It's been seven months since Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete left The Talk, and now Remini is finally ready to spill the beans about their surprise exits. On Monday, Remini blamed co-host Sharon Osbourne, 59, for getting them axed from the CBS talk show. "Sharon thought me and Holly were 'ghetto'. . . we were not funny, awkward and didn't know ourselves," Remini, 41, tweeted. "She has the power that was given to her." (Remini was tweeting in response to a radio interview Osbourne had done with Howard Stern, 58.) Osbourne denied Remini's claims via Twitter Tuesday, saying: "In response to Leah Remini's continuous comments that I had her fired from The Talk, let me just go on the record to say I had absolutely nothing to do with her departure from the show and have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip." Leah knows that I have never been in the position to hire or fire anyone on the show," Osbourne added. "That being said, my only wish is that Leah would just stop all this negative, unprofessional and childish behavior. It's been seven months. . .it's time to move on. Leah is a very talented actress and I only wish her happiness and success." She concluded: "I know that better things are to come if she can just get beyond all this negativity." Remini didn't stop tweeting, though. On Wednesday, she argued that Osbourne "just wants publicity out of this" and said she has no intention of keeping quiet. "If someone wants me to stop, they should call a lawyer and tell them what I am NOT telling the truth about," Remini told her followers. "We can go from there."
I think not!

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

I have no idea who Sam Smith is, but that song is tiresome and sounds like it's being sung by a black drag queen with a church choir as backup. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can't get in my car and turn on the radio without this fucking awful, melodramatic torch song blaring. It's even played on rotation on the satellite top 100 streams. Apparently Sam Smith is a white guy, I just looked him up. Which makes this God-awful song even more irritating. MAKE IT STOPPPPP!

I just saw the episode where the woman won't leave Daddy's room because "he promised me marriage!" This is eventually thwarted by the woman's son hustling her away. Her son is a 45 year old complete dork, who seems absolutely TERRIFIED of Rose's bag of skimpy undies, fleeing in terror when she comes on to him. Are we supposed specifically to infer that he's gay?

[quote]Syfy, Space and Temple Street Productions announced today that Hannah John-Kamen, who starred in the West End musical Viva Forever, Aaron Ashmore, who played Steve Jinks on the long-running Warehouse 13, and Luke Macfarlane, who portrayed Scotty Wandell in the popular Brothers and Sisters, have been cast as the leads in the upcoming original space adventure drama series Killjoys. [quote]From Temple Street Productions, the producers of Orphan Black, and Michelle Lovretta, the creator of Lost Girl who will serve as writer and showrunner, Killjoys follows a fun-loving, hard living trio of interplanetary bounty hunters sworn to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant system on the brink of a bloody, multi-planetary class war.

This time going after Adult Swim. The late night programming on the Cartoon Network, known as Adult Swim, plans to air the non-animated show "Black Jesus" portraying Jesus as a "black guy living in the hood." The show depicts him living in Compton Gardens and makes a mockery of our Lord. The foul language used in the trailer, including using the Lord's name in vain, is disgusting. In addition, there is violence, gunfire and other inappropriate gestures which completely misrepresent Jesus. This is blasphemy! "Black Jesus" is set to premiere on August 7 at 11:00 pm ET/ 10:00 pm CT, unless we intervene. Adult Swim plans to blaspheme Jesus on a weekly basis. This mockery will be similar to "South Park" and "Family Guy," but much worse since the entire program will be based on lies about Christianity. 1MM will defend our Savior because He is Holy! Adult Swim is obviously not a family network, and this program is set to air later in the evening when children should be asleep, but that is no excuse. Adult Swim has crossed the line by belittling the Christian religion with foul jokes. We need to send a loud and clear message to Adult Swim, its owner Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (a Time Warner Company), and all potential advertisers of "Black Jesus" that this kind of programming is insulting and completely unacceptable. Adult Swim is not ridiculing any other religion currently and wouldn't dream of mocking Mohammed or Muslims. If we speak with one voice now, we can keep this program from ever seeing the light of day. Christians must take a stand and not be silent. Networks like Adult Swim continue to mock Christianity, and we will not stand for it. Christians should no longer sit idly by and allow this blasphemy to continue without speaking up in protest. "Black Jesus" is anoher attempt to distort the truth about Christianity. There is power in numbers! Forward this to everyone you know in a fight to keep this show off the air.

Most of the time, litigation in federal court is pretty straightforward: Someone sues someone else; one side wins; the other side appeals. Done and done. Not so with the battle raging over Obamacare’s subsidies. In the wake of yesterday’s dueling court rulings, that fight – one with massive implications for the law’s future – has descended into an unusually complex legal chess match. The next move: Look for Obamacare’s challengers to run to the Supreme Court and ask it to hear the case now. The Obama administration, meanwhile, will be pressing the fight in a lower court and doing everything it can to stay out of the high court altogether. Obamacare’s future may depend on how willing the Supreme Court is to step in. * * * Yesterday’s rulings are about a key piece of the Affordable Care Act: the tax credits, or “subsidies,” the law provides to lower-income Americans who buy insurance through health exchanges. Those subsidies dramatically reduce the cost of insurance, making coverage possible for millions who otherwise couldn’t afford it. In New Jersey, for example, the average “sticker price” for a monthly premium is $465, or more than $5,000 per year – out of reach for those at the bottom of the income bracket. But most people who have signed up through Obamacare qualified for a subsidy – $317, on average – making the consumer’s cost just $148 a month. Without those subsidies, many new customers would not sign up. And without an influx of healthy new customers, the insurance market could face what health analysts call the “death spiral”: Only people who are already sick (and expensive to cover) would find health insurance to be a good deal and sign on, which would raise insurers’ average costs, which would lead to a big hike in premiums, which would push more healthy customers out of the market, and so on. That’s what makes yesterday’s rulings so important: If the law’s challengers prevail, subsidies will be unavailable in 36 states. The issue comes down to four words in the Affordable Care Act. When Congress drafted the statute’s tax-subsidy section, it wrote that insurance applicants are eligible for subsidies if they enroll through an exchange “established by the State.” But after the statute was enacted, 36 states refused to set up exchanges, so the federal government did it for them. Obamacare opponents have argued that in those 36 states, there is no exchange “established by the state” and thus those states’ residents can’t get subsidies. The administration has taken a different tack: In a ruling last year, the IRS concluded that federally-established exchanges stand in the shoes of state-established exchanges, and it made subsidies available nationwide. Obamacare opponents quickly challenged the IRS decision as unlawful – in direct conflict with what Congress wrote. That fight has been raging before a pair of federal appeals courts: the D.C. Circuit in Washington, D.C., and the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia. Yesterday, in a wild turn of events, both courts handed down their long-awaited rulings within hours. In the first ruling, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit sided with the challengers and ruled that the government cannot provide subsidies in 36 states. Soon after, a three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit came out the other way, siding with the IRS and ruling that, read in context, the statute authorizes subsidies nationwide. So what happens next? The government has already said what it will do: ask the full, 11-judge D.C. Circuit to rehear the case. The majority of those 11 judges were appointed by Democratic presidents, and so far, every judge to weigh in on the subsidies has voted along party lines. The administration thus has a decent chance of flipping the D.C. Circuit result. It is hoping, no doubt, that the case will end there. If both the D.C. Circuit and the Fourth Circuit end up siding with the government, and no court disagrees, then the best reason for Supreme Court review – a disagreement among the lower courts – disappears. The challengers, however, know that’s the government’s best play. That’s exactly why their next move is likely to run straight to the Supreme Court. They’ll appeal from the Fourth Circuit decision and ask the high court to take the case now and resolve the current split between the two appeals-court decisions. The government presumably will oppose that move, telling the Supreme Court to sit tight until the D.C. Circuit is finished. But the Supreme Court could decide to take the case now anyway. And if it does, watch out: The high court’s five conservatives may well be sympathetic to the challengers’ argument that the statute’s key words – “established by the State” – mean exactly what they say. Chief Justice Roberts, in particular, could adopt that position without contradicting what he said in the first blockbuster Obamacare litigation. The government’s best shot, in short, is to bar the door to the Supreme Court. Obamacare’s future hangs in the balance.
Obamacare on trial: The race back to the Supreme Court is on

Suck it, bitches! *** Disney's fairy tale update starring Angelina Jolie is the highest-grossing original film of 2014 Disney's “Maleficent” has surpassed $700 million at the global box office, the studio said Tuesday. It's Disney's 15th release ever to reach that threshold and the second of 2014, the first being the Marvel superhero sequel “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” It's also Angelina Jolie‘s highest-grossing live-action film of all time domestically ($229 million), internationally ($472 million) and globally ($700 million), as well as the highest-grossing original film of 2014 worldwide. Released domestically on May 30, Maleficent opened at No. 1 with $69.4 million and has seen strong week-to-week holds. It's till in the top ten, eight weeks into its run. Internationally, “Maleficent” has been bolstered by exceptional performances in China ($47.4 million), Mexico ($45.7 million), Russia ($37.5 million) and Brazil ($32.3 million), as well as in Japan ($32.7 million) where the film opened July 5 and has held the top spot for three weekends running. It was only a few months ago that analysts had, foolishly it would seem, branded Disney's live-action adventure 'Maleficent' as a flop, and that was even before it had been released in cinemas. However, after a strong opening and consistent debut week and beyond, the stattos were left scratching their heads at the impressive $697 million it has made to date, from a $180 million budget. But what's more impressive is that 'Maleficent' was, until Michael Bay's 'Transformers: Age of Extinction', the highest grossing non-superhero film of 2014, which was a heck of an achievement, considering it was predicted to flop upon its end of May release. Impressively, 'Maleficent' can now boast as being the highest-grossing film sold on a single movie star's name. And what does that mean? Well, it basically means films that were marketed with a single name on the poster and its advertising material. Angelina Jolie's name solely features on the posters, which qualifies the film. It has proven to be a big hit across the globe and appears to have captured the imaginations of audiences in far greater numbers than anyone ever thought it would. Top 5 Movies sold on a single star's name: 1. Angelina Jolie – Maleficent – 697.2 2. Tom Cruise – Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol – 694.7 3. Tom Hanks – Forrest Gump – 677.4 4. Bruce Willis – The Sixth Sense – 672.8 5. Will Smith - Hancock – 624.4
Great list.

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

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

(ABC News) - A 5-year-old Massachusetts boy battling cancer said all he wants for his upcoming birthday is a box of birthday cards. Danny Nickerson, of Foxboro, Massachusetts, will turn six on July 25. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor this past October -- one of the most chemotherapy-resistant cancers. As a result, he has since stopped going to kindergarten. The boy gets lonely from time to time, and is always happy to get cards with his name written on them. “He can recognize his name now,” Carley Nickerson, Danny’s mother told ABC News. “When he saw his name on the package from magical fairies on Easter, he was so happy.” But the packages and cards stopped after Easter. “He had 33 radiations from November through December last year,” Nickerson said. “We are now getting chemo therapy every two weeks.” Doctors tell Nickerson that less than 10 percent of the children diagnosed with this type of cancer live longer than 18 months. “I don’t really believe in that. He is doing great,” Nickerson said. “Every day is a blessing for us,” So far, Danny has received about 40 letters. “I gave him to key to the P.O. box,” Nickerson said. “He was so excited when he opened it.” Nickerson said Danny loves Lego and Super Mario. “I wish Lego makes Super Mario toys,” Nickerson chuckled. “That would really make him happy.” Danny’s birthday is July 25. All cards can be mailed the Nickerson’s home addressed: Danny Nickerson, P.O. Box 212, Foxboro, MA, 02035.

He's a retired intellectual property lawyer. Good-hearted and well-meaning. But GD it, just about every time I go out onto my patio (he lives next door) to water plants or clean stuff up (multiple times per week, depending on weather -- more, obviously, in the growing months), he suddenly 'appears'. He has this booming voice and yells HELLO! so loud (to announce himself) I practically crap myself. I know he isn't trying to be cute and sneak up on me, but it amounts to it. Don't like that. Also don't like being bugged when I'm doing yard work. I don't have a gate and it wouldn't be practical/aesthetic to put one in. The few times I have ventured onto their yard, uninvited, to chat with him and his wife, I haven't been received well. I got the message: it's OK for him to invade my privacy, but not vice versa. I gotta tread light with this guy and his wife. I take off during the year for weeks at a time and they take care of mail, cats, etc. while I'm away. I do the same for them when they travel. Yes, he's probably bored and lonely, but damn it, so am I sometimes and I don't go bugging people uninvited. I'm beginning to hate going out to water. I've tried the body English thing and being somewhat brusque, but he doesn't seem to get it. Sorry this is so long. Solutions? Suggestions? I've thought about turning the hose on him, but that's not practical, ha ha! TIA!

People will bitch about my saying it, but the U.S. media is becoming dangerously controlled, influenced by and populated with Brits. From the NBC News president to news network talking heads to satirists to magazine, newspaper, blog editors and now presidents of major networks, able to influence coverage and public opinion. Sure, Aussies are there also, but it's Brits that are becoming a dominant force in fifth estate (U.S. media). No other country on Earth would allow such a strong positioning of Americans into their news media. Why isn't this ever talked or written about? It may seem harmless and, for now, it may be. But this is a risky thing to allow in the long run. The Brits are no doubt our friends and close cousins of American society, but in many ways, we're allowing our media to become compromised by outside influence.

