Wanda Sykes

Out Magazine has announced it's Class of 2009, and Adam Lambert is the Breakout Star of the year. We wonder who the other candidates were, since he's really the only openly gay new pop star we can think of.

Wanda Sykes and her wife, Alex, are the proud parents of twins born on April 27th.

They have one son, Lucas Claude, and one daughter, Olivia Lou.

The comedian’s wife, who she married on October 25th, 2008, gave birth to the babies.

Congratulations!

His talk show debuts on TBS in November.

Comedian and actress Wanda Sykes is getting an opportunity many of us only dream of: the chance to mock very important politicians and journalists to their faces in a socially acceptable way.

Sykes, 44, has been invited to emcee the White House Correspondents' Association dinner held every year at the Washington Hilton. The event brings together polticians, including President Obama, members of the press and celebrities once a year.

Emmy award-winning comedian Wanda Sykes surprised a crowd of demonstrators in Las Vegas yesterday by speaking candidly about her sexual orientation and her recent marriage.

The rally, one of many held simultaneously in major cities around the country yesterday, was a protest against the passing of Proposition 8 in California, the ballot initiative which once again banned gay marriage in the state.
