[bold]Brave Australian Olympic Games champion Ian Thorpe tells: I’m gay [/bold] AFTER years of personal struggle, Olympic hero Ian Thorpe has bravely revealed he is gay. The 31-year-old confirms his sexuality for the first time tonight in an exclusive interview on Channel 10, telling all to veteran British interviewer Sir Michael Parkinson. It’s understood the interview, which Parkinson has described as one of the best he has ever conducted, includes a full admission from Thorpe that he is gay despite having dated women in the past. In the emotional sit-down shot last month, Thorpe also details the years of depression he has battled while denying his sexuality from the world.

I recently watched shame and speculated that the two main characters were molested when they were young. One turned to be a sex addict, the other clingy. What are your thoughts on the movie and sexual abuse in general?
torture, murder, imprison Palestinian people. I've watched these bullies, elect and re-elect a murdering thug (Netanyahu). I'm tired of seeing THAT kind of country get so much of our tax money. If Israel was demolished, I could find no sympathy in my heart for them. I have had it with Israel and their culture of war. I really want to see them gone. I'm talking about the hatred I feel for a country...not an ethnic group, so do not bother to say I have a problem with Jewish people, I don't. I hate the Israeli government and I think it's very possible that many Jews hate the Israeli government.
I was recently looking at Fassbender's imdb page and noticed that he had 8 projects lined up. Holy cow that's a lot. He must be well respected in the film industry to be able to work so much.

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

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

Everyone has heard about Marlon and the girl in Last Tango, and Chloe and Vincent Gallo in Brown Bunny..but why don't we see it more? And for that matter, when it happens, is it usually the result of a director taking things too far, or desperate and/or drugged, out of control actors doing what they do best? Remember that 90s flick The Lover by Jean-Jacques Annaud? At one point you see actor Tony Leung's dick slip into the 16 year-old actress playing Marguerite Duras. In a case like this, would people blame the director or the actress/actor? Is there any way it would help any of their careers, or would it just brand ayone associated with the incident as irresponsible and unreliable?

SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Friday denied Utah's bid to further block legal recognition of about 1,300 same-sex weddings performed after the state's gay marriage ban was briefly lifted by a federal judge in December. But the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also left intact an existing temporary stay against a ruling requiring Utah to recognize the legitimacy of those marriages, giving the state time to seek a lengthier injunction from the U.S. Supreme Court. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes immediately vowed to do that in the next few days. U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby in Salt Lake City ruled in December that a voter-passed law restricting marriage to heterosexual couples only was unconstitutional, clearing the way for same-sex couples in the socially conservative and heavily Mormon state to wed. But the Supreme Court in Washington reinstated the gay marriage ban just 17 days later, issuing a stay of Shelby's ruling that halted further gay and lesbian nuptials until Utah's appeal of that decision had run its course. Utah refused to confer legal recognition of gay and lesbian marriages performed in the interim, leaving those couples unable to proceed with adoptions, obtain spousal health insurance benefits or legally change their names. Four newlywed same-sex couples then filed a separate lawsuit to get the state to recognize their marital status, winning a decision in May from another federal judge that their marriages were valid. But that judge also temporarily stayed his own ruling to let Utah petition for a lengthier injunction pending appeal. The 10th Circuit on Friday denied that request for a permanent injunction. Utah argued that legal recognition for newly married same-sex couples before the final outcome of the underlying legal battle over gay marriage would cause greater confusion. Were the state to prevail, Utah officials said, gay and lesbian marriages performed last winter would be invalidated, stripping away the benefits conferred on them. But the 10th Circuit said Utah failed to show irreparable harm would result from letting already married gay couples obtain spousal benefits. The same three-judge panel in June upheld Shelby's decision. It marked the first time a federal appeals court had ruled on the merits of such a case since the Supreme Court decided a year ago that legally married same-sex couples nationwide were eligible for federal benefits. Reyes said on Thursday he would appeal Shelby's ruling to the Supreme Court rather than seek reconsideration from the full 10th Circuit. There are now 19 states, plus the District of Columbia, where same-sex marriage is legal. In another nine states, including Utah, federal judges have struck down bans on same-sex marriage but the rulings have been put on hold pending appeal.

...as in, waiting to sleep with a guy until the third date if you're interested in pursuing a serious relationship with him? It seems really old-fashioned to me, but my (gay) friend claims it helps him weed out guys who are just interested in a quick hookup, even if they pretend to be interested in something longer-term. Like, if they want to fuck on the first date they might be thinking, "I'm not serious about this but at least I'll get some sex from meeting you," and probably won't keep in touch after. But if they're willing to invest the time to get to know you better through conversation and shared activities, there's a higher chance they actually like you and will stick around for something more serious. By the way, this applies if you're going on "dates" and not just meeting random guys for hookups. And I'm sure there are exceptions, but I was wondering if there was some truth to it, of if it's just a relic of older sexual standards, mainly for straight women.

I have a friend- really a fuck buddy- and the other day he brought his poppers with him. I am 45 and I have never done poppers. But he asked to try them and I did. I liked the feeling somewhat but I wonder about the after effects. Have you ever used poppers, or stopped using them? How safe are they- and is everyone unique in how they effect you? I have heard of straight people using them. And I got a bad headache after using them - is that normal?

Daniel Craig can't hog that role forever eventually, he'll have to step down. I think Fassbender would do well in the role based on his performances in inglourious basterds as well as shame. I hope he gets the role; then he could be the next Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise.
Gets a rave review in Guardian. I find it fascinating that Linklater kept the filming a secret for so many years (for those who don't know about the film, it chronicles the life of a boy and his family over 11 real years). He is a great director and I love that he is not a shameless self-promoter. He just sort of keeps it really quiet and announces his films when they're ready to be shown. Any other DLers like his work?
Now that it's been canceled, staffers from Rosies disastrous talk show are coming forward with behind-the-scenes revelations about what really went on with the former Queen of Nice. “It was such a fucking hellhole,” one former staffer told The Daily Beast in an in-depth look at what went wrong with the show. There were O'Donnell's frequent clashes with The Rosie Show staff, and the host often lost her temper. During one taping last fall, "O’Donnell uncontrollably yelled at a publicist backstage because she didn’t like the parameters agreed upon for an interview." Several staffers were also very upset "when O’Donnell clashed with Oprah Winfrey’s longtime director Joe Terry. People thought she humiliated him when she scolded him in front of a live audience for using the wrong camera shots, suggesting he didn’t know what he was doing. She fired Winfrey’s stage manager because she felt like he was ignoring her and not doing his job properly." She was also unhappy with her bandleader, Katreese Barnes from Saturday Night Live, because he couldn’t play obscure Broadway songs off the cuff right when she named them on live TV. “I’m not upset that I don’t know Into the Woods by heart. A little heads-up would have been nice," Barnes said. And in what is seen as a final insult to the staff, on Friday, when the cancellation was publicly announced with a glowing statement by Oprah Winfrey herself, Rosie was not in Chicago to personally break the news to her crew. She was in New York tweeting about what a great time she was having on Broadway.
Rosie O'Donnell's OWN Show Was 'Fucking Hellhole' Says Staffer
[quote]Rosie O'Donnell has made her deal with "The View" ... sources connected with the negotiations tell TMZ. We're told the show will make the announcement shortly. TMZ broke the story ... the negotiations fired up a few days ago and the deal was almost completed by end of business day Monday. The deal is now complete. Rosie will join Whoopi Goldberg on the show. As we reported, producers are also looking for a Latina and a conservative. Two conservative candidates who are being scoped are Abby Huntsman and Margaret Hoover.
I’ve kept up with Sons of Anarchy over the years, but I was pretty much hate-watching the last two seasons. It was hard to keep up with all the plot twists, allegiances and double-crossing and at times I didn’t bother. There were some excellent subplots, particularly the one involving Walton Goggins (Justified) as a transgender escort named Venus. Plus I really loved the shock ending this last season. We got to see a character whom I found particularly grating meet a spectacular end. (I know that sounds terrible, but it’s just a show!) The good news is that Goggins is set to return to Sons of Anarchy this upcoming and last eighth season, which premieres this fall. The questionable news is that producers have announced two other guest stars that sound like stunt casting: Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson. ........ The FX drama has tapped rocker Courtney Love to join Season 7 in a pivotal, multi-episode arc, TVLine has learned exclusively. In what marks her dramatic TV acting debut, Love will play Ms. Harrison, the straight-shooting preschool teacher of Jax’s eldest son, Abel. Look for Love’s educator to take a special interest in Abel — which will likely spark an interesting reaction from the boy’s mother Wendy (newly-minted series regular Drea de Matteo). Love, who put the brakes on her acting career of late, won raves (and a Golden Globe nod) for her supporting work in 1996′s The People vs. Larry Flynt. Roles in the Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon and the Kiefer Sutherland drama Beat followed. This is hardly the first time SOA has gone to the music well to cast key parts. Dave Navarro recurred as a gang member in Seasons 5 and 6. And Marilyn Manson is set to appear in Season 7 as a prison power player who has dealings with Jax. [From TV Line] ......... Courtney Love can act, I remember her turn in The People vs. Larry Flynt. That was in 1996 though, her brain is surely addled from whatever she’s done to it in two decades. I would be surprised if she’s at all reliable and able to consistently show up on set. As far as Marilyn Manson, the only time I’ve ever seen him in anything was in Bowling for Columbine, where he thoughtfully addressed the allegations that his music negatively influenced the Columbine killers. He was pretty soft spoken and I was impressed at how intelligent he came across. Rewatching that interview makes me wonder whether he’ll be in his stage makeup for SOA. I bet he’ll at least wear guyliner, like Navarro did for his brief story arc.

torture, murder, imprison and kidnap Israelis and oppress their own people, especially. I've watched these bullies, elect and re-elect a murdering thug (Mahmoud Abbas). I'm tired of seeing THAT kind of country get so much of our tax money. If "Palestine" was demolished, I could find no sympathy in my heart for them. I have had it with "Palestine" or ANY of the Middle East states and their culture of war. And Islam is the culprit. I really want to see them gone and Israel take over everything in the Middle East. Everything.

Gravity star says paper has crossed 'far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence' Actor George Clooney has accused the Daily Mail of concocting a false and irresponsible story about his fiancée, the human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin. He issued a strongly-worded statement to the popular American national newspaper, USA Today, following the publication of a Mail article which claimed that Alamuddin's mother, Baria, opposed their forthcoming marriage on religious grounds. It cited unnamed family members as its source. Clooney wrote: "I want to speak to the irresponsibility of Monday's Daily Mail report. I seldom respond to tabloids, unless it involves someone else and their safety or well being. The Daily Mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiancée's mother opposing our marriage for religious reasons. It says Amal's mother has been telling 'half of Beirut' that she's against the wedding. It says they joke about traditions in the Druze religion that end up with the death of the bride. Let me repeat that: the death of the bride." In his statement he dismantled the key details of the Mail's story: "None of the story is factually true. Amal's mother is not Druze. She has not been to Beirut since Amal and I have been dating, and she is in no way against the marriage." But that, in his view, was not "the issue." After claiming that he is used to the Mail "making up stories" about him, he argued that "this lie involves larger issues." He wrote: "The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous. We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal." Clooney, 53, whose father was a TV journalist and broadcaster, continued: "I'm the son of a newsman; I accept the idea that freedom of speech can be an inconvenience to my private life from time to time." But he was concerned by the fact that the Mail's false story had been picked up by hundreds of other outlets, such as Boston.com, New York Daily News, Gulf News and Emirates 24/7. Daily Mail story on George Clooney's fiancée Daily Mail story on George Clooney's fiancée He concluded his statement by writing: "The Daily Mail, more than any other organisation that calls itself news, has proved time and time again that facts make no difference in the articles they make up. "And when they put my family and my friends in harm's way, they cross far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence. They must be so very proud." He cited three "idiotic" and false stories that the Mail has fabricated about him and Alamuddin: she was pregnant, their marriage will take place on the set of Downton Abbey and he is running for political office. These are, he claims, stories "they sit at their computers and invent." The latest Mail Online version of the story is different from the one published in the newspaper on Monday. It was amended six hours after it was originally posted on the website. But it still states that Alamuddin's mother, Baria, "is not so impressed" with Clooney and "wanted her to marry within their strict Lebanese religious sect, according to close family friends." USA Today reports that the Mail "did not respond to requests for comment."

Requiescat in pace. Drummer and producer Tommy Ramone, the last surviving original member of the influential New York punk quartet the Ramones, died Friday at his home in the Ridgewood area of Queens, New York. He was 62 and had been in hospice care following treatment for bile duct cancer. Born Erdelyi Tamas in Budapest, Hungary, and known professionally as Tom or T. Erdelyi, Ramone played on the first three epoch-making Ramones albums, “Ramones” (1976), “Leave Home” (1977) and “Rocket to Russia” (1977). He also co-produced the latter two albums with Tony Bongiovi and Ed Stasium, respectively. He appeared on and co-produced the 1979 live Ramones opus “It’s Alive.” After leaving the Ramones to concentrate on studio work, he co-produced the band’s 1984 album “Too Tough to Die” with Stasium. He was replaced in the lineup by Marc Bell (Marky Ramone), a former member of Dust and Richard Hell’s Voidoids. One of the first high-profile releases to emerge from New York’s punk underground of the mid-‘70s, “Ramones” – reportedly recorded in six days on a budget of $6,400 – brought a pared-down, hyperactive style to the stuffy rock scene of the day. Tommy’s driving, high-energy drum work was the turbine that powered the leather-clad foursome’s loud, antic sound. Tom Erdelyi emigrated to America in 1957 and grew up in Forest Hills, Queens, where he played with guitarist John Cummings – later Johnny Ramone – in Tangerine Puppets. He went on to study engineering and worked at the Record Plant (where he assisted on a 1969 Jimi Hendrix session) and other facilities. The Ramones coalesced with the addition of fellow Queens musicians Jeffrey Hyman (aka lead singer Joey Ramone) and Douglas Colvin (bassist Dee Dee Ramone). Breaking in their act at Hilly Krystal’s Bowery club CBGB, the band was signed to Seymour Stein’s Sire Records, also the home of such other punk acts as Richard Hell, Talking Heads and the Dead Boys. The Ramones finally disbanded in 1996 after a show at the Palace in Hollywood. Joey Ramone died of lymphoma in 2001; Dee Dee succumbed to a drug overdose in 2002; and Johnny expired from prostate cancer in 2004. The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Erdelyi’s other production credits included the Replacements’ major label debut “Tim” (1985) and L.A. punk unit Redd Kross’ “Neurotica” (1987). In later years, he went the acoustic route, playing bluegrass and country music with his partner Claudia Tienan in Uncle Monk. He is survived by Tienan and an older brother. A private funeral service is planned.

There is evidence at least 20 prominent figures - including former MPs and government ministers - abused children for "decades", a former child protection manager has claimed. Peter McKelvie, whose allegations led initially to a 2012 police inquiry, said a "powerful elite" of paedophiles carried out "the worst form" of abuse. The government has already announced two reviews into claims of abuse. The Home Office's top civil servant will appear before MPs later. BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson said the child abuse probes had been spurred on by "dramatic shifts in public attitudes". Permanent secretary Mark Sedwill will face questions from the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee about his department's handling of child abuse allegations made over a 20-year period. 'Almost exclusively boys' Announcing the reviews in the House of Commons on Monday, Home Secretary Theresa May said the first would be a wide-ranging inquiry - similar to the inquiry into the Hillsborough disaster - led by an independent panel of experts on law and child protection. The second review - which is to be led by head of the NSPCC Peter Wanless - would cover how police and prosecutors handled information given to them, she told MPs.

Home Secretary Theresa May: "With allegations as serious as these, the public needs to have complete confidence" The chairman of the wider inquiry is expected to be named and the inquiry's terms of reference are set to be unveiled on Tuesday. These may or may not include allowing evidence from alleged victims of abuse. Following the announcements, Mr McKelvie - giving his first television interview for 20 years - told the BBC he believed there was evidence to link a number of former politicians to an alleged paedophile network. "I would say we are looking at upwards of 20 (people) and a much larger number of people who have known about it and done nothing about it, who were in a position to do something about it," he said. Mr McKelvie said some of those who were alleged to have abused children had now died. He told the BBC he had spoken to victims over "many, many years" and that children - "almost exclusively boys" - were moved around like "lumps of meat". They had been subjected to the "worst form of abuse", including rape, he said. Mr McKelvie was a child protection manager in Hereford and Worcester and worked on the conviction of paedophile Peter Righton - a former consultant to the National Children's Bureau. Righton, who is now dead, was also a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), before he was convicted of importing child pornography. However, Mr McKelvie told the BBC that the evidence discovered in the case went much further than simply Righton. 'Boxes of evidence' Mr McKelvie - who had access to documents relating to paedophile networks linked to the Righton inquiry - said he told police in 2012 there were seven boxes of potential evidence being stored by West Mercia police. He said the evidence included letters between Righton and other alleged paedophiles. In 2012, Mr McKelvie took his concerns to Labour MP Tom Watson, who then raised the matter in Parliament, prompting a preliminary police inquiry in 2012 that became a formal inquiry in 2013.

