I have never heard of such a thing. "That was actually my fifth step in AA at Betty Ford. And someone, when I was moving during the OWN show, must have taken a photo of it. And so that's a really personal thing and it's really unfortunate…I talk about it on the last episode on the OWN show, so to be continued."

Well?
So here’s the gist: comedian Alan Carr appears in a new PETA campaign in which he knowingly camps it up with pink fairy wings and a magic wand and proclaims ‘Be a Little Fairy for Animals!’ Annnd that’s somehow homophobic according the reaction Alan’s received from numerous gay people who see it as a harmful advancement of gay stereotypes in mainstream culture. Like Ryan John Butler who Tweeted, “Anyone find the new PETA ad campaign really fucking offensive? Basically: gay men = fairies.” If a gay man dresses in drag and appears on national television to compete for a prize, does that make all gay men drag queens? If a straight guy shaves his head to appear in a commercial for the Army, do straight men = soldiers? The argument doesn’t even merit consideration. If someone wants to act like a fairy, good on them! Why should we all have to adhere to the heteronormative version of our politically correct identities? How boring… Luckily, Alan has a sense of humor. Here’s how he’s responded via Twitter: The 'fairy' in the @Peta campaign refers to my 'Tooth Fairy' DVD that's all. Take my advice if you act like a victim you get treated like 1. Don't worry twitter they'll be another bandwagon you can jump on in a minute zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Hey and before all you oh so worthy gays get back on your high horse the most homophobia I get is from gays. #selfloathing Anyway let's be positive it's a beautiful day! And let's thank our lucky stars we can actually have this debate/discussion/catfight openly
Gay Guys Accuse British Comic Alan Carr Of Homophobia For Donning Fairy Wings
(AP) - If expanding the guest list to include Michelle Obama at graduation for high school students in the Kansas capital city means fewer seats for friends and family, some students and their parents would prefer the first lady not attend. A furor over what the Topeka school district considers an honor has erupted after plans were announced for Obama to address a combined graduation ceremony for five area high schools next month an 8,000-seat arena. For some, it was the prospect of a tight limit on the number of seats allotted to each graduate. For others, it was the notion that Obama's speech, tied to the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education outlawing segregation in schools, would overshadow the student's big day. "I'm a single mother who has raised him for 18 years by myself," said Tina Hernandez, parent of Topeka High School senior Dauby Knight. "I've told him education is the only way out. This is one of the biggest days of their lives. They've taken the glory and shine from the children and put on Mrs. Obama. She doesn't know our kids." Hernandez was among the parents and students who spoke Thursday at a school board meeting and urged district officials to reconsider their decision to invite Obama. Ron Harbaugh, spokesman for the Topeka school district, said Friday discussions were under way to work out the logistics and planning for the event, including how many tickets each family would be allotted. "We will have a clearer picture of what's going on," Harbaugh said. Harbaugh said officials asked the president or first lady to speak at graduation as a tie-in with the anniversary of the Brown decision, which outlawed school segregation. The district plans to place a priority on seating students and their families, and could broadcast the event to an overflow room at a hotel adjacent to the graduation arena for those unable to find a seat inside. That's not good enough for Taylor Gifford, 18, who started an online petition Thursday evening to urge the district to reconsider its plans. She and the more than 1,200 people who had signed it expressed concern that Obama's visit would limit the seating options for family and friends. "I really would like it to have a peaceful solution, but there is so much misinformation going on," Gifford said. Gifford said her initial reaction to the news was excitement, saying she was "freaking out" about the prospect of the first lady speaking at graduation. When rumors of limited tickets surfaced, Gifford felt like the focus was being shifted from the students to Obama. "People think it's a great opportunity, but it's the graduates' time. They are getting that diploma that they worked so hard for," Gifford said. "Families are feeling that they are being cheated out of the loved ones special day." Abbey Rubottom, 18, a Topeka High senior, described herself as a "die-hard Democrat" but doesn't like the idea of Obama sharing the stage with graduates. "No disrespect for the first lady, and it's amazing that she wants to come speak, I just think it doesn't belong at graduation," Rubottom said. Rubottom suggested separate ceremonies with Obama speaking at one and the address being replayed at the other.
Whoa! Jordan Sargent has balls the size of church bells! Nick: A source I spoke with today relayed what's now a familiar refrain to me: "everybody in Hollywood knew about Bryan Singer." But what he also said was that people like you and Harvey Levin are aware of the culture of barely legal guys saddling up to all types of rich and powerful gay men in L.A. (and New York) but have neglected to publish those stories, for whatever reason. (Because people at the top of very large corporations would be implicated?) Is that claim true? It seems plausible (if not likely) that someone of your stature would have heard whisperings—or seen first hand—the culture that surrounds people like Bryan Singer (and that's to say nothing of Harvey Levin).

Q-tip
Portia de Rossi 'didn't want' to be a lesbian. The 40-year-old actress was very nervous about publicly coming out, something she did in 2005, because she always thought that being gay was 'strange' and also because she didn't know any famous women who were openly lesbians. 'I just didn't want to be a lesbian,' she said in a revealing interview on The Conversation With Amanda De Cadenet. 'I'd never met one for a start and I just thought they were strange and that they hated men and they were very serious and I had these ridiculous images in my head and there were no out celebrities or politicians or anybody that I could look to and go, "Oh, I could be like that". 'There was nobody that I could say, "I could date her and I want to be like her." 'I just kind of thought I don't want to live like this. I don't have to, I don't need to, I just shut down the emotional life.' Not coming out had a very negative effect on Portia's life. The actress battled different eating disorders while she was starring in Ally McBeal from 1998 to 2002, and she believes they were symptoms of her hiding her sexuality. She explained: 'The thing that kept me company was my eating disorder. It was like a lover, it was like somebody who never ever left me. Like a thought that would always keep me excited, interested and focused. It's adrenaline.'
Lawyer Of Bryan Singer's Accuser: More 'Hollywood Insiders' Will Be Named In Sex Abuse Suit The lawyer representing Michael F. Egan III, who has accused "X-Men" director Bryan Singer of sexually abusing him when he was underage, told HuffPost Live on Friday that more recognizable Hollywood figures involved in sexually assaulting young men will be named next week. "There's more Hollywood names. These are other men who Mike alleges were part of these pool parties in California and then also flew to the parties in Hawaii, where they sexually abused Mike. They're Hollywood insiders," said attorney Jeffrey Herman. Herman told host Ricky Camilleri that he and his client have not yet named all parties involved because they need to take "certain procedural steps" before filing additional lawsuits in Hawaii. Herman expects the new names will be made public Monday, though he said under Hawaiian law he has until Thursday to file suit against the other "sexual predators."
Dataloungers vow "We will never stop creating Singer threads". More Hollywood insiders to be named.

I think I do. Not 100% sure. But you look at everything... climate, the economy, political disengagement, the widening income gaps, antibiotics not working, reality TV. How does it get better? Or does it get so bad people have a total shift in thinking and it DOES get better. I look around and I see a trajectory toward ruin, but all that matters is Instagram and the next iWhatever. And if you do think it's doomed... what does doom look like? I'll say this, I am kinda glad I'm closer to the end of my life than the beginning. Somebody hold me, David!

The Avengers movies have a mostly white male cast. All straight, apparently. Wouldn't it be awesome to introduce Captain Marvel (the former Ms Marvel) into that universe, as an amalgam of the Mar-Vell, Monica Rambeau and Carol Danvers versions? Half Kree, and aware of it, but not too different from us until Nick Fury gives her the Nega Bands that give her powers. They're keyed to her unique genes, but when she has them she has her cosmic comic powers- flight, semi-invulnerable, strength and power blasts- plus a link to the Kree. "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" could have her on the team. Hell, she should be named Monica Danvers Mar-Vell, just to give a nod to all three characters. I would watch a documentary on saving albino snakes in Burma if Lupita was the star- she is a true star. Marvel should lock her into a 6 picture deal NOW, and bring a real super powered black woman into the MCU.
I have the strong sense when I'm around women that they operate with a lot of shame. Almost all of the women I know - as direct, fun and open as they can be - seem to be hiding shame of some kind. So what are women most ashamed of? Is it their bodies - the fat, the heavy thighs, the folds, all the things that are anatomically "normal" about being a woman? Is it their genitalia, rather than their bodies in general? Like they feel "dirty" or the menses bother them or leave them feeling unclean (in some weird way)? Is it their families and background? Their lack of education - educated women almost always seem determined to let you know it as soon as they can. What are women so ashamed of? (And, no, this isn't a thread for a poll.)

Blackhawks Coach Joel Quenneville Fined 25K For Grabbing His Crotch, Yelling Expletive By John Amato April 18, 2014 4:52 pm Chicago Blackhawks coach, Joel Quenneville was so upset at a no call for delay of game that he grabbed his crotch and yelled "s*ck my balls" to the referees which was clearly visible to everyone. I was watching the triple overtime playoff game between Chicago and St. Louis Thursday night which was won by the Blues. It was a thrilling game with end-to-end action, but the side story was all about the Chicago Blackhawks coach, Joel Quenneville. He was so upset at a no call for delay of game that he grabbed his crotch and yelled "suck my balls" to the referees. His lips are easy to read in this instance. I was laughing so hard that I made sure to grab the video off of my TV. The NHL fined him 25K for inappropriate actions. [quote]The NHL has fined Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville $25,000 for inappropriate conduct during Thursday's first-round playoff game against the St. Louis Blues. [quote]The puck was sent out of play at 6:51 of the second overtime of the Blues' 4-3 three-overtime win. The officials were meeting to discuss whether the Blues should be called for delay of game after a player apparently shot the puck over the glass and out of play, a penalty that would have given the Blackhawks a 5-on-3 advantage for 36 seconds. [quote]Quenneville was seen on camera gesturing to the officials that the puck went over the glass. When the call went against the Blackhawks, Quenneville appeared to grab his groin area and yell something at the officials. [quote]Quenneville apologized for his actions earlier Friday. [quote]"I was definitely excited," he said. "Disappointed [in] the call, but I'll apologize for my behavior. It wasn't appropriate at all. It was a bush-league move on my part." I love the NHL playoffs. There's almost nothing better in sports than these games.
Has anyone done this? Particularly has anyone here ever done a total reboot where you changed your life and initiated this diet? PLEASE, I'm not looking for advice on various diets of what worked for you outside of this and not in need of various suggestions on any weight loss or diet program outside of this. I'm simply interested in those here who've adopted a Mediterranean diet and how you went into it, and what a source for the easiest recipes might be to begin.

