Dear Feminists (this includes libfems, radfems, terfs, fun feminists, the whole fractured lot out there…) This may come as a surprise to many feminists out there but I have to remind them that gay men are men (or males). But from reading everything written by them it obviously appears that they don’t know this. Feminists can bash straight men all they want. I don’t care either way. I’m not a pro-men, MRA type and I don’t or rarely see eye to eye with them. I can’t relate to straight men. They’re not part of my life and I honestly don’t find them interesting in any way, shape or form. So this is where this text is coming from. As I read as these feminists rants and tumblr posts everywhere, feminists only see one type of men: men. In their eyes, men are one big monolithic entity with no complex variety to it. They can never make the distinction between the gay men (or even bi men) and heterosexual men. ‘For women, all men are potential rapists.’ No, gay men don’t rape women. It should therefore read as ‘For women, all heterosexual men are potential rapists.” By not making the distinction between straight men and gay/bi men or gender fluid men, feminists repeatedly erase the existence of gay men since they don’t rape women or are for the most part not part of their problem. This is NOT an oversight. Feminists, seething with anger, apparently see all men alike. Or they don’t see gay men, like society, as masculine or even men. They see them as effeminate, quasi-women. There are enough gay men out there for them to realize that we do exist but apparently it’s not the case. I’m sure everyone will say something like “Of course, gay men don’t rape women. When we say ‘men’ we mean straight men in general.” But gay men are men, in general. This lack of distinction just doesn’t wash anymore, certainly in our pc world right now where everyone is so touchy with labels. It seems gay men don’t count or they fall into a terrible blind-spot feminists don’t care to notice is clearly there. The problem is widespread and there’s an endless number of examples on Tumblr and on the internet but I’ll choose just a few examples to demonstrate my point: “I’m so angry that the sex-pos movement is encouraging women - who already experience internalised misogyny and learned submission - to celebrate sexualised inequality and to embrace their internalisation of female sexual masochism as “empowerment.” It’s so manipulative and scary and disgusting. And men are fucking loving it.” It should actually read : “And **straight** men are fucking loving it.” — “what better proof of patriarchys existence is there than women that claim to be “empowered” by giving men boners.” should read as: “what better proof of patriarchys existence is there than women that claim to be “empowered” by giving **straight** men boners.” —— Instead of using only ‘men’ you can use: straight men str8 men strhate men heterosexual men het men whatever… but don’t just use ‘men’ ‘kay? So, in closing, feminists you can bash straight men with all your heart’s content, I don’t care, but please don’t lump gay men, heck even bi and gender fluid men, into the same simplistic monolithic all-encompassing ‘men’ category in your writings. Please make sure there’s a distinction: i.e. gay men don’t rape women! It makes you all appear clueless, inline with patriarchy’s definition of masculinity, insensitive to the existence of gay men, who, in the end, are men too.
Is anyone here a fan of his brilliant (and homoerotic!) illustrations?
The below example was posted in that thread about Sean Cody's Brandon begging for money. Apparently the Internet has now become a tool for the desperate. What losers! Isn't this just the internet version of the homeless bugging for food and spare change? Only this seems to be mostly white dudes. Do you think this will become a trend? It certainly doesn't seem to work looking at this poor fool! If they're family and friends don't care enough to help them, why should strangers on the internet be expected to give a shit.
I'm getting high, listening to the Eagles and Led Zeppelin. I miss everything about that time. And yes, I was "out" in high school, which led to even the jocks wanting to experiment with me. It was never an issue... good times. Anyone else miss it?
Wacky, quirky, highly entertaining film. Tilda Swinton will get a Best Supporting Actress nomination. Chris Evans should have done a love scene with Ed Harris.
He's STILL around! Apparently they haven't received the message that he's been panned from TV to websites. He looks like your slightly creepy, drunk uncle. How/why are these commercials? Who's the demo they're going for?
Well?!?!?
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.

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.

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

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

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

[bold]Even Emma Stone and Colin Firth can't rescue a feeble, icky 1920s rom-com apparently written by an alien [/bold] Can we all stop making excuses for Woody Allen now?

I don’t know what happened between Allen and Dylan Farrow and neither do you, and we’ve all spent too much time discussing it.

I have just watched the 1984 versison of STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE with Ann-Margret and Treat Williams, which I imagined would be Tennessee-lite, but was very involving and emotional, with great art-direction and that late 1940s look. Is it a quality production of the play, is Ann a creditable Blanche? I have liked Ann in several items lately (like The Two Mrs Grenvilles) and her 1966 The Pleasure Seekers, and she seems to be ticking all the boxes here, even if too shrill at the start but by the second half she is terrific. No one could ever be as good as Vivien Leigh but Ann has a creditable stab, with all those lines we know: about the Tarntula Arms, and "I dont want realism, I want magic", "deliberate cruelty is unforgiveable" and of course "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers" for that great climax. Beverely D'Angelo is good too as Stella. Stanley though is Treat Williams who seems to have bulked up and looks sexy enough. He plays him as an infantile brute. Treat was fun in The Ritz and in Hair, but Brando he ain't. Looking at it again it seems a very cruel work, as Blanche is stripped of everything and Kowalski gets away with raping her, as she is carried off to the looneybin. I noticed it is based on Tennessee's play, so may not be the full actual text, but its well directed by John Erman, with Travilla dressing Ann, Sydney Guilaroff doing her hair, and Marvin Hamlish doing that good score. I'd love to have seen Dunaway and Voight, or Lange and Baldwin. Any other famous Blanches? The only one I saw on the stage was Claire Bloom's in London in 1974.
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?

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?

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

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

This is just a gem. In an intensely awkward congressional hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday, freshman Rep. Curt Clawson misidentified two senior U.S. government officials as representatives of the Indian government. The two officials, Nisha Biswal and Arun Kumar, are Americans who hold senior positions at the State Department and Commerce Department, respectively. Although both Biswal and Kumar were introduced as U.S. officials by the chairman of the Asia and Pacific subcommittee, Clawson repeatedly asked them questions about "your country" and "your government," in reference to the state of India. "I'm familiar with your country; I love your country," the Florida Republican said. "Anything I can do to make the relationship with India better, I'm willing and enthusiastic about doing so." Apparently confused by their Indian surnames and skin color, Clawson also asked if "their" government could loosen restrictions on U.S. capital investments in India. "Just as your capital is welcome here to produce good-paying jobs in the U.S., I'd like our capital to be welcome there," he said. "I ask cooperation and commitment and priority from your government in so doing. Can I have that?" The question prompted a lengthy pause and looks of confusion from State Department and congressional staff attending the hearing. "I think your question is to the Indian government," Biswal said. "We certainly share your sentiment, and we certainly will advocate that on behalf of the U.S." It's extremely uncommon for foreign officials to testify before Congress under oath. Even so, it's unclear if at any point Clawson realized his mistake, despite the existence of a witness list distributed to the various members detailing Biswal and Kumar's positions. Clawson's office did not respond to multiple requests for comment. During the hearing, [bold]he repeatedly touted his deep knowledge of the Indian subcontinent and his favorite Bollywood movies.[/bold] None of his fellow colleagues publicly called him out on the oversight -- perhaps going easy on him because he's the new guy. The Tea Party-backed lawmaker won a special election last month to fill the seat of Trey Radel, who resigned after being convicted for cocaine possession. Clawson pitched himself as an outsider with private sector experience and touted his role as chief executive of an aluminum wheel company. Thursday was Clawson's first day sitting on the subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific. He was named to the full committee July 9. Subcommittee Chairman Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) promoted Clawson's deep international business acumen and knowledge of four languages in welcoming him. "Our newest member of this committee, Curt Clawson ... speaks four languages and all kinds of other great stuff," Chabot boasted. The gaffe comes as members of Congress seek to strengthen U.S. ties to the world's largest democracy following the election of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi this spring. Lawmakers are circulating letters to have Modi address a joint session of Congress. Following Clawson's opening statement, Rep. Eliot Engel, the full panel's ranking Democrat, appeared eager to point out that Biswal and Kumar work for the United States. "Thank you both for your service to our country, it's very much appreciated," New York's Engel said. Update: While Clawson's office did not respond to a request for comment, the congressman apologized in a statement to USA Today later on Friday. "I made a mistake in speaking before being fully briefed and I apologize. I'm a quick study, but in this case I shot an air ball," he said.

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

They are one of the most famous couples on Earth, yet intensely private — rarely allowing a glimpse of anything but the picture of a marriage and partnership that is constantly, blissfully happy. But a source who has been close to Beyoncé and Jay Z for years tells The Post that all is not well — and hasn’t been for quite some time. This is the first peek behind the firewall that is Beyoncé and Jay Z Inc. — what drew them together, why they’re headed for a split and why love was never the thing that held them together. “There’s still something there, even though it’s not going to last,” says the source. “Business is always part of the equation. They know they’re the king and queen of hip-hop — and really, all of music. Neither wants to lose that.” Their current “On the Run” tour is predicted to gross $100 million, according to Forbes — which also ranked Beyoncé the world’s most powerful celebrity of 2014, with Jay Z ranked sixth. Billboard ranked the couple No. 1 on their February 2014 Power 100 list. Their combined net worth, according the International Business Times, is nearly $1 billion. But in the weeks since Beyoncé’s sister Solange was caught attacking Jay Z in a hotel elevator after the Met Gala, the couple’s tightly controlled image has been crumbling. And while they’ve been pushing back, kissing on stage and playing happy family on Instagram, the source says Jay and Bey are permanently broken, and that both are at fault. “Knowing them as I do, obviously there’s a little something to certain rumors,” the source says. “When your man or your woman isn’t getting it done for you, and I’m talking emotionally, not necessarily sexually … they keep things quiet.” Not for much longer. When Jay Z and Beyoncé first got together in 1999, she was a star but a sheltered one. At 19, she still lived with her parents in Houston — dad Matthew, who quit his job at Xerox to manage her career with Destiny’s Child, and mom Tina, who became the group’s stylist. She hinted at being a virgin, and it’s reported that she left school at 14. Jay Z, then 30, had emerged from the Brooklyn projects as a hip-hop powerhouse. Having released his critically acclaimed debut “Reasonable Doubt” in 1996, he had a breakthrough commercial smash with 1998’s “Vol. 2 … Hard Knock Life.” A year later, Jay Z was arrested for allegedly stabbing producer Lance “Un” Rivera in a dispute over bootlegging; Jay pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and walked away with three years’ probation. Jay Z and Beyoncé have always been circumspect about the beginnings of their romance, even as they stoked intrigue with their collaborations. After breaking with Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé’s next project was a duet with Jay on his “’03 Bonnie and Clyde,” and in the video, they played a hip-hop version of the outlaw couple. When Beyoncé released her first solo album, 2003’s “Dangerously in Love,” Jay appeared on two tracks — including the first single and video for “Crazy in Love.” It was a master stroke of marketing: She gave him class, he gave her cred. Jay Z was infatuated with Beyoncé, says the source, but the bottom line was business; he knew he could do big things for her, and together they could be a juggernaut. For Beyoncé, however, it was a slower burn. According to an interview with the website Celebuzz, her uncle Larry Beyince said that initially his niece had no interest. “He was after her and she wasn’t,” Beyince said. “She told me she wasn’t too fond of him … I guess she wasn’t attracted to him.” The source says Beyoncé was most interested in Jay’s mind. “Jay’s a kingmaker; she recognized that. This was a come-up for her, no question. She had to learn the ropes as presented by Jay — but really, this was mostly about business.” As for dating others, he says, “they each had guilty pleasures.” The source believes that, along the way, she did really fall for Jay Z, and her parents, who had groomed Beyoncé to be a star from a very young age, were fine with it — for a time.
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?
Gee, I wonder why he cast this guy Dave to star in Below Deck, Bravo's new cruise ship reality show? Was he that big a fan of his work? Just how transparent is Andy? Obviously Dave wasn't a part of the real crew. Dave even admits he's the "new guy" who was just hired for the show so he has to try to fit in. Andy must have told the producers that Dave had great crew experience and that's why he NEEDED to be hired. Dave's boyfriend is also a porn star who's been making porn for over 8 years. First the Million Dollar Listing boys and now this, why must Andy raid his personal porn collection to cast his shows?
What's the name of the cute guy who said he and his sister were in foster homes from age five and are grateful to their current mother and father?
Gross.