So many Youtube stars who regularly get millions of views on a weekly basis. They can make a living off of it. It's quite mind boggling. And they're mostly all awful and stupid. Kids these days are easily entertained. And for the most part the mainstream media totally ignores them. It's a strange phenomenon. For example, Lohanthony. The popular and super gay Youtube star posted a new video on his channel and it's now trending on Twitter.

He's been vacationing on the beautiful islands off Spain for the last few days. And on Friday, Will Smith took the action to the water, spotted aboard a luxury yacht off the coast of Formentera. The 45-year-old actor showed off his sculpted physique in just a pair of white shorts, much to the thrill and approval of onlookers. The Men In Black star was joined by a large group of fellow yacht passengers, getting their tan on in the sunshine. They were all pictured gazing curiously at something below the aquatic vessel, with one pal excitedly pointing something out to his friends. Earlier in the day, Will was seen waving at fans while aboard a much smaller boat, clad in a light blue shirt and the same shorts. On Thursday, the father-of-three was pictured on the beach in Ibiza, having been living it up in the party hotspot the previous evening. He apparently caught the eye of a bevy of beauties, who followed him around the beach, eager to get a photo with him - a topless woman among them. Will is vacationing without wife Jada Pinkett-Smith and their children, Jaden, 16, and Willow, 13. He also has son Trey, 21, from a previous marriage.
Touchy and smiley.

A new survey by The Commonwealth Fund, whose mission is “to promote a high performing health care system,” finds that an overwhelming majority of Americans approve of the health care plans they have purchased through the various Obamacare exchanges. Out of all of the findings in the survey, here are some of the ones that could prove to be most problematic for Republicans: 78 percent of Republicans, and 85 percent of independents who responded said that they were very or somewhat optimistic that their new health coverage will improve their ability to get the care they need. 61 percent of those who were uninsured before Obamacare said they are better off now than they were before they selected their new insurance plan. 52 percent of those who already had insurance also believe that their new Obamacare plan is better than their old one. 74 percent of Republicans and 82 percent of independents said that they were very or somewhat satisfied with their new insurance plan. It is also worth noting that out of that 74 percent of Republicans, those who reported being “very satisfied” with their new plan outnumbered those who were only “somewhat satisfied” by 44 percent to 30 percent. Perhaps the most troubling information in this report in terms of Republican hopes for the 2014 election is the number of independents who approve of their Obamacare plans. Republicans need to hang on to most Republican voters, which may not be a huge problem even if they attempt to run on repealing the Affordable Care Act. But more important than that, they have to win a majority of independent voters. If 82 percent of independents believe that they have been helped by Obamacare, how likely are they to step into the voting booth and pull the lever for a Republican whose stated mission if elected or re-elected is to repeal the law? Other findings in the Commonwealth survey that blow Republican talking points out of the water include: 54 percent said that their Obamacare plan gave them access to some or all of the doctors they wanted. (39 percent said they didn’t know what doctors were included.) 75 percent of those with new coverage said they found it very or somewhat easy to find a primary care doctor. 67 percent of those who found a new primary care doctor were able to get an appointment with that doctor in two weeks or less. 30 percent of adults with new coverage needed to see a specialist. 58 percent of those were able to get an appointment with that specialist in two weeks or less.

It was terrifying enough when police this week found skeletal remains in a woman's New York City apartment and learned that they belonged to the tenant's mother. In a twist straight out of a Alfred Hitchcock movie, the New York Post reports that Chava Stirn had been sleeping next to her mother's corpse for three years. The 28-year-old Brooklyn woman also propped up the remains of her mother, 61-year-old Susie Rosenthal, at the dinner table and dressed her up. "It’s a scene right out of ‘Psycho,'" an anonymous cop told the tabloid. "This is one of the weirdest cases I’ve ever seen." Stirn would reportedly set up Rosenthal's bones on a bed of trash bags in the kitchen, and would pull a chair near the remains to sleep at night. The Post reports: She refused to let anyone inside the apartment, so a relative would sometimes leave food outside her door, the police sources said. Neighbors often heard strange noises coming from the apartment. “When I listened, she was screaming . . . [She yelled] ‘I kill myself, I kill myself!’ ” said Malka Lerner, 41. Police entered the 15th Avenue residence in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn when they recieved a call about a foul smell on Monday. Stirn allegedly said she wanted to harm herself and was taken in for a psychiatric evaluation, as police searched the home. Another neighbor told DNAInfo that the odor was overpowering. "I've never smelled something like that before," Amin Ashrafov said. It's yet unclear what caused Rosenthal's death.

I have only heard bad things, but have never had the misfortune of a being stuck with their insurance. However, I family member who is a member, who does nothing but complain about depression stress, and other increasingly worrisome psychological ailments. I say "Go see a psychologist;" they say "It's Kaiser, it's not that easy!" My question is: How does it work? I believe they have an HMO, but might be wrong. Interestingly enough, I did a fairly extensive search for provider, and come up with nothing--- just a number for their behavioral health centers. Can you not just see an in-network psychologist? Do they really make it harder than all of the other insurance providers?
As President Obama heads to Texas to talk with Governor Rick Perry about the surge of undocumented children from Latin America crossing the border, Australia is facing a long-simmering immigration crisis of its own. For years, refugees from Asia have boarded unsafe boats and tried to land Down Under, sometimes with tragic results. An Australia-bound boat carrying 200 men sank in June 2012, with about 90 people suspected to have died. That was just one of a series of fatal incidents since 2010 in which boat people died trying to find refuge in Australia. Tony Abbott, the conservative prime minister who won election last year while promising to crack down on asylum seekers, is determined to avoid the fate of his Labor Party predecessors. Julia Gillard, prime minister at the time of the 2012 sinking, fumbled the immigration issue and eventually became the victim of a party coup by former premier Kevin Rudd—who went on to lose the general election to Abbott’s Liberal-National coalition in September. “It is indisputable that the right to seek and enjoy asylum applies to people regardless of their mode of arrival,” the Australian Human Rights Commission said in a statement published Friday. “It would be a flagrant violation of international human rights and refugee law to return asylum seekers to their country [of] origin without conducting a fair and robust assessment of their claims.” Abbott doesn’t seem to mind. Undeterred by the criticism, he also wants to send back another 153 Sri Lankan Tamils recently intercepted at sea in a separate boat. In an interview with Australian television’s Channel Nine today, he said Australia won’t be held “over a moral barrel” on the issue.

I know he found fame from FNL, but he had some pretty significant flops (John Carter, Savages, Battleship) all within 6 months. How the fuq is he being offered a lead role for the new season of True Detective? In what universe does he follow Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConehey (sp?)?
Agree or disagree? His acting in this film has been much maligned, but I'm watching it for the first time in years, and it's actually very good as "Death" who is adjusting to being, and pretending to be, a mortal. Anthony Hopkins' acceptance of death is also a wonderful moment of acting and representative of how many would want to face and accept death.
Exorcist writer William Peter Blatty is metaphorically vomiting split pea soup on the very institution that inspired his blockbuster book and multi-million dollar film franchise. The 85-year-0ld horror writer has gone on the record saying that Georgetown University, where the Exorcist was originally set and where he earned his Master’s degree in 1950, failed to adhere to Catholic principles, and should therefore be stripped of its Jesuit affiliation. Blatty is outraged by the university’s commitment to and support of the LGBT community, most notably the appointment of Georgetown’s first openly gay student body president, Nate Tisa, in March. Other reasons for his drama? The university once hosted the “the vile play” The Vagina Monologues. The university invited openly gay Georgetown alum Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) to give a speech on campus The university provides sexual health education to students, including a pro-choice advocacy group. In the past, Blatty has credited the scholarship he received from the university for helping to launch his writing career. Evidently, however, enough time has passed that he feels it’s okay to bite the hand that once fed him. Two months after Tisa was appointed student body president, Blatty began circulating a 198-page petition condemning the university for promoting a culture of “moral relativism” and an ideology of “radical autonomy.” Along with the petition, Blatty’s lawyer, Manuel A. Miranda, released the following statement: “The Petition we submit today is 198 pages, 476 footnotes, 91 appendices, 124 witness statements, a commissioned 120-page institutional audit of Georgetown, a sworn certification of facts, and a legal opinion. We have documented 23 years of Scandals and dissidence, over 100 Scandals in the most recent years alone.” Seriously? He could have written a new book with the work that went into 198 pages, 476 footnotes, 91 appendices, and 124 witness statements. The petition garnered more than 2,000 signatures from Georgetown alumni, and was sent to Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, along with the ultimatum: either better regulate the university, or strip it of its Catholic identity. “The petition’s primary aim is very much akin to pressuring someone that you love very much into going into rehab,” Blatty told the New York Times. In response to the Blatty’s petition, 1,200 Georgetown alumni, students, parents, teachers, and other supporters delivered their own petition to the Cardinal, asking that the university be allowed to continue to call itself Catholic and Jesuit. Georgetown’s Director of Communications Rachel Pugh released the following statement: “Our Catholic and Jesuit identity on campus has never been stronger. Academically, we remain committed to the Catholic intellectual tradition… We are proud of the countless ways that our students put their faith into action through service and justice programs.” Blatty, of course, was none to happy about this. On July 1, he responded with a dancing metaphor that was not on par with his literary heyday: “Georgetown’s defense is like a dancer doing pirouettes on the edge of the absurd.” Blatty’s most recent novel was published in 2010 and is titled Crazy, a word that unintentionally sums up his most recent actions. No word yet on what Cardinal Wuerl plans to do or whether he has even perused the 476 footnotes.

Maria Zhang, a top executive at Yahoo, is being sued for sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The complaint was filed today by Nan Shi, an engineer supervised by Zhang, and names Yahoo as a defendant. Female Yahoo exec sued for sexual harassment A high-level female Yahoo executive helping to lead the company's mobile-content efforts was… Read on mercurynews.com As a senior director of engineering, Zhang helps lead the troubled company's attempts to improve its mobile efforts. According to the San Jose Mercury News: In her complaint, Nan Shi says she was working as a principal software engineer when the supervisor, industry veteran Maria Zhang, forced her to have sex against her will on multiple occasions, promising her "a bright future at Yahoo'' if she acquiesced. After coercing her to have "oral and digital sex,'' Shi says when she finally resisted Zhang's advances, the executive retaliated by giving her a bad performance review and removing her as a project lead. When she reported the abuse to Yahoo, Shi says, the company did nothing to stop it, and then put her on what eventually became an unpaid leave followed by final termination that took effect Friday. Zhang's previous company, Propeld, was acquired by Yahoo last February. Shi worked under Zhang at Propeld, which was based in Seattle. After the acquisition, both women joined Yahoo. Shi claims that Zhang instructed her to move into a temporary Yahoo housing in Sunnyvale, which is when the alleged harassment began. "While staying with Plaintiff, Zhang coerced Plaintiff to have oral and digital sex with her on multiple occasions against her will, even after Plaintiff told her she did not want to have sex,'' the complaint alleges. "Zhang told Plaintiff she would have a bright future at Yahoo if she had sex with her. She also stated she could take away everything from her including her job, stocks, and future if she did not do what she wanted.'' The complaint alleges that Zhang, as Shi's manager, forced her "to work grueling hours and compose work emails over the weekend at the apartment, sometimes right after sex.'' A Yahoo spokesperson told the Mercury News that Zhang has the company's complete support: "There is absolutely no basis or truth to the allegations against Maria Zhang. Maria is an exemplary Yahoo executive and we intend to fight vigorously to clear her name." Shi was born in China and claims she did not report the alleged assaults to the police or to Yahoo because she feared a public dispute would end her career. This past Spring was the first time Shi reported the abuse to Yahoo's human resources department. The Mercury News says that Shi was emotional during an interview today and "broke down" describing the alleged harassment. "I was in a deep sleep one morning, sleeping on the sofa because she had taken my bed, when she came in without clothes on, crawled into my blanket, and woke me up, hugging me, kissing my face and neck,'' Shi said. "I woke up and got scared; I was shocked. I said, what are you doing? She said she'd liked me a long time, but I didn't' feel the same toward her. I said come on, we're friends; I love you as a person, but not as a lover.'' This is the most recent in a steady stream of sexual harassment lawsuits within the tech industry, alleging an abuse of power by a high-level executive.

Great decision by the court today. Unions, for the most part, are evil. WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled Monday that public sector unions cannot collect fees from home health care workers who don't want to be part of a union. The decision was handed down Monday by the Supreme Court in its final session of its nine-month term. The case, which deals with home care workers in Illinois, could eliminate automatic dues deductions for public sector unions. The court was also set to rule on a challenge by for-profit businesses, including Hobby Lobby, to the requirement in ObamaCare to provide free contraceptive coverage. In the union case, plaintiff Pamela Harris serves as the primary caretaker for her son, Josh, who has a rare genetic syndrome. She receives Medicaid funds and essentially functions as a state employee. Service Employee International Union (SEIU) Healthcare Illinois-Indiana, the union that represents publicly employed home care workers, automatically deducts membership dues from employees’ paychecks under the collective bargaining agreement it has with the state. Harris, as well as a handful of other personal care providers, sued Illinois, demanding it stop labor unions from collecting fees from workers who refuse representation. They argue that forcing them to pay the fees violates their First Amendment rights. Labor unions argue that if Illinois is allowed to back out of its collective bargaining agreement, it would be only be a matter of time before workers see their wages cut and benefits dropped. Union leaders also fear that conservative judges across the country will use the ruling in Harris’ case to strike down laws in 26 states that currently require public-sector employees such as teachers and police officers, to fork over dues to the unions that negotiate contracts on their behalf even if the employee doesn’t want to become a union member.