Disclaimer: I usually avoid using slurs of any kind, but for the sake of getting this point across, I'm abandoning that for this blog post. Please do not take offense. There's a conversation happening right now that's long overdue. With growing tensions between the LGB and T components of our community, we are doing little to bridge the gap -- quite the opposite in fact. Instead of binding together to respect one another's viewpoints and have a meaningful discussion about language in our culture, we're jumping on the defense every chance we get -- further hurting the historic bond we have. It has to stop. Gay men: Telling trans people to stop being so touchy and sensitive over language is wrong. For too long they've stood in the dark supporting you for your fight for marriage equality and protections under the law, while you make little attempt to understand their struggles. Why are you jumping to assume this is a new sensitivity or cry for attention? Why aren't you attempting to understand that MAYBE the trans community finally feels like it has enough clout in our society to speak up for themselves? Why are we trying to stifle that and treat them as if their opinions and feelings don't matter? Was there ever a time you walked by a group of straight dudes in high school, calling one another faggots and a little piece of you died inside? It doesn't matter to you that those guys take pleasure in using the word because to you -- it sucks. THAT's what it feels like to trans men and women when you throw around "tranny," like Rhianna's new single. You may use it as a term of endearment, but to others it hurts. And rather than get defensive over using it, maybe we should start exhibiting some compassion and understand how others are affected. Maybe you weren't negatively affected by the word "faggot." I'm happy for you, but there are people who have, so maybe take a moment to understand someone else's experience. Non-trans drag queens: You are not trans. You don't get to throw around hateful terms, either, even if you feel you're reclaiming the word. It's not yours to reclaim. There are women who get beaten by their boyfriends or random strangers, left for dead, where tranny is the last word they hear. It's not a word that represents frivolity and flamboyance or whatever you want it to mean. It's not a joke, and trans people aren't a spectacle. When someone tells you they're offended by your language, instead of jumping to defend your free speech, take a moment to educate yourself on why it means so much to this person that you change your behavior. It's time we start considering each other's stories before assuming our own experiences trump those of others. RuPaul is a poor representative of this ideal. It's one thing to take pride in a term that may hurt other people, but it's another to blatantly fight the understanding of and compassion for those who are negatively affected by it. Trans people: Please understand that there are cisgender gay men who are on your side, and please continue to have this dialogue. I understand you're frustrated, hurt, annoyed, angry, etc. on how you've been treated, and for me to ask patience of you is probably insensitive, but I do ask that you help us be better allies by calmly and eloquently continuing to call us out. Continue to let us know when our words, behaviors and micro-aggressions get to you, but please forgive those of us who make mistakes unknowingly as we work to change our language and understandings to reflect yours. Please don't assume all gay men are ignorant fools, and please -- no more rebuttals beginning with: "Easy for you, cisgender white men of privilege to say..." it doesn't promote healthy discussions either. Being an ally is a constant process of empathy and understanding, and trust me, we will make mistakes -- but it doesn't make us bad people. We have made tremendous strides as a community together. We often think of the Stonewall riots as a momentous time in gay activism, and in many ways it was, but we can't forget that it was a collaborative effort led by LGBT people across the board. People like Sylvia Rivera -- a trans bisexual woman, helped make this happen. In our alienation of our taboo lifestyles, we bound together and created a movement. What happened? At what point did we stop considering the contributions and experiences of others outside of our own? When did arrogance and defensiveness take over our inclination for empathy? Finding middle ground in a community as diverse, artistic, and expressionistic as ours is tough. BUT what we CAN do is respect one another and educate ourselves on how words affect us. It's high time compassion and authenticity and an attempt to understand one another be our goals in this fight for equality. Who knows? Maybe it could be the beginnings of a real revolution.

I haven't been to America for a long time now but I used to like their stuff a lot...not fantastically a lot, but quite a lot. What's it like these days? They were closing a lot of their stores-do they even have stores any more or is it all online now?
I was in NYC in the '80s when it really fell out of favor with anyone who was younger or even slightly hip. It seemed to become less and less desirable, as downtown took over as the place where it was all happening. My little summarisation may be totally off the mark, but I wanted to get the ball rolling and that's sort of how I remember it. I was just wondering what it's like today. I'm guessing the mega-rich parts are even more meg-rich...but what about the peripheries?
A Nevada Republican legislator complained about MSNBC host Chris Hayes’ remarks regarding rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle, yet repeatedly referred to undocumented immigrants as “terrorists” during a combative interview Friday night. “I’m not saying I agree with Cliven Bundy, I’m saying the way this was handled was really suspicious,” state Assembly member Michelle Fiore (R) told Hayes. “When in the heck do we send our federal government with arms to collect a bill? When do we do that? When have we ever done that? I mean, literally, if we sent our federal government to the borders to secure them against terrorist crossing, hey, I got that. But they want to come here with arms because cows are grazing?” Fiore spoke with Hayes from outside Bunkerville, Nevada, where a crowd has formed in support of Bundy. The government holds that Bundy has refused to pay federal grazing fees for two decades, incurring a debt of more than $1 million after losing several court battles. After Bundy declared he would give the government a “range war,” the dispute led to a stand-off between his supporters — many of whom arrived with firearms — and officials from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), who later left the area. But Fiore accused the bureau of “coming up” with the fees in 1993 over unspecified damages, and cut Hayes off when he was about to mention that Bundy’s supporters were armed. Hayes also showed footage of one of them openly discussing being willing to kill or be killed by BLM officials during the stand-off. “Chris, do you want them coming to your house pointing guns at your wife and children? Is that okay with you?” Fiore asked. “Because it’s defnitely not okay with me, it’s not okay with Americans across the United States.” “Is it okay with you if every rancher in the country stopped paying their grazing fees?” Hayes asked. “No, it’s not okay,” Fiore responded. “Well, that’s the issue, right?” Hayes said. “Great,” Fiore replied. “Lien the cows. Lien the property. Don’t come here with guns and expect the American people not to fire back.” Fiore did not mention that conservative media outlets have been keen to cheerlead for future conflicts between the Bundy ranch and federal officials. But when Hayes asked Fiore if she would support any undocumented immigrants who felt it best to have their own armed supporters on hand to resist deportation efforts, Fiore did not answer. “Are we talking about cows, or are we talking about illegal immigration?” she asked, instead. “I’m talking about cows.” “I’m talking about human beings,” Hayes retorted. “Which seems to me even more important.” “Human beings that, thank God, did not get slaughtered,” Fiore told Hayes. “Cows did get slaughtered out here.” “What is gonna happen to those cows later on?” Hayes asked her. “Are you saying it’s okay to cruelly slaughter them because they’re raised for beef?” Fiore shot back. “Is that what you’re saying? I would retract those statements, because it’s pretty sad, Chris.” “Don’t put words in my mouth,” Hayes said. Watch the discussion, as aired on Friday on MSNBC, below.
Nevada Republican defends Cliven Bundy but calls immigrants ‘terrorists’
If you were thinking of catching Johnny Depp's latest flop this weekend: Don't. The Rating's are in and film critics are shocked at what they assumed would be an intelligent and thought provoking movie. Along with Depp, the cast for this movie is stellar. Morgan Freeman, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy, Kate Mara, and Rebecca Hall round out an impressive cast that simply cannot hold this steaming mess together. Check under the cut to see what some critics are saying about Depp's latest failure. Synopsis: As Dr. Will Caster works toward his goal of creating an omniscient, sentient machine, a radical anti-technology organization fights to prevent him from establishing a world where computers can transcend the abilities of the human brain. Rex Reed from the New York Obeserver: On Depp's Performance: It’s the cushiest job in one of the worst movies ever made because the star gets to stay home and blow up the world in his easy chair, phoning in the dialogue Overall: The result is a pointless nightmare of pretentious science fiction twaddle with no plot, no coherence and no heart. You couldn’t find a narrative thread with a microscope. Richard von Busack from Metro Active On the overall film: Pretty damned bad. Another example of 2014 CG used to animate 1974's science fiction ideas. On Director Wally Pfsiter: First-time director Wally Pfister is Christopher Nolan's usual cinematographer, and yet Transcendence isn't distinguished visually; Pfister seems to have absorbed all of Nolan's self-seriousness and none of his livelines Jake Coyle from UT San Diego/Associated Press : On Comparison's Between the film HER and Transcendence: ... whereas"Her" was playful and personal about familiar futuristic concepts, "Transcendence" is clunky and lifeless. It's like the movie version of a paranoid TED talk. On Rebecca Hall's Performance: "Transcendence" ultimately hinges on the relationship of Caster and Evelyn. The excellent Hall, looking a bit confused by what she's gotten herself into, does her best to emotionally ground Pfister's increasingly unfocused and heavy-handed story. Brian Bishop from The Verge On the Christopher Nolan Produced Film: It stars several Nolan mainstays, features the same kind of meticulous photography and production design we’ve come to expect, and mixes a high-concept premise with an intimate emotional core. But the comparisons end there, as the film collapses into a shambling mess of ’90s cyber-paranoia and action tropes that not even the charisma of Johnny Depp can redeem. On the Cast: Depp seems disinterested without a crazy costume or affectation to play with, and while Rebecca Hall is wonderful as his grief-stricken wife, there’s no getting around the fact that the duo have no chemistry together ... The same is true for Bettany, Morgan Freeman, and Cillian Murphy, all exceptional actors who at times feel like they’re starring in outtakes from entirely different movies Alonso Duralde from The Wrap On Plot Holes:This is the kind of film where, by the time you've reached your car in the parking lot, you find yourself asking your date questions like “Why was the nano-technology visible to the human eye?” and “If computer Will can scan Evelyn's biochemical emotional reactions, why can't it catch her lying?” On the One Good Thing About Transcendence: If there's one solid take-away from “Transcendence,” it's Rebecca Hall's performance as a computer genius (she's not just Will's wife, she's his collaborator) so blinded by grief and by the possibilities of pushing science to the next level, that she aids and abets Will's ambitious, terrifying agenda. She remains committed to the character even when the plot's logic goes 404 – Not Found. Scott Foundas from Variety On the Leads and their Performance: Depp fails to convey any real sense of the passion and curiosity that supposedly drive Will Caster to do what he does. The gravely beautiful Hall ... seems to have been directed to deliver her entire performance in an unwavering state of glassy-eyed anxiety.