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

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."

What a beautiful mess. Let's get this out of the way: The movie is classic Luc Besson... but it's also extra ridiculous and absurd. It aspires to be so much more than it is, and utterly fails... but it's a compelling failure. It's fun... but perhaps not as much fun as it should have been. The worst part is the ending... it leaves you sorta going ".... huh." But so much interesting visual beauty, and amazingly choreographed action happens before that. Completely silly and unrealistic, you can't even ding it for that... it clearly knows it. Not much of it makes much sense, but it sort of doesn't matter. I think the best way to see this movie is to be completely stoned. Anyone else see it?
Speaking on The Talk, the former X Factor judge said: “Don’t you find there are – not naming names – a lot of people inside this industry and outside who have women as beards? “They live a lie. I’m not condemning them, but it’s sad that people do have to do that and they don’t have the wherewithal or the strength to live the lives that they were born to lead.” She also weighed in on Simon Cowell, who earlier this week rejected “antiquated” claims that he is secretly gay. Osbourne said: “So many people do ask if Simon Cowell is gay… I don’t know why! It just comes with his aura. “He does have a very gay-ish – which I think if fabulous – air about him.” Last week, Southwark Crown Court heard that Tulisa’s manager Gareth Varey had an exchange with Mahmood, who posed as a film producing Sheik, during which Varey said he knew men who had slept with music producer Cowell. In a secret recording, Mahmood asked Varey whether Cowell was gay, to which he responded “yes”. Cowell’s management said: “Simon was referred to during the trial without forewarning, resulting in widespread media coverage of untrue claims regarding his private life. “In 2014 the question of whether someone is or is not gay is antiquated. (As it happens he isn’t, though if he were, he would simply have said so). “However, the issue was the false suggestion made by Mr Varey that Simon – who is renowned for his honesty and candidness – had thus not been truthful in the public arena and this is what we have been obliged to clarify.” What do you think about this?

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

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

Vote for one then discuss below.
What is it, new makeup artist? Gained or lost a few pounds? I can''t put my finger on it.
Is he really? His fans and some of his "friends" keep saying that he is bisexual and very promiscuous with women, and only says that he is gay because he is HIV positive (which is a weird reason to call yourself gay, isn't it?).
Madonna darling, your timing was a little off. She has long been hailed the queen of media manipulation, but Madonna, along with so many other celebrities over the past few days, has made what can only be described as an epic fail. Two days after the world was violently jolted by the Malaysia Airlines disaster, Madonna and her brood of children, a party numbering six in total, boarded a flight from New York to London. According to reports, the pop star sat herself in first class while her entourage slummed it down in business class, which for anyone who has bravely tried to cross the curtain will know, are heavily guarded and very separate territories aboard any aircraft. According to reports in Britain's The Sun, another passenger told the paper: "Madonna took everyone by surprise when she waltzed down the aisle to talk to her kids during the safety demonstration. “Everyone was sat down just before take-off listening to the emergency exits information. Members of the cabin crew immediately told her she needed to go back and sit down but she wouldn’t listen. “Instead, she ventured further back into business class to visit her kids who were sitting there. “The other passengers seemed amused at what was going on because she was just ignoring everyone’s pleas and did what she wanted. “The air hostesses were getting quite annoyed with her but Madonna didn’t seem to notice them and just carried on chatting until the plane was about to take off.” Madonna is a woman who is meant to know all about how important timing is, so it beggars belief that she would behave in such a manner given how anxious air travellers have been since the brutal destruction of a passenger jet over the Ukraine, Madonna darling, even you are not THAT important. But Madonna has not been alone. PS was chided by Geoffrey Edelsten's bride-to-be Gabi Grecko after suggesting she refrain from her relentless self promotion on Twitter, complete with bikini photos and banal commentary. Grecko was busily uploading just hours after news of the MH17 disaster was filling the Twittersphere. But compared to Madonna, Grecko is a newbie to the fame game - unlike Elle Macpherson. The Body - or at least one of her many minions - was busy uploading shots of herself downing her "Elixir" supplements on social media just as the MH17 carnage was filling people's timelines. While unintentional, it certainly left a sour taste in PS's mouth. The lesson in all of this: every now and then the real world will come crashing into the world of celebrity and the best thing stars can do is sit back, take stock and remember they may well be living in a bubble, but it's a bubble that is easily burst.
Wow. Easily one of the best movies I've seen in the theater in ages. Surprisingly great... I loved the first one and this one is just so much better. Just amazingly well crafted. Anyone else see it this weekend?
Why couldn't they cast anyone attractive? There are attractive engineers in real life too. Regardless of content, it is really hard to watch because of the ugliness and eye-bugginess of the cast. Is this how straight men feel about watching Girls?

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

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

This macho actor surprised everyone when he left his successful long running series recently. Although he IS married, he has a little secret. He works out in a predominantly gay West Hollywood gym and doesn’t mind showing off his physique.

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

Eight is Enough star STILL living in a dilapidated trailer Things have gone from bad to worse for “Eight Is Enough” star Susan Richardson The down-on-her-luck actress still lives in a run-down trailer in a Pennsylvania campground and gets by on a paltry $2,000 monthly pension. But now she’s been hit by the devastating one-two punch of losing her mother and her dog at the same time! “My mother, Rachel, and my beloved dog, Honey Bunches of Oats, died on the same day!” said a heartbroken Susan, 62 “My dog died early in the morning and my mother passed later that night. She hadn’t even been sick! It nearly sent me over the edge! Oh, my God, I miss them so much.” Susan – who played fourth oldest sibling Susan Bradford on the hit TV series from 1977 to 1981 – lives in a 28-foot 1960 Avion trailer in the Birchview Farm Campground in Wagontown, a place which has been called “a dilapidated dump.” Her acting career hit the skids after “Eight Is Enough,” and Susan wrestled with addictions to both cocaine and painkillers. She eventually beat her drug demons, and moved to Wagontown to be close to her mother, who lived in the nearby town of Collegeville. But recently she’s suffered from a number of new health problems. She’s diabetic, has had three strokes and lost all her teeth to an incurable digestive tract condition. The condition triggered spasms in her esophagus, and caused her to regurgitate stomach bile, which eroded her teeth and caused infection, she explained. “The dentist had to pull all my teeth,” she said of the ordeal. “Fortunately, I now have false teeth that my daughter bought for me.” At one time, the disorder also triggered such intense stabbing pain that Susan stopped eating, and dropped from 167 to 107 pounds. “I’ve gained some of that weight back, but it’s still hard for me to get food down,” she said, adding that she underwent additional surgery on her esophagus in July. Choking back tears, Susan revealed her neighbors thought she’d died last winter. “Someone called the police to the campground, telling them there was a dead old lady in one of the trailers. And they arrived at my place!” she recalled. “The snow had drifted all the way up to the top of my camper. The police showed up and they ended up digging me out. “I had no electricity or heat for five or six days. "But I survived…just like I always do,” she concluded.
Does this queen (John Douglas Eason) get it right? You know, I like a lot of individual things in this apartment - furniture pieces, artwork, fabrics. And, it's certainly cohesive with a clear idea. Yet, I like the parts more than the sum. He did a good job with the small kitchen. He has a clear color scheme - white, black, gray, browns. And, yes, it does look very shelter mag, bordering on staged (but isn't a photo spread with a designer expected to look staged)? I don't know. I'm sort of past ripping on people's homes other than saying "not for me". I like to pick out what I like or appreciate bout places. Is it just me or does this look sort of small?
Anyone excited about watching the final year? God help me, but after watching several trailers, I think it looks kinda good. BTW, what's the real story about Luke Grimes (James) leaving? After watching the most recent preview, I hope it was not homophobia.
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.

He may not be conventionally hot but there's something attractive and sexy about him
He is friends with Jeff because Jeff is Harry's agent, he is supposed to introduce him to a lot of important people in LA. Harry wants to be known as a songwriter, he wants to become 'friends' with people who can help him become famous as an individual when the time is there. You can keep calling Jeff his boyfriend, but that doesn't make it the truth. The only truth is that Harry is a smart ass who knows exactly how to charm the right people into doing a lot for him. Even if those people have their own agenda as well. Harry has talked his way right into the Azoff family. What more does he need? Well, maybe a secret girl- or boyfriend who loves him for who he is, and not for how famous he is. Someone who doesn't care about him being in LA all the time. So this person must have the possibility to see him, even though he is always staying at different places around the world. Someone whom he wants to stay faithful to, even though he knows that he could sleep with a lot of beautiful people. But why would a guy his age want to do that? Does that mean that his love interest is famous as well, and that he/she can pull the same card? Open your eyes, there is only one person who would fit in his life right now. He has never made a secret of his feelings.
Who's Who in AHS: Freak Show The cast is revealed Photo: Getty At Comic-Con, Ryan Murphy finally gave fans something to salivate on — no not a teaser but a cast of characters, revealing just who Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and everyone else is portraying on the fourth season of American Horror Story. Jessica Lange is Elsa Mars Emma Roberts is Maggie Sarah Paulson is the dual role of Siamese twins Bette and Dot (a vision to behold) Michael Chiklis is Evan del Toreado Kathy Bates is Ethel Darling Angela Bassett is del Toreado's ex-wife Desiree Dupre Evan Peters is del Toreado’s son Jimmy Darling As for the show's villain, that role will be played by John Carroll Lynch. The actor previously portrayed suspected serial killer, Arthur Leigh Allen, in David Fincher's Zodiac and was last seen on FX's The Americans. If an unofficial leaked call sheet is to be believed, Lynch's character is a "twisted clown." That same call sheet also revealed a few other parts, including Grace Gummer as Penny the Candy Striper, Ann McKenzie as Eudora Tattler, and the return of two AHS alums, Ben Woolf and Naomi Grossman as Pepper. (The Huffington Post believes that given Asylum's timeline, Freak Show could reveal Pepper's origin story and connect the two seasons.) As for other casting news, we know that Wes Bentley is Bates' tormentor, Dennis O'Hare is going to play a "collector of freaks," and AHS alums Jamie Brewer, Frances Conroy, Gabourey Sidibe are set to return in unspecified roles. Also joining the series this year is Finn Wittrock, who had a small part in Murphy's adaptation of The Normal Heart. There was no mention of Neil Patrick Harris, who recently professed his desire to be on the show. But we can't really believe he would join the series?

I have two straight friends who''ve confessed to getting oral sex from men but say they were freaked out about the idea of reciprocating or, worse, taking it up the ass.\ \ On the other hand, I have another "straight" friend who only wants to get fucked - absolutely nothing else - when he hooks up with a guy. He just loves to have his ass opened up and his girlfriend isn''t into it using toys, etc..\ \ Anyone else know similar guys?

