I'm a big fan of David Lynch's films. How would you guys rank his work? This is my ranking, from greatest to worst. Great: Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, The Straight Story, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet Very Good: Lost Highway OK: Inland Empire (I still don't understand what the fuck I watched), Wild At Heart, The Elephant Man Poor: Dune

I get they have to stage it so the fourth wall is broken, but you would think that they would try to match the interior layout as close to the exterior layout picture they show as possible. The placement of the stairs tend to be the worst part. A few shows managed to do a good job of it. Roseanne's first floor was very close to matching its exterior picture, and looked like a realistic lower middle class house to boot.
I'm watching an old THE LUCY SHOW episode. In it, Lucy somehow ends up being a show girl in a Danny Thomas musical number. She can't keep up with the pro dancers and keeps bumping into Thomas. Hilarity ensues. It's in color and looks beautiful and Lucy looks great. But I could never really get into the post-I LOVE LUCY shows for one simple reason. There was no payoff to Lucy's shenanigan's because there was no fallout with Ricky. Sure, Mr. Mooney would yell at her, but the stakes were with Ricky. I wonder how the shows were received at the time.
What happened?
What's next for them, a reality show?

I just shave a little 'v' section at the top of my chest instead of my whole chest so hairs don't stick out the tops of my shirts. Who has time for the whole damn chest? I sometimes kick stuff, like nuts, under the fridge instead of bending over to pick it up. I know y'all are just as lazy.
She's made a name for herself as the writer and star of HBO series Girls - and Lena Dunham has been spending her wages wisely. The 28-year-old has invested $2.7million on a new house in Los Angeles, which can be viewed on The Agency, and has three bedrooms and bathrooms and sits on 2,500 square ft of land. Complete with a stunning swimming pool, the white building has stunning country style interiors, with open fires and a shabby chic setting.

Like a sudden festering outbreak of genital warts, the Benham brothers are rearing their matching heads again. While speaking at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville last week, the twin homophobes claimed that they healed an unruly gay man of his homosexual desires… by offering him tickets to a Cubs game. “We had so many people from the gay community reaching out to us and one man in particular from the city of Chicago reached out,” David Benham said during a panel discussion about religious liberty. “He said things to me that made me lose my appetite. But I simply responded in love.” “After a little conversation back and forth, I found out he loved baseball … and I got him tickets to a Cubs game,” Benham continued. “He shot me a Facebook post and said, ‘I was not expecting that — and I’ve been thinking a lot about this. I’ve chosen to walk away from my lifestyle.’” Isn’t that great? The crowd certainly thought so. They responded by applauding the twins, who then proceeded to blabber on about religious freedom and their fear that so many Americans have begun to “slowly turn our back on God,” which is why it is up to them to bravely stand up and defend the Christian faith. “Love filled our heart,” Benham said. “We had absolutely no hatred.” Except when it comes to gay people. “The right to speak freely means jack squat if we don’t have the courage to speak boldly!” Jason Benham added.

If you’re wondering if people are still giving handjobs, get ready for some peace of mind. Andrew Rannells stopped by Late Night With Seth Meyers Thursday to chat about his role as Hannah’s ex boyfriend/current gay bestie Elijah on HBO’s Girls. The actor who headlined the Broadway revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch last summer shared the challenges he faced when asked to perform his very first onscreen handjob. When he read the script, naturally his first thought was, “Who gives a handjob?” But being a professional actor, Rannells manned up and performed the task. He even learned that his scene partner actor hailed from his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. “He was like, ‘Do you think that the Omaha paper would write about this?'” Rannells said. “Local boys share hand job! I was like, ‘I guess we could try.'” Watch Rannells discuss his hard work below.

Al-Qaeda plotter Zacarias Moussaoui has claimed members of the Saudi royal family helped fund the 9/11 attacks. Moussaoui, imprisoned in Colorado for his role in the attacks, gave testimony in October to lawyers for 9/11 victims suing the country. His statement came to light when it was filed in court this week in response to a Saudi bid to drop the lawsuit. Saudi Arabia has rejected the accusation from a "deranged criminal" with no credibility. They have made several attempts for the lawsuit to be dropped. In a rare interview for an inmate at a high security "supermax" prison, Moussaoui said "extremely famous" Saudi officials, including Prince Turki al-Faisal Al Saud, a former Saudi intelligence chief, were funding al-Qaeda from the late 1990s. He also claimed to have met a Saudi official in Afghanistan who worked in the US embassy. The two men were later supposed to travel to Washington to find a location "suitable to launch a stinger [missile] attack" on Air Force One, Moussaoui said. His claims, made under oath, have not been verified. Moussaoui was arrested weeks before the 9/11 attacks on immigrations charges and was in prison at the time of the attacks. He had taken flying lessons in Minnesota and had been wired money by an al-Qaeda affiliate. In court at his sentencing, Moussaoui said he had been part of a grandiose plot to fly a Boeing 747 into the White House. But testimony from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - also in US custody - was used by Moussaoui's defence lawyers to undercut his claims during trial. Families of 9/11 victims allege that Saudi Arabia and a government-affiliated charity knowingly provided funding and other material support to al-Qaeda that helped it carry out the attacks. Plaintiffs include families of the nearly 3,000 people killed, as well as insurers that covered losses suffered by building owners and businesses.
Sad.
One of these guys should write a book one day....it would be a fascinating "inside" perspective. Can't imagine what it would be like to be in love with such a famous guy and have to hide it from the world.
We're maligned! Told that we are finished after 35! The younger gays love to make fun of us... and unfortunately, some of them will not even reach our ages. This thread features hot men 40, and older. It is intended to compliment those who are still looking good, and loving life! It is intended to inspire others who may have given up, and let them know that it isn't over, but it's up to them! It is intended for those, who are younger, to pause, and think; "Wait a minute...just maybe I would." Post your pics! Better yet, post your pics with ages, if you know them! Feel free to write your thoughts about older men, and what you think of them! LET'S DISCUSS AND SEE HOT SILVER DADDIES!!! ...and of course, this will be NSFW! I'll start with a few: Actor; David Pevsner--55 years old

She walked off the show Friday, and is apparently "done with it".
For instance, you were on a TV show for five seasons and the show is cancelled. You can't live off of savings forever. So what do you do until the next gig? This is based on that actress who can't afford her rent in NYC anymore.
Today I shopped in five stores for: filing and stationary, toiletries, vitamins and supplements and a few groceries. Each time, the person who served me became progressively more gay. You expect one, or maybe two shop bottoms as you go about your errands on a major city, but four in one morning? The guy in the department store where I got some toiletries was straight acting until the very end of the transaction, then he instructed me to ''enjoy your products and have a LOVELY day!'' By the time I reached the counter of the health food store the assistant almost set my face ablaze with the force of his flames. i guess he picks up the body builders who drop in for those protein powder things. We are legion, in retail.
After all wouldn't it make more sense to have the blond in the middle, between the two brunettes? Or how about having the Asian guy in between the two Caucasian men. But it is Freddie Smith smack dab in the middle, while the other two are on either side like an after thought, Why?

How do you deal with it? And why do you dread going to work? I'm new to this feeling, I've had boring jobs I didn't like (but needed the money) but now I am dreading going to work in a job that should be one I really like. Maybe I'm just scared of failing.
The first trailer is out, and Ru looks damn good with that hair.
We're currently binge-watching this series. Totally hooked (we're in the middle of Season 2). Maybe I missed it, but don't recall it being mentioned much, though it ran for 5 seasons. Two of the actors playing Noah Wiley's sons--Drew Roy and Connor Jessup--are hot as hell (imo). Anyone else a fan?

On early Sunday, Twitter exploded in fury as a “Saturday Night Live” sketch left the majority of viewers disappointed and offended. The skit, which featured “50 Shades of Grey” star Dakota Johnson, poked fun at ISIS while parodying a recently aired Toyota Camry commercial in which an emotional father (played by Taran Killiam) drives his daughter to the airport so she can join the US army. Except this time, the daughter (played by Johnson) is joining the Islamic State. Watch the short sketch below to see what all the fuss is about

Our leadership keeps thinking that the answer to economic growth and ultimately job creation is more innovation, and we continue to invest billions in it. But an innovation is worthless until an entrepreneur creates a business model for it and turns that innovative idea in something customers will buy. Because we have misdiagnosed the cause and effect of economic growth, we have misdiagnosed the cause and effect of job creation. For the first time in 35 years, American business deaths now outnumber business births. Let's get one thing clear: This economy is never truly coming back unless we reverse the birth and death trends of American businesses. It is catastrophic to be dead wrong on the biggest issue of the last 50 years -- the issue of where jobs come from...when small and medium-sized businesses are dying faster than they're being born, so is free enterprise. And when free enterprise dies, America dies with it.

Rebel Heart release date: Friday, March 6. Roundup thus far: The tracks got leaked. Madonna got sucked into Twitter wars about her use of altered photos of black civil rights heroes to flog the album's theme. And the lead single Living For Love has so far failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. She performed it live at the Grammys, to mixed reviews. Last time we did this (MDNA), Madonna did manage to eke out one week at the #1 spot. (Billboard album chart) Can she do it again?

‘Mommy blogger’ slowly poisoned son to death to drive up blog traffic, cops say The Raw Story / by David Ferguson A 26-year-old “mommy blogger” was arrested Tuesday and charged with murdering her 5-year-old son by poisoning him with salt. According to the Washington Post, blogger Lacey Spears wove an intricate web of lies about herself and her son on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, and may have killed the boy to satisfy her need for attention and the support of strangers. The Scottsville, Kentucky woman was indicted in White Plains, New York on second-degree charges of depraved murder and manslaughter in the Jan. 23 death of Garnett Paul Spears. Lacey Spears appeared in court on Tuesday, said ABC News, sitting with her head down as her attorney entered a not guilty plea. The Post said that Garnett Spears’ life was short and fraught with illness. His medical records show persistent ear infections, unexplained fevers, seizures and digestive ailments. His mother detailed the boy’s health struggles on social media and fabricated an elaborate backstory regarding his paternity. Garnett, she said, was the son of a police officer named Blake who was killed in a tragic car accident. The Daily Mail claimed that the boy’s father was actually a garage door installer named Chris Hill who lives in Georgia. In January, the boy was admitted to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, New York, when doctors noted that his sodium levels were shooting up in a way that was “metabolically impossible” for his body to do on its own. Assistant District Attorney Doreen Lloyd said in court on Tuesday that Lacey Spears would wait for hospital personnel to leave, then inject high doses of sodium into the Garnett’s gastric feeding tube. “This mother was intentionally feeding her son salt in toxic levels,” said Lloyd. “This defendant researched, planned and executed her crime against her own son in a wanton and depraved manner.” Less than a week after his hospitalization, Garnett Spears died of acute sodium poisoning. Hospital personnel found him unconscious with dilated pupils and no sign of brain activity. A neighbor told police that Lacey Spears contacted her from the hospital on the day of the boy’s death. Lacey reportedly asked for help disposing of a fluid bag of the type used with the child’s feeding tube. Police tested the bag and found that it contained high amounts of salt. If convicted in the boy’s death, Lacey Spears could face a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

To Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, peace between the US and Iran is an existential threat. By now, it should be clear to all: It's not an Iranian nuclear bomb he fears, but a US-Iran deal. In a tweet earlier this morning, the Prime Minister said as much: "We are strongly opposed to the agreement being formulated between the world powers and Iran that could endanger Israel's very existence." So we have gone from Netanyahu declaring an Iranian bomb an existential threat to Israel, to a deal between the world powers and Iran an existential threat. And it's not the specifics of the deal that is the problem, but the very notion of a deal involving the US and Iran. In fact, his Minister of Defense declared that any deal would be a threat. Netanyahu's hypocrisy is astounding. As I describe in A Single Roll of the Dice -- Obama's Diplomacy with Iran, Netanyahu has always opposed diplomacy with Iran. Not because he feared it would fail, but precisely because he feared it would work. Fuck this guy. Do the majority of Israelis prefer to be aggressive and warlike in general? I don't follow politics with Israel closely but it seems like they can't feel "safe" unless they maintain an aggressive stance at all times against any Arab or Arab affiliated country. Do they really believe that the world (US) would let them be attacked? At this point I don't trust them they are too comfortable with the idea of war.
March 2, 2015 The notoriously vitriolic and intolerant congregation expresses regret over not attending the 83-year-old actor’s private services Westboro Baptist Church had every intention to picket “Star Trek” actor Leonard Nimoy‘s Los Angeles funeral on Sunday, but the congregation, known for spewing caustic and intolerant rhetoric at high-profile funerals, was unable to attend because the location of the services were kept private. “Leonard Nimoy‘s funeral is today, but nobody is sharing WHERE. So Westboro AND @WilliamShatner can’t attend :(,” the church wrote in a Twitter message accompanying a Vine video of a man holding a neon “Love Thy Neighbor Equals Rebuke” sign. See Video: Leonard Nimoy’s Best Roles Collected: Mr. Spock and Beyond The WBC is notorious for sending members of its congregation to the funerals of soldiers and celebrities, so that they can picket the services with signs preaching intolerance and homophobia. The group’s mention of William Shatner was a reference to the actor’s recent tweet where the 83-year-old admitted he would be unable to attend the funeral of Nimoy, his longtime “Star Trek” co-star and friend, as he was previously committed to a charitable Red Cross function in Florida. “I feel really awful,” he had tweeted. “Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried.”

Lada Gaga Owns Every Damn Thing Singing “Sound Of Music” Medley At The Oscars
Mo'nique claims that she now knows why the offers didn't start flooding in after her big Oscar win in 2010. The former star of The Parkers, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the title character's abusive, domineering mother in Precious, writes in an essay in the Feb. 27 issue of The Hollywood Reporter that director-producer Lee Daniels clued her in just a few months ago. Noting that an Oscar win "normally does" lead to "more respect, choices, money" in the business, Mo'Nique writes, "But I got a phone call from Lee Daniels...And he said to me, 'Mo'Nique, you've been blackballed.' I said, 'Why?' And he said, 'Because you didn't play the game.'" After steamrolling the competition throughout the 2009-10 awards season, Mo'Nique famously didn't campaign for her Oscar, going on to say in her acceptance speech that she was grateful to the Academy "for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics." "I said, 'Well, what game is that?'" her THR piece continues. "He gave me no response." People who would say that she's "difficult," "tactless" or "tacky" would "probably be right," the actress writes. "That's why I have my beautiful husband because he's so full of tact. I'm just a girl from Baltimore. But being from that place, you learn not to let anybody take advantage of you." Since co-starring in Precious with Gabourey Sidibe, Lenny Kravitz and an unrecognizable Mariah Carey, the 47-year-old actress only has a few credits to her name, none of them major theatrical releases. Mo'Nique also writes that she was offered the role of Forest Whitaker's wife in Lee Daniels' The Butler, a part that ultimately went to Oprah Winfrey; a role in the Daniels-produced Fox hit Empire; and the role of Richard Pryor's grandmother [also now set to be played by Oprah] in the upcoming biopic Daniels is working on—but, she adds, "they all just went away." In response to Mo'Nique, Daniels said in a statement to THR: "Mo'Nique is a creative force to be reckoned with. Her demands through Precious were not always in line with the campaign. This soured her relationship with the Hollywood community. I consider her a friend. I have and will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on, however the consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way with these roles."

By request. The season is about to start. Actual game discussion would be welcome too.
Young Republicans know the GOP has an Old White Man problem. It starts with plain math. Despite America's quickly growing minority population, 89 percent of Republicans are white. The party stumbles through clunky attempts to reach young voters via social media. And the mainstream GOP is at odds even with the few millennials it has managed to snag. A 2014 Pew Research Center survey found that millennials identifying as Republican or Republican-leaning often expressed more liberal values than older conservatives. For example, 64 percent of conservative millennials agree that homosexuality should be accepted by society, whereas only 45 percent of their baby-boomer counterparts agreed. Still, half of all millennials don’t affiliate with either major political party. The good news for Republicans is, that leaves plenty of potential hearts and minds to win. Chasing that hope, and cognizant that millennials will outnumber boomers by the next election, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) hosted a new series of sessions and lectures this year—many of them in a TED Talk-like format—that revolved around activism, social media, and reaching younger voters. This “Activism Bootcamp” featured a number of younger speakers touted as conservative “millennial spokespersons.” Despite impressive credentials and an obvious drive to reach their peers, are these whippersnapper conservatives enough to ensure the GOP lasts past 2016? "Faux-intellectuals are the dingbats pontificating about gender privilege." “I think many millennials are just turned off with politics in general,” said Aubrey Blankenship of American Majority, a nonprofit organization that supports conservative activists and candidates. “However, they are turned on by many other good things, like social causes.” Blankenship said once conservatives show millennials how the party can work for them, millennials might realize that their views are actually more conservative than they think. “That same sentiment [for social causes] is a political sentiment, but millennials don’t see that,” she said. Ron Meyer Jr., president of Springboard Media Strategies, agreed that Republicans need to do more for young voters. He offered Obama’s free community college plan as an example of how Democrats make practical appeals to an indebted generation. “We don’t combat those sort of policies with ideas of our own,” he said. However one millennial rep, Caleb Boham, editor-in-chief of Campus Reform and creator of The Caleb Bonham Show, said through emails that he thought connecting with millennials is more about overcoming false media stereotypes to better appeal to the millennial generation. “We are charitable (even more than liberals), loving, an overall happy group of people who just want the government to remain faithful to its proper role and not push us around,” he said.
At least receiving. Although I enjoy it, I can never get 'clean down there'. Always fudgy. I just can't see leaving the bed to repair to the bathroom for a dump, then a douche, then a shower. Then possible leakage. The sound of me blasting shart into the commode has to be a passion-killer.

The average young woman of the Fifties had one supreme goal in life: to land herself a decent husband. He didn’t have to be devastatingly good-looking or rich. He just had to earn enough money so that she could stay at home, raise the children and never have to work for a living again. The alternative? Being labelled a spinster or old maid, and probably slaving for a lifetime in a low-paid and low-status job. From our vantage point in the 21st century, the Fifties often seems bathed in a rosy nostalgic glow. It was, after all, an era of stay-at-home mums and strong family values — exemplified by images of radiant housewives in flattering frocks, posing in front of a batch of freshly baked fairy cakes. But what was it really like to be a woman in this critical post-war decade? What did she want — and what was she thinking? -------------------- From "Perfect Wives In Ideal Homes: The Story Of Women In The 1950s," by Virginia Nicholson

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

I've been to London, Paris, Berlin, elsewhere alone, but worry I'll be in a place where there is no English spoken. Suggestions? Aside from "Grow a pair". How long is enough?