Chelsea Clinton is pregnant, and some anti-abortion activists responded to the news Thursday by showing they don't understand what being "pro-choice" means: being able to choose to have a baby, or not. Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said she and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are expecting their first child "later this year." LifeNews didn't seem to understand Thursday how a woman who supports a person's decision to not have children could be excited about her pregnancy: Abortion supporter Chelsea Clinton announced today that she’s pregnant — not with a fetus or clump of cells but with a “child.” This is the same Chelsea Clinton who lamented last year that her grandmother didn’t have access to Planned Parenthood. Responses on Twitter were in the same vein. Amanda Carpenter @amandacarpenter I love days like this when everyone recognizes a baby is a baby and not a fetus. RB @RBPundit How far along is Chelsea? Is it still a clump of cells? Andrew Bair @ProLifePolitics Waiting on @PPact to congratulate Chelsea Clinton on her "products of conception."

An earthquake with a magnitude 7.5 struck off Papua New Guinea on Saturday and a tsunami warning was briefly issued for the Pacific Island nation and neighboring Solomon Islands, but there were no immediate reports of damage. The quake, at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), struck 68 km southwest of Panguna on the island of Bougainville, the U.S. Geological Survey said, revising down the magnitude from an initial 7.8. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center later cancelled a tsunami warning for Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands and there was no threat to neighboring Australia or across the Pacific Ocean. At least six strong tremors have hit near Bougainville in the past week or so, including a magnitude 7.3 on April 11, but there have been no reports of major damage. "Certainly it has been very active, more active than usual," said Jonathan Bathgate, a seismologist at Geoscience Australia. "(The spate of earthquakes) is relieving some pressure on this faultline, but we can't rule out another large earthquake." The quake would have been felt strongly on Bougainville and nearby islands, but given its position on the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire" where earthquakes are frequent, extensive damage was unlikely, Bathgate said. However, a local tsunami may have been generated, he added. Readings showed a small wave had been generated, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. In 1998, a magnitude 7 earthquake triggered a tsunami that smashed into villages near Aitape on Papua New Guinea's north coast and killed more than 2,000 people. Resource-rich Bougainville, which neighbors the Solomon Islands, fought a war for independence from Papua New Guinea in the 1990s, leading to the closure of the Panguna copper mine, majority-owned by Rio Tinto Ltd. Bougainville is now an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea.

Old story. Florida, of course. He's rather good looking. He should consider himself fortunate that he is to have "no contact" with Walmart. "The Florida man arrested after he was caught masturbating in the toy aisle of a Walmart with the aid of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has cut a plea deal that bars him from future visits to the retail giant 'or any store where children’s toys are sold,' court records show. As part of a plea deal to indecent exposure and battery charges, William Tyler Black was sentenced to two years of community control, a more severe version of probation that often includes a curfew. Black, 28, will also be subjected to GPS monitoring, according to a Sarasota Circuit Court document that stipulates 'no contact w/ Walmart.' The deal spares Black, who spent a month in custody following his September 14 arrest, further jail time. The conviction, though, will likely have a negative impact on Black’s career as a substitute teacher. Black is pictured in the above mug shot. When confronted by cops, Black admitted that he had been masturbating in the store’s toy aisle, claiming that he was driven to the lewd act after he spotted 'some pretty girls which made him aroused.; He told officers that he 'grabbed a magazine and then found a back aisle and began to masturbate until he relieved himself on the floor,' according to a probable cause affidavit. The magazine he selected was the 2010 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue featuring model Brooklyn Decker on its cover. [Update: Crime scene photos revealed that Black actually opted for SI’s $11.99 'Swimsuit Portfolio,' a bound volume also featuring Decker on its cover.] A Walmart worker told investigators that Black 'ejaculated onto the floor and wiped his hand on a toy along with rubbing his foot in the suspected semen on the floor.' He then 'discarded the magazine behind some toys and proceeded to the front of the store,' employees reported. The defiled toy was a lightsaber (apparently of the 'Star Wars' variety), according to a law enforcement source. Though Black--who claimed he was shopping for a toy for his daughter--assured arresting officers that, 'I swear I’m not a pervert,' and offered to clean up his mess, he was nonetheless charged with a felony and a misdemeanor. One charge, battery on a child, was filed since a 'reasonable person would believe that a child would come in contact with the fluid on the toy being that it was left in the toy aisle of the store.'”

There’s a fair amount of Schadenfreude this week among the New Jersey press corps, as they wait for the other shoe to drop in Chris Christie’s Bridgegate scandal and wonder if it’s Michael Drewniak, Christie’s press secretary and his “id,” as one official calls him. Drewniak is on the hot seat after it emerged last week that he got dinner with former Port Authority official and Christie friend David Wildstein two days before Wildstein resigned. “If Drewniak can’t explain what he did at dinner with David, he’s going to be gone, because the press corps in New Jersey hates him with a passion,” says a Democratic strategist. “If you put him on the train to D.C. this week and turned the lights off it would be like Murder on the Orient Express — he’d have 50 slashes in him. You can only be a jackass for so long before everyone wants to knife you.” As a reporter, it’s hard not to feel your stomach turn while sifting through the documents released from Governor Chris Christie’s office last week, as Drewniak brushes off reporters’ inquiries about the closures (“Fuck him and the S-L [Star Ledger],” he wrote, and then called a reporter “a fucking mutt”). Christie's office wasn't always this way: When he was nominated to be U.S. Attorney by George W. Bush in 2001, remaining in the job until he became governor, he was adept at befriending reporters. But as governor, that changed. “He became like an angry dictator toward the press,” says a former Corzine aide. “The reporters who did his bidding, he’d reward, and the ones who asked hard questions, he’d call morons and idiots, and stick Drewniak, a vulgar guy with serious anger issues and no impulse control, on him. Drewniak is Mr. No to reporters he doesn’t like. He just chokes off access to documents — ‘You want to see this? No.’” Christie stopped calling on reporters he didn’t like, like Ginger Gibson at Politico, and is well known for calling one an idiot and screaming at another about being “the thinnest-skinned guy in America." In August 2009, Zack Fink, currently the statehouse reporter for NY1 but then a reporter for New Jersey Network, the PBS channel in New Jersey, developed a source who told him about a $46,000 loan that Christie had given Michele Brown, a subordinate that he’d promoted in the U.S. Attorney’s office, to pay her mortgage. This raised questions immediately about Christie’s ties to the U.S. Attorney’s office while he was running for governor, and was followed by a string of terrible press for Christie, including a story in the New York Times that said he didn’t report the income from the loan on his personal financial disclosure forms. (Brown was eventually forced to resigned, though Christie rehired her when he became governor — something that is perceived as a middle finger to those who revealed their relationship.) “When Zack Fink broke the story about the undisclosed loan that Christie had made to Michele Brown, it was without a doubt the most important story of the 2009 race,” says Lis Smith, who was a press secretary for Corzine during the campaign. “Corzine was down double digits in the polls then. None of our campaign’s attacks were gaining any traction. Once Zack wrote that story it opened the floodgate to a whole new range of stories that hadn’t been out there before — how Christie ran the U.S. Attorney’s office, how Michele was using the attorney’s office to benefit Christie’s campaign, even a traffic incident with Christie and Brown where Christie acted in an abusive and vindictive manner.”

These were the people I asked to come over Sunday at 9 for drinks & to watch "Game of Thrones" (they don't have cable) who would have brought their dog had I warned them not to. The friend just emailed and told me his partner wanted to bring something, "perhaps a savory pie." I find dishes like that disgusting, and wrote back to him asking them not to bring anything, just themselves. He wrote again saying, "But my partner insists we bring something!" and I responded, "If you really want to bring something, just bring a simple snack... please, nothing elaborate, and please, please, nothing savory." I already regret inviting them over.

A new coach is reportedly coming to The Voice, and she ain’t no Hollaback Girl. Gwen Stefani is currently in talks to temporarily take over Christina Aguilera‘s swivel chair, according to The Wrap. Per the report, Stefani will take Aguilera’s spot in Season 7, while Aguilera — who is said to be taking time off due to her current pregnancy — is expected to return for Season 8. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, neither of whom have missed a single season yet, are also expected to continue. Stefani’s addition to The Voice would be the latest in a series of major announcements, following news of Pharrell Williams taking over for Cee Lo Green.

