Why do women get upset when men don't do this? Is it because they don't think they should have to touch the seat? I've heard some say it's because they fall in. I don't get it. They can't look? Men have to put the seat down when they go number 2 and they're not falling in or yrlling at people. I'm curious: why is this an issue?

Well, he was asked about the leaked pic, and he didn't think it was a big deal. Anyway, what do you think of it? He's short. Can't tell how big his meat is.
They met last summer on the set of upcoming movie, Tracers, and co-stars Taylor Lautner and Marie Avgeropoulos seem to be quite the happy couple.
They said there was a 911 hangup call from my land line. I don't HAVE a phone on my land line, it's only for my internet access. Scared the crap out of me but now I'm sitting here wondering how a phone line with no phone dialed 911? Well, sleep was nice, but I'm done now.
I’m sure this story will ruffle the feathers of many Winona-stans, but I think this is good news for Winona Ryder. Her career comeback is going well, she spent a few years doing smaller parts in smaller movies, getting some critical acclaim again, getting photographed more often and coming out in public more often. So it’s good news when the tabloids start discussing her as a scandalous and/or bizarre person. Winona’s always been a little strange, and now a new generation of tabloid readers get to enjoy it. For the young’uns, let me tell you: Winona Ryder used to be like Kristen Stewart, Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lawrence all rolled into one. Winona was HUGE. She dated her costars, she was a child actor who transitioned to adult roles beautifully, she won awards and praise, she was BFFs with some of the biggest celebrities out there and there were plenty of scandals and drama. Ah, the halcyon days of the 1990s. So this Enquirer story references some of those older scandals. Like, Johnny Depp and Winona were crazy about each other way back when (before Kate Moss, even), and Winona used to be BFFs with Gwyneth Paltrow. So, enjoy: Winona Ryder is getting weirder by the day, becoming a virtual recluse and taking potshots at her former friends. Insiders say she’s dyed her hair bright white and become obsessed with online shopping, filling her closets with unworn clothes that still have their tags. And just about the only time she leaves her home is when her cleaning staff arrives, because she can’t stand talking to them. Winona has also been trash-talking her ex-BFF Gwyneth Paltrow and former flame Johnny Depp, a source tells The ENQUIRER. “She’s alienating so many people it’s no wonder she’s turning into a hermit,” said a longtime friend of the 41-year-old actress. Winona has a “major grudge” against Gwyneth because she believes the blonde-haired beauty made unflattering comments about her in an online lifestyle blog four years ago. And Winona also never got over Gwyneth beating her out for a plum role in the 1998 hit movie “Shakespeare in Love” – and winning an Oscar for it! “Those comments were a huge embarrassment for her,” the pal said. The friend says Winona has also been blasting Depp, 50, for hooking up with 27- year Amber Heard not long after splitting with his longtime love, Vanessa Paradis, 40, last year. “Johnny couldn’t care less,” said the friend, “but she’s really ragging on him for being so predictable and going for a blonde in her twenties.” As The ENQUIRER reported in April, Winona had a fleeting hope she and “The Lone Ranger” star would reunite. “It’s really sad she’s become so vindictive,” the friend continued. “She rarely leaves the house because she hates being around people so much. And she makes sure her housekeepers don’t speak English because that way they are less likely to know who she is. “When she was younger, her eccentricities were perceived as cute and quirky, but now she’s just bizarre.” [From The Enquirer] I think the Gwyneth reference is about an old Goop post from a few years ago where Gwyneth talked about “how to break up with a friend”. And the Hollywood rumor back in 1997 was that Gwyneth outright STOLE Winona’s script for Shakespeare In Love and Goop went behind Winona’s back and got the part. And they were never friends after that. As for the Depp stuff… I’m not sure I believe Wino and Johnny still talk. She might talk smack about him (as she should, because he’s absurd), but I doubt Johnny even hears about it. Oh, and remember how Matt Damon dumped Minnie Driver (while appearing on Oprah!!!) and then he started up with Winona two seconds later? I wish people still brought that up, because that was an amazing scandal. God, I miss Winona’s scandals. I want her to start dating someone really controversial. Not Charlie Sheen! I want her to throw it down old-school, like Winona could steal Garrett Hedlund away from Kirsten Dunst. That would be fun.

I'm binge watching Hell on Wheels on NetFlix, and wondering why on earth we haven't discussed Anson Mount, the lead actor.

I'm sorry, but was this photo already posted? I saw it and cracked up.

New York city commissioner who shares surname with Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch believes his ancestor owned her slave forebears She is the grand-daughter of Caribbean immigrants to America who has just been appointed to a top job by Bill de Blasio, New York's new mayor. He is the dashing British actor who stars as Sherlock Holmes in the hit television series on both sides of the Atlantic and plays a plantation owner in the Oscar-nominated film 12 Years A Slave. Despite their very different backgrounds, Stacey Cumberbatch and Benedict Cumberbatch apparently do not just share a distinctively English-sounding surname. Ms Cumberbatch believes that the star's fifth great-grandfather owned her ancestors on an 18th century sugar plantation on Barbados. They are "related", not by blood, but by their shared roots in the brutal transatlantic slave trade, she told The New York Times after her appointment as a city commissioner. Her ancestors were slaves on the island at the time when it was the practice for them to take the family names of plantation owners such as Abraham Cumberbatch. The star has previously discussed how his name became common among families from the Caribbean because of his forebear's role on the island. Although there are no paper records to establish the link, it now seems that New York's new chief of administrative services is among them. Mr Cumberbatch's performance in 12 Years A Slave, which has been nominated for several Oscars, including Best Picture, is not the first time that he has chosen a role that harks back to his family's ties to slavery. Abraham Cumberbatch, who was born in Bristol in 1726 and died in 1785, came from a family of merchants and adventurers and built the clan's fortune from a sugar plantation on Barbados. The actor said that it was a "sort of apology" for this history when he played William Pitt the Younger, the abolitionist prime minister, in the 2006 film Amazing Grace about William Wilberforce's fight to eliminate the slave trade in the British empire. In an interview, he once said that his mother, Wanda Ventham, the actress who also played his mother in the latest season of Sherlock, encouraged him not to use his real name in his professional career because she was concerned that he could face claims from reparations by slaves of descendants. The Cumberbatch family has faced no such lawsuits. But 14 Caribbean nations last year said they would seek reparations from the former colonial powers of Britain, France and the Netherlands for the slave trade. The countries have hired the firm of London lawyers that secured compensation from Britain for Kenyans who were tortured under British colonial rule in the 1950s. The islands have said they will compile an "inventory" of damage suffered and demand an apology and financial damages. Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807 and Tony Blair, the then prime minister, expressed his "deep sorrow" for the practice in 2006. The Cumberbatches are among many prominent British families who once built their wealth and standing on the slave trade. Researchers said last year that an ancestor of Samantha Cameron, the prime minister's wife, received the equivalent of several million pounds in compensation when the British abolished the trade in humans. Mr Cumberbatch was born in Kensington and Chelsea, educated at Harrow and has starred in a series of acclaimed films in recent years, including Atonement, War Horse, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Fifth Estate, in which he played Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder. In 2012 he courted controversy by lamenting that he was a victim of "posh-bashing", saying he might move to America to escape being "castigated as a moaning, rich, public-school bastard, complaining about only getting posh roles". In an interview with the Radio Times, Cumberbatch insisted he was middle class, saying that despite his public school education and classical training, "I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig." Ms Cumberbatch was born in the New York borough of Queens, graduated as a lawyer and has spent a long career in city and state government. Talking of her roots in Barbados, Mr de Blasio said that her heritage "has driven her to excellence".

For women! Stifle your laughter, people. Legendary wrestler Buff Bagwell is still trading on his lady's man image ... now, as a gigolo. Bagwell -- who was a force in World Championship Wrestling between 1991 and 2001 -- has joined Cowboys4Angels ... a premium gigolo service targeting lonely and very possibly horny women. Bagwell has appeared on the Showtime hit, "Gigolos," but he's not just doing it for the camera. As for Cowboys4Angels ... it provides "escorts" who offer companionship -- reading between the lines is highly permissible. The company charges a pretty penny for Bagwell's services -- $800 for 2 hours, $1550 for 4 hours and $3000 for an overnight "visit." Weekends are steep -- $8K. And a full week with Bagwell -- $25K. The owner of the service -- Garren James -- tells TMZ, Bagwell is already the second most popular escort on the website ... behind Nick Hawk. Bagwell is married, but apparently unlike Robin Thicke, it's a true open relationship.

Woman Dies In A Car in Her Garage and No One Realized For 6 Years
A Portland, Oregon, cabdriver faces civil rights charges after he ejected a lesbian couple from his cab and leaving them on the side of a highway, according to WPRO630. According to the an investigation by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, there is “substantial evidence” that cab driver Ahmed Egal refused to continue service to Kate Neal and Shenako Devoll, a lesbian couple, due to their sexual orientation. The incident occurred last July when the couple, along with a male friend took a cab home after a night out in Portland. In their complaint the women state that Egal made “aggressive homophobic comments” after they held hands and kissed. He then pulled over on I-84 and demanded the group exit the cab. After pulling over Egal called 911 and told the dispatcher that the women were refusing to pay their fare, according to the complaint. Stranded on the side of the highway, the couple and their friend had to climb over the highway wall, through the bushes, and over a fence before they found an officer to take them home. According to investigators, Egal acted alone when he stopped service to his passengers, meaning that his former employer, Broadway Cab, will not be held liable for his actions The complaint has been filed under the 2007 Oregon Equality Act, prohibiting public accommodations, including businesses, from discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Egal said he would fight the charges. “I love this city. I think it was the best,” he told ABC News’ Portland affiliate, KATU. “Portland is real different. I regret that the city that I loved became this way.”

Call him a c*** show host ... TMZ has learned, Johnny Carson recorded a sex tape with his wife back in the 1970s -- and not only has the tape just hit the market ... very solid sources tell TMZ, Johnny's johnny is ENORMOUS. Multiple sources tell us, the tape owner approached the Carson estate in September to make a deal for the footage -- the estate said take a hike, and threatened to sue the owner if he ever sold it. But the owner's apparently gone rogue -- we're told he's now shopping it to private collectors ... and it is legendary. According to sources who've seen it, the tape was shot right after he married wife #3 Joanna Holland. It opens with a naked dark-haired Carson masturbating by a pool -- then shows Joanna (with a bouffant hairdo) going all Linda Lovelace. It goes on for about 5 minutes -- then we're told it cuts to a 20-minute sex scene in Johnny's bedroom ... and Johnny does NOT hold back. Oh yeah, we're also told he's hung like a horse -- seriously, porn star status. One source said it was at least 10 inches. But for legal reasons it can't go to a porn company, so the only way to unload it is with a private collector. Move over Michael Fassbender.
Heeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny (no really!)

Twice it came back that my paternal grandfather is in the J1 Haplogroup. I never knew him as my father was adopted and info was scarce. I believe that group = Middle Eastern. Anyway, I was googling it and came across a page at Stormfront, the racist, far-Right web forum. Some guy got the same result and was freaking about possibly being Arab/Muslim/Jewish. Isn't that always the way? It's like homophobic parents always producing gay children.
Why did they make Ellen Morgan gay??? Yes, Ellen is gay and came out as the same time as the character, but the character wasn't gay. It seems odd to make the character gay because the actress is coming out. Did they not think people would continue to buy the character as straight? More likely they just wanted to embrace it and Ellen Degeneres probably wanted it since the character was based on her, and the coming out would be important television. I get all of that, but again, the character wasn't gay for 3 seasons! And now she's gay? I know the show had sooo many creative changes, and cast changes. It was always going through some kind of change, but it did manage to maintain continuity for the most part and remain funny. Ellen Morgan was always straight, though, and even boy crazy at times. It just seems so odd to have a main character change sexuality after so many seasons. That would be like Jack coming out as straight near the end of Will & Grace or something. They did at least strt working up to it in season 4, to kind of make the coming out seem less out of nowhere, but it's still a pretty major rewriting of the character. I don't think it's necessarily a BAD thing, just an unusual one. I guess it was easier to do on a show like this that had so many creative retoolings. The real mistake was letting Arye Gross leave and replacing him with Jeremy Piven. I know it was Gross' decision, but Ellen at the bookstore with Audrey was the best iteration of this show, and it would have been nice to have his character there instead of Piven's.

I came to work this morning and found a piece of paper upside down on my office chair: YOU NEED TO TREAT ALL YOUR STAFF FAIRLY NOT JUST YOUR FAVORITES Hmmm. I run a department of 10 people, all of whom are overworked (as am I). The work is evenly distributed. I don't socialize with any of them either within or outside the office except for company occasions. And I don't feel like I play favorites; they're all decent employees, but clearly someone thinks differently. I'm at a loss. What would you do, tasteful friends? Ignore it? Have a meeting to see if anyone wants to bring up grievances (I'm open to that). Send a general email saying it's been a tough two months and if anyone wants to talk, let's have coffee? Anonymous note...Right now I feel like someone in "The Long Secret."

So I went to the store to buy some more cartridges for my Gilette Mach 3. $15 for a pack of 4!!! That's outrageous. I looked at the disposable Mach 3s but they were also expensive. $10 for a pack of 3. This is bullshit, I told myself. So I went to the dollar store and picked up a 9-pack of generic 3-blade disposables for $3. How bad could they be? I used one this morning to shave and it was fine. Not as smooth as the Mach 3, but it did the job fairly well and my face is still intact. I think I'm going to use these from now on. I'll use on per week, throw it out and then use a new one. Shaving shouldn't be so fucking expensive.

Queerty Reporting The pair were reportedly dating as early as last July when, according to a source close to the couple who spoke exclusively to Queerty, “they met in AA and were kicked out of the chapter for breaking the no-dating rules.” This was around the same time Jackson shaved his head, got a few interesting tattoos and grew a mustache amid his “mutual” split from Lapka. Speculation that Jackson switched coasts and began dating a younger man in order to “start fresh” began, and today, our source clears up come misconceptions about Jackson’s fiance: Jason Landau is NOT an actor, he’s an instructor with The Landmark Forum, a controversial offshoot of EST that’s been under investigation many, many times by state and fed gov’t for cult like activities and ponzi-scheme-like activity.

I can cum pretty quickly when jerking myself off, but I've always had trouble cumming when having sex with someone else. I can fuck for hours or get endless head, but I won't cum unless I jerk myself off. Anyone else have the same condition? Has anyone else been able to resolve this problem?
The hunt is exhausting. The encounter is fleeting. The loneliness seeps in. And then it begins anew. The cycle continues. Like all addictions, there's a cycle. To stop attributing my value to my body and its ability to attract. I want to have relationships away from my screen. So I quit. I deleted all of my sex profiles.
For me, it was a copy of Philip Jose Farmer's novel "A Feast Unknown," a bizarre gay fantasy featuring disguised versions of Tarzan and Doc Savage. I cannot tell you how many times I jerked off to that book.
Of those filmmakers who started their career within the last 20 years (or so) and are currently the critical darlings, who's the most overrated?