They always shoot in these massive houses, uh, mansions. Are these their homes? Are these porn directors rich? I mean, can they be making THAT much money from a shitty porn site? Also, if it is their house, do they have special bedrooms for the fuck scenes? I mean, do they actually let the guys fuck on their living room sofa?

I've never had an interest in Star Trek before (never seen one of the movies or an episode of any of the different series), but recently I started sleeping with a guy who's a big fan of the TV shows. He strongly urged me to start watching and told me I'd be sure to love it if I gave it a chance. I'm not much of a sci-fi guy, but I thought the X-Files was awesome and like the original three Star Wars movies, plus this guy is really cute so why not? Well I started watching The Next Generation (Patrick Stewart is genuinely great actor, so it gave me hope that he was in this) and I can't believe how bad it is AND how much I'm liking it. I've only seen a handful of episodes, but it's a total campfest. Everything is super 80s and it's hard to tell if the acting or writing is worse most of the time. The special effects are embarrassing too. Still I'm having some fun with it and assume it gets better? So what does the ever-opinionated DL think about Star Trek, especially the TV series? No spoilers please, but are there gay characters? Do the storylines and the caliber of acting improve? Does Star Trek even have a lot of gay fans? None of my friends watch or know anyone who does.

The next thing I know, we were in the laundry room and he was on top of the washing machine. He was trying to get into position so I could toss his salad, but trying not to rattle the machine too much and wake my boyfriend (wtf?). Have you ever had a dream like this?

CPAC straw poll: Rand Paul leads GOP 2016 hopefuls with third win - Kentucky senator takes poll from Wisconsin governor Scott Walker - Prize is a dubious one: only three winners have won presidential nomination Martin Pengelly in New York, Saturday 28 February 2015 22.45 GMT Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky won the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) presidential straw poll for a third year in a row on Saturday, beating rising 2016 hopeful Scott Walker into second place. Paul – who took 25.7% of the vote to the governor of Wisconsin’s 21.4% – won the poll in 2013 and 2014, and had been widely favoured win the hard-right CPAC attendees over once again. Paul spoke at the conference on Friday, seeking to reassure a hawkish audience over his foreign policy credentials. Walker spoke on Thursday – in his attempt to demonstrate strength on foreign affairs he appeared to compare passing anti-union legislation in Wisconsin to taking on Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, causing great offence at home. Paul’s joy will not be unbounded: in 20 CPAC straw polls for which records exist, only three winners have gone on to win the Republican nomination for president: Ronald Reagan, George W Bush and Mitt Romney. Paul’s father, the libertarian congressman Ron Paul, won in 2010 and 2011 but failed in bids for the nomination in 2008 and 2012. The Texas senator and Tea Party favourite Ted Cruz was third in the 2015 vote with 11.5%, just ahead of the retired neurosurgeon and avowed foe of Obamacare Dr Ben Carson, who took 11.4%. Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, son and brother of former presidents and establishment favourite for 2016, took 8.3% of the votes cast and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum 4.3%. Earlier, the New York Times reported that Bush supporters “organised caravans of his Washington backers” to attend the event, at which he appeared for a mildly contentious Q&A session with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday, prompting complaints from conservative media about an attempt to rig the poll. Notable names among the also-rans included another Florida politician seen by hardliners to be soft on immigration, Senator Marco Rubio, with 3.7%, and Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey who took only 2.7% despite trying to convince conference-goers in his appearance that he would be a “hard, fighting” candidate for president. Christie finished behind the real-estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump. Two notably conservative former governors, Rick Perry of Texas and Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, took 1.1% and 0.8% respectively; Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal attracted 0.9% of the vote, joining Huckabee in losing out to “undecided”. Just over 3,000 votes were cast at the three-day gathering, at a convention centre in Maryland.

The Associated Press, March 2, 2015 2:17 PM EST ... LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Daytime Emmys ceremony is returning to television with a new home on the Pop channel. The National TV academy and Pop, formerly the TV Guide Network, made the announcement Monday. The ceremony will air live from a Warner Bros. studio soundstage. After losing its longtime spot on the broadcast networks in 2012, the Daytime Emmys aired on cable news channel HLN for two years. Last year, it settled for streaming the proceedings online -- a change in fortune that reflected the dwindling daytime audience. In a statement, Pop channel President Brad Schwartz said adding such live events is among the ways the rebranded channel will grow. The 42nd annual Daytime Emmys, produced by Michael Levitt, will air live on Sunday, April 26. A host was not announced.
The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. This study examined the relationship between homophobia (defined as self-reported negative affect, avoidance, and aggression toward homosexuals) and homosexual aggression. Self-identified heterosexual college men were assigned to homophobic (n = 26) and nonhomophobic (n = 26) groups on the basis of their scores on the Homophobia Scale (HS; L. W. Wright, H. E. Adams, & J. A. Bernat, 1999). Physical aggression was examined by having participants administer shocks to a fictitious opponent during a competitive reaction time (RT) task under the impression that the study was examining the relationship between sexually explicit material and RT. Participants were exposed to a male homosexual erotic videotape, their affective reactions were assessed, and they then competed in the RT task against either a heterosexual or a homosexual opponent. The homophobic group reported significantly more negative affect, anxiety, and anger-hostility after watching the homosexual erotic videotape than did the nonhomophobic group. Additionally, the homophobic group was significantly more aggressive toward the homosexual opponent, but the groups did not differ in aggression toward the heterosexual opponent. Discuss...

Human rights campaigners have slammed a decision by award-winning musician John Legend to perform at a state-backed event in Bahrain next week. The Grammy Award-winning singer, who won an Oscar on Sunday for Best Original Song for “Glory” from the film Selma, is set to perform on Monday at the country’s Spring of Culture festival in Arad Fort, which is organised and part funded by the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities, the country’s ministry of culture. However, campaigners in the country have attacked the singer for agreeing to perform at a government-backed event in a country where the Sunni-dominated regime has been accused of widespread human rights abuses, including the use of excessive force against protesters, extra judicial killings, arbitrary detention and torture. Mr Legend’s performance – tickets have already sold out – comes after he spoke out for human rights at the most politically charged Academy Awards in recent memory on Sunday night. Accepting his award for his contribution to Selma, which depicts Dr Martin Luther King’s momentous battle to pass the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Mr Legend quoted Nina Simone, saying that “it’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times in which we live.” His speech also touched on several social justice issues, including the United States’ high incarceration rates, sparking fierce political debate. However the outspoken musician now faces charges of hypocrisy after Bahraini campaigners said he was being used to “burnish” the “bloodied reputation” of the regime. Dr Ala’a al-Shehabi, a prominent human rights activist from Bahrain Watch, said: “Bahrainis have been enduring a civil rights struggle for decades. Having John Legend sing in Bahrain should be in honour of the people who have lost life and limb in this struggle. Not in honour of the regime that wants to use him to burnish its bloodied reputation.” He added: “Bahrain is facing a human rights calamity given its small size and small population… Scores of ageing and peaceful political leaders are behind bars. If Martin Luther King was Bahraini today, he'd be serving a long prison sentence, for all of the island's leaders are in prison, on trial or in exile. This call for Mr Legend to reconsider the performance was echoed by Sayed Yousif Almuhafdah, the vice president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. He said: “I’d like to tell John Legend that my people, the people of Bahrain, are fighting the same injustice and discrimination African Americans suffered in the United States. They’re living under a dictatorship that has stripped them from their most basic human rights, democracy, justice, and freedom of speech. Bahrainis democracy campaigners are being attacked on daily basis, arrested, tortured, and unjustly detained. The people of Bahrain are paying their lives as a price for their freedom.” Mr Legend’s performance will also embarrass Amnesty International after he lent his name to a high-profile freedom of expression campaign by the charity in November. At the time the singer said he was “proud” to support the “Write for Rights” campaign which seeks to empower people “to write, tweet and speak out on human rights abuses.” His performance in Bahrain on Monday will be doubly embarrassing for Amnesty International after it issued a damming report this week on human rights violations in the country. The report found that Sunni-dominated government “continued to stifle and punish dissent” in the wake of political unrest in the country in 2011 when troops from neighbouring Saudi Arabia help the it smash protesters who were calling to end the domination of the ruling al-Khalifa dynasty, which has controlled the country for more than 200 years.

Please explain why or why not. Thanks.
I''m always reading here that he is gay as if it is a fact, but where''s the evidence?\ \ All I see is a list of relationships with women going back many years.\ \ He lived with Rebbeca De Mornay for 2 or 3 years in the early 1980''s after Risky Business. He then went on to marry Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.\ \ To me, living with a woman, being married to 3 others and having a child with one of them does not seem to be evidence of a man being gay.\ \ Am I missing something?

Just wondering. It seems to me that a lot of threads about having sex with straight men seem to get the most replies. Meanwhile, I still don't get the difference b/w straight and gay guys and one should be more desirable than the other in terms of dating.

Oh well, at least no innocent people were killed this time. A sport utility vehicle was hit by an oncoming train Monday in East Rockaway when its driver ignored warning lights and bells at a railroad crossing and drove onto the tracks, authorities said. The driver, described as an elderly woman, survived the 12:25 p.m. collision with a westbound Long Beach train at the Rocklyn Avenue crossing, just west of the Long Island Rail Road's Centre Avenue station, said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority police. Police said a witness reported that the driver of a Toyota Highlander was going south on Rocklyn Avenue when she drove her car onto the grade crossing despite red, flashing lights and the crossing gate bells sounding. As the SUV entered the crossing, the gates came down, police said, and when the vehicle stopped, the rear of the SUV remained on the tracks. The train, which had just left the Centre Avenue station, struck the rear of the SUV, shoving it off the tracks. The driver complained of neck and back injuries and was taken to South Nassau Communities Hospital in Oceanside, MTA police said.

Following a 6-2 vote Tuesday by the city council, city employees of Conway, Arkansas can (for the time being) go to work with the assurance that they can’t be fired for their sexuality or gender identity. Conway mayor Tab Townsell threw his full support behind the decision to extend protections to the town’s LGBT population despite many of his more conservative constituents voicing concern for their religious liberties. Mark Ledbetter and Mary Smith, the two council members who opposed the new protections, expressed their belief that the public had not been given adequate time to fully appreciate the implications of heightened job security for Conway’s queer workforce. Conway’s move to legally protect its LGBT employees comes just days after Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson allowed SB 202 to become law - legislation that expressly forbids local town governments from enacting pro-LGBT policies like Conway’s. Specifically SB 202 requires that: “A county, municipality, or other political subdivision of the state shall not adopt or enforce an ordinance, resolution, rule, or policy that creates a protected classification or prohibits discrimination on a basis not contained in state law.” The law is set to go into effect 90 days after the state Legislature formally adjourns, which is currently set for May. After that, Conway's ordinance will no longer protect LGBT folks. One of the chief concerns raised by opponents of SB 202 was the chilling effect that sanctioning discrimination against queer workers might have on the local economy. Following Hutchinson’s decision representatives from Tyson Foods and Walmart both spoke out on behalf of their companies, expressing their disagreement with the law. Outcry from large LGBT advocacy organizations like the HRC were conspicuously missing immediately after SB 202 went into effect, prompting Michael Signorile to claim social “malpractice.” Not seizing upon any and all opportunities to draw attention to these kinds of injustices, Signorile reasoned, was irresponsible and linked to a broader sense of gay complacency: “And it's part of the right's plan to roll back LGBT rights while many LGBT people become complacent or apathetic, buying into this idea that full civil rights are inevitable, pointing, for example, to polling about young people being more accepting, and, well, doing pretty much what many women foolishly did in the early years of the backlash against women's liberation.” HRC President Chad Griffin soon issued an official statement after widespread criticism for his organization's silence on the developments in Arkansas: "I’m proud to call Arkansas my home state—the place where my entire extended family has lived for years. I know these bills do not reflect the Arkansas values. They certainly do not reflect this state’s commitment to growing a 21st Century economy that attracts good paying jobs—and to guaranteeing a business climate that welcomes everyone who is willing to work hard and build a better future for themselves and for their community. These kinds of political attacks have been rejected by Republicans and Democrats all across this country. Let’s not let Arkansas be dragged backward by an unrepresentative minority."

I don't know WB, maybe she's on her period or going through the 'pause'. Warren Buffett thinks Elizabeth Warren should dial down the anger. “She would do better if she was less angry and demonized less,” said the Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO on Monday when CNBC anchor Joe Kernen asked for his thoughts on the Democratic senator from Massachusetts. “I believe in 'hate the sin, love the sinner,' and I also believe in praising by name and criticizing by category,” he added. Buffett, who put out his annual letter to shareholders this weekend, explained that he believes senators on both sides of the aisle need to work together on legislation. “It does not help when you demonize the people you’re talking to,” he said. In his CNBC interview, the folksy billionaire reiterated his support for Hillary Clinton’s presumed run for president in 2016.

Russell Tovey: 'My sexuality still comes up in casting' Published Saturday, Aug 24 2013, 16:56 BST | By Beth Curtis Russell Tovey has admitted that his sexuality still comes up when being cast in straight roles. The openly gay actor, who is best known for playing Rudge in The History Boys, werewolf George Sands Junior in Being Human and Steve in Him & Her, told The Guardian that questions are still asked about whether audiences can accept gay actors in straight roles. He said: "I've found out over the years that the conversation about casting me has come up: would it affect the show and the audience if I'm a gay man playing a straight character? These conversations are being had still." However, Tovey insisted that most television viewers "don't give a f**k about your private life or know who you are". The 31-year-old rose to prominence in archetypal "bloke" roles, but said that he is keen to play a gay character in future. He added: "I really want to do it properly, with something that is clever and moving everything forward rather than covering old ground. "Not someone who's gay and miserable, dying of Aids, secluded, a bit weird. I want to play someone who's normal and just happens to be gay." Tovey will next appear in crime mystery What Remains, which starts on BBC One at 9pm tomorrow (August 25).

It is an example of what is known in the television business as broadcast signal intrusion. The intruder was successful in interrupting two broadcast television stations within the course of three hours. Neither the hijacker nor any known accomplices have ever been found, caught or identified, which leaves the incident unsolved. Here's the actual footage.

I'm the OP of the thread that reported on the male country music star that will be coming out on Entertainment Tonight. I'm happy to report that the DL Super Sleuths solved the mystery within an hour! Here's the breaking story from People Magazine, ahead of the ET story! ***************** Five years ago, country singer Ty Herndon finally recognized that he had a very important story to share. "During an Anthony Robbins seminar, I realized I had an incredible story that could possibly help someone's son or daughter or grandchild's life not be as difficult as mine has been," he tells PEOPLE. "Maybe they wouldn't have to go through as much pain and suffering. It's time to tell my truth." That "truth" is about a part of himself he has kept secret for his entire career: "I'm an out, proud and happy gay man," the Nashville artist revealed to PEOPLE during a sit-down in New York Tuesday. (Herndon appears on Entertainment Tonight Thursday at 7 p.m. ET, his first TV interview about his journey.) The revelation was many years in the making for the 51-year-old singer, who first wondered if he was gay when he was about 10 years old and then began coming out to close family members at 20. "My mother probably knew I was gay before I did. I remember sitting down with her and having the conversation," recalls Herndon, noting his career path in country worried her. But, ultimately, "she was more concerned about me having a happy life. You have to be able to do that in your own skin, and [my family] has seen me struggle with being gay my whole career." [bold]Some Early Snags[/bold] While his professional start was promising (he was earning steady airplay with hit singles including "What Mattered Most," "Living in a Moment" and "It Must Be Love"), the singer hit some snags along the way – including an indecent exposure charge for allegedly exposing himself to a police officer in 1995 (the charge was later dropped in a plea bargain) and subsequent time in rehab for drug addiction. "I have made a lot of mistakes in my life. They've been my mistakes, and I own them," says Herndon, who was married to women twice before coming to terms with his sexuality. (He says both ex-wives knew he was gay.) "I've done a lot of work around forgiveness with people that I've hurt and people I've not been honest with because of my sexuality." Herndon's revelation follows fellow country artist Chely Wright's coming out to PEOPLE in 2010. [bold]Longtime Partner[/bold] Wright, a close friend of his, played a big part in his coming out – as did his longtime partner, Matt. A mutual friend introduced the couple, and they spoke on the phone for six months before meeting. As a one-year anniversary and Christmas present, Matt brought them to that fateful Anthony Robbins seminar in 2009 that reminded him of his own struggle – and his wish to spare others that pain. "I was 10, sitting in church and horrified that I might be a homosexual. Whatever that word meant, I knew that I probably was one," Herndon recalls. "And I know there's a lot of those kids still out there. Telling my story is an opportunity to help just one of them," says Herndon. "They can be loved by God, they can be married one day, they can have a family, they can give their parents grandkids," Herndon adds. "And they're not broken, they're not sinners and they're perfectly beautiful." Both the singer and his partner are practicing Christians, and Herndon says it's taken time to reconcile his faith with his sexuality. But he's getting there. "I sit on the tailgate of my pickup truck, and I meditate, and I talk to God," he says. "That's really all I need to know. I have a connection to something bigger than myself, and no one's going to tell me that I can't have it. We get to choose who we love, and that includes God, and he loves us back." (continued)

Senator Rand Paul, of Kentucky, seems to have no problem contradicting himself. The self-proclaimed "constitutional conservative" is typically lost in libertarian thought leading him to make inflammatory sexist, racist and overbearingly hypocritical comments on nearly every issue he faces. Whether he's attempting to police women's bodies, ignoring police brutality for stingy tobacco taxes, or speaking out against vaccines and posting himself receiving booster shots only days later, Ron Paul's son is one politician you can unabashedly hate or enjoy laughing at.

I am enjoying it thoroughly. Anyone watching? I like the actress playing the lead character and her clones, and really enjoy the gay foster brother (I've always had a thing for hot campy guys). Maria Doyle Kennedy does "woebegone and stern" very well (The Tudors; Downton), but I have a feeling she'll get a chance to show more as the foster mom/grandmother as this goes on. Is the setting supposed to be Toronto?
Yum.

The "Luke Evans is straight now!" one was just bizarre. Giving a guy who was once out a "girlfriend" and shoving him back in the closet....then suddenly forgetting about the girlfriend and doing the "I don't talk about my personal life" thing. What were his people even thinking? Can you think of any other PR campaigns that were just strange or did more harm than good?