I've been taking cold showers for last 2 months or so and have noticed an improvement in my skin. Hot showers practically sucked all the moisture out of my skin to the point where it would flake until I put lotion or cream on. With cold showers, my skin is much less dry although I still need lotion due to moisture-stripping effects of my soap. Aside from that, the sudden discomfort of stepping into a cold shower has done wonders for early morning grogginess. Anyone else take cold showers?

Dustin was set to deliver the commencement address at his Alma mater Pasadena City College. But the offer has now been withdrawn, citing concerns about his sex life. Board President Anthony Fellow said. “We’ll be on the radio and on television. We just don’t want to give PCC (Pasadena City College) a bad name.” For his part Black has written an open letter (regarding his sex life and the photos that were leaked) which in part reads "old images from a far simpler time in my life, a time before digital camera phones and Internet scandals. They were photos of me with a man I cared for, a man who shared my Mormon background, and who was also struggling with who he was versus where he came from. And yes, we were doing what gay men do when they love and trust each other, we were having sex." Read the full letter below

s that the Loch Ness monster in this satellite photo used by Apple Maps? Or at least something that looks like a giant biological form underwater? It's similar to the shape spotted in Google's satellite imagery. Could it really be an underwater creature, a long-forgotten aquatic dinosaur who can magically live for thousands of years? According to Loch Ness "experts" Peter Thain and Andy Dixon, this can't be anything else but the monster: When Andy got in touch at the beginning of the year, we finally managed to locate a device that had the image on it and asked some boating experts to look at it. They confirmed that while it looks like a boat wake, it cannot be a boat as there is no hull or superstructure visible. This is confirmed by the fact that there are clear images of other boats in the pictures. Of course, they seem to be conveniently unaware that these satellite photos get stitched together into bigger images, sometimes introducing artifacts. Or maybe it's just an easter egg left by some Apple employee. You can check it out here (you need Apple Maps on OS X.) It looks to me like it could be just the trail of a ship in the lake.

The damn thing was getting out and climbing all over my car, leaving paw prints, and shitting in my flower beds. So I called animal control and they brought me a trap, I trapped it, called them back, and they came out to pick it up. Neighbor came home just in time to see the animal control van driving away. Now, I had never mentioned that I was going to call animal control or trap the cat, but I had told her about the cat prints and cat shit and asked her to keep her animal off my property. She offered some lame excuse and went on her sweet way. But yesterday, she sees the animal control van and starts running down the street after it. Then she starts back toward the house, screaming at me "You'll pay for this!" as she runs in and slams the door. Not 15 minutes later, she sends her sniveling little crotch dropping over to tearfully ask me why I took his cat away. I told him to go home. This morning, I hear a big ruckus next door, car doors slamming, etc. So I peek out the curtain to see her and her son getting out of the car with the cat, making a big show of having gone and gotten it out of kitty jail, so I'd come out and see. I simply opened the door and waved at them, making sure they saw that I saw. I'm sure I've started WWIII with these people now. Goddamn, they are tedious.

I'm curious because it seems like a lot of fashionistas rely on externals like clothes and shoes to define their style; they think that by wearing certain items they're shaping their personal style. But then you have people like Rihanna who, love her or hate her (and I'm just using her as a modern-day example), can wear a plastic bag and look like a star. It seems like style is more about bringing life and personality to your clothes than the other way around. Agree or disagree? I'm also curious to know who you all think has great personal style in this sense--i.e. someone who exudes style rather than being a clotheshorse.

Have any of you read this report from January, 2014 about the future of the city? It's pretty terrifying. I've been here nearly all my life but it's time to rethink that in the very near future. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts beyond the "L.A. is a shit hole. L.A. is a third world country." stuff. The opening paragraph: Los Angeles is barely treading water while the rest of the world is moving forward. We risk falling further behind in adapting to the realities of the 21st century and becoming a City in decline. For too many years we have failed to cultivate and build on our human and economic strengths, while evading the hard choices concerning local government and municipal finance presented by this new century. Like the hapless Mr. Micawber in Dickens’ “David Copperfield,” our wishful response to continued economic decline and impending fiscal crisis has become a habitual: “Something, my dear Copperfield, will turn up.” The City where the future once came to happen has been living in the past and leaving tomorrow to sort itself out. As a consequence, Los Angeles is sinking into a future in which it no longer can provide the public services to which our people’s taxes entitle them and where the promises made to public employees about a decent and secure retirement simply cannot be kept. City revenues are in long-term stagnation and expenses are climbing. Year by year, our City—which once was a beacon of innovation and opportunity to the world—is becoming less livable.

Oh, THAT billion . . . no idea. Former Senator and CEO of MF Global can't say what became of $1.2 billion in clients' funds.
She says, "Saxophones don't belong in rock 'n' roll." But wasn't the first unofficial rock song considered to be Bill Haley & the Comets' "Rock Around the Clock"? And The Dave Clark 5 from the 1960s British Invasion featured a saxophone player in the band.
A Congressional panel has asked Jon S. Corzine to testify about the downfall of MF Global, and the hundreds of millions of dollars in customer money that went missing in the brokerage firm’s final days. The hearing, scheduled for Dec. 15, will be a role reversal for Mr. Corzine, who spent five years on Capitol Hill as a Democratic senator from New Jersey. As a Congressional witness, Mr. Corzine is expected to come under fire for presiding over MF Global as it caused the futures industry’s first major breach of customer money. A spokesman for Mr. Corzine declined to comment on Tuesday. The hearing, organized by the oversight unit of the House Financial Services Committee, could present the first public grilling of Mr. Corzine about his risky bets on European sovereign debt, wagers that ultimately doomed the firm. Lawmakers are also planning to question Bradley Abelow, the firm’s chief operating officer and Mr. Corzine’s chief of staff when he was governor of New Jersey. It is unclear whether Mr. Abelow and Mr. Corzine, who resigned as MF Global’s chief executive earlier this month, will accept the request that they testify, though the subcommittee could subpoena the executives if they balk. Mr. Abelow received the request on Tuesday and plans to respond soon to lawmakers, said a person close to the company who was not authorized to speak publicly. The hearing will overlap with an intensifying federal investigation into MF Global. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is leading the search for the missing money while the Federal Bureau of Investigation and federal prosecutors in New York and Chicago are examining potential criminal wrongdoing. Neither the firm nor Mr. Corzine have been accused of wrongdoing. Investigators now believe that much of the unaccounted-for customer money left the firm as the company was beginning a tailspin late last month, said people briefed on the matter who requested anonymity because the investigation was still under way. Regulators suspect that MF Global used some of the money to meet its own financial obligations, which could mean that those funds are gone forever. The exact amount of missing money is undetermined, and it changes by the day. On Monday, the trustee overseeing the dismantling of MF Global’s brokerage unit pegged the number at around $1.2 billion, twice the previous estimate. Forensic accountants from Deloitte and Ernst & Young working for the trustee, James Giddens, came to the much larger estimate after they spent roughly three weeks reconstructing the firm’s books. Regulators were taken aback by the announcement, signaling the first hiccup in an otherwise smooth investigation, according to people briefed on the matter. The trustee’s office gave regulators little more than 20 minutes’ notice before it publicly released the finding, according to the people. Now, some regulators are questioning the $1.2 billion figure, suspecting that the trustee double-counted $220 million that had been transferred between units of MF Global, according to one of the people briefed on the matter. Over the last day, the C.F.T.C. has tried to independently check the numbers. The CME Group, the exchange where MF Global did most of its business, disputed the larger figure on Tuesday. In a statement, the exchange said it was “confident reports of significantly larger shortfalls are incorrect.” Kent Jarrell, a spokesman for the trustee, stood by the larger estimate, while noting that it was preliminary. Mr. Giddens is charged with returning money to MF Global’s customers. Customers — including farmers in Iowa and hedge funds in New York — have slowly received a portion of their accounts. The trustee has distributed at least $1.5 billion over the last three or more weeks, though that remains a fraction of what customers are owed. In bankruptcy court in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday, Judge Martin Glenn approved a proposed claims process for the trustee to dispense additional funds. Mr. Jarrell said that electronic application forms would be posted to the trustee’s Web site and that claims would be evaluated soon. Also on Tuesday, the trustee started receiving a flow of some $1.3 billion in MF Global customer funds that were stored at Harris Bank. The funds, made up of foreign currencies, securities and cash, will give the trustee additional money to return to the MF Global customers, though it does not reduce the overall shortfall in funds. “It’s the last big pot of money held in U.S. depositories,” Mr. Jarrell said. The CME Group also increased a guarantee it had offered the trustee in case there was a shortfall as customers received their money. The exchange will now provide, in essence, a $550 million insurance policy to the trustee’s office, up from $250 million. Lawmakers are also questioning the sluggish progress in returning money to customers. At the MF Global hearing next month, the House subcommittee plans to scrutinize the lingering woes that the firm’s customers face. Lawmakers hope to interview top regulators about their oversight of the firm. They plan to call on Robert Cook, head of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s office of trading and markets, and William C. Dudley, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Gary Gensler, chairman of the C.F.T.C., will also be asked to testify, though Mr. Gensler has recused himself from the case after fearing that his past ties to Mr. Corzine would distract from the investigation. Mr. Gensler, who once worked for Mr. Corzine at Goldman Sachs, is unlikely to testify, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
Jon Corzine In Deep Shit, Called To Congress To Testify Over Missing Billions
The IRS has been stealing tax refunds from poor people for the last 2 years, claiming that their parents got more money than they needed. I hope this will help some DL denizens get the money they stole from you back. --- Tens of thousands of Americans have been bushwhacked by a single arcane sentence in a 673-page law Congress enacted six years ago. The Internal Revenue Service is seizing both federal and state tax refunds for individuals whom the Social Security Administration accuses of having received excessive benefits years ago. Except that the government often has zero evidence of the overpayments, and the feds have held children liable for the alleged debts of their long-dead parents.

