Neil Patrick Harris isn't conjuring up another Academy Awards hosting gig for himself -- so let's all tuck that notion right back into his magical briefcase. The "How I Met Your Mother" star revealed that this year's Oscars gig was a one-time thing, saying that given the amount of work he put in and the feedback he received, he isn't sure it's worth doing again. "I don't know that my family nor my soul could take it," the father of two joked in an interview with the Huffington Post. "It's a beast. It was fun to check off the list, but for the amount of time spent and the understandable opinionated response, I don't know that it's a delightful balance to do every year or even again." The actor, 41, who successfully hosted four Tony Awards ceremonies and two Primetime Emmy Awards, didn't receive the most glowing reviews for his performance in the highly scrutinized gig. The show's ratings were down from the previous year's telecast, which was hosted by Ellen DeGeneres. "I didn't keep up with it obsessively, but it was interesting to see just what people thought landed and didn't," Harris said of the feedback. "It's so difficult for one who's simply watching the show to realize just how much time and concession and compromise and explanation has gone into almost every single thing. Every joke. Wording of joke. Placement of joke. Canceling of joke. Embellishment for just one line. And I'm not saying that to defend everything I said as if it was the absolute best choice, but it's also an award show, and you’re powering through 14 acts filled with 20-plus awards." Before the show, he tweeted that he was "super appreciative" of the writers who were hired to write his material for the Oscars. "If only they could write everything I say always. #proud," he said. After the show, he tweeted: "My iphone shattered the morning of the Oscars. I probably should have read more into that. #harbinger"

For me, it's when a guy's feet splay outward when he stands and/or walks. It just repulses me for some reason. It goes by different names evidently (see link), but "duck walk" seems to fit the best.

February 22, 2015 ● by Dan Avery Put Gaga in Funny Girl! Put Gaga in Gypsy! Put Gaga in Hedwig! Viewers of the 2015 Academy Awards were left speechless by Lady Gaga, whose performance of a medley from The Sound of Music honored the film’s 50th anniversary and had us all choked up. Us and Julie Andrews, who hugged and thanked Gaga for the beautiful performance and introduced the nominees for Best Score. If this angelic performance and her duets album with Tony Bennett is a sign of Gaga’s latest incarnation, we’re all for it.
Lada Gaga Owns Every Damn Thing Singing “Sound Of Music” Medley At The Oscars
Her last album "MDNA" bombed, selling only 1.8 million worldwide, the worst-selling album of her career. They gave the album away with tour tickets and perfume too. The album's three singles all flopped. The first single, a critical disaster, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" got to #10 on the charts thanks to Live Nation paying for airplay. It still only got to #10 even after the Super Bowl promotion, and giving the single away with pre-orders. The next two singles bombed, even in places like the UK, one of her most dedicated markets. "Give Me All Your Luvin'" charted at #37, "Girl Gone Wild," "MDNA"'s second single, charted at #73, and the third and last single "Turn Up The Radio" chart at #175. It didn't even chart in the US. Then there was horrible film "W.E." in 2012, which cost $29 million to make, and only made $868,439 at the box office. Does she understand that she's musically irrelevant now? Should she just stick to performing "Greatest Hits" tours? I'm betting she lives in a bubble with a whole load of Yes Men. Her last tour didn't pull in the same amount of $$$ as the previous one, although it didn't remarkably well. Why? She's still having to sing "Vogue" and "Like A Virgin". Her personal life is a disaster as well - all the plastic surgery, 20-year-old bought and paid for boyfriends, etc. Then she's still in that freaky cult. Oh, let's not forget her taking her tits and showing her ass and vagina at 54, she trying to prove that she's hot and trying to shock people. Do you think she can accept simply being a touring artist, a nostalgia act? That's all she has now. Her directing career, which she was aiming for, is never going to happen. We're seeing and discussing child stars and over-the-hill celebs in crisis non-stop today. I imagine Madonna's going to be added to the list.

Continuing the discussion.
Mo'nique claims that she now knows why the offers didn't start flooding in after her big Oscar win in 2010. The former star of The Parkers, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the title character's abusive, domineering mother in Precious, writes in an essay in the Feb. 27 issue of The Hollywood Reporter that director-producer Lee Daniels clued her in just a few months ago. Noting that an Oscar win "normally does" lead to "more respect, choices, money" in the business, Mo'Nique writes, "But I got a phone call from Lee Daniels...And he said to me, 'Mo'Nique, you've been blackballed.' I said, 'Why?' And he said, 'Because you didn't play the game.'" After steamrolling the competition throughout the 2009-10 awards season, Mo'Nique famously didn't campaign for her Oscar, going on to say in her acceptance speech that she was grateful to the Academy "for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics." "I said, 'Well, what game is that?'" her THR piece continues. "He gave me no response." People who would say that she's "difficult," "tactless" or "tacky" would "probably be right," the actress writes. "That's why I have my beautiful husband because he's so full of tact. I'm just a girl from Baltimore. But being from that place, you learn not to let anybody take advantage of you." Since co-starring in Precious with Gabourey Sidibe, Lenny Kravitz and an unrecognizable Mariah Carey, the 47-year-old actress only has a few credits to her name, none of them major theatrical releases. Mo'Nique also writes that she was offered the role of Forest Whitaker's wife in Lee Daniels' The Butler, a part that ultimately went to Oprah Winfrey; a role in the Daniels-produced Fox hit Empire; and the role of Richard Pryor's grandmother [also now set to be played by Oprah] in the upcoming biopic Daniels is working on—but, she adds, "they all just went away." In response to Mo'Nique, Daniels said in a statement to THR: "Mo'Nique is a creative force to be reckoned with. Her demands through Precious were not always in line with the campaign. This soured her relationship with the Hollywood community. I consider her a friend. I have and will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on, however the consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way with these roles."
Unlike every other person who works for the federal government, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thought she was exempt from establishing and using a government e-mail account to conduct federal business. To make matters worse, her aides failed to preserve any of her e-mails (in violation of federal law), thereby destroying federal records. Nobody--not Rush Limbaugh, Newsmax, or FoxNews--fuels the Clinton conspiracy machine more than Bill and Hillary Clinton. The latter will continue to have her cheerleaders who want her to run in 2016. However, I expect her political career to die a death from 1,000 cuts when all is said and done (with the Clinton Global Initiative rendering the most damage.)

(Bloomberg) -- New York will become the largest U.S. school district to close in observance of the Muslim holy days of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Mayor Bill de Blasio said. The mayor announced the policy Wednesday at a Brooklyn public school where 36 percent of its students were absent the last time Eid al-Adha occurred on an instructional day. The program will begin in the school year that starts in September. “This is about respect for one of the great faiths of this Earth,” said de Blasio, a 53-year-old Democrat. In past years, “either the child went and pursued his education and missed his religious observance or the other way around. That is the kind of choice that was wrong to have to make for these families.” The move fulfilled a promise de Blasio made to the Muslim community during the 2013 campaign that made him the first Democrat to run City Hall in 20 years. Eid al-Adha, which will be observed Sept. 24 this year, commemorates Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son for God. Eid al-Fitr, which will occur in July 2016, marks the end of the holy month of fasting known as Ramadan. Muslim students accounted for 12 percent of the 1.1 million youngsters in the largest U.S. school system, according to a 2008 report prepared for the Coalition for Muslim School Holidays in cooperation with Columbia University Teachers College. Celebrating Diversity Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina, who joined de Blasio for the announcement, said the day off would be used for teacher training and as a “teachable moment” to educate students of all faiths on the meaning of the holidays. “The more we celebrate diversity, the better we are as a city,” Farina said. Brooklyn resident Ahmed Ali, 32, who participates in social and networking groups for Muslims, said he was pleased the city chose a move that helped children. “It’s good for the kids, it’s a good step toward unity,” said Ali, who has two children in public school. “We already have a good relationship with the city, but this is better; it’s an improvement.” New York joins districts in Vermont, Massachusetts and New Jersey that close schools to observe the Muslim holidays, the mayor’s office said in a news release. In the past, the city has closed schools on Jewish holidays including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Passover.

Just you watch..
I have been going to gyms for years. The fat people stay fat; the muscular stay muscular. No one's body actually changes. I only know of two people whom I saw get thinner and more muscular, but it was obvious steroids (or something like that) were involved because it happened pretty quickly.
Thanks to this fucked up, entitled lesbian for giving the Pat Robertson's of this world more ammunition. Can you imagine a gay man saying this shit and getting away with it? I live in the liberal bubble of Park Slope, Brooklyn, where no yuppie would ever admit to wanting their kid to be anything in particular, other than happy. But more often than not, we define happiness as some variation on our own lives, or at least the lives of our expectations. If we went to college, we want our kids to go to college. If we like sports, we want our kids to like sports. If we vote Democrat, of course we want our kids to vote Democrat. I’m gay. And I want my kid to be gay, too. Many of my straight friends, even the most liberal, see this logic as warped. It’s one thing for them to admit that they would prefer their kids to be straight, something they’ll only begrudgingly confess. But wanting my daughter to be a lesbian? I might as well say I want her to grow up to be lactose intolerant. “Don’t you want her to be happy?” one friend asked. Perhaps he just meant that it’s easier to be straight in a homophobic culture. But this attitude complies with, even reinforces, that culture in the first place. A less-charitable interpretation is that he thinks being straight is superior. When I was a teenager, my father cautioned me against marrying a black person. “I’m just trying to protect you,” he said. But it was impossible to know whether he meant to insulate me from the world’s bias or implicitly rationalize his own. The idea that no one would choose to be gay is widely held — even in the gay rights movement. In the early ’90s, partly as a response to the destructive notion that gay people could be changed, activists pressed the idea of sexuality as a fixed, innate state. Scientists even tried to prove that there’s a “gay gene.” These concepts about sexual orientation helped justify the case for legal protections. The idea that folks are “born gay” became not only the theme of a Lady Gaga song, but the implicit rationale for gay rights. “I wouldn’t even choose for myself to be gay,” a friend once told me. It was a sad admission, because she was. Once upon a time, of course, “gay” meant “happy.” But eventually, the synonyms grew apart. Gay became an unfortunate, even pitiable status. When the gay liberation activist Franklin Kameny launched a simple effort in 1968 to proclaim that “gay is good,” it was because, at the time, it very much wasn’t. Until 1973, the American Psychological Association considered homosexuality a form of mental illness. And while gay-positive culture has flourished since, our aspirations haven’t kept pace. It’s more widely acceptable to be gay in America today, but that’s not the same as being desirable. In my house, though, it is. Here you might expect me to say something about how, if my daughter were gay, she would undoubtedly face challenges and hurdles she wouldn’t encounter if she were straight. Maybe. And maybe if I weren’t an upper-middle-class white lesbian living in a liberal city, I’d have such worries. But no matter what, I’d want my child to be herself. If I lived in, say, North Carolina, with an adopted son from Morocco, I’d like to think I would encourage him to be Muslim, if that’s what he chose. I’d do this even though his life would probably be easier if he didn’t. It’s also easier to succeed as a dentist than an artist. But if my daughter wants to be an artist, I’ll encourage her all the way — and work to destroy any barriers along her path, not put them up myself. Plus, I’ve never for a single second regretted being gay, nor saw it as anything other than an asset and a gift. My parents were ridiculously supportive from Day One, and I had a great community of friends and mentors who made me feel unconditionally accepted. By the time my daughter comes of age, she’ll have even more of a support network, including two moms, for crying out loud."
Texas guitarist and singer Bobby Fuller had barely found his way into the national limelight in 1966, with his group’s soon-to-be-classic reworking of a song first recorded by Buddy Holly's band the Crickets, when he died mysteriously of asphyxiation in Los Angeles. He was 23. It has remained one of rock’s strangest deaths — Fuller’s body was found in a parked car, apparently beaten and doused in gasoline — one that’s explored in a new book that takes its title from his biggest hit, “I Fought The Law: The Life and Strange Death of Bobby Fuller” (Kicks Books, $19.95). The book is a collaboration between Fuller’s brother and bandmate, Randy Fuller, and Miriam Linna, the indie rock drummer who also has been running Brooklyn-based Norton Records with her husband Billy Miller for nearly 30 years. The death was ruled a suicide, but Randy Fuller and many people who knew Bobby never bought that story. There have been numerous theories over the years, some involving the mob, but few agree with the suicide idea. This story leaves out some important information like where was the crime scene and who was the last person seen him alive. In the book, Fuller and Linna point out a coincidence that may be a contributing factor to the case: Longtime L.A. police Chief William H. Parker died of a heart attack two nights before Fuller’s body was found July 18, 1966, and in the hectic transitional period that followed, the investigation of Fuller’s death wasn’t considered a top priority.

Benson and Stabler just toured the massage room that, surprise, surprise, has a hidden camera.

I've been watching episodes on DVD recently. It still holds up well after all these years. And yeah, the show goes off the rails in the last two seasons, but there are still a few gems. Bruce and Cybill were just perfect together, and Allyce Beasley was great as the dizzy DiPesto. I didn't know that the characters were originally modeled after Bill Murray and Jessica Lange. (Halfway through writing the actual pilot script did Glenn Caron realize Cybill was Maddie) Of course, neither Bill or Jessica would have considered a television series at that time. But you can't help imagining how a Moonlighting movie with them would have turned out.
do you ever think he wakes up terrified to be Mick Jagger? The fame, the pressure, the legend, the weird other worldiness of extreme notoriety and karma?
I've heard they have camera tricks to make the dicks look much bigger than in reality. In light of the recent penis measurement report, I took a look at a few scenes. The guys look big but when you look at them in relation to the mouths that are taking them or hands around them, they appear relatively normal. No one's mouth is being stretched by any degree and the hands fit easily all the way around. Take a look. Of course it's porn so there are exceptions, but just take a few random scenes and see what you think.
I'm single for the first time in several years and have been using various hookup apps and websites. I'm getting messaged constantly by 50-plus guys wanting to get fucked. Many of them identify as total bottoms, not versatile. For some reason I find this repulsive. I'm a 36-year-old top and I love to fuck guys my age and younger, and even a few years older. But something about a 50-year-old bottom just makes me go limp. Anyone else or is my dick unusually judgmental?
Is this the shake for lunch and a sensible dinner one? Or is this the points one?
I'm sure I wouldn't know about it if it didn't precede Downton Abbey on Sunday nights, but I've really enjoyed it.
Shades of Snowpiercer. I know global warming gets all the attention, but global cooling would be far worse. We are living in an interglacial era. Every time the world gets closer to our current peak, it quickly plunges into another ice age. These interglacial periods appear to have some correlation with sunspot activity. The latest news on sunspot activity is similar to other cold spells. Although sunspot data only goes back a few hundred years, the "mini-ice age" from 1250-1850 leads to this detail- [quote]…if history is a guide, it is safe to say that weak solar activity for a prolonged period of time can have a negative impact on global temperatures in the troposphere which is the bottom-most layer of Earth’s atmosphere - and where we all live. There have been two notable historical periods with decades-long episodes of low solar activity. The first period is known as the “Maunder Minimum”, named after the solar astronomer Edward Maunder, and it lasted from around 1645 to 1715. The second one is referred to as the “Dalton Minimum”, named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, and it lasted from about 1790 to 1830. Both of these historical periods coincided with below-normal global temperatures in an era now referred to by many as the “Little Ice Age”. In addition, research studies in just the past couple of decades have found a complicated relationship between solar activity, cosmic rays, and clouds on Earth. This research suggests that in times of low solar activity where solar winds are typically weak; more cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere which, in turn, has been found to lead to an increase in certain types of clouds that can act to cool the Earth. Here is the link that got me thinking. Notice how the planet is at the peak temperature. Hundreds of thousands of years of data, all showing that we are on the cusp of a new ice age.
Has anyone been in a "kept" relationship where there is a formal or informal financial arrangement involved? Details please - from the point of view of either the keeper or the keepee.

The last few weeks I have been amazed at how fast and furious this site had become. I would get to the bottom of the page (100 posts) and the timestamp would be 15-20 minutes earlier. Lots of fun stuff, good replies, sublime bitchiness. In the last few days the posts have dropped dramatically. It took 5 hours for 200 replies. I posted from a non-registered device, so no "primetime" issue. It looks like the "ignore" function has killed this site.

I put out about six bowls of cheap dry food mixed with a couple cans of Nine Lives, twice a day. I realized it costs about $100 a month, and I'm not well-off. I feel so bad for them. They just hang around all day waiting for the next meal. I also put water out for them. Why do I do this?

Since Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu arrived in the U.S., President Obama’s approval rating has increased by 5 points in the Gallup poll. From February 26-28, President Obama’s approval rating was 44% in the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll. The president’s disapproval rating was 51%. Once Netanyahu’s arrived in the United States, President Obama’s approval rating jumped to 49%, and his disapproval rating fell to 47%. There were signs that the Republican handling of the Netanyahu invitation was not playing well with many Americans. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday found that by a margin of 48%-30%, registered voters said that John Boehner should have talked to President Obama before inviting Netanyahu. A February 17, CNN poll found overwhelming opposition to the way that Speaker Boehner handled the invitation. Sixty-three percent of respondents felt that it was a bad move for Boehner to invite Netanyahu without giving Obama a head’s up, and only 52% of Republicans supported Boehner not notifying Obama first before inviting Netanyahu. The Netanyahu speech has not worked out the way that Republicans had hoped it would. Speaker Boehner invited Netanyahu as a power play that was designed to get congressional Republicans back on track after a disastrous first few months in the majority. It appears that the speech has done the exact opposite. Instead of making Obama look weak, the Republican behavior has helped to solidify some support behind the president. Bringing in the leader of a foreign country, even one with such broad support as Israel, to attack the President Of The United States doesn’t appear to sit well with many Americans. The intensity of the Republican dislike of this president will always hold down his poll numbers, but the last thing that Republicans expected when they invited Netanyahu to speak is that his presence in the U.S. would boost the president’s popularity. The Netanyahu speech is quickly becoming another Republican attempt to humiliate this president that is blowing up in their faces.
Americans Rally Around The President As Obama Approval Jumps 5 Points Thanks To Netanyahu
Since facts do indeed have a liberal bias, the programming solution was never to prop up a bunch of liberal figureheads. I would have settled for actual news coverage that didn't embrace "the view from nowhere," as media critic Jay Rosen so famously put it. Both sides don't do it, and false equivalence is not journalism. Take a side! Just allow it to be dictated by actual facts, not some hack from a right-wing think tank. Disclose potential conflicts, don't let your news anchors collect fat checks for speaking to groups they're supposed to cover. It's really not as complicated as you think -- unless, of course, the real goal is to push the ownership's corporate agenda: Link: As its afternoon shows hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid are canceled due to poor ratings, MSNBC is reportedly planning to replace Chris Hayes with Rachel Maddow. It was hardly a surprise Thursday when ratings-challenged MSNBC announced the cancellation of the poor-performing afternoon programs hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid after less than a year, with veteran news anchor Thomas Roberts stepping in to preside over the two-hour block from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Until a permanent replacement is named for Roberts’s 5:30 a.m. program Way Too Early, the 6 a.m. Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will temporarily take up the slack by starting a half-hour earlier. But according to knowledgeable sources at the Comcast-owned cable network, Thursday’s moves were only the opening salvo in a wider programming shakeup. In the relatively near term, two well-placed sources predicted to The Daily Beast, Chris Hayes will be relieved of his weak-performing 8 p.m. show All In, to be replaced by the current 9 p.m. host of The Rachel Maddow Show, while a talent search is currently underway to fill the prime-time slot to be vacated by Maddow.An MSNBC spokesperson—who tried put a happy face on the demotions with talk of prime-time specials and “multiplatform” national reporting for the still-employed Farrow and Reid--declined to comment on the Hayes-Maddow scenario. In the longer term, these sources said, the Rev. Al Sharpton—a larger than life personality who attracts a 35 percent African-American audience but continues, after 3½ years of nightly practice, to wrestle with his Teleprompter--could eventually be moved from his weeknight 6 p.m. slot to a weekend time period, as MNSBC President Phil Griffin attempts to reverse significant viewership slides by accentuating straight news over left-leaning opinion. “Everybody in the food chain from top to bottom understands that the Olbermann era is over,” said an MSNBC source, referring to the glory days during George W. Bush’s administration when incendiary liberal Keith Olbermann regularly attracted a million viewers—many of them seeking refuge from White House and Republican talking points.The MSNBC source said, “Going left was a brilliant strategy while it lasted and made hundreds of millions of dollars for Comcast, but now it doesn’t work any more...The goal is to move away from left-wing TV.”

