An unfortunate trend with no end in sight!
Orlando Bloom got in Justin Bieber's face early Wednesday morning in Ibiza ... and Justin fled the restaurant -- and one eyewitness says Orlando threw a punch. The eyewitness tells TMZ ... Orlando was in Cipriani restaurant which was packed with celebs, including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Diddy. Listen closely as you watch the video. It sounds like Justin, in the middle of a shoving match, screams, "What's up bitch?" You don't see Orlando swing, but the eyewitness tells us that's exactly what happened. And we're told when Bieber left the crowd applauded. The backstory is almost legendary ... Justin partied with Orlando's then-wife Miranda Kerr after a 2012 Victoria's Secret fashion show in NYC and they got very VERY close. And in April of this year, Orlando was hanging out with Justin's on-and-off GF Selena Gomez. So the bad blood is flowing.
He says that she is too in love with fame and thinks too highly of herself. Hollywood’s princess has reportedly been dumped. After three-years of an on-again, off-again romance, Jennifer Lawrence, 23, and her “X-Men” co-star, Nicholas Hoult, have reportedly called their romance quits, TheFIX reports. According to the gossip site, Hoult, 24, dumped Lawrence over her “exploded ego” and “obsession” with Hollywood. “He hates how in love with fame Jen is and he told her he hates dating an A-list actress,” said one source. “They are still talking but Nicholas is moving on.” According to the report, Lawrence is reportedly “desperately” trying to get back with her two-time co-star, an attempt which may be in vain. “She’s worked so hard for her achievements and she’s so proud of her career. But Nic wants a more low-key girlfriend,” said a source, citing model and actress Riley Keough as his ideal future love interest. The break up rumors follow Page Six’s report that Hoult was seen flirting with Keough, 25, at No.8’s “Philo Prom” party July 23. According to an eyewitness the pair was spotted “siting arm-in-arm“ and “looked cozy,” at the star-studded soiree. Following their flirtation fest, insiders claim that the British film star is pursuing Keough in his native stomping grounds. “Riley is into acting in indies and not playing the fame game. She also spends a huge amount of time in the UK because her mom Lisa Marie Presely lives there,” said a source, adding, “Nic dated Riley when he and Jen were on their first break and he is ready to give their relationship a shot.” Lawrence and Hoult first started dating in 2011 after meeting on the set of “X-Men: First Class.” The duo separated in February 2012 only to reconcile just six months later during the production of “X-Men Days of Future Past.” Hoult last spoke out about his romance with Lawrence in March, telling V Man magazine he felt like her “bystander in many ways.” In May, Lawrence spoke of her British beau to Marie Claire magazine, saying, “When we're busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn't text back or call. Life's super-busy.”

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.

can people tell where you're from? (I mean from your accent, obviously). To my English ears...there also seems to be a non-regional generic American accent that can be heard all over the country...the one that sounds sort of Irish. Also, does your accent give clues as to your social class?

I've been watching a bunch. I have to say that there are a lot of great gay foreign films. Back in the day they were bloody awful! Can we make a list of good/great ones we should all track down and watch? These can be American or non-American films, btw. The indie ones seem to be really great.
Qaud and Mariah no longer friends. Dr. Simone is Broke.. Dr. Jackie is fighting mad... and Kari demoted to "friend of Toya"...oh my,

I'm scared of it. I've worked for a couple of years but only once did I have a 9 to 5 full time single job. And I fucking hated it. Since then I got a degree and worked several different jobs at the same time. I don't mind working at all, I'm just worried that I will struggle with one job, Monday to Friday, 42 hours per week. How were your experiences? Your first real 9 to 5 job? Did you struggle to adjust?

I've been wondering whether this movie will be a big flop, or a mega hit. Well, this trailer makes me think the latter. If it is half a funny, half as exciting and half as stylish as this trailer it will be a HUGE HIT. Marvel is doing it right.

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

A poster on the "Poppy Bush" thread asked me to start a new thread about the CIA links between the JFK murder, Bush 1&2, Clinton and Obama. Just to deflect any trolls from calling me a "Freeper" and accusing me of slandering the Dems, do not forget- Bush Sr was the director of the CIA, and was chosen for Reagan (against his better judgment) as Veep. It was "choose Bush as VP, or else"! Let's focus on the current administration and work our way back. There is substantial circumstantial evidence that Obama's mother, grandmother, father, and stepfather were all CIA operatives. Since the CIA never comments on current or former agents, and is highly secretive about everything, confirming the evidence is a futile exercise. His mother, Ann Dunham, worked for several CIA front companies. His bio-dad worked for a CIA funded anti-commie group that trained Africans to fight the USSR. His stepdad, Lolo, was an operative in Indonesia, and helped stage a coup of the president. His grandmother, Madelyn, worked for a CIA controlled bank in Hawaii that laundered money for the CIA. His mom and dad met in a Russian language course...run by the CIA. All of these assertions can be confirmed with a quick Google search. Free country? Only if you're a complacent, ignorant tool.

What's happening?
Since the news broke last week, the size and scope of the IRS investigations has gotten bigger. At least 471 groups have come forward with proof that they were targeted with "non-standard" paperwork, liberal organization ProPublica has revealed that they were given confidential files on "Tea Party" groups, at least 3 offices have been positively identified as working together on the anti-TP project, and today it was revealed that the administration was made aware of this scandal in JUNE, 2012. Now, imagine that this was a Republican administration. If you defend this kind of systematic, systemic and sinister abuse of government power then you cannot be surprised or outraged when the "Other Side" uses the same tactics to target progressive groups. Unless this scandal is fully investigated, and all involved- up to the executive level- are tried, convicted and imprisoned for gross abuse of power, then it will happen again.

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

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!

Looks like it's a race between New York and New Jersey to see whose Governor gets indicted first. [bold]U.S. Attorney Warns Cuomo on Ethics Case[/bold] In an escalation of the confrontation between the United States attorney in Manhattan, Preet Bharara, and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo over the governor’s cancellation of his own anticorruption commission, Mr. Bharara has threatened to investigate the Cuomo administration for possible obstruction of justice or witness tampering. The warning, in a sharply worded letter from Mr. Bharara’s office, came after several members of the panel issued public statements defending the governor’s handling of the panel, known as the Moreland Commission, which Mr. Cuomo created last year with promises of cleaning up corruption in state politics but shut down abruptly in March. Mr. Bharara’s office has been investigating the shutdown of the commission, and pursuing its unfinished corruption cases, since April. At least some of those statements were prompted by calls from the governor or his emissaries, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation who were unwilling to be named for fear of reprisal. One commissioner who received a call from an intermediary on behalf of the governor’s office said he found the call upsetting and declined to make a statement. The letter from prosecutors, which was read to The New York Times, says, “We have reason to believe a number of commissioners recently have been contacted about the commission’s work, and some commissioners have been asked to issue public statements characterizing events and facts regarding the commission’s operation.”“To the extent anyone attempts to influence or tamper with a witness’s recollection of events relevant to our investigation, including the recollection of a commissioner or one of the commission’s employees, we request that you advise our office immediately, as we must consider whether such actions constitute obstruction of justice or tampering with witnesses that violate federal law.” Reached late Wednesday night, a spokesman for the governor did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter from Mr. Bharara’s office. A lawyer for the commission declined to comment on the letter. The Times reported last week that Mr. Cuomo’s office had deeply compromised the panel’s work, objecting when it focused on groups with political ties to Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat who is seeking re-election, or on issues that might reflect poorly on him. The Times’s article prompted condemnations from government watchdog groups and newspaper editorial boards. Mr. Cuomo, facing perhaps the harshest scrutiny of his three and a half years as governor, remained out of public view for five days as criticism mounted. Late Sunday night, Mr. Cuomo’s office announced that he would make an appearance in Buffalo on Monday morning, setting in motion what appeared to be a coordinated effort by Mr. Cuomo and his aides to present a defense for their conduct. Just hours before Mr. Cuomo faced reporters, one of the co-chairs of the commission, William J. Fitzpatrick, released a three-page statement in which he asserted that “nobody ‘interfered’ with me or my co-chairs.” Facing questions from the news media, Mr. Cuomo repeatedly cited the statement by Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Onondaga County district attorney. The governor called the statement “very helpful,” explaining that Mr. Fitzpatrick “knows better than anyone else what happened with the Moreland Commission.” “Now we have facts that we can actually deal with, right?” Mr. Cuomo said. Mr. Fitzpatrick’s statement seemed at odds with frustration he had expressed to colleagues last year; in one email reported by The Times, he wrote that Mr. Cuomo’s office “needs to understand this is an INDEPENDENT commission and needs to be treated as such.” Mr. Cuomo dismissed that email as “snippets of conversations.” [more at link]

Her exact cause of death is unclear, but, according to reports, she was found with 'dozens of white pills' scattered around her vehicle. Ms Barrymore's struggles with addiction have been well documented. She was discovered by a neighbour, Marta Lopez, who unsuccessfully tried to revive her, reports ABC's local 10 News. Tomorrow would be Jessica's 48th birthday. The Barrymore family have not yet commented on the tragedy.