A Quebec judge told a woman appearing in her Montreal courtroom she would not hear her case until she removed her hijab. "Hats and sunglasses for example, are not allowed. And I don't see why scarves on the head would be either," the female judge says in the recording. "The same rules need to be applied to everyone. I will therefore not hear you if you are wearing a scarf on your head, just as I would not allow a person to appear before me wearing a hat or sunglasses on his or her head, or any other garment not suitable for a court proceeding." Do you agree? Link below for the audio recording of the Judge

I turned it off after twenty minutes. It was like something USA Network would have aired a decade ago. there was nothing Midwestern about it. Why make a show about a Midwestern city and title it after a Midwestern city and make it feel like it takes place in Long Beach?
I think it's so strange when people act like torture and lies by the government is some new thing. FDR knew that Japan was going to bomb Pearl Harbor, but kept it secret so he had an excuse to enter WW2. He allowed thousands of innocent men and women to die so he could convince the "average person" to enter WW2. Fuck him, and the people that love his bullshit. You are the same moronic thug assholes that allowed Bush to invade and bomb the Middle East based on bullshit.
I''m curious what it was like in the early 80''s when people started dying but know one knew why. What did you do? Did you stop having sex? If you hadn''t come out yet did it keep you in? I was talking to one man recently who said he turned to religion. (but came out of it)\ \ I can''t imagine what the fear must have been like. It seems the whole period has been forgotten by people my age.

The masked Islamic State militant known as "Jihadi John", who has been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of Western hostages, has been named. The BBC understands he is Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born British man believed to be from West London, who was known to UK security services. They chose not to disclose his name earlier for operational reasons. Emwazi first appeared in a video last August, when he apparently killed the American journalist James Foley. He was later thought to have been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of US journalist Steven Sotloff, British aid worker David Haines, British taxi driver Alan Henning, and American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known as Peter. Last month, the militant appeared in a video with the Japanese hostages Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto, shortly before they were killed. Emwazi is believed to be an associate of a former UK control order suspect, who travelled to Somalia in 2006 and is allegedly linked to a facilitation and funding network for Somali militant group al-Shabab.

New Kids on the Block's Jonathan Knight Will Compete on The Amazing Race By Patrick Gomez, 12/19/2014 AT 09:05 PM EST Does Jonathan Knight have the right stuff to win The Amazing Race? The former New Kids on the Block member and his boyfriend, Harley Rodriguez, have been revealed as one of 11 couples competing on the next season of the CBS reality competition. Knight, 46, and his personal trainer boyfriend, 41, have more than six years' experience traveling together as a couple, which they can draw on as they race around the world, but not all of the competitors will have that same advantage. For the first time in the show's 13 years on the air, five of teams will be comprised of strangers who have been paired together by the show for the ultimate blind date.

She was addicted to the attention. She's an avid mommy blogger and every post got her attention, especially posts about her son being sick. So she tried to gain more sympathy by poisoning her son three times. "Oh, my little angel is sick and has to go to the hospital. Please pray." By the third time she went too far and the son died. "My little angel went to heaven at 10:20 today and is now a real angel." Tons of sympathy posts followed giving her the attention she craved.

Both of my penises can ejaculate and when they cum one after another I have an orgasm that lasts for a solid 60 seconds+. Fortunately, each penis is the same size so it's pretty easy to double masturbate, but it looks a little chaotic towards the end so I have never engaged in sex with another guy. I'm almost 25 now and I would like to meet someone to develop a relationship, but I'm afraid of being rejected for being a freak. Would any of you younger guys on this board consider such a friend? What would your reaction be to someone unusual like myself in bed?

On Starz, and in the great tradition of the groundbreaking show, Spartacus, once again we get another hyper-masculine gay character. This time, he's one of the main protagonists: a gay pirate! There are some hot men on the show who are not afraid to show some peen, the cinematography is stunning, the story is rich and engrossing, and the character development puts Game of Thrones to shame. Love this show! Anyone else watching?
The film was made in 1992 by the Dutch. It is a story of a Canadian soldier, during WWll, who falls in love this teenage boy while stationed in Holland.

Thebox shut itself down last year, only to create a new "secret" site, ZXCV. Well, the latter was finally closed a few days ago. It was the best place to get rare British television shows.

%0D Goldie Hawn's former husband Bill Hudson, father of her actress daughter Kate Hudson, is shopping a devastating tell-all book about his ex. %0D %0D The proposal, tentatively titled "So You Are a Star," teases: "What if your ex-wife used her public platform to spread rumors about your relationship with your children?" It describes Hawn as "a movie star who enjoyed having 'open relationships' and limiting access to their children." %0D %0D Musician Bill, who divorced Hawn in 1979, has remained estranged from their children Kate and Oliver, who were raised by Goldie and her longtime partner, Kurt Russell.%0D %0D After meeting Hawn in 1975, Hudson writes, they once made love for 12 hours until she confessed she was seeing another man. But she sobbed, "You're my soul mate . . . it's just that I've always believed in open marriage." He continues, "We made love everywhere . . . airplane bathrooms, rooftops, under the covers in first-class . . . just any and every place we could find." %0D %0D He claims actor George Segal told him he once tried to flirt with Goldie during filming, but he was turned down -- "You must be pretty special to her because everybody knows Goldie's always up for a good time." %0D %0D Bill told us last night that Kate and Goldie "have said things about me to the press that are untrue, that I abandoned my family. I tried to stay in contact with my children, but Goldie made it impossible." %0D %0D He said that when his mother became sick two years ago, Kate refused to return his phone calls and texts. He claimed, "Kate has used the story of her being abandoned by me because she needed tragedy in her life. She grew up privileged in Hollywood with private planes. Nobody was going to sympathize unless she had some tragedy." %0D %0D Diane Nine, Bill's agent, said, "We are meeting with publishers next week. But the proposal is quite explosive.

Final Glee episode pays tribute to Cory Monteith, says Kevin McHale By Harry Fletcher Friday, Feb 20 2015, 12:27pm EST Kevin McHale has spoken about the upcoming Glee finale. The actor revealed that the final episode of the sixth and final series of the Fox show will pay tribute to his former co-star, the late Cory Monteith. Speaking to Access Hollywood, McHale said: "I think [Finn] is always remembered and especially at a time like this at the very end, there will definitely be some sort of mention of him. "He'll be involved in some way." Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room from a mixed drug toxicity on July 13, 2013, drawing tributes from fans and friends the world over. The actor and his character Finn were honored in Glee's season 5 episode 'The Quarterback', which first aired a few months after Monteith's death. McHale – who plays Artie Abrams on the show – also spoke about the series finale of Glee, saying that he was "happy" with it as a conclusion to the series. "I'm satisfied. I was reading it and the last two episodes are airing back-to-back, so it's kinda this double whammy all at the end," he explained. "I think [viewers will] be happy. I was happy. They tie up a lot of great storylines and you get to see these people in a new light and follow their journey. "These characters have gone through a lot, and I think there's a good payoff at the end."

I was talking late one night over drinks with a straight co-worker - dishing about a 'Bi' guy in our office. "Oh, he's a total Top," said my friend. "He won't suck a dick or take it up the ass. He told me so. He'll cuddle, but won't kiss a guy. No way!" "Well, then he's not gay." "Of course he is! He likes to get ..." "His dick sucked. Yeah. That's not GAY that's being a GUY." So there we have it. We pondered that for a while. Does having a guy suck your dick make you gay? Or are the truly gay guys the ones that actually want and crave cock? I personally think TOPS are frauds.
Most gay porn is so vanilla. Lousy camera angles, boring models, no sensuality. The worst is when it's 20 minutes of passionless banging and asshole closeups. Oral cumshots are extremely rare. Straight porn actually shows of the girls, and the girls act just so much more into it.

Twilight star Kellan Lutz has been plagued by gay rumors like most other single studs in Hollywood, but the actor says he’s not gay and only insecure girls assume he is. “I don’t Google myself, but I’ve heard that people think I’m gay… Most of the girlfriends I’ve had have come after me. So it’s really funny when girls get offended because I don’t hit on them,” Kellan, 26, told The Advocate‘s Brandon Voss in a recent interview. “They’ll transform their insecurity into, ‘Oh, that makes sense, because I heard you’re into guys and have a boyfriend.’ I’m like, ‘Seriously? That’s your tactic to get me to like you?’ There will always be rumors, but I know who I am.” PHOTOS: Kellan Lutz And Anne V Model For Dylan George However, Kellan expresses no animosity towards the LGBT community and says he loves his gay fans — and even prefers them as roommates! “Oh, they’re the best. I love them. When I meet gay fans out and about, they’re so great to talk to — and I’m big on hugging, because I’m from the Midwest,” Kellan said. “I’m proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me. I don’t want just girls coming to my movies; I want guys to come too. Kellan Lutz Says He Doesn’t Have Time To Find A Girlfriend “Honestly, I’d prefer to live with gay guys. They’re the cleanest, and they just take care of stuff. Because I’m always away, coming home to a clean house means a lot to me. Trust me, I’ve lived with a lot of roommates, and straight guys are just kids who don’t pick up after themselves.” To read Kellan’s full interview, click here.

Yeah, the mes are greasy and long-haired (80s) and often straight (though I don't always believe that every troupe is sooo straight and there are no gay men. Come on.)

Openly gay, experimental filmmaker Todd Haynes burst upon the scene two years after his graduation from Brown University with his now-infamous 43-minute cult treasure "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story" (1987). Seizing upon the inspired gimmick of using Barbie and Ken dolls to sympathetically recount the story of the pop star's death from anorexia, he spent months making miniature dishes, chairs, costumes, Kleenex and Ex-Lax boxes, and Carpenters' records to create the film's intricate, doll-size mise-en-scene. The result was both audacious and accomplished as the dolls seemingly ceased to be dolls leaving the audience weeping for the tragic singer.
You know the saying "there's someone for everyone"? Well, it's true. Butch Patrick, 57, who played young Eddie Munster on "The Munsters" TV show in the '60s, is getting married. And not to just anybody. He'll tie the knot with his self-described "biggest fan," with whom he used to correspond when they were kids. News of the impending nuptials sent Web searches on the groom sky high. But not even the surge of interest in all things Butch Patrick (his signature widow's-peak hairdo is particularly popular in the Search box) could match the level of lookups for his betrothed, Donna McCall. Here's the story: When Mr. Patrick starred on "The Munsters," he and Ms. McCall would write back and forth to each other. Donna, it turns out, was a big fan and had a massive crush on the youngest Munster. According to My Fox Philly, years passed and the two fell out of touch. Then, Ms. McCall, now 55, tracked him down on the Internet. The two exchanged phone numbers, talked, and agreed to meet for the first time at "Dracula Con II" in Philadelphia. Next thing you know, they're engaged. Ms. McCall is a former cheerleader with the Philadelphia Eagles, a fact that helped contribute to the booming searches on "donna mccall eagles" and "donna mccall cheerleader." In an article for Philly.com, Mr. Patrick joked that while he does hear from female fans fairly often, not many are cheerleaders. Says the future Mrs. Munster: "My first crush was Butch Patrick. I met him for the first time, but I feel like I've known him forever." McCall accepted Patrick's proposal (of course), and now the two are set to tie the knot. "It's a great love story," says Ms. McCall, a retired pharmacist. "We're very happy together." Congratulations, guys!

The fat cats in Washington D.C. are living the high life, and they are doing it at your expense. Over the past decade, there has been one area of the country which has experienced a massive economic boom. Thanks to wildly out of control government spending, the Washington D.C. region is absolutely swimming in cash. In fact, at this point the state of Maryland has the most millionaires per capita in the entire nation and it isn’t even close. If you have never lived there, it is hard to describe what the D.C. area is like. Every weekday morning, hordes of lawyers, lobbyists and government bureaucrats descend upon D.C. from the surrounding suburbs. And at the end of the day, the process goes in reverse. Everyone is just trying to get their piece of the pie, and it is a pie that just keeps on growing as government salaries, government contracts and government giveaways just get larger and larger. Of course our founders never intended for this to happen. They wanted a very small and simple federal government. Sadly, today we have the most bloated central government in the history of the planet and it gets worse with each passing year. If you were to ask most Americans, they would tell you that the wealthiest Americans probably live in cities such as New York or San Francisco. But thanks to the Obama administration (and before that the Bush and Clinton administrations), the state of Maryland is packed with millionaires. In particular, the Maryland suburbs immediately surrounding D.C. are absolutely overflowing with government fat cats that make a living at our expense. Every weekday morning, huge numbers of them leave their mini-mansions in places such as Potomac and Rockville and drive their luxury vehicles to work in the city. As the Washington Post has detailed, at this point approximately 8 percent of all households in the entire state of Maryland contain millionaires, and the rest of the area is not doing too shabby either… In Maryland, nearly 8 out of every 100 households in 2014 had assets topping $1 million, giving the state more millionaires per capita than any other in the country, according to a new report from Phoenix Marketing International. The rest of the Beltway isn’t lacking in millionaires either: The District and Virginia ranked in the top 10 among those with the highest number of millionaire households per capita in 2014. In Virginia, which was No. 6 on the list, 6.76 percent of the state’s 3.17 million households are millionaires. And in the District, which rounds out the top 10, 6.25 percent of its more than 292,000 households are millionaires. And while not too many of them are millionaires, your average federal workers that toil in D.C. are doing quite well too. Once upon a time, it was considered to be a “sacrifice” to go into “government service”. Not anymore. If you can believe it, approximately 17,000 federal employees made more than $200,000 last year. Overall, compensation for federal employees comes to a grand total of close to half a trillion dollars every 12 months. In fact, there are tens of thousands of federal employees that make more than the governors of their own states do. Does that seem right to you? If you want to live “the American Dream” these days, the Washington area is the place to go. Just check out the following description of the region from the Washington Post… Washingtonians now enjoy the highest median household income of any metropolitan area in the country, and five of the top 10 jurisdictions in America — Loudoun, Howard and Fairfax counties, and Falls Church and Fairfax City — are here, census data shows. The signs of that wealth are on display all over, from the string of luxury boutiques such as Gucci and Tory Burch opening at Tysons Galleria to the $15 cocktails served over artisanal ice at the W Hotel in the District to the ever-larger houses rising off River Road in Potomac.

You can't all be Christian freepers, can you? I know some gay people are also always pointing accusing fingers at people who actually do things with their penises.

My friend is a natural businessman. He's not afraid of money and talking about it. He knows the value of money and how things should be priced. Most importantly, he knows that the majority of people ARE fearful of discussing money. He easily takes advantage of that, as do so many businessmen. What's not so great is to talk with someone for whom money trumps everything. Every conversation has money in it. My advice to those making major purchases is that everything is negotiable. Also, if you feel uncomfortable about any part of the purchase, don't pretend you completely understand everything. Stop and make the salesman slow down and explain properly. Finally, the salesman is not your friend. Stop feeling the salesman will think less of you if don't do everything he says.
Live and gorgeous
This morning, I was reading about recently released Cuban spy Gerardo Hernandez and politics aside, he is extremely hot. He reminds me of a slightly older more kinky looking version of Timothy Olyphant. I also read that while he was still prison, he was allowed to send some of his sperm back to Cuba to father a child with his wife. I wish I had been there to help him fill the cup. Any thoughts on the curb appeal of my new lustee? And, why are all of the cute guys- taken!?

I found this even more disturbing then the Charlie massacre. Avijit Roy and the other atheists/secularists who confront islam and religion head on, no holds barred are the truly brave among us.
But yet as much detail as the New York Times story has on so many aspects of his life, it mentions nothing about the legitimate news speculation of him being gay and closeted and him shutting down his Twitter and Instagram accounts when it was discovered that he was following 19-year old diver Tom Daley. Or why he voted against marriage equality and against the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Come on, NY Times!

As the deadly carbon monoxide fumes from a gasoline-powered generator filled his lungs, a suicidal Conrad Roy III got scared and stepped out of his truck, but police say his 18-year-old girlfriend goaded him into taking his life with three chilling words: “Get back in.” Roy, 18, was found dead on July 13 inside his truck in the parking lot of a Fairhaven Kmart. “The sickly sweet taste of exhaust gas still could be detected,” according to police. Michelle Carter, who was a 17-year-old student at King Philip Regional High School at the time of Roy’s death, faces up to 20 years behind bars on a charge of involuntary manslaughter and will be tried as an adult. “Michelle Carter not only encouraged Conrad to take his own life, she questioned him repeatedly as to when and why he hadn’t done it yet, right up to the point of when his final text was sent to her on Saturday evening, July 12, 2014 at 6:26 p.m.,” the police report states. Carter referred to Roy as her “guardian angel,” and continued texting his cellphone 71 times after he died, according to police. After his death, the messages show Carter morphing into a suicide awareness crusader, hosting a fundraiser in his name and comforting his grieving mother and sister, according to the filings. The night before Roy’s suicide, Carter texted a friend, seemingly worried about his whereabouts: “I’m losing all hope that he’s even still alive” — and “I’m thankful that our last words were ‘I love you.’ ” But just before sending that message, she texted Roy: “Let me know when you’re gonna do it.” Police say Carter never called 911 and instead continued texting her friends, feigning concern. After Roy’s death, police say Carter exchanged emails with Roy’s mother, Lynn, trying to comfort and reassure her: “I tried talking him out of it so many times,” Carter wrote, “and telling him how we could always be together and he wanted that but he thought he would never truly be happy with himself.” She even organized a baseball fundraiser called “Homers for Conrad” that pulled in more than $2,300 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. No one answered the phone at Carter’s Plainville home yesterday. But her lawyer, Joseph Cataldo, told the Herald, “It’s a sad story but what we have is a young man who made a voluntary decision to take his own life — it was his voluntary decision — his death was not caused by Michelle Carter. “It is a slippery slope if the government is now going to prosecute people under a manslaughter — a 20-year felony charge — for not preventing those who want to commit suicide and that’s what they’re trying to do here,” Cataldo said. Roy’s distraught grandparents called the tale “bizarre” and “mind-boggling” and said they were “shocked” when they heard about Carter’s emails and texts. “It was just horrible to live this all over again and to find out how this came about. I mean, we knew he was suffering from depression, but we thought he was getting over it all,” Janice Roy, his grandmother, said in her Mattapoisett home. Asked if they thought Carter’s messages convinced Roy to kill himself, his grandfather Conrad Roy Sr. said, “Her texts had a big influence on what happened.” Added Janice Roy: It’s hard to say why, but after reading the reports ... I don’t think he would have done anything at that time.” Both remembered a happy grandson who loved baseball and rowing and was ecstatic when he earned his captain’s license, following in both his father and grandfather’s footsteps. Conrad Roy Sr. said he took him out on his tug boat when “C3” was just 3-days-old. “That was like the start of the third generation when he got his captain’s license,” Roy said. “That was like the most heart-warming thing that I could remember.”

