Actress Kate O'Mara, of Dynasty and Doctor Who fame, died today at a nursing home in Sussex, England. She was 74 years old.

A sad yet not entirely unexpected development in the case of the openly gay teen who used a stun gun to chase away his bullies: Darnell "Dynasty" Young has been expelled from Arsenal Tech High School until January of next year.

The mother of an openly gay 17-year-old high school student from Indianapolis says she stands by her decision to arm her son with a stun gun so he could defend himself against relentless bullying from classmates.

Dick Griffey, founder of L.A.-based Solar Records (home of Shalamar and Dynasty), died at 71.

A company called ACNE is launching a line of shirts for transgender consumers. To get even queerer, they're named after Dynasty characters and were conceived by the editor of the trans magazine Candy. And you thought fashion was gay before!

There is a simple formula to determine how successful the stars of hit television shows go on to become: how long it takes before the reunion special. Seinfeld held out for 11 years, how long did everyone else last?

You didn't think we'd post last week's Top Ten of the coolest male TV characters without following up with one dedicated to all the honeys, now, did you? And while our definitive men's list—checked and rechecked by a panel of TV experts canvassed at various local correctional facilities and gourmet coffee outlets—surprisingly met with some vocal opposition, we're confident its vagina-filled counterpart will please even the most persnickety of TV-lady lovers. There's only one way to know for sure, however. Click play, and decide for yourselves.

How will the rich kid plutocrats of tomorrow learn to manage the $41 trillion that will be coming their way in the next 50 years? It's easy! At the steamship-era rich Gowen family weekend (can't wait to see the embroidered t-shirts!) they brought an expert, Joline Godfrey, the author of "Raising Financially Fit Kids": "The preteens made posters showing what they would like to spend their money on and what causes they would donate to. Teenagers learned about consumer culture. Twenty-somethings received instruction on starting a small business and the financial life skills appropriate to new college graduates." Skills like... what headbands to buy and where to get the best blow? They just don't teach that to the poors. [NYT]