I was caught with a neighbor kid at five totally naked and feeling each other up. Our mothers freaked out - and I mean REALLY freaked out. We kept doing it to the point where we weren't allowed to see one another. We both had different stories as to what happened. We at one point actually kiss each other's cocks. I have no idea why. My mother's freaking out messed me up sexually later on and took a lot of time to get over it. I felt like a total perv because of it. Did any of you do sort of the same thing? And btw, not with an older guy. I know how many stories we've gotten on here about that. Did you get caught with the other kid? As far as I know, my friend didn't turn out to be gay. Me, on the other hand, turned out to be a big mo. We don't speak to one another, not because of what happened, it's just been so long.
I posted the other three current TV polls (Alice/One Day at a Time, Cheers/Frasier, Love Boat/Fantasy Island), and I thought this would be another fun one, between these two workplace comedies.
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.

According to a depressing Playbill article, Stephen Sondheim has acceded to the censorial demands of the Walt Disney Company and made significant changes to the forthcoming big-screen version of INTO THE WOODS. Though this is easily Sondheim's most accessible show, the sexual innuendo that gives the musical a bit of a charge has been toned down at Disney's request. This explains director Rob Marshall's casting of the very young Lilla Crawford as Little Red Riding Hood; the studio probably had zero interest in presenting Johnny Depp as a libidinous Big Bad Wolf, and so the relationship between predator and prey will be nice and staid. As George S. Kaufman famously said, "Staid sells. That's why all those assholes went to see STATE FAIR." Additionally, the affair between the Baker's Wife (Emily Blunt) and the Prince (Chris Pine) has been altered in that they no longer have an actual affair. And if you're wondering what this means for "Any Moment", the terrific number that bookends their dalliance, well, it means it's probably out of the show. Also, Rapunzel doesn't die in this version because perfect creative achievements need to be ruined.

BY DANIEL REYNOLDS/OUT TRAVELER In the past decade, neighborhoods like the Castro and Chelsea have experienced a sizable drop in gay and lesbian residents. Historic gay neighborhoods are flying fewer rainbow flags than in previous years. A new study, led by sociologist Amin Ghaziani of the University of British Columbia, finds that U.S. districts like the Castro in San Francisco, Boystown in Chicago, and Chelsea in New York have fewer same-sex couples than a decade beforehand, reports UBC News. Ghaziani’s statistics, which will be published in his book There Goes the Gayhorhood, show an 8 percent decrease in gay men and a 13 percent decrease in lesbians in these locations over this time. The research also demonstrates a rise in the number of heterosexual households in traditionally gay locales, which Ghaziani attributes to gentrification as well as rising acceptance of gays and lesbians in across the country. Conversely, gay people are flocking to traditionally straight neighborhoods, with small enclaves forming around select school districts. Ghaziani finds that LGBT households have cropped up across 93 percent of U.S. counties. While acknowledging that this shift in demographics is evidence of the progress of the LGBT rights movement in recent years, Ghaziani warns that the abandoning of “gayborhoods” could result in the loss of shared culture, community, and political clout. “Gay neighborhoods have been crucial to the struggle for freedom, and have produced globally important contributions, from politics, to poetry, to music, and fashion,” he said. “The growing acceptance of same-sex couples underlying these findings is extremely positive, but it is important that we continue to find meaningful ways to preserve these culturally important spaces.”

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

Channing is still a shit actor but his charisma more than makes up for it. I don't hate Jonah the way some of you trolls do and I thought he was funny and pretty self-depracating. Hell, even Ice Cube was funny, and I wasn't even high. However the villlinness, can't think of her name- stole the movie. The comedy is very meta. I highly recommend.

What''s her story? It''s unusual for a soap star to cross over to tv/movies. Suddenly she is everywhere. Biggest Loser. Allergy Medicine ads. Print ads. I never thought of her as the main attraction for Days fans, but she must have a huge fanbase. I watched Days when she was the bitchy teenager causing trouble in Salem. I just never expected her to have such career longevity. My guess is she''s a really nice person. Anyone have any insider information?

Joao Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto both are still alive, although they're not performing at all. The bossa nova recordings up to the ealry 1960s are so cool - they manage to be dated and fresh at the same time. At first you think you're hearing elevator music, because the farther it gets from samba it seems distilled, but then you hear the jazz in it - the complexity within the simple form. And then later bossa nova heats up - I guess nothing Brazilian can keep the temperature down for long. Any other listeners of Brazilian music?

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

[italic]Researchers in the US studied 36 dogs and found that most were indifferent when their owners ignored them and read aloud from a children's pop-up book. But when the owners showered their attention on a stuffed dog – or even played with a bucket with a face painted on the side – the dogs' behaviour changed dramatically. Video footage showed that when owners petted the stuffed toy, which barked and wagged its tail for effect, their dogs growled more and sometimes snapped and forced their way between the toy and their owner. A quarter of the dogs snapped at the stuffed animal, while only one snapped at the book and the bucket.[/italic] LOL

Minus the Crostini as I didn't want bread. I had these lovely young eggplants and didn't want it grilled or Parm so I looked around for something different. OMG did it come out great. I like it with a little more vinegar and sugar than the recipe but other than that I followed it. The most interesting part is adding cocoa. It works and you would never know it is in there. It makes a great small side as it is sweet but so delicious.

We go a few times per year and just got back from another long weekend. It''s become Palm Springs east. Lots and lots of older gays have moved-in and seem to have taken over.\ \ I don''t have an issue with older guys, I''m no spring chicken myself at 33, but the entire town seems to have taken on a different feel the last couple of years. While many of the crowds this summer were much of the same, much older guys are showing up. Some of them are the old crusty muscle daddies and some are just ancient. Lots of mimosa drinking happening, so many of the year-round townies appear to be mid 40s and up, lots of sneering and bitching about how they''re tired of the "tourists", etc. (we know several locals).\ \ What used to be a vibrant, diverse gay resort town has become God''s waiting room for fugly, sour faced old gays. I''m expecting piano bars specializing in Shirley Temples to dominate Commercial Street by this time next year.