What happened to her face? She's only 2 yrs older than me and most of my friends and none of us look half as bad as she does. You would think with her money she'd be able to take better care of her skin _______________________ She may still have a figure which could be the envy of women decades younger, but sadly for Melanie Griffith there is only so much diet and exercise can do to stave of signs of aging. The 54-year-old actress looked somewhat odd as she arrived at the Best In Drag Show to raise money for AIDS treatment in Los Angeles. Melanie admitted in the past to collegen injections an has been thought to have had a face lift. The star showed off her still-slender figure in fitted black trousers teamed with a youthful white shirt and leather jacket. The overall effect was somewhat disjointed however, as the attire made a marked contrast to her face, which looked like it was wearing the effects of both her advancing years and a face lift.
My bet, no one would show, not even the nellies.

Right before Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress Tuesday, a story began to spread Sunday that President Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets if they attacked Iranian nuclear facilities, with predictable results. They all ran with it: World Net Daily, Breitbart, Newsmax, Washington Times, Fox Nation, and, of course, Megyn Kelly, who – again of course – reports it as fact, not rumor. And she thinks Jon Stewart has been unfair to her. Right. The report comes to us from religiously conservative Israeli news source, Arutz Sheva, which in turn gleaned it from Bethlehem-based news agency, Ma’an, which in turn got it from the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, which had apparently obtained it from anonymous sources in the Israeli government. The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran. Following Obama’s threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack. According to the report, Netanyahu decided to strike Iran in 2014 when they found out the U.S. was actually talking to Iran, “because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel’s security.” An unknown Israeli minister told John Kerry, who told Obama, who decided to act based on Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 2009 recommendation that Israeli planes be shot down if they attack Iran. To tell you how absolutely outrageous this claim is, even Breitbart expressed dismay and doubt, saying “the news would appear to hang somewhere north of ‘astonishing,’ but south of ‘unbelievable.'” And Tzvi Ben-Gedalyahu wrote at the conservative Jewish Press yesterday that, “The report has no confirmation from any other source and appears at first glance to be an invention of an imaginative editor.” While acknowledging Al-Jarida editor Mohammed al-Sager’s credentials, he goes on to opine that, The idea that President Barack Obama would order the U.S. Air Force to down an Israeli seems like a Grade-B horror movie plot…The report may be fantasy, but the fact that Al Jarida dared to report it says a lot about perceptions of the relationship between Netanyahu and Obama. Roger L. Simon opines that the report “is not likely true,” and that, “More likely, the report, which emerged from Kuwait, is disinformation timed to discredit Prime Minister Netanyahu and make him seem a warmonger in advance of his address to Congress Tuesday.” None of this clear-thinking has stopped the right wing, generally more than ready to believe anything bad about Obama, explode with outrage at the idea, as the comments at Breitbart demonstrate: Chuck Finley: It’s now official, Obama is on the side of EVIL. Well, not really. It’s a rumor even Breitbart finds difficult to credit, and these guys INVENT news. Sipius is probably reading some of that invented news as he claims that “our military reduced and gutted to pay for entitlements…” Geeman gave voice to racist crackers everywhere when he complained, “Who knew Obama was talking about transforming America into a Muslim country? I was worrying about his white commie half when I should have been worried about his black Muslim half.” Anyone introducing a hint of an actual fact into the conversation, like Sancho Panzer for pointing out that even Meir Dagan, head of Israel’s secret service Mossad, recently said that Netanyahu himself is the man who has “caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel” gets “flagged…for stupidity.” Because you have to be stupid to disagree with these ill-informed braniacs. No facts will be allowed to enter the echo chamber. Yet according to The Times of Israel just a few days ago, “For all his tough rhetoric on Iran, Dagan said Netanyahu had backed down from taking military action against Iran in the past because “all of the professional bodies were opposed.” This additional piece from Aruta Sheva seems to back up this analysis. Ed Driscoll writes, “If this report is true, who at this late stage in Mr. Obama’s administration who’s been paying the slightest bit of attention to his actions would be at all surprised by it?” In any case, “I wish Obama was half as mad at ISIS as he is at Netanyahu,” Jon Gabriel of Ricochet tweets. Or as Mark Steyn asked last month when the media ginned up the Rudy kerfuffle, if Obama was “working for the other side, what exactly would he be doing differently?” Islamophobe-in-chief Pamela Geller, having once invented the “fact” of Obama’s anti-Semitism, , is now saying, “I told you so.” He doesn’t even pretend anymore. And the terrible reality is that there are so many on the left who love this — The Democrats have become the anti-Israel party with the anti-semite-in-chief. In other words, something that didn’t happen proves something she invented is true. Ouch. That hurts my brain. A couple of comments at her Atlas Shrugged site are also illustrative of right wing hysteria over a mere third-and rumor: WarEagle82: The Republic has been overthrown by Marxists. Mordy: Enemy of America. Enemy of Israel. Enemy of Holiness Mordy even compares Netanyahu to Esther (doesn’t he know that’s Sarah Palin?): Like Queen Esther, P.M. Netanyahu broke protocol and also will not be silent in the face of an existential Persian threat to destroy the Jewish People. And DanaR commented at Newsmax that, “And here we have Obama showing he would protect Iran over Israel.” It doesn’t even occur to any of these “patriots” that by attacking Iran, Israel would have been drawing the United States into a war on its behalf, essentially setting American foreign policy with a fait accompli. Or that preventing Israel from controlling U.S. foreign policy is not a defense of Iran but a very legitimate defense of U.S. interests. It becomes apparent, in thinking about all this, why John Boehner and Benjamin Netanyahu get along. I have no help to offer Geller’s fanboys and fangirls, but maybe, when Netanyahu gets voted out of office, and Boehner gets ousted as Speaker of the House, the two can meet at Boehner’s Florida mansion paid for with Koch dollars, and discuss the might-have-been dystopian futures they tried to bring about.

I know there is a thread on this, but this is a better subject title. After being fired herself, Erica Hill went around shopping for a new job at the various networks. She found an opening at Weekend Today when Amy Robach left for ABC. But the Saturday shift wasn't enough for her. She wanted Saturday AND Sunday (which was being held by Jenna Wolfe) So Jenna got demoted to newsreader on weekends, and now Erica Hill will be weekend co-host on both Saturday AND Sunday. Sound fair?
If so, what am I doing wrong?
They're a bunch of baloney. There's no scientific evidence that they amount to anything. There's no scientific method to even reading them. Why on Earth are they still used by law enforcement? It's amazing that people get jobs as "experts." Everyone is shocked when someone passes one and they were the perpetrator. Then there are those who fail and end up having nothing to do with anything. The police make all kinds of excuses, saying, "Well, the person felt guilty about so and so being murdered and couldn't do anything to stop it, and that showed deception." The public really doesn't understand how unreliable these things are. Calling them "lie detector tests" is part of the problem. They don't detect lies.

1 hour ago William Shatner sent out a series of Tweets on Saturday expressing his grief over the loss of one his "dearest friends," Leonard Nimoy. Sadly, due to a prior commitment that poses a scheduling conflict, Shatner is unable to attend Nimoy's funeral on Sunday. "I am currently in FL as I agreed to appear at the Red Cross Ball tonight. Leonard's funeral is tomorrow. I can't make it back in time," he explained, adding in another Tweet, "I feel really awful. Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried." hatner, who starred as Captain James T. Kirk on "Star Trek," asked that fans keep his former co-star in their thoughts as he is laid to rest. "So maybe tomorrow we come together here and celebrate his life," the actor Tweeted and continued, "So let's spend some time tomorrow celebrating Leonard's life and remembering the man." He also took time to thank everyone who has paid tribute to the late star. "I am so humbled by the worldwide outpouring of love that has been displayed; words cannot express my feelings," he wrote in one Tweet and further expressed gratitude in another that read, "There are so many people who I need to say thank you to." Shatner ended his series of Tweets with one final note, "Until tomorrow! #LLAP." #LLAP stands for Nimoy's famous "Star Trek" line, "Live long and prosper." On Friday, the day Nimoy passed, Shatner Tweeted, "I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love." Nimoy died Friday morning "after a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in Bel Air. Mr. Nimoy was 83 years old," a spokesperson for the actor told Access Hollywood .

For me, it's the rumor about Aretha Franklin's kids being fathered by her own father. Freaky.
I recently saw a pig of a women drag her maybe five year old daughter into the toilets crying. I was shocked at how rough she was being with this poor child. To make matters worse she was screaming at her for wetting herself. 'I told you to wait you disgusting girl' look what you've done. Jerking her around and smacking her. It goes on and was quite disturbing. I was waiting for my friend so i saw it all. I wanted to say something but she was violent and unpredictable. But i did stare her down with the most intense scorpio fuck you glare i could manage. She stared back as she walked out but said nothing. Everyone else totally ignored it. I regret my actions because i believe i had the right to stop her or report her. What are the laws reguarding your own children and what would you do or say?
Removed from ventilator, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition unchanged: source Thu Feb 19, 2015 3:05pm EST (Reuters) - Doctors have taken Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of late singer Whitney Houston, off the ventilator that has helped her breathe since she was found unresponsive in a bathtub last month, but no decisions have been made to take her off life support, a family source said on Thursday. The source, who declined to be identified, said Brown's overall condition has not changed. Removing the breathing tube was a standard course of practice to avoid infection, the source said. Family members have said Brown, 21, the only child of singers Bobby Brown and Houston, is fighting for her life at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after she was discovered on Jan. 31 face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban home. They have said little about the aspiring singer's treatment or medical prognosis, and Bobby Brown has asked for privacy. Police in Roswell, Georgia, are treating the case as a criminal investigation and have been questioning people about the circumstances leading up to Brown being found in the tub. Brown's famous mother, a six-time Grammy Award winner and actress who battled substance abuse, drowned in a hotel bathtub in Beverly Hills, California, on Feb. 11, 2012. Authorities said cocaine use and heart disease contributed to Houston's death at age 48.

Michael Lohan, 2.0? Kate Hudson's biological father Bill Hudson has long been removed from her life, and the actress and new mom considers Goldie Hawn's longtime love Kurt Russell to be her dad. But now, the musician, 61, is coming out of the woodworks to bash his famous daughter -- and his ex-wife -- in a tell-all memoir. "Life in the spotlight is not without its consequences, and the Hudson family was no exception," the book's website says. "After [his divorce from Hawn in 1980], Bill found himself in the middle of the controversial issue of parental alienation. His rights as a father to see his children were often played out in the media because Oliver and Kate became actors themselves." (Kate's brother Oliver Hudson, 35, currently stars in Rules of Engagement.) Bill hasn't held back his contempt for his 32-year-old daughter. "Kate doesn't have to talk to me, and she doesn't have to give [me] a dime of her millions," he told RadarOnline.com. "All I want is for her to call [her grandmother who is battling Alzheimer's disease] and say,'Hi grandma,' before it's too late." "I love Kate, but... she had done stuff which is just awful," he continued. "She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother." Kate and fiance Matt Bellamy welcomed son Bingham "Bing" Hawn Bellamy in June. She also has a 7-year-old son, Ryder, from her relationship with ex-husband Chris Robinson.

I met a guy who had a reputation of being a great fuck. Rumor had it that even porn stars would go to home to get fucked. He didn't have that great a face but was slim. And yes there was something about his cock that still makes me remember it in my ass all these years later. As we fucked, he suddenly said, "will you wear a woman's bra and panties for me? It really turns me on." His cock felt so good that I would do anything for more. I put on the stuff and he kept asking, " doesn't it feel so good?" I could see him getting more and more turned on so I went along. What an amazing night of fucking. Too bad he moved across country.
Rosie O'Donnell's marriage is beyond saving.

Ronaldo was attending the official launch of his new underwear range, CR7, and anyone wondering what his debut collection looks like didn’t have to look too far - a 19-metre tall campaign image featuring the chiseled winger in all his glory was suspended above in the landmark building’s renaissance courtyard. Meanwhile the man in question, never shy about coming forward, was clearly delighted as he posed for photos between its legs. ‘I am very proud to officially launch CR7 today and especially to see my campaign image displayed in this beautiful building, one of the most famous landmarks in Madrid,’ he said.‘I put a lot of passion and dedication into creating this new underwear line and I am delighted to finally launch it globally today. ‘ Ronaldo has previously modelled for Armani Jeans, but his latest campaign marks an inaugural brand venture and his first attempt at fashion designing. His design debut was aided by Richard Chai – best known for his collaborations with Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen.‘Fashion and design are two passions of mine and I have wanted to launch my own brand for a long time. Working on this collection alongside Richard has given me a great creative outlet and I have loved every part of collaborating on the range, from selecting the colours and designs to testing the styles and fits myself,’ he said. ‘I am very proud that the collection is launching worldwide today.’ Ronaldo's new underwear range will be available to buy via www.cr7underwear.com from November 1.
At first I thought "no." Now, I'm not so sure. I came clean with a guy I was attracted to when he asked why I was backing off from our friendship. Time went by. I found out it wasn't so hard to be around him. Now, something has settled in that's okay. I'm sure it's different in every instance, but I found myself liking this guy more than I found myself loving him. Anyone else been in a similar experience?

I was wondering when this was going to happen. Nina Pham defended Dallas Presbyterian when she was under their care, but they let all of their personnel (and the public) down with their poor planning and response. It's a very long article, so I won't post it. But two things stuck out. How can a modern hospital in a major metropolitan center not have any hazmat suits on hand? [quote]The day Duncan moved to ICU, Pham said, she and the charge nurse went in with double gloves taped to double gowns and wore double booties and a face shield. The hospital did not have hazmat-type suits, and Pham said her neck was always exposed. [quote]“We’ve had nurses that I’ve worked with that worked in other states, and they worked in hazmat suits for flu and H1N1,” Pham said. “Why aren’t we wearing hazmat suits for Ebola?” And, they allegedly refused to protect her confidentiality in service of their PR needs. [quote]She says that Texas Health Resources violated her privacy while she was a patient at Presbyterian by ignoring her request that “no information” be released about her. She said a doctor recorded her on video in her hospital room and released it to the public without her permission. [quote]Before Pham’s flight to Maryland on Oct. 16, she said, a doctor wearing a video camera under his protective hood came into her room and said he was filming her for educational purposes. Pham said she did not give permission for the video, which was released to the media. “Thanks for getting well. Thanks for being part of the volunteer team to take care of our first patient,” a man’s voice said in the video. “It means a lot. This has been a huge effort by all of you guys.”

I felt ashamed for Madonna at the Grammy awards
Let%20It%20Go
The superstar has spoken about how she dabbled with drugs and would let her kids try them Madonna has admitted she would let her children try drugs “in moderation”. She confessed that she dabbled with various substances in her younger days but insisted she had not enjoyed the experiences. During the revealing interview for ITV, show host Jonathan Ross said: “Let me ask you about a set of lyrics – in Devil Pray you talk about drugs... ‘we can get high, we can get stoned, we can do Es, we can do acid’. “It’s a comprehensive list. You have tried, I’d have thought, many of them.” Madonna, 56, nodded but said: “I am not a big fan of drugs. They just don’t suit me. “The handful of times I have tried drugs, many many many many years ago, I just didn’t enjoy it. I wanted it out of me. I started guzzling bottles of water thinking that was going to end it.” Jonathan then asked: “How do you talk to your children about that? Because every parent has to have the conversation in some shape or form.” Referring to her 18-year-old girl Lourdes, Madonna said: “I just ask my daughter to make wise decisions and to do things in moderation and to try not to mix her alcohol. “I am not going to say ‘no, don’t do it’ because that is just absurd. And it is not fair. Yeah, I did it.” Jonathan said: “Most young people I know are not into the dangerous drugs, they seem to like marijuana.” Madonna replied: “Yeah, it’s legal.” But Jonathan advised the US star that it is not legal in Britain. The Queen of Pop also talked about her love life, saying she was single and “the right man would not be intimidated by me”. She even spoke with fondness about past partners including British film director Guy Ritchie, 46, her husband for eight years until 2008. And she said it was only bad timing that stopped her from having a longer relationship with actor Warren Beatty, who is 21 years her senior. Madonna said: “There’s a perfect example of timing, because he was ready and I wasn’t quite ready.” She also spoke with great pride about her four children – Lourdes, 14-year-old Rocco, and their younger siblings David and Mercy. Madonna, who hit the headlines this week after falling off stage when she performed at the Brits, said “all of my children are talented”.

Interesting article on Ken Levine's blog about what an asshole Cosby was to work for, but the really interesting tidbits are in the comments section. It's worth a read. One of the comments: i worked for The Tonight Show during Johnny Carson's reign and when Bill Cosby was a regular Monday Guest host filling in for Johnny. One particular Monday when Cosby was guest hosting and I wasn't more than 19 years old, I had the ONLY bad experience in my 9 years working on the show. Cosby, Mr. Playboy Jazz Festival showed up early to listen to the Tonight Show Orchestra rehearse in the late afternoon. As Im standing by Doc Severinsen's podium, I kiddingly said to Mr Cosby: Good luck to your Sixers, but i think the Lakers are going to take this one. HE WENT APESHIT ON ME. Here I am a little girl in essence (only girl crew person in my career infancy) and he got right in my face screaming profanities at me pushing his chest out assaulting me while yelling at me! (over a basketball game? Come on!) It got so bad, violent, perverted, mean and frightening my guys from the crew and band members jumped to my defense saying to him is your career worth this, for gods sake she's a little girl! He was so in my face I truly feared he was going to hit me. Eventually the security took him from the studio until time for his monologue. Ive known for 30 years that Bill Cosby is a bully, crazy, untalented, pushy, racist, mean and and egocentric asshole! Ill spit on his grave when he dies and that couldn't happen soon enough!
During yoga lessons, he said, participants unknowingly repeat mantras "in Hindu." “You don’t know what the Hindu says, but actually it’s a prayer to a Hindu deity and so it sounds like gibberish," Robertson argued. "So you’re saying ‘kali, kali, kali,’ but you’re praying to a Hindu deity." Video:

Two enormous threads on the DL about her, never thought of her that way, yet, when I was an 8 year old wee baby gay and saw her in "Grease 2" and became obsessed with her and was so happy a few years later when she became a big star.
The "blind date" season. Could be interesting..
I'm going out on a limb here. He can be good looking at times like in Superman but overall, I find him very fugly. It's the face.
I swear I just noticed my warm brown eyes now have slate blue rings around them.\ \ I''m firmly in middle age and I used to wear contacts (started with the hard ones in 1969) so I am used to looking closely at my eyes over the years.\ \ Anyone else experience subtle eye color changes as you''ve aged?
I'll give you everything I have in my hand.
You take your limo to the studio for hair + makeup and waddle out to your seat. There's several of them to carry the show. It's an hour of work and you get paid a lot of money. Why would The View be "stressful"?
Not surprising. She's great. She's friends with Jessica and worked with Kathy twice. She was amazing in "Stardust". He wants Reese Witherspoon too, but I'm not getting that one. I trust him -- for the most part. I love Kathy and Angela this season!

