Dear god, she was bigger than ever. That poor thing is going to die young.
Warning: It's somewhat long, but there is a LOT of detail and it's quite well-written. Hope someone can figure it out. One of the commenters claims to know who it is, but doesn't reveal the name.
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.
My friend is a minor character actor on TV and commercials, and before every major awards show (Golden Globes, Grammys, etc), he gets invited to these "gifting suites," where vendors pay some company to set up a table in a hotel ballroom, give away their wares to celebrity types in exchange for a photograph of that celebrity holding the product or promoting it on camera. Talk about a freak show, folks!! We both knew what we were getting into, so we went for the fun of it with the understanding that afterwards, we would split the swag and have a laugh over a couple of cocktails. He brought me as his guest. We were assigned a pretty young girl holding a bag, whose sole job was to lug all the swag as we got it. She also held a piece of paper with his name and his credits listed on it. As we walked into the ballroom, a woman breathlessly announced each "celebrity" - "Ladies and Gentlemen! Please welcome the star of "Clarissa Explains it All to you! WHO DOESN'T LOVE THAT SHOW? OH MY GOD!!!" and on and on. The room was packed. We went to each table. I lingered in the background because it's all about the celebrity and not the guest. Which was fine with me because these "gifts" were tragic! Stuff like awful jewelry, Japanese chocolate-covered dried fruit, gourmet popcorn, and literally eight different e-cigarette companies. He did get a nice travel bag and some skin care products, but otherwise…ugh. As for celebrities: Chaka Khan was kind of ahead of us the whole time (she looked great, by the way). The "other" Vanessa Williams, lots of ex-child stars (Adam Wylie? and his boyfriend), the little long-haired girl currently on "The Walking Dead." AND…Sam Page (who is as dreamy in person as in real life). We got to the end of the tables, back at the entrance, and who should be wheeled in at that very moment? MICKEY ROONEY. He looked amazing! So spry and with it! 93 years old. For once, the woman's enthusiasm in announcing him matched the calibre of celebrity. And who should walk in right behind him? GG from "Shahs of Sunset" which brought the whole affair back to the level it belonged. We walked out past the boxes of pizza from the joint across the street, went and had a great lunch and cocktails, split up the stuff (anybody need an e-cig?), and had a few good laughs. And that was my trip to the pre-Oscar "Gifting Suite!"
Will he work again?

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 want to love it here. But somehow...it depresses me. The neighborhoods are huge and meandering...nothing is close by. It's foggy all the time. I feel like a woman in menopause -- it's hot one moment, freezing the next. Crazy people are everywhere. Downtown is barren and depressing. The outlying areas are brown, barren, and lonesome, sort of like the Wild West. I miss the East Coast. :(

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.

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.
So butch. No. 14 in a saga.

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.

Does anyone remember this? They were very handsomely mounted (for the time) productions of fairy tales done for Showtime in the style of classic illustrators with all-star casts: The Frog Prince with Teri Garr and Robin Williams, done in the style of Maxfield Parrish; The Princess and the Pea, with Liza Minnelli and Tom Conti, done in the style of Aubrey Beardsley; etc. They were often very funny and beautifully done. They're usually narrated by Shelley Duvall, the creative spark behind the whole thing, which is too bad because you can already tell her hold on reality is slightly tenuous (and she doesn't have a good voice).
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. He was just rapid firing jokes right after another with a complete flat intonation. It was not conversational at all. Maybe he can do it this way when reading the news but not with a monolog. Hopefully he can get better. His vin diagrams were funny though.

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.

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.”

I came upon the terminology in another thread. I recall hearing that "Fifty Shades of Grey" began that way but I've not read it. My tastes run towards biography and autobiography. I know there are people in publishing who post on DL. Just how bad is "Fan Fiction" and how many people are sending in manuscripts since that book became a best seller? Any idea as to the demographics of the writer/readers? Does this stuff actually sell? Thanks.

HOLY SHIT!!!
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."
Not sure there is much in the way of eye candy this season. But I do appreciate an entirely new cast.