...... or know what it's called? My great grandmother use to tell a story about cheating death. When she was young and living in Jerusalem she became very sick and her parents were told she would die. Her mother went to her rabbi who found a woman who was conected to their temple who taught her how to perform a ritual that changed my great grandmother's name so the Angel of Death couldn't find her. She survived and fifteen years later her husband's doctor found that he had cancer.. She was told there was nothing that could be done to save him, he would soon die. She performed the name changing ritual to trick the Angel of Death and he lived for another ten years. I had thought that the ritual/ceremony was just one of her stories but I've heard versions of the same story from several people over the years, primarily from people who had lived in Jerusalem. Has anyone heard of this? Or know what it's called?
This happened not too far from me although I live in eastern Ontario. I see CNN has now picked up the story. Very sad. (CNN) -- The mayor of a community just outside Montreal died of anaphylactic shock Sunday after being attacked by wasps while on vacation. Lucie Roussel, the mayor of La Prairie, was 51, according to a release issued by the city. Roussel had served as mayor since 2003. A lawyer by training, Roussel is survived by her two children, Constance, 20, and Antonin, 19. Roussel was attacked by approximately 15 wasps, according to a spokeswoman for La Prairie, Chantal Charron. However, Charron said the mayor was not allergic to wasps. Canadian broadcaster CTV spoke with Roussel's former colleague Reine Hebert, who spoke of the loss. "I'm thinking about her family. They lost their father a few years ago. You can't do that to the family. I mean it's so sad." Hebert continued, saying "It's sad for the people, it's sad for her two children, for the whole city." Several politicians expressed their condolences online after word of Roussel's death became public, including the mayor of Montreal, Denis Coderre, who tweeted about the death, saying it was "very sad," and offered his condolences to her family and her two children. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

He became a childhood favourite to a generation of fans when he starred in Boy Meets World. But while Ben Savage has returned to the role of Cory Matthews in a spin off show, he is doing it with a very different looking profile. For the 33-year-old appears to have had a nose job if his pointy looking schnoz on Girl Meets World is any guide. It is certainly a much different look to the rounded conker his fans know and love from his early days on the show. A long time in the making, fans are looking forward to seeing grown up history teacher Cory and his chemistry with daughter Riley, who is played by Rowan Blanchard and is the main character on the new show. Explaining the concept, Ben said: 'While fans of the show I think a lot of Boy Meets World fans are sort of expecting the show to pick up where it left off. 'And for us, really, I don't want them to be disappointed, but this show, Girl Meets World, is for a new generation. It's not so much a continuation of Boy Meets World as it's a brand-new slate for a brand-new generation of kids. However he said he is hoping that the programme can be enjoyed by the whole family. He said: 'Some of the best emails and notes and messages and tweets I've gotten are from former Boy Meets World fans who tell me how much they're excited about watching the new show with their own children. 'It's really a nice feeling to know that they grew up with us, and now their kids are going to get to grow up with Girl Meets World. Disney have just released the first trailer promoting the show's summer debut, and it shows Ben and on-screen wife Danielle Fishel bringing up their own family in New York City.

A Florida couple were arrested after they had sex on a public beach Sunday, according to WTVT Channel 13. Several children were among the stunned onlookers. Jose Caballero, 39, and Elissa Alvarez, 20, were charged with lewd and lascivious behavior. A woman recorded the incident and turned the video over to Bradenton police. "I've lived here since 1978, and I go to the beaches, and I've never seen anything like this," she told the TV station. Caballero is a personal trainer who served several years in prison for cocaine trafficking, according to the New York Daily News. To read the full story, go to myfoxtampabay.com.

Frank Skinner is a popular English comedian, and has been doing a weekly radio show for a few years now (you can get it as a podcast). There are no guests or preordained topics, just a freeform chat with his 2 co-hosts, but it's one of the most consistently entertaining and funny podcasts I've found. The reason why I'm posting about it here is not so much Frank himself but rather one of the 2 sidekicks, Emily Dean; she's a fashion editor in her day job, and has a very Datalounge sensibility - her partly self-ironic snobbishness often reminds me of this place.
Sorry Seth. You have jumped the shark, gone over the top or whatever. You've taken to talking so fast that you swollowyourwords. I have no idea what you are talking about most of the time. Any what's with the "tsk tsk tsk" noice you keep making. That is so stereotype gay. I didn't know that any gay men acutally made that sound, but it's what srt8 guys do when they want to make fun of gays, so don't perpetuate that stereotype. Can't you act more manly on the air?

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

Which very well-known celebrity reporter, who has turned himself into a bit of a star, has a very kinky profile and naked pictures on a gay hookup site? Naughty But Nice Rob saw the images – our eyes are burning – showing him totally naked and very excited. It was shockingly thick and around 9 inches. His profile reveals he likes kinky group sex and “anything goes.” He adds that he doesn’t smoke but does do drugs. Additionally, he writes that he is on the “HIV-preventing miracle drug” PrEP, so he doesn’t practice safe sex! Guess who? Trust me, you know him!

It had to happen. Can Eddie fake continuous love and affection for the cameras? Their every move is followed by the tabloids. Now celebrity couple LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian will let their everyday lives play out on TV with their own reality series. VH1 has ordered LeAnn & Eddie (working title), a six-episode half-hour series to premiere on VH1 in Fall 2013/Winter 2014. Scott and Deirdre Gurney’s Gurney Prods., which is behind monster unscripted hit Duck Dynasty, is producing. LeAnn & Eddie will chronicle how singer-actress Rimes and actor Cibrian navigate their careers while also co-parenting Eddie’s two sons. It also promises for the duo to poke fun at what it’s like to be a high-profile couple with more than a little misinformation out there about them. “We are really excited to be working together on a unique show that will give you a glimpse into who we really are or better yet who we’re really not,” Rimes and Cibrian said. “We’re thrilled to partner with VH1 and The Gurneys to put our spin on a project full of love, humor and music.” Rimes and Cibrian will executive produce the series through Country Cuban Productions, along with the Gurneys, John Ferriter for Octagon Entertainment and Scotty Abrams for Maniac Filmworks and Music. “This is going to be a really fun show in which we hope to reveal what their lives are really like – from the normalcy of their home life, to what drives them artistically, to the chaos of their celebrity life,” said Tom Calderone, President of VH1.

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

is turning into the LMN, since Lifetime is abandoning that format As young girls, we wished upon a star that someday a prince – preferably one of TV royalty – would sweep us off our feet and we’d live happily ever after. But then we grew up and learned the hard way that heartthrobs can be real heartbreakers. In Investigation Discovery’s (ID) original new series HEARTBREAKERS, hunky Hollywood actors from the ‘80s and ‘90s reunite on screen to portray real-life dreamboats who turned into total nightmares. Directed and written in a sensational, Aaron Spelling-esque style reminiscent of classic primetime soaps, HEARTBREAKERS takes true stories ripped from the headlines to show what really happens when the perfect catch turns out to be the perfect criminal. Featuring Kevin Sorbo, Jack Wagner, Judd Nelson, Rob Estes, Tracey Gold, Nicole Eggert, Jamie Luner, Christopher Knight, and Antonio Sabato, Jr., HEARTBREAKERS makes its world premiere debut on ID on Wednesday, August 13 at 10/9c. “Our viewers simply cannot get enough true stories of love gone wrong,” said Henry Schleiff, Group President, Investigation Discovery, Destination America, American Heroes Channel and Discovery Fit & Health. “With HEARTBREAKERS, ID has hit on a unique hybrid that marries those true stories our viewers crave with all the romance and drama that they love in their favorite primetime soaps, featuring an amazing line-up of television and movie legends in the most over the top, deliciously devilish roles they have ever played.” HEARTBREAKERS is rooted in real stories that are already truly unbelievable on their own. The series also features interviews and behind-the-scenes commentary with the actual people involved, layering in context and additional information about each case. And not to disappoint, HEARTBREAKERS provides a nod to the actors’ previous lives in the primetime soap world, dropping little golden surprises that are sure to appeal to the fan’s sense of nostalgia: anyone for The Brady Bunch’s pork chops and apple sauce HEARTBREAKERS premieres on Wednesday, August 13 at 10/9c.

Did you just see a poor woman accidentally fall from a rope swing? If you did you’re a victim of a predatory passive aggressive personality type. This is the best example of a PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE PREDATOR at work. Do NOT feel sorry for this woman! She knew EXACTLY what was going to happen. This is the way she controls people. By GUILTING them into feeling so sorry for her they then become compliant with her needs. As soon as she lands she falsely exclaims “I can’t feel my legs…wahwahwah.. HOLD MY HAND.” He wasn’t going to hold her hand any other way. This woman is no victim, she is a PREDATOR! Manipulating someone else’s emotions and hurting yourself to make someone else feel bad in order to control them is especially rotten. Its a stunt done in thousands of ways by millions of people. There are sooo few “accidents”. Often accidents are simply someones repurposed rage. For example your neighbor “accidentally” forgets to water your plants while you’re on vacation and they all die. It wasn’t an accident. The person was resentful that you burdened them with this chore AND that you went on a vacation and passive aggressively punishes you by letting something you care that you’ve put in their hands without their request die. This case is similar but even more twisted. This woman knows that there is a VERY strong chance this will not end well but she’s willing to take the risk because of the potential of an opportunity to manipulate other people through their guilt. She takes the jump, suffers very real pain, and although she may consciously feel regret she could not be happier because her, potentially subconscious, plan of passive aggressive control of others has them hooked! She should be pushed off a higher cliff by children. This “victim” is CONNIVING! She’s the ultimate predator, willing to risk physical pain to have her needs met. She’s no different then any other mega sociopath. You just thought you saw a tragic woman hurt herself and you felt bad and maybe laughed. If you did, she tricked you. In either of those reactions she wins. I wonder if this woman is a candidate for Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy? Im pretty sure this behavior qualifies as Maunchausen Syndrome but the BY PROXY version is so much more INSIDIOUS! She’s definitely willing to hurt herself to make you feel bad so she can control you. Im forced to wonder if she would hurt others in order for you to feel bad and thus be able to control you as well. See, and here you thought you saw one thing, and it turns out it was something quite different entirely. All you needed to be was curious enough to look beyond the surface.
I wish she would fall on her ass. I'd just step over her.
I'm the ashtrays and cigarettes!

Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story" series is known for pushing boundaries and scaring the hell out of viewers, and it looks like his latest installment is preparing to pack on the weird. FX CEO John Landgraf attended the TCAs this week and said fans of the show can expect a darker Season 4 than what they saw with "American Horror Story: Coven." “Some years it’s going to be big and bright and brash and campy the way 'Coven' is," Landgraf said. "Other years it’s going to be dark and brooding -- like 'Asylum' was. I guess I would put 'Freak Show' half-way in between the two. It’s got a little bit more humor and a little bit more camp, but its got a brooding period feel to it also." "Freak Show" is set to premiere in October and Murphy is bringing back stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates for the fourth go-around of the horror series. Taking place in Florida in the '50s, Landgraf promises the newest season has a very different look from what we've seen so far. "The characters are really distinctive, really original, some are really strange," Landgraf said, "but I think really compelling, I love what I’ve read so far.” Speaking of strange, if this set photo of Paulson playing conjoined twins Bette and Dot is anything to go by, we think anyone worried Murphy was losing his touch when it comes to terror should just relax. He's still got it.
So what was the answer?
Beyoncé and Jay Z have more than 99 problems and only “divine intervention” can save the troubled marriage, a source close to the powerful couple has told The Post. While Jay Z seemingly is the one most at fault, he’s also the one doing all in his power to keep the couple together, even hiring marriage counselors who are believed to be traveling with the super duo on their tour, the source said. “They are trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing . . . This is a huge concert tour and they’ve already gotten most of the money from the promoters up front,” the source said. Despite the tens of millions the couple will pocket from the current tour, this will certainly be their last and the end of the tour could officially spell the end of the marriage, the source said. “There are no rings, if you haven’t noticed,” the source said, admitting that he thought things would get better after the birth of the couple’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. “For just a split moment, things got real for them and she was even talking about adding to the family,” the source said. “But, after a while, Jay was out doing Jay and Bey was out doing Bey. They made the classic mistake of thinking a child would change everything and help to rekindle the initial fire, and it didn’t.”
ooh he hit a part II only took a year !
It's pretty obvious that (almost) no one cares anymore. Can you think of anyone in the wings who would really shock the general public?

He is now 45 with very little money and very few job opportunities. He's aging, has no wife nor any children. He's on the z-list with no real following. And as for Queer As Folk, he basically whored himself out for a job if he is in fact straight. Where do you think he will be years from now?
My father gave me $15k. I refused to take it, and told him I did not feel right, or good about taking money from him and my mother. He told me to take the money and use it. Buy a car, spend it, start a business. Do something with it. I don't know why he did this, and I know my sisters would shit if they ever found out about it. I've spent the last few days looking online for possible business ideas. All I've found are websites telling people to start a successful website and sell it. Start a website, make it popular and make money with AdSense. Start a website and make money with PPCs, (pay-per-clicks). I can barely navigate Datalounge, so much as start websites. So I'm hoping to get some advice from Dataloungers. No one here bullshits--when it comes to money. So what kind of business should I look into?
I'm responsible for my own orgasm!!
Make sure you click on the photo, ensuring that it's full size. Browsers instantly scale it down. It's a close up of her face from a few weeks ago. It's amazing, all that money and she can't get a proper wax. Maybe it's her five o'clock shadow.
The Ramoncoaster is in full swing. Will she pop someone's eye out with some more plasticware? Aviva is shedding "friends" faster than body parts. Given her on again/off again appearance in the opening credits, will she stick around for another season? Will her dad's dick finally fall off from some nasty STD? Heather's only significant contribution is still her hot husband. Will he and Mario finally get some drunken alone time? Will Sonja's tooth get lost (permanently) at the bottom of a champagne bottle? Will Carole finally finish her transformation into Steven Tyler? Will Lumann be un-demoted and be brought back as a full housewife? Will we get to see some of her short, thick Frenchmen? Will Kristen--oh who cares. Zzzzzzzz!

