"Will's ... moribund sex life [on Will & Grace] continues to irritate gay people.... Ill be the first to admit that I'd like to see the last episode (May 18) end with the perennially frustrated Will cruising a seedy leather bar and leaving at 3 A.M. in a drunken stupor with a shirtless and tattooed guy named Spike.

"The pragmatist in me, however, realizes that explicit sexuality isn't what this show is about. Will & Grace introduced gay people to millions of Americans and brought us into their living rooms .... The gay community owes [the show's creators] a debt of gratitude. They made it possible for the networks to take gay-themed shows seriously."

"What is so great about this film for me is that [Felicity] Huffman clearly gets it.... [Her] respect comes through in her willingness to show Bree's bad choices as well as her good so that audiences can see a real character instead of the caricature that has become so familiar in the way in which transgender women are portrayed."

"Folks, we complain a lot about how Hollywood has become a cesspool of violence and immorality. This is our chance to do something about initiating a change in that situation. Please join me in supporting End of the Spear."

"Get ready for Dellen Cruise. That's what Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes told Ellen DeGeneres that they'd name their unborn child if it's a boy. If it's a girl, the name will be Ellen. They were kidding, of course. We hope. DeGeneres also offered to be the child's godmother--and to babysit."