In his blockbuster biography, “Joan Crawford, Hollywood Martyr”, author David Bret reveals that the gritty but glamorous actress grew up with a sadistic brother and an abusive stepdad, bedded a slew of matinee idols during her five marriages, once tried to seduce gay heartthrob Rock Hudson by asking him to pretend she was Clark Gable, and forced FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to erase her sex arrest record by threatening to expose him as a drag queen! Born Lucille Fay LeSueur in San Antonio, Texas, the future star was terrorized by her older brother Hal, who enjoyed locking her up in dark closets. Her single mom Anna was the local tramp until she married a deliveryman named Harry Hough. Bret says Hough had a lust for very young girls and attempted to rape his stepdaughter. By the time Crawford was 14, she was already following in her mom’s sleazy footsteps, entertaining boys from the local high school football team – and demanding money for her services. A few years later, she launched her film career via the “casting couch” at MGM studios, infamously quipping, “It sure beat the cold, hard floor.” Crawford’s career spanned 50 years and 80 movies – and her sex life was equally prolific. Bret says she slept with a veritable Who’s Who of Hollywood hunks, including Glenn Ford, John Wayne, Yul Brenner, Jeff Chandler, Dana Andrews, Kirk Douglas and even 17-year-old Our Gang alum Jackie Cooper. But she had a special fondness for bisexual men, accounting for three of her five husbands. She even tried to seduce notoriously gay Rock Hudson, creeping naked into a shower with him and purring in his ear, “Close your eyes and pretend I’m Clark Gable.” Gable was the closest Crawford would get to true love. Bret says he fit her mold – a strappingly handsome actor, who before hitting it big was known to flirt with men at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, prepared to “do anything” for money. “She fell on him like a sex-starved bird of prey,” Bret writes, noting that their passionate off-and-on affair lasted 28 years despite the fact that Gable was “a closet bisexual with halitosis.” Crawford had a closet stuffed with skeletons too – including some pornographic “stag” films and an arrest for prostitution when she was trying to break into showbiz. Bret writes that she and the bigwigs at MGM had to pay off blackmailers from time to time, including her own brother Hal, but Crawford took care of one threat herself. Bret recalls how she once met with FBI chief Hoover and struck a deal – she wouldn’t reveal he was a cross-dresser if he’d destroy all the records proving she’d once been a hooker. She was tough as a wife as well, emasculating her husbands by making them kneel and beg for sex. “Joan Crawford wasn’t the first Hollywood actress to trade sex for stardom,” says Bret. “But few have matched her ruthlessness.”
Weren''t they just what we would today call ''independent films''?
Celebrity Caterer posted this blind item in his Oscars 2014 thread: [thread]This actor is rumored to be dipping his toes in the coming out pot. Before this I had never heard he might be gay. Yet jokes on the set are being made by him. Plays a womanizer (don't they all?) and crazy gay buzz suddenly abounds. The answer was superhot James Wolk, star of The Crazy Ones, Mad Men and Happy Endings. This thread is for gossip, sightings and photo appreciation of one of the hottest potentially gay men alive.
That's my biggest fear. That those missing passengers are right now being subjected to Bronson Pinchot's horrible dramatic overacting.
1. The Academy is a country of old men. Possible upset in a major category. In private many are confessing to having voted for ______________. 2. TV, not films alas. This actor is rumored to be dipping his toes in the coming out pot. Before this I had never heard he might be gay. Yet jokes on the set are being made by him. Plays a womanizer (don't they all?) and crazy gay buzz suddenly abounds. 3. This monster star likes to travel with a chef to whip her up macrobiotic, juice, or serious pasta depending on what craze she is embracing that day. Constant ads run for a chef to travel with her as her assistant likes to have replacements waiting in the wings. She tends to fire them after 3 to 6 weeks because nothing tastes good to her save the fatty carby meals she really loves. 4. This child of one of the most vile and hated entertainers in the world was raise on a vegetarian, macrobiotic, and organic diet. Recently he was sobbing because he is afraid to tell his mother that he has begun eating meat and LOVES it. Who is mommy dearest? 5. This star has been rehearsing his speech for days to make it look impromptu and humble. Neither are true. He believes he will win and KNOWS he should. If for any reason there is an upset in this category expect some bad behavior. He is hungry for this win. 6. This Character is a rediscovered delight. When you get this actor drunk he sometimes goes into character and reveals Actor dish all in the guise of 'comedy'. It's funny cause it's true. Name the character, or the actor and I will tell you the name of one of the men he has outed. Of course it won't be news to many of you. 7. Why the outbursts? This actor had damaged testicles as a child and has been on therapeutic Testosterone his entire life. He periodically switches between the low dose gel and the high dose shots. Could his crazy behavior be roid rage? 8. Never won, much beloved. This actress does not go out a lot. Recently she has told a friend that she would travel and accept a lifetime achievement award from the Academy but ONLY if it were on live TV. She will not be shunted to the off broadcast ceremony if she does this. She is constantly touched by her fans who send fan mail. She is shocked that she is still so beloved and remembered. Whatever. 9. She wants one more amazing film before she fades into a formaldehyde haze. This aging actress has finally told a film maker she would go off the botox and even without make up if he could create the kind of role that would give her another win. 10. Not enough time for Emergency plastic surgery this older one has been in body rehab prior to tonight's appearance. Fat farm, facials, botox, even a vintage girdle. She may not be able to breathe but fuck it, she looks good.

