Is anyone else as bummed out as I am by the choice of Alyssa Milano as the host of the All Star Show? She's always struck me as the epitome of C list Hollywood, a tv star without charm or talent, just a kind of throwaway name. Couldn't they have gotten someone else? The list of All-Stars is actually kind of interesting though -- they actually have some winners this time, not just the runner-ups.
One of my favorite television shows ever. Very sophisticated, and very much predictive of the style of later TV shows--it was the first show to be called a "dramedy," it used only a single camera, and was a huge influence on later shows like Thirtysomething. Blair Brown was wonderful as the star, and was very beautiful. This was the haunting, moody intro. It really captures a vanished kind of Eighties glamor (yes, there was such a thing).

A judge just gave the a-ok to cut public pensions in Detroit and apparently, CA is next. Supposedly, this is all a scam to plunder our wealth. When smaller municipal corporations had little resistance as test cases for these outrageous claims of fraudulent bankruptcy and default, the larger municipalities gained the confidence that the financially illiterate cesspool of people as citizens don’t know there heads from a hole in the wall when it comes to the financial reporting apparatus of government. The people were determined to be sufficiently ignorant of even the basic checking account balance of the general fund in their local governments and school districts, let alone the massive collective government investment scam robbing them of the entirety of their wealth, making it reasonable to assume that these municipal corporation’s financial position would likely never be challenged by that clueless mass of the indentured. And so the latest trend of conspiracy and fraud against those debt- slaves continues

A new report claims that the Justice League will be a “United Nations” of superheroes, with each member of the team representing a different part of the world, while Denzel Washington, Idris Elba and Arrow’s David Ramsey have all been considered for ‘Lex Luthor’ in Batman Vs. Superman… Think McFly Think are reporting that their Warner Bros. source (who told them about David Goyer writing the Man of Steel sequel and Gotham being developed for TV) has now given them an update on the casting process for Lex Luthor in Batman Vs. Superman. Denzel Washington (2 Guns) was apparently the top choice, although “nothing ever materialized”, and Idris Elba (Thor: The Dark World) was considered before his deal with Marvel Studios put an end to that idea before it even really got started. However, one actor who has been approached is Arrow's David Ramsey. The site points out that this doesn't mean Luthor will definitely be played by an African American actor. They also claim to have some details on the planned Justice League movie, saying that the team will be portrayed as the “United Nations” of superheroes. Apparently, "The concept we’ve heard plays Superman represents the world as a whole (Being an immigrant of Earth he speaks for everyone), Batman would represent the United States with the American Affleck in the cape-and-cowl with the Flash possibly portrayed by an Hispanic or Laitno actor and as we saw announced yesterday an Wonder Woman played by an Israeli." Presumably, Wonder Woman would represent Paradise Island, and this would without a doubt help to differentiate the franchise from The Avengers. It would also line up with the sort of political overtones Goyer brought to the Batman movies he worked on and Man of Steel. For now though, take this all with a pinch of salt!

There is an article about her in her local newspaper written by a friend who clearly hates her bro.
We just had another lesbian falsely report a hate crime. What is it with our sisters these days? *** Dayna Morales, the New Jersey waitress and former U.S. Marine, who garnered national headlines after she insisted a family stiffed her last week because she’s lesbian, allegedly has a long history of telling whoppers to get attention and sympathy, including reports that she claimed to be suffering from brain cancer and her home had been damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Since the family who allegedly stiffed the server at the Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, NJ have produced a receipt they claim proves they left a gratuity and they aren’t responsible for the offensive note for Morales, media attention has focused on who to believe. Morales’ friends and coworkers eventually ratted out her many past indiscretions to the Journal News. When Morales worked at a day care center she told her fellow workers that Superstorm Sandy sent a boat through the living room of her home. Yet when they went by her house to see for themselves, they noticed only minor damage to the carpet by her front door and no signs of a boat. A coworker named Julie Howat said that Morales felt she needed to be a part of every tragedy that happened. “Every story she comes up with has a lie,” Howat revealed. “She needed sympathy and empathy.” Karolee Larkin, a former classmate who also worked alongside Morales at the day care center agreed. “You can’t believe much of what she says,” Larkin said. Also called into question is the extent of Morales’ military service. Morales allegedly told people she had not only served in Afghanistan, but that she was the sole survivor of an explosion that wiped out her entire platoon. Whoa! Someone obviously forgot how easy it would be to expose that kind of fib. The Journal News contacted a Marines spokesperson who confirmed Morales served four years in the U.S. Marines but there was “no indication of combat service in Iraq or Afghanistan.” As for the matter of the missing gratuity and note that ignited the firestorm, Gallop Asian Bistro manager Byron Lapola said he’s still investigating what happened and that Morales was “currently not on the schedule” to work.

While we waited on a booth, there was the typical, omnipresent young'ish mother waiting with us. She had an infant in one hand and a little toddler girl, about 2 years old. The toddler did what toddlers do; She was sniffly, snorty, kept wiping snot on her little pink jacket as mommy ignored it, periodically reminding her that daddy would be joining them. Along the glass wall, there were small glass Christmas tree balls like you hang on a tree.. They were suspended from ribbon taped at the top of the windows at varying levels. Once the little girl discovered these, she began playing with them, eventually pulling them back and watching them bang against the glass. I knew one was going to shatter. Mommy allowed it, talking to the kid like she was more of a friend "Oh look, they're just taped up there, they could come down." but never once admonishing the little girl to stop it. Eventually, one fell, and cracked on the floor. Mommy could not be bother in the least by this and told the little girl to be careful not to step on it. But the little girl kept playing until finally, she pulled one back from the window, let it go and it shatters against the glass! Only then did mom make her quit and then called over the too-busy bus person to have him clean up the shit. And THIS is why I don't get mothers, not young ones anyway. They're horrible people. What is it about the new way of parenting that has them allowing kids to do these things? Do they think the kid is "discovering life"? WTF is this woman's problem?
I just came a cross this fascinating article that has side-by-side pictures that compare what some popular dog breeds looked like 100 years ago and what their ancestors look like now. I had no idea how much breeding has transformed these dogs over the years to look like some freakish approximation of what they were. Of course, all of the breeding has brought about a host of physical defects. The Bull Terrier transformation is particularly freaky to me. Whatever possessed breeders to want a dog with that kind of a skull?

There's not been enough love out there yet for the hot British actor Sam Claflin, who in "Catching Fire" plays the sexy Finnick Odair, who is forced to prostitute himself for both sexes in the Capital by President Snow after winning a previous Hunger Games. He is very sexy in the movie, which downplayed his whoring (although it is alluded to, and he does wear little but a fishnet over his waist in one big scene).
...and it's not Gina Carano.
Who are they? Inspired by the "Beautiful people with no sex appeal" thread.
Although I live in a major city, Baltimore, I have spent most of my gay life without a close gay friend. All of my friends are straight, and as I get older: straight with children. At first glance I realize that there is a poverty in my life. Having no gay friends is like not having any black friends, or Jewish friends, or female friends. But then I ask what am I really missing. All my close friends love me and respect me. I am a good uncle. I keep up on matters in the gay community. Everyone knows I am gay- I don't hide it. And there is very little drama in my life. (not that gay men =drama) When I was in my twenties I went to the bars, community activities, etc. to meet other gay people and a possible mate. But I never really felt comfortable in that world. I have nothing against it, but it wasn't me. And so I did more things that I liked to do. I met other gays, but the friendship never took, and I always ended up being friends with the straight people I knew. Now at 48 I wonder is it really all that important. Being gay isn't the sum of my parts, and since I am not hindered by it do I need another person in my life to remind me of what they think being gay really means? Or am I really missing out? Does a happy gay man need other gay men or women as friends?

Why bother? It tends to look laughably bad when guys continue to color their hair, despite the deep wrinkles carved into their face.

The whole year all he does is bitch and bitch and come late when I need stuff and show up at inconvenient times and tell me why he cant do what I need but it will all always be a big drama… So, all of a sudden at Christmas, he is everywhere… so friendly, calling me by name, saying hello.

I like to wait until about Dec. 23 just to see how much he will debase himself. Then, I just hand him a couple of hundred dollars as I walk by. I dont sweat it, but I sure make him work for every cent, since he doesnt work much at other times of the year.
So Tom Daley has made the announcement that he is in a relationship with a man. He talks about how it makes him feel happy and safe. This is really where the discussion should end right? He's in a happy relationship, he feels safe, end of story. It shouldn't really be anyone else's business. But unfortunately, in today's celebrity obsessed culture, the private lives of anyone who's in the public eye are seen as up for discussion, especially when it comes to something like sexuality. Daley's revelation has led to a media storm with many media outlets labelling him as gay. And here's where my problem is with this whole discussion: Daley doesn't use any label in the video. The language he uses seems deliberately chosen to avoid any form of labelling of his sexuality. Either that or he feels that he hasn't settled on one yet. Regardless of his reasons, the media has mostly fallen over themselves to declare him a new gay icon. Even LGBTQ news site Pink News labelled him as such before rapidly changing their headline to 'Tom Daley: 'I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier''. They did also issue an apology for their original headline but it still stands that people were very quick to label him as gay. So why is this? Surely if he's, as he states in the video, in a relationship with a guy but still fancies girls that would make him bi or pansexual? If we're going to label him at all, why not use the correct one? Sadly, this is something that is common. Many bisexual celebrities are relabelled as either straight or gay, with Freddie Mercury, Virginia Woolf and Lady Gaga being just a few examples. The representation of bisexual people in popular culture is laughingly poor. In the Stonewall study Unseen on Screen out of 127 hours of TV surveyed, only five minutes and nine seconds were dedicated to portrayals of bisexuals. Five minutes and nine seconds. In comparison, gay men got four hours and 24 minutes and lesbians 42 minutes of screen time. In the grand scheme of things that's still a shockingly poor amount of time but compared to how long bisexuals get? It's an eternity. We've all heard the stereotypes about bisexuals. They're either confused and will decide on being straight or gay (an extension of this is the closeted argument that being bi is simply a step on the road to coming out fully) or they don't exist at all. They're greedy and promiscuous. I myself have been on the receiving end of this when a guy was chatting me up in a club. He backed off on finding out I had a boyfriend but when it came up in conversation that I was bi immediately turned around and asked, "So you will sleep with me then." Following on from this is the idea that bisexuals are carriers of STDs between the hetero and homosexual communities. Bisexual women are often asked if they'll participate in threesomes with straight couples simply because of their sexuality. Some people are told that they are reinforcing the patriarchy by participating in heteronormative as well as homosexual relationships. They are told that they are traitors if they move from a gay to a straight relationship. Finally, most people are told that it's simply a phase, that they'll make up their mind (usually to be straight) eventually. Bisexuality is very much a real thing, as is pansexuality. It is possible for people to love more than one gender. And bi erasure is also, unfortunately, a reality. And it's a huge problem within our society when you look at statistics to do with mental health and sexual violence in relation to bisexuals. In terms of suicidal thoughts, one Canadian study found where 7.4% straight men have them and 25.2% of gay men, 34.8% of bisexual men suffer from these. As for sexual violence, it's estimated from recent studies in the States that almost half of bisexual women have been raped with 75% being subjected to sexual violence of another form. Those figures are shocking. And we can't just ignore them and pretend they don't exist. How Tom Daley choses to identify himself is his own private business. How the media decides to label him is not: we should all be concerned about bisexual erasure within our society. It is real, and it is effecting people's lives in a big way. Imagine if every time a straight or gay person shared their sexuality they were told that they didn't exist, that they were simply wrong about how they understood their own identity. I recognise that for a lot of gay people this is a reality but in a more progressive society such as the UK, is it really that difficult to understand that a person can want to be with a person of any gender?
[quote]Another critical scalp (and this time it’s mine!) All good things come to an end (and some not so good things, too). I’ve been predicting the demise of careers in print journalism for some time, and yesterday the latest scalp was claimed: my own. After some eleven and a half years as theatre critic for the Sunday Express – which began with a review of the opening of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium in May 2002 and ended with a column that included an instant gay theatre classic in Jumpers for Goalposts at the Bush last Sunday – I have been laid off. So I follow in the footsteps of Libby Purves and Kate Bassett, respectively let go from reviewing for The Times and The Independent on Sunday, earlier this year. While it was an editorial decision in each of those cases – for The Times to change its critic and for the Indie on Sunday to abandon criticism entirely – mine turned out to be more intimate, historical and entirely unrelated to my professional activities. The paper had been tipped off by a malicious third party that there were some private, personal (but entirely legal) images of me available on a gay website. I’d never seen or heard of the site myself so it was news to me, but yes, the thumbnail picture I was shown by the Head of Human Resources was indeed of me. I had not posted it, but remembered it being taken, by my reckoning, by a friend in San Francisco I have long lost touch with some 22 years ago – long before I either worked for the paper or the internet had come of age, so I never expected them to turn up on a website that didn’t exist then – or to find it still live now! The Sunday Express’s Head of HR, however, believes that the existence of any such images could bring the company into disrepute. My sexuality is public knowledge and by revealing this information freely as I’m doing now, it is clear that I do not agree. The editor of the paper also stated, in front of the HR head, that the images were “embarrassing”. Sorry to disagree with his world view, but I’m not embarrassed at all. (In the week that Tom Daley came out, it is good to be able to be honest about who you are and even what you look like without your clothes on – though I will agree that Mr Daley looks rather better in a state of undress than I do.) It is, of course, the prerogative of a newspaper editor to choose his own writers but there is a certain irony that a newspaper, now owned by proprietor Richard Desmond whose business interests once included the publication of Penthouse in the UK and Asian Babes – and which he continued to publish long after he acquired the Express group in 2000, until he sold the adult magazine business in 2004 – should be so affronted. (The company continues to own and operate Television X, a series of subscription adult television channels) It could be said that the only difference is that these are straight magazines and channels, whereas mine was defined as a gay one As Nigella Lawson is currently discovering, the salacious details of one’s private life are often now in danger of becoming public property. But it doesn’t make her less able to be a cooking authority and doesn’t, by the same token, change my relationship to an art form I am passionate about and rigorous about covering. I will continue to write, tweet, broadcast and publish with my usual passion and integrity for other outlets including, of course, The Stage.

Openly gay filmmaker Lee Daniels recently discussed his belief that gay men in the black community just "can't come out." The "Butler" director sat down with Larry King for an interview on "Larry King Now" and discussed when he first knew he was gay. He was just 5 years old when he knew "something wasn't right" after walking downstairs during his dad's poker game wearing his moms red pumps. His father, he said, beat him severely for the act. Daniels went on to discuss homophobia in the black community overall. "I think that [gays] are prejudiced upon even by the African-Americans, too," Daniels explained. He provided an anecdote about when he went to the Gay Men's Health Crisis center in New York City while doing research for his 2009 movie "Precious." He said he was shocked to see all black woman at the center: They [the center] service black women with AIDS. Why? Because black men can't come out. Why? Because simply you can't do it. Your family says it, your church says it, your teachers say it, your parents say it, your friends say it, your work says it. So you're living on this 'DL' thing and you're infecting black women. So it's killing us. I think that because the black culture and the Hispanic culture have a thing about this. Daniels, a Philadelphia native, has discussed being a gay black man before. In an interview with The Huffington Post last year, he said that gay people are "third-class citizens." "We are nothing to many people, especially in the African-American community," he said. "We are told, especially as black men, that we have to live up to certain expectations. The churches say it's not good. Our neighbors say it's not good. Our friends and family say it's not good. I am living in my truth, and I demand that in cinema, too." Daniels' honesty has led to people like BET's Keith Boykin commending him for breaking down barriers and challenging "the persistent meme of our community's homophobia."
Lee Daniels, Gay 'Butler' Director, Says 'Black Men Can't Come Out'
Paltrow wins her battle with Vanity Fair after magazine reportedly ditches 'epic take-down' piece on the Oscar winning actress for 'softer' feature She’s been raging a one woman war against Vanity Fair magazine for weeks but according to new reports Gwyneth Paltrow has triumphed over the publication. The 41-year-old has been locked in a battle with Graydon Carter’s magazine since it revealed its intention to publish an 'epic takedown' of the actress following her refusal to cooperate with a planned cover story. Now, after urging her A-list friends to boycott the magazine, insiders suggest Vanity Fair are now planning a much ‘softer’ piece on the Oscar winner. Gwyneth has been staging something of a celebrity coup against the publication, with the actress composing a letter to her celebrity friends back in May urging them to boycott the magazine. As well as taking offence to the planned expose on herself, the actress was said to be angered by 'unflattering' articles the magazine printed about Tom Cruise and her ex-fiancé Brad Pitt. 'Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine,' she wrote in her letter. 'If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again.' It sounds like the campaign may have paid off as RadarOnline.com report that the famous magazine is planning to go lightly in their future article: ‘Whatever they wind up publishing, it’s going to be soft,’ a source claims. ‘Gwyneth’s campaign against the Vanity Fair article has apparently worked and she’s not as worried as she was three weeks ago’. ‘But the article is still coming out and she still refuses to participate in it.’ The threatened expose reportedly originally included a probe on the Seven actress’ friendship with Elle Macpherson’s billionaire husband Jeff Soffer. Gwyneth, who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, was forced to deny any 'romantic relationship' with the property developer – following claims Vanity Fair has explosive details on the pair. According to Page Six, the magazine was planning to delve into their friendship after the two were spotted looking close at a Miami party in 2008. The actress was also forced to deny that she asked her A-list pals to boycott Vanity Fair’s annual Oscars party next year in response to their ‘take-down’ piece, with a report from Radar claiming that , ‘she wants to shut their Oscar party down entirely.' However the actress has vehemently denied the claims, with her representative telling Mail Online last month the allegations are 'completely false, Gwyneth has not asked anyone to not attend the party,' the 41-year-old's rep said.