Oh, the sad, sad Republican party and their pathetic attempts to discredit the administration are once again foiled. In recent weeks we have watched a number of right-wing manufactured scandals drown in seas of facts. It was very entertaining, to say the least. First, the hopes of the Republicans to impeach Obama with Benghazi-gate were dashed. And, of course, Fox was being unfairly targeted by Obama with the Rosen scandal. Then Umbrella-gate was quelled almost as fast as it rose. After umbrella-gate, we had the stupidest of them all…..Salute-gate. Finally, the scandal that got Republican’s tinfoil panties in a bunch? The targeting of Tea Party groups by Obama’s liberal IRS hit squad out of Cincinnati. Oh yes, President Obama was targeting his political enemies by denying them the 501(c)(4) tax exemption that they so rightfully don’t deserve! How dare he do that?! After all, the conservative groups that were targeted for extra scrutiny were not, first and foremost, political organizations! Those Tea Party groups operate exclusively for social welfare; they are upstanding nonprofit organizations that spend little time lobbying for the right-wing. Right? Oh no, that’s wrong, but in the minds of members of the Republican party who really care about those pesky fact-thingys? This was definitely an elaborate scheme by the left to silence the right. Those IRS agents were liberal, no doubt about it, and the transcripts of the investigation recently released will prove it. Representative Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee conducting the probe into the ‘scandal,’ told CNN’s “State of the Union” program, said just that: “He [the IRS manager] is a conservative Republican working for the IRS. I think this interview and these statements go a long way toward showing that the White House was not involved in this. Based upon everything I’ve seen, the case is solved. And if it were me, I would wrap this case up and move on.” Wait a second…….he, the main agent involved, was a conservative? That can’t be right! That has to mean that this was in no way politically motivated. A Republican wouldn’t go after its own. So why did he do it? John Shafer, the IRS manager, told the Oversight Committee that he and another employee set aside applications from groups with “Tea Party” and “patriot” in their names because granting them tax-exempt status could set a new precedent for the IRS. In other words, he was just doing the job he is paid to do, to make sure that groups are not wrongfully receiving an exempt status they do not deserve. It should also be noted that, so far, no conservative groups have come forward to say they were denied the tax-exemption. Of course, Republicans will surely say that the manager is not a Republican. He is an undercover Democrat. Or his party affiliation proves nothing, he could still have been working in cahoots with the president. Except that investigators asked him if this was a scheme by the White House to target conservative groups and he said: “I do not believe that the screening of these cases had anything to do, other than consistency and identifying issues that needed to have further development,” the manager answered, according to a transcript released by Cummings. Asked if he believed the White House was involved, the manager replied: “I have no reason to believe that.” There you have it, folks. One more right-wing, tinfoil hate scandal totally debunked. Certainly we will hear Fox News relaying all of this information to their listening audience later. I’m sure they’ll want to set the record straight, right? HAHAHA!!! No, more than likely we will hear crickets from the mainstream media. Republican attack dog, Darrell Issa, is already saying this proves nothing. Of course it doesn’t! Republicans will, no doubt, continue to waste our money investigating a fairy tale just as they always do and, at this point do, we expect anything less?

Hi, Bill Greves, Susie Lee's friend who started her on Datalounge after a big surgery she had a couple of years ago.%0D %0D I haven't been on DL for a long time. Apparently the board has undergone some changes and when Susie tried to get back on to post one day, she couldn't find her thread, couldn't bring it up in a search, nothing, so she just gave up.%0D %0D She is currently with her son, his wife, and new granddaughter Elizabeth in Italy (her son works for a company in the U.S. but has to go to Milan occasionally). I spoke with her on New Year's, and she has requested that I post and tell everyone hello, she hopes you had a wonderful holiday season and have a spectacular new year. When she and I are together at some time, we'll try to get her back to posting if any of her posting friends are still around. She wanted to be remembered to everyone.I realize she doesn't know you, but I think she felt like she did. I apologize for not posting sooner but I have been frantic lately. TY for helping her during what was a sedentary and lonely time for her. She would still love to be in touch. I'll try and get her there when she returns. Bill

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.

Henry Cavill Makes Ben Affleck Look Like An Old Man At The 2014 Comic Con!
From Salon: I was in a bar in Chicago when I told a close friend of 20 years that, despite being a lesbian, I was marrying a man. My friend and I hadn’t seen each other in a while, but we fell back quickly into our old intimacy — those long, rambling conversations we used to have in coffee shops all over Minneapolis. When the subject shifted to an activist group she was part of, I said I’d be glad to help, if they needed a lesbian on their board. She laughed, dismissively. “You can’t call yourself that anymore.” Of all the weird reactions I’d gotten to my engagement, that one pissed me off most. I had not been not surprised when my fiancé’s friends — Washington insiders with the respect for convention that city inspires — expressed shock when they discovered I was a dyke. We came from different worlds; with my long brunette hair and short skirts, I hadn’t read as queer to them. But no one had presumed to relabel me, to retrofit me to their categories — at least, not to my face. But here was my fabulous Portland pal, trying to claim me for the Bi-Het team (which sounded like a synagogue rather than a sexual identity, and certainly not my own). She wasn’t the only one: An ex-girlfriend and a sophisticated poet cousin said the same thing, as if my lesbian license had been revoked. So let me be clear, since I can’t be the only one: I am a lesbian marrying a man. This is not semantics, or splitting hairs; it is fundamental to who we are — my fiancé and I. Immutable as height or eye color. Call it a kind of intermarriage. I am 5-foot-9, brunette, lesbian, that won’t alter because of our vows; nor will my love of women, though I won’t be dating them. If either of us had to pretend otherwise, I wouldn’t be marrying this man. It is precisely because our love makes room for us to be who we are, rather than cutting us to fit convention, that I want to spend my life with him. One of the things I cherished about coming out as a lesbian years ago was the wonderful sense I had that I was leaving behind received forms of love, those that seemed to have disappointed my parents and friends. We were free to invent our own, something authentic, not roles we shrugged on like a borrowed coat. Still, I can’t blame those I love for trying to recast me in more familiar terms — as bisexual or straight. I’ve done the same sort of mislabeling myself. I did this with the man I love when we first met. When I first sat down beside the man I would marry, I thought, “Too many sport coats, too little hair.” It was ungallant of me, a glib assessment, born of a writerly habit of sizing up characters. I didn’t recognize this habit as defensive, a way of trying to contain what was foreign to me, what might unsettle my world. My world, if I’d had to sum it up then, was composed of lesbian activists and writers, with a smattering of hip-ish academics at the university in D.C. where I taught then. People in my world subscribed to the Nation and the New York Review of Books, and understood that a reference to the Times always means New York’s. People in my world did not wear sport coats (except perhaps ironically to a “Mad Men” party). But there was something about this guy that I liked, despite my initial reflexive dismissal. Sitting next to him, I understood for the first time the term “take a cotton to.” I felt as if the fibers of my body were stretching toward him, affectionately, or like iron filings toward a magnet. As he will later tell the story, we’d come to meet other people, but in the crowded wood-paneled lounge we’d ended up next to each other, sharing a drink. Over that drink, I learned he had been a graduate student in New Haven when I was an undergraduate there. In those days, he had recently returned from the Peace Corps in the Solomon Islands and North Africa, while I was slowly, painfully coming out, finding my way from an economics major to books. We talked about languages we speak — Arabic, Portuguese, pidgin, lousy French — and Shakespeare plays we love, of which he could quote an impressive amount.

Michele Bachmann accuses Obama of wanting to experiment on immigrant children By Arturo Garcia; Wednesday, July 30, 2014 17:20 EDT Outgoing Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) accused President Barack Obama’s administration during a radio interview of encouraging more Central American immigrant minors to come to the U.S. for the purposes of procuring subjects for medical experiments, Right Wing Watch reported on Wednesday. “We can’t imagine doing this,” she said. “But if you have a hospital, and they are gonna get millions of dollars in government grants so that they can conduct medical research on somebody — and a ward of the state can’t say no, a little kid can’t say no, if they’re a ward of the state — so here you could have an institution getting millions of dollars from our government to do medical experimentation, and a kid can’t even say no. It’s sick.” According to Right Wing Watch, Bachmann’s claim is an offshoot of her introduction of “Justina’s Law,” named after Justina Pelletier, the Massachusetts teenager who was the focal point of a court battle between her parents and the state Department of Children and Families (DCF) dating back to February 2013. Pelletier’s family and the agency’s dispute began when Boston Children’s Hospital diagnosed the girl with “a persistent and severe somatic symptom disorder,” countering an earlier diagnosis by Tufts Medical Center saying her inability to walk or eat was caused by mitochondrial disease. DCF was granted emergency custody over Pelletier until she turned 18 this past March, but the ruling was reversed three months later when juvenile court judge Joseph Johnston ruled that her parents had demonstrated they could provide adequate care for her. Right Wing Watch reported that, according to Bachmann and other religious conservatives, the hospital diagnosed Pelletier with somatoform disorder because it wanted a federal grant to study the disease Bachmann’s resolution, co-sponsored by Reps. Karen Bass (D-CA), Jim McDermott (D-WA), and Tom Marino (R-PA) subsequently accused Children’s Hospital and similar facilities of having “an internal policy that allows for children who are deemed ‘wards of the State,’ including foster children, to receive treatment or be involved in research that presents great risk even if there is no prospect of any benefit to the child.” But in reality, the hospital’s policy only sanctions research involving “greater than minimal risk with no prospect of direct benefit” if it is related to a child’s status as a ward. The policy also calls for any child included in this kind of study to have an advocate appointed to serve on their behalf in addition to any guardian or “in loco” family the child may have. “We have 400,000 foster children in this country, and now President Barack Obama is trying to bring all of those foreign nationals, the illegal aliens, to the country and he has said that he will put them in the foster care system,” Bachmann said during her radio interview. “I will tell you from personal experience, we don’t have enough foster parents now in the country for the kids in America. We certainly don’t have enough foster parents for all of the illegal aliens that the president is trying to bring in right now.” The remarks signify a slight change in tack from Bachmann, who earlier this month referred to the thousands of children who have emigrated from El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua as “invaders” and linked them to an unidentified rape case and a fatal 2008 auto accident. Listen to Bachmann’s remarks, as posted online on Wednesday, below.