Shades of Snowpiercer. I know global warming gets all the attention, but global cooling would be far worse. We are living in an interglacial era. Every time the world gets closer to our current peak, it quickly plunges into another ice age. These interglacial periods appear to have some correlation with sunspot activity. The latest news on sunspot activity is similar to other cold spells. Although sunspot data only goes back a few hundred years, the "mini-ice age" from 1250-1850 leads to this detail- [quote]…if history is a guide, it is safe to say that weak solar activity for a prolonged period of time can have a negative impact on global temperatures in the troposphere which is the bottom-most layer of Earth’s atmosphere - and where we all live. There have been two notable historical periods with decades-long episodes of low solar activity. The first period is known as the “Maunder Minimum”, named after the solar astronomer Edward Maunder, and it lasted from around 1645 to 1715. The second one is referred to as the “Dalton Minimum”, named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, and it lasted from about 1790 to 1830. Both of these historical periods coincided with below-normal global temperatures in an era now referred to by many as the “Little Ice Age”. In addition, research studies in just the past couple of decades have found a complicated relationship between solar activity, cosmic rays, and clouds on Earth. This research suggests that in times of low solar activity where solar winds are typically weak; more cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere which, in turn, has been found to lead to an increase in certain types of clouds that can act to cool the Earth. Here is the link that got me thinking. Notice how the planet is at the peak temperature. Hundreds of thousands of years of data, all showing that we are on the cusp of a new ice age.
First Oklahoma City took our beloved basketball team, the Seattle Sonics. Just this week, it's our Woodland Park Zoo's last two elephants, Chai and Bamboo being taken to new homes in a fancy park in, again, freezing cold Oklahoma City. Some of are old enough to remember when these two were born, half a century ago! And now .. the Space Needle. They're going to disassemble it and move it to, you guessed it, Oklahoma City. Evidently it's some kind of flat-Earth thing, with a light on top which they believe will be seen everywhere in the state except the panhandle. Can you believe it? Don't let your city be taken away like this.

Once education, marital status and occupations are considered, the 'gender wage gap' all but disappears. April 8 is "Equal Pay Day," an annual event to raise awareness regarding the so-called gender wage gap. As President Obama said in the State of the Union address, women "still make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns," a claim echoed by the National Committee on Pay Equity, the American Association of University Women and other progressive groups. The 23% gap implies that women work an extra 68 days to earn the same pay as a man. Mr. Obama advocates allowing women to sue for wage discrimination, with employers bearing the burden of proving they did not discriminate. But the numbers bandied about to make the claim of widespread discrimination are fundamentally misleading and economically illogical. In its annual report, "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2012," the Bureau of Labor Statistics states that "In 2012, women who were full-time wage and salary workers had median usual weekly earnings of $691. On average in 2012, women made about 81% of the median earnings of male full-time wage and salary workers ($854)." Give or take a few percentage points, the BLS appears to support the president's claim. But every "full-time" worker, as the BLS notes, is not the same: Men were almost twice as likely as women to work more than 40 hours a week, and women almost twice as likely to work only 35 to 39 hours per week. Once that is taken into consideration, the pay gap begins to shrink. Women who worked a 40-hour week earned 88% of male earnings. Then there is the issue of marriage and children. The BLS reports that single women who have never married earned 96% of men's earnings in 2012. The supposed pay gap appears when marriage and children enter the picture. Child care takes mothers out of the labor market, so when they return they have less work experience than similarly-aged males. Many working mothers seek jobs that provide greater flexibility, such as telecommuting or flexible hours. Not all jobs can be flexible, and all other things being equal, those which are will pay less than those that do not. Education also matters. Even within groups with the same educational attainment, women often choose fields of study, such as sociology, liberal arts or psychology, that pay less in the labor market. Men are more likely to major in finance, accounting or engineering. And as the American Association of University Women reports, men are four times more likely to bargain over salaries once they enter the job market. Risk is another factor. Nearly all the most dangerous occupations, such as loggers or iron workers, are majority male and 92% of work-related deaths in 2012 were to men. Dangerous jobs tend to pay higher salaries to attract workers. Also: Males are more likely to pursue occupations where compensation is risky from year to year, such as law and finance. Research shows that average pay in such jobs is higher to compensate for that risk. While the BLS reports that full-time female workers earned 81% of full-time males, that is very different than saying that women earned 81% of what men earned for doing the same jobs, while working the same hours, with the same level of risk, with the same educational background and the same years of continuous, uninterrupted work experience, and assuming no gender differences in family roles like child care. In a more comprehensive study that controlled for most of these relevant variables simultaneously—such as that from economists June and Dave O'Neill for the American Enterprise Institute in 2012—nearly all of the 23% raw gender pay gap cited by Mr. Obama can be attributed to factors other than discrimination. The O'Neills conclude that, "labor market discrimination is unlikely to account for more than 5% but may not be present at all." These gender-disparity claims are also economically illogical. If women were paid 77 cents on the dollar, a profit-oriented firm could dramatically cut labor costs by replacing male employees with females. Progressives assume that businesses nickel-and-dime suppliers, customers, consultants, anyone with whom they come into contact—yet ignore a great opportunity to reduce wages costs by 23%. They don't ignore the opportunity because it doesn't exist. Women are not in fact paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men. Administration officials are (very) occasionally challenged on their discrimination claims. The reply is that even if lower average female pay is a result of women's choices, those choices are themselves driven by discrimination. Yet the choice of college major is quite free, and many colleges recruit women into high-paying science or math majors. Likewise, many women prefer to stay home with their children. If doing so allows their husbands to maximize their own earnings, it's not clear that the families are worse off. It makes no sense to sue employers for choices made by women years or decades earlier. The administration's claims regarding the gender pay gap are faulty, and its proposal to make it easier for women to sue employers for equal pay would create a disincentive for firms to hire women. Mr. Perry is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and professor of economics and finance at the University of Michigan's Flint campus. Mr. Biggs is a resident scholar at AEI.

A social and economic system that respects the right of each human being to be free to guide his own life as he chooses, that requires of men respectful and courteous conduct toward their fellow human beings, and which fosters a modesty of belief against any presumption against paternalism is surely the most ethical system of social cooperation ever stumbled upon my mankind.

Suppose the United States decides to retire all the debt held offshore. It amounted to $6,112,000,000,000 at the end of last year. We just print the money and send it to wherever the interest checks are presently going. We can do this. I hold that the effect will be far less severe in the United States than in other countries. Reason being, the subsequent precipitous decline in the Dollar will wipe out foreign rich people who have their loot in $$$$'s. What else will happen, guru's? I think there will be little or no inflation here because the government can just continue to report there isn't any.

The King of England (who abdicated) was a traitor. Finally it is being told in England..with some proof. Now what will the Windsors say now? Isn't he buried at Westminster?
Edward the Nazi King....finally, British press covering this.
I haven't seen this queen in 5 years, but I still hear from my friends that he's talking about me (including today). I've never done anything to him...and actually was "friends" with him for a few years (without a clue he was like this). Up until now, I've never bothered to think much about it or do anything - but now some of the comments are getting disgusting. When my brother died, he said "too bad it wasn't him"...and "why is he even alive anyway - who has use for that?" I'm far from the only person who hates this queen, but at 34 years old (yes - not 14...34) - he can't find something better to do?? I want to pull the horse teeth out of her big flapping mouth with pliers at the moment. We don't live in the same city anymore...but we have dozens of mutual friends/acquaintances. Just curious what you think - since you're all anon cunts on here... in real life, it gets far more on my nerves.
Which one of you hoes is jealous?
What do you think?
I counted them today. I really don't have neighbors (foreclosed homes or sketchy rentals)so that's not a problem. I put out about six bowls of cheap dry food mixed with a couple cans of Nine Lives, twice a day. I realized it costs about $100 a month, and I'm not well-off. I feel so bad for them. They just hang around all day waiting for the next meal. I also put water out for them. Why do I do this?

It's the 20th anniversary of EROTICA, and that for me was exactly when I realized she was just ridiculous and a famewhore. I've liked some of the things she's done since then (particularly "Ray of Light," one of her all-time best songs), but I've just not respected her generally for twenty years.
Wow! The man looks good for 63. (Although the whole being an idiot thing sort of detracts from the package.)
It looks like the old thread was deleted. Maybe it was the comments made about the building in Saudi Arabia. I want to compliment the person who chose Lake Point Tower in Chicago and the attractive photograph.
So is he taking a leave of absence too?
Recently watched an interview she gave to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Wonderful woman, and she's not afraid to look her age. (She looks good). But I get the sense that she's not interested in acting anymore. She's not fond of most current television. She would rather advocate for mental health. But there has to be one real good role out there for her, preferably in a motion picture. Something to give her a second Oscar.
These pics are from in South Africa when he was filming Invictus. Despite being several years old, let us nonetheless appreciate the glory thast is the Damon Butt.

There has been a avalanche of rumours about the team this year, but is the self-inflicted death of an assistant equipment manager is part of the puzzle?
There's this guy - gay, in NYC, great body, good job (all of which he's publicly disclosed ), I'd guess in his thirties - who posts endless endless endless pictures of himself on Instagram... usually shirtless, majority in his elevator on the way to work out. He's obviously in a relationship and quite sweet on the guy. I know it's easy to just write off as narcissism - maybe it is - but I am mystified by it. Why does this guy, who has a great life on spec, post endless selfies? Why do you do it, if you do? Is it vanity? Insecurity? Cluelessness? I would have though beyond thirty you'd be moving away from 'look at me! look at me!' I'm 40... so I'm well past the social media generation. But I don't get it and I am curious for some theories.
So many great performances. A great look. Smart and sexy. What happened? Is it all over now for her?
Or did she just marry him for his Pepsi? And why was she always scrambling for work in her widowhood if he left her so much Pepsi stock?
What if the person on the opposite side wanted to castrate you? What if they had STDs? What sorts of people do this?

I found a check I got for doing some work from a company; it's dated about six months ago, but it says void after 90 days. should I send it back and ask them to draw another one? or should I try to deposit it and hope it clears? it's under 200 bucks.

ROSIE O’DONNELL wrecked her marriage when she “went nuts” in a Thanksgiving Day tantrum fueled by booze and drugs! In a blockbuster world exclusive, The National ENQUIRER can reveal the untold story of Rosie’s relationship-ending meltdown, which left terrified wife Michelle Rounds locked in a bathroom and fearing for the safety of both herself and their 2-year-old daughter. Multiple sources have confirmed the shocking incident took place last November at Rosie’s home on Casey Key – north of Sarasota, Fla. – with raging Rosie throwing a holiday tantrum in front of Michelle’s visiting relatives! The dinner disaster began when the former television host announced to several guests that she was planning to divorce Michelle. “Everyone was pretty much floored, after having been invited to Florida for the holiday,” said one insider. “At the meal, Rosie just remained stone silent. It was uncomfortable for everyone.” Finally, Michelle dared to confront Rosie about her talk of ending their marriage. A source said: “Rosie went into a rage. Her screaming was loud enough for everyone to hear.” That’s when Michelle locked herself in the bathroom, as her rampaging wife repeatedly screamed at her: “Where’s the Xanax, b---h?” Said one source: “Michelle knew the marriage was over right then and there. She loved Rosie, but she could no longer live this way. Michelle was scared stiff and spent the night sleeping on a towel, locked in the bathroom!” Meanwhile, Michelle’s embarrassed family was “mortified” by Rosie’s behavior. “She turned the place into a house of horrors!” said an insider. Rosie wasn’t finished ruining the holiday, though – she ended up crashing into one of the family members’ cars! “Rosie had been taking her usual meds and drinking wine all night. She decided she was going to spend the night in a hotel, but left while clearly in a drunken stupor,” said another insider. “Rosie eventually came back to the house, but – either on her way to the hotel, or when she returned – she hit one of the cars belonging to Michelle’s family.” The family then witnessed the same kind of savage mood swing that had characterized the comic’s second stint hosting “The View.” “In a bizarre ending, Rosie acted as if nothing had happened,” explained one insider. “She just mentioned that the whole group would be going on a boating expedition the next day, and instructed someone to make sandwiches for the trip. “Rosie said, ‘Make mine roast beef, but hold the mustard!’ That’s the last thing Michelle’s family heard from her.” They weren’t interested in hearing anything more. “In the morning, the family headed to the airport as fast as they could,” said a source.
The damn thing was getting out and climbing all over my car, leaving paw prints, and shitting in my flower beds. So I called animal control and they brought me a trap, I trapped it, called them back, and they came out to pick it up. Neighbor came home just in time to see the animal control van driving away. Now, I had never mentioned that I was going to call animal control or trap the cat, but I had told her about the cat prints and cat shit and asked her to keep her animal off my property. She offered some lame excuse and went on her sweet way. But yesterday, she sees the animal control van and starts running down the street after it. Then she starts back toward the house, screaming at me "You'll pay for this!" as she runs in and slams the door. Not 15 minutes later, she sends her sniveling little crotch dropping over to tearfully ask me why I took his cat away. I told him to go home. This morning, I hear a big ruckus next door, car doors slamming, etc. So I peek out the curtain to see her and her son getting out of the car with the cat, making a big show of having gone and gotten it out of kitty jail, so I'd come out and see. I simply opened the door and waved at them, making sure they saw that I saw. I'm sure I've started WWIII with these people now. Goddamn, they are tedious.

I understand he became truly insufferable once Star Trek re-runs went into syndication and he became perceived internationally as a larger-than-life figure--he completely bought into his own hype then. But what was he like before then? I know he was a big player during his years shooting Star Trek and was fucking every single beautiful female guest star. Was he more normal despite being an enormous pussyhound? And what was he like before Star Trek?

I was arrested last week for having my prescription pills in a keychain fob. You know, those things they sell at CVS right by the pharmacy prescription counter? The cop asked for my prescription, and I actually had the bottle with the prescription label on it in a bag. But he arrested me anyway. Apparently it's still a crime. WTF?! I ended up missing a day of work, and when they found out it was because I was being charged with possession, they let me go without any conversation. My lawyer says it will likely be dismissed since I have prescriptions, but the damage is done. My plan today is to get stoned! I haven't smoked weed in years, but hey, if I'm going to get fired for doing drugs, I might as well make it worth it.

De Blasio joins LGBT St Patrick's Day marchers in braving New York City snow - Mayor tells St Pat’s for All in Queens: ‘That is what pride is all about’ - Main city march wants to allow one gay group under banner this year Associated Press in New York, Sunday 1 March 2015 16.45 EST New York City mayor Bill de Blasio marched in the snow on Sunday, with hundreds of participants at a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-friendly St Patrick’s Day parade. He told the gathering a society for all is a society that embraces everyone. The parade, in Queens, is called St Pat’s for All. It’s an alternative to the city’s centuries-old St Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan, which for years has excluded gay groups. Last year de Blasio skipped the Manhattan parade because it wasn’t inclusive. Organisers said last year they would welcome one gay contingent under its own banner this year, prompting further protests. Under yet more snowfall in what has been a brutal winter, De Blasio called this year’s St Pat’s for All crowd a hardy troupe, and said: “That is what pride is all about – pride in the fact that in New York City, you can be whoever you are.”

Repost of the original video that started it all.\ \ This is the place to post your daily trouser tenting stories - Co-workers, boss, delivery guys, random strangers on the street.\ \ I will get things started with the little vid I captured on the NYC subway. Unfortunately, there is no visible trouser tenting and I only captured the last couple of minutes of this Exhib''s show on video.\ \ But let me tell you, by the time I got to work, I was tenting myself.

A new tell-all -- sounds dishy. [quote]The fashion world worships McQueen, and may think it blasphemous to sensationalize his life and death in print. But nothing is too sacred for Thomas, who pores over his bad hygiene (the ladies of British Vogue were repulsed by his “Stonehenge” teeth) and reckless drug use (five different dealers; 600 pounds a night on cocaine in the early 2000s). We learn even more about his sexual proclivities. When a promising talent—Sarah Burton, who is now herself creative director of McQueen’s label—was vying to work for McQueen in the late ‘90s, McQueen’s longtime friend and fellow designer, Simon Ungless, warned her that the job might involve “washing up a shitty dildo.”

I just learned that 50s/60s sitcom star Bea Benederet of Burns & Allen/Petticoat Junction fame (and btw, Lucy's first choice for the Ethel Mertz role), is the mother of actor Jack Bannon (pictured; "Lou Grant", among many shows), who played Scott Easton, the character who stole Val's babies on Knots Landing. This is fascinating. Any others I should be aware of?
Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov shot dead in Moscow Former deputy prime minister and critic of Vladimir Putin who was due to take part in march on Sunday was reportedly killed near the Kremlin Shaun Walker in Moscow, Friday 27 February 2015 22.22 GMT Prominent Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov has been shot dead in Moscow, according to reports. Nemtsov, a former Kremlin insider and a sharp critic of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, was reportedly shot four times in the chest by a killer who escaped in a white car. The killing took place late on Friday evening in the centre of Moscow, near St Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin. Nemtsov, 55, was deputy prime minister during the 1990s in the government of Boris Yeltsin. He had written a number of reports in recent years linking Putin and his inner circle to corruption. News agency Interfax confirmed Nemtsov’s death, while fellow opposition politician Ilya Yashin and the editor-in-chief of liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy also confirmed the news. Just hours before his death, Nemtsov had appeared on Ekho Moskvy calling on Muscovites to attend an opposition march planned for Sunday. The march against Putin’s government and the war in Ukraine was due to take place in a suburb of Moscow. One of the other organisers of the march, Alexei Navalny, was jailed for 15 days ahead of the march. In recent years, the Kremlin has used petty harassment and court cases against opposition figures, but there has not been an assassination of a political figure in Moscow for a decade. Russian news agencies reported that senior police officers were on the scene of the murder and a manhunt was under way for the killer.