[bold]Three simple numbers that add up to global catastrophe - and that make clear who the real enemy is[/bold] If the pictures of those towering wildfires in Colorado haven't convinced you, or the size of your AC bill this summer, here are some hard numbers about climate change: June broke or tied 3,215 high-temperature records across the United States. That followed the warmest May on record for the Northern Hemisphere – the 327th consecutive month in which the temperature of the entire globe exceeded the 20th-century average, the odds of which occurring by simple chance were 3.7 x 10-99, a number considerably larger than the number of stars in the universe. Meteorologists reported that this spring was the warmest ever recorded for our nation – in fact, it crushed the old record by so much that it represented the "largest temperature departure from average of any season on record." The same week, Saudi authorities reported that it had rained in Mecca despite a temperature of 109 degrees, the hottest downpour in the planet's history. Not that our leaders seemed to notice. Last month the world's nations, meeting in Rio for the 20th-anniversary reprise of a massive 1992 environmental summit, accomplished nothing. Unlike George H.W. Bush, who flew in for the first conclave, Barack Obama didn't even attend. It was "a ghost of the glad, confident meeting 20 years ago," the British journalist George Monbiot wrote; no one paid it much attention, footsteps echoing through the halls "once thronged by multitudes." Since I wrote one of the first books for a general audience about global warming way back in 1989, and since I've spent the intervening decades working ineffectively to slow that warming, I can say with some confidence that we're losing the fight, badly and quickly – losing it because, most of all, we remain in denial about the peril that human civilization is in. When we think about global warming at all, the arguments tend to be ideological, theological and economic. But to grasp the seriousness of our predicament, you just need to do a little math. For the past year, an easy and powerful bit of arithmetical analysis first published by financial analysts in the U.K. has been making the rounds of environmental conferences and journals, but it hasn't yet broken through to the larger public. This analysis upends most of the conventional political thinking about climate change. And it allows us to understand our precarious – our almost-but-not-quite-finally hopeless – position with three simple numbers. (please see the link for the three numbers, and a discussion of each one... it's interesting, informative, and sobering)

David Sedaris was one of six siblings, but in May this year that number became five when his youngest sister, Tiffany, committed suicide, shortly before her 50th birthday. Now, for the first time, the author and broadcaster has opened up about her death, her life and his feelings for her. He admits that he didn’t really know her very well – and so some of the things he discovered once she’d passed away gave him a shock. Firstly, there was the will – which stipulated that the family was not allowed to have her body or go to her memorial service, he wrote in The New Yorker. Tiffany’s house, in Somerville, Massachusetts, contained very few belongings – a mattress on the floor and two boxes’ worth of possessions. These were collected by David's actress sister, Amy. And in them were family photos that had been ripped to shreds. He wrote: ‘It seemed such a melodramatic gesture, like throwing a glass against a wall. Something someone in a movie would do.’ The family also discovered that she’d been a regular drug user, when she was young, at least. A classmate had drawn a marijuana leaf beside her name in an old school year book. And someone had written: ‘Call me sometime this summer and we’ll go out and get blitzed.’ Also in the house were ‘comment cards from a neighborhood grocery store, notebooks, receipts, a paper plate on a dresser that had several drawers missing, a phone number written on a wall, and a collection of mop handles, each one a different color, arranged like cattails in a barrel painted green’. A survey of Tiffany’s house revealed nothing about why she might have taken her own life, he said. The Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls author describes how looking at Tiffany’s possessions was fascinating, because of how little he knew her. The 56-year-old said: ‘Each of us had pulled away from the family at some point in our lives - we’d had to in order to forge our own identities, to go from being a Sedaris to being our own specific Sedaris. Tiffany, though, stayed away.’ Tiffany’s death was something that just didn’t add up for David. He added: ‘How could anyone purposefully leave us, us, of all people? Ours is the only club I’d ever wanted to be a member of, so I couldn’t imagine quitting.’
I really don't care for them. I get why people want them, it works for them. I'll concede that newborns are cute in a novelty sort of way because they are so tiny. But otherwise, in my case, I rarely find them cute or want to praise them. I fake it in public, because I guess we are supposed to. I don't wish them harm, I just prefer to not be around them, but it's out of my control sometimes. So I have to fake it and their parents probably think I like kids, but I really don't.
I've been watching Long Island Medium (sue me)...I was surprised to see the Long Island that is depicted on this show. A giant, Italian Roman Catholics middle class suburb. Very middle class. I thought Long Island was a bit more high end, with the Hamptons and whatnot. Is this what LI is like, by and large?

Last night during NBC’s three-hour The Sound of Music live telecast (that really happened, right? we watched the entire thing, and we’re still not sure) two of our best pals showed up during one of the commercial breaks: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler! The spot featured the two women—who will host this January’s Golden Globe Awards—both sporting dark blazers and great hair, hanging in some kind of futuristic jazz bar. Amy’s at the piano; Tina’s standing by her side—just how they’re situated when they hang out on Saturday evenings in real life, we’re sure. They act out a bit related to practicing their “opening song”; it’s the sort of riff one images they devised together a few minutes before the camera rolled. It’s perfectly great. We’re excited for Tina and Amy to host again (we are humans living on earth, after all), but, given this will be their second year hosting, we have a few requests based on how things went the last time around. 1) More Airtime! So this decision probably has less to do with Tina and Amy and more to do with Mr. Golden Globes Producer Guy (“Please, call me Golden”), but last year, after all the buildup about our best friends hosting, they were semi-sidelined after their opening monologue. We understand that the Golden Globes is an overstuffed show featuring basically all the celebrities in the world, but when you have Tina and Amy, use them! Heck, we’d be cool with them just presenting every award. 2) More Interplay With Other Famous People! One of the most fun parts of last year’s proceedings was seeing Tina and Amy mix it up in the audience. (These 11 seconds were basically the highlight of the night.) More of that, please! We’d love to see a Tina-Clooney Gravity spoof, maybe Tina and Amy grilling Jon Hamm about the final season of Mad Men. Honestly, Amy and Jennifer Lawrence reciting the alphabet to each other would be more delightful than 99 percent of awards-show content over the last five years. 3) Give Amy a Golden Globe! This has nothing to do with hosting, but Amy Poehler has yet to win a Golden Globe or Emmy for her role as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation and that is insane (she’s been nominated for the former twice and the latter four times). Get it together!

They''re such a hot mess, they give me a good laugh. I''m in the library, and this one specimen, thugged out beyond redemption with his TIMs and the vomit-yellow hoodies they all seem to be fond of this season, approaches this one girl he knows and is just so flaming my computer screen nearly caught on fire. I mean, really, you can thug yourself out, but who do you think you''re kidding.

Men who self-identify as gay, whether they are telling other people or not.\ \ I didn''t really want to include men who are in full denial and have never really self-identified as gay, but it''s probably too fine of a line not to include them. I know that sounds crazy, but I was trying to gauge the percentage of men, in their minds, self-identify as gay who then either come out or stay closeted.\ \ Also, fully closeted vs. partially closeted. \ \ Partially closeted meaning they have important people in their lives who know, many have existing gay relationships, go out to gay clubs, have gay friends, but other important people (certain relatives, work colleagues, certain friends/acquaintances don''t know, at least not via the person). I''m not including random people, such as if the cashier at the grocery store doesn''t know. \ \ I''d say 35 percent fully closeted, 55% partially closeted, 20% fully out.
Henry was just 21. This was for "Superman Flyby" to be directed by McG. This was the version that they refused to hire Matt Bomer for, because he was "too gay." Henry was deemed "just gay enough."

THE MALEBOLGE, NETHER REGIONS OF DARKNESS—Noting the incredible rate at which the community has grown, sources confirmed Thursday that Hell, the Endless Kingdom of Misery, is now a booming haven of gay culture. The Great Abyss, home of the damned, is reportedly inhabited by some 600 million condemned homosexual or transgender souls, a large proportion of its total population, and has by many accounts blossomed into an oasis of gay activism and community events. “I’ve only been here for a few months, but I’ve already fallen in love with it,” said 49-year-old Daniel Edelson, adding that he has already befriended hundreds of fellow gay men and women in the accursed underworld, all of whom have welcomed him with open arms. “The streets of fire and brimstone are full of so many great cafés, restaurants, bakeries, independent bookstores, and of course plenty of gay bars and clubs. There’s just so much to do.” “My favorite place is this wonderful little promenade along the River Styx, where couples always take walks together on the weekends,” continued Edelson. “I’d say this is easily the most LGBT-friendly place I’ve ever lived.” According to sources, the deepest bowels of Hell have over the past several millennia developed a thriving gay community that is said to rival the likes of the New York City neighborhood of Chelsea, San Francisco’s Castro District, Soho in London, and the Boystown section of Chicago. Along with its wide variety of gay-friendly businesses, the Underworld is also home to The 666, a sprawling, five-story gay nightclub that is reportedly the largest such establishment ever built. Reports confirmed The 666 is one of the most popular destinations in the Nine Circles, offering drag shows, multiple dance floors, six-headed go-go dancers, and live music. “It’s just nice to finally live in a place where I don’t feel like an outcast or an outsider,” said Vanessa Aldridge, 38, stressing that she has faced absolutely no discrimination since she, like all homosexuals and gay sympathizers, was sentenced to an eternity in Lucifer’s Den immediately upon her death. “There’s no stigma attached to openly being who I am here. Everyone is respected and free to live the way they want to live.” “It’s really refreshing, frankly, to live in a place where nobody gives me any weird looks when I walk hand-in-hand with my girlfriend,” Aldridge continued. “And all of the other eternally damned homosexuals down here feel the same. I thank Satan every day for welcoming me here.” Hell has been widely celebrated by gay rights leaders for its far-reaching acceptance of alternative lifestyles, and residents told reporters it is incredibly common to see a rainbow flag hanging over various shop awnings, in car windows, or atop thrones of blood-soaked bones and rotting flesh. Additionally, the Inferno’s Gay Pride Parade, held every July in the Second Circle, is noted for its extravagance and high attendance rate. Reports confirmed that, with thousands more homosexual souls flooding the Gates of Hell every day, the Chasm of Wickedness and Sin has truly become a sanctuary for gays and lesbians alike, a feeling proudly shared by a majority of heterosexual locals. “The gay community has really flourished here, and I have to say, they’ve been great for the place,” said Nephirem the Malevolent, a 10,000-year-old, 70-foot-tall minotaur who has resided in hell since rising from the ashes of a smokeless flame. “At the end of the day, they’re just like anyone else. Everyone has the right to express their love for whomever they want. They don’t bother me in the slightest, and if anything, we in the Dark Lord’s Army encourage any and all public displays of affection between same-sex couples.” “I think it’s great that they’ve carved out such a strong community for themselves here,” added the horned beast of ceaseless death and destruction. “I’m all for it.” In stark contrast to Hell’s ongoing embrace of persecuted groups, sources confirmed that Heaven remains the most bigoted and intolerant place in the universe.

Paul Walker and his friend were murdered shortly after they discovered a conspiracy to supply victims of Typhon Haiyan with a prototype permanent birth control drug hidden in medicinal supplies and food aid. They had a damning recording and they were on their way to rendezvous with an ally who would have helped them get in touch with the right people. Turns out they were betrayed and someone rigged their car’s breaks to malfunction after a certain speed. Now that the loose end has been tied up, and the recording destroyed, the people responsible have nothing to fear as this will become another “conspiracy theory” no one will take seriously. “Now here is another thread with a conspiracy on a possible motive here. Apparently, Paul Walker had discovered dirty money in the Philippines disaster relief and that would make sense because he owned a company that specialized in rapid disaster relief. “ Did Walker dig to deep into corruption or was it an Illuminati Death? Then we have the massive damage to the car, the two videos below show the same car Paul Walker was killed in that had also been involved in an ultra high speed crash with fatalities and then the video of the aerial view of Walker’s car after the fatal crash.

In a radio interview on Wednesday with conservative talker Laura Ingraham, Palin took dead aim at Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" initiative, which is all about getting children to "Just Say No". Here is a portion of the transcript: "Take her anti-drug thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families to deal with drug use." "And I know I'm going to be again criticized for bringing this up, but instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back and allow us as individuals to exercise our own God-given rights to make our own decisions and then our country gets back on the right track."
I found out this morning that I'm on paid leave from my job for at least four weeks, tho it could be as long as eight weeks. I also got my X-mas bonus early. I haven't been on a vacation since I moved here (Incline Village, NV) 4 years ago so I'm thinking of taking my boyfriend on a vacation. He has some inner ear thing going on so he can't fly, which leaves driving. I don't want to be on vacation for the whole time, but I'm thinking maybe taking a couple week long trips. I'd rather not go anywhere that's too cold, the temperature here has been below freezing for awhile and I'm tired of winter. We like museums, especially art museums. We kinda like doing the touristy type of things. We're not exactly foodies but we like trying new foods and have really liked several food tours we've gone on in the past. We like architecture and walking tours. We like guided tours especially the type where you can get on and off at different stops. We like shopping (Incline Village is beautiful but it doesn't have shit for shopping). Any ideas where we should go?

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) accused President Barack Obama of rewriting the Constitution during a Tuesday appearance on Fox News. Bachmann's accusation came amid criticism of the Affordable Care Act, which she's slammed in the past. “He has rewritten the Constitution for himself as a part of his effort to fundamentally transform the United States of America,” Bachmann said Tuesday. Bachmann called the recently announced delay of online enrollment for small businesses "political management." “What are these delays about, what do they have in common? They all put off the very negative effects of Obamacare until the next election. That’s what this is all about," Bachmann said. "This is all political management. But we believe the constitution has to be respected." Bachmann has considered taking action against Obamacare before, saying in November that she and several of her GOP colleagues in the House of Representatives were considering suing Obama for allowing plans canceled under the Affordable Care Act to be extended through 2014.

I'm trying to decide whether I want to live here long term. What do most regular, middle class people do to retire? Am I destined to pay rent until I'm 80? I make $100K/yr and have about $100K in savings (not including retirement) which isn't enough for a house. I'm single and I do want to focus on meeting someone but I doubt I can find a sugar daddy at my age. Should I just move?

Last month for retailers, it was all about post-Turkey spending sprees. In December, at least one retailer is upping the ante by offering an all-night, last minute shopping marathons. Macy's announced Thursday that it would open all of its stores for 48-hours straight, giving last-minute shoppers wiggle room to buy gifts the weekend before Christmas. The extended hours for the New York-based retailer will begin at 7 a.m. on Friday, December 21 and run through 7 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 23. At 23 additional locations including Woodfield Mall and Oakbrook Center, Macy's will re-open at 8 a.m on Sunday, Dec. 23 and remain open through the close of business on Christmas Eve. And at 34 locations in California, Nevada and New Jersey, Macy's stores will stay open through 2 a.m. on Monday, December 24. Macy's experimented with the 48-hour retail marathon in certain test markets last year and found that enough consumers took advantage of the extended hours to warrant rolling out the program to their entire fleet this holiday season, according to spokeswoman Lauren Rapisand. Many of the shoppers were parents who used the late night hours to shop without children and people who worked late shifts who could get their shopping done during their breaks, according to Rapisand. "We found there were a lot of folks who appreciated the extended hours," she said. "The response was so good in test markets last year that we decided it would be a benefit to all of our stores."

A black community college instructor in Minneapolis claims she was formally reprimanded over a discussion on racism in one of her classes. Shannon Gibney, an English faculty member at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, told MCTC student newspaper City College News in a video interview that three white students filed a complaint against her with the school after a discussion on structural racism in one of her communications classes. In the interview, which was posted by the college newspaper to YouTube, Gibney says a white student interrupted her lesson to ask "Why do we have to talk about this in every class?" Another white male in the class then chimed in, Gibney told the student paper, saying he didn't understand either. "It's like people are trying to say that white men are always the villains, the bad guys. Why do we have to say this?" the student asked, according to Gibney. Gibney said that when she told the students that they could file a complaint with the college's legal affairs department if they were so unhappy with the discussion, they took her up on her offer. That led to an official reprimand from the school in early November, she claims. Gibney told The Huffington Post she could not comment further because the case is in appeal. MCTC would not confirm that Gibney had been reprimanded after a student complaint, citing privacy laws. The school did, however, deny reprimanding her for leading a discussion on structural racism. "The college has taken no steps to prohibit faculty members from teaching about racism, including structural racism," college spokeswoman Dawn Skelly told HuffPost. "MCTC has never disciplined a faculty member for teaching or discussing structural racism. Conversations about race, class and power are important and regular parts of many classes at MCTC and have been for years." City College News reported that after Gibney spoke with the student newspaper, she was told she risks further punishment for violating the unnamed white male students' privacy. MCTC noted in a statement that nearly one in four of the school's employees are minorities, and that "of the eight new full-time faculty hires the college made for fall 2012, six are people of color." More than half of the 13,874 students enrolled at MCTC in fall 2013 are persons of color, according to the college. The story was first reported last month by City College News, but was picked up by outlets like the Raw Story and Salon on Monday. Gibney is not filing a lawsuit against the school, but is submitting a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging workplace discrimination at MCTC, Minnesota Public Radio reported.

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.

Accepting Bisexuality: Attraction Across Gender Lines [EXPERT] The importance of bisexual destigmatization in the United States. Bisexuality is the new gay. By this I mean that since homosexuality is becoming increasingly acceptable in the United States, the proverbial torch has been passed to bisexuals and their allies. Now their cause needs championing because bisexuality remains stigmatized, stereotyped and discriminated against. Soon the term "biphobia" will become as commonly known as homophobia. Within the homosexual community, bisexuals have historically been seen as confused or not strong enough to claim their homosexuality. Playing both sides of the fence was seen as a cop-out and a good reason for gays to avoid association with bisexuals. Bisexual men and women were made to feel like they didn't belong in either the straight or gay camp, but things are changing. The Kinsey Scale, which was developed in 1948, was revolutionary in that it stated that many people do not fit into a homosexual box or a heterosexual box. Many of us are somewhere in-between, and people's "thoughts and feelings towards the same or opposite sex was not always consistent across time." For the first time, men who could love men or women could look at research that helped explain their existence. The research was important in helping bisexuals understand they were not wrong or abhorrent; they are simply at different places on the human sexuality scale. Many bisexual men never dared to explore both sides of their sexuality and chose to take the more accepted route of marrying a woman and starting a family. For some married bisexual men, it can be difficult to discover a same-sex attraction and ignore it. There are men in every state who make love to their wives and also have a male lover on the side. It's easy to assume the man in this example is really gay and is not able or ready to accept it but that may be far from the truth. If he is in fact a bisexual, he may be perfectly happy to have both men and women in his sexual life. The problem, of course, is it is probably not okay with his wife.
Get it, girl!
Many LGBT people are rejected by the evangelical church charity because they're "sexually impure."

Every year around the start of December, Fox News ramps up their “War on Christmas” coverage. It’s when they completely make up this notion that there’s some evil entity out there that’s slowly working its way through out society to kill Christmas. It’s completely absurd. For the last damn time, there is no war on Christmas. Are there people who make a big deal out of people saying, “Merry Christmas!” during the holidays? Yes, and those people suck. But that doesn’t mean there’s a war on Christmas. There’s always going to be groups of people who are “offended” by something and they’re often the ones who make the headlines. But that doesn’t mean they represent the majority — not even close. Preserving a separation of church and state during the holidays does not equate to an attack on Christmas. I’m a Christian, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I absolutely love this time of year. The colder weather, people are generally in better moods, the movies, the music, the atmosphere — I actually really enjoy all of it. Now, if someone says, “Happy holidays” to me, I don’t get offended — I just say it back. Generally if someone initiates a greeting, I just repeat whatever they say. I don’t reply with some sarcastic, “Merry Christmas!” when someone says something other than that to me. If someone says, “Happy Hanukkah,” I say that back as well. You know why? Because I’m not an immature prick. Honestly, if you want to talk about a “war on Christmas,” look no further than conservatives. It’s their warped view of Christianity, their insistence on shoving their religious views down everyone’s throats and their overall ignorance that’s driven so many people away from celebrating anything Christ-like with Christmas. This yearly event by Fox News is nothing more than a ratings ploy because it sells great to those who are too ignorant to think for themselves. They find a few obscure stories about someone who’s anti-Christmas making a big deal about something Christmas related, blast them on their airwaves relentlessly, then try to make it appear as if Christmas is being attacked everywhere. Here’s an idea: If Republicans would stop acting like such pricks in the “name of Christianity,” maybe so many people wouldn’t oppose anything that might be Christian related? Hmm, just a thought. But this fake “war” has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with money. Like I said, it’s just a tool used by Fox News to get people hostile and angry because that’s what sells. The truth is, there is no “war on Christmas.” There never was.

