Where are they? And is Bullets really closing on Labor Day? Elaine Stritch DID do At Liberty for a year, just not all on Broadway. What's the difference? When is The Bodyguard coming in?

Can't wait. Terrific casting. Directed by Abel Ferrara ("Bad Lieutenant") Pasolini was one of the most controversial directors ever ("Salo"). He loved trade and was killed (or so the story goes) by a piece of rough trade.
You know Taylor Swift loves to get a hold of all the bi-curious (Joe Jonas), bi-sexual (Harry Styles) and gay (Taylor Lautner) men in Hollywood so she can get dumped by them and later write a hit song playing the victim of how bad they were to her. So what do you all think of her new 'victim' Australian born actor Brenton Thwaites, 23, set to star in two new movies (The Prince in Disney’s “Maleficent” and Jonas in the movie “The Giver“). I hope he runs from Taylor, but somehow both of their PR people are probably working over-time to shove their romance down our throats. But what do you all think of Brenton? Does he have the looks to make it big in Hollywood?
When did they meet? Did Halls already have the kids? Did Bomer have much of a career at the time they got together?

The endlessly fascinating world of HKN is not quite so fascinating anymore. Is this because there's just so much a person can take when it comes to the sorry state of affairs in the land of delusion? The name-calling is growing old and repetitive. The We Believe! mantra is becoming more and more transparent. And, well, honestly, just how many laughing gifs can a person stomach in one day? And then we have the subjects of this thread themselves. Unless one of them comes out or learns to act or finds some talent, the fact is that they will not be able to hold our attention much longer. Then again, one can always hope. Right?

Orlando Bloom got in Justin Bieber's face early Wednesday morning in Ibiza ... and Justin fled the restaurant -- and one eyewitness says Orlando threw a punch. The eyewitness tells TMZ ... Orlando was in Cipriani restaurant which was packed with celebs, including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Diddy. Listen closely as you watch the video. It sounds like Justin, in the middle of a shoving match, screams, "What's up bitch?" You don't see Orlando swing, but the eyewitness tells us that's exactly what happened. And we're told when Bieber left the crowd applauded. The backstory is almost legendary ... Justin partied with Orlando's then-wife Miranda Kerr after a 2012 Victoria's Secret fashion show in NYC and they got very VERY close. And in April of this year, Orlando was hanging out with Justin's on-and-off GF Selena Gomez. So the bad blood is flowing.

Joey Luft remembers it well: appearing on the 1963 Christmas episode of his mother Judy Garland's CBS musical-variety series with his two older sisters, Lorna Luft and Liza Minnelli. On a recent afternoon, Luft was rewatching the show, his eyes wide and a smile dancing across his face as his younger self broke into "Where Is Love?" on the classic yuletide show. "She opened the show with 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,'" said the 59-year-old Luft, a slight man who is a bundle of energy. "Our living room [of the Lufts' house] on Rockingham Avenue was copied so the Christmas show looked like our living room." Though half-sister Minnelli, who is an Oscar, Tony, Emmy and Grammy award-winner, and Lorna Luft have followed in their mother's footsteps, their baby brother has largely lived out of the public eye. "I've been more behind the camera," said Luft, who has studied photography and sound and has worked as a kind of editor-runner. Though he may not be famous, "I have a life that has been fascinating," said Luft, who appeared with his siblings at the Oscars this past March for a 75th anniversary tribute to "The Wizard of Oz," the 1939 classic that made Garland a star. "I can tell stories for days." He's finally getting the opportunity to tell the stories about his mother in "A Judy Garland Concert With Joey Luft," which opens Friday and continues through Sunday at the Pasadena Playhouse. The evening features colorized footage from "The Judy Garland Show" of the legend performing such standards as "Stormy Weather," "Come Rain or Come Shine" and of course "Over the Rainbow." In between clips, Luft and the show's producer, John Kimble, his childhood friend and longtime associate of his late father, producer Sid Luft, will talk about Garland. "It's just so fun just getting out there and talking about her and letting people know, 'Here's what really happened,'" said Luft in a recent interview at Kimble's Culver City home. "I don't want to talk about the bad things," said Luft, who was 14 in 1969 when his mother died of an overdose of barbiturates. "That isn't what my mom was about. She was a performer. She was a mother. She loved people. She was the most caring person. She had the greatest sense of humor." Luft stood up to imitate his mother when she guest-starred on NBC's "The Jack Paar Show." "He introduces my mom and she comes on stage with a broom," said Luft, as he mimes sweeping the floor. "She puts the broom down and walks over and sits down with Jack and said 'People told me I would clean up in this business.'" The story lead to another memory of watching a hockey game with Lorna and Garland in his mother's bedroom. "My mom was kind of tired and she looked kind of frustrated," said Luft. "I said 'How do you feel? She looks at us, walks over to the TV and she goes, 'How do I feel? See that hockey game? You know the puck? That how I feel." And she walks off. Then we started laughing." His father was Garland's third husband and is credited with resurrecting her career after she was fired from MGM in 1950. He colorized the black-and-white "Judy Garland Show" before his death in 2005 at the age of 89. "It took us years and years to do because there was so much detail and so much work to go into it," said Luft. "My dad spent so much money that near the end of his life he went broke because he put so much into it. He wanted to put a show together." "We have cleaned up all the audio and made it look like it was shot yesterday," added Kimble. Kimble said that they have booked a fall tour of the show in Canada, invited theaters to a workshop production of the show a few weeks ago in Culver City and currently are making tweaks to the evening before they open in Pasadena. The playhouse will also have an exhibit of rare photos from Garland's life and career as well as Michael Siewert's collection of costumes from many of her classic films. Luft's siblings won't be attending the show. Lorna lives in Palm Springs and is awaiting the birth of a grandchild. "Liza is in New York," said Luft. "She was going to come out and see the show but she couldn't make it out." Luft hopes his show will keep the memory of his mother and her talent alive for years to come. "They know 'The Wizard of Oz,' but people don't even know Judy," said Luft, who added that he could listen to her recordings for hours. "The show is to educate people and show who she was and what she did and what she was all about — one of the world's greatest entertainers."

I've struggled with this all my life. Years of psychiatry, medication, support groups and books haven't done much. Does anyone have examples of things they have done that successfully boosted their sense of self-worth to share? Or, from a different perspective, behaviour you have observed in others struggling with this - that they just don't recognize makes it worse for them?

I recently discovered this series and am now midway through the second season. It's fun, and I'm in love with the Celia character. I'm beginning to dislike the lead actress though. She has a weird way of acting and the character herself is not a very good person. Does the series maintain the level of fun and interest it projects in the first two seasons? Does it become dark? Do we lose any of the currently major characters (Like Celia, her adorable bear husband, Kevin Nealan, Halia, the dreadlocked pot dealer)? What was the reception like when this series began? I remember hearing about it and apparently it was good enough to stick around for a few years, but I'm not sure how far it can go when she's a major pot dealer with a DEA husband, who nobody knows about yet except one of her grower colleagues.

A 36-year-old woman who had sex with a 12-year old-boy has been jailed for 10 years. Joy Leaann McCall, from Ocala, Florida, had sex three times with the young boy who was the same age as her own children. She was given 10 years in prison for each charge of lewd or lascivious battery on a child between 12 and 15 but told the sentence would run concurrently. McCall pleaded guilty to the second degree felony charges and was given a 134 day credit for time already spent in jail. The court heard that the 12-year-old, who has not been named, told police that he received Facebook messages from the woman. He said the messages 'continued to get more heated' and he later received photos of her posing in underwear. McCall arranged to meet the boy at a local shopping mall where she picked him up and ended up having sex in the back seat of her car. The boy claimed he contacted her again five days later. She collected him and drove him to some woods, where they had sex again.
Is she dead? I haven't heard a word about her in years. I'm not complaining, mind you, just curious.
Anyone excited about watching the final year? God help me, but after watching several trailers, I think it looks kinda good. BTW, what's the real story about Luke Grimes (James) leaving? After watching the most recent preview, I hope it was not homophobia.

On my "Who wants to marry an ISIS militant thread," I read several comments describing "Man-boy-Love Thursdays." I thought it needed it's own thread, as there are several entries on the internet. Thursday among the Afghan Pashtuns is comparable to Saturday night in the USA. Apparently "Man-Love Thursdays" is fairly common in other Muslim countries where access to wives, especially during warfare, is restricted. At least that's the common excuse. Participants also claim that they are not gay or homosexual.
When marijuana eventually gets legalized throughout the US, do you think other drugs will take its place for Big Prisons, drug lords, etc.? Should we legalize the others, like crystal meth, heroin, etc.?

There are still a few left, but it was such an omnipresent sort of figure in gay life once upon a time. Look at John McCourt, Terrence Mcnally, Albert Innaurato, Wayne Koestenbaum... all of them are still alive, of course; but all of them are at least over 50. I just cannot name that many gay men under 50 who still deeply care about opera. If you revived the play "The Lisbon Traviata" today, I don't think many gay men would universally recognize the type the way they did when the play was written. Why did this type of gay man die out? I'm not sure I really mourn it, since opera queens were often (though not always) mean, sour, and snobby.

The manager of a Florida business where George Zimmerman was questioned by police said Tuesday that Zimmerman was never hired to provide security, despite his claims otherwise to authorities. DeLand police report that two officers spotted Zimmerman and his dog parked behind Pompano Pat's, a motorcycle and gun store, on Sunday shortly after midnight and approached him. Zimmerman, acquitted last summer in the shooting of the 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, told officers that the owner gave him permission to be there to provide security after a recent burglary, according to the police report. Officers attempted to confirm that but couldn't reach the owner. No citations were issued because "There was no evidence to support that a crime had occurred or was about to occur," Officer Jessica Mayo wrote in the report. Zimmerman "in no way, shape or form" is employed by the store, Pompano Pat's manager Sam Porter told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday. Owner Pat Johnson didn't immediately return a phone message. "He's not being paid to be act as a security officer or in any other way for Pompano Pat's," Porter said. Porter confirmed that the store had a burglary about two weeks ago, with 10 rifles stolen. He said that internal store security was "beefed up" after the incident, but that no after-hours security personnel were hired. Porter said that Johnson knew Zimmerman and had a friendship with him but wouldn't elaborate further. Zimmerman became a national figure during his second-degree murder trial last year for fatally shooting the Martin during an altercation in Sanford, Florida, in February 2012. The case raised questions about race and self-defense laws. Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, was acquitted last July in the shooting of Martin, who was black. Zimmerman filed an appeal this week in a defamation lawsuit against NBC Universal and three reporters. Last month, a judge dismissed Zimmerman's lawsuit, saying the former neighborhood watch leader had failed to show that the network acted with malice. In his lawsuit, Zimmerman says NBC's editing of a story about the shooting made it sound as if he voluntarily told a phone operator that Martin was black.

Maybe you’re one of those irritating people prone to complaining, “Why can’t they make shows as good as [name of a vintage TV series] anymore?” For years, that was a safe whine because the shows existed only in the memories of those who had seen them the first time around. But then, in addition to releases on videotape and DVD, came cable. Outlets like Nick at Nite and TV Land discovered that they could live off rebroadcasts of ancient series, and now, in case you haven’t noticed, all sorts of imitators have discovered that, too. This past Saturday afternoon at 1:30, a Comcast customer in central New Jersey like me could choose from among “7th Heaven” (on a channel called Up that promises “uplifting entertainment”), “Good Times” (TV One), “The Virginian” (Inspire), “The Bill Cosby Show” (Aspire), “The Golden Girls” (TV Land), “Maverick” (Encore Westerns) and others. Expecting to feel nostalgic on Thursday night at 10:30? Cozi has “Magnum P.I.,” Antenna TV has “Sanford and Son,” and Aspire offers “The Flip Wilson Show.” The problem with the ready availability of this old stuff — don’t even get me started on Internet streaming — is that it forces us into a wistful but abstract longing for what was. And the reality is: All this retro TV is too much of a good thing, or, more correctly, too much of a thing that wasn’t really as good as memory makes it seem. It’s fine to pay respect to the shows of yore, to acknowledge and admire them for delineating and expanding the form and so on. But to actually watch 50-year-old shows all day? I’d rather rip out my eyeballs. Sure, it’s fun to indulge occasionally — once a week, say. Maybe you’ll get lucky and stumble on a 1966 episode of “Bewitched” called “Man’s Best Friend,” where a young actor named Richard Dreyfuss, still a teenager, made one of his first appearances. Or perhaps you’ll hit upon one of the two “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” episodes from the 1950s directed by the unknown Robert Altman. But if you’re watching this fare all day, every day, you need help, because “venerable” doesn’t necessarily mean “still watchable.” Sluggish pacing, wooden acting, wince-inducing jokes and obvious plot twists abound in the television of the distant and even not-so-distant past. Too much of this will turn your brain to mush as surely as too much of today’s reality TV will. I know this is heresy to some, but since I’m in this far, I might as well go whole hog. Here are nine great, important, fabulous vintage (or soon to be) shows that I never want to see again. I don’t know if they are currently being shown on any of the channels mentioned above, but surely somebody has programmed them or plans to in the future. No! Back in the vault, please: ‘I LOVE LUCY’ (premiere: 1951) Yeah, I know; it’s at or near the top of a lot of Best TV Series of All Time lists, and rightly so. In its time, it was defining. But today the broad humor draws only the occasional chuckle. The show is like your high school girlfriend: Just because you loved Lucy once doesn’t mean you still do. ‘THE HONEYMOONERS’ (1955) Same problem, only louder. Couples defined by screaming seem more sad than funny today. THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS’ (1959) Considering that it gave us one of the most memorable characters in television’s first half-century, the beatnik Maynard G. Krebs (Bob Denver), this series is remarkably drab. Teenagers perhaps found that it spoke to them. If those same people, with a lifetime of perspective now in their heads, were to watch it today, the memory of that would make them flush with embarrassment. At their age, that would constitute a health risk. ‘GILLIGAN’S ISLAND’ (1964) Considering the cultural impact it had, this show wasn’t around for long, but if you were a child when it was on, it looms large. Such characters! Such a predicament! Preserve that innocence by not watching it again, because most of the episodes were actually kind of lame, and some dismaying stereotypes floated through the island from time to time.

Shrouded heavily in all-black clothing, a woman alleged to be an Army veteran and a bereaved mother of two has been steadily making her way north through the Appalachian U.S., drawing interest from locals and Internet onlookers all over the country. Traveling mostly along rural highways and small towns, the #womaninblack, as she has quietly become known on the Internet over the last two months, doesn't do a lot of talking.

WTF? Maggie Gallagher just admitted she doesn’t think of herself as a heterosexual. In a rambling new blog post, littered with very poor syntax and excessive verbiage, the NOM co-founder writes: Here’s my view: When Christians tell me that homosexuality is “socially constructed” and therefore not a “real” permanent feature of human existence, I generally respond “I know gay people exist the same way that I know that Methodists exist. I’ve met them.” In other words, not all categories that are real are founded on fixed unchangeable essences. Sexual orientation as a concept is a way of organizing “given reality” (sexual attraction) into a communal identity, the strongest kind. It is therefore not at all like race, and but rather more akin to religion. Such deep and profound wisdom. The sage continues: I never ever think of myself as a heterosexual, nonetheless my own ideas about my experience of sexuality (“we are born male and female and called to come together in love in this thing called marriage”) are core enough to my identity and my sense of what is required for communal good that I am willing to suffer rather than renounce them, if necessary. They are not positions I hold, they are part of who I am. Hold up! Did Maggie Gallagher, crusader for homophobia, just admit to possibly being a lesbian? No. Not at all. She just doesn’t label herself as a heterosexual. But she still is one, by definition, and she’s willing to make a martyr of herself over it “if necessary.” Now we can’t help but wonder… If she believes this strongly about her own heterosexuality, does she think it’s possible for gays and lesbians to feel similarly about their homosexuality? “I do not have strong feelings” she writes towards the end of her blog post. Which begs the question: Why the hell did she feel the need to write this nonsense?

The president of conservative pro-family group Faith2Action last weekend announced the pre-launch of ReaganBook, a social networking site described as "the Facebook for patriots," according to Right Wing Watch. Faith2Action President Janet Porter told attendees at the Ohio Liberty Coalition's "Reload 4 Liberty" event that Facebook has been censoring people like anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera. Porter lamented that "while tomorrow Facebook employees are gathering to go march at the gay pride parade in San Francisco," they are censoring people with "unpopular opinions." She then described ReaganBook as a social network that tears down walls like President Reagan. “We’re tearing down walls of tyranny and censorship," she said. ReaganBook, now at 36 members, welcomes all individuals to "connect and share freely." The site says it will not "scan, mine or sell user content." "We stand by what Ronald Reagan said, ‘Government has no power except those voluntarily granted to it by we the people,'" the site reads. "The same holds true for your social media: don’t grant your social media any power to collect, sell, exploit, and divulge your private information."