I live across the street from an apartment building. About an hour ago, some guy was arrested and dragged out of the building. Turns out he's the boyfriend of a tenant, and he was there to beat up one of her neighbours. He wanted to beat the woman up because she called the cops on his girlfriend. Apparently the GF was walking around in the parking lot around 11AM completely nude. It was a hot and sunny day, and she wanted to enjoy the sun, or so she explained. When the neighbour called the cops on her, she put up a fight. She was supposedly on meth during the altercation with the cops, and the nude walkabout. I was at work, so I missed the nudie show, but I got the entire BF arrest. I really hate this neighbourhood.
He may not be conventionally hot but there's something attractive and sexy about him

Gets a rave review in Guardian. I find it fascinating that Linklater kept the filming a secret for so many years (for those who don't know about the film, it chronicles the life of a boy and his family over 11 real years). He is a great director and I love that he is not a shameless self-promoter. He just sort of keeps it really quiet and announces his films when they're ready to be shown. Any other DLers like his work?

OK, I'm finally ready to get rid of cable because it just isn't worth the expense. I'm keeping cable internet, in fact I'm increasing the speed. So what now? What online TV services do you use/like best? My experience with Netflix was that it was mostly old direct-to-video movies no one wanted to see in the first place. One of the other services (Hulu?) wanted you to BUY newer movies instead of just watching them once. Hulu/ Vudu/ Amazon Prime/ Something else? What works for you?

I broke my toe, and so I've been laid up the last 36 hours. I searched for some cool new music and found a couple of gems. Yes, they gave me Percocet. I narrowed down from 8 to 2. These were the two that blew me away- especially the video for the former, and the live Letterman appearance for the latter. The first is by Future Islands, "Seasons Change" and the song takes a few plays before you love it, but the video is jawdroppingly gorgeous and the dude is HAWWWTTT! They even show him without the cowboy hat. Dude is awesome sexy cowboy hot! The second is Kiesza. Inside.
It's strange--my pit, crotch, and leg hair has reduced by almost 50% over the past 2-3 years but my I've still got a full head of hair. Any thoughts on why this could be? I'm a little nervous of what I'm reading online because a lot of sources are suggesting thyroid issues.

I am NOT "cisgendered." I reject that label. Why? From what I've read, "cisgendered" is a label that began in academic discourse as a way of describing people who weren't trans. But the meaning of it was akin to what we might call "normatively gendered." That means your gender identity is within a limited range of what society considers to be acceptably "normal." Normative is a word of negation and resistance. It rejects the boundaries delineated as "normal" by illustrating their discursive construction, i.e. not essential. However, while "cisgendered" operates within a broader language of gender as a means of description, it is also prescriptive and limiting. The reason I place it in quotations is because it sets up a binary that is antithetical to the purpose for which it is employed in popular discourse. If gender isn't binary, if it is fluid and can transgress boundaries, than a binary between cisgender and transgender cannot exist. If it does, then we must delineate what "real" transgender or "true" transgender means, and who is allowed to inhabit it. If "cisgendered" means your gender identity matches the social construct attached to the sex you were assigned at birth, than there cannot be a male gender identity that acts outside those normative social boundaries. And if you say there is variation on gender identity, but "cis-" just means you were born with a penis and identify and live as a man, than you negate the many variations on what it means to "be a man" or even to "live as a man." You are imposing your concept of those things onto me, enforcing a binary that is paradoxical. Moreover, you are denying the gender fluidity of those who have a penis and identify as male, but prefer women's underwear or wear makeup or transgress norms in innumerable other ways. Adding more labels -- like "cisgendered male transvestite" -- in order to justify your act of aggression defeats the purpose of simplifying things with words like "cisgendered." What is perhaps most disturbing in being called "cisgendered," is that it imposes an identity on me. Doing so invalidates my complicated experience of gender. Don't tell me that I am somehow normatively gendered for my body when my life experience has led me through periods of deep confusion about my gender identity and living as gender queer. How is living gender queer normative? How does that reconcile with the sex and gender roles society associates with having a penis? Moreover, you don't get to make a reductive statement about my gender identity or how I embody my gender while trying to argue for recognition of the diversity of other peoples' embodied genders. If you are going to argue for a less simplistic reading of others' embodied genders, than you have to do so with mine too. That includes recognizing that as a queer person, I'm automatically not inhabiting the normative roles society has constructed for those with a penis. My behavior, and sexual and romantic attachments aren't normative for "men." My intuitiveness isn't normative. My choices of profession haven't been normative. My mode of speech isn't normative.

FX does it again! The premiere tonight was killer.
Could life imitate art yet again, or -- more specifically -- could a title come true? Deadline Hollywood reports HBO is in talks with Lisa Kudrow and director Michael Patrick King to bring "The Comeback" back, the duo's comedy from 2005 that's become a cult classic. Though it only lasted one, 13-episode season, "The Comeback" earned respect from most critics and has developed quite the following since it went off the air. Recent successful resurrections have given new life to many TV shows with rumors constantly swirling of comebacks, "Arrested Develpment" being the most notable example. This makes the news of the Kudrow comedy's possible return even more apt. "The Comeback" was very much ahead of its time, being a single camera reality show spoof. Relevancy shouldn't be an issue, even almost a decade after its original airing. Valerie Cherish still has plenty to teach us. On March 19, Kudrow retweeted a Slate story suggesting "The Comeback" deserves another season. It even went so far as to suggest HBO should make it available on the company's streaming service, HBOgo.
HBO In Talks with Lisa Kudrow to Bring 'The Comeback' Back for Season Two
Former friends Spike Lee and Michael Rapaport are now warring over gentrification in Brooklyn borough of New York City and the quality of films they pro due. Rapaport fired the latest verbal missile at Lee during a visit Tuesday to HuffPost Live. Rapaport, who is producing and directing his new film My Man is a Loser, denounced the filmmaker a “s— stain” who is playing the race card when he discusses gentrification in New York. Then, he went on to disparage Lee’s filmmaking career. “When’s the last Spike Lee film you saw?” Rapaport asked host Marc Lamont Hill. “Nobody goes to see them s—-.” Despite coming to talk about his new film, Rapaport instead appropriated the balance of his interview time addressing Lee, who during a May interview on HuffPost Live called Rapaport “stupid” and said he “doesn’t know what he’s f—— talking about.” Lee also discounted Rapaport’s talents as a director, to which Rapaport fired back Tuesday, “I’m going to see him sooner or later,” Rapaport said, which some took as a a threat. “I wanna see you say ‘you’re stupid and your movie sucks’ right to my face.” Lee, whose industry beefs are legendary and go way back to the time he slammed Morgan Freeman fiercely for his subservient role in Driving Miss Daisy, responded to Rapaport saying a month earlier that Spike Lee had no business talking about Brooklyn’s gentrification since Lee lives on the Upper East Side in the neighboring borough of Manhattan.
Does anyone have any idea who he is?
Sad, isn't it?
I have not seen 1 or 2 in 6-7 years and decided to watch on HBO on Demand. I always thought the 2nd film was better (and wasn't it more critically acclaimed than the 1st?) but my god the first one is by far the best. Much more plot driven than part 2, but much more exciting... James Caan is sexy has hell too! Any fans? (I love mob films)

The bankrupt city of Detroit is shutting off water at a rate of 3,000 residents per week. It also recently increased water rates by nine per cent. Nearly half of the 329,000 accounts are in arrears and the average cost of a Detroit water bill is double the national average. Maude Barlow, chair of the Council of Canadians, flagged Detroit's plan to deal with delinquent accounts to the United Nations earlier this year. The UN calls the plan to shut off water a clear violation of human rights. "I've seen this in the poorest countries in the world," Barlow said. "This is what we call failed states, but to see this in North America, it's a disgrace." "We're sitting on the Great Lakes, supplying a fifth of the world’s surface water. It’s appalling," Barlow said. Barlow will be part of a convoy bringing what she called "good Canadian, public, clean water" across the river to Detroit on July 24. "Our water is their water," Barlow said. Maude Barlow Maude Barlow will lead a convoy of Canadians bringing water to Detroit on July 24. (Council of Canadians) She is also preparing an appeal to the White House. "We’re going right to the top," Barlow said. She has one question for President Barack Obama. "There are potentially 500,000 people who are going to spend a good part of the summer, in the heat, in the summer, without water. Is that OK with you?" she said Do you agree?
What is it about them that is so hot? Anybody else like them?

He narrowly escaped a DUI charge last October, and now The Fosters star Jake T. Austin is facing a new set of legal troubles. The 19-year-old former Disney star has been charged with one count of misdemeanor hit and run following a four-car crash last November in Sherman Oaks, California, TMZ reports. According to the website, Jake's car - a 2010 Audi with New York number plates - reportedly drove into three parked cars around 3am, causing 'major damage' to the vehicles. The official incident report, obtained by TMZ, allegedly indicates the Audi is registered to the actor, whose real name is Jake Szymanski. Witnesses said that after the car crash, a passenger in the vehicle threw a bottle of vodka at a nearby building. Eyewitnesses also said they saw the people inside the car call a service to pick them up while another eyewitness said one of the passengers matched Jake's description. He faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted and a possible probation violation for his DUI.

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

BLIND ITEM: Which celebrity reporter has naked pictures and kinky profile on sex site? Which very well-known celebrity reporter who has turned himself into a bit of a star, has a very kinky profile and naked pictures on a gay hookup site. NAUGHTY BUT NICE ROB saw the images – our eyes are burning, showing him totally naked and very excited. It was shockingly thick and around 9 inches. His profile reveals he likes kinky group sex and ‘anything goes.’ He adds that he doesn’t smoke but does do drugs. Additionally, he writes that he is on the “HIV-preventing miracle drug” PrEP, so he doesn’t practice safe sex! GUESS WHO….TRUST ME, YOU KNOW HIM!

15 Gorgeous Spots That Take Us Back In Time...Without The Crowds
The Patsy Kensit thread has me curious about other UK starts of TV, film or music that are fairly well known in the UK, but are unknown in the States. I know that many of the people on the TV shows that *have* reached the US (e.g. Downtown Abbey, Call The Midwife) have been recognizable performers in the UK. Who would you put on that list? And why are they famous - or what should we Americans look for, or pay attention to, when it comes to their work?
This is the guy who single-handedly shortened World War II. It was really sad when he was arrested because he was gay and died as a result. I think this is a really good argument for gay marriage. There are so many gay geniuses out there that could help society why no allow gay marriage?
And I don't mean just because he plays a child's game for a living. Here in New York, people are acting like he's a beloved family member because he plays for the hapless Mets. Everyone says he's such a great guy. He looks great ... not arrogant at. He's self-effacing. He acts like he deserves to be "Miss July" in a car repair shop calendar. He gives gift baskets of his baseball memorabilia as a consolation prize the morning after he autographs them. That's after giving them the gift that keeps on giving: a rear view. Plus, he's looking real great of late. His face looks like a model's. I can believe he's pulling a genuine one over everyone. He has somehow convinced people that he's worthy of a second look.
I want some good beach time in Fire Island this year. I haven't been there in many years, and I don't really have friends who have shares. So I thought I'd just rent a hotel or bed and breakfast. Any suggestions? Is the Grove Hotel really nasty, as I've heard? Thanks for the help!

Betty White once said of playing Sue Ann Nivens, "Of course, I loved Sue Ann. She was so rotten. You can’t get much more rotten than the neighborhood nymphomaniac." It is true that most of the more promiscuous women I've known in my life have been hard types: cynical, competitive, and sometimes downright mean (particularly toward other women). Is the same thing true for gay men?
There are rumors that Putin's presidential plane flew a similar route to that of the Malaysian airliner within 37 minutes of one another.

ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 07/21 **#11** This actor used to be a comedian. He is B list now. He has been on a hit network show for what seems like forever. The past year or so though his life has gone downhill really quickly. Over the weekend our actor was at a hospital in NYC with a high risk wristband. There he was in clothes that were ripped and worn. He was looking as if he had not showered in weeks. He asked a passerby for help using a pay phone and couldn't figure it out and told the person he was having mental episodes and suicidal thoughts which is why he had the wristband. He said that he wanted to go home and to leave the hospital. He had no one with him, but was very kind to the person who helped him with the payphone. It was just a very sad sight to see for a guy whose character has meant so much for so long. Richard Belzer "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"

If she had not been into penised persyns, she would have been a Mitchfest Goddess. RIP. Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart, who has “embarked upon her silver ship to the Summerlands” aged 65, was a self-styled witch and High Priestess of the Church of All Worlds credited with coining the term “polyamory”, the practice of having a romantic relationship with more than one person, which has now entered the Oxford English Dictionary. With her husband, Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, she dedicated her life to studying the “Dark Arts”, helping him to run the world’s only registered wizard academy, the Grey School of Wizardry, in Sonoma County, California, where novices, split into four houses — Winds, Undines, Gnomes and Salamander — can learn such skills as alchemy, horse whispering, wand-making, spell-casting and advanced “mathemagics”. The pair first met in 1973 at a Gnostic Aquarian Festival in Minneapolis, where Oberon (then plain Tim Zell) was a keynote speaker on “Theagenesis”. They were married the following year in a pagan “handfasting” ceremony performed by Archdruid Isaac Bonewits and High Priestess Carolyn Clark. Shortly afterwards they won first prize in the “most primal” category at a fancy dress competition held at a Sci-Fi festival in Washington, DC. They lived first in St Louis, where Morning Glory studied Wicca, eclectic shamanism and Goddess history, and helped to produce and edit the neopagan magazine Green Egg. She was ordained a priestess in the Church of All Worlds, which her husband had founded in 1962. The Zells (they added “Ravenheart” later on) spent much of their early life together on the move, travelling around in a converted school bus which they named “The Scarlet Succubus”, before moving to a hippie commune in Northern California. They lived there for eight years, among other things raising “unicorns” by carrying out minor surgery on the horn buds of goats — a procedure which they attempted to patent. (more at link)

I heard the Mormons own Ancestry.com - that they're facinated by knowing, and cataloging info on every person they can. I want to join, but don't want to give any $ to such an anti-gay company, or organization. Anyone know the true story?
He seems to be quite forgotten, and doesn't get any credit for being one of the first gay American actors to come out - and as a former Disney star, no less. The fact that his sexuality was arguably one of the reasons why he was fired would only add to his potential gay icon status. Yet while, say, George Takei (who came out very late in life) is ubiquitious, Kirk has an extremely low profile. Do you think it's because his sexual history is too controversial, so today's PC gays would rather pretend he doesn't exist (or is it just a matter of personality)?
Delicious!
Looking at some of his movies, both animated and live-action makes me think so. There's no shortage of beefcake and gay-coded moments, and heterosexuality is depicted in the most chaste manner possible. Hell, "Someday My Prince Will Come" is a gay man's fantasy in song.