In the lead up to the 86th annual Academy Awards, one prevalent meme was that some Oscar voters simply didn't want to watch "12 Years a Slave." As it turns out, that was true: at least two anonymous members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences apparently never saw Steve McQueen's eventual Best Picture winner, this despite placing the film atop their Oscar ballots. The surprising revelation comes via the Los Angeles Times: "All the same, two Oscar voters privately admitted that they didn't see '12 Years a Slave,' thinking it would be upsetting. But they said they voted for it anyway because, given the film's social relevance, they felt obligated to do so." During her Oscars monologue, host Ellen DeGeneres made reference to that kind of thinking with a joke about how the evening might go: "Possibility number one: '12 Years a Slave' wins Best Picture. Possibility number two: You're all racists." The news that some Oscar voters were not planning to see "12 Years a Slave" came to a head after voting for the awards had closed. During an event hosted by Vanity Fair, publicist Peggy Siegal said she had spoken to voters who were reluctant to give McQueen's film a chance because of its content and subject matter. That was confirmed by one anonymous voter in interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The woman said she didn't watch "12 Years a Slave" because she didn't want "more terrible stuff to keep in my head." Said the voter, who self-identified as a senior: "I have never liked movies that have severe violence." Whether this woman was one of the two anonymous voters polled by the Los Angeles Times is unclear. There are more than 6,000 members in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

Network run by top conservative news website is designed to rival Fox News The founder of leading conservative news website Newsmax is planning to launch a new 24-hour cable news network in June, designed to rival Fox News Channel. Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said in a Bloomberg Businessweek profile that plans are in place to launch NewsmaxTV — which Ruddy describes as a “kindler, gentler Fox” — in more than 50 million homes by June via satellite and cable providers. Also read: Donald Trump Pulls Out of NewsMax Debate “Our goal is to be a little more boomer-oriented, more information-based rather than being vituperative and polarizing,” Ruddy told Bloomberg, saying that many viewers feel Fox has become too right-wing. Ruddy — who is not a Republican — said his plans to launch the network are based on a glaring business opportunity within the cable news landscape. Fox News chairman Roger Ailes launched the network 18 years ago, recognizing there was a lack of conservative voices in news media, and since then, Fox has had a complete monopoly on that audience. In fact, the network has been the No. 1 cable news channel by a wide margin for 12 consecutive years. Also read: Fox News’ Roger Ailes Biographer Gabriel Sherman Rebuts Criticism of Sourcing, Defends Reporting “How do you have something so successful in cable that nobody else wants to imitate or cut into their market share?” Ruddy said. “It defies reason. “If we take 10 to 15 percent of the Fox audience, and they are making $1 billion a year, then we are going to be hugely profitable,” he added. The cable network will be an expansion of Newsmax's online broadcast, which is currently available for three live hours per day. NewsmaxTV will start with nine live hours and be available on Dish Network, DirecTV, and cable companies — but Ruddy said the company will not charge providers to carry its programming, at least at the outset. UPDATE 3/7/14: A spokesperson with DirecTV told TheWrap that, while some talks have happened, there is no deal in place to carry NewsmaxTV. ”The statements Newsmax have made in the media are quite perplexing as we do not have a distribution deal in place,” the spokesperson said. “They don't want to pay new networks,” Ruddy said. “[T]hey are actually trying to get rid of the networks they have. So what we are going to do is say, ‘We are going to give you the service free or we will pay you to take us.'” Also read: CNN's Brian Stelter Tops Fox News’ Howard Kurtz in the Demo for First Time Ruddy can afford to make that offer because Newsmax has been very profitable since its inception in 1998. The company saw $103 million in revenue in 2013, up from $85 million the prior year, according to Bloomberg. Half of that revenue comes from newsletter subscriptions and vitamin supplements — which the company has been selling to its 55-year-old average aged audience for years.
Newsmax to Launch ‘Kinder, Gentler’ Right-Wing Cable News Network in June (Updated)
Amnesty International estimates Native women are five to seven times more likely than other women to die of violence in Canada. James Anaya, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous people, who visited Canada last October, called on the federal government to launch a "comprehensive and nationwide" inquiry into the case of missing and murdered aboriginal women The government response is that ALL women need to be protected from violence, not just Native women. And that the laws on the books are enough protection. Yet if over 800 white women were found murdered or missing, would they say the same thing? Or would they act immediately to find out why there is such a high number?

I pointed out that if mayonnaise was supposed to be refrigerated, it would be in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, but logic didn't matter to him. I guess it's not a big deal, but am I a terrible person that I now think lees of him?

Barbara Walters Rips Russia Today Anchor Who Quit: She's Not 'A Hero' (Video)
Organizers of South Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade have rescinded their invitation to a gay rights organization to march and cut off negotiations to end a longstanding ban on gay groups, marking another twist in a controversy that appeared just days ago to be on the verge of compromise. Parade organizer Philip J. Wuschke Jr. said Tuesday that discussions with MassEquality had ceased and that the gay advocacy group would be prohibited from participating. The decision represented an abrupt change in tone after days of negotiations. But Tuesday night, Mayor Martin J. Walsh said negotiations continued, and he remained optimistic a deal was within reach. “I’m hopeful those discussions will be positive and we’ll be able to make an announcement,” Walsh told reporters at an appearance in downtown Boston. “I’d really like to be able to march in the parade a week from Sunday. I’m going to hold out hope until the very end. If [MassEquality is] not in the parade, I will probably not be marching.” At the urging of Walsh, parade organizers broke longstanding precedent and invited MassEquality to participate, but with a significant caveat. Marchers would be barred from wearing T-shirts or holding signs that included the word gay or other references to sexual orientation. “We gave them what we figured was reasonable,” Wuschke said Tuesday afternoon in a telephone interview. “They wanted it all.” The parade’s sponsor, the Allied War Veterans Council, issued a press release accusing MassEquality of lying on its application by “using a ploy to enter this parade under false pretenses,” saying it was not a legitimate veterans group. MassEquality’s executive director Kara S. Coredini did not return phone messages seeking comment. Gay rights advocates urged patience and expressed resolute support for the new mayor. “I would say that it’s not over until the parade starts,” said Sue O’Connell, co-publisher of Bay Windows, New England’s largest newspaper serving the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. “Mayor Walsh is committed to really trying to negotiate this. . . . It’s something he ran on.” Although it is a private parade, the event relies on public resources. In 2013, the city spent more than $315,000 on police overtime for the parade and setting up barricades the day before. The city also incurred costs to clean streets, but police are the most significant expense, city officials said. A spokeswoman for Walsh said parade organizers do not reimburse the city for police costs and do not pay a fee for a parade permit, which was issued Jan. 28 by the Transportation Department. On Tuesday night, Walsh did not seemed inclined to use financial pressure to force parade organizers to include gay groups. “We have to make sure . . . that all the residents of Boston are safe,” Walsh said. “During that parade, a million people come into South Boston.” The controversy over the parade ignited in 1992, when the Allied War Veterans rejected an application to march from the Irish American Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Group of Boston. The group had applied to show solidarity with an organization rejected from the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City, court records show. In Boston, the group known by the acronym GLIB won a state court order and marched “ ‘uneventfully’ among that year’s 10,000 participants and 750,000 spectators,” according to legal records. But parade organizers pressed their case, ultimately landing in the US Supreme Court, which handed the parade organizers a landmark unanimous victory. The court ruled in 1995 that although the parade marched on public streets, it was a privately organized event protected by the First Amendment right to freedom of speech. A parade is a form of expression, the court ruled, and the government could not interfere, even to prevent discrimination against gays and lesbians or any other group.
I was at the gym today and "Another One Bites the Dust" and We Will Rock You" played back to back. I'm 28, so I had no idea that "Queen" did both songs (along with "We Are the Champions") with Freddie Mercury as the lead until a quick wiki search. So my question is: How big was "Queen" here in the states and was it well-known that Mercury was gay? BTW, what a voice.

I keep seeing articles about how proud AJ is that Shiloh wants to be a boy, how often this kid is photographed and the fights AJ is having with Brad's mother about her androgyny. It's like she is trumpeting how liberal (and between the lines gay-friendly) she is. Isn't it terribly unseemly for her to pushing a sexual identity onto a child for publicity? Along the same lines, there are a lot of stories about this woman having sexual relationships as a young teen under her mother's roof, fucking her mom's lover, etc. Apologies if this has been discussed. I don't read these sites often.

Jimmy Kimmel is catching up to Fallon in the ratings. Where is Jay when we need him? "Speaking of Fallon, last night’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon drew a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 with a total viewership of 4.456 million. That’s down 17% in both categories from the show’s February 26 results. While Fallon was down to his lowest number since taking over The Tonight Show, the other Jimmy was up strong and closing the 11:35 PM gap. With a much stronger Thursday primetime as a near lead-in and Scandal’s Kerry Washington as his main guest, Jimmy Kimmel Live got a 1.0 rating in the demo and an audience of 3.555 million. That’s a 100% leap up among the 18-49s from the night before for Kimmel and a 44% rise in viewership from the 2.456 million viewers of his February 26 show. Last night’s JKL was actually the show’s second most watched episode ever after the 3.642 million who watched the January 24, 2013 “Matt Damon Takeover” show. CBS’s David Letterman had a 0.5 rating with 2.710 million viewers, a slight upturn from the night before. Still the fourth show of the second week of Fallon’s new gig equaled the 1.4 rating that Conan O’Brien got on the fourth night of his second Tonight Show week on June 11, 2009. While the demo rating was on par, like the night before Fallon bested O’Brien’s comparable night’s 3.565 million viewers. Like in metered-market results, Fallon was ahead of the 1.14 rating and 4.066 million viewers that Jay Leno got on the comparable night of his Tonight Show return in 2010.)"
Late night with Jimmy Fallon ratings has dropped to it's lowest ratings since taking over.

I'm not talking garden-variety homophobia, but unusual, illogical or even surreal beliefs you held as a child about homosexuality or about gay people. When I was a kid, I thought gay people were mythical beings who only appeared on very special episodes of TV sitcoms.
One of the most stupid things that I've ever heard from a head of State.
I'm not feeling Ellen as a host. Too kiss ass, and safe. Besides, she stunk the last time. It's ridiculous that they've gone back to her. People who've never been asked but would make the show interesting: Madonna (she could even sing the nominated songs, as well as do some controversial, edgy shit like make out with some of the actors and actresses in the audience, or make some interesting and thought provoking statements about art and the current state of cinema. You'd get it all with her.) Lisa Lampanelli (would have people rolling on the floor at home, and the celebrities scared shitless) Faye Dunaway (a regal grande dame of acting bringing a sense of true class and dignity to the ceremonies) Kathy Griffin Sharon Osbourne Joy Behar Joan Rivers (extremely funny, and you could even have her daughter interviewing the winners backstage after they've won.

Life-size version of boat will allow hundreds of people at a time to experience simulation of shipwreck, say bosses A life-sized replica of the Titanic will become the centrepiece of a landlocked theme park in China, featuring a museum and a shipwreck simulation to give visitors a harrowing sense of the 1912 disaster. The Chinese version of "the unsinkable ship", with a price tag of 1bn yuan (£100m) and an expected opening date in 2016, will be built at least 930 miles (1,500km) from the nearest ocean in the central province of Sichuan. Su Shaojun, the chief executive of the Seven Star Energy Investment Group, which funded the project, said Asia needed its own Titanic museum. "We think it's worth spreading the spirit of the Titanic. The universal love and sense of responsibility shown during the Titanic shipwreck represent the spiritual richness of human civilisation," he told a media conference on Sunday. The project aims to be more than a museum that replicates the original ship and the 1997 movie that became a global hit. The simulation will allow several hundred people at a time to feel what the shipwreck was like. "When the ship hits the iceberg, it will shake, it will tumble," Su said. "We will let people experience water coming in by using sound and light effects … They will think: 'The water will drown me. I must escape with my life.'" The Titanic sank on 15 April 1912 during its maiden voyage from the English port of Southampton to New York, taking more than 1,500 lives with it. The 1997 movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, is the second highest grossing film on record after Avatar, bringing in nearly $2.2bn worldwide. Bernard Hill, who played Captain Edward Smith in the movie and flew to Hong Kong to show his support for the Chinese replica, dismissed suggestions that building a theme park based on a tragedy was inappropriate. "It's been approached in a very delicate and a very sensitive way and they are very aware of the extent of the disaster in 1912," he said. "I don't think it will belittle that disaster." Hill said his flight and hotel had been paid for but he did not get any extra money for taking part in the media conference. Construction of the Titanic copy is due to begin early this year. The Romandisea Seven Star International Cultural Tourism Resort will also feature a man-made beach, a "6D" movie theatre and replicas of a Venetian church and European castles.

She played Alice Kramden when "The Honeymooners" became a weekly musical, but her everlasting fame has to come from the Don Loper Original episode of "I Love Lucy."
She struggled with praying to the God she thought "made me 'wrong.'" She was scared her honesty would cause her to lose those close to her. Her decision to open up to the public came in the midst of a judge ruling Kentucky must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and countries.
Now that he's going to do a television, it seems to me impossible that even he could ever say to himself that coming out would damage his career. There are plenty of out younger men on TV whose careers have not suffered (Sean Hayes, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, NPH, Matt Bomer). And he's going to be 53 in just a few weeks. Surely he cannot be so deluded as to think that at this age his coming out would cut him out of young heterosexual heartthrob roles.

On September 16, 2011, early in my sophomore year at Notre Dame, I attempted to take my own life. That day I wanted nothing more than to escape the anguish of coming out to my family, my friends, and, in a way, myself. Death was better than accepting - or revealing - that I was gay. Awakening in my hospital bed to the aftermath, my very first thoughts were of my family - I didn't want them to know I was gay or that I tried to kill myself. Fr. Dan Nolan assured me that they didn't know, and that the events of the previous night would remain confidential should I so wish. Even he was oblivious to my sexual orientation - that secret remained buried. When I was led out of the hospital to the designated psychiatric ward, I was in handcuffs like a criminal. I felt the part. For the next 36 hours I shared a room with a schizophrenic. I was 19 years old, more lost than I'd ever been, and I was scared. I remember thinking: There is no way back from this.... (more at link)

Fifteen years ago, Cate Blanchett was robbed of a Best Actress Oscar for [italic]Elizabeth[/italic]. It's not the first time Academy voters have made a mistake like that and it won't be the last. This year (or rather last year, 2013), Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine was good and Blanchett was very good in it. It wasn't earth shattering but it was certainly enough for a Best Actress nomination. It looked as if Cate Blanchett would win this time but Sandra Bullock was pulling a lot of votes, Dame Judi is greatly respected (and 80 years old) so she was gaining ground and everyone felt sorry for perennial loser Amy Adams, she was getting votes as well (Meryl was never a contender). What actually pushed Blanchett over the finish line was the backlash against Mia Farrow, furious woman scorned for 20 years and counting. Cate (and by extension Woody) won, while Mia and her vicious PR campaign failed. Karma in action.
A Conservative writer is upset that the Oscar-winning movie 12 Years a Slave displays a negative light on slavery, instead of the happy times. Apparently the author of the article believes that being enslaved is a happy time for those who are taken from their country in chains, their families ripped apart, beaten into submission and forced to work grueling hours in the sun for nothing. Politix reports, “But that negativity is merely anti-slavery “propaganda,” according to James Bowman in conservative magazine The American Spectator.” Via American Spectator: If ever in slavery’s 250-year history in North America there were a kind master or a contented slave, as in the nature of things there must have been, here and there, we may be sure that Mr McQueen does not want us to hear about it. This, in turn, surely means that his view of the history of the American South is as partial and one-sided as that of the hated Gone With the Wind. …Yes, there was much cruelty and hardship in the slave-owning South, as there has been in most of the rest of the world most of the time, and Mr. McQueen’s camera is all over that. But it strains ordinary credulity to suppose that there was nothing else. Mary Noble from Politix asks, “We are wondering, was Bowman equally aggrieved by the lack of happy Jews in Schindler’s List?” Even the commenters under the article can’t believe what they just read. One writes, “SWEET FING JEBUS… how in the world could anyone think such a thing as this author writes. I would swear this was the Onion – I’m nauseous thinking about what kind of a person thinks like this.” Another commenter chimed in, “It is such a timesaver for the TROLL to be the AUTHOR of the article!” Another one writes, “I can’t wait to see Bowman’s defense of Darth Vader. Just kidding, Vader’s black.” You have to read some of the comments.