From an evolutionary perspective, why did nature provide them with such equipment? Was it to ensure impregnation? Why would humans need cocks this big? Did these freaks of nature not evolve and are holding a genetic strain from our original ancestors?

Is it true that there is an Italian size 50 and a Euro size 50?
Since there are so many comic book gays on here. Who is your favorite. Since there are so many, and didn't want to leave anyone out, I didn't do a poll.
I am just gobsmacked when he's described as being good-looking. It's not that Republican assholes can't be physically attractive. If we can divorce him from his personality (hard to do), Aaron Schock is very hot. I even see how people can find Paul Ryan hot (though I do not). But Ted Cruz is NOT hot. He looks like the bastard lovechild of Joe McCarthy and LBJ.

Madonna on age jokes: No-one would dare say that about being gay 27th February 2015, 12:37 PM, Nick Duffy Madonna has attacked jibes about her age – claiming people wouldn’t dare make “degrading remarks” about sexuality. The singer took a tumble at the BRIT Awards on Wednesday, when a dance routine went awry during a live performance. The internet quickly filled with jokes about the 56-year-old following the mishap – when a backing dancer pulled her over by her cape. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Madonna attacked the hurtful jibes about her age – comparing it to homophobia and racism. She said: “It’s still the one area where you can totally discriminate against somebody, and talk s**t. Because of their age. Only females, though. Not males. No one would dare to say a degrading remark about being black or dare to say a degrading remark on Instagram about someone being gay.” “But my age – anybody and everybody would say something degrading to me. And I always think to myself, why is that accepted? “What’s the difference between that and racism, or any discrimination? They’re judging me by my age. I don’t understand. “I’m trying to get my head around it. Because women, generally, when they reach a certain age, have accepted that they’re not allowed to behave a certain way. “But I don’t follow the rules. I never did, and I’m not going to start.” Earlier this month, the singer joined hook-up app Grindr to chat to her gay fans.
Bellagio in Vegas is supposedly the top-rated hotel/casino for customer service. What would you do if the following happened to you? Attending an event at Bellagio hotel/casino, I needed to use the Women's Restroom. In the middle of using the toilet, I saw a huge flood of DARK BROWN FECES flooding my stall from the one next to it. My brand new Satin high heels and large cloth bag were immediately covered in the filthy poop. I finished as quickly as possible and went to the bathroom sink. The smell was horrific. I told the housekeeper what had happened. She yelled at me in front of the other patrons that I should have inspected the stall before using it. She didn't care that the flood of shit happened after I was using the toilet. She ignored my request for help in cleaning my shoes and cloth bag. I had to stand in my stocking feet on the restroom floor, and clean someone else's feces off of my things. I had no choice but to wear the shoes out of the restroom, and carry the cloth bag. I then called for a shift manager. After a long wait, he finally showed up. His response? He didn't see the incident so there was nothing that he could do to help me. I would be happy to take a lie detector test to prove that what I'm saying is 100% true and accurate.
It's a link to an Israeli newspaper reporting claims that Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli fighter jets. The jets were going to be used in a bombing raid in Iran. It is apparently one of the reasons for strained relations between Bibi and Obama. If this is true, then I will actually applaud Obama for doing the right thing in this case!
Sort of a take-off on the shockingly well-hung thread. Have there been any guys you sensed were well-hung but who actually turned out to be princess tiny meat?\ \ \ Mine: black bodybuilder dude I''d become friendly with on the gym floor. We would work out together and I was never sure if he was gay or straight. I fantasized about him like crazy. He was incredibly handsome with an amazing body. He had enormous hands with sausage-like fingers and large feet. I thought for sure he was massively hung. it couldn''t be otherwise, I thought. One day I saw him changing in the locker room, and I dared to peak. I was expecting something gargantuan, but I was surprised to see that he was pretty small in comparison to the rest of him. Couldn''t have been more than 2 inches flaccid.
What a beauty.

We really need another reason to kiss Lorne Michaels already overrated ass? The pope gets less deference than him. I just don't get his alleged "genius". He's supervised the running of the show, but has never written, produced or directed any of the actual skits. He acts in sketches playing himself. And for his alleged great taste in talent, he still couldn't even grasp the concept that women and minorities could be just as funny as straight white men up until about ten years ago. It's funny how most alumni have bitched and moaned about how horrible and stressful an atmosphere it was, but make sure to kiss Lorne's ass at every opportunity. Well, if he was so great, than why did your time on the show suck so much? This is why I respect Jane Curtin and Norm MacDonald, for not drinking the Kool Aid.
Daily Mail.com [italic]Radio 1 has banned Madonna for being 'irrelevant and old' for its listeners The 56-year-old singer has been dropped from the station's playlist The singer's latest single has been available since December 20 last year It has only been played on the station ONCE since its release[/italic] She has dominated the airwaves during 30 years as a chart-topper, but now Radio 1 has decided that Madonna is an immaterial girl and just too old for its teenage listeners. Despite her determined efforts to look – and sound – youthful, the 56-year-old has been dropped from the station’s playlist that determines which songs are played by DJs during the day. Madonna’s latest song is Living For Love and has been available for airplay since December 20 last year. Yet it has been played on Radio 1 just once – on January 9 when DJ Annie Mac played it on her evening show. But that was after 7pm, when songs not on the playlist can be broadcast. The track is the first single from the mother of four’s new album, Rebel Heart. The station last night said the single had been omitted from playlists on the basis of ‘audience relevance’ and ‘musical merit’. A Radio 1 insider said: ‘At the end of the day it’s all about relevance. It’s natural that as an artist gets older their audience goes elsewhere and Radio 1 has to reflect that. ‘The station has a duty to meet the needs of younger listeners. I don’t think the audience is losing sleep that it is not playing Madonna in the same way that it used to.’ The snub represents a remarkable fall from grace for the star who notched up 13 UK No 1s between 1985 and 2008. She finds herself alongside Sir Cliff Richard, Take That, Kate Bush and Robbie Williams on a long list of artists who struggle to get new material played on the station. Madonna’s single is being played on Radio 2, which caters for an audience aged over 35. By contrast, Sir Paul McCartney’s new single will be played by Radio 1 even though the former Beatle is 72. This is because the track is a collaboration with rapper Kanye West, 37, and pop mega-star Rihanna, 26. A Radio 1 spokesman said: ‘Tracks are chosen on musical merit, and while around 40 per cent of the country’s 15 to 29-year-olds tune into Radio 1 each week, an artist’s age is never a factor.’ Madonna’s spokesman declined to comment.

And they really, truly believe this shit. In a speech to the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville this week, former reality show host David Benham told a rapt crowd of how he reached out and saved a gay man by using “love” and tickets to a Cubs game, reports The Blaze. Benham, along with his identical twin brother Jason, had their HGTV reality show, Flip It Forward, cancelled last year after their anti-gay views came to light. After their show was dropped, the two sons of evangelist and Operation Rescue founder Flip Benham compared the cancellation to the invasion of Normandy, saying, “We know what happened at D-Day. We know what happened on Omaha and Utah beach. There’s something about those men that our dad taught us when we were kids, and he said, ‘Boys, don’t you ever run from bullets. You run toward the bullets.’” Since that time, the brothers have become high profile guests at religious gatherings, speaking out against marriage equality and the decline of morals in the U.S. At the NRB convention, David Benham explained to the audience that they continually hear from a hostile gay community but respond with kindness. Benham related the tale of how he responded to one unidentified gay man who vociferously opposed their anti-gay crusade. “We had so many people from the gay community reaching out to us and one man in particular from the city of Chicago reached out — and he said things to me that made me lose my appetite,” David Benham told the crowd. “But I simply responded in love.” [bold]“After a little conversation back and forth, I found out he loved baseball … and I got him tickets to a Cubs game,” Benham continued. “He shot me a Facebook post and said, ‘I was not expecting that — and I’ve been thinking a lot about this. I’ve chosen to walk away from my lifestyle.’”[/bold] According to The Blaze, the crowd responded warmly to the story, with Benham adding, “What God needs most is a simple voice for truth.”

Rudy Giuliani wants a little love, but most likely just some attention, from the president of the United States of America. The former New York City mayor reportedly said Wednesday night at a fundraiser for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) that Barack Obama "doesn't love" America. “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani reportedly said during a private dinner in New York. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.” His remarks, recorded by Politico, were also heard by "60 right-leaning business executives and conservative media types" gathered to fete the potential 2016 presidential candidate. Giuliani added that, “with all our flaws we’re the most exceptional country in the world. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that and carry it out.” “And if it’s you Scott, I’ll endorse you,” he said. “And if it’s somebody else, I’ll support somebody else.” A spokesperson for the Wisconsin governor did not immediately return a request for comment. The former mayor doubled down on his remarks in an interview with "Fox & Friends" Thursday morning. “Well first of all, I’m not questioning his patriotism. He’s a patriot, I’m sure,” he said. “What I’m saying is, in his rhetoric, I very rarely hear the things that I used to hear Ronald Reagan say, the things that I used to hear Bill Clinton say about how much he loves America.” What set Giuliani off, apparently, was Obama's refusal to associate violent extremism and groups like the Islamic State, also referred to as ISIS or ISIL, with Islam. The president addressed the criticism Wednesday night by explaining he doesn't use the phrase "radical Islam" because the term grants terrorists a religious legitimacy they don't deserve. But that wasn't enough for the outspoken mayor.

I've been seeing a guy for nine months now and suspect he may be sleeping with other guys. In some ways he's a wonderful boyfriend. He's out and very demonstrative in public. My friends have all met him but he has not introduced me to any of his friends. We go out about two or three times a week but sometimes he inexplicably cancels on me last minute. He only wants to have sex about once a week which seems deranged we used to go at it daily. There are times when I can't reach him for a day or two he doesn't even respond to texts. I outright told him that we could mess around with other people in the beginning as long as we were open about it. My ex and I had an open relationship so I don't mind. What really pisses me off is the thought that he's fucking around while I'm being faithful and not getting any! I've missed out on a lot of hot cock because of him. Should I just start fucking around?

Does anyone find is hilarious how he was caught? Leave it to some dumb, middle aged white guy not knowing how technology works.\ \ For those who don''t know, BTK was a serial killer in America. His initials stood for Bound, Tie, and Kill. His case was notorious and went cold for decades. Suddenly, he popped up again with a letter to a newspaper. Somehow he agreed to putting some of his writings on a floppy disc, and sending it to a journalist. The dumb fuck didn''t know that you could trace a floppy in two seconds. The floppy showed his name, and that the info had been downloaded from a church computer. This was about five years ago. \ \ I think they''re going to catch old serial killers via Facebook soon.
Says he swam for 16 hrs. after falling off boat.

30 year old Kate, who has never held down a real job, now wants the 'quiet life'. You're gonna be Queen one day, bitch, so you better get your ass in gear. She's no Diana, that's for sure. While Kate was on one of her first major charity engagements and Prince William had had a sleepless night after working a long shift as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot, the appearance of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at a children’s cancer ward on Thursday looked anything but strained. But behind the obvious success of such a visit lies a real dilemma for the Royal Family. As all their advisers are acutely aware, Britain’s new golden couple are currently walking a tightrope between trying to maintain the privacy and normality of their daily lives while having become dazzling uber-celebrities. William has told the Queen that he is desperate not to be considered as a senior Royal quite yet; that he wants to keep up his real-world job as a search-and-rescue pilot, with all the flexibility that necessitates. For the moment, the RAF, rather than his Royal future, is the focus. In a rare interview with the Mail’s Robert Hardman last week, the 29-year-old Flight Lieutenant seemed happy not to consider any new Royal role for the moment. As I’m flying in my helicopter through the mountains of Wales,’ he said, ‘I try desperately hard not to think about it. That can wait until I’m a bit older.’ He is seeking to be promoted to Captain, but is also unable, and unwilling, to forgo all his Royal duties and the accompanying media fanfare. Anyway, it is too late for that. For Kate’s part, although she has no other job to juggle with her Royal duties, she feels the split just as keenly. But most of the time, for now, she can play at not being royal. She can be a military housewife in windy Anglesey, waiting for William to return from RAF missions; she can be her old shopping self in West London, mooching around Topshop in Kensington High Street and going to her favourite hairdresser, Richard Ward, in Sloane Square. At weekends, she can go to Sloaney weddings with her sister Pippa. But at some point, she will be expected to do more. This weekend, it was reported that Kate, a History of Art graduate, is to become a patron of the arts in the not-too-distant future. Last week, she was given a private tour of the National Gallery by curators, where she would have been able to swot up on her knowledge of Britain’s artistic heritage. In coming months, she’s expected to attend meetings with directors and curators at museums and galleries across the country.

Zachary Quinto Won’t Return For ‘Heroes Reborn’ January 26, 2015 | 02:01PM PT, Marianne Zumberge Sad news for Sylar fans: Zachary Quinto will not appear on NBC’s “Heroes Reborn.” According to Buzzfeed, Quinto won’t be reprising his role as the serial-killing superhuman on the upcoming 13-episode miniseries, which will pick up after the conclusion of NBC’s “Heroes,” which ran 2006-10. “I’m not going to go back,” Quinto told Buzzfeed. “It was such a meaningful experience for me… I just felt like I didn’t want to go back to it… It’s a great thing to be a part of. I just felt like I need to cultivate other outlets for myself.” Quinto is not the only “Heroes” alum who was approached for the miniseries reboot. Jack Coleman will appear on “Heroes Reborn,” reprising his role as Noah Bennet (aka HRG, depending on how big a fan you are). Tim Kring, creator of “Heroes,” is also on board for “Reborn.” Zachary Levi is set to star in the miniseries, which will bow this summer.
I'm guessing the answer is no! I think she actually started to believe that whole silly "greatest living actress" nonsense herself. Her mannered performances, self-gratifying awards acceptance speeches and that constant smirk on her face are becoming really painful to watch! And I think even her biggest fans can admit that some of her shenanigans (like that Walt Disney/Emma Thompson thing) were really embarassing. Can you imagine someone ripping Margaret Thatcher to shreds before giving her an award for The Iron Lady? Nope, but she can get away with something like this because she's Meryl fucking Streep. I just hope she'd go away, for a couple of years at least, so we can get some rest from her.
Are they sexier than abs? For some reason I find them so hot - what is it about them? It's weird. Has this part been sexualized before?
Somebody make this fucktard go away already!!!! Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson told a CPAC crowd on Thursday that the U.S.A. should be run by Christians, and not any others — adding omniously that “we got too many ‘any others’ in the White House.” Robertson marked his receiving the Defender of the First Amendment award with a long speech that covered everything from George Washington to genital herpes. After a fawning twenty-minute introduction from the heads of Breitbart and Citizens United — who jointly presented the award for Robertson’s firm stance after his controversial comments on gay marriage nearly got his show canceled — Robertson delivered a rambling 40-minute address that nearly derailed CPAC’s tightly scheduled political pageantry. In his speech, Robertson used George Washington and James Madison to argue that CPAC attendees shouldn’t be drinking. He also marveled that 110 million Americans have sexually transmitted diseases, calling genital herpes the “revenge of the hippies!” and noting that neither the Nazis, Communists or Islamists had “any Jesus with them.” The Duck Commander, however, seemed to avoid discussion of homosexuality, the topic that originally brought him to political prominence.
Phil Robertson: There Are Too Many Non-Christians in the White House
Gay couple serving life sentences to marry in prison Convicted murderers Mikhail Gallatinov and Marc Goodwin are to get married at Full Sutton prison near York, but will not be able to share a cell Helen Pidd, northern editor, and Eric Allison, prisons correspondent; Friday 20 February 2015 17.28 GMT A gay couple detained in one of the UK’s toughest prisons are to marry after conducting an illicit relationship in the library. Both men are serving life sentences for murder in Full Sutton prison near York, which houses some of the most dangerous offenders in the country. Mikhail Gallatinov, a convicted paedophile, was jailed in 1997 for the murder of Adrian Kaminsky – who he had met through a gay chat line. He will soon marry Marc Goodwin, who in 2007 was sentenced to life behind bars for a homophobic killing on Blackpool seafront. He kicked and punched to death his victim, Malcolm Benfold, 57. The pair will wed in a ceremony inside the prison next month, the Mirror reported. It is believed to be the first same sex marriage or civil partnership to occur on the prison estate since the equal marriage act came into force last year. A source who visits Full Sutton regularly told the Guardian the relationship was well known inside the jail. “These two guys were on separate wings at Full Sutton and used to meet – and have sex – in the prison library. Then they managed to get on the same wing and had sex regularly,” she said. Since submitting their application for marriage, the men have been split up and housed on different wings, the source claimed. Full Sutton has a “Rainbow” group, where gay, bisexual and transgender prisoners can meet to discuss issues and problems. Heterosexual prisoners are also allowed to join the discussions, which are chaired by a prison officer. Though not official policy, health care staff distribute condoms to prisoners who ask for them, the source said. According to the Mirror, the couple gave their jobs as bar staff on the notice of marriage, which was posted at the register office in Beverley, East Yorkshire. The notice, which also describes Gallatinov as a chef, says the wedding will take place at “Sutton View, Moor Lane, Full Sutton” – neglecting to mention that it is a prison. A Ministry of Justice spokesman refused to comment on the marriage, saying: “We do not comment on individuals. “Prisoners are entitled to apply to be married in prison under the Marriages Act 1983. This would take place at no cost to the taxpayer and there is no possibility they would share a cell.” Under the terms of the Marriage Act 1983, all prisoners can exercise their right to marry under civil law in the place of their detention, and this right is reinforced by the Human Rights Act. When passed, the 1983 law was intended to allow heterosexual prisoners to marry their partners from the outside world. The logic was that prisoners should largely enjoy the same human rights as their free counterparts, and that building and retaining family ties can help with the rehabilitation process. But with the introduction of the Civil Partnerships Act 2004 and the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act coming into force last year, gay inmates are now legally allowed to marry each other inside jail, causing logistical issues for prison staff. There is no rule prohibiting sex or relationships between prisoners, but prison officers do not allow inmates to have sexual relationships, according to the Commission on Sex in Prison, carried out by the Howard League for Penal Reform. Frances Crook, the Howard League’s chief executive, supports marriage in prison, saying: “As a general principle, I think that prisoners should be allowed the same civil rights as people outside. They are in prison for public safety reasons, not to stop them asserting their civil rights.” But she said it would be fair for the couple in Full Sutton to be split up, so as not to give them a privilege heterosexual prisoners cannot enjoy. She wants to see prisons build private family rooms where prisoners can meet their families in private. “That’s what they do in Norway, and in long-term prisons in France there are little cottages where families can spend two or three days together,” said Crook. Access to such facilities should also be extended to inmates married to each other, she suggested. It is impossible to accurately assess the prevalence of same-sex relationships in prison, according Roger Ingham, professor of health and community psychology at the Centre for Sexual Health Research at the University of Southampton. He said he had never heard of a gay marriage or civil partnership between prisoners inside a jail, but predicted this would not be the last. “Given the increasing acceptance of same sex relationships in society at large, one would imagine that there are more of these relationships going on in prison too. The authorities will have to respond to these changes,” he said. The Guardian spoke to one man who was recently released after serving a long sentence at a high security jail. He said: “Paradoxically, given that legal and cultural progressions have almost rendered the ‘gay liberation front’ redundant in the UK, the situation in prisons for homosexual men is arguably more difficult now. “Though engaging in consensual sexual activity is no longer illegal, when prisoners do so other institutional sanctions and disciplinary actions are deployed to obstruct, punish and deter. The easiest pretext for the authorities is always to pretend that ‘security’ or ‘good order and discipline’ are threatened when two men are momentarily beyond the panoptic disciplinary gaze of authority – actually a legal necessity since legalisation enjoins that ‘acts’ be ‘in private’, a rare commodity indeed in prison.”
According to various reports, four gay NFL players will soon come out of the closet. But veteran free safety Kerry Rhodes wants to make it clear: he will not be one of them. Pictures of Rhodes surfaced this week on Media Take Out in which the player's arms are around a man in a tank top, but Rhodes tells TMZ the shots are harmless. "Photos have been circulating of my former assistant and I that have caused some rumors regarding my sexuality, and I wanted to address the situation," Rhodes says in a statement. "I am not gay." The free agent adds that the pics were snapped during a "casual" vacation with his "entire business team." Rhodes does say he agrees with Magic Johnson overall, however: he's all for those athletes who actually are homosexual: "I know a lot of people are recently talking about athletes struggling to come out to their fans right now, and I support them, as well as wish those individuals comfort."