WASHINGTON -- One of President Barack Obama's top advisers said on Friday that he expects House Republicans will ultimately file articles of impeachment against the president. Dan Pfeiffer, a senior aide who has been with the administration since Obama first took office, told reporters that he anticipated that a lawsuit filed by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) over executive actions taken by the president on health care would ultimately not be enough to satisfy some of the more vocal conservatives in Congress. Pfeiffer added that coming executive actions surrounding immigration reform would only stoke the impeachment flames. "I think a lot of people in this town laugh that off," said Pfeiffer. "I would not discount that possibility. I think that Speaker Boehner, by going down this path of this lawsuit, has opened the door to Republicans possibly considering impeachment at some point in the future." Speaking at the Christian Science Monitor breakfast, Pfeiffer based his prediction on several factors. The first was former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) calling for articles of impeachment to be drawn over the president's executive action allowing certain young undocumented immigrants to stay in the country. The second was a CNN poll released Friday morning showing that while just 33 percent of the country supported impeachment, a full 57 percent of Republicans were in favor of it. "I think impeachment is a very serious thing that has been bandied about by the recent Republican vice presidential nominee and others in a very unserious way," said Pfeiffer. "And no one has even made any allegation of anything that would be within six universes from what is generally considered in that space." Boehner has said repeatedly that he is not interested in drafting articles of impeachment against the president. UPDATE: 10:25 a.m. -- Boehner's spokesman Michael Steel emailed the following response to Pfeiffer. We have a humanitarian crisis at our border, and the White House is making matters worse with inattention and mixed signals. It is telling, and sad, that a senior White House official is focused on political games, rather than helping these kids and securing the border. While Pfeiffer did float the prospect of impeachment without much, if any, prodding, it's worth noting that he did also discuss the crisis at the border during Friday's breakfast session.
The title is a quote from another thread. I'd like to know this too. & why do those films have such a gay following in general?
Poster linked... Paramount quickly retracts the promo poster featuring the Australian release date for TMNT The upcoming Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is set to open on September 11th in Australia, which was today highlighted by a new promotional poster published to Paramount's Twitter and Facebook streams. The image was quickly retracted, however, after users reacted angrily to the combination of its release date and the artwork above it, depicting the four turtles jumping out of an exploding skyscraper. Evoking the tragic events of the World Trade Center attacks in New York 13 years ago was certainly not Paramount's intention, as evidenced by the fact that this particular poster had already been used a week earlier, albeit without the offending opening date. And, unlike AT&T last year, Paramount's blunderous tweet made the connection accidentally rather than trying to exploit the date to sell its product. Still, it's a significant faux pas for the film studio to make and won't endear the TMNT reboot any more to an audience that's already dubious about how far it's strayed from the original material.

I've read rumors elsewhere that he's gay and mentioned this to my boss, who is a lesbian. For some reason she got bent out of shape refusing to entertain the notion that Daniel Craig might be gay. So, IF he is gay, does anyone have some good strong evidence that Daniel Craig is gay that I can present her?
Since you're hogging the Taxi vs. WKRP thread, which of NBC's Thursday night 1980s families was your favorite?
Is he really? His fans and some of his "friends" keep saying that he is bisexual and very promiscuous with women, and only says that he is gay because he is HIV positive (which is a weird reason to call yourself gay, isn't it?).

Peaches set the music industry on its ears when it started out. The Peaches stores began opening in 1976 and at their peak there were approx 35 branches. \ \ Part of the Peaches tradition was to have large concrete squares along the sidewalks surrounding their stores. Musicians would be asked to sign and put their handprints into the squares like Mann''s Chinese Theater.\ \ They sold crates for albums that looked like old peach crates with the Peaches logo on the end labels.They also did brisk business in Peaches logo t-shirts. \ \ Peaches went belly up in 1985. Their downfall is they gambled and thought that consumers would not buy a thing called a Compact Disc.

Yet, I like the parts more than the sum. He did a good job with the small kitchen. He has a clear color scheme - white, black, gray, browns.

Passengers kicked up a stink on a flight from Beijing to Detroit this week after a family allowed their toddler to defecate on his seat, according to reports. Travellers on board the Delta Airlines flight allegedly watched in horror as the young Chinese boy's parents laid down newspaper on his chair and encouraged him to relieve himself there and then. Despite pleas from passengers and crew to take him to the cabin toilet, the boy's grandfather and grandmother - who were also on the plane - insisted on letting the boy settle there, it was claimed. Passenger Luolan Gang Wang told Sina News that once the boy had finished his business, its smell began slowly to waft through the cabin sparking a wave of disgust among fellow travellers. Following the incident, Chinese social network Weibo came alive with commenters expressing their disgust, many of whom condemned the family for embarrassing their homeland. Delta Airlines did not immediately respond to MailOnline's request for comment. It is not clear exactly when the alleged incident happened but it is believed to have occurred some time around the middle of last week. It comes months after a disturbingly similar incident in which a child was photographed passing motion on a domestic flight in China in February.

Goldberg defends the context in which ESPN's Stephen A. Smith made his original remarks, referencing how the wife of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice mentioned that she hit him first Even though Stephen A. Smith apologized for saying that women sometimes provoke getting hit, Whoopi Goldberg is still coming to his defense. On Monday's “The View,” Goldberg was vehemently defending the context in which Smith made his original remarks, referencing how the wife of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice mentioned that she hit him first. According to Goldberg, women should be taught from a young age the lesson “Don't be surprised if you hit a man, he hits you back.” She went on to say, “If you make the choice as a woman who is 4'3” and you decide to hit a guy who is 6 foot tall and you're the last thing you want he wants to deal with that day and he hits you back, you cannot be surprised.” Of course, the rest of the panel was saying that a man should never hit a woman, and in principle Whoopi agreed, but she was advocating that women should learn to keep it under control themselves. “I know I'm going to catch a lot of hell, and I don't care. But you have to teach women, do not live with this idea that men have this chivalry thing still with them, don't assume that that is still in place.”

From the New York Post: Anderson Cooper and his partner, Benjamin Maisani, will be relaxing in historic splendor in Connecticut’s affluent Litchfield County this summer. Multiple sources tell us the CNN anchor has splashed out on a massive, 10,127-square-foot Tudor revival stone mansion, called Rye House, for the mid-to-high seven figures. The tony estate — sold by Karen Shaw, a former Miss Connecticut who starred on “Dallas” and “The A Team,” and her husband, Marc — was built in 1908 and designed by Wilson Eyre, a founder of House & Garden magazine. The home includes an Olympic-sized swimming pool and tennis court, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Its 18 rooms feature original chestnut wood paneling, limestone fireplaces and a hand-carved marble staircase. There’s also a private four-bedroom guest wing. The 280-acre grounds boast Japanese pagoda trees, wisteria, magnolias, a walkway with stone pillars and a grape arbor. The Shaws, who bought the house 15 years ago and lovingly restored it, have been renting it out for $1,800 per night, sources said. Depending on which local you ask, Cooper bought the property in leafy Litchfield for anywhere between $5 million and $9 million. The anchor will be in good company: The Litchfield area has been home to Meryl Streep, “The Normal Heart” playwright Larry Kramer, Henry Kissinger, NBC Sports vet Dick Ebersol and Susan Saint James, and HBO documentary doyenne Sheila Nevins. Anderson and Maisani already own another unusual property, an 8,240-square-foot Greenwich Village firehouse they bought in 2010 for $4.3 million. In April, Cooper also listed one of two waterfront properties in Quogue for $2.99 million. In November, Cooper, who makes around $11 million a year at CNN, signed a contract extension through the 2016 presidential election. Despite being the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, Cooper recently told Howard Stern, “My mom’s made clear to me that there’s no trust fund.” Reps for Cooper did not return calls. Pics of the huge home at link.

From wikipedia: The sexuality of Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), the 16th President of the United States, has been a topic of historical debate and scholarship, particularly since the late twentieth century.[1] Lincoln was married to Mary Todd from November 4, 1842, until his death on April 15, 1865, and fathered four children with her. According to several historians, there was no indication during Lincoln's lifetime that anyone suspected him of homosexuality[2] and few researchers have argued to the contrary. In a 2005 book, psychologist C. A. Tripp described Lincoln as having a problematic and distant relationship with women, in contrast to his warmer relations with a number of men in his life; Tripp writes that two of those relationships had possible homoerotic overtones.[3] Tripp's view has been particularly criticized for flawed historical methodology.[4] Some Lincoln biographers, including David Herbert Donald, have strongly contested claims that Lincoln was homosexual or bisexual.[5] In opposing such claims, Donald cites Lincoln's letters for context, in which he frequently referred to acquaintances, even political enemies, as "my personal friend".[6]

I just finished the book "Thing of Beauty" (which I recommend) It's a great look at a different era. It was sad how many people in her life insisted that she couldn't be gay b/c she was so pretty. It also sounded like her narcissistic mom really did a number on her and made her a raging borderline. It sounded like there was some growth. Did any of you know any of these characters? I'm particularly fascinated by Way Bandy and some of the photographers. Also, the book didn't say it, but I get the distinct impression that Patti Hansen was the one who introduced her to heroin.
According to Popnography, Robert Downey Jr. tells Rolling Stone magazine that his rumored bisexuality was something he manufactured: "A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual. That's OK. Being relaxed about sexuality is something you're born with...[My bisexuality] was manufactured. I didn't have an identity. I was playing around. I expressed it. I grew up in the Rocky Horror Picture Show world, where even my butch friends turned out to be androgynous on Saturday nights."
I believe it's "Camelot" (1967), with its horrible twee, artificial, earth-toned fakitude overwhelming every scene. Got anything worse, bitches?
Yes, again... even though it's been done before, it's fun to see how things change. Since most are in the US, this is by region. The regions are kind of nebulous (one state might belong to two), so just pick the one that feels right. Use the state you most identify with growing up in ("where you're from"), not where you are now.

Has any straight person ever used "I don't believe in labels" term? [italic]Jackson has frequently ducked questions regarding her sexual orientation: she says she has always liked pop stars to retain a sense of mystery, and she thinks discussing it would compromise her private life. "I debate this a lot – do we need everyone to be 100% open about everything before we get to the stage it doesn't matter? And I agree to a point, I am aware of the conflicts. But the problem is, if I say, 'I'm straight,' nobody will come around to my house and take a picture of my boyfriend. If I say, 'I'm gay,' then somebody will come around and try to take a picture of my girlfriend." Is that really what would happen? "Yes. It's all very well people telling me to be open about it, but it will impact on my life. Why should I have to bear the brunt of what would happen? All I know is that if it's not something I have any interest or desire to talk about, then that needs to be my only reason." Ultimately, Jackson says she doesn't feel comfortable with the traditional labels – gay, straight, bi – anyway. "I don't feel like I belong to any of those. So I'm not going to put myself in that camp, or under that title. I don't feel one thing or the other, I don't feel man, I don't feel woman – that's where the androgyny comes from. I probably feel more feminine than I do masculine… but if people want to hold me up as a gay role model, absolutely, I'm proud to be that, but I don't feel the need to say that I'm gay to do it."[/italic]

So, I'm about to jump back into the job market, and I need some suggestions. I've generally had good skin all my life, and am careful to wash it (with a gentle scrub).

On Thursday, the NFL punished Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice with a two-game suspension after the player allegedly knocked out his fiancée during an altercation in February. While many around the league have been highly critical both of Rice's conduct and of what's been perceived as a lenient punishment, ESPN panelist Stephen A. Smith sought to temper that criticism during a "First Take" segment on Friday. In a long-winded statement, Smith acknowledged a man has "no business putting [his] hands on a woman," then slowly worked toward the conclusion that women should also do their part not to give men a reason to beat them. "We know [abusing women is] wrong," Smith concedes, though toward the end of his monologue he casts doubt on who, exactly, is to blame for said abuse, given "the elements of provocation."

US: Equality Michigan petitions to end Michfest’s “womyn born womyn” intention 29th July 2014, 10:06 PM, Katie Dupere Equality Michigan is petitioning to end Michfest's transgender exclusion policy Equality Michigan has started an online petition asking the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival to end their “womyn born womyn” intention that excludes transgender women from the event. In May, festival founder Lisa Vogel wrote an open letter on the issue, stating: “We have said that this space, for this week, is intended to be for womyn who were born female, raised as girls and who continue to identify as womyn. “This is an intention for the spirit of our gathering, rather than the focus of the festival. It is not a policy, or a ban on anyone … We do not and will not question anyone’s gender.” “Rather, we trust the greater queer community to respect this intention, leaving the onus on each individual to choose whether or how to respect it.” The Equality Michigan’s petition states: “[W]e reject the premise that transgender women are lesser than, we reject that this belief is a tenet of feminism, and we will no longer respect the ‘intention’ or that ‘leaving the onus on each individual to choose whether or how to respect it’ equates to inclusion.” The petition goes on to say: “[T]he reality is that the lesbian, gay, and bisexual community cannot stand by any longer and pretend that any form of transgender discrimination can be painted over as a feminist or progressive issue.” The petition demands ending the “womyn-born-womyn” intention, asks Vogel to meet with leaders of the transgender community, and asks artists participating this year speak against the policy while on stage. The petition also asks for a boycott of the festival until the intention ends, and states any future artists or vendors participating in the event will be complicit in anti-trans discrimination. The festival will be from August 5 to 10.

Finally Scarlett Johanssen is an actual STAR ! Of course, she can't act for shit.
And no, I’m not talking about his face; life took an effed-up shit on that a long time ago. And then the sun dried it out. And then God sprinkled it with douche-salts and cured it like a piece of jerk-flavored jerky. And then your dog found it in the park and threw you a LIGAF?-face when you screamed “Scooter NOOO! Don’t eat that!” TMZ is reporting that they have the exclusive details of a domestic dispute between noted anal wart, Michael Lohan, and his girlfriend Kate Major at their home in Florida. It all began Monday evening when Kate locked herself in the bathroom after a fight with Michael, and mistook Twitter for 911 by tweeting: Threatening to take our son. What judge would rule for him??? Stuck inside a house with this guy? He has a knife. You know, just typical Twitter stuff. “Just tweeting about that time I locked myself in the bathroom with my son because my boyfriend was brandishing a knife! LULZ #SoRandom”. TMZ then says that a source close to the couple (Michael holding his finger above his lip like a pretend moustache) claims that Kate’s erratic behavior worried Michael enough to call 911 (…right after calling TMZ). When police arrived, Michael told officers that Kate was drunk and he worried for the safety of his son, but neither Michael nor Kate would leave the house. Because being a hysterical attention-starved mess isn’t against the law in Florida, police left the Lohan-Major home without arresting either of those dum-dums. Kate went on to delete the crazy shit she said on Twitter and tweeted a weird apology, while Michael kept hitting TMZ’s number on speed dial until someone picked up so he could sell out his girlfriend as a drunk, crazy mess. Michael told TMZ that Kate is a lie-telling liar who’s drinking has gotten so out of control that she tried to kill herself this weekend and that if she doesn’t get help, he’s going to seek sole custody of their son, Landon. And because I hope it NEVER gets to that, I’m crossing my fingers that there’s a family of kindly swamp gators who will step forward and snatch baby Landon from his stroller in the parking lot of a Waffle House and raise him as one of their own.
Let's resurrect the Visible Penis Line thread!
It seems like we're moving in that direction (slowly), but women have a big head start. One big reason is that pretty much every straight porno movie has some girl-on-girl action. So I think it has mainstream acceptance. Yet any hint of male-male contact, even non-sexual, still seems taboo in straight porn, and is relegated to the bisexual specialty market. Will this ever change? If so, will it be gradual? Will there be a watershed moment?

