Nathan Lane wants to end discrimination - and give heterosexuals a pride march.
"The grand marshal of the Straight Pride Parade - don't you think it's gotta be George Bush, in a tank top and cutoffs?" he told me Monday.
Celebrants could "play a little touch football and then go home and have sex with a woman. I think that's saying it loud and proud."
Lane was being honored by the Trevor Project, a national crisis and suicide-prevention help line for gay and questioning youth.
Speaking of questioning - look, there's Jodie Foster! According to a source, the petite actress donated $150,00 to help open a New York call center.
"I was introduced to this charity by my friend, the co-founder, [Oscar-winning producer] Randy Stone, who passed away recently," she told us. "He was a great friend and worked tirelessly to help many young people. I want to do whatever I can to help continue his work."
Youthful spirits
Liquor is about to get a lot more youth friendly!

Butter's Grade-A list
What, you weren't invited to the Most Famous People on the Planet Conference at Butter Monday night?
Shortly after Madonna and Janet Jackson left the Lafayette St. hot spot around midnight, two giant black SUVs arrived and disgorged Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Penelope Cruz and Shakira. (It's like the State of the Union Address: At least one high-ranking celebrity has to be in a secure location in case the place is bombed.)
The foursome rolled into the club arm in arm. Ashton dragged Penelope onto the top of a corner booth to dance to '80s hits, while Demi and Shakira whispered to each other on the dance floor.
Later, Demi and Ashton lip-locked to an Annie Lennox song, while Penelope and Shakira got their groove on with engaged NBA superstar Tony Parker. Watch out, Eva Longoria!
