Y'know, I'm a little disappointed that nobody here made this list, but more than that, I was shocked to see Perez Hilton at #17. Seventeen! I'm not exactly sure what power he wields, but I'm certain it's far less than Chi Chi LaRue, who only comes in at #36. I declare shenanigans.

Yeah, the order of that list was totally gay.

speedo-wearing models and not swimmers

Nothing wrong with that! And thanks indeedy for that link.

As for 1, yeah, that list was interesting but hard to figure. I'm a little embarrassed that I had no idea that either Anderson Cooper or Ad Nags were gay, and frankly I'd rather not have to let Nags on the team. And while I really like Ellen DeGeneres, I don't get how she ends up as more "powerful" than whatshisname Gill or Barney Frank.

Also embarrassing: I've heard the name, but I don't actually know who Perez Hilton is.

Perez Hilton.

Per Ez.

who?

The Wikipedia entry.

7 to 6 . . . never mind.

5: Um.

I am no longer embarrassed that I did not know who Perez Hilton is.

Is he/she actually any kind of powerful in a Drudge-for-the-E!-crowd way? Or is that list just crazier than previously suspected?

Like I said, I declare shenanigans.

The real question is, "Where's Doogie?"

Perez Hilton has outed a number of famous people, Doogie among them. Maybe that's what OUT considers powerful.

Hmm, interesting point.

Perez is the younger brother of Ljubljana Hilton and Bratislava Hilton.

#13. There's no Matt Drudge. Or Michaelangelo Signorile for that matter. It's an odd list, too, that includes someone like Foster who doesn't talk about who she sleeps with, but neglects to include someone like Drudge who only talks about who everyone else sleeps with.

Yes a lot of the pictures are of models in speedos but from time to time swimmers do show up. In the past I did post a lot of pictures of real swimmers I found at various sites. But after swimming at the Gay Games I noticed various older gentleman taking photos of swimmers and other men in speedo without permission. Therefore I try to find photos that look more like photo shoots so at least that person has given some sort of permission. Plus real swimmers don't look much like models. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Thanks for the link.

Ah, got it.

6, 7: Awesome.

Also, nobody on that list has Superkoranic powers.

Why is Nate Berkus even on that list? He's an interior designer, fercrissakes.