Hollywood Reporter: [quote]It's breeders against bros in Neighbors, Nicholas Stoller's tale of two young parents who buy their first home only to watch the house next door be invaded by a fraternity bent on one-upping their debauchery-pioneering forebears. Very funny at the outset and escalating steadily for most of its brisk running time, the film represents a big win for neophyte screenwriters Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien, and should return Stoller to the commercial peak of his debut Forgetting Sarah Marshall. [quote]Efron is credibly hateful here, his vacant eyes radiating dumb defiance as the frat taunts and abuses the Radners. By contrast, Rogen and Byrne work each other into a frenzy, first trying to stop the pranks, then to avenge them. As the couple's plots grow increasingly aggressive, Byrne gets more freedom than she often does, stealing scenes with last-ditch deviousness. The Playlist gives it an A- [quote]The last time Universal screened one of their big summer comedies at South by Southwest, it turned out to be "Bridesmaids" – a movie that not only proved to be a massive financial success (and a breakthrough for its co-writer/star Kristin Wiig) but a critical one as well, even earning an Academy Award nomination for its screenplay. So a fair amount of anticipation greeted tonight's "work-in-progress" (although look, it seems totally finished) screening of the new Seth Rogen/Zac Efron comedy "Neighbors." And while "Neighbors" doesn't come close to capturing "Bridesmaids'" emotional honesty, it could have a chance of one-upping that film in the box office. Simply put, "Neighbors" is one of the funniest, most visually inventive studio comedies in recent memory. HitFix gives it an A: [quote]Many of the modern comedies that are considered classics become part of the pop culture lexicon, endlessly quoted by fans in all sorts of different contexts. I have a strong suspicion that "Neighbors" is going to be one of those films that is simply absorbed whole by audiences. Not only is it uproariously funny and almost breathtakingly dirty, it is better written than it needs to be on a character level, delivering completely on its premise. Variety: [quote]Relegated to middling girlfriend roles for far too long, Byrne is here cast as the most foul-mouthed matriarch this side of “August: Osage County,” and she attacks the role with almost maniacal enthusiasm. But it’s the eternally shirtless ex-teen idol Efron, surprisingly, who delivers the film’s most intriguing performance, crafting a dime-turning combination of brotherly earnestness and Mephistophelean sadism that will ring true to anyone who ever found themselves on the losing end of a wooden paddle.

Started on request at end of Season Two thread. Enjoyed the first episode. Back to Season 1 style drama. But what the hell happened to Madeleine Stowe? I guess she's aging naturally. But boy is she aging.
I haven't watched it since I was 10. It is playing On Demand (Encore) so I just started rewatching it. I was in love with Rudy, but now that I am an adult I probably will relate more to Tom. Funny how the middle aged actors are playing teenagers, Peter Strauss is speaking in a high voice to appear younger.

Have you all seen it? It''s surprisingly good. Robert Irvine is a boot camp-like chef who gives failing restaurants a complete overhaul. One couple in Chapin, SC (near me) operate the Sweet Tea restaurant which is supposed to serve Southern home-cooked food. But everything is from a can or a mix! 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.

The Rancid Honeytrap is taking Glenn on with a vengeance and Glenn is having any of it. I love this blogger, who is as he says: "Bilious, herbivorous, queer small a anarchist." [quote]Note how childish, dumb and technically inept it is. Also how homophobic. Then wonder what kind of person attracts fans such as these and even, on occasion, incites them. This incident is no anomaly. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and this nicely encapsulates what The Friends of Glenn Greenwald have been saying to me for six months now. It rarely gets better. [quote]As anyone who has ever been insufficiently deferential to Glenn Greenwald in public knows, the alleged civil libertarian/savior of journalism cultivates and periodically incites a pack of internet brownshirts who enforce discipline on his behalf. Most of the commentary on this has come from Greenwald’s right, because until recently that’s where most of his acrimony was directed. But as his status increases and his affiliations change, the rare lefties calling him to account are getting a taste of this as well. Recently British independent journalist Jonathan Cook capitulated completely on some very tepid criticism he had offered only days before, after a swarming by Glenn’s fans and a self-serving lecture by Greenwald himself. [quote]I have become something of an expert on Greenwald’s frothy minions since he first sicced them on me six months ago via this fallacious rant on my blog, in which he deliberately mischaracterized practically every point I had made and obliquely suggested that I kill myself. Since writing the post that sent Greenwald into a tizzy, I have been the target of routine trolling on Twitter, usually in the form of extremely childish verbal abuse, but also in the form of lengthy, angry interrogations, akin to visits from Jehovah’s Witnesses vexed by my stubborn unwillingness to see the light. The research wing trawls through old tweets and blog posts looking for things that can be damningly quoted out of context. I am the subject of six Twitter ‘parody’ accounts, at least one of which simply mixes real tweets with fake for the sole purpose of mischaracterizing me. Glenn himself even cracks wise with this Tarzie parody — which of course endorses its smeary intent — though since vomiting on my blog six months ago, he never replies to me directly.
Are Friends of Glenn [greenwald] making homophobic attacks on his rivals?
Rolling Stone gave it 4 stars. Michael Musto called it "Spellbinding!" TimeOut NY said it's "A Queer Cinema Landmark!"

