Well, Andy Warhol said everyone gets 15 minutes of fame, but has Susan Boyle's quarter-hour already expired? That's the opinion of New York columnist Michael Musto, but I think his Rolex knock-off is running fast. Musto thinks Boyle is done, but, you watch, Susan will be around for at least another week or two.

She was on Larry King Live on Friday. There's rumors that she's going to appear on Oprah, and I wouldn't put it past American Idol and Simon Cowell to spring her on us, giving 20 million Americans a chance to be amazed by her sweet voice and reviled by her hairy eyebrows.

June is Gay Pride Month, and throughout the entire month Turner Classic Movies is showcasing several movies with various depictions and stereotypes of gays and the gay lifestyle. The focus isn't necessarily movies with a gay theme, but movies with gay characters, or movies with gay actors, writers and directors. Some of the movies include The Maltese Falcon, Designing Woman, and The Picture of Dorian Gray.

I would also include at least two Hitchcock films in this line-up: Psycho and Strangers on a Train, which allude to certain characters being gay during a time when blatant depictions were much less common.

The films will be shown every Monday and Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. in June, and will be hosted by Robert Osbourne and Richard Barrios, along with guests Tab Hunter, Alan Cumming, Michael Musto, Ron Nyswaner and Charles Busch.

Dear Keith Olbermann,

I know you say your producers are making you do stories about American Idol and Britney Spears, but I think you get just a little bit of glee out of ripping on celebrities. Why else would you agree to not only read the crap on the teleprompter, but engage in no fewer than four minutes of idle chit-chat with gossipers like Michael Musto from Village Voice? He's not funny, by the way. Neither is the chick from the radio station who joined you in bashing American Idol last night. If I want celebrity news, I'll watch an entertainment show or... uh... write it myself (sigh). You, however, should save that celebrity gossip for the Keeping Tabs segment and finish your show on something else: like the search for Jimmy Hoffa. There was so much more you could've done with the guy from the Skeptics Society.

Have you seen the photos of Britney Spears driving her SUV with her 4-month-old son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap? It's all the gossip columnists and entertainment news programs can talk about (Britney says she was fleeing paparazzi). For some reason, it has captured the mind of Keith Olbermann. Whenever he reports celebrity news on his show, Countdown, he usually begrudgingly says his producers made him do it or he does it in popsicle stick theater. Not this time. Keith spent the last SIX MINUTES on his show last night making fun of Britney Spears with gossip columnist Michael Musto. The banners on the screen said Dummy and Me and Moron on Board. He and Musto were very nasty about the whole situation, Musto taking the opportunity to show off his celebrity gossip know-how by bashing Britney, Kate Moss and Michael Jackson in the same breath.

It seemed a little over the top, even for Olbermann.
