When you think about the fight for gay rights, isn't Joe Francis the first name that comes to mind? Yeah, us neither.

But either way, Joe was in D.C. on Sunday for the National Equality March. After all, with titles like "Girls Gone Wild: Girls Who Crave Girls" -- Joe has been supporting the LGBT cause in his own special way for years.

Comedian Paul Rodriguez is still in the hospital with what seems to be a mystery illness.
Paul was rushed to George Washington University Hospital in D.C. on Thursday after complaining of severe abdominal pain. He was placed in ICU, where he remains.
Rodriguez is a leader in the California Latino Water Coalition and was in D.C. to lobby Congress. Mario Santoya, a fellow member of the organization who has been by his bedside, told TMZ a few minutes ago doctors still don't know what is ailing Paul. They're doing tests, he said.
Santoya says they have taken the tubes out of Paul's nose but he's still in bad pain. Doctors will continue to do tests and he's expected to be hospitalized for a few more days, minimum.

Nick Jonas was walking around Washington D.C. yesterday like he was gunning for Obama's job. The only problem: Fans on the street thought he was one of his identically floppy-haired, purity ring-wearing brothers.

Barack Obama wants change -- his top economic advisor just wants a nap.

Lawrence Summers, Director of the White House's National Economic Council, was caught dozing off during a meeting with credit card officials on Thursday.
Looks like someone needs a more stimulating stimulus plan...

Barack Obama on the cover of the new issue of the Washingtonian (left) and the exact same candid pic that TMZ posted in December (right).

The editor-at-large tells TMZ the decision to change Obama's swimsuit from black to red was "purely artistic" because of the background being black.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

How's this for action. Northern Trust -- the bank TMZ exposed this week for throwing a series of lavish parties and concerts in L.A. -- is giving back the $1.6 billion in federal bailout money!
We had our cameras out as the bank hosted fancy dinners for hundreds of clients and employees. We had video of the Sheryl Crow concert it threw after closing down the House of Blues. And then there were concerts by Chicago, as well as Earth, Wind & Fire ... and the Tiffany gift bags for the ladies.
The story triggered a furor in D.C. ... Congressman Barney Frank demanded that Northern Trust repay the money it blew.
Outrageously, the bank didn't even ask for the bailout money in the first place. But now, under pressure, Northern Trust CEO Frederick Waddell sent a letter to members of the House Financial Services Committee, saying his bank will repay the government funds "as quickly as prudently possible."

WTF?! Either Oprah Winfrey is rockin' a sixth toe or that's one mighty corn!

Miss Winfrey attended the Howard U. graduation ceremony in Washington D.C., picking up an honorary Doctorate of Humanities. O, the humanity!
It seems that Oprah has it all; a mega hit show, billions of dollars ... and an extra toe.

Whaaaa? When did Courteney Cox Arquette's husband get hot?

David Arquette was at George Washington U. in D.C. on Monday to promote his film "The Tripper."
The usually nerdy-looking actor looked slick, although his attire was accented with that splash of nuttiness he's known for; this time, a pair of wackadoodle sneakers, but still, he brought some heat to the capital.