One of the best shows on television?\ \ When Buffy was great, it was amazing (Becoming 1 and 2 will forever be some of my favorites episodes of tv ever) but it really started to fizzle in Season 4 when they began college. The college setting just didn''t work with the metaphor as well as high school, they lost some strong characters (Angel, Cordelia) to the spin off, and the characters they added just didn''t work for me. Plus, didn''t Joss leave around this time?\ \ And then there was Dawn. Less said of that the better.\ \ Hated seasons, 6 and 7, didn''t like Spuffy or the complete take over of the show by Spike, Buffy started to become a brittle, no fun bitch, Willow got hooked on magic (oy vey), and the nerds, and potentials were stupid. I don''t think the show ended on a high note, but in the end, the bulk of the show was still some of the most moving, ground breaking, original television ever created.\ \ Seasons 1-3 kick ass, the rest are spotty to meh.\ \ What do you think?

Charlie Hides Parodies Madonna's "Living for Love" with "Living for Gloves"
The Immaculate Heart of Mary School, which traditionally sends its marching band to the South Boston route, said on Friday it would withdraw following a decision by the Allied War Veteran's Council, the parade's organizers, to admit a group of gay and lesbian veterans called OutVets to participate. "We can't associate with that," Brother Thomas Dalton, principal of Immaculate Heart of Mary School, said in a phone interview. "It would appear we were condoning it."

Facially, that is. I see her now, and with the right lighting she can still pass as a woman in her 40s, circa "Ray of Light", thanks to her latest cheeks. Sometimes she even looks the way she did when she did "Evita". The cheeks give her a more fuller, youthful look (at times). So, what age do you think she''ll be when plastic surgery can''t even make her look young anymore? She looks like she could be hitting that moment only a few years from now. Somehow, Cher was able to keep up with it, even if she looked ridiculous. She already had a boney, weird angular face. Madonna never had that. She had a gigantic Italian face that deflated a decade ago, giving her the appearance of a mummy. She seems to be getting that bloated, menopausal look to her face, even with the facelift sutures trying to hold it back.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said Sunday he's disappointed by a court's recent decision to allow marriage equality in the state. "It ought be a local decision. I mean, a state decision," Bush told the Miami Herald. "The state decided. The people of the state decided. But it’s been overturned by the courts, I guess." Right on, Jeb. You're a friggin profile in courage.

What was your childhood and adolescence like?
Her last album "MDNA" bombed, selling only 1.8 million worldwide, the worst-selling album of her career. They gave the album away with tour tickets and perfume too. The album's three singles all flopped. The first single, a critical disaster, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" got to #10 on the charts thanks to Live Nation paying for airplay. It still only got to #10 even after the Super Bowl promotion, and giving the single away with pre-orders. The next two singles bombed, even in places like the UK, one of her most dedicated markets. "Give Me All Your Luvin'" charted at #37, "Girl Gone Wild," "MDNA"'s second single, charted at #73, and the third and last single "Turn Up The Radio" chart at #175. It didn't even chart in the US. Then there was horrible film "W.E." in 2012, which cost $29 million to make, and only made $868,439 at the box office. Does she understand that she's musically irrelevant now? Should she just stick to performing "Greatest Hits" tours? I'm betting she lives in a bubble with a whole load of Yes Men. Her last tour didn't pull in the same amount of $$$ as the previous one, although it didn't remarkably well. Why? She's still having to sing "Vogue" and "Like A Virgin". Her personal life is a disaster as well - all the plastic surgery, 20-year-old bought and paid for boyfriends, etc. Then she's still in that freaky cult. Oh, let's not forget her taking her tits and showing her ass and vagina at 54, she trying to prove that she's hot and trying to shock people. Do you think she can accept simply being a touring artist, a nostalgia act? That's all she has now. Her directing career, which she was aiming for, is never going to happen. We're seeing and discussing child stars and over-the-hill celebs in crisis non-stop today. I imagine Madonna's going to be added to the list.

June 10, 2010, 10:03 PM ET has obtained an FBI affidavit unsealed Thursday which alleges that Joran van der Sloot attempted to extort $25,000 from the mother of missing woman Natalee Holloway and lied about the location of her body. According to the affidavit, van der Sloot told a cooperating witness -- a person close to Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty -- that Holloway died after he threw her to the ground "after she had attempted to stop him from leaving her." He allegedly claimed she hit her head on a rock and died. The affidavit alleges that van der Sloot went on to say that his father, Paulus van der Sloot, disposed of Holloway's body by burying her "in the gravel under the foundation of [a] single story house." However, according to the document, the aformentioned home wasn't in construction at the time of Holloway's disappearance, and the witness allegedly later received an email from van der Sloot saying that he had lied about the location of Holloway's remains. The affidavit alleges it all began when van der Sloot contacted the witness in March and offered to reveal the whereabouts of Holloway's daughter's body and the circumstances of her death and disappearance in exchange for $250,000. "Van der Sloot indicated to the cooperating witness that unless Mrs. Twitty paid the money demanded he would not tell where the remains of her daughter were hidden, nor provide any information regarding the circumstances of her death," the affidavit states. According to the document, Van der Sloot insisted that a contract be drawn up with the terms of the deal, and the cooperating witness drew up the contract and had it signed by Van der Sloot when the witness met him on May 10 in Aruba. The witness then allegedly paid van der Sloot $10,000 in cash, and following that, Mrs. Twitty wire allegedly transferred $15,000 into van der Sloot's bank account in the Netherlands. Van der Sloot is currently in custody in Peru related to the death of Stephany Flores. U.S. prosecutors charged him with extortion on the same day of Flores' death.

Years ago, I bought a Samsung TV that just stopped working after a little over a year. Rather than bother with it, I just replaced it. No big deal; I was waiting for a reason to go HD anyway.\ \ Last year, I bought a Samsung Blu-Ray player for the HD in the living room. It died a month later. I returned it to Best Buy, where they apologized and said they see a lot of Blu-Ray players get returned. No problem; they swapped it out and all was fine.\ \ Today, for no reason, that Blu-Ray player died. \ \ Anyone else have issues with Samsung products or did I just get a couple of bad duds?

It's funny looking back at articles about actors we now know were gay, like Rock Hudson and Richard Chamberlain, you can always find subtle hints about their sexuality, even if the writers never come right out and say it. Can you think of any articles or interviews that seem to be hinting at a celeb being gay?

You all here think so, at least if you read the Timberlake threads. But on other gossip sites they think he's straight. Celeb writers/bloggers who traffic in gossip say he is straight - EG Ted C, that Lainey person. If you read on him here and other sites, it's like two different people. What's the real deal? Is he gay or not? Am curious to hear from DLers who actually know something, not so much a bunch of speculating fraus, fans and haters...

I just couldn't bring myself to do it. My fight-or-flight response kicked in & I told my manager I needed to go use the Coke machine…walked out and ended up being fired for it. Yours?

The creator of the show is Jewish and I read that in real life she has a trans parent, but the nastiness of that Jewish family makes a Philip Roth novel seem like a nursery rhyme. If the Nazis in the 1940s had produced propaganda TV about degenerate Jews, this is what it would look like.
This post is in honor of the trilingual tilde. It is used in Spanish, Portuguese, and English! How exciting! It is also referred to informally as "squiggly", but not by me. My punctuation grant does not permit me to discuss non-English usage, but in English, it is used to mean "approximately", as in "I'll see you ~3 pm". That is how I usually use it. The tilde may be used as a space-saver in place of other letters which the writer expects the reader to know, as in "The tilde is a personal fav~ of mine." It is also used to denote sleazy, sordid, or otherwise base behavior, who knew?! It can mean a very positive general exclamation~, like [italic]that [/italic]; or it can also cover flirtatious behavior, wow! It is used by nerds in mathematics and physics, without which the world would stop going around. Very impressive! Oh, it's used in writing but is never said aloud in normal usage, other than to discuss it.

Since facts do indeed have a liberal bias, the programming solution was never to prop up a bunch of liberal figureheads. I would have settled for actual news coverage that didn't embrace "the view from nowhere," as media critic Jay Rosen so famously put it. Both sides don't do it, and false equivalence is not journalism. Take a side! Just allow it to be dictated by actual facts, not some hack from a right-wing think tank. Disclose potential conflicts, don't let your news anchors collect fat checks for speaking to groups they're supposed to cover. It's really not as complicated as you think -- unless, of course, the real goal is to push the ownership's corporate agenda: Link: As its afternoon shows hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid are canceled due to poor ratings, MSNBC is reportedly planning to replace Chris Hayes with Rachel Maddow. It was hardly a surprise Thursday when ratings-challenged MSNBC announced the cancellation of the poor-performing afternoon programs hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid after less than a year, with veteran news anchor Thomas Roberts stepping in to preside over the two-hour block from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Until a permanent replacement is named for Roberts’s 5:30 a.m. program Way Too Early, the 6 a.m. Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will temporarily take up the slack by starting a half-hour earlier. But according to knowledgeable sources at the Comcast-owned cable network, Thursday’s moves were only the opening salvo in a wider programming shakeup. In the relatively near term, two well-placed sources predicted to The Daily Beast, Chris Hayes will be relieved of his weak-performing 8 p.m. show All In, to be replaced by the current 9 p.m. host of The Rachel Maddow Show, while a talent search is currently underway to fill the prime-time slot to be vacated by Maddow.An MSNBC spokesperson—who tried put a happy face on the demotions with talk of prime-time specials and “multiplatform” national reporting for the still-employed Farrow and Reid--declined to comment on the Hayes-Maddow scenario. In the longer term, these sources said, the Rev. Al Sharpton—a larger than life personality who attracts a 35 percent African-American audience but continues, after 3½ years of nightly practice, to wrestle with his Teleprompter--could eventually be moved from his weeknight 6 p.m. slot to a weekend time period, as MNSBC President Phil Griffin attempts to reverse significant viewership slides by accentuating straight news over left-leaning opinion. “Everybody in the food chain from top to bottom understands that the Olbermann era is over,” said an MSNBC source, referring to the glory days during George W. Bush’s administration when incendiary liberal Keith Olbermann regularly attracted a million viewers—many of them seeking refuge from White House and Republican talking points.The MSNBC source said, “Going left was a brilliant strategy while it lasted and made hundreds of millions of dollars for Comcast, but now it doesn’t work any more...The goal is to move away from left-wing TV.”

Before the booze and cigs did their damage.
Some Awkward Moments: Amenities Offer a Clean Break but Can Put Workers in a Lather One day before work, Shaun Martin made a moist unpleasant discovery. The Austin, Texas, software development manager had just finished a workout and hit the shower in his office to clean off before settling into work. Then the 32-year old reached for his navy blue towel. “The towel was damp. Worse than damp,” he says, describing the moment he first realized a co-worker had been secretly using his terry cloth. The latest homey amenity to crop up in the workplace, office showers are going mainstream, ushering in a new era of intimacy and awkwardness among co-workers. Many workers have mastered the perils of the corporate gym locker room—studiously avoiding eye contact to avert a glimpse of the boss in boxer briefs—but the showers near their cubicles have raised a host of new issues, from purloined towels to hot-water hogs. Showering at Brooks Running Co. has become more of a relay race than an exercise in relaxation, thanks to timers in the Seattle-based apparel and footwear company’s showers. The showers shut off after four minutes, and to deter an employee from doubling the length of a rinse, don’t turn on again for five minutes. Designed to conserve water, the showers have led to unexpected corporate team-building. To save time, a group of male runners performs a feat nearly as challenging as their six-to-eight-mile lunchtime workouts: One at a time, they hop in for 30-second bursts, giving a yell when they’re about to step out of the shower. The timer’s beeps count down the final five seconds, adding an element of pressure and competition to the midday break. “It was definitely a race against the clock,” Michael Chinchar, a 26-year-old corporate responsibility specialist at the company, says of a recent rinse, when he jumped in with 20 seconds to go—leaving little time for shampoo, much less conditioner. “We all just kind of do the necessities,” he says. Colleagues dry each other off in the locker room afterward. There is a separate facility for women. “With a benefit comes responsibility,” says Peter Post, the managing director of the Emily Post Institute. While part of the office, the shower zone should not be treated as a workspace, he advises. “This is not the time to waylay your boss or even your co-worker who’s standing here in their towel,” he says. Realizing that some people do their best thinking in the shower, online shipping services company uShip Inc., where Mr. Martin works, recently installed a notepad with waterproof paper on the shower’s tile walls. Meg Garrett, the company’s vice president for human resources, acknowledges the shower setup might strike some as a bit too close for comfort. “You, at some point in time, were naked in the same room as your co-workers,” she says. “If you think about that in its simplest form, it’s a little weird.” Mr. Martin, the worker who discovered a colleague had been using his towel, rarely uses the work shower these days, saying the incident left him “miffed.” He never confronted the perpetrator, he says. “ ‘Violated’ is too strong of a word,” he says. Still, “it’s gross.”
Showering with your co-workers is the new trust fall for team-building

Could Charlie Rose and Gayle King become the next hosts of "The Early Show"? The New York Post reported on Monday that Chris Licht, the vice president of programming at CBS News and the former executive producer of "Morning Joe," is in talks with Rose --who has a long history with the network-- to take the helm of the perennially last-place morning show. The paper said that Licht wants King to be the Mika Brzezinski to Rose's Joe Scarborough. One thing is for sure: the Rose rumors do not appear to be baseless. The man himself acknowledged to Newsweek's Howard Kurtz in a Monday interview that he is talking to CBS. "I'm having conversations with CBS because I'm a member of that family," he said. "I'm intrigued by the fact that they want to do it differently. They understand that their success will not lie in duplicating what's already on morning television." If Rose actually were to take over the program, it would certainly be evidence of CBS doubling down on its recent approach with the show, which has been to emphasize hard news at the expense of the softer items the other morning shows are known for. It would also be the third major overhaul of "Early" in less than a year. In November 2010, the show fired all of its anchors. In May, executive producer David Friedman was let go. The King rumors appear to be a little flimsier. There is no direct evidence that she has begun talks with CBS like Rose has. The two do not make an immediately logical morning show pair, either. But if the duo were to claim their seats at the "Early Show" desk, it would be one of the more audacious and intriguing scenarios the genre has seen in some time.
Looks like Gayle King and Charlie Rose could be the new CBS Morning Show hosts.
Prince Harry to leave the army after 10 years Surprise move by prince who is said to be planning ‘a significant period abroad’ on field projects in Africa Press Association, Friday 27 February 2015 13.35 GMT Prince Harry is expected to leave the army this year after 10 years in the British military, according to widespread reports. He is understood to have decided to end his active military career, during which he took two tours of duty in Afghanistan. The move comes as a surprise as Harry is a passionate member of the armed forces who appeared to be focused on a long career serving as a British army officer. Kensington Palace would not comment on the news, first reported in London’s Evening Standard, issuing a short statement highlighting his current role. It said: “Prince Harry is currently focused on his work supporting the Ministry of Defence’s recovery capability programme to ensure those who are wounded, injured or sick have appropriate recovery plans and the necessary support they require. It’s a natural progression from the work he did organising the Invictus Games. “This involves working alongside case officers in London District’s personal recovery unit and visiting various recovery centres and partner agencies (like forces charities and the NHS) around the country.” A source close to the royal household said: “This work is helping Prince Harry develop his knowledge of how the system works. “The military will always play a very important part in Prince Harry’s life and especially supporting those who have served or are serving in the armed forces. It is a topic he is passionate about, both personally and professionally, and he will always want to use his position to help, regardless of his military role.” The Standard said the 30-year-old prince plans to focus on his charity work and aims to spend “a significant period abroad” on field projects in Africa. He is keen to pursue his interests in conservation and wildlife and to continue helping the rehabilitation of injured service personnel. Before his active military duties end, he is expected to move to Australia for “several weeks”, seconded to serve with units there, the newspaper said. Later he will spend time in New Zealand but not be involved with the military there, it added.

Wake, starring Bruce Willis and Ben Kingsley, appears to have run out of funds, less than two weeks into shooting. A new thriller starring Bruce Willis has hit a major snag once cameras had started rolling: the production has had to close down for the time being, less than two weeks into filming. The film is question is Wake, starring Willis and Ben Kingsley, and it's an independent film that was shooting in Cleveland, under the stewardship of director John Pogue. Piper Perabo and Ellen Burstyn are also in the cast. However, in spite of the fact that the shoot was set to continue until mid-April, it's being reported that "funds have dried up," and production has been suspended. A statement from the Greater Cleveland Film Commission said that it was "aware that the film 'Wake' has discontinued filming due to a lack of financing. It is our understanding that they are trying to find the remaining funds to complete the film. So far their experience in Cleveland has been very positive and they hope to return to Cleveland very soon." The statement further says that "we are optimistic we will resume principal photography in approximately 2-3 weeks." Willis had already been on set, and had shot material for Wake. Where this leaves the production, and how it now fits into everybody's schedules, remains to be seen. Here's hoping all concerned can get Wake back up and running shortly...