This is a creepy story
Anji Dean, 17, is missing, feared snared by sex traffickers in Camas
Does anyone remember her? This is really creepy. I've linked a documentary found on Youtube. The day she died, she had just taped an episode of "What's My Line". The episode still aired that night. This is from Wikipedia: Kilgallen claimed she conducted an interview with Jack Ruby inside the Dallas courthouse where he was tried for the shooting death of Lee Harvey Oswald, although she never revealed the subject of their purported conversation.[38] Four or five months later, she obtained a copy of Ruby's testimony to the Warren Commission, which was published on the front pages of the Journal American,[39] the Philadelphia Inquirer,[40] the Seattle Post Intelligencer,[41] and other newspapers. Most of that testimony did not become officially available to the public until the commission released its 26 volumes of hearings and exhibits in November 1964, around the time of the first anniversary of the assassination.[42] The first of three installments of the Ruby testimony under Kilgallen's byline appeared in the Journal American on August 18.[43] Kilgallen had a history of government criticism, suggesting in 1959 that the CIA recruited members of the Mafia to assassinate Fidel Castro, which many years later was proven to be the case.[44] By the time of the assassination, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had been keeping a file on the "flighty and irresponsible" columnist (his words about her were preserved in his own handwriting)[45] for 25 years.[46] The FBI tried to determine who had given the columnist a transcript of Jack Ruby's testimony to the Warren Commission.[47] The agency abandoned, in September 1964, all attempts to identify this source.[47] The attempts had included sending two FBI agents to Kilgallen's house, where she told them she would not identify the source under any circumstances.[47] The Voice of Broadway as it was published in the Journal American on September 30, 1964, included the following about the release of the single book containing the Warren Commission report, which was about two months before the 26 volumes were released: ...from what I have read, I would be inclined to believe that the Federal Bureau of Investigation might have been more profitably employed in probing the facts of the case rather than how I got them – which does seem a waste of time to me. At any rate, the whole thing smells a bit fishy. It's a mite too simple that a chap kills the President of the United States, escapes from that bother, kills a policeman, eventually is apprehended in a movie theater under circumstances that defy every law of police procedure, and subsequently is murdered under extraordinary circumstances. The Warren Report made a great effort to note that the FBI and the Secret Service were delinquent in their duty, and that the press media – TV, radio and newspaper – also were responsible for the confusion that made Oswald's murder possible. Baloney. Oswald was not killed by a newspaperman. He was killed by a nightclub owner well-known to the police – Jack Ruby. How can the Warren Commission pretend to forget that?[48] In her column that the Journal American published on June 9, 1965, Kilgallen called The Manchurian Candidate (1962 film) "a routine melodrama with the plot telegraphed as neatly as if it had been sent by Western Union."[49] She said this at a time when many people who had seen the film before the assassination looked back on it with anxiety and with concern about whether Oswald had watched it or drawn inspiration from it.[50] According to Kilgallen's statement published on June 9, she was prompted to recall her impression of the old film (a few months before an American television network revived it for the first time)[51] because some Hollywood insiders were saying the screenplay for Seconds (film), scheduled to start filming in the New York area later in 1965, was "as off-beat as The Manchurian Candidate." Kilgallen did not live to see the completion of Seconds, which starred Rock Hudson. She made her point that The Manchurian Candidate was hardly off-beat. In September 1965, more than a year after her scoop of Jack Ruby's testimony to the Warren Commission, Kilgallen said, referring to the murders of JFK, police officer J. D. Tippit and Oswald, "That story isn't going to die as long as there's a real reporter alive, and there are a lot of them alive."[52] That was the last sentence in her column item about Marina Oswald Porter's possible knowledge of the possible doctoring of an incriminating snapshot she had taken of Lee holding a rifle and The Militant socialist newspaper that Life featured on its cover in 1964.[52] DEATH: On November 8, 1965, Kilgallen was found dead on the third floor of her five-story brownstone, just 12 hours after she had appeared live on What's My Line?. Her hairdresser, Marc Sinclaire, found her body when he arrived that morning to style her hair.[7] He said decades later that she always slept on the fifth floor, adding that on November 8 he used his key to the brownstone and went directly to the third floor where he always did her hair near her large wardrobe closet.[7] She had apparently succumbed to a fatal combination of alcohol and barbiturates, possibly concurrent with a heart attack. It is not known whether the death was a suicide or an accidental overdose, although the amount of barbiturate in her system "could well have been accidental," said medical examiner James Luke.[61] Dorothy Kilgallen was interred in a modest grave at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York. Kilgallen and Arlene Francis appeared as Joan Crawford impostors on an episode of the daytime version of To Tell The Truth that was videotaped on November 2, 1965, and broadcast six days later while United Press International broke the news about Kilgallen's death.[62] CBS News immediately noticed the report on its UPI machine from the Teletype Corporation.[63] Anchor Douglas Edwards announced it during the five-minute live newscast he regularly did promptly after the closing credits of To Tell The Truth.[63] He clarified for viewers that the preceding broadcast on which they had seen Kilgallen had been "prerecorded."[63] Kilgallen's appearance on this game show episode has been lost because of wiping.[64] The CBS Afternoon News with Douglas Edwards was not preserved, either. Because of her open criticism of the Warren Commission and other US government entities, and her association with Jack Ruby and a 1964 private interview with him, Ramparts speculated that she was murdered by members of the same alleged conspiracy against JFK.[65] The February 1967 edition of Cosmopolitan, then edited by Helen Gurley Brown, reprinted the Ramparts article. Kilgallen's claims that she was under surveillance [66] led to a theory that she might have been murdered. She reportedly had told a few friends after her Ruby interview that she was "about to blow the JFK case sky high."[67] Throughout her career she consistently refused to identify any of her sources whenever a government agency questioned her, and that might have posed a threat to the alleged JFK conspirators.[68] Kilgallen's autopsy did not suggest evidence of homicide.[4] On the death certificate, however, medical examiner James Luke typed "circumstances undetermined" underneath his notation "acute ethanol and barbiturate intoxication."[69] According to Kilgallen's Washington Post obituary, Dr. Luke spent 45 minutes at the death scene.[70] The medical examiner's office documented, however, that he had spent an hour and five minutes there.[71] Another medical examiner named Dominick DiMaio signed the death certificate, typing below his signature that he was doing this "for James Luke."[69] Referring to Kilgallen's death certificate, Dr. DiMaio said in a 1995 interview quoted in Midwest Today magazine, "I wasn't stationed in Manhattan [where Kilgallen died]. I was in Brooklyn. Are you sure I signed it? I don't see how the hell I could have signed it in the first place. You got me."[7] He added that the only reason why Dr. Luke would not have signed the document was if he had not visited the death scene or performed the autopsy.[7] But evidence indicates Dr. Luke did both.[69][70]

Oh look, Mark Consuelos is on vacation again with a group composed of almost entirely gay men
I make almost twice what my sister and her husband make together, and they have two children. I've had to help both children through college, along with my parents--my sister and her husband are so broke they can't contribute to tuition. I worry when my parents die I will have to help my sister--she has no retirement plan.
Why do the gays always want them in their back yards?
OK, I know this will get me a lot of grief, but it's a serious question. I'm in my early 60s, retired, and reasonably well off. I've always been frugal and thrifty, because while I had a steady government job, and now have a good pension, I always wanted to make sure I had enough to take care of myself (and my mother) in my old age. Now I'm alone - my mother and siblings have all passed, and I have no children, nieces or nephews. And while my income was more than sufficient, I have inherited some money and two houses, one of which I sold and the other of which I'm renting. So ... here's the issue: I find it difficult to spend my money! I still use coupons and look for deals. I never stay in upscale lodging establishments or do things I've always considered to be wasteful extravagances, like massages or spas, or resorts. I have no one to leave my money to, and who knows how much longer I'll be around? How do I force myself to use my money?

I just took a recent trip to a foreign country with a group of friends. I was the unofficial photographer and now everyone wants to see photos. Not everyone is on Facebook. I don't want to use twitter, tumblr or Instagram because, as I understand them, those are more intended for ongoing newsfeeds and not creating one-time albums. I just want to dump it all online once and be done with it. One woman wants me to post them on Shutterfly but isn't that for ordering prints? They don't really seem to display the photos full screen for online viewing. Ideally I'd like a free service to display the photos in albums, with the option of viewing them full screen.

My position on gay marriage is much like a firm Catholic and divorce. I would not marry a man, but I certainly respect those who believe otherwise. The law and society must not put obstacles in the way of people of the same sex who wish to marry. I think our society is pretty much there now. The question is: would you vote for a first openly gay President who felt that way and who happened to be a Republican? In other words, what trumps what?

Normally, I don't pay any mind to click bait I find on the Internet, but a post from TIME Magazine entitled "Dear White Gays: Stop Stealing Black Female Culture" published on July 9, 2014 came to my attention. After reading it, I was surprised that TIME Magazine, arguably one of the most reputable magazines in the world had been the one to publish it. In it, the author Sierra Mannie explains in great detail how she is tired of seeing gay white men emulate strong African-American females because we don't know how it feels to be African-American and therefore should stop. I was very fortunate to grow up with parents who were always very open to anyone no matter their race. We never said nasty things about the color of another person's skin -- it's simply not how I was brought up. I don't see the color of people's skins, I see people. I know I only speak for myself when I say that and not everyone, but I think it's a great way to live life. I am not a black woman nor do I have any idea the struggles that black women have to go through an a daily basis, therefore I cannot speak to the trials and tribulations of the African America plight because I am white. I can sympathize and try to make the world a better place, but I certainly cannot imagine what it is like to be an African-American woman so I do not expect an African-American woman to try and explain to me what it's like being a homosexual white male because you don't know what you are talking about. Several times in the article, Ms. Mannie explains that "black people can't have anything," but Ms. Mannie, who is a resident of the state of Mississippi can get married to whomever she'd like and can also not be fired for being African-American, two privileges that a homosexual white male cannot have in the state of Mississippi and many other parts of the country. We also live in a country where -- and I'm sorry to say this -- but homophobia is far more socially accepted than racism. Large companies can donate large amounts of money to anti-gay funds who actively fight against gay rights. But if you worked for said-large company and said something negative about the color of someone else's skin, you would be fired immediately. She continues: "What is extremely unfairly denied you because of your sexuality could float back to you, if no one knew that you preferred the romantic and sexual company of men over women." Is Ms. Mannie telling me that I shouldn't be the loud-and-proud homosexual man I want to be in order to get ahead in life? Should I pretend to be straight in order to get what I want? The modern gay man doesn't find it necessary to undo years of gay rights in order to get ahead. We strive for change to -- just as you do and don't need you to tell us differently. We are very fortunate to live in a time when there are so many fabulous African-American women leading the charge in entertainment and culture. Oprah, Beyonce and Janet Jackson are strong women who have not only entertained us for years, but have enlightened many people about cultures, literature and music that they may have not been privy to before these and many other women exposed them to it. These women, along with countless others, have torn down racial boundaries by becoming not only relevant for African-American women, but culturally relevant for everyone in the world. That says a lot about how far we have come as a society. So, if a gay man wants to dress up and act like Beyonce -- let him. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and it's a pretty sure bet that there was a gay man behind many of the gorgeous gowns and outrageous hairdos that Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle and Beyonce have graced the stage in over the past few decades. African-American women and gay men share many of the same interests when it comes to socializing and what we find entertaining. I think it's something that we should embrace not scrutinize. After all, where are the fabulous gay male pop stars for us to emulate? White gay men will never know what it actually feels like to be an African-American woman but at the same time, you will never know what it feels like to be a gay man. We take things from all cultures -- black or white, straight or gay -- to find our own identity and make them personal to us and you can never take that away from anyone. That is what makes everyone unique. I think it's time that we celebrate each other and stop telling other groups what to like, how to act and what to do. It's 2014 and we live in a country that is more progressive than it has even been before. Let's continue to make strides in bringing people together and stop publishing articles that tare the other group apart for the sake of getting clicks. I don't tell African-American women what to like and how to act, so please try to do the same for me.

Robert Redford will play the famed news anchor in “Truth.” "Rathergate," the scandal that erupted in September of 2004 after Dan Rather reported that George W. Bush had received special treatment while serving in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, will be the subject of an upcoming film starring Robert Redford as Rather and Cate Blanchett as CBS News producer Mary Mapes. Rather, whose reputation was tainted after it was revealed that CBS News was unable to authenticate some of the documents upon which his report was based, found out about the film deal just one day before the news broke, via a call from Mapes. The film is based on Mapes' 2005 memoir Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power. "I want to emphasize that I'm no expert in the movie business. What I know about the movie business could be written on the back of a postage stamp," Rather tells THR. "But I at least know enough to recognize that having the Sundance Kid make a film about political and corporate interference of news can only help audiences understand why a truly independent press and strong investigative reporting are so important in a country such as ours." Rather first met Redford in the mid-1970s and last saw him about three years ago at Redford's Sundance Film Festival. "He has more faith in truth-telling than most people in Hollywood," adds Rather. "In no small part because of that I'm of course pleased and honored that he's agreed to take on the challenge of trying to make a film about political and corporate interference with truth-telling investigative journalism." Rather, for his part, has stood by his 60 Minutes report over the years. He states that the internal investigation (that led to the firing of Mapes) could never prove that the documents were forgeries. "I'm cautiously optimistic," says Rather of the film. "Although I have no illusions. Not everybody is going to like the idea that a film is being made. And not everybody is going to like the film, however it turns out." James Vanderbilt, the screenwriter behind The Amazing Spider-Man and White House Down, will adapt the screenplay, and make his directorial debut with the Mythology Entertainment project. Brad Fischer, William Sherak, Vanderbilt and Mikkel Bondesen are producing. Rather says he's open to meeting with Redford for the film, but he has yet to hear from the actor. "I'd be happy to help him any way I can. I might make the price for that his bringing along Ms. Blanchett," jokes Rather, who has never met the two-time Oscar winner. "I've admired her work for a long time. I thought Blue Jasmine was a new high for her, and that's mighty high."

Today in Strangest Study of the Day RECOMMENDED FOR YOU David Letterman Walks Out During Joan Rivers Interview World Cup Whimsy Captured in New McDonalds Ad Kim Jong Un Swears 'Merciless' Retaliation if New Seth Rogen Film Released by Taboola It has been a weird week in health news. First doctors said that Justin Bieber might save young boys’ lives (the “hip” bowl cut is actually a form of sun protection — skin cancer be gone!), and now scientists out of the University of Exeter insist that smelling farts could actually prevent cancer, among other diseases. Uh, okay. “Although hydrogen sulfide gas”—produced when bacteria breaks down food—”is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases,” Dr. Mark Wood said in a university release. Although the stinky gas can be noxious in large doses, the researchers seem to think that a whiff here and there has the power to reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria. Researchers are even coming up with their own compound to emulate the stinky smell’s health benefits. “‘We have exploited this natural process by making a compound, called AP39, which slowly delivers very small amounts of this gas specifically to the mitochondria,” Professor Matt Whiteman, who worked on the study to be published in the Medicinal Chemistry Communications journal, said. So thank the guy in the elevator. While it might have seemed like the ride from hell, IT MIGHT JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE. Or not.

SALT LAKE CITY — More than 1,000 gay and lesbian couples who married in Utah after the state same-sex marriage ban was overturned could get benefits in 10 days after a favorable ruling from a federal appeals court. Five months after the ban was struck down, a different federal judge in May ruled the state must lift its ban on benefits – such as child custody – for same-sex couples. The state asked the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to delay the benefits while the larger issue of the marriage ban makes its way through the courts. On Friday, the 10th Circuit denied Utah’s request for an indefinite delay. Instead, justices gave them until July 21 to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in. The Utah Attorney General’s Office said in a news release Friday it plans to ask the Supreme Court to extend the stay to avoid “uncertainty” for the couples. This case is separate from the ongoing judicial review of the constitutionality of the state’s same-sex marriage ban. The 10th Circuit recently upheld a December opinion from a federal judge in Utah who overturned the ban. Utah state officials plan to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The gay and lesbian couples awaiting benefits tied the knot during the 17-day window when same-sex marriages were legal. The U.S. Supreme Court brought them to a halt. Utah officials argued they had no choice but to hold off on benefits until an appeals court ruled on same-sex marriage. That triggered a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of four couples.

Hillary Clinton may have had a rocky start as she tests the waters, but a new poll finds if the presidential election were today she would trounce every Democratic and Republican politician -- by a large margin. he non-partisan Quinnipiac University poll released yesterday finds Hillary Clinton "sweeps" both the Democratic and Republican field if she were to run for president. Clinton would take 58 percent of the vote in a Democratic primary, and would trounce every Republican challenger, by seven to nine points. In a match up against Republicans Chris Christie, Rand Paul, or Mike Huckabee, Clinton would win by nine points. Against Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan, she would win by seven. She would also take the women's vote in those races, by 16 to 19 points. "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton takes a ton of heat on wealth, book sales and her legacy at the State Department, but she emerges with no serious Democratic challenger, while the Republican field remains clustered and flustered," Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in the poll's release.

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

And here I was pissed that Jolie was getting the part, due to the fact that the bitch can't fucking act! --- Just when we thought there weren't enough leading roles for Black women in Hollywood, they create one and give it to a White woman. Film producer Scott Rudin has purchased the film rights to upcoming biography 'Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra: A Life,' and has confirmed that the movie "is being developed for and with [Angelina] Jolie." Jolie, a Hollywood A-lister, will do her best in bringing the story of the famed Egyptian queen to life, and it appears no one doubts she can do it... including Pulitzer prize-winning author Stacy Schiff, who penned the biography, "Cleopatra: A Life," a book that won't be on shelves until the fall. Schiff already heavily endorses Jolie, stating, "I think she'd be perfect for it and I can see a possible Oscar in her future. Physically, she's got the perfect look." Gasp, the nerve! "She's got the perfect look?" Honestly, I don't care how full Angelina Jolie's lips are, how many African children she adopts, or how bronzed her skin will become for the film, I firmly believe this role should have gone to a Black woman. I mean, isn't it enough that 47 years ago, dame Elizabeth Taylor was cast to portray Cleopatra in one of the most expensive films ever made? That Elizabeth Taylor was actually the third White woman to be tapped for the Cleopatra role -- following Vivien Leigh and Claudette Colbert -- just makes this all the more comical. Were Vanessa Williams, Halle Berry and Thandie Newton unavailable for auditions that day? Why does Hollywood think it's even slightly plausible to cast White women in roles that would be more sensible to cast a Black actress for? Especially when that role is an African queen. It happened just two years ago, in 2007's thriller "Stuck," directed by Stuart Gordon, based on the true story of a Chante Mallard. The story tells a tale of a woman who hits a homeless man with her car and results with him trapped in her car's windshield. Instead of getting the man help, Mallard (played by actress Mena Suvari) opts to let him die slowly in her garage. The interesting thing is Mallard is a Black woman, and Suvari, who was cast to play the role, is -- surprise, surprise -- a White woman. Adding insult to injury, instead of just casting a Black woman to play the role, the film gave Suvari a more "ethnic look" for the role, by adding stereotypical cornrows to her hair. Hollywood, are you serious? Now, Jolie is set to play Cleopatra, who isn't as technically perfect as some would claim if you study the Queen of the Nile's distinguished history. First and foremost, the role should be given to a younger actress -- think Jurnee Smollett -- considering Cleopatra began her reign as Queen of Egypt at the tender age of 18 and ended her own life at the age of 39. Secondly, while historically there is no concrete confirmation that Cleopatra was of a darker complexion, there is more evidence than not that she was Black, and not entirely of Macedonian Greek ancestry, as Shakespeare, leagues of painters and now Hollywood would have us believe. And, ultimately, while Cleopatra's heritage remains under speculation, it remains that she was in fact an African queen. Jolie -- not so perfect. What's next? A biopic on Sojourner Truth played by Betty White?

