Supporters of a renowned lesbian bar in New York’s West Village were left scratching their heads after Samantha Ronson turned down a gig to help the struggling landmark.

‘Rubyfruit’ in the West Village ended up closing, unable to keep up with rising rent costs and a smaller crowd.

However, just this week someone stepped up and financially helped out the club, which will be reopened and named the ‘RF Lounge’.  The grand opening will be in November.

Rubyfruit’s previous DJ, Stacy “Deejay Stacy” Ledwith says it’s all true.  Samantha wanted to have nothing to do with the club - especially after she learned it was a lesbian bar.

She explains, “The owner, Debra Fiero, said how great it would be if Sam Ronson deejayed there one night. At first, her agent said it was $8,000 for the night plus airfare and hotel. Then, he was informed it was a gay and lesbian bar, we were told she doesn’t do those kind of venues. She doesn’t do gay and lesbian bars and clubs. I thought it was kind of strange considering she’s a lesbian. It would have been really great to have her in there and help. It’s really like betraying her sisters. It just doesn’t make sense.

“In our day and age, being gay or lesbian is so accepted. It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever to not work with your own people.”

On the flip side, Samantha’s publicist, Brandon Phelps, insists the story has been fabricated.

He says, “It is not true. I can tell you that I am the only one that runs her calendar and was never approached by Rubyfruit.”

George Michael was caught again this weekend with drugs while carousing a public bathroom.

Of course the bathroom was one of those where gay men have random sexual encounters.

A bathroom attendant informed police and when officers arrived they found Michael, 45, with marijuana and crack cocaine on him.  He was taken to a police station where he admitted the drugs were his.

Police say that the pop star “showed remorse” so they decided to let it go and not charge him with anything, which seems odd since Michael has been arrested numerous times for the same thing.  Makes no sense.

A police spokesperson said, “He was taken to a North London police station where he received a caution for possession of class A and class C drugs. He has been released and there will be no further action.”

Ok, so don’t throw him in jail, but at least make this guy go to rehab.  He’s a MESS!

“You know how I always like to share what’s going on in my life with you all, and I was going to give you some news, and unfortunately rumors started circulating all over the Internet. I am here to set the record straight right now. I am not pregnant. It just turned out to be a bump. I went and had it checked out.  That’s not the news. I am the new face of CoverGirl.”

- Ellen Degeneres admits that the rumors are true, her CoverGirl cosmetics campaign launches in January.

Ever since the California Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was legit and legal in that state, George Takei has been talking marriage.

After more than 20 years of being together in a committed relationship, Takei, 71, and longtime partner, Brad Altman, 54, finally wed Sunday evening in a Buddhist ceremony in L.A.

There were over 200 guests at the lavish ceremony, which included Star Trek co-stars, Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig, who were the maid of honor and best man.

Nichols said it was a beautiful and emotional event. “I was fighting back the tears. But they came oozing out anyway. I’m so happy that they’re both able to legally proclaim their commitment to one another after spending the past 21 years together.”

Takei was overwhelmed with emotion as well. He said,

“All I can remember is what the priest said. That this moment will never happen again. It’s something to savor.”

Congratulations!

Samanthan Ronson reportedly announced to the crowd at the Chateau Marmont nightclub that she has plans to marry girlfriend Lindsay Lohan.

According to club goers she gushed,

“By the end of this year, my love will be Mrs Ronson.”

She added confidently, “Tonight shows the power of a woman – to underestimate that is to underestimate the world.”

Raymond, a lounge singer at the Marmont club, says he believes Sam and Lindsay were meant to be.

“Samantha and Lindsay are the most in love Hollywood couple I’ve ever seen.  Every Friday night they come in here and do cheesy dancing. MC Hammer is their favorite.”

Well then, it must be love.

Here’s a TMZ video of a bunch of paparazzi stupidly falling all over themselves to get a shot at Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson.

One of them asks Lindsay about Courtenay Semel and she insists, “It’s not true.”

Meanwhile, the folks over at Buzznet are saying that Courtenay’s supposed new love interest, Tila Tequila, and her aren’t really together, they’re just putting a show on for publicity.

The 60 photos and accompanying video reveal a lot of skin, a bit of lover’s playfulness and a complete lack of spur-of-the-moment authenticity. It’s as if stunted self-promoters Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt had been transformed into a pair of bikini-clad women who aren’t really that into one another.

I love this crazy bitch. She’s a goofball and I love her.