This is from last year, but I don't remember seeing it here. Terri's family appears to be a pack of grifters, no different than sleazy televangelists. [quote]In most recent IRS report that the Foundation filed for 2008, it shows the foundation took in $91,568 and paid Terri's dad Robert Schindler Sr., her brother Robert Jr. and her sister Suzanne Vitadamo $59,275, or 64% of the money they raised. [quote]Charity Navigator a respected Charity Rating organization says any charity spending more than 30 percent on salaries gets a zero rating. The foundation doesn't come close. In the meantime, since the report was filed, the salaries have increased to $80,000 a year, but the Foundation says one salary is in arrears causing some family members to work without pay. Also since the IRS report was filed and Terri Schiavo's father died. [quote]Schindler didn't tell us anything, including how the organization spent $34,000s more than it collected in 2008; about the money it raised from a concert with country stars Randy Travis and Colin Ray, why as it told the IRS, the Foundation doesn't have a conflict of interest policy; and why it is using the name Terri Schiavo. A court document gives Michael Schiavo intangible rights to his wife's name. After reading the article and looking up the foundation's site, I'm still not sure what the foundation's actual purpose is except to take in money.

I am way late to the game on this one. I am going to be vague as I do not want to spoil the show for anyone... I am into the 8th episode of the 2nd season.. Random observations Has Robin Wright ever been better? She is amazing. The best written character on the show. What strikes me the most is what she doesn't say. The character says very little in a sense. It is what that is left unsaid that what makes her so enticing to watch. The first season was SO MUCH better than this 2nd season. My favorite angle was the balance of the journalists and the politicians. After what happened with Zoey and then her journalist boyfriend, it appears this angle is done? Peter Russo is by far my favorite male character. What a brilliant job this guy did... The thing about this show that really pissed me off is that it tricked me. Once Francis did what he did to Peter, the show veered into pure soap opera. Then the first episode of the 2nd season with Zoey? It was brilliant and shocking, but pure soap opera.. I had no idea until late in the first season what a loon Kevin Spacey's character is. The show is almost campy.. still enjoyable, but its basically trashy fun.

I was a little kid when I first saw Beetlejuice, but now that I'm an adult I can't get over how hot Alec Baldwin used to be! Do you think he's fine with how he looks now? It's one thing to go from fairly handsome to "just okay"; however, he went from a solid 10 to about a 6 (he still has nice eyes). Not only that, but Billy has aged even better and Billy only got up to an 8.5 on the hot scale. I always wonder if former models and stuff ever intentionally want to die young out of fear of losing their looks.
Historians, anthropologists and religious scholars often disagree on the origins of circumcision, the surgical removal of the foreskin. But a colorful recreation of what may be the oldest depiction of circumcision has made its way to Twitter, thanks to online education site Open Culture. The image comes from a relief on the tomb of Ankhmahor, a priest and advisor who lived during the 6th Dynasty -- roughly 2323-2150 B.C.E. According to religion scholar Gerald A. Larue, ancient historian Herodotus visited Egypt in the 5th century B.C.E. and reported that the Egyptians "practice circumcision for the sake of cleanliness, for they place cleanliness before comeliness." Herodotus also suggested that Jews had adopted the custom from the Egyptians, though Larue notes there is no way to be sure of the practice's origins. Religions and cultures around the world practice circumcision for different reasons, but perhaps none as devoutly as the Jewish community. According to the Torah, circumcision is a requirement laid out from God who in Genesis 17: 9-14 commanded Abraham to circumcise himself, all male members of his household, his descendants and all his slaves.

Couldn't he cancel the insurance without going through the courts? Also, wouldn't lawyer and court costs eat up that $2k savings account? His ex-wife is pissed, btw.

Which whole TV series, can you watch over and over again? They're running Six Feet Under on TV here again and I must have seen the whole thing three times over the years and I'm surprised at myself that I'm considering giving it yet another shot. Are there whole TV series you've watched all the way through more than say, twice? (I exclude comedies because lots of people watch them over and over).
Gorgeous. Tell me more about him.
What's up with that?? Is it an age thing?

Did anybody see this show last night? it's about two guys that own and run a food truck specializing in wings. Watching the previews I was expecting to watch the show and point out and laugh at all the gay subtexts but the first scene it showed that these guys live together and one guy is in the kitchen cooking and fussing at the other guy to come down for breakfast. then he's saying the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I'm like OMG they're a couple. The only reason this is interesting is you rarely see a gay black male couple anywhere. Did anyone see this?
Police in Massachusetts have charged an 18-year-old honor student with involuntary manslaughter for her alleged role in the death of classmate Conrad Roy, 18, who took his own life last July. According to prosecutors, Michelle Carter of Plainville, Massachusetts "strongly influenced" Roy's decision to kill himself, privately advocating he poison himself with carbon monoxide while publicly expressing concern about the missing teen's whereabouts and safety. From The Boston Globe: After writing one friend to say, "I'm losing all hope that he's even alive," Carter texted Roy, "Let me know when you're gonna do it," according to a police report. Carter, now a senior at King Philip High School, had a "full understanding" of the suicide plan, and in the days leading up to Roy's death "not only encouraged Conrad to take his own life, she questioned him repeatedly as to when and why he hadn't done it yet," the report said.

I was just thinking that RHOA and RHOBH are about to end, and this was the first time Bravo would have no Real Housewives airing, as RHONJ is on hold, and RHOC and RHONY are not ready to air. Until I read that Housewives of Melbourne has been given a primetime slot on Bravo in early March. Season 2!!! In my opinion, this may be the best of them all. So keeeep your Chinese Whisp-aaas to yourselves!
Real Housewives of Melbourne! Holy fuck.

I've been teaching for 15 years and can't take it any longer. It's not the kids or parents. It's the beauracracy and administration. I need out, but don't know where to go from teaching. I'm bilingual (Spanish/English) and have a special education background. Any suggestions on how I could transition quickly to another job/career? Anyone here moved on to another career after teaching? I feel stuck.

Christopher Nolan has become one of Hollywood's most successful filmmakers, as well as one of its most contested. We examine why... In case you missed it, the Oscars were this past weekend and Birdman was the big winner. The Academy’s choice to award Alejandro González Iñárritu's fever dream was a genuine shock, not least of all because it actually was my favorite movie of the year. Nonetheless, some things never change, and in that vein it's certainly a non-surprise the Academy also hardly noticed the most ambitious blockbuster of 2014: the Christopher Nolan space epic, Interstellar. Indeed, I use the phrase “non-surprise,” because how could it be a winner when it was only nominated for the bare minimum of five Oscars in technical categories that are reserved as consolation prizes? This is by all means par for the course with a film that has experienced a mixed reaction amongst filmgoers and critics in addition to the mainstream-opposed AMPAS. Also, I admittedly stand somewhere along the favorable half of the Interstellar divide: for my money, Christopher Nolan again crafted one of the most thought-provoking films of its year, “big budget” kids table qualifiers be damned. Interstellar might be a Hollywood tentpole, but it is also a stunning one that welcomes speculation about its Secular End Times Mythmaking, as well as scientific scrutiny since it is now considered a resource on the visible structure of black holes in relation to light. Nevertheless Interstellar, much like Nolan himself, seems to be facing an increased backlash that is all too familiar, despite the director being one of the most respected talents in Hollywood. Generally speaking, it might appear ludicrous to suggest that one of the most lucrative studio moneymakers is experiencing serious blowback, be it critical or populist. After all, Interstellar—a film that has a climax revolving around an elephantine visualization of fifth dimensional theoretical physics—earned over $670 million worldwide and mostly positive reviews. Mr. Nolan's previous “original idea” blockbuster, Inception, grossed $825 million worldwide and was nominated for Best Picture; and in between those efforts, he finished off The Dark Knight Trilogy, which when combined earned about $2.5 billion worldwide and even a few Oscars, including a posthumous Supporting Actor trophy for Heath Ledger’s iconic portrayal of the Joker. However, it is exactly because of this success, both critically and the far more grievously financial, that Nolan faces a rising tide of Academy snubs. How the Interstellar director didn't qualify for a Best Director nomination in a year that gave a quizzical nod to Bennett Miller’s lethargic Foxcatcher is puzzling. In fact, Nolan’s success places him at a familiar if rare position within Hollywood filmmaking: at its epicenter. And when one finds that elusive sweet spot where art and commerce first intersect—craft and showmanship—it can lead to resentment on all sides. Unlike other foreign markets, Hollywood has long been a tug-of-war between lofty aspirations and the industry’s need to entertain. Filmmaking may be a business almost everywhere else, but in the U.S., it has always been an extension of show business—as in the Ethel Merman variety. Dating back to the earliest Hollywood moguls all the way to the more diverse landscape of independent American filmmaking and its 1990s golden age, this give-and-take has always been present. In such an environment, there is a distinction between the showmen and the artists. Long before the auteur theory existed, there was still a line in the sand separating the producers or directors that made the crowd pleasers, and those that made the award winners. If there was any overlap, it was when a Western pioneer like John Ford got political with The Grapes of Wrath or How Green is My Valley, rather than when he was calling John Wayne a sonofabitch in Monument Valley while filming Stagecoach or The Searchers. Yet, there have still been those rare filmmakers that paradoxically enjoy exploring the center of studio moviemaking with large budgets, large audiences, and even larger ambitions. While I would never call directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, and Steven Spielberg of the same temperament or persuasion, they all have familiar beats in their professional biography: Alfred Hitchcock was a successful English filmmaker who was invited to Hollywood. His first American film was Rebecca (1940), a picture that had a compromised ending due to the creative control exerted by Hitch’s producer, David O. Selznick—who had just come off the legendary Gone with the Wind. However, it was with few Hollywood movies afterwards that Hitchcock ever faced that kind of creative restriction again. Hitchcock became a theatrical favorite for the American moviegoing public with his taut genre thrillers that usually starred the biggest names of Hollywood’s Golden Age: Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in Notorious, Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly in Rear Window, and Cary Grant again with Eva Marie Saint in North by Northwest. Until 1964’s Marnie, Hitch didn’t really miss once with audiences at the box office, save for Vertigo (1958), a Stewart vehicle that is now considered one of Hitchcock’s many masterpieces, showcasing a sense of composition and psychological framing that is still haunting. During this ascension, Hitch also made himself a star at a time when most Americans couldn’t tell Frank Capra from Billy Wilder. But Hitchcock's corpulent profile was unmistakable thanks to his shameless self-promotion on the 1950s TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It also was a great springboard that allowed movie lovers to recognize Hitch when he would cameo in his films. In this 25-year Hollywood success story, complete with masterworks like Shadow of a Doubt, Dial M for Murder, and Psycho, he never won a competitive Oscar. Sure, he received a lifetime achievement prize in 1968, but his “genre” pictures full of sex, murder, and adventure were rarely accepted as high art until near Hitch’s death in 1980. Stanley Kubrick also only ever won a single Oscar…for his contribution to visual effects in 1968’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Despite being nominated repeatedly for direction and/or writing on Dr. Strangelove, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and Full Metal Jacket, Kubrick was mostly ignored. 2001 wasn’t even nominated for Best Picture. For that matter, neither were Paths of Glory, Spartacus, or The Shining. Conversely, Steven Spielberg has won two Oscars for direction, and one for Best Picture. However, the Academy might have been contractually obligated to hand them over since while inarguably masterful, Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan's World War II backdrop made them instant Academy favorites. Prior to Schindler’s List, Spielberg experienced the same recognizable disdain for making very artful, and very successful, populist entertainments for over a decade. These supposedly mindless diversions, which I’ve heard described as “puppet’ showcases, include Jaws, which Spielberg is famously on film at the moment when he realized he wouldn’t get a Best Director nomination, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. None of these directors, or Nolan for that matter, have a similar aesthetic. Indeed, Kubrick and Spielberg are diametrically opposed since one filmmaker is considered by cinephiles to be the greatest artist in the medium, hailing absolutely from a coldly intellectual perspective, and the other was the Baby Boomer equivalent of Walt Disney with his unashamed embrace of sentimentality. But both knew better than anyone at how to seduce, dazzle, and entertain the audience—and they did so in separate ways that the other famously envied. Kubrick’s sensibility to make personal, cerebral meditations that could become box office success stories, and Spielberg’s crowd pleasers that could also feature transcendent sequences like the USS Indianapolis moment in Jaws, was the reason the two finally collaborated on A.I. But also like Nolan, backlash could always be imminent. Consider that while A Clockwork Orange made over $20 million on a $2 million budget, it was also rated X and eventually banned in the UK (on Kubrick's request) after a year of protests. Two films later, Kubrick’s The Shining was a sleeper genre hit in 1980 that got no Oscar love, but received two Razzie nominations. Now both films are considered deconstructionist classics. All this brings me back to Christopher Nolan, a director who after Following and Memento was the toast of art house theaters. He then was hired by Warner Bros. to remake a Norwegian film called Insomnia and never looked back. Since going to Hollywood, Nolan has become synonymous with blockbusters, explosive budgets, and high concept projects like the Batman franchise and “dream machines.” After almost every effort, critical and box office accolades have followed, but so has a rising chorus of discontent, which grows only louder the more successful he becomes. Obviously, all opinions are fair, but more than any filmmaker of his generation, Nolan has been able to move the paradigm of Hollywood moviemaking, for both the elite and mainstream franchising. And the more that he becomes an industry leader, the more noticeable the backlash waves on both ends of the culture rise. For example, consider the most successful film Christopher Nolan has helmed to date, 2008’s The Dark Knight. As the only superhero movie to ever enjoy serious award consideration, its Best Picture snubbing was so insipidly received that the Academy forced itself (with much inside aggrievement) to raise the number of potential Best Picture nominees to 10—which noticeably did little to help mainstream favorites last year like Interstellar or David Fincher’s Gone Girl. On the other end of the cultural spectrum, The Dark Knight and its less famous predecessor Batman Begins rewrote the playbook on franchise films. For starters, we can thank (or blame) Begins for introducing the term “reboot” into the studio lexicon. Without that successful relaunch of the Batman series, it is hard to imagine Casino Royale, Star Trek, The Amazing Spider-Man, or Man of Steel turning out the way that they did. And concurrently, the ponderous post-9/11 tone that made The Dark Knight so uncomfortably relevant has also been duplicated to positive effect (Skyfall) and far lesser ones (Star Trek Into Darkness, Man of Steel). The more that other filmmakers emulate Nolan, the more he resembles in this writer’s mind Steven Spielberg’s 1980s success. There are some noticeable differences, such as Spielberg producing many of his disciples like Tobe Hooper with Poltergeist and Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future under the Amblin banner, but it was still a decade of influence that only increased a resentment from the Academy, even when Spielberg aimed for a higher brow with pictures like The Color Purple and Empire of the Sun. Similarly, as the “gritty” style attributed to Nolan becomes common, the more evident the backlash appears in even the fan community that used to worship the director like a British pagan deity. Where once his Batman films were lauded as “masterpieces,” many of them are now dismissed by the same online websites for being too much of the director’s aesthetic, and too unlike the new shiny toys of Zack Snyder or Kevin Feige, which incorporate words like “world-building” and “six-film contracts” and “unending oblivion,” as opposed to concepts like “trilogies” and “endings,” and “complete stories.” Prior to Interstellar’s release, an entertainment site that I respect and admire ran a record-breaking 11 negative articles about the film before anyone outside of the press had seen it. Again, opinion is opinion, yet this reeks of an editorial disdain for a filmmaker’s influence on pop culture. It causes one to wonder if the dialogue of Howard Hawks, Woody Allen, or Quentin Tarantino is subject to the same “naturalist” scrutiny. Or for that matter, if there are online critics who sit in every screening from Guardians of the Galaxy to The Grand Budapest Hotel with a pen and paper poised to jot down “plot holes.” Ironically, I suspect a previous Nolan film has already addressed such aggressively capricious hate-watching: as Leonardo DiCaprio said in Inception, “It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.” Being able to spend hours studying an illusion to find the wires after the fact can be a fun pastime, but it hardly is a discredit to the magician if you are fooled in the theater. Like the dueling illusionists in another Nolan film that acts as a mission statement, such mania might even be welcome. But personally, what I find most ingratiating is a filmmaker that both knows how to dazzle and challenge audiences. I would argue that almost every film in Nolan’s catalogue to date features him grappling with personal anxieties, either as a storyteller (Inception), parent (Interstellar), or simply a westerner during the endless War on Terror march (The Dark Knight). Yet, none are afraid to either blow up buildings or use special effects to enrapture the audience. For a filmmaker to treat “superhero cinema” as exactly that, and not just disposable fast food, should be savored. And incidentally, Nolan’s ability to tap into every form of recent anxiety in the name of entertainment is perhaps his greatest feat. One no longer needs to remember Fallujah to find discomfort in 2015 while watching masked men hang captives from the George Washington Bridge in The Dark Knight Rises. Nor is one allowed to shrug off the dust bowl of Interstellar as pure science fiction fantasy when NASA predicts that we will likely see a 20-40 year megadrought in the 21st century. This ability to play to the eyes and the intellect, be it through IMAX cameras or storylines borne from the musings of theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, is a rare sensibility that will likely still impress decades after awards gatekeepers and pop culture enthusiasts feel less threatened by a style that they currently cannot avoid. Several years ago, while discussing his own filmography with Star World, Steven Spielberg paid the highest compliment to The Dark Knight films when he said, “For me, the Chris Nolan Batman films are art films. Very successful, well told stories, but also with beautiful visual art.” This surprised even me, a fan of the Batman films that didn’t mind questioning whether their hero could outgrow childhood traumas and adolescent aspirations (like dressing up as a bat). But Spielberg, no stranger to making pop culture masterpieces of his own in spite of plenty of Academy Award snubs, still felt obliged to offer the kind of praise many film aficionados would hesitate penning, including myself at one time. But perhaps that is because Spielberg, like several other infamously Oscar-ignored filmmakers, understands a secret first coined by Oscar Wilde: “Every effect that one produces gives one an enemy. To be popular, one must be a mediocrity.” Nolan has had a hell of an effect on Hollywood and the Academy as of late.