President Barack Obama says he supports statehood for the nation's capital. Obama was asked Monday about the prospect of the District of Columbia becoming the 51st state during a town hall at a city school. The president said, "I'm for it," adding that he has been "for quite some time." Obama added that: "The politics of it end up being difficult to get through Congress, but I think it's absolutely the right thing to do." Obama has previously spoken in favor of giving the District voting representation in Congress, and the White House has consistently supported giving the local government full control of the city's budget and laws. Following his re-election in 2012, Obama added District license plates with the phrase "Taxation Without Representation" to his official vehicles.

"Sometimes, all you can do is rely on your faith in God to guide you. That's what Roeland Park City Council member Marek Gliniecki did last night, when the long-debated ordinance to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the group of classes protected by the Kansas municipality's anti-discrimination law at last saw a council vote. From the Prairie Village Post: In an emotional statement, Gliniecki quoted into the record excerpts from a church document related to legislative proposals on the “non-discrimination of homosexual persons.” That document read in part that “the intrinsic dignity of each person must always be respected in word, in action and in law.” So he voted to respect the intrinsic dignity of gay persons, right? WRONG. It turns out that Gliniecki's Catholic sky god actually wanted him to oppose the ordinance that would respect the intrinsic dignity of gay persons. There were other council members who felt the same way: Mel Croston, Michael Rhodes and Sheri McNeil. Another council member, Becky Fast, did not turn up to cast a vote. In Roeland Park, there are eight council members. Mayor Joel Marquardt votes in the event of a tie. But since Fast didn't show, the four votes were all that the opposition needed to beat the ordinance-supporting votes, cast by Jennifer Gunby, Megan England and Teresa Kelly. Ordinance defeated, 4-3. At its core, the ordinance was asking a simple question of the council: Do you believe that the LGBT community deserves the same rights as everybody else in this country? If so, vote for the ordinance. If not, vote against it. But it turned out to not be so simple. The council spent four months giving air time to religious people concerned that its passage would violate their First Amendment rights, despite the fact that the voted-on version included an exemption for religious organizations. In the end, the vague concerns of religious bigots were deemed more important than protecting an entire class of people from discrimination. Ironically, the vote fell on the same day that President Obama signed into law an executive order protecting all federal employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity — an order that does not include exemptions for religious entities. "We're on the right side of history," Obama said. " The contact information links for the ones who voted against this ore in the original story linked here. Tell them what you think.

The episode is called "Perky's Visit". Just re-watched it on Logo TV. Julia and Suzanne's mother visits for Thanksgiving and Anthony is suspected of murder (subsequently exonerated; the gay partner did it instead. Ugh). How must Meschach Taylor have felt to act in that episode? I guess Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had good intentions, but it just comes off as "let's all blame the ex-con n***er for the murder since who else could have done it?". Ugh, just ugh. Just really offensive. I'm just queasy now.

“Maleficent” will cross $600 million at the global box office Wednesday, becoming the fourth film of the year to hit that mark. The Walt Disney Studios release is now in its fifth week of release, and has made $205 million domestically and $400 million internationally, making it the biggest live-action hit of Angelina Jolie’s career. Other films that have crossed the $600 million barrier in 2014 include “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “The Amazing Spider-Man 2″ and “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” “Maleficent” is the 20th Disney film to pass $600 million globally. The re-imagining of “Sleeping Beauty” is out in most major foreign markets, including China where it has grossed roughly $40 million. It opens this weekend in Japan, which marks its final international engagement.
Article from Salon today. The most interesting statement in the article is this one: "If there is fire to be found in this great cloud of gay smoke, it would be remarkable. The guy’s been A-list famous since 1983, and there has been no public evidence at all, none, to support the rumors." I've been saying this for years on the DL, to much disdain from fellow DLers. In my view, it is just not plausible that a mega-watt star like TC could be so famous for so long, engage in gay-sex seeking activities, and yet not a shred of evidence can confirm it (or even hint at it). Moreover, the rumor that he is gay seems to exist in a vacuum. It comes out of thin air from people who have just decided he must be gay (and that it's just so obvious), rather than from specific instances of TC being caught or observed in gay-sex seeking behaviors. TC is weird enough on his own from what we are able to observe publicly. Why we need to invent a closet for him to live in is beyond me.

Here is the rule of the Internet: If you combine two bizarre, viral things, you are going to get something even more bizarre and viral. In this case, it's hipster beards and flower crowns. Although hipster beards may have peaked and flower crowns may have withered away during the polar vortex, the two trends have come together to unleash an unstoppable new style for meme hairy hipster dudes everywhere: flower beards. That's right: Bearded men across the country are taking advantage of the good weather to pick some flowers to adorn their faces. The combined effect is, shall we say, peak hipster.

Not necessarily the most fabulous, or the best-designed, but iconic - pretty much instantly recognizable by anyone as being associated with the film and with a particular cultural moment. In fact, you just describe it and people know what you're talking about (but pictures are appreciated).

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

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

I picked up Margo Howard's 1980s biography of her mother, Ann Landers (Eppie Lederer), at a library sale. Some fun stuff in there: - Margo writes that her aunt Popo (who became the competing advice columnist Dear Abby) was oddly competitive with Margo when she was a child. Apparently Popo didn't like to be displaced in Eppie's attentions. - The famous Ann/Abby feud began after Eppie had been doing the Ann Landers column for several months and it became a hit in newspaper syndication. Popo went to the San Francisco Chronicle and offered herself as an Ann Landers substitute, and soon SHE was syndicated (most U.S. cities had two papers then, so she became a formidable competitor to Ann Landers). They didn't speak for years. - When Ann was scheduled to do a TV panel on "Deep Throat," she knew she was against it but didn't know what the title meant or what the movie was about. Margo had to explain it to her mother. - Several women had written the "Ann Landers" column and the paper didn't want to attach any one person to it publicly, but Eppie fought that, appearing on "What's My Line?" as Ann Landers. Becoming the brand in public made her very rich -- and indispensible; the paper couldn't fire her and hire another "Ann." - Both Ann and Abby's daughters grew up to get in the advice business. Margo wrote as "Dear Prudence" and later "Dear Margo," while Abby's daughter Jeanne started co-writing the Dear Abby column very early and eventually took it over completely. While Ann and Abby eventually reconciled, the cousins do not sound close. It's not super-gossipy, but it's light and funny.

There will be a lot less Glee for Chris Colfer/Kurt fans as the Fox series enters its final season, with the original cast member’s sudden announcement that he will not be continuing with the show. “Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of GLEE,” Colfer tweeted on Thursday. “Explanations will come shortly…” Colfer had been with the show since its trumpeted May 2009 debut, and during his run has collected a Golden Globe award and a pair of Emmy nominations for his portrayal of Kurt Hummel. More to come….

I subscribed to this magazine about a year ago because I'd always heard it was the world's best general interest magazine -- but the never bothered to read any of the issues. As close to 30, then 40, then 50 issues piled up next to my living room couch, I started feeling guilty and terrible. Then I finally found the article -- online, natch -- that hooked me: A summary account of LBJ's ascension to the presidency following JFK's assassination. A much more fascinating story than you would expect, and a genuinely thrilling read. Now I'm grateful for all these back issues. I've been going through them and earmarking potentially interesting stories. On Sunday I will wake up and stay in bed until 2PM reading as much of them as I can before I am forced to get up. Hopefully it will rain that day, wouldn't that be perfect? Anyone have any great New Yorker articles they can recommend? I have access to their online archives.

For some agents, Snowden says, the racy images were one of the "fringe benefits of surveillance positions" Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency contractor turned whistle-blower, claims that “incredibly weak” oversight of U.S. surveillance programs enabled military personnel to obtain sexually explicit photos of people under surveillance and to sometimes share them with others. In an interview with the Guardian, Snowden talked about the impact of poor auditing systems within the NSA. He claimed many people sifting through monitored communications were 18 to 22 years old and suddenly put in a position of extraordinary responsibility that was sometimes abused. “In the course of their daily work they stumble across something that is completely unrelated to their work, for example an intimate nude photo of someone in a sexually compromising situation but they’re extremely attractive,” said Snowden. “So what do they do? They turn around in their chair and they show a co-worker. And their co-worker says: ‘Oh, hey, that’s great. Send that to Bill down the way,’” he said. Snowden, who lives in Moscow after being granted temporary asylum last year, added that this information is never reported and nobody knows about it because of inadequate oversight. He said the interception of intimate images was “routine enough” and described it as “sort of the fringe benefits of surveillance positions.” He added, “The mere seizure of that communication by itself was an abuse. The fact that your private images, records of your private lives, records of your intimate moments have been taken from your private communication stream, from the intended recipient, and given to the government without any specific authorization, without any specific need, is itself a violation of your rights.” NSA spokeswoman Vaneé Vines gave a comment to the New York Times on the allegations. The Times paraphrased her as saying that “the agency had zero tolerance for willful violations of authority or professional standards, and that it would respond as appropriate to any credible allegations of misconduct.”

"America is full of tales waiting to be told. There are beautiful stories hiding in small towns and big cities, on suburban streets and rural roads. Great wisdom lives in the well-worked hands of aging craftspeople and in the eager words of young artisans. Our very history is whispered into the materials they use to make exquisite goods according to timeless standards of quality and care. That is the tradition we aim to preserve. How wonderful it is to discover something that has been cast aside, to pick it up and restore it to its original beauty. Maybe it’s sentimental of us, but we hold fast to memories and moments, to relics from bygone eras. Our goal is to support the America we’ve always known, and the one we haven’t yet met. We hope to achieve this in small but meaningful ways, through the stories we tell, the treasures we share and our genuine desire to give back to those with fewer opportunities but just as much heart and soul as anyone else. We believe that nurturing a better tomorrow upholds the yesterday we cherish, for all of us. [bold]Sometimes we walk proudly. Other times we stumble gracelessly. Yet we take each step with a generous measure of never-ending curiosity and wonder. We remain in awe of the folks and folkways existing around us. We want to learn about them, embrace them… preserve them.[/bold] PRESERVE is all of us, together, championing the goods, makers and legends that instill meaning inside the moments of our lives. The curios that cozy our homes, the threads that define our silhouettes, the foods that leave our bellies happy, the projects that mean everything to us—we want to share all of this with you; we know we have so much to learn from you.

It's a vile, nasty slur. Just because a particular genre of lesbian and effeminate young gays want to use it doesn't mean the entire gay population want to be referred to as "queer". Very few black people walk around calling themselves "n*gger" nor would the media or anybody else pick up on it. In the last week alone I've noticed two straight Facebook people refer to gays and lesbians as "queer", it's like the naughty word they're getting away with saying while hiding behind a p/c acceptance of it. It's NOT empowering. How many gay men and women (and even transgendered people) do you think died or lost eyes and limbs while being called "queer" as they were being attacked or beaten to death? How many of us cringed and began to sweat as we heard our fathers or friends say it when we were growing up, terrified it would be hurled at us, which it eventually was, at least a few times? You're not making yourselves or us 'empowered' and you're not 'taking it back' from anything. You're perpetuating a nasty stereotype. We are not queer/odd/different/bizarre. Please stop allowing people to use this as a label without calling them out on it.

He looked fabulous even up until the 80s and Murphy's Romance because he was such a handsome, handsome man--great jaw, great face, and a great athletic body. But he looked so terrible thereafter. What happened? It's not just aging because some men still look good even beyond sixty (like Michael Caine and Harrison ford). Did he smoke, or was it alcohol, or too much time in the sun?
I love the new Acura Gulliver's Travels commercial. The way Gulliver whines about wanting to go home and then flexes his toes is so sexy. The Acura Chariot literally made him curl his toes. The giant dirty flip flop at the end is awesome too. They're going to turn this into a series of commercials. They already made a sequel. Let's hope Gulliver and his flip flops become the new Flo.

Please indulge me in this pointless bitchery but it's something I thought of over the weekend. We were in New England at a big farmer's market. The quiet hum of the crowd, the birds chirping... it was really nice except, for the two guitar players. One was the cliche' white guy playing "blues" with the stereotypical growling voice and wincing face.. The other was just your garden variety guitar guy doing his own version of a Dave Matthews song. The music and the players themselves are just fine and sometimes can be lovely, but what is it about a lot of these folks who just assume everyone wants to hear their picking and screeching at everything, as if it's a real treat for 100% of the people, 100% of the time? It would be awesome sometime to just enjoy the sounds around you, especially when you're outside. There's a lot to be said for taking in the organic sites and sounds of people and their activity and the humming of a market crowd or a park and such. But it seems like at every outdoor venue, increasingly there are more and more guitar players, sometimes only a few yard apart. It's great if you want to entertain the crowd but it isn't always about YOU being on stage someplace or collecting money from people because you happen to be playing a favorite song. Is this unreasonable? Should there sometimes be public spaces where musical performances (as well as loud radios, violin players et all.) be encouraged not to take place?
You guys don''t know what you''re missing. My cooter got punished last night. It''s almost 10 and it feels like his cock is still pounding my hole.

According to Popnography, Robert Downey Jr. tells Rolling Stone magazine that his rumored bisexuality was something he manufactured: "A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual. That's OK. Being relaxed about sexuality is something you're born with...[My bisexuality] was manufactured. I didn't have an identity. I was playing around. I expressed it. I grew up in the Rocky Horror Picture Show world, where even my butch friends turned out to be androgynous on Saturday nights."

