OUT Power 50: Tim Cook, Ellen DeGeneres, Anderson Cooper Named Most Powerful Queer People In America
Apple CEO Tim Cook has dethroned Ellen DeGeneres as the most powerful queer person in America, according to OUT magazine.

Cook and DeGeneres have swapped spots on OUT’s 9th annual Power 50 list, coming in at No. 1 and 2, respectively. The list, which looks at “which LGBT voices have power, how they wield it, and who it affects,” was released April 15 and contains TV personalities, politicians, activists and businesspeople.

Similarly high on the list were Anderson Cooper (No. 5), Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin (No. 7) and “Orange is the New Black” star Laverne Cox, who is the only transgender person to crack the top 10 (coming in at No. 9).

Also making the cut were Andy Cohen, Ellen Page and Dan Savage.

'Orange Is The New Black' Releases Season 3 Clip As Show Gets Renewed For Fourth Season
Wednesday brings “Orange Is the New Black” fans some good news, and some much-debated news. Netflix renewed the comedy-drama for a fourth season, but also released a new clip from the upcoming third season about a character’s fate.

The Season 2 finale of the show left fans with a major cliffhanger: is Vee alive or dead? The conniving inmate was hit by a speeding van in the final moments of the episode, leaving many to think she’s gone for good. (But then again, Netflix’s “House of Cards” teased a character’s fate as well, so maybe she will return?) Some fans are also convinced they saw Vee in the background of the Season 3 trailer.

To make matters more uncertain, a new clip from Season 3 shows Poussey and Crazy Eyes getting into a cafeteria argument when Poussey claims Vee was “smooshed like a bug on a windshield.” Crazy Eyes is super adamant that Vee is coming back for her, though. Sadly there’s no pie throwing, but at least we have a fourth season to look forward to for that.