Bills have been filed in three states to prevent transgender people from using bathrooms consistent with their gender identity. The one in Kentucky targets transgender students. The bills in Texas and Florida apply would everywhere. Between all three, there are various provisions for: 1. Civil and criminal penalties transgender people who use a bathroom 2. Fines, criminal and civil liability for school administrators and business owners who let a transgender person use a bathroom different than their birth sex 3. People who report a transgender people in the bathroom to claim civil damages (i.e. collect a bounty) Understandably, this has caused fear and dismay among transgender people around the country. We all have to use the bathroom, but these laws would seemingly force transgender people to choose between fines and jail, risking horrific violence or leaving the state. While this is theoretically possible, it's also extremely unlikely. Here's what you need to know, and what the probable outcomes are: 1. The bills probably won't pass These bills are considered kind of kooky even for conservatives, who'd much rather be talking about tax cuts, "Religious Freedom," repealing "Obamacare," and "getting government out of people's lives." The Florida and Texas bills haven't even been assigned to committees yet, and may never be heard. Beyond this, the legislators who proposed them in Texas and Florida aren't exactly well regarded even within their own party. The Kentucky bill passed in the state senate, but both the house and governor's office are controlled by Democrats. Americans have 99 problems, and transgender people in bathrooms ain't one of them. Republicans who focus on this will open themselves up to a lot of ridicule, while most of the mainstream ones would rather find issues that are better at pulling in both the base and independents. 2. Even if they do pass, it will be a nightmare... for conservatives If by some weird quirk of fate one of these passes, the storm of lawsuits from everyone involved will be a debacle. Non-transgender people who are accidentally targeted by these laws will be suing. So will transgender people, whose lives are at risk. Business owners will be claiming that the government mandate is unenforceable; how are they supposed to spot check someone's DNA? Police departments will have an unfunded mandate for DNA testing, and it will be a huge test of evidence and privacy laws. People trying to claim bounties will be reporting anyone who looks suspicious, or even turn each other in to file civil suits against business owners for quick cash. Transgender men in women's bathrooms will also quickly make it obvious how ridiculous the bills are. The bearded guy who benches 300 lbs in the ladies room isn't exactly what these lawmakers wanted, but will get anyway. If or when a butch cisgender woman gets arrested and forced to undergo DNA testing, the result would be a media firestorm. If they do pass and get put into effect, the chaos that follows will ensure no one repeats the mistake. 3. They probably won't hold up in court The Department of Labor (DOL) recognizes discrimination against transgender people as sex discrimination under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Some of the most recent case law also finds that restricting bathroom access for transgender workers is a form of sex discrimination. Similarly, the Department of Education recognizes transgender people as being covered by the provisions for sex discrimination under Title IX. These are just the challenges that transgender people would mount under Title VII and IX. There will also probably be the equal protection, privacy, disparate impact, sex stereotyping, animus and enforceability challenges these bills would face from transgender people, people who were falsely accused and business owners affected by the laws. Given the number of vulnerabilities and potential challenges to these laws, many people believe they are unlikely to stand up in court. 4. These are last gasp attempts to hurt LGBT people "No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!" - Otter, Animal House Most people, including conservatives, see the writing on the wall for marriage equality. As a result, they are desperately casting about for some ways to hurt LGBT people legislatively. Recent polls show that the window for singling out transgender people is closing, and the results are acts of desperation. Most of these attempts have involved preempting local non-discrimination ordinances with state law, or expansions of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) to allow people, businesses, churches and religiously affiliated organizations to discriminate against LGBT people on the basis of "sincerely held religious beliefs." Whatever those are. These bathroom bills represent a futile and not particularly well-thought-out side show to where the real point of attack is. Their introduction may be simple grandstanding for the base, fear mongering or sincerely held paranoia, but as public accommodations access becomes settled law these bills will have less and less "pull." People whose greatest fears in life include transgender people in bathrooms will increasingly be seen for what they are, and the rest of us will be able to just get on with our lives.
YouTube sensation and hottie Davey Wavey did the unthinkable — he convinced a straight guy to bottom. In this video, Davey hands said straight guy an industrial bottle of lube and a sex toy. After a few moments of pleasure, he reacts to the experience, "You know I would say it feels pretty good because I'm starting to get hard." At the climax of the clip, he adds that he felt pressure on "this weird magical spot in there that you wouldn't expect to feel good." Watch the clip below!

Bob Barker has made a public statement against the moving of two elephants from Seattle to the Oklahoma City Zoo. The decision to move the elephants there was made because the OKC Zoo is ranked as the top 3rd zoo in that nation and has an ideal elephant program that would allow the elephants to be part of an actual herd. However, Bob Barker claims the idea is horrible because Oklahoma has cold winters and suffers tornadoes in the Spring. Bob Barker actually used the word "dreadful" to describe his opinion of the moving of the elephants. Experts have already weighed in and say that Barker is ignorant and that OKC is the best choice for the pair.

Jeremy Meeks' mugshot inspired fundraising efforts and Facebook groups after his piercing eyes and defiant glare sent the Internet into a frenzy last year. But all the viral furor and slack-jawed looks drawn by Meeks' mug did little to change the felon's saga. U.S. District Judge Troy Nunley sentenced the 30-year-old to two years in prison on Thursday, court records show. Meeks was arrested on weapons charges last June when he was stopped by Stockton police after leaving a home where a search warrant was being executed by the FBI and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, according to the San Joaquin County district attorney's office. Police found a semi-automatic handgun and two extended magazines for the weapon before arresting Meeks and 23-year-old Terry Bailey. The district attorney's office accused both men of being members of the Northside Gangster Crips as well. Meeks' case was transferred to federal court in Sacramento last year. He was ordered to be incarcerated at a facility near Stockton, and will also have to complete the Federal Bureau of Prisons Substance Abuse Treatment program, according to court records. Meeks' became an Internet favorite after the Stockton Police Department posted his mugshot on its Facebook page last year. Women sent messages promising to help with his bail, which was set at $1 million, and reports surfaced that he had been offered a modeling contract weeks after his arrest. Meeks broke the hearts of countless Facebook users when he announced that he was married and that his wife was "livid" about all the attention. In various interviews with local television stations, Meeks tried to downplay the gravity of the charges, telling reporters he was not a "hardened criminal." But the June arrest was not Meeks' first brush with law enforcement. He previously served two years in state prison for a grand theft auto conviction in Solano County. He also sports a teardrop tattoo on his cheekbone for “doing some things in his past he is not proud of," he told reporters last year.

The 2015 season officially starts now! What do you ball kids want to see happen this year? Me: 1) Lesbian coaches Martina Navratilova and Amelie Mauresmo lead their respective pupils, Agnieszka Radwanska and Andy Murray, to slam glory. 2) Someone hires Chris Evert as a coach so she can stop commentating. 3) ATP sex tape, gay hooker, or PED scandal.

[quote]The Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion was a television signal hijacking that occurred in Chicago, Illinois, United States on the evening of November 22, 1987. It is an example of what is known in the television business as broadcast signal intrusion. The intruder was successful in interrupting two broadcast television stations within the course of three hours. Neither the hijacker nor any known accomplices have ever been found, caught or identified, which leaves the incident unsolved. Here's the actual footage. Someone on Reddit claims to know their identity.

But she’s kept a low profile recently. In 2010 she appeared in Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls, in 2011 she began her Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour, and then…nothing. She is depriving the world of pure joy by dropping out of the spotlight with her billionaire husband. We need the music! We need the choreography! And most importantly, we need her cleavage back!

Been doing some online reading about meth -- a family member is currently in rehab for meth addiction. Trust me, I have no plans to now or ever try it (meth, sex on meth, or any of it), but I''m struck by the number of references to sex while high.%0D\ %0D\ I know some of you guys have done it, so is it really that much better? Or at least, that much better for a while? Does your body just become focused on the physical sensations, or what? Orgasms more intense? What?
There is so much pity out there for gay men who look, talk and act like gay men, but, very little sympathy for men like myself, who come off as straight. Here's why. Men like me hear all of the insults, because people assume we're straight. For instance, the women sitting at a table at a restaurant next to my table went on and on about gay men must be suffering form a disease of the libido because all they care about is sex. They're incapable of having loving relationships because that requires a woman...blah, blah, blah. It was all I could do to keep myself from making a scene. However, if I came off as obviously gay, I'm sure they would've never carried on a conversation like that.
I'm moving to LA next week and nearly every person I've told has said something to the effect of, "Ugh, LA is so superficial." In my past visits, I've never met the stereotypical LA resident that's depicted on Real Housewives or reality TV (which I assume is where most people get their stereotypes from). Most people seem chill, laid-back, and not anymore focused on appearance than people in San Francisco, which is where I'm moving from. Is this one of those city stereotypes that applies to maybe 10% of the population and gets blown out of proportion due to hearsay? Like how all New Yorkers are supposedly brash and rude?

Over the weekend, a man claiming to be an event coordinator asked me if I would compete in a professionally sanctioned bodybuilding competition which would be contested nude, without posing suits and fully-frontal. I’m dubious and I think the idea is far-fetched. (Would it even be legal?) But, after thinking about it a few days, I’d be willing to do it; the newest posing suits are barely hiding everything anyway. If by chance, this opportunity actually came to pass, would those of you who are competitive bodybuilders consider entering the nude contest? I’d be interested in your response.

This show doesn't get much love on DL. There are some really talented artists on the show and they are always mixing it up a bit. It is always about the competition and really very little drama amongst the competitors ... they actually get along and help each other out. And some of the artists have been pretty cute.

Man burned while praying over 'sizzling' Applebee's fajitas cannot sue, says court Hiram Jimenez sustained burns in 2010 after hearing a loud sizzling noise and proceeded to knock the plate into his lap and injure himself pushing at the table Lauren Gambino; Thursday 5 March 2015 13.18 EST A man who burned himself while bowing his head in prayer over a sizzling skillet of steak fajitas at a New Jersey Applebee’s cannot sue for damages because the danger was “obvious”, a state appellate court ruled on Wednesday. Hiram Jimenez sought to sue Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar and Grill after a 2010 incident at the chain restaurant’s Westampton location, when “he came in contact with a dangerous and hazardous condition, specifically, ‘a plate of hot food’,” according to court records. On 4 March 2010, Jimenez met his brother at the restaurant and ordered a steak fajita skillet. The waitress brought Jimenez the dish, which he described in court records as “real dark”, “smoking, sizzling” and “real hot”. He claimed she told him to “enjoy his meal” without warning him of the dangers that sizzled below. Before diving into the piping hot plate of steak and peppers, Jimenez bowed his head “close to the table” to pray. He then heard a loud, sizzling noise, followed by a “pop noise”, and felt a burning sensation in his left eye and on his face, according to court records. He then described panicking, knocking the burning plate onto his lap, causing his perspective glasses to fall from his face. Finding himself unable to see properly, he said he tried to push the table away with his right arm and brush the burning food off his lap with the other. In the kerfuffle, Jimenez banged his elbow on the table said he soon felt that he had “pulled something in his right arm”. He immediately stopped pushing the table, he said, because he “felt pain”. His brother called for help, and some employees came to assist. A manager eventually provided an incident report to the brothers, on which Jimenez wrote that a “hot dish ... burned me after grease popped causing several burns to face, neck, and arms”. Jimenez sued the chain in state superior court, claiming he suffered serious injury as a result of the restaurant’s negligence. None of the burns left scars, according to court records. The case was dismissed by a lower court that found the danger posed by Jimenez placing his face near a sizzling skillet was “open and obvious”. On Wednesday, five years to the day after the incident, a two-judge appeals panel settled the matter, agreeing with the lower court’s findings. The panel wrote in the ruling that the waitress was not responsible for warning the guest that “the food was sizzling hot and should be approached with due care”. “Here, the danger posed by a plate of sizzling hot food was self-evident.”

She wants to do a comedy tour because now she's a successful comedian. Move over Oscars, hello, American Comedy Awards! [quote]Madonna: Actually, I quite like the idea doing a different kind of tour—and don’t get any ideas because this is not gonna happen right now—where I would sing songs and play guitar and just have maybe one other musician out there with me; it’s just me and a guitar and a good bottle of wine. I could talk in between each song and tell stories, or do some of my stand-up comedy, which I’m actually quite good at. I love it when I see a stand-up comedian have some amazing back-and-forth dealing with a heckler in the audience. I could really have a field day with something like that. I don’t think you understand how funny I am—I mean, maybe not right now, but in general. I do some of my best stand-up comedy during sound checks.

You've heard the evidence before but one can never be too sure – yet another study has shown that adopting a Mediterranean diet is good for your health. Filling up on oily fish, nuts, whole grains and fruit and vegetables – and even the odd glass of red wine – could cut your risk of developing heart disease by almost half over a 10-year period. Scientists at Harokopio University in Athens found that the benefits even outweigh those of regular exercise - and it doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman, old or young. The study, which will be presented at the American College of Cardiology's 64th Annual Scientific Session in San Diego later this month, reinforces previous research. But it is also the first of its kind, in that it tracked heart disease risk in a general population. Most other studies have focused on middle-aged people. Ekavi Georgousopoulou, a PhD candidate, who conducted the study along with Professor Demosthenes B Panagiotakos, said: "Our study shows that the Mediterranean diet is a beneficial intervention for all types of people - in both genders, in all age groups, and in both healthy people and those with health conditions. "It also reveals that the Mediterranean diet has direct benefits for heart health, in addition to its indirect benefits in managing diabetes, hypertension and inflammation."

Anything new with Jonathan? He's been in LA filming Glee then apparently he has no roles until A New Brain at City Center in June. I find him very, very talented as an actor and a singer. That said, I'm not sure if I find him hot or not. He's definitely good looking. No question about that; but I go from "he's hot" to "he's not that hot" on a daily basis. Thoughts? Anything new? Is he hot?

Dataloungers, need your help. Back in the early 1990's, my mom came upon a TV psychic on the old-style satellite dish. You know, the big ugly kind that people had on their roofs or yards that you had to point to the specific satellite that you wanted to watch? Anyways, this woman was named Sylvana or Sylvanna. She was on some public access channel based in NYC. She was based in some skyscraper that had what likely was a porn studio as her neighbor. She did tarot readings and astrology. The public access channel may have been called MetroAccess or something similar. Anyone know anything about her or remember this channel?

Today I shopped in five stores for: filing and stationary, toiletries, vitamins and supplements and a few groceries. Each time, the person who served me became progressively more gay. You expect one, or maybe two shop bottoms as you go about your errands on a major city, but four in one morning? The guy in the department store where I got some toiletries was straight acting until the very end of the transaction, then he instructed me to ''enjoy your products and have a LOVELY day!'' By the time I reached the counter of the health food store the assistant almost set my face ablaze with the force of his flames. i guess he picks up the body builders who drop in for those protein powder things. We are legion, in retail.

I guess I'm late to the party. I'd always heard good things about this show, and I like Elmore Leonard, so this week I sat down and watched the entire first season on Amazon Prime streaming. I must say I enjoyed it. It was not at all what I expected, however. I thought it would be all about catching moonshiners in the woods, but there was hardly anything about that-- and one episode was even set in California. I find it odd that they based it on a short story--did the story just provide the basic characters? It took me a while to figure out the Crowders, since so many of them had similar names: Bo, Bowman, Boyd. I'm ready for Seasons 2, 3, and 4. What am I in for? (No spoilers, please!)

[quote]The brief conversation about George Clooney in the elevator with Poole was the last of many straws. Here was the managing editor of a publication that had just admitted that it had run a made-up story, calling one of the subjects of that phony story a liar. [quote]It seemed beyond shameless, even by DailyMail.com standards. But it was indicative of the general attitude of the Mail's leadership, with publisher Clarke leading the charge: They weren't angry that they had published a fictitious story; they were angry that they had gotten caught. No changes were made to prevent something like that from happening again and the two women whose bylines appeared on the incorrect story—Hannah Roberts and Sara Nathan—are still working with the Mail, Roberts as a freelancer and Nathan as the publication's "U.S. Showbiz Editor."

New thread by request.
We all know this is true. Yes, there's misogynistic gay men, but still, the majority of gays can relate to women more so than to men for some reason. Is it because we grow up gay, and can't really fit in with a society full of straight males, so they look towards the other gender? Is there truth to gay men's brains are more in line with women's? I'm just really curious. It's not bad to somehow have a woman as a role model, but with gay men, it seems overwhelmingly so, more than they can relate to straight men, or men period. Just a sociological question.
I was just reading the thread "being around straight guys terrify me" and the OP of that thread constantly associated being straight with being masculine and being an alpha male; whereas, being gay is about being feminine and shy. To be fair, I did meet one gay guy who was slightly womanly, but the majority of gay men I've met are very manly dominant masculine types. Thoughts?
Sounds like classic homosexual self-hatred. He's cute though.
I'd rather go blind, baby!
So, let us all here in DL decide this thing once, and for all. We welcome your thoughts, opinions, and DEFINITELY your pics! Some background to give some color to our discussion: Outside of Western cultures, men's clothing commonly includes skirts and skirt-like garments; however, in North America and much of Europe, the wearing of a skirt is today usually seen as typical for females and not males, the most notable exceptions being the cassock and the kilt. People have variously attempted to promote the wearing of skirts by men in Western culture and to do away with this gender distinction, albeit with limited general success and considerable cultural resistance.

