Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series.What's an FBI Special Agent to do after being locked away for 25 years in unearthly purgatory? Episodes three and four of Mark Frost and David Lynch's revived Twin Peaks, which aired on Showtime this past Sunday in a two-hour block (aside from September's two-part finale, it's all single, hour-long episodes from hereon out), follow our besuited, Black Lodge-incarcerated hero Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) as he reintegrates into modern terrestrial society. So this is basically Peaks doing Rectify, just with a sterile death row replaced by an infernal hellscape out of Clive Barker. Or David Lynch, really. What's becoming more and more evident as the new Peaks progresses is that the series is, in large part, a repository for Lynch's subconscious, past and present.

Sacramento Kings star Rajon Rondo swears he's no homophobe -- despite the fact he hurled gay slurs at a gay NBA ref -- saying the whole thing was out of frustration... not out of gay hatred. Rondo was suspended earlier this week after he cussed out NBA referee Bill Kennedy on Dec. 3rd -- calling him a "motherf**king f**got" while storming off the court.  Kennedy has since come out as a gay man...

The NBA has suspended Rajon Rondo for one game after the Sacramento Kings guard launched into a homophobic rant against veteran referee Bill Kennedy, who recently announced he is gay. Rondo also approached Kennedy in a threatening manner and failed to leave the court in a timely manner after being ejected from a Dec. 3 game against his former team, the Boston Celtics. Kennedy came out as gay in a statement sent to Yahoo Sports on Sunday night. He is the second openly gay active NBA official along with Violet Palmer, as well as the third openly gay active official in.

An anecdote to brighten this gloomy morning. Before we get to that, the context. Last evening, BBC1's The One Show ran an item about the 1950s libel action against the Daily Mirror by Liberace (think Elton John crossed with Alan Carr… only camper).

The item was pegged to the release of Stephen Soderbergh's movie, Behind the Candelabra, in which Michael Douglas gives a sterling performance as Liberace. It centres on his affair with a young man.

Throughout his life, Liberace publicly denied he was gay. In Britain at the time, where he was popular enough to enjoy sell-out tours and be mobbed wherever he went, homosexuality was illegal.

For some reason, despite Liberace's popularity, or more likely because of it, the Mirror's acerbic if generally liberal columnist, Cassandra (William Connor), decided in 1956 to take the hatchet to the entertainer's image.

He wrote of Liberace as "…the summit of sex — the pinnacle of masculine,...