My partner's daughter, who has several psych. problems, came to visit with her son. He's eight now, and she's over 40. We paid for the trip, because she is chronically broke. That was fine. The kid hasn't been here since he was an infant. She fed him with a spoon and bribed him with money to eat. They insisted on sleeping in the same bed, even though we had purchased and installed another bed. Every time we were out in public he acted out - aiming it at her - with such antics as holding a napkin over his face all through dinner in a restaurant. When she's not around there are no problems. Among her issues is Munchausen's - she has had at least five unnecessary surgeries, has claimed to have cancer, screamed until the doctors induced delivery of her son, and other things. She's now projected it to him, by proxy, and has announced that he is autistic. She and her husband constantly move, and by third grade the kid has been in six schools and lived in four states. He's no more autistic than I am, but has learned he can do whatever he wants with his crazy mother around. And she's announced her intention to divorce and badmouths the father in front of the kid, who she calls her little man who will always be there for her. And they are moving again, and then she wants to move to another state, again. (She's lost every job she's had, including because of theft.) I told the boy, with whom I have a good relationship, that if he had something bothering him he needed to talk about it and we would deal with it. But if he acted out - and he let me know he knew what I meant - we would leave where we were. He agreed. And of course he started smacking his mother in the tit in a restaurant. My partner wasn't there with us. She let it go on after telling him he had hurt her. I said, "That's it," and got up to leave. In the car I told him he had broken our agreement and that his behavior was not acceptable. She said I was going to "shut him completely down" and refused to talk to me. When we got home he leapt out and wouldn't go near me, and she and he sat on the curb, refusing to come in. My partner went to talk to her, she accused me of abusing her son, my partner let loose on her and said if she wanted to go we would pay for the change in airline tickets. She marched in, packed, and left without talking, walking down the street with her bags and the kid. So, we thought we would try one last time, with this visit, to see if we could set a precedent and maybe he could visit by himself in the future. Again, alone there never has been a problem. We were horrified to see what she's doing to him, and he now knows how to play the game, already. In this case ought I to have just shut up and stood as a silent witness to the messes (he would knock drinks over, for example) and antics, and ignore the creepy babying and dishonesty from her? But I couldn't do nothing, and I didn't feel obliged to just let this shit between them be her passive-aggressive control game? We're relieved she's gone - it felt unhealthy and nasty - but we're very concerned about the boy. And he's out of state. (Apparently she found a motel room because someone called us to say how she was posting all happy vacation photos from the zoo and eateries.) Do we just let the fact that she's cut us off now be our exit cue? God, I'm sorry for all this. I've made fun of other long personal posts. But I don't know where our responsibility is and if there is anything we can do in this situation. She even had the kid hospitalized in a psychiatric ward for a week saying he was out of control and dangerous, and then switched back to "He's my baby." And the father is a gambler and completely passive. Thanks.

I have two straight friends who''ve confessed to getting oral sex from men but say they were freaked out about the idea of reciprocating or, worse, taking it up the ass.\ \ On the other hand, I have another "straight" friend who only wants to get fucked - absolutely nothing else - when he hooks up with a guy. He just loves to have his ass opened up and his girlfriend isn''t into it using toys, etc..\ \ Anyone else know similar guys?
Article from Salon today. The most interesting statement in the article is this one: "If there is fire to be found in this great cloud of gay smoke, it would be remarkable. The guy’s been A-list famous since 1983, and there has been no public evidence at all, none, to support the rumors." I've been saying this for years on the DL, to much disdain from fellow DLers. In my view, it is just not plausible that a mega-watt star like TC could be so famous for so long, engage in gay-sex seeking activities, and yet not a shred of evidence can confirm it (or even hint at it). Moreover, the rumor that he is gay seems to exist in a vacuum. It comes out of thin air from people who have just decided he must be gay (and that it's just so obvious), rather than from specific instances of TC being caught or observed in gay-sex seeking behaviors. TC is weird enough on his own from what we are able to observe publicly. Why we need to invent a closet for him to live in is beyond me.
Lots and lots of balls.
Why did the good cousin's parents abandon her? How come no one ever commented that if one was facing the camera, the other one's back was to the camera? I think this is set in Brooklyn, which seems a little too residential to be Brooklyn. Was this filmed during Patty Duke's slut phase? From the hairdos, I am assuming that it's the 60s. Was she a slut in the 60s or the 70s?

My father gave me $15k. I refused to take it, and told him I did not feel right, or good about taking money from him and my mother. He told me to take the money and use it. Buy a car, spend it, start a business. Do something with it. I don't know why he did this, and I know my sisters would shit if they ever found out about it. I've spent the last few days looking online for possible business ideas. All I've found are websites telling people to start a successful website and sell it. Start a website, make it popular and make money with AdSense. Start a website and make money with PPCs, (pay-per-clicks). I can barely navigate Datalounge, so much as start websites. So I'm hoping to get some advice from Dataloungers. No one here bullshits--when it comes to money. So what kind of business should I look into?

His incessant pandering, his condescension and Narcissism have always rubbed me the wrong way. I get that he wants to do some good in this world and he has had to become more "sensitive" than the average straight man, due to the fact that he is partially deaf and his father was killed during a bar brawl over a decade ago. Still, his vanity "foundation" and the way he shamelessly exploits gay men desperate for any morsel of acceptance from hot straight men (especially if they, like Cohen, are always ambiguous about their "intentions" and really flirty), make him appear like a MAJOR creep. Is it so difficult for washed up rugby players to make a living, that they have to fill their pockets by pretending to care about something that doesn't really affect them, and they never really cared about until their careers were dying and they needed to find a new source of income as fast as possible? I just find the whole situation tawdry, and the pathetic queens who flock around this guy like butterflies and defend him like a pack of pubescent girls would defend Harry Styles, are an embarrassment (and the reason why he is loaded and can afford to pay his wife a £120K salary for doing nothing).

Zac Efron didn't recognise himself after putting on 18lbs of muscle for his new movie. The 24-year-old actor bulked up to play a war veteran in 'The Lucky One' and admitted he was impressed with his own willpower. He told Men's Health magazine: 'By the end of the movie I didn't recognise myself. You hear about guys like Christian Bale who dive into it and are really able to transform. I've always wondered if I had the willpower to actually do it. And I'll always have pride around the sense that I can.' Although the 'High School Musical' actor claims he doesn't have any special talents, he thinks his willingness to work hard plays has played a huge part in his successful career. Zac added: 'I could pick up almost anything. If you put it in front of me, I could always find a way to tackle it. [While training for 'The Lucky One'} I'd get this strange sense of power as those weights increased. I was never a natural at anything, but I could always outwork everybody.'

The idea that Mitt Romney may run for president again in 2016 is getting closer to becoming a reality as a Vox Populi Poll found that 70% of Republican primary voters are open to voting again for Romney. Republican primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina were asked if they would consider voting for Romney again for their party’s nomination in 2016. Twenty-three percent of South Carolina primary voters would vote for Mitt Romney again, and 51% would consider it. In New Hampshire, 30% would definitely vote for him, and 47% would consider it. In Iowa, 21% would definitely vote for him, and 53% would consider it. The numbers in each state suggest that Romney already has enough support to win two or maybe all three of the first three primary states on the Republican calendar. Romney’s support has stayed fairly consistent with his 2012 performance. In 2012, Romney got 25% of the caucus vote in Iowa. Today, he is at 21% in the state. Romney got 39% of the 2012 GOP primary vote in New Hampshire, and he is at 30% today. In South Carolina, Romney got 28% of the vote in 2012, and he is sitting at 23% today. Romney’s lingering popularity with Republican primary voters suggests that voters aren’t in love with any of their possible options. Scandals have sunk Chris Christie and Scott Walker. Rand Paul remains a Paul, and his foreign policy views are completely out of step with most of the party. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have past support of immigration reform working against them, and the rest of the potential candidates hail from the Ted Cruz kooky wing of the party. A glance through the alternatives makes it easy to understand why Romney remains popular with so many Republican primary voters. It might seem unbelievable, but Mr. 47% could be the least damaged Republican option out there. The big money voices in the GOP have been trying to cut a deal to clear the field and hand Romney the nomination, but they may not even need to do it. A path is forming for Mitt Romney to run for a third time, and win back to back Republican nominations. Romney would lose to Hillary Clinton by an even larger margin than he lost to President Obama, but Republicans in early voting states believe that he is their best option in what could be a historically bad field of candidates. Republican voters are willing to hand the presidency to Hillary Clinton by returning to Mitt Romney as their nominee.

Oh God, she's still a delusional mess! In a new interview with the San Francisco Examiner, Jackson talks about his upcoming part in Ryan Murphy’s HBO pilot about open relationships. Jackson, himself in sober recovery, will play a meth addict. Teasing the new HBO show, the actor, who has already appeared nude onstage, admits he has no caveats when it comes to getting naked for his HBO role "only" if it’s “germane to the story.” In September, Jackson filed for divorce. A month later, he publicly began dating a fellow actor. At the same time, Jackson shaved his head, grew a mustache and got Elvis Presley lyrics tattooed on his arm. The media labeled the drastic transition for the once clean-cut actor as a sign of a midlife crisis. “I have had quite a difficult and transitional year. Despite this newfound reputation as a 38-year-old bad boy, Jackson said settling down and raising a family is something he’s always wanted.“I have known I was going to be a dad as long as I can remember,” he said. Addressing the daily barrage of twitter and Instagram selfies Jackson has been posting of himself kissing his new boyfriend. Cheyenne tagged his latest selfies WeAreWellAwareHowAnnoyingWeAre

They don't update to the true number of new posts. I usually just have to refresh the entire page through my browser mechanism, which is a hassle because then I have to go into each thread I've starred and see if there is actually anything new.
Dear Feminists (this includes libfems, radfems, terfs, fun feminists, the whole fractured lot out there…) This may come as a surprise to many feminists out there but I have to remind them that gay men are men (or males). But from reading everything written by them it obviously appears that they don’t know this. Feminists can bash straight men all they want. I don’t care either way. I’m not a pro-men, MRA type and I don’t or rarely see eye to eye with them. I can’t relate to straight men. They’re not part of my life and I honestly don’t find them interesting in any way, shape or form. So this is where this text is coming from. As I read as these feminists rants and tumblr posts everywhere, feminists only see one type of men: men. In their eyes, men are one big monolithic entity with no complex variety to it. They can never make the distinction between the gay men (or even bi men) and heterosexual men. ‘For women, all men are potential rapists.’ No, gay men don’t rape women. It should therefore read as ‘For women, all heterosexual men are potential rapists.” By not making the distinction between straight men and gay/bi men or gender fluid men, feminists repeatedly erase the existence of gay men since they don’t rape women or are for the most part not part of their problem. This is NOT an oversight. Feminists, seething with anger, apparently see all men alike. Or they don’t see gay men, like society, as masculine or even men. They see them as effeminate, quasi-women. There are enough gay men out there for them to realize that we do exist but apparently it’s not the case. I’m sure everyone will say something like “Of course, gay men don’t rape women. When we say ‘men’ we mean straight men in general.” But gay men are men, in general. This lack of distinction just doesn’t wash anymore, certainly in our pc world right now where everyone is so touchy with labels. It seems gay men don’t count or they fall into a terrible blind-spot feminists don’t care to notice is clearly there. The problem is widespread and there’s an endless number of examples on Tumblr and on the internet but I’ll choose just a few examples to demonstrate my point: “I’m so angry that the sex-pos movement is encouraging women - who already experience internalised misogyny and learned submission - to celebrate sexualised inequality and to embrace their internalisation of female sexual masochism as “empowerment.” It’s so manipulative and scary and disgusting. And men are fucking loving it.” It should actually read : “And **straight** men are fucking loving it.” — “what better proof of patriarchys existence is there than women that claim to be “empowered” by giving men boners.” should read as: “what better proof of patriarchys existence is there than women that claim to be “empowered” by giving **straight** men boners.” —— Instead of using only ‘men’ you can use: straight men str8 men strhate men heterosexual men het men whatever… but don’t just use ‘men’ ‘kay? So, in closing, feminists you can bash straight men with all your heart’s content, I don’t care, but please don’t lump gay men, heck even bi and gender fluid men, into the same simplistic monolithic all-encompassing ‘men’ category in your writings. Please make sure there’s a distinction: i.e. gay men don’t rape women! It makes you all appear clueless, inline with patriarchy’s definition of masculinity, insensitive to the existence of gay men, who, in the end, are men too.

He is friends with Jeff because Jeff is Harry's agent, he is supposed to introduce him to a lot of important people in LA. Harry wants to be known as a songwriter, he wants to become 'friends' with people who can help him become famous as an individual when the time is there. You can keep calling Jeff his boyfriend, but that doesn't make it the truth. The only truth is that Harry is a smart ass who knows exactly how to charm the right people into doing a lot for him. Even if those people have their own agenda as well. Harry has talked his way right into the Azoff family. What more does he need? Well, maybe a secret girl- or boyfriend who loves him for who he is, and not for how famous he is. Someone who doesn't care about him being in LA all the time. So this person must have the possibility to see him, even though he is always staying at different places around the world. Someone whom he wants to stay faithful to, even though he knows that he could sleep with a lot of beautiful people. But why would a guy his age want to do that? Does that mean that his love interest is famous as well, and that he/she can pull the same card? Open your eyes, there is only one person who would fit in his life right now. He has never made a secret of his feelings.

It's kind of a shame that there's no gay exploitation film subgenre - so here's one I've made up. (Since imaginary films are less bound by budget concerns than real ones, it has quite a name cast). 3 lowlife criminals (Jamie Bell, Daniel Radcliffe and Jack O'Connell) kidnapp a business tycoon's son (Logan Lerman, though I also like one of the Sprouse twins as a casting alternative) in order to extract money. Bell is the cold sociopathic leader, O'Connell the boisterous hot-headed thug, and Radcliffe, while still quite ruthless, is the most "normal" of the gang, and more of a follower. They hold him captive in a hideaway house, always wearing bandanas. The way they treat him is marked by class resentment. In addition, O'Connell calls him "pretty boy", saying things like "He reminds me of that kid who was put in our cell, remember? We had a lot of fun with him", then asking him "Would you like to know what we did to him?". Bell tells him not to touch him, though. But when Bell and Radcliffe leave O'Connell alone with him the next day, they return to find Lerman bent over a table, crying, with his pants down at his feet, as O'Connell, with his back to them, is doing up his belt and cheerfully saying "You were awesome, baby - my dick's in pieces". Bell gets angry with him at first, but then, to Lerman's horror, decides that now that he's been "defiled" already, there's not much harm in him and Radcliffe having a turn too. So they rape him as well. They position themselves on both sides of him, and Bell makes him suck his cock as Radcliffe fucks him in the ass; then finally fucks him too. From now on Lerman is regularly raped, both anally and orally, by all 3 (seen in a montage sequence of facial closeups, with some shots of grimy hands on clean ones, or grabbing shoulders or hair, thrown in). One day as Radcliffe is fucking him from the front, Lerman reaches up and tears the bandana from his face, then French-kisses him (making him cum on the spot). He tells the baffled Radcliffe that he's come to enjoy the sex with him - much as he hates it with the other two - and has even fallen for him. He goes on to say that he hates his father, who plans to disinherit him, and that he wants Radcliffe to kill his partners once they have the ransom, then set off with him. Once he's processed it all Radcliffe agrees to it. The next day, when they're having sex again, Radcliffe is being tender and gentle with him, but Lerman tells him that he wants it rough like before - so Radcliffe slaps him and gives it to him hard, leading them both to noisy orgasms. Afterwards, Lerman tells him that he doesn't want to have sex with the other 2 again, and begs him to protect him from them. But Radcliffe explains he can't do that, as it would raise too much suspicion. When he leaves the room, Bell is already waiting outside, entering as he leaves. The door closes behind Bell saying "Hands and knees, bitch." Finally the ransom money is dropped. The transfer works to plan, and the 3 take it back to the hideaway. On arrival, O'Connell says he wants to have some more fun with Lerman while he has the chance (it's unclear if they're planning to release or kill him). When he's gone, Bell calmly tells Radcliffe that he's been planning to get rid of O'Connell for a while, and now would be a good opportunity. Radcliffe takes up the suggestion - but not before shooting Bell himself first. Then he enters the room where O'Connell is doing Lerman from behind, both kneeling on the floor. When O'Connell sees him he says that he can use the boy's mouth. Radcliffe steps up in front of Lerman. When O'Connell, his voice already strained, says "Open your mouth, you whore", Radcliffe shoots him in the head. Afterward Lerman, still on his knees, starts caressing, then fellating, Radcliffe's gun. Finally he opens his fly and gives him a blowjob. Radcliffe is nearing orgasm (closeup on his face), and just as he says "I'm gonna cu..", Lerman blows his brains out from below with his own gun. Then he takes off with the money, leaving the 3 corpses of his kidnappers behind.

An interesting story all the way through. A couple of highlights: [quote]BuzzFeed spoke to nearly two dozen former TMZ employees, and it’s clear that Bieber’s tape was not the only near-priceless piece of dirt in the proverbial TMZ vault. (TMZ did not respond to multiple requests for comment.) According to these ex-employees, the sealed testimonies from the Michael Jackson molestation trial hide there as does footage of various celebrities — Bieber, Lohan, Travolta — behaving badly. The vault isn’t a secret at TMZ — even the lowest on the staff ladder have heard whispers of its existence. As to what goes up on the site and what stays vaulted, that’s a finer, more esoteric calculus — and one in which celebrities and their publicists have come to live in fear. [quote]Levin, according to one source, is “one of those gay men who’s just never been able to get along with women.” He’s stacked his organization with young, bro-ish men who help make the tone and feel of the website masculine and definitively non-gay. It’s not that Levin’s homophobic — he’s spoken openly about triumphing over his fears of being outed in his early career, and how he’s operated as a gay man in the contemporary mediascape — so much as he’s savvy as to the ways in which any hint of effeminacy on the site could repel the target demographic.