Christian Bale as Moses Aaron Paul as Joshua Joel Edgerton as Rhamses Anton Alexander as Dathan Maria Valverde as Sephora John Torturro as Seti Hiam Abbass as Bithiah Indira Varma as Miriam But who's going to play Nefretiri? Also, Sigourney Weaver is in this, she plays some bitch named Tuya, but I don't know who that is.
EXODUS (2014) starring Christian Bale as Charlton Heston and Aaron Paul as John Derek
She is featured on a 20/20 feature tonight, with her home movies of homeless kids who live outside her high rise on Sunset Boulevard. So this is what she's been doing with herself lately! Her extreme plastic surgery and long hair are quite disarming.

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]

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?
Damn, what happened to him is really horrible. He was a brilliant man.
HOUSTON, TX — A father will spend half of 2014 behind bars for doing too much for his son. After overpaying child support and seeing his son too often — breaking terms that were secretly modified without his knowledge — a judge sentenced him to a lengthy jail sentence. WTF?
ust over a week ago the Satanic Temple, unwavering disciples of the Prince of Darkness and aspiring adopt-a-highway participants, performed a Pink Mass over the grave of Catherine Idalette Johnston, the mother of Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps Jr. Westboro has yet to officially comment on the eternal gaying of its leader’s dead mom, but the owner of the cemetery where the ceremony was performed has filed charges with the local police department. The captain of the Meridian PD, Dean Harper, told local news station WTOK-TV on Monday that they were “in the process of constructing affidavits” and “will have [the satanists] arrested as soon as [they] can.” He added, "It is an unusual crime that we haven't come across—to my knowledge—in a while." LOL. Harper told the Huffington Post today that the original charges of tresspasing, malicious mischief, and indecent exposure (thanks to Lucien tea-bagging Catherine Johnston's grave, which can be seen here) have been dropped because "the judge refused to sign a warrant on them." In the end, Lucien has been charged with desecration of a grave. If this sort of case was thrown onto the desk of another small town police department, one that, say, was located in a community with few serious crimes, it would be fine for the department to pursue what is, essentially, an exercise in the misuse of police time and energy. People—including police officers—get bored and need something to occupy their time. Meridian, unfortunately, is not one of those sleepy towns. According to Neighborhood Scout, a website owned by a research and data-mining company that collects crime statistics from around the country, Meridian is—and I’m paraphrasing here—sketchy as fuck. Based on a crime index of 0 to 100—100 being a crime-free utopia and 0 being the inside of one of Trevino Morales's vats of acid—Meridian gets a four. By way of comparison, Brooklyn, New York, clocks in at 40. Detroit, one of the most dangerous cities in America, is a two. One would think that a town with a population of around 41,000 and a crime-index rating almost on par with a city that has become a byword for blight and criminal activity would take a pass on devoting time and resources to chasing a few out-of-towners who performed a harmless little Satanic ceremony in a graveyard. After all, the Satanic Temple and its members are based in New York, meaning—as the Huffington Post and the Gauntlet have mentioned—an arrest for charges filed in Mississippi is unlikely. Another statistic of interest concerning the Meridian Police Department is the number of officers they employ. If they were understaffed due to city budget issues, their stratospheric crime rate might be understandable. As of 2011, however, the department had 109 full-time law-enforcement employees, 98 of them officers. Hate to go all stat nerd over here, but that comes out to 2.37 police officers per 1,000 people. The Mississippi average is two officers per 1,000 residents. Why, then, was the violent crime rate in Meridian in 2010 higher than the Mississippi average by 89.29 percent? Could be because the department spends its time doing stupid shit like chasing Satanists from New York City. I reached out to Captian Harper for comment, but he has not returned my call. When I asked Lucien, via email, what he made of all this, he told me "We caused no material damage to anything, and the cemetery was left exactly as it was when we entered it. I’m not sure which part of this is most problematic for the sheriff—the displays of homosexuality, or the Satanism. I do know that the combination of the two is bound to cause absolute havoc among the superstitious homophobic."

I set out for Ford Fest on July 25, the latest in a series of public picnics held by Mayor Rob Ford, with a mission: to engage black Ford supporters, and only them, in conversation about our mayor’s consistent expressions of anti-black racism. Many of the hundreds gathered at Thomson Memorial Park in Scarborough were people of African and Caribbean descent. But of the 30 or so I spoke with, very few were willing (or able) to problematize Ford’s use of the N Word, his description of blacks as “f--ing minorities” or his claim that no one has helped black people more than him. The unwillingness among Ford’s black supporters to confront his racism seems extremely nuanced and strategic. As black Canadians, they’ve experienced racism first-hand and know how badly it stings. When these folks deny, obscure or ignore Ford’s racism, they’re delivering a grim message: all politicians look down on black people, but at least Ford will occasionally grace them with the privilege of his presence. Everyone who spoke with me suggested that our politicians and the system they serve are generally corrupt and specifically racist or indifferent toward black people. Such low expectations of public service make Ford a hero for offering his black supporters a hamburger and a little attention. A woman who gave her name as Flavour told me passionately, “I’ve been living in Scarborough for many years, and this is the only mayor I’ve ever gotten to shake hands with.” This sort of desperation and insecurity would be comic if it weren’t so consistent among the blacks I interviewed. Ford may not be perfect (I heard this at least a dozen times), he may even be racist sometimes, but he performs token positive gestures toward blacks that others won’t, and that’s good enough for many. Those I spoke with sounded resigned to some racism in politics. For them, Ford’s divisive brand represents an awkward but acceptable compromise. Despite the depth of disillusionment among many black people about our status in this city and country, it is naïve to assume that we are universally intolerant of anti-black racism. Black Torontonians are, we cannot forget, facing a disproportionately grim set of social and economic circumstances: as children we’re more likely to be kicked out or suspended from school; as adolescents we’re the targets for non-investigative stops by police; as adults we’re less likely to find good jobs. Many blacks identify with Ford as victim, as someone whose behaviour is over-scrutinized, and they jump on his bandwagon. The consequences of black disillusionment played themselves out in a powerful way at Ford Fest. While I conducted interviews, a group of LGBTQ protesters arrived at the picnic. A large and angry throng of Ford supporters, including many black people, taunted the queer protesters and chanted at them to “go home.” This is civic engagement Ford-style, and the mayor has employed the same rallying cry against black people in different circumstances. Only two years ago, he used a shooting in Scarborough to propose his race-baiting suggestion that the city deport people convicted of gun crimes. This is how Ford repays the unwavering loyalty of his black supporters, but many of them are too caught up in his game of patronage to fight back. A woman named Josine spoke with me just after her daughter had her photo taken with Rob’s brother Doug, who’d been working the crowd for hours. Her response to the Ford brothers’ repeated comments that no one has helped black people more than the mayor? Josine wrinkled her nose and said, “They haven’t done anything for our community… but I don’t know anything.”

