Gay Star News: Oscar odds for LGBT films; Sara Gilbert and her sister Melissa; How Rosie’s engagement became news

It’s been a mighty busy day with a press junket for the terrific film Pariah to attend and the Prop. 8 hearing in San Francisco to track.

So I’m busy writing all kinds of things for Gay Star News – my new day job that began this week – and I am going to provide you with links to stories I filed today on: LGBT films that have the best Oscar chances including Beginners starring Christopher Plummer and Ewan McGregor (pictured above); Sara Gilbert’s sister, Melissa, going on The Talk and sharing how Sara came out to her; and Rosie O’Donnell talking about how her engagement became big news so fast.

Check those out and the rest of the site which is in Beta-testing mode this month and officially launches Jan. 5, 2012!