Mine, the 70's. My dad listened to a lot of Donna Summer and late 70’s disco in the car when we were driving around and stuff, I still love that music. was quite a spaced out kid. The only thing I thought about was how glamorous it would be to run away from home. It wasn’t even a rebellious thing really, I would ask my mom what I should pack if I run away. I was in love with Andy Gibb and pretended he was my boyfriend.

Crazy ass. Tom Joyner, Sybil Wilkes and J. Anthony Brown are still shaking their heads over this morning’s bizarre interview with Scandal actor Columbus Short. To put it lightly, he was less than a gladiator on the show this morning. Short was already generating controversy for three domestic violence allegations. The most recent one accompanied his estranged wife Tanee McCall‘s third divorce filing where she said he pulled a knife on her and threatened to kill her and himself. Short responded to the allegations by saying his legal counsel had forbidden him to speak but that he would have his turn in court. After Thursday’s explosive Scandal finale, Short called in for his previously scheduled interview on Friday, but the interview soon took a strange turn. Although we’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt as he was calling in at 4;45 a.m. Pacific time, he still sounded….off and even called Tom the “n” word. Yes, he did. Since Short’s fate as gladiator Harrison is in limbo after he was apparently shot in the season finale, we’re not sure what Shonda Rhimes is now going to do with his character. She must be thinking “Again?” after another scandal felled actor Isaiah Washington‘s character on Grey’s Anatomy some years ago. Can we suggest that Short is in need of his own Olivia Pope in real life…and quickly?
well?
Yay or nay?

Michael Alig, the quintessential party boy who reigned supreme over New York City’s gay party scene throughout the early ’90s, is due to be released from jail on May 5, according to a personal friend reporting for BlackBook. Alig is credited with fueling the early days of the “club kid” scene and throwing some of the greatest and most historical gay events in a pre-Giuliani New York City. His life and conviction inspired the Fenton Bailey-directed movie Party Monster, which detailed the events leading up to March 17, 1996 — the day Alig murdered and dismembered the body of his drug dealer Angel Melendez in the apartment they shared. Alig’s arrest was largely credited to Michael Musto’s unrelenting reporting for the Village Voice at the time. The investigation also led to the arrest of Peter Gatien, a legendary New York club owner who is now banned from entering the United States. Alig has been up for parole several times since 2006, but was allegedly denied after his parole officers obtained and watched a copy of Party Monster. (FYI, for those interested, a more informational documentary about Alig’s life was released in 1998, called Party Monster: The Shocukmentary. It’s available to stream on YouTube.) According to BlackBook writer Steve Lewis, Alig has been recruited for creative jobs and will stay with a friend once released from prison. “There is no chance that he will return to clubs as a way of life,” he says, “but he will paint and write, and as always, try to impact the way we think.” Alig has reportedly “never used a computer or cell phone, but has remained keenly aware of the world we live in.” Furthermore, after several visits in the past few years, Lewis believes Alig has been rehabilitated: I was for many years Michael’s friend. Like so many others, I left him behind when drugs and power created a “Party Monster.” We reconnected in recent years, and during my visits to him in prison I observed the Michael Alig that I loved—the Alig prior the downfall. I believe he is ready to enter the world, and that reentering will be a good thing. No one, no act, no time, no hatred will bring back Angel, but Michael has served a great deal of his adult life in a bad place. I believe he has been rehabilitated. I believe he is forever remorseful and I look forward to his redux. To those who say nay, I respect that, but hope chances are given, and that we can move on. It is a time to remember Angel and reflect on the meaning of life. For me, forgiveness is part of it.

I thought some of you bitches were exaggerating, but I now humbly apologize for having had those doubts. Christ on a cracker! I tuned into CNN at three different times today, and on each occasion, they were discussing the missing Malaysian plane. That's it. No mention of the economy, no mention that Russia is probably going to do some more invasions, nothing whatsoever. Obviously, money talks and bullshit walks, so they must still be getting high viewership and ratings from this, but how long will this go on? The guests are bored as they provide their commentary, the reporters have this "please shoot me" expression, and yet they are not budging off the story at all. This could take months or even years to find--if ever. When will they blink?
Duck Dynasty Show Canceled Due to Lack of Ticket Sales! Things just keep getting worse for the Duck crew. A Duck Dynasty live show that was scheduled in Springfield, Missouri has been canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” What were those circumstances? Well, a devastating lack of interest, of course! Simply put, the Duck bigots’ appearance failed to generate enough ticket sales to justify the appearance. Tickets were to be sold for $37, $50, and $58 a pop, according to FreakOutNation. The cast was to talk about ““living the American dream as they operate a thriving business while still staying true to their family values and modest lifestyle.”

The "X-Men" director, who is accused of sexually abusing a 17-year-old boy, is no longer set to appear at the May 2 conference along with the vice president, a source tells THR. Beleaguered X-Men director Bryan Singer has dropped out of an upcoming “Creativity Conference” in Washington, a source tells THR. The filmmaker, who is being sued by a 31-year-old man who alleges Singer sexually abused him in the late 1990s, was scheduled to appear along with Vice President Joe Biden at the conference, which is being co-sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America, Microsoft and ABC News as part of the festivities surrounding the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner. Michael F. Eagan III has filed a lawsuit alleging Singer drugged and raped him and offered movie roles in return for sexual favors. At a news conference this week, he also alleged that his mother reported the alleged abuse to the FBI in Los Angeles in 2000. An FBI spokesman confirmed that a complaint had been made, but added, “The suggestion that the FBI ignored evidence involving the victimization of a child is ludicrous.” Singer's attorney Marty Singer has released this statement: "The claims made against Bryan Singer are completely without merit. We are very confident that Bryan will be vindicated in this absurd and defamatory lawsuit. It is obvious that this case was filed in an attempt to get publicity at the time when Bryan's new movie (X-Men: Days of Future Past) is about to open in a few weeks," he said. Singer was tapped to participate in the DC "Creativity Conference" along with a list of experts from entertainment, technology and politics to "examine their power as an economic engine and driver of innovation." Biden is expected to make a keynote address. Other participants include actor Tony Goldwyn, who plays the president on ABC's Scandal; Supersize Me filmmaker Morgan Spurlock; and Sean Bailey, Disney Studio's president of production.

Is it too early to predict the Emmy nominees? Ryan Murphy’s loooong-awaited film adaptation of The Normal Heart, one of the two or three great American plays about the impact of the AIDS epidemic, is likely to receive a lion’s share when they’re announced in July. HBO has just released a full-length trailer for its celluloid version of Larry Kramer’s devastating (and somewhat autobiographical) 1985 play which will premiere on the premium cable channel May 25 and it’s the most powerful 1:30 minutes of video we’ve watched all week. It all begins on a happy note in 1981 with Mark Ruffalo, Jonathan Groff, Taylor Kitsch and pals convening on Fire Island for what appears to be a memorable party weekend. Then Groff begins to cough and drops to his knees on the beach as the water rushes in, symbolizing that AIDS has just entered the lives of this close group of friends. Ruffalo stars as Ned Weeks, the Kramer-esque protagonist, a man who refuses to remain silent as he and his friends become stricken with this mysterious and, in many cases, fatal new illness. Julia Roberts makes a rare small screen appearance as Emma Brookner, a wheelchair-bound doctor, who has an exchange of dialogue that Ruffalo that succinctly sums of the impact of both Kramer and his landmark play: “Where’s this big mouth I hear you’ve got?” Brookner asks. “Is big mouth a symptom?” Weeks questions back. “No, it’s a cure,” she offers. Powerful stuff, right? The Normal Heart also features a stellar supporting cast with many openly gay actors, including Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons, Denis O’Hare and Joe Mantello.

This famous actor introduced his new baby to you last year. So cute and so sweet! Only the baby isn’t really his. It’s a stunt baby. There were lots of rumors about his sexuality swirling in the past year or two. It was a problem because he does action films and the public needs to see him as straight. There simply are no openly gay action actors who land leads as action heroes. So a publicity stunt was crafted. He and his "girlfriend" suddenly had a new baby! It worked, too. Gay rumors about him disappeared practically overnight and he continues to land macho film leads. So, to whom does the baby actually belong? The Actor’s sister! She even moved her family to L.A. so that he can occasionally take Baby out for photo ops.

If ever there was an incident made for DL. I did a search and could not find a previously posted thread. Atlanta — Legendary singer Patti Labelle arrested and charged with assault and battery after attacking Aretha Franklin. The singers were in Atlanta for an R&B/Soul concert on March 20th when they ran into each other backstage. Labelle was still fuming from a recent run-in with Franklin at the White House for the “Women of Soul” concert. While Aretha Franklin was making her way to the stage, Labelle extended her hand to greet the “Respect” singer, when she threw epic shade in an effort to avoid her. The two exchanged obscenities after the event and parted ways. While at the concert in Atlanta, Labelle attempted to approach Franklin to resolve their outstanding issues, but Franklin once again turned up her nose. Onlookers say Labelle quickly removed her wig and earrings as she approached Franklin. Aretha, knowing that the removal of earrings is a tell-tale sign that a fight is about to ensue, attempted to prepare herself for the confrontation. Franklin was quickly struck with a Mayweather style right and left and stumbled backwards, landing awkwardly. Bystanders subdued Labelle and escorted her outside of the venue. Franklin suffered only minor injuries.