State officials reported Wednesday more than 7,000 same-sex couples got married between December 6, 2012, and the most recent complete month of data, September 2013. So far, most of the state's same sex marriages, 62 percent, were between two women. The top five counties where same sex marriages took place are King, Clark, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston counties. Garfield County is the only county where no same sex marriages were performed. Washington's gay marriage law is also driving tourism. About a quarter of the gay couples who got married this past year in Washington were from another state. The biggest number came from Oregon.

I had a date with a guy who told me his first experience was with his uncle- who is also gay. When I said that it sounded like incest to me, he became defensive. On gay.com there use to be a chat room devoted to the subject. How many gays are victims of incest, but don''t think of it is incest because in the end they turned out to be gay?

How many senior citizens do you think will just curl up and die? My mother just called because she has to go to church tonight and is going to miss Wheel! Can I please watch and see if they pick her Spin ID? Her whole neighborhood gathers and watches Wheel of Fortune with their little scraps of paper and pencils and they excitedly await the announcement of the Spin ID every night. And they all call it "Wheel," instead of the full name, as if they are cool kids.

They've been letting her bark all night next door and she would pace outside by my bedroom window. I tried earphones and earplugs but it was a shrieking kind of sound, with howling. She was young, part retriever. I guess they were trying to get her to grow up. They're horrible people and I couldn't talk to them. No one else would do anything. People here aren't like that. Eventually someone just would have given her antifreeze of something. So I started tossing raw meatballs over the fence with a tiny amount of my Xanax and Diazepam in them, one each night around 10. It worked fine. But I guess there was a build up of something because Tuesday morning I heard screaming and they had found the dog dead with froth all over its face. The woman came to my door and asked if I had seen anything and then as much as asked if I did something. I said no of course not, I loved Shelly. (I would give her treats and even walked her when she was a puppy a few times before the people got weird) Now she's going all over accusing people. She says they're getting two pit bulls and if anything happens she's going to start civil war. Now I don't know what to do. Should I just go and tell her the truth? It was an accident. I could say I was trying to soothe the dog and it was a terrible mistake. If she gets pit bull they'll be barking all the time and I'll have to move, and I can't afford more rent. I'm afraid they'll hurt my cats, which Shelly never did. I have an understanding with my landlord and I'm worried. Can I be arrested if I confess? All I wanted was some sleep. I know how this sounds, but any ideas will be helpful. Has this ever happened to you?

All this brain injury talk makes me not want my son to be involved in that horseshit. What's the best way to insure he's not interested in sports. The difficulty is that several family members are football crazy (we're in the south) and people are already saying "Wow, he's going to be a linebacker" he's a boy, big for his age, and did I mention we're in the south?
I kind of experienced this this morning. I'm pretty attracted to the new-ish security guard in my company's lobby. He's really cute and I can tell he works out. We chat from time to time, and I am definitely flirty with him, which I can't imagine is lost on him. I know this sounds totally cliche and somewhat MARY, but when we're talking it's like time stands still and we're the only two people in the world. I get totally lost in his gorgeous smile and hearty laugh, and don't even hear the words coming out of his mouth. In my dreams, the attraction has been two-way, though I know intellectually that's not the case. But it's sure been nice to think about. Anyway, this afternoon as I came back from grabbing some lunch, I was going to stop and chat with him briefly. When I entered the lobby, however, I saw him talking to some chick who works on the floor above me. She's your typical stupid, slutty admin type...you know the sort...dumb as a box of hair, always advertising her looks with exposed cleavage and short skirts, and those stupid 10-inch hooker heels. She was totally flirting with him, throwing her tits and pussy in his face, and he was just totally eating it up. I awkwardly said hi to him, but he didn't even acknowledge me. Didn't even toss me a glace, he was so caught up in her. Again, I know he's 99% straight and into pussy, but there was that part of me that hoped that 1% would come out and want to have sex with me. It was just totally soul crushing, and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm really hurt, though I know I shouldn't be. ugh, why am I always attracted to the straight ones, and why does it hurt so much when my fantasies are deflated and reality hits like a ton of bricks? ugh, just ugh.
The ones I meet are into sports and hanging out in sports bars with their straight buddies. This one at work like to frequent cigar clubs. When I was young, we kept to ourselves and wouldn't dream of participating in these heteronormative activities. One of the great things about being gay is that we could create and celebrate our own culture that was nothing like "theirs." Ever try and have a conversation with a 20-something gay guy about "Mildred Pierce" or "Johnny Guitar"? They have no idea who Joan Crawford is. My goodness, she is an icon, part of our heritage, and they've never heard of her!! That's just one example, but there are many others as well. I don't care about fantasy football, and I find it sad, almost a betrayal, that young guys rather talk about their football league than, say, Roz Russell. Just venting.

Was in the late 2000s? Early 2000s? They're definitely still here huge numbers. You can see them in every thread about any television show. It isn't the gay men or lesbians who get violent and bitchy, it's the TWoP crowd who uses this as their second home because I think so many of them have been run off from there. When and why did they become such a majority here?
Why is that? As an example, if a young gay man posted on here that he was contemplating suicide, more than half of the responses would be along the lines of "Couldn't you have done it BEFORE you wasted your $18?". I know. I've seen it. Bigotry is met with intense disdain, but mainly as an opportunity for more vocal attitude. No action. Gay culture is all about the "me". There is little unity. It's about protecting yourself, and alienation other gay men. I'm 29 years old, attractive, partnered and gay and I just can't motivate myself to go to gay bars. It's not fun. Why is it that a lot (not all) gay men have an inability to see beyond their own opinions and beliefs? Anything they have not experienced or don't like, they "hate" and anyone who doesn't hate it is "an idiot" or "should die in a fire". It's frustrating being open and proud about your sexuality, but feeling so alienated from the culture itself.
A few college dorms (not many) and most YMCA's and prisons I assume. Much of the military. Oh...and sometimes Bally's clubs. Any other places? Back before they knew we were gay most all men's spaces had gang showers.
I feel like showering after seeing this. What is going on here?
I'm 50 years old, and pretty alarmed at how many young guys I know who have sero-converted. Condom use has not caught on with the guys who weren't around to experience the big 1983-1996 AIDS die off. I'm figuring that the population who may benefit from a drug like this may often be in less than perfect health to start with, and if one can't use a damned condom, how likely is one to faithfully stay on a drug regimen? What might be the long-term effects? I was initially horrified to think anyone would take a potent HIV drug while perfectly healthy, and risk the side effects (and feeding into Big Pharma's profit scheme), just so they can continue barebacking.....but what if that's just my prejudice? What if ultimately it saves lives?

Fit for a queen! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning their very own royal wedding of sorts. The famously over-the-top couple have set their sights on France's famed Palace of Versailles for their much-anticipated nuptials, the new issue of Us Weekly reveals. PHOTOS: Kimye's sweetest moments "Kanye has never been married and wants a big [wedding]," a source tells Us of the "Bound 2" rapper, 36, who has a 6-month-old daughter, North, with his fiancee. Adds another insider: "They are not working with a budget." Indeed, West seems to live by the motto "Go big or go home." When he proposed to Kardashian, 33, in October, he hired a 50-piece orchestra and rented out San Francisco's AT&T Park, which lit up with the words "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEEE!!!" on a giant screen. See more cute pics of Kimye.

I keep seeing articles about how proud AJ is that Shiloh wants to be a boy, how often this kid is photographed and the fights AJ is having with Brad's mother about her androgyny. It's like she is trumpeting how liberal (and between the lines gay-friendly) she is. Isn't it terribly unseemly for her to pushing a sexual identity onto a child for publicity? Along the same lines, there are a lot of stories about this woman having sexual relationships as a young teen under her mother's roof, fucking her mom's lover, etc. Apologies if this has been discussed. I don't read these sites often.
I've been a fan for years. I always thought he was a really handsome guy who never managed to break through to the A List. But now: Wow! The vultures have descended. He is now the most handsome, blue-eyed, undervalued actor in Hollywood. HELLOOO!? When he was alive, no one would have said this. The world is so fucked up now. There seems to be this "death cult" mindset that everyone has. That actors aren't celebrated until they've died. It's really messed up. What is wrong with the world? I never thought he was the best actor in the world. But he was really handsome, and certainly a better actor than Vic and The Rock.

The Von Trapps found out last spring that "The Sound of Music," the movie based on their real-life family that fled Austria to escape the Nazis during World War II, was being remade after almost 50 years into a live television event. Myles von Trapp Derbyshire is the great grandson of Maria von Trapp, the matriarch of the family, who was played by Oscar-winner Julie Andrews in the 1965 film. Even though Von Trapp Derbyshire told ABC News he doesn't understand why anyone would try to remake this classic film, his biggest problem is the casting of Grammy-winner Carrie Underwood for tonight's NBC special. "It's just upsetting that this could potentially be the final broadcast of our story," he said. "And although her voice is amazing, she doesn't have acting experience…. It's just the overall image, she's a country star, she won 'American Idol,' she's very public in kind of a tabloid way." The 28-year-old New Yorker is very proud of his family's legacy and said, "Now we have this very glossy, tabloid figure playing this role." He explained that Andrews and also Mary Martin, who originally played Maria von Trapp on Broadway in the 1950s, were both well-respected actresses. "[Our family has] had the conversations of who could play this role better and it was Anne Hathaway, for example," he said. "Here's someone who just won an Oscar for a similar situation [in Les Miserables]. She was able to act and sing." Myles's aunt Francoise von Trapp even went as far as to blog, "Carrie Underwood as Maria? Seriously?" when she heard of the casting for tonight's remake. Underwood, 30, recently told Entertainment Weekly that fans have gone as far as to send her hate tweets for taking on the role. She added that the acting part is her biggest apprehension of the live musical. "I think so many people out there still don't understand what we're doing and, therefore, they do have this incredible ownership over the movie, like 'You can't remake that movie!' I get hate tweets and stuff like that and like, 'You're not Julie Andrews!'" she told EW. "I know I'm not - nobody is, and I would never pretend that I was. I know my place, you know?" A request for comment from Underwood wasn't immediately returned to ABC News. To be fair, Myles admits no one should be sending Underwood nasty messages over this. "I did feel badly that she's been getting a lot of mean tweets from fans of the movie," he said. As to whether he'll watch the show tonight, Von Trapp Derbyshire is on the fence. The original idea was to boycott the broadcast, but he said after speaking with his mother, who is trying to be positive about the situation, she might have convinced him to watch. "We need to be educated," he said. "We can't walk in Friday morning to work or into a conversation without knowing what happened."

I have to update my slam book.
Before the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, President Obama promised Americans they could keep their healthcare plan if they liked it. But already hundreds of thousands of citizens are receiving notification that their plans are being cancelled because they don't comply with the new law, and, according to NBC News, the Obama administration has known for at least three years the cancellations were coming. While campaigning for health care reform in 2009, Obama went out of his way to make one thing perfectly clear: if you like your current health care plan, you will be able to keep it. On June 15, 2009, Obama said this: "We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period.” In 2012, he echoed that sentiment, saying, "“If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.” However, many are finding that not to be the case. More than 300,000 cancellation notices have been sent out in Florida, according to Kaiser Health News, and another 180,000 in California. In New Jersey, the number of cancellations tops 800,000, the Star-Ledger reports. According to NBC News, approximately 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million Americans who buy their health insurance individually should expect to receive a cancellation letter over the next year "because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law." This could result in millions of Americans being forced to purchase different policies, potentially at higher premiums. Top 5 Product Launch FailuresPlay video." Top 5 Product Launch Failures So how did the Obama administration know the cancellations would be coming? The Affordable Care Act states that people who had health insurance prior to March 23, 2010 – the day President Obama signed the bill into law – will be able to keep those policies even if they don't meet the requirements of the new law. However, the Department of Health and Human Services tightened that provision, so that "if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date -- the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example -- the policy would not be grandfathered," NBC News reports. Because the market for individual insurance experiences significant turnover, the insinuation is the Obama administration had to have known many policies "grandfathered" in would not qualify for the ACA. NBC News claims that the administration knew in 2010 that "more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them." “This says that when they made the promise [that individuals could keep their plans], they knew half the people in this market outright couldn’t keep what they had and then they wrote the rules so that others couldn’t make it either,” Robert Laszewski of Health Policy and Strategy Associates told NBC News. Monday, former Obama adviser David Axelrod said on MSNBC's Morning Joe that "most people are going to keep their own plan." When asked about Axelrod's admission of "most" as opposed to all, White House spokesman Jay Carney acknowledge that some individual's plans will be cancelled, but countered that the plans they switch to will be better and affordable. "What the president said and what everybody said all along is that there are going to be changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act to create minimum standards of coverage," Carney said. "… So it's true that there are existing health-care plans on the individual market that don't meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act." Actually, what the President said back in 2009 was "[the Affordable Care Act] is for people who aren’t happy with their current plan. If you like what you’re getting, keep it. Nobody is forcing you to shift." Only now, some who like their plans are being forced, including Laszewski. According to NBC News, he has a so-called "Cadillac plan" – "the best
What is going on here? Are insurance companies cancelling coverage to derail Obamacare?
If you ever happen to come across a Republican on television these days, chances are that you will hear the name Ronald Reagan. Recent Republican debates are the perfect example of the love fest that the current Republican party has for Reagan as each candidate name drops the former president at every turn. If you only listened to conservatives you would think that Jesus Christ was the only person above Reagan on the totem pole of conservative love. They talk about his love of low taxes, less government and conservative family values. The problem is that when you step out of the conservative dream and come back to reality, you find that not only was Ronald Reagan a bad president, but he was one of the worst presidents we've seen in modern times. Reagan's policies have destroyed the United States for three decades, and for the eight years he was in office, here are eight reasons why Ronald Reagan was the worst president of our lifetime. 1. Reagan cut taxes for the Rich, increased taxes on the Middle Class - Ronald Reagan is loved by conservatives and was loved by big business throughout his presidency and there's a reason for it. When Reagan came into office in January of 1981, the top tax rate was 70%, but when he left office in 1989 the top tax rate was down to only 28%. As Reagan gave the breaks to all his rich friends, there was a lack of revenue coming into the federal government. In order to bring money back into the government, Reagan was forced to raise taxes eleven times throughout his time in office. One example was when he signed into law the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Reagan raised taxes seven of the eight years he was in office and the tax increases were felt hardest by the lower and middle class. 2. Tripling the National Debt - As Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, the government was left with less money to spend. When Reagan came into office the national debt was $900 billion, by the time he left the national debt had tripled to $2.8 trillion. 3. Iran/Contra - In 1986, a group of Americans were being held hostage by a terrorist group with ties to Iran. In an attempt to free the hostages, Ronald Reagan secretly sold arms and money to Iran. Much of the money that was received from the trade went to fund the Nicaragua Contra rebels who were in a war with the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. When the scandal broke in the Untied States it became the biggest story in the country, Reagan tried to down play what happened, but never fully recovered. 4. Reagan funded Terrorists - The attacks on 9/11 by al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden brought new attention to international terrorism. All of a sudden, Americans coast to coast wore their American flag pins, ate their freedom fries and couldn't wait to go to war with anyone who looked like a Muslim. What Americans didn't realize was that the same group that attacked the United States on 9/11 was funded by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. Prepping for a possible war with the Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan spent billions of dollars funding the Islamist mujahidin Freedom Fighters in Afghanistan. With billions of American dollars, weapons and training coming their way, the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden took everything they were given and gave it back to the United States over a decade later in the worst possible way imaginable. 5. Unemployment issues - When Ronald Reagan came into office 1981, unemployment was at 7.5%. After Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, he began raising taxes on the middle and lower class. Corporations started to ship more jobs out of the United States while hiring cheap foreign labor in order to make a bigger profit. While corporations made billions, Americans across the country lost their jobs. As 1982 came to a close, unemployment was nearly 11%. Unemployment began to drop as the years went on, but the jobs that were created were low paying and barely helped people make ends meet. The middle and lower class had their wages nearly frozen as the top earners saw dramatic increases in salary. 6. Ignoring AIDS - By the time the 1980s came around, AIDS had become one of the most frightening things to happen to the country in recent memory. No one understood what AIDS and HIV really was and when people don't understand something, they become scared of it. The fear of the unknown was sweeping across the country and Americans needed a leader to speak out about this horrible virus, that leader never came. Instead of grabbing the bull by the horns and taking charge, Reagan kept quiet. Reagan couldn't say the words AIDS or HIV until seven years into his presidency, a leader not so much. 7. Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million Undocumented Immigrants - In today's GOP, the idea of any immigrant staying in the United States whether they are legal or illegal isn't something that conservatives embrace. What might shock them is that in 1982 Ronald Reagan gave nearly 3 million undocumented workers amnesty. The biggest reason for undocumented workers coming to the United States is because corporations hire them at a cheaper rate than they would an American citizen. All the laws that would have cracked down on companies who hire undocumented workers were, of course, removed from the bill. 8. His attack on Unions and the Middle Class - The Republican war on unions and the middle class has been heating up in states like Wisconsin and Ohio, but it has been going on for a long time. Unions are formed to give a united voice to the workers in an attempt to create fairness between the corporations and their employees. On August 3rd, 1981, PATCO (Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization) went on strike in an effort to get better pay and safer working conditions. Two days later, taking the side of business, Ronald Reagan fired 11,345 workers for not returning to work.

I know a few bi men who identify as straight. They''re completely comfortable within themselves and acknowledge that they like guys/girls equally, yet if you asked them they''d say they were straight....Is this common amongst bi men?
I'd heard a rumor, then saw him out with his gf. He always claimed to be bi and was a top. He's gained a lot of weight. Do you think bi guys, once they get paunchy and balding/greying in their forties, just think they're better off with a woman?
or is it staged? I'm not sure what the laws are there. I sometimes find it depressing to watch, which can make it unfappable.

I'm one of the people who just tonight began looking at the health insurance programs offered to me in my state under the health insurance exchange program which is part of the very much needed ObamaCare program. I'd like for this thread to be a place where we can all talk about what we need, how we figure out how to get it, and what we should look for in a private health insurance program. I encourage all people with a previously diagnosed illness, HIV+, diabetic and more to participate. We can help each other. I spent only one hour and I found my best plan, it isn't that hard to do. Let's help each other figure this out before November 15. Kisses.