After 30 years in the music business, Weird Al Yankovic has finally broken through. Hadley Freeman asks the cult hero what it's like to be number one If you'd asked me 30 years ago whether I'd still be making parody albums, I'd have laughed," Weird Al Yankovic chortles. "And if you said the records would be selling more than ever, I'd have thought you were crazy." The past few weeks, however, have been the busiest of Yankovic's platinum record-studded career. His latest album, Mandatory Fun, entered the US charts at No 1, his first ever, and the first comedy album to reach such heights for over half a century. When he found out on an American talkshow, his eyes welled up with joy. How did he celebrate? "I had a burrito." It feels apt that Yankovic marked the event by eating, considering he originally made his name with food-based parody songs. There was My Bologna, his take on The Knack's My Sharona, and then his breakthrough song and video in 1984, Eat It, a shot-for-shot parody of Michael Jackson's Beat It. "People talk about overnight fame and usually that's an exaggeration, but in this case it really wasn't. MTV put the video on eight times a day, and it got very odd: as a person who was fairly anonymous his whole life, I'd suddenly be walking down the street and having people stare at me." To this day, one of the most thrilling-slash-weird moments of his thrilling-slash-weird career is from that era, when he was invited to a party in Beverly Hills for Paul McCartney, one of his great musical heroes. The publicist warned him beforehand that there was no chance he could meet McCartney. But, with the wiliness that would characterise his career, Yankovic squeezed his way through the crowd and tapped McCartney's shoulder. "Oh, Weird Al!" cried McCartney, before turning to his wife Linda. "Look, honey, it's Weird Al!" "I basically exploded on the spot," Yankovic happily recalls. Yankovic, 54, writes original songs, as well as films and books, but he is best known for his parodies. His career raises two questions: first, how can a man who mocks others' songs be adored by fans and artists alike? And, second, how can he possibly stay relevant after three decades in the business? After all, many of the artists Yankovic first riffed off in the 80s have long ago slipped into irrelevancy, while he is bigger than ever. Yankovic performs White & Nerdy Yankovic performs White & Nerdy. Photograph: Chris Polk/FilmMagic The second question can be answered by looking at his strategy for Mandatory Fun. Earlier this month, Yankovic released one song and video a day for eight days across a range of what he calls "internet portals" (Yankovic is as comfortable talking web jargon as he is sharing celebrity anecdotes), including Vevo, Yahoo and YouTube. It was a move born out of necessity. After the release of his last album, Alpocalypse, his record label told him it couldn't afford to help him make videos for his next project. Any other artist would have raged at corporate stupidity and painted "slave" on his face. Yankovic, however, is famously one of the nicest men in the business, even if the description makes him hoot with laughter. "I hope I'm a decent guy," he objects, "but I think fame amplifies your personality and people's responses to it, so people are like, 'Wow, Al is the nicest guy in the world!'" Instead of griping, he went to various internet sites and offered to give them the video exclusives if they would fund them. "It worked out well for everybody," he says, with some understatement. He has since been praised as "a savvy internet machine", although some have been baffled by his tactics (in a hilariously awkward interview, Yankovic patiently had to teach a Fox Business anchor how the internet works.) "I'm just interested in following along with the zeitgeist and not getting left behind because I'm using some antiquated business model," he says. "I don't know why other people wouldn't do that as well."
Weird Al Yankovic: 'I think Robin Thicke was glad I just mocked his grammar'
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.

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.

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.

''Ever since gay men came out of the closet in the ''80s and showed us who they were, straight American men went into the closet to show us what they weren''t. Before the late ''80s men wore shorter shorts and swimwear was short and fitted. Men used to be so free and liberated then. Now they are scared.''%0D\ %0D\ Amen!

Starring Kelsey Grammer and Martin Lawrence. I like them both so I may have to give it a look. I like that Kelsey never gives up on trying to make it back in the sitcom world. This will be about the 5th show he has done since "Frasier" went off the air. If at first you don't succeed. I think Martin is a great comic actor. I can't think of anything he has done that I didn't enjoy.

Poster linked... Paramount quickly retracts the promo poster featuring the Australian release date for TMNT The upcoming Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is set to open on September 11th in Australia, which was today highlighted by a new promotional poster published to Paramount's Twitter and Facebook streams. The image was quickly retracted, however, after users reacted angrily to the combination of its release date and the artwork above it, depicting the four turtles jumping out of an exploding skyscraper. Evoking the tragic events of the World Trade Center attacks in New York 13 years ago was certainly not Paramount's intention, as evidenced by the fact that this particular poster had already been used a week earlier, albeit without the offending opening date. And, unlike AT&T last year, Paramount's blunderous tweet made the connection accidentally rather than trying to exploit the date to sell its product. Still, it's a significant faux pas for the film studio to make and won't endear the TMNT reboot any more to an audience that's already dubious about how far it's strayed from the original material.

News first reported the “Her” actress is pregnant with her first child, and according to sources for TMZ, Johansson is already roughly five months along. Way to keep that baby bump hidden, ScarJo! Johansson and French journalist fiance-turned-baby daddy Romain Dauriac announced their engagement in September, but aren’t rushing to set a date. “I’m not doing any wedding planning,” she told “Good Morning America” in January. She was previously married to Ryan Reynolds and got divorced in 2011 after three years of wedlock.

I live in the northeast. The first time I pulled one of these suckers off me was in 2005. I looked up "tick white dot" on the internet and up came the Lone Star tick. I was assured it went no further north than Georgia and that it didn't cause disease. The following year the internet said, "Oh by the way, it causes something calked STARI, but it's no big whoop. A rash, a little fatigue and you're good to go." The internet finally found out lone star ricks had traveled to the northeast in late 2007. Still, it only caused STARI. I've been bitten by these things at least 7 times. Fuckers. Now it causes ehrlichiosis! Rocky Mountain Sootted fever and a red meat allergy. I showed a nasty tick bite to my doctor yesterday and he told me it's now believed they can cause Lyme disease. No big deal, I've had Lyme and it wasn't bad. BUT THESE FUCKING LONE STAR TICKS are everywhere and their bites really hurt and swell up. Is anybody else being tormented by these suckers?

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.

I'm one of the gays that also love watching straight pron because of the guys. Seeing the other thread about straight pron stars, I thought I'd start one with the link to who is considered the hottest by this particular website. I would add James Dean and Seth Gamble to the list. Some of the ones listed have also done gay pron . . . for instance the ever-hot Wolf Hudson. Pics from the thread are not naked but may not be safe for work either. Enjoy!

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

It seems the whole decade was full of people obsessed with any decade other than the current one. There was 1930s nostalgia, 1950s nostalgia, and the seeds for 1960s nostalgia were being sewn. Was it a reaction to all the bad things going on or was it a deliberate distraction from them?

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

OCEAN BEACH (CA) -- A bumper sticker that reads "Welcome to Ocean Beach/ Please don't feed our homeless" is drawing mixed reactions. The sticker targets aggressive panhandlers, according to Ken Anderson, 42, who works at The Black, where the stickers are sold for $2.50 each. The stickers are a play on the National Park Service's "Please don't feed the bears" sticker. Anderson says he had the stickers printed a few weeks ago because people are tired of rude, young transients demanding spare change rather than asking for it. Anderson hopes the stickers will make the community realize the homeless population there is out of control. He's also had T-shirts and hats printed with the same message on them. Local business owner Chaz Lomack claims many of the young homeless in the area choose not to work, and in fact come from well-off families and have cell phones. According to Lomack, there have been incidents of violence against people who refuse to give them money. Meantime, Frank Gormlie, 62, who runs the local "OB Rag" blog, says the stickers send the wrong message about Ocean Beach, which he describes as a "place of laid-back tolerance." Gormlie feels the stickers carry a message of hate and dehumanize the homeless. He has asked Anderson to stop selling them. For his part, Anderson says his store will continue to sell the stickers as long as there's demand.