Kim Novak says that cruel jabs about how she looked during the Oscar ceremony amounted to bullying that left her crushed at first, but then determined to speak out in protest. "It really did throw me into a tailspin and it hit me hard," Novak, 81, said in a telephone interview Thursday, after she released an open letter condemning remarks by Donald Trump and others about her appearance. In her letter, Novak said: "I will no longer hold myself back from speaking out against bullies. We can't let people get away with affecting our lives." She had initially remained silent after serving as a presenter with Matthew McConaughey at the March 2 Academy Awards because the comments were so painful, Novak said from her home near the Rogue River in Oregon. "For days, I didn't leave the house, and it got to me like it gets kids and teenagers" who are attacked, she said. Trump tweeted during the Oscars that Novak should "sue her plastic surgeon," while others noted how unnaturally smooth-faced the veteran star of "Vertigo" and other classic films looked — even though actresses are pressured to look forever young. "I'm not going to deny that I had fat injections in my face. They seemed far less invasive than a face lift," Novak wrote in her letter, adding, "In my opinion, a person has a right to look as good as they can, and I feel better when I look better." Novak's Oscar night speech, which some observers characterized as halting, was the result of a pill she had taken to relax and a three-day fast, she said in her letter. Novak wasn't the only older actress targeted at the Oscars. She was disturbed, she said, when ceremony host Ellen DeGeneres singled out audience member Liza Minnelli, 68, and pretended to mistake her for a male impersonator. "Good job, sir," DeGeneres said. Novak said she retains dark memories of her years as a young actress in Hollywood, when she suffered from untreated bipolar disorder and was acutely sensitive to the industry's casual snideness and harsh reviews of her lesser films. But the Oscar sniping took her aback, Novak said, because she had been given such a gracious welcome during a visit last year to Cannes, France, and gets warm notes from fans. "I thought, 'Perhaps Hollywood is ready to receive me in a different way.' I was just not prepared for such a negative reaction and it just caught me off guard," she said. Comments spread fast and far online, she said, and people don't realize you're listening. "It goes over in such a public way now," she said. It was a commitment to appear at the TCM Film Festival last week that changed her mind about going public with her concerns. Novak, an artist with an upcoming exhibit at the Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio, also showed one of her works, a "Vertigo"-related painting, at the festival. She was well received during her initial appearance but felt she had to "take the bull by the horns" and deal openly with the treatment of her and Minnelli, she said. Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne agreed to discuss it during an interview that preceded a festival screening Saturday of her film "Bell, Book and Candle." Novak, who said she takes medication for her disorder, decided afterward that she wanted to spread her message more widely and asked her longtime manager, Sue Cameron, to release the letter. "I realized that I had to stand up not only for myself but for other people that don't have the courage to do so," Novak said. "I feel like I have a mission."

The far-right Christian Patriarchy—brought to American audiences by the Duggar family—is on the verge of collapse after a series of alleged sex scandals involving the movement’s leaders. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have put many years and a lot of work into putting a smiling, nearly normal-seeming face on the extreme Christian right. The couple adheres to a fringe strain of fundamentalist Christianity dubbed the “Christian patriarchy” or sometimes the “Quiverfull” movement, and while there is a lot of internal diversity to the movement, they generally preach a combination of beliefs that run counter to mainstream America: absolute female submission, a ban on dating, homeschooling, a rejection of higher education for women, and shunning of contraception in favor of trying to have as many children as humanly possible. The movement is controversial even within Christian right circles, but the Duggars have tried to counter that with their popular reality TV show 19 Kids & Counting, where they present themselves as a wholesome everyday family that just happens to be a little more fecund and conservative than average.

This show is going for ATL-style ratchet. Radziwill WROTE her book. She spent 3 decades writing copy for ABC News. There is no question she can string a few words together on her own. Aviva's stupid-ass has never done anything except birth some babies and have anxiety attacks. Any nitwit knows the difference between a ghostwriter and an editor or proofreader. That bitch was on TV slandering Radziwill, telling folks that after 30 years of being a professional writer she used a ghostwriter to write a f*cking MEMOIR (??!!) If I were Princess Carole -- and not obviously suffering the effects of anorexic wasting disease -- I would have sailed across that sofa onto Aviva and beat her ass so hard and savagely that her prosthetic leg would have been the only evidence that she ever existed. Aviva IS a fucking psycho! The show has gone completely beyond the pale. I can't wait for Heather the stomp the sh*t out of Aviva's freaky sycophant, Elphaba or whatever.

Her name is Roxy. She has something called pyrometra. I think it mostly occurs in dogs, but my poor baby girl has it and she has to have surgery. I feel like a terrible daddy because I lost my job 2 months ago and I can't afford it. I actually started a site because I'm so desperate. I don't really expect people to donate but I'm at that point where I just can't stand to see her like this. She'll be so sweet, rolling around wanting me to rub her belly. Then she jumps up and runs off. She'll start howling in pain. She looks up at me and I know she's asking me for help and it breaks my heart that I can't do anything. I'm about to lose my apartment but I really don't even care about myself at this point. I feel like I'm letting her down and I feel terrible. I look at her and just start crying sometime. I know it's pathetic but I feel an obligation to her. I've had her since she ws a kitty and the thought of losing her depresses me beyond the point I thought was possible. Beyond my pathetic fundraising attempt does anyone know any organizations that help in this type of situation. I don't want my fuzzy girl to die because her owner is a loser who can't find a job.
The new scripted drama premieres tonight. From the creator of "The Tudors" and starring former CK underwear model Travis Fimmel and Gabriel Byrne.

Kind of like some of the guys I've known from real life. I want to see wanton pillaging and bedroom intrigue.

Tom Daley: I’m definitely gay not bisexual 3rd April 2014, 10:45 AM; Scott Roberts Five months after saying he still fancied girls, Tom Daley says “I am a gay man now”. Speaking on ITV2′s Celebrity Juice the 19-year-old Olympic medalist also said his relationship with Oscar winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, 39, is “all good”. Explaining why he initially suggested he was bisexual, Daley said: “I came out on YouTube as I wanted to say what I wanted to say without anyone twisting it. “I told my family before I told the world. I was terrified. I did not know what the reaction was going to be. “I did it on YouTube because people were constantly digging and asking questions.” Daley’s relationship with Black was exposed days after he posted the coming out video. “It really was love at first sight,” Daley told ITV’s Jonathan Ross after going public with their romance. “I’d never felt anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn’t even spoken to him all night. “I didn’t know what to do or if he was gay at first. I made the first move, I typed ‘call me’ in his notes with a smiley face on this phone and the next day he texted.” Celebrity Juice airs tonight on ITV2 at 10pm.

Who are the actresses and actors (and directors and writers) who fucked themselves the worst, and lost the potential of great careers over a long period of time? Aside from the obvious picks of psychological messes such as Marilyn, and Montgomery Clift (who didn't do too bad even if they were self-destructive), who could have been better or bigger but threw it all away? I think Mickey Rourke had a lot more going for him than he ever managed to make happen. He killed it. KZJ may have picked up an underserved Oscar for reasons beyond my comprehension, but her combined mental and substance issues really screwed what could have been a wonderful career. Just go back to her big break in ZORRO and see how great she could have been. Bening fucked herself with that marriage. What was she thinking. THE GRIFTERS alone is evidence enough of someone who should have had a huge career, not just one that has always felt like "almost" and "yeah, but." AMERICAN BEAUTY should have had a series of similar accomplishments. Some people might include Winona Ryder here, but I think she's an example of someone who did well for no reason associated with talent. Inept at every turn. Her klepto mess was just the public piece of a great disorder that spared us even more bad performances, right? Glenda Jackson is a special case - she hit the top of her niche and stayed there a while, and then walked away. A rational career destruction.
Journalist Jo Becker has a new book out on the marriage equality movement. The revolution began, it appears, in 2008. And its Rosa Parks was a man you would be forgiven for knowing nothing about, Chad Griffin. Here’s how the book begins – and I swear I’m not making this up: This is how a revolution begins. It begins when someone grows tired of standing idly by, waiting for history’s arc to bend toward justice, and instead decides to give it a swift shove. It begins when a black seamstress named Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in the segregated South. And in this story, it begins with a handsome, bespectacled thirty-five-year-old political consultant named Chad Griffin, in a spacious suite at the Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco on election night 2008. After that surreal opening, the book descends into more jaw-dropping distortion.

Wearing tshirts and waving Red Sox banners doesn't make you "strong". What the fuck was the city supposed to do anyway, melt the fuck down and cease operations? Seriously, it's become the new "Stronger than the Storm" and "We Will Rebuild". We're going to be deluged with this crap the next 7 days so get ready. It's all going to be about how the city "came back" and is "stronger than ever" etc. etc. When did tragedies become tourism marketing campaigns and why would they make entire cities or states heroes for having lived through it when those people had nothing to do with surviving it?
Listen to me, people!
I work for a very large organization with people shifting to different roles/jobs often. The feeling is akin to being in a beehive. I'm isolated and disconnected in a sea of people. I see attractive men from time to time, and if there's any kind of "softness" to them, I wonder if they are gay, but you really can't be certain anymore. I feel the way I did on high school, that I was the only one like me. It makes me anxious and depressed. Are you the only gay person at your workplace? How do you deal?

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 thought I was hungry for pizza tonight so I ordered Dominos. Turns out I was hungry for the delivery boy instead. His name was Jonathan and I wish my eyeballs could take pics so that I could show you guys the tight little ass on him as he turned & walked away. Well worth the price of the pizza just to watch that hot little piece walk back to his car. I miss him terribly already & secretly hope he spit in my food. Has anyone ever successfully propositioned a delivery guy before? Is that a real thing?

