Friday, April 29th, 2005

The tech behemoth performed some serious pirouettes to explain away the company’s pulling of support for a Washington state gay rights bill last week after threats of a boycott from an Evangelical minister. Bill Gates weighed in with a Seattle Times interview on Tuesday in which he admitted he was surprised by the outrage […]

Gotta Love Those Penelope Cruz Lesbian Rumors

Friday, April 29th, 2005

We’re pretty sure it’s wishful thinking both on the part of the population of Mexico and on the part of Hothouse, but the big news is that Penelope Cruz goosed her bosom buddy Salma Hayek’s pert little butt the other day. Penelope says it’s because she was delirious with the flu, and she “grabbed Salma’s […]

Cynthia Nixon on HBO

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Not in Sex and the City, alas. Hothouse fave Nixon costars in Warm Springs, airing this Saturday. And get this—the newly-lesbian Nixon stars as the rumored lesbian Eleanor Roosevelt. Don’t expect the movie to address either states-of-affair though: The biopic focuses on a pre-presidential Franklin Roosevelt (played by Kenneth Branagh) as he […]

Everybody Gets Laid

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Hothouse admits it: We have never been to a sex party. But we’ve got our chance coming up Saturday with Playful Paradise’s “Experience” girls-only night. We’re not sure what to think. Is it neurotic of us to be put off by the website’s bad grammar? Also, leather couches, cheetah posters, and champagne & strawberries are […]

Splish Splash Day in Galveston

Wednesday, April 27th, 2005

Drudge reports that yesterday while speaking to locals in Galveston, TX, President Bush asked, apropos of nothing, if the city still had an annual spring beach party called Splash Day. The exchange went:
BUSH: Do you still have Splash Day?
(LAUGHTER)
BUSH: You have to be a baby boomer to know what I’m talking about.
(LAUGHTER)
BUSH: I’m not […]

Oh Henrietta’s

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

We heart Henrietta Hudson’s, and we’ve hearted it as long as we’ve lived in New York City. But we think we’ll heart it even more after we see what they’ve done with the place at tonight’s grand re-opening. Renovations began last July but took a bit longer than expected, according to manager Dee. The bad […]

Monday, April 25th, 2005

Finally, some real lesbians on the L Word. But if they really wanted to promote Olivia Cruises, they should have stacked the decks with Shanes and Bettes.
Jenny, Is This What U Want? It seems like you show us your tits in every episode.
Dana, how did we know you’d pick out the biggest cock […]