With the exception of purse dogs and poodles, this seems to be true, and I always wondered why. \ \ Cats are quiet, stealthy, passive-aggressive, unpredictable, cold, fast, cruel, agile... \ \ Dogs are loud, in your face, loyal, warm/affectionate, aggressive, playful, fierce, strong, powerful... \ \ As Michelle Pfeiffer said, because men and women started out on unequal footing, women have had to adapt in a struggle to compensate for their physical weakness, relatively speaking, and they did so just as the cat has in relation to the dog.\ \ Likewise, we have also had to compensate in relation to straight men, who have always had the upper hand, thus, the reason we gravitate toward cats and the more feminine dog. \ \ Yes?\ \ I''m actually a big dog person but I''m more or less indistinguishable, but in general it''s gay men are cat or little dog men.

Americans have a debt problem. An estimated 1 in 3 adults with a credit history -- or 77 million people -- are so far behind on some of their debt payments that their account has been put "in collections." That's a key finding from a new Urban Institute study. It examined non-mortgage debt, including credit card bills, car loans, medical bills, child support payments and even parking tickets. The debt in collections ranged from as little as $25 to a whopping $125,000. But the average amount owed was $5,200. Geographically, no area of the country is untouched. Among the states, Nevada had the highest percentage of residents with debt in collections -- 47% - as well as the highest average amount owed - $7,198. That was helped in part by the Las Vegas metro area, where 49% of residents had debt in collections. By contrast, North Dakota had the lowest percentage of residents with debt in collections at just 19%, while the District of Columbia had the lowest average dollar amount owed per person at $3,547. Regionally, the South had the highest percentage of people -- as high as 44% in some parts; while the Northeast had the lowest at less than 30%. And among the 100 largest metropolitan areas, Minneapolis-St. Paul had the lowest percentage of residents with debt in collections at 20%, while McAllen, Texas claimed the highest percentage at 51%. 'It's too expensive to go to school' At least with credit cards, debt won't go into collections unless it's more than 6 months past due. But time frames can differ from place to place when talking about debt like parking tickets and medical bills. Once it is categorized as in collections, however, it can follow one of three courses, according to the Urban Institute report. The creditor can charge it off and sell it to a debt buyer, put the account into default, or seek to collect what's owed through an in-house department or a third-party debt collector. In any of those cases, however, the cost to the consumer is high and long-lasting. "[It] can harm credit scores, which can tip employers' hiring decisions, restrict access to mortgages, and even increase insurance costs," said Caroline Ratcliffe, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute. Indeed, the case can stay on your credit report for up to 7 years even if you've paid off the debt. And it will lower your credit score for years - most dramatically when it first goes into collections status and then less so as time goes on, said a spokesman for the credit-score software company FICO. Of course, you also do your credit score no favors when your payment is merely "past due" by 30 to 180 days. An estimated 5.3% of adults -- or 1 out of 20 with a credit file - were in this predicament in 2013, according to the Urban Institute report. The study, conducted with Encore Capital Group, is based on a random sample of 7 million people's TransUnion credit files in 2013.

I feel sorry for the guy, actually. At 70 he seemed to have finally settled down and found happiness with L'Wren Scott. He is intelligent, talented, and his children are successful. The tour in Australia has now been cancelled. I mean think what you want of the guy, but it must be shocking to find out your girlfriend has hung herself a world away. Oddly Faithfull also attempted suicide while Mick J. was in Australia.

Hello loungers It's going to be my first time crossing the pond, as NYC-based friends of mine have persuaded me to spend 9 days in their city in the first half of September. Now, I have been searching high and low to find accomodation that doesn't look like shit straight from the '80s while still having to fork up $250 per night - without much luck, so far. When visiting a city, one does not want to be too far removed from the center (Manhattan, Brooklyn). Some areas are apparently a no-go or straight up ghetto (this coming from my friends who are born and raised in the city). My question: could anyone recommend me something? Booking.com and airbnb have little to nothing to offer. I don't mind paying $150 per night, but $250 is ridiculous.. Thanks in advance!

The investors in Woody Allen’s new musical are sweating bullets — “Bullets Over Broadway.” Just when it looked as if Allen’s new $15 million musical had a pretty clear shot at box-office and Tony-Award glory, the New York Times published Dylan Farrow’s essay accusing Allen of molesting her when she was a kid. Who knows if the charges are true? Allen refuted them in his own essay in the paper. Clearly, the guy has a dark side: In “Manhattan,” he’s 40 and sleeping with a teenage Mariel Hemingway. He gets away with it only because he is, at least on-screen, sexually innocuous. In real life, he was never prosecuted for the crime Dylan says he committed. And while his marriage to Soon-Yi is creepy, it’s not illegal. But the court doesn’t buy tickets to Woody Allen shows. New Yorkers do. And the investors in “Bullets Over Broadway” are fretting that the scandal will damage their show. From what I’ve learned, they should be worried. “Bullets Over Broadway” was selling at a decent clip until Dylan’s accusations became public. Sales have slowed down this week, and the advance now stands at just $4 million. Any hopes that the show would open April 10 with $10 million in the bank have been dashed. “They’ll be lucky if they get to $6 million by opening night,” says a source. All is not lost, however. There are, I’m sure, many New Yorkers who will not buy a ticket to a Woody Allen movie, let alone a Woody Allen musical, on principle. In their eyes, he’s a child-molesting creep, and that’s the end of it. But there are other New Yorkers (and I’m in this camp), who, though we think he’s weird and would cross to the other side of the street if we saw him coming toward us, still go to his movies and watch masterpieces like “Annie Hall” at least once a year. My sense is that most Broadway insiders — that is, Tony voters — fall in the latter category. “I love Woody Allen movies,” says a Tony voter. “Woody Allen himself? Yuck. But I’ll judge the show on its merits. If it’s good, really good, it can win the Tony for Best Musical. If it’s bad, or just so-so, I think voters will look for something else to get behind.” The onus, say several insiders, is on Susan Stroman, who’s directing and choreographing the musical. A Tony winner for “The Producers,” she’s a beloved figure on Broadway. If “Bullets Over Broadway” is good, she’ll reap the rewards and just might pull the show over the finish line for Best Musical. But if her work isn’t top-notch, Tony voters will go for something else, “If/Then,” perhaps, or “After Midnight.” “This is Susan’s show to lose,” says another Tony voter. “If her work’s half as good as it was on ‘The Producers,’ the show has a shot. If it’s not, it’s dead. I don’t think any of us could support a bad or even mediocre show by Woody Allen.” Allen can rule out any chance of winning the Tony for Best Book — and not because he’s an accused child molester. Those who’ve read his script say it’s little more than his screenplay run through his typewriter. “It’s not been reinvented for the stage the way Mel Brooks reinvented ‘The Producers,’ ” says a source. “Bullets Over Broadway” begins previews next month. Given the attention surrounding Allen’s scandalous life, you can be sure the same reporters who covered the first preview of “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark” — that is to say, me and Patrick Healy — will be there. We won’t judge Allen’s private life. But we will judge his show.
Hmmmm. What do we think of this?
The hot detectives of the 80s battle it out...
The Karen Walker thread reminded me of how many great lines the writers crafted for her. The writing was excellent in general and had hilarious bitchy one-liners; and some episodes are certainly classics (like the spelling bee at the gay bar, or the final episode where Beverly Lesley dies by being blown off the balcony).\ \ But the Will character was so dislikeable and unpleasant. And though I like Sean Hayes, the Jack character, which could sometimes be very funny, was such a collection of nasty stereotypes about gay men.
“The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.”

Frank Skinner is a popular English comedian, and has been doing a weekly radio show for a few years now (you can get it as a podcast). There are no guests or preordained topics, just a freeform chat with his 2 co-hosts, but it's one of the most consistently entertaining and funny podcasts I've found. The reason why I'm posting about it here is not so much Frank himself but rather one of the 2 sidekicks, Emily Dean; she's a fashion editor in her day job, and has a very Datalounge sensibility - her partly self-ironic snobbishness often reminds me of this place.
Post your pics of love and affection.
I think many of you are going to deny it but it is true, straight women and gay men are very much alike because we are all attracted to men. And as such we are basically defined by our preferences. An example of this is that the majority of anorexics and bulimics are female with a small minority of males. The men who are anorexics or bulimics are predominantly gay or bisexual men. And the reason for this is because there is an aspiration to look nice among homosexual and bisexual men, a sentiment that is not present or exists to a lesser degree among heterosexual men. And the reason being for homosexual men, their object of affection are men who are by nature lookist(There's research to back this up, by the way) You see, we are all defined by our likes (men), since we are so much alike, why do you look down on us and hate us so much? I mean we are more likely to know how you feel.

The Holocaust deniers must be jumping for joy... Did the Nazis make lampshades out of human skin? June 4, 2004 Dear Cecil: Now, I'm no Holocaust denier. I firmly believe the Holocaust occurred and the Nazis committed great atrocities during WWII. What I have a hard time believing is the accusation that Nazis made lampshades from human skin. Genocide is repulsive, but making lampshades out of human skin is more in line with what crazy serial killers do. I can see Nazis experimenting on Jews for their research and stealing their gold teeth for money, but what would they do with a lampshade made from human skin? Bring it back home as a gift to the hausfrau? Is this just an urban legend born out of Allied propaganda, or is there any truth to this? — Andres, via e-mail Cecil replies: At first I was skeptical about your skepticism, Andres. You're saying that methodically exterminating five to six million people, performing bizarre experiments on them, and plundering their bodies is, at some level, comprehensible, but making lampshades out of their skin — now that's crazy. Personally I wasn't seeing any great leap, depravitywise. However, on investigation, I think you may be right. While the Nazis kept many grisly mementos of their victims, including tattooed skin, the lampshade claim may be a myth. By far the best-known account of human souvenirs comes from the camp at Buchenwald. Here's the story as best I can piece it together: (1) Even by Nazi standards, Buchenwald was out of control. Its original commandant, Karl Koch, was by all accounts corrupt and cruel. Inmates loathed him and his apparently sadistic wife, Ilse, whom they dubbed "the Witch of Buchenwald." Meanwhile, medical personnel were keeping human souvenirs — in 1942 SS higher-ups ordered them to quit making "gifts" such as shrunken heads. A story arose that Ilse had had tattooed prisoners killed so lampshades and other articles could be made from their skin. (2) In 1943 the SS conducted an internal investigation and tried the Kochs on charges including embezzlement and incitement to murder. (Karl had arranged for the shooting of two inmates who knew he'd contracted syphilis — the SS brass, if not necessarily the rank and file, paid at least lip service to the notion that prisoners weren't to be killed frivolously.) The SS judge, Konrad Morgen, found Karl guilty and ordered his execution, but acquitted Ilse. Later at her war crimes trial Morgen testified that a thorough search of her home found no human-skin lampshades or the like. Ilse didn't live at Buchenwald after 1943. (3) Shortly after U.S. troops liberated Buchenwald in 1945, director Billy Wilder made a documentary about the camp to publicize Nazi atrocities. A widely circulated still photo from the film showed a table covered with preserved human remains, including two shrunken heads; several pieces of what appears to be tattooed skin; and an ordinary-looking table lamp. The film's narration says that among the items found was "a lampshade, made of human skin, made at the request of an SS officer's wife." The press went nuts, and soon the lampshade became emblematic of Nazi barbarism. (4) Ilse Koch and others from Buchenwald were tried in 1947 for war crimes. Prosecutors submitted as evidence a shrunken head and three pieces of tattooed human skin but apparently no lampshade. Much of the testimony against Koch was hearsay, although at least one former inmate said he'd seen a tattooed-skin lampshade. Koch was convicted, but her life sentence was commuted on review, in part because of doubts about the witnesses' credibility. She was later tried by a German court, again sentenced to life, and committed suicide in prison in 1967. (5) Five pieces of tattooed skin are kept at the National Museum of Health and Medicine (NMHM) and one at the National Archives (NA), both federal facilities in the D.C. area. All six items are from Buchenwald; three have been positively identified as human, and another is now being tested. The NA item was once labeled "human skin lampshade," but an archivist there says it has no perforations or other indications of such use. Two of the NMHM items have holes on the left side as though from a hole punch. A third, which is large and irregularly shaped, has pinholes around the perimeter at one- to three-centimeter intervals. How the holes got there is unknown, but a photo shows the skins stuck up on an exhibit board at Ilse Koch's 1947 trial. The NMHM curator reserves judgment, but to me nothing suggests these items were part of a lampshade. The lamp from the movie still has vanished; however, as photographed it doesn't match the lamp described by witnesses at the trial — it has no visible markings at all. Absent compelling evidence to the contrary, I tend to the view that appalled liberation forces heard the survivors' tales, found the tattooed-skin souvenirs, and thought: Whoa, lampshades. In short, the story may be a legend. Deniers will now claim: That proves the Holocaust didn't happen! No, it doesn't, losers. All it means is that, even in a gamy business like this, it's still possible to separate fiction from fact. Late addition Occasionally you hear about human-skin lampshades in private collections. I won't claim to have surveyed the field, but I did speak to Norm Sauer, a professor of forensic anthropology at Michigan State University. Professor Sauer was part of a team of experts that a few years ago examined a number of alleged human souvenirs that had been donated to the Holocaust Memorial Center, now located in Farmington Hills, MI. Among the items were a lampshade (and it really was a lampshade, consisting of panels on a wire frame), two chess sets, and a bar of soap, along with some collections of ashes, bone fragments, and so on. Although some of the bone fragments did appear to be human, most and possibly all of the household objects were not. The chess sets were made of animal but not human bone; the lampshade possibly was deer or goat but not human skin. Tests of the soap were inconclusive. (The alleged practice of rendering human fat into soap is a story unto itself; the common opinion now seems to be that while it may have been made experimentally once, human soap was never produced in quantity.) You never know what will turn up, but without tests, don't assume that just because a lampshade or other item is claimed to be of human origin, it is. Update In The Lampshade: A Holocaust Detective Story from Buchenwald to New Orleans (2010), New York magazine contributing editor Mark Jacobson tells of a lampshade discovered in the wreckage of post-Katrina New Orleans that testing showed to be made of human skin. (Here's an excerpt.) According to a Publishers Weekly review quoted on Amazon, "evidence linking it to famous allegations that Nazis made lampshades from concentration camp victims is scanty, and Holocaust museum curators dismiss such claims." — Cecil Adams

- When I realized Mexico wasn't part of the United States! (hey, I was Kevin!) - Realizing that vampire bats were real - in 10th grade I went to school with a piece of snickers melted on the back of my shorts and everyone I know from high school calls me Shitstain even my mom
It's strange how the 70s are to us what the 30s were to 70s. Misty, watercolor memories, indeed.
I'm counting on DL to point out the differences. I've avoided getting involved with bisexual men for years - not for any issue with their own sexual orientation but because, based on my experiences, I've always felt they were different from gay men. But I met a really great guy and we're very attracted to one another. So I thought I'd break my rule and give it a go. We've had a few dates and have a lot of chemistry. I've made it clear that I'm not a bottom, that I'm versatile, that I'm gay and that I'm a grown man. I feel strongly that his sexuality shouldn't define mine in a limiting way. I've been pretty persuasive about the joys of ass play and I haven't been aggressive and have promised to take my time with him, etc. His comfort level is my highest concern. And he has a gorgeous ass. But he's a bit of a tease, a bit coy. He says things like, "If you're lucky, maybe I'll let you do this...," etc. I suppose a certain amount of negotiation is to be expected but it makes think what I've always thought about this equation - bisexual men just want to control everything. Any experience here?
I want to fuck him.
OK, it's not NYSD, but look at the couple of photos of this place. Not for the faint of heart!!
I keep it groomed nice and short but I'm thinking about going all the way. What do you guys think? (I'm super well built and have a big one, if it makes a difference.)
Am I too old to wear colorful athletic shoes? I'm in my late forties, good shape, fast walk 5 miles a day, etc. I've always bought plain old white workout shoes before, but I'm not getting the urge to go for color. I know I shouldn't care what other people think, but I'd be self-conscious if I thought "everyone" saw me as an old guy trying way too hard. If I wore some crazy color, would I be a major eye-roll to younger people?

I need the name of this song please. The lyrics are as follows: "So trust me here, no one can be trusted, it's the same the world over...let's plant some gulags, roses with their thorns...bitter and sweet, clinging together in every human form. So good luck and Godspeed we're finally on our own." I tried Google but had zero luck.