Hey guys, I'm 23 and I'm struggling with how to feel about this situation. I have a friend whom I've known for about a year. We are not romantically involved in any way - I know him through another friend. I've hung out with him at parties, and he's a really nice guy. I find out that a month ago, he got drunk at a party and drove his car on the wrong side of the freeway at 4am, hit a taxi head-on and killed a passenger, and injured two others. He himself had just minor injuries. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I think what he did was completely repulsive and horrendous. That person is dead. But do I support him as a friend? Is what he did unforgivable? How do I support somebody who did something so heinous? Especially when it's at odds with my impressions of him - he is genuinely a nice guy, but he made a terrible decision and has to live with the consequences. Also just fyi, he is extremely successful, he's young around 24, and went to Harvard, Oxford, and was in business school. Have any of you experienced something similar? I feel like I should be supporting him as a friend, but I don't know how when I am so disgusted by what he did. What would you guys do? Thanks in advance.
Found some DVD sets at my library and checked them out. These shows are fake, annoying and never, ever, come to any conclusion. But we are treated to a lot of whispering (why are you whispering?) and quick cuts and sped up footage of clouds. And Zak Bagan may have a nice body but his hair is laughable.
Since the other threads are closed, here's a new one!
I always wonder what the guys I'm around look like naked. I always think that if they're not showing a bulge, they probably hang low.
Get it, son.
Wilde was 40 when he met Bosie, who was 20. Wilde was married with two children, and yet engaged in a torrid affair with Bosie regardless. And yet Wilde is revered as one of the most legendary gay men in history. So: if you believe everything above, why are you attacking DLB with such an unparalleled level of vitriol again? Would it make a difference if DLB was a writer of Wilde's caliber? (I think we can all at least agree there's no comparison on *that* level) Or if Tom was a British aristocrat? Does Wilde "get a pass" because social mores at the time were so much more repressive? What about the fact that Wilde, though wildly witty (pun intended, obviously), was by most rational standards fugly, and Bosie was one of the most infamously hot twinks in modern world history? As a reminder: Wilde and Bosie remained together, despite their 20-year age difference, until Wilde's death, even though Bosie was an unapologetically spoiled little shit who cheated on Wilde constantly. But for some reason so many people here think the DLB/Daley relationship is "doomed." Anyone care to try to explain their logic here?
Well?
She is such a bitch.

Police estimate it was only going 40-45 mph. Although they hit a curve with a posted 15mph limit, a car with that kind of handling capacity should've easily been able to take it at 40. "The Porsche that actor Paul Walker was riding in when he died on Saturday was traveling at approximately 40 to 45 mph when it came to a bend in the road where the speed limit drops to about 15 mph, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told NBC News on Monday. It was in that vicinity where the driver, Roger Rodas, apparently lost control of the vehicle, ending in the fiery solo accident, the source said. Walker, 40, and Rodas, 38, were killed at the scene, police said. Their autopsies were put on hold Monday, as the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office waits for dental X-rays for each man to aid in making the official identifications, said Craig Harvey, chief of the coroner's operations bureau."

Believe it or not, people with this affliction, at their very core, are the inverse of the narcissist. People with BPD start out 'too sensitive', too empathetic. People with borderline personality disorder empathize to the point of pain. When the highly sensitive person grows up in a very non-validating and/or abusive environment, with a history of trauma, BPD can manifest. In order for borderline personality to develop, an invalidating environment with and a highly sensitive person MUST BE present. What is going on in a Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer's mind and how they are acting can be two entirely different things. To the sufferer, BPD is about deep feelings, feelings often too difficult to express, feelings that are something along the lines of this : If others really get to know me, they will find me rejectable and will not be able to love me; and they will leave me; I need to have complete control of my feelings otherwise things go completely wrong; I have to adapt my needs to other people's wishes, otherwise they will leave me or attack me; I am an evil person and I need to be punished for it; Other people are evil and abuse you; If someone fails to keep a promise, that person can no longer be trusted; If I trust someone, I run a great risk of getting hurt or disappointed; If you comply with someone's request, you run the risk of losing yourself; If you refuse someone's request, you run the risk of losing that person; I will always be alone; I can't manage by myself, I need someone I can fall back on; There is no one who really cares about me, who will be available to help me, and whom I can fall back on; I don't really know what I want; I will never get what I want; I'm powerless and vulnerable and I can't protect myself;. I have no control of myself; I can't discipline myself; My feelings and opinions are unfounded; Other people are not willing or helpful. To the family members, BPD behavior is often very frustrating can feel unfair and punitive - something like this: You have been viewed as overly good and then overly bad; You have been the focus of unprovoked anger or hurtful actions, alternating with periods when the family member acts perfectly normal and very loving; Things that you have said or done have been twisted and used against you; You are accused of things you never did or said? You often find yourself defending and justifying your intentions; You find yourself concealing what you think or feel because you are not heard; You feel manipulated, controlled, and sometimes lied to.

Ozzy Osbourne "Disgusted" By Anti-Gay Church Using His Music Today 5:15 PM PDT by Erik Pedersen Ozzy Osbourne sounds ready to bite somebody's head off. The British rock god released a statement saying he was "disgusted" by a Kansas-based church's choice to play his music on the steps of the United States Supreme Court today. "I am sickened and disgusted by the use of 'Crazy Train' to promote messages of hate and evil by a 'church,'" said Ozzy, referring to the iconic song off 1980's Blizzard of Ozz. And lest you think he was peeved about the organist playing Randy Rhoades' riff in the choir loft, read on... The church in question is Westboro Baptist Church, a group known less for its choir than for its noisy, anti-gay protests staged at the funerals of U.S. soldiers, regardless of the fallen's sexual orientation. The small congregation, which chants things like "You're Going to Hell" and other feel-bad sentiments because it somehow associates dead soldiers with homosexuality in general, has garnered more attention now that their activities have turned into a free speech debate. The father of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, whose funeral attracted Westboro protesters, was awarded $5 million after suing the group and its founder Fred Phelps for emotional distress. The church appealed the ruling and the case is now going to be reviewed by the Supreme Court. Which is where two of Phelps' adult daughters quoted Ozzy in song, singing, "You're going straight to hell on your crazy train." They looked pretty pleased with themselves for thinking that one up, too. Maybe something from Ozzy's Diary of a Mad Man would have been more appropriate.

I was a teenager in the early 90s. If you were a teen then too, let's list some memories that make us feel old. When I was a teenager... *Cell phones were still pretty new and called "Car phones." You used them for emergencies and shut them off when done. *I'd call my mom for a ride from school using a pay phone (which cost 10 cents). *There was no Facebook or Twitter or email. I did not spend any time on the Internet -- it cost 2.99 per minute and tied up the phone line. If an incoming call came in, I'd be knocked off. *To record a favorite show, I'd use a VHS tape. Laser discs were the high-tech thing, and Tivo was not around. *Mixed tapes (not even CDs!) were a romantic gift. Sometimes I'd tape my favorite songs off the radio. Man I feel old.

Researchers at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, led by Associate Professor Dr. David Harrich, say they have developed a form of gene therapy that turns the HIV protein against itself and ultimately stops it from replicating, according to the Australian Times. Harrich himself notes that his research is not an HIV cure. "You would still be infected with HIV," he said, according to the Queensland Institute's statement. "But the virus would stay latent, it wouldn't wake up, so it wouldn't develop into AIDS. With a treatment like this, you would maintain a healthy immune system."

Dad was born in the Depression. Pushed hard by his parents. Only child. Went on to Ivy League school but dropped out due to lack of money, ended up finishing at state school. Owned his own businesses, did well, got married, had a couple of kids. All fine. Dad's parents died within a month of one another. He remained close to them their whole life. A year later, dad went on his annual guys' trip and ended up meeting another woman, having an affair. Came clean to my mother and decided it was meant to be - was absolutely convinced - with this other woman. Filed bankruptcy with his business, paid off my mother, left, moved to San Diego with this woman he'd met once. They remained married for several years until she left him. She was an alcoholic and drug addict with major issues. Dad regardless insisted she was his soul mate and had been told this by heavens. Now doesn't speak of it but becomes to other needy women who he insists need saving. He is now dating another drug addicted alcoholic. Dad lives alone in squalor with a small pension. He takes part-time jobs but gets fired for spouting off about his views loudly. He believes in aliens, UFOs, and believes other beings contact him about his fate. These "voices' talk to him and he goes on expeditions to talk to them and find them. No shame in talking about it. He will discuss it with anyone who will listen and show evidence of his diaries documenting these voices. He speaks of it rationally and calmly, with no shame. He has little interest in other people beyond cursory polite chatter. Not sure he knows what I do for work. He is outwardly jovial and caring but not a "dad" -- not the dad I knew. He would prefer to spout about his views or discuss other life forms. He can take care of his basic needs, food, shelter, though he looks shabby and needs new clothes and so on. He is in a relationship with yet another needy woman whom he says he's "counseling." We have a cordial, fine relationship but nothing close due to his self-involvement, lifestyle, and ongoing chatter about alternate beings. I'm not sure what to do. he is getting older. Eventually he'll need care. I am unclear if he's mentally ill or just weird or what. Would like some advice...Thanks.

An alliance of corporations and conservative activists is mobilising to penalise homeowners who install their own solar panels – casting them as “freeriders” – in a sweeping new offensive against renewable energy, the Guardian has learned. Over the coming year, the American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec) will promote legislation with goals ranging from penalising individual homeowners and weakening state clean energy regulations, to blocking the Environmental Protection Agency, which is Barack Obama’s main channel for climate action. Details of Alec’s strategy to block clean energy development at every stage – from the individual rooftop to the White House – are revealed as the group gathers for its policy summit in Washington this week. About 800 state legislators and business leaders are due to attend the three-day event, which begins on Wednesday with appearances by the Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson and the Republican budget guru and fellow Wisconsinite Paul Ryan. Other Alec speakers will be a leading figure behind the recent government shutdown, US senator Ted Cruz of Texas, and the governors of Indiana and Wyoming, Mike Pence and Matt Mead. For 2014, Alec plans to promote a suite of model bills and resolutions aimed at blocking Barack Obama from cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and state governments from promoting the expansion of wind and solar power through regulations known as Renewable Portfolio Standards. Documents obtained by the Guardian show the core elements of its strategy began to take shape at the previous board meeting in Chicago in August, with meetings of its energy, environment and agriculture subcommittees. Further details of Alec’s strategy were provided by John Eick, the legislative analyst for Alec’s energy, environment and agriculture program. Eick told the Guardian the group would be looking closely in the coming year at how individual homeowners with solar panels are compensated for feeding surplus electricity back into the grid. “This is an issue we are going to be exploring,” Eick said. He said Alec wanted to lower the rate electricity companies pay homeowners for direct power generation – and maybe even charge homeowners for feeding power into the grid. “As it stands now, those direct generation customers are essentially freeriders on the system. They are not paying for the infrastructure they are using. In effect, all the other non direct generation customers are being penalised,” he said. Eick dismissed the suggestion that individuals who buy and install home-based solar panels had made such investments. “How are they going to get that electricity from their solar panel to somebody else’s house?” he said. “They should be paying to distribute the surplus electricity.” In November, Arizona became the first state to charge customers for installing solar panels. The fee, which works out to about $5 a month for the average homeowner, was far lower than that sought by the main electricity company, which was seeking to add up to $100 a month to customers’ bills. Gabe Elsner, director of the Energy and Policy Institute, said the attack on small-scale solar was part of the larger Alec project to block clean energy. “They are trying to eliminate pro-solar policies in the states to protect utility industry profits,” he said. The group sponsored at least 77 energy bills in 34 states last year. The measures were aimed at opposing renewable energy standards, pushing through the Keystone XL pipeline project, and barring oversight on fracking, according to an analysis by the Centre for Media and Democracy. Until now, the biggest target in Alec’s sights were state Renewable Portfolio Standards which require electricity companies to source a share of their power from wind, solar, biomass, or other clean energy. Such measures are seen as critical to reducing America’s use of coal and oil, and to the fight against climate change. RPS are now in force in 30 states.

If there was an award for the less Christmas-y Christmas card in the History of the world, I believe that the 2013 Kardashian Christmas card would take the prize. Shot by elite fashion photographer David Lachapelle, the card is a rather grim and depressing summation of the entertainment world – an industry ruled by a shadowy elite that is turning popular culture into a toxic wasteland populated with vacuous celebs such as the Kardashians. The wide panoramic card is filled with symbolism and references describing everything that the Illuminati entertainment industry is about. The shot takes place in an abandoned movie theater, one that appears to destroyed and vandalized. Here’s the card (click to enlarge). card There’s a lot going on there, so let’s look at it from left to right. First, there's Kim Kardashian posing with a revealing outfit. Her curves are pretty much the only reason why her entire family is famous right now. That is maybe one there's a huge dollar sign next to her.

Now that a judge has ordered their release and they're in the hands of entities like the AP the CNN, we're being told they're too "gut wrenching" to listen to them. See, only the media has the backbone and maturity to hear the awfulness and they'll tell US what we should hear. That's been the line all afternoon as ancient Wolf Blitzer drones on about how the calls are too gut wrenching, with some reporter telling us "we have a lot of smart people going over these tapes to decide what's "news worthy" and will decide later.." WTF? Yes, they're awful. I have no personal desire to listen to them, but the media went to the courts, forced their release... they're part of public record so I find it to be the height of hypocrisy that they'll only release short soundbites now that every media and newspaper person has had a chance to satisfy their own personal curiosity. The media truly is more powerful and even more scary than the actual government.

Did San Francisco’s coroner’s office once lead seminars on S&M safety to gay men? According to a 1985 report written by the conservative group American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the answer is yes. The bizarre 12-page investigation, titled Homosexuals: Just Another Minority Group?, was originally discovered by the liberal watchdog group People for the American Way, and makes a number of outrageous and often comical claims about the gay community. In the document, ALEC (not to be confused Mr. Baldwin) details six categories of gay people: “the blatant,” “the secret lifer,” “the desperate,” “the adjusted,” “the bisexual,” and “the situational.” (The “blatant” homosexual “is the obvious ‘limp-wristed’ individual who typifies stereotype of the ‘average’ homosexual.” Meanwhile, the “desperate” homosexual is known for frequenting “public restrooms, massage parlors, and bathhouses in his or her quest for immediate sex.” We consider ourselves a hybrid of those two categories. So maybe that makes us “blatantly desperate”? Or perhaps “desperately blatant”?) The report also states that gay people speak in their own secret language: “The homosexual’s vocabulary is another part of their culture that separates them from the heterosexual mainstream.” Uh-oh, they’re on to us! The document then goes on to describe some of the lingo used by gay people in riveting detail: “For example, ‘cruising’ means to go out looking for sex, a ‘nellie’ is an [childish epithet posted by a bigoted tool] man, a ‘butch’ is a virile one, and a ‘chicken hawk’ is an older homosexual that lusts after young boys.” But the real kicker comes when the report links gay homicides in San Francisco with S&M accidents: “The city coroner of San Francisco conducts workshops for the homosexual community on S&M safety, or ‘how to engage in sado-masochistic sex without permanent damage.’” We can’t help but ask: Why would a city coroner be leading sex workshops? “These workshops,” the report continues, “were formed in response to statistics that report 10 percent of the city’s homicides are a result of S&M accidents among homosexuals.” We’d be interested in seeing those long lost statistics… Almost as much as we’d be interested in attending the coroner’s “how to engage in sado-masochistic sex without permanent damage” safety class.

I live in a three story apartment building. There's an elderly lady on the bottom floor who lives alone. Someone mentioned that she was "high functioning." Her weird sister comes by every once in awhile to take her to the store or doctor. The neighbor seemed like a nice lady. Our apartment manager said something to us about how she's had a terrible life, was made fun of in school and dropped out, yada yada. I have a soft spot for old people and planned to give her a small trinket for the holidays and a card. Fast forward to now, and I've had on occasion the chance to say hi, etc. to her. Again, I felt bad for her because she's old and alone. Yesterday, I was taking the trash out and said hi. On my way back, I asked her what she did for Thanksgiving. In the course of our 10 minute conversation, she proceeded to tell me that her sister and her nephews are abusing her; that her dad was a pentacoastal minister and was abusive; and how everyone is abusing her. She went into detail and I became pretty concerned, as I have worked in elder social services in the past (years ago). She certainly has signs of being developmentally disabled in some aspect. In the course of the convo, she was going on about how she's a woman of god, and that she's a pentacostal and how the church in our town abused her. Anyways, I told her at the end of the convo that if she ever needed anything to get ahold of me. I went home and later told my partner that I was concerned about what she told me, but I didn't know how to proceed based on a lack of any real evidence, and that I really didn't know if I believed her or what. I didn't even want to get involved, truth be told. So today, I went outside to go on a walk, and she came out from nowhere in the parking lot and said she was glad to see me because she wanted to ask "Didn't you tell me that the pentacostal church here is full of abusers?" I said no, I never said that. She said "Oh well I thought you told me that." I said no. She went on again about how they abused her and called her an old lady. I asked her why she thought they did that to her, and she went on a rampage about how the "liberals" in our city are destroying the church. I told her that I'm pretty sure no liberals would be in that type of church. She then accused me of being a liberal and I said I am and she seemed embarrassed. She continued on blabbing about that church and I told her I don't know anything, have a nice day. My partner heard all of this and came to the window and thought the woman was very loud. Anyways...I will bet her sister and her nephews are weirdos and perhaps emotionally abusive, but I really don't want to get involved in this mess. Her response towards my "liberal" life was pretty weird and she's a freaky religious nut. What would you do?
If you are looking for a senior assisted living (maybe more)facility, Aegis Living (deep pockets outfit) just opened (or maybe *opens soon*) a new facility near Santa Rosa California (just north of San Francisco). It's called Fountain Grove and it's pretty posh. And pricey! LGBT only. My mother lived at another Aegis home for several years. The care and service were excellent. Sorry, but that's all the info I have.

Why do they not have drivethrus? There's one near me that is in a building with a tenant on each side of it, so it's not very feasible for them. But I gotta believe they have many other locations where it could work.