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

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

For all the theater loving queens on DL, I never see much mentioned about Eileen Heckart. Always loved her when I saw her on TV or in a film.
See below and linked. Perhaps he just has an obsessive and unhinged overreaction to something that may be quite natural? Researchers from the universities of Bristol and St. Andrews in the UK have found that the color of a person's skin affects how healthy and therefore attractive they appear, and have found that diet may be crucial to achieving the most desirable complexion. Using specialist computer software, a total of 54 Caucasian participants of both sexes were asked to manipulate the skin color of male and female Caucasian faces to make them look as healthy as possible. They chose to increase the rosiness, yellowness and brightness of the skin. "Most previous work on faces has focused on the shape of the face or the texture of the skin, but one of the most variable characteristics of the face is skin color," said Dr. Ian Stephen who is now at the University of Bristol. Melanin, the pigment that causes the tan color when skin is exposed to the sun makes the skin darker and more yellow, but participants in the study chose to make skin lighter and more yellow to make it look healthier. "What we eat and not just how much we eat appears to be important for a healthy appearance. The only natural way in which we can make our skin lighter and more yellow is to eat a more healthy diet high in fruit and vegetables.

My bf and I are about to hit our first anniversary. He's starting to "accidentally" call me his husband and talk about the very long-term. He places me on a pedestal, and treats me so much better than my previous guy. I love him and care about him very much, but this seems not at all in line with what I'm feeling. There's not a way out of this that doesn't break his heart, is there?

Didja ever notice how Dorothy was so committed to her aesthetic of oversized, shapeless clothes that she even maintained it all the way into her accessories by carrying only oversized, shapeless purses? The strain of these large leather sacks seem like they must have caused fatigue on Dorothy''s shoulders, but I guess stylistic integrity meant more to Dorothy than comfort.
Outside of pregnancies from rape, incest, or danger to the mother, there is no reason to murder a baby. Fuck a woman's right to choose, she is made to carry a baby. Biology is quite simple.
Sherri Shepherd does not want anything to do with her unborn surrogate baby ... because she believes her estranged husband defrauded her into having the kid in the first place so he could get child support ... this according to multiple sources connected with the couple. TMZ broke the story ... Sherri and her husband Lamar Sally each separately filed legal docs to end their marriage. The big complication -- a baby will be born this month to a surrogate who signed a contract with Sherri and Lamar. Now our sources say ... the baby was conceived with Lamar's sperm, but NOT Sherri's egg. Now here's where it gets tricky. We're told Sherri does not want custody or even to be considered a parent ... because she doesn't want to get stuck with massive child support payments. Sherri wants a judge to rule she has no parental rights or responsibilities -- which would shut the door to child support. She claims Lamar defrauded her -- that he got her to sign on for a surrogate birth knowing full well he would divorce her and then nail her to the wall for child support. Our Lamar sources say Sherri tried to get pregnant in vitro and when it didn't work she got deeply involved in the surrogacy process. Another twist ... Sherri has filed for divorce in New Jersey and Lamar has filed in California. This is not a coincidence. We did some digging, and found New Jersey courts generally do NOT recognize surrogacy agreements, which means Lamar would probably be shut down. Not so in Cali.
Sherri Shepherd says she won't pay child support for baby born via surrogate since it's not hers

Yes, again... even though it's been done before, it's fun to see how things change. Since most are in the US, this is by region. The regions are kind of nebulous (one state might belong to two), so just pick the one that feels right. Use the state you most identify with growing up in ("where you're from"), not where you are now.

Several years ago I was a movie extra, which was fun and it kinda paid the bills. I was working late on set and a few extras and crew and I decided to go out for drinks after we wrapped up. A British actor/extra friend wanted to know if he could invite a friend of his who was lonely and a bit blue. I said, 'sure, why not.' When everyone arrived at the bar, my British friend introduced his friend, who was also (at that time) a struggling British actor, named Andrew. To be honest, I wasn't impressed. He seemed lonely, depressed, needy, and I got the impression he hadn't showered for several days. He had a beard and his hair looked like it hadn't been combed or washed in weeks. He was nice enough though, though he seemed like he was already a bit drunk. I took pity on him really. We chatted for most of the evening, and after I told him that I was gay, he mentioned that he was "bisexual" - having had girlfriends, but the occasional fling with a guy - for him it was "finding love wherever I can find it." He also said that he and his girlfriend weren't working out at the moment and he would really like to find a horny guy, perhaps that night. He was rather clingy and would follow me wherever I went. If I decided to go to the bar area, sure enough, a minute later Andrew would follow. If I decided to walk over to a table, yep, he followed. He was very puppy doggish. He even invited me to dance a little, which we did, and we even started to be touchy-feely with each other. He even whispered a few sexually explicit things to me. I guess I was leading him on a bit. I rather lost interest in him when a very stunning guy walked into the bar. I decided to try to pick this Adonis up, and, truth be told, kinda forgot all about my new English friend. I chatted with this surfer guy for about 10 minutes, before Andrew butted in -in a rather needy angsty way. This obviously made things uncomfortable, and, unfortunately, it soured me getting in the pants of the Greek God. I was rather pissed at Andrew and well... sorta told him I thought he ruined that conversation. Andrew, looking sad said "oh, I thought you were interested in me!" and huffed off a bit rejected and jealous. To be honest, I felt bad. The next day, our mutual friend invited us both to lunch. It was really awkward. I could tell Andrew was pissed at me. I apologized to him for not giving him the attention I guess he thought he deserved, and for me being rude. He warmed up again after my apology, but made it clear that he and this girl he was dating may work out, maybe. I took this as a hint that he was no longer interested in me. My impression was that he was extremely sensitive, gentle, emotional, and rather clingy. I ran into him again, perhaps twice more socially, but forgot about him until he was in a Facebook movie a few years later. He was certainly more successful than I was!!
Has he ever gone this long without a woman?
At least he got laid a lot, which is more than I can say for myself.

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.

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

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

Let me tell you about this woman that I worked with at an upscale Manhattan hotel.(Her pic is at link) Unattractive, crude, more than a few pounds overweight and very dishonest. Threw the race card out there whenever things didn't go her way. Her favorite expression if she got mad at someone is to say "They can suck my dick." Is so manly in her behavior and dress that once when she was in the public restroom in the lobby a concerned woman rushed up to the front desk to report that they had just spotted a man in the women's room. It was no man, it was this employee. Liked to have loud, threatening fights with her girlfriend Keisha on her cellphone in front of her co-workers during work time. Showed up at employee outings in appropriate attire and often swigging from liquor bottles. Got a male employee in big trouble for playfully referring to her as Whoopi because of her resemblance to Whoopi Goldberg. They both had a similar dreadlock hairstyle at the time. She ran to HR and claimed this employee was racist for calling her this.She quietly confided to some co-workers that the real reason she got the guy in trouble was because she felt Whoopi Goldberg is ugly and she was upset with the comparison. (For the record, WG is better looking than this woman.) Just stopped coming to work for more than two weeks and had her mother call in with some lame excuse for her even though she is a grown woman who should have called herself. Has only a HS education (don't even know if she ever managed to graduate) from a failing NYC public school. Every time, there was any type of managerial opening, she ran to HR to apply for it. She was totally unqualified for these posts but she felt she deserved them. Then when she didn't get the post, she'd have a chip on her shoulder blaming racism as the real reason. Finally, her suck-up boss and other cowardly powers that be gave her one of those meaningless Assnt. Mgr. titles just to keep her happy. She finally got into trouble for physically assaulting a Chinese menu guy that had been caught sneaking into the building and was slipping menus under guest room doors.The policy was to fill out a trespassing form, contact their bosses at the restaurant and if they are uncooperative then to call police. She decided instead to kick this tiny Asian guy's ass leaving him with bruises and cuts before calling the police. Management sent her home for the day but didn't end up firing her. I'm sure they didn't want it to appear that they were being racist. I could go on and on with other tales about this troublemaking walking disaster.I hate companies with spineless management that won't effectively confront these types of employees.
I have gotten many comments from friends and acquaintances saying that my refusal to date bi men is a sign of bigotry, and that I am subjecting them to the same unjustified prejudice that the rest of society heaps on gay people (especially gay men). However, while I acknowledge that bisexuality exists, I simply lose all interest in a guy who is bisexual, or is a MSM and self-identifies as "straight". It's sort of like when you meet someone who spouses radical right wing ideas or has OCD in a bad way. It's just not attractive. Does that mean that I hate bisexual men? Well, no. I just don't want to have anything to do with them, especially in a romantic sense. Have I slept with bisexual guys? Of course, but I never took it seriously and it was a matter of "let's get down to it and then, I'm out of the door". I have never spoken badly of bisexual men, but I have also never, ever heard anything positive about them. I have an ex who is bi, but whenever I think of him with contempt, it isn't because he was bisexual, but because he is the human equivalent of rotting shit. Still, I must admit that coming to know that he was bisexual when our relationship was already on the rocks, didn't help matters. So, is not wanting to date bi men a sign of intolerance and bigotry in gay men? I don't think so. Do you?