Attached is a history of the Speedo from an Australian point of view. This paragraph caught my eye:%0D\ %0D\ ''American men have an aversion to displaying their bodies in public,'' one German visitor blogged. ''Ever since gay men came out of the closet in the ''80s and showed us who they were, straight American men went into the closet to show us what they weren''t. Before the late ''80s men wore shorter shorts and swimwear was short and fitted. Men used to be so free and liberated then. Now they are scared.''%0D\ %0D\ Amen! Americans need to get over their body aversion. The full article attached.

They always shoot in these massive houses, uh, mansions. Are these their homes? Are these porn directors rich? I mean, can they be making THAT much money from a shitty porn site? Also, if it is their house, do they have special bedrooms for the fuck scenes? I mean, do they actually let the guys fuck on their living room sofa?
Fabulous show! Just saw them in Los Angeles. Adam Lambert is perfect as a stand-in for Freddie Mercury. He twirled, strutted and preened like Cher imitating Liza Minnelli. He worked the runway like Naomi Campbell circa 1995. And he sang/screamed the sh*t out of those songs. Queen performed all of their best-known songs. There were even very nice Freddie Mercury visuals throughout the show, including Adam and Freddie duetting part of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Crowd was 60% for Queen and 40% for Adam and everyone left happy. It was the absolute opposite of the train wreck that you vicious DL b*tches predicted.

I took a cooking class and I thought the chef was a hottie. I saw him in his t shirt before he put on the white coat and felt lust in my heart. He did not really flirt back but seemed receptive with smiles etc. \ \ When he left the room for a minute one of other students who knew him told me that he was straight and very married. \ \ After the class I apologized and he said that one should never apologize for being complimentary and kind. I think he meant it. \ \ I wish everyone felt this way.

WWE superstar Darren Young just dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ, he's gay ... and no, this isn't part of the act. Darren was at LAX Wednesday when we asked whether a gay wrestler could succeed in WWE, and Darren laughed, saying, "Absolutely. Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I'll tell you right now, I'm gay. And I'm happy. I'm very happy." For the record, Darren is now the first openly gay wrestler ever at WWE ... and the first headlining wrestler ever to come out while still signed to a major promotion. Other pro wrestlers have been rumored to be gay, but that's it ... just rumors. Bottom line: this is big, big news. For all its chauvinism and testosterone-driven bravado, coming out in WWE is tantamount to coming out in the NFL. Of course, wrestling is a little different, particularly because of how physical it is, and how little clothing is involved -- but Darren is completely unfazed.
The website says: There's nothing quite like the sexy, silly, naked, stupid bromances of the "Pad". It's a bunch of mostly-straight, ab-tastically hot, college-age guys living in an enormous fake-Tuscan mansion in Arizona. I don't believe they're straight.
I'm one of the gays that also love watching straight pron because of the guys. Seeing the other thread about straight pron stars, I thought I'd start one with the link to who is considered the hottest by this particular website. I would add James Dean and Seth Gamble to the list. Some of the ones listed have also done gay pron . . . for instance the ever-hot Wolf Hudson. Pics from the thread are not naked but may not be safe for work either. Enjoy!
I think I may be even more gay now

In case you don't recall, he's the guy who goes out and does on-the-street bits for Bill O'Reilly. Furthermore, can one even be hot if he's a Conservative? I just happened to notice that he has nice narrow hips for a 36-year-old and thought, "I'll ask the boys tonight." Incidentally, Michael *sniff* Rosenkrantz (link) does NOT think so.

I've watched this twice this week and think it's a great film. (Using the word 'enjoyable' is probably not one to use for this movie, however.) I have a question that's been bugging me about the ending. The ending is, of course, a SPOILER, so I'll continue inside. I would really like anyone else who has seen this rather wonderful film to tell me their thoughts.

Worked a late night shift and my only dining option tonight was a McDonald's in a sort of ghettoie part of San Francisco on a Friday night. The place was packed, with the usual mixture of SF people from every culture, ethnicity, and gender combo across the spectrum. But mostly students and working-class. At night, in public places, it gets very male. I observed the populace as I waited for my Big Mac. Two young dudes, who to me are clearly a pair of straight buds, probably housemates with their textbooks and shitty sports t-shirts, were waiting in line. "Number 45!". "Oh, that's YOU, sweetness!" And the dude grabbed the other dude's ass to scoot him up to pick up his order. They were having fun with each other, were into each other, and not trying to shock anyone or be hipster ironic. At least that's the vibe I got. They're probably stuck with each other as roomates with incredibly high rents. They have chosen to be mutually affectionate. My nephew and his housemate "brahs" always refer to each other as "my lover" "my handsome prince" or "my fine Sir". Next in line was an amazingly beautiful middle-eastern man with perfect complexion, bright green eyes, long eyelashes, and fussy facial hair. You could smell his sexy cologne from a mile away. He could have been wearing makeup. I wanted to fuck him hard right there on the floor and I'm a bottom. Heard from a group of black jocks: "Oh, shit. Now, I could go for THAT! Don't mean I be gay or shit but... serious!". Another jock: "he prettier than you, bitch...". These guys practically fought over who would bring this handsome Arab guy napkins, ketchup, and straws. My take on this scene -- and I see it again and again with young guys around town -- is that none of them has ever sucked cock, or wants to. But they are appalled at the stupidity of homophobia. And they're not afraid to be affectionate with each other because life is generally claustrophobic and difficult in this city. Being thought of as gay is the least of their worries. I've never lived anywhere else, but this is a big change, even for here.Would like to think that these attitudes are happening with younger people everywhere else.
Several years ago I was a movie extra, which was fun and it kinda paid the bills. I was working late on set and a few extras and crew and I decided to go out for drinks after we wrapped up. A British actor/extra friend wanted to know if he could invite a friend of his who was lonely and a bit blue. I said, 'sure, why not.' When everyone arrived at the bar, my British friend introduced his friend, who was also (at that time) a struggling British actor, named Andrew. To be honest, I wasn't impressed. He seemed lonely, depressed, needy, and I got the impression he hadn't showered for several days. He had a beard and his hair looked like it hadn't been combed or washed in weeks. He was nice enough though, though he seemed like he was already a bit drunk. I took pity on him really. We chatted for most of the evening, and after I told him that I was gay, he mentioned that he was "bisexual" - having had girlfriends, but the occasional fling with a guy - for him it was "finding love wherever I can find it." He also said that he and his girlfriend weren't working out at the moment and he would really like to find a horny guy, perhaps that night. He was rather clingy and would follow me wherever I went. If I decided to go to the bar area, sure enough, a minute later Andrew would follow. If I decided to walk over to a table, yep, he followed. He was very puppy doggish. He even invited me to dance a little, which we did, and we even started to be touchy-feely with each other. He even whispered a few sexually explicit things to me. I guess I was leading him on a bit. I rather lost interest in him when a very stunning guy walked into the bar. I decided to try to pick this Adonis up, and, truth be told, kinda forgot all about my new English friend. I chatted with this surfer guy for about 10 minutes, before Andrew butted in -in a rather needy angsty way. This obviously made things uncomfortable, and, unfortunately, it soured me getting in the pants of the Greek God. I was rather pissed at Andrew and well... sorta told him I thought he ruined that conversation. Andrew, looking sad said "oh, I thought you were interested in me!" and huffed off a bit rejected and jealous. To be honest, I felt bad. The next day, our mutual friend invited us both to lunch. It was really awkward. I could tell Andrew was pissed at me. I apologized to him for not giving him the attention I guess he thought he deserved, and for me being rude. He warmed up again after my apology, but made it clear that he and this girl he was dating may work out, maybe. I took this as a hint that he was no longer interested in me. My impression was that he was extremely sensitive, gentle, emotional, and rather clingy. I ran into him again, perhaps twice more socially, but forgot about him until he was in a Facebook movie a few years later. He was certainly more successful than I was!!

I’ve kissed other dudes in my life, so it’s not really a big deal. I have this conversation a lot because there is still a lot of homophobia in the world and in adult films, when you’re sharing a scene with another dude and a lady, sometimes certain things come up: gay this, gay that. The way I define gay or homosexuals is a sexual attraction to a member of the same sex. I fully believe that people can engage in any sort of activity. Like I hate basketball, but I’ve played basketball before and it doesn’t make me a professional basketball player. That [gay-sex] scene was a very important part of the movie, because it kind of represents the power switch. I think Bret was really worried I wouldn’t want to do it. It’s part of the script. It’s not like it’s real life. I’m not shooting a porno where I have to get physically erect and have sex with a dude. [...] When I was younger, I think I was like 15 or something, I would have a moment where I was like, I don’t know, maybe I like guys, maybe I like girls, what is life? I experimented and I never really… I’m not attracted to dudes. I kinda sometimes feel bad about that, I feel like I’m supposed to be because I hang out in San Francisco so much and people make me feel really bad for being a straight, white dude and I feel like I’m doing something wrong for being a straight white dude.” – Porn actor and Lindsay Lohan’s The Canyons co-star James Deen discussing gay sex at length with Gawker.
James Deen Has No Problem With Gay Sex, “Feels Bad” About Being Straight
Mine is the Dyatlov Pass incident.
Did it get that controversial? I'm ending Day 2 and I don't know what's worse -- the caffeine withdrawal or the lack of solid food. I may cave tomorrow and end it.
It starts tonight (7/13). From Guillermo del Toro and the guy who does Bate Motel. Starring Corey Stoll, the man with the biggest dildo collection I've ever seen! I'm interested. It's a vampire story that's NOT about some kind of love triangle.
I refrigerate my white wine, my whiskey, and my bourbon, and I keep my gin and my vodka in my freezer. I leave rum and red wine at room temperature in a cabinet.
New tenants moved into a house next door to me. They have been dealing drugs from the house since they moved in. I don't want this in my neighborhood and especially not next door. Police are aware of the situation, but can't do anything unless they are caught in the act. I have informed the landlord and he said he doesn't know how he can kick them out, but he knows they are dealing and doesn't like it. Very frustrating.
In an intensive care unit in Memphis, a virus ravages the body of a 7-year-old who’s in heart and kidney failure. He vomits blood several times an hour as his family gathers in vigil. In a cabinet in Durham, North Carolina, there’s a drug that could likely help Josh Hardy, but the drug company won’t give it to him. They’re adamant that spending the time to help Josh and others like him will slow down their efforts to get this drug on the market. Helping Josh, they say, means hurting others. When asked how he will feel if Josh dies — and he’s in critical condition, so sadly that could happen soon — the president of the company that makes the drug doesn’t hesitate to answer. “Horrible,” said Kenneth Moch. He would feel horrible and heartbroken. But still, he said there’s no way he’s going to change his mind. There’s no way he’s going to give Josh this drug. ‘We’re begging them’ It’s called “compassionate use,” but sometimes it feels anything but compassionate. Here’s the way it works: According to the Food and Drug Administration, if someone has a serious or immediately life-threatening disease and has tried and failed other available treatments, they can ask a drug company for an experimental drug, one that they’re still studying and has not yet been approved by the FDA. Companies often say yes: The FDA approved 974 compassionate use arrangements in fiscal year 2013. But pharmaceutical companies often say no, as they did to Josh Hardy. “Our son will die without this drug,” said Todd Hardy, Josh’s father. “We’re begging them to give it to us.” So now, like many families, the Hardys have turned to the media, Facebook, and change.org to pressure the drug company to change its mind. Countless members of “Josh’s army” have responded with angry tweets to @chimerix, telling them to “open their hearts,” asking the executives how they can sleep at night. “Everyone is watching,” one tweeter warned the company. Others have tweeted out the e-mail addresses of the company’s board members. Chimerix executives say they’ve received physical threats. Moch, the company president, has read these tweets and said he is heartbroken, but the issue is complex and unsuitable for a 144-long character debate. At its very simplest, this is it: Chimerix is going full speed ahead to get the drug on the market hopefully by the end of 2016, and if they spend time and money on compassionate use cases, it would greatly hinder their effort to get the drug, brincidofovir, on the market and available to everyone. The company would have to dish out $50,000 per compassionate-use patient, since insurance doesn’t usually pay for experimental drugs, Moch said. And perhaps even more important than the money, it would divert manpower in this 50-person company, since they’d have to handle the requests and then get the patient’s records and follow up with them, as required by the FDA. “If this were just one patient wanting this drug, then this would be a very different question,” he said. “But it’s yes to all or no to all.” From 2009 to 2012, the company did give out the drug under compassionate use to 451 patients, Moch said, but at least at that time, the information gleaned from those 451 compassionate use patients was helpful to the Chimerix study and helped move the science along. But currently doctors don’t really learn very much, if anything, from compassionate use patients, so the patients don’t help get the drug to market. Beat cancer four times Josh’s journey began when he was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer at 9 months old. Over the years, cancer turned up in his thymus, lung, and bone marrow, and each time Josh beat it. But a bone marrow transplant left Josh without much of an immune system, and in February doctors diagnosed him with an adenovirus that spread through his body. They gave him an antiviral drug, an intravenous form of brincidofovir, but it ravaged his kidneys.

I broke my toe, and so I've been laid up the last 36 hours. I searched for some cool new music and found a couple of gems. Yes, they gave me Percocet. I narrowed down from 8 to 2. These were the two that blew me away- especially the video for the former, and the live Letterman appearance for the latter. The first is by Future Islands, "Seasons Change" and the song takes a few plays before you love it, but the video is jawdroppingly gorgeous and the dude is HAWWWTTT! They even show him without the cowboy hat. Dude is awesome sexy cowboy hot! The second is Kiesza. Inside.
The new squat toilet? Apparently this isn't a big deal in Asia. "Passengers kicked up a stink on a flight from Beijing to Detroit this week after a family allowed their toddler to defecate on his seat, according to reports. Travellers on board the Delta Airlines flight allegedly watched in horror as the young Chinese boy's parents laid down newspaper on his chair and encouraged him to relieve himself there and then. Despite pleas from passengers and crew to take him to the cabin toilet, the boy's grandfather and grandmother - who were also on the plane - insisted on letting the boy settle there, it was claimed. Passenger Luolan Gang Wang told Sina News that once the boy had finished his business, its smell began slowly to waft through the cabin sparking a wave of disgust among fellow travellers. Following the incident, Chinese social network Weibo came alive with commenters expressing their disgust, many of whom condemned the family for embarrassing their homeland. Delta Airlines did not immediately respond to MailOnline's request for comment. It is not clear exactly when the alleged incident happened but it is believed to have occurred some time around the middle of last week. It comes months after a disturbingly similar incident in which a child was photographed passing motion on a domestic flight in China in February."
Because my "Alice" vs. "One Day at a Time" poll wasn't highbrow enough for some.
You'd think the fewer people in the house to work for, the happier they'd be.
I was the one who posted the first few "Did you prefer..." threads asking you to compare old TV shows. I had no idea copycats would take my idea and go mad! I deserve your scorn, your eye rolls, and your most severe punishment. I'll try not to enjoy it too much.
Let me tell you about this woman that I worked with at an upscale Manhattan hotel.(Her pic is at link) Unattractive, crude, more than a few pounds overweight and very dishonest. Threw the race card out there whenever things didn't go her way. Her favorite expression if she got mad at someone is to say "They can suck my dick." Is so manly in her behavior and dress that once when she was in the public restroom in the lobby a concerned woman rushed up to the front desk to report that they had just spotted a man in the women's room. It was no man, it was this employee. Liked to have loud, threatening fights with her girlfriend Keisha on her cellphone in front of her co-workers during work time. Showed up at employee outings in appropriate attire and often swigging from liquor bottles. Got a male employee in big trouble for playfully referring to her as Whoopi because of her resemblance to Whoopi Goldberg. They both had a similar dreadlock hairstyle at the time. She ran to HR and claimed this employee was racist for calling her this.She quietly confided to some co-workers that the real reason she got the guy in trouble was because she felt Whoopi Goldberg is ugly and she was upset with the comparison. (For the record, WG is better looking than this woman.) Just stopped coming to work for more than two weeks and had her mother call in with some lame excuse for her even though she is a grown woman who should have called herself. Has only a HS education (don't even know if she ever managed to graduate) from a failing NYC public school. Every time, there was any type of managerial opening, she ran to HR to apply for it. She was totally unqualified for these posts but she felt she deserved them. Then when she didn't get the post, she'd have a chip on her shoulder blaming racism as the real reason. Finally, her suck-up boss and other cowardly powers that be gave her one of those meaningless Assnt. Mgr. titles just to keep her happy. She finally got into trouble for physically assaulting a Chinese menu guy that had been caught sneaking into the building and was slipping menus under guest room doors.The policy was to fill out a trespassing form, contact their bosses at the restaurant and if they are uncooperative then to call police. She decided instead to kick this tiny Asian guy's ass leaving him with bruises and cuts before calling the police. Management sent her home for the day but didn't end up firing her. I'm sure they didn't want it to appear that they were being racist. I could go on and on with other tales about this troublemaking walking disaster.I hate companies with spineless management that won't effectively confront these types of employees.
Anyone with a libertarian inclination will exult in the excellent movie, Dallas Buyers Club. It’s based on the true story of Ron Woodroof, an electrician and part-time rodeo cowboy in Texas who was diagnosed with HIV in 1985. Ron spent the last years of his life fighting the corrupt “health care” industry and the FDA as he searched for ways to cure AIDS, or at least diminish its horrendous effects. When diagnosed, he was told by the doctor to put his affairs in order, as he would be dead within a month. Through hard work and courage, he managed to live for seven years beyond that expiration date. He transformed his life from one of party-hardy debauchery to one of dedicating himself to helping others as he strove to help himself. I recommend this movie for its strong libertarian theme as well as its revelation of much truth about HIV and the nauseatingly corrupt U.S. medical industry and its partner in crime, the federal government. A word of caution: this movie is not one for children nor any adult who is easily offended.