Nasa finds evidence of a vast ancient ocean on Mars A huge primitive ocean covered one-fifth of the red planet’s surface, making it warm, wet and ideal for alien life to gain a foothold, scientists say Ian Sample, science editor; Thursday 5 March 2015 19.00 GMT A massive ancient ocean once covered nearly half of the northern hemisphere of Mars making the planet a more promising place for alien life to have gained a foothold, Nasa scientists say. The huge body of water spread over a fifth of the planet’s surface, as great a portion as the Atlantic covers the Earth, and was a mile deep in places. In total, the ocean held 20 million cubic kilometres of water, or more than is found in the Arctic Ocean, the researchers found. Unveiled by Nasa on Thursday, the compelling evidence for the primitive ocean adds to an emerging picture of Mars as a warm and wet world in its youth, which trickled with streams, winding river deltas, and long-standing lakes, soon after it formed 4.5bn years ago. The view of the planet’s ancient history radically re-writes what many scientists believed only a decade ago. Back then, flowing water was widely considered to have been a more erratic presence on Mars, gushing forth only rarely, and never forming long-standing seas and oceans. “A major question has been how much water did Mars actually have when it was young and how did it lose that water?” said Michael Mumma, a senior scientist at Nasa Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Writing in the journal, Science, the Nasa team, and others at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Munich, provide an answer after studying Mars with three of the most powerful infra-red telescopes in the world. The scientists used the Keck II telescope and Nasa’s Infrared Telescope Facility, both in Hawaii, and the ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, to make maps of the Martian atmosphere over six years. They looked specifically at how different forms of water molecules in the Martian air varied from place to place over the changing seasons. Martian water, like that on Earth, contains standard water molecules, made from two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and another form of water made with a heavy isotope of hydrogen called deuterium. On Mars, water containing normal hydrogen is lost to space over time, but the heavier form is left behind. When normal water is lost on Mars, the concentration of deuterium in water left behind goes up. The process can be used to infer how much water there used to be on the planet. The higher the concentration of deuterium, the more water has been lost. The infrared maps show that water near the Martian ice caps is enriched with deuterium. The high concentration means that Mars must have lost a vast amount of water in the past, equivalent to more than six times that now locked up in the planet’s frozen ice caps. The scientists calculate that the amount of water was enough to create a global ocean that covered the entire surface of Mars to a depth of 137m. But Mars was probably never completely submerged. Based on the Martian terrain today, the scientists believe the water pooled into a much deeper ocean in the low-lying northern plains, creating an ocean that covered nearly a fifth of the planet’s surface. The Atlantic, by comparison, covers about 17% of Earth’s surface. “Ultimately we can conclude this idea of an ocean covering 20% of the planet which opens the idea of habitability and the evolution of life on the planet,” said Geronimo Villanueva, the first author on the study. The huge body of water lasted for millions of years. But over time, the Martian atmosphere thinned. The drop in pressure meant more ocean water wafted into space. The planet lost much of its insulation too. No longer warm enough to keep the water liquid, the ocean receded and eventually froze. Today, only 13% of the ocean remains, locked up the Martian polar caps. “We now know Mars was wet for a much longer time than we thought before,” said Mumma. Nasa’s Curiosity rover has already shown that Mars had standing water for 1.5 billion years, longer than it took for life to emerge on Earth. “Now we see that Mars must have been wet for a period even longer,” Mumma added. John Bridges, a planetary scientist at Leicester University, who works on Nasa’s Curiosity rover mission, said Mars was surely at least habitable in the distant past. “Ten years ago, the story of water on Mars was an occasional flood of rocky debris every 100m years that then switched off again. We now know it’s more continuous. There were long-standing bodies of water: lakes, deltas and perhaps even seas,” he said. “It seems to me that we have excellent evidence that Mars was once habitable, though whether it was ever inhabited is not clear. But there’s a chance. A life-bearing meteorite might have been ejected from Earth and could have landed in the water on Mars,” he added. The search for life on Mars will ramp up in 2018 when the European Space Agency sends its Exomars rover to the red planet. The rover will look for chemical signatures of life, perhaps emanating from microbes living deep beneath the Martian soil. Last year, Nasa’s Curiosity rover detected methane in the Martian atmosphere. The finding sparked intense speculation that the gas might be coming from living organisms. It might, but there is no evidence to suggest it is. Methane is regularly produced on planets through geological processes without any need for life. Charles Cockell, professor of astrobiology at Edinburgh University, said: “The longer water persists on a planetary body in one location, particularly if there is geological turnover, the more likely it is that it would provide a habitable environment for a suitable duration for life to either originate or proliferate. An ocean would meet this need.” That life was possible does not make it inevitable though. “Of course, it could have been uninhabited,” he added.

He also makes disparaging comments about bottoms as being "too gay", puts down his boyfriend and goes on and on about how great women are.

A California man has paid $200 to file a ballot initiative that, if passed, would mandate for all gay people to die by firing squad, rather than risk god's wrath. A Christian activist would like to see all gay people in California executed by firing squad, just so the rest of the citizenry can avoid having to endure God's "wrath." Matthew McLaughlin last week paid $200 to file a ballot initiative with the Attorney General in Sacramento that proposes his Sodomite Suppression Act become law. McLaughlin calls homosexual sex "buggery," and "sodomy," and labels it "a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha [sic]." He says that it's "better" that non-gay Californians kill the gays rather than have to suffer God's punishment. "Seeing that it is better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath against us for the folly of tolerating-wickedness in our midst, the People of California wisely command, in the fear of God, that any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method." McLaughlin does not state if minors – say, high school students – would be treated as adults and included in the execution mandate. The Sodomite Suppression Act (note it's not the "Sodomy" Suppression Act, a clear indication that it's LGBT people, not just homosexual sex that McLaughlin takes issue with) also calls for a one million dollar fine for each act of transmitting, distributing, or performing "sodomistic propaganda" to minors. And McLaughlin's bill would make it illegal for any gay person to hold public office, be employed by the state, or be granted any benefits, such as welfare, social security, or use any public assets, such as roads. McLaughlin will have to get 365,000 legitimate California residents to sign up to support the Sodomite Suppression Act in order for it to move forward. Wonkette has done its research and says that McLaughlin is likely the same person who in 2004 attempted to get the Bible in curriculum studies in public schools, an effort that would probably have been unconstitutional and cost the state about $200 million.

Christian Activist Files Ballot Measure To Execute All Gay People By 'Bullets To The Head'
There is growing body of evidence that gender identity is hard wired into the brain and not simply a matter of psychology, according to a new Boston University School of Medicine study. Writing in the journal Endocrine Practice, the researchers said that as many as one in 100 people could be living with some form of gender identity disorder -- meaning they may identify their gender differently than the one they were born with. For example, actress Laverne Cox was born a man but identifies as a woman. This makes the case for doctors to use surgery and hormone treatment rather than psychotherapy alone to help their patients come to terms with their gender identity, Dr. Joshua Safer, the lead researcher and a professor at BUSM, said. “The paper was a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence that gender identity is a biological phenomenon," Safer explained. "As such it provides one of the most convincing arguments to date for all medical providers to gain the transgender medicine skills necessary to provide good care for these individuals," he added. Nearly 40 percent of medical students they surveyed said they were uncomfortable caring for transgendered patients, and 5 percent of medical students said that the treatment was not part of conventional medicine. After teaching a course that raised the medical student’s awareness about transgender medical need, the students discomfort dropped by 67 percent. Safer and the other authors of the study said they hope to change the perception of transgendered people within the healthcare system so that they get better treatment. But because the study was small, it does have limitations, the researchers said, and there should be additional investigation to focus on the specific biologic mechanisms for gender identity. The ABC News National health team would also like to raise awareness about gender identity and what it means to be transgendered. We’re holding a tweet chat on the topic March 10 at 1 p.m., ET. Dr. Richard Besser, ABC News chief health and medical correspondent will moderate. We’ll be joined by experts, patients and loved ones to talk about the challenges of being transgendered and what that means for overall health and wellbeing.

Were they as reliable as their reputation made them out to be? If this was 1971-ish, would you be tempted to buy one? I hardly ever even went in one but they sort of appealed to me and I thought they looked good in California, where they were especially popular...but they did seem to make a hell of a noise, as they went along. Could you pick up a cheap old one in good condition and expect it to run & run? I grew up in England where the original Mini was much more popular and there weren't many VW Bugs...also, of course the Hitler association put people off, but didn't seem to in America.

The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. This study examined the relationship between homophobia (defined as self-reported negative affect, avoidance, and aggression toward homosexuals) and homosexual aggression. Self-identified heterosexual college men were assigned to homophobic (n = 26) and nonhomophobic (n = 26) groups on the basis of their scores on the Homophobia Scale (HS; L. W. Wright, H. E. Adams, & J. A. Bernat, 1999). Physical aggression was examined by having participants administer shocks to a fictitious opponent during a competitive reaction time (RT) task under the impression that the study was examining the relationship between sexually explicit material and RT. Participants were exposed to a male homosexual erotic videotape, their affective reactions were assessed, and they then competed in the RT task against either a heterosexual or a homosexual opponent. The homophobic group reported significantly more negative affect, anxiety, and anger-hostility after watching the homosexual erotic videotape than did the nonhomophobic group. Additionally, the homophobic group was significantly more aggressive toward the homosexual opponent, but the groups did not differ in aggression toward the heterosexual opponent. Discuss...

Although I definitely support the tradition of clogging the DL front page with threads about a DL fave who has just died, these are actually serious questions I have: 1. In the '70s, how common was it for middle-class suburban families to have a live-in maid/housekeeper? 2. And for those families that had one, how common was it for her to wear a uniform? Just wondering if, at the time "The Brady Bunch" was on, Alice still seemed like a potentially believable element of the family's life, or if that was already experienced by viewers at the time as a total fantasy.

Final Glee episode pays tribute to Cory Monteith, says Kevin McHale By Harry Fletcher Friday, Feb 20 2015, 12:27pm EST Kevin McHale has spoken about the upcoming Glee finale. The actor revealed that the final episode of the sixth and final series of the Fox show will pay tribute to his former co-star, the late Cory Monteith. Speaking to Access Hollywood, McHale said: "I think [Finn] is always remembered and especially at a time like this at the very end, there will definitely be some sort of mention of him. "He'll be involved in some way." Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room from a mixed drug toxicity on July 13, 2013, drawing tributes from fans and friends the world over. The actor and his character Finn were honored in Glee's season 5 episode 'The Quarterback', which first aired a few months after Monteith's death. McHale – who plays Artie Abrams on the show – also spoke about the series finale of Glee, saying that he was "happy" with it as a conclusion to the series. "I'm satisfied. I was reading it and the last two episodes are airing back-to-back, so it's kinda this double whammy all at the end," he explained. "I think [viewers will] be happy. I was happy. They tie up a lot of great storylines and you get to see these people in a new light and follow their journey. "These characters have gone through a lot, and I think there's a good payoff at the end."

Rebel Heart release date: Friday, March 6. Roundup thus far: The tracks got leaked. Madonna got sucked into Twitter wars about her use of altered photos of black civil rights heroes to flog the album's theme. And the lead single Living For Love has so far failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. She performed it live at the Grammys, to mixed reviews. Last time we did this (MDNA), Madonna did manage to eke out one week at the #1 spot. (Billboard album chart) Can she do it again?

That's the subject of a NYT piece today, one inferring that Uber is just another element of the "New York sanitization" that's been ongoing since the Giuliani years. "It started innocently enough: Rachel Rabbit White, a journalist in her 20s who writes about sex, was hailing a taxi with her boyfriend at the time and a female friend after a Lower East Side party. But “as soon as we got into the cab,” Ms. White said, “it became clear that this was going to be a threesome.” Within moments, the taxi ride turned into Plato’s Retreat on wheels, a montage of hair pulling, collar tugging and bodies writhing in darkness. Far from being an impediment to passion, the unglamorous setting was an enabler. “It was as if being in the space of the cab decided it for us,” Ms. White said. Ah, the strange erotic power of the New York taxi. On the surface, these utilitarian urban people movers that sometimes smell like old gym socks would seem about as sexy as a Yankee Stadium bathroom. But for countless reasons, some New Yorkers long considered the taxi back seat a pay-by-the-hour love shack. But that illicit tradition is under threat of late, as ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft sanitize yet another dark corner of New York night life. Unlike traditional taxis, where anonymity is the rule (and the attraction), these services know exactly who has been naughty or nice in their back seats. Not only do drivers know a passenger’s name and mobile number, but they are also asked to review a passenger’s behavior. These customer reviews, which function like a credit score that is based on conduct rather than financial standing, have put a damper on back-seat shenanigans. Indeed, acting out under those circumstances is a bit like streaking through Grand Central Terminal with a “Hello, My Name Is ______” tag plastered to your chest. With some users feeling motivated to limit their back-seat behavior to job-interview politeness, the raunchy back-seat hookup — immortalized in films like “Dressed to Kill” and shows like “Taxicab Confessions” — suddenly looks like a vestige of a Lost New York, doomed to go the way of peep shows, streetwalkers and Al Goldstein’s “Midnight Blue.” “I wouldn’t have back-seat crazy fests in Uber because, hypothetically, the voyeur driver would have my name, address and a system that lets them rate me,” said Twanna A. Hines, a sex educator in New York and Washington. “Getting naked in an Uber has occurred to me about as often as I’ve considered doing a striptease in public, which is never.” For her, “New York City cabs are one-night stands,” she said. “What happens during the encounter doesn’t really matter because I’ll never see that driver again.” Ms. White echoed that sentiment. “I use Uber a lot, and it’s definitely not sexy because they see your name as soon as you get in,” she said.“It’s this very formal setting, a professional setting, almost. They know you, they’re watching you.” By contrast, “in a New York City cab, it’s not very well kept up, the driver’s on the phone, ignoring you,” Ms. White said. “There’s a feeling you can do whatever you want. Would you rather have sex in a seedy motel room or a really luxe hotel room? Which elicits the hotter affair?” She is hardly alone in that opinion. When it comes to back-seat bacchanalia, everyone, it seems, has a story — some verging on triple-X. After all, it should be noted, there are still more than 13,000 medallion taxis roaming the streets. “There’s something about admitting you need someone else to take the wheel for the night that leads you to relinquishing other vulnerabilities,” said a 28-year-old marketing manager in the tech industry named Suzanne, who asked that her surname not be used because, well, she’s a marketing manager, not an adult-film star."

Not that I want to go traipsing down a red carpet with anyone, but there%E2%80%99s got to be a happy medium. WATCH!: Why not just admit it, get it out there? KALEY: That's the way I would have done it. But certain people didn%E2%80%99t want to do it that way, which I understand. We knew how to keep it deep inside and never bring it on that set, ever. WATCH!: When did you two split up? KALEY: We broke up before the holidays and worked that whole time. We dodged a huge bullet. Dodged a war. But when you're dealing with two professionals who have been working since they were both 4-and who kept their lives extremely private- we didn't want anything other than that. So we're not going to screw it up, and were not going to screw it up for everyone else and make things weird. There was so much at stake, and we both knew that. It was really intense. WATCH!: Sounds like it. Have things been awkward on set? KALEY: Moments were really hard, but we have such a love for each other-and we knew we weren%E2%80%99t destined to be together-that we accepted it and said, "Look, if we ever break up, we will be professional." I'm so lucky it was a mutual ending and that we don't hate each other. We've seen that happen on other shows. WATCH!: Do you still talk? KALEY: At the wrap party he gave me a huge hug and I was like, "I'm really proud of us." And he was like, "I know, me too. We didn't kill each other, or kill other people. We made it."

The bad news just keeps coming for CNN. May was the network's worst month for total viewers during primetime in over 20 years. CNN drew an average of just 389,000 primetime viewers from April 30 to May 27. In comparison, MSNBC drew an average of 674,000 total viewers, while Fox News boasted an average of 1,692,000 total viewers. It was also the network's second-worst month in primetime for viewers in the key demographic since October 1991. Things were especially bad at the 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. timeslots. Piers Morgan drew an average of 417,000 total viewers and 117,000 viewers age 25-54 — the lowest numbers the 9 p.m. slot has seen in two decades. Erin Burnett received just 89,000 viewers in the key demo at 7 p.m. The news is the latest development in CNN's worsening ratings struggle. The network had its lowest-rated month in over a decade in April. That prompted management to issue stern warnings about improving numbers. However, the recent dismal results are not surprising, given that the network hit a 20-year primetime low during the week of May 14.

For me, the old Uncle Charlies on Greenwich holds a special place in my heart. It was the first bar I'd ever set foot in back in '92 when I started grad school at NYU. I was pretty much closeted and had never even kissed a guy, but I remember the exhilirating sense of freedom and liberation (I know...MARY!) that I felt for the first time. Addicted to that feeling, I probably went there more than I should have, but it was such an amazing experience. It's where I met the guy with whom I had my first kiss, first date and first same sex encounter. It seems so long ago, but the memories are still vivid. And it was a time before big muscles and shaving every inch of the body were in vogue. Yes, I sound old. I also remember a place called Pieces that I went to a few times. Not sure that's still around. Anyone else care to share their memories?

Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina has apologized for remarks he made about House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's reaction to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress, saying the comments were "a poor attempt at humor." According to a Bloomberg report, Graham said the following of Pelosi at a private fund-raiser after the address: "Did you see Nancy Pelosi on the [House] floor? Complete disgust. If you can get through all the surgeries, there's disgust." Pelosi appeared to be visibly upset during Netanyahu's address. She later released a statement saying "I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister's speech - saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5 +1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation." Late Tuesday, Graham still called her reaction in the chamber "a bit disturbing," but apologized for his comments. "I made a poor attempt at humor to talk about her reaction and for that I apologize," Graham told NBC News. "[Netanyahu] is not the problem in the mid-east, it's the Iranians, and anyone who wants to focus on the Prime Minister of Israel I think has got their priorities wrong," Graham said.

The premise of the show is clearly meant to be ironic: it's 1995 and a naturalized American of Taiwanese origin is moving his also-naturalized Taiwanese wife and American-born kids from DC to Orlando, where he has been away establishing ownership of an 'American-themed' restaurant. There is a whole 'wink,wink' nod to the stereotype of naturalized Chinese people solely opening Chinese restaurants. I get it. Is there such a thing as an 'American-themed' dry-cleaning store? There mine as well be. The son, from whose perspective I expect the rest of the episodes to come, has an "unpronounceable" Asian name and emphatically tells his new teacher and class-mates to "just call me Eddie". Yeah, ok, so he wants to emphasize that he's an American. Point taken. Eddie is a huge fan of hip-hop and wears a Notorious B.I.G T-shirt and hopes to ingratiate himself with a black kid who he meets in the school cafeteria. The black kid immediately rejects Eddie, stating that he doesn't like other kids and that his best friend is 40-years-old. Are we supposed to laugh at the thought that the black kid's friend is a perv? No kid talks like that. At the same time, Eddie doesn't fit in with the white kids at the next table, who call his mom's home-made lunch "worms" (Come on, even white kids could recognize pasta in 1995). Eddie sadly goes back to the weird black kid's table, whose basic message is, "Well, what do expect from (racist) white kids?" Eddie's emasculated father and his over-bearing mother end up in the principal's office to berate the principal over the blossoming friendship between their son and the 40-year-old-loving black kid who is otherwise undefined. American audiences have not seen a major-network TV series centered on an Asian-American family since the days of Margaret Cho's earnest, yet unsuccessful take on her Korean-American roots in "All-American Girl". "Fresh Off the Boat" should head back out to sea and come back with writers who have better ideas of what it means to be Asian in America.