I'm befuddled. I just finished watching Blue Jasmine and maybe I'm just not "getting it" as to why such a fuss was made about it....I didn't think Cate's acting was very good, actually she over-acted throughout most of it. Or maybe the character was just too "simple" for her, that would be Woody's fault. I thought the movie was weak, and the corny music throughout just destroyed any of the relatively good scenes.
I'm sorry BUT bitch looks damn good for 61

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."

and all the accommodations that are projected on them and all the hoops everyone else is expected to jump through because "this generation grew up expecting blah blah blah." FUCK THEM.

Is that what happened when the country had to come to terms with racial segregation? What about the men who did anything and everything during the Great Depression to feed their families and save their houses. Im sure they grew up "differently" than their parents. What about their special needs? Whine, whine, whine. Americans have stepped up and faced crap for hundreds of years. God forbid anyone in this generation have to take a job at an entry level or with some employer that isn't their perfect career fantasy or not get a "97 GOOD smilie face" and "twice the normal time on tests" every paper they have something to do in school.
Researchers at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, led by Associate Professor Dr. David Harrich, say they have developed a form of gene therapy that turns the HIV protein against itself and ultimately stops it from replicating, according to the Australian Times. Harrich himself notes that his research is not an HIV cure. "You would still be infected with HIV," he said, according to the Queensland Institute's statement. "But the virus would stay latent, it wouldn't wake up, so it wouldn't develop into AIDS. With a treatment like this, you would maintain a healthy immune system."

I realize many entertainers are haunted and desperately unhappy when they're not onstage but why couldn't he get healthy, free himself of enablers and make comfortable investments? Anybody know?
I suppose it's okay, now that the children already have proper British accents. "She has lived in London for a decade and calls it her ‘adopted home’, but Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow is moving her family back to Los Angeles. The 40-year-old actress and her rock-star husband Chris Martin of Coldplay plan to make LA their home for at least the next two years. The family will move in time for their children Apple, nine, and Moses, seven, to start the school term in September. A source said: ‘Gwyneth has loved living in London but America will always be home and she wants to be closer to her family. 'Her mother and brother live in California and she plans to spend the next couple of years in Los Angeles while her children are young enough for their education not to be affected. ‘She misses her family terribly and now is the time to move. Her children have English accents and once they start senior school Gwyneth says the family will likely return to the UK because she believes that the English education system is second to none.’"

I've heard this for years, but always thought if you were a "good person", people would want you on their side, help you out, and value you. Not buying into that anymore, at least not from a professional standpoint. Over the past four years, I have seen countless examples of ruthless, manipulative, calculating people getting ahead by lying, being two-faced, stealing work, or simply kissing the right people's asses. It's not in my nature to be cut-throat, so I'd rather have a comfortable life and personally rewarding career than go for the top of that professional mountain. I would get a blog, but it's much simpler to just write this paragraph.

If you're an openly bisexual men, that's got to be a turn-off to most women. There's sort of a double standard with male and female bisexuality. If a woman is bisexual, then men, for the most part, consider it to be hot and edgy. A woman, for the most part, won't lose out on potential relationship opportunities with a man if she's bisexual. But if a man is bisexual, women get turned off by that because they are turned off by the idea of being with a man who may be having anal sex with another man. As a result, bisexual men have more limited options when it comes to women, and greater options when it comes to men. A lot of men who initially identify as bisexual later identify as gay. But could that be because they just don't have enough options when it comes to women? How can a bisexual man ever be openly bisexual if it's going to cost him opportunities with women? Do you think there are any male celebrities who could get away with coming out as bisexual?
Last night I watched a doco called The Day it Snowed in Miami about the 1970's gay rights battle in Florida and Anita Bryant. About halfway through, the film sort of loses its focus and starts to concentrate on the early years of the AIDS epidemic. This leads to look at the crisis in Miami which then led to a segment about Pedro Zamora. They interviewed family and friends and ended the segment on him in probably the most tasteless way imaginable. It seems as soon as he died, his family gathered around his hospital bed to pose for a picture with his dead body. Now, if they had arranged him lying peacefully, eyes closed like he was asleep, that would be one thing. Instead, he is propped up, his lifeless body leaning over, mouth agape and his eyes open and rolled back. Now, I am not a prude or overly squeamish, but really, WTF? Who would want a picture of their dead loved ones? Who would want to pose for a picture with their dead loved ones? And who the fuck would then share that picture with a film crew so they could show it to strangers? Can anyone say they would be cool with their dead body being photographed and shared with the whole world? Maybe its the way I was raised, in my family we never were into the open casket wake thing because we think its kind of creepy and ghoulish. The whole thing really weirded me out.

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?

Rumors have swirled that Janet Jackson and her husband's marriage is on the rocks. Reports indicated that the singer is not happy with being married to Wissam Al Mana and has already filed for divorce. A source reportedly said she has already confided in her close friends and her mother Katherine Jackson that she's preparing to leave him. Another tabloid reported that Jackson will challenge the prenup and will also demand a payout from his fortune. Jackson was previously married to James SeBarge and Rene Elizonda. She also had a long-term relationship with rapper/producer, Jermaine Dupri. She secretly married Al Mana in 2012, whom she began dating in 2010. Back in October, the couple were taking steps to expanding their family by exploring the process of adopting a child from a third-world country. "She now pretty much knows pregnancy is not in the cards, so she's been looking into adopting," a source said at the time. "She's been very moved by the events in Jordan and Syria now that she's been living overseas. Not sure how soon it will happen, but there's been movement on this." Page Six also noted that Jackson even reached out to Queen Rania of Jordan to help out with the process. "Janet has always been concerned about the welfare of the world's children, and it's important to her that she affords a baby the opportunities that have been afforded her," a source told the paper.
Robert Pattison has recently claimed he''s allergic to vagina, but can anyone remember back in 2005/2006 when this hot stud (JARED LETO) said he was "as Gay as a Goose"?? \ I''m surprised no one picked up on that and everyone on DL still thinks he''s straight?? Are we blind or what?
Ok so I was on jack'd and im super picky so this very attractive guy messages me. We chat a bit and exchange phone numbers, pics etc. He's definitely my type. I have a sync on my phone that connects me to peoples facebook via emails and numbers stored. So I happen to stumble across his fb to find out he is married to a woman. He told me he had roommates no mention of a wife meanwhile I have several booty pics of him bent over naked showing his asshole, but he said he had a girl last nov. That he broke up with and is single, but as of feb 27th he has a new pic of him and his wife together. Should I have the right to be upset at him for almost dragging me to participate in adultery? And all I keep thinking is this guy is flaunting his abs and booty hole all over jack'd looking to get fucked. His poor wife which im sure he doesn't use protection with can be subjected to any STD. And he's a very attractive guy. What should I do I'm ignoring him, but what if I could possibly save the wife from getting an STD or HIV. Its been on my brain a lot lately. If I didn't see his fb I would have been blowing homeboys back out on the same bed he shares with his wife disgusted at the thought. I have since closed my jack'd account.

Thanks to widespread public ridicule, Hollywood producers & directors finally got the message and stop repeating such rom-com clichés as montages of retail therapy for the heroine, or scenes where she lipsyncs while holding a hairbrush/spatula/wire whisk as a microphone. But there are some things they still keep repeating in films I never want to see again--such as: *in ghost movies: ghosts with stringy black hair crawling along the shadowy floor, walls, or ceiling *in action films: Mexican standoffs *in biopics of famous singers: the singer's success is shown by a montage of his or her placements on the Billboard charts intercut with scenes of him or her singing in different venues What else?
C'mon, make it happen.

The green beans were those limp olive green things right out of the can. The graxies were from a mix. The owners and waitresses were dimwits and you could tell the chef offended them and hurt their feelings with his suggestions. %0D\ %0D\ Oh, and the chef is totally hawt, but I can''t tell if he pings so I guess he doesn''t.

Several Toronto school trustees want a guarantee from City Hall that there will be no nudity allowed this year in the Pride Parade At issue officials have expressed their concern about the children. Saying gay pride parades are dangerous because of exposed nudity to innocent, impressionable young minds. School Trustee Sam Sotiropoulos, who penned the motion says "I cannot sign off to participating and promoting an event where the laws against public nudity are being flouted,” “This is not Hanlan’s Point (the nude beach on Toronto Island) which has clear signs saying ‘Clothing Optional,’ ” said Sotiropoulos. “We don’t have a disclaimer at the parade and this is supposed to be a family-friendly event.” The motion was co-authored by Trustee Irene Atkinson, who said “it’s simple: I don’t believe males or females should be running around naked in the streets, and if they are, police ought to be called.” Adds city Councillor Doug Ford “You know what’s ironic? I spoke to some folks in the gay community, and they said they weren’t going because they didn’t like the idea of men running — you know, middle-aged men, with pot bellies, running down the street buck naked. And they didn’t feel comfortable that they could bring their kids there,” Doug Ford said. He added: “Do I condone men running down the middle of Yonge St. buck naked? Absolutely not. Maybe there are some people in this city that approve of that, and maybe they can bring their kids down to watch this.”

Please forgive me -- I''m not a film buff like many of you -- but what exactly do you mean by the expression "chewing the scenery"? Can you give me/link to some examples? And where did that phrase come from, anyway?
Clueless on film
I say "stupid" not because I''ve seen it, but the commercials for it make me nauseous with the acappella "dah dah da dah dah dah dahhh" music, tight shots of the cast members looking pensively into the camera or repeating some mega cheesy line, the dark haired woman who seems like she poses for every shot of every scene she''s in.\ \ Seriously, it must be the most douchey show on television if it resembles the commercials in the least.
I am wondering from those who can do it, how long does the asshole last. I mean how many times a week for how many weeks/years before it finally gives out and you have to do some of the surgery?
Why would only humans have them? I can't believe anyone has one if everything doesn't have one.

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]

Event space learns organizers invited Zimmerman to be featured guest A local gun show with about 100 vendors may be canceled after the event space learned the organizers had invited George Zimmerman to be a featured guest. The sign outside The Majestic at 801 North John Young Parkway implies this weekend's gun show is still on. Organizers for "The New Orlando Gun Show" told Local 6 The Majestic canceled their event late Thursday. "We've had discussions with The Majestic and they decided to cancel the event because George Zimmerman was making an appearance," said Mike Piwowarski, who organized the gun show. The gun show organizers recently posted on their Facebook page a picture posing with Zimmerman, but the online comments that followed the picture sparked a controversial debate. It's exactly that kind of polarizing debate that caused The Majestic to shy away from allowing Zimmerman at the event. A Twitter account that Zimmerman has used before tweeted, "another company bowing to threats of being labeled racist. Americans, give them your opinion." "The New Orlando Gun Show" organizers said they have had a year-long contract with The Majestic, but only recently asked Zimmerman to be the featured guest. Promotions for his attendance created controversy. "The event center asked us to do a few things when they found out Mr. Zimmerman was present; pull down posts, pull down announcement that he was going to be there. We did all of that when they asked us to do it. They rescheduled the event. Then they later went on to cancel it again, after we complied with all of their requests," said Piwowarski. If the show remains canceled, Piwowarski and about 100 gun dealers could stand to lose thousands of dollars, which is why gun show organizers plan to go to court tomorrow to try to keep the event running. Piwowarski said his contract said nothing about who can and cannot attend. Local 6 called and emailed managers at The Majestic but no one has replied.

The purpose of this thread is to make this one of the top Google hits for anyone searching for "Is Aaron Schock Gay" or "Aaron Schock Gay". The other purpose of this thread is to let anyone searching for information that Aaron Schock is gay know that he is INDEED gay, he has had more cocks pass through him than through the gloryhole onboard the USS Intrepid, and is a traitor to BOTH the gay community whose semen he can't get enough of AND to the Conservative Christian community that he claims to represent. Feel free to trash this shameless cockgobbler here.

I happened upon this strange ad in the "Strictly Platonic" section of Craigslist. It is bizarre and I ended up showing it to my partner who agreed with me. Is this girl Asperger's or what? What exactly is she looking for? Lonely eighteen year old girl by myself in the dorm for a day. - w4mw - 18 (Corvallis- On Campus) age : 18 Hi. I've never really posted on here, and frankly I'm a bit afraid to. I'm eighteen years old and a freshman staying in the dorms. My roommate will be gone until Sunday afternoon so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to hang out with a close friend while I have the room to myself. Unfortunately, I've always kinda been missing the friend part of the equation. I can be pretty awkward and shy at times. I'm introverted so I don't do too well in groups. I would prefer to hang out with only one person at a time (Sorry couples D=). To describe my appearance, as that seems to be a key point in most of these, I'm a larger girl with a better face than body. I'm not a blob though, and do have some vague feminine shape. I've been told I have pretty eyes as well. You don't have to look like anything really. You could be a shapeless ether for all I care. (I would prefer you to be human though). Actually, I would prefer if you were low-key. I don't really like drawing attention to myself, so if you're some huge burly biker, or cover most of your skin in various metals and inks, sorry. Nothing wrong with those things, though o.o I'm sorta nerdy, I've watched my share of anime and played some games in my life. At the least, I identify with that group more than any other. I don't really know what I am. I don't really fit into anything. Sticking to the whole, "I don't like to draw attention," motif, I would prefer if you were around the average college or graduate student age. Probably the higher 20s is the limit. Then again, if you just look that age that's cool too. I like to think of myself as pretty mature, I would like it if you were too. It would be cool if you're smart, but I'm already being picky. Please don't be really, overtly stupid though. I come from a pretty conservative background, and don't think too fondly on illegal substances and such. I don't smoke, and the drinks I've had have been few. If those are the only ways you can have fun, I would not like to hang out with you. On that note, I'm actually pretty laid back. I'm very open/accepting about sexuality. Just haven't really done much of anything like that. But if anything related to it comes up in conversation, don't bother tip-toeing. YOU HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH SHARING SILENCE. Sorry for the caps, but it's really important. We might talk, but I'm not outgoing enough to maintain that all day--or for however long you stay. Please bring something that you like to read/ or something for you to do (maybe some homework, idk). Yeeeeep. That's one giant wall of text. Sorry.... For guys just reading this for possible subtle invitations{ FOR SEX, if ya didn't get that} (I assume guys do it, 'cause I do it all the time. My mind is like that.) Please note, that won't happen. I mean, we could cuddle or something. I don't really get much personal contact, so that'd be nice. But I'm not comfortable with anything beyond. Soooo, to all those who stuck with me through this novel to the end, just send me a message. I don't know what you should write in it. Maybe your interests? What you'd like to do? When to meet? Idk. I just want to make sure you're not a rapist/and or murder. (Or any other particularly unsavory character.) Yeeep. Sooo, go do that if ya think it's worth it.