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?

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.
"People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil.

New poll numbers show big differences in the oft-maligned millennial generation. The wide-ranging study conducted by Pew shows millenials, or those falling into the 18 to 33 age group, differ from previous generations — like Generation X and the baby boomers — in everything from politics to views on marriage. In a write-up accompanying the study, Pew notes, "They are relatively unattached to organized politics and religion, linked by social media, burdened by debt, distrustful of people, in no rush to marry— and optimistic about the future." Specifically, the research found as many as 50 percent of millennials describe themselves as political independents. Though they also tended to lean left, supporting President Barack Obama and embracing liberal policies more than older generations. (Via KTTV, KARE) According to a writer for The Wire, that could mean bad news for Republicans. "For the Republican Party, it's hard to see Pew's new survey of American millennials as very good news. … Pew walks through a number of social issues, finding younger people more likely to support same-sex marriage, legal marijuana and immigration reform." The study also found millennials tend to differ from previous generations on traditional American institutions like religion and marriage as well.

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.

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)

Why he could be gay/bi: 1. He hangs with the "gay posse" Colton Haynes, Matthew Morrison, JC Chasez, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgely, etc. 2. He LOVES Les Mis 3. There've been rumors about him and Penn Badgely, him and Colton Haynes, etc. 4. Not linked with any girls recently. Why he could be straight: 1. He might hang with the "gay posse" simply because they all have the same manager? 2. There's just not much evidence on his Twitter that he's into guys or into gay interested, as opposed to Jonathan Bennett, who follows EVERY hot guy on Twitter. 3. He had a fucking BEARD recently (the hairy kind, not the female kind). I don't know any gay guys that grow facial hair! How come Shawn Pyfrom hasn't been acting lately? What has he been up to?
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.

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.

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?

TACOMA — Immigrant-rights activists rallied outside the Northwest Detention Center on Saturday, while at least 750 detainees protested their treatment and called for an end to deportations with a hunger strike. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department said Saturday morning that 750 detainees had refused to eat and said they were on a hunger strike. The center currently houses nearly 1,300 people being investigated for possible deportation. Activist Maru Mora Villalpando said the hunger strike started Friday as a protest of deportations and center conditions. She said the hunger strikers, which she thinks number more than 1,000, are seeking better food and treatment as well as better pay for center jobs. “We are concerned for their welfare, and we support their brave stand against inhumane treatment. We are gravely concerned about retaliation, particularly against the hunger-strike leaders,” Villalpando said. ICE spokesman Andrew Munoz said the agency respects the right of detainees. “ICE fully respects the rights of all people to express their opinion without interference,” Munoz said. “While we continue to work with Congress to enact common-sense immigration reform, ICE remains committed to sensible, effective immigration enforcement.” The detainees are under continuous observation by center staff and medical personnel. ICE detention standards state that a detainee who has not eaten for 72 hours is considered to be on a hunger strike.
He works at his image of a straight man deeply involved with his model girlfriend. However, there is something about him that says he has experience with having gay sex. Whatever persuasion, he is a sexy, handsome man whose humor on the Voice makes the show for me. I bet he can be wild in bed.
First off he looks so uncomfortable. This girl is the fan base he is singing to and he looks like he is uncomfortable. He is such a bad actor. That poor girl. That hug alone made me cringe. He isn't a real person. Why are you so afraid of yourself? That a natural movement in him. Disney and Pearlman ruined him.

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.
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.

It's disgusting. I was over at his apartment today, and I was going to make me a bologna and mayonnaise sandwich for lunch, and I was looking all through his pantry for the mayonnaise and finally discovered it in the refrigerator! Who wants something wet and cold on their sandwich? Gross. I actually asked him about it and he was indifferent. 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?
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.

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"?

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."

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 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.

This great comedic and dramatic actress died along with her Mother and others in a plane crash 72 years ago yesterday 1/16/42. She was only 33. One of Clark's male friends said that he had never heard a woman curse like her. She had the foulest mouth in their crowd and the fact that Clark got a kick out of it just made her get worse.

