Have the lesbians stopped screaming Clarice?

After all these years, we finally realize what Jodie Foster was trying to say in the movie Nell. “Hay may chick a pay!” She was struggling to say, “I’m a crazy lesbian!”

The actress and director well known for her film roles in Freaky Friday, Candleshoe and Nell yesterday publicly acknowledged for the very first time her female partner Cydney Bernard and therefore simultaneously coming out as a lesbian and ending years of speculation about her true sexual orientation. Click here to see a photo of the happy couple.

The woman was famous for playing Nell, a woman who was trapped in the closet for most of her life and struggled with expressing herself.

But did she REALLY come out? It’s not like she said “I’m proud to be a lesbian.” Probably because she is aware she’s been very coy about her sexuality for decades. Jodie Foster at a Women in Entertainment awards dinner praised Cydney Bernard, a film producer as THE one who “sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss.” Aww. She also sort of acknowledged she’s a little wacky too as she told her audience, “I’ve been in this business for 42 years and there’s no way you can do it without being as nutty as a fruitcake.”

I have to agree. Show business will drive you nuts! I’ve been blogging my little heart out the past month in the bloodthirsty Gay Bloggies competition and I’m pretty loopy right now.

Picking off twelve of the hottest gay internet personalities, the adult gay website Queer Click launched the competition and guess what? I’ve made it to the TOP THREE! If I make it to the final two, the final challenge is going to be to post a “karaoke video with yours truly singing his heart out. Click here to vote now.

Listen to today’s show as Marc Felion and me talk about Audrey Serrano, the woman who was awarded $2.5 million in damages for being misdiagnosed as being HIV positive and receiving treatments for over eight years before discovering she never had the virus that causes AIDS.

Scientists in Korea have genetically engineered some glow in the dark cats. These two little kitties had electroluminescent genes splice into them in vitro. The poor dears were delivered by cesarean section and two of their siblings didn’t make it.

So what would you do with glow in the dark cats? It seems that doctors are just trying to figure out how to splice genes and nothing proves the point that it is possible like glowing cats. They are hoping to splice human genetic diseases into the cats in hopes of curing humans. Unlucky cats.

I don’t know what it is about Asia and genetically modified animals but the Japanese have made mice that aren’t afraid of cats. It seems that mice are genetically programmed to fear cats because of their smell. If you remove the smell receptors, the mice just go about their business as though they aren’t about to get eaten. Lucky cats.

One of our Australian listeners Joanne sent us a story about an adventurous kangaroo that tried to swim the ocean. I don’t know had its olfactory senses altered like the mice but it didn’t get very far before a shark gobbled it up. I think sharks may be the reason why you don’t really hear much about kangaroos swimming. Poor Roo.

Here’s a video of a poor little lamb that gets taken on what seems to be a not very fun ride by a bird of prey of some sort. The video could be a set up in that the little lamb was left on the ledge knowing full well that the bird would swoop down and carry it away. I just hated to see the lamb just give up like that,but I think that is what lambs do, they just give up. Poor lamb.