He's constantly playing clips of his staff harrassing and embarrassing and humiliating small town radio shows, local cable TV shows and such. He sits there and cackles with laughter and snarks these shows. As a matter of fact, he seems to love snarking poorer and less successful people. Why pick on low hanging fruit, especially those in his own industry? I'm coming to realize there's a reason so many people dislike the man.
A powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck Mexico Friday morning, shaking buildings across a large swath of the country, but officials said there were no immediate reports of damage. The quake struck around 9:28 a.m. local time (10:28 a.m. ET), 39 kilometers east of Petatlan, Mexico, in the southwestern state of Guerrero, north of the resort city Acapulco, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was strong enough to shake central and southern Mexico, the Associated Press reported. Shaking was reported for at least 30 seconds in Mexico City, where buildings swayed and people ran out of high-rises, the AP said. There was no word of injuries. Luis Felipe Puente, Mexico's national coordinator of civil protection, tweeted Friday, "At the moment no reports of damages from quake." Mexican Secretary of the Interior Miguel Angel Osorio Chong also tweeted that there wasn't any damage, and that quake protocols were underway. The earthquake hit on Good Friday, a day of prayer when few people go to work because most businesses in Mexico are closed for the holiday. A hotel manager in Acapulco told NBC News he hadn't found any major structural damage after the shaking. There was a "major shift" felt at the Acapulco Princess and the Pierre Marques hotels, Thomas Becker said, but the 3,000 guests staying at the two properties were fine. A 7.4-magnitude quake hit the same area in 2012, killing two people and damaging or destroying 30,000 homes. In 1985, a magnitude-8.1 quake killed at least 6,000 people and destroyed buildings in Mexico City. That temblor was centered 250 miles away on the Pacific Coast, and prompted Mexico City to reinforce its buildings to withstand earthquakes.
BY SHAUN KITCHENER ON JULY 18, 2013 Zachary Quinto Splits From Glee's Jonathan Groff: 'They Remain Friends' Couple have reportedly gone their separate ways Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff have reportedly split up, but remain on good terms. The Star Trek actor is even thought to have seen Groff in a play recently, months after they parted ways unnoticed. According to Gossip Cop's source, rumours that the relationship ended explosively are false, and there is "nothing salacious" about the story. The couple confirmed they were an item last year, one year after Quinto announced that he is gay. Following the success of Star Trek Into Darkness earlier this year, Quinto will soon be diving into a threequel - and he reckons it could start shooting in 2014, despite JJ Abrams' involvement with Star Wars. "Star Trek 3 should be filming, I suppose, next year," he told Buzzhub. "It’s going to be made a lot quicker than the last one. That’s the plan, although nothing is confirmed yet." Groff, meanwhile, has previously appeared in 12 episodes of Glee in the recurring role of Jesse St James, and he's also been seen in The Good Wife and The Conspirator.

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

This guy chats me up out of the blue this morning on Scruff: "Hi". I look at his profile and he's okay, nothing special. I write back: "Hi". I mean, he said hi first, right? And I'm not that interested, but I'm also not against people saying hi to me and I don't want to be rude, but the conversational ball is in his court, IMO. So he writes back: "Good Morning" I write back "Good morning to you" He writes back "thanks". "Thanks"? What am I supposed to do with that? Is this how people flirt now? I've had more memorable conversations with toll booth operators.

Werk those 15 minutes, gurl! The Mrs Norman Maine act is getting old. "Lea Michele stormed off the set of Glee on Tuesday, according to reports. A source says that the actress was angered after her co-star Naya Rivera complained to producers that she was acting like a diva on set. The 27-year-old is said to have been stalling production as she continuously took breaks to deal with 'personal matters'. An insider told TMZ that the cast and crew became annoyed with the star after she interrupted filming multiple times. Finally, it became so bad that a fellow Glee star is said to have intervened. Naya, 27, complained to producers regarding Lea's difficult behaviour, the source claims, with disastrous results."

Dove should be ashamed to use Audrey Hepburn's face, singing Moon River, to sell it horrible candy bar. I get so upset when I see that commercial. I will never buy another Dove product. They have tried to cheapen an icon and a masterpiece of a song. And the fact that the icon is dead makes it all the worst. And whomever owns the rights to Hepburn's image should have it taken away from them. You can't grab class from the past. And to insult her image, that song, and the very essence of grace and beauty for something so irrelevant is a disgrace. It is like seeing your mother drunk and acting slutty.

A week ago, IFC ran a few of the "Friday the 13th" movie series. I didn't catch it from the beginning. But it brought back memories that, when growing up in the 1980s, this was our movie entertainment. Has anyone viewed the "Friday the 13th" movies, in the last five years, and had a very different reaction of it as an adult?
Illinois police performed a premises search, seizing computers and cell phone this week – all in a manhunt for the owner of a parody twitter account of Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis that held just 50 followers. As Preoria’s Journal Star reports: The account — known as @Peoriamayor on the popular social media service that limits entries to 140 characters — already had been suspended for several weeks when up to seven plainclothes police officers executed a search warrant about 5:20 p.m. at 1220 N. University St. Three people at the home were taken to the Peoria Police Department for questioning. Two other residents were picked up at their places of employment and taken to the station, as well. 36-year-old Jacob L. Elliott was booked into the Peoria County Jail on charges of possessing 30 to 500 grams of marijuana and possessing drug paraphernalia, but no arrests were made in connection with the Twitter account. “They just asked me about the Twitter account, if I knew anything about it,” said Elliot’s girlfriend Michelle Pratt, 27, who was in the shower when officers arrived at the door. “They brought me in like I was a criminal.” Pratt spent more than three hours alone in an interview room before being questioned by detectives. “They said they had a search warrant and took all the electronic devices that had Internet access,” Pratt said. “They said there had been an Internet crime that occurred at this residence.” Peoria Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard said officers were investigating the creator of the Twitter account for false personation of a public official. It’s hard to believe but true that the offense is punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and up to a year in jail. The @Peoriamayor account has only been around since late February or early March, had just 50 followers and had issued around the same number of tweets. The account bore a photo of Ardis and a bio that stated he enjoyed serving the city and included his city email address. The content of tweets, or entries on the account, mocked the Mayor over sex and drugs — comparing Ardis to Toronto Mayor Rob Ford (Ford’s drug use while in office became public). By March 10, the bio of the Twitter account was changed to indicate it was a parody account. The account was even suspended by twitter by the end of March so there was no risk of further tweets. But this didn’t stop local police launching anti-terror style raids on homes and workplaces, seizing personal property, for the sake of the Mayor’s fragile ego. Settingsgaard is still arguing the intent of the account was not clearly satirical. “I don’t agree it was obvious, and in fact it appears that someone went to great lengths to make it appear it was actually from the mayor,” Settingsgaard said in an email response to questions. Pratt finds this argument unfathomable. “A parody means it’s fake. It was even listed as fake,” she said. “It was a joke Twitter account, and they searched the whole house.” While one might understand the case for police involvement in cases where twitter users make specific threats of death or injury against organizations or individuals – there is no place for police involvement in the parody of those in power. There’s a name for a country that does not permit its citizenry to engage in free discussion, debate, and yes, mockery of those in power: Police state. Ardis may also have opened himself up to the Streisand Effect with his overkill reaction. I, and likely you, had no idea who he was until this story – and now I know he’s a jerk. The arrest has also prompted the creation of a new parody account, @NotPeoriaMayor, which bears a picture of Ardis wearing a Hitler-style mustache and a bio that reads: “Mayor Ardis and police chief Settingsgaard can suck it” It also openly identifies itself as a parody, and already has more followers than the previous account.

It is not without intention that this year's May 5 Metropolitan Museum Gala and Costume Exhibit theme "Charles James: Beyond Fashion (1906-1978)" is diametrically opposed to last year's raucous and rakish "Punk." Considered one of the few true American couturiers, James perfected the art of the ballgown. Simply put: That's the way Conde Nast artistic director Anna Wintour wants it. For the official opening of the newly renovated and renamed Anna Wintour Costume Center (to which Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch donated a cool $10 million), a source tells THR, "Anna wants more exclusivity and high fashion" -- though one-half of April's cover, Kim Kardashian, is still on the invitation list -- and raised ticket prices from $15,000 to $25,000 per person. Vogue sent out an "informative email," says a source, "for gentlemen to be dressed in white tie. That means black tails and top hats -- you might as well ask them to wear monocles and canes!" Menswear designers, flummoxed, went back to the drawing board; few even do white tie. Expect a male contingent, including Gala co-chair Bradley Cooper, to be vaguely reminiscent of the Edwardians. There's no mandate for women, but the Jamesian-style ball gowns are expected to stun -- and make group photos, as well as walking the Met's stairs, challenging. THR hears attendance was booked fast and early: Prada will be represented by brand face Lupita Nyong'o and Michelle Dockery; Prabal Gurung by Zoe Saldana; Givenchy by Amanda Seyfried; J. Mendel by Taylor Swift; Diane von Furstenberg by Margot Robbie and Olivia Munn; Tommy Hilfiger by Zooey Deschanel; with Jessica Chastain, Emilia Clarke, Naomi Watts, Jessica Pare and Allison Williams also attending. Lanvin's Alber Elbaz will be there with a mystery celeb, but not usual house model Emma Stone. According to sources, with less prominent designers, some stars are being paid to attend, flown in first-class, put up in hotel suites … and, of course, there's that steep ticket price.

I've started dating a guy who's a bit more sexually adventurous than I am, and he's brought up trying some new things in bed (light bondage, toys, etc.) and maybe some other things down the line (e.g. roleplay). My sex life has been pretty vanilla up to this point, but I figure "sure, why not?" so long as we're safe and trust each other, though I admit to being a bit nervous. But I was wondering what other DL'ers experiences were - have you ever engaged in "kinky" (however you define it) sex, and if so, what's the kinkiest thing you've done? Did you enjoy the experience? Do you still do it with your partner / dates / hookups?

