Quickies: Wednesday, July 6 2011

> Madonnajust went back into the studio to record her next album. She'll be working with Martin Solveig, among other producers. Cross your fingers we're getting another dance album (and not another Hard Candy).

> A new report shows that in states where LGBT marriage is legal, more lesbians and than gay men are tying the knot. (Is anyone really that shocked?)

> Yesterday, California lawmakers passed a historic bill that would make the state require public schools to include the contributions of LGBT people in social studies curriculum. Now it just needs to be signed by the governor.

> Justin Timberlake to launch a talent competition on MySpace?

> Bridesmaids is now the top grossing R-rated female comedy of all time (and rightfully so).
