So, y'all, I'm on the train now, headed to DC and the annual convention of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association. I'm posting from my mobile so I can't give you a live link, but if you head over to my Q-Notes staff blog at insidesource.q-notes.com you'll be able ...

My god, it’s Jesse

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Anyone can tell you just how pathetically slow I am on the uptake, especially when it comes to all things Hollywood and entertainment. Perhaps that's the main reason why I leave entertainment reporting and decisions at Q-Notes up to our associate editor, who is more than qualified than I to ...