"Of All The Gin Joints in All The World..." At the height of World War II, Norwegian film star/Resistance fighter Ilsa Lund (Jennifer Aniston) finds herself stranded in Vichy-controlled Morocco, where the only path to freedom are papers of transit held by none other than her ex-boyfriend, alcoholic bar-owner Rick (Gerard Butler). With the help of her Czech makeup artist Viktor (Zachary Quinto), Ilsa concocts a plan to seduce Rick and steal the letters of transit - but her plans are turned upside down when she realizes she still loves him! To make matters worse, rival German film star and Nazi sympathizer Margarethe Strassler (Courtney Cox) is also in Casablanca on a mission to stop Ilsa and maybe steal Rick for herself! Can Ilsa successfully elude the Gestapo, make the world safe for democracy and fly into the sunset with Rick, all while rocking the shit out of khaki blazer? Directed by Penny Marshall.

This Golden-era French actor hasn't been discussed much here on DL. He's one of the last surviving big stars of the 1940's and in his heyday he was one sexy motherfucker. I think he was a pretty good and very charismatic actor but unfortunately he got typecast as a boring romantic lead and as a villain as he got older. The best movie he made was probably Letter From An Unknown Woman with Joan Fontaine, but he also starred in some entertaining campy flicks like Julie with Doris Day (this one's a hoot) and The Best of Everything with Joan Crawford.

I personally think so. It's a shame that Bundy was straight. I think their personalities are well-suited to each other. In an alternate universe, Bundy would have been gay and not psychopathic, he would have been a successful lawyer and he would have fallen madly in love with Dahmer. Dahmer would have reciprocated his feelings and would not have killed him and ate him. And they would have been a cute couple, always together until death did them apart. Ya, I know. Cute fanatasy.
I heard they dated, and that he was devastated when she married Allen Ludden, and that was the reason he remained a bachelor.

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.
Lange gives a surprised laugh to hear that show runner Ryan Murphy has spilled that she'll be back for a fourth season, sporting a German accent. "All I know ... it's again a completely different time and place, it's something that is really fascinating to me if we go down this road and really investigate it the way I think it can be done. And this is really in theory; I don't think there's been one word written yet. But yes, of German descent ... a chanteuse, so I get to sing, which will be a lot of fun," she says, laughing at the notion of channeling her inner Marlene Dietrich.
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 was this photo already posted? I saw it and cracked up.

Puerto Rican GOP territorial Sen. Roberto Arango has resigned after he was discovered showing his anus on the gay hook-up site, Grindr. Arango initially dismissed the revelation, saying that he was only uploading photos to show off his recent weight loss. IN HIS ANUS. Three years ago: A Puerto Rico lawmaker has resigned following reports that explicit photos of him surfaced on an iPhone application for gays and bisexuals, the head of the U.S. territory's Senate announced Sunday. Sen. Roberto Arango, a Republican who represents the capital of San Juan, presented his letter of resignation after a weekend meeting, Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz said. Schatz did not release the lawmaker's letter, but said the circumstances that led to the resignation "are very lamentable." Local news media published photos from the application showing a man's nude upper body with a cellphone obscuring his face. Another photo showed a rear view of a nude man on his hands and knees. Another showed a fuzzy image of a face that seemed to match Arango's. According to a JMG source, Arango not only voted for a failed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, he once mocked another legislator by squeezing a rubber duck at him on the Senate floor. In Puerto Rico, the Spanish word for duck means "queer" or "faggot." video at link
PUERTO RICO: Anti-Gay GOP Pol Comes Out Three Years After Grindr Scandal
(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.

Pornography is struggling in California. Since the passage of Measure B in 2012, which strictly imposes the use of condoms on all porn sets in Los Angeles, triple-x movie production has largely begun to move out of the San Fernando Valley. However, gay porn company Falcon Studios is now attempting to hearken back to the days before the measure was passed. In their latest release California Dreamin' 1, the studio filmed all its scenes with condoms but managed to digitally remove the prophylactics in post-production. Director Tony DiMarco stated on the Falcon Studio blog (which has some graphic content) that the film is meant to tap into fantasies of bareback sex in the 1970s and 80s, while also aligning with the safe sex ethos that is currently being enforced in LA. "With this movie I really wanted to capture the essence of that time, when life seemed more carefree and spontaneous," said Dimarco. "In keeping with this concept, I felt that condoms need to be addressed." The decision to go with this technique appears to strike a middle ground between Measure B and the porn industry's belief that scenes without condoms are a better sell with consumers. Nevertheless, while Falcon Studios seems committed to their new style of filming, it's unclear if it will catch on. The company doesn't make clear how expensive it is to painstakingly remove condoms during sex scenes — a luxury that the porn industry, already culturally disinclined to use condoms in lieu of other modes of safe sex, may not be able to afford. Indeed, in the midst of rampant piracy on top of Measure B, many studios have relocated to Las Vegas, where filmmaking is cheaper and regulations are more lax.