For years, amateur bodybuilder Mike Hoffman has been tempting fans with NSFW muscle flexing YouTube videos and half-naked pictures on Tumblr. But, the Texas-based Hoffman finally crossed the line into X-rated territory. He showed off the family jewels and then some in a video that went viral on Tumblr. We’d go into detail about what he does, but so long as you’re not at work or in public, we think it’s better if you sample the goods for yourself. We promise, it doesn’t disappoint. And, if you aren’t in a place to enjoy the video just yet, check out some pics of Hoffman wearing slightly more clothing. Since the video went viral, Mike created a video stating "Most of you know me by now. I just want to say I know there are videos going around of me. I wanted to say a few things. I'm not gay. Those videos I can understand making me look that way — and I respect gay people completely — but, I'm not gay. I'm straight."

House Speaker John Boehner's invitation of Israe1i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress on Iran is an unprecedented rebuke of President Barack Obama as he and Congress are preparing for a battle over Iran sanctions, experts told TPM. The move came the day after Obama threatened in his State of the Union address to veto legislation putting new sanctions on Iran. He warned that new sanctions by Congress would disrupt the negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) acknowledged the week before that ending negotiations "is very much an intended consequence" of a new sanctions bill that has been put forward with some Democratic support. Although the US and Israe1 maintain a "special relationship," the discord between the Obama administration and Netanyahu's government has been well documented. Netanyahu welcomed 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in a visit Israe1 in the midst of the campaign. And anonymous Obama administration officials have been quoted calling the Israe1i prime minster "a chickenshit." But even with that context, experts on American-Israe1i relations expressed shock that Boehner had invited Netanyahu to address Congress on Iran next month. One described it as an effort to "humiliate" and "embarrass" Obama as the two sides dig in over Iran. The invitation from the Ohio Republican positions Congress, rather than the White House, as Israe1's ally. "It's unprecedented. It's hitting below the belt. It's taking partisanship to a whole new level," Guy Ziv, a professor at American University who has studied U.S.-Israeli relations, told TPM. "It is a way for them to embarrass and humiliate the Obama administration." It does track, though, with a broader trend of Israe1 becoming an area of partisan divide in a way that it hasn't always been. "My reaction was that 'Wow, Boehner really wanted to bigfoot President Obama's State of the Union address," Matt Duss, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, which advocates for a two-state solution, told TPM. "It's part of a pattern we've seen, taking the Israe1 issue and using it as a partisan wedge." Foreign leaders, including Netanyahu, have addressed joint sessions of Congress before. But the transparently political element of having Netanyahu, who has been a forceful critic at times of the international negotiations with Iran, speak on this specific topic and at this particular time makes the invitation from Boehner distinct from those past examples. "It has a symbolic meaning that is not very positive in the long run," Yoram Peri, who served as senior adviser to former Israe1i Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and is now a professor at the University of Maryland, told TPM, "because we know there is a major difference of opinion between the House and the president." Netanyahu's forays into American politics have a long history; he would sometimes align himself with the Newt Gingrich-led Republican Congress in the 1990s. But the Boehner invite still struck those familiar with the issue as wholly different given its political symbolism. The White House even called it a breach of protocol, according to the Associated Press. "It's moving behind-closed-doors politics into the public arena," Peri said. Or as Ziv put it: "They've taken it to a whole different level." Others, however, argued that while there was certainly a political element to Wednesday's theatrics, it is important to remember that Republicans and the Israe1i government do have substantive policy differences with Obama on the Iranian question -- even if personal acrimony might be adding to these public disputes. "This seems to have become very public and very personal. That kind of nastiness adds an edge to it," Jonathan Rynhold, a politics professor at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv, told TPM. "But it also shouldn't be dismissed as politically maneuvering. There's a very, very serious foreign policy issue at stake. There's a really genuine disagreement." Netanyahu's visit would also come about a month before Israe1i's March 17 elections, and he has received substantial contributions from Americans, as BuzzFeed reported earlier this month. But as TPM's Josh Marshall noted, there is some evidence that his perch as prime minster might be precarious as voters head to the polls. Congress' embrace of Netanyahu therefore allows him to assume the role of international statesman and play to some internal Israe1i skepticism about the Obama administration's stance toward Iran, the Palestinian peace process and other Middle East issues. "The one thing that the opposition can play is, 'Look, you're screwing up relations with the United States.' But if Netanyahu's invited, then that's moot," Rynhold said. "It's a good time, it's a good issue. It works politically because it's founded on what these people actually think." Ziv even suggested that Republicans were rewarding Netanyahu for his tacit support of Romney in 2012. It will undoubtedly play well with a substantial part of the Israe1i electorate. "This will really demonstrate that the other candidates are not as his level," Ziv said. "Who else has close friends in Congress? This shows gravitas."
Boehner's Netanyahu Invite Is An 'Unprecedented' Diss Of Obama
How the Oscar winners do fall. Sorvino is now starring in the upcoming DO YOU BELIEVE, from the creators of last year's GOD'S NOT DEAD, along with such luminaries as Sean Astin (boy, that LOTR franchise did nothing for his career), Ted McGinley, and Lee Majors. Here's the plot description from IMDB: "A dozen different souls-all moving in different directions, all longing for something more. As their lives unexpectedly intersect, they each are about to discover there is power in the Cross of Christ ... even if they don't yet believe it. When a local pastor is shaken to the core by the visible faith of an old street-corner preacher, he is reminded that true belief always requires action. His response ignites a faith-fueled journey that powerfully impacts everyone it touches in ways that only God could orchestrate."

This was touched on in another thread. The Golden Girls were in their 50s. That's what 50 looked like back then. Old-ish, matronly. Compare that to Julianne Moore and Sandra Bullock today.

You know the saying "there's someone for everyone"? Well, it's true. Butch Patrick, 57, who played young Eddie Munster on "The Munsters" TV show in the '60s, is getting married. And not to just anybody. He'll tie the knot with his self-described "biggest fan," with whom he used to correspond when they were kids. News of the impending nuptials sent Web searches on the groom sky high. But not even the surge of interest in all things Butch Patrick (his signature widow's-peak hairdo is particularly popular in the Search box) could match the level of lookups for his betrothed, Donna McCall. Here's the story: When Mr. Patrick starred on "The Munsters," he and Ms. McCall would write back and forth to each other. Donna, it turns out, was a big fan and had a massive crush on the youngest Munster. According to My Fox Philly, years passed and the two fell out of touch. Then, Ms. McCall, now 55, tracked him down on the Internet. The two exchanged phone numbers, talked, and agreed to meet for the first time at "Dracula Con II" in Philadelphia. Next thing you know, they're engaged. Ms. McCall is a former cheerleader with the Philadelphia Eagles, a fact that helped contribute to the booming searches on "donna mccall eagles" and "donna mccall cheerleader." In an article for Philly.com, Mr. Patrick joked that while he does hear from female fans fairly often, not many are cheerleaders. Says the future Mrs. Munster: "My first crush was Butch Patrick. I met him for the first time, but I feel like I've known him forever." McCall accepted Patrick's proposal (of course), and now the two are set to tie the knot. "It's a great love story," says Ms. McCall, a retired pharmacist. "We're very happy together." Congratulations, guys!

I refuse to watch any movie this little turd dropping stars in. I used to like Will Smith but now hate him for foisting his crotch fruit upon the population. I don't know what it is exactly that I find so repulsive about Jaden Smith. Maybe the arrogant smirk he always seems to have. Maybe the blatant and unabashed nepotism. Maybe the fact that he's essentially a beard baby for his father. Whatever it is, I get an immediate and violent reaction whenever I see his face on a commercial. I feel the same way for Shia LaBouef.

The world is abuzz with news that actor Laverne Cox has become the first transgender person to appear on the cover of Time magazine. If I understand the current state of the ever-shifting ethic and rhetoric of transgenderism, that is not quite true: Bradley Manning, whom we are expected now to call Chelsea, beat Cox to the punch by some time. Manning’s announcement of his intention to begin living his life as a woman and to undergo so-called sex-reassignment surgery came after Time’s story, but, given that we are expected to defer to all subjective experience in the matter of gender identity, it could not possibly be the case that Manning is a transgendered person today but was not at the time of the Time cover simply because Time was unaware of the fact, unless the issuance of a press release is now a critical step in the evolutionary process. As I wrote at the time of the Manning announcement, Bradley Manning is not a woman. Neither is Laverne Cox.

I checked my wifi connection on my phone and noticed I was not connected to my home network. Instead I was connected to a new wifi connection called (xfinity wifi). This is odd since I live in a sparsley populated small town. Turns out that Comcast was using my modem, which I rent from them, as a repeater for their public wifi network. So they charge people $9 to rent the modem then use it to boost their network. That is fucked up. They should offer to waive the rental if you agree to be a repeater. I am taking their modem into the office today. They offered to turn it off the repeater, and they did but I am tired of paying rent to them. Check to see if a new network has cropped up if you use comcast.

I get they have to stage it so the fourth wall is broken, but you would think that they would try to match the interior layout as close to the exterior layout picture they show as possible. The placement of the stairs tend to be the worst part. A few shows managed to do a good job of it. Roseanne's first floor was very close to matching its exterior picture, and looked like a realistic lower middle class house to boot.

Does anyone here ever see this guy? He's on in the mornings here in New York, he dresses and acts like a sketchy used car salesman. He seems to think he's adorably funny, constantly snarks and then looks directly into the camera, he dresses like a Jersey mafia boss and does this weird thing where he bares his teeth when trying to smile. If you've seen him, you know what I'm talking about. It's incredibly weird. He also speaks in a rapid-fire way, like an auctioneer. Worst of all, the man can NOT forecast the weather. Every single week, without fail, he'll predict a "glorious weekend" or talk about how we'll have sun and "MAYBE a few clouds" in the coming weekend.. And every weekend he predicts this, we have clouds and rain 24/7. He seems terrified of actually reporting on what the actual weather for the day will be and fills his weather report with a lot of bullshit jokes and graphics but never just a straight weather forecast for the day. We generally suffer him each morning as we're both getting ready for work. And yes, I realize we can change the channel if we want to, but we like WABC's morning news team, with the exception of this horrible weather guy.

The judge accepted the hung decision. This means that the death penalty is off the table for Jodi Arias. She will be either sentenced to life or life without parole on April 13, 2015.

This New York Times letter from the UN Ambassador from Iran outlines all the lies Netanyahu has spouted over the years about nuclear weapons: Netanyahu’s Nuclear Deceptions UNITED NATIONS — In the address on Tuesday to the United States Congress by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, we witnessed a new peak in the long-running hype over Iran’s nuclear energy program. Yet all his predictions about how close Iran was to acquiring a nuclear bomb have proved baseless. Despite that, alarmist rhetoric on the theme has been a staple of Mr. Netanyahu’s career. In an interview with the BBC in 1997, he accused Iran of secretly “building a formidable arsenal of ballistic missiles,” predicting that eventually Manhattan would be within range. In 1996, he stood before Congress and urged other nations to join him to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear capability, stressing that “time is running out.” Earlier, as a member of Parliament, in 1992, he predicted that Iran would be able to produce a nuclear weapon within three to five years. In front of world leaders at the United Nations in September 2012, Mr. Netanyahu escalated his warnings by declaring that Iran could acquire the bomb within a year. It is ironic that in doing so, he apparently disregarded the assessment of his own secret service: A recently revealed document showed that the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, had advised that Iran was “not performing the activity necessary to produce weapons.” The United States intelligence community had reached the same conclusion in its National Intelligence Estimate. Despite extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, no evidence has ever been presented to contradict the clear commitment by Iran’s leaders that they would under no circumstances engage in manufacturing, stockpiling and using nuclear weapons. In 2013, for example, only Japan, which has many more nuclear facilities than Iran, was subject to greater agency scrutiny. Yet, in his speech this week, Mr. Netanyahu claimed the agency had determined that Iran had “a military nuclear program.” This is a gross distortion of the agency’s position. The “possible military dimensions,” which Mr. Netanyahu amplifies on every available occasion, are based not on the agency’s findings but on referrals by other member states with their own political agendas. In one case, in 2012, a former agency director dismissed such a report “because there was no chain of custody for the paper, no clear source, document markings, date of issue or anything else that could establish its authenticity.” Iran has also alerted the agency to many errors in the relevant documents, and our position has been confirmed by independent nonproliferation experts. We will nevertheless continue to work with the agency to resolve this issue — despite our skepticism, which leads us to recall the notorious forged document about Niger’s “yellowcake” uranium that was used to coax the Security Council into authorizing the invasion of Iraq in 2003. As one side of the talks that continue in Geneva, Iran can also bear testimony to the campaign of misinformation by Mr. Netanyahu to mislead the global public about the details of those nuclear negotiations. When the parties were finalizing the interim agreement in 2013, Mr. Netanyahu claimed that it would involve Iran’s receiving $50 billion in sanctions relief; the actual amount was about $7 billion. And as for his prediction that Iran would never abide by the terms of the accord, Iran has dutifully stood by every commitment — as the International Atomic Energy Agency has reported. In our view, Mr. Netanyahu has consistently used these false alarms and outlandish claims both to serve his domestic political maneuvering and to create a smoke screen that relegates the Palestinian question to the margins. We have noted how his rhetoric has intensified in proportion to the international pressure on Israel to stop the settlement activity and end the occupation of the Palestinian territory. There are other great issues at hand in the Middle East. The violent extremism we see in Syria and Iraq is one, and to fight it effectively, we need to ease international tensions. We must all address the problem of the breeding grounds that are delivering fresh recruits to the terrorist cause. Israeli aggression and the occupation of Palestinian territories have always been of major propaganda value for extremist recruitment. During the quarter-century that Mr. Netanyahu and his allies have tried to keep Iran’s nuclear program at the forefront of the global agenda, they increased the number of illegal settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to more than 750,000 from about 300,000. At the same time, Palestinians have continued to be evicted from their homes and land. This historic wrong, coupled with the blockade of Gaza, is the real ticking bomb in the Middle East. The whole world should work to defuse it by rising above petty politics and the lobbying of narrow-minded pressure groups.
What says you? I think she should die because you know that bitch will never be able to be reformed. She'll go to her grave claiming that Travis was a child molester and that she did the world a favor. It would be best to just kill her and let her sort it out in her next life. However, I think she will probably get life w/out parole as too many cowardly sapsuckers are opposed to the death penalty, or should I say opposed to the death penalty when it comes to women.

The "Luke Evans is straight now!" one was just bizarre.

I just finished Sarah Waters' latest novel The Paying Guests. I was initially rather impatient as the first 200 pages were rather slow plot-wise. But her prose and period detail (England 1922) were so wonderful, it kept me going (as well as all the great reviews). But once the plot really kicked in, I couldn't put the book down for the next 300 pages. I had never read her before but now I'm into one of her earliest books, the thriller Fingersmith, and loving it as well. Once again, very authentic period detail (England 1860s) and prose that, to my ear, is very true to Dickens and Trollope. Any other Sarah Waters fans here?

The Associated Press, March 3, 2015 2:25 PM EST -- Oprah Winfrey will close Harpo Studios in Chicago, where she taped "The Oprah Winfrey Show" for more than 20 years, this December, and will transition production for her cable network to a studio in California. Harpo Studios and the Oprah Winfrey Network made the announcement Tuesday. OWN recently moved into a new studio in West Hollywood, California, and work currently done at Harpo Studios in Chicago will now be done there. Winfrey sold the Harpo Studios property in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood to a developer last year for about $32 million. She said in a statement Tuesday that Harpo Studios has been a "blessing" in her life and she's now "looking ahead" to inhabiting her California studio. The city named the street outside Harpo Studios "Oprah Winfrey Way" in 2011.

Yesterday was the premiere of season 10, after 9 criminally overlooked seasons. (At least the show has a strong cult following, I suppose.) Any thoughts? I thought the first episode was okay. I guess I was a little underwhelmed, considering it was the big season premiere, but it definitely had its funny bits. I hope the next few are better. Really, though, I just want to see Charlie Day every week. I have a somewhat inexplicable crush on Charlie Day.

I'm watching an old THE LUCY SHOW episode. In it, Lucy somehow ends up being a show girl in a Danny Thomas musical number. She can't keep up with the pro dancers and keeps bumping into Thomas. Hilarity ensues. It's in color and looks beautiful and Lucy looks great. But I could never really get into the post-I LOVE LUCY shows for one simple reason. There was no payoff to Lucy's shenanigan's because there was no fallout with Ricky. Sure, Mr. Mooney would yell at her, but the stakes were with Ricky. I wonder how the shows were received at the time.

"Look at how she has operated in the past with these types of responsibilities. She was in charge during the Benghazi debacle. If a person reads the Senate Intelligence (Committee) report and the House Foreign Affairs (Committee) report released (last) week, it is damning for Hillary Clinton." "She has a real problem when it comes to Benghazi," says Bachmann. Clinton, she adds, must answer for what happened. In addition, she says, Clinton is "the godmother of Obamacare," trying "behind closed doors" to push through something similar when Bill Clinton was president. "Effectively she would be Obama's third and fourth term in office." That might scare enough people to vote for the Republican nominee. "I think there was a cachet about having an African-American president because of guilt." (Presumably she means because of slavery and the lengthy denial of civil rights to blacks.) "People don't hold guilt for a woman," she says, adding that while people vote for women for virtually every other office "I don't think there is a pent-up desire" for a woman president. She says while Obama was "new and different," Hillary Clinton has been around a long time and is less likely to stir the juices as Obama did.

Carly Fiorina - What Leadership Is Taking a swipe at Hillary Clinton, Carly Fiorina asks “Mrs. Clinton, name an accomplishment?" “Like Mrs. Clinton, I too have traveled the globe. Unlike Mrs. Clinton, I know that flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.” Asked about Clinton’s recent use of the phrase “unlocking potential,” Fiorina -- whose Super PAC is titled the “Unlocking Potential Project” -- suggested this isn’t the first time Clinton may have copied her. “Her book cover was remarkably similar to mine, as well,” she said. “Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but I could steal one of her lines and ask, ‘What difference does it make?’”

(Posting for broke ass Datalounger ;)) *** I met this great guy a couple of weeks ago at a party. We went out once already. We've talked on the phone a lot. I can see myself falling for this guy. What's bothering me is he has pictures all over his Facebook page of him and his hag looking like they're a couple. People comment on how great they look together and what a cute couple they are. He doesn't correct them and say they're just friends. He says the people who make those comments are just old acquaintences and co-workers and he wasn't out to them. He doesn't mention anywhere on his page that he's gay. Is this a red flag?
With the first Saturn return, a person leaves youth behind and enters adulthood. With the second return, maturity. And with the third and usually final return, a person enters wise old age. These periods are estimated to occur at roughly the ages of 28-31, 56-60 and 84-90. A fourth return occurs for only a few people, at age 114-118. I am in the first stage right now. People keep telling me that the growing pains are caused by saturn returns. Is this true for anyone here? Is it the planets or just a natural progression?

