Cheeky UK gossip e-newsletter Popbitch will never win any Judith Miller Prizes for journalistic integrity; in fact, we get the feeling they would do hard time if you didn't let them reveal their sources. Take today's item about the coming-out chat Alexis Arquette had with his dad, Lewis Arquette:

Alexis Arquette, cross-dressing brother of Patricia and Rosanna, remembers the time he broke the news that he was gay to his father. His father was very understanding, saying: "If it helps, son, I had to suck a lot of c—k to get my first break too."

Pere Lewis went on: "And once you've sucked every last one dry in this town, and that time will come, son, then it's time to turn it up a notch. Get yours sliced clean off! Preferably with basic cable cameras in the room. Breaks don't fall from trees in this town, m'boy! You gotta make them happen." He then tussled his son's hair, cracked open a cold Bud, and proudly shared the first frigid sips with his little man.