This story first appeared in the Aug. 1 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Jerry Levin knows how wrenching it can be to merge two giant media companies. In 2000, the then-CEO of Time Warner appeared onstage at a press conference with Steve Case, then-chairman of AOL, to announce a $164 billion merger. The news stunned both Hollywood and Wall Street. AOL Time Warner stock soon plummeted, shareholders revolted and Jeff Bewkes, Time Warner's current CEO, would later call the deal "the biggest mistake in corporate history." Now Time Warner is dealing with a new suitor in Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox, which is offering $85 per share for TW, or $80 billion. And Levin, who now lives in Washington, D.C., and Maine and is involved in health care startups, acknowledges that such high-stakes Wall Street power plays can affect the fragile ecosystem of talent in the entertainment industry. "It's unsettling," says Levin. If Fox were to succeed in taking over Time Warner, "there will be this massive dislocation," he predicts. PHOTOS Saying Goodbye: TV Shows Ending During 2014-15 Season Many in Hollywood agree. If there's anything that creative types fear, it's uncertainty. And word that Murdoch, 83, is on the prowl for the home of Warner Bros., HBO and the Turner networks has sent a wave of anxiety through a town whose citizens perpetually dread unemployment. "You hear an announcement, you say, 'How is it going to affect me?' " admits CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves. He says he flashed back to 1989 when Warners bought Lorimar Television, where he then worked. "They kept two different television labels going for about a year and a half, and then they decided it didn't make sense to have two labels and they combined them." Producer Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad) concurs: "You're always worried, 'Is this going to reduce the number of buyers?' " Fox maintains that if a deal goes through, it would keep the Fox and Warners film and TV units (and their Century City and Burbank studio lots) separate, instead saving $1 billion in costs by combining sales and "backend" staffs. But not everyone is buying it. An exec at one of the two studios acknowledges that the proposed deal probably would be bad for filmmakers, saying, "There would be one less buyer." In fact, argues writer-producer Marshall Herskovitz (thirtysomething), a Fox-Time Warner combination only would underscore an industry trend. "We've seen in the last 15 years that the consolidation of these companies and their increasingly tight hold over intellectual property have a deleterious effect on the creative community," he says. Competition "has been diminished almost to the point of nonexistence. If Fox decides to pay screenwriters less money, Warners doesn't say, 'Great, look at the great screenwriters we can get.' Instead they say, 'Great, let's pay less money also.' Now imagine what happens if Fox and Warner Bros. are the same company." The two companies are viewed as having dramatically different cultures: The Fox film studio, which released 14 films in 2013 (plus eight via specialty label Fox Searchlight), is known for keeping a tight rein on budgets for everyone but favored filmmakers such as James Cameron. Warners, which released 18 films last year, has a reputation for investing heavily in filmmaker-driven tentpoles. On the TV side, WBTV, with 60 shows in production, is known for genre fare (Arrow) and broad comedy (The Big Bang Theory); 20th TV has about 40 shows, many edgier (Homeland, American Horror Story). PHOTOS Emmy Awards 2014: The Nominees Levin acknowledges that the media companies feel compelled to get larger to combat growing competition from such distributors as the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable and AT&T-DirecTV, both of which are awaiting government approval. But he points to a further complicating factor in the Fox culture -- the mercurial Murdoch. "Rupert is extremely bright," he says. "But if you cross somebody at Fox, you cross Murdoch. It's off with your head. And so, there's also that kind of financial gun held to people's heads." Fox, for instance, is home to the right-leaning Fox News, while Time Warner's CNN and HBO tend to feature left-leaning programming (CNN would be sold in a Fox deal). Others contend that the differences between the two studios have been exaggerated. Certainly, a current Fox hit like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, costing $170 million to produce, would not look out of place on the Warners slate. And in some ways, a merger could benefit the two movie studios. Even if some future Fox-TW entity kept its existing film units separate, it might merge its marketing and distribution operations, both domestically and internationally. The two studios currently compete head-to-head for key playdates around the world, and that influences the movies that get made. "Much of creative development is about winning that opening weekend, which is why you have more X-Men, more Hobbits, more Batmen. That is bad for filmmakers," one exec argues. But if the newly merged company had more control over where it placed its bets on the calendar, "you could program better," he says. And that, in turn, could lead to more confident counterprogramming and, potentially, riskier filmmaker-driven movies like Fox's The Fault in Our Stars or Warners' Gravity. As for the two studios' marquee properties, some execs are fantasizing about a future in which Fox's X-Men crossed over into a movie with Warners' DC Comics characters like Batman. PHOTOS Exclusive Portraits of 'Hercules' Star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Within the TV ranks, though, where Warners is the industry's biggest player, with its stable of blue-chip producers like Chuck Lorre and J.J. Abrams, few are greeting the prospect of a Fox takeover with any enthusiasm. Both Warners and 20th TV develop hundreds of scripts each year and sell shows to all broadcast and cable networks. But a merger could diminish the volume of development, which would translate into fewer jobs for writers, producers and actors and layoffs for executives. (A merger also could result in top projects being channeled to the Fox network from both WBTV and 20th TV, whose chiefs Dana Walden and Gary Newman recently expanded oversight to include Fox.) Consolidation on the TV side also likely would further the current trend toward talent developing scripts outside the traditional studio systems via upstarts like MRC (House of Cards), Gaumont (Hannibal), Alcon (Syfy's The Expanse) and more. These companies fund development, package projects and then take them to market, and more of them likely would spring up if Warner Bros. or 20th TV decreased output. One top agent predicts that the current merger uncertainty could even inhibit development at both studios. "Creative people don't want to go in and pitch until they see what is happening," the agent says. "At Fox right now there is a wait-and-see attitude; and to some extent with [Time Warner's most watched cable net] TNT because we want to make sure we know what is going to happen there." Few can predict how the various networks would coexist. Speculation is that Fox would use Turner's lucrative sports licensing deals for the NBA and Major League Baseball to better position its Fox Sports 1 network to compete with Disney's ESPN. PHOTOS Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films Many creatives, acknowledging that the merger talk is far above their pay grade, are adopting a wait-and-see attitude. "Right now, I don't think there's any impact on anything that's going on during what I'd call an intense period of speculation," cautions UTA co-founder Peter Benedek. "Until such time as the people you're selling to are different, there's no difference." But writer Tom Fontana, of TV's Oz, who has two limited series in development at Fox, expresses what might be the prevailing feeling in Hollywood: uncertainty mixed with skepticism. "I'm not business-savvy enough to fathom the full impact of a potential Time Warner-Fox merger," he says. "But whenever Mr. Murdoch is involved in anything this substantial, I go to Mass."

I'm one of the gays that also love watching straight pron because of the guys. Seeing the other thread about straight pron stars, I thought I'd start one with the link to who is considered the hottest by this particular website. I would add James Dean and Seth Gamble to the list. Some of the ones listed have also done gay pron . . . for instance the ever-hot Wolf Hudson. Pics from the thread are not naked but may not be safe for work either. Enjoy!
Where is the thread? Why was it deleted? We''re not allowed to talk about a gay reality TV show on a "gay" site? WTF?

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

Men obsessed with building muscles are significantly more likely to objectify women, be hostile toward women, and have sexist attitudes, new research finds. This link may come from their own negative body image, the scientists added. "We have previously found that men who hold stronger oppressive beliefs are more likely to think that thinner women are attractive," study researcher Viren Swarmi, of the University of Westminster in the United Kingdom, told LiveScience in an email. This sexism and objectification by men can lead to a more negative body image for women, can hinder women in the workplace and can even cause women to perform worse on cognitive tests.

Now that I'm living "back home" in Pennsyltucky, I thought I'd check out the local gay pride celebration today. But when I looked on the website, I was appalled at all the *rules* of proper attire and behavior listed for the event! Ugh! I said to myself. There's nothing the Germans (this area is heavily influenced by the PA Dutch, i.e., German, culture) love more than rules. Hell, tell these people to jump, and they'll compete to see who jumps the highest. This part of PA is a Republican stronghold. So, I'm walking my dog around the block, and I see a gaggle of gays/lesbians chatting about how wonderful and "kid friendly" gay pride is this year -- not like (in hushed tones) laaast year, and thank God they got it cleaned up so our children could attend. Needless to say, all of this crew had children. Hell, the one gay male couple are about to get four siblings next week, and they also have a grown adopted daughter who just got her M.A. I couldn't believe it. I was taking to the one guy (see four siblings, above), and I told him that all the things he loved about this year's pride are the reasons I would never go to it. As far as I'm concerned, that's not gay pride -- that's gay shame. I told him that gay pride should be and is meant to be an adult event -- leave the children at home! I'm not going to gay pride to celebrate your pseudo-hetero lifestyle, married with kids. What say you, DLers?? Oh -- and be sure to check out the attire rules (as well as the other rules, on the previous page) on their website.
Gay Pride? (I know -- tl;dr, but give it a try anyway).

I grew up in the Rocky Horror Picture Show world, where even my butch friends turned out to be androgynous on Saturday nights."

Savile told hospital staff he performed sex acts on corpses in Leeds mortuary Former TV presenter said he posed with bodies in lewd positions and stole glass eyes, Broadmoor nurse tells investigators Jimmy Savile told hospital staff he interfered with patients' corpses, taking grotesque photographs and stealing glass eyes for jewellery, over two decades at the mortuary of Leeds general infirmary. The late Top of the Pops presenter had free access to the mortuary from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, an official investigation has found, concluding that Savile's interest in the deceased was "not within accepted boundaries". One former Broadmoor nurse told investigators that Savile claimed to have performed sex acts on bodies and "mucked about" in the mortuary, posing in photographs with the deceased after placing them in lewd positions. The former nurse said: "He [Savile] was saying that they used to put the bodies together, male and female, and he also said that they took photographs and also that he got involved in some of the photographs … I was a little bit upset because I had no concept, in those days, of necrophilia. Several of the Broadmoor patients would have been diagnosed with that, but I didn't fully understand what it meant, and partway through I just wandered off. "[Savile] talked about gamaroosh ... It means oral sex ... that he [Savile], he would go down on them and gamaroosh and muck about." Separately, the independent investigation was told that Savile had removed glass eyes from the bodies and used them as jewellery. One witness said: "I looked at his hands and he had these gross, big silver rings with bulbous things and I sort of went, 'Yes, mm,' always be polite to your superstar, 'Yes, Jim.' And he said: 'D'you know what they are? They are glass eyes from dead bodies in Leeds mortuary where I work and I love working there, and I wheel the dead bodies around at night and I love that.'" Savile was said to have been best friends with the chief mortician of Leeds general infirmary, who is now dead, and had regular unsupervised access to the mortuary from the late 70s until the mid-90s. The investigation, published by the Department of Health, established that Savile had publicly disclosed his interest in the dead, that he was friends with the chief mortician, and that there was a lack of stringent procedures regarding access to the mortuary until the late 80s at the earliest. It concluded: "In light of the claims about the glass eye jewellery and Savile's interference with the bodies of the deceased, it is evident his interest in the mortuary was not within accepted boundaries." A Home Office pathologist confirmed to the inquiry that it would have been possible for Savile to pose with the bodies before the rigor mortis stage, a chemical change which causes a corpse's limbs to become stiff. Dr Jennifer Bolton told the investigators: "A degree of posing would be possible with some support of the body in the pre-rigor mortis phase and by the simple laying of one body on top of another once rigor mortis was fully established.
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).

I’ve kissed other dudes in my life, so it’s not really a big deal. I have this conversation a lot because there is still a lot of homophobia in the world and in adult films, when you’re sharing a scene with another dude and a lady, sometimes certain things come up: gay this, gay that. The way I define gay or homosexuals is a sexual attraction to a member of the same sex. I fully believe that people can engage in any sort of activity. Like I hate basketball, but I’ve played basketball before and it doesn’t make me a professional basketball player. That [gay-sex] scene was a very important part of the movie, because it kind of represents the power switch. I think Bret was really worried I wouldn’t want to do it. It’s part of the script. It’s not like it’s real life. I’m not shooting a porno where I have to get physically erect and have sex with a dude. [...] When I was younger, I think I was like 15 or something, I would have a moment where I was like, I don’t know, maybe I like guys, maybe I like girls, what is life? I experimented and I never really… I’m not attracted to dudes. I kinda sometimes feel bad about that, I feel like I’m supposed to be because I hang out in San Francisco so much and people make me feel really bad for being a straight, white dude and I feel like I’m doing something wrong for being a straight white dude.” – Porn actor and Lindsay Lohan’s The Canyons co-star James Deen discussing gay sex at length with Gawker.

I remember Sting from a vanity project about his life when his wife was giving birth to one of their kids. While she was grunting and groaning in the background like constipated wolverine, the camera lingered on him as the "slap and cry" confirmed the birth. The camera moved in, and a single tear trickled down from Sting's eye, as in: This is all about me. "Look at me! I'm emotional. What a performance! One of my best." I liked The Police but rarely listen to Sting anymore. He is one of the most pretentious pop stars out there and now he wants to brag in the international press how he's going to shaft his kids. He's a roadshow Warren Buffet. “I told them there won’t be much money left because we are spending it! We have a lot of commitments. What comes in, we spend, and there isn’t much left. I certainly don’t want to leave them trust funds that are albatrosses round their necks. They have to work. All my kids know that and they rarely ask me for anything, which I really respect and appreciate.”

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

Ben McKenzie to Play Young Commissioner Gordon in Fox’s Batman Origin Series February 8, 2014 | 02:30PM PT AJ Marechal, TV Reporter “Gotham” has found its Detective James Gordon. Fox and Warner Bros. TV have tapped Ben McKenzie to star in “Gotham,” casting the “Southland” alum as a young version of DC Comics’ famed Commissioner Gordon. Fox topper Kevin Reilly announced at the net’s winter TCA session that “Gotham” will feature the origin story of Gordon along with Gotham City’s notable villains. A young Bruce Wayne will also be featured, as “Gotham” follows Wayne from his pre-teen years to the moment when it puts on the Batman cape for the first time. Bruno Heller penned the pilot script for “Gotham,” which has a series commitment at Fox. He will exec produce with Danny Cannon, who also helmed the pilot. McKenzie is no stranger to the Fox family, as the thesp landed his breakout role on the net’s sudsy drama “The O.C.” McKenzie also has experience working in the Batman universe, having voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman in 2011 animated pic “Batman: Year One.” The actor is repped by CAA, Management 360 and PJ Shapiro, Ziffren and Brittenham.