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.
I don't mean "pretend" rape with a guy who wanted to acted out a fantasy, or hoping on top of a guy when you knew his "no" was really "yes," I mean knock him down force yourself on another man without consent rape? Did you do it? Why? Can you live with youtself?

Ask anyone who lives in the D.C. area about Craigslist when CPAC is in town. They will tell you that the casual encounters ads are rife with attendees looking for some weekend love. While some of the ads may be jokes, others are certainly real. Blogger Tony Bravo writes that CPAC is… “… one of the biggest gay hook-up destinations this side of the White Party? Given CPAC’s lack of enthusiasm for including gay conservative groups in the conference, this might come as a surprise to some of you. Then again, it might not. Admittedly it’s a very specific type of gay hook-up destination for most DL (“down low”) types…” So, without any further ado, here is a selection of Craigslist ads from the D.C. area (not edited for mistakes). These are NSFW! If you really want to, click the links. CPAC looking for discrete fun – m4m – 26 (Prince George’s County) Staying in town for the conference.

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?

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.”

I have spent 10 years trying be a model that earned me nothing but a desperate reputation in the modeling industry. Not 1 agency would sign me or find me a job. As I continued to fight for my succeed it has set myself back 10 years behind my peers. Wasted a lot of time trying to make it in life that gave me a jobless, homelessness and countless excuses. So many rejections. The digitals you sent me look like a younger boy with great skin. In person you don't look as strong as the pictures. - RED MODELS Your rough facial skin were the reasons we didnt take digitals on you or ask for your contact info. We wish you the best. - FORD MODELS EUROPE I still have not found my success or a better story to tell unless i lied so i could impress my friends. It's becoming a real problem because i just getting older and lonely and even more desperate. Should i denounce my dream and search for better opportunities and a new place in life somewhere else ? Or should i stay and risk wasting another 10 years wishing i should have done something differently ? I just don't see why i should stay and fight for something that has never worked for me and gave me the same results year after year. If no one not thinks or even believes i am a model i think that speaks for itself... But then there are people who tell me I should follow my dream, believe in myself and stick it out. What would you do?

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.

I know there was a thread on here a few months ago asking if he had health problems, and the verdict was that he was just losing weight.\ \ \ That said, he''s talking funny. He''s having trouble enunciating his words. Maybe it''s just a new set of false teeth, but whatever it is he''s been doing it for weeks and it isn''t going away.\ \ \ Are we sure there isn''t something wrong?

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.

[italic]Italy's culture minister has expressed outrage over an advertisement by a US weapons firm showing Michelangelo's David holding a rifle. Dario Franceschini said the image was offensive and violated the law. A number of Italian media web sites carried the image of the advertisement showing David holding a bolt-action rifle. The advertisement, from Illinois-based ArmaLite, carries the line "a work of art" in promoting the $3,000 rifle. Mr Franceschini urged the company to withdraw the advertisement for the AR-50A1. He said in a tweet: "The image of David, armed, offends and infringes the law. We will take action against the American company so that it immediately withdraws its campaign." Historical Heritage and Fine Arts Board curator Cristina Acidini has issued a legal notice to ArmaLite to withdraw the image, saying it distorts the artwork. The government says it has copyright on the commercial use of images of David. Angelo Tartuferi, director of Florence's Accademia Gallery, where the statue is on display, told Repubblica newspaper: "The law says that the aesthetic value of the work cannot be distorted. "In this case, not only is the choice in bad taste but also completely illegal." The marble statue of the Biblical hero was created by Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504 and is considered a masterpiece of the Renaissance.[/italic] (the text is from BBC, the link is to the image in question)

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.

Has anyone tried it? Seems like Netflix is a bust lately.
I caught part of Wendy Williams' show today and couldn't believe how boring the show was. She completely lost the personality she once had. Even more annoying, the audience clapped, cheered, and "awww"-ed what seemed like a thousand times during a celebrity interview. It was some girl from The Hills, and she would say something like "Yeah, I turned 26 last week" and the audience would cheer and clap. Then she said "Yeah, she and I are really good friends" and you would hear "Awwwwww". Why are US shows so intent on filling every second with some sort of noise? In many other countries, talk shows with a live audience only really have applause when a guest comes onto the set. Once they talk, though, reactions aren't overdone for dramatic effect.

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".