I have gotten many comments from friends and acquaintances saying that my refusal to date bi men is a sign of bigotry, and that I am subjecting them to the same unjustified prejudice that the rest of society heaps on gay people (especially gay men). However, while I acknowledge that bisexuality exists, I simply lose all interest in a guy who is bisexual, or is a MSM and self-identifies as "straight". It's sort of like when you meet someone who spouses radical right wing ideas or has OCD in a bad way. It's just not attractive. Does that mean that I hate bisexual men? Well, no. I just don't want to have anything to do with them, especially in a romantic sense. Have I slept with bisexual guys? Of course, but I never took it seriously and it was a matter of "let's get down to it and then, I'm out of the door". I have never spoken badly of bisexual men, but I have also never, ever heard anything positive about them. I have an ex who is bi, but whenever I think of him with contempt, it isn't because he was bisexual, but because he is the human equivalent of rotting shit. Still, I must admit that coming to know that he was bisexual when our relationship was already on the rocks, didn't help matters. So, is not wanting to date bi men a sign of intolerance and bigotry in gay men? I don't think so. Do you?
See below and linked. Perhaps he just has an obsessive and unhinged overreaction to something that may be quite natural? Researchers from the universities of Bristol and St. Andrews in the UK have found that the color of a person's skin affects how healthy and therefore attractive they appear, and have found that diet may be crucial to achieving the most desirable complexion. Using specialist computer software, a total of 54 Caucasian participants of both sexes were asked to manipulate the skin color of male and female Caucasian faces to make them look as healthy as possible. They chose to increase the rosiness, yellowness and brightness of the skin. "Most previous work on faces has focused on the shape of the face or the texture of the skin, but one of the most variable characteristics of the face is skin color," said Dr. Ian Stephen who is now at the University of Bristol. Melanin, the pigment that causes the tan color when skin is exposed to the sun makes the skin darker and more yellow, but participants in the study chose to make skin lighter and more yellow to make it look healthier. "What we eat and not just how much we eat appears to be important for a healthy appearance. The only natural way in which we can make our skin lighter and more yellow is to eat a more healthy diet high in fruit and vegetables.

Joao Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto both are still alive, although they're not performing at all. The bossa nova recordings up to the ealry 1960s are so cool - they manage to be dated and fresh at the same time. At first you think you're hearing elevator music, because the farther it gets from samba it seems distilled, but then you hear the jazz in it - the complexity within the simple form. And then later bossa nova heats up - I guess nothing Brazilian can keep the temperature down for long. Any other listeners of Brazilian music?
Quinn Jaxon's new thread, since the last one got closed...
This is just a gem. In an intensely awkward congressional hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday, freshman Rep. Curt Clawson misidentified two senior U.S. government officials as representatives of the Indian government. The two officials, Nisha Biswal and Arun Kumar, are Americans who hold senior positions at the State Department and Commerce Department, respectively. Although both Biswal and Kumar were introduced as U.S. officials by the chairman of the Asia and Pacific subcommittee, Clawson repeatedly asked them questions about "your country" and "your government," in reference to the state of India. "I'm familiar with your country; I love your country," the Florida Republican said. "Anything I can do to make the relationship with India better, I'm willing and enthusiastic about doing so." Apparently confused by their Indian surnames and skin color, Clawson also asked if "their" government could loosen restrictions on U.S. capital investments in India. "Just as your capital is welcome here to produce good-paying jobs in the U.S., I'd like our capital to be welcome there," he said. "I ask cooperation and commitment and priority from your government in so doing. Can I have that?" The question prompted a lengthy pause and looks of confusion from State Department and congressional staff attending the hearing. "I think your question is to the Indian government," Biswal said. "We certainly share your sentiment, and we certainly will advocate that on behalf of the U.S." It's extremely uncommon for foreign officials to testify before Congress under oath. Even so, it's unclear if at any point Clawson realized his mistake, despite the existence of a witness list distributed to the various members detailing Biswal and Kumar's positions. Clawson's office did not respond to multiple requests for comment. During the hearing, [bold]he repeatedly touted his deep knowledge of the Indian subcontinent and his favorite Bollywood movies.[/bold] None of his fellow colleagues publicly called him out on the oversight -- perhaps going easy on him because he's the new guy. The Tea Party-backed lawmaker won a special election last month to fill the seat of Trey Radel, who resigned after being convicted for cocaine possession. Clawson pitched himself as an outsider with private sector experience and touted his role as chief executive of an aluminum wheel company. Thursday was Clawson's first day sitting on the subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific. He was named to the full committee July 9. Subcommittee Chairman Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) promoted Clawson's deep international business acumen and knowledge of four languages in welcoming him. "Our newest member of this committee, Curt Clawson ... speaks four languages and all kinds of other great stuff," Chabot boasted. The gaffe comes as members of Congress seek to strengthen U.S. ties to the world's largest democracy following the election of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi this spring. Lawmakers are circulating letters to have Modi address a joint session of Congress. Following Clawson's opening statement, Rep. Eliot Engel, the full panel's ranking Democrat, appeared eager to point out that Biswal and Kumar work for the United States. "Thank you both for your service to our country, it's very much appreciated," New York's Engel said. Update: While Clawson's office did not respond to a request for comment, the congressman apologized in a statement to USA Today later on Friday. "I made a mistake in speaking before being fully briefed and I apologize. I'm a quick study, but in this case I shot an air ball," he said.

Who's Who in AHS: Freak Show The cast is revealed Photo: Getty At Comic-Con, Ryan Murphy finally gave fans something to salivate on — no not a teaser but a cast of characters, revealing just who Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and everyone else is portraying on the fourth season of American Horror Story. Jessica Lange is Elsa Mars Emma Roberts is Maggie Sarah Paulson is the dual role of Siamese twins Bette and Dot (a vision to behold) Michael Chiklis is Evan del Toreado Kathy Bates is Ethel Darling Angela Bassett is del Toreado's ex-wife Desiree Dupre Evan Peters is del Toreado’s son Jimmy Darling As for the show's villain, that role will be played by John Carroll Lynch. The actor previously portrayed suspected serial killer, Arthur Leigh Allen, in David Fincher's Zodiac and was last seen on FX's The Americans. If an unofficial leaked call sheet is to be believed, Lynch's character is a "twisted clown." That same call sheet also revealed a few other parts, including Grace Gummer as Penny the Candy Striper, Ann McKenzie as Eudora Tattler, and the return of two AHS alums, Ben Woolf and Naomi Grossman as Pepper. (The Huffington Post believes that given Asylum's timeline, Freak Show could reveal Pepper's origin story and connect the two seasons.) As for other casting news, we know that Wes Bentley is Bates' tormentor, Dennis O'Hare is going to play a "collector of freaks," and AHS alums Jamie Brewer, Frances Conroy, Gabourey Sidibe are set to return in unspecified roles. Also joining the series this year is Finn Wittrock, who had a small part in Murphy's adaptation of The Normal Heart. There was no mention of Neil Patrick Harris, who recently professed his desire to be on the show. But we can't really believe he would join the series?

Eight is Enough star STILL living in a dilapidated trailer Things have gone from bad to worse for “Eight Is Enough” star Susan Richardson The down-on-her-luck actress still lives in a run-down trailer in a Pennsylvania campground and gets by on a paltry $2,000 monthly pension. But now she’s been hit by the devastating one-two punch of losing her mother and her dog at the same time! “My mother, Rachel, and my beloved dog, Honey Bunches of Oats, died on the same day!” said a heartbroken Susan, 62 “My dog died early in the morning and my mother passed later that night. She hadn’t even been sick! It nearly sent me over the edge! Oh, my God, I miss them so much.” Susan – who played fourth oldest sibling Susan Bradford on the hit TV series from 1977 to 1981 – lives in a 28-foot 1960 Avion trailer in the Birchview Farm Campground in Wagontown, a place which has been called “a dilapidated dump.” Her acting career hit the skids after “Eight Is Enough,” and Susan wrestled with addictions to both cocaine and painkillers. She eventually beat her drug demons, and moved to Wagontown to be close to her mother, who lived in the nearby town of Collegeville. But recently she’s suffered from a number of new health problems. She’s diabetic, has had three strokes and lost all her teeth to an incurable digestive tract condition. The condition triggered spasms in her esophagus, and caused her to regurgitate stomach bile, which eroded her teeth and caused infection, she explained. “The dentist had to pull all my teeth,” she said of the ordeal. “Fortunately, I now have false teeth that my daughter bought for me.” At one time, the disorder also triggered such intense stabbing pain that Susan stopped eating, and dropped from 167 to 107 pounds. “I’ve gained some of that weight back, but it’s still hard for me to get food down,” she said, adding that she underwent additional surgery on her esophagus in July. Choking back tears, Susan revealed her neighbors thought she’d died last winter. “Someone called the police to the campground, telling them there was a dead old lady in one of the trailers. And they arrived at my place!” she recalled. “The snow had drifted all the way up to the top of my camper. The police showed up and they ended up digging me out. “I had no electricity or heat for five or six days. "But I survived…just like I always do,” she concluded.
This will give her a chance to show her dramatic acting chops, rather than just belting out a tune.

He permeates my thoughts. What do you think of his face and body?
It's a good one. This is SEVERELY redacted from the original, which is about the length of a Dead Sea Scroll. Short version: She wants strangers to send her a ticket, get her there and provide all the necessities, including "the wages I will lose by coming": [quote]I simply cannot not come. If all I come away with is an experience of showering naked amongst others as a "shame reducer", it will have been worth it...to not hate my body as I do....to see beauty in myself as I see it in all other womyn...and I know I will come away with much more. I also appreciate the warnings of how overwhelming it will be....because it already is. But you have told me it is ok...and to do whatever I need to do once I am there to take care of myself through that. The truth is, I am terrified. Terrified to need help, to ask for it, to come and not know beforehand how my tent and gear (which I don't even have most of) will come together, but to trust that it will. To plan this not knowing beforehand how I will get there, or back. To need any of you.....or this....or the healing....and yet, I am so ready and willing to feel terrified and do it anyway. So, to combat the anxiety that is building around how to make this happen, I am looking at it one step at a time. The first thing I need is a ticket and something to offset the wages I will lose by coming. So, that is my first order of business. I need help with this. Apparently she got some money. In her update, however, she wants more: [quote]I realized, my excitement at having that ticket in my hand has had me lose focus as to what I still need to raise in order to actually get home. Travel expenses and something to counterbalance lost wages for the days I will be at fest. This is based in faith that I will have a job by the time August gets here. In the meantime, my money is running out without work. So, I am asking if those who expressed a desire to help but had to wait, would be willing to do so now?

Take poll.
I find "The Dark Knight Returns" too nasty and heavy-handed. Among my favorites are probably the whole Steve Engelhart/Marshall Rogers run from 1977 (climaxing in the great "Laughing Fish" Joker two-parter), or "The Long Halloween." But my favorite of favorites is "Batman: Year One." Frank Miller really reined in his sadistic and misogynistic streaks (with Barbara Gordon emerging as a very strong and intelligent female character), all the mythos of the storyline was resestablished in such a way that still holds 25 years later, and you just can't beat Mazzuchelli's artwork.

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?
Anybody watch it? I remember my dad addictively watching the original Cosmos and I love anything that brings knowledge of science and history to the masses. I enjoyed the first episode, though I thought the "spaceship" was kinda silly. The CGI effects and animation were terrific, Neil is a great host and I love that, right out of the gate, it tells religion to stuff it.

Alright try to be honest bitches. If a stranger met you taking into account your normal looks, voice and mannerisms how masculine or feminine do you come across? Curious how most posters see themselves. Gay or primarily gay men only of course
Theres the guy from SNL, a gerbil, the goth kid. Is this supposed to be funny or confusing. They're so fucking stupid.
I go to Adam4Adam all the time and see these profiles where the guy says he is a "jock". So does this mean he runs marathons all the time or he just wishes he was a jock? What activities qualify one as being a "jock"? Like does going to the gym 7 days a week for an hour qualify as being a jock even though half of that time you are in the steam room getting blown?

According to someone who has posted here in the past few days, DL has an interest in a type called "AWG" (average white guy). Who are some examples of the AWG liked on DL. What makes them "average"? Who are the non-average white guys?
An improvement I think. If the boys who can't yet embrace a gay identity stop claiming to be bi, maybe you bitches can accept that some people are actually bi. And don't get me started on "pansexual." What a joke.

There are different names for this but basically it's very intense itching of the scrotum, often in the middle of the night. My dermatologist told me that there's no known treatment. Has anyone else had it? Been able to overcome it? Snarky comments welcome.
What was he like? I was 11 when he died, so I don't really have any recollections of him. I recently read that Ann Coulter was one of the writers for his magazine George, which piqued my interest. Was he smart? Wikipedia says he failed the bar exam twice. Didn't he date Sarah Jessica Parker?

NO, this is not a hate racist question. I just want to know why they ALL pick and choose black men. It's rather odd, don't you think? Is there some sort of racial undertone going on with them?
Madonna darling, your timing was a little off. She has long been hailed the queen of media manipulation, but Madonna, along with so many other celebrities over the past few days, has made what can only be described as an epic fail. Two days after the world was violently jolted by the Malaysia Airlines disaster, Madonna and her brood of children, a party numbering six in total, boarded a flight from New York to London. According to reports, the pop star sat herself in first class while her entourage slummed it down in business class, which for anyone who has bravely tried to cross the curtain will know, are heavily guarded and very separate territories aboard any aircraft. According to reports in Britain's The Sun, another passenger told the paper: "Madonna took everyone by surprise when she waltzed down the aisle to talk to her kids during the safety demonstration. “Everyone was sat down just before take-off listening to the emergency exits information. Members of the cabin crew immediately told her she needed to go back and sit down but she wouldn’t listen. “Instead, she ventured further back into business class to visit her kids who were sitting there. “The other passengers seemed amused at what was going on because she was just ignoring everyone’s pleas and did what she wanted. “The air hostesses were getting quite annoyed with her but Madonna didn’t seem to notice them and just carried on chatting until the plane was about to take off.” Madonna is a woman who is meant to know all about how important timing is, so it beggars belief that she would behave in such a manner given how anxious air travellers have been since the brutal destruction of a passenger jet over the Ukraine, Madonna darling, even you are not THAT important. But Madonna has not been alone. PS was chided by Geoffrey Edelsten's bride-to-be Gabi Grecko after suggesting she refrain from her relentless self promotion on Twitter, complete with bikini photos and banal commentary. Grecko was busily uploading just hours after news of the MH17 disaster was filling the Twittersphere. But compared to Madonna, Grecko is a newbie to the fame game - unlike Elle Macpherson. The Body - or at least one of her many minions - was busy uploading shots of herself downing her "Elixir" supplements on social media just as the MH17 carnage was filling people's timelines. While unintentional, it certainly left a sour taste in PS's mouth. The lesson in all of this: every now and then the real world will come crashing into the world of celebrity and the best thing stars can do is sit back, take stock and remember they may well be living in a bubble, but it's a bubble that is easily burst.
As the OP I DIDN'T WRITE THIS. I'm just copying and pasting this response from another thread. I thought it would be an interesting topic for the different generations on DL to discuss. The writer wrote 'I can guarantee that no gay who worships Cher, Barbra, Liza, Judy, Bette, etc. is under 60 years of age. Those women were all popular when Christ was in Pampers. Most of the gays I know who are under 50 like rock, classic rock, indie rock, alternative, industrial, etc. I know no gays under 60 who worship those women. I am 32 and I like all types of ROCK MUSIC, not that overblown, overproduced squawking by those ancient, plastic-surgeried, has-been divas. Fuck them all up the ass!' So Dlers fire back!
I have just watched the 1984 versison of STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE with Ann-Margret and Treat Williams, which I imagined would be Tennessee-lite, but was very involving and emotional, with great art-direction and that late 1940s look. Is it a quality production of the play, is Ann a creditable Blanche? I have liked Ann in several items lately (like The Two Mrs Grenvilles) and her 1966 The Pleasure Seekers, and she seems to be ticking all the boxes here, even if too shrill at the start but by the second half she is terrific. No one could ever be as good as Vivien Leigh but Ann has a creditable stab, with all those lines we know: about the Tarntula Arms, and "I dont want realism, I want magic", "deliberate cruelty is unforgiveable" and of course "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers" for that great climax. Beverely D'Angelo is good too as Stella. Stanley though is Treat Williams who seems to have bulked up and looks sexy enough. He plays him as an infantile brute. Treat was fun in The Ritz and in Hair, but Brando he ain't. Looking at it again it seems a very cruel work, as Blanche is stripped of everything and Kowalski gets away with raping her, as she is carried off to the looneybin. I noticed it is based on Tennessee's play, so may not be the full actual text, but its well directed by John Erman, with Travilla dressing Ann, Sydney Guilaroff doing her hair, and Marvin Hamlish doing that good score. I'd love to have seen Dunaway and Voight, or Lange and Baldwin. Any other famous Blanches? The only one I saw on the stage was Claire Bloom's in London in 1974.
What is it about them that is so hot? Anybody else like them?
What a beautiful mess. Let's get this out of the way: The movie is classic Luc Besson... but it's also extra ridiculous and absurd. It aspires to be so much more than it is, and utterly fails... but it's a compelling failure. It's fun... but perhaps not as much fun as it should have been. The worst part is the ending... it leaves you sorta going ".... huh." But so much interesting visual beauty, and amazingly choreographed action happens before that. Completely silly and unrealistic, you can't even ding it for that... it clearly knows it. Not much of it makes much sense, but it sort of doesn't matter. I think the best way to see this movie is to be completely stoned. Anyone else see it?
He sure was pretty when he was young.