[italic]One of many articles[/italic] Men who have not been circumcised typically have larger penises than men who have been circumcised. What is the reason for this? Circumcision is a surgical process usually performed when the male is in his infancy. It removes the foreskin from his penis. It is a traumatic process for the infant and some researchers believe that it creates deep-based psychological fears, as the male is so young. When the foreskin is surgically removed it creates scarring and scar tissue. If a circumcised male looks at his penis he can usually see the scarring between the shaft of the penis where it meets the corona (the corona is at the base or back of the head of the penis). The scarring is usually visible because the skin will have a different color than the rest of the penis. This scarring damages the tissues in this area of the penis and will impede penis length on erection. Because this is done in infancy (usually) and before puberty, this will affect the size of the penis when it gets its growth spurt during adolescence. An Australian scientific study measured 158 men for penis length. They compared circumcised and uncircumcised men. They found that the average penis length in circumcised men was 5% less than non-circumcised men. This, of course, is the average. Some men lost less and some men lost more of their size. It's also worth noting the research of Dr. John Taylor who revealed that 51% of an infant's penile skin is removed with circumcision. But affecting penis size isn't the only problem with circumcision. The foreskin is rich in sensory nerve endings and is one of the main areas of the penis that increases a man's sexual pleasure. When it is removed this decreases the sexual pleasure a man will feel during intercourse. The foreskin is also rich in tactile nerve endings, like those found in the fingertips that can perceive very fine sensations through feeling. With removal of the foreskin, the male loses this very fine touch sensation in his penis. This is important because he won't be able to "feel" the vagina with his penis. The scarring of the penis cannot be reversed, unfortunately, but there are methods of natural penis enlargement that can help increase a man's size if he was robbed of it through this surgical procedure.

Oh God, she's still a delusional mess! In a new interview with the San Francisco Examiner, Jackson talks about his upcoming part in Ryan Murphy’s HBO pilot about open relationships. Jackson, himself in sober recovery, will play a meth addict. Teasing the new HBO show, the actor, who has already appeared nude onstage, admits he has no caveats when it comes to getting naked for his HBO role "only" if it’s “germane to the story.” In September, Jackson filed for divorce. A month later, he publicly began dating a fellow actor. At the same time, Jackson shaved his head, grew a mustache and got Elvis Presley lyrics tattooed on his arm. The media labeled the drastic transition for the once clean-cut actor as a sign of a midlife crisis. “I have had quite a difficult and transitional year. Despite this newfound reputation as a 38-year-old bad boy, Jackson said settling down and raising a family is something he’s always wanted.“I have known I was going to be a dad as long as I can remember,” he said. Addressing the daily barrage of twitter and Instagram selfies Jackson has been posting of himself kissing his new boyfriend. Cheyenne tagged his latest selfies WeAreWellAwareHowAnnoyingWeAre
I was always under the impression that most celebrities don't really hang out with other celebs as much as we'd like to believe and act super friendly with them only on red carpets or when there are cameras around. I mean, can you imagine Nicole Kidman crying on Naomi Watts' shoulder? Or Matt Damon telling Ben Affleck all about his mysterious skin rash? So, who are A-list celebs' real best friends and confidantes? Are they people like their personal trainers and hairdressers? Or are they other super rich people with lower profiles (like businessmen). I guess we can rule out the common folk, huh?
Three years into the disappearance of Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan, Michael Hastings — the journalist whose reporting cost General Stanley McChrystal his job — wrote a Rolling Stone story on the missing soldier, a piece which the magazine called “the definitive first account of Bowe Bergdahl.” Hastings, who died in a car accident in Los Angeles in June 2013, had unparalleled access for that story. He spoke to Bergdahl’s parents, who had by that time stopped talking to the press, following “subtle pressure” from the army, and he quoted from emails the young soldier had sent to them, documenting his growing disillusion with the war and the US military. Hastings also spoke to several unnamed men in Bergdahl’s unit — soldiers who, we now know, had to sign a strict nondisclosure agreement forbidding them from discussing the soldier’s disappearance and search with anyone — let alone one of the top investigative journalists in the country. But most controversially, Hastings’ piece revealed what has been the subject of much debate and vitriol over the last few days: That a disillusioned Bergdahl had actually abandoned his post and “walked away.” At the time of the story’s publication, the media had all but forgotten about Bergdahl — who was released on Saturday after five years in the hands of the Taliban, in exchange for five Guantanamo prisoners. And, with the exception of some initial chatter, Hastings’ piece, which paints a deeply unflattering picture of Bergdahl’s unit and its leadership, hardly had the impact of some of his other investigations. But someone did pay attention to it: the FBI. That, at least, is what was revealed in a heavily redacted document released by the agency following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request — filed on the day of Hastings’ death — by investigative journalist Jason Leopold and Ryan Shapiro, an MIT doctoral student whom the Justice Department once called the “most prolific” requester of FOIA documents. The document, partially un-redacted after Leopold and Shapiro engaged in a lengthy legal battle with the FBI for failing to fulfill its FOIA obligations, singles out Hastings’ Rolling Stone piece — “America’s Last Prisoner of War” — as “controversial reporting.” It names Hastings and Matthew Farwell, a former soldier in Afghanistan and a contributing reporter to Hastings’ piece. 'If this deployment is lame, I’m just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan.' The document also included an Associated Press report based on the Rolling Stone piece, and what it identifies as a “blog entry” penned by Gary Farwell, Matthew’s father — which actually appears to be a comment entry on the Idaho Statesman’s website. “The article reveals private email excerpts, from [redacted] to his parents. The excerpts include quotes about being ‘ashamed to even be American,’ and threats that, ‘If this deployment is lame, I’m just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan,’” the FBI file reads. “The Rolling Stone article ignited a media frenzy, speculating about the circumstances of [redacted] capture, and whether US resources and effort should continue to be expended for his recovery.” 'I’m happy the FBI is reading Rolling Stone on the job.' The FBI file — as well as a Department of Justice document released in response to Leopold and Shapiro’s lawsuit — suggests that Hastings and Farwell’s reporting got swept up into an “international terrorist investigation” into Bergdahl’s disappearance. A spokesperson for the FBI told VICE News that the agency does not normally comment on pending investigations and that it lets FOIA documents “speak for themselves.” The investigation was still pending as of last month, Leopold said. According to the files — and a rare public statement by the FBI following Hastings’ death — Hastings was never directly under investigation by the agency, despite having pissed off a lot of people in very high places. But it is not exactly clear why Hastings and Farwell’s “controversial” reporting made it into a criminal investigation that was already active

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?

I’ve had an opportunity to watch the Canadian version of affordable health care in action with all its limitations with my Canadian husband’s family. A few years ago, I was startled to see the cover of Maclean’s, a national Canadian magazine, showing a picture of a dog on an examining table with the headline, “Your Dog Can Get Better Health Care Than You.” It went on to say that young Canadian medical students have no incentive to become doctors to humans because they can’t make any money. Instead, there is a great surge of Canadian students becoming veterinarians. That’s where the money is. A Canadian animal can have timely MRIs, surgeries and any number of tests it needs to receive quality health care. My sister-in-law had to wait two months to get a General Practitioner. During this period she spent her days in bed vomiting continuously, unable to get any food or drink down because she couldn’t get an appointment with the doctor. When she finally did, the doctor said, “Oh you don’t need me, you need a specialist.” That took another two weeks until she got a pill that corrected the problem. Really, is this what we want? All of my husband’s cousins are doctors. Several have moved to the U.S. because after their years of intensive schooling, they want to reap financial rewards. My 75-year-old Canadian girlfriend was denied treatment because she was too old. She died recently, having been given palliative care. That’s all the system would allow. Affordable care will allow for pre-existing conditions. That’s the good part for retirees. But, let’s get down and dirty; the word “affordable” is a misnomer. So far, all you are hearing on the news is how everyone’s premiums are doubling and tripling and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that the whole thing is a big mess. Plus, even after Obamacare is fully implemented, there still will be tens of millions of people not covered. So what’s the point? Medical care will be degraded, the costs will skyrocket, and most frightening of all, your most intimate and personal information is now up for grabs. So, is affordable care a good thing for retirees? Perhaps over time, it might work if you don’t get too old and you don’t get too sick, and you don’t live too long. But frankly, the economic ramifications with our already swollen debt load don’t add up. Retirees who are on Medicare will suffer the consequences of 700 billions of Medicare dollars instead being used to cover the skyrocketing cost of Obamacare. In essence, less dollars for seniors, means less service. Not fair. The Boomers are going to take the “hit.” In Obamacare, “too old” has limitations of service. Boomers are smart. They see the train wreck coming… most I speak with think the Affordable Care Act is a greater Ponzi scheme than that pulled off by Bernie Madoff.

During the week, 34-year-old Ottawa native Jimmy is happily married to Judy, 35. They have two children, ages three and four. Jimmy is a project manager for the government, and he often travels for his job. Judy is a teacher. They have been together since high school. Jimmy takes his vows seriously and would never leave Judy, because he loves her and his children. Not only do he and his wife share children and friends, they also do sporting activities and go on vacations together. They are both very active people. They have a great life together. But Judy can’t give Jimmy everything he needs. During the weekend, Jimmy loves sucking men’s cocks. He feels he needs this quiet outlet away from his vanilla heterosexual lifestyle. But if Judy were privy to this secret, he fears she would leave him. “I started cruising for men as an army cadet in my late teens. I went out of town a lot and realized I liked oral sex with men, but I didn’t want to be labelled gay or bisexual. I also didn’t want to lose Judy,” says Jimmy. Aside from the odd out-of-town bathhouse, Jimmy says he meets most of these men on Craigslist. He posts a free ad, usually consisting of the words “I’m looking for a guy to please.” He specifies that he’s looking only for oral, not anal, evenings before 10pm, aged 40 and under. Throughout the workday, Jimmy checks his BlackBerry for emails from a nondescript Gmail account. Pictures of penises, abs, daddies and trans men are sent from guys looking for an after-dinner assignation. He’s picky and only goes out a few times a month.
Heard he was an anchor in Miami, and got into trouble for battery/domestic violence in '09. His mug shot is so hot. Anyone know his story ?

One of the top five actresses of the 20th century in my opinion. Nowadays she does just about any film and is not too picky in her roles. Sure she wants a nice little nest egg for retirement. But still doesn't detract from what she has accomplished in her career. Was almost booed offstage in 1978 when she won her oscar for her politics. Lots of love here for Maggie and Judi. No one here mentions Vanessa much. She is definitely their equal. Thoughts and opinions?
It's official: Fox's global phenomenon Glee will be cut in half for its final season. The musical from creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk will be trimmed from its typical 22-episode order to 13 episodes, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Sources tell THR that Murphy sat down with the network and studio 20th Century Fox Television to discuss the best way to end the series and decided that the story would be best told in one final run of 13 consecutive episodes. For its part, Glee has been showing its age. The musical has repeatedly hit series lows in its fifth season, with ratings down considerably from those of its early heyday. The move comes as little surprise after Glee — one of the lowest-rated scripted series to earn an additional season renewal after Fox's two-season pickup a year ago — was left off the network's fall schedule. The musical starring Lea Michele and Chris Colfer will return midseason as part of Fox's 2015 lineup. An exact date and time slot have not yet been revealed, but the network plans to make the sixth and final run of the series into a big event for fans. The decision to hold Glee for a midseason bow comes after the network trimmed its current fifth season from 22 to 20 episodes, following production delays at the start of the season after the death of star Cory Monteith. Sources told THR that Fox was mulling tacking the final two episodes onto season five, bringing the total to 24 after the show's two-season pickup a year ago. (The two-season renewal was for 44 episodes.) In May, then-Fox Broadcasting president Kevin Reilly said the standard 22-episode count for seasons is no longer the norm as more networks adopt a cable model in a bid to retain viewers and eventize programming. Murphy, meanwhile, told THR in April that he has a final idea for the series, which will not be "New York-centric" after the series was uprooted from its former Ohio-set high school location. "The final season is really its own story and its own location and while the New York stuff will be alive, the final season is not New York-centric at all," Murphy said at the time, noting there will be a time jump for the final episodes. "It really [will be] a lovely, fitting season that…dwells on the original people that were on the show and what happens to them and how they give back. That really is the last season.… We'll revisit some of the new kids that came and went. There's a return of the Jane Lynch-Matt Morrison characters in a big way. It's a really interesting, very sweet, satisfying ending to the story." The news comes mere hours after Murphy picked up a whopping 34 Emmy nominations for programs including HBO's The Normal Heart, FX's American Horror Story: Coven and Glee, which was nominated in the directing category for its 100th episode.