He also said he was at the party when that crazy bitch attacked Leo. Q tried to go to Leo when it happened, but his boys pulled him away.

At the IFC Center as part of its Francofest. 56% fresh on RT, but did get a good review in the Times. Here's the blurb from the IFC website about its series: An astonishingly prolific polymath, James Franco has already produced an impressive body of work as an actor, writer, producer and director that would make an artist twice his age jealous. His choices have never feared complexity or controversy, and each new project bristles with the thrill of discovery. We’re thrilled to present this not-even-mid-career survey includes some of Franco’s most notable performances—SPRING BREAKERS, 127 HOURS and more—and a sampling of the features he has directed, among them AS I LAY DYING, BROKEN TOWER, SAL and others. James Franco (born 1978) is an actor, director, screenwriter, producer, teacher and author. He began his career on the acclaimed show Freaks and Geeks and received a Golden Globe Award for his performance in the biographical film James Dean. Notable film credits include OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, SPRING BREAKERS, “Harry Osborn” in the SPIDER-MAN trilogy, MILK and 127 HOURS for which he received Academy Award, SAG and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor. He has directed, written and produced several feature films and numerous short works, and has published novels, poetry, short stories and magazine articles. He is currently teaching college courses at UCLA, USC and Cal Arts and acting classes at Studio 4. He will appear on Broadway this spring in a revival of Of Mice and Men.

Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) said American Jewish organizations are selling out on Israel in favor of the Obama administration. “What has been shocking has been seeing and observing Jewish organizations who, it appears, have made it their priority to support the political priority and the political ambitions of the president over the best interests of Israel. They sold out Israel,” Bachmann said. She said this in reference to a Feb. 27 letter by major Democratic donors, many of them Jewish, to party congressional leaders urging them not to advance new Iran sanctions legislation. “This is clearly against Israel’s best interest,” she said. Earlier in the interview, Bachmann said that Obama “was helped enormously by the Jewish community. He made all sorts of promises in 2008 to the Jewish community through [the American Israel Public Affairs Committee]. He did it again in 2012 when he was running to be re-elected. He made promises that he would have Israel’s back, and in return the Jewish community gave him their votes.” “The Jewish community gave him their votes, their support, their financial support and as recently as last week, 48 Jewish donors who are big contributors to the president wrote a letter to the Democrat [sic] senators in the U.S. Senate to tell them to not advance sanctions against Iran.” As an American Jew, do you agree or disagree with Bachmann?
A New Jersey teenager claiming that her mother and father tossed her out of their home and cut her off financially is suing them for immediate support, current private-school fees and future college tuition. The parents, meanwhile, say that daughter Rachel Canning, 18, moved out voluntarily after refusing to abide by their rules. “We love our child and miss her. This is terrible. It’s killing me and my wife,” Rachel's father, Sean Canning, a town administrator and retired police officer, tells the Daily Record. “We have a child we want home. We’re not Draconian and now we’re getting hauled into court. She’s demanding that we pay her bills but she doesn’t want to live at home, and she’s saying, ‘I don’t want to live under your rules.’” The rules, he notes, include reconsidering her relationship with a boyfriend who may be a bad influence, being respectful, and abiding by her curfew. He and his wife, Elizabeth, who live in suburban Lincoln Park, about 25 miles outside of New York City, have kept their daughter’s car because they paid for it, says Canning, and he admits that they did stop paying Rachel's tuition at the private Morris Catholic High School. A hearing is scheduled to take place on Tuesday in the Morris County Superior Court.
Teen Sues Parents for Cash, College Tuition. Does She Have a Case?
One Direction have already conquered the music world -- now one of the fab five is set to take the football world by storm. Louis Tomlinson has signed a deal with English second division club Doncaster Rovers in one of the most bizarre deals for some time. Tomlinson, who stars alongside Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Pain, is part of biggest and most successful boy band on the planet. One Direction have broken record after record during their rise from losing in Britain's X-Factor competition in 2010 to becoming as big as the Beatles stateside. Managed by music mogul Simon Cowell, One Direction have had 61 album and single number one's world wide with their last album "Take Me Home" reaching top spot in 37 different countries. They are the only UK band to have had their first two albums reach No.1 in the U.S. and have over 18.5 million Facebook fans and 71 million combined followers on Twitter. Tomlinson, 21 was born in Doncaster and has signed a deal which means he could feature for the team at any point this season. He hopes his appearance for Rovers will help raise money for local charity Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. "This has always been a childhood dream for me," he told the club's official website. "I feel very honored to have been asked to sign for Rovers and being able to help both the club and the amazing charity Bluebell Wood is what it's all about." While Tomlinson is used to having thousands upon thousands of screaming "Directioners" cheering at him on stage, he'll be performing in far more modest surroundings at the 15,000 seater Keepmoat Stadium. As a child, Tomlinson used to attend games both as a fan and as a ball boy but his heavy work schedule means he will face a real challenge to be available for a cameo appearance. He will miss Doncaster's first game of the season against Blackpool on Saturday with One Direction set to perform in Las Vegas before the group move onto California. Tomlinson will then be touring Australia and New Zealand in September and October with the band appearing in Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne before moving onto Christchurch and Auckland. But that has not deterred Rovers, with the club fully aware of Tomlinson's ability to lure in new fans. "Louis has always been passionate about football and wanted to realize a dream of signing to his home town club where he once worked on match days," said a statement on the club's official website. "After discussions between Louis, Paul Dickov and media manager Steve Uttley, it was decided that the club could sign him and issue him with a squad number for the 2013/2014 season. "As part of the signing it is hoped that Louis will be able to appear in Rovers colors at some point this season in aid of Bluebell Wood and train with the lads. "Chairman John Ryan and the manager Paul Dickov have given Louis the number 28 shirt for this season to help him raise money for Bluebell Wood."

Daily Mail article decrying pretty famous girls kissing each other in public as marketing tools and publicity seeking. Maybe they're just sexually liberated women who want to push open the boundaries a little and not hide their attraction to their own sex. The article goes on: 'I came out as a lesbian in the Seventies, so you might expect that I would welcome any public depiction of homosexual lifestyles. On the contrary, I think this ‘faux lesbianism’ is far from healthy.'

Canada Supreme Court has ruled if a person lies about using a condom during sex is sexual assault, punishable by 18 months in jail. If two consenting adults engage in protected sex, and one of those adult's deliberately doesn't use a condom during sex. Then there was no consent to have sex. And sex with no consent is Rape 1, which in this case would be sexual assault.

Scary. They were strangled in their sleep. RCMP in New Brunswick believe an escaped snake killed two sleeping boys after moving through a ventilation system into an apartment above a reptile store. An RCMP statement says the two boys, aged five and seven, were sleeping over at a friend's apartment. "Police are investigating two sudden deaths of two young boys," Const. Julie Rogers-Marsh said Monday after the deaths in Campbellton, N.B. It's believed the snake escaped from a pet store called Reptile Ocean. The RCMP released the age of the two boys, but have not yet identified the pair or provided any details about who they were visiting. A python photo posted to Ocean Reptile's Facebook page. It's not yet clear how many snakes were in the store or exactly which type escaped. Rogers-Marsh said the preliminary investigation led police to believe that a python snake escaped its enclosure at the store sometime overnight. Initial information indicates the snake got into the ventilation system and then into the apartment upstairs. "It's believed the two boys were strangled by the snake," she said, noting that autopsies are scheduled for tomorrow in Saint John. Police were called to the residence on Pleasant Street at 6:30 a.m. local time. It's not yet clear how the snake escaped, but police now have the snake in their possession. Initial reports suggested the snake was a boa constrictor. City in shock "This is a tragedy," said Deputy Mayor Ian Comeau. "The city is in shock." Lisa Janes is a co-owner and curator of Little Ray's Reptile Zoo, a private zoo and education program in Ontario and the Maritimes. "We were absolutely shocked and saddened," she said Monday afternoon. "Our condolences go out to the family." She regularly handles exotic snakes and says they can be aggressive, but it's usually for one of two reasons: "They bite because they're feeling scared or threatened, or because they smell food." Janes said snakes don't usually see humans as food. In the New Brunswick tragedy, she said they could have been startled, or smelled something else that was a regular food source in the room. She pointed out that more people are killed by dogs than by snakes. Education is important to understanding and dealing with such animals, she said. In 2009, the province of New Brunswick allowed a wider variety of snakes, lizards and other exotic pets into the province. Under the change, pet stores were then able to sell non-poisonous snakes up to three metres in length. Kevin Craig, a wildlife biologist with the province's Natural Resources department, said in a 2009 interview that pet stores pushed for the change because the province's regulations were more restrictive than other jurisdictions. Corrections and Clarifications An earlier version of this story said the snake in question was a boa constrictor, and that a boy and girl had died. In fact, two boys died and RCMP believe the snake is a python. August 5, 2013 | 4:15 p.m. ET

Fox New host Megyn Kelly cross-examined an atheist activist Thursday night about his group’s lawsuit over a Christian symbol’s inclusion in the 9/11 Memorial. The former corporate litigator belittled claims made by the plaintiffs in the lawsuit and their representative, David Silverman, during her “Kelly Files” program. The president of American Atheists told Kelly that the cross made from steel beams found at the World Trade Center site following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were an inherently religious symbol that did not belong on public property. “The cross is Christian, that it was installed in a religious service on consecrated ground, which makes it a working shrine on public land in the World Trade Center, and we think the atheists who also died on 9/11, and the Muslims and the Jews, should all have their equal presence,” Silverman said. “It’s a very, very fair statement to say, and we think that the World Trade Center is being very disingenuous when they look at us with a straight face and say, ‘Oh, it’s not Christian,’” he added. “Of course, it’s Christian; it’s got ‘Jesus’ carved in the top of it. It’s a Christian cross on public land, and that’s illegal, so we want equal treatment.” But Kelly argued that the cross was a historical artifact due to the circumstances of its discovery. Attorneys for the American Atheists group have asked an appeals court to prevent the cross — which had been displayed at St. Peter’s Church, near the site of the World Trade Center, for five years – from being included in the memorial that’s scheduled to open in May or to also include a plaque honoring the atheists who died in the attacks. “You want them to create something that was not there,” Kelly said. “You want them to create a plaque that says atheists died here, too. That was not there. That was not found in the wreckage at Ground Zero.” Silverman noted that a Jewish star and Hindu holy water were also slated for inclusion at the memorial to offset the Christian religious symbol, but Kelly moved in to attack the plaintiffs’ claims. “Let me ask you this, because you say it’s disingenuous to claim it’s not a religious symbol,” she said, lowering her voice and pinching her facial features in condescension. “Is it a little disingenuous to claim that atheists in your group are suffering dyspepsia and headaches as a result of seeing that cross included at the museum? That’s not disingenuous, that’s true? What is dyspepsia, what happens when they see it?” Silverman said he’s not surprised the plaintiffs are suffering physical and psychological distress when they’re reminded of the traumatic events of 9/11 while also suffering religious discrimination. “Walk me through it,” Kelly said. “When they see the cross…” Silverman tried to explain that the plaintiffs didn’t suffer symptoms as a result of seeing the cross, but from being reminded of the discrimination. “You haven’t answered my question,” Kelly said. “How many people do you have that are going to talk about that dyspepsia?” Silverman said there were five plaintiffs in the suit, and the Fox News host asked if they had all suffered from anxiety, dyspepsia, and headaches. “You’re accusing the other side of being disingenuous so I’m just probing your claims to see if — are they real, David?” Kelly said. Silverman insisted the plaintiffs’ claims were legitimate. “We’re talking about a 20-foot cross with Jesus carved on top of it that was installed by a priest on consecrated public ground,” he said. “They’re saying that’s not religious; that’s crap.” Kelly winced sarcastically and asked if the plaintiffs got headaches immediately upon looking at the cross. “I get a headache when I think about the fact that we’re being discriminated against by our World Trade Center Memorial,” Silverman said.

Just nasty.
Four same-sex couples from Southern Indiana are suing Indiana Gov. Mike Pence in federal court to allow them to legally marry or to have their marriages recognized. Louisville law firm Clay Daniel Walton & Adams announced the lawsuit today at its offices. The lawsuit was filed in Southern District of Indiana, which has a courthouse in New Albany. The couples are from Clark and Floyd counties and it's the only such federal case involving Indiana. Attorney Daniel Canon said during a media conference Friday that Indiana is now under leadership that says his clients do not deserve the same rights, responsibilities and privileges provided to opposite-sex couples, simple because they are in a same-sex relationships. “All of these couples that we represent are like any other opposite-sex couples in the state of Indiana,” he said. “They live as married couples. They raise their kids together. They work and go to church in Indiana. They pay their taxes in the state of Indiana.” Canon said that the U.S. Supreme Court, through United States vs. Windsor, ruled last year that it is unconstitutional to treat homosexual partnerships differently than heterosexual couples. “We are asking the Indiana federal court to recognize what every other court in the country has recognized [since U.S. vs. Windsor].” Canon said. “At this point, I think, it is fairly clear that the people of Indiana can not depend on the legislature to do what is right thing to protect their civil liberties and their constitutional rights, so we have turned to the federal courts.” Canon and his eight clients are taking aim at the Indiana statute that states, “Only a female may marry a male. Only a male may marry a female. A marriage between persons of the same gender is void in Indiana even if the marriage is lawful in the place where it is solemnized.” The law firm is representing four couples in a similar case in Kentucky. In that case, a federal judge ruled last month that the state must recognize legal marriages from other states. Gov. Steve Beshear says he will appeal the ruling, after Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway declined to. On Friday, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said his office will defend Indiana's statutory marriage definition from a legal challenge filed today in federal court. "As state government's lawyer, I must defend the state's authority to define marriage at the state level within Indiana's borders," he said in a release. "People of goodwill have sincere differences of opinion on the marriage definition, but I hope Hoosiers can remain civil to each other as this legal question is litigated in the federal court." By law, Indiana does not recognize marriages of same-sex couples. Also, an amended bill passed this week by the Indiana Senate — which differs from federal law — would continue to allow the state to not recognize same-sex marriages for tax purposes. This means that same-sex couples with legal marriages in other states must file state taxes separately, even if federal taxes are filed jointly. Without the changes to the bill, Indiana could have adopted a new Internal Revenue Service policy giving same-sex marriages equal privileges in tax filings. Supporters say the change was necessary to match Indiana’s ban on gay marriage, while opponents say it’s another instance of discrimination against same-sex couples by the Legislature. The House has already passed the broader tax bill. Because it was amended in the Senate, it will now go to a conference committee. A push by some legislators to get Indiana’s gay marriage ban put to a referrendum where voters could choose to add it to the state’s constitution has stalled this year.

Anyone? Do you find yourself strangely attracted to certain parts of the female body, and have thought about trying sex just once with a woman? I've known a few gay guys like this. One actually did it. Enjoyed it, but was still gay, and didn't want to do it again. He did remark that fucking pussy was great in and of itself, because it gripped his cock and was self-lubricating. The girl was a friend of his. She told him that she came four times - something she never received from a straight guy. In the end, he still liked ass better, but sort of understood straight men better when it came to hetero sex. So, is anyone curious to try it, or have you tried it already? I'm referring to those who already came out as gay, and never tried heterosexuality before coming out. This isn't about people who experimented with both sexes until they figured out their orientation. You're gay, and thought about having sex with a woman for the first time afterward.