A federal judge ruled that the New York City Police Department's controversial stop-and-frisk policy violates individuals' constitutional rights because it intentionally discriminates based on race -- a significant judicial rebuke for what the mayor and police commissioner have defended as a life-saving, crime-fighting tool. Instead of ordering an end to the practice, however, U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin opted to reform it. She did not give many specifics on how that would work but instead named an independent monitor who would develop reforms to policies, training, supervision, monitoring and discipline. She also ordered that officers test out body-worn cameras in the police precinct where most stops occurred. "The city's highest officials have turned a blind eye to the evidence that officers are conducting stops in a racially discriminatory manner," she wrote. "In their zeal to defend a policy that they believe to be effective, they have willfully ignored overwhelming proof that the policy of targeting `the right people' is racially discriminatory." For years, police brass had been warned that officers were violating rights, but they nevertheless maintained and escalated "policies and practices that predictably resulted in even more widespread Fourth Amendment violations," Scheindlin wrote in a lengthy opinion. She also cited violations of the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. "Far too many people in New York City have been deprived of this basic freedom far too often," she said. "The NYPD's practice of making stops that lack individualized reasonable suspicion has been so pervasive and persistent as to become not only a part of the NYPD's standard operating procedure, but a fact of daily life in some New York City neighborhoods." Four men sued the department in 2004, saying they were unfairly targeted because of they were minorities. Scheindlin issued her ruling after a 10-week bench trial, which included testimony from NYPD brass and a dozen people — 11 men and one woman — who said they were wrongly stopped because of their race. She found that nine of the 19 stops discussed at the trial were unconstitutional, and an additional five stops included wrongful frisking. Stop and frisk is a constitutional police tactic, but Scheindlin concluded that the plaintiffs had "readily established that the NYPD implements its policies regarding stop and frisk in a manner that intentionally discriminates based on race." There have been about 5 million stops during the past decade, mostly black and Hispanic men. The judge said she determined at least 200,000 stops were made without reasonable suspicion, the necessary legal benchmark, lower than the standard of probable cause needed to justify an arrest. The class-action lawsuit was the largest and most broad legal action against the policy at the nation's biggest police department, and it may have an effect on how other police departments make street stops, legal experts said. Lawmakers have also sought to create an independent monitor and make it easier for people to sue the department if they feel their civil rights were violated. Those bills are awaiting an override vote after the mayor vetoed the legislation. The court monitor would examine stop and frisk specifically and could compel changes. The inspector general envisioned in the legislation would look at other issues but could only make recommendations. The city had no immediate response to the ruling, but officials planned an early afternoon news conference to discuss it. City lawyers had argued the department does a good job policing itself with an internal affairs bureau, a civilian complaint board and quality assurance divisions. The judge rejected their arguments. "The city and its highest officials believe that blacks and Hispanics should be stopped at the same rate as their proportion of the local criminal suspect population," she wrote. "But this reasoning is flawed because the stopped population is overwhelmingly innocent — not criminal."
NYC stop-and-frisk policy violates constitutional rights, federal judge rules
John Greyson and Tarek Loubani have been portrayed as innocents abroad, humanitarian do-gooders who were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. This picture is inaccurate and incomplete. The two are hard-core anti-Israel activists who’ve been mixed up in Middle East politics for years. They should have known what they were getting into. They’re lucky, and I hope they’re grateful – although I doubt it. The two have a history of grandstanding. Mr. Greyson, 53, is a leader of Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, a noxious group that authorities tried to ban from Toronto’s Pride Parade. His gay-themed films, financed with government handouts, have been commercial flops. In 2009, he withdrew a film from the Toronto International Film Festival because TIFF was going to show some Israeli films. His protest was widely denounced by other film makers. Robert Lantos called it a self-serving stunt, designed to “garner more attention for his film than it would have ever received had it played at the festival.” In 2011, Mr. Greyson boarded the Gaza flotilla, another stunt designed to publicize the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip. In his spare time, he is employed as a film professor at York University. Many of the media haven’t mentioned that Mr. Greyson is gay for fear that it would go worse for him in homophobic Egypt. But it’s no secret; his sexual orientation is very public. The real mystery is how anyone concerned with gay rights could support a viciously homophobic movement like Hamas. My read is that these two were troublemakers who knowingly stepped into a volatile situation. They’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of their incarceration. That doesn’t mean they deserved to be in jail, or that the government shouldn’t have intervened on their behalf. Its job is to advocate for any citizen who is denied due process by a foreign government – no matter how foolish, reckless or disagreeable that citizen may be. In this case, the government – one that Mr. Greyson and Mr. Loubani viscerally despise – applied the heat at the highest level. Foreign Minister John Baird even met with his Egyptian counterpart. These two should kiss Mr. Baird’s feet. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. -Margaret Wente

The waitress who posted an image of "anti-gay" receipt, and who received thousands of dollars in donations because of it, has been suspended from her job in New Jersey pending an ongoing investigation. Claims she made about donating the money to charity have also come into question. The story of Dayna Morales, a gay waitress and former Marine, went viral last month after she posted an image of a purportedly homophobic receipt from a customer who refused to leave her a tip because of her "lifestyle." The family who allegedly left the receipt later came out challenging Morales' story, saying they not only gave a tip, but they also never wrote the note. They provided a credit card bill to prove they were charged a greater amount than Morales claimed and called her tale a hoax. On Tuesday, the Asbury Park Press noted Morales has been suspended from her position at Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, N.J. "Ms. Morales is currently not on our employee schedule while are still working to complete our investigation," the restaurant posted on Facebook Nov. 29. The investigation is set to be complete "very soon," according to the Asbury Park Press. In her original post about the alleged incident, Morales wrote "I served in the Marines to keep ignorant people like them free." She said she intended to donate the money she received from supporters around the world to the Wounded Warrior Project. Now, Bridgewater Patch is reporting Morales' supposed donation could not be verified with the Wounded Warrior Project as of Wednesday. A representative from the nonprofit checked for donations under her name and zip code and found no matches. However, the rep noted the donation could've been made under a different name or zip code. Morales' history in the Marines made headlines this week when a source with the Pentagon told WNBC she was dishonorably discharged in May for failing to attend drills. Former coworkers of Morales have spoken out to the media following the enormous attention her receipt story received. They claimed Morales has a history of lying, according to The Journal News. She allegedly lied to colleagues about having brain cancer, about the severity of the damage done to her house during Hurricane Sandy and about the supposed casualties she saw while deployed in Afghanistan. “It’s like she’s taking it to a whole other level,” Julie Howat, who knew Morales, told The Journal News. “Now you’re lying to people to get their money. It’s not even for sympathy now."

For some reason she gets a bad rap on this board, but I happen to love her. She's smart and witty and funny. She has a very positive aura. She has a good heart and really seems to care about finding true love for her millionaire clients. She also happens to look amazing. I can't believe she's in her 50s. She looks a good 10-15 years younger than her age. I know she's had trouble finding true love for herself, which is really a shame because she has so much love to give. I love her and her entertaining BRAVO show. I always try to catch it Thursdays at 9 or the rerun the following Tuesday at 10.

Continuing a great thread with fabulous pecs.
It has been seven years since ABC’s Home Improvement last aired (excluding TBS’s constant reruns), but to this day it’s hard to forget that lovable cast — especially that cute middle son, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. But whatever happened to the infamous JTT? Only a few years ago, Thomas was stealing the hearts of every teenage girl in North America with his portrayal of Randy Taylor, Tim Allen’s TV son. Randy was the wisecracker who had lines like, “Let me get this straight. Mark gets fewer rules because he’s a dork, and I get more rules because Brad’s a dork.” Aside from the Home Improvement gig, JTT also made a few cute movies in his prime, such as Tom and Huck, Man of the House, as well as the voice of Simba in Disney’s The Lion King. So how is it possible that one of the ’90s biggest tween crushes has seemingly vanished into oblivion? While it would have been humorous to learn JTT is now living in a trailer community with two divorces, 17 kids and a substance abuse problem (just like his dear old TV dad), the truth is that JTT has actually been up to some good. His hiatus has included studying history and philosophy at Harvard, and filming a few indie flicks, where his portrayal of some more daring characters has sparked rumors of possible homosexuality. Can you say Ricky Martin? How about Tom Cruise? The rumours were put to an end when JTT denied them in 2000, in an interview conducted by The Advocate, a gay-lesbian magazine. JTT has also been involved in politics. His conservative viewpoint on abortion led to his becoming a very vocal pro-life supporter. He even did the voice for an unborn fetus in a recent anti-abortion campaign. According to the 2,500 fan club members on his shrine-site a comeback is inevitable. For these fans, there is a stirring of excitement, as JTT has finally decided to return to theatres and TV sets across the world. He has popped up on such shows as Smallville, Eight Simple Rules..., and Veronica Mars, and also joined the multitude of stars who have provided guest voices on The Simpsons. Who knows, a comeback might really be in the cards for the least dorky Home Improvement kid.

Gay or not? He has gay-voice.
A judge has dismissed an application by two inmates at a Saskatchewan prison who are in a relationship and want to live together. Jean Richer and Leslie Sinobert argued the Correctional Service of Canada is violating their rights. The two men told court they are in a "long-standing" relationship and want to live in the same house in the minimum-security annex at the federal Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert. Court heard they are serving life or indeterminate sentences, and were transferred from medium-security to the minimum Riverbend facility in the spring. They were then assigned to live in different housing units. Prison officials denied a request by the couple that they be allowed to live under the same roof, stating the men get enough time during the day to see each other in common areas such as the gym or cultural centre. That is harsh.

And how did you decorate your first apartment. I grew up in the '50s through the 70s. In the 50s it was all Early American. "Little House on the Prairie" style. An electrified hurricane lamp came down from the ceiling over a round oak slab dining table and lazy susan that we got in North Carolina. The furniture was covered with slipcovers. It kind of looked like Lucy and Ricky's house when they moved to the country. In the 60s, they went Danish Modern, more simple, like the furniture now, fake Eames furniture. In the 70s they became hippies and threw out all the furniture and brought in beanbag chairs and throw cushions. For my first apartment, I had Marimekko picture frames I did myself on the wall, a fold-up futon couch in the living room. Stereo. LPs. Books. Couldn't afford much.

And a dispute with the police. What's going on here? Was he alone in his cell? Samuel See, 34, an assistant professor of English and American studies at Yale University, was pronounced dead after he was found unresponsive in his cell at a New Haven detention center on Sunday. See had been arrested Saturday for violating a protective order and fighting with police officers when they were called to his home on a domestic dispute complaint. According to police, they received a complaint of a domestic dispute early Saturday evening. Police officers arrived to a residence and found Saunder Ganglani, See's husband, retrieving his belongings at the home both men shared. Because both men had protective orders against each other, both See and Ganglani were arrested. Police said See then became very upset, telling officers he shouldn't be arrested for violating a protective order at his own home. He fought against the cops as they tried to handcuff him. As See was led to a police car, the arrest report states that he yelled to one of the arresting officers, "I will kill you ... I will destroy you." See was first transported to the hospital with a cut above his eye and was later taken to a cell at the Union Avenue Detention Facility. According to police, he was alert the night of the arrest but was found dead early the next morning. See is not believed to have committed suicide. His death is currently under investigation and the New Haven Register reports that the chief state medical examiner's office said the "cause of death is pending further studies." This weekend's incident was not See's first brush with the law. The professor, currently on leave from the university, was due in court next week to enter a plea for an incident in September in which he was arrested for assault and breach of peace. Yale spokesman Tom Conroy released this statement Wednesday afternoon: The University community is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Samuel See. Our condolences go out to his family, faculty colleagues, and students, and his friends at Yale and elsewhere. We encourage anyone at Yale who needs comfort and support at this time of loss to reach out to friends in the community or to University resources that are available for consultation and counseling (University Chaplain, Yale Mental Health and Counseling for students, and Magellan Health Services for staff). Mr. See was an assistant professor of English and American Studies who had been on leave during the current semester.

The Secret Sharer Interview by DEBORAH SOLOMON Your unauthorized biography of Oprah Winfrey, who turned daytime television into a form of confession and became one of the wealthiest women in the world, comes out this week. The book presents her as a cold manipulator who requires everyone around her to sign confidentiality agreements. What do you consider the most significant disclosure in the book? What I think is the most tantalizing part is that she’s so secretive, that there are so many secrets. But hasn’t she already revealed her secrets — the hardscrabble childhood in Mississippi, the fact that she was sexually molested and pregnant by the time she was 14, with a son who died as a newborn? Oh, no, no, no, no. This book goes into much more detail. This book names the little boy that she gave birth to, presents the birth certificate and tries to show how these secrets, these awful secrets, controlled Oprah for most of her life. For me, the most surprising scene is the one in which she calls room service at a hotel to order a snack of two pecan pies, which she immediately consumes. Do you think that’s the biggest secret in the book? No, but it is jarring, as is the detail about the heated dog kennel at her former country estate in Indiana. Why was one of her cocker spaniels named Solomon? I bet it was King Solomon. Did you interview her mother, Vernita Lee, who lives in Milwaukee? No. Oprah has her mother on a very short leash. I assume Oprah has furnished her mom with a car. Car and driver. As her aunt Katharine says, the mother’s car and drivers have drivers. She buys $500 hats, and she has a very good life financially, but she can’t reach Oprah. Oprah will not give her mother her telephone number. Her mother has to call her secretary or an assistant? Right. Was Oprah more restrictive than Frank Sinatra, a previous subject of yours? Absolutely. More restrictive than Nancy Reagan, another subject of yours? Yes, and I’ll tell you why. In promoting this book, we have already been told by Barbara Walters’s producer, No, you cannot be on “The View,” I cannot disrupt my relationship with Oprah. Joy Behar, the same thing. Charlie Rose; Larry King said, I will not do it, it might upset Oprah. Even David Letterman. Why would they care about impressing her? She’s about to start her own cable network. They’re not dependent on income from her. Well, if you had a choice between being a friend of Oprah Winfrey or Kitty, no contest, right? But what about their commitment to covering the news? You don’t determine what to cover based on who is the more glamorous friend or who hosts better parties. I think they kiss that goodbye when it comes to Oprah. Your book could have had more about her cultural legacy, her role in glamorizing victimhood by putting on shows about “women who are allergic to their husbands,” “hairdresser horror stories” and the rest. Those are things that she cares about. I kind of disagree with you on the legacy business because look at the millions of people who claim to have been helped by Oprah. Right. But she has made victimhood a status symbol, so that everyone in America was suddenly claiming to be a victim of bad parenting or a bad love affair. Or a kidnapping. Are you a victim? In this interview? Whom do you plan to write your next book about? Please. After every one, I say I’m never going to do this again ever. Why don’t you write a biography of Dick Cheney Oh, God. I approached Oprah with a great deal of admiration and respect. That might be missing if I were to approach the subject of Dick Cheney. INTERVIEW HAS BEEN CONDENSED AND EDITED.

Yet another conservative has taken issue with critical comments made by Pope Francis on capitalism and “trickle-down” economics. Tea party activist Jonathon Moseley published a World Net Daily column Sunday that challenged the pope’s interpretation of the Bible, saying that Jesus had addressed his comments about helping the poor to individuals, not the government. Moseley, a Virginia business and criminal defense attorney, supports his claim with a verse from the Book of Luke in which Jesus declines to act as arbitrator when someone asks him to compel a brother to divide their family inheritance. “In just one verse, we see that God rejects the left-wing ‘Jesus Christ supported socialism’ heresy,” Moseley writes. “When Jesus was asked to support redistribution of wealth — to tell one brother to share the family inheritance with the other — Jesus refused.” Moseley says Jesus would never support a government or church “stealing property by force” to give to someone else because he wouldn’t even intervene with the family dispute described in the Bible. He dismisses claims by those who say the pope’s Spanish-language Apostolic Exhortation was mistranslated, because Pope Francis himself had not disputed the translations and corrected translations differ little from the original. But Moseley says the pope is wrong to argue for government intervention in the distribution of wealth, and he defends the pope’s American conservative critics. “One truth shines out from the Bible: Jesus spoke to the individual, never to government or government policy,” Moseley writes. “Jesus was a capitalist, preaching personal responsibility, not a socialist.” Moseley mangles the definition of socialism to make it seem synonymous with totalitarianism and defines capitalism as synonymous with freedom, and proceeds with his arguments from there. “Would Jesus endorse the violence needed for government intervention?” Moseley argues. He says that capitalism necessarily benefits society because businesses rely on consumers to choose their products or services. “The consumer is king,” Moseley argues. “Consumers won’t buy unless the purchase benefits them. To reinforce that central pillar of capitalism, laws against lying and fraud are proper and necessary.” Moseley, who cohosts the “Conservative Commandos” radio show and serves as executive director of American Border Control, says the pope has got it all wrong on the free market. “In teaching us how we should live, Jesus agrees that a man who traded with investment capital and earned profits is praised and rewarded by his master, a type for God, and given increased authority,” Moseley writes. By contrast, he notes, Pope Francis specifically rejects the “invisible hand” of the free market as a “poison.” He says the pope has directly contradicted Jesus’ strategy of changing individual hearts one at a time by calling on political leaders to help improve the lives of the poor and to address the issue of wealth inequality. “Jesus Christ is weeping in heaven hearing Christians espouse a socialist philosophy that has created suffering and poverty around the world,” Moseley writes. “It is impossible to love one’s neighbor as yourself without fighting against socialism, meaning government meddling in private lives.”

Okay, it's a remake/reboot/whatever, but still... it premiered last night right after "Arrow" on the CW. I thought it pretty much rocked. I'll definitely keep tuning in. And of course, it's a CW show, so there was some hot male eye-candy for sure :-)

That will still leave him with $190,000 after he pays his debt....plus all the money he makes every year! I don't think this is asking too much. He is a kind person, and he MIGHT give it to me. But of course, he doesn't HAVE to. How can I convince him - how can I win? I'm planning on bringing this up on January 1 so I still have some time to think about it.
Who are some stars who are widely assumed to be straight, but you think they might be queer? For me its Jennifer Lopez. Never heard any rumors about her but she always dated flamers like P. Diddy and that backup dancer guy with gayface.

I have been watching OZ a few times a week as HBO is rerunning it on one of their channels. I never have seen it before and have only heard it referred to here, mostly in connection with Chris Meloni and Lee Tergesen. \ I have to say that these two men have a chemistry that is amazing. I can well believe the rumors that their relationship was more than a professional one. As to the show, it is truly powerful and very disturbing. Sometimes the brutality is too much for me and I have to turn it off. I''m also really impressed with Rita Moreno.\ If anyone cares to comment on the program or the actors, I would enjoy reading it.

I had one that worked really well. I used to edit video clips in HD, edit them together, etc. Suddenly it became to much for my laptop to handle (videos would become choppy). The fan would go into overdrive. Yes, I cleaned the vents and wiped the hard drive clean. It didn't help any. So what size and specs should I get in a laptop? I'm not looking to purchase anything major, but I'd like to get something that'll work. TIA.

I apologize in advance for the crazies/racists this thread will probably bring out. I hope they don't scare away those who have something valuable to contribute. I live in LA and want to visit Mexico City, specifically the Frida Kahlo Museum. I'd also love to see the Museo Dolores and the anthropology museum. My Mexican friends (I am white) are split in their recommendations, with about half saying that visiting should be ok and the other half saying that it's too dangerous. They all agree on one thing: stay away from Tijuana! Am I being paranoid, or are things really so bad that I shouldn't visit right now? Is flying safer than driving? And if I go, do you have any tips for keeping safe (other than avoiding Montezuma's Revenge)?
I'm binge watching Hell on Wheels on NetFlix, and wondering why on earth we haven't discussed Anson Mount, the lead actor. Tall, dark, and handsome, and with the best Southern accent I've heard on television. He's also 40 and no mention of ever having been married--is he of the homosexual persuasion?