Star Magazine is trying to make something offscreen between Kerry Washington and the married actor who plays President Grant, Tony Goldwyn. It sounds like some fan fiction, but I could see his wife wondering if something is going on behind the scenes. In a recent interview, Tony admitted that his wife doesn’t watch the show and that he doesn’t want her to: "The drama on ABC’s Scandal isn’t just on the small screen! In a scenario fit for the juicy series, Tony Goldwyn’s real-life wife is jealous over his too-close-for-comfort relationship with his on-screen love interest, Kerry Washington. In a recent interview, 53 year-old Tony – who plays President Fitzgerald Grant – admitted that his wife, Jane Musky, 59, isn’t a fan of his sexy story line. “My wife doesn’t watch it,” Tony revealed. “I don’t encourage it.” But insiders explain that Jane’s jealousy is about much more than just his love scenes. “Tony and Jane constantly argue about his close off-camera relationship with Kerry,” spills the spy. “Jane has been to the set a few times and thought Kerry was too flirty with him in between takes. Tony constantly reassures her that nothing would ever happen with Kerry, but she will never be comfortable with it.” [From Star Magazine, print edition, July 1, 2013] Kerry Washington is gorgeous and single (as far as I know) and the tabloids are constantly trying to link her with someone. Last year The Enquirer was claiming that Michele Obama was jealous of Kerry’s close relationship with President Obama and had banned her from the White House. (Kerry helped campaign for Obama and was appointed to his Arts and Humanities committee.) That whole scenario sounded like it was lifted from “Scandal,” as does this one. She’s performing a role and she does it so well that people are convinced it mirrors her personal life. I would like to know more about her personal life actually. She seems to play it very close to her chest.

Karma’s a bitch. Last month, The Bachelor’s Juan Pablo Galavis made headlines when he called gay people “perverted” in an interview with TV Page. (He later claimed he was quoted out of context.) Now, Radar Online is reporting it has a full frontal nudie pic of the 32-year-old reality star. The dirty picture was allegedly sent via text message to Juan Pablo’s new lady love. Because nothing says “I love you” like a photograph of one’s genitalia. “The reality TV contestant is fully nude in the photo with an erect penis,” Radar Online reports, “and it has been verified that it came from a cell phone registered to the woman that the 32-year-old reportedly chooses as his final rose recipient.” It is believed the nameless woman is the one responsible for leaking the photo. Sounds like a match made it Heaven. We’re sure Juan Pablo’s legal team is doing everything possible to prevent the photos from being made public. But we know how these things go. If there’s a photo out there, it’s only a matter of time before it makes its way to the internet. See you soon, Juan Pablo!

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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has given its final approval to a sweeping five-year farm bill that provides food for the needy and subsidies for farmers. Ending years of political battles, the Senate on Tuesday sent the measure to President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign it. The Senate passed the bill 68-32. The bill provides a financial cushion for farmers who face unpredictable weather and market conditions. But the bulk of its nearly $100 billion-a-year cost is for the food stamp program, which aids 1 in 7 Americans. House Republicans had hoped to trim the bill's costs, pointing to a booming agriculture sector in recent years and saying the now $80 billion-a-year food stamp program has spiraled out of control. Partisan disagreements stalled the bill for more than two years, but conservatives were eventually outnumbered as the Democratic Senate, the White House and a still-powerful bipartisan coalition of farm-state lawmakers pushed to get the bill done. The final compromise bill would get rid of controversial subsidies known as direct payments, which are paid to farmers whether they farm or not. But most of that program's $4.5 billion annual cost was redirected into new, more politically defensible subsidies that would kick in when a farmer has losses. The food stamp program was cut about 1 percent; the House had pushed for five times that much. Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said before the bill passed that she and her House counterpart, Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., tried to craft a bill that would work for all regions of the country, "from traditional row crops, to specialty crops like fruits and vegetables, to livestock, to organics, to local food systems." Those incentives scattered throughout the bill — a boost for crop insurance popular in the Midwest and higher subsidies for Southern rice and peanut farmers, for example — helped the bill pass easily in the House last week, 251-166. House leaders who had objected to the legislation since 2011 softened their disapproval as they sought to put the long-stalled bill behind them. Leaders in both parties also have hoped to bolster rural candidates in this year's midterm elections. The final savings in the food stamp program, $800 million a year, would come from cracking down on some states that seek to boost individual food stamp benefits by giving people small amounts of federal heating assistance that they don't need. That heating assistance, sometimes as low as $1 per person, triggers higher benefits, and some critics see that practice as circumventing the law. The compromise bill would require states to give individual recipients at least $20 in heating assistance before a higher food stamp benefit could kick in. Some Democrats still objected to the cuts, even though those cuts are much lower than what the House had sought. The Senate-passed farm bill had a $400 million annual cut to food stamps. "This bill will result in less food on the table for children, seniors and veterans who deserve better from this Congress, while corporations continue to receive guaranteed federal handouts," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said. "I cannot vote for it." At the same time, some Republicans took to the Senate floor to say the bill doesn't do enough to trim spending. "It's mind-boggling, the sum of money that's spent on farm subsidies, duplicative nutrition and development assistance programs, and special interest pet projects," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Monday. "How are we supposed to restore the confidence of the American people with this monstrosity?" McCain pointed to grants and subsidies for sheep marketing, for sushi rice, for the maple syrup industry. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a longtime member of the Agriculture Committee, said he would vote against the bill because the compromise does not include provisions he authored to reduce the number of people associated with one farm who can collect farm subsidies. Grassley has for years fought to lower subsidies to the wealthiest farmers. The bill does have a stricter cap on the overall amount of money an individual farmer can receive — $125,000 in a year, when some programs were previously unrestricted. But the legislation otherwise continues a generous level of subsidies for farmers. In place of the direct payments, farmers would now be able to choose between subsidies that pay out when revenue drops or when prices drop. Cotton and dairy supports were overhauled to similarly pay out when farmers have losses. Those programs may kick in sooner than expected as some crop prices have started to drop in recent months. The bill would save around $1.65 billion annually overall. But critics said that under the new insurance-style programs, those savings could disappear if the weather or the market doesn't cooperate. Craig Cox of the Environmental Working Group, an organization that has fought for subsidy reform for several years, said replacing the direct payments with the new programs is simply a "bait and switch." "The potential for really big payoffs" is huge, he said.
I can''t believe we missed this. I just know some of you were the ones commenting on the Huffpo.\ \ Chef with advantages, garden, food from friends still can''t manage to have a fully balanced diet and get enough to eat on a food stamp budget. \ \ Tell us again how all they need to do is eat lentils and cabbage.

