Today on Autostraddle: Green & Riese will tackle the love! and loss! and life! and lesbians! in the Young Adult Fiction section, because reading is auto-fundamental. Stef recaps Lady GaGa’s NYC concert and later this evening Carly is, per ushe, your Tuesday Televisionary (TK).
Too easy, Miss California. Just too. fucking. easy. And down you go with your nude photos, ten toy soldiers all in a row. I can’t wait to see what Gallagher’s got up her Wal-Mart blazered sleeve. (@popcrunch)
Oh! Look! Miss California has a statement! “”I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos.” Huh. So what you’re saying is, to each his own? (@ohnotheydidnt) (more…)
Today on Autostraddle: Get your recap fix with Crystal from Australia’s complete recap the controversial lesbian storyline from Aussie soap Home & Away! And Green interviews indie author Carissa Halston!
Carly’s Tuesday Televisionary column will actually appear on Wednesday, which is very NewNowNext of her.
1. omg. Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, the latest interrogation tape stars …. ILENE FUCKING CHAIKEN!!!!! She wants us to listen to her so bad, it makes me feel weird for her. Maybe she OD’ed on beta blockers in 2006 and just couldn’t stop taking more of them. Seriously, this is too easy. I can’t even make a joke. Sidenote; I’m afraid to watch it. Someone tell me what happens.

Today on Autostraddle! – Yes, Riese & A;ex went out in the rain & wind to the Times Talk Panel, where we met up with Reader Nicole and met lots of other nice ladies. Ilene was not one of them. Recap of the panel is here: “Jennifer Beals is a Perfect Human and Ilene Chaiken Talks A Lot.” Also, obvs, your Televisionary Tuesday!
1. Miss California has spoken. She received 2,000 friend requests on facebook, which’ll possibly be spun into a new research study on gay marriage by the religious right. Furthermore, she believes she has auto-won by giving a voice to the Intolerant Peoples of America. That’s so sweet! Like real sugar, which she never consumes. (more…)

Have you seen Riese’s GRAND OPUS OF LIFE yet? Part #1 of The L Word WTF? ‘Cause you should. It contains many of The L Word‘s most ridiculous moments and is bound to be a [West] Hollywood classic. Also obvs check out Robin & Carlytron at the GLAAD Awards, hobnobbing with all the gay superstars.
1. Defense Secretary says ban on gays in the military won’t end any time soon. This is one of many laws I cannot believe we have in the first place, like is this 1952 or something. (@nytimes)
2. The Bilerco Project is internet hate-crimed by Eastern European Internet Hackers. (@the advocate)

0. BREAKING NEWS Helena Peabody’s L Word Interrogation Tape is up at Showtime.com!
0. BREAKING NEWS PART II: The L Word‘s Jennifer Beals has been cast in Fox’s “rookie hit” Lie to Me as “an assistant U.S. attorney by the name of Zoe Landau” who improbably hires her ex-husband played by Tim Roth to help her with an arson case. Thanks to reader Nicole for the tip.
There’s gonna be all kinds of new stuff going up today and this week, I hope everyone is ready to rock. Also — I’m behind on emails and stuff, so I’ll get to all of ’em ASAP.
1. The Advocate is gonna let the girls in! This is REALLY SERIOUS BIG NEWS for us queer publishing geeks. “While The Advocate is a vital part of LGBT media, the articles and advertisements have been primarily geared towards gay men … it is with great pleasure to announce that the April 2009 issue has been one of the most inclusive editions. The magazine still has a long way to go, but praise is due when a company commits to diversity. The magazine featured more lesbian couples, muxes (a sub-culture of trans Mexicans), and some other portions which reflect the diversity of our community.” (@queers united)
1. OMFG it’s the most important day of daytime television since Rachel Maddow went on The View! Drop everything. Remember when Ellen wasn’t allowed to talk about being gay on her show? And now her smokin’ hot wife is totally gonna be ON THE SHOW? Progress I tell you, progress! (@the ellen show)
And we’ve got your videos of today’s interview of Portia De Rossi by Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen Show from Monday March 16, 2009:
