Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have welcomed, what is destined to be one handsome, baby boy into the world over the weekend. The Oscar winner for Vicki Cristina Barcelona gave birth to their son at Cedars’ Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Cruz and Bardem worked together in 1992’s Jamon Jamon and in Pedro Almodovar’s 1997 film Live Flesh before re-teaming in Woody Allen’s Vicki Cristina Barcelona, for which Cruz won the Oscar playing a fiery bisexual artist. Bardem was nominated for an Oscar for playing gay poet Reinaldo Arenas in Before Night Falls. Bardem is currently nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Biutiful.

Congratulations are in order for Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, who tied the knot in a small ceremony two weeks ago and who are expecting their first baby together, Life and Style reports exclusively. Cruz, whose marriage to Bardem pretty much ends lesbian rumors that have floated around about her for years (insert sad face here), won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as a fiery bisexual artist in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Milk took the New York Film Critics Circle’s top award for film of the year it was announced Wednesday. Gus van Sant’s biopic about slain gay rights activist and San Francisco City Supervisor Harvey Milk also pulled in an award for Sean Penn as best actor and Josh Brolin as best supporting actor.

Rather than recapping our usual favorite lesbian-themed films like The Incredible Story of Two Girlsin Love, Kissing Jessica Stein, and Desert Hearts, I thought I’d take a moment to pay tribute to those great films with more subtle lesbian undertones that are sometimes overlooked.

The Golden Globe nominations were announced Thursday morning with Milk practically shut out, save for a nod to its star Sean Penn for Best Actor, but Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet received plenty of love from the Hollywood Foreign Press with two nominations each.

While most of the world is fixated on the prevailing discussion of whether or not to allow gay marriage to exist (even though variations of it already do for millions of people in committed same-sex relationships around the world), Eat, Pray, Love’s famed author Elizabeth Gilbert releases her follow-up novel Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage to show her support in the best way she knows how – through her own eyes.

Cinephiles, it’s your day - a day in which bets must be paid off, sighs of relief and anger must be given, and speculation must begin on a month long journey towards Oscar Day. Yes, early this morning the official Academy Award nominations were released, and folks, this year’s going to be a doozy with Natalie Portman, Annette Bening as a controllin lesbian mom, Michelle Williams, Jennifer Lawrence, Melissa Leo, Amy Adams and more...

Who doesn’t love a good post-apocalyptic flick, especially one that pits the one-percenters against the rest of us (1927’s Metropolis anyone)? With that said, we are so freaking excited that the Jodie Foster/Matt Damon starrer Elysium is out today! Double Oscar winner – and giver of sublime coming out speeches at the Golden Globes -- Jodie plays the mayor of Elysium, a villainous one-percenter who struts around her gilded space island in pristine white suits and Suze Orman-esque hair.

Long before it became trendy for starlets to lose their on-screen lesbian virginity on The L Word, a handful of mavericks earned their Sapphic stripes a few times over. We asked you to vote for your favorite women who have loved women on screen, and now we present the results of your votes in our SheWired.com Top 10 Women Who Play it Gay!

This weekend, two seemingly polar opposite films were released into theaters: Eat Pray Love and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Eat Pray Love is a breezy romantic chick flick starring Julia Roberts as a lost woman in search of self, but ultimately in search of love. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is an action-packed dude-centric comedy starring Michael Cera as a lost boy in search of love, but ultimately in search of self. While Julia's movie is geared toward 'lizbians' and the gay men who love them, Scott Pilgrim at least has one lesbian-ish character.

In honor of last week’s lesbian kissing quotes courtesy of Glenn Close, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, we’ve compiled a few quotes from actresses who’ve momentarily gone Sapphic on screen. Whether integral to the narrative or just plain gratuitous, here are a few heavy hitters on locking lips with their female colleagues including Penelope Cruz, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, Naomi Watts, Gina Gershon, Natalie Portman, Sandra Bullock and Portia de Rossi.

Most in Hollywood have finally come down from the high they’ve been riding for the past few months. People are complaining the Oscars wasn't gay enough. It’s Hollywood; it doesn’t get gayer than that. Oscar winning producer of The King’s Speech Iain Canning thanked his husband after winning Best Picture; Lisa Cholodenko was nommed for writing lesbian-centric The Kids Are All Right, which garnered Annette Bening a nom for Best Actress. I didn’t see it, but doesn’t Natalie Portman go down on Mila Kunis in Black Swan? Or is it the other way around? I love me the mens, but even the thought of that hot girl on girl gets my blood boiling a little… Lora Hirschberg kissed her wife that night when her name was announced for winning for sound mixing for Inception. Pretty gay right there and that’s what’s on the screen and stage.