Young Republicans know the GOP has an Old White Man problem. It starts with plain math. Despite America's quickly growing minority population, 89 percent of Republicans are white. The party stumbles through clunky attempts to reach young voters via social media. And the mainstream GOP is at odds even with the few millennials it has managed to snag. A 2014 Pew Research Center survey found that millennials identifying as Republican or Republican-leaning often expressed more liberal values than older conservatives. For example, 64 percent of conservative millennials agree that homosexuality should be accepted by society, whereas only 45 percent of their baby-boomer counterparts agreed. Still, half of all millennials don’t affiliate with either major political party. The good news for Republicans is, that leaves plenty of potential hearts and minds to win. Chasing that hope, and cognizant that millennials will outnumber boomers by the next election, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) hosted a new series of sessions and lectures this year—many of them in a TED Talk-like format—that revolved around activism, social media, and reaching younger voters. This “Activism Bootcamp” featured a number of younger speakers touted as conservative “millennial spokespersons.” Despite impressive credentials and an obvious drive to reach their peers, are these whippersnapper conservatives enough to ensure the GOP lasts past 2016? "Faux-intellectuals are the dingbats pontificating about gender privilege." “I think many millennials are just turned off with politics in general,” said Aubrey Blankenship of American Majority, a nonprofit organization that supports conservative activists and candidates. “However, they are turned on by many other good things, like social causes.” Blankenship said once conservatives show millennials how the party can work for them, millennials might realize that their views are actually more conservative than they think. “That same sentiment [for social causes] is a political sentiment, but millennials don’t see that,” she said. Ron Meyer Jr., president of Springboard Media Strategies, agreed that Republicans need to do more for young voters. He offered Obama’s free community college plan as an example of how Democrats make practical appeals to an indebted generation. “We don’t combat those sort of policies with ideas of our own,” he said. However one millennial rep, Caleb Boham, editor-in-chief of Campus Reform and creator of The Caleb Bonham Show, said through emails that he thought connecting with millennials is more about overcoming false media stereotypes to better appeal to the millennial generation. “We are charitable (even more than liberals), loving, an overall happy group of people who just want the government to remain faithful to its proper role and not push us around,” he said.

Joe Biden To Headline HRC's Spring Equality Convention By On Top Magazine Staff; Published: March 03, 2015 Vice President Joe Biden will address the nation's largest LGBT rights group this week. Biden will headline the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) annual Spring Equality Convention on Friday in Washington, D.C. “Vice President Biden is an incredible ally to the LGBT community and a strong advocate for fairness and equality for all people,” HRC President Chad Griffin said in a blog post. “He has played an integral role in the administration's unprecedented legacy of progress for the LGBT community and continues to be an important voice internationally for equality. We are honored he'll be joining us to speak at our Spring Equality Convention.” Biden announced his support for marriage equality in 2012, ahead of President Barack Obama. Within days, Obama announced that he had “evolved” on the issue and now supports same-sex marriage. The HRC Spring Equality Convention consists of training, workshops and a lobby day.
Dean Winters' amazing journey back from death Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the day Dean Winters died. In a harrowing story he's never told before, the actor from "Oz," "Rescue Me" and "30 Rock" collapsed with a bacterial infection on his way to Lenox Hill Hospital when his heart stopped beating for 2½ minutes. Winters had awakened the day before with a bad fever, and had gone back to sleep instead of seeking help. When he awoke on June 19, 2009, "I was the color gray," Winters, looking remarkably fit, told Page Six over lunch the other day. "I was afraid to go to St. Vincent's, so I went to my doctor's office on Central Park West, where I collapsed. I was turning black, and my whole head was swelling up." As the ambulance raced across the park, "I died on Fifth Avenue," Winters said. The paramedics were able to bring him back, and he spent three weeks in the ICU. After a month of recuperation at his TriBeCa apartment, Winters developed gangrene. Doctors amputated two toes and half a thumb. In the past year, he spent 95 days in hospitals and had 10 operations, including skin grafts and one in which a forearm muscle was used to rebuild his right hand. Winters had starred in the pilot for "Happy Town" right before his near-death. When ABC picked up the show, Stephen Weber was given his role. "People in Los Angeles think I'm dead," Winters laughed. Tina Fey put him to work as soon as he was able. "For the ['30 Rock'] season finale, I had casts on both arms, and another on my foot, which was kept off-camera. And she literally had me propped up on a stool." [bold]In the comeback of the century, Winters landed the Allstate Insurance campaign launching today, replacing ads that featured Dennis Haysbert. In his highest-paying role ever, Winters plays destructive Mr. Mayhem.[/bold] Winters, who has a new appreciation of life, said, "I feel like I'm a member of a very exclusive club -- with a very tight door policy. It's gonna take more than a finger and a couple of toes to keep me down."
Dean Winters almost died, but the saddest part of the story...
I'm moving soon and I found a new affordable apt complex right across the street from my condo. The salesgirl said the apts were not built to condo specifications, so I might hear noise. Do you all have any experience with this? I'm not sure what she meant. She said I could live on the 3rd floor and hear less noise, but I don't know if all those stairs are worth it. I'm in overhyped Austin, btw.

I was almost tempted to put "Breaking" since I love this woman so. It's the first project she's done for them in 30 years. I can't wait to see what she comes up with.

I'm not really surprised though since Britain has been begging for her to return. I wonder if we'll ever get a crossover with her into a show by Jennifer Saunders or Dawn French, a mini-Girls on Top reunion. Tracey was part of Dawn's comedy series, "Girls Who Do Comedy" a number of years ago. She's also still close to Ruby Wax. Anyway, welcome back, Trace! I'm betting we see Kay again.

A majority of Republicans nationally support establishing Christianity as the national religion, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday. The poll by the Democratic-leaning firm found that 57 percent of Republicans "support establishing Christianity as the national religion" while 30 percent are opposed. Another 13 percent said they were not sure. It almost goes without saying that the Establishment Clause of the Constitution prohibits establishing of a national religion. The poll was conducted among 316 Republicans from Feb. 20-22. The margin of error was plus or minus 5.5 percentage points.

No extreme fetishes. Not bi or "gay for pay". True gay. Good education & well-traveled for the small % desiring companionship aside from sex. Low standards. Will sleep with anyone - and can be genuinely into it w/o acting. And, I have a lot of ED pills to facilitate that if necessary. So, hourly - how much? And, what kind of volume do you think I'd get in a big city (think NYC, LA, Chicago).

This is one of Anthony Recker's teammates: Sandy Alderson invited Billy Bean, MLB’s ambassador of inclusion, to Mets camp Tuesday, during which Bean told his story of how he hid his homosexuality during his eight-year, big-league career. “I disagree with his lifestyle,” Daniel Murphy later told reporter Mike Vorkunov (NJ.com, Mar. 3). “I do disagree with the fact that Billy is a homosexual. That doesn’t mean I can’t still invest in him and get to know him. I don’t think the fact that someone is a homosexual should completely shut the door on investing in them in a relational aspect. … That’s the way I would describe it for me. It’s the same way that there are aspects of my life that I’m trying to surrender to Christ in my own life. There’s a great deal of many things, like my pride. I just think that as a believer trying to articulate it in a way that says just because I disagree with the lifestyle doesn’t mean I’m just never going to speak to Billy Bean every time he walks through the door. That’s not love. That’s not love at all.” Bean announced he was gay in 1999, four years after retiring from MLB. “I’m not here to change anybody or tell them that they’re wrong,” Bean told reporters earlier today. “This is our country. We’re allowed to be who and what we want. I think the important thing is understanding the big picture — that if you are a player on the Mets or in a big-league uniform, there’s a huge responsibility that goes with that. And I think they can understand that regardless of what their personal opinion is of me. I can’t be everybody’s best friend.”

For me, thinking about the guy I like who really doesn't think of me at all. I'm nothing more than some guy to him who he neither likes nor dislikes-nothing more than a bystander. Caring about what other people think of me, be it good or bad, since I can't control what others think and plus people change on a daily basis.
Is there anything that works? What have you tried? I'm curious about trying a penis pump. I'm not painfully small, just average, but I wouldn't mind a little more than I've got, length or girth.
Derick Dillard sure won't be winning over the cat-loving community with this one... On Sunday, the 19 Kids and Counting star, whose wife Jill Duggar is expecting the couple's first child, Instagrammed a video showing him "sledding with friends and family at the Duggar home." The clip shows the 25-year-old dad-to-be be getting a push down the hill from brother-in-law Ben Seewald. Innocent enough, right? Unfortunately, there's an orange cat sitting right in the path of Derick's sled. Although he calls out, "Move, cat," he chuckles as Ben's push sends him downhill directly towards the animal. As varying Duggar family members cheer and laugh, Derick collides with the cat, who bounces off his sled and slides down the hill. The animal didn't appear to be hurt by the impact, but needless to say, the incident didn't set well with many 19 Kids and Counting fans. "Not sure why you thought it would be funny to hit a cat and then post it on Instagram," wrote one commenter. "How is this even funny?" asked another Instagram user. "I would think you would have some respect for all God's creatures. What a shame."

Funny show! But really all I think about when watching it is how I wanna fuck Paul W. Downs.
I want to go to St. Petersburg, Russia, but I'm a little afraid. As a tourist. I don't have anyone to go with, so I'd be on my own. My friends have no money. I have no interest in hooking up there. I just want to see the art, architecture, history via the a & a, culture, such as it is. I've been to London, Paris, Berlin, elsewhere alone, but worry I'll be in a place where there is no English spoken. Suggestions? Aside from "Grow a pair". How long is enough?

Opening up for the first time about their nuptials. Aww, they still together.

The superstar has spoken about how she dabbled with drugs and would let her kids try them Madonna has admitted she would let her children try drugs “in moderation”. She confessed that she dabbled with various substances in her younger days but insisted she had not enjoyed the experiences. During the revealing interview for ITV, show host Jonathan Ross said: “Let me ask you about a set of lyrics – in Devil Pray you talk about drugs... ‘we can get high, we can get stoned, we can do Es, we can do acid’. “It’s a comprehensive list. You have tried, I’d have thought, many of them.” Madonna, 56, nodded but said: “I am not a big fan of drugs. They just don’t suit me. “The handful of times I have tried drugs, many many many many years ago, I just didn’t enjoy it. I wanted it out of me. I started guzzling bottles of water thinking that was going to end it.” Jonathan then asked: “How do you talk to your children about that? Because every parent has to have the conversation in some shape or form.” Referring to her 18-year-old girl Lourdes, Madonna said: “I just ask my daughter to make wise decisions and to do things in moderation and to try not to mix her alcohol. “I am not going to say ‘no, don’t do it’ because that is just absurd. And it is not fair. Yeah, I did it.” Jonathan said: “Most young people I know are not into the dangerous drugs, they seem to like marijuana.” Madonna replied: “Yeah, it’s legal.” But Jonathan advised the US star that it is not legal in Britain. The Queen of Pop also talked about her love life, saying she was single and “the right man would not be intimidated by me”. She even spoke with fondness about past partners including British film director Guy Ritchie, 46, her husband for eight years until 2008. And she said it was only bad timing that stopped her from having a longer relationship with actor Warren Beatty, who is 21 years her senior. Madonna said: “There’s a perfect example of timing, because he was ready and I wasn’t quite ready.” She also spoke with great pride about her four children – Lourdes, 14-year-old Rocco, and their younger siblings David and Mercy. Madonna, who hit the headlines this week after falling off stage when she performed at the Brits, said “all of my children are talented”.
Madonna admits she would LET her children try drugs - star says it would have to be in moderation
What a weird film. Joan Bennett murders her sister's lover after he casts sis aside and she commits suicide. She escapes on a boat, dyes her hair dark and falls in love with the guy chasing her. They escape to an island of natives off the Indian coast. What makes this weird is the heavy handed use of background screens. Not just driving scenes or on the boat, but when they arrive to the island even the natives are from a totally different film. They all appear tiny and looking out into different directions as opposed to focusing on the love birds looking for a place to stay. Robert Osborne introduced this film and said that Bennett had always played the blond ingenue but once she dyed her hair black for this film she was labeled a seductress and her career flourished...she was never blond again.

Believe it or not, people with this affliction, at their very core, are the inverse of the narcissist. People with BPD start out 'too sensitive', too empathetic. People with borderline personality disorder empathize to the point of pain. When the highly sensitive person grows up in a very non-validating and/or abusive environment, with a history of trauma, BPD can manifest. In order for borderline personality to develop, an invalidating environment with and a highly sensitive person MUST BE present. What is going on in a Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer's mind and how they are acting can be two entirely different things. To the sufferer, BPD is about deep feelings, feelings often too difficult to express, feelings that are something along the lines of this : If others really get to know me, they will find me rejectable and will not be able to love me; and they will leave me; I need to have complete control of my feelings otherwise things go completely wrong; I have to adapt my needs to other people's wishes, otherwise they will leave me or attack me; I am an evil person and I need to be punished for it; Other people are evil and abuse you; If someone fails to keep a promise, that person can no longer be trusted; If I trust someone, I run a great risk of getting hurt or disappointed; If you comply with someone's request, you run the risk of losing yourself; If you refuse someone's request, you run the risk of losing that person; I will always be alone; I can't manage by myself, I need someone I can fall back on; There is no one who really cares about me, who will be available to help me, and whom I can fall back on; I don't really know what I want; I will never get what I want; I'm powerless and vulnerable and I can't protect myself;. I have no control of myself; I can't discipline myself; My feelings and opinions are unfounded; Other people are not willing or helpful. To the family members, BPD behavior is often very frustrating can feel unfair and punitive - something like this: You have been viewed as overly good and then overly bad; You have been the focus of unprovoked anger or hurtful actions, alternating with periods when the family member acts perfectly normal and very loving; Things that you have said or done have been twisted and used against you; You are accused of things you never did or said? You often find yourself defending and justifying your intentions; You find yourself concealing what you think or feel because you are not heard; You feel manipulated, controlled, and sometimes lied to.

Last night I went to a screening of Billy Wilder's classic "Sunset Blvd" at The Magnolia Theatre in Dallas; of course, it's a great treat to see a classic movie on the big screen, but so is the possibility to see it with an audience, as the energy in the room can have a profound impact on one's response to the film. In this case, I'd seen "Sunset Blvd" on television a couple of times, where I appreciated it as a tragic noir melodrama; this time, however, surrounded by other film fans, we found ourselves laughing throughout the film. I know the film is considered black comedy, but I hadn't realize how really funny the film is until this. Indeed, many of us were surprised at our laughter and were wondering if the movie was intended to be funny, that audiences in 1950 would've appreciated the film as a comedy, or if we're projecting our modern camp sensibilities on the film. What say you, oh wise denizens of DL?
Just got this email... After 15 years as NYBN, I am changing the name of the group to the PRIVATE PARTY in an attempt to re-group ,re-vamp and improve both the concept and the events. Almost a victim of its own success NYBN has grown far too large and well known with 2500 people on the mailing list. Each month I am fielding over 75 new inquiries which is more than I can reasonably screen by phone, let alone interview properly. I am hoping to steer PRIVATE PARTY back to the original concept of NYBN -- an exclusive, safe-sex, but very social event for handsome, intelligent, professional men in a completely drug-free atmosphere. There will be some changes which will center around reducing the mailing list significantly, making the screening and interview process tighter and more thorough (with no more than 12 exemplary if not extraordinary new members each month) and keeping the parties to a size that can maximize everyone's enjoyment on a social and sexual level. I will spend several months editing the current membership roster and compiling the new mailing list. I certainly hope that you will want to be part of PRIVATE PARTY. If so, Please let me know by E-mailing PRIVATE.PARTY@MSN.COM ,if you have a face pic that would be great (but not necessay)since I do not know everyone by their E tags.
Because some of us like it!
John Schlafly asked if he supports his mother''s signature issue of the week -- a constitutional ban on gay marriage -- he stops for a moment to collect his thoughts.\ \ "I think the traditional definition of marriage has served our society well, and it shouldn''t be changed," says John Schlafly, choosing his words slowly. "That was the law in every state, and still is except for certain court decisions. I don''t see why there''s anything wrong with it."\ \ "It doesn''t prevent gays from living their personal lives any way they choose," he said quietly, "Gays have all the same civil and political rights as everyone else. The rights guaranteed by our Constitution."
Fashion Police co-host Giuliana Rancic has had one of the most difficult weeks of her career thanks to comments she made about Zendaya Coleman‘s hair. Rancic apologized, and Coleman accepted, but RadarOnline.com has learned that the after-effects seem to be lingering for Rancic. Says a source close to the situation, “Everyone is really worried for Giuliana.” “It is a very awkward time because E! knows that Giuliana has damaged her reputation,” the source tells Radar exclusively. As Radar reported, Rancic, 40, got a full serving of backlash early this week after the Fashion Police co-host said “I feel that she smells like patchouli oil… or weed” when describing the 18-year-old’s Oscar night dreadlocks. PHOTOS: Insincere Apology? Giuliana Rancic Has ‘Underlying Anger’ Over Zendaya Drama, Says Body Language Expert Not only did the comment offend Coleman, and Rancic’s co-host Kelly Osbourne, who both tweeted a series of messages directed at Rancic, but it also offended fans of the young singer and of the show, who saw the comments as being racist. Even though Rancic was quick to offer two apologies – the first on her Twitter and the second on-air during the E! News telecast – the insider tells Radar, “It is going to be hard to keep Giuliana’s fan base alive … countless people were offended by her remarks.” Adding to the pressure, Rancic’s apparent weight loss has been drawing criticism for months, as fans and viewers have expressed their fears for the fragile-framed host on social media. PHOTOS: Celebrity Racist Rants According to the source, “If there was ever a time that she would go and get help for whatever is going on with her health — if there is something — the time would be now. But people don’t say anything to her and only say it behind her back. It is the pink elephant in every room she walks in.” “E! has gotten a ton of emails and calls asking them to pull her off the air, at least for the time being,” the insider adds. “No one knows what is going to happen next, but something’s got to give.”
Daniel Murphy of the New York Mets has sparked controversy after saying he would accept a gay teammate even though he disagrees with the "lifestyle." Murphy, who is the Mets' second baseman, was commenting on Billy Bean, a former major league player who came out as gay after retiring, who visited the team during a spring training session in Florida. “I disagree with the lifestyle,” the player, who is a devout Christian, told the Daily News. “But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love a teammate who is gay. I was glad he was here today and to hear his story.” "I completely understand why someone who believes it is not a choice, that you’re born with it, would take issue with my beliefs, that it is a lifestyle," he added. "I feel like acceptance, embracing — that falls short. You understand what I’m saying? I love this person. The same way I love my wife, even though I don’t always agree with everything she does, I love her." He further explained his remarks in a second interview with NJ.com, saying that while he even though he "disagrees with the fact that Billy is a homosexual," that "doesn't mean I can't still invest in him and get to know him." "I don't think the fact that someone is a homosexual should completely shut the door on investing in them in a relational aspect," he said, adding that "you can still accept them but I do disagree with the lifestyle, 100 percent." Former Detroit Tigers right fielder Torii Hunter made similar headlines in 2012 after claiming an openly gay teammate would make him "uncomfortable" in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. "For me, as a Christian…I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right," Hunter, who is currently with the Minnesota Twins, said at the time. "It will be difficult and uncomfortable." He later apologized for the remarks, saying that his feelings had "been misrepresented." "If you know me you know that I am not anti-anything and to be portrayed as anti-gay in this article is hurtful and just not true," he noted. Meanwhile, Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander felt differently, saying he absolutely wouldn't mind an openly gay teammate in a CNN interview. "What your sexual orientation is, I don’t see how that affects the ultimate goal of our family," he said.
One longtime personal assistant's story of her time working for a Hollywood household name, as told to Jennifer Vineyard. She’d said I would be working on her production side, and I thought, Perfect, I'll be doing personal-assistant work, production work; I might even be working on her films. This is exactly what I want to do. She gave me the first book she wanted to option, and I was like, This is awesome. I want to be a part of this. Because I thought this was going to be a production job. So I stayed on, thinking it would happen, and it never happened. That was the first of many straws of that broke the camel's back. I broke up with a very prominent actor boyfriend of hers. She said, "Oh, we're done making a movie together; it's not really going to work; I'm sort of seeing somebody else. Could you just tell him to back off and leave me alone?" And she said this over the phone, over Christmas. She told me, "Accept the date on my behalf. Take the date. Go instead of me." So, that's what I did. You would think sending a text is the worst — no. Sending your assistant to break up with him is the worst. He had no idea it was coming, either, which was sad. Because when I was talking to him on the phone before, he was like, "Great! She said yes! Tell her I'll see her here; I'll order us her favorite wine," and I was just like, "Okay!" Ugh. I felt horrible for him. I was like, "You do not deserve this." That breakup was two weeks into the job. That was my initiation — Oh my God, this is what I'm doing? Before I lived with her, I would leave at four in the morning to get to her house. I would get there at five in the morning to go over the daily routine with her, get her tea, her food, all her vitamins. And once I lived at her house, I would start at five in the morning and go down to Starbucks and get her coffee and put it beside her bed. Go downstairs and make her tea. Start up her computer and get the schedule of what was happening that day, print it out. Go through emails for her and check to see what was coming in. Grab a couple of newspapers and check the book reviews, because then I would have to go to Barnes and Noble to get the books for her, whether or not she would actually read them. Most of them she did not read. Or she would read the first four or five chapters and then give the book away. I'd turn on the TV and figure out what was going on. By 7 a.m., she'd want to know everything that had happened in the news, what she should be aware of around the world. I was very well informed at that point. If she was up for a job, I'd go through the script with her. She was shooting a lot, and on those days, I would have to be her alarm, and wake her up at 4 a.m. And then later in the day I would drive her child and the babysitter to the set to visit her, and I would have to be around, in case the kid threw a fit, to take them back. You don't get that time to do your own stuff if you're living at the house. And I never had privacy whatsoever. To escape, I would have to physically leave her house at certain times. I took a lot of weekend trips. Sometimes the nanny would let me stay over at her apartment — I would drive around the corner and hide my car and hang out at the nanny's apartment on weekends, just to sleep. And I would leave the house and just go drink a lot. I would go down the street from her place and walk to a couple of the bars. The bar owners knew me, and they understood, because she would pick me up sometimes — they would be like, "Trust me, I know what you have to go home to. These next few rounds are on us." I would drink, and then go back and feed her, and then go to sleep in the office. That lasted several months, until I was like, This is making me into a drunk. I'm not happy with who I am becoming. Even my sister later told me, "I wanted to slap you, because you didn't have a life. You weren't you. You weren't happy. You had the fake Hollywood smile." Once I got called in as an emergency because she said, "I need to see my therapist." So I had to leave my family and drive over and pick her up,