Elizabeth Warren gives speech on the 11 Commandments of Progressivism
Mayor Rob Ford is more popular with black Torontonians than the first black president is with black Americans, Councillor Doug Ford said with sincerity on Monday. “I understand — just had a call saying the black community will not be supporting Rob Ford. That is the furthest from the truth. He’s going to have more votes in the black community than President Obama,” Doug Ford said in a call to Newstalk 1010’s Humble and Fred show. “You know that, everyone else knows that.” Nobody else actually knows that. Exit polls suggest Obama got 95 per cent of black votes in the 2008 election, 93 per cent in 2012 — more than 15 million people each time. A total of 383,501 people of all races voted for Rob Ford in 2010. If only 1) Rob Ford was American 2) He instead of Romney ran against Obama he could have beaten Obama for the Presidency!
While you can thankfully find real gay characters on television, trying to find them in the movies is still basically impossible. Of the 102 releases from the big studios in 2013, only 7(!!) had a gay character who had any tie to the plot. 7 out of 102 movies released.

Danny Aiello had never heard of Madonna before he was asked to play her father in the songstress's "Papa Don't Preach" video. So why did he do it? He was persuaded to be part of the mid-80s project by his daughter, who now can't stand the diva. "You know, that came about in a very strange way," Danny explains. "I had no idea who [Madonna] was, so I said to [daughter] Stacey in passing, 'They want me to do this music video with this girl named Madonna.'She said, 'Dad, Dad, you have to.' I went back and said I'll do it if my daughter is permitted on the set taking pictures with Madonna. ... Madonna sort of backed up and told her representative that I don't do that. My daughter has hated her ever since. ... I'm a movie actor doing this piece of crap!" Now Danny is making music himself -- jazz, but not of the traditional variety. He says he's an actor who interprets lyrics rather than calling himself a singer. "[My album] was dedicated to my son. Unfortunately, I lost [him] a year ago in May. He was a very special young man," Danny tells me. "It was pancreatic cancer. I have elected to do PSAs [public service announcements], and they have been so sensational. ... It's just devastating." To catch my entire interview, check out "Naughty But With Rob" on HDNet Thursdays at 8 p.m.

If you ever happen to come across a Republican on television these days, chances are that you will hear the name Ronald Reagan. Recent Republican debates are the perfect example of the love fest that the current Republican party has for Reagan as each candidate name drops the former president at every turn. If you only listened to conservatives you would think that Jesus Christ was the only person above Reagan on the totem pole of conservative love. They talk about his love of low taxes, less government and conservative family values. The problem is that when you step out of the conservative dream and come back to reality, you find that not only was Ronald Reagan a bad president, but he was one of the worst presidents we've seen in modern times. Reagan's policies have destroyed the United States for three decades, and for the eight years he was in office, here are eight reasons why Ronald Reagan was the worst president of our lifetime. 1. Reagan cut taxes for the Rich, increased taxes on the Middle Class - Ronald Reagan is loved by conservatives and was loved by big business throughout his presidency and there's a reason for it. When Reagan came into office in January of 1981, the top tax rate was 70%, but when he left office in 1989 the top tax rate was down to only 28%. As Reagan gave the breaks to all his rich friends, there was a lack of revenue coming into the federal government. In order to bring money back into the government, Reagan was forced to raise taxes eleven times throughout his time in office. One example was when he signed into law the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Reagan raised taxes seven of the eight years he was in office and the tax increases were felt hardest by the lower and middle class. 2. Tripling the National Debt - As Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, the government was left with less money to spend. When Reagan came into office the national debt was $900 billion, by the time he left the national debt had tripled to $2.8 trillion. 3. Iran/Contra - In 1986, a group of Americans were being held hostage by a terrorist group with ties to Iran. In an attempt to free the hostages, Ronald Reagan secretly sold arms and money to Iran. Much of the money that was received from the trade went to fund the Nicaragua Contra rebels who were in a war with the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. When the scandal broke in the Untied States it became the biggest story in the country, Reagan tried to down play what happened, but never fully recovered. 4. Reagan funded Terrorists - The attacks on 9/11 by al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden brought new attention to international terrorism. All of a sudden, Americans coast to coast wore their American flag pins, ate their freedom fries and couldn't wait to go to war with anyone who looked like a Muslim. What Americans didn't realize was that the same group that attacked the United States on 9/11 was funded by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. Prepping for a possible war with the Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan spent billions of dollars funding the Islamist mujahidin Freedom Fighters in Afghanistan. With billions of American dollars, weapons and training coming their way, the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden took everything they were given and gave it back to the United States over a decade later in the worst possible way imaginable. 5. Unemployment issues - When Ronald Reagan came into office 1981, unemployment was at 7.5%. After Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, he began raising taxes on the middle and lower class. Corporations started to ship more jobs out of the United States while hiring cheap foreign labor in order to make a bigger profit. While corporations made billions, Americans across the country lost their jobs. As 1982 came to a close, unemployment was nearly 11%. Unemployment began to drop as the years went on, but the jobs that were created were low paying and barely helped people make ends meet. The middle and lower class had their wages nearly frozen as the top earners saw dramatic increases in salary. 6. Ignoring AIDS - By the time the 1980s came around, AIDS had become one of the most frightening things to happen to the country in recent memory. No one understood what AIDS and HIV really was and when people don't understand something, they become scared of it. The fear of the unknown was sweeping across the country and Americans needed a leader to speak out about this horrible virus, that leader never came. Instead of grabbing the bull by the horns and taking charge, Reagan kept quiet. Reagan couldn't say the words AIDS or HIV until seven years into his presidency, a leader not so much. 7. Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million Undocumented Immigrants - In today's GOP, the idea of any immigrant staying in the United States whether they are legal or illegal isn't something that conservatives embrace. What might shock them is that in 1982 Ronald Reagan gave nearly 3 million undocumented workers amnesty. The biggest reason for undocumented workers coming to the United States is because corporations hire them at a cheaper rate than they would an American citizen. All the laws that would have cracked down on companies who hire undocumented workers were, of course, removed from the bill. 8. His attack on Unions and the Middle Class - The Republican war on unions and the middle class has been heating up in states like Wisconsin and Ohio, but it has been going on for a long time. Unions are formed to give a united voice to the workers in an attempt to create fairness between the corporations and their employees. On August 3rd, 1981, PATCO (Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization) went on strike in an effort to get better pay and safer working conditions. Two days later, taking the side of business, Ronald Reagan fired 11,345 workers for not returning to work.

This comes from his blog: "As an Escort, I have been hired by 10 Movie stars(A list ones), 6 well known Movie stars(D list ones), 15 TV stars(from shows, E.R., The Pretender, Heroes, Lost, Wings, 24, Weeds, bah bah bah)4 Reality TV stars, 3 Pro Basketball players, 2 Football players, 3 Baseball players, 5 Musicians(2 were Grammy winners, 1 won American Music Award) 100's of Husbands cheating on Wives, Doctors, Lawyers, Policemen, the list goes on and on...." Anyone care to guess?
Believe it or not, people with this affliction, at their very core, are the inverse of the narcissist. People with BPD start out 'too sensitive', too empathetic. People with borderline personality disorder empathize to the point of pain. When the highly sensitive person grows up in a very non-validating and/or abusive environment, with a history of trauma, BPD can manifest. In order for borderline personality to develop, an invalidating environment with and a highly sensitive person MUST BE present. What is going on in a Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer's mind and how they are acting can be two entirely different things. To the sufferer, BPD is about deep feelings, feelings often too difficult to express, feelings that are something along the lines of this : If others really get to know me, they will find me rejectable and will not be able to love me; and they will leave me; I need to have complete control of my feelings otherwise things go completely wrong; I have to adapt my needs to other people's wishes, otherwise they will leave me or attack me; I am an evil person and I need to be punished for it; Other people are evil and abuse you; If someone fails to keep a promise, that person can no longer be trusted; If I trust someone, I run a great risk of getting hurt or disappointed; If you comply with someone's request, you run the risk of losing yourself; If you refuse someone's request, you run the risk of losing that person; I will always be alone; I can't manage by myself, I need someone I can fall back on; There is no one who really cares about me, who will be available to help me, and whom I can fall back on; I don't really know what I want; I will never get what I want; I'm powerless and vulnerable and I can't protect myself;. I have no control of myself; I can't discipline myself; My feelings and opinions are unfounded; Other people are not willing or helpful. To the family members, BPD behavior is often very frustrating can feel unfair and punitive - something like this: You have been viewed as overly good and then overly bad; You have been the focus of unprovoked anger or hurtful actions, alternating with periods when the family member acts perfectly normal and very loving; Things that you have said or done have been twisted and used against you; You are accused of things you never did or said? You often find yourself defending and justifying your intentions; You find yourself concealing what you think or feel because you are not heard; You feel manipulated, controlled, and sometimes lied to.

Bonnie Franklin died a year ago as of last Saturday, and as we remember her and her indelible sitcom character, Ann Romano, from "One Day at a Time," we should reflect on the many challenges that faced her. What was the greatest?
On Monday, during a luncheon for East Coast voters, Liza Minnelli made an unexpected, rousing endorsement of the film. "I have nothing to do with this film except that I am a fan of how it was done, of the insight and the way they played these characters. And the fact that you were watching something that wasn't necessarily comfortable but you could not stop watching. It drew you in, whether you wanted it to or not, and that's magic. That's magic. I mean, the last one [that did that for me] was On the Waterfront! You, crazy Matthew, losing all of that weight -- it's one thing to lose all of that weight and to look like that -- that's harrowing enough -- but then to run like you did, with a body like that? And Jared, I mean, everything that you did -- all of the placements, every single second -- I felt wonderful for you, proud of you and sorry for you all at the same time, which I think one only feels for your friends. And Jennifer [Garner] was great -- she was just f---ing great! I don't know what else to say. I haven't seen a movie like that in so long, and I'm so proud to be able to tell everybody." The Hollywood Reporter reports that the remarks came before lunch was served, and she ended with an offer of her own for the film's star, Matthew McConaughey: "And honey, if you don't win the Academy Award, I'm giving you mine!"

For years he was the meanest film and (especially) theater critic in New York, obsessing in his reviews about how physically unattractive actors were (especially Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand, and Wallace Shawn). It was incredibly amusing to read this unrestrained bitchiness, but it did seem very unprofessional.\ \ Why did New York magazine let him get away with being so nasty?
Get it, girl!
Has anyone else noticed this lately? I'm a bit of a commercial hound and love critiquing and studying advertisements and this trend makes me curious. In so many television ads, from cable companies to drug makers to appliance manufacturers: the home is often a gauzy white, with random light blue accents. The very white 'modern' by unoffending kitchen with a blue vase in the distance, a matching napkin folded on a table... or a living room, same white, with blue furniture, light blue walls, all of it slightly out of focus. Are these colors supposed to be appealing to the eye or are we somehow supposed to block them out while our attention is more focused on actor?
My total is, of course, approximate. But I don't think it's very far off.

Have the colors in women's clothing always been this limited? I just finished a convention, and it seemed that every woman was wearing some combination of four colors- aqua, lime green, yellow, and salmon pink. It was like a chorus from a musical comedy circa 1940.
.. and other dissatisfied fans. Haha, after being burned by all the queer baiting in Supernatural I'm enjoying this: [bold]The CW's attempt to engage 'Supernatural' fans on Twitter backfired[/bold] It might be summer, but the CW, the network responsible for some of the biggest fandoms around, including Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries, isn't taking a break. In fact, this week on Twitter, CW executives, or at least the people who run their social media accounts, have been getting thoroughly schooled in the ways of fandom and social media—and the dangers of inviting fans to talk back. On Tuesday, the network launched a series of Twitter hashtags for various shows, inviting fans to submit questions to be answered by the casts and crews at San Diego Comic Con. After a deluge of responses, the network eventually deleted all but two of the open requests: #AskTheFlash and #AskArrow. Among the hashtags whose official announcements were deleted are #AskTVD, #AskTheOriginals, and #AskSupernatural. Particularly in the case of Supernatural, the CW's ploy backfired; thousands of fans who were angry and upset with the network deluged the #AskSupernatural hashtag for days with snark, challenges, and critical questions, which seemed to far outnumber more innocent questions about the show's narrative. So many fans joined in that #AskSupernatural trended worldwide on Tuesday and then again on Wednesday, and shows no sign of stopping today. Numerous fans compared it to the equally ill-fated #AskRobinThicke. The vast majority of SPN fans joined in to criticize the show's oft-noted ongoing issues: cyclical plots, problematic tropes, and above all the sustained refusal to give Dean and Castiel, or "Destiel," an explicitly acknowledged romance. ... #AskSupernatural [italic]How do you write two characters in classic romantic tropes and then declare NO HOMO?[/italic] #AskSupernatural [italic]There has been 3 bestiality references in supernatural that I've managed to catch.