12/05/2013 Tom Daley's reported relationship with Dustin Lance Black has been making international headlines all week, but one pundit isn't mincing words when it comes to his disapproval of the 19-year-old British Olympic diver's alleged involvement with the Oscar-winning "Milk" screenwriter, 39. Robert Oscar Lopez, whose opposition to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is well-established, penned a lengthy blog condemning the couple on his website. Lopez even suggests Daley's supposed romance with Black stems from the diver's father's death earlier this year, and compares the relationship to that of Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of Allen's former partner, Mia Farrow. "It just so happens that gay male culture treats the whole affair with such casual indifference, even reveling in the sick, twisted predation in all of it," Lopez writes. "Toying with a 19-year-old's sexual identity, when the person is still at a tender age, still not secure enough in himself to piece together what homosexuality means, or even know why he's embarking on such a risky erotic journey -- that's just wrong." He uses the relationship as evidence that gay couples shouldn't adopt children: A community led by people like Dustin Lance Black, a community that thinks this is normal and acceptable, is simply not a community that is prepared to have custody over defenseless pubescent boys. Yes, it's true that heterosexuals commit terrible sexual crimes -- but heterosexuals make up 98 percent of the country, and for the most part, they have a guilty conscience and express disdain over blatant cradle-robbing like this. When Bill Clinton cheated on his wife with an intern half his age, he got impeached and disbarred--it would be a false canard to say that straights think this is okay, so gay people ought to get a pass. A critical mass of gays think it's all very sexy. You can read Lopez's blog in full here. E! Online and The Advocate are among the numerous media outlets to report that Daley and Black are an item, though representatives for both men have yet to comment. Although he did not label himself "gay" or "bisexual," Daley got frank about his current relationship with another man in an emotional YouTube video released Monday. Still, he did not disclose the identity of his partner. "Come spring this year, my life changed massively when I met someone. And it made me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great. And, well, that someone is a guy," he said. "My whole world just changed, right there and then. And, you know, of course I still fancy girls, but right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier."

Just one month after announcing his split from Victoria’s Secret beauty Miranda Kerr, Orlando Bloom is already being linked to a new gal pal — Lord of the Rings co-star Liv Tyler. According to a new report from Star magazine, the two have been friends for years and recently solidified their affection for each other during a night out in New York City. An eyewitness claims Bloom and Tyler got cozy backstage during the opening night of Broadway’s Waiting for Godot and then took their PDA to the after-party at Bryant Park Grill. “When they got behind closed doors, they were playfully tickling, gazing into each other’s eyes and holding hands,” the partygoer told Star. Bloom’s relationship with Kerr lasted six years and they have one son together, so insiders say the two are keeping their new relationships low-key for now. “Miranda and Orlando are trying not to cause a scene with other people out of respect for each other,” the source said.

Who has it worse: the gays or the lesbians? I once saw a lesbian couple histrionically break up on the residential streets of Portland where one of them was screaming and pleading for the other to stay by physically holding onto her on the street next to the car. When the other one broke away and drove off, the sobbing partner flung gravel at the direction of the speeding car (which was already down the block by the time she had stood up from the pavement and thus plainly too far for the gravel to hit). I wanted to applaud her for the drama of it all.

My sister is desperate for a job. A friend of hers told her about an ad from a Russian newspaper for an English speaking person to work the phone, from her home, for an escort agency. Her job would be overnight hours and it would be to set up the "dates" between those who want to hire and those who do the dates. She would have no physical contact with the customers or the girls, at least I guess it's girls. Is this legal in NYC? My sister would be doing nothing sexual, just taking addresses and phone numbers and maybe credit card numbers and such. The man she spoke with who would be hiring her said he would supply her with a phone. She can't find anything else and has been looking since she lost her job last July. I've been out of work myself and can't help her financially or I would. Neither of us have a problem with her doing this kind of work, as long as it's legal. So please, if you know, is it?

Let's resurrect the Visible Penis Line thread!
Georgia Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens (R) has a message for the estimated 57.2 million Americans suffering from diabetes, asthma, cancer, genetic disorders, and other pre-existing medical conditions: it’s your fault. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution uncovered video of Hudgens from a November meeting at the CSRA Republican Women’s Club in Evans, Georgia in which he makes the case against the Affordable Care Act’s mandated coverage for Americans with pre-existing medical conditions. In fact, Hudgens compares requiring insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions to requiring auto insurers to pay claims to any reckless drivers without comprehensive auto insurance who crash their cars: HUDGENS: I’ve had several companies come in and they have said just the fact — just the fact — that in the individual market pre-existing conditions have to be covered on Jan. 1, that that is going to double the cost of insurance. And if you don’t really understand what covering pre-existing conditions would be like, it would be like in Georgia we have a law that says you have to have insurance on your automobile. You have to have liability insurance. If you’re going to drive on Georgia’s roads, you have to have liability insurance. You don’t have to have collision. You don’t have to have comprehensive…. But you have to have liability. But say you’re going along and you have a wreck. And it’s your fault. Well, a pre-existing condition would be you then calling up your insurance agent and saying, ‘I would like to get collision insurance coverage on my car.’ And your insurance agent says, ‘Well, you never had that before. Why would you want it now?’ And you say, ‘Well, I just had a wreck, it was my fault and I want the insurance company to pay to repair my car.’ And that’s the exact same thing on pre-existing insurance. Perhaps it isn’t surprising that Gov. Nathan Deal’s (R-GA) administration is advancing the insurance industry’s line on Obamacare. In September, Deal revealed that he had taken over half a million dollars in contributions from the health care industry through a Super PAC whose activities were kept secret until an investigative reporter uncovered corporate donations to the group over the summer. Many of those donations — including $50,000 checks from United Health Care, Inc. and WellCare of Georgia — came from major insurance companies that are opposed to Affordable Care Act’s consumer protections, like the coverage requirement for Americans with pre-existing conditions. Other donors included Humana, Blue Cross, and Aetna. Hudgens himself has even deeper ties to insurance companies. In fact, Consumer Watchdogsingled him out in a 2011 report on insurance commissioners’ relationships with the industry they regulate. It found that private insurers were Hudgens’ top supporters for his 2010 race, donating just under $150,000 to his campaign. Over 20 percent of Americans who applied for insurance in the pre-Obamacare individual market were denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition in the 46 states that didn’t already ban those practices. As of press time, Deal’s office had not responded to a request for comment.
GOP Insurance Commissioner Says Pre-Existing Conditions Are Your Fault
newly discovered strain of HIV is spreading across West Africa. What's worse is that it's particularly aggressive—and causes significantly faster progression to AIDS than other strains. Called A3/02, the strain of HIV was first observed in 2011. But now, reports Al Jazeera, researchers at Sweden's Lund University have found that it's spreading across the West African country of Guinea-Bissau. A3/02 forms when two of the most common strains in the region fuse together—and the result is potent. Angelica Palm, one of the scientists involved in the study, explains: [quote]"Individuals who are infected with the new recombinant form develop AIDS within five years. That's about two to two-and-a-half years faster than one of the parent [strains]." The research backs up previous studies which have suggested that recombinant strains of HIV—where different DNA combines to form a new strain—are potentially more dangerous. Perhaps even more concerning is that the researchers point out that, while their work is conducted in West Africa, different recombinant strains are likely forming across Europe and the US due to high levels of immigration. Gulp.

There's a new development in the ongoing saga of discredited restaurant server Dayna Morales: It seems the woman who falsely claimed she received an anti-gay "tip" from two patrons never donated the money she received from supporters to help wounded vets like she promised. In the immediate aftermath of Morales's anti-gay allegations against a New Jersey couple who dined in her section at the Gallop Asian Bistro, many supporters began showing up at the restaurant with "monetary contributions." Within a few days, Morales had racked up over $2,000 in donations, but told NJ.com she planned to forward it all to the Wounded Warrior Project. But an investigation by Bridgewater Patch discovered that, as of today, no donations to the nonprofit have been made in Morales's name, nor were any donations made from any ZIP codes in the Bridgewater area. This wouldn't be the first lie Morales ever told. In fact, friends have since described Morales as a compulsive liar, and say she made up stories about having brain cancer and claimed her home was damaged during Sandy. According to a Marines spokesman, Morales also never served in Afghanistan despite claiming she was the sole survivor of an explosion that took out her entire platoon. Moreover, she was dishonorably discharged for missing drills. The Gallop Asian Bistro had said it suspended Morales, but it's unclear if she has since had her employment permanently terminated.

American students once again lag behind many of their Asian and European peers on a global exam, a continuing trend that often is blamed on child poverty and a diverse population in U.S. schools. Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the results a "picture of educational stagnation" as U.S. students showed little improvement over three years, failing to score in the top 20 on math, reading or science. Students in Shanghai, China's largest city, had the top scores in all subjects, and Singapore, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong students weren't far behind. Even Vietnam, which had its students participate for the first time, had a higher average score in math and science than the United States. The test is based on a 1,000-point scale. Among the findings: - In math, the U.S. average score was 481. Average scores ranged from 368 in Peru to 613 in Shanghai. The international average was 494. - In science, the U.S. average score was 497. Average scores ranged from 373 in Peru to 580 in Shanghai. The international average was 501. - In reading, the U.S. average score was 498. Average scores ranged from 384 in Peru to 570 in Shanghai. The international average was 496.

...and fucking DOMINATES domestic oil supplies, producing 35% of America's total crude output. Jealous, bitches?? "HOUSTON – Oil production in Texas has hit its highest monthly rate on record, more than doubling in less than three years, according to new federal data. The state pumped 2.7 million barrels of crude per day during September, the highest average since monthly record-keeping began in January 1981. That marked a 30 percent jump over September 2012, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Texas’ oil production peaked in 1972, when it produced an average of 3.4 million barrels per day, according to annual data from the Texas Railroad Commission. After decades of decline, Texas oil production abruptly turned in 2008 with the beginning of the shale oil and gas boom. Innovation in oil field technology, particularly hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, have opened new regions of the United States to oil and natural gas activity in recent years. Production from deep, dense rock formations, once uneconomical to drill, has unleashed a new wealth of oil and gas on the energy-hungry nation. The Texas oil boom largely has been fueled by production in South Texas’ Eagle Ford Shale and West Texas’ Permian Basin, which have expanded rapidly to produce more than 1 million barrels of oil per day each. Texas produced 35 percent of the United States’ crude oil in September. The surge has made Texas one of the 15 largest oil producers in the world, putting it in the ranks of heavy-hitters including Venezuela, Kuwait and Nigeria. For 25 straight months, the state’s oil production rate has increased by more than 25 percent year-over-year, noted economist Mark J. Perry, a professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Management. “Output in America’s No. 1 oil-producing state – Texas – continues its phenomenal, meteoric rise,” Perry wrote on his blog, Carpe Diem. “That production surge has to be one of the most significant increases in oil output ever recorded in the U.S. over such a short period of time.” Perry said the oil boom in the Eagle Ford Shale and the Permian Basin have placed those regions among nine “super-giant oil fields” in the world. The United States’ surging oil production, which reached 7.8 million barrels per day in September, has reignited talk of energy independence. The United States’ natural gas imports plummeted 21 percent from 2008 to 2012, while imports of crude oil and petroleum products fell 18 percent. The Energy Information Administration forecasts that the U.S. will pass Saudi Arabia and Russia this year to become the world’s top producer of oil and natural gas combined. Americans still consume far more crude, however, than they produce. The country pumped an average of 6.5 million barrels of oil per day in 2012. Meanwhile, it used more than 18 million barrels of oil and petroleum products per day last year. The Energy Information Administration projects total U.S. oil production will rise to 8.2 million barrels per day in 2014."

The first thing I liked about Orange Is the New Black is that it premiered on a dull summer Thursday. While weekends get busy in the summer, so much of the television goes away during the week (that’s the only real explanation I have for why I’m still watching Under the Dome). So on a pure consumer level, this television junky was thrilled by Netflix debuting 13 meaty new episodes of an intriguing prison drama this week. And in many respects, Orange is proving to be a perfect solution to the drought of quality content available this month on both digital and traditional platforms. I watched the show over the past few days, admittedly at a much slower pace than usual, but even still got sucked into the story of Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a newly convicted resident of the federal penitentiary system. Orange represents an interesting cross between the distinctive styles of House of Cards — traditional serialized storytelling — and Arrested Development Season 4 — which is a Russian doll of flashbacks and interwoven events. The show, created by Weeds showrunner Jenji Kohan, chronicles Chapman and the eclectic ensemble cast’s coping with prison life, but makes heavy use of flashbacks to shed light on how many of the inmates came to be institutionalized. Other scenes flesh out Chapman’s life prior to conviction, and between those reveals, the peeks into the lives of others and the main storyline taking place within prison walls, the end result is both linear narrative and rich tapestry. The format has invited comparisons to the ABC series Lost, the difference being that while Lost overused its flashbacks and rarely shed much real light on the characters, there’s seasons worth of back story left in Orange. The only main flaw of the experience came every time a new episode started — as visually gripping as the opening sequence is, you can only listen to a Regina Spektor song so many times in a row; skipping forward to timecode 1:13 or so became habit for me by Episode 6. It’s been said before, but it’s worth saying again: If Netflix is building its future on binge-viewing, it really needs to address a clean solution for those who wish to skip past the opening sequences. Those who might wonder about Orange, know that the show’s quality is solid — while the cast doesn’t include any Oscar winners, there are plenty of non-unknowns in the game, including Jason Biggs, Taryn Manning, Natasha Lyonne, Laura Prepon and the amazing Kate Mulgrew as Red, who could easily be a stereotype of a character (tough Russian mobster turned tough Russian prison cook) but is a surprisingly vulnerable presence. Not only is the show strong (so strong that Netflix has already renewed it for a second season), Orange is the New Black represents a major milestone for the service: Previous show releases have been major events, and the channel has used the novelty of premiering original content in bulk to drive press coverage and audience attention. Now, however, Netflix seems to be seguing to a new phase of its operation — where subscribers can just come to expect, on a semi-regular basis, the launch of new great shows. Orange is the fourth series to launch on the service in 2013 — none other, aside from the animated content being produced by Dreamworks, have been announced. Which is frankly disappointing; with the exception of Hemlock Grove (which currently has a 44 percent rating on Metacritic), Netflix has set an impressive bar for high-quality original series over the last six months. Similarly to the golden age of HBO, where the end of The Sopranos meant the return of Six Feet Under, followed by a new season of The Wire, the steady stream of new, unique and intriguing series we’ve been getting from Netflix has created a new, and quite welcome, tradition of potentially award-worthy programming. Here’s the highest compliment I can pay: Other Netflix series have left me excited for more Kevin Spacey political scheming or Bluth family antics. But Orange is the first time that I’ve finished watching a show and been excited about what Netflix might release next.

"Op-ed: Stop Judging Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black By Neal Broverman Originally published on Advocate.com December 05 2013 6:00 AM ET When we think back on 2013, say in 20 or 30 years, will we ask each other where we were when we heard 19-year-old British diver Tom Daley was dating 39-year-old director/screenwriter Dustin Lance Black? You’d think it was the most pivotal news of this year judging by The Advocate’s web traffic or the gay gossip that spread like a wig store fire; curtains seemed to billow from a collective eye roll. Here’s some pearl-clutching comments from The Advocate story on this Gay/December pairing: “uh once again the old Queens going after the twink half his freaking age!!!” “19 & 40?! I guess they're the Tom & Katie of the Gays. Kinda creepy.” “I give it a year.” “What's he looking for? A father figure? Won't last!” “Mark my words, Tom is too young to be experienced in relationships. Their age will hinder their relationship, and they will not be together at some point. This will not last.” “This is a disturbing age difference, regardless of who it is.” My reaction wasn't as extreme; when told, I said, “Oy vey” and went back to work. Not until I realized the outsize reaction to, let’s call them Tustin, did I give thought to my judgment. Yes, yes, as gay people we’re not supposed to throw shade on (legal) relationships that stray from the norm; we’ve endured that our whole lives. But let’s be honest, even if you wished the new couple the best of luck on Facebook or told your boyfriend or wife that, “it’s so sweet,” you initially thought, Ew. Maybe we’re simply jealous. Who wouldn’t want to make waffles on Tom’s abs or run your fingers through Dustin’s hair while stroking his Milk Oscar with your free hand? Here are two exceptional, good-looking men at the top of their game. And they get to sleep with each other on 1,500-thread-count sheets! “Not fair,” we say, as we curse them and check BuzzFeed to forget our lives of quiet desperation. Of course, Dustin is on the receiving end of most of the envy. This middle-aged guy snagged a young cutie with a million-dollar smile and a ticket to Rio in 2016. Some of us assume his “conquest” wasn’t made on the merits of his appearance, because unless the older man is Joe Manganiello, why would a teenager be attracted to someone two decades older than him? DLB — that scoundrel! — must have used his brains, charm, and success to woo that baby dreamboat. Even if their love is as legitimate as Barack and Michelle's, their pairing reminds us of those rich, older men with status symbol beauties on their arms; those men who don’t want an equal as a partner, just a play thing to toss aside when she gets her first wrinkle. When we see matches like this, we assume the men are shallow and the women gold-diggers. Make both participants male and we think the same (e.g Calvin Klein, Bryan Singer and their youthful coteries). But that formula doesn't work with Tustin: DLB is dewy and good-looking in his own right, while bronze-medal winning Tom was a judge on a reality show, so he’s probably doing fine financially. Maybe we’re all wondering, what can a 19-year-old and a 39-year-old possibly get from each other? I can’t imagine they had similar childhoods (Tom just graduated from his) or many shared experiences. But that’s not to say they can’t offer up something tangible to each other besides silky hair and 0 percent body fat. For Tom, maybe DLB embodies confidence, intelligence, and passion; an example of a gay man he can admire. Describing DLB as a “father figure” to Tom is off; he’s too youthful for such a description. But many newly out gay and bi men want a sort-of fraternal figure to guide them through the queer door. In his famous YouTube video, Tom twice said his new boyfriend made him feel “safe.”

My sister has been taking care of my Dad who is in hospice care and not expected to live much longer. This past Saturday, my sister called me to say that "something beautiful" had just happened in Dad's room. A white light appeared on the wall. They thought it was a reflection of the sunlight coming in through the window so they shut the blinds and darkened the room. My sister says it only got brighter. I linked the photo below. (Dad's in a deep sleep, not yet gone.) My best friend's mother is also in hospice and he went to see her this weekend. A white light (he says looks exactly like his late father) appeared over her bed too. And they also got a (more indistinct) picture. So I went online and started reading. It seems this phenomenon is pretty common. Has anyone else had an experience like this? I'm floored by it!

