An oh-so-over-it Hollywood lesbian pens about a particular run-in with Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. Like everything in Hollywood, the truth is stranger than fiction.
Women We Love - Smokin' Brits and Aussies
There’s nothing quite like a woman with an accent to make the girls swoon. And during the steamy month of July, we're offering up some cool, reserved hotness with our Women We Love: Smokin’ Brits and Aussies! Consider Kate Winslet’s heaving cleavage aboard the Titanic, Nicole Kidman’s garter belts and stockings while swinging through Moulin Rouge, Catherine Zeta-Jones' sword-fighting siren in Zorro and Cate Blanchett’s armor-clad, battle-ready Elizabeth. There’s no denying the collective heat!
In the category of 'outrageous' political maneuvers, Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s attempt to attach the late Sen. Jesse Helms to a bill that would help fund the global fight against AIDS takes the cake.

The Maine state motto is 'the way life should be,' and being a seasonal visitor to Maine, I have to agree. Life, for me, in Down East Maine is shared with my kids, my wife and the two men who are the kids 'dads,' Walter and Allan. Nothing fancy, nothing the kids can break... no electricity, no public water. Amish country, my son calls it. The way life should be is something we can all share.

A Day in the Life with Tajamika Paxton: Episode Four
Writer, producer, yoga instructor, woman about town... in the fast paced world of Hollywood, few have seen more than Tajamika Paxton... and lived to tell about it.

Sassy Sarah Silverman's a single lady now that she's not f***ing Matt Damon or Jimmy Kimmel anymore. Saint Angelina Jolie gives birth to twins in Nice and becomes a national hero. Wanda Sykes and Julia Louis Dreyfus tie the knot California style. Mary Louise Parker makes Elizabeth Perkins her girlfriend and her bitch. Gimme Sugar gives me a toothache but I can't stop watching. And Thigh Master genius Suzanne Somers bares her beaver for the Home Shopping Network.
Inevitably when a single lesbian meets a mate, in the rush of new love she completely neglects her old gal pals. Some of them hole up to have non-stop sex for months on end, some don’t want to take their new catch out in public and risk losing her to another woman, and others think now that they have found their other half, they don’t need anyone else.