CW's #AskSupernatural twitter campaign brought to halt by Destiel fandom
Philip Seymour Hoffman’s last wish was that his kids wouldn’t grow up to be spoiled brats. The Oscar winner, who died of a drug overdose in February at age 46, repeatedly rejected his accountant’s suggestion that he set aside money for his son and two daughters, because he “did not want his children to be considered ‘trust fund’ kids,” court documents reveal. Attorney James Cahill Jr. — appointed by a court to protect the interests of Hoffman’s children, Cooper, 10, Tallulah, 7, and Willa, 5, in his estate proceeding — recently interviewed the actor’s accountant, David Friedman. Friedman “recalled conversations with [Hoffman] in the year before his demise where the topic of a trust was raised for the kids and summarily rejected by him,” Cahill says in the Manhattan Surrogate’s Court filing. Instead, Hoffman wanted his estimated $35 million fortune to go directly to his longtime girlfriend, Mimi O’Donnell, the kids’ mother. Hoffman said he believed she would “take care of the children,” Friedman recalled, according to the filing. “Friedman also advised that he observed Hoffman treating his partner/girlfriend . . . in the same manner as if she were a spouse,” Cahill reported in the July 18 filing. Hoffman told the accountant he “simply did not believe in marriage.” O’Donnell, a costume designer, had “substantial” joint bank accounts with Hoffman, whom she met in 1999 working on a play at the Off-Broadway Labyrinth Theater Company. “The size and nature of the jointly held assets support the position that [Hoffman] regarded [O’Donnell] as the natural object of his bounty,” Cahill says in court papers. O’Donnell had reportedly kicked Hoffman out of their $4.2 million Jane Street apartment before he died because of his drug addiction. But Cahill said that because there is nothing suspicious about the actor’s will, it should be approved by the court. Hoffman’s other concern was where his kids would be raised. He included in his will an unusual request that his son grow up in one of three cultural hubs. “It is my strong desire [that] my son, Cooper Hoffman, be raised and reside in or near the borough of Manhattan [or] Chicago, Illinois, or San Francisco, California,” he said in the will. It was written in 2004 before the births of his two daughters. “The purpose of this request is so that my son will be exposed to the culture, arts and architecture that such cities offer,” the Broadway and Hollywood star wrote. Hoffman’s latest film, “A Most Wanted Man,” opened in theaters on July 18.

From his pearl-clutching review of the new Harper Lee bio: "'The Mockingbird Next Door' conjured mostly sad images in my mind. Ms. Lee has a regular booth at McDonald's, where she goes for coffee. She eats takeout salads from Burger King on movie night. When she fishes, she uses wieners for bait. She feeds the town ducks daily, with seed corn from a plastic Cool Whip Free container, calling 'Woo-hoo-HOO! Woo-hoo-HOO!' Somehow learning all this is worse than it would be to learn that she steals money from a local orphanage."

A friend of mine just got back from the Lake Como region, where she said her Italian friends all swear up and down that not only does everyone in the area know that George Clooney is gay (despite the engagement), but that he's had an affair for years with some sort of male psychiatrist or psychologist who practices in Florence. Have any of you heard about this before?

[quote]Vulture: Did you ever get a chance to talk to or bond with Luke Grimes when he was playing James, before they switched off? Ellis: I didn’t, but I’m completely… I mean, I can say I’m not going to make a comment, but I just think that, you’re an actor, you’re an actor on a show that’s True Blood, we’re all sitting there going, “You quit your job because … really?” I’m just… I’m over him. You quit your job because you don’t want to play a gay part? As if it’s… You know what? I’m going to stop talking. [quote]Vulture: That’s okay. I get what you’re saying. If you’re going to be on True Blood, you have to be open to a lot of experiences. Ellis: You have to be open. But more importantly, you make a statement when you do something like that. I did a documentary called Damn Wonderful, about gay suicide, and you make a statement, a big statement, when you go, “I don’t want to play this part because it’s gay.” If you have a child, if you have a son, and he comes out as gay, what are you going to do? If you have a daughter who comes out gay…? You just made a statement, and it has ripple effects. First of all, this show, it’s True Blood, and shit, we get scared when we read scripts! Excuse my language. When scripts come, we’re like, “What are they going to have us do this week?” But when you make a statement that is a judgment… I was kind of like, “Have you met Alan Ball?” I’m supposed to do what my boss tells me to do, as an actor. I can’t approach a character with judgment. I certainly can’t tell my boss, “I can act what I want to act, but not what you tell me to act,” especially on a show where you come in, knowing what it is. I was like, “Okay… I guess?” I just thought that, having just done the documentary, I didn’t like what he did because he made a statement, and sometimes you have to take responsibility. [quote]Vulture: Is it safe to say he won’t be invited back for the True Blood musical? Ellis: [Laughs.] I don’t think he’ll be invited back to HBO.

Fabulous show! Just saw them in Los Angeles. Adam Lambert is perfect as a stand-in for Freddie Mercury. He twirled, strutted and preened like Cher imitating Liza Minnelli. He worked the runway like Naomi Campbell circa 1995. And he sang/screamed the sh*t out of those songs. Queen performed all of their best-known songs. There were even very nice Freddie Mercury visuals throughout the show, including Adam and Freddie duetting part of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Crowd was 60% for Queen and 40% for Adam and everyone left happy. It was the absolute opposite of the train wreck that you vicious DL b*tches predicted.

His handle is Twink69. I've been following him for about a week and it's like a train wreck...I can't stop watching. He admits in his bio that he has some physical challenges that limit him from doing some things. He also claims he is 18, but then later says he is 25 or 30 years old. He claims he has been living with a 78 year old man who picked him up online when he was only 10. Not to be mean or anything, but it's apparent after watching awhile that he has challenges other than physical ones. He has a big dick, but half the time he hides it under his low hangers so that it appears he doesn't have one and claims to viewers that he doesn't have a dick. He will stick his dick into his asshole as well to hide it. He also owns a very large dildo that he lays on his stomach to get people to think it's really his. The weird thing is, no one has ever seen his dick hard before. It is always flaccid, no matter what. Viewers get very angry with him for doing this and lying. He is online right now.

There's a debate over it in astrological communities and online sources have switched between the two. I say Aquarius rising since that puts her sun in the 7th house and Saturn in the 10th--thereby explaining her tendency to partner with people to build her image and her obsession with her career. Virgo rising would put her moon in the 1st house, which I just don't see.

The idea that Mitt Romney may run for president again in 2016 is getting closer to becoming a reality as a Vox Populi Poll found that 70% of Republican primary voters are open to voting again for Romney. Republican primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina were asked if they would consider voting for Romney again for their party’s nomination in 2016. Twenty-three percent of South Carolina primary voters would vote for Mitt Romney again, and 51% would consider it. In New Hampshire, 30% would definitely vote for him, and 47% would consider it. In Iowa, 21% would definitely vote for him, and 53% would consider it. The numbers in each state suggest that Romney already has enough support to win two or maybe all three of the first three primary states on the Republican calendar. Romney’s support has stayed fairly consistent with his 2012 performance. In 2012, Romney got 25% of the caucus vote in Iowa. Today, he is at 21% in the state. Romney got 39% of the 2012 GOP primary vote in New Hampshire, and he is at 30% today. In South Carolina, Romney got 28% of the vote in 2012, and he is sitting at 23% today. Romney’s lingering popularity with Republican primary voters suggests that voters aren’t in love with any of their possible options. Scandals have sunk Chris Christie and Scott Walker. Rand Paul remains a Paul, and his foreign policy views are completely out of step with most of the party. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have past support of immigration reform working against them, and the rest of the potential candidates hail from the Ted Cruz kooky wing of the party. A glance through the alternatives makes it easy to understand why Romney remains popular with so many Republican primary voters. It might seem unbelievable, but Mr. 47% could be the least damaged Republican option out there. The big money voices in the GOP have been trying to cut a deal to clear the field and hand Romney the nomination, but they may not even need to do it. A path is forming for Mitt Romney to run for a third time, and win back to back Republican nominations. Romney would lose to Hillary Clinton by an even larger margin than he lost to President Obama, but Republicans in early voting states believe that he is their best option in what could be a historically bad field of candidates. Republican voters are willing to hand the presidency to Hillary Clinton by returning to Mitt Romney as their nominee.
GOP Wants Mitt Back: 70% Of Republican Voters Are Open to Voting For Romney in 2016
The leader of the Mississippi Federation of College Republicans, Evan Alvarez, announced Monday that he was resigning his post — and switching political parties. “I am leaving my position in the [Republican] organization and have begun to speak to members of the Mississippi Democratic Party and will be changing my party affiliation to Democrat in the next few days,” Alvarez told the Clarion-Ledger. (See actual tweets at link!) Alvarez’ departure was apparently motivated in part by the acrimonious primary campaign in which incumbent GOP Sen. Thad Cochran faced off against Tea Party challenger Chris McDaniel. Alvarez campaigned for Cochran, the Daily Caller reported. “As chair of the [College Republican National Committee (CNRC)], some would expect I would be disappointed by today’s news,” CNRC Chairwoman Alex Smith told the Daily Caller. “I am not.” Smith said, “This defection was based on self-interest, not principle,” and added, “Mr. Alvarez will feel increasingly lonely in a party that is hemorrhaging young voters because of President Obama’s and Democrats’ extreme left wing agenda that is crippling our generation.” Alvarez’ Twitter activity reflects dissatisfaction with the GOP. For its part, the Mississippi Federation of College Republicans moved quickly and announced a new leader, Caroline Collins, Monday afternoon.

[quote]Rosie O'Donnell has made her deal with "The View" ... sources connected with the negotiations tell TMZ. We're told the show will make the announcement shortly. TMZ broke the story ... the negotiations fired up a few days ago and the deal was almost completed by end of business day Monday. The deal is now complete. Rosie will join Whoopi Goldberg on the show. As we reported, producers are also looking for a Latina and a conservative. Two conservative candidates who are being scoped are Abby Huntsman and Margaret Hoover.

After learning that her former View colleague might return to the program for its eighteenth season, the Fox & Friends co-host called into her new show to dredge up old drama. Hasselbeck, who is on vacation, brought up her infamous fight with O'Donnell, which led to the comic's premature exit from the show. "What could ruin a vacation more than to hear news like this?" Hasselbeck asked Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. "I know Rosie very well. We worked quite closely. Talk about not securing the border! Here in comes to The View the very woman who spit in the face of our military, spit in the face of her own network, and really in the face of a person who stood by her and had civilized debates for the time that she was there, coming back with a bunch of control ready to regain a seat at the View table." According to Hasselbeck, O'Donnell's possible re-hiring is "not surprising" at all. As the conservative television personality explained to her co-hosts, "I think this has been in the works for a long time." "I'll go back to the reunion show for [Barbara Walters]. How odd is this, when you have the woman, who again, insinuated that our own troops were terrorists in Iraq at the time, then left the show...to have such ease the day of Barbara's goodbye show was shocking to me? She walked around with a lot of control and I had the chance to talk to her," the Survivor alum, 37, said. She continued, "Rosie herself told me, on-set, while we were mic'ed up, that she produced the reunion show to have everybody together and it was her idea. Now, would you think that the woman who left in the way that she did would be producing Barbara's goodbye show? Here's the shocker: It was actually her hello show." Hasselbeck said she will be "very interested" to see how O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg might interact, particularly because Goldberg is an EGOT winner and O'Donnell is not. "I don't think it would be wise for Rosie O'Donnell to challenge Whoopi Goldberg on anything. I really don't," she warned. "And I would also say that after years of being there, Rosie found out one thing about me: Don't mess with a pregnant mama and do not mess with our military when it comes to this girl sitting next to her." "I'll go back to the reunion show for [Barbara Walters]. How odd is this, when you have the woman, who again, insinuated that our own troops were terrorists in Iraq at the time, then left the show...to have such ease the day of Barbara's goodbye show was shocking to me? She walked around with a lot of control and I had the chance to talk to her," the Survivor alum, 37, said. She continued, "Rosie herself told me, on-set, while we were mic'ed up, that she produced the reunion show to have everybody together and it was her idea. Now, would you think that the woman who left in the way that she did would be producing Barbara's goodbye show? Here's the shocker: It was actually her hello show." When O'Donnell made her first appearance on the show in February 2014 since leaving the show seven years earlier, she joked about their feud. Hasselbeck, who played nice with O'Donnell when cameras rolled in May 2014, also dropped another secret about The View's reunion episode. "I do believe that this has been in the works for a long, long time. She wanted to re-do the split-screen and voice it over from our original confrontation right there. I was not up for that," she recalled. "She seemed to have a lot of control for Barbara's farewell show. Again, it is Rosie O'Donnell's hello show, in my opinion." Though she may sound bitter, Hasselbeck is much happier on a different network. "I could not be more thankful to be at Fox & Friends. You all are an outstanding group," she said. "I'm so thankful. Days like this remind me of that. You're all doing a great job. Mark my words, this is just the beginning—again!"

We go a few times per year and just got back from another long weekend. It''s become Palm Springs east. Lots and lots of older gays have moved-in and seem to have taken over.\ \ I don''t have an issue with older guys, I''m no spring chicken myself at 33, but the entire town seems to have taken on a different feel the last couple of years. While many of the crowds this summer were much of the same, much older guys are showing up. Some of them are the old crusty muscle daddies and some are just ancient. Lots of mimosa drinking happening, so many of the year-round townies appear to be mid 40s and up, lots of sneering and bitching about how they''re tired of the "tourists", etc. (we know several locals).\ \ What used to be a vibrant, diverse gay resort town has become God''s waiting room for fugly, sour faced old gays. I''m expecting piano bars specializing in Shirley Temples to dominate Commercial Street by this time next year.
I know we've fought several (all the recent) wars to prop up the US dollar. There are many smaller countries that can be intimidated in to staying with the status quo. But why hasn't Russia started trading in some other currency or a basket of currencies? If I were Putin, that's one of the first things I would have done. And you might say, "well, we could put a lot of economic pressure on them". Well, Putin knows our economy and empire would go down the tubes in no time at all. And more importantly, he knows that TPTB in the US know that all too well.

My boyfriend and I were lying in bed, naked, in a non-sexual way, and talking about how happy we are to be together. Eventually the conversation turned toward our mutual interest in possibly being married to each other some day. As we talked about the details of being committed to each other in such a capacity, we both sprung rock-hard erections. We now call this a "commitment boner". Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Yas, the new season starts next week. I can't wait! Too bad Kelly Price left the show. She brought so much fuckery to season one that her drama will be deeply missed. But we still got Lil' Mo on the show, the breakout star, so it should be a good season.

