Correction: Tom Colicchio Will NOT Ride on a Bear Float

That sound you hear? That's the collective melancholy groan uttered by all the bears (and those who love them) when chef and big gay icon Tom Colicchio announced that he will not be riding a bear float in the Los Angeles Pride Parade, contrary to what he told the Dallas Voice last week. What will the panoply of bears (Chubby bears, Muscle bears, Polar bears, Leather bears, etc) do now, knowing they don't get to see him in person? Console themselves with Top Chef marathons? Start a "Millions for Tom on the Bear Float" Facebook group?