Are there any dating websites geared toward this demographic, preferably one that isn't promoting a fetish, like silver daddy or bears, etc.?
One of my friends is a committed vegan, and has been for years. She discovered this summer she's got a lump on her thyroid--the biopsy came back inconcclusive, but her doctors have told her its likely that given her excess soy consumption that the lump is related to that. Even if the lump is not cancerous, she is likely going to have to have half or more of her thyroid removed. Is this link between excess soy consumption and subsequent thyroid problems well known? I had not heard of this before (I'm a meat eater).
Breaking news from the Television Critics Association, NBC has just revealed their next mega-TV musical, executive produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron - PETER PAN! The broadcast has been scheduled for December 4, 2014. Featuring the iconic songs "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up," and "Never Never Land," and a book full of magic, warmth, and adventure, PETER PAN is the perfect show for the child in all of us who dreamed of soaring high and never growing up. Based on J.M. Barrie's 1904 play and Barrie's own novelization of it, PETER PAN is a classic tale featuring a score by Morris "Moose" Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green. It is one of the most beloved and frequently performed family favorites of all time. Originally directed and staged by Jerome Robbins, the 1954 Broadway production opened on October 20, 1954 at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York. It starred Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook. Both stars earned Tony Awards for their performances. It was followed by NBC telecasts of it in 1955, 1956, and 1960 with the same stars, plus several rebroadcasts of the 1960 telecast. The show has enjoyed several revivals onstage. In "live plus seven day" results, NBC's Dec. 5 telecast of "The Sound of Music Live" delivered a 5.62 rating in adults 18-49 and 21.837 million viewers overall, adding to the enormous audience the show attracted with its live telecast to make "The Sound of Music Live!" the #1 telecast on all of television for that Dec. 2-8 week in total viewers. Excluding sports, it's NBC's most-watched Thursday since the night of the "Frasier" finale (22.597 million on May 13, 2004). A total of 38.696 million viewers watched at least a portion of the Dec. 5 telecast of "The Sound of Music Live!" Including "live plus three day" results for the Dec. 14 encore, a total of 44.183 million viewers have watched at least a portion of NBC's telecasts of "The Sound of Music Live!" The presentation starred Grammy winner Carrie Underwood as 'Maria,' Audra McDonald ("Private Practice"), who has won five Tony Awards and two Grammys, as Mother Abbess; Stephen Moyer ("True Blood"), as Capt. Georg von Trapp; Tony Award winner Christian Borle ("Smash"), who portrayed von Trapp family friend Max Detweiler; and Tony winner Laura Benanti ("Go On"), who took on the role of Elsa Schrader, the captain's one-time fiancee.

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

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

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

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

On my "Who wants to marry an ISIS militant thread," I read several comments describing "Man-boy-Love Thursdays." I thought it needed it's own thread, as there are several entries on the internet. Thursday among the Afghan Pashtuns is comparable to Saturday night in the USA. Apparently "Man-Love Thursdays" is fairly common in other Muslim countries where access to wives, especially during warfare, is restricted. At least that's the common excuse. Participants also claim that they are not gay or homosexual.

Bob McDonnell says Jonnie Williams ‘poisoned’ his ‘dysfunctional’ marriage RICHMOND, Va. — The federal corruption trial of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, began Monday in Richmond Federal Court. The couple was indicted on a combined 14 counts, most of the charges allege the McDonnells used their position to improve donor Jonnie Williams’ company, Star Scientific, in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts. This is the first time a Virginia Governor has been on trial for criminal charges.

[quote]Orlando Bloom throws PUNCH at Justin Bieber outside Ibiza restaurant Jul 30, 2014 FURIOUS Orlando Bloom lost his temper and threw a PUNCH at pop star Justin Bieber before the pair were eventually separated. It’s been widely reported the actor’s ex-wife Miranda Kerr had got close to the 20-year-old while they were married. And Bloom’s behaviour would suggest there’s truth to the rumours after he sparked the altercation outside Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza, Spain, on Tuesday night. A source close to the situation said exclusively: “Orlando was clearly annoyed when he saw Justin and instigated the situation by taking a swing at him. “Luckily for both of them Justin ducked so Orlando’s punch missed. “Within seconds people intervened and there was some minor pushing and shoving between their entourages. Bieber mocked rival Bloom by posting a picture of Kerr. The pop star, 20, simply captioned the photo with an image of a crown fuelling rumours he DID hook up with the Australian model while she was married to Bloom. He promptly deleted the picture (above) from his Instagram page. A spokesperson for Justin, Miranda and Orlando have all been contacted.

By the National Enquirer When a Hollywood scandal sheet of the 1950s was going to OUT closeted heartthrob ROCK HUDSON, his manager cut a secret deal and outed another star instead! RORY CALHOUN, a rising star, was nearly blacklisted after Confidential magazine cut a secret deal by Hollywood studio ops to keep their biggest, seeming hetero, male star ROCK HUDSON safely in the closet. Calhoun, who was born Timothy Francis McCowan, had a troubled early life, drifting in and out of reform schools to hard time in San Quentin by the time he was 21. After his release, he met actor Alan Ladd's agent wife Sue Carol Ladd who introduced him to David O. Selznick Studio employee Henry Willson who managed a stable of hunky young men who showed "promise". Willson carefully groomed his young protégé, and changed his name to Rory Calhoun. Rory's first public appearance was as Lana Turner's male escort to the premiere of Hitchcock's Spellbound and after generating some PR heat, Selznick loaned Calhoun out to other studios. After costarring with Shirley Temple and tough guy Edward G. Robinson, Calhoun's star was on the rise as he soon appeared in two Marilyn Monroe films How to Marry a Millionaire, and River of No Return. During Calhoun's big build-up, Willson kept a firm grip on his leash. After vetoing Calhoun's engagement to French sex kitten Corinne Calvet, Wilson did the unthinkable - he sold out one client to protect another. Shockingly, in 1955, Willson divulged hush-hush information and details about Calhoun's years behind bars to Confidential magazine in exchange for the mag to not print a bombshell exposé revealing the secret gay life of superstar Rock Hudson. Boldly, Calhoun trumped Confidential's "scoop" by going public first. The jailhouse revelation seemingly did little to damage Calhoun's reputation, solidifying his bad boy image to moviegoers - much like Robert Mitchum's post-marijuana bust in 1948. Yet, Calhoun never rose above B-movie status working more in European films like sword and sandal epic The Colossus of Rhodes and as a frequent guest star on TV shows before his death in 1999. Hudson remained in the closet to his legion of fans despite long-standing rumors until his death from AIDS in 1985. To Hollywood insiders, Rock's closeted truth was NO secret.
It seems like we're moving in that direction (slowly), but women have a big head start. One big reason is that pretty much every straight porno movie has some girl-on-girl action. So I think it has mainstream acceptance. Yet any hint of male-male contact, even non-sexual, still seems taboo in straight porn, and is relegated to the bisexual specialty market. Will this ever change? If so, will it be gradual? Will there be a watershed moment?

And no, I’m not talking about his face; life took an effed-up shit on that a long time ago. And then the sun dried it out. And then God sprinkled it with douche-salts and cured it like a piece of jerk-flavored jerky. And then your dog found it in the park and threw you a LIGAF?-face when you screamed “Scooter NOOO! Don’t eat that!” TMZ is reporting that they have the exclusive details of a domestic dispute between noted anal wart, Michael Lohan, and his girlfriend Kate Major at their home in Florida. It all began Monday evening when Kate locked herself in the bathroom after a fight with Michael, and mistook Twitter for 911 by tweeting: Threatening to take our son. What judge would rule for him??? Stuck inside a house with this guy? He has a knife. You know, just typical Twitter stuff. “Just tweeting about that time I locked myself in the bathroom with my son because my boyfriend was brandishing a knife! LULZ #SoRandom”. TMZ then says that a source close to the couple (Michael holding his finger above his lip like a pretend moustache) claims that Kate’s erratic behavior worried Michael enough to call 911 (…right after calling TMZ). When police arrived, Michael told officers that Kate was drunk and he worried for the safety of his son, but neither Michael nor Kate would leave the house. Because being a hysterical attention-starved mess isn’t against the law in Florida, police left the Lohan-Major home without arresting either of those dum-dums. Kate went on to delete the crazy shit she said on Twitter and tweeted a weird apology, while Michael kept hitting TMZ’s number on speed dial until someone picked up so he could sell out his girlfriend as a drunk, crazy mess. Michael told TMZ that Kate is a lie-telling liar who’s drinking has gotten so out of control that she tried to kill herself this weekend and that if she doesn’t get help, he’s going to seek sole custody of their son, Landon. And because I hope it NEVER gets to that, I’m crossing my fingers that there’s a family of kindly swamp gators who will step forward and snatch baby Landon from his stroller in the parking lot of a Waffle House and raise him as one of their own.