For years The Talk has been within striking distance of dethroning The View as the number 1 female panel show. After four years of hard work The Talk has finally BEATEN The View According to Nielsen live plus same day ratings, the CBS talker topped “The View” in women 25-54 by +10% (1.1/07 vs. 1.0/07) and by +14% in women 18-49 (0.8/05 vs. 0.7/05) for the week ending Friday, July 11. What can The View do to turn this sinking ship around?
This is the thread where you draw attention to pivots in TV introductory sequences, which for some reason is supposed to make actresses look more attractive (this was especially believed to be so in the 70s and 80s). I will start with the most famous on Datalounge: Susan Sullivan on the intro (beginning in the third season) for "Falcon Crest," at @:56 into the clip. We might classify this as the "Oh, I'm so relieved it's you!" 180-degree pivot.

Anybody else see last night''s 60-Minutes interview with "Marky Mark"? The reporter, Laura WhatsHerName giggled and grin throughout the entire thing while recounting to Wahlberg his multiple car thefts, stealing and robbing back in Boston. Even his local priest had an "aw shucks, he was such a little scamp" attitude while recounting how Wahlberg would smile and wave to him while driving by in stolen cars.\ \ He robbed a guy outside a store in Dorchester, a Boston ''burb and stabbed him with something and took the man''s eye out.\ \ Wonder what ever happened to that man and if the very high-brown ''actor'' and ''producer'' ever compensated him in any way.\ \ I had no idea he was such a violent little homophobe.
In spite of all the problems I'd still love to raise an Anne Hathaway baby. She's a little irritating but I think you could shield the kid from that. Plus the kid could sing and be statuesque!!! is that all that matters?

I''m thinking about doing this. There''s this guy at the gym I''m obsessed with. He seems totally narcissistic and I suspect he would love to have another guy worship him. Has anyone attempted this?
I would guess Whitney or Streisand, but I'm sure DL queens will school me. Is it just range that makes a voice great? Tone? Phrasing? (I know nothing about singing, so I preemptively apologize for my stupidity)
I recently went to my cousin's wedding and met his half-brother's two sons, age 14 and 11 for the first time. The 14-year-old struck me as a typical straight teenage boy, but in comparison, his little brother was very flamboyant in comparison. He was very friendly, crossed his legs, he got very clingy with other male relatives, and boy, could he ever dance at the reception. My gaydar reading was off the chart. They're both nice kids and we got along fine.

Musical of film 'Rocky' knocked down on Broadway Associated Press, By MARK KENNEDY 1 hour ago NEW YORK (AP) — The Broadway musical "Rocky" is hanging up its gloves after being battered at the box office. Producers said Tuesday that the show will play its final performance at the Winter Garden Theatre on Aug. 17, after playing 28 previews and 188 regular performances. Based on the Oscar-winning 1976 film by Sylvester Stallone, the musical features a score by "Ragtime" veterans Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, and a story by Thomas Meehan, who wrote "Hairspray." Alex Timbers directed. The musical stays close to the film, which charted the rise and romance of amateur boxer and debt collector Rocky Balboa, who gets his shot against an undefeated heavyweight champ. Andy Karl starred as the hero. The musical never took off after mixed to poor reviews, despite a spectacular final few minutes when the boxing ring is lowered onto the first few rows. It broke the $1 million-mark only once and lately was making only half its $1,263,688 potential. The show earned four Tony Award nominations but took home no wins. The closing notice comes a day after "Holler If Ya Hear Me," a musical that that uses Tupac Shakur songs, announced it would close on Sunday after finding little love at the box office.

I love this show. The season finale just aired and it brought the usual drama and hysterics. Trina debuted her stage act for the entire family and was a success, amidst her own personal marriage drama. Tamar has decided that she wants kids (maybe), but wants to have "popsicle" babies (have the eggs frozen and have a surrogate carry them at a later date). Towanda offered to carry the child for her, but no more than one.

Mmmm... This looks peculiar. Health survey gives government its first large-scale data on gay, bisexual population Less than 3 percent of the U.S. population identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday in the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’ sexual orientation. The National Health Interview Survey, which is the government’s premier tool for annually assessing Americans’ health and behaviors, found that 1.6 percent of adults self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent consider themselves bisexual. The overwhelming majority of adults, 96.6 percent, labeled themselves as straight in the 2013 survey. An additional 1.1 percent declined to answer, responded “I don’t know the answer” or said they were “something else.” The figures offered a slightly smaller assessment of the size of the gay, lesbian and bisexual population than other surveys, which have pegged the overall proportion at closer to 3.5 or 4 percent. In particular, the estimate for bisexuals was lower than in some other surveys. The inclusion of the sexual-orientation question in an influential survey used to guide government funding and research decisions was viewed as a major victory for the gay community, which has struggled with a dearth of data about its special health needs.

Although it has been around earlier than that, we have known about the existence of AIDS since 1981. Since then, we have come up with new drugs to combat it. But we still don't have a cure, and gay men are still seroconverting. Why? Is it ignorance of tried-and-true prevention methods (don't whine about lack of access when there's more access to HIV/AIDS education materials now than there's ever been) or just the inevitable result of self-destructive tendencies caused by internalized homophobia?

I recall as a child hearing about worms of some kind in pigs. I was told by at least one historian (or was it a grammar school teacher?) that it was thought to be the reason the early Jews didn't eat pork. One historian (I verified this) speculated that Julius Caesar's seizure's were the result of these worms infecting his brain, the final stage of the infection. Are any of you infected by brain worms?

Rooftop yoga man sunbathes in skimpy thong on a handy gable in midtown Manhattan
The investors in Woody Allen’s new musical are sweating bullets — “Bullets Over Broadway.” Just when it looked as if Allen’s new $15 million musical had a pretty clear shot at box-office and Tony-Award glory, the New York Times published Dylan Farrow’s essay accusing Allen of molesting her when she was a kid. Who knows if the charges are true? Allen refuted them in his own essay in the paper. Clearly, the guy has a dark side: In “Manhattan,” he’s 40 and sleeping with a teenage Mariel Hemingway. He gets away with it only because he is, at least on-screen, sexually innocuous. In real life, he was never prosecuted for the crime Dylan says he committed. And while his marriage to Soon-Yi is creepy, it’s not illegal. But the court doesn’t buy tickets to Woody Allen shows. New Yorkers do. And the investors in “Bullets Over Broadway” are fretting that the scandal will damage their show. From what I’ve learned, they should be worried. “Bullets Over Broadway” was selling at a decent clip until Dylan’s accusations became public. Sales have slowed down this week, and the advance now stands at just $4 million. Any hopes that the show would open April 10 with $10 million in the bank have been dashed. “They’ll be lucky if they get to $6 million by opening night,” says a source. All is not lost, however. There are, I’m sure, many New Yorkers who will not buy a ticket to a Woody Allen movie, let alone a Woody Allen musical, on principle. In their eyes, he’s a child-molesting creep, and that’s the end of it. But there are other New Yorkers (and I’m in this camp), who, though we think he’s weird and would cross to the other side of the street if we saw him coming toward us, still go to his movies and watch masterpieces like “Annie Hall” at least once a year. My sense is that most Broadway insiders — that is, Tony voters — fall in the latter category. “I love Woody Allen movies,” says a Tony voter. “Woody Allen himself? Yuck. But I’ll judge the show on its merits. If it’s good, really good, it can win the Tony for Best Musical. If it’s bad, or just so-so, I think voters will look for something else to get behind.” The onus, say several insiders, is on Susan Stroman, who’s directing and choreographing the musical. A Tony winner for “The Producers,” she’s a beloved figure on Broadway. If “Bullets Over Broadway” is good, she’ll reap the rewards and just might pull the show over the finish line for Best Musical. But if her work isn’t top-notch, Tony voters will go for something else, “If/Then,” perhaps, or “After Midnight.” “This is Susan’s show to lose,” says another Tony voter. “If her work’s half as good as it was on ‘The Producers,’ the show has a shot. If it’s not, it’s dead. I don’t think any of us could support a bad or even mediocre show by Woody Allen.” Allen can rule out any chance of winning the Tony for Best Book — and not because he’s an accused child molester. Those who’ve read his script say it’s little more than his screenplay run through his typewriter. “It’s not been reinvented for the stage the way Mel Brooks reinvented ‘The Producers,’ ” says a source. “Bullets Over Broadway” begins previews next month. Given the attention surrounding Allen’s scandalous life, you can be sure the same reporters who covered the first preview of “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark” — that is to say, me and Patrick Healy — will be there. We won’t judge Allen’s private life. But we will judge his show.

I just finished the book "Thing of Beauty" (which I recommend) It's a great look at a different era. It was sad how many people in her life insisted that she couldn't be gay b/c she was so pretty. It also sounded like her narcissistic mom really did a number on her and made her a raging borderline. It sounded like there was some growth. Did any of you know any of these characters? I'm particularly fascinated by Way Bandy and some of the photographers. Also, the book didn't say it, but I get the distinct impression that Patti Hansen was the one who introduced her to heroin.

I was at my brother's pool party yesterday and his son Traylor emerged from the pool in these flimsy white trunks. I say white but they became almost transparent in the sun, revealing he has not yet started shaving down there lol. Anyhoo, he was jumping and running around and everyone just kinda looked away, embarrassed, because his manhood (boyhood?) was flopping and swinging in an oh-so obvious way. The boy is twelve years old, why is he already packing sizemeat bigger than his dad and I? Too many hormones in phood or something?? Then he had to draw more attention by fiddling with it, til his mother snapped at him to stop that. Everyone was relieved when lunch was ready, and his mom said, "That's enough swimming for today or you'll get cramps and drown". He changed into some cargo shorts but when he passed behind me, he gave my shoulders a quick massage- discreetly grinding his crotch on my back- and giggled. I could hardly swallow.

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.
I checked-in on his Twitter feed and every Tweet is him self promoting a book he's writing, the line of shirts he's designing ("Look out Versace!"), photos from his club kid glory days, him posting images with the famous photographer who just shot him... Him speaking at Hofstra University with images in the background asking if he's the one who inspired Lady GaGa's style, etc. etc. etc. I get that he's got to figure out his life, but there's something shameless about it. I wonder if he's reached out or has tried reaching out to the family of the guy he murdered? And the people who are following him and paling around with him seem just as desperate and said, and seemingly convinced it's the late 80s/early 90s all over again. Remixed dance tunes titled "Michael Is Back" and such.... That whole wild club thing doesn't even exist anymore. Isn't he smart enough to realize what a mess he's already become?

But however serious the offence, when someone is born here, he or she is Canadian, for good or ill. Not anymore if Canada has anything to do with it. With more and more terror babies born in Canada, the government will now have to option to STRIP citizenship from Canadian born criminals, and ship them to the country they hold dual citizenship with!

A month ago, I began taking a blue pill each day, called Truvada. It's a combination of two of the three antiretroviral medications that form the cocktail used to treat people with HIV. Last year, the FDA approved the prescription of Truvada for the preventing of HIV in people who are uninfected. The term for this is pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). I'm HIV negative. My choice to begin taking a highly-potent HIV drug wasn't an easy one. And the decision to come out publicly as someone who's on PrEP is not one that I take lightly. But the more I learn about PrEP, the more shocked I'm becoming that gay men are not shouting from the rooftops about this potential game changer in the fight to prevent new HIV infections, which we're losing badly. I'm ready to shout about it. Here's what helped convince me: Dr. Robert Grant of UCSF, the researcher who led the multinational study on PrEP, was quoted at an AIDS conference as saying that “No one in iPrEx [the PrEP study] acquired HIV infection with a drug level that would have been expected with daily dosing.” Was this really possible? Whether they used condoms or not, people who took Truvada, as prescribed, were protected from the virus? Before writing this column, I reached out to Dr. Grant to make sure I understood correctly. While emphasizing that PrEP is still "very new," Dr. Grant confirms that "we have not seen anyone become infected that indicated daily use." He explained that the people in his study were among those at highest risk of becoming positive: gay men whose partners were already positive, and other men who frequently had unprotected sex. Before I go any further, I do realize that I'm committing heresy. I'm certain there are safe-sex advocates in our community who are reading this right now, and whose heads are about to explode. Am I telling people to pop a pill and go have bareback sex? I'm not. I am advocating that we look at both the social and medical science, and begin responding accordingly. And I too am angry. In the past month, eight people I know have told me that they've tested positive for HIV. A couple of them had boyfriends who cheated on them. These friends, who didn't know about PrEP, are now unfortunately among the 50,000 Americans newly infected with HIV each year — one in four of whom is under 24 years old. Whether we want to admit it or not, safe-sex education has been an epic failure. In a recent national survey, the majority of gay men—58%—admitted to not using a condom the last time they had anal sex. Is PrEp better than condoms? Dr. Grant won't go that far, but here's what he did say in a phone conversation: "That actual use of PrEp is more effective than saying you'll use condoms and not using them. And that's often the choice people make." I'm know I'm not a public health expert, but I can't understand why we're not discussing, in a serious way, getting the most at-risk in our community on this medication immediately. With new and preventable HIV infections happening every hour, is the silence about PrEP among the safe-sex establishment not criminal? One more statistic: US News reports that if HIV infections among gay men continue to rise at current rates, more than half of college-aged gay men will have HIV by the age of 50. We desperately need a new approach to battling new infections. To be sure, taking Truvada is not like taking a vitamin. This is serious medication, and unless people take it every day, the protection it offers is greatly reduced. And like all medications, it carries risks and potential side effects—some of which are potentially quite serious. But none of the friends I know who are taking Truvada PrEP have experienced anything abnormal. And here's as another good thing about Truvada PrEP: You can stop taking it! You can use it at times when you're most sexually active, and stop taking it when you're not having sex. If the side effects are a problem for you, you can simply go off of it. But if you are HIV positive, that's simply not an option. As of now, you're on it for life. And if you're positive, you have to take another pill, which often causes diarrhea and other unpleasantness. I know this because I've slipped up before, and went on post-exposure prophylactic treatment, which includes all three medications. There are a few other downsides to the PrEP strategy. If your insurance doesn't cover it, Truvada costs around a thousand dollars per month. But Gilead, the maker of Truvada, is offering assistance (free pills) to qualifying individuals who can't afford it. You also must get an HIV test before starting Truvada, and between any "breaks" in using it. And, yes, you should continue to use condoms even while taking Truvada to avoid getting other STD's. I'm now 41 years old, and have been sexually active for at least 23 years. I've lived through the horrific period when AIDS was untreatable. It's a memory that will never go away. But since this disease is no longer a death sentence, our daily fear of has diminished, and we have become more likely to slip up. That's why the possibility PrEP offers our community is one we need to be talking about. Now.