Anyone remember Susan Harris's short-lived, post-"Soap" and "Benson"/pre-"Golden Girls" sitcom about a dual career couple living in a Chicago high rise? It starred Richard Crenna and Patty Duke as the couple, with Anthony Edwards (who was hot back then) and Helen Hunt as their kids. The kitchen set used in the show (seen beginning at the 4:15 mark in the following video) was preserved after its cancellation and later used as the "Golden Girls" kitchen, with the only major change being the exterior backdrop seen through the kitchen window, which was switched from a view of neighboring Chicago high-rise buildings to that of palm trees and bushes for "The Golden Girls".
If so, how many inches are you? Remember, it's anonymous.
This show used to be really good, and even as recently as last year was slightly interesting. But it's a massive shitfest now. And Derek is such an asshole I can't imagine any frau wanting him. This is like ER - all the shit that could possibly surprise anyone has already happened.

Have any of you read it yet? Donna Tartt is the kind of writer who makes other writers, in the words of her fellow Southerner Scarlett O’Hara, pea green with envy. Donna Tartt’s novel “The Goldfinch” is partly set in Manhattan. She is so thoroughly well read that she is known to quote entire poems and passages from French novels at length in her slight Mississippi twang. In photos, she projects a ghostly mystery, her porcelain skin and black bob suggesting a cross between Anna Wintour and Oscar Wilde. And her self-confidence is so unshakable that it wouldn’t occur to her to fret that her novels, all three of them, only come out every decade or so. Ms. Tartt, 49, is making a rare emergence from her writerly cocoon for the publication on Tuesday of “The Goldfinch,” perhaps the most anticipated book of the fall season, a 771-page bildungsroman that has been called dazzling, Dickensian and hypnotizing. She avoids most interviews and has zero desire to be a regular on the book-world circuit of panels, readings and award galas. Arriving for lunch last week at a restaurant in Greenwich Village, Ms. Tartt shrugged off her tiny jacket and immediately lamented her discovery on the way over: the Barnes & Noble nearby had closed. “I saw William S. Burroughs there once,” she said, sounding mournful, then jumped into a rat-a-tat history of the book business from before the Internet to the current age of e-books, recalling that when her first novel was published, it was typeset in the old-fashioned, pre-computerized way. “It’s very weird,” she said. “The odd thing about it is that it’s so long between books for me that the publishing world changes completely every time I’m out, so it’s like I’ve never done it before.” Ms. Tartt became an instant celebrity with the publication of “The Secret History,” her 1992 novel about a pack of murderous classics scholars at a private college in New England. The book has sold more than five million copies and has been translated into dozens of languages. It was about two weeks before the publication of that novel that she became spooked by all the attention. The release was accompanied by a profile in Vanity Fair proclaiming that Ms. Tartt was “going to be famous very soon — conceivably the moment you read this.” “I learned pretty early on that I wasn’t cut out for sort of the public, literary....” she said, her voice trailing off, and her light green eyes darting to the side. “Too much noise, too much hubbub, too much.” To her relief, the publicity subsided, and Ms. Tartt went back to her writing, rarely granting interviews or discussing her private life. (For the record, she is unmarried, has no children, and divides her time between Manhattan and the Virginia countryside.) Ten years after “The Secret History,” Ms. Tartt and her publisher, Knopf, released “The Little Friend,” a story set in the South that received much less enthusiastic reviews but still sold briskly. She got back to work on a new novel that had its beginnings during trips to Amsterdam more than 20 years ago. Ms. Tartt is a lifelong keeper of notebooks, and some of the earliest scenes in “The Goldfinch” were taken from notes dated 1993. “I was writing for a while not knowing what I was writing,” she said. “That’s the way it’s been with all my books. Things will come to you and you’re not going to know exactly how they fit in. You have to trust in the way they all fit together, that your subconscious knows what you’re doing.” The book was centered on a 1654 painting by the Dutch artist Carel Fabritius — the “Goldfinch” — that Ms. Tartt, speaking with the authority of an art historian, said is the “missing link” between Rembrandt and Vermeer.

(CNN) -- Ballistic tests show bullets that killed a suburban Washington woman last month are similar to those in two other unsolved killings, police in Virginia said Thursday. "We are looking at these as if they are linked, but until we have evidence that points to only one suspect, we investigate all possibilities," Alexandria Police Chief Earl Cook said at a news conference. The slayings have alarmed the community located across the Potomac River from the nation's capital, raising concerns a serial killer may be responsible. Authorities Thursday renewed their warnings to residents to be "on guard," after announcing their findings from the forensic examinations. The new evidence shows bullets recovered in the killing of music teacher Ruthanne Lodato on February 6 have "the same general rifling class and characteristics and are similar in design to bullets submitted in two other homicides in the city,'' Cook said. Police have said a gunman knocked on Lodato's door late that morning and began shooting. The 59-year-old woman died, and her mother's caretaker was seriously wounded. The survivor helped provide a sketch of the suspect. The previous victims were also prominent in the area. Nancy Dunning, once married to Alexandria's sheriff, was killed in December 2003; and Ron Kirby, director of transportation planning at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, was gunned down last November. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI are assisting local police in the investigation, including sending a profiler. Investigators are also reviewing shootings across the nation for any similarities.

So last week I went to the dermatologist for my annual mole check and to ask about treatment for male pattern baldness. During the check in process with the nurse, I added that my former doctor had prescribed Retin A for me and I was hoping the new doc could renew it. She said "I don't know if we'll have time for that at this appointment." First of all, I'm a little miffed that I'll have to make another appointment to do this. That said, I really only want Retin A for its anti-wrinkle properties. I don't have acne or anything anymore. How would you phrase this request? Can I just say "I want to look young and fresh"?

In his need to demonize the poor, Paul Ryan told the following story at CPAC: [quote]"She once met a young boy from a very poor family, and every day at school, he would get a free lunch from a government program," Ryan said. "He told Eloise he didn’t want a free lunch. He wanted his own lunch, one in a brown-paper bag just like the other kids," he continued. "He wanted one, he said, because he knew a kid with a brown-paper bag had someone who cared for him. This is what the left does not understand." It didnt take long for commentators on TPM to discover this "story" was lifted almost verbatim from the book An Invisible Thread: "Miss Laura," he said, "I don't want your money. I want my lunch in a brown paper bag." "Okay, sure. But why do you want it in a bag?" "Because when I see kids come to school with their lunch in a paper bag, that means someone cares about them. Miss Laura, can I please have my lunch in a paper bag?"

My sister''s husband. He''s terribly good looking, but he has BDF for dayuzzz! Also has large ears, some of the biggest, meatiest hands I''ve ever seen on a man, and a rather pronounced bulge. Every time I see him, I find myself pulling down his underpants with my eyes and imagining just how big and thick that piece of meat must be. I''ve JO-ed a few times thinking about him and what I imagine his cock to look like. I sometimes feel guilty over this, but I can''t help myself from fantasizing about his dick. Does this make me a bad person?
Everyone remembers the jawdroppingly bad Rob Lowe/Snow White number from that year's show, but people forget this was even just as bad.

Blair Underwood!) and dancing (the kickline in the final seconds!) is so bad it's hard to imagine. The video quality is horrendous, but this is the only version of it I could find on the web.

It's actually funnier than Jimmy Fallon's show but that's not saying much. Seff was just a complete dear in headhights during the monolog. It had no flow at all.

Hopefully he can get better. His vin diagrams were funny though.
Not even a 5-year-old boy with cancer could persuade egotistical actor Andrew Garfield to be a presenter at the Academy Awards. The “Spider-Man” star was supposed to take the stage Sunday with Miles Scott, who has come to be known as “Batkid” after the city of San Francisco let him play superhero there. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences had arranged with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to further make Miles’ dreams come true. “The academy was going to make him an official superhero during the Oscar ceremony. Andrew Garfield was going to appoint him ‘Batkid.’ But, in the middle of the dress rehearsal, Garfield decided he didn’t like his lines,” said a well-placed source. “Garfield refused to go by the script. He came up with his own lines. The producers felt that Garfield’s [rewrites] were not appropriate. Garfield had a tantrum. He stormed off. Miles and his family, who were at the rehearsal, were devastated.” The producers decided to cut the superhero initiation, but they paid for Miles to go to Disneyland. “Garfield was such a spoiled brat that he didn’t even want to be a presenter,” said my source. The academy had to call “Captain America” star Chris Evans to sub at the last minute. Garfield’s agent at CAA didn’t get back to me.

"Look at how she has operated in the past with these types of responsibilities. She was in charge during the Benghazi debacle. If a person reads the Senate Intelligence (Committee) report and the House Foreign Affairs (Committee) report released (last) week, it is damning for Hillary Clinton." "She has a real problem when it comes to Benghazi," says Bachmann. Clinton, she adds, must answer for what happened. In addition, she says, Clinton is "the godmother of Obamacare," trying "behind closed doors" to push through something similar when Bill Clinton was president. "Effectively she would be Obama's third and fourth term in office." That might scare enough people to vote for the Republican nominee. "I think there was a cachet about having an African-American president because of guilt." (Presumably she means because of slavery and the lengthy denial of civil rights to blacks.) "People don't hold guilt for a woman," she says, adding that while people vote for women for virtually every other office "I don't think there is a pent-up desire" for a woman president. She says while Obama was "new and different," Hillary Clinton has been around a long time and is less likely to stir the juices as Obama did.
What the fuck? I have lost 45lbs over the last several months by eating only fruit, vegetables and grilled chicken or fish. I decided to have one 'cheat meal', a couple spicy salmon rolls at a nice sushi place. It was delicious, and a nice change, as I hadn't eaten rice for months. Also, I rarely eat out, so it was a fun treat. I stepped onto the scale the next morning and was horrified. How the hell did that happen? Of course I went right back to my regular healthy meals, but it's been three days and I'm still up by 6lbs. Is this what happens when you diet and then eat a few hundred calories over what you are used to?

So many of the places are rundown -- without a designer's sure touch! And there's no kale there! [quote]“New Orleans is not cosmopolitan,” said the actress Tara Elders. “There’s no kale here.” Her husband, Michiel Huisman, the actor and musician who moved here with Ms. Elders in 2009 to shoot the HBO series “Treme” (he’s currently on the series “Nashville”), agreed. “The sign on a shop says that they’ll open at 10? You’re there at noon and it’s not open,” he said. We were sitting outside at Sylvain, a restaurant in the French Quarter that Mr. Huisman said “takes Southern cuisine and pushes it a bit more modern.” With its elegant but rustic décor, cocktails featuring noirish names (Blood in the Gulfstream, Dead Man’s Wallet), and inventive food, Sylvain wouldn’t be out of place in Brooklyn — but Ms. Elders said spots like this are still the exception. “So many of the cool places here are really rundown,” she said. “And not because a stylist designed them that way.”

For years, the payments went out of the woman's bank account. Nobody batted an eyelid. Bills were paid. And life went on as normal in the quiet neighborhood of Pontiac, Michigan. Neighbors didn't notice anything unusual. The woman traveled a lot, they said, and kept to herself. One of them mowed her grass to keep things looking tidy. At some point, her bank account ran dry. The bills stopped being paid. After its warnings went unanswered, the bank holding the mortgage foreclosed on the house, a common occurrence in a region hit hard by economic woes. Still, nobody noticed what had happened inside the house. Nobody wondered out loud what had become of the owner. Not until this week, when a worker sent by the bank to repair a hole in the roof made a grisly discovery. The woman's mummified body was sitting in the backseat of her car, parked in the garage. The key was halfway in the ignition. Authorities say they believe the woman died at least six years ago. They're still trying to figure out what happened. "I've been doing this 37 years. Never seen anything like this before," said Undersheriff Mike McCabe of Oakland County, Michigan, just outside Detroit. Rarely heard from The woman, who authorities aren't identifying until they've informed her family, paid her bills from her bank account through auto-pay, according to McCabe. Neighbors said they didn't know much about the dead woman, describing her as in her 40s and of German descent. "She really kept to herself. We never really heard anything from her," neighbor Caitlyn Talbot told CNN affiliate WXYZ. Talbot said she wasn't aware of anyone having seen the woman, who traveled a lot, in about six years. "She was probably there for a couple of days, then she'd leave for a week, then she'd come back. Then she'd leave for a month and come back," Talbot said. McCabe says neighbors chalked up the woman's absences to her returning to Germany for long periods of time. Despite years without a living owner, the house was never broken into, he said. Authorities told WXYZ that the house appears to have black mold inside it, and that detectives entered the building Thursday wearing hazardous material suits. Another neighbor, Darryl Tillery, told the Detroit Free Press that mail never piled up at the house and the lawn never grew out of order. McCabe said one of the neighbors cut the grass for years. Cause of death undetermined Police were dispatched to the house for a welfare check in 2007 after a neighbor reported not having seen the owner in a while. After seeing no signs of anything amiss, police went on their way, McCabe said. Authorities are still waiting for a toxicology report, which will take four to six weeks, before determining the cause of death. The medical examiner found no signs of trauma to the body, McCabe said. Dr. Bernardino Pacris, the county deputy medical examiner who conducted the autopsy, told the Detroit Free Press that the woman's skin was still intact, but that the internal organs had decomposed. Pacris told the newspaper that during the mummification process, skin develops a parchment-like consistency and leathery texture. Finding a body in such a condition is unusual, he said, but "once in a while, we see this." Attempts by CNN to reach Dr. Pacris late Thursday were unsuccessful.
Brittany Murphy's cause of death has come into question following a lab report that allegedly suggests the actress may have been poisoned. Murphy died in 2009 at the age of 32. Her death, which was concluded to be accidental, was attributed to multiple drug intoxication, pneumonia and "iron deficiency anemia." Five months later, her husband, Simon Monjack, was also found dead. The 40-year-old was said to have also died of pneumonia and anemia. Last year, Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, sued the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office and the Los Angeles Police Department to get further toxicology reports, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He accused the departments of "failure to conduct toxicology tests on the specimens" of hair and attested "his daughter’s death was incorrectly determined to have been allegedly caused by pneumonia and anemia.” After Bertolotti filed the lawsuit, Julia Davis, a screenwriter who worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and was working on a biography about Murphy, raised the possibility of poisoning. "It was highly disturbing to find out that they've neither tested, nor ever intended to test Brittany or Simon’s hair for toxins, poisonous substances and heavy metals," she wrote in a press release, obtained by THR. "These two deaths were simply written off to natural causes, but we don’t agree with this conclusion... The truth will eventually come out, we’ll make sure of it.” The lawsuit was dismissed, but Bertolotti reportedly secured the release of Murphy's hair, blood and tissues for independent testing, according to the Examiner. He sent the samples to the Carlson Company in Colorado for analysis. Results supposedly showed the presence of 10 heavy metals above the "high" level set by the World Health Organization. "Since the autopsy narrative recorded a number of symptoms synonymous with poisoning, I requested testing for heavy metals/toxins," Bertolotti wrote in an email to The Huffington Post Monday. "My suspicions were confirmed. Ten heavy metals were found in abnormally high quantities (as much as 9 times over the 'high' limit designated by the World Health Organization). These types of heavy metals/toxic elements are commonly found in rat poison, pesticides, insecticides, etc. Since neither Brittany nor Simon would have willingly consumed any such substances, the lab concluded that they may have been introduced by a third party with criminal intent." He has sent formal requests to the authorities "demanding" the deaths be "properly" investigated based on these recent results. Bertolotti, it seems, wants to clear Murphy's and Monjack's names. “Vicious rumors, spread by tabloids, unfairly smeared Brittany’s reputation,” he told the Examiner. “My daughter was neither anorexic nor a drug junkie, as they repeatedly implied. Brittany and Simon were ridiculed by The Hollywood Reporter, when they complained of being under surveillance and in fear for their lives. I will not rest until the truth about these tragic events is told. There will be justice for Brittany.” After Murphy's sudden death, rumors circulated about anorexia, an accidental overdose and even suicide, ABC News previously reported. Mold was speculated to be a factor in the deaths, but Los Angeles County assistant chief coroner Ed Winter dismissed the gossip. "At the time of their death, both of them were in very poor health. I don't think they ate correctly or took care of themselves. They didn't seek medical attention," Winter told ABC News, but he admitted the eerily similar deaths were "unusual."

