March of the (Gay) Penguins

From the Chicago Tribune:

Roy and Silo, the two famous gay penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo, are no longer a pair. Silo has gone straight.They broke up after six years together.

"Silo found a young female. Her name is Scrappy," Rob Gramzay, the zoo's senior penguin keeper, told me in a phone interview on Tuesday...Roy didn't really find anybody...He hung out with a few birds...He's not in a nesting situation. It's more for camaraderie."

And, while Silo and Scrappy have recently adopted an egg, Roy is widely rumored to be dating Vince Vaughn.