Stevie's best friend died of leukemia so she wrote "Gypsy" about her. She sings that "her memory is all that is left for you now" and "I still see your bright eyes..," both lines are so sad. There was a slightly different radio edit that also has Stevie singing "I can't find you..." as if her friend is alive somewhere in Stevie's dreams and she knows she's there but can't quite find her. Sad.

'The Talk's' Sara Gilbert engaged to girlfriend Linda Perry By Chris E. Hayner | April 8, 2013 4:46 PM ET On Monday's episode of "The Talk," Sara Gilbert had exciting news to share with her fellow co-hosts. She announced her engagement to musician girlfriend Linda Perry. Gilbert told the audience that the proposal happened "about a week ago," and caught her by surprise. Gilbert says she and Perry were in a park eating, when people with string instruments showed up and began playing "Love Song," by The Cure. She says the couple had decided that particular tune would be "their song," as another favorite between them, John Waite's "Missing You," was about a breakup. As the song played, Perry popped the question. "She goes to her backpack and she pulls out these T-shirts and the first T-shirt says 'will' and then puts on another T-shirt and it says, 'you,' then 'marry,' 'me.' And the last one's a question mark," Gilbert says, "It's the most amazing proposal ever." The surprises didn't end there, as Perry then introduced Waite, and he played their other song, "Missing You." "We had our proposal with our breakup song," Gilbert says, "which is great." Gilbert went on to thank fans of the show for their support of gay marriage, and allowing her to feel comfortable talking about the event. " I wanted you guys to know because I feel like you're a part of our family here." Watch the clip below to see Gilbert talking about the proposal: (Video at link)

Didn't you guys tell me he's gay? He has a live-in girlfriend and a one-year-old baby girl. He's probably C-list these days, which makes it odd that he would have a beard (and not just your run-of-the-mill arranged marriage). So: Is he actually bi? Is he straight, and the gay rumors were untrue? Or is he doing an elaborate dance for the public for no good reason?

Can you please provide me with some tips on how to sing with more emotion? I worked on a few songs and sent them around to friends for feedback. A common complaint I heard was that while the backing music sounded good, my vocals were dull, and I sounded like I was bored. I do feel that sometimes I think too much when I'm singing because I'm trying to hit the right notes but I'm not sure how to stop that and sing with emotion without sounding fake or overdoing it. Any ideas? TIA.
Hey guys, I'm 23 and I'm struggling with how to feel about this situation. I have a friend whom I've known for about a year. We are not romantically involved in any way - I know him through another friend. I've hung out with him at parties, and he's a really nice guy. I find out that a month ago, he got drunk at a party and drove his car on the wrong side of the freeway at 4am, hit a taxi head-on and killed a passenger, and injured two others. He himself had just minor injuries. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I think what he did was completely repulsive and horrendous. That person is dead. But do I support him as a friend? Is what he did unforgivable? How do I support somebody who did something so heinous? Especially when it's at odds with my impressions of him - he is genuinely a nice guy, but he made a terrible decision and has to live with the consequences. Also just fyi, he is extremely successful, he's young around 24, and went to Harvard, Oxford, and was in business school. Have any of you experienced something similar? I feel like I should be supporting him as a friend, but I don't know how when I am so disgusted by what he did. What would you guys do? Thanks in advance.

Thursday, however, his daughter Kerri learned that the body had been removed, according to ABC News. Kerri was not told where her father’s body was taken or who had taken it, a family representative told multiple media outlets. A representative for Gaffney Funeral Home confirmed to BuzzFeed Friday that Kasem’s body was no longer there, but did not say where it had been taken. While no one knows what happened to the body, a family representative pointed to his widow Jean Kasem as a likely culprit behind the disappearance.

The troubled race for the 2022 Winter Olympics is a case in point. High costs and internal political opposition prevented several potential contenders not to bid. Two candidate cities withdrew and two others could still drop out. That leaves four cities in contention for now: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing; Lviv, Ukraine; and Oslo, Norway. Most worrying for the IOC is the uncertain status of the Oslo bid. Polls show 60 percent of Norwegians are opposed.

Democrats out-raise Republicans while cutting debt from $23m to $3m • Democratic National Committee raises almost $9m in June • Republicans ahead $132m to $116m since January Associated Press in Washington; theguardian.com, Sunday 20 July 2014 21.05 BST The Democratic National Committee narrowly out-raised its Republican rival last month and cut its debt to $3m, down from a onetime high of $23m, according to federal financial forms that were due on Sunday. The DNC raised almost $9m in June; the Republican National Committee reported on Sunday that it raised $8.5m. Each central party committee began July with roughly $7.8m in the bank. Republicans have outraised Democrats in 10 of the last 18 months, although the RNC has done so only once since January of this year. Since the election cycle began, in January 2013, the DNC has raised about $116m. The RNC has raised about $132m. Both central committees tend to amass debt toward the end of a hard-fought presidential campaign, and the 2012 contest between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney was no exception. The DNC spent heavily to help Obama win a second term and help motivate Democrats nationwide to support candidates elsewhere on the ballots. It went into debt to do so. The DNC's debt ballooned to a high of almost $23m in March 2013 as donors, who opened their wallets throughout 2012, tired of giving for a politically quiet year. The DNC since has been paying down those costs and working to control its spending ahead of the 2014 midterms. The top vendor owed money from the DNC is the Strategy Group, an Evanston, Illinois, media consulting firm led by veterans of Obama's re-election team. The DNC owes it $431,000. The party owes $304,000 to data giant NGP VAN, which provides voter information to most Democratic campaigns. The party also owes $218,000 to Omaha, Nebraska-based Infogroup, for direct mail consulting.

WW3 here we go! UN demands full inquiry but armed Russian separatists block access to crash site amid confusion over black boxes Pro-Russia separatist groups in eastern Ukraine are hastily covering up all links to the Buk missile battery suspected to have been used to shoot down the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane, according to western-based defence and intelligence specialists. As the UN security council called for a "full, thorough independent international investigation" into the downing of the plane, concern that a cover-up was under way was fuelled by a standoff at part of the crash site between observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and rebel gunmen, which ended with a warning shot being fired. Postings on rebel websites immediately after the crash boasted of having shot down what they claimed was an Antonov Ukrainian military transport plane, but these have since been deleted.

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

Beef is definitely brewing between Bobbi Kristina and Angela Bassett….and it’s all over a biopic. As you know, Angela will be making her directorial debut later this year on the Lifetime-produced Whitney Houston biopic, and actress Yaya DaCosta has already been cast to play the lead role, even though Bobbi Kristina expressed that she wanted to play her mother. During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Angela revealed why Bobbi Kris was the furthest thing from her mind when thinking of who could play Whitney. In short, the girl just isn’t built for the acting thing yet. "I did not think about casting her. And probably for a number of reasons, you know. One being that she’s not an actress. I know she’s acted here and there. I know she’s been on their family’s reality show, but she’s not an actress and acting is a craft. It’s an attempt to illuminate the complexities of human behavior and life. And this is a very fast-paced schedule; we have just 21 days to tell this story. It’s more than just saying lines and turning the light on. You have to drive the story—there’s a technical aspect. No lies told there. Still, Bobbi Kristina felt a way because she hopped on Twitter and accused Angela of being born a man.

Legendary actor James Garner -- star of "The Rockford Files" and "The Notebook" -- has died ... TMZ has learned. Law enforcement sources tell us an ambulance was dispatched to the actor's home in Los Angeles around 8PM Saturday evening ... and he was dead when they arrived on scene. We do not know his cause of death at this time. Garner was one of the first actors to amass success in both television and film ... and he starred in a long list of classic films -- as well as a co-starring role in the '94 big screen version of "Maverick" starring Mel Gibson. Garner was the original Bret Maverick from 1957-1960 ... as well as the same character in a short lived 80s remake.

For instance, when you misuse the word "bottoming," telling your white gay male addressee "I don't care who you are bottoming" when in fact we thirsty faggots don't "bottom someone," we "bottom for someone," we forget to be offended by your crass slut-shaming and objectification of gay black men because we are trying to digest the flabbergasting but increasingly likely notion that you have not in fact talked to a gay man in your life and still felt qualified to pen your essay.

A Manassas City teenager accused of “sexting” a video to his girlfriend is now facing a search warrant in which Manassas City police and Prince William County prosecutors want to take a photo of his erect penis, possibly forcing the teen to become erect by taking him to a hospital and giving him an injection, the teen’s lawyers said. A Prince William County judge allowed the 17-year-old to leave the area without the warrant being served or the pictures being taken — yet. The teen is facing two felony charges, for possession of child pornography and manufacturing child pornography, which could lead not only to incarceration until he’s 21, but inclusion on the state sex offender data base for, possibly, the rest of his life. David Culver of NBC Washington first reported the story and interviewed the teen’s guardian, his aunt, who was shocked at the lengths Prince William authorities were willing to go to make a sexting case in juvenile court. “The prosecutor’s job is to seek justice,” said the teen’s defense lawyer, Jessica Harbeson Foster. “What is just about this? How does this advance the interest of the Commonwealth? This is a 17-year-old who goes to school every day, plays football, has never been in trouble with the law before. Now he’s saddled with two felonies and the implication that he’s a sexual predator. I don’t mind trying the case. My goal is to stop the search warrant. I don’t want him to go through that. Taking him down to the hospital so he can get an erection in front of all those cops, that’s traumatizing.”

We saw it again this past week with the Washington Post's inimitable Dana Milbank writing a column July 4th suggesting that perhaps the Obama presidency might benefit from the Democrats losing their Senate majority. But for Obama, while yes, he would be recorded as he first African-American president, he would also be remembered for having lost a House majority in 2010(his first midterm election) and the Senate majority in 2014(his 2nd midterm).... a fairly inauspicious record with the Affordable Care Act credited as having assisted in the play.

Leave it to Prince Harry to provide the only tantalizingly shirtless glimpses of the Royal Family – but really, what other member would you rather see sans clothing? I think Prince William has passed his expiration date, even if he is destined for the throne. Kings are rarely sexy. Princes on the other hand can be very sexy. Especially when they’re totally starkers. (That means naked.)

Oh, and replace semicolons with periods, even if the result is not grammatically correct. I admit it has been a while since I last sent around a résumé, but I'm in my early thirties, I am educated and reasonably accomplished, and I don't feel compelled to misrepresent my style or education in order to seduce prospective employers.

Out of all the homophobic actors out there--and I’m sure their numbers are legion--Jensen Ackles irritates me the most. I don’t understand the gay men who worship him. He’s undeniably good looking but he can’t open his mouth without making a homophobic comment. What kills me is that gays everywhere take up for him just because of his looks. “Oh, he didn’t mean it that way;” or “Oh, it was just a joke;” or “Oh, you’re taking his comments too literally;” bullshit like that. Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me??? I’m sorry but affecting a lispy high-pitched voice while ineffectually slapping at someone OVER AND OVER AND OVER, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME, IN EVERY POSSIBLE CONTRIVED SITUATION isn’t funny. It isn’t a joke. And, similarly, using the word “gay” or “pansy” as a derogatory adjective in interviews isn’t okay either. Those things are evidence of a belief, people, an attitude toward gays, and I’m sick of guys lusting over him. I’m 46 and own my own architectural firm, and I have 6 architects working for me. Two of them are gay and about 10 years younger than me, and I had listen to them all goddam night go on about this guy. Even on DataLounge his name pops up constantly. It’s like a bunch of freakin’ yeshiva boys jonesin’ to blow motherfuckin’ Hitler. I don’t know what Ackles makes per episode, but word is that he clears 40k to 50k for an appearance at a “Supernatural” convention. So far this year he’s done twelve. On top of that, once he’s there he charges for meet-and-greets and photo ops, and it’s gays who are putting a lot of that money in his pocket. (Unless you’re [i]too[i/] gay. Then there’s no photo because he won’t pose with you.) Gays are also the ones glued to their tv sets each week, boosting his show’s ratings while they queer every gaze between him and his on-screen brother. [i]Idiots.[i/] This guy doesn’t even have the testicular fortitude of Sabrina the Teenage Witch! He won’t just come out and say what he thinks about gays, gay marriage or even politics because he knows it would hurt his career. In fact, his wife will re-Tweet stuff showing mild LGBT support just to muddy the waters and throw people, most likely Hollywood producers, off their GOP scent. However, the latest is that Stone Park Trust, the same trust that owns his Brentwood property--the same trust for which he’s the trustee--has allegedly made past donations to NOM, Prop 8 and Romney’s campaign, so anyone who thinks Ackles isn’t a Republican is nuts. His wife’s Twitter page practically spells it out, along with their very devout “I love me some Jesus” status. “Jensen’s favorite book is the Bible;” “His favorite actor is Jim Caviezel;” “His favorite time of year is Easter.” Blah, blah, blah. Man, I got nothing against anyone’s religion or their personal beliefs about gays and lesbians. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn’t mean that I have to buy their product or watch their show. I’m not going to further any actor’s career so they can fight harder against my rights. And I’m sure not going to give someone like Ackles a starring role in my fantasies. I mean, compare his douchebaggery with the incredibly respectful and classy comments George Clooney made about constantly being called gay. Night and day. Night and day. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE HOMOPHOBIA, PEOPLE. STOP LUSTING OVER ASSHOLES.
If Warren runs against Hillary - who would you vote for?
Tell us your favorite color and why you like it so much. I like green because it sets off my eyes beautifully.

I'm totally rooting for Miss Sudan, but I wouldn't be surprised if Miss Malawi takes it.