Yes, it's been done many other ways before, but here is a nice, easy to read, color-coded chart of countries and average penis sizes by inches:
Long story short, I have a bipolar neighbor in my apt building who is driving me and the rest of the tenants up the wall. Over the past 3 years, the pattern seems to be that things are quiet for a while and then she goes through screaming and crying spells that are very loud and stressful to hear. Even the tenants in the apt building next to ours have complained and called the police. She told our landlord she is embarrassed and that she is bipolar. She wanted to write a letter to the tenants which she gave to him but at the last minute she told him not to distribute it. She seems either 'on' or 'off'. A few weeks will go by where it's very peaceful and then there are weeks where she is constantly crying, yelling loudly, slamming doors and causing a ruckus. Us tenants come out into the hallways during the really loud episodes that she has and we all stare at each other but we're too afraid to confront her to tell her to shut up. if it gets really bad someone calls the police. Long story short, There are 8 units in my building and I have lived in here for over 10 years. It was a great, peaceful environment. Then this bipolar tenant, a woman who looked to be in her late 20s, moved in a few years ago(fall 09) and it's been disruptive off and on ever since. The police have come out at least every other month, particularly when she gets in knockdown verbal screaming matches with her boyfriend. (He is not a tenant but stays over regularly). They have both been arrested or taken away for 5150/72 hour supervision in a psych ward a few times over the past few years. He scares us more than she does when he goes into rages. A few weeks ago he was screaming at her and tried to break down the front door to our bldg until the police arrested him. Now he's back and I heard them screaming this morning. Our landlord is tearing his hair out. He got an atty and tried to evict her but she fought back and said that under the Fair Housing Act you can't evict someone with a disability (her bipolar condition being a disability). We have had some tenants leave because of her. I don't want to move because the rent is really reasonable in a great neighborhood and it's close to my work. I looked for other options in this neighborhood but couldn't find anything affordable. (My building is cheaper because it's older and seen better days but the location is great). My landlord said if one of us tenants would testify in court against her that's our best chance to evict her. We are all too scared to do it. (Yea, I know) I wrote a letter to my landlord with extensive dates of incidences where the police had to come over but he says it's not enough. He has police records of their visits out here as well but says we need someone to testify to evict her. Again, no one wants to go to court as they are too scared in case we lose. So we are stuck with this woman who yells, slams doors, screams in our common hallway that we are 'bad people' for calling the police, etc. She is also paranoid and says we broke her mailbox (there's nothing wrong with it) and other random things. She has no concept of how her ongoing episodes are ruining the quality of life for people not only in this building but in the one next door as well. We are all waiting for the day when she or her boyfriend end up shooting or beating each other up, their arguments are escalating. I realize this sounds like some bad drama queen journaling but I'm sick of it. She just had another episode this afternoon and the police came out again to investigate. This time she was not taken away but was given another warning. I don't know if she voluntarily goes off her meds or if her meds aren't working but I'm just burnt out on being sucked into the yelling, screaming, etc. Sorry for the long novel. I'm just hoping someone will offer some insight or maybe just tell me to pull up my socks and move. But I don't want to be pushed out of a place I love because of this woman. Are there any attys out there who have insight on how to work around the Fair Housing Act?

Recently watched an interview she gave to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Wonderful woman, and she's not afraid to look her age. (She looks good). But I get the sense that she's not interested in acting anymore. She's not fond of most current television. She would rather advocate for mental health. But there has to be one real good role out there for her, preferably in a motion picture. Something to give her a second Oscar.
It happens several times a day. I've searched online in all the stupid forums, but cannot figure out how to make it stop asking (anyone who knows, I'm begging - please post it). I don't want to use it. I have no use for it. I've turned it off, but it still keeps asking me. Android and Google are no better. I'm also looking at you Windows 8 Metro. I hate that these companies are demanding we use their stuff they way they want, not the way most convenient for us. And, don't get me started on the fact that iTunes has a known bug which shows non-existent duplicates of podcasts on your device. Thank you. That is all.
We know she dumped Barry Dennen and Bob Schulenberg, the men who created her image. I don't get the impression she and Elliott Gould are close anymore. And God knows she and Lainie Kazan don't get together to talk about the FUNNY GIRL days. Does she have anyone who she can get together and reminisce about her New York years with, or has she completely cut off that part of her life?
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—House Speaker John Boehner has scheduled a joint session of Congress in April to hear an address by Kevin Laggett, a man who is on record as having hated President Obama in high school. Boehner, who personally extended the invitation to Laggett, said that he did not consult with the President before contacting his high-school nemesis. “This has nothing to do with the President,” Boehner said. “Many of us in Congress are very interested in what Mr. Laggett has to say.” According to a source who attended high school with both men, Laggett’s antipathy for the President began when Obama was chosen over him for the post of sports editor on the school newspaper. “Kevin has totally despised him ever since,” the source said. Reached in Honolulu, where he works as an assistant manager at Applebee’s, Laggett said that his speech to Congress would steer clear of personal issues between him and Obama. “I’m going to leave that stuff at the door,” he said. “I’m just going to talk about the job he’s doing as President, which he’s screwing up pretty bad, in my opinion.” At the White House, the President responded testily when asked if he intended to watch Laggett’s speech. “Kevin is a tool,” he said.

Rick Wiles, host of the radio show “End Times,” believes that while President Obama may not be the Antichrist foretold in the Bible, he’s definitely the latest human incarnation of Satan in a man’s body. His evidence for such a claim comes in the form of two news items: Obama’s filing of a legal brief opposing California’s Proposition 8, and a scheduled visit to Israel this spring. Specifically, Wiles believes that Obama’s desire and work to “change laws” is evidence of a Satanic presence. Wiles emphasizes Daniel 7:25 by saying: “‘He shall persecute the saints of the most high and shall intend to change times and law.’ Now that’s what I want you to focus on. ‘He shall persecute the saints of the most high and shall intend to change times and law.’” Then, after discussing Proposition 8 and Obama’s intent in filing the brief, he says,“So brace yourself, Mr. Obama may declare this week that homosexual marriage is a constitutional right. Is he the Antichrist who changes times and law? Only time will tell.” The religious right has a history of saying that gay marriage will be the undoing of civilization. The dean of Liberty University’s school of law insisted earlier this year that allowing gay marriage will open the floodgates to destroying freedom of speech and religion, families, and traditional marriage, and will ultimately lead to revolution. And former Pope Benedict XVI called out gay people for denying their God-given sexual identities, and warned that gay marriage (along with euthanasia and abortion) threatened world peace. But Wiles takes it further, using Obama’s legal brief against Prop. 8 as a segue into discussing the possibility of Obama cementing his position as Antichrist by walking into the Temple Mount area and proclaiming himself God. It appears that, to Wiles, it’s a little too convenient that Obama would urge the Supreme Court to declare gay marriage a constitutional right and then visit Jerusalem, and says, “I think it will be interesting to see if he enters Jerusalem on the same day Jesus entered the city prior to Passover. “Now here’s a crazy thought, I’m not suggesting that it’s going to happen; I’m just saying it’s kind of a crazy thought. Suppose that Mr. Obama enters the Temple and declares himself as God. Now, I don’t even want to go there today, I think it is too early for that happen, but this is starting to get a little spooky, isn’t it?” While he couches his comments in “supposedly” and “I’m not saying,” it’s pretty clear what he is saying. However, it’s extremely unlikely that Obama would do something so offensively crass. Part of the issue with the religious right, particularly those on the extreme right, is a certain inflexibility and fear of change. Given that times have changed quite a bit, not only through the making and changing of laws, but also through scientific and technological advances, one has to wonder just how many of the innovators of these changes have been considered an Antichrist. Times and laws change whether we like it or not. Obama is not the first U.S. president to be suspected of being Antichrist. Fundamentalist Christians tend to suspect any leader who is unusually influential and charismatic. Presumably, the first U.S. president thought to be Antichrist was FDR, both for his influential abilities and his desire to form the United Nations. One of the things that Antichrist is supposed to do is create a one-world government, with himself as the head. Many evangelical Christians at the time believed that, if FDR wasn’t Antichrist, he was definitely under Antichrist’s influence. JFK was also thought to be Antichrist when he was running for president, and Gregory Stuart Gordon thought that Reagan was Antichrist. It seems that the fundamentalists look hardest at a person’s charisma, as Antichrist is supposed to be extremely charismatic and uses that charisma to influence the world to follow him.

What happened to him? This wasn;t just someone who put on a little weight as he got older the way most people do; this is someone who went from having a defined sixpack and a very muscular body in BYE BYE BIRDIE to someone who just a few years later (for CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG) had a giant pot belly, which he''s retained ever since.\ \ Did he become really depressed? What explains the dramatic change in his looks?

I'm in the middle of a roommate nightmare situation and thought who better to turn to than DL. I should start by saying that I made mistakes that I take full responsibility for, but feel free to point them out any. I've been living in this apartment in Midtown for almost five years now and had three different roommates prior to this one. The first roommate and I were both on the lease (2 bedroom), and when he left the landlord decided it was better to just have my name alone on the lease and I could have whomever I saw fit in the other room; as long as the rent got paid he didn't care. My third roommate told me in December he found an opportunity and needed to move out, by jan 1 if possible, even though the rent is due on the 15th of the month. His rent is $1200/month plus there was a $1000 security deposit. He paid the rent on dec 15, but said if we found someone on jan 1 he could get $600 back for half the month and be even. I did find someone on dec 25 from craigslist. He had to move suddenly from his apartment and seemed like a good guy. We met and talked and got along well. He was up front that he didn't have the full $1600 he would need to move in, but he would have the $1000 deposit on the first and then agreed to pay back the $600 half month to my old roommate over time. He would then pay the first full $1200 on jan 15. Well jan 1 comes and instead of $1000 he only has $500. This was cause for concern, and yes I should have slammed the door in his face at that point, but he said he would have the other $500 when a check cleared by the 5th. The 5th came and no $500. The 15th came and he didn't have the $1200 first month rent. I was nervous, but he said he was waiting on a check. On the 20th he did give me $1000. He said he would make up the other $200 on February's rent. Meanwhile he hadn't worked off any of the $1100 he still owed my old roommate. By February 1 my old roommate was tired of waiting and I paid him the $1100 out of my pocket just to remove him from the situation. The new roommate told him he would be late with the February rent, but on the 19th he would give me $1400 (rent plus the $200 from jan) and on march 15 he would pay both halves of the rent to make up for the $1100 I covered earlier. Well surprise surprise the 19th came and he gave me $300 instead of $1400!! There were more excuses about checks not clearing and whatnot, but who cares? You can either pay the rent or you can't. After waiting 8 days for the check to clear I turned in the rent late and paid the whole thing myself. I could go through this again on March 15 so I could him on 2/23 I would be looking for a new roommate and he needed to start looking to move out. I ended up finding a new roommate that could move in on 3/6. The current roommate and I have had several heated discussions and he claims he's going to move out this weekend, but that I was also being extremely unreasonable in kicking him out. What if he tries to not leave this weekend as he has promised? What are my options? I don't want him to jeopardize the good new roommate I found.

‘Mommy blogger’ slowly poisoned son to death to drive up blog traffic, cops say The Raw Story / by David Ferguson A 26-year-old “mommy blogger” was arrested Tuesday and charged with murdering her 5-year-old son by poisoning him with salt. According to the Washington Post, blogger Lacey Spears wove an intricate web of lies about herself and her son on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, and may have killed the boy to satisfy her need for attention and the support of strangers. The Scottsville, Kentucky woman was indicted in White Plains, New York on second-degree charges of depraved murder and manslaughter in the Jan. 23 death of Garnett Paul Spears. Lacey Spears appeared in court on Tuesday, said ABC News, sitting with her head down as her attorney entered a not guilty plea. The Post said that Garnett Spears’ life was short and fraught with illness. His medical records show persistent ear infections, unexplained fevers, seizures and digestive ailments. His mother detailed the boy’s health struggles on social media and fabricated an elaborate backstory regarding his paternity. Garnett, she said, was the son of a police officer named Blake who was killed in a tragic car accident. The Daily Mail claimed that the boy’s father was actually a garage door installer named Chris Hill who lives in Georgia. In January, the boy was admitted to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, New York, when doctors noted that his sodium levels were shooting up in a way that was “metabolically impossible” for his body to do on its own. Assistant District Attorney Doreen Lloyd said in court on Tuesday that Lacey Spears would wait for hospital personnel to leave, then inject high doses of sodium into the Garnett’s gastric feeding tube. “This mother was intentionally feeding her son salt in toxic levels,” said Lloyd. “This defendant researched, planned and executed her crime against her own son in a wanton and depraved manner.” Less than a week after his hospitalization, Garnett Spears died of acute sodium poisoning. Hospital personnel found him unconscious with dilated pupils and no sign of brain activity. A neighbor told police that Lacey Spears contacted her from the hospital on the day of the boy’s death. Lacey reportedly asked for help disposing of a fluid bag of the type used with the child’s feeding tube. Police tested the bag and found that it contained high amounts of salt. If convicted in the boy’s death, Lacey Spears could face a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

Young Gay Love Blossoms On “The Fosters” With The Youngest Same-Sex Kiss In TV History
from towleroad Minnesota Police have released more photos of the man wanted in the murder earlier this month of his ex-boyfriend and former business associate. Lyle "Ty" Hoffman is the prime suspect in the killing of Kelly Phillips (right), an LGBT Minnesota activist and executive. Kelly-phillips-from-facebookSee the Minnesota Department of Public Safety website for more information and new photos of Hoffman. Meanwhile, thanks to many of Phillips' friends, the reward money offered by Crime Stoppers of Minnesota has increased to $10,000. One of those friends has pleaded for help in locating Hoffman: “The appeal I would make would be to the broader public. People don’t disappear in thin air, this execution happened at 8:40 in the morning along a busy interstate at a busy location. The car has been recovered, somebody knows something,” Tober said. “Our appeal is for people to be active, to be aware and to help.” Hoffman's sister has also asked for her brother to turn himself into police custody. Her message to him via an interview with FOX-9: "Turn yourself in. I can't imagine what Kelly's parents are going through -- family, friends. Please come forward. We're here to support you through it. We love you. We're family." According to the Star Tribune, Hoffman may be using apps to hide out. "...he may be relying on social media to find shelter while on the run. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office released a 'wanted' poster Thursday that says 44-year-old Lyle 'Ty' Hoffman could be evading capture by using Craigslist and dating apps such as Grindr and Scruff." If you have any information about Hoffman's whereabouts, call 911 or Crime Stoppers of Minnesota's toll free number at 1 (800) 222-8477. local news vid at link

Nineteen-year-old Kyra Kennedy, daughter of RFK, Jr., was somehow not let into a 21+ club this weekend. I mean, can you literally even...no! This is crazy. Page Six reports that Lava at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York—described on its website as a "pulsating danceclub"—wouldn't admit Kyra even though she had her sister's passport. Seriously rude. Apparently, one security guard even asked her to recite the birthday on the passport. Who knows their sister's birthday? Per Page Six: Witnesses said Kyra appeared inebriated when she arrived at the club and was trying to enter an over-21 area using a passport belonging to her 26-year-old half-sister Kick Kennedy. One witness said, "A security guard took Kick's passport from Kyra and asked her to recite her birth date, and she didn't know it. He then caught her trying to look up Kick's birthday on Wikipedia on her phone. The security guard then refused to return the passport, and Kyra started shouting all this stuff, including, 'I am a Kennedy, Google me. If you don't let me in, the governor will be calling.'" I am a Kennedy, Google me. If you don't let me in, the governor will be calling. Amazingly, they didn't even let her in after that. And she had to wait until the next morning to get Kick's passport back, which was probably really stressful. Page Six reports that Kyra and her friends made the most of the weekend by visiting the nearby Syracuse University, where teens are welcome to drink anytime. Looks like they had fun

One of the best shows on television?\ \ When Buffy was great, it was amazing (Becoming 1 and 2 will forever be some of my favorites episodes of tv ever) but it really started to fizzle in Season 4 when they began college. The college setting just didn''t work with the metaphor as well as high school, they lost some strong characters (Angel, Cordelia) to the spin off, and the characters they added just didn''t work for me. Plus, didn''t Joss leave around this time?\ \ And then there was Dawn. Less said of that the better.\ \ Hated seasons, 6 and 7, didn''t like Spuffy or the complete take over of the show by Spike, Buffy started to become a brittle, no fun bitch, Willow got hooked on magic (oy vey), and the nerds, and potentials were stupid. I don''t think the show ended on a high note, but in the end, the bulk of the show was still some of the most moving, ground breaking, original television ever created.\ \ Seasons 1-3 kick ass, the rest are spotty to meh.\ \ What do you think?