Despite the fact all three of them have houses all close to one another, Naomi and Ashley Judd were not invited to Wynonna Judd's wedding Wynonna says that things aren't great between herself, her sister and her mother, Naomi -- but she wants to try to make things better. "We're getting ready to sit down with our life coach and re-evaluate what we want out of this relationship ... We just don't have a lot of contact right now, if any, because we're all doing our own thing." Things got rough when Ashley spilled family secrets with the publication of her memoir, All That Is Bitter and Sweet. "I'm getting ready to have a meeting with Ashley, and re-do our family contract, and re-set our boundaries," explains Wynonna. "It's just really healthy."
I’m sure this story will ruffle the feathers of many Winona-stans, but I think this is good news for Winona Ryder. Her career comeback is going well, she spent a few years doing smaller parts in smaller movies, getting some critical acclaim again, getting photographed more often and coming out in public more often. So it’s good news when the tabloids start discussing her as a scandalous and/or bizarre person. Winona’s always been a little strange, and now a new generation of tabloid readers get to enjoy it. For the young’uns, let me tell you: Winona Ryder used to be like Kristen Stewart, Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lawrence all rolled into one. Winona was HUGE. She dated her costars, she was a child actor who transitioned to adult roles beautifully, she won awards and praise, she was BFFs with some of the biggest celebrities out there and there were plenty of scandals and drama. Ah, the halcyon days of the 1990s. So this Enquirer story references some of those older scandals. Like, Johnny Depp and Winona were crazy about each other way back when (before Kate Moss, even), and Winona used to be BFFs with Gwyneth Paltrow. So, enjoy: Winona Ryder is getting weirder by the day, becoming a virtual recluse and taking potshots at her former friends. Insiders say she’s dyed her hair bright white and become obsessed with online shopping, filling her closets with unworn clothes that still have their tags. And just about the only time she leaves her home is when her cleaning staff arrives, because she can’t stand talking to them. Winona has also been trash-talking her ex-BFF Gwyneth Paltrow and former flame Johnny Depp, a source tells The ENQUIRER. “She’s alienating so many people it’s no wonder she’s turning into a hermit,” said a longtime friend of the 41-year-old actress. Winona has a “major grudge” against Gwyneth because she believes the blonde-haired beauty made unflattering comments about her in an online lifestyle blog four years ago. And Winona also never got over Gwyneth beating her out for a plum role in the 1998 hit movie “Shakespeare in Love” – and winning an Oscar for it! “Those comments were a huge embarrassment for her,” the pal said. The friend says Winona has also been blasting Depp, 50, for hooking up with 27- year Amber Heard not long after splitting with his longtime love, Vanessa Paradis, 40, last year. “Johnny couldn’t care less,” said the friend, “but she’s really ragging on him for being so predictable and going for a blonde in her twenties.” As The ENQUIRER reported in April, Winona had a fleeting hope she and “The Lone Ranger” star would reunite. “It’s really sad she’s become so vindictive,” the friend continued. “She rarely leaves the house because she hates being around people so much. And she makes sure her housekeepers don’t speak English because that way they are less likely to know who she is. “When she was younger, her eccentricities were perceived as cute and quirky, but now she’s just bizarre.” [From The Enquirer] I think the Gwyneth reference is about an old Goop post from a few years ago where Gwyneth talked about “how to break up with a friend”. And the Hollywood rumor back in 1997 was that Gwyneth outright STOLE Winona’s script for Shakespeare In Love and Goop went behind Winona’s back and got the part. And they were never friends after that. As for the Depp stuff… I’m not sure I believe Wino and Johnny still talk. She might talk smack about him (as she should, because he’s absurd), but I doubt Johnny even hears about it. Oh, and remember how Matt Damon dumped Minnie Driver (while appearing on Oprah!!!) and then he started up with Winona two seconds later? I wish people still brought that up, because that was an amazing scandal. God, I miss Winona’s scandals. I want her to start dating someone really controversial. Not Charlie Sheen! I want her to throw it down old-school, like Winona could steal Garrett Hedlund away from Kirsten Dunst. That would be fun.
Dish the dirt!
He is hot!
What happened to the previous thread? Anyway, a new Cody ass-shaking gif.
From Wes Anderson to Zooey Deschanel to Brooklynites on bicycles, a terrifying aesthetic is overtaking America. Eight years ago or so, the alternative paper I was working for sent me out to review a couple of folk-noise-psych-indie-beardie-weirdie bands. I had a dreadful night. The bands were bad enough—“fumbling,” I scratched in my notebook, “infantile”—but what really did me in was the audience. Instead of baying for the blood of these lightweights, as in the Darwinian days of old, the gathered young people—behatted, bebearded, besmiling—obliged them with patters of validating applause. I had seen it before, this fond curiosity, this acclamation of the undercooked, but never so much of it in one place: the whole event seemed to exult in its own half-bakedness. Be as crap as you like was the message to the performers. The crapper, the better. We’re here for you. I tottered home, wrote a homicidally nasty nervous breakdown of a review, and decided I should take myself out of circulation for a while. No more live reviews until I calmed down. A wave of Twee—as I now realize—had just broken over my head. Is Twee the right word for it, for the strangely persistent modern sensibility that fructifies in the props departments of Wes Anderson movies, tapers into the waxed mustache-ends of young Brooklynites on bicycles, and detonates in a yeasty whiff every time someone pops open a microbrewed beer? Well, it is now. An across-the-board examination of this thing is long overdue, and the former Spin writer Marc Spitz is to be congratulated on having risen to the challenge. With Twee: The Gentle Revolution in Music, Books, Television, Fashion, and Film, he’s given it a name, and he’s given it a canon. (The canon is crucial, as we shall see.) And if his book is a little all over the place—well, so is Twee. Spitz hails it as “the most powerful youth movement since Punk and Hip-Hop.” He doesn’t even put an arguably in there, bless him. You’re Twee if you like artisanal hot sauce. You’re Twee if you hate bullies. Indeed, it’s Spitz’s contention that we’re all a bit Twee: the culture has turned. Twee’s core values include “a healthy suspicion of adulthood”; “a steadfast focus on our essential goodness”; “the cultivation of a passion project” (T-shirt company, organic food truck); and “the utter dispensing with of ‘cool’ as it’s conventionally known, often in favor of a kind of fetishization of the nerd, the geek, the dork, the virgin.” The aesthetic lineage that Spitz proposes—his connect-the-dots survey of Tweedom across the decades, from Peanuts to Jonathan Richman to New Girl—starts with Mickey Mouse. Mickey’s shorts, his hooting eunuch voice, his taking arms against a sea of troubles: Spitz appoints him “the first American Twee icon.” Close behind in the Twee parade trots Ferdinand the Bull, followed by the contemplative elephant Horton, and then—trying hard not to be a virgin—Holden Caulfield. The point of these characters is the bravery with which they assert their tender selves. Or perhaps the tenderness with which they assert their brave selves. Whatever: in a shitty world, they’re taking a stand for beauty. We might quibble, you and I, with elements of Spitz’s Twee taxonomy, his Tweexonomy, what he calls his “heroes’ gallery of pajama people.” I can’t accept, for example, that Sylvia Plath, rising from the ashes with her red hair and eating men like air, was ever Twee—although I can accept that thinking she was Twee is Twee. And shouldn’t Kerouac be in there somewhere? (“Don’t you know that God is Pooh Bear?”) What about Vonnegut? But all of this just puts us further inside the Twee-dome. To bandy names like this, to compare pedigrees, is to play the deep game of Twee.
Mayor Rob Ford was the only member of council to vote Thursday against a proposal for a Cyndi Lauper type True Colors LGBT homeless shelter He did not explain his opposition, either in public or to other members of council. The 37-1 vote came just a day after Ford refused to stand during a council ovation for the organizers of the World Pride festival. He said later that he is “not homophobic,” but he would not explain why he did not join his colleagues in applause. Ford has barely concealed his antagonism to the gay community. Though he has always insisted that he is not homophobic, he has become more open about his feelings over the last year — drawing accusations that he is attempting to bait anti-gay voters. He used a homophobic slur to describe Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau in the 2013 video that appears to show him smoking crack cocaine. He made an emotional and unsuccessful effort this winter to get the city to take down the rainbow Pride flag it raised during the Olympics in solidarity with the gay community in Russia. He admitted at the beginning of his campaign that he skips the Pride festival out of personal preference, not strictly because of his schedule. And he has objected to AIDS/HIV funding saying "It is very preventable, if you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you wouldn’t get AIDS probably, that’s bottom line.” “These are the facts, “How are women getting it? Maybe they are sleeping with bi-sexual men,”
"Julia has a carefree quality as a person, and she is free of any inhibitions or checks on her strong and happy spirit. She likes to have a good time, and she spends time making sure the crew do, too. She likes to get them all going and laughing, and it makes an easy-going atmosphere; but when the time comes to do her own work, she is as serious and committed as you can imagine. Deep, resonant emotion lies readily available to her when she calls upon it, and then she lets it go like a tissue in the wind when they call cut. She's pretty amazing."

Probably about 25 yrs ago, on some channel, not necessarily pay, maybe A&E, a movie about a housewife who killed her philandering husband, was repeated for a few months and then I never saw it again. Most of the movie is just the housewife alone all day cleaning, and you hear her thoughts as narration. She was obsessive about her work, I remember her saying that most people clean windows without really getting into the corners, but she cleans those corners out good. She said her one indulgence is lying on the couch in the afternoon, and playing her jazz records with her eyes closed imagining she's the singer. Somehow she finds out, or has suspected, that her husband has been cheating, and when he comes home the movie ends with her knifing him to death. I think the movie was set in Canada and was a Canadian production. It was average at best, but I remember it occasionally, and just wondered if anyone else remembers it. Even if you can't name it, but better if you can.
If you'll excuse me, I'm off to cry myself to sleep... the only plus side I can see is that my tears of sympathy will provide me with some desperately needed drinking water...

What do you think actually happened with the dyatlov pass incident?
I love the new Acura Gulliver's Travels commercial. The way Gulliver whines about wanting to go home and then flexes his toes is so sexy. The Acura Chariot literally made him curl his toes. The giant dirty flip flop at the end is awesome too. They're going to turn this into a series of commercials. They already made a sequel. Let's hope Gulliver and his flip flops become the new Flo.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION GRANTS GEORGE FOX RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION; SAYS COLLEGE CAN REFUSE TRANS STUDENTS ON-CAMPUS HOUSING In April, we wrote about Jayce M., an African-American transgender student at George Fox who wants to live on campus with his friends next year, but was denied on-campus housing by the university. Jayce, a junior at the Christian university of liberal arts and sciences located in Newberg, Ore., has medically, socially, and legally transitioned. Portland attorney Paul Southwick–of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP–filed a Title IX discrimination complaint with the U.S. Department of Education in early April, after repeated efforts to find an amicable solution with George Fox administrators, and after Jayce was denied his final appeal. This week, the U.S. Department of Education closed (and ostensibly denied) Jayce’s complaint, granting George Fox college an unusually speedy “religious exemption,” and for the time being dashing any hope Jayce had of living on campus with the rest of his friends and classmates. Religious exemptions, it seems, are becoming the new normal. Exemptions, however, historically take years to get, according to Southwick. George Fox got theirs in just a few months. They applied for it–in secret–while meeting with Jayce and–at the time–seemingly negotiating in good faith. “George Fox University (GFU), without telling us, requested a religious exemption to the Title IX regulations regarding housing, restrooms and athletics as they apply to transgender students,” Southwick explains. “GFU requested this exemption from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) a mere three days before denying Jayce’s final appeal to the university and a mere four days before Jayce filed his complaint with the DOE. The DOE granted the request for the religious exemption with surprising speed–only two months, rather than the years it has taken historically to get an exemption. Based on the exemption, the DOE closed Jayce’s complaint. The DOE did all of this without telling us anything about the exemption request, despite my repeated calls and emails for information and status updates. After I received their letter, a representative from the DOE told me he was ‘not authorized’ to discuss the religious exemption with me. Normally, the DOE decides whether to investigate a complaint within 30 days. In Jayce’s case, they made us wait about 90 days, all without telling us the real reason they were making us wait. We are going to appeal the DOE’s ruling.” GFU continues to ignore requests from PQ Monthly for comment. Jayce is simply baffled the college he knows and loves has dug in like this. “I’m shocked and disappointed that the federal government has given George Fox permission to discriminate against me and is allowing it to do so with federal funds,” he says. “But I’m not giving up. I deserve to be treated like the other men on campus. Apparently, the university disagrees, as they have made clear by forcing me to live off-campus. The university is operating under the doctrine of ‘separate but equal,’ and the religious exemption they received now gives the government’s stamp of approval to what they are doing. My own tax dollars will fund the university’s discrimination against me. I don’t understand it and I don’t think it is fair.” So, while Jayce waits to plan his future–doing so honestly and openly, it seems the DOE and GFO choose stall tactics and subterfuge. While each of his peers can make plans and move forward, Jayce once again waits–on the outside. Because it’s in George Fox’s best “religious interests”? Not everyone within George Fox’s denomination thinks George Fox’s actions throughout this ordeal are in line with their stated theological stance. Two local pastors, Dr. C. Wess Daniels, Pastor at Camas Friends Church, and Mike Huber, Pastor at West Hills Friends Church, disagree with the college’s position:
Gay men, stop lying. Just tell the truth. Be honest. If you're a bottom, don't put versatile in your ad. If you're 30, don't tell people that you're 25. Five years is meaningless. If you're POZ, say so. If you just want to mess around and not have a relationship, state it up front.
OK! Magazine reports Mendes is seven months pregnant with Gosling's baby. “She’s been ready for motherhood for a while now and to be sharing this experience with Ryan is a dream come true for her!” a supposed insider told the tabloid. A source also said wedding bells may ring soon, too: “Ryan doesn’t think they need to marry just because they are having a baby, but Eva believes it’s important to have their lives fully intertwined." "Access Hollywood" also reported on the pregnancy, citing an unnamed source.

They''re essentially glorified hookers, right? I mean, they know that no one cruises them and then picks them up just so that they can move some furniture around or paint their dining room.

It started on Torch Song. Crawford went in for some slight, surgical improvements. "The face and the breasts are new, but my ass is the same -- as flat and as firm as a twenty-year-old's." Described by one critic as "a drag Queen let loose on film," she had her hair dyed apricot-orange and styled ina "brutal page-boy." The coup de grace for Joan was that her singing voice had been dubbed by Indian Adams, "in a voice so husky it could pull a dog sled." Crawford knew the end was on the horizon. She began drinking more. Her next film, Johnny Guitar, proved disastrous to her reputation. The film was a flop but a month before the opening an enterprising reporter named Roby Heard of the Los Angeles Mirror called Republic's press office and said he wanted to do a story on Crawford, to break when the movie opened. It was to be part interview and part overview of Joan's long, illustrious career, the writer informed. Crawford gave the interview, the "overview" was expanded, and hte piece was scheduled as a series. "I am thrilled," said Joan, granting Heard access to members of her family and to her friends. That was her first mistake. "JOAN CRAWFORD -- QUEEN OR TYRANT? The Star Thrives on Feuds" was the headline of the article. Offering their help in the dissection were Marilyn Monroe, Jack Palance, Mercedes McCambridge, Greg Bautzer, Gloria Grahame, Nick Ray, Joan's mother and brother, and her ex-servants. Crawford, herself, addressed the remarks she made about Monroe at the Photoplay Awards: "I criticized Marilyn Monroe as I would my own daughter," said Joan. "No comment," said Marilyn. "Jealousy caused Crawford to attack Marilyn. She should develop benevolence towards other human beings," said Marilyn's former roommate Natasha Lytess. Joan's behavior on Sudden Fear was the "talk of Hollywood," an unnamed columnist confided. "Once, in the presence of the entire company, she berated the director and slapped him in the face." She also abused Jack Palance. "Look, I don't want any more squabbles with Crawford. I have my future to think about. She's difficult. Unless she's handled properly she's lots of trouble. She's a woman and has to have her way in everything." "She hates all women," said Mrs. Sterling Hayden, "except for those who can help her. If I ever see her again, I'll probably strike her in the face." "It is apt to be necessary to step on people on your way to the top," Joan's mother, Mrs. Anna LeSueur, believed. "I have the same driving force. But those of us with talent and ambition must develop tolerance, must make allowances for people less gifted," said former silent star Theda Bara. "I haven't seen my sister in more than five years. For personal reasons, I must refrain from saying why," said Hal LeSueur. "Ask Joan why we stopped going out together. No comment from me," said attorney Greg Bautzer. "Ask Miss Crawford why she abused a Johnny Guitar actress so badly the player had to travel 28 miles across the desert to enter a hospital," said Mrs. Sterling Hayden. (cont'd.)

Isn't this the one complaining last year that Julie made fun of her weight? The half-sister of Julia Roberts has died of an apparent drug overdose, her family announced Monday. Nancy Motes, 37, was the youngest sister of Julia and actor Eric Roberts and had battled with depression and obesity. She was found dead Sunday in Los Angeles, the family says in a statement, issued to People. “It is with deep sadness that the family of Nancy Motes … confirms that she was found dead in Los Angeles yesterday of an apparent drug overdose,” the statement reads. “There is no official report from the Coroner’s office yet. The family is both shocked and devastated.” Last August Motes described her battle with obesity and depression in an interview, saying she always felt like an embarrassment to Julia because of her weight. Motes, who once weighed nearly 300 pounds before her decision to undergo gastric bypass surgery in June 2010, told The Sun last year, “It makes me feel incredibly hurt and very sad.” Nancy, whose other siblings Eric Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan are also screen stars, adds: “When you’re in a family of very, very exceptionally beautiful people it’s intimidating. I think that growing up as Pretty Woman’s little sister has definitely made me try to see the person inside and not the person outside. A lot of my life I felt judged for my weight.” Nancy said Julia wasn’t supportive over her battle with obesity: “When I was in high school and she was an adult, she would just let me know that I was ‘definitely overweight.’ “She would make it quite clear to me and in a not so nice manner.” After Nancy finished school, she ” followed her sister to Hollywood in 1995 with dreams of becoming a star herself.” But she claims she did not find Julia, who has a different father, supportive. She says: “Julia did not want to see me go down that path, mostly because I was overweight. “My weight has fluctuated my entire life. So I just got a lot of criticism from Julia, which was very discouraging for me. “I did a lot of auditioning, a lot of waitressing, then really could not afford the cost of living, so I went back to Georgia and focused on doing more things in theatre.” But she recalls, “My arthritis was flaring up to the point where I couldn’t get the rings on my knuckles, I was gaining weight like crazy. I was in an enormous amount of physical pain and just miserable, which led into the talk of the bariatric surgery.” Nancy had been living with John Dilbeck and the couple planned to marry in May. Nancy added she was not sure if Julia would be at her wedding, explaining, “It’s a work in progress, it’s not going to be fixed overnight. Nor do I think it’s going to be fixed by me just getting skinny. “My family love each other fiercely, we’re really not different from any other family. I love Julia absolutely and I have no doubt she loves me.” She says: “I want to be known as more than Julia Roberts’ fat little sister.”
Having gotten wonderful and helpful answers about whether Britons actually eat baked beans for breakfast, I would like some advice about how to prepare a most satisfactory cup of tea. As an American, my first reach is for a mug of strong coffee. But now, instead of getting a second one at the office, I am drinking tea instead. While I appreciate that how one takes their tea will differ from person to person (I enjoy a little cream and a half teaspoon of sugar...never liked lemon in my tea), I wondered if perhaps there are techniques or tips that you, the undisputed masters of tea, could impart? For example, I am using tea bags. Should I get a teapot and strainer and use loose tea instead? Also, I drink Bigelow's "English Teatime" (it's what the company stocks the kitchen with), which I find acceptable. Is Bigelow's acceptable from your perspective, or would you recommend a different brand? Thanks in advance!