Olympic diver Tom Daley surprised fans yesterday when he came out and told the world via YouTube that he was dating a man. Now, everyone is wondering who the lucky guy is. Well, we have the answer...and he's an Oscar winner! Sources exclusively tell E! News that Daley has been dating Dustin Lance Black, the 39-year-old writer who won an Academy Award for his screenplay for Milk, the 2008 biopic about gay rights activist legend Harvey Milk (Sean Penn also won an Oscar for playing Milk in the flick). Back in October, Daley and Black were spotted together for the first time, grabbing a snack at The Coffee Bean in Hollywood. Yesterday, Daley posted a touching YouTube video in which he came out as dating a man. "In spring this year, my life changed massively when I met someone and they made me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great," the 19-year-old said. "And that someone is a guy. It did take me by surprise a little bit. It was always in the back of my head that something like that could happen, but it wasn't until spring this year that something just clicked. It felt right and I thought, 'OK,' and my whole world changed there and then." He added, "Of course, I still fancy girls, but right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier." Black returned yesterday to L.A. from a trip to Russia to screen Milk at an LGBT film festival in St. Petersburg with the film's director Gus Van Sant and producers Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinx. Black is currently working on screenplays for Ron Howard's Under the Banner of Heaven and Barefoot Bandit for director Robert Zemeckis. He'll be in Daley's native U.K. in the spring to direct Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. Daley is currently in London, where he posted on his Facebook earlier today, "I'd just like to say a massive thanks for all the support yesterday...it truly was overwhelming xx."
Despite his 10 Olympic medals, a U.N. ambassadorship and his pro bono coaching work for the University of Houston, track star Carl Lewis won't be winning the "neighbor of the year" award at his Memorial Drive apartment building. John Cannon with the Houston Police Department tells CultureMap that, on Nov. 13, the legendary athlete's two dogs — reported by BARC as a Springer Spaniel and Boxer — chased and killed a Yorkshire Terrier owned by Mary Lane, Lewis' fellow resident at the Memorial Cove Lofts. Lewis' son, who was watching the two dogs at the time, told his father the incident started when the Yorkie began barking at the Springer Spaniel, which lunged after the small dog. The Boxer quickly joined the fight, killing the Yorkie and biting its owner as she tried to break up the battle. Lane filed an HPD report the following morning, while BARC's animal control team placed the two dogs under a 10-day rabies quarantine, a standard procedure following any bite case, according to BARC spokesperson Christopher Newport. Sources close to the Memorial Cove homeowners' association say that, after the attack, a letter was sent to the owner of Lewis' apartment — a corporate aviation service company called Wilson Air Center — requesting that the dogs be removed as per HOA bylaws. But residents were up in arms this week when they discovered the Springer Spaniel and Boxer had returned to the apartment building. According to BARC, Lewis paid several hundred dollars in boarding and vaccine costs to retrieve the dogs on Monday after city veterinarians deemed them rabies-free. For the city to continue handling the dispute, complainants will need to file a formal affidavit declaring the animals "dangerous." A hearing would follow, allowing each party to present evidence. If the dogs are determined dangerous, the city either will impose a number of requirements (fence, microchips on the dogs, etc.) on Lewis . . . or euthanize his pets. Though Wilson Air could not be reached for comment, sources say the company appears to be working with building management to rectify the situation.
Olympic legend Carl Lewis clashes with his Houston neighbors over his killer dogs
A log has been uncovered that suggests Wagner and Walken were engaged in a sexual act when Wood walked in on them on the night she died Wood drowned, age 43, after going overboard her 60-foot yacht Splendor on November 29, 1981 Police and the coroner at the time ruled her death accidental Husband Robert Wagner, now 82, denies being involved in her death and has never been charged A new coroner's report released in January found she had bruises on her wrists, knees and ankles that could have been 'non accidental' A shocking new revelation has been uncovered in the infamous 31-year-old mystery surrounding the death of Hollywood actress Natalie Wood. Wood's body was found floating in the sea off Catalina Island, California on Nov 29, 1981. She had been staying on the yacht, the Splendour, along with husband Robert Wagner and their guest and fellow actor Christopher Walken. The new discovery is the latest in a series of revelations in the case over the past couple of years. Authorities reopened the case in 2011 after the captain of the yacht, Dennis Davern, claimed he had originally lied to the authorities and a new coroner's report published in January revealed that Wood sustained bruises to her face and other parts of her body before she went overboard and drowned. Now the National Enquirer claims to have uncovered documentation - an official lifeguard log - which suggests Wagner and Walken had engaged in a sexual act and that Wood may have walked in on them and set off the chain of events which lead to her untimely and still unexplained death. The note, which is torn and illegible in parts, reads 'also known Chris Walken and Robert Wagner were engaged in sexual activity in cab of boat... (illegible)...that Ms Woods found both of them together (illegible)...stated they took her away in a (illegible)...was the last time she was seen alive.' The Los Angeles County lifeguard, who worked with detectives on the case, told The Enquirer he made the notes on the log after detectives told him that it was a scenario that were considering as a possible motive for any crime that might have been committed on the boat. If legitimate, the documentation could help shed further light on the case which is remains a mystery 21 years after the tragedy occurred. Ms Woods death was initially ruled an accidental drowning, caused by her slipping and falling from the dinghy, but authorities reopened the case in 2011. Davern, who said he had originally lied to authorities, now claims Woods and Wagner had been fighting in the hours before her body was found. Neither Wagner nor Walken has ever been charged in connection with the case. In January a new coroner's report revealed that bruises found on the actress' face, wrists, knees, and ankles occurred before she went into the water - not, as the 1981 report had concluded, as she struggled to climb back aboard the yacht after falling over the side. Those bruises could have been 'non-accidental' and she could have been assaulted aboard the yacht, the medical examiner claimed. The new coroner's report poked numerous holes in the original autopsy reporting and the ruling that her death has been accidental - however it stopped short of calling her death a homicide. Wagner's publicist, Alan Nierob, told MailOnline in January that he would not comment on the report. Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives reopened their investigation in 2011 after the captain of the yacht claimed that Wood's husband, Robert Wagner, was with her right up until she went overboard. Her death was ruled 'accidental' at the time, but in 2012, the coroner changed the ruling to 'undetermined.' The coroner's office said in the new report that it is not have enough evidence to rule on the manner in which Wood died. However, the report did pay special attention to the bruises found on Wood's body.
Any tips to share?

Sam Champion left "Good Morning America" because his husband, Miami-based photographer Rubem Robierb, wants children and refuses to leave Florida for New York, according to TMZ.com. Champion, who is described by ABC insiders as "chronically unhappy" at "GMA," was "shocked" when he wasn't named to replace Larry King at CNN. "Sam loves power, and becoming managing editor (of the Weather Channel) gives him that," said a source. "Sam wanted his own show -- badly-- but ABC execs weren't biting." "We're told Sam will be spending about half his time in Miami so the kids will know his face in person and not just on the tube," says TMZ. "As for moolah, we're told its a lateral move. Our sources say Sam was pulling in around $2.5 mil at GMA, and he'll be making around the same at the Weather Channel."

Who remembers them as fondly as I do? Watching old episodes again it's fun to see how well they've held up. There's no question that Scott Thompson was the funniest of all of them, though the "Buddy" monologues where he plays the sassy gay bartender are much less funny than I remembered. But what really hold up beautifully are the skits where he plays women, particularly Kathy (in the Kathy-Cathy secretaries skits) and Francesca Fiore, "B movie star!" The others were really excellent though. Dave Foley is one of the most brilliant comic underplayers ever, and his underplaying especially works well because all the others overplay so much (albeit hilariously). And I love when Bruce McCullogh is the idiot pop star "Tammy."
I noticed a few recently. 1. Just before they go to Hollywood, Lucy is on the phone with her friend Marian Van Vlack discussing the trip. Couple of episodes later, when Mrs McGillicuddy arrives, Lucy asks her mother how Marian Van Vlack is doing, as if she hadn't had contact with her in ages. 2. In that same episode where Mrs McG arrives, she announces she wants to go Hollywood so she can take her book to Dore Schary, with the hope that he'll turn it into a screenplay. A few eps later, when they're all in Hollywood, Ricky makes a comment about Dore Shary, and Mrs McG shrieks over and over, "Who's Dore Schary? Who's Dore Schary?" 3. This one's a blooper: in an episode when they're getting ready to go to Europe, Fred brings his old vaudeville trunk to the Ricardos. The phone rings, and Ricky picks it up. I don't know if the sound people had the phone ring prematurely, but just after he picks up the phone, with phone to the ear, he turns to Fred and asks what that trunk is. Lucy has to quickly remind him that he's on the phone when she scoldingly says, "the phone, dear." Any others you can think of?
Michigan lawmakers are currently deciding whether to advance a bill that would require women in the state to purchase a separate insurance policy for abortion coverage, even in cases of rape or incest. If it’s approved, Michigan would join a long list of other states that have attacked abortion access by preventing women from using their own insurance to pay for it. The debate over the legislation has heated up this week, particularly since the measure would deny abortion coverage even to women who have become pregnant as a result of rape. Although the overwhelming majority of Americans believe that rape victims should have access to legal abortion services, lawmakers continue to propose policies that would have callous implications for individuals who have been sexually assaulted. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) vetoed the proposed insurance ban last year for exactly this reason — pointing out that it would require rape victims to pay for the total cost of their abortion procedure out-of-pocket, unless they had thought ahead and purchased a separate insurance rider for abortion services. “I don’t believe it is appropriate to tell a woman who becomes pregnant due to a rape that she needed to select elective insurance coverage,” Snyder noted when he rejected the bill last December. But Michigan’s anti-choice community disagrees. Earlier this year, when advocating for the proposed legislation, a prominent anti-choice leader in Michigan suggested that rape is like a car accident and it’s appropriate to require women to buy “extra insurance” to prepare for it. After Snyder’s veto, abortion opponents decided to simply circumvent the governor and collect enough signatures to provoke a “citizen-initiated” vote on the measure. That petition was successful, and the measure headed to the legislature on Tuesday. Lawmakers now have 40 days — not including the upcoming holiday break — to act on the measure. If they don’t take any action, the issue will be placed on the 2014 ballot for a statewide vote. If the legislature approves it, on the other hand, the bill will immediately become law — even without Snyder’s signature. Leading Democrats in the legislature are blasting the proposed measure. “Forcing women to decide whether they want to buy ‘rape insurance’ and even compelling parents to make the unfathomable decision about whether to buy it for their daughters is truly despicable,” State Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer (D) said in a press release on Monday. “Requiring Michigan women to plan ahead for an unplanned pregnancy is not only illogical, it’s one of the most misogynistic proposals I have ever seen in the Michigan Legislature.” But abortion opponents aren’t giving up. Save the 1, a national anti-choice group that advocates for abortion restrictions without exceptions, organized a press conference at the Michigan Capitol on Tuesday to make the point that rape victims shouldn’t ever have the option of choosing abortion. A group of adults who were conceived as a result of rape argued that “no child deserves to be punished for the crimes of their father.” The issue of rape and abortion access has become particularly contentious over the past year, after several Republican lawmakers have made controversial comments on the subject. Last August, former Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) asserted that pregnancies resulting from rape are very rare because the female body “has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” And since then, other GOP politicians have suggested that pregnancies from rape are a “gift from God,” mocked rape exceptions as “little gotcha amendments,” and suggested abortion access for rape victims is unnecessary because ending a pregnancy will “put more violence on a woman’s body.”

NEW YORK — U.S. prosecutors have charged 49 current and former Russian diplomats and their family members with participating in a scheme to get health benefits intended for the poor by lying about their income. According to the charges, filed in November and unsealed on Thursday, the diplomats' families got around $1.5 million in benefits from the Medicaid program for families with very low monthly incomes - in many cases around $3,000 or less. The benefits covered costs related to pregnancies, births and infant care, the charges say. Meanwhile, according to the charges, the family members spent "tens of thousands of dollars" on vacations, jewelry and luxury goods from stores like Swarovski and Jimmy Choo. Each of the 49 people was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and one count of conspiracy to steal government funds and make false statements relating to healthcare matters, according to the charges. A spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Peter Donald, said no one was arrested. A person briefed on the matter said the diplomats all had diplomatic immunity and Russia would have to waive it in order for any arrests to be made. The person said U.S. prosecutors had coordinated with the U.S. State Department on the case. A spokeswoman for the State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Another person familiar with the matter said only a small number of the people charged were still living in the United States. The Russian mission to the United Nations was not immediately available for comment on the case. TRYING TO QUALIFY The charges say the defendants obtained letters to prove their false incomes from officials at the Russian UN mission, including a former counselor and a former second secretary, as well as from former top officials at the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in New York and the Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in the USA. Only two of the seven officials who allegedly signed off on the income letters are identified in the charges by name. The other five are referred to as unidentified co-conspirators. Timur Salomatin, a former Russian diplomat at the UN, and his wife Nailya Babaeva, said they made $3,000 a month when Salomatin's UN salary was actually $5,160 per month, according to the charges. Another couple, Andrey Kalinin and Irina Shirshova, lied about their income and monthly housing costs in order to be deemed eligible for Medicaid and also sought benefits from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, which subsidizes the cost of some types of foods and education. According to the charges, the family received more than $23,000 in Medicaid benefits over about three years. Some families also lied about their newborns' citizenship status, the charges say, because children born to many diplomats and their spouses do not automatically acquire U.S. citizenship the way others do. BLACKLISTS Hundreds of Russian diplomats and their families live in a compound in the Riverdale neighborhood in the Bronx. Russia has in recent years accused the United States of biased and politically motivated prosecution of its citizens, including jailed arms dealer Viktor Bout and Konstantin Yaroshenko, a pilot sentenced to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking. In response to a U.S. law enacted in December 2012 that bars Russians seen as human rights abusers from entering the United States, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed off that same month on a similar law barring Americans, including some U.S. Justice Department officials, from Russia. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, whose office brought the healthcare fraud charges, is among those banned from Russia.
On criticism of Goop “I admire her so much. It (the criticism) doesn’t faze her. I think it probably did initially. She said, ‘Mom, I’m going to get this all my life. This is how they see me.’ I feel she’s just extraordinarily accomplished in every area and people don’t like that, some people don’t like that, people who are bored and sit on their asses all day and just tap away. I mean I don’t read any of it, I just find it so disgusting. There is a coarsening of our culture today that is just so tragic.”

This is the time of year I start thinking of summer plans and summer vacation so I know what I need to save up for and get the best deals on reservations. My partner and I are such creatures of habit. We do the same thing every single year, and I'm tired of it. Every year we go to Ptown, rent a place, ride bikes, eat out, cook in. It's loads of fun but after a decade of that I need something new. Can any of you recommend a good destination for a vacation? We do have our criteria. It would be great to rent a place to stay instead of staying in a hotel, since we really like to cook. We live in NYC, so we don't necessarily need a big city destination, something laid back, relaxed would be nice. It doesn't necessarily have to be gay, but it is nice to be in the company of fellow travelers. We are east coast guys, so seeing something completely opposite might be fun - Texas, Colorado, California. I would love to hear what you you guys think.

In the meantime, Saatchi's new younger girlfriend admitted to having a life-threatening addiction when she was younger. But, you see, she's younger than Nigella... Saatchi 'trying to destroy' Nigella She said she had first taken the drug with her late husband John Diamond when he was terminally ill. Ms Lawson said she had taken it again in July 2010, after she felt she had been "subjected to intimate terrorism" by her ex-husband, Charles Saatchi. She made the admission at the trial at Isleworth Crown Court of her former assistants, who deny fraud. Francesca and Elisabetta Grillos' defence claims Ms Lawson allowed them spend on credit cards in return for covering up her drug use. Ms Lawson, 53, said she took cocaine with Mr Diamond on six occasions, after he found out his cancer was terminal. "It gave him some escape," she said. She said she had responsibility for looking after him and the family as well as earning a living - and that she had spoken to a doctor at the time. She went on: "There was another time I took cocaine. In July 2010 I was having a very, very difficult time. "I felt subjected to intimate terrorism by Mr Saatchi," she said, adding that she felt "isolated and in fear of... just unhappy". "A friend of mine offered me some cocaine, I took it," she said. Ms Lawson added it "completely spooked" her. "The idea that I am a drug addict, or habitual user of cocaine is absolutely ridiculous." Ms Lawson said Mr Saatchi "told everyone" he was taking cocaine out of her nose after he was photographed holding her neck at Scotts restaurant. She claimed the incident was actually sparked when she commented on a person walking past with a baby. "I said 'I'm so looking forward to having grandchildren'." "He grabbed me by the throat and said 'I'm the only person you should be concerned with'." Ms Lawson told the court she smoked cannabis in the last year of her marriage to Mr Saatchi. "I found it made an intolerable situation tolerable. It's a false friend and not a good idea. "I have to say, since freeing myself from a brilliant but brutal man, I'm now totally cannabis, cocaine, any drug-free." She said she did not know how to roll a cannabis joint but had asked others in her house to do so. "This was not behaviour I'm proud of," she added. Mr Saatchi was unaware that she was smoking cannabis, she told jurors, before admitting that she had not told him that she had taken cocaine once during their marriage. "It was a one-off," she said. "I felt by going to my GP I didn't feel a need to tell him." Ms Lawson said Elisabetta was aware she had taken cocaine in the past, but said claims that credit cards and envelopes containing white powder were left around the home she shared with Mr Diamond were "completely false". She admitted that Mr Diamond used rolled-up notes to take the drug. "John did but he carefully ironed them out," she said. "There is some misery you cannot escape." Ms Lawson said she was not a "habitual drug user and drug addict, or a snorter of cocaine for 10 years". Asked by Anthony Metzer QC, representing the Grillo sisters, where the drug claims may have come from, Ms Lawson replied: "I believe some of it came from your clients and Mr Saatchi - not the three most reliable witnesses." Ms Lawson said she believed Mr Saatchi was on a campaign to "ruin me in any way", whether financial or otherwise, and had a mindset of "get her, I don't care what it takes". Charles Saatchi sent an email to Ms Lawson claiming she had taken drugs "I think he likes everyone to do what he wants," she said. Ms Lawson said there was a "witch hunt" against her and that she felt like she was on trial with no counsel and "no rights". Earlier in the trial, jurors were read an email to Ms Lawson from her former husband in which he alleged that she had taken drugs. In response, she described the allegations as being "part of his plan of attack". She said she had hidden any drug use from Mr Saatchi, adding: "I could have weathered a conversation about it, I just wouldn't have wanted to."
Nigella Lawson admits to having used cocaine, but denies being a habitual user
Nigella Lawson told a jury on Wednesday that “acts of intimate terrorism” by her “brutal” ex-husband, Charles Saatchi, drove her to cocaine and cannabis use. The television cook said that she had succumbed to snorting cocaine in 2010 when she felt “ashamed, isolated and in fear” and also admitted to smoking cannabis “with or in front of” her children. On a day of intense drama at Isleworth Crown Court in west London, Miss Lawson said that Mr Saatchi was trying to “destroy” her by making public her drug use after his “menaces” failed to force her to return to him. Miss Lawson, 53, said she first used cocaine when her first husband, John Diamond, was fighting cancer before his death from the disease in 2001. Her admission came during the fraud trial of two former aides, but she repeatedly told a jury that she felt she was the one on trial and the victim of a “witch hunt” as she spent an entire day in the witness box.