There are still a few left, but it was such an omnipresent sort of figure in gay life once upon a time. Look at John McCourt, Terrence Mcnally, Albert Innaurato, Wayne Koestenbaum... all of them are still alive, of course; but all of them are at least over 50. I just cannot name that many gay men under 50 who still deeply care about opera. If you revived the play "The Lisbon Traviata" today, I don't think many gay men would universally recognize the type the way they did when the play was written. Why did this type of gay man die out? I'm not sure I really mourn it, since opera queens were often (though not always) mean, sour, and snobby.
Which are the least active? What are the reasons for the relative activity or lack of activity?
Well? We know it's mostly British influenced films, but what other non-white culture had the greatest influence on Hollywood.
BEHIND closed doors, a furious Tom Cruise is at the center of two explosive scandals that could blow the lid off his private life, The National ENQUIRER has learned. While the Hollywood megastar has long insisted that he is not homosexual, nightmare rumors – said to be about the 52-year-old father of three – about his sexuality have made it into print. The incredible claims and outrageous allegations involve same sex love affairs, and appear in author Amy Sohn’s blockbuster book “The Actress,” which its publisher has promoted as a “big, juicy literary novel.” But The ENQUIRER can reveal that “The New York Times” and other websites have labeled the book a “roman a clef” – a novel about real people clothed as fiction – and they claim its main character is three-times divorced Cruise! In “The Actress,” Sohn offers a thinly veiled version of Cruise’s life, complete with sham marriages and “fake looking relationships with women,” say reports. Now sources close to Cruise have told of the Hollywood icon’s secret anguish at the sex slurs. Privately, he is blasting the latest lies and false claims that threaten to taint his straight-arrow image. “Tom is fit to be tied!” said an insider. “He is upset when fabricated stories about him are published as if they were the truth. He’s also upset that this novel suggests he is leading a closeted homosexual life.” Referring to the novel’s main character in its July 7 review, “The New York Times” said “obviously he is modeled on Mr. Cruise.” But the article also pointed out that the character, unlike Cruise, isn’t associated with the controversial religion Scientology. The character “has no religious affiliation with a famously litigious church that might go after the author or publisher,” the review noted. An insider added: “Tom must be beside himself over this book. It dredges up all the old gay rumors once again. This is a headache that will simply not go away!” Adding to the big-screen icon’s woes, a lawsuit involving his former Scientology auditor and the church’s legal affairs adviser, Marty Rathbun, could reveal even more secrets, said the source. The suit is set to be heard by a judge in Texas, and was filed against Scientology by Rathbun’s wife, Monique. In it, Rathbun claims she was harassed and even followed to work. Tom with Church of Scientology leader, David Miscavige Chad Slater made false statements about the actor’s sexuality “Marty previously claimed that Scientology spied on the actor’s every move,” added the insider. “If Tom is called to testify in the case, he could face some serious questioning about his private life – and it could settle the issue of whether or not Tom is gay.” Marty Rathbun was a Scientologist for 27 years. At one point, his title was “Inspector General of the Religious Technologies Center.” Before leaving the church in 2004, Rathbun, 57, conducted “audits” – a form of Scientology counseling – with a slew of celebrity members, including Cruise. In an interview with London’s “Independent,” Rathbun said Tom invited him to L.A. for auditing sessions in 2001 while the actor was divorcing his second wife, Nicole Kidman. At the time, the “Top Gun” star was also battling gay porn actor Chad Slater over outrageous, false statements about his sexuality. Cruise – who vigorously pursues those who question his sexual orientation – took on Slater after the hunk was quoted in a French magazine as saying he had an affair with Cruise. Slater later recanted. Experts say it’s possible information about Cruise’s private life could be divulged during testimo- ny in Monique’s court case. Top attorney Alison Triessl, who is not involved in the suit but studied it for The ENQUIRER, said: “Any conversation they (Rathbun and Cruise) had during the course of their friendship outside of the auditing process, regardless of how personal they may have been, may very well come out at trial.” Another former Scientologist agreed that Tom has plenty to fear if Rathbun testifies. “As Tom’s auditor, Marty knows everything about him. Nothing is hidden,” Margery Wakefield, who wrote the book “Testimony” about her Scientology experience, told The ENQUIRER. Scientology may also have maintained a secret file on Cruise, said a source. As The ENQUIRER reported in August 2013, a Scientology staffer reportedly provided Scientology leader David Miscavige with detailed, daily reports about the Cruise household for years, former officials said. Later, Cruise – without his knowledge or consent – was reportedly secretly videotaped via hidden cameras during his “auditing sessions.” The ENQUIRER also reported that ex Katie Holmes was also audited, according to sources, and the church has those tapes as well. Those tapes were also personally delivered to Miscavige, according to former Scientologist Claire Headley. “David seemed to know everything,” the source added. “And some of those secrets have the possibility of emerging in the Rathbun lawsuit.” ‘WE NEVER DISCLOSE SECRETS’- CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY Responds -- A lawyer for the Church of Scientology has blasted Rathbun to The National ENQUIRER in the past, saying he has “pursued his personal vendetta against” the church for years, “making numerous false, defamatory statements.” The lawyer also charged that Rathbun admitted he perjured himself in a court case involving Scientology. Reps from the church pointed out that auditors are Scientology ministers who “have a duty to keep such communications secret, much like a Roman Catholic priest has a religious obligation not to divulge the contents of confessions.” In the past, a church rep has also told The ENQUIRER: “The church treats the secrets of parishioners imparted to it as sacrosanct. It never discloses them.” The church has also previously denied that it audiotaped or videotaped subjects without their consent. Nor does the church keep “secret files” on its members.

I really loved both the novel and movie of Up the Down Staircase! Bel Kaufman, a former New York City schoolteacher whose classic first novel, “Up the Down Staircase” — shot through with despair and hopefulness, violence and levity, bureaucratic inanity and a blizzard of official memorandums so mind-bendingly illogical as to seem almost Kafkaesque — was hailed as a stunningly accurate portrait of life in an urban school when it was published in 1965, died on Friday at her home in Manhattan. She was 103.

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.

Let this next story serve as a cautionary tale for those of you who like to play with sex toys while drunk! A 38-year-old went to hospital complaining of fatigue, severe weight loss and lethargy. Upon a closer examination, doctors discovered a 5-inch sex toy that had been pushing up against her bladder for 10 years, the Daily Mail reports. Doctors were shocked to discover a strange foreign body protruding into her bladder from her vagina. Surgical removal of the item at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary revealed it to be a five inch (11cm)-long sex toy. Medical staff were even more taken back when the woman revealed she had used the sex toy with her partner ten years ago. She also admitted she was under the influence of alcohol at the time – and claimed she couldn’t remember removing it or not. The woman had a normal IQ, no signs of depression or psychosis and had not been subject to any abuse, according to the case report. But the sex toy had caused her potentially life-threatening damage. [A previous case report from 2009 describes how doctors discovered a 3 x 5 cm foreign body in a 72-year-old woman's vagina - but she and the doctors were unable to work out what is was] … After removing the sex toy, doctors managed to repair the damage and the woman was later discharged. One doctor at the hospital, who was not willing to comment on the patient’s specific case, confirmed it was highly unusual for such a large foreign object to go unnoticed in the majority of instances – by patients or their partners. This is because the vagina is full of nerve endings and is extremely sensitive, he says. The patient’s case – reported in The Journal of Sexual Medicine – is the first time a sex toy has been left inside a woman for as long as a decade.

Just a few years ago, this jack-toothed queen was being arrested for sucking cock and buying coke/crack in Central Park. Now, he's like the British Wolf Blitzer on CNN. Omnipresent, refusing to go away, perpetually employed because, somehow, for some reason, he is considered their "aviation expert".. (Maybe he was a pilot at one point, or some air industry exec.?) He's a typical Brit, loving to sensationalize and tabloid'ize every sub-story of every story. Yesterday, he actually interrupted Anderson Cooper by saying, regarding the air crash victims' bodies being returned to the Netherlands: "You know Ahndasun, today, we are ALL DUTCH!" - He was obviously ripping-off the famous French headline from 9/11, but he said it with such pride, certain he would make headlines for having come up with it, that you could see he was bursting with self satisfaction. Why is this person here? What is it about ethically questionable, universally disliked Brits that CNN insists on forcing upon us?

It might be the worst film adaptation of a pretty good Broadway musical ever. I understand that John Huston hated the song "Tomorrow" and would only allow it sung over the credits. But why did he and the producers take so many of the show's other good songs (like "NYC" and the title song) out and replace them with such shit like "We Got Annie" and "Let's Go to the Movies" and "Dumb Dog"? Why did they film the Warbucks mansion in what looked to be a giant mausoleum? Why were the choreographed numbers so chaotic and filmed with so many zillions of children? In case you've forgotten the horror, here's "We Got Annie."

The line between parody and reality is so thin when it comes to rich, fabulous, screaming people, so we're interested to see how Hulu's upcoming original series Hotwives of Orlando succeeds at skewering the eminently skewer-able. Between Casey Wilson, Kristen Schaal, and the catchphrase "I'm so good at being Phe Phe," it has a lot of promise. The series takes you inside the uber-exclusive and glamorous world of six "hot housewives" in Central Florida's sexiest city, Orlando. The show follows the ladies as they fight over pretty much everything except for their love of shoes, plastic surgery, and the pursuit of spending all of their husbands' money. This upcoming series is part of Hulu's foray into original scripted programming. The first season will begin airing on July 15, 2014. The show is a scripted parody of the reality television franchise The Real Housewives on Bravo.

07/14/2014 Back in April we reported that James Franco was set to play Michael Glatze, founder of the (now shuttered) gay twink magazine XY and the short-lived publication Young Gay America who went "ex-gay" and became a poster boy for that movement. Now Variety reports that Zachary Quinto and Emma Roberts have signed on to the film: Quinto will play the former boyfriend of Franco’s character. Roberts is set to reteam with her “Palo Alto” co-star as his girlfriend. Chris Zylka (“The Amazing Spider-Man,” “Piranha 3DD”) is also attached to the film as another past love interest. The script for “Michael” is based on “My Ex-Gay Friend,” a New York Times Magazine article by Benoit Denizet-Lewis (author of “Travels with Casey”) about Michael Glatze, a Christian minister from Wyoming who was so entrenched in gay culture before rejected his homosexuality, he founded a gay youth magazine. Justin Kelly will direct. Gus van Sant is the executive producer, along with producers James Franco, Vince Jolivette, Michael Mendelsohn, Ron Singer and Scott Reeve.

As I understand it, George Bush & Congress passed a law intended to reduce the problem with sex-trafficking. Minors from Central American are now using the enticement of a loophole in that law to flee violence and sexual exploitation in their home countries, and stay in this country longer than they otherwise would have. Obama has deported more undocumented immigrants than any other president, but is stuck enforcing this law. He has asked Congress for funds to manage the influx of these youngsters, and The Rs in the House, so far, refuse to put up the money. Have I got this right? How is this Obama's fault, not that the lack of fault ever stopped the Rs from attacking him?

well, this sucks. I saw an ad online for a speed dating night in weho and I thought I'd check it out. Turns out I'm two years too old to go. Yes, like DC Comics, I'm the new 52. I thought, eh, I look a few years younger; I can go. Then I read the fine print in the ad that strongly urged anyone out side of the age range not to come. "We have other events for other age ranges." I'm thinking, 'what? 51 to 65 or 70?' I know this happens to everyone re: getting old. But it's so depressing! I feel like I wasted the best part of my life by not trying harder. But then people say don't try. Just live your life and you'll meet someone. That doesn't always happen though. Maybe I can still become rich and just buy someone.
This might end up being very very good.