A Russian lawmaker wants his country’s Central Bank to change the 100 rouble note and remove naked images of the Greek god Apollo because it violates Russian law by exposing minors to “gay propaganda.” “You can see clearly that Apollo is naked, you can see his genitalia,” says Member of Parliament Roman Khudyakov. The note, worth less than $3, depicts an image of a statue of Apollo riding a four-horse chariot atop the Bolshoi Theater, one of Russia’s main cultural symbols, reports Reuters. “I submitted a parliamentary request and forwarded it directly to the head of the central bank asking for the banknote to be brought into line with the law protecting children and to remove this Apollo,” said Khudyakov. The Central Bank had no immediate comment.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana won't recognize hundreds of same-sex marriages that were performed before a federal court halted a lower-court's decision to lift the state's gay marriage ban, the governor's office said Wednesday. Gov. Mike Pence's decision, first announced in a memo from chief counsel Mark Ahearn, applies only to state agencies that report to his governor's office and would affect state services controlled by those agencies, such as food stamps or the ability to file jointly for state taxes. Hundreds of couples were married from June 25, when a U.S. district court judge struck down the state's gay marriage ban, to June 27, when a federal appeals court stayed the decision. Pence, a Republican, told reporters at a Statehouse event Wednesday that the state was only abiding by the decision of the federal appeals court that stayed the earlier ruling that struck down Indiana's gay marriage ban. The Indiana attorney general's office, which is handling the court challenges, had no immediate comment. Also Wednesday, Utah opted to challenge a different federal appeals court ruling on its gay marriage ban, taking it to the U.S. Supreme Court. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes' office said in a statement the appeal will be filed in the coming weeks to get "clarity and resolution" from the highest court. American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana Legal Director Ken Falk said Wednesday he believes Indiana is wrong and the marriages are legal. "During the time they were married they were lawfully married and the fact that the law, in effect, changed subsequent to their marriage does not void their marriages," Falk said in an email to The Associated Press. The sole exception to the appeals court stay in Indiana was an order for the state to recognize the out-of-state marriage of Amy Sandler and Nikole Quasney of Munster; Quasney is dying of ovarian cancer. The memo said the state would follow that order. Senate Democratic Leader Tim Lanane, D-Anderson, called the governor's directive "excessive" and that it only confused the issue. "I believe the governor has jumped to conclusions that don't clearly come from the order of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals," he said in a statement. Democratic Marion County Clerk Beth White, whose office performed more than 450 same-sex weddings, called the governor's decision disheartening and disappointing." "Gov. Pence owes these couples an explanation on why he continues to deem them as second class citizens," she said in a statement.

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

I hope he has a good exercise regimen for those jaw muscles. Now it's Phaedra's turn. [bold]'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' husband Apollo Nida gets prison for fraud[/bold] (CNN) -- Apollo Nida, husband of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-star Phaedra Parks, is headed to prison for eight years on fraud charges. Nida, who appears on the reality TV series with Parks, was arrested in January and pleaded guilty in May to charges in a fraud scheme that federal prosecutors say stole millions of dollars from at least 50 people over four years. A hearing on July 17 will determine how much restitution Nida must pay to his victims. Nida, 35, must serve five years under parole supervision after he completes his eight years in a federal prison, U.S. District Court Judge Charles A. Pannell, Jr. ordered during sentencing Tuesday. It will be the second prison stint for Nida, who previously served five years in a federal prison for auto title fraud before marrying Parks in 2009. Nida created two fake collection companies to gather personal information used to steal victims' identities, U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said after his sentencing in Atlanta. He used the information to get fraudulent auto loans in the names of his victims, according to the criminal complaint. He was busted after a year-long investigation by the U.S. Secret Service. "Today's sentencing exemplifies impartial justice regardless of economic class or perceived celebrity status," U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Reginald Moore said. "Nida's sentence should be an eye-opener for other like-minded criminals who scheme to steal victims' identities, defraud them and ignore the consequences of their actions." The break in the case came in September, when federal investigators arrested Gayla St. Julein, a woman who "described herself as Nida's 'right hand b****' in executing the legwork of his fraud schemes," the complaint said. St. Julien, who previously served prison time for identity theft, told agents that Nida "only paid her 'scraps'" for her work, compared to the amount of money he made from the fraud schemes," the filing said. She turned on him and agreed to let agents record their phone calls, it said. Nida "knowingly and willfully (did) execute and attempt to execute a scheme to defraud federally insured financial institutions by depositing stolen and fraudulently obtained checks and fraudulently obtained auto loan proceeds into bank accounts opened in the stolen identities of real persons, and conspire with others to do so, and knowingly convert to his use and the use of others stolen and fraudulently obtained United States Treasury Checks," Special Agent Alexandre Herrera said in a sworn affidavit. Nida's fake companies fraudulently signed up with "LexisNexis, Equifax, and Mircrobilt databases" to steal personal information on people. Along with the fraudulent auto loan checks, Nida stole U.S. Treasury checks, "retirement checks issued to Delta Airlines employees, and checks in the names of real people that were owed unclaimed property from various state and federal government agencies," the complaint said. Agents recorded phone calls St. Julien made to Nida during which he discussed details of pending fraudulent auto loans and "details of future auto loan checks that he was expecting to receive any day now from in the mail," the affidavit said.

It''s fair to say Neil Patrick Harris and Eric Braeden won''t be exchanging gifts this holiday season. The How I Met Your Mother star blasted the Young and the Restless veteran on Twitter today for allegedly failing to honor a commitment to appear on the CBS sitcom. "Eric Braeden is a D-Bag," Harris tweeted. "He agreed to a cameo as Robin''s dad, then last night he bailed, saying the part wasn''t ''substantial'' enough." In a follow-up tweet, Harris announced that the role had been recast with Twin Peaks and Reaper alum Ray Wise. "[Ray] is a fantastic actor who makes any part ''substantial''. Super excited to welcome him to the family!" Braeden first appeared as Robin''s alpha male dad in November 2008. In an interview with TVGuide.com at the time, he called the cast of HIMYM one of "the most wonderful groups of people I have ever met. It was the warmest set I''ve been on since Mary Tyler Moore." Calls to Braeden''s rep have not yet been returned.

A number of high profile music figures, including George Michael and all four members of British band Arctic Monkeys, are among 1,600 people who collectively tried to shelter £1.2 billion ($2 billion) in a tax avoidance scheme, reports The Times. Investors in the Liberty tax strategy also include Sir Michael Caine and Take That star Gary Barlow, alongside a number of top businessmen, QCs, NHS doctors, party donors and a judge, according to a secret database leaked to the British newspaper. George Michael reportedly sought to shelter £6.2 million ($10.6 million) in record and tour sales after paying £443,000 ($750,000) in fees to Mercury Tax Group, the Leeds-based company that ran the scheme. The singer’s investments in Liberty were made about 7 years ago – around the same time that he embarked his “25 Live” world tour. It was also reported that the four members of Arctic Monkeys - Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O’Malley and Matt Helders - sheltered between £557,000 ($950,000) and £1.1 million ($1.9 million) in the Liberty scheme. George Michael’s publicist and representatives of the Arctic Monkeys all declined to comment, states The Times. Katie Melua, meanwhile, sought to shelter £850,000 through Liberty in 2008. Two years later, she was nominated for Christian Aid’s Tax Superhero Award after publicly stating that she paid “nearly half of what comes to me in taxes”. .. Speaking to The Times, Melua’s lawyers said that she had invested in Liberty at the suggestion of her accountants but repaid the sheltered tax to Revenue & Customs and so had not avoided tax. HM Revenues and Custom (HMRC) has spent more than a decade investigating Liberty, which generated huge artificial ‘losses’ offshore which its members could then use to avoid tax on other income. HMRC is due to challenge the legality of the scheme in court next year. However, under new Treasury rules due to be brought in this month, Liberty members may have to pay back hundreds of millions of pounds in disputed tax before any hearing takes takes place. The Times states that Gary Barlow, who reportedly invested over £4 million ($6.8 million) in the Liberty scheme, is among those who can expect to receive a large tax bill in the coming weeks. Barlow also faces a separate tax bill over his involvement in a second tax avoidance scheme called Icebreaker, which was discredited by Judge Colin Bishop at a ruling earlier this year. Barlow’s Take That bandmates Howard Donald, Mark Owen and band’s manager, Jonathan Wild, were also reported to have invested in the Icebreaker scheme, which was used by around 1,000 people and wealthy individuals to shelter approximately £340 million ($580 million).

Horatio Chapple's death in a bear attack while on a school trip in Norway in 2011 joked about by The Socialist Worker newspaper By Claire Duffin9:29PM BST 10 Jul 2014 A socialist newspaper has faced calls to apologise after it ran an article mocking the death of a 17-year-old public schoolboy killed during an Arctic expedition, saying it was “another reason to save the polar bears”. Horatio Chapple, a pupil at Eton, was mauled to death by a polar bear in 2011 while on an adventure holiday. Two other pupils and two leaders on the trip were hurt before the bear was shot dead during the night-time attack. An inquest into his death opened on Monday. The Socialist Worker carried a report in its latest edition under the headline: “Eton by bear? The inquest begins”. The piece, in the newspaper’s “Troublemaker” diary column, concluded with the lines: “Troublemaker has long supported campaigning for the environment. Now we have another reason to save the polar bears”. The article was described as “incredibly tasteless” after screenshots of it were published on Twitter. Many users called on the Socialist Worker, a free paper produced by the Socialist Workers Party, to apologise. Bobby Friedman, a broadcaster, said on Twitter: “The @socialistworker thinks it’s ok to laugh at a child dying, because he went to Eton. Vile.” Ed Simpson said on Twitter: “Socialist Worker apparently delighted by the horrific death of a teenager because of the school he attends. Lovely.” Adrian Weale, a writer and officer with the Army Reserve whose son was in the same year as Horatio at Eton, called the paper’s conduct “despicable”. He said “As a parent, I can only imagine the pain his death must have caused to his family. That the Socialist Worker thinks the violent death of a child is a fit subject for humour indicates a level of depravity and insensitivity to the suffering of others which is surprising.” “The Socialist Worker should, at the very least, make a full and unreserved apology to the family and the Socialist Workers Party should immediately dissociate itself from this article and its author.”

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

Dumb thought of the day: in the US we have our own measuring system, and we have a good sense of what's considered "big" when describing / embellishing / lying about things like dick sizes ("yeah, I'm 9" and packing"). What about in every other country in the world where they use the metric system? Do they list themselves as "22cm" on hookup apps? I know we have a lot of visitors and posters from countries outside the US, or people who've visited or traveled overseas. Any notable differences in the way gay guys hook up in other countries? Is a lot of the lingo the same ("top / vers / btm, ddf, you host, be generou$,", etc.) or do they have their own particular brand of shorthand and code phrases? Or are gay guys who are looking for quick sex pretty much the same the world over? And no, I'm not high - just curious.

Perhaps I have a narcissistic personality, but I think part of the appeal of sexual activity is having your own hot body and being able to use it in sexual situations. My body isn't where I want it to be. I'm a 6'4.5" male, I weigh 214 pounds, and my body fat percentage is 20%. I'm not interested in sleeping with anybody when my body is in this shape. And if I'm only attracted to people who are in shape, I certainly have to work on my body. If I want somebody with a good body, I have to be able to give them a good body.

There are genuinely great moments in it, like Michael Jackson and Diana Ross dancing up the yellow brick road while singing "Ease on Down the Road" to an Emerald City of Chrysler Buildings, and the Winkies singing "Ev'rybody Rejoice" to Twyla Tharp choreography. And the cast could not be beat (though Diana Ross was far too old to play Dorothy, and in most of her scenes seems like she's having a seizure). But the film is such a terrible mess.

It was a slow-burning hit that left many devoted fans pining for a second season after it was cancelled back in 2005. Now it looks as though Lisa Kudrow's cult comedy The Comeback is ready to indeed, come back to our screens. The actress was joined by Sex And The City director Michael Patrick King - who devised the show with Kudrow - on Thursday at the HBO TCA Summer Season at The Beverly Hilton. Lisa plays Valerie Cherish in the show, a failed sitcom actress who vies for a comeback into the limelight with the help of a reality show. Very much ahead of its time, King has quipped that there wasn't so much as a 'Real Housewife' when they were first on the air. Talking about the show on Thursday, King says: 'The DNA that we liked about Valerie is her in front of a camera, unedited,' Adding: 'We tried to reflect like we did last time what was happening in television.' The series is now expected to be aired on HBO in November for a six episode run. Actors Malin Akerman and Kellan Lutz - who appeared in the first series as fledgling young actors, and went on to find huge success in movies - are returning to the show.

Judge rules Colorado's gay marriage ban unconstitutional District judge C Scott Crabtree rules 2006 voter approved ban violates state and federal constitutions Associated Press in Denver; theguardian.com, Wednesday 9 July 2014 18.34 EDT\t A judge in Colorado has struck down the state's gay marriage ban. District court judge C Scott Crabtree on Wednesday ruled the 2006 voter-approved ban violates the state and federal constitutions. He immediately put his ruling on hold pending an appeal. Crabtree is the 16th judge to void a state's gay marriage ban since the US supreme court ruled last year that the federal government has to recognize gay marriages in the states.
She''s always been a favorite of mine. She''s from money, went to Madeira (the Jean Harris school) and then Radcliffe. After years of successful stage work, CBS was banking on her sitcom "Just Friends" to make them number one in the late 70s, but it didn''t succeed; but she got famous for "Grease," and then had a career comeback with the stage and film versions of "Six Degrees of Separation" and of course "The West Wing." What''s her story?

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- CBS says popular sitcom star Sean Hayes is joining the cast of its comedy "The Millers" as a series regular. Hayes will play the new best friend of the character played by Margo Martindale and a new source of friction for her son, played by Will Arnett, CBS said on Tuesday. Hayes is best-known from eight seasons on the sitcom "Will & Grace." Last season he starred in the comedy series "Sean Saves the World." "The Millers," which premiered last fall, is a family comedy also starring Beau Bridges and J.B. Smoove. Its second season begins October 30.

They're being summoned here by whatever queen/queens keep posting that MichFest shit. Apparently a certain contingent of DLers has been posting here, and trolling the chat groups of the dyke festival. Ironically I'm guessing we have gay men to think for the unrecognizable destruction of DL by these angry women.