Hollywood is always on the lookout for blockbuster stories, and this coming Monday it will get the juicy details about how a producer working in Tinseltown since the late 1970s led a double life as an arms dealer and Israeli intelligence operative. Arnon Milchan, the Israeli producer of such smash hits as "Fight Club," "Pretty Woman," and hundreds of other films, is opening up for the first time ever about his involvement in clandestine deals to acquire arms for Israel and his work to promote the country's alleged nuclear program. The film tycoon sat down with Israeli investigative journalist Ilana Dayan for the season premiere of her current affairs show "Uvda" ("Fact"), in which he discusses his efforts to engage Hollywood colleagues in his work for Israel's Defense Ministry. Keshet's show is scheduled to air Monday, November 25, on Israel's Channel 2. This isn’t the first time Milchan's role in Israeli arms dealings and intelligence has surfaced: Just two years ago authors Meir Doron and Joseph Gelman published a book titled “Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon Arnon Milchan" – which alleged that Milchan was an operative for Israel's Bureau of Scientific Relations. The bureau, headed by spy-masters Benjamin Blumberg and Rafi Eitan, gathered information for secret defense-related programs, including Israel's alleged nuclear program. The bureau was closed after Jonathan Pollard was arrested for spying on behalf of Israel in 1986. The "Uvda" report does, however, contain some shocking new details about Milchan's work, including claims that other Hollywood bigwigs like the legendary, late director Sydney Pollack and at least one other Academy Award-winning actor, both figured into his work for Israel. The report reveals that Pollack, who died in 2008, acquired arms and other military equipment for Israel in the 1970s. When asked if Pollack knew about the details of the deals, Milchan tells Dayan, "Pollack knew, but I didn't want to scare him because he's American… He could have said 'no.' He said 'no' many times, but he also said 'yes' many times." Milchan also tells Dayan that he used at least one big-name actor's star quality to lure U.S. scientist Arthur Biehl – an expert on nuclear weapons and a co-developer of the hydrogen bomb – to a meeting. According to the report, Milchan invited Biehl to the actor's home under the pretense that the actor was seeking scientific advice for a project he was working on. Milchan said he thought Biehl would cooperate because, "Anyone who lives in California is a 'star-fucker…' They hear 'star'…they come running." The producer also confides in Dayan that his double-life wasn't always easy to lead, particularly when what he really wanted was to dedicate himself to filmmaking. "In Hollywood they don’t like working with an arms dealer, ideologically," he said. "[They don't like working] with someone who lives off selling machine guns and killing. Instead of someone talking to me about a script, I had to spend half an hour explaining that I'm not an arms dealer..." Milchan continued, "If people knew how many times I risked my life, back and forth, again and again, for my country. And suddenly, [I have to] defend myself – 'I'm not an arms dealer, I don't sell guns, I don't sell rockets ' I should have been aware of that, of what I'll go through, and said, 'Fuck you.' You know what, I did it for my country and I'm proud of it." The show also features interviews with Robert De Niro, Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and other major Hollywood players. Meanwhile, New Regency films, Milchan's company, is working on four films slated for release in 2013-14, including "Noah," a Darren Aronofsky-directed take on the Biblical flood story starring Crowe, Emma Watson and Anthony Hopkins.

"Taylor Lautner did his absolute best not to be distracted by the pretty cheerleaders dancing just inches away from him as he sat courtside at the UCLA Bruins basketball game in Westwood, California on Thursday. The 21-year-old appeared decidedly coy as he looked anywhere but at the ample amounts of exposed skin being paraded around, knowing full well that all eyes were trained on him. The star was perfectly well behaved during the game against the Stanford Cardinal - which UCLA won 91-74 - no doubt much to the relief of his girlfriend, Marie Avgeropoulos, with whom he's been in a relationship since last July. He did, however, cosy up with one lucky lady for a photo during the half-time show at the game held at the Pauley Pavilion. The female in question was the Bruins' mascot - a bear dressed in a cheerleader's outfit complete with yellow bow on her head. Taylor showed off the bulging biceps he worked so hard to achieve to play wolf Jacob Black in the Twilight series in his tight-fitting black T-shirt. He paired the simple top with dark jeans and black high-top sneakers, while he sported scruffy facial hair. With shooting recently wrapped on his latest flick, Tracers - the movie on which he met his now-girlfriend - the hunky actor appears to have some free time on his hands before promotion of the parkour action film gets underway in coming months. The one-time hot commodity - who turns 22 on February 11 - doesn't currently have any new projects in the works following a busy few years. His new lady love's career, on the other hand, is going from strength to strength. The 27-year-old, who previously starred in Cult, is gearing up for the premiere of her new CW sci-fi series The 100 on March 19."

OK, so it seems like every fictional show produced by the BBC in the past five years and exported to the U.S. has at least one biracial couple on it. It's a bit embarrassing, but even in 2014, it is a rare thing in an American TV show or movie to see a biracial couple. So, I wanted to ask all of the Dataloungers from the U.K. is this a fairly commonplace thing in your culture? In several British shows, they will have a scene in a pub where a hetero black & white couple will kiss, and nobody bats an eye: is this actually how your culture is today? I am hoping you will say it is, as it is unfortunately not the case here in many places.

Plucking a few events out of the vastness of the world and declaring them to be the news of the day is a mysterious and complicated project. Sometimes what’s news is inarguable—the outbreak of war, a head-of-state transition, natural calamity—but very often it falls into the category of the resonant incident. It isn’t a turn in the course of history, but it strikes editors as illustrative of something important. Take crime. If crimes don’t involve anyone powerful or well known, they generally aren’t considered news. But a few such crimes do become news, big news, and hold the public’s imagination in a tight, enduring grip. An excellent example is the murder of Kitty Genovese, a twenty-eight-year-old bar manager, by Winston Moseley, a twenty-nine-year-old computer punch-card operator, just after three in the morning on Friday, March 13, 1964, in Kew Gardens, Queens. The fact that this crime, one of six hundred and thirty-six murders in New York City that year, became an American obsession—condemned by mayors and Presidents, puzzled over by academics and theologians, studied in freshman psychology courses, re-created in dozens of research experiments, even used four decades later to justify the Iraq war—can be attributed to the influence of one man, A. M. Rosenthal, of the New York Times. REST AT LINK

She lost her boyfriend Cory Monteith unexpectedly last summer, and now Lea Michele is finally opening up about his death in the December 2013 issue of ELLE magazine During her interview with the publication, the "Glee" star shared her true feelings about losing Cory and revealed how Kate Hudson helped her through the ordeal. On getting through Cory's passing: "I never thought I would be in this position in my whole life. Now that I am in this position, you can choose to rise, and that's what I'm going to try to do. I know that Cory would want nothing more than for me to take this situation and use it to help people." On Kate lending a helping hand to her: "I called [Kate Hudson] and said, 'I don't know where I'm going to go because my house is swarmed [with reporters].' She was like, 'Oh, you're going to stay at my house.' Like it was nothing. No one knew I was there. I'll never really be able to thank her, truly, for what she did for me." On taking time away from the cameras: "It's very hard. And you have to be very strong to come out of this alive, but I think by doing the best for myself, by showing that you don't have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of strength or comfort."

Not even a 5-year-old boy with cancer could persuade egotistical actor Andrew Garfield to be a presenter at the Academy Awards. The “Spider-Man” star was supposed to take the stage Sunday with Miles Scott, who has come to be known as “Batkid” after the city of San Francisco let him play superhero there. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences had arranged with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to further make Miles’ dreams come true. “The academy was going to make him an official superhero during the Oscar ceremony. Andrew Garfield was going to appoint him ‘Batkid.’ But, in the middle of the dress rehearsal, Garfield decided he didn’t like his lines,” said a well-placed source. “Garfield refused to go by the script. He came up with his own lines. The producers felt that Garfield’s [rewrites] were not appropriate. Garfield had a tantrum. He stormed off. Miles and his family, who were at the rehearsal, were devastated.” The producers decided to cut the superhero initiation, but they paid for Miles to go to Disneyland. “Garfield was such a spoiled brat that he didn’t even want to be a presenter,” said my source. The academy had to call “Captain America” star Chris Evans to sub at the last minute. Garfield’s agent at CAA didn’t get back to me.

The Next Big Fight — Bryan Lambert Memo to America: CAN WE DO ABORTION NEXT? First, the good news. We're winning the gay marriage thing. It'll still be a while before you can get gay-married in Alabama, but we have clearly reached a tipping point that four years ago I would have said we were about six years away from. Obviously we need to keep fighting. So as we collectively have to spend less and less progressive energy on this cultural issue, I'd like to propose we put that energy into a long-neglected cultural issue: abortion. Because we're losing on abortion just as surely as we're winning on gay marriage, and we really, really don't want to lose on this one. And the main way we're losing? Republican new-found love of regulation. Conservatives go on and on about "job-killing regulations", and there's an aspect truth to that. You can in fact over-regulate a business out of existence, and so a number of southern states have imposed or are trying to impose epic, onerous regulations to try to close down their states' few remaining abortion clinics. Alabama is the latest to try this. There are five whole places to get an abortion in Alabama, which, for the Bible Belt, is a lot. If my research is right, that's as many as we have in Minnesota. The same type of regulation may well close the only abortion clinic in all of Mississippi. Basically, the trick is to require a board-licensed physician with admitting privileges at a local hospital present for every abortion. Neither precaution is necessary, especially the latter one. Getting admitting privileges is complicated and costly, and there's nothing stopping hospitals from denying those privileges just because they don't like abortion. But the regulations SOUND helpful, and that's the sneaky part. Like many things in the world, this is largely the fault of weak-ass Democrats from the last two decades. It's long past time we stopped being ashamed of abortion and started embracing it. The "legal, safe and rare" line sounds good on paper, but it maintains the stigma on abortion that keeps doctors from learning to perform them, medical facilities from wanting to provide them, and women from being able to have them. Abortion is a method of birth control. It's an effective method of birth control. It's a perfectly valid method of determining when and if you will have children. That's a message you never hear, and should, because it's true. It's also true that abortion is an incredibly inefficient form of birth control. It's resource-intensive, which is why conservatives have been able to attack it by attacking the resources required to perform it. So abortions should be rare in the sense that it should be used when other, more efficient, more available methods of birth control fail, but that's a purely pragmatic argument, not an emotional, ick-factor, trying-to-find-a-middle-ground-with-religious-nuts argument. The emotional argument shouldn't be "Enh, abortion, I guess." It should be "FUCKING YES, ABORTION." We should be working to make abortion less resource intensive. More research on abortifacient medicines. RU-486 is TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD. Twenty three years ago we were using Commodore Amigas, but now, in the age of the iPad, we're still using a 16-bit abortion drug? You know why? Because of the stigma. The stigma is cultural. Cultural stigmas can be reversed. And it needs to be reversed, because otherwise, Roe V Wade will continue to become irrelevant. I'm sure private dodo ownership is legal too, but it doesn't matter how legal it is if you can't actually get one. And when you can't actually get an abortion, women become slaves to their reproductive cycles, second class citizens relegated to womb duty in deference to the all-important fetus. It's a battle we can and should win, but only if we actually fight it.
I start this conversation with this caveat : As a gay man I have never felt I had a say in the abortion debate because I thought a) I will probably never a girl pregnant, and b) a woman's body is her own property and matter. I wouldn't want anyone telling me how I should run my body, unless it there was a major health concern at issue. I don't like the killing of a living thing but it's not my right to judge. But abortion, it seems is making a comeback. Lots of states are trying to severely limit access to abortion, or criminalize it out right. In fact I think North Dakota has outlawed it. And some back alley quack in Philly was performing late term abortion( or alleged late term abortions) in the worst and most unclean way. It would have been cleaner to do it in the bathroom in " Trainspotting". Now he is on trial. And should the morning after pill be available to my thirteen year old niece? Or will that access lead to fewer abortions or more randy sex. It seems that this culture is still confused about a woman's equality and her sexual repercussions . Women carry a greater burden having sex. Both from a physical strength point of view and an after effects one. Why on earth would a free country entertain the notion that you can control a woman's body,and ultimately her sexual desire, if you close off a safe exit plan? And rich woman in America, as early as the 1800's, were able to get safe, clean abortions. There is also a class problem underneath the bigger question. But I want to hear your thoughts about abortion. What do you think?

A Russian news website published a photograph today that it claims is the first to show US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden since he emerged from a Moscow airport in August. In the blurry image published by Life News, a casually dressed man sporting a goatee with sunglasses perched on his head is pictured pushing a supermarket trolley full of groceries across a road. A car with partly legible Russian plates and a crossing sign identify the scene as in Russia. 'The photograph was taken in Moscow,' said Life News, which is known for its close ties to the Kremlin and security services. There has been no reported sighting of Snowden since he walked out of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on August 1 after obtaining temporary asylum in Russia despite protests from Washington. The 30-year-old former CIA contractor is wanted by the United States after revealing details of massive surveillance by the National Security Agency to the media. Snowden's Russian lawyer Anatoly Kucherena has said he is living in a secret location in fear of being tracked down by US law enforcers. Life News published video extracts from an interview with Kremlin-friendly Kucherena, who refused to confirm that Snowden is living in Moscow. 'Let's take as a starting point that on the photograph that came into your possession you can't see the region or anything, only numbers (on a car number plate),' he said. The photograph, if genuine, also does not show the bodyguards who Kucherena says accompany Snowden. It was not clear when the photograph was taken, however it is likely to be several weeks old as it is now autumn in Russia and the picture shows trees covered with green leaves. Life News, which is the online wing of popular tabloid Tvoi Den, wrote on a Russian social networking page that it paid 100,000 rubles (about $3,000) for the photograph submitted via its website. Kucherena last month told Itogi weekly magazine that Snowden manages to walk around in disguise. 'He would walk past you and you wouldn't recognise him,' he told Itogi. 'It's a question of clothes and small alterations to his appearance... He really does walk freely around on the streets.' Life News pointed out that the man resembling Snowden did not seem to be economising on his supermarket shop, with a trolley containing at least half a dozen bags - despite claims by Kucherena that the American is running out of money. 'As you can see the former special services employee has picked up a full trolley of food according to American tradition. That clearly cost more than one thousand rubles,' it wrote. Kucherena told the website that '(Snowden) is living in quite a poor way as he has practically no money'. The photograph appears to show Snowden breaking Russian law by jaywalking, Life News added, an offence for which he could be fined. Life News, known for eye-catching scoops, in August published photographs showing Snowden walking out of Sheremetyevo airport with a huge grin on his face. None of the journalists keeping watch at the airport spotted him at the time and it was not clear how the website obtained the photographs.