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

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

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.

Shrouded heavily in all-black clothing, a woman alleged to be an Army veteran and a bereaved mother of two has been steadily making her way north through the Appalachian U.S., drawing interest from locals and Internet onlookers all over the country.

The Karen Walker thread reminded me of how many great lines the writers crafted for her. The writing was excellent in general and had hilarious bitchy one-liners; and some episodes are certainly classics (like the spelling bee at the gay bar, or the final episode where Beverly Lesley dies by being blown off the balcony).\ \ But the Will character was so dislikeable and unpleasant. And though I like Sean Hayes, the Jack character, which could sometimes be very funny, was such a collection of nasty stereotypes about gay men.

A 36-year-old woman who had sex with a 12-year old-boy has been jailed for 10 years. Joy Leaann McCall, from Ocala, Florida, had sex three times with the young boy who was the same age as her own children. She was given 10 years in prison for each charge of lewd or lascivious battery on a child between 12 and 15 but told the sentence would run concurrently. McCall pleaded guilty to the second degree felony charges and was given a 134 day credit for time already spent in jail. The court heard that the 12-year-old, who has not been named, told police that he received Facebook messages from the woman. He said the messages 'continued to get more heated' and he later received photos of her posing in underwear. McCall arranged to meet the boy at a local shopping mall where she picked him up and ended up having sex in the back seat of her car. The boy claimed he contacted her again five days later. She collected him and drove him to some woods, where they had sex again.

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

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

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

WASHINGTON -- One of President Barack Obama's top advisers said on Friday that he expects House Republicans will ultimately file articles of impeachment against the president. Dan Pfeiffer, a senior aide who has been with the administration since Obama first took office, told reporters that he anticipated that a lawsuit filed by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) over executive actions taken by the president on health care would ultimately not be enough to satisfy some of the more vocal conservatives in Congress. Pfeiffer added that coming executive actions surrounding immigration reform would only stoke the impeachment flames. "I think a lot of people in this town laugh that off," said Pfeiffer. "I would not discount that possibility. I think that Speaker Boehner, by going down this path of this lawsuit, has opened the door to Republicans possibly considering impeachment at some point in the future." Speaking at the Christian Science Monitor breakfast, Pfeiffer based his prediction on several factors. The first was former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) calling for articles of impeachment to be drawn over the president's executive action allowing certain young undocumented immigrants to stay in the country. The second was a CNN poll released Friday morning showing that while just 33 percent of the country supported impeachment, a full 57 percent of Republicans were in favor of it. "I think impeachment is a very serious thing that has been bandied about by the recent Republican vice presidential nominee and others in a very unserious way," said Pfeiffer. "And no one has even made any allegation of anything that would be within six universes from what is generally considered in that space." Boehner has said repeatedly that he is not interested in drafting articles of impeachment against the president. UPDATE: 10:25 a.m. -- Boehner's spokesman Michael Steel emailed the following response to Pfeiffer. We have a humanitarian crisis at our border, and the White House is making matters worse with inattention and mixed signals. It is telling, and sad, that a senior White House official is focused on political games, rather than helping these kids and securing the border. While Pfeiffer did float the prospect of impeachment without much, if any, prodding, it's worth noting that he did also discuss the crisis at the border during Friday's breakfast session.

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

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

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

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."

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.

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.”

I think many of you are going to deny it but it is true, straight women and gay men are very much alike because we are all attracted to men. And as such we are basically defined by our preferences. An example of this is that the majority of anorexics and bulimics are female with a small minority of males. The men who are anorexics or bulimics are predominantly gay or bisexual men. And the reason for this is because there is an aspiration to look nice among homosexual and bisexual men, a sentiment that is not present or exists to a lesser degree among heterosexual men. And the reason being for homosexual men, their object of affection are men who are by nature lookist(There's research to back this up, by the way) You see, we are all defined by our likes (men), since we are so much alike, why do you look down on us and hate us so much? I mean we are more likely to know how you feel.

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

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

So good luck and Godspeed we're finally on our own." I tried Google but had zero luck.
I think not!

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

WWE superstar Darren Young just dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ, he's gay ... and no, this isn't part of the act. Darren was at LAX Wednesday when we asked whether a gay wrestler could succeed in WWE, and Darren laughed, saying, "Absolutely. Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I'll tell you right now, I'm gay. And I'm happy. I'm very happy." For the record, Darren is now the first openly gay wrestler ever at WWE ... and the first headlining wrestler ever to come out while still signed to a major promotion. Other pro wrestlers have been rumored to be gay, but that's it ... just rumors. Bottom line: this is big, big news. For all its chauvinism and testosterone-driven bravado, coming out in WWE is tantamount to coming out in the NFL. Of course, wrestling is a little different, particularly because of how physical it is, and how little clothing is involved -- but Darren is completely unfazed.
The website says: There's nothing quite like the sexy, silly, naked, stupid bromances of the "Pad". It's a bunch of mostly-straight, ab-tastically hot, college-age guys living in an enormous fake-Tuscan mansion in Arizona. I don't believe they're straight.
I think I may be even more gay now

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

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

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

New tenants moved into a house next door to me. They have been dealing drugs from the house since they moved in. I don't want this in my neighborhood and especially not next door. Police are aware of the situation, but can't do anything unless they are caught in the act. I have informed the landlord and he said he doesn't know how he can kick them out, but he knows they are dealing and doesn't like it. Very frustrating.
In an intensive care unit in Memphis, a virus ravages the body of a 7-year-old who’s in heart and kidney failure. He vomits blood several times an hour as his family gathers in vigil. In a cabinet in Durham, North Carolina, there’s a drug that could likely help Josh Hardy, but the drug company won’t give it to him. They’re adamant that spending the time to help Josh and others like him will slow down their efforts to get this drug on the market. Helping Josh, they say, means hurting others. When asked how he will feel if Josh dies — and he’s in critical condition, so sadly that could happen soon — the president of the company that makes the drug doesn’t hesitate to answer. “Horrible,” said Kenneth Moch. He would feel horrible and heartbroken. But still, he said there’s no way he’s going to change his mind. There’s no way he’s going to give Josh this drug. ‘We’re begging them’ It’s called “compassionate use,” but sometimes it feels anything but compassionate. Here’s the way it works: According to the Food and Drug Administration, if someone has a serious or immediately life-threatening disease and has tried and failed other available treatments, they can ask a drug company for an experimental drug, one that they’re still studying and has not yet been approved by the FDA. Companies often say yes: The FDA approved 974 compassionate use arrangements in fiscal year 2013. But pharmaceutical companies often say no, as they did to Josh Hardy. “Our son will die without this drug,” said Todd Hardy, Josh’s father. “We’re begging them to give it to us.” So now, like many families, the Hardys have turned to the media, Facebook, and change.org to pressure the drug company to change its mind. Countless members of “Josh’s army” have responded with angry tweets to @chimerix, telling them to “open their hearts,” asking the executives how they can sleep at night. “Everyone is watching,” one tweeter warned the company. Others have tweeted out the e-mail addresses of the company’s board members. Chimerix executives say they’ve received physical threats. Moch, the company president, has read these tweets and said he is heartbroken, but the issue is complex and unsuitable for a 144-long character debate. At its very simplest, this is it: Chimerix is going full speed ahead to get the drug on the market hopefully by the end of 2016, and if they spend time and money on compassionate use cases, it would greatly hinder their effort to get the drug, brincidofovir, on the market and available to everyone. The company would have to dish out $50,000 per compassionate-use patient, since insurance doesn’t usually pay for experimental drugs, Moch said. And perhaps even more important than the money, it would divert manpower in this 50-person company, since they’d have to handle the requests and then get the patient’s records and follow up with them, as required by the FDA. “If this were just one patient wanting this drug, then this would be a very different question,” he said. “But it’s yes to all or no to all.” From 2009 to 2012, the company did give out the drug under compassionate use to 451 patients, Moch said, but at least at that time, the information gleaned from those 451 compassionate use patients was helpful to the Chimerix study and helped move the science along. But currently doctors don’t really learn very much, if anything, from compassionate use patients, so the patients don’t help get the drug to market. Beat cancer four times Josh’s journey began when he was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer at 9 months old. Over the years, cancer turned up in his thymus, lung, and bone marrow, and each time Josh beat it. But a bone marrow transplant left Josh without much of an immune system, and in February doctors diagnosed him with an adenovirus that spread through his body. They gave him an antiviral drug, an intravenous form of brincidofovir, but it ravaged his kidneys.

