Good morning!

Ufc President Dana White praised fighter Liz Carmouche for coming out like she did:

I love what she did. I know I have the big ‘homophobe' persona and people think I'm some homophobe. I'm the furthest thing from it. I think it's ridiculous it's 2013 and the government tells two people they can't marry each other. Who is the government to tell two people who say they love each other they can't be married? It's ridiculous .… I applaud that she came out and that she's the first one. Good for her. I hope more do. It doesn't bother me one bit. Shouldn't bother anyone else either.

Taking a page from our friends at AfterElton.com, who have a weekly entertainment column called "Ask the Flying Monkey," we're introducing a weekly column to answer your entertainment-related questions.

Want to know the status of a particular movie, TV show, or band? Wondering what a certain actress is up to these days? Want to know if someone is openly gay? (We won't out anyone, but we'll let you know what they've said publicly.)

Send your questions to askafterellen@gmail.com — with your first name, city and country — and Karman Kregloe and I will try to hunt down the answers for you (we'll trade off writing this column each week). Not all questions will be answered, and it may take a few weeks to answer some of them, but we'll try to get to as many as we can.

Note: this isn't a personal advice column — please post your dating...