Mayor Rob Ford was the only member of council to vote Thursday against a proposal for a Cyndi Lauper type True Colors LGBT homeless shelter He did not explain his opposition, either in public or to other members of council. The 37-1 vote came just a day after Ford refused to stand during a council ovation for the organizers of the World Pride festival. He said later that he is “not homophobic,” but he would not explain why he did not join his colleagues in applause. Ford has barely concealed his antagonism to the gay community. Though he has always insisted that he is not homophobic, he has become more open about his feelings over the last year — drawing accusations that he is attempting to bait anti-gay voters. He used a homophobic slur to describe Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau in the 2013 video that appears to show him smoking crack cocaine. He made an emotional and unsuccessful effort this winter to get the city to take down the rainbow Pride flag it raised during the Olympics in solidarity with the gay community in Russia. He admitted at the beginning of his campaign that he skips the Pride festival out of personal preference, not strictly because of his schedule. And he has objected to AIDS/HIV funding saying "It is very preventable, if you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you wouldn’t get AIDS probably, that’s bottom line.” “These are the facts, “How are women getting it?

To start this thread off: this is not a peane (he said peen, huh huh huh) to prison rape. Not at all. I just watched the movie "Snitch" starring the Rock. I know this was fiction, but we all know it happens every day. He had to watch helplessly as (not literally, but he knew it was happening)his son was beaten and raped by hardened criminals. (The fact that the rapist was black was quite telling, BTW.) When young guys are sent to prison, why isn't there some kind of protection system set up with the prison managers that would look protect these kids from the lifers, killers and rapists? I don't know how these prison keepers sleep at night, knowing what is going on and that they could stop it. I know that they think that's not part of their job, but to know what's going on and just let these kids get victimized -- and almost always being infected with HIV -- is unfathomable to me, and more than that, just shameful.

Consumer Reports recently ranked the burgers and I had the opportunity to try the top two. \ \ In and Out which has been highly touted on this website was just not good, the meat was not flavorful or beefy tasting...it just seemed so lacking in every way. \ \ Even worse was the dry hockey puck served by 5 brothers. I was able to watch them cook my burger and they used the dreaded burger smasher that they claim keeps the patty bun sized in in actuality robs the patty of juice, fat, and flavor. They also REFUSED to salt my patty before placing it on the grill. If you want your meat salted it must be after cooking. The fries were nice, but the burger was all around BAD. \ \ If those are the top two I can''t imagine how disgusting McDonalds must be to rate at the bottom.
19-year-old Troye Sivan from Australia has up till now mostly been known as a child actor (he was the title star of a film trilogy co-starring John Cleese, and once played the young Wolverine) and popular YouTuber, but this week he's released his debut single, and it immediately went to the top of the iTunes charts all over the world. The same is true for his upcoming EP (on pre-orders alone). Time magazine and others are already calling him the next Bieber - but a better comparison would probably be with Lorde, since he writes his own songs, and his single has a melancholy feel to it. Though he's certainly beloved by teenage girls, who form the backbone of his fanbase - and are obviously undeterred in their fandom by the fact that he came out as gay a year ago.

Who''s gay, who''s bi? What are the secrets in the world of hip hop?
Probably one of the most tragic Hollywood stories. Hard to believe it's been more than a decade already since his suicide. Is it really true that he was suffering from depression as a side effect from some acne medication he was taking? Any gay or casting couch rumours about him?
For the first time in forever I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I work two jobs so that's rare. Can someone suggest a move (or tv show) for me to watch? Something light, perhaps funny, that doesn't require too much thought? Thanks!
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.
Is this the new word virus? "Honestly" seems to punctuate just about every conversation. Why is this needless word so omnipresent? Is it the new "literally"?

Alec Baldwin Scolded, Vows to Stay Out of Trouble in Court Appearance 11:28 AM PST 07/24/2014 by Hilary Lewis , The Associated Press The actor was told to "be a good boy from now on" by a Manhattan Criminal Court judge in his case stemming from Baldwin's May bike-riding arrest. Alec Baldwin was scolded by a judge and vowed to stay out of trouble during a Thursday court appearance in Manhattan stemming from his bike-riding arrest in May. Baldwin was charged with disorderly conduct after he allegedly got belligerent with the police officers who said they stopped him for riding a bicycle the wrong way down a one-way street. The 30 Rock alum appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court the same day as Shia LaBeouf, with whom he was set to share the Broadway stage last year in a revival of the play Orphans before LaBeouf left the show over "creative differences." Their shared court date was just a coincidence, but it paired stars who have become known for acting up, not just for acting. "Looks like you have a short fuse," Manhattan Criminal Court Judge John DeLury told Baldwin while looking over the allegations against him; they're violations, not crimes. After Baldwin repeatedly said he'd pay a fine for the May 13 encounter — though the judge said he was just asking for an apology — DeLury put the case on track to be dismissed if the actor avoids re-arrest for six months. It's a common outcome for low-level cases in Manhattan. "Can you stay out of trouble, Alexander?" DeLury asked. "Sure, sure," Baldwin said. "Be a good boy from now on. Have a good day!" After LaBeouf pulled out of Orphans, he publicly tweeted private emails from Baldwin and others involved in the show. ("Sorry for my part of a dis-agreeable situation," LaBeouf wrote to Baldwin in one message; Baldwin apparently wrote back: "I don't have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word.") Baldwin, whose career has included Emmy Awards for 30 Rock and Oscar and Tony nominations, has developed an ornery reputation in real life. A voicemail of him berating daughter Ireland Baldwin came to light in 2007 (he later said the message horrified him), he was kicked off a plane in 2011 after refusing to stop playing a cellphone game, and he's had a series of run-ins with news photographers. After using an anti-gay slur in one such encounter last fall, he was suspended from his ultimately short-lived MSNBC show; Baldwin apologized and said he hadn't meant to offend anyone. In February, Baldwin wrote a New York magazine cover story decrying tabloid coverage of his comings-and-goings in New York City, saying he probably needs to move elsewhere.

Police puzzled by dolls left on porches in California city LOS ANGELES Thu Jul 24, 2014 8:41pm EDT (Reuters) - Police said on Thursday they were investigating porcelain dolls that had been left on the doorsteps of at least eight homes in a Southern California beach city that homeowners said bore a resemblance their daughters. The dolls were found over the past week on porches in San Clemente, a community of more than 60,000 people about 65 miles southeast of Los Angeles, Orange County Sheriff's Lieutenant Jeff Hallock said in a written statement. "Families in each of the homes where porcelain dolls were left voiced concern that the dolls resembled their daughters," Hallock said. He said the dolls had been collected as evidence and were being examined to determine their origin for clues as to who had left them.

Just listened to the title track tonight, but still really feeling West Coast. My husband and I were out in LA from NYC last april for a wedding. We stayed at the Andaz hotel on Sunset Blvd. Our room wasn't ready so they were nice enough to offer an upgrade that would put us in a room that faced downtown LA. We opted for a higher floor that actually faced the back, the Hollywood Hills. Boy was it beautiful. One night we turned off the lights, opened the curtains and just looked out over all the homes lit up in the Hills and played Lana's West Coast. It was just perfect, considering she references Robert Plant's "Golden God" cry from the balcony of the "Riot Hyatt" which is now the Andaz.

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

This is from his famous Radio City stage show--he enters on a camel about 1:00 into this after the Rockettes dance, and then shakes the maracas and sings one of his best known songs, "I Go to Rio."\ \ WHY was he a star? He didn''t have a good voice at all, he wasn''t handsome, and he was balding and femme and wore horrible cheesy clothes. I can never watch him and understand why he was such a big deal.
let''s not even get into the fact they don;t have camels in Rio...
Toronto's crack smoking mayor Rob Ford held his annual bbq yesterday. Some in the LGBTQ were not happy with his policies (like voting no to a LGBTQ homeless shelter) decided to crash the bbq. Mayor Ford supporters were not happy to see the protest and hurled homophobic slurs at the protesters, one even being assaulted. “We were just standing there being gay holding signs ... This was an unprovoked situation where we did very little engaging with them,” said Brian De Matos on Saturday, a day after the massive Ford family barbecue. The mayor's brother Doug Ford said the LGBT protesters only had themselves to blame, as they brought it on themselves. “You can’t go into any event, a sporting event even, taunting people. I don’t agree with (what happened) but something’s going to happen. “Numerous people said he was looking for trouble.”

A new report says that David Gregory is toast as host of Meet The Press and that Chuck Todd and Joe Scarborough are battling to replace him. Lloyd Grove at The Daily Beast followed up on yesterday’s report on Gregory’s expected dumping from Meet The Press: In multiple conversations that I had with people inside and outside NBC after the item appeared, it was taken as a given that Gregory is toast. … In multiple conversations that I had with people inside and outside NBC, it was taken as a given that Gregory is toast. The principal pretenders to the MTP throne are NBC News’ chief White House correspondent and political director, Chuck Todd—who anchors The Daily Rundown, MSNBC’s weekday 9 a.m. show—and the cohosts of the three-hour-long Morning Joe program that precedes it, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. According to my sources, Scarborough, 51, a Washington-savvy former Republican congressman from Florida, and Brzezinski, 47, the supremely well-connected daughter of former White House national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, have been aggressively angling for the job in the event of Gregory’s all-but-certain demise. NBC can keep denying it, but it is obvious that someone is sowing the seeds for David Gregory’s firing. Joe Scarborough posted a tweet stating that the story is false: There have been numerous stories with NBC News sources saying that Mika and I have been “aggressively angling” for MTP. That is false. It is possible, but not probable that two stories in two days that quote people inside NBC saying that David Gregory is going to be fired could be wrong, but it seems like a mighty big coincidence that both of these stories also named Todd and Scarborough as the two that are vying to replace him. Joe Scarborough would be a disaster for Meet The Press. MTP likes at least to create the illusion of playing it down the middle. There is no mistaking where the former Republican congressman comes from. If a report from last year is to be believed, NBC is seriously considering changing Meet The Press so that it would be more like Morning Joe. Chuck Todd wouldn’t be much of departure from what David Gregory is doing now. Todd is a frequent panelist on Meet The Press, and he is loaded with the same Beltway groupthink that plagues Gregory’s version of the show. NBC would be wise to go out of house to bring in a fresh voice for the program, but they seem hellbent on taking one of their least popular talents on MSNBC and elevating them to Meet The Press. Gregory’s stint on the show has been bad, but replacing him with a Chuck Todd or Joe Scarborough could be even worse.