Removed from ventilator, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition unchanged: source Thu Feb 19, 2015 3:05pm EST (Reuters) - Doctors have taken Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of late singer Whitney Houston, off the ventilator that has helped her breathe since she was found unresponsive in a bathtub last month, but no decisions have been made to take her off life support, a family source said on Thursday. The source, who declined to be identified, said Brown's overall condition has not changed. Removing the breathing tube was a standard course of practice to avoid infection, the source said. Family members have said Brown, 21, the only child of singers Bobby Brown and Houston, is fighting for her life at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after she was discovered on Jan. 31 face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban home. They have said little about the aspiring singer's treatment or medical prognosis, and Bobby Brown has asked for privacy. Police in Roswell, Georgia, are treating the case as a criminal investigation and have been questioning people about the circumstances leading up to Brown being found in the tub. Brown's famous mother, a six-time Grammy Award winner and actress who battled substance abuse, drowned in a hotel bathtub in Beverly Hills, California, on Feb. 11, 2012. Authorities said cocaine use and heart disease contributed to Houston's death at age 48.

This makes things seems even more distressing if the stepmom planned everything in advance and got help from someone else. ----- Missing Oregon Boy's Parents Ask Mystery Woman to Step Forward By Joan Sedley; Friday July 23, 2010 09:05 AM EDT The parents of missing 7-year-old Kyron Horman are asking a mystery woman to come out and help them find out what happened to their boy. "We have been informed [by law enforcement] that they have identified a person that has been in close communication with [Kyron's stepmom] Terri Moulton Horman since Kyron went missing, and her name is DeDe Spicher," a statement from Desiree Young and Kaine Horman reads. "She has not only been in close communication with Terri but has been providing Terri with support and advice that is not in the best interests of our son." Young and Horman have both pointed the finger at Terri Moulton Horman, Kaine Horman's estranged wife, saying they're certain she is the person responsible for the Oregon boy's disappearance from his elementary school on June 4. RELATED: Kyron Horman's Mom Believes Stepmom Planned His Abduction According to Young and Horman, Spicher may have information about Kyron's whereabouts, but is refusing to cooperate with authorities. The couple go on to beg Spicher to come forward, but also warn her that they might pursue a lawsuit against her. "We as a family cannot understand how anyone can look at Kyron's smiling face, having information and choose not to help bring him home," the statement reads. "Please remember what this is about, it's about bringing a wonderful little boy back to his family." A spokeswoman for the local sheriff's office would not comment on the family's plea, Portland station KATU reports.
Dr. Ben Carson is in hot water yet again for his anti-gay comments. He's just offered an apology and he's making the "liberal press" a promise – will he keep it? Early Wednesday morning CNN aired an interview with Dr. Ben Carson in which the retired pediatric neurosurgeon falsely claimed that prisons prove being gay is "absolutely" a choice. Those comments have been the top story on many news sites today, putting Carson, who is planning a presidential run, in hot water, yet again. CNN's Chris Cuomo brought up the subject of same-sex marriage, and asked Carson if being gay is a choice. "Absolutely," Dr. Carson replied. "Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight -- and when they come out, they're gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question," Carson posited. This afternoon, Carson of course was invited to speak on Sean Hannity's radio show. “It was a 25 minute interview they chopped, and you see what part they emphasized,” Carson told Hannity. “I did learn something very important: For certain networks, never do a pre-taped interview. Always do it live.” If Carson is trying to claim CNN spliced and diced the interview to take his comments out of context, he's mistaken. Besides, in what context could his remarks be viewed as anything but offensive – and just plain wrong? Dr. Carson also made members of the "liberal press" a promise. “I’m not really going to talk about that issue anymore because every time I’m gaining momentum the liberal press says, ‘Let’s talk about gay rights.’ And I’m just not going to fall for that anymore.” Promise? It would make life so much better for people, especially LGBTQ children and teens, to not have to hear homosexuality being compared to pedophilia and bestiality, as Carson did in March of 2013. It would make life so much better for people, especially LGBTQ children and teens, to not have to hear Carson "joke" about anti-gay bakers putting poison in wedding cakes, and then excuse it by accusing those upset of being "immature." Carson late this afternoon also took to Facebook to apologize. "I realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues," Carson writes. "I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended." "I know that we are all made in God's image, which means we are all deserving of respect and dignity," he continues. Carson also goes on to advocate for unequal status and rights for LGBT people. "I support human rights and Constitutional protections for gay people, and I have done so for many years. I support civil unions for gay couples, and I have done so for many years. I support the right of individual states to sanction gay marriage, and I support the right of individual states to deny gay marriage in their respective jurisdictions." In other words, separate but equal. Where have we heard that before?

I've had a flu for a few weeks and life's been a bitch in other ways as well so I'm pretty low in the spirits. I'm lying in front of my tv and was wondering what are the feel good tv shows or films you like to watch when feeling down? I rarely watch them anymore but when I just think of Golden Girls I feel safe. When I was a kid Golden Girls aired on late Sunday nights where I lived and it was always sort of a happy ending to the weekend before going back to school. TBH I feel sad knowing that almost all the girls are gone now so it's a bittersweet feeling thinking about them. I sometimes do still watch GG episodes when I'm feeling down.

I haven't seen this queen in 5 years, but I still hear from my friends that he's talking about me (including today). I've never done anything to him...and actually was "friends" with him for a few years (without a clue he was like this). Up until now, I've never bothered to think much about it or do anything - but now some of the comments are getting disgusting. When my brother died, he said "too bad it wasn't him"...and "why is he even alive anyway - who has use for that?" I'm far from the only person who hates this queen, but at 34 years old (yes - not 14...34) - he can't find something better to do?? I want to pull the horse teeth out of her big flapping mouth with pliers at the moment. We don't live in the same city anymore...but we have dozens of mutual friends/acquaintances. Just curious what you think - since you're all anon cunts on here... in real life, it gets far more on my nerves.

If you’re wondering if people are still giving handjobs, get ready for some peace of mind. Andrew Rannells stopped by Late Night With Seth Meyers Thursday to chat about his role as Hannah’s ex boyfriend/current gay bestie Elijah on HBO’s Girls. The actor who headlined the Broadway revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch last summer shared the challenges he faced when asked to perform his very first onscreen handjob. When he read the script, naturally his first thought was, “Who gives a handjob?” But being a professional actor, Rannells manned up and performed the task. He even learned that his scene partner actor hailed from his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. “He was like, ‘Do you think that the Omaha paper would write about this?'” Rannells said. “Local boys share hand job! I was like, ‘I guess we could try.'” Watch Rannells discuss his hard work below.

01.25.15 Scientology Doc ‘Going Clear’ Claims the Church Split Up Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Alex Gibney’s highly anticipated documentary Going Clear, which premiered at Sundance, makes some shocking claims about Scientology A-lister Tom Cruise. Alex Gibney’s Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief is arguably the most hotly anticipated film premiering at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. HBO Documentary Films, which is releasing the eye-opening documentary on the Church of Scientology later this year, hired a team of 160 lawyers to look over the movie, and the church, despite not having seen it, took out a recent ad in The New York Times accusing Gibney’s film of being “a Rolling Stone/UVA redux.” I just attended the first screening of Going Clear, which is based on the book of the same name by Lawrence Wright, and can report that it is a scathing exposé on Scientology and makes some startling accusations about its most famous member, Tom Cruise. The film alleges that the Church of Scientology used a number of intimidation tactics to force Cruise to split from Nicole Kidman. According to the testimony of Marty Rathbun, formerly the second-highest ranking official in the Church of Scientology who left in 2004, Scientology head David Miscavige was suspicious of Cruise’s second wife, whose father was a renowned psychologist in his native Australia. Scientology is vehemently opposed to psychiatry and psychology, and Rathbun claims that because of Kidman’s father, she was labeled a “Potential Trouble Source” (PTS), defined by the Church of Scientology as “a person who is in some way connected to and being adversely affected by a suppressive person.” Gibney’s film claims that Kidman, who was raised Catholic, convinced Cruise to distance himself from the Church of Scientology between 1992 and 2001, and that during the filming of Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, Cruise wasn’t returning Miscavige’s phone calls, though Miscavige was one of Cruise’s best pals and served as best man in his wedding to Kidman. Cruise’s silence allegedly infuriated Miscavige, who then assigned Rathbun to the A-list couple. “I was to facilitate the breakup with Nicole Kidman,” Rathbun says in the film. Rathbun alleges in the film that the Church of Scientology then waged an aggressive campaign to get Cruise to dump Kidman, including having a private investigator wiretap her phone—at Cruise’s apparent suggestion, according to Rathbun—and sending the tapes to Miscavige. The Church of Scientology also began “auditing” Cruise around the clock, according to the film, aggressively psychoanalyzing him and gathering personal information. The information was then allegedly sent to Miscavige, whom Rathbun claims blasted Cruise for his “perverted” sexual fetishes. Furthermore, Rathbun says the Church of Scientology “re-educated” Cruise’s adopted children with Kidman, Connor and Isabella, into turning against their mother so that Cruise could retain custody. Cruise divorced Kidman in 2001 and following the split became more active in the Church of Scientology, receiving the church’s Freedom Medal of Valor in 2004 and becoming Scientology’s de facto Hollywood spokesman. Going Clear also claims that the Church of Scientology takes great pains to accommodate Cruise, including installing all the audiovisual equipment in his home, purchasing him limousines and airplanes, and once even having its members design a meadow for Cruise and Kidman to run through—an alleged fantasy of Cruise’s. Cruise and Kidman, the film notes in a card before the film’s final credits, both refused to be interviewed for Gibney’s movie.

Alec Baldwin: Brian Williams Exaggerated Iraq Story to Appeal to "Pro-Military" Audience by Hilary Lewis, 3/4/2015 2:45pm PST Alec Baldwin and George Stephanopoulos weighed in on the Brian Williams scandal on Baldwin's WNYC radio show on Tuesday. Baldwin, who spent seven years starring on NBC's 30 Rock, theorized that the suspended anchor exaggerated his experience in Iraq as a way to appeal to NBC Nightly News' "pro-military, conservative" audience. Williams was suspended by NBC News on Tuesday for six months after it emerged that he told a false account about a 2003 incident in Iraq. Although he claimed the Chinook helicopter that he was riding in was hit by enemy fire, it emerged that he was in a helicopter that was an hour behind the one that got hit. "Brian fell even unconsciously victim to something, which was wrapping himself in the flag and in the glory of the military to please his audience," Baldwin said, adding that he thinks the NBC Nightly News viewers are a "very pro-military, conservative crowd." Baldwin, acknowledging that "this is a big swing I'm taking here," went on to argue that he could observe Williams performing when he said that he was in a helicopter that came under fire. "I see his language and I see the way he plays it out, and I try to understand people as an actor, like what they're going through," he said. "And I thought, 'He's trying to communicate to people here. He's trying to tell them something.' " Stephanopoulos, who currently serves as ABC News' chief anchor, declined to speculate about why Williams said something that turned out not to be true, but he did say, "I don't think I would do what he did, in that case." He also wondered how Williams' comments made their way "into the broadcast." "I'm surprised. I didn't quite understand how it got into the broadcast," he said. "You know, we all are surrounded by big teams. And that was a little bit surprising." He added that while he's "not friends" with Williams, he sees him around and likes and respected him. He did point out that Williams' situation is a reminder of how quickly people's fortunes can change. "One of the cautionary tales of the whole Brian Williams episode is: We all make mistakes, and you realize it can go like that," Stephanopoulos said. Listen to Baldwin's full interview with Stephanopoulos below. The discussion about Williams begins around the 32-minute mark.

He vigorously and vocally opposes gay marriage and enacts the usual NMBLA-bestiality-polygyny line in his argument, one sure to send people to their keyboards I'm surprised the DL hasn't latched onto this story. Now, it wouldn't be any surprise if we lambasted him with every hate message we could manage; that's what is expected of the DL. But the Southern Poverty Law Center? They have just added Dr. Carson to the "Extremist Files." He joins such company as such as Louisiana politician David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader, as well as number KKK members, neo-Nazis, white nationalists, Christian identity advocates and skinheads. My question, now that he has this singular distinction, is it okay to call him the N word?
He's going nuts over being Brian Williams.

I'm in charge of the Hospitality Suite for a week at a big corporate event this summer. Money isn't a huge issue, but delicious, interesting food and unique theme|decor is. Fully-stocked bar with all top-shelf liquor, so that's covered. Event will be at a 5-star hotel, with talented catering staff eager to do whatever. Per our contract, I'm allowed to bring in outside items, be it decor or food. Attendees will be upper middle class, mostly college-educated professionals, age range from 25-75ish, about 60% female, about 40% gay males, mixed ethnic diversity...smart, interesting, eclectic group, many of whom are well-traveled and entertain frequently. The bulk of this will occur from 9PM-1AM nightly. I need to nail this, guys...and you're the experts! All suggestions are greatly appreciated, no matter how minor. Best hors d'oeuvres? Most memorable theme? Classiest party-related concept? Favorite dessert? Unique serving ideas? Thanks!
I'm guessing the answer is no! I think she actually started to believe that whole silly "greatest living actress" nonsense herself. Her mannered performances, self-gratifying awards acceptance speeches and that constant smirk on her face are becoming really painful to watch! And I think even her biggest fans can admit that some of her shenanigans (like that Walt Disney/Emma Thompson thing) were really embarassing. Can you imagine someone ripping Margaret Thatcher to shreds before giving her an award for The Iron Lady? Nope, but she can get away with something like this because she's Meryl fucking Streep. I just hope she'd go away, for a couple of years at least, so we can get some rest from her.

Jaw bone discovered in Ethiopia is oldest known human lineage remains Around 400,000 years older than previous discovery of homo lineage, 2.8m-year-old jaw and five teeth was found on rocky slope in Afar region Ian Sample science editor, Wednesday 4 March 2015 13.00 EST A lower jaw bone and five teeth discovered on a hillside in Ethiopia are the oldest remains ever found that belong to the genus Homo, the lineage that ultimately led to modern humans. Fossil hunters spotted the jaw poking out of a rocky slope in the dry and dusty Afar region of the country about 250 miles from Addis Ababa. The US-led research team believes the individual lived about 2.8m years ago, when the now parched landscape was open grassland and shrubs nourished by tree-lined rivers and wetlands. The remains are about 400,000 years older than fossils which had previously held the record as the earliest known specimens on the Homo lineage. The discovery sheds light on a profoundly important but poorly understood period in human evolution that played out between two and three million years ago, when humans began the crucial transformation from ape-like animals into forms that used tools and eventually began to resemble modern humans. “This is the the first inkling we have of that transition to modern behaviour. We were no longer solving problems with our bodies but with our brains,” said Brian Villmoare at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. The new fossil, found at a site called Ledi-Geraru, has a handful of primitive features in common with an ancient forerunner of modern humans called Australopithecus afarensis. The most well-known specimen, the 3m-year-old Lucy, was unearthed in 1974 in Hadar, only 40 miles from the Ledi-Geraru site. But the latest fossil has more modern traits too. Some are seen only on the Homo lineage, such as a shallower chin bone. The picture that emerges from the fossil record is that 3m years ago, the ape-like Australopithecus afarensis died out and was superseded by two very different human forms. One, called Paranthropus, had a small brain, large teeth and strong jaw muscles for chewing its food. The other was the Homo lineage, which found itself with much larger brains, a solution that turned out to be more successful. “By finding this jaw bone we’ve figured out where that trajectory started,” said Villamoare. “This is the first Homo. It marks in all likelihood a major adaptive transition.” What drove Australopithethus to extinction and led to the rise of Homo is a mystery, but researchers suspect a dramatic change in the environment transformed the landscape of eastern Africa. “It could be that there was some sort of ecological shift and humans had to evolve or go extinct,” said Villmoare. Other fossils recovered nearby the new human remains suggest that the region was much wetter than Hadar where Lucy was found. Remnants of antelopes, prehistoric elephants, primitive hippos, crocodiles and fish were all recovered from the Ledi-Geraru site, researchers said. Details of the discoveries are reported in two papers published in Science. The human jaw was discovered in January 2013 by Chalachew Seyoum, an Ethiopian national on the team, and a student at Arizona State University. He was part of a group that had set off from camp that morning to look for fossils on a hill that was later found to be brimming with ancient bones. Villamoare, who was on the expedition, recalled the moment of discovery. “I heard people yelling Brian! Brian! And I went round the corner and there was Chalachew. He recognised it, and said: ‘We’ve got a human.’ It had eroded out of the stratigraphy. It was in two pieces and was missing some of the teeth, but it was clearly of the genus Homo.” The fossil bones are too fragmentary to give them a human species name. The jawbone could belong to Homo habilis, known as “handy man”, the earliest known species on the Homo lineage. But Villamoare is not convinced. It could be a new species that lived before Homo habilis. Other researchers agree. In a separate paper published in Nature, Fred Spoor at University College, London, reports a virtual reconstruction of a Homo habilis skull. “By digitally exploring what Homo habilis really looked like, we could infer the nature of its ancestor, but no such fossils were known,” said Spoor. “Now the Ledi-Geraru jaw has turned up as if on request, suggesting a plausible evolutionary link between Australopithecus afarensis and Homo habilis.” But until more remains are found, the mystery will remain. The US-led team has been back to the site this January to look for more fossils, but Villamoare said he cannot yet talk about what they did or did not find.

