Now I feel old. Whew.

Feist does a bit of remake to suit the younger audience – and I’ve got to admit it’s pretty darn cute. Video below.

Note that Anderson Cooper is #4… though not officially out to the American public.

Out Magazine Gay Power 50

The rankings were determined by scoring each candidate on these criteria: (1) political clout; (2) pop-cultural resonance; (3) individual wealth; and (4) current personal profile.

We rescored the 2007 list based on the events of the past year, moving those folks up or down – or off the list entirely. Lest you think we took our task lightly, the calculus for the seemingly mercurial changes involved some serious debating: e.g., while Ellen’s puppy palaver didn’t even dent her popularity, Rosie’s score dropped significantly when she stepped down as The View’s lightning rod.

Here is the complete list:
