Here’s the clip of Ellen Degeneres announcing she’s getting married on her show today. Ellen’s partner, Portia de Rossi was in the audience.

Said Ellen: “Yesterday, the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage. So I would like to say right now, for the first time, I am announcing that I am getting married…I’m so excited. It’s something that we’ve, of course, wanted to do, and we’ve wanted to be legal, and we’re very very excited.”

Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP…

On the left, a look at Molly McKay and Pam Brown on the day they await the California Supreme Court’s Ruling on same-sex marriage. The ruling happens around the 3:30 mark.

On the right, scorned, self-described ‘YouTube Superstar’ Tricia Walsh-Smith’s third batshit crazy video about her divorce to Schubert Organization president Phillip Smith. If you missed her first two (and I don’t know how you could have) they are here and here.

The actor John Phillip Law, who played the blind angel Pygar in Barbarella, has died at the age of 70 in Los Angeles.

Grand Theft Auto star and fashion designer/photographer Karl Lagerfeld is launching his new book Metamorphoses of an American at a New York gallery opening tonight. It features five years worth of photos of model, sometime Manhattan real estate agent, and occasional private part flasher Brad Kroenig. Lagerfeld’s attachment to Kroenig is apparently as strong as his attachment to Diet Coke — he’s always on hand.

Maureen Orth yesterday posted a piece on the Lagerfeld/Kroenig relationship for Vanity Fair yesterday:

“‘Have you met Brad?’ Lagerfeld asked. Brad Kroenig, a top male mode who, at 6 foot 1, looks vaguely like Matthew McConaughey, was sparkling in the same silver sequined jacket he’d worn to the Met Costume gala the night before. He and Lagerfeld attended New York’s ‘party of the year’ together, and they had just arrived in Paris the afternoon I saw them, none the worse for wear. Kroenig, an easy-going 29-year-old with the uncanny ability to transform himself to look like everyone from James Dean to Errol Flynn, is the American whose ‘metamorphoses’ Lagerfeld has been documenting for the past five years. ‘I thought it would be interesting to follow the physical evolution of someone,’ the designer told me in his rapid-fire German accent. ‘Without him knowing it, he has an unbelievable range. It’s a kind of gift. He knows nothing about these things. It’s fun for somebody to skate on these images and interpretations without being an actor—the characters, the situations, the attitudes, while at the same time to stay a completely modern all-American.’”

New York mag has a preview of the book.

A new art exhibition called “Saint Gael” by founding ACT UP member and artist Vincent Gagliostro opened in Paris yesterday at the Miss China Beauty Gallery.

Said Gagliostro in a statement: “SAINT GAEL (RE-USED) statement: 1. (with a predatory gleam in his eye): ‘heaven’s mouth’ - I thought, tearing his image from the magazine. The most beautiful mouth I had ever seen - Gael Garcia Bernal - a new subject. Further retrieving images from numerous official and unofficial websites, it seemed I was moving from my original focus on his beauty to an encounter with my surpressed voyeuristic nature. Predatory nature. Musical nature. Music, because what I seemed to be on to was a kind of ’sampling’ much like a DJ/record producer does when creating a work. Studying his (GGB) film ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’, I started re-sequencing the images, removing bits here, adding bits there. For example, in one sequence Gael is fucking the girl companion of the roadtrip. By cropping her out of the movement and re-using the images I could bring my subject closer to my world of sex, desire and politics–three ideas inseparable in my fag world. This project has led me to explore my nature and find perhaps a new willingness to turn the cameras on me and my culture, gay men.”

More at East Village Boys and on the artist’s website.

Apparently there’s a new book on its way out, Hollywood Babylon: It’s Back that’s going to feature a gallery of the well-endowed male stars of the silver screen:

“Among those featured in full-frontal shots are Mick Jagger, Daniel Radcliffe, Ewan McGregor, John Malkovich, James Woods, Richard Gere and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. We leave it to you to decide whether all the snaps are authentic. The authors also write about the reputed size of many other stars in the book, due June 1. Johnny Depp was known as ‘donkey d-’, they say. Sean Connery posed nude for art studies, and one student said:’It was the biggest I’ve ever seen. It made me drop my charcoal pencil.’”

It’s also going to feature some unsavory gossip: “James Dean showed a disconcerting interest in a 12-year-old boy in the early 1950s. Director Elia Kazan believed the tale: ‘I’ve known many actors who have been twisted up in their sex lives, but never anybody as sick and unhealthy as Dean was.’”

And some things about necrophilia we just didn’t need to hear: “Strange things happened to Judy Garland’s body.”