I broke my toe, and so I've been laid up the last 36 hours. I searched for some cool new music and found a couple of gems. Yes, they gave me Percocet. I narrowed down from 8 to 2. These were the two that blew me away- especially the video for the former, and the live Letterman appearance for the latter. The first is by Future Islands, "Seasons Change" and the song takes a few plays before you love it, but the video is jawdroppingly gorgeous and the dude is HAWWWTTT! They even show him without the cowboy hat. Dude is awesome sexy cowboy hot! The second is Kiesza. Inside.
The new squat toilet? Apparently this isn't a big deal in Asia. "Passengers kicked up a stink on a flight from Beijing to Detroit this week after a family allowed their toddler to defecate on his seat, according to reports. Travellers on board the Delta Airlines flight allegedly watched in horror as the young Chinese boy's parents laid down newspaper on his chair and encouraged him to relieve himself there and then. Despite pleas from passengers and crew to take him to the cabin toilet, the boy's grandfather and grandmother - who were also on the plane - insisted on letting the boy settle there, it was claimed. Passenger Luolan Gang Wang told Sina News that once the boy had finished his business, its smell began slowly to waft through the cabin sparking a wave of disgust among fellow travellers. Following the incident, Chinese social network Weibo came alive with commenters expressing their disgust, many of whom condemned the family for embarrassing their homeland. Delta Airlines did not immediately respond to MailOnline's request for comment. It is not clear exactly when the alleged incident happened but it is believed to have occurred some time around the middle of last week. It comes months after a disturbingly similar incident in which a child was photographed passing motion on a domestic flight in China in February."

Let me tell you about this woman that I worked with at an upscale Manhattan hotel.(Her pic is at link) Unattractive, crude, more than a few pounds overweight and very dishonest. Threw the race card out there whenever things didn't go her way. Her favorite expression if she got mad at someone is to say "They can suck my dick." Is so manly in her behavior and dress that once when she was in the public restroom in the lobby a concerned woman rushed up to the front desk to report that they had just spotted a man in the women's room. It was no man, it was this employee. Liked to have loud, threatening fights with her girlfriend Keisha on her cellphone in front of her co-workers during work time. Showed up at employee outings in appropriate attire and often swigging from liquor bottles. Got a male employee in big trouble for playfully referring to her as Whoopi because of her resemblance to Whoopi Goldberg. They both had a similar dreadlock hairstyle at the time. She ran to HR and claimed this employee was racist for calling her this.She quietly confided to some co-workers that the real reason she got the guy in trouble was because she felt Whoopi Goldberg is ugly and she was upset with the comparison. (For the record, WG is better looking than this woman.) Just stopped coming to work for more than two weeks and had her mother call in with some lame excuse for her even though she is a grown woman who should have called herself. Has only a HS education (don't even know if she ever managed to graduate) from a failing NYC public school. Every time, there was any type of managerial opening, she ran to HR to apply for it. She was totally unqualified for these posts but she felt she deserved them. Then when she didn't get the post, she'd have a chip on her shoulder blaming racism as the real reason. Finally, her suck-up boss and other cowardly powers that be gave her one of those meaningless Assnt. Mgr. titles just to keep her happy. She finally got into trouble for physically assaulting a Chinese menu guy that had been caught sneaking into the building and was slipping menus under guest room doors.The policy was to fill out a trespassing form, contact their bosses at the restaurant and if they are uncooperative then to call police. She decided instead to kick this tiny Asian guy's ass leaving him with bruises and cuts before calling the police. Management sent her home for the day but didn't end up firing her. I'm sure they didn't want it to appear that they were being racist. I could go on and on with other tales about this troublemaking walking disaster.I hate companies with spineless management that won't effectively confront these types of employees.
Anyone with a libertarian inclination will exult in the excellent movie, Dallas Buyers Club. It’s based on the true story of Ron Woodroof, an electrician and part-time rodeo cowboy in Texas who was diagnosed with HIV in 1985. Ron spent the last years of his life fighting the corrupt “health care” industry and the FDA as he searched for ways to cure AIDS, or at least diminish its horrendous effects. When diagnosed, he was told by the doctor to put his affairs in order, as he would be dead within a month. Through hard work and courage, he managed to live for seven years beyond that expiration date. He transformed his life from one of party-hardy debauchery to one of dedicating himself to helping others as he strove to help himself. I recommend this movie for its strong libertarian theme as well as its revelation of much truth about HIV and the nauseatingly corrupt U.S. medical industry and its partner in crime, the federal government. A word of caution: this movie is not one for children nor any adult who is easily offended.
Continuing a great thread with fabulous pecs.
I have gotten many comments from friends and acquaintances saying that my refusal to date bi men is a sign of bigotry, and that I am subjecting them to the same unjustified prejudice that the rest of society heaps on gay people (especially gay men). However, while I acknowledge that bisexuality exists, I simply lose all interest in a guy who is bisexual, or is a MSM and self-identifies as "straight". It's sort of like when you meet someone who spouses radical right wing ideas or has OCD in a bad way. It's just not attractive. Does that mean that I hate bisexual men? Well, no. I just don't want to have anything to do with them, especially in a romantic sense. Have I slept with bisexual guys? Of course, but I never took it seriously and it was a matter of "let's get down to it and then, I'm out of the door". I have never spoken badly of bisexual men, but I have also never, ever heard anything positive about them. I have an ex who is bi, but whenever I think of him with contempt, it isn't because he was bisexual, but because he is the human equivalent of rotting shit. Still, I must admit that coming to know that he was bisexual when our relationship was already on the rocks, didn't help matters. So, is not wanting to date bi men a sign of intolerance and bigotry in gay men? I don't think so. Do you?
See below and linked. Perhaps he just has an obsessive and unhinged overreaction to something that may be quite natural? Researchers from the universities of Bristol and St. Andrews in the UK have found that the color of a person's skin affects how healthy and therefore attractive they appear, and have found that diet may be crucial to achieving the most desirable complexion. Using specialist computer software, a total of 54 Caucasian participants of both sexes were asked to manipulate the skin color of male and female Caucasian faces to make them look as healthy as possible. They chose to increase the rosiness, yellowness and brightness of the skin. "Most previous work on faces has focused on the shape of the face or the texture of the skin, but one of the most variable characteristics of the face is skin color," said Dr. Ian Stephen who is now at the University of Bristol. Melanin, the pigment that causes the tan color when skin is exposed to the sun makes the skin darker and more yellow, but participants in the study chose to make skin lighter and more yellow to make it look healthier. "What we eat and not just how much we eat appears to be important for a healthy appearance. The only natural way in which we can make our skin lighter and more yellow is to eat a more healthy diet high in fruit and vegetables.