Let's name them! Raymond Burr - invented a bunch of fake ex-wives and fake kids for himself. He even received sympathy notes from fans for the death of his imaginary son! Liberace - sued a paper for saying that he was gay (and he won!) Randy Travis - marrying his old lady manager after a tabloid outed him John Travolta - entered into a sham marriage after being outed. Sued Gawker for printing the truth about him
It seems epidemic. Some kind of arrested development? Or are they considered pedophiles?

Is anyone familiar with this case? They have security cam footage of her on an elevator in a hotel that has had a slew of suicides talking to herself, looking paranormal. She managed to get to the roof of the hotel and drowned in a water tank. Her body wasn't discovered until two months later. Those staying at the hotel told how bad the water had tasted. Here's the film news: Sony Pictures has reportedly bought a script based on the death of Elisa Lam, the former UBC student who was found dead in Los Angeles last year. The script, written by Phillip and Brandon Murphy, focuses on a man investigating Lam's death who then gets drawn in to further mysteries, according to Deadline.com. The project, currently titled “The Bringing,” is described as a horror movie. A former friend of Lam’s, who asked to remain anonymous, said he’s disappointed to see Lam’s death trivialized. “Hollywood looks like they're trying it capitalize on it while it's fresh,” he said. Lam was found dead in a water tank on top of the Cecil Hotel in February of last year after going missing in January. The county coroner's office later ruled the 21 year-old’s death as an accidental drowning. Surveillance video showed her acting strangely in a hotel elevator, pushing several buttons, hiding in a corner and then peering into the hallway. Authorities listed Lam’s bipolar disorder as a significant condition in her death. Toxicology tests turned up no signs of foul play or drug use, and the coroner declared the file closed.

Ha! Meth might’ve eaten Aaron Carter’s face and any dignity he had in his being, but it didn’t eat the undying love he feels for Hilary Duff. Hilary and Aaron “dated” when they were just 13 years old and that was over 14 years ago, but every night he blasts “Come Clean,” crawls into his Lizzie McGuire sleeping bag and as he stares at the photo collage of her he pasted onto his ceiling, he faps while crying. My thoughts and prayers go out to Aaron Carter’s neighbors who every night have to block out the sound of him fap-crying while screaming out the lyrics to “Come Clean.” Aaron has let it be known on Twitter before that he wants Hilary Duff back. And yesterday, the Romeo of Florida once again figuratively threw tiny rocks at Hilary Duff’s bedroom window when he re-tweeted a picture of her and then spilled out this declaration of love, which will later be used in court when Hilary Duff tries to get a restraining order against his ass. Don’t be that stupid douche that loses the love of your life forever.. Like me… I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to better myself to get back to her. I don’t care what ANY of you think. That tweet just gave me an anxiety attack ..people who have no idea who I am and/or what I’ve been through. If you’re that interested watch my interviews or google me. At least I’m real and don’t hide behind the persona of being a celebrity and an entertainer, &try to portray positive feelings all the time On a lighter note it’s almost Easter and I want tons of candy to eat!! Lindsay Lohan probably DMed Aaron with, “Aw, I never stopped loving you either, got any coke?” But Aaron told one of his followers that he was talking about his childhood girlfriend Hilary Duff. If you think it’s creepy that Aaron is still slobbering over a girl he dated when he was 13, then you’re obviously the kind of monster who shits on true love and stabs cherubs for fun. Because true love will always prevail! 50 years from now, Aaron will be laughing at all the haters who thought he was a creepy motherfucker while cuddling on the couch with his wife of 49 years Hilary Duff as they watch their grandchildren play on the rug. You know, I think I just described the scene that Aaron is going to daydream about in his jail cell after the cops catch him licking Hilary Duff’s dirty panties in her bedroom. And welcome to your future, Justin and Selena.

"The Pitt-Hanks Continuum" is my new phrase du jour... The toughest Oscar race this year was for best actor. Right until the awards began, the race was almost certainly down to Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave and Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club. (McConaughey was the eventual winner.) What also seemed certain was that Leonardo DiCaprio was not going to win this year, or possibly any time soon, unless he becomes a different kind of actor, a much less cool one. Cool guys don’t win Oscars. Although modern coolness emerged out of jazz and spread through popular music, the movies brought cool to the masses by giving audiences unparalleled access to it. Where else can you sit and stare at cool people for hours? The movies have been good to cool, and cool has been good to the movies. So why is it that so few of the actors who have embodied cool have ever won the Academy Award for best actor? Consider these icons of cool, all of them non-winners: Cary Grant, Richard Burton, Robert Mitchum, James Dean, Steve McQueen, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, and Tom Cruise. Paul Newman and Humphrey Bogart won late in their careers, after age had worn away some of their cool. Two other cool winners, Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson, each received one of their two awards in their fifties.
It looks fucking stupid.

Otters have a reputation of being cute and cuddly animals, but photos were recently re-posted on Facebook that show a side of the carnivorous mammal that will probably surprise you. Photos taken by Geoff Walsh in the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge in DeLeon Springs, Florida show an otter biting down on a young alligator. According to Facebook comments by the refuge, the otter was able to drag the alligator to land, at which point the prey stopped resisting. They were no longer visible, but when “crunching noises” were heard, it was clear that the otter was feeding on the reptile. The Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge notes that, “Despite their disarmingly cute appearance, otters are the apex predator of many fresh water habitats.” A YouTube search reveals otters battling with various large species including this video from the BBC of giant otters fighting for an hour with a Caiman, from the alligator family.

Isaiah Washington is set to reprise his role as the heart surgeon/former flame of Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) in an episode airing in May. This marks Washington’s first appearance on the ABC medical drama since season 3, when his character left Cristina at the altar and the actor was let go from the series. Creator Shonda Rhimes said in a statement that the character’s return is an integral part of providing closure to Cristina Yang, whose portrayer Oh is set to leave the series at the end of this season. ”It’s important to me that Cristina’s journey unfolds exactly as it should,” Rhimes said. “Burke is vital to that journey — he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang.” Since leaving Grey’s Anatomy, Washington has appeared in bit parts on TV shows like Single Ladies and Law & Order: LA and will next appear in the CW’s 100, premiering this month.

I mean, he never said a peep about it until the mid-90s, plus he was married to a woman. How could he be gay when he obviously liked vagine enough to marry it. Besides, we all know deep down gay men really want pussy and are just scared because of childhood issues. I think that guy David Furnish is just his manager or something and they are just trying to get publicity with that gay thing.
I think it's because he's like the black version of "twee."

I love feet. I find them sexy. I don''t necessarily feel the need to lick them or suck on toes. But seeing a hot guy with sexy big masculine feet gets me oh so horny. Seeing a guy in tennis shoes and ankle socks, seeing the articulation of his ankle leading down to his foot gets me horny. Sexy feet can make a so so guy look hot and ugly feet can me an attractive guy quite less so.
I just said this yesterday to my colleagues at work, and a few of my friends. Should I take the easy way out and just kill myself? But they all really did deserve it.
Growing up my mother's family was very close. And then suddenly they weren't. Horrible things were said, people did terrible things to each other and for the last 15 years or so my parents and I have had pretty much nothing to do with them. And while it hurt at first, I don't really think about them anymore. Now most of my parents generation has turned 70 and there's this sudden push to reconnect. A lot of discussions about how we all need to stop focusing on the past and the negative and all get along. There's emails, Facebook friend requests, all sorts of shit and I feel like an awful person, but I just have no interest in having anything to do with these people who acted so terribly to me and my parents. Am I a bad person?
Wes Anderson is the most overrated filmmaker currently working, so this takedown was a pleasure to read. Money Quote: There are hints that Fiennes has it in him to portray a worthwhile human being here—tender, smart, impulsive, humane, and witty—but this potential is smothered by Anderson’s chronic preference for guest stars and demented art direction. As a filmmaker, he has been tending that way for some time: in Moonrise Kingdom, the arty glee with which its island was depicted began to eclipse any response to it as a human or social gathering place. But in this film, the tendency is an avalanche of sickening sweetness. So the picture is a remorseless succession of pretty frames with frosted colors that might come from a Viennese patisserie. The vision is unique and inventive, but indigestible and likely to overwhelm some viewers. There is a production designer credited, Adam Stockhausen (he was on 12 Years a Slave, too, though you wouldn’t guess it). The esteemed Milena Canonero did the costumes. But I think Anderson is the visionary in charge. Still, to be a visionary does not eliminate the possibility of some attendant blindness.

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

Describe your degree of "outness". This is for primarily homosexually-inclined people. If you are not attracted to the same sex, click "show results" to see the poll. I want to explain the poll options before you vote: 1) "I don't hide it from anyone" means exactly that. You never edit pronouns, obscure facts, omit details or deflect questions that might reveal that you're gay. If you're ever mistaken for straight, you correct them. 2) "Everyone knows except acquaintances and strangers" means you're out to "everyone that matters": family, friends, co-workers, except you might just let strangers and acquaintances assume you're straight, just because it's less awkward and often unimportant. 3) "Out to everyone except one specific group": this means roughly the same as #1 and #2, except for personal reasons you exclude one group. Most often these are people who are not out at work (for fear of descrimination) or people who choose not to tell parents or siblings and limit or cut off contact instead. 4) "Out to friends, but no one else". This is vague, but a sort of catch-all for people who are closeted in more than one area of life. This would be people who are closeted at work and among at least some family, or people who are only out to their gay/gay-friendly friends. You must have gay friends or very gay-friendly friends for this category. 5) "I don't identify as gay, but I don't hide my same-sex attraction". This is tricky but I know some of you will demand this option. This could include g0ys, "post-gay" hipsters, genuine bisexuals and anyone who avoids the gay label but still is open about their same sex attraction. To answer this category, you must be open with at least the majority of your friends and family. 6) "I neither discuss it much nor hide it". In this category, some of the people that you're genuinely close to know that you're gay, but to the world at large, most people that you know and just whenever it's convenient, you're ambiguous or silent about your sexuality. You avoid pronouns and keep your "private life" private. Still, you have gay friends, but you're likely to introduce a love interest as just a "friend" in some situations. 7) "I've only told some/certain people". This would describe people who've come out to some people under very personal circumstances, but are still mostly closeted at large or ambiguous to most people. You may or may not have gay friends but you compartmentalize them and never mix them with your straight friends. 8) "I've told very few people". The difference between this and #7 is a matter of degrees. You've told one or two people, excluding sexual encounters. Maybe you've told one co-worker and swore them to secrecy, and one sibling but made them promise not to tell Mom and Dad. Maybe you let it slip out once while drunk with a friend. You have no platonic gay friends that you socialize with regularly. You pretend to be straight in mixed company but don't actively date or pursue the opposite sex. 9) "I lead a double life". You have a straight life and a gay life, and they never mix. You are meticulous about keeping it all "straight". You actively date or are in a LTR with a member of the opposite sex (who may or may not know the truth), but you also have gay friends on the side, sexual or platonic. You enjoy homosexual pleasure in secret and project a straight image at all other times. 10) "I tell no one". You believe that no one knows that you're gay, or you desperately wish it were so. You have secret sexual encounters but no connection to gay people or gay life. You never plan to come out.

Before you post, be sure you check out the statue at the link. It really IS creepy--there's no denying that. ******** A statue of a man in his underwear has created a scandal at an all-female college in Massachusetts. More than 300 students at Wellesley College have signed a petition to have the statue, appropriately titled "Sleepwalker," removed from the campus. "[T]his highly lifelike sculpture has, within just a few hours of its outdoor installation, become a source of apprehension, fear, and triggering thoughts regarding sexual assault for many members of our campus community," says the petition. "While it may appear humorous, or thought-provoking to some, it has already become a source of undue stress for many Wellesley College students, the majority of whom live, study, and work in this space." According to the Boston Globe, the statue was installed in a busy area of the campus on Monday as part of an exhibit by sculptor Tony Matelli at the college's Davis Museum. The museum's director, Lisa Fischman, defended the statue and its placement on the Wellesley College website. "We placed the Sleepwalker on the roadside just beyond the Davis to connect the exhibition — within the museum — to the campus world beyond," Fischman wrote. "I love the idea of art escaping the museum and muddling the line between what we expect to be inside (art) and what we expect to be outside (life)." Junior Zoe Magid, who started the petition, found Fischman's statement unsatisfactory. "We were really disappointed that she seemed to articulate that she was glad it was starting discussion, but didn't respond to the fact that it's making students on campus feel unsafe, which is not appropriate," Magid said. "We really feel that if a piece of art makes students feel unsafe, that steps over a line." Most students interviewed by the Globe found the statue troublesome, but at least one member of the Wellesley community appreciated it. "I find it disturbing, but in a good way," said Sarah Wall-Randell, an English professor at Wellesley. "I think it's meant to be off-putting – it's a schlumpy guy in underpants in an all-women environment."

Michigan’s gay marriage trial ended on an explosive note today, with the state’s final witness saying he believes unrepentant homosexuals are going to hell. His views emerged following a question from plaintiffs attorney Ken Mogill, who is fighting to overturn Michigan’s ban on gay marriage. “Is it accurate that you believe the consequence of engaging in homosexual acts is a separation from God and eternal damnation?” Mogill asked the state’s expert, then added, “in other words, they’re going to hell.” “Without repentance, yes,” answered the expert, Canadian economist Douglas Allen, the last witness to testify on behalf of the state in a trial that could make Michigan the 18th state to legalize gay marriage. Allen, an economist who has researched 60 same-sex parenting studies during a 15-year period, testified today that he believes Michigan should uphold its ban on gay marriage. He argued that science is a long way from determining whether this family structure is good or bad for kids and that messing with public policy would be premature. “The state should be very cautious in making such a fundamental change to such a fundamental issue where there’s no evidence on the child outcome issue,” Allen said in court today. “We’re a long way from understanding what the child outcome results are in a conclusive way.” A spokeswoman for Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, who is opposed to gay marriage and is defending the voters’ decision in 2004 to define marriage as being between one man and one woman, said Allen’s religious beliefs do not taint his testimony. “The trial ended on Dr. Allen’s comment that the science on this remains unsettled,” said Joy Yearout, spokeswoman for Schuette. “He was very clear that his personal beliefs have no impact on his research or the data it produces.” Allen, who has testified in three other same-sex marriage trials, is the last witness to testify in the nine-day-long trial in which two lesbian nurses are seeking to overturn the state’s ban on gay marriage. The state is fighting to uphold the ban on gay marriage, arguing voters have already spoken on this issue — banning same-sex marriage in 2004 — and that their decision should stand. But the plaintiffs argue the ban is unconstitutional and are fighting to reverse it so that they can marry and adopt each other’s children. The trial has focused largely on the outcomes of children raised in same-sex families. The state has argued that children thrive best when raised by married moms and dads. The plaintiffs have countered that there is no evidence to show that children raised in same-sex households fare better or worse than those raised by heterosexuals. Allen, the last academic expert to testify on the child outcome debate, disagrees. He has analyzed 60 same-sex parenting studies from 1995 to 2013 and says his research shows there are differences in outcomes of children raised in same-sex households versus those in traditional family settings. Allen testified that his data, a 2013 report based on Canadian Census data of 8,632 people, show that children raised by same-sex parents do not perform as well in school as those raised by married moms and dads. Among his findings: • Girls in a gay households (2 dads) are only 15% as likely to graduate from high school compared to girls raised by moms and dads. • Girls raised in a lesbian household are about 45% as likely to graduate from high school compared to those raised by married moms and dads. • Boys in lesbian homes are 76% as likely to graduate high school compared to boys raised by married heterosexuals. • Boys raised in gay households (2 dads) are 60% as likely to graduate compared to boys raised by married heterosexuals.