I am watching Suzanne Pleshette in " Rome Adventure". She is so bad in this movie. And I don't remember ever watching her in a movie I liked her in -even "The Birds" which is probably her best film role. Certainly her most famous. But she was so watchable in " The Bob Newhart Show" . She has great chemistry with Bob Newhart. And she is beautiful. Didn't she date Johnny Carson or was that Angie( I slept with JFK )Dickinson? P.s. Can't stand Troy Donahue although he perfect in Godfather, Part 2. And he isn't really as handsome other people. He just looks like a frat boy in the mold of Greg Marmalard.

Per a request on the Oscar Pistorius thread. Apparently, this guy is also the East Area rapist in Sacramento. I grew up there when he was active in the city and the place was gripped, terrorized. Police helicopters buzzed the city almost nightly for what seemed like months and months. He was incredibly bold, breaking into homes with a male present, tying him up, and making him watch the rapes. Around this time ('76 - '79), I started seeing a lot of homes with wrought iron bars on the windows. My own parents had them installed. I moved out of state for many years and had no idea he was linked to the Night Stalker through DNA. Chilling.

I got dragged to this by my same friend who dragged me to see Pacific Rim, so I wasn't very excited. My excitement did increase a bit when I noticed Sally Hawkins and Aaron Taylor-Johnson were in it, though. I loved it. The film is beautiful and they used Godzilla perfectly. I didn't HATE Pacific Rim but it felt like a video game to me. This movie is a true emotional experience. There was some awkward dialogue (which rely I guess is unavoidable in a movie about giant monsters) but the acting was superb. Contrary to what the trailers show us, Taylor-Johnson is the lead, not Cranston. They both deliver though, and Cranston is used very wisely. Godzilla looks great if not a little chubby. The CGI is flawless. I'm not sure what prompted the makers of this to actually give a shit about making a good movie out of what probably should have been a dumb popcorn flick, but I'm thankful! Still not gonna let my friend drag me to see Transformers, though.

You can listen to the segment at the NPR link below. Neda Ulaby did a report on gay representation in the media. At the end she said 4.4% of all TV characters are gay, while only 3.3% of the population is gay. Her source for the 3.3% figure? The Republican Gallup organization. Does anybody honestly believe that onlt 3.3% of us are gay???

My bf and I are about to hit our first anniversary. He's starting to "accidentally" call me his husband and talk about the very long-term. He places me on a pedestal, and treats me so much better than my previous guy. I love him and care about him very much, but this seems not at all in line with what I'm feeling. There's not a way out of this that doesn't break his heart, is there?
They celebrate Christmas? WTF? And KFC is apparently a much sought after delicacy for Christmas parties. Is there a weirder country on Earth?%0D %0D "KFC for that special Christmas meal, anyone? In Japan, the answer is a resounding yes.%0D %0D So popular is Kentucky Fried Chicken over the festive season that the fast-food chain%E2%80%99s Christmas Party Barrels can be ordered up to two months in advance in Japan. %0D %0D %E2%80%9CI entered the company in around 1980 and at the time it was pretty tough because there would be these long queues outside the stores,%E2%80%9D said Ichiro Takatsuki, a company spokesman. %E2%80%9CBecause of that over the past decade we%E2%80%99ve been taking orders. We started in November, but people would call and ask if we were taking orders yet, so we started earlier.%E2%80%9D%0D %0D Through one of the most successful advertising campaigns, which started in 1974, KFC Japan has made eating its chicken meals at Christmas a national custom. This happens on December 23, 24 and 25, but particularly Christmas eve. Sales for the three days are equal to half normal monthly sales, the company says.%0D %0D Japan is well known for taking foreign products and ideas and adapting them to suit domestic taste, and Christmas is no exception. A highly commercialised and non-religious affair, lots of money is spent annually on decorations, dinners and gifts. KFC is arguably the biggest contributor, thanks in part to its advertising campaign. %0D %0D %E2%80%9COne of the reasons the campaign lasted so long is that the message is always the same: at Christmas you eat chicken,%E2%80%9D said Yasuyuki Katagi, executive director at Ogilvy and Mather Japan, the advertising agency. %0D %0D Lining up without an advance order, particularly on December 24, is possible but risky as the chicken is freshly fried and thus volume is limited.%0D %0D On a visit to a KFC in the busy central Tokyo district of Shinjuku, staff members said that the queue will snake around the side of the building to a sushi restaurant located halfway down the next street for people to pick up their orders. In this KFC, orders are stronger than last year, and staff are expecting to produce about 7,000 chicken pieces on December 24.%0D %0D Overall demand is also stronger than last year, KFC Japan says, adding that it is not possible to give specific numbers for their 1,240 restaurants.%0D %0D Other fast food joints, such as Japan%E2%80%99s Mos Burger also try to cash in on the custom. Traditionally a burger chain, the company is currently advertising chicken for Christmas. However, people mostly seem to opt for KFC.%0D %0D Yoshiaki Hirose, a Tokyo businessman, ordered his Party Barrel a couple of weeks ago. %E2%80%9CIt%E2%80%99s like a Christmas standard,%E2%80%9D he said. %E2%80%9CKFC holds a premium position [over other fast food chains], so it%E2%80%99s nicer for celebrating, without being overly expensive. You want to have a party with your family, save your wife from having to cook, and you can pick it up from your local shopping street on your way home from work.%E2%80%9D%0D %0D It all started in the early 1970s when KFC was new to the market, Japan%E2%80%99s economy was in its fast-growth stage and was absorbing and adapting appealing areas of western culture fast. It turned out to be perfect timing for KFC. According to the company, a representative of a Christian mission school had ordered chicken at a Tokyo KFC as they could not get hold of any turkey. A bright employee suggested the situation could be made into an ad campaign."%0D
Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) is claiming that President Obama actually wants Republicans to impeach him so that Democrats will avoid losing the election in November. In an interview with World Net Daily, Rep. Steve Stockman said, “President Obama is begging to be impeached. For all I know, Obama is preparing to process 5 million illegal immigrant kids and teenagers into the United States. He wants us to impeach him now, before the midterm election because his senior advisers believe that is the only chance the Democratic Party has to avoid a major electoral defeat. Evidently Obama believes impeachment could motivate the Democratic Party base to come out and vote.” Stockman’s big solution to the border crisis is for Congress to shut down the White House, “The only way we’re going to stop Obama from opening the border is to take away the money he needs to operate. What we should do is shut down the White House.” It should be noted that Rep. Stockman concocted his scenario based on a theory that he invented. Facts and reality are nowhere to be found. In a bit of jaw-dropping hypocrisy, Stockman gave his interview to a website and a writer who have been pushing for Obama impeachment for years. All of the impeachment talk has been generated by the Republican Party. John Boehner threatened Obama with impeachment in January. Impeachment is the favorite fantasy of the Republican Party. Republicans have wanted to impeach Obama from day one, and those feelings only intensified after the president won reelection in 2012. Last year, Michele Bachmann called for the impeachment of President Obama by claiming that the president has been making impeachable actions since he came into office. The White House hasn’t begged for the president to be impeached. They have been speaking the truth about the motives behind John Boenher’s lawsuit against President Obama. Republicans are trying to blame Obama for their own desire to impeach him. They can’t find an impeachable offense, so they are ready to claim that they will impeach the President Of The United States because he wants them to. The Republican reasoning is childish. Their logic is non-existent, and facts don’t back up anything that they are saying. The truth is that Democrats led on the generic congressional ballot in three major polls last week. Control of the Senate is looking like a 50/50 tossup. There is no wave building for the Republican Party. In fact, it is more than possible that the 2014 election ends up maintaining the status quo with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats maintaining the Senate. Republicans overplayed their hand with the Boehner lawsuit. They took it one step too far, and Democrats know a good thing when they see it. The country doesn’t want Obama impeached, and no amount of excuse making about how the impeachment talk is all Obama’s fault can get the Republicans out of the very deep hole that they have dug for themselves. The GOP is screwed and they have their own obsession with impeaching President Obama to blame for their troubles.
House Republican Claims That President Obama Is Begging The GOP To Impeach Him
We now have a few trolls spouting this. Rip it a new asshole, DL'ers.
They are one of the most famous couples on Earth, yet intensely private — rarely allowing a glimpse of anything but the picture of a marriage and partnership that is constantly, blissfully happy. But a source who has been close to Beyoncé and Jay Z for years tells The Post that all is not well — and hasn’t been for quite some time. This is the first peek behind the firewall that is Beyoncé and Jay Z Inc. — what drew them together, why they’re headed for a split and why love was never the thing that held them together. “There’s still something there, even though it’s not going to last,” says the source. “Business is always part of the equation. They know they’re the king and queen of hip-hop — and really, all of music. Neither wants to lose that.” Their current “On the Run” tour is predicted to gross $100 million, according to Forbes — which also ranked Beyoncé the world’s most powerful celebrity of 2014, with Jay Z ranked sixth. Billboard ranked the couple No. 1 on their February 2014 Power 100 list. Their combined net worth, according the International Business Times, is nearly $1 billion. But in the weeks since Beyoncé’s sister Solange was caught attacking Jay Z in a hotel elevator after the Met Gala, the couple’s tightly controlled image has been crumbling. And while they’ve been pushing back, kissing on stage and playing happy family on Instagram, the source says Jay and Bey are permanently broken, and that both are at fault. “Knowing them as I do, obviously there’s a little something to certain rumors,” the source says. “When your man or your woman isn’t getting it done for you, and I’m talking emotionally, not necessarily sexually … they keep things quiet.” Not for much longer. When Jay Z and Beyoncé first got together in 1999, she was a star but a sheltered one. At 19, she still lived with her parents in Houston — dad Matthew, who quit his job at Xerox to manage her career with Destiny’s Child, and mom Tina, who became the group’s stylist. She hinted at being a virgin, and it’s reported that she left school at 14. Jay Z, then 30, had emerged from the Brooklyn projects as a hip-hop powerhouse. Having released his critically acclaimed debut “Reasonable Doubt” in 1996, he had a breakthrough commercial smash with 1998’s “Vol. 2 … Hard Knock Life.” A year later, Jay Z was arrested for allegedly stabbing producer Lance “Un” Rivera in a dispute over bootlegging; Jay pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and walked away with three years’ probation. Jay Z and Beyoncé have always been circumspect about the beginnings of their romance, even as they stoked intrigue with their collaborations. After breaking with Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé’s next project was a duet with Jay on his “’03 Bonnie and Clyde,” and in the video, they played a hip-hop version of the outlaw couple. When Beyoncé released her first solo album, 2003’s “Dangerously in Love,” Jay appeared on two tracks — including the first single and video for “Crazy in Love.” It was a master stroke of marketing: She gave him class, he gave her cred. Jay Z was infatuated with Beyoncé, says the source, but the bottom line was business; he knew he could do big things for her, and together they could be a juggernaut. For Beyoncé, however, it was a slower burn. According to an interview with the website Celebuzz, her uncle Larry Beyince said that initially his niece had no interest. “He was after her and she wasn’t,” Beyince said. “She told me she wasn’t too fond of him … I guess she wasn’t attracted to him.” The source says Beyoncé was most interested in Jay’s mind. “Jay’s a kingmaker; she recognized that. This was a come-up for her, no question. She had to learn the ropes as presented by Jay — but really, this was mostly about business.” As for dating others, he says, “they each had guilty pleasures.” The source believes that, along the way, she did really fall for Jay Z, and her parents, who had groomed Beyoncé to be a star from a very young age, were fine with it — for a time.

A federal appeals court panel in Virginia became the second one this summer to strike down a state ban against same-sex marriage Monday, making it more likely that the Supreme Court will settle the issue as early as next year. The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond ruled 2-1 that gay men and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry that is paramount to state marriage laws. The ruling affirmed a district judge's decision rendered in February. "We recognize that same-sex marriage makes some people deeply uncomfortable," said Judge Henry Floyd, originally appointed a district judge by George W. Bush and elevated to the circuit court by President Obama. "However, inertia and apprehension are not legitimate bases for denying same-sex couples due process and equal protection of the laws." The circuit court has jurisdiction over Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The panel's decision will not take effect for at least 21 days while circuit clerks defending the state's ban decide whether to appeal to the full appellate court or the Supreme Court. Like the first appeals court panel to rule on the issue this year in Utah and Oklahoma, the three-judge panel was deeply divided. But Floyd, considered the swing vote, came down on the side of same-sex marriage. Judge Roger Gregory, originally appointed by Bill Clinton in 2000, joined the majority. Presiding Judge Paul Niemeyer, a George H.W. Bush nominee, dissented. "I do strongly disagree with the assertion that same-sex marriage is subject to the same constitutional protections as the traditional right to marry," Neimeyer said. "I would reverse the district court's judgment and defer to Virginia's political choice in defining marriage as only between one man and one woman." The Virginia case, which involves two couples seeking to marry in the state and two couples seeking to have their marriages from other states recognized, now gives the Supreme Court a choice. It can hear the Utah or Oklahoma cases from the 10th Circuit, wait for Virginia's to be appealed, or defer action even longer for other gay marriage cases scheduled for appellate hearings in August, September and beyond. One way or another, legal experts agree the high court likely will accept a case for its 2014 term beginning in October or the 2015 term that follows. Niemeyer joked about that during oral arguments in May, calling his courtroom a "way-station" en route to Washington. The justices paved the way last year for what has become an unbroken string of federal and state court victories for gay marriage proponents. They ruled 5-4 that the federal government cannot deny benefits to legally married same-sex couples without violating the equal protection and due process clauses of the Constitution. Since then, district judges in 18 states have struck down bans on gay marriage or ruled that marriages performed elsewhere must be recognized in their states. Only the Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia cases have been heard by appeals courts so far. "The Fourth Circuit has affirmed that equality is not just a California value or a New York value – it's a fundamental American value," said Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's leading gay rights organization. The 10th Circuit appeals court includes Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming, as well as New Mexico, where same-sex couples already can marry. The precedent set by the Utah and Oklahoma rulings applies to all those states, but the panel blocked them from taking effect pending appeal. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes has said he will seek seek Supreme Court review. Other appellate court cases involving marriage bans in Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin will be argued in August and September. Appeals also are pending from Arkansas, Texas and Colorado.

I am always about 3-4 years behind on TV, but I am really enjoying "24". And damn, I now have a TV crush on Kiefer Sutherland. Any gossip on him other than that he got a DUI and went to jail for a month and a half? He has a music label Ironworks and I thought that would break my crush but I love white people R&B too, which is apparently its specialty. At the least, anyone else find him sexy?

Anyone else? Vodka alcoholic, 25 years. Yes, I'm in the process of punching and deleting. It sucks. This person, my partner of several years, has advanced cirrhosis of the liver and isn't expected to live a whole lot longer. Therefore I stay, but am able to keep my distance somewhat as we have separate homes. Regardless, he is such a horrible, mean, very confused, violent drunk. Lately, he is so much more confused and paranoid. He imagines entire days that never happened. When he isn't drinking, he's lovely. Those days are rare. He knows he is dying and after a very expensive detox and even more expensive failed rehab, began drinking two days later and has pretty much said fuck it. He doesn't care. He is too far gone. Because I know he will not live that much longer, I cater to him, I love him, and I treat him far too well. No, I'm not a doormat, or at least I wasn't until I met him. I have never been in an alcoholic, co-dependent, or abusive relationship before.