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

The Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday took aim at the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision and the money it unleashed into the political system—and TV and cable coffers—but in a way that will almost certainly not bear fruit, or pare any from that money tree. The committee, following a debate rancorous even when measured against the high bar set in this bitterly divided Congress, passed along pure party lines (10-8) a proposal to adopt a constitutional amendment allowing Congress and the states to essentially restore the limits on direct funding of electoral speech—as in TV ads—by corporations and unions, limits the Supremes ruled an unconstitutional restriction on speech in the Citizens United decision. Such an amendment would require two thirds votes in the Senate and Republican-controlled House and would also need ratification by three-fourths of the states. Then why bring it up at all. Some Republicans said it was a political ploy to win votes in the next election, while Sen. Diane Feinstein suggested it was at least important to have the dialog, though at times it was more like a mutual non-admiration society meeting. So, while the amendment is not going anywhere, it was still a vehicle for Senators to weigh in on trying to: a) Stem the flood of money drowning out the people's voice (Democrats), or b) attempting to gut the First Amendment, favor incumbents, and allow "big media" to influence elections while the voices of others were being stilled (Republicans). Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who has been one of the strongest critics of the Citizens United decision, said the amendment would "begin to undo the damage done by five activist, conservative, Supreme Court justices who have rewritten and distorted the First Amendment." He said those judges' decision had "unleashed a well- funded coordinated effort to release a tidal wave of special interest and corporate money into elections to drown out the voices of average Americans." Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), not one to hide his firebrand under a bushel basket, called the amendment the "single most radical and dangerous proposal introduced in the 113th Congress." He said if it were adopted, it would repeal the free speech protections of the First Amendment, a story that "should lead the evening news on every station." But he had plenty of company. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said the Senate had become an increasingly surreal and hysterical place. He said the amendment would "gut the First Amendment," words he said he never thought he would utter. "Fortunately," he said, the Founding Fathers insured that "harebrained ideas like this could never become law." Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), another leading voice against Citizens United, said that the other sides "hyperbole and scare tactics" were only a way to protect billionaires trying to "jaundice" the political system. He said those billionaires can drown out the speech of everyone else. He said putting an ad on TV 1,000 times when someone else could only afford to put it on once was not a right enshrined in the First Amendment. Never was and never will be, he said Republicans countered that the Democrats were only looking to damper the speech of billionaires they didn't like, but Schumer said it would ban billionaires on both sides, and ought to. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said the amendment appeared to suppress speech rights for everyone but the media. Hatch said the resolution would allow the regulation of anything that influences elections, except the press, which he said would be left alone, though also seeming to suggest that was not necessarily a good thing. "Supporters of this amendment want to manipulate how individual citizens influence elections, or how nonprofit groups influence elections," he said, "but seem perfectly happy to with the way the big media including some of the largest corporations in America influence elections. It is hard to imagine anything that more dramatically affects political equality than to clamp down on ordinary Americans freedom of speech but to give big media a free pass."

First of all- If you've never read Viktor Frankl’s book "Man’s Search for Meaning" then go. NOW! It will twist your mind and make you a better human. Seriously. After that you can understand this post. -------- The surface facts make abundantly clear that the case for the Ex-Im Bank is truly lame. In the most recent year (2013), its credit guarantees and other programs accounted for $37 billion of exports or less than 2% of the $2.2 trillion of exports generated by the US economy. Moreover, by the bank’s own reckoning only about $12 billion of these Ex-Im deals deployed taxpayer subsidies in order to “meet competition from a foreign, officially sponsored export credit agency”. So suppose those latter export deals which purportedly faced unfair competition from foreign governments would not have happened absent Ex-Im financing. We are talking about 0.6% of exports and 0.1% of GDP. That is, we are talking about economic “noise” that is so feint that even Janet Yellen could not detect it! Actually, we are talking about something even more spurious. Fully $8 billion or two-thirds of this $12 billion in competitively disadvantaged exports were attributable to a single customer —the Boeing Corporation (BA). Moreover, the company’s own financial director publicly admitted that it could “find alternative funding sources” without the Ex-Im Bank. So the issue is not $8 billion of commercial jet sales or nothing. Its about the marginal cost of export finance, and whether any incremental costs needed to offset the dumb subsidies of foreign governments should be absorbed by the taxpayers of America or the shareholders of the Boeing Corporation. And the answer to that question is not very hard to ascertain.
Neil Patrick Harris apologized today for using the word “tranny” during a segment of Thursday’s Live with Kelly. “Truly sorry for saying the word ‘tranny’ on Live this week. Twice!” tweeted Harris. “Should have been more thoughtful. Didn’t at all mean to offend.” Guest-host Harris and Ripa had inhaled some sulfur hexafluoride, “helium’s evil twin,” during a science experiment that made their voices lower. Recognizing that he sounded very similar to Buffalo Bill, the killer from Silence of the Lambs, Harris drew laughs when he said, “Put the lotion in the basket.” When the gas expired, Harris said, “I’ve never sounded more like a tranny in my life.” GLAAD accepted Harris apology in a statement this afternoon. “It’s heartening to see a celebrity of Harris’ stature recognize and apologize for using the slur in such a timely manner, and for greater media attention being paid to its use. Many people do not realize that the word ‘tr*nny’ is one of the most hurtful and dehumanizing slurs that transgender people hear. Most transgender people associate that word with personal experiences of violence, hatred and derision.”

Sherri Shepherd does not want anything to do with her unborn surrogate baby ... because she believes her estranged husband defrauded her into having the kid in the first place so he could get child support ... this according to multiple sources connected with the couple. TMZ broke the story ... Sherri and her husband Lamar Sally each separately filed legal docs to end their marriage. The big complication -- a baby will be born this month to a surrogate who signed a contract with Sherri and Lamar. Now our sources say ... the baby was conceived with Lamar's sperm, but NOT Sherri's egg. Now here's where it gets tricky. We're told Sherri does not want custody or even to be considered a parent ... because she doesn't want to get stuck with massive child support payments. Sherri wants a judge to rule she has no parental rights or responsibilities -- which would shut the door to child support. She claims Lamar defrauded her -- that he got her to sign on for a surrogate birth knowing full well he would divorce her and then nail her to the wall for child support. Our Lamar sources say Sherri tried to get pregnant in vitro and when it didn't work she got deeply involved in the surrogacy process. Another twist ... Sherri has filed for divorce in New Jersey and Lamar has filed in California. This is not a coincidence. We did some digging, and found New Jersey courts generally do NOT recognize surrogacy agreements, which means Lamar would probably be shut down. Not so in Cali.

'I have never thought drag was intoxicating, I've never had a fun drunken Halloween in drag, never been in heels, really.

I'm not a super effete person, and I have to turn into that, and in doing so it brings up a lot of homophobic insecurities within myself.' Lean, toned photos:

Never paid much attention but NPH got my attention hosting the Tonys. And he has won an Emmy for his hosting of the Tony's. A poster in another thread on the 8 year old who thinks he is gay provided the link to a interview of them both by Oprah. It is in several parts on youtube. Thoughts about Neil or David?
Today @Davidburtka and I are celebrating our 8th anniversary (a day early). There will be champagne, gifts, sex, and most likely food porn.

Neil Patrick Harris is everything Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals wants in its man of year. He's an award-winning actor of stage, television and film, a singer and dancer, a repeat host of both the Emmy and Tony awards and a magician. On Thursday, Harris was named the collegiate acting troupe's man of the year for his "lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment." "With his enviable reputation as a host and showman, we look forward to hosting Mr. Harris for an entertaining and unforgettable evening to recognize his achievements," Hasty Pudding President Tony Oblen said. Hasty Pudding Theatricals is the nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe, dating to the late 18th century. Harris will be given his pudding pot following a parade through Harvard Square and a roast scheduled for Feb. 7. RELATED: NEIL PATRICK HARRIS DOCUMENTS JOKE DRINKING BINGE IN MEXICO "I assume this is for that pudding wrestling competition I won last April ... right?" Harris said in a statement. "It was dark and seemed quite seedy at the time - I'm stoked that it's connected with Harvard. Fancy! Can't wait." The Emmy Award-winning actor made his name on television as child doctor "Doogie Howser, M.D." and is more recently known for his role as the womanizing Barney in "How I Met Your Mother." Harris has also appeared on stage and in film, including in the "Harold & Kumar" and "Smurfs" movies, and more recently mixed his love of magic and theater in directing "Nothing to Hide," an unconventional magic show.

Some stupid fuck with more money than common sense was caught on camera sleeping at a Yankees Red Sox game. He is now suing the Yanks, ESPN and MLB for $10 million saying the remarks by the announcers have caused him harm. Two problems: 1 - no one would know his name or who he is had he not brought the lawsuit. 2 - none of the things he is claiming the announcers said were actually said.

Neil Patrick Harris isn’t content to host just one major awards show this year. The How I Met Your Mother star will host the 2013 Emmy Awards, CBS announced today. This will be Harris’ second time hosting the Emmy Awards, having first hosted in 2009. Harris will next take to an award show stage when he hosts the 67th Tony Awards June 9; he previously hosted the Tonys in 2012, 2011 and 2009. “I couldn’t be more honored and excited to be hosting this year’s Emmy Awards,” said Harris in a release. “And what perfect timing – I’ll just do the exact same script I’m about to use for the Tonys. ‘And the Emmy for Best Revival of a Musical goes to Breaking Bad!’ See, told you it works.” “Neil is the quintessential host – engaging, entertaining and a true showman – with a passion for celebrating the medium we all love. We’re thrilled for him to return for CBS’s broadcast of the Emmy Awards,” said Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment in the same release. Harris himself is a three-time Emmy-winner, having won for his guest-starring role on Glee as well as for hosting the 2009 and 2011 Tony Awards. The Emmy Awards will air live on CBS Sunday Sept. 22.

With real life married couple Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley taking over the lead roles of Diana and Dan Goodman in the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Next to Normal, we wanted to know what other Broadway couple you'd like to see share the stage. The votes are in, and a whopping 31% of fans want to see Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka duet. Burtka appeared opposite Bernadette Peters as Tulsa in the 2003 revival of Gypsy and also has a reccuring guest spot on Harris' hit TV series How I Met Your Mother. Harris' Broadway credits include Assassins, Proof and Cabaret and he will direct a star-studded production of Rent at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl this August. Speaking of Rent...second place goes to Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs with 19% of the votes. The couple met while starring together in the 1996 Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning musical as frenemies Maureen and Benny. Diggs later joined his wife for a brief 2003 run as Fiyero while Menzel starred as Elphaba in the hit musical Wicked. Third place goes to another couple who've previously shared the stage: Four-time Tony winner Audra McDonald and Will Swenson.

Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting the Tonys again this year, according to reports, after doing a bang-up job with the gig in 2009, hosting the Emmys a few months later, and winning an Emmy for hosting the Tonys a few months after that. Sean Hayes hosted last year, but ratings were down 8 percent under his watch, so it''s back to NPH.
Neil Patrick Harris Will Resume Tony-Hosting Duties This Year
Mia
EXCLUSIVE TO DEADLINE: Neil Patrick Harris will be pulling double hosting duty for CBS again this year. The How I Met Your Mother star, who is emceeing the 67th Tony Awards next Sunday, also has been tapped to host the upcoming 65th Primetime Emmy Awards, which will air on the network September 22. Harris has become CBS’ go-to guy for high-profile hosting gigs. He’s hosted the Tonys four of the last five times and has now fronted the Primetime Emmys the two most recent times the awards have aired on CBS. Just like when Harris made his debut as Tony and Emmy host in 2009, he is emceeing both awards shows this year. “I couldn’t be more honored and excited to be hosting this year’s Emmy Awards,” he said. “And what perfect timing – I’ll just do the exact same script I’m about to use for the Tonys. ‘And the Emmy for Best Revival of a Musical goes to Breaking Bad! See, told you it works.” Harris has received rave reviews for his hosting turns, winning two Emmys for the 2009 and 2011 Tonys. He also delivered a ratings boost for the Emmys in 2009. “Neil is the quintessential host – engaging, entertaining and a true showman – with a passion for celebrating the medium we all love,” said CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler. Added TV Academy chairman and CEO Bruce Rosenblum, “Four years ago, Neil was an amazing Emmy host and we are excited to have him back.” Whimsical musical numbers have been a Harris hosting staple. At this year’s Emmys, his talents will be showcased by veteran awards and music show producer Ken Ehrlich, who signed on to executive produce earlier this month. Ehrlich, who called Harris “one of the most versatile artists currently working in television,” has a strong music pedigree, producing the Grammys for CBS, and has worked with Harris on other awards shows. This year’s Emmys will likely air the night before the final-season premiere of How I Met Your Mother. CBS put the veteran comedy front and center at its upfront presentation two weeks ago, which was kicked off by a musical number by the show’s cast. Star Harris’ presiding over the Emmys will likely give HIMYM’s final chapter an extra boost.

01/07/2013 Neil Patrick Harris is being slammed for "mocking Christianity" with a new Super Bowl ad. Harris is featured in a new commercial wearing eye black printed with "Feb. 3, 2013," or the date of Super Bowl XLVII. The ad is a direct nod to New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, who won't be participating in the Super Bowl but is known for posting Bible verses in his eye black. The "How I Met Your Mother" star's move has sparked the ire of conservative news site WND. Writer Joe Kovacs condemned Harris, who he deems as "making no secret of his homosexuality," as well CBS for the clip: "CBS, the television network airing the big game this year, is now using an outspoken homosexual actor to mimic Tim Tebow’s style of trumpeting messages in eyeblack on his face. One football fan who watched the CBS promo Sunday made the connection between Harris and Tebow, saying, 'They’re pushing a gay agenda by using him, and they’re mocking Christians at the same time.'" As Towleroad pointed out, this isn't the first time eye black has sparked controversy on the field. Toronto Blue Jays shortshop Yunel Escobar took the field earlier this year with an anti-gay slur ("maricon") written in his eye black during a game against the Boston Red Sox. The phrase (with a slight spelling fix) is most commonly translated from Spanish to English as "You are a faggot," according to the Toronto Star. Editor's note: While criticism has come for what some have called Neil Patrick Harris' mimicking of Tim Tebow's eye black, others have pointed out that NPH's image is actually referencing these promotional shots of Beyonce, who will be performing at the Super Bowl this year.

Harris confirmed the news on Wednesday’s Howard Stern show that, before CBS hired Stephen Colbert for the “Late Show” post, network chief Leslie Moonves and entertainment head Nina Tassler pitched him the idea of taking over for either Letterman in the 11:30 slot or for outgoing Craig Ferguson at 12:30. “They called me in and sat me down and asked if that would be something that I’d be interested (in),”’ he told Stern, revealing that the duo even served him “fantastic” sushi at Moonves’ New York office. “I felt like I knew what my skill sets were, and I kind of knew what it is that I wanted to do after the show with (Moonves), so I was surprised he pitched me that idea,” Harris adds. Harris ultimately declined the opportunity because he didn’t have much of an interest in hosting a nightly show for a long time. “I think I would get bored of the repetition fast,” Harris admitted.

I think that NPH has all the qualities that Timberlake is always trying to persuade us that he has. He is smart, creative, at-ease with himself and willing to really bare a little realness when needed. Also he was a child actor but comes off a man of his own. And you like him- if you like him- because his talent fills like it fits who he is. He is not imitating some else.

Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka Have 'No Plans To' Marry When New York State passed marriage equality on June 24th, Neil Patrick Harris and longtime partner David Burtka tweeted their excitement, announcing that they'd be taking advantage of their new freedom to tie the knot. It was a buzzed about piece of news on a night of celebration -- though Haris tweeted the next day that they'd been engaged for five years -- and the wait to hear their wedding plans began. Turns out that wait may be a while. Appearing on "Watch What Happens Live" on Monday night, Harris quashed any notion that he and Burtka, fathers of twins girls, would be getting married, saying "we have no plans to," and that the pair had planned on getting hitched in California until Proposition 8 took hold. Still, he was very excited and supportive of those who did get married in a crush of first day nuptials in New York. "We're certainly not planning a wedding," he said. "But we think it's amazing that eight hundred and some odd people got married yesterday." Maybe it's not surprising -- would Barney on "How I Met Your Mother" ever settle down?!

Neil Patrick Harris has been in New York for several weeks, hard at work preparing for his hosting gig at Sunday%E2%80%99s Tony Awards. His partner, David Burtka, is with him at their Harlem home, and they%E2%80%99re showing the couple%E2%80%99s 8-month-old twins, Gideon and Harper, the city. "They%E2%80%99re enjoying New York; they%E2%80%99re able to wander more here than in L.A. This is more of a walking town, so we%E2%80%99ve strapped on the Baby Bj%C3%B6rns plenty of times, and they like to see all that there is to see here,%E2%80%9D Harris told us at the premiere of Company, the film of the concert version of Stephen Sondheim's musical. Burtka, a chef and an actor, has been attending to his own business affairs while in town, but he filled us in on the family stuff at the premiere. "I've been taking care of a lot of babies, as you know, so I spend a lot of my days doing that. And we've been going out to dinner; we%E2%80%99ve seen almost every Broadway show there is," he said. "They love it, but it%E2%80%99s hard with their schedule because they%E2%80%99re up for two hours, down for two hours. It just keeps going on. They%E2%80%99re sleeping six hours during the day and then twelve hours at night. So it's hard to get them out and socialize a lot, you know? You%E2%80%99ve got that two-hour window. We go to the park and lunch and things like that." So do the babies scream in public places like restaurants? "They are the most fantastic kids," Burtka said. "We have been blessed with two perfect little angels. Happy and sleeping, and it's a godsend. We%E2%80%99re thrilled." Of course, they have help. "We brought a nanny as well, because, you know, I need some time for my things going on as well," Burtka told us. "But she%E2%80%99s great." Even out of Los Angeles, that nanny's life must be pretty surreal. When NPH and Burtka took the family out to the Hamptons, they stayed with their "friends Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos," naturally.

