NO BUTTS ABOUT IT: That's the host of Oxygen's Dance Your Ass Off, Marissa Jaret Winokur, doing some field work, or should we say feel work, during the 40th annual Gay Pride Parade in NYC.

And our old pal Barry Diller told attendees of Digital Hollywood’s “Advertising 2.0” conference last week that, well… advertising ain’t gonna carry all the freight: At some point, content owners will start charging for just about everything, and the public will—perhaps reluctantly at first—pay for it if they want to watch, read or listen to their favorite stuff. Meanwhile, cable operators and programmers are trying to figure out authentication, which promises to at least limit much online video content to only those who pay for cable.
