Sarah Shahi

Sarah Shahi won our hearts playing the ooh-la-la lesbian Carmen, Shane's left-at-the-altar DJ girlfriend on The L Word. Now she's winning our admiration for her post-L Word acting range: She made us laugh in her cameo as a vapid morning-show host in For Your Consideration, made Tony Soprano nearly see God in The Sopranos, and now makes criminals (and viewers) sweat as no-nonsense cop Dani Reese in the new NBC TV drama Life. The 27-year-old Iranian-Spanish-Texan -- a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader! -- checked in with The Advocate during a recent shooting break.

The Dixie Chicks

Three years ago the country music industry pitched a hissy fit when Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines said, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." The Chicks didn't just get blackballed, they got death threats. Now they're back with a rocking new album of self-penned songs, Taking the Long Way, and a fierce first single, "Not Ready to Make Nice." We spoke to Maines and Robison, and just so you know, we're proud they're from Texas.
