This is Alexandre Despatie, a diver for the Canadian Olympic team. He won the silver medal in the men’s 3m springboard final on whatever day it was in Beijing when the event actually happened. It aired here Tuesday night. Enjoy.

Thomas Dekker looks damn sexy in this new promo pic for his show, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” which returns for its second season Monday, Sept. 8. A haircut does a body good, I always like to say. The short hair is way better than that nasty ‘do he had before.

I can’t wait for “Sarah Connor” to come back. It was easily the best midseason show last year, and it’s bound to rock the small-screen action again this year. All in all, it looks like Fox has a pretty good lineup for fall, and I’m excited not to have school in the way of my full TV-viewing schedule (yay for graduation!).

Hit the jump for pics of Dekker’s sexy co-stars.

The world’s cutest lesbian couple got married this weekend.

Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi, who have been since 2004 (has it been that long already?!) exchanged vows in front of a small audience of family and friends at their Beverly Hills home Saturday.

Look how cute they are! I just want to run up and hug them. They’re my favorite lezzie couple ever, so I’m very happy for them. Best wishes to the happy ladies.

It’s a good day for lezzies! Who wants to bet that Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson will be next?

Harry Potter fans: You’ll now have to wait EVEN LONGER for the latest HP movie. “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” has been pushed back to a July 17 release instead of its previously scheduled November 21 release, according to the AP today.

They claim the move is because of the success they’ve experienced with previous HP films during summer months and because of the writers’ strike.

I call bullshit. The most profitable Harry Potter flicks have been the ones released during November. I don’t want to wait another fucking year to cry my eyes out during this movie.

I always knew Tyra Banks was fond of making bold political statements (like picking a “fat” girl to win the previous season of “America’s Next Top Model” and, you know, giving away jewel-encrusted jars of Vaseline). But our favorite Oprah-wannabe has really outdone herself this time.

The upcoming season of ANTM, which premieres Sept. 3 on the CW, will feature a transgendered contestant.

That’s right, folks. Isis, pictured to the left there, used to be a man, and now she’s competing against a slew of women to win a modeling contract. She was also an extra in the homeless photo shoot during Cycle 10, so she’s already got a little bit of experience under her belt.

I wonder how all the other girls will react when they learn Isis is a tranny. That’s sure to create some kind of drama. I’m ready for it.

You know, “Full House” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos” just did not give Bob Saget a chance to really shine. The SagMan (as I like to call him) is actually a very funny man, but you’d never guess that based on his resume circa the ’90s.

Thankfully, he’s been making up for all that unfunny wholesomeness in recent years. First, there was his expletive-riddled cameo in “Dumb and Dumberer,” and then his gut-busting, cringe-inducing, vile, incestful rendition of a dirty joke in “The Aristocrats.” (If you haven’t seen either of these, I highly suggest you check them out. They’ll change your life).

Now, as Comedy Central gets ready to roast Saget, he’s filmed this “behind the scenes” clip of him freaking out on the crew of the roast’s promos. My favorite part? When he says that the crew at “Full House” knew how to run a fucking set. Ha! Enjoy!

Be sure to check out “The Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget” on Comedy Central on August 17.

Please excuse me for a moment: I’m about to indulge myself with a trip to BritneyLand.

You see, I’m a little bit excited right now. Last year’s MTV VMAs broadcast to the world what can only be described as the most horrifically failed comeback attempts in history.

But this year, the VMAs arrive just as Britney is staging what could very likely be a wildly successful return to form. And here’s why:

Well, I finally did it.

I’ve been in a reading mood lately, mostly because I haven’t been sleeping a whole lot, so I gave into peer pressure and fangirl squealing, and I purchased the first book in the “Twilight” saga last week. I hate to admit it, but I totally loved it.

In a role that is quite a contrast from Dr. Horrible, Neil Patrick Harris appears on the new season of Sesame Street (the 39th!!!) as the shoe fairy. It’s amazing.

Embedding is disabled on the video, but  check it out. I promise you, it’s worth it.

Some of the male swimmers in the Olympics are wearing skimpier suits. I expected them all to be wearing the full-body suits. I’m all in favor of those guys showing as much skin as possible. Matt, if you need a fix of hot men without Paul Hamm, check out the swimmers. Damn.

In other news, I had some very dirty thoughts involving the things American gymnast Alexander Artemev did on that pommel horse in today’s competition.