"'Glee' Star Becca Tobin Boyfriend Found Dead In Philly Hotel" 6:10 AM PT Our sources say detectives want to interview Becca Tobin. As we reported, we're told she and Bendik left a club together Wednesday. We do not know if she went back to the hotel with him. Bendik's body was found be a housekeeper just after noon Thursday. 6:00 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us no drugs or drug paraphernalia were found in Bendik's hotel room. And we've learned a detective on scene wrote an incident report, which has no mention of alcohol. We're also told the incident report makes no mention of any medications in the room. And the report says no weapons of any sort were found, and no injuries to his body. Our sources say Bendik was found in his bed and law enforcement sources say it's apparent he died at some point earlier ... possibly in his sleep. 5:00 AM PT -- We're told police and paramedics responded to the hotel shortly after 1 PM EDT on Thursday -- and Bendik was pronounced dead almost immediately at 1:17 PM. 4:30 AM PT -- Philadelphia PD is calling Bendik's death a "sudden death" -- and investigators tell TMZ … at this point, there is no reason to believe foul play is involved. They also say they've seen no evidence of suicide. update_grey_gray_bar 'Glee' star Becca Tobin's boyfriend Matt Bendik was found dead Thursday in a Philadelphia hotel ... TMZ has learned … and the circumstances surrounding his death are mysterious. Sources close to the couple tell us Bendik -- a 35-year-old nightclub owner -- was in Philly on a business trip, and Becca was with him. The couple had been out on the town celebrating with friends Wednesday night -- and we're told everything seemed normal. At some point they returned to their hotel. A hotel maid found Bendik's body on Thursday afternoon. It's unclear at this point where Becca was when the body was found. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner would only confirm that Bendik's body was found, and offered no other details. Bendik ran several major clubs around the country, but especially in Los Angeles … where he was the Director of Operations at DBA Nightclub. He also was a co-owner of AV Nightclub. We're told Bendik was not known as a partier, and friends are shocked and devastated by his sudden death. Calls to Tobin's reps have not been returned. One eerie twist -- Sunday will mark one year since the death of Cory Monteith … who died in a Vancouver hotel room from a drug overdose. DBA posted a tribute to Matt outside of the club.

I'm 70 years old, on disability, and my house is about to be condemned. I have no savings and have not been employed for decades. My sister has money and a big house with 6 extra bedrooms. There's plenty of room for me, my cats, and my unemployed roommate who is also on disability. I've always expected my sister to take care of me in my old age, but she's suggesting I look for senior housing. I don't know how to find government housing. I've prayed about it, but God keeps telling me to live with my sister. What should I do? Also, I love gyros and Chikfila and I'm afraid they won't be served in a senior living facility. Shouldn't my sister take care of me and share her spacious home and money?

[italic]The March 2012 incidents included Craig and Jeter driving the victim to the desert and forcing him to dig his own grave. They then made him get in and threw dirt on him. While the boy was showering, one of the men rubbed salt into the cuts on his back The victim was later tied to a chair with zip ties and placed in the shower. Mace was sprayed on his face At a Bible study later that evening at Remmers' home, Remmers asked the boy to sit in the middle of the group and then squeezed his nipple with pliers.[/italic] I'm not sure if just burning their church to the ground would be enough. I imagine putting their heads in a vice and cutting their eyes out would just be the beginning. I'm hoping they get a taste of prison justice when the other inmates find out they're convicted child abusers.

She is planning on doing it. She says the sex is awesome thus far. She has already purchased the equipment. Apparently she also once had a threesome with this guy and his best friend when she was drunk. She doesn't remember if the guys touched each other or not. What does Datalounge think of this? Is he bi?
They've been enjoying an Italian getaway together. And unlikely friends Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez were pictured flying into Sardinia Airport via a private jet on Thursday. They were accompanied by their host, Italian businessman Gianluca Vacchi and his girlfriend. That day, Gianluca shared an Instagram video hopping out of the private jet and kissing the ground, with the caption, ‘SARDINIA finally!!! enjoy #GVlifestyle’ Zac, 26, and Michelle, 35, were last pictured together at Porto Cervo in Sardinia on July 25, embarking on a boat ride. It appears they have returned after vacationing elsewhere. Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Zac and Michelle looked coordinated on Thursday, and were both clad in head to toe black. The Neighbors actor sported a sweater over shorts with high socks and sneakers and a duffel bag slung over his shoulder. Feeling warm, he then removed his outerwear to reveal a blue and white T-shirt.

We all know this is true. Yes, there's misogynistic gay men, but still, the majority of gays can relate to women more so than to men for some reason. Is it because we grow up gay, and can't really fit in with a society full of straight males, so they look towards the other gender? Is there truth to gay men's brains are more in line with women's? I'm just really curious. It's not bad to somehow have a woman as a role model, but with gay men, it seems overwhelmingly so, more than they can relate to straight men, or men period. Just a sociological question.

Fox's favorite Breitbrat Ben Shapiro was back on Megyn Kelly's show, using any excuse necessary to call the president names and fling as much poop against the wall as humanly possible. I'm not sure how much more one-sided the Obama administration would have to be with their support of Israel in the wake of the escalating violence in the region, but apparently President Obama refusing to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu until late this Thursday was enough of an excuse for Fox's Megyn Kelly to bring on Breitbrat Ben Shapiro so he could call President Obama a borderline Jew-hater. If only that were the case. We've got a problem here in the United States when it comes to our support of AIPAC and of Netanyahu, but the problem is not whether any of our politicians have managed to sufficiently kiss BiBi's ass often enough. Our friend Ellen over at News Hounds has more on the choice of Shapiro to discuss the topic in the first place: Megyn Kelly turned to the discredited, no-smear-is-too-ridiculous Ben Shapiro tonight in a deliberate attempt to use the Israeli/Palestinian conflict to attack President Obama. Sure enough, he complied. In spades. Just as she did with the Chicago violence yesterday, Kelly was obviously more focused on exploiting a bad situation for political gain than in actually discussing it. Otherwise, she would never have chosen Shapiro as a guest. According to Shapiro’s biography, he has no military experience, no foreign policy credentials and no Middle East expertise. That’s not counting Shapiro’s bogus attempt to smear Chuck Hagel as a recipient of funds from a non-existent “Friends of Hamas” organization. Or his ridiculous “race tape exclusive” exposing whom Obama hugged in 1990. Or maybe that’s exactly the kind of bigot Kelly wanted. In any event, Kelly deliberately egged Shapiro on when she asked if there had been anything the U.S. could have done to avoid the military confrontation between Israel, Palestine and Hamas that they are on the “precipice” of. As if Shapiro is in a position to really know. Predictably, he said there was. But rather than dwell on what steps the U.S. should have taken, other than to suggest the State Department should have threatened to withdraw aid from Palestine and not urged Israel to act with restraint, Shapiro moved quickly to smearing Obama: This is an anti-Israel administration. It’s the first administration in American history that is obviously anti-Israel. It’s borderline a Jew-hating administration. …The daylight that has been created between the United States and Israel has emboldened Israel’s enemies and enemies of the United States. Yeah, the conflict that's been going on there for ages is all President Obama's fault because he's "emboldened" the Palestinians. Give me a freaking break. Maybe when we start demanding something is done about these settlements and the extreme poverty and overpopulation that is sitting on Israel's doorstep, things will finally improve in the region. In the mean time though, it's opposite-land as always over at Faux "news."
Fox's Kelly Allows Brietbrat Shapiro To Attack Obama Administration As 'Jew-Hating'

Do not cross this sick bitch. "The smiling blonde cheerleader happily posing in the photograph looks for all the world like an ordinary Texan student, but with one crucial difference: she's posing with a recently shot dead lion. Kendall Jones, a 19-year-old Texas Tech university student, has provoked worldwide fury after posting pictures of herself smiling next to animals she hunted, including a lion, rhinoceros, antelope, leopard, elephant, zebra and hippopotamus. Ms Jones, who claims she is “doing [her] part in conservation to make a difference”, is now the subject of at least two petitions, one of which has 100,000 signatures and calls for her page to be removed from Facebook. The petition on AVAAZ.org asks people to sign "for the sake of all animals, especially the animals in the African region...where hunters are going for fun just to kill an animal". Another petition, on the website change.org calls for Kendall Jones to be denied access to African states."

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

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

Am I the only one who is outraged by the fact that only TWO OF THE SIX police officers who threatened, savagely tortured, choked, tasered twice in the face, and brutalized a vulnerable homeless man who had difficulty to understand orders because he wasn't taking his medication (he suffered from schizophrenia), have been acquitted of all charges? Even more outrageously, no charges have been pressed against the other four murderers. So, apparently, having a badge and having been given "adequate training", gives you the right to crush a man's windpipe (the official cause of death), shatter his nose and cheekbones to smithereens, crack most of his ribs and jump on him until his internal organs are damaged and he starts having a massive internal hemorrhage with absolute impunity. Because, you know, that's "adequate training". This is beyond outrageous, especially because these monsters are going to receive an indemnization and, in all likelihood, keep their jobs after MURDERING an innocent person just for fun. Whatever little faith in humanity I had, has died completely.
WASHINGTON — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says she still supports a Senate-passed bill to outlaw workplace discrimination against gay and transgender people. A number of national LGBT rights groups have withdrawn their support of the Employee Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) because it has a broad religious exemption. The California Democrat says she understands the concerns of gay rights groups. But she says the Senate bill is the only choice facing Congress now. Pelosi has been a strong supporter of LGBT rights. She says gay rights advocates should ask themselves what happens if Congress does not pass an anti-bias bill. She says the groups must decide if that is a good outcome. President Barack Obama is preparing to issue an executive order barring federal contractors from discriminating against gay and transgender people in hiring. A White House spokesman declined to say whether it would include a religious exemption.

In a ruling released late Thursday, Circuit Court Judge Terry Lewis ordered the redrawing of Florida's congressional map, contending that it violates the Fair District standards. In his 41-page ruling, the judge rejected challenges to districts in South Florida and that Tampa Bay but said that District 5, held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, and District 10, held by Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, "will need to be redrawn, as will any other districts affected thereby." The ruling is expected to be appealed by the Legislature, which said in a statement it is reviewing the ruling.

I was just with a neighbor who recently had a husband die and she showed me all her photos of herself and her husband from when they were very young and I was astonished to find that her husband had movie star good looks. It really surprises me. And then I thought, wow, Michael Fassbender would probably look like shit when he ages too. Age is the perpetual enemy of beauty. And then I thought that I don't want to age. I want to stay in my 22 year old body form until the day I die.

Unemployed Idol: Wannabe Congressman Clay Aiken Gets $90K Per Year In Child Support, Claims Source Clay Aiken is really hoping to win the Congressional seat in North Carolina this fall, and not just because he wants to serve his country. RadarOnline.com has learned that he could use the paycheck because the only other steady source of income the former American Idol contestant collects each month is the child support payment from his baby mama, Jaymes Foster, sister of mega record producer, David. Even though Jaymes has primary custody of her five-year-old-son with Aiken, Parker, “Clay is given a substantial amount of child support from her,” an insider revealed. “The basis for the child support payment — which is more than $7,500 a month — is that Jaymes is raising Parker in a very luxurious lifestyle, therefore, Clay needs to be able to maintain and provide that for his son also. So, mommy pays for that.”

American troops in Afghanistan are reportedly using Craigslist to solicit and arrange casual and discreet same sex sexual encounters, according to the Army Times... "Sexual activities in a war zone are as old as wars themselves, but with the advent of Internet personal ads and social media sites, arranging a sexual encounter can become brazen, public and risky. Warnings from commanders, standard guidance for any unit headed to the war zone, appear to have fallen on deaf ears in many cases." As a result, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Afghanistan is now having agents monitor such sites, and investigating any potential sexual encounters as violations of conduct. The Times told the story of one soldier: "One Marine lance corporal...posted an advertisement on Craigslist for a sexual rendezvous. The guy he met at Camp Leatherneck, whom he thought was also looking to hook up, turned out to be an undercover agent with the NCIS." The report then went on to explain: "Online sex solicitation is technically not a crime under the UCMJ. However, commanders have the right to enact regulations that make it a punishable offense." How so? While it may not be against any regulations to post a personal ad, "posting pornographic images on a public web or social media site is a chargeable offense," explained Erin Stattel, a press officer for International Security Assistance Force. "Adultery, pandering, and prostitution" are also on the list of violations. Commanders can also punish soldiers on a case-by-case basis under an article that bans conduct “to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces.” Take the above-mentioned lance corporal for example. Commanders charged him with three violations: "attempting to commit an offense in violation of the UCMJ; failing to obey an order or regulation, and pandering and prostitution." The soldier accepted the punishment gracefully, but did express some resentment to the Army Times: "It was against the rules set forth by the base general, ... so they were doing their job, but what I don’t agree with is how they were pretty much searching for people to arrest." As the report indicates, a majority of the Craigslist ads investigated by the NCIS are by men seeking other men. That does not necessarily mean that the agency is targeting gay soldiers. Retired Col. Dr. Elspeth Cameron “Cam” Ritchie, Army psychiatrist and chief clinical officer for the District of Columbia’s Department of Mental Health in Washington, offered a different explanation. She told the Army Times: “When detached from home, without the ability to openly exercise relationships in a combat environment and with a fatalistic attitude, military members would be inclined to embrace risk-taking. These young men have high testosterone and, with the inability to quietly have a relationship, it is not surprising that they are willing to put themselves into that situation.” UK's Daily Mail took it upon themselves to peruse many of the Craigslist pages in question, posting many racy screencaps on their site. The images depicted standard fare for any casual-sex-soliciting social network pages...disembodied torsos, genitals, and an overabundance of words such as "looking" and "discreet". Naturally, upon discovering news of these casual sexual encounters, conservative activists did not approve.

Let's say there were two candidates you had to vote for in an election One was an extreme right-wing Tea Party candidate The other was socialist democrat who proclaims he is a functioning addict. Drinks himself to a drunken stupor and does drugs regularly. Those are your only two options. Spoiling your ballot or not voting is NOT an option. You have to chose one of the two. Who would you vote for?
Should I be ashamed?
Another Republican scandal has been blown to tiny bits as Hillary Clinton has confirmed that all of her speaking fees from universities are donated to charity. Former Sec. Clinton told ABC News that her speaking fees from universities get donated to the Clinton Foundation, “All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work. So it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation.” The last point the Mrs. Clinton made was an important one. She is not accepting money from a university’s general fund, which comes from student tuitions. University foundations are funded by donations from alumni and others. The whole idea that Republicans have been pushing is that Hillary Clinton was accepting six-figure speaking fees while students are being crushed under rising tuition costs and student loan debt. Republicans are trying to stop Hillary Clinton by taking a page out President Obama’s book. Just as the president did to Mitt Romney in 2012, Republicans are trying to label Clinton wealthy and out of touch. The hypocrisy of this position is mind boggling as it has been the Republican Party that has refused to raise taxes on the wealthy, create jobs, extend unemployment benefits, and offered a platform that can best be described as protecting the rich while screwing the rest. In other words, it is impossible to take their claims that Hillary Clinton doesn’t care about regular folks seriously. It is a valid question to debate whether or not any university should be dishing out six-figure speaking fees to anyone. There are probably better ways to spend their money, but that question has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. If students don’t want the university to spend the money on big dollar speakers, it is something that they need to take up with university itself. What Hillary Clinton is doing is much more transparent than how Republicans collect their speaking fees. Top Republicans have for years insisted that they be paid for their appearances in book purchases. Before he ran for president in 2012, Mitt Romney declined speaking fees, but insisted that institutions buy thousands of copies of his book. Romney was just one example of how Republicans push books that nobody seems to read to the top of the bestseller list. If a university decides that it just has to spend big bucks to lure a national speaker to campus, it is better that the fee goes to charity instead of getting wasted on thousands of copies of a book that nobody wants. This is another attempted Republican scandal that is going to nowhere, but it says a lot about the Republican Party that they are trying so hard to damage Hillary Clinton before the 2016 process has begun. America remains ready for Hillary, and this fact is terrifying Republicans to death.

This was a LONG movie and seemed to take forever to get to its point. I thought the ending was kind of anti-climactic. But Anne Baxter is the real standout in this film.
