Cherry Jones Wins Emmy Sans Sarah

Cherry Jones, a favorite lesbian thespian, won an Emmy for playing Madam President on that ridiculous show 24. But Jones, who memorably outed her girlfriend Sarah Paulson when accepting a Tony for Doubt in 2005, made no mention of Paulson this time around. AfterEllen is reporting that the two have broken up but "are still very close," of course. Paulson can be seen in a fairly recent video on YouTube saying that the way she stays grounded in Hollywood is: "I go to a lot of therapy. That's really what I do." Also, I imagine the flops keep her pretty grounded. (Harsh!) But, you know, I actually liked her a lot in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