I mean ones that have an obvious penis headed tip. I would think it would be tough for a lesbian to take their minds off of the fact that they''re using something that is shaped like a man''s tool. It''s amazing the lesbians that are able to have sex with strap-ons. I mean, it''s essentially male. How could you get off to that? Gay guys aren''t running out buying flesh lights molded into vaginas. Lesbians really don''t have much I guess. Women are really designed for something phallic. Men have always been able to get off with men or women if they chose. Both have holes, and if you''re a guy who wishes to get fucked, a guy has that for you too. \ \ Of course lesbians could simply use a tongue or a clit stimulator. Guys can get flesh lights molded into tight assholes, and dildos are perfectly designed for them. Too bad lesbians can''t really get away with something that has some sort of male linkage. Bottom line, guys have way more options. So unfair. :(

(Reuters) - U.S. telecommunications regulators on Thursday formally proposed new "net neutrality" rules that may let Internet service providers charge content companies for faster and more reliable delivery of their traffic to users. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler has come under fire from consumer advocates and technology companies for proposing to allow some "commercially reasonable" deals in which content companies could pay broadband providers to prioritize traffic on their networks. Wheeler's two fellow Democrats at the FCC concurred with him for a 3-2 vote to advance the proposal and begin formally collecting public comment, though they expressed misgivings about the plan. "I believe the process that got us to this rulemaking today is flawed. I would have preferred a delay. I think we moved too fast to be fair," said Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel. "The real call to action begins after the vote today," said Commissioner Mignon Clyburn. "This is your opportunity to formally make your points on the record. You have the ear of the entire FCC. The eyes of the world are on all of us." Critics worry the rules would create "fast lanes" for companies that pay up and slower traffic for others, although Wheeler has pledged to prevent "acts to divide the Internet between 'haves' and 'have nots.'" The FCC's proposal tentatively concludes that some pay-for-priority deals may be allowed, but asks whether "some or all" such deals should be banned and how to ensure paid prioritization does not relegate any traffic to "slow lanes." "I will not allow the national asset of an open Internet to be compromised. I understand this issue in my bones," said Wheeler, formerly a private equity investor and cable industry lobbyist. "Simply put, when a consumer buys a specified bandwidth, it is commercially unreasonable and thus a violation of this proposal to deny them the full connectivity and the full benefits that connection enables." More than 100 activists protested at the FCC, with signs reading "Liberate the Internet" and "Keep the Internet Free." four onlookers were escorted out of the meeting room for shouting protests. Consumer advocates want the FCC to reclassify Internet providers as utilities, like telephone companies, rather than as the less-regulated information services they are now. Opponents have told Wheeler that stricter regulations would throw the industry into legal limbo, discourage investment in network infrastructure and still not prevent pay-for-priority deals. Numerous technology companies, including Google Inc and Facebook Inc, have spoken out against allowing pay-for-priority, although they have not called for reclassification.
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)

I recently read a quote from some writer that travelling to America was like travelling to the future. He was English and I think he was referring to going there in the '50s from Britain. & it reminded me of being a child in the '70s and going to America from England and it really was very futuristic to me. So many things Americans took for granted in the mid-'70s didn't become part of our lives in Europe until years later. Multi channel all night TV. Shopping malls. Touch tone telephones. Places delivering food to your door. Late night shopping. Vast supermarkets...drive thru food places. McDonalds etc... I'm wondering if America is still way ahead of the rest of the world in so many ways....or is the great difference now something of the past, especially in relation/comparison to Europe?

(NOT BETTING ON IT, THOUGH) To start this thread off: this is not a paean he said peen, huh huh huh) to prison rape. Not at all. I just watched the movie "Snitch" starring the Rock. I know this was fiction, but we all know it happens every day. He had to watch helplessly as (not literally, but he knew it was happening)his son was beaten and raped by hardened criminals. (The fact that the rapist was black was quite telling, BTW.) When young guys are sent to prison, why isn't there some kind of protection system set up with the prison managers that would look protect these kids from the lifers, killers and rapists? I don't know how these prison keepers sleep at night, knowing what is going on and that they could stop it. I know that they think that's not part of their job, but to know what's going on and just let these kids get victimized -- and almost always being infected with HIV -- is unfathomable to me, and more than that, just shameful.

“Lucky Me: My Life With – and Without – My Mom, Shirley MacLaine." Uh-oh...

Looking forward to this. I hope it's trashy.

Some comments in another thread made me want to post this…someone talked about a guy who gets super hard right before cumming.

Just watched Emmanuelle for the first time and while most of it is silly and dated, the scene where she has sex with two men on the airplane is very erotic. Maybe because the annoying music cuts out and all we hear is the hum of the plane? The two guys were hot.

%0D Ryan O'Neal is looking to reunite with estranged daughter Tatum -- while the cameras are rolling, of course. %0D Ryan and Tatum O'Neal are the stars of "Lost and Found," a docusoap set to be pitched to networks in the coming days by Endemol USA. %0D %0D Tatum O'Neal has already moved into her father's Malibu home, and together the two have launched their attempts at reconciliation. %0D %0D It's not going to be easy -- they've been icy toward each other for 25 years -- but that will likely make for good TV. %0D %0D Impetus for the reconciliation came after the death of Ryan O'Neal's on-again, off-again love, Farrah Fawcett, last year. Now, the duo will undergo therapy together, and also attempt to get to the root of the resentment that Tatum has held toward her father. %0D %0D "From the moment I met Ryan and Tatum, I knew they were genuine about telling their real story," said Endemol North America chairman David Goldberg. "Of course they've had their share of trials and tribulations that have been very public, but ultimately this comes down to a father-daughter story that viewers will be able to relate to on many different levels." %0D %0D R. Greg Johnston is on board to exec produce "Lost and Found." Johnston knows a thing or two about chronicling dysfunctional relationships, having also been a part of "The Osbournes" and "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica." %0D %0D Endemol said Ryan O'Neal "is prepared to do anything to get it right this time." His dysfunctional family relationships aren't limited to Tatum; in 2007, he was arrested in connection with an assault on son Griffin. He was also arrested with son Redmond in 2008 on drug charges. %0D %0D Tatum O'Neal, meanwhile, made headlines in 2008 after being arrested for drug possession. %0D %0D "Having thought long and hard about exposing our already very public private lives, (we) came to the decision that Endemol is the company that provided the respect and professionalism we were looking for," the O'Neals said in a joint statement. %0D %0D Show will follow the two as they go on auditions, take acting lessons, explore their dating lives, head to family gatherings and meet for therapy sessions. %0D %0D Among the family dramas that will be addressed: Tatum O'Neal's decision not to invite her relatives to her wedding, and Ryan O'Neal's anger management problems. Tatum O'Neal has also written about being molested by a friend of her father's, something Ryan O'Neal has denied. %0D %0D This reps the first joint TV project for Ryan and Tatum O'Neal, who famously appeared together in the features "Paper Moon" and "Nickelodeon." Tatum O'Neal became the youngest actor to win an Academy Award when she landed the supporting actress Oscar for 1973's "Paper Moon" at age 10. Ryan O'Neal won a Golden Globe for that movie. %0D %0D Both remain active in acting: Ryan O'Neal has recently appeared on "90210," "Bones" and "Desperate Housewives," while Tatum O'Neal was in the feature "The Runaways," starred in the MyNetworkTV telenovela "Wicked Wicked Games," appeared in FX's "Rescue Me" and was a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars."

Seriously, how many celebrities have to die before their time? If anything, celebrities are at the apex of health mostly because they can afford it. Sure, some take drugs, and shit, but I know horrific junkies who make it to old age without any resources at all. They survive in the streets for decades, yet, we're supposed to believe that celebrities just keel over and die in their prime? If not that, than the proverbial plane/helicopter crash or suicide.

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.
Adrienne Barbeau and Gail Fisher vs. Arlene Golonka and Cathy Lee Crosby! Ed Asner and Henry Polic vs. Joe Campanella and Bill Macy! Joseph Campanella and Lois Nettleton vs. Richard Anderson and Ja'net DuBois! Finally, some TV shows with BALLS!

[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.

When you smoked, what were your preferred brands and why? For me it was Parliament non-menthols in high school and part of college, then Marlboro reds (shorts in the box) for a time, then a college friend smoked Benson & Hedges Menthol 100s and I was forever bumming so I started buying and smoking these cigs to pay her back. Then after college I went back to Marlboro reds (this time longs in the box) and finally I switched to Carlton 100s in the box. I smoked Carltons for over ten years and I was smoking this brand when I quit four years ago. At the time I switched to Carlton, they were the lowest tar and nicotine. I know, so what -- low tar makes no difference from a health standpoint. I don't want to pick up this expensive habit again, but in some small way I miss the ritual of smoking.

And get this: It wasn't even going to be a sex date. Instead, I'd hired him to help me buy some Ecstasy because I'm visiting Los Angeles and don't have any connections. I had agreed to pay him his regular hourly rate. Cost of the drugs wasn't part of the deal. So, as escort dates go, I think this was easy money. Basically, he was getting a $350 finders' fee. He said he had the connections, too. But when the appointed hour came Thursday night, nothing. Not even a courtesy text message to say he couldn't make it. I know, I know: Why am I surprised an escort is a flake? Well, I assumed -- incorrectly, perhaps -- that because he was a very successful porn star, that would translate into being a professional escort, too. (And I don't use the term "star" lightly, by the way. He's made more than two dozen videos over the years for big producers. He's always front-and-center in the promotional materials. Those of you who watch porn regularly would certainly recognize him. I'm not identifying him by name on the off chance he sees this; I don't want any trouble.) The job market is still weak. Wage gains have been next to nil. Is the escort business really such an exception that a guy like this can throw away an easy $350?

Well, at least it makes a change from homophobic cake shops refusing to serve us. Keep that white trash coming, Florida! "The owner of a towing company was arrested Friday and charged with illegally towing vehicles of people who took part in last month's Gay Days events in Orange County. Jason P. Combs, 44, owner of ASAP Towing, faces 29 counts of grand theft of a motor vehicle and other charges. Deputies allege he towed more than 100 vehicles June 5 to 9 from a parking lot at Westwood Town Center off International Drive, which is across the street from the event's host hotel, Doubletree by Hilton. Combs didn't have an up-to-date contract to tow vehicles or have proper signage notifying motorists the lot was a tow-away zone, deputies said. His attorney, R. David de Armas, said Combs did have a valid contract with the owner and only vehicles that were illegally parked were towed. de Armas also said the fact that it happened during Gay Days was irrelevant."

I really like a lot of this. Yes, just a bit too much knick-knacks and stuff, but not as bad as usual. Like the color scheme and fabrics. Yes, the bedroom is fairly "hotel" but I guess that doesn't bother me since I generally like nice hotel rooms. My sticking point is that he sort of blew it with the dining/room kitchen. With the small space of that one-wall kitchen, he should have scaled down the table. It's just too much, to the point where he can barely get behind the chairs to use the kitchen.

[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. Chris Grismer (Vampire Diaries) will direct the pilot and additional episodes. [quote]Commissioned by Space and produced by Temple Street Productions for Space and Syfy, the 10-episode, one-hour series will begin production in Toronto on August 5. Killjoys will premiere on Syfy and Space in 2015. [quote]In Killjoys, Hannah John-Kamen stars as the gorgeous, complicated, and deadly Dutch. A top-level Killjoy, she’s a much loved and charming presence in her community, with a unique gift for earning people’s trust and respect regardless of their class. Under her banter and protective flirtations, there is pain, maturity, and a deep solemnity resulting from a dark secret past. [quote]Aaron Ashmore takes on the role of John Jaqobis, a peacemaker who hates conflict. Cheerful and kind-hearted, John prefers not to fight, but his sarcastic wit has put him into the fray enough over the years to teach him how to do it well, and dirty. [quote]Luke Macfarlane stars as D’avin, a handsome, rugged, sarcastic, and incredibly loyal former soldier. He dreamed of enlisting in the military since boyhood, and his hard-won expertise in tactics, maneuvers and hand-to-hand combat make him an instant asset to the Killjoy team.

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.

This could be the gay porn scene of 2014. Released on men.com on August 2nd. Who's the top, Colby or Zeb?
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.

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

What should I do, and what can I do without pouring a bunch of toxic chemicals on my skin and hair?

Florida! [italic]An investigative report has linked three police officers in Florida to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a racist secret society once active in the area. George Hunnewell, David Borst and James Elkins, have all since left the Fruitland Park police force. The officers were reportedly linked to the KKK based on FBI information. Residents of Fruitland Park reported feelings of shock learning that police were members of the secret society, once politically powerful in the 1920s. 'Exceedingly unusual' "It's rather disconcerting to know," local Chery Mion told the Associated Press news agency. "I didn't think that organisation was still around." Mark Potok, a senior fellow at research organisation Southern Poverty Law Center, told the AP, "It's exceedingly unusual these days to find a police officer who is secretly a Klansman."[/italic] They're feeding our "Cops are the devil" troll.