Judge Robin Johnson told her she was entitled not to answer questions if she was at risk of incriminating herself. Then Mr Metzer asked her: “Are you or have you ever been a user of cocaine?” She replied: “I have never been a drug addict, I have never been a habitual user. There were two times in my life when I used cocaine. “One time was when my husband’s cancer was terminal and he was introduced to it, thinking it would help, and I did on maybe six occasions join in with him. “There was another time I took cocaine, in July of 2010. I was having a very, very difficult time. I felt subjected to acts of intimate terrorism by Mr Saatchi. I felt totally ashamed, isolated and in fear and just unhappy. A friend of mine offered me some cocaine and I took it. It completely spooked me … I didn’t have a drug problem, I had a life problem, and I needed to deal with it and went to a therapist.” She ridiculed the suggestion that she had used cocaine “daily” for 10 years, joking: “People who do that are a lot thinner than I am.” Miss Lawson said Mr Saatchi did not approve of drugs, but alleged that during his time running the Saatchi & Saatchi advertising agency “they brought in a big sack of cocaine every Friday,” which others took. Asked if she had ever taken cannabis, she struggled to keep her composure as she said: “I have. I would say with some shame, but I have to be honest, I have smoked the odd joint, starting, I would say, in the last year of my marriage to Mr Saatchi. “I found it made an intolerable situation tolerable. Since freeing myself from a brilliant but brutal man I am now totally cannabis, cocaine and illegal drug free.” Asked if she had ever smoked the drug “with or in front of” the couple’s children from previous relationships, she said: “I sometimes did, I’m afraid to say.” Miss Lawson also confirmed she had taken the antidepressant Xanax, but only in doses prescribed by her doctor and not in “excessive” amounts. At the close of the day’s proceedings, Miss Lawson was told that she would have to return on Thursday for further cross-examination. The row in Scott’s Turning to the couple’s public row in Scott’s restaurant in Mayfair in June, when Mr Saatchi was photographed grabbing Miss Lawson by the throat and tweaking her nose, she said: “He told everyone that he was taking cocaine out of my nose in Scott’s — that is a lie.

Photos on top left & bottom are new; photo on top right is the same one we saw earlier in the Fall.
I watched this again last night for the first time in years, and some of the images are still floating in my head today... whether all the pieces make sense or not (I think they don't), the overall story is still strong, given that it was a TV movie-pilot for a series and David Lynch went back later and cobbled it into a single movie. Some of the images are stronger than anything he's done before or since, and the music is beautiful and truly haunting. When you see it again, Naomi Watts' performance takes on a whole new depth of meaning; it's really an Oscar-level piece of acting. And Ann Miller's casting as the landlady becomes not just a campy hoot (which it is), but an important part of the story. I'm sure some people find it pretentious, or just something David Lynch made up as he went along. But does anyone else like it? (If you haven't seen it and you plan to, best to close this thread right now; the less you know going into "Mulholland Drive" the better.)

Fox%20News
Fox News is making the Republicans’ House hearing case for them by helping the GOP make the case for impeachment. The House is holding a hearing today (one of four ObamaCare hearings on your tax dollars) on “Presidential power”, alleging that President Obama disregarded the constitution when he tweaked the timing of the implementation of the individual mandate. This precedes impeachment, and that’s why they’re holding this hearing. Megyn Kelly did what Fox does best; she “raised the question” of whether or not Obama has violated his duty. Has the President substituted his judgment over the Congress’ judgment? Watch the December 2 edition of Fox News’ The Kelly File here via Media Matters First “Judge” Andrew Napolitano claimed Obama had let a large group of people off and refused to prosecute them for some kind of quid pro quo, but Megyn Kelly quickly steered him back to the Talking Point of the Day – Healthcare.gov, aka, ObamaScare. Stay on point, Andrew! Kelly reminded Napolitano that they are both lawyers so they know how things work. I beg to differ. I know plenty of ignorant lawyers. Knowing enough about the law to pass the bar says almost nil about understanding government, unless you are a constitutional lawyer (like the President). Or you’ve worked on government (like the President). Working on Fox “News” is a good indicator that you may have difficulty understanding logic and processing facts, or you have sold out so completely that your take on the “law” is pretty worthless. But I digress. Back to impeachments. So Andrew, who also thought the President should be impeached over the sequester pending cuts imposed by Republicans, championed by Republicans and crowed about by Republicans on Andrew’s very own network, announced that the President violated the constitution when he decided to give “exceptions/exemptions” from the obligation of the law to some groups and not to others. Kelly played fair cop with Napolitano. “That’s an administrative decision,” she barked. I might remind everyone here that Republicans in Congress make many such decisions – like how oil companies get subsidies but groups of poor people should not, or even other energy groups do not. Fox wants to indict on ideology, apparently. Kelly pretend-pushed him that the executive has the power to make these decisions, so that he could be set up to explain Why It’s Different This Time (aka, ‘cuz Obama did it). This is the Outrage When the Black Man Uses His Authority segment of the program, when the two very white people smirk disdainfully over the “power grab” (assertion of proper authority) of the black person. It’s all very Southern Strategy on Fox. So now we find out what Kelly is going for (aka, what the GOP leadership sent her re their hearing today). Delaying the individual mandate! Sure, “timing” used to fall under the purview of the executive branch, but not anymore, they tell us. The President may not change the date of implementation of a part of a law according to Napolitano. In reality, the President controls policy implementation. That’s his role in the process. By delaying the individual mandate, Obama is simply changing an implementation date, not rewriting the law. And now we come to the landing that sets up the Republican Congressional hearing today. “What’s the remedy, you say impeachment, but can you go into court and challenge him? Can you try to impeach him, how would that happen?” Kelly wonders. Sadly, Napolitano doesn’t think Obama will be impeached because of the experience “we had the last time when Bill Clinton’s eye was off the ball.” Yes. Never mind Iraq, WMD, Katrina, etc. Never mind Nixon. A breach of executive power is best exemplified in Foxland by the delaying of an implementation of a law these people don’t agree with. But Kelly is very sad because impeaching Clinton backfired against the poor Republicans and then Napolitano reminded everyone that if Clinton hadn’t been impeached he wouldn’t have ignored Osama bin Laden, even though he admits that bin Laden attacked “in the early days of the Bush administration”. These are the same people who will whine if you blame Bush correctly for the economic mess the country is in. In their minds, Clinton caused 911 because he should have left office when he was impeached. Try not to get lost in the crazy. Here’s the point of the hearings today, and this is important because it clues us into where they are going. Judge Napolitano tells us that the Republicans may enact a resolution, “Will it lead to impeachment? I don’t know, but it will further diminish and destroy the trust he (Obama) once had with the American people.” That resolution is what could lead to impeachment. Fox is trying to help the Republicans whip up a public fury to call for impeachment. This call for impeachment will be as good as an impeachment for them, because it will allow Republicans to use the soundbites and run against Obama in 2014 instead of having to come up with an actual platform. How does Napolitano know ahead of time, since this was taped yesterday, that Obama will be found guilty in these GOP-led House hearings? Oh, I kid. No one thinks that Republicans are looking for facts.

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are no longer. Sources tell me the couple has split after three years of marriage. A rep for Bloom exclusively confirms the breakup. "In a joint statement, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months," the rep said in a statement. "After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation." The statement continued, "Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family." The 36-year-old British actor and the 30-year-old Australian Victoria's Secret model began dating in 2007. They were married in July 2010 after announcing their engagment just a month beforehand. Kerr gave birth to their son, Flynn, on Jan. 6, 2011. She and Bloom were last photographed together by the paparazzi on Oct. 8. Their last public appearance was at the opening of Romeo and Juliet on Broadway on Sept. 19. Bloom is currently starring in the production with Condola Rashad. "When I saw Orlando on Broadway in Romeo and Juliet, I was blown away," Kerr said in the November issue of Cosmopolitan. "For someone to be able to learn all that and hold the energy to do it every day, six days a week—I have so much respect for him. We don't run lines though. We keep that very separate. That would be like me asking him to teach me how to catwalk." Bloom recently put his Hollywood Hills home on the market for $4.5 million. He had been renting it out for $16,500 a month while he and the family were living in NYC.

Reported incidents of bias against transgender students and others at Vassar College may have been a hoax perpetuated by a leader in the student government, Fox News’ Trace Gallagher reported Wednesday on "The Kelly File." The New York liberal arts college had been hit with a rash of bias incidents, with six being reported in a three month span by the school’s “Bias Incident Response Team,” which the school created as part of its Campus Life and Diversity Office. The incidents included hateful messages against transgender and African-American students spray-painted on school buildings. The school was so troubled by the incidents the Dean of College Life sent out a campus email, condemning the vandalism as “unacceptable.” The dean then sent out another email, claiming the two students responsible for the incidents had been caught by members of the “Bias Incident Response Team.” However, as Gallagher reported, the dean reportedly neglected to mention one of those responsible was a member of the “Bias Incident Response Team,” and was the school’s vice president of student life. The student is also transgender. Both students reportedly quit the school after the incident. Vassar declined to comment to Fox News, saying “it is a privacy matter.”

In what is easily the best news we've heard all damned day, Deadline, has learned that Dan Knauf, creator of the cult HBO series "Carnivale," has joined NBC’s upcoming 10-episode series "Dracula" as showrunner/head writer, working with series creator Cole Haddon. NBC's "Dracula" will feature Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("The Tudors", Shelter, Velvet Goldmine) as the iconic vampire. The series, from producers Tony Krantz and Colin Callender and writer Cole Haddon, is being produced for both NBC and the UK’s Sky Living. It was originally bought by NBC in January with a “script-to-series” commitment, meaning that it wouldn’t go through a pilot stage but straight to series if NBC brass liked the script. "Dracula" is produced by Krantz’s Flame Ventures, Callender’s Playground Entertainment, Universal TV, and NBCU International Prods.’ Carnival Films & Television, the company behind "Downton Abbey". Krantz and Callender are executive producing the series with Gareth Neame and Anne Mensah. Haddon and Flame’s Reece Pearson co-executive produce. Based on an idea by Krantz, it is set in the 1890s and has been described as “Dangerous Liaisons meets 'The Tudors,'” which is fitting given that "Tudors" star Meyers has been tapped to play the title role. The new series reunites Meyers with NBC's Bob Greenblatt, who cast the Irish actor in "The Tudors" while running Showtime. As a producer, Greenblatt gave Meyers his first starring role in the CBS telefilm Elvis, which was overseen by Universal TV EVP Bela Bajaria, then head of CBS’ movies and miniseries division. In the NBC/Sky Living series Dracula (Meyers) arrives in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who maintains that he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality he hopes to wreak revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier but falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife. “It is a timeless tale with relevant, surprising twists and turns with the exquisite Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the marquee role,” Bajaria said.

Wonder Woman is back! Makes the Kaley episode even more inexplicable. It's a prospect that will upset many women, and probably a few men, but is Hollywood actor Henry Cavill getting back together with his ex-girlfriend? The handsome Man of Steel star was seen dining with Gina Carano in Rome, Italy, earlier this week. The 30 year-old performer, who is currently filming The Man From U.N.C.L.E. with director Guy Ritchie in the ancient city, took a break from his hectic schedule to spend an evening with the brunette. Wearing a white linen shirt with indigo blue jeans and brown brogues, he looked the epitome of smart/casual. Meanwhile, Gina wore a semi-sheer green jumper over a black bra top and leather-effect leggings. Keeping it casual, she scraped her hair back into a ponytail and appeared to wear little make-up. Seated outside a romantic restaurant, where they shared a bottle of red wine, the pair looked relaxed and happy as they toasted each others' company. In fact, they looked every inch the couple as they exchanged warm, familiar banter, which frequently resulted in laughter. Hours later they were seen leaving the venue together. Aside from a brief fling with Kaley Cuoco, Cavill has remained one of Hollywood's most eligible men since he and Carano separated.

A tragic accident took the life of Bill Beckwith. The 38-year-old cohost of HGTV's show Curb Appeal was struck by a car and killed while riding his motorcycle in San Francisco's Lower Haight neighborhood, according to local reports. The incident occurred near the corner of Oak and Steiner streets at roughly 8:30 p.m. Monday, police said. He died at San Francisco General Hospital. "The HGTV family is deeply saddened by Bill's tragic death, and we mourn his loss along with his many family and friends who will miss his creativity, adventurous spirit and general love of life," the network said in a statement obtained by E! News. "The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and is cooperative with police investigators," police said in a statement. "[Beckwith] was transported to [San Francisco General Hospital] where he died from injuries sustained in the collision. " A Facebook page in Beckwith's memory was created earlier today, and his girlfriend, Yulia Korneeva, wrote on the page, "My love: so kind, so bright, adventurous and strong. You are loved by so many good people! I wish you could stay with us for way longer." A memorial is being organized by family members, and is scheduled to take place on Sunday. Beckwith, a native of Maine and University of Montana graduate, founded his San Francisco company BB Design Build in 2001, which specialized in cabinetry and finish work. He went on to star on Curb Appeal, a half-hour reality show that features makeovers on the exteriors of dated homes.

The conceit behind The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told is easy to grasp. Instead of Adam and Eve frolicking naked in the Garden of Eden, it's Adam and Steve who are the primordial couple. When they meet up with an equally primordial lesbian couple and decide to start a civilization, hilarity ensues. The sacrilege was deliberate and gleeful, but what reviewers homed in on when the play debuted off Broadway in 1998 was the compassionate spirit that was layered underneath. As The New York Times' Ben Brantley put it at the time, "there's reverence in [playwright Paul] Rudnick's irreverence, an earnest warmth beneath the frivolity." Religious conservatives, particularly in the south, however, prefer their "earnest warmth" to be Biblically accurate and free of homosexuality, which is why they have protested the play in the past and continue to do so as it makes its way through the nation's heartland. In Oklahoma City, dozens of pastors have objected to the presentation of the play, calling it "obscene" and "an affront to Oklahoma City community standards." Here in Dallas, the Uptown Players' scheduled production at the Kalita Humphreys Theater will be picketed this weekend by America Needs Fatima, which describes itself as a "nonprofit campaign made up of Catholic citzens united in a common goal: To win the heart and soul of America for Mary, our Blessed Mother." Robert Ritchie, the group's executive director, penned an outraged call to action on Sunday, alerting Dallas Catholics that "They will call Our Lady a lesbian in your city!!!" "This is blasphemy," Ritchie writes. "I ask -- will God bless those who allow His Holy Mother to be dragged into the dirt of lesbian insults? Will He allow the Immaculate Conception to be turned into a homosexual party game?" Considering that the play is 15 years old and has been shown countless times in New York and elsewhere, the answer seems to be yes. Whether he will allow the Uptown Players to stage their version remains to be seen, though it's doubtful that they will be stopped by ANF's Rosary of Reparation.

I know the gays aren't OK with them but their sandwiches are just so tasty, dammit!
Coming up on its anniversary. Let's discuss it again.
Josh is in rehab. Diane is free. His counselors gave him extra vitamin valium.
What do you suppose would have possibly caused Maks'' legs to suddenly give way like that just seconds into their dance? It''s as if they just couldn''t stand some sort of strain a second longer!
Is this media speak for not having your contract renewed?
Shocked adults reportedly scrambled to cover the eyes and ears of children watching. Unsuspecting audiences expecting to enjoy Disney’s animated movie “Frozen” in a Tampa, Florida movie theater were recently shown the sexually explicit trailer for “Nymphomaniac,” Lars von Trier’s art house film about sex addiction. “They put in the filler, it looked like Steamboat Willie, the old Mickey Mouse cartoon, and then all of a sudden it goes into this other scene,” said Lynn Greene to Tampa’s Fox affiliate. The trailer is so graphic that a preview clip was removed from YouTube in November for violating the terms of sexual content and nudity. Adults at the theater reportedly covered their children’s eyes and ears, while others rushed out of the theater. “It seemed like forever when you’re trying to, you know, cover a little guy’s eyes,” continued Greene. “I didn’t have enough hands to cover his ears too and he got the sound down real good.”

After all Tom is just 19 and may lack the sexual experience of Dustin's typical partner. We can certainly assume Dustin has sucked Tom's cock. Do you think Tom has reciprocated yet? Do you think Dustin has touched Tom's asshole yet?

She was afraid of pissing off the country music establishment by being knocked up. But it is 2013 and women have kids out of wedlock all the time. Why would her fan base in red states be offended if she was pregnant with no ring?
Extensions?
End of days!!! End of Days!!!!
I'll start: the Jonai. They have swarthy dark features and numerous moles that make them resemble those of the Middle East or North Africa.
It's sad and I feel bad for his family, but I don't see how he rates the continual coverage. He wasn't that famous or that great of an actor.
What famous men have you slept with?

It's been seven months since Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete left The Talk, and now Remini is finally ready to spill the beans about their surprise exits. On Monday, Remini blamed co-host Sharon Osbourne, 59, for getting them axed from the CBS talk show. "Sharon thought me and Holly were 'ghetto'. . . we were not funny, awkward and didn't know ourselves," Remini, 41, tweeted. "She has the power that was given to her." (Remini was tweeting in response to a radio interview Osbourne had done with Howard Stern, 58.) Osbourne denied Remini's claims via Twitter Tuesday, saying: "In response to Leah Remini's continuous comments that I had her fired from The Talk, let me just go on the record to say I had absolutely nothing to do with her departure from the show and have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip." Leah knows that I have never been in the position to hire or fire anyone on the show," Osbourne added. "That being said, my only wish is that Leah would just stop all this negative, unprofessional and childish behavior. It's been seven months. . .it's time to move on. Leah is a very talented actress and I only wish her happiness and success." She concluded: "I know that better things are to come if she can just get beyond all this negativity." Remini didn't stop tweeting, though. On Wednesday, she argued that Osbourne "just wants publicity out of this" and said she has no intention of keeping quiet. "If someone wants me to stop, they should call a lawyer and tell them what I am NOT telling the truth about," Remini told her followers. "We can go from there."
It speaks for itself.
He seems kind and considerate for the most part, with some bitchy fun comments thrown in. But caring, a churchgoer, a Democrat, a hard worker and not showy when it comes to his own wealth. Why do people fault him for not saving the coterie of druggers who clung to him?
Look at this photo from the 2012 Olympics. It's like he was auditioning for Sean Cody.