What are your suggestions for musical selections that the 2018 skaters should pick for the next Games that could be a nice change of pace? I will start things off by suggesting the score to "The Goonies." You could even incorporate a fun pirate costume too.

I just watched "Bullitt" for the first time on the recommendation of a straight male friend. I did not find it the least bit compelling, save for the scenes of SF in the 60s. And I just don''t understand the appeal of Steve McQueen. He had nice eyes, but otherwise seemed pretty unremarkable.%0D\ %0D\ Is McQueen just one of those manly men on which straight guys have a man-crush? Or did he also appeal to the gays?
I'm thinking of things like MacArthur Park and One Less Bell to Answer. Melancholy, boppy seventies songs. Any ideaS? I'm making a play list.

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?
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? (And I've deliberately excluded Tarantino, as I suspect he'd get the lion share of votes; but there's the "Other" option.) Your choices: Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, The Master) Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel) Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan) Paul Greengrass (United 93, The Bourne Ultimatum, Captain Phillips) Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Her) Steve McQueen (Hunger, Shame, 12 Years a Slave) Alexander Payne (Election, Sideways, The Descendants, Nebraska) David O. Russell (Three Kings, The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle) Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, Melancholia)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What about their special needs? Whine, whine, whine. Americans have stepped up and faced crap for hundreds of years.

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 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.’"

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.

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.

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.”

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.

I've lived in the same large studio in the East Village for 20 years. It's rent-controlled, cheap ($950) and thus immensely hard to leave. But I need a change and would love more space. I really like this area and could afford $1,200-$1,500 a month on a rental or a mortgage. Any advice appreciated.

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.

I was at a restuarant a while back in Chelsea. One of the guys at the table next to us kept name dropping about which celebrities he hung out with when he was in LA. The subject turned to Leo DiCaprio and the rapper, Q-Tip.%0D\ %0D\ Apparently they have been an item for the last 15 years, and vibrant thing is about Leo. 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. He also said Q put pressure on Leo to make Lucas Haas, who had been living with Leo for the last 7 years, move out and Lucas had a nervous breakdown. %0D
what did he have done?

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?

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".
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.

I have always wondered about this!
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.

"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?"

During the Olympics, NBC has been running a commercial for a new show called "About a Boy". A single guy befriends a little boy who lives next door. It looks completely stupid and creepy. Any thoughts? Who will be watching?
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. Ricki Lake, who is awesomely badly dressed, is the only one who can sing, or who is even really trying. Some of the singing (Keith Coogan! 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.
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?
Lots of commercials on radio for a diet plan using "a spice in your kitchen" to reverse diabetes in a month. What is the plan and has anyone tried it?

"From a football standpoint, if the guy can help us win, come help us win," Cousins, who is a devout Christian, is quoted by MLive as saying during an appearance at Michigan's NorthPointe High School. "Now, there are a lot of teammates in my locker room right now who may not have a homosexual lifestyle, but they have sins, too. They’re not perfect. So I don’t say they can’t help us win. Nobody’s perfect.“ He then added: "To that degree, we'd welcome him into our locker room and say come help us win, and hopefully I can love him like Jesus and hopefully show him what it means to follow Jesus."

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.
I got an extension last year and today is the deadline for submitting my taxes. I've been ill and a psychiatric mess and I haven't done them, nor can I locate the documents I need. Yeah, it's all my fault, but what is the penalty for being late, past the extension deadline? thanks.

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