Hi guys, I'm 23, HIV negative, get tested regularly, and choose to hook up with HIV negative partners only. I understand that some guys lie about their status and you should treat everyone like they're HIV positive - this is why I only do oral sex for hookups. I was wondering what is the best way to turn down a guy who reveals his HIV positive status to you, either online or in person. I don't want to be rude or sound harsh - I just want to tell them that this is the way I practice safer sex in my life. But I find it hard to come up with a good way to say it without going into deep details or some debate. "Sorry, I only hook up with HIV negative guys" - is that ok? I've tried this before, and some guys respond with "oral is such low risk, why not?" or "you're being paranoid, undetectable is extremely low risk" etc. I know that being undetectable is very low risk, but I also know that I just wouldn't be comfortable and wouldn't be able to get into it with this cloud of worry. Maybe I'll get over it when I'm older, but that's just not the case right now. For the HIV neg guys, how do you turn down HIV positive guys? And HIV positive guys - do you get offended when guys refuse to play with you because of your status? What's a good way to convey the message without sounding like an asshole? Thanks in advance.

So the small clinical trial did well...will be interesting to see where this goes in the long run.
The subject of the latest debunked Obamacare horror story is finally talking, and of course it's to Fox News. Julie Boonstra is a Michigan resident with leukemia, and she appeared in an Americans For Prosperity ad against Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Gary Peters, saying that Obamacare made her cancer treatment unaffordable because of out of pocket spending. Subsequent fact checking, though, found that her monthly premium payments were essentially cut in half, and the limits the law imposes on out of pocket expenses means that at worse, she'd break even between those costs and her premium saving. The ad also implied she lost access to her doctor, though fact checking determined that her doctor is included in the plan she picked on the exchange. So with no real basis to the story she presented in the ad, how does Boonstra respond? The only way she can, the way Republicans always go, playing the victim. "They're not scaring me. Cancer scares me," she said. "I battle cancer every day. They're not going to intimidate me." [...] "Under my old policy, I knew what I could afford every single month because I wasn't hit with extra charges. Now I don't know what I have to pay month to month," she said. "Leukemia tests are extremely expensive." Just to set the record straight, pointing out factual inconsistencies is not intimidation. No one is saying that Boonstra isn't experiencing real angst over having to change health insurance in the middle of her fight with cancer. No one is diminishing her fight with cancer, they're just pointing out some basic truths which show that her story just doesn't add up. And as Brian Beutler points out, if the Koch brothers achieved what they're trying to with this and other ads—repeal—then she would really become a victim. The protections she now has under this law—to never be kicked off her health insurance plan, to never have to worry about having health coverage because of her leukemia, having her annual out of pocket expenses limited, and never having to worry about reaching an annual or lifetime cap where her coverage is just cut off—would be gone if the campaign she's participating in succeeds. Which is, yes, insane. If Boonstra is a victim, she's the willing victim of the Koch brothers and AFP who would ultimately throw her to the wolves. But if she hates the law that much, fine, whatever. What she's doing, though, jeopardizes every other cancer patient in the nation.

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

CHICAGO — Attorney General Lisa Madigan on Tuesday told an Illinois county clerk that he and others around the state have the right to immediately issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Madigan issued the guidance in response to a question from Macon County Clerk Stephen Bean, who questioned the legal effect of the ruling in Lee v. Orr on Feb. 21 by a federal judge in Chicago. Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman determined Illinois’ original ban was unconstitutional. A state law legalizing same-sex marriage takes effect June 1, but the ruling by the federal court means there’s nothing to stop couples from marrying now. Coleman said the ruling only applied to Cook County because it challenged the practices of that county’s clerk, David Orr. However, in a letter to Bean, Madigan said because current restrictions on gay marriage are unconstitutional, same-sex couples asking for a marriage license in any county can be given one. Madigan noted there have been a stream of federal court rulings saying bans on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. “Even though the ruling in Lee is not binding on you, the protections guaranteed by the Constitution must exist without regard to county lines, and the Lee decision along with the federal court decisions noted above, should be persuasive as you evaluate whether to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples,” Madigan wrote to Bean. Cook and Champaign counties have started issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. However, county clerks in central and western Illinois have said they’ll wait until June 1 to start issuing same-sex marriage licenses. Adams County Clerk Georgia Volm has said she would wait in order to ensure that the licenses, once issued, are valid. Madigan said county clerks should consult with their state’s attorneys, consider federal rulings on the issue and the cost and potential litigation in the event of a lawsuit challenging any denial. She said if requests for licenses are denied, “couples may opt to obtain their marriage licenses in Cook County to be married there, or they may file a lawsuit.” Gov. Pat Quinn, in a statement, said every county clerk in Illinois should quickly follow Madigan’s guidance. “Following this guidance, the Illinois Department of Public Health will now accept all marriage licenses issued by any county clerk in Illinois,” Quinn said. Under current law, the public health department helps ensure that new marriages comply with state laws.

"This elderly singer who was a sex symbol in the '60s and early '70s used to pay for sex acts with men so he could be discreet about his sexuality. As he is getting older and dealing with health issues, he finally came out to his wife a few months ago. The wife claimed she has known their entire marriage and agreed to stay because she claimed that she still loves him and always has, and claims she'll be his best friend for as long as they live." My first thought was Sedaka, but was he ever considered a "sex symbol"?

I bought one so I would not have to use dryer sheets anymore. It seemed like it was working fine, but tonight I decided to take it out just because I liked the smell of the Downy dryer sheets I used to use better. Well, the Bounce dryer bar cannot be removed from the inside of your dryer without leaving a sticky residue behind. I am going to have to spend a lot of time cleaning that stuff now so it doesn''t mess with my clothes. I did a search on the Bounce dryer bar on Google, and you would not believe how many websites with complaints pop up! You have been warned!

Recent media reports have speculated that Grammy winner Janet Jackson is separating from her husband Wissam Al Mana, but a source close to the couple sets the record straight. The source tells Entertainment Tonight of Jackson and Mana's relationship, "The rumors about their marriage are a lie. They are very happy and very much together. In fact, the couple has recently purchased an even larger home in New York." The couple confirmed their marriage to ET back in February 2013, adding that they wed in a "quiet, private and beautiful ceremony" that was held in 2012. "Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favorite children's charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy," Jackson and Mana said in their wedding announcement. This coming April, Jackson, 47, will be traveling to Brazil to continue her work for amfAR (American Foundation for AIDS Research).
This guy next to us at Mohawk Bend (Bahn Mi pizza!) was talking about Washington being "Rome" and how there's an empire (there IS, as in now), and he was saying like how he was in college and he learned that from a visiting professor from Yale. He was then saying something about the European Union (which isn't a country, BTW) being a pretty good "idea". Just curious but am I missing something here? Is he talking about Hollywood and like how everyone watches its movies and TV? Rome is Italy's capital, and Washington is America's capital. I know they have buildings in Washington that look like they're from Rome or something (old-fashioned looking, like the opposite of Santa Monica buildings). Is Rome significant in the European Union? Is it like Washington in that way? Like politics and the military being there? I haven't taken courses in politics or geography yet. Maybe next fall.

He comes across remarkably self-assured for his age (if also slightly douchey). He has this handsome gymnast buddy from whom he seems inseparable. I wonder if the two of them have tasted each other's dicks. (It would be interesting and kind of fitting if he turned out to be gay, what with his mom's gay icon status.)
I seriously hate everything about the god-forsaken place. Its crappy American-wannabe stores, its garage sale-like "businesses". Do you ever wish you were not here.

I get why trust in the government is declining in America, but I don't get why trust between people is declining still? We are safer from violent crime than anytime since the early 70's and late 60's, so why is it that we are not trusting more? The good news is that we are still more trusting than other countries, including many western european ones. Why do you think trust is declining?

With all the informaton about the severe effects of obesity, I have a hard time understanding why anyone woulf let themselves get fat. Why would someone want to put poison in there mouth? It makes no sense. Put down the fork and go out and exercize. Sorry but it has to be said. Listen to Michelle Obama. She's got her head on straight when it comes to this issue. For that I'm thankful. Fatties are FINALLY getting called out. Didn't use to be that way and look what happend.

In her new tell-all, the Partridge Family matriarch says she was very in tune with the sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll lifestyle of her day. Sometimes she’d even flee the show’s set for a quickie with playboy hubby Jack Cassidy. “At the height of ‘The Partridge Family,’ now and again Jack would pick me up from the studio in the car, then drive us into the garage adjacent to our house, where he would have intercourse with me in the backseat,” she says. Jones also says her stepson David Cassidy was definitely his father’s son. According to the tell-all, both Cassidy men were very well endowed. “David’s brothers called him Donk, for Donkey,” she writes. She also reminisces about exotic escapades they enjoyed “wherever and whenever we wanted,” including one go-round on the floor of a sailboat, dalliances in bathtubs and in backstage dressing rooms. The actress and author claims her sex encounters often involved other stars, and reflects back on one crazy night in the late ’60s, after she and Jack had dinner with Anthony Newley and Joan Collins at their home. According to Jones, Newley bragged to her and her hubby that he was in possession of a few porn flicks and suggested the four of them get naked and have a kinky movie night. Jones says she declined the invite. The book also has a chapter about the night Jones and Jack Cassidy swung by Sammy Davis Jr.’s Beverly Hills home, where lines of cocaine were waiting on every tabletop and porn played on TV screens throughout the house. While the ’60s may be over, the 79-year-old Jones says she isn’t done yet. “I still want to make it clear that I believe that a woman can remain sexual right through her 70s and 80s and beyond. I am living proof of that.” Jones writes. “Despite my advanced years, that hasn’t changed a bit, although it can take longer than before for me to achieve sexual fulfillment these days.” Well, “Come on, Get Happy,” Mrs. Partridge!
Well, fuck them! Fuck them right up the ass!

The New Yorker: [quote]The biggest loser, in terms of goodwill, was Matthew McConaughey, whose weirdly confessional speech started with a taste of old-time religion that had me hoping he’d play a Pentecostal preacher in a movie (a fictionalized version of Marjoe Gortner, from the great documentary “Marjoe,” came to mind); it followed with an evocation of his late father that was a little crude but sincerely loving; but it ended with a tribute to himself, as his own ever-deferred future hero, that had the unintended effect of making him seem trapped in his own superseded adolescent wisdom. In an industry of mentors and master-artists, benevolent influence and tough love, he came off as a vain and boastful self-made man.

This will be her FIFTH time losing the Academy Award this year. Some salt? Every other nominee already has an Oscar. Even more brutal: She JUST lost last year. A consecutive loss. Maybe she can take comfort in the fact that most experts have her as (a distant) runner-up. Hey, momentum has been swinging her way lately, maybe if voters had another month. But no. Perhaps the 6th time will be the charm. (She should've won for Junebug, but damn that was a competitive year, and Weisz or Williams were as deserving) And, being sincere here, I know Phillip Seymour Hoffman was a dear friend, and they worked on many projects together, and received multiple Oscar nominations for the same movies, so my deepest sympathies. I guess that means she's out of a job, though. She was the lead in PSH's next directorial gig. Ouch. It's only February and she's already lost an Oscar, a friend, and a job. Let us take a moment for Amy Adams on having a shitty 2014. Perhaps it can give us some perspective on our own lives.

Quote of the Day "I am pro-life. I care about the life of every child: every child that goes to bed hungry, every child that goes to bed without a proper education, every child that goes to bed without being able to be a part of the Texas dream, every woman and man who worry about their children's future and their ability to provide for that future. I care about life and I have a record of fighting for people above all else." -- Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis (D), quoted by the Dallas Morning News, borrowing a phrase from anti-abortion activists.

This would typically illicit waterlogged memories from childhood of watching the elevators open and the blood rushing out in "The Shining". My parents were very lax with rules when I was growing up and I was somehow able to watch the following film on TV at a very young age by myself (bad idea!). %0D %0D I have to say the scenes from a film that have potentially scarred me the most are from the 1982 Jill Clayburgh film "I'm Dancing As Fast as I Can". I think I might've been about seven or eight years old. In the film, Clayburgh plays real-life Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Barbara Gordon. Against her doctor's orders she tries to detox in her apartment from a severe addiction to Valium, cold turkey. Her live-in boyfriend (who is, himself, an alcoholic and played by the extremely creepy Nicol Williamson) is helping her by, essentially, not letting her leave the house. There's a scene where he is passed out drunk and she is trying to creep out of her apartment. He catches her, beats the ever-living shit out of her and then when she comes to, she's tied to a chair in their bedroom, bruised and bloodied. It might be the domestic abuse that arises out of what was a simple addiction plotline, but it is so horrifying as to almost eclipse the dark hell of withdrawal Clayburgh portrays. I think a man punching a woman is extremely difficult to watch for some reason.%0D %0D She eventually gets out of the situation by pretending that they have a dinner engagement with another couple. She convinces her boyfriend that she'd better call them and make up some excuse so they don't come looking for her. When he agrees and gets the couple on the telephone, she starts screaming for help. They eventually come over and save her. %0D

The Arizona Senate has passed a Republican-backed bill that expands the rights of people to assert their religious beliefs in refusing service to gays and others. Democrats and civil rights groups opposed the bill being pushed by social conservatives, saying it would allow discriminatory actions by businesses. But GOP Sen. Steve Yarbrough of Chandler says his push was prompted by a New Mexico case where the state Supreme Court allowed a gay couple to sue a photographer who refused to take pictures of their wedding. He says he's protecting religious rights. Democrats sponsored eight hostile amendments during Wednesday's debate that were rejected by Republicans who control the Senate. A similar bill is making its way through the House.

I know we joke about her alot here, but how do we really feel about her as an actress?\ \ She''s been great in so many movies from the early 80s-90''s, but I''ve never gotten her acclaim for "Sunset Boulevard." It was surprisingly competent, but not the revelation so many made it out to be. And her voice was good, but far from stellar. Then she did that Julie Andrews impression in "South Pacific", which the less said about the better. \ \ I do wish she would get another showy movie role or two. She hasn''t had a real meaty part in a long time.

Any fans of this 2011 indie film, about the 2 old lesbians who go on the run to the Canadian border, when the grand-daughter of the blind one wants to put her in a home, and take her house, where she has lived with her partner of 31 years? Its funny and sad and the 2 gals are fabulous - Olympia Dukakis as the foul-mouthed Stella, and Brenda Fricker as the simpler, almost blind Dotty. On the way they pick up hitchhiker Ryan Doucette, who is marvellous too as the dancer/hustler, and that scene at the Candian border customs in a riot as he is body-searched. He is presented in a sexual way too, which is rather interesting. Spoiler ahead .. Of coure one of them has to die, but they they are over 80 - its one movie where we are left wondering what the characters do after the movie is over. It also reminded me of Brokeback Mountain quite a bit, not only in its sadness, but the pickup trucks, great locations (Nova Scotia looks terrific) and performances. I liked it a lot.
