L Word Spin-Off Contest: Pick Your Girl
Showtime announced last week that L Word creator Ilene Chaiken is in the process of developing a spin-off of the popular lesbian show. One character will be the jumping off point for the show. Remember Maude spinning off from All In The Family? Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. was a spin-off from The Andy Griffith Show. And Buffy The Vampire Slayer begat Angel. Which of your favorite L Word characters will find new life in their own fresh plot of TV Land?
Who will it be: Shane, Alice, Bette, Tina, Jenny, Kit, Papi, Helena, Max, Tasha, Dana, Dawn Denbo or maybe Gaby Deveaux?
Pick your girl! Post a comment below and suggest a plot line in 50 words or so. We’ll select our personal completely subjective favorite and send you an L Word t-shirt!

Nike Admits They Ain’t Right
Responding to an outpouring of complaints from LGBT community groups, Nike has acted swiftly to withdraw its recent “That Ain’t Right” ad campaign which sports an image of a dunking basketball player whose crotch straddles the face of another (which is then overlaid with the words: “That Ain’t Right” — see picture above). It seems hard to believe that Nike execs were unaware of the homophobic undertones of the ad. In any event they’ve done the right thing and pulled it. Get all the details at Advocate.com.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Trailer of the Week)

Full Frontal McKellen?
The Hollywood Reporter serves up a sexy scoop on the PBS broadcast slate for 2009. It seems the Royal Shakespeare Company production of King Lear includes a nude Ian McKellen. The filmed performance is scheduled for broadcast in 2009, but PBS President Paula Kerger is unsure of whether it will pass FCC standards.
Per the Reporter article:
“I haven’t seen the taped version,” Kerger said, when asked about the possibility PBS would censor the full frontal nudity in the stage performance. Besides, she added, “it’s not what I think about it, it’s what the FCC will allow.”