Next time you see someone like Americans for Prosperity’s Jennifer Stefano shouting about the ridiculously generous benefits for Medicaid under Obamacare, you might want to picture Charlene Dill in your head. Charlene Dill was a 32-year-old woman who had three kids, was separated from her husband, and, with a combination of part-time jobs, was barely scraping by. She got booted off Medicaid because her princely $9000 a year was too much income — she couldn’t afford a divorce yet, so the program took her estranged husband’s income into account. And that was a problem, because Charlene Dill had a heart condition that could be managed with medication, which she couldn’t afford without Medicaid. And so on March 21, Charlene Dill died of heart failure while demonstrating a vacuum cleaner at a home in Kissimmee, Florida. She would have been covered by Medicaid if Florida had agreed to expand the program under the Affordable Care Act, but Florida’s legislature has so far blocked it, because Obamacare is bad, and handouts make people lazy. Go read the full story by Wonket friend Billy Manes at Orlando Weekly. We need to be angry about this. Dare we say it, we need to be emotional about this. People who fall into the gap between Medicaid and the level of income subsidized by the ACA are dying because they cannot get medical care. These aren’t people who are inconvenienced because they had to switch plans. These are people who are left out of the system altogether through the deliberate choice of governors and legislatures who want to score a point against Barack Obama. We will really try to put some jokes into this piece, but don’t get your hopes up too much. Charlene Dill’s best friend, Kathleen Voss Woolrich, has been employed as a temp, canvassing for the Service Employees International Union and for Planned Parenthood, getting people signed up for Medicaid or for the ACA if they qualify, so she has seen many other people in her friend’s situation: [quote]women with tumors that had yet to be treated, many chronic conditions affecting people living in the gap, and sometimes she found herself having to be the bearer of bad news. And Woolrich had been trying to raise money through online crowd-funding sources to cover Dill’s medications — she was able to cover some of the meds, but not all. After Dill’s death, Woolrich also raised $4,000 to bury her friend. Woolrich also wrote about Dill for a blog post, noting that because Dill had multiple chronic health problems but no insurance, she got such health care as she had by going to emergency rooms, where she’d get her most serious problems addressed, at high cost to everyone, but an ER is no place to treat a chronic condition. [quote]You see the main argument Republicans use is that its some lazy person who needs medicaid expansion. That those of us living without healthcare or dental care are lazy. But my friend a single beautiful mother worked 3 jobs. She paid taxes. She paid her house taxes. And now shes dead Florida Republicans are not planning to address Medicaid expansion this year. There’s an election, after all. Oh, look, we neglected to make this post funny. Our bad.
Yes, Red States, Not Expanding Medicaid Is Actually Killing People. But You Knew That.
Sorry, but Spirit was a great band years ahead of its time. It mixed jazz with psychedelia. Just because Colbert never heard of them or of Randy California doesn't mean Spirit sucked. They were musicians who greatly influenced other bands. Obviously, they greatly influenced Led Zeppelin Randy California was 16 years old when Spirit's first album was released. He'd been playing with Jimmy Hendrix's band when he was 14 years old. He was asked to go with Hendrix to England on Hendrix's European tour but his mother prevented it do that he could finish high school. Not well played, Stephen

Because they think they're a force for change. The only force FIFA exerts is suction to extract money from those willing to bribe and corporations willing to sponsor. FFS, Russia could barely deal with one Champions League final in Moscow. And it looks like players will be expected to play and train in 110 degree heat in Qatar in 2022. ZURICH -- FIFA has rejected calls to move the 2018 World Cup from Russia, saying the tournament "can achieve positive change." Russia's alleged involvement in shooting down a Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine last week prompted calls from some lawmakers in Germany to review the country's hosting rights. On Friday, FIFA issued a statement saying it "deplores any form of violence" and would support only peaceful, democratic debate about the World Cup. "History has shown so far that boycotting sport events or a policy of isolation or confrontation are not the most effective ways to solve problems," FIFA said, adding that global attention on the World Cup "can be a powerful catalyst for constructive dialogue between people and governments." The conflict between Ukraine and pro-Russia separatist rebels escalated days after the World Cup ended in Brazil. On July 13 in Rio de Janeiro, Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a World Cup hosting hand-over ceremony with Brazilian counterpart Dilma Rousseff. Both then sat next to FIFA president Sepp Blatter to watch the final at the Maracana Stadium, won by Germany. FIFA, which has Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko on its executive committee, said a World Cup in the country "can be a force for good." "FIFA believes this will be the case for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia," the governing body said. Blatter already rejected calls to strip Russia of the tournament after it annexed Crimea this year. "The World Cup has been given and voted to Russia and we are going forward with our work," Blatter said in March. In a separate statement Friday, Mutko said a United States-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow had been a mistake. "So there's no sense in reacting to politicians trying to make names for themselves," Mutko told Russian news agency R-Sport. "We're preparing in a calm way, building facilities, getting ready for the World Cup." Russia has announced a $20 billion budget for building and renovating 12 stadiums, and other construction projects, for the first World Cup to be held in eastern Europe. "FIFA has stated many times that sport should be outside politics," Mutko said. "Hosting an event like this, we're doing it for athletes from all over the world, for footballers, for the fans."

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?
Up today on Vanity Fair is an excerpt from Molly Bloom’s book, Molly’s Game: From Hollywood’s Elite to Wall Street’s Billionaire Boys Club, My High-Stakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker. It documents her time running a high-stakes poker game for celebrities and wealthy people in the Viper Room, and if the rest of the book is half as interesting as the excerpt, it’s bound to be a fascinating insight into particular celebrities who like to gamble for huge sums of money. She only uses first names, but some of the celebrities named are obvious: Ben Affleck, Leo DiCaprio, and Tobey Maguire. From the four-page excerpt provided Affleck and DiCaprio seem as you’d expect them to seem: Likable and friendly. Tobey Maguire, on the other hand, not so much. He seems to be akin to the villain of the novel: A controlling dick who won the most money and left the smallest tips. While it was Molly’s weekly game, Tobey clearly had a lot of control over it. At one point, he brought his $17,000 card-shuffling machine and insisted it be used, but then insisted on charging Molly a $200 rental fee each time it was. He always left the smallest tips, and when he lost, he blew his cool. One particular scene in the excerpt stands out. It was a very, very high stakes poker game that included Affleck, where the buy-in was $50,000 and the amount of money on the table at one point was $2 million. Maguire, however, was not having a good night, but after knocking out one of the players, Jamie, he decided to assert his power over Molly, who I should mention was a 26-year-old cocktail waitress before she began putting these games together. “You have to cut Jamie off, you know.” “I know,” I said, counting Tobey’s chips. He held a thousand-dollar chip in his hand. He flipped it over a couple times in his fingers. “This is yours,” he said, holding it out. “Thanks, Tobey,” I said, reaching my hand out. He yanked the chip back at the last second. “If … ” he said. “If you do something to earn these thousand dollars.” His voice was loud enough that some of the guys looked up to see what was happening. I laughed, trying not to show my nerves. “What do I want you to do?” he said, as if he were pondering. The whole table was watching us now. “I know!” he said. “Get up on that desk and bark like a seal.” I looked at him. His face was lit up like it was Christmas Eve. “Bark like a seal who wants a fish,” he said. I laughed again, stalling, hoping he would play the joke out by himself and leave. “I’m not kidding. What’s wrong? You’re too rich now? You won’t bark for a thousand dollars? Wowwww … you must be really rich.” My face was burning. The room was silent. “C’mon,” he said, holding the chip above my head. “BARK.” “No,” I said quietly. “No?” he asked. “Tobey,” I said, “I’m not going to bark like a seal. Keep your chip.” My face was on fire. I knew he would be angry, especially because he had now engaged the whole audience, and I wasn’t playing his game. I was embarrassed, but I was also angry. After all I had done to accommodate this guy, I was also shocked. I had made sure I ran every detail of every game by him, changed the stakes for him, structured tournaments around him, memorized every ingredient in every vegan dish in town for him. He had won millions and millions of dollars at my table, and I had catered to his every need along the way—and now he seemed to want to humiliate me. He kept pushing it, his voice growing louder and louder. The other guys were starting to look uncomfortable. “No,” I said, again, willing him to drop it. He gave me an icy look, dropped the chip on the table, and tried to laugh it off, but he was visibly angry. Wow. What a f**king dick. That sounds exactly like a scene out of a mafia movie, and to anyone that’s ever seen some of Maguire’s more intense roles (Brothers, for instance), you can absolutely picture Maguire’s face. F**king asshole.

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?

Tony Cardenas took the increasing sniping between Democrats and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa to new and more sarcastic heights on Friday, sending out a press release calling on the chairman to install a pool in the committee's hearing room. "... It is clearly obvious that witches can only be found by dunking them in water," Cardenas wrote in a press release directed at Issa on Friday. "If they float they're a witch. If they don't, installing a pool will allow us to retrieve the non-witch before he or she drowns." Further ribbing Issa, Cardenas went on to suggest that the pool be christened the "Senator Joseph R. McCarthy Memorial Truth Pond."
How big do you think it is? I bet it''s pretty veiny.
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.
A Florida state senator plans to introduce a bill that would make Dinesh D'Souza's docudrama, America, required viewing for most teenagers in the state, The Hollywood Reporter learned on Friday. Republican Alan Hays said he’ll introduce in November his one-page bill that simply states that students in the 1,700 Florida public high schools and middle schools are to be shown the film unless their parents object. The plan is sure to draw fire from liberals not only because D’Souza is a prominent conservative but because he is also behind the movie, 2016: Obama’s America, which is a profoundly negative take on Democratic U.S. president Barack Obama. America, the movie, espouses a conservative point of view toward telling history. D'Souza takes on leftist arguments that portray the U.S. in a negative light, and he specifically attacks Howard Zinn, author of the book A People’s History of the United States, often considered the most widely used history book in U.S. academia. The movie shows actors Matt Damon and Woody Harrelson praising the book. Hays said the purpose of his proposal is to introduce more balance into Florida schools. “I saw the movie and walked out of the theater and said, ‘Wow, our students need to see this.’ And it’s my plan to show it to my colleagues in the legislature, too, before they’re asked to vote on the bill,” Hays said. Those who oppose the plan are also likely to point out that D’Souza could be headed to prison after he pleaded guilty to illegally promising to reimburse some people who donated to a friend’s Senate campaign. D’Souza faces up to two years for that transgression and he will be sentenced in September. Nevertheless, the bill could pass, given that Republicans hold a substantial majority in Florida’s Senate and House of Representatives, and Gov. Rick Scott is also a Republican. “I’ve looked at history books and talked to history teachers and the message the students are getting is very different from what is in the movie,” Hays said. “It’s dishonest and insulting. The students need to see the truth without political favoritism.” To that end, Hays said he wouldn’t object if teachers paired America with a liberal film to show the political differences. Indeed, many schools already show Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and some of Michael Moore’s left-leaning films, though it’s certainly more unusual to actually require the viewing of a particular movie, as Hays intends with his bill. “The most dreaded disease in America today is political correctness. We need to inform our students of our whole history, and teach them how to think, not what to think,” Hays said. “Let them talk with their teachers, their peers and their parents, then draw their own conclusions. But they need both sides, and this movie shows a side they just aren’t seeing.” Hays said his intent is to reach out to charitable groups that would supply schools with the necessary copies of the movie so as not to burden Florida taxpayers.