It would be difficult to come with a more on-the-nose metaphor for New York City's income inequality problem than the new high-rise apartment building coming to 40 Riverside Boulevard, which will feature separate doors for regular, wealthy humans and whatever you call the scum that rents affordable housing. Extell Development Company, the firm behind the new building, announced its intentions to segregate the rich and poor to much outrage last year. Fifty-five of the luxury complex's 219 units would be marked for low-income renters—netting some valuable tax breaks for Extell—with the caveat that the less fortunate tenants would stick to their own entrance. The city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development approved Extell's Inclusionary Housing Program application for the 33-story tower this week, the New York Post reports. The status grants Extell the aforementioned tax breaks and the right to construct a larger building than would ordinarily be allowed. According to the Daily Mail, affordable housing tenants will enter through a door situated on a "back alley." Any of the unwashed folk who complain about such a convenient arrangement, of course, are just being ungrateful. As the Mail points out, fellow poor-door developer David Von Spreckelsen explained as much last year: "No one ever said that the goal was full integration of these populations," said David Von Spreckelsen, senior vice president at Toll Brothers. "So now you have politicians talking about that, saying how horrible those back doors are. I think it's unfair to expect very high-income homeowners who paid a fortune to live in their building to have to be in the same boat as low-income renters, who are very fortunate to live in a new building in a great neighborhood." In these economically fraught times, it's easy to forget that the super rich earned their right to never see you, hear you, smell you, or consider your pitiful existence. Expecting them to share an entrance would be unfair.

For those of you who were born before the 80's, have you actually noticed any significant changes in America since the 70's? For instance, in terms of things like individualism, entertainment,socializing, etc. I was born in 1987 and I keep hearing how different American values were back then and how after the Reagan era, things really changed. After Reagan's era, it became OK to be selfish and ok to disregard your neighbors in favor of your own selfishness.

He's just appeared in a very nationalistic Russian TV ad for beer. US actor David Duchovny has stirred up a storm of debate in Russia by appearing in an ultra-patriotic beer ad in which he fantasises about being Russian. The “X-Files” and “Californication” star appears in a glossy ad for a Russian beer brand that is inspired by his eastern European origins. “There is another country, where I got my family name from, and sometimes I wonder, what if things turned out differently, what if I were Russian?” the actor says in the ad posted Friday on YouTube. Duchovny has said in interviews that his father had Polish and Russian roots but recently wrote on Twitter that he is in fact Ukrainian. In the ad set to Soviet rock hits, the actor is shown as a ballet choreographer, a cosmonaut, a rock star or an ice hockey player and experiencing Russian traditions such as the banya, or steam bath. “Being Russian, I’d have many things to be proud of,” he concludes in the ad. Deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees defence, posted a link to the ad on Twitter, saying: “If you forget about what it is advertising, as a whole it’s made with love.” But US news site Globalpost.com slammed Duchovny for appearing in what it called a “poorly timed, nationalistic ad” released shortly after the Malaysian airliner was downed in Ukraine. Rossiya-24 state television in turn criticised Duchovny for appearing in the ad after calling himself a Ukrainian. “That didn’t stop the actor from appearing in an ad with a huge budget about pride in the Russian motherland,” a Rossiya-24 newsreader said acidly. In April Duchovny wrote on Twitter: “I grew up thinking I was Russian only to find recently that I’ve been Ukrainian all along. Never too late to change.” Much of present-day Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire. The ad was one of the top trends on Russian Twitter over the weekend and has been viewed more than 900,000 times on YouTube. Some viewers said they found the ad moving but others criticised Duchovny for taking part. “Has David Duchovny gone completely mad? Maybe he’ll be next to get a (Russian) passport after Gerard Depardieu,” wrote one Twitter user, Tatyana Samosudova. Duchovny is not the only Western star to appear in made-for-Russia ads. Bruce Willis advertises a bank while Depardieu has promoted a bank and a kitchen chain since gaining Russian citizenship in 2013. Watch the advertisement via Youtube below.

Can someone explain the success of this talent- and charm-free, mostly tone-deaf "singer"? Was it the fact that she just happened to be the spawn of one of the biggest American singers? I can only imagine Frank must have called in some BIG favors to make that one happen.
Gee, I wonder why he cast this guy Dave to star in Below Deck, Bravo's new cruise ship reality show? Was he that big a fan of his work? Just how transparent is Andy? Obviously Dave wasn't a part of the real crew. Dave even admits he's the "new guy" who was just hired for the show so he has to try to fit in. Andy must have told the producers that Dave had great crew experience and that's why he NEEDED to be hired. Dave's boyfriend is also a porn star who's been making porn for over 8 years. First the Million Dollar Listing boys and now this, why must Andy raid his personal porn collection to cast his shows?
What's the name of the cute guy who said he and his sister were in foster homes from age five and are grateful to their current mother and father?

John Travolta Can't Stop Former Pilot's Lawsuit Over Secrets (Exclusive) 1:44 PM PDT 7/22/2014 by Eriq Gardner A California appeals court allows Douglas Gotterba to challenge the validity of a confidentiality agreement. Douglas Gotterba, who worked for John Travolta's aircraft company Alto in the 1980s, will get the opportunity to argue in a lawsuit that he holds no confidentiality duties to the actor. On Tuesday, the airline pilot was given the go-ahead sign by a California appeals court. Gotterba worked for Travolta for six years. According to press interviews he's given, he claims that his relationship with Travolta was more than professional. He stopped working for the actor in 1987, at which point he entered into a written termination agreement with Alto. Nearly 25 years later, Gotterba came forward to "tell the story of his life and those involved in it," including his personal relationship with Travolta. According to Gotterba, he was "unwillingly thrust" into the gossip tabloids by public revelations from another former Travolta employee. Upon hearing that Gotterba had spoken to the National Enquirer and was planning a book, Travolta's attorney Martin Singer sent out cease-and-desist letters. The lawyer warned Gotterba about breaching the confidentiality provision of his termination agreement. Gotterba's own attorney then demanded to see the asserted confidentiality provisions. He eventually saw what Singer was relying upon when the parent company of the National Enquirer forwarded the relevant portion of a four-page agreement. But the airline pilot maintains that this agreement is "not authentic," that it is merely an early draft of another three-page agreement that didn't contain the confidentiality clause. So Gotterba sued Travolta and Alto seeking a judicial declaration about which agreement was valid and whether confidentiality was really enforceable. In response, Alto aimed to kill Gotterba's lawsuit by bringing an anti-SLAPP motion. In instances where someone's First Amendment rights are at stake, California law provides defendants with an early exit as well as the possibility of recovering legal fees. In this case, the defendants asserted that Travolta's right to petition was protected. The question for the trial judge and then the appeals court was whether Gotterba's lawsuit was based upon Singer's demand letters. California appeals court Presiding Justice Arthur Gilbert says that it is not based upon Singer's "sabre-rattling" but rather "the validity of the asserted termination agreements." He adds, "Although the prelitigation letters may have triggered Gotterba's complaint and may be evidence in support of the complaint, they are not the basis of the complaint." The justice says that to hold otherwise "would lead to the absurd result that a person receiving a demand letter threatening legal action for breach of contract would be precluded from seeking declaratory relief to determine the validity of the contract. Declaratory relief would be limited to situations where the parties have not communicated their disagreement."

Speaking on The Talk, the former X Factor judge said: “Don’t you find there are – not naming names – a lot of people inside this industry and outside who have women as beards? “They live a lie. I’m not condemning them, but it’s sad that people do have to do that and they don’t have the wherewithal or the strength to live the lives that they were born to lead.” She also weighed in on Simon Cowell, who earlier this week rejected “antiquated” claims that he is secretly gay. Osbourne said: “So many people do ask if Simon Cowell is gay… I don’t know why! It just comes with his aura. “He does have a very gay-ish – which I think if fabulous – air about him.” Last week, Southwark Crown Court heard that Tulisa’s manager Gareth Varey had an exchange with Mahmood, who posed as a film producing Sheik, during which Varey said he knew men who had slept with music producer Cowell. In a secret recording, Mahmood asked Varey whether Cowell was gay, to which he responded “yes”. Cowell’s management said: “Simon was referred to during the trial without forewarning, resulting in widespread media coverage of untrue claims regarding his private life. “In 2014 the question of whether someone is or is not gay is antiquated. (As it happens he isn’t, though if he were, he would simply have said so). “However, the issue was the false suggestion made by Mr Varey that Simon – who is renowned for his honesty and candidness – had thus not been truthful in the public arena and this is what we have been obliged to clarify.” What do you think about this?

Could life imitate art yet again, or -- more specifically -- could a title come true? Deadline Hollywood reports HBO is in talks with Lisa Kudrow and director Michael Patrick King to bring "The Comeback" back, the duo's comedy from 2005 that's become a cult classic. Though it only lasted one, 13-episode season, "The Comeback" earned respect from most critics and has developed quite the following since it went off the air. Recent successful resurrections have given new life to many TV shows with rumors constantly swirling of comebacks, "Arrested Develpment" being the most notable example. This makes the news of the Kudrow comedy's possible return even more apt. "The Comeback" was very much ahead of its time, being a single camera reality show spoof. Relevancy shouldn't be an issue, even almost a decade after its original airing. Valerie Cherish still has plenty to teach us. On March 19, Kudrow retweeted a Slate story suggesting "The Comeback" deserves another season. It even went so far as to suggest HBO should make it available on the company's streaming service, HBOgo.

David Gregory’s time is nearly up at “Meet the Press,” sources told Page Six, and he could be replaced as moderator of the nation’s longest-running TV show soon after the November midterm elections. While NBC News President Deborah Turness has publicly supported the embattled Gregory, there are serious concerns about the losing battle to turn around the show’s sinking ratings. Viewership is down a whopping 43 percent compared to when Gregory ascended to the moderator’s chair in December 2008, after the death of Tim Russert. The show finished in third place behind CBS’s “Face the Nation” and ABC’s “This Week” in the second quarter of 2014. An NBC source said, “The discussion is whether to make a change before or after the midterm elections. Just after the midterms would give the new moderator time to settle in.” According to insiders, NBC political director and chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd is the rightful heir to Gregory, but he has not been officially offered the job. Other names said to be in the frame include “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie, who comes from a political background but is unlikely to be released from the flagship morning show where she’s hugely popular. Guthrie is also due to give birth to her first child next month and will return to “Today” after maternity leave. MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” team Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have also been said be angling for a Sunday slot, but NBC insiders said there are concerns about putting a partisan host in charge of “Meet the Press,” as Scarborough is a former Republican congressman. After the Washington Post recently reported that NBC had commissioned a “psychological consultant” to interview Gregory’s wife and friends, NBC publicly stood by Gregory, who denounced the psychologist claim as “gossip reporting gone wild.” An NBC spokesperson told us Tuesday night, “We heard the same false rumors and suggest you take them with a grain of salt, as we did.”

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police have arrested the foster parent of a 10-month-old girl who died after being left inside a hot car in Wichita, Kansas. Lt. Todd Ojile said Friday the 29-year-old man was booked on suspicion of aggravated endangerment but has not been charged. No charges are expected against the other foster parent, a 26-year-old man who was inside the house. Ojile says the 29-year-old man had "somehow forgotten" leaving the girl in the back seat after picking her up from the baby sitter late Thursday afternoon. He went inside the house with a 5-year-old child but left the baby strapped in the car seat outside. . Ojile says they didn't remember the child was outside until something on television jogged their memories. The girl had been in the car for about 2 hours.

.. allegedly Her mother's highly emotional funeral was just too much for Bobbi Kristina Brown. Following the event, she "disappeared" for a time and was found "using drugs," two sources have told The Daily Beast. Her family didn't find her until Sunday morning, just before they were to leave for Whitney's burial, the sources added. “Everyone was freaking out and calling Bobbi Kristina’s cell,” one source, a longtime family friend told The Daily Beast, the website for Newsweek magazine. “It was so much commotion and activity after the funeral that Bobbi Kristina just slipped away. Ms. Cissy was beside herself." PHOTOS: Bobby Brown Leaves Whitney's Funeral Cissy and others won’t admit out loud that Bobbi Kristina "has a drug problem,” said the friend. “But they know it and have been trying to keep her straight even before Whitney passed. But losing your mother and the life you’re accustomed to all in one day is enough to send anybody off the deep end.” A spokesperson tried to downplay the situation, and said the teen isn't on drugs.

What the fuck happened to this website? Why are fringe trolls infesting the place? There seemingly can't even be the most innocuous topic posted without some damaged troll popping-in to take some sort of twisted, p/c issue with it. I've been around here over a decade now and I STILL don't know who Aaron Rodgers is or why Gale Harold is so talked about. The obsession with the Golden Girls is bizarre but it's not as constant. Nothing is fun or clever about the Datalounge anymore because all the witty guys have been run off. Mediapoilis, what happened? Was it the $18 or just bad monitoring?

Given her on again/off again appearance in the opening credits, will she stick around for another season? Will her dad's dick finally fall off from some nasty STD? Heather's only significant contribution is still her hot husband. Will he and Mario finally get some drunken alone time? Will Sonja's tooth get lost (permanently) at the bottom of a champagne bottle? Will Carole finally finish her transformation into Steven Tyler? Will Lumann be un-demoted and be brought back as a full housewife? Will we get to see some of her short, thick Frenchmen? Will Kristen--oh who cares. Zzzzzzzz!

During the Canada Day festivities Homophobic Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Ford was at one point confronted by local resident Joe Killoran — a Toronto-area teacher who was apparently out for a jog when he crossed paths with the mayor's entourage. Killoran hurled questions and accusations at Ford while the mayor's staff attempted to intercede. "Answer one of the million questions people have for you," Killoran said. "People have a million questions about your lying and your corruption." Ford did not respond to Killoran. Someone in the crowd asked if he was working for one of Ford's political rivals. "Do I look like I'm with a campaign?" Killoran, who was shirtless at the time, responded. "I'm an East York guy out for a jog." The more important question? Is this hairy bear hot or what? See video below for confrontation.

It's weird because he can actually carry it off with his hairy daddy thing--he's still about the hottest guy in porn right now, with his huge muscles, his hair, his gorgeous eyes, and his quiet super-confidence. But I would also say that right now he's the fattest major gay porn star working right now.
Really? It deeply moves something inside my soul.

Once an A-list star, he now does a supporting role about once a year. I heard he came from money. Is he a trust fund brat?
He is 35,unmarried, rarely attends public events with a girl on his arm, no hint of a girlfriend. If he is gay coming out just might help his career at this point. I also think he is very handsome.

Outside of pregnancies from rape, incest, or danger to the mother, there is no reason to murder a baby. Fuck a woman's right to choose, she is made to carry a baby. Biology is quite simple.
Sherri Shepherd does not want anything to do with her unborn surrogate baby ... because she believes her estranged husband defrauded her into having the kid in the first place so he could get child support ... this according to multiple sources connected with the couple. TMZ broke the story ... Sherri and her husband Lamar Sally each separately filed legal docs to end their marriage. The big complication -- a baby will be born this month to a surrogate who signed a contract with Sherri and Lamar. Now our sources say ... the baby was conceived with Lamar's sperm, but NOT Sherri's egg. Now here's where it gets tricky. We're told Sherri does not want custody or even to be considered a parent ... because she doesn't want to get stuck with massive child support payments. Sherri wants a judge to rule she has no parental rights or responsibilities -- which would shut the door to child support. She claims Lamar defrauded her -- that he got her to sign on for a surrogate birth knowing full well he would divorce her and then nail her to the wall for child support. Our Lamar sources say Sherri tried to get pregnant in vitro and when it didn't work she got deeply involved in the surrogacy process. Another twist ... Sherri has filed for divorce in New Jersey and Lamar has filed in California. This is not a coincidence. We did some digging, and found New Jersey courts generally do NOT recognize surrogacy agreements, which means Lamar would probably be shut down. Not so in Cali.

Love her or loathe her, her 2011 album will forever be linked to this period in history, a period that gays made huge leaps in power and gaining equal rights starting in the early 2010s. The song "Born This Way" will be forever remembered when looking back at this time in history. It'll be used as a backdrop in documentaries about this era. It got a whole generation that is pro-gay to become activists (NOH8, anti-bullying, etc). What else will be linked to this historic period in time for gay rights when it comes to pop culture? "Modern Family"? Obama will have his face plastered in history books when it comes to the first sitting president to advocate for marriage equality, and not only that, a sitting president making the statement in an election year!
