Finally, after years of hiding true feelings and suppressing a love that dare not speak its name, North Korea has let one of its secrets slip – it’s gay.

Just a week after joining Twitter, the country reportedly opened up an official Facebook page today, on which it describes itself as a man who is interested in other men.

Many people on both sides of the argument have weighed in on the Park 51 Islamic center, more commonly known as the Ground Zero Mosque. But until now, one important and clearly relevant voice was left unheard – that of the exotic dancer community that apparently thrives around the Word Trade Center site. Now, thanks to the Wall Street Journal, that voice is being heard.

Last week on her show, Nancy Grace announced that she would be donating proceeds from her latest book, “Death on the D-List,” to Wesley Glen Ministries, an organization in Georgia that provides housing and support for the mentally handicapped. And her donations to the charity are bound to keep getting bigger, as it was announced today that the book debuted at number 13 on the New York Times Bestseller list.

When it comes to building his media empire, Newsmax founder Christopher Ruddy must be following the old adage “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,” because despite putting in a failing bid for ownership of Newsweek, he’s still making big moves to expand his company.

Living in New York, it is sometimes easy to forget that people elsewhere in the country have to drive themselves places instead of just whistling for a cab or dipping into the subway. In Los Angeles, however, driving is an integral part of the Angeleno identity, a fact that was reaffirmed this week when President Obama caused a massive traffic jam and enraged some L.A. commuters.

Making a campaign video is a dicey process. First, there’s the inevitable low production value, and then there’s the tendency for candidates to fall victim to attention-grabbing gimmicks and questionable musical numbers. But nothing quite compares to the embarrassment of the dreaded spoof video, and unfortunately for Vermont Senate hopeful Daniel Freilich, no one filled him in on that.

What does a former U.S. General do after being fired/retiring from the military in response to controversial statements he made about his boss, who just happens to be the leader of the free world? Needless to say, it’s not the most desirable state of unemployment. Luckily for Stanley McChrystal, however, the Ivy League had a job opening that only a man with his employment history could fill.

During Lady Gaga‘s headlining set at Lollapalooza last weekend, she devoured a fake human heart, was attacked by a giant mechanical fish monster, and demanded that all the males in the frenzied crowd expose their genitalia – as a member of the audience, I can confirm that many of them, self excluded, obliged. If any of these stage antics are commonplace on her Monster Ball Tour, a certain octogenarian politician is about to be scandalized.

Most people accused of kidnapping a co-ed in 1983, forcing her to take bong rips, and subsequently making her pray to a presumably pot-inspired deity named Aqua Buddha would want to take advantage of every opportunity presented to them to clear their name. Rand Paul is not one of those people.

It is reasonable to assume that if someone saw a passerby wearing a shirt that boldly declared “F*ck Tea,” they would probably expect the reverse side to say something stupid like “Coffee Is The Sh*t!” In fact, these tea-damning shirts do exist, but the slogan on the back takes a political jab at a different type of “Tea”, stating “Progress Is The Real American Party.” Hear that, Rand Paul?

Greta Van Susteren is having a bad week, and now it’s gotten even worse. It seems she’s been having some problems with her Mac devices lately, which has her questioning whether a PC might be a better platform for her to work from – the horror! In an effort to regain her faith in Steve Jobs and all his toys, she took to her blog at 2 am yesterday morning to ask her readers for tech help.

By now it’s old news that President Obama didn’t get to spend his 49th birthday with Michelle, Malia, or Sasha, who had prior engagements in Spain and at summer camp. As unfortunate as that may be, he managed to wrangle up a few high-profile media moguls (okay, one media mogul and her de facto celebrity friend) to go to dinner with him.

In a surprisingly light-handed statement (considering the pending government hit put out on SPC Bradley Manning), Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell asked the people behind WikiLeaks to “do the right thing” today by forking over around 15,ooo currently unreleased documents on the war in Afghanistan, as well as removing the 70,000 documents they put online in July.

The time that Kristin Davis spent in the clank for running Eliot Spitzer‘s preferred escort service apparently altered her career goals, because earlier this year she declared that she would be running for governor of New York. Now, her campaign video for the 2010 New York gubernatorial race is out, and it’s… interesting.

Revelations that some of the stimulus money shelled out under President Obama‘s Recovery Act has been squandered on less-than-deserving projects are nothing new. But now, thanks to GOP Sens. Tom Coburn and John McCain, a large portion of these allegedly unworthy ventures have been exposed and criticized in a handy-dandy list.

Senator Lindsey Graham visited On The Record last night to chat with Greta Van Susteren about some “novel ideas” he has for improving the country. His best one? Changing the 14th Amendment to eliminate birthright citizenship and punish children of illegal immigrants who were born on US soil. Novel indeed!

In an interesting move for someone who has previously tried to affirm his heterosexuality (yet a fairly expected one for someone who is now being called a gay icon), Illinois Representative Aaron Schock, with his camera-ready smile and infamous physique, showed up on the Bravo channel last night.

Snooki-Gate? President Obama was on The View today, where he charmed the audience with jokes about how he wasn’t invited to Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding and how he had no idea who Jersey Shore‘s Snooki is. But he must be using a different joke writer these days, because he seemed to know all about the pint-sized “guidette” a few months ago during the White House Correspondents Dinner. Scandal!

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has kept a low profile since her throne was abdicated to Hillary Clinton, but that all changed last night when she teamed up with legendary songstress Aretha Franklin for a soulful jam session.

The writers at Life & Style are back with more of their truth stretching antics. First, they fabricated a story about Sandra Bullock and Jesse James getting back together, and now, they are claiming that Katie Holmes is expecting her second child. Luckily, Gossip Cop was there to call out both stories as big fat phonies.

This morning the unthinkable happened: the eight cast members of Jersey Shore all woke up before noon, (seemingly) un-hungover, and (mostly) covering up their habitually exposed bronze chests with (somewhat) tasteful business attire. The reason? They were the honored guests at the New York Stock Exchange in charge of ringing the opening bell.

Some pretty crazy things have been happening on The View lately, and the show is about to get even more interesting. That’s because President Barack Obama is scheduled to appear as a guest on this Thursday’s broadcast, becoming the first sitting president to ever appear on a daytime talk show.

Security surrounding the supposedly confidential “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” survey has been lackluster, to say the least. First, the survey, which was sent to 400,000 non-deployed active troops, was leaked. And now, self-proclaimed gay rights activist and civilian blogger John Aravosis claims he was able to participate in a secondary portion of the Pentagon’s survey.

Fact: Sandra Bullock is fluent in German. Fabrication: Sandra Bullock is reuniting with her now ex-husband Jesse James, and no matter how much Life & Style tries to prove this falsity is factual, it’s still not true, according to a piece just posted on GossipCop.com.

The Alabama Gulf Coast is known for many things, like Civil War era fortresses and alcohol-soaked spring breaks. But now, the southern strip of white sand beaches has another, less flattering trademark attraction thanks to the BP oil disaster: exploding water.