I'm the OP of the thread that reported on the male country music star that will be coming out on Entertainment Tonight. I'm happy to report that the DL Super Sleuths solved the mystery within an hour! Here's the breaking story from People Magazine, ahead of the ET story! ***************** Five years ago, country singer Ty Herndon finally recognized that he had a very important story to share. "During an Anthony Robbins seminar, I realized I had an incredible story that could possibly help someone's son or daughter or grandchild's life not be as difficult as mine has been," he tells PEOPLE. "Maybe they wouldn't have to go through as much pain and suffering. It's time to tell my truth." That "truth" is about a part of himself he has kept secret for his entire career: "I'm an out, proud and happy gay man," the Nashville artist revealed to PEOPLE during a sit-down in New York Tuesday. (Herndon appears on Entertainment Tonight Thursday at 7 p.m. ET, his first TV interview about his journey.) The revelation was many years in the making for the 51-year-old singer, who first wondered if he was gay when he was about 10 years old and then began coming out to close family members at 20. "My mother probably knew I was gay before I did. I remember sitting down with her and having the conversation," recalls Herndon, noting his career path in country worried her. But, ultimately, "she was more concerned about me having a happy life. You have to be able to do that in your own skin, and [my family] has seen me struggle with being gay my whole career." [bold]Some Early Snags[/bold] While his professional start was promising (he was earning steady airplay with hit singles including "What Mattered Most," "Living in a Moment" and "It Must Be Love"), the singer hit some snags along the way – including an indecent exposure charge for allegedly exposing himself to a police officer in 1995 (the charge was later dropped in a plea bargain) and subsequent time in rehab for drug addiction. "I have made a lot of mistakes in my life. They've been my mistakes, and I own them," says Herndon, who was married to women twice before coming to terms with his sexuality. (He says both ex-wives knew he was gay.) "I've done a lot of work around forgiveness with people that I've hurt and people I've not been honest with because of my sexuality." Herndon's revelation follows fellow country artist Chely Wright's coming out to PEOPLE in 2010. [bold]Longtime Partner[/bold] Wright, a close friend of his, played a big part in his coming out – as did his longtime partner, Matt. A mutual friend introduced the couple, and they spoke on the phone for six months before meeting. As a one-year anniversary and Christmas present, Matt brought them to that fateful Anthony Robbins seminar in 2009 that reminded him of his own struggle – and his wish to spare others that pain. "I was 10, sitting in church and horrified that I might be a homosexual. Whatever that word meant, I knew that I probably was one," Herndon recalls. "And I know there's a lot of those kids still out there. Telling my story is an opportunity to help just one of them," says Herndon. "They can be loved by God, they can be married one day, they can have a family, they can give their parents grandkids," Herndon adds. "And they're not broken, they're not sinners and they're perfectly beautiful." Both the singer and his partner are practicing Christians, and Herndon says it's taken time to reconcile his faith with his sexuality. But he's getting there. "I sit on the tailgate of my pickup truck, and I meditate, and I talk to God," he says. "That's really all I need to know. I have a connection to something bigger than myself, and no one's going to tell me that I can't have it. We get to choose who we love, and that includes God, and he loves us back." (continued)

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ... By CORINNE RAMEY ... March 2, 2015 8:18 p.m. ET Frank Music Company has supplied classical sheet music to generations of instrumentalists, singers and composers. On Friday, the retail store will close its doors for good, succumbing to dwindling sales. Frank Music has been struggling for years, as music became readily available online, said Heidi Rogers, the shop’s owner. “We went from seeing 15 to 20 people per day to seeing two or three,” Ms. Rogers said on Monday. “I went from feeling like I was at the center of the world to feeling invisible.” The store, on West 54th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, opened in 1937 and provided the city’s musicians scores from the standard— Bach, Beethoven —to the arcane. Ms. Rogers bought it in 1978. Frank Music is the last store in the city dedicated to selling classical sheet music, Ms. Rogers said, although other places such as the Jiulliard School’s bookstore at Lincoln Center have it on their shelves. Frank Music’s stock, which Ms. Rogers counts as hundreds of thousands of scores, was purchased by an anonymous donor as a gift for the Colburn School, a music conservatory in Los Angeles. The school and Ms. Rogers declined to comment on financial details. Colburn School’s president and chief executive, Sel Kardan, called Frank Music’s scores “an invaluable resource for our students and faculty for years to come.” ‘Everyone says, Aren’t you going to have a party? I feel like having a funeral.’ To the 63-year-old Ms. Rogers, nothing is more important than the arts. “The idea that classical music is irrelevant is ridiculous,” she said, bemoaning the comparative salaries of tubists and stockbrokers. “People should be paid in terms of what they contribute to people’s well being.” The store’s celebrity clients over the years have included pianists Emanuel Ax and Jeremy Denk, violinist Pamela Frank and cellist David Finckel. One of Ms. Rogers’s favorite memories is a telephone call from the violinist Itzhak Perlman , asking for Kreisler scores. The composer Bruce Adolphe, who is resident lecturer at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, described the store as a musical meeting ground. “Frank’s Music was not just a store but a crucible,” he said, “a nexus where musicians from Suzuki beginners and their parents, to Joshua Bell, or the Brentano’s Mark Steinberg, would meet by chance. Its closing is perhaps the latest example of classical music’s changing brick-and-mortar businesses. Joseph Patelson Music House, another longtime sheet-music establishment, closed in 2009, and Dowling Music shut its doors in 2013. Last year, J&R Music and Computer World, the last store in New York with a sizable classical CD section, stopped carrying classical albums. Musicians have plenty of online opportunities to buy sheet music, whether from Amazon.com , publishers or specialty websites such as Sheet Music Plus. The website IMSLP, a digital library of public-domain music, allows users to download scores for free. Some musicians with iPads have dispensed with pesky paper scores altogether. For now, Ms. Rogers plans to pack up the rest of the store’s contents and then spend some time on her farm in the Catskills, where she has tenant farmers and 50 chickens.

After waiting tables for awhile, former reality star Jon Gosselin is segwaying into the world of celebrity DJing. All in an effort to kick-start his career. But, even he could not have predicted that one day he’d be DJing at a bowling alley in New Jersey … for one person. (Dance like no one’s watching … we guess?) TMZ captured the embarrassing video, but a spokesman for bowling alley, Laurel Lanes in Maple Shade, N.J., tells Us Weekly that Gosselin’s DJ set was not the epic fail that it appeared to be. "His appearance was a great time. We had many people inside the bar, just none that wanted to dance. Do not be fooled. He was a good DJ." And, of course, the bowling alley is loving the publicity — mocking or not. Their explanation for the sparsely populated dancefloor? People were more interested in drinking than dancing. Oh well he has to start somewhere.

Russia tries to block UN from providing benefits to gay employees 4th March 2015, 7:03 PM, Nick Duffy Russia is trying to block the United Nations from opening up its employee benefits to gay and lesbian couples. The UN announced last July that it would globally extend its employee benefits to workers in same-sex marriages or other unions – irrespective of whether they are recognised locally. However, the move – which had been set to benefit the UN’s 44,000 staff across the globe – has faced eleventh-hour opposition from Russian diplomats, who object to any recognition of same-sex unions. On Monday, a Russian diplomat demanded that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon reverse the decision – threatening to force a vote in the budget committee that could lead to a humiliating defeat for the UN leadership. The diplomat claimed the measure “violates the sovereign rights of members states to determine the legal framework of [the] life of their citizens”, and added: “We will insist that the Secretary-General urgently revoke the administrative bulletin.” Russia’s spokesman Alexey Zaytsev told Foreign Policy: “For us it is a very important issue. “We would prefer to make a decision…by consensus but if some delegations do not demonstrate a constructive approach to the concerns raised by us and shared by many other member states, then we’ll have no other choice but to call for a vote.” Jessica Stern of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission said: “[Russia] is looking for any excuse to curtail the UN Secretary-General’s authority. “It’s no secret that the Secretary-General and Russia have been at cross-purposes over Ukraine and Syria, and the Russians have found the perfect political vehicle for attacking him.”

Dick Kallman was an actor in movies and television in the late 50s and 60s.He was also an accomplished singer who recorded an album of standards for EMI in London, when he was accompanied by orchestras conducted by John Barry and Ennio Morricone. In 1975, he joined a partnership to manufacture women's play clothes and party clothes and also began working as a dealer in antiques, silver, and art. Richard Kallman was also a gay man. On February 22, 1980 Richard and his partner Stephen Szladek were murdered in Kallman's Manhattan apartment by three men who gained entrance and stole a lot of valuable art, antiques, and jewelry. It was a well planned and executed heist and it took over a year before the three were caught and even longer for them to be tried, convicted, and given lengthy prison sentances. 27-year-old Charles Lonnie Grosso of Queens was convicted of the killings and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. None of the paintings, jewelry, and antiques stolen from the apartment were ever recovered.

In an effort to extend an olive branch to those who advocate making pot legal, Canada Conservative government is suggesting making pot possession a ticketing offence. The proposal would not take any existing laws off the books, but would add a new ticketing power. This would neither be decriminalization nor legalization, but rather an improvement on the status quo in which police must choose between ignoring a situation or laying criminal charges. Laying charges for pot strains police and court resources. Plus convictions for pot possession carry heavy consequences for individuals – including potential barriers to travel and employment – that would be avoided with tickets. Why can't US follow this lead and instead of making Pot legal, just ticket those busted with small amounts. What's wrong with that?

March 3 2015 LONDON (AP) -- Predictions of doom for the Dowager Countess of Grantham may be premature. "Downton Abbey" publicists say Maggie Smith was misinterpreted in remarks widely reported as suggesting she will leave the TV show after its sixth season later this year. Smith told the Sunday Times newspaper that "I can't see how ('Downton') could go on." Speaking of her character, she added: "I mean, I certainly can't keep going. To my knowledge, I must be 110 by now." Milk Publicity said Tuesday that Smith spoke lightheartedly, and "has always been on the record as saying she'll be with the show for as long as the show runs." Producers haven't announced whether the show will have a seventh season. Creator Julian Fellowes is due to script a U.S. period drama, "The Gilded Age."

Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, has an interesting theory about homosexuality. Carson argued in a Wednesday CNN interview that people who come out as gay while in prison prove many them weren't born that way. "Absolutely," Carson said when asked whether he thought homosexuality was a choice. "Because a lot of people who go into prison, go into prison straight straight. And when they come out, they're gay. So did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question." Despite his opposition to gay marriage, Carson suggested he could get behind civil unions. "Why do gay people want to get married?" he said. "Because they want to have various rights — property rights, visitation rights. Why can't any two human beings, I don't care what their sexual orientation is, why can't they have the legal right to do those things? OK, that does not require changing the definition of marriage." Though it is still early in the presidential race, polls have consistently placed Carson, a political neophyte and conservative favorite, near the top of the pack. Carson has not formally announced a campaign, but he launched a fundraising committee to explore a White House bid on Monday.

My friend is a natural businessman. He's not afraid of money and talking about it. He knows the value of money and how things should be priced. Most importantly, he knows that the majority of people ARE fearful of discussing money. He easily takes advantage of that, as do so many businessmen. What's not so great is to talk with someone for whom money trumps everything. Every conversation has money in it. My advice to those making major purchases is that everything is negotiable. Also, if you feel uncomfortable about any part of the purchase, don't pretend you completely understand everything. Stop and make the salesman slow down and explain properly. Finally, the salesman is not your friend. Stop feeling the salesman will think less of you if don't do everything he says.

The novels of mystery writer Patricia Highsmith have been inspiring film and television thrillers since 1951, when Alfred Hitchcock translated her Strangers on a Train into a blockbuster and haunting classic. Highsmith has developed a reputation for twisted tales of violence and murder, but her latest adaptation will focus on a more elusive theme in her works: the love that dare not speak its name. Number 9 Films and Film4 are co-producing Carol, a drama based on Highsmith's controversial novel The Price of Salt, and have secured coveted leading ladies Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska to star. Boy A helmer John Crowley will direct the adaptation, translated to screen by Phyllis Nagy, who wrote and directed the Ben Kingsley-Annette Bening drama Mrs. Harris. Originally published under a pseudonym in 1952, Highsmith's book centered on the romantic relationship that evolved between two women, Carol and Therese, who meet in a bustling New York City department store. At the time, the book was considered scandalous because rather than being a fable of sorts that condemned its lesbian lovers to scorn and tragedy, The Price of Salt took the risk of a happy, gay ending. Wasikowska will play Therese, a twenty-something store clerk whose deep loneliness subsides in the presence of the glamorous and mysterious Carol. Blanchett will portray the eponymous heroine who is coping with the breakup of her marriage, and struggling to stay connected to her daughter. Her ex-husband, having discovered the Sapphic pair's relationship, threatens to sue for full-custody, putting an incredible strain on Therese and Carol's blossoming bond. It's easy to see why the story of The Price of Salt is relevant today, and with two such lauded and talented actresses on board, this movie adaptation seems destined to generate plenty of buzz come award season next year. Carol will go into production February 2013 in London and New York.

I''m always reading here that he is gay as if it is a fact, but where''s the evidence?\ \ All I see is a list of relationships with women going back many years.\ \ He lived with Rebbeca De Mornay for 2 or 3 years in the early 1980''s after Risky Business. He then went on to marry Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.\ \ To me, living with a woman, being married to 3 others and having a child with one of them does not seem to be evidence of a man being gay.\ \ Am I missing something?
The flipside to the 'Actresses ith the best hair' thread. I'll start it off with Scott Bakula. I always wanted to run my fingers through his feathered mane on Quantum Leap, and I loved the gray streak.

The argument:\ \ She''s successfully played Elizabeth I, Katherine Hepburn, Bob Dylan and Veronica Guerin.\ \ The New York Times said her performance as Blanche DuBois in Streetcar should now be considered the definitive version. Or at least the high bar.\ \ Easily fits into Hollywood fluff like The Gift, The Missing, Bandits, etc, and is usually the best thing in those movies. Also steals the show in Talented Mr Ripely and Paradise Road where she is a minor character.\ \ And she is still in her leading lady phase. We love her.
Is anyone watching this on HBO tonight? I find the Robert Durst saga to be bizarrely fascinating
So i had a premonition the other night while i slept and no one will believe me. But i know the truth. I'm sure that i'm not the only person to get these types of dreams. Any stories?
Is it uniformly terrible in all the Slavic countries for gays? At least one of the former Warsaw Pact countries has to be gay-friendly, right?

Do any of you other socially awkward people have problems with these? They are starting to really bother me. I hate that every time you go anywhere you have to have your photo taken. I'm not sure why but it really freaks me out to know lots of people are looking at me. "Can't we just have dinner and not brodcast it to the world?"
Right now, gay marriage is legal in The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, and Argentina.%0D\ %0D\ What country will be next?
The “Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber” will tape in Los Angeles, though a specific date has yet to be announced. “Justin has been asking us for a few years to roast him, and we just kept telling him to go create more source material first. We’re thrilled he listened,” Kent Alterman, the network's President of Content Development & Original Programming, said in a statement.
She has such a cute face and quite a bit of talent. I hope she goes far, but since she's not a Halle Berry type, I can't help but worry.
I saw the first Mortal Instruments movie this morning and it was really awful. The books were fun and should have made for an easy translation to the screen. Instead they were completely altered beyond recognition and some of the casting was very off. Magnus, who was the most fun character, was HORRIBLE. I went to the AMC on 34th and the audience was half empty and very restless. Why couldn't they have done a better job? Stick with the books and you'll be happy.
Love to see this happening in the states.
As requested.

My last one was too much like a straight guy. I need someone who loves to shop and watch romantic comedies. Any suggestions on how to find someone?
Yea for me; the guy's seriously debonair and hot. Despite fact that he's verbally abusive, he hosts a great show.
White House adviser had to walk back the oft-repeated myth that women make 77 cents on the dollar that men make after being questioned about the figure during a conference call Monday. While detailing executive actions President Obama plans to take Tuesday regarding equal pay for women, Betsey Stevenson, a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said very defiantly that despite women contributing 44 percent of their household incomes, they continue to make less than men. Obama has declared Tuesday "Equal Pay Day" to highlight his administration's focus on that issue. “They’re stuck at 77 cents on the dollar, and that gender wage gap is seen very persistently across the income distribution, within occupations, across occupations, and we see it when men and women are working side by side doing identical work.” That sounds awfully specific. Stevenson certainly sounds like she’s saying men and women doing the exact same job are earning very different pay. Myth debunked. Women, we are oppressed. I take back everything I wrote about the 77-cent claim being a myth. Except, as soon as Stevenson was actually questioned about the statistic by McClatchy reporter Lindsay Wise, the White House adviser crumbled, admitting her earlier comments were inaccurate. “If I said 77 cents was equal pay for equal work, then I completely misspoke,” Stevenson said. “So let me just apologize and say that I certainly wouldn’t have meant to say that.” Oh, I’m sorry, I guess when Stevenson said “we see it when men and women are working side by side doing identical work” — that was an accident? “Seventy-seven cents captures the annual earnings of full-time, full-year women divided by the annual earnings of full-time, full-year men,” Stevenson clarified. “There are a lot of things that go into that 77-cents figure, there are a lot of things that contribute and no one’s trying to say that it’s all about discrimination, but I don’t think there’s a better figure.” No one’s trying to blame discrimination? Isn’t that what the entire Paycheck Fairness Act and Equal Pay Day are based on? And while we're at it, let's not forget that the White House pays women less than men. But that's okay, said White House press secretary Jay Carney, because they still pay "better than the national average."
Which are worth visiting? I''ve heard Croatia is the most beautiful, with the seaside cities of Split and Dubrovnik, but I''m also curious about Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Rumania, and Bulgaria. Are any worth visiting? Which are the most beautiful? Which have the hottest guys?
This French actor is the toast of Hollywood right now and a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination for "The Artist." He's incredibly handsome.
1 hour ago William Shatner sent out a series of Tweets on Saturday expressing his grief over the loss of one his "dearest friends," Leonard Nimoy. Sadly, due to a prior commitment that poses a scheduling conflict, Shatner is unable to attend Nimoy's funeral on Sunday. "I am currently in FL as I agreed to appear at the Red Cross Ball tonight. Leonard's funeral is tomorrow. I can't make it back in time," he explained, adding in another Tweet, "I feel really awful. Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried." hatner, who starred as Captain James T. Kirk on "Star Trek," asked that fans keep his former co-star in their thoughts as he is laid to rest. "So maybe tomorrow we come together here and celebrate his life," the actor Tweeted and continued, "So let's spend some time tomorrow celebrating Leonard's life and remembering the man." He also took time to thank everyone who has paid tribute to the late star. "I am so humbled by the worldwide outpouring of love that has been displayed; words cannot express my feelings," he wrote in one Tweet and further expressed gratitude in another that read, "There are so many people who I need to say thank you to." Shatner ended his series of Tweets with one final note, "Until tomorrow! #LLAP." #LLAP stands for Nimoy's famous "Star Trek" line, "Live long and prosper." On Friday, the day Nimoy passed, Shatner Tweeted, "I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love." Nimoy died Friday morning "after a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in Bel Air. Mr. Nimoy was 83 years old," a spokesperson for the actor told Access Hollywood .
Now every time I look at him or think about him, I can't stop thinking about Roz. And he wants to keep on doing it again and again. What should I do? It's disturbing.