It's no joke -- comedian Dave Chappelle has been hitting the gym hard. Earlier this week, the funnyman was spotted in Los Angeles and showing off his guns. Most people think of the "Chappelle Show" star as a lanky jokester, but not anymore. After leaving his critically acclaimed show in 2005, Chappelle, 40, stayed out of the spotlight. Last year, he co-headlined the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival, sponsored by Funny or Die, and is coming to NYC this summer to perform at Radio City Music Hall. Also last year, Prince used Chappelle's impersonation from his show on the cover of his new album, "Breakfast Can Wait."

Peaches Geldof was found dead Monday afternoon. Peaches Geldof, the daughter of musician Bob Geldof, has died. She was 25. Authorities were called to a Kent residence Monday afternoon, according to BBC News, after at least one report of "concern for the welfare of a woman." The woman was later pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance services, the news site confirmed. Geldof, who had a blossoming career in media, had been a contributor to the Telegraph and Guardian newspapers since she was 15, and had been a reporter for ITV's show "OMG!” The cause of her death has not yet been revealed, but police are classifying it as “unexplained and sudden.” Geldof had been known to struggle with substance abuse in the past. Her mother, Paula Yates, died of a drug overdose in 2000. Geldof leaves behind a husband and 2 sons. 'Me and my mum' Peaches Geldof and mother Paula Yates in a recent Instagram post.

She prefers to take her girlfriends for trysts to Europe, during breaks from touring, because she thinks she would be safer.

I've never seen Brokeback Mountain (because I'm a puss about not wanting to cry over it). I despise "GLEE", absolutely loath it. Meryl Streep makes me sick to my stomach and I think she's possibly the most fake celebrity on the planet, even more so than Tom (Tammy) Cruise. I have three Lady GaGa songs on my iPhone but I find her tiresome, fake and overall stupid. I don't donate to HRC and avoid drag queens at all costs. There's nothing trendy or 'cool' about me and if I could wear flannel shirts and a pair of Nikes to the office every day, I would. I don't go to the gym on a daily basis, sometimes not even on a weekly basis. I've never watched Logo, not once and I've never been to the NY Pride Parade (I always seem to be out of town for work or some such bullshit, but I don't miss it.) Believe it or not, I'm a happy, charming guy, but I seem to dislike so much that's generally loved or liked in the gay community. Am I clueless, out of touch or just somewhat independent?

The news: A new scientific study from Princeton researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page has finally put some science behind the recently popular argument that the United States isn't a democracy any more. And they've found that in fact, America is basically an oligarchy. An oligarchy is a system where power is effectively wielded by a small number of individuals defined by their status called oligarchs. Members of the oligarchy are the rich, the well connected and the politically powerful, as well as particularly well placed individuals in institutions like banking and finance or the military. For their study, Gilens and Page compiled data from roughly 1,800 different policy initiatives in the years between 1981 and 2002. They then compared those policy changes with the expressed opinion of the United State public. Comparing the preferences of the average American at the 50th percentile of income to what those Americans at the 90th percentile preferred, as well as the opinions of major lobbying or business groups, the researchers found out that the government followed the directives set forth by the latter two much more often. It's beyond alarming. As Gilens and Page write, "the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy." In other words, their statistics say your opinion literally does not matter. That might explain why mandatory background checks on gun sales supported by 83% to 91% of Americans aren't in place, or why Congress has taken no action on greenhouse gas emissions even when such legislation is supported by the vast majority of citizens. This problem has been steadily escalating for four decades. While there are some limitations to their data set, economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez constructed income statistics based on IRS data that go back to 1913. They found that the gap between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us is much bigger than you would think...

This problem has been steadily escalating for four decades. While there are some limitations to their data set, economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez constructed income statistics based on IRS data that go back to 1913. They found that the gap between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us is much bigger than you would think, as mapped by these graphs from the Center On Budget and Policy Priorities: Piketty and Saez also calculated that as of September 2013 the top 1% of earners had captured 95% of all income gains since the Great Recession ended. The other 99% saw a net 12% drop to their income. So not only is oligarchy making the rich richer, it's driving policy that's made everyone else poorer. What kind of oligarchy? As Gawker's Hamilton Nolan explains, Gilens and Page's findings provide support for two theories of governance: economic elite domination and biased pluralism. The first is pretty straightforward and states that the ultra-wealthy wield all the power in a given system, though some argue that this system still allows elites in corporations and the government to become powerful as well. Here, power does not necessarily derive from wealth, but those in power almost invariably come from the upper class. Biased pluralism on the other hand argues that the entire system is a mess and interest groups ruled by elites are fighting for dominance of the political process. Also, because of their vast wealth of resources, interest groups of large business tend to dominate a lot of the discourse. America, the findings indicate, tends towards either of these much more than anything close to what we call "democracy." In either case, the result is the same: Big corporations, the ultra-wealthy and special interests with a lot of money and power essentially make all of the decisions. Citizens wield little to no political power. America, the findings indicate, tends towards either of these much more than anything close to what we call "democracy" — systems such as majoritarian electoral democracy or majoritarian pluralism, under which the policy choices pursued by the government would reflect the opinions of the governed. Nothing new: And no, this isn't a problem that's the result of any recent Supreme Court cases — at least certainly not the likes FEC v. Citizens United or FEC v. McCutcheon. The data is pretty clear that America has been sliding steadily into oligarchy for decades, mirrored in both the substantive effect on policy and in the distribution of wealth throughout the U.S. But cases like those might indicate the process is accelerating. "Perhaps economic elites and interest group leaders enjoy greater policy expertise than the average citizen does," Gilens and Page write. "Perhaps they know better which policies will benefit everyone, and perhaps they seek the common good, rather than selfish ends, when deciding which policies to support. "But we tend to doubt it."

They all acted sterotypically Jewish, especially the Ruth Gordon character and the Judas-like Dr. Saperstein. I also recall dialogue where Rosemary is mildly scorned for her schoolgirl Catholicism. The book was written by a Jewish man though (Ira Levin), so that makes me question if the theme was anti-semitic.

Michaels Stores Inc. said Thursday that about 2.6 million cards, or about 7 percent of all debit and credit cards used at its namesake stores, may have been affected in a security breach. The nation's largest arts and crafts chain said its subsidiary Aaron Brothers was also attacked, with about 400,000 cards potentially affected. Irving, Texas-based Michaels said that it has contained the incident, which began last year. It has received "limited" reports of fraud from banks and the payment card brands that are potentially connected to the breach. The compromised data includes customer information such as payment card numbers and expiration dates. But there's no evidence that other personal information such as names, addresses or PIN numbers were at risk, Michaels said. Michaels' report comes as many shoppers worry about the safety of their personal data following a massive pre-Christmas security breach at Target Corp. that affected 40 million debit and credit cards. The details come nearly three months after Michaels disclosed that it may have been a victim of a data breach and that it was working with law enforcement authorities, banks and payment processors. The company said Thursday that both chains were attacked by criminals using highly sophisticated malware that had not been encountered previously by the two security firms that were conducting the investigation. "Our customers are always number one priority and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience or concern Michaels may have caused," said Chuck Rubin, CEO of Michaels, in a statement. The breach at Michaels stores occurred between May 8, 2013 and Jan. 27. The company confirmed that between June 26, 2013 and Feb. 27, 54 Aaron Brothers stores were affected by this malware. Michaels said that it was offering free identity protection, credit monitoring and fraud assistance services to affected Michaels and Aaron Brothers customers in the U.S. for 12 months.
Vicki Lawrence is still around and still in high demand as a touring act. She could easily be brought back as Thelma. They could cast a new crop of actors to play the others: I'm thinking: Amy Poehler as Naomi Will Arnett as Vint Tina Fey as Iola Ellen Page as Eunice Matthew McConaughey as Ed Jenny McCarthy as Ellen Brenda Vaccaro as Aunt Effie and Ryan Phillppe as Bubba Carol and Betty White could make cameos in the movie, maybe as senior citizen friends of Thelma's.
I'm sleep-deprived and terribly, terribly bored. My attention span is gone, as is my tolerance for other people. I want to go home, but my boss squawks when I mention wanting to leave early. She's such a useless cunt.

The most recent forecast by Fivethirtyeight gives Republicans a sixty percent chance of winning a majority of the Senate in November’s elections. Given that any bill already has to pass the Republican-controlled House, the effect of a Republican Senate upon President Obama’s legislative agenda can be calculated at zero, with a margin of error of zero. You can’t kill something that is already dead. On the other hand, what is currently alive, albeit barely, is a fragile peace that has enabled the functioning of the traditional separation-of-powers relationship between the branches of government. The survival of that peace depends entirely on a Democratic Senate. Almost nobody seems to be thinking about the potential chaos that could lie ahead. The Constitutional crises of 2013 were numerous enough to blur together. The most easily resolved took place when Senate Republicans began wholesale barricading of various judicial and executive branch appointments by the Obama administration. Previously, the Senate tended to block candidates in rare and particular circumstances — say, if they were unusually radical or unqualified, or sometimes in response to a particularly bitter fight over a previous candidate. Last year, Senate Republicans declared they simply would not allow any Obama nominees for various positions in the executive branch whose functioning (like enforcing labor law or regulating Wall Street) they did not care for. They likewise announced that they would not permit any new judges to the powerful D.C. Circuit because the court was balanced between the two parties and Republicans wanted to keep it that way. This escalation amounted to a major revision of the balance of powers — if it held, a hostile Senate could paralyze any agency it desired, or prevent a president from appointing anybody to the federal bench. Senate Democrats resolved the standoff by changing the Senate’s rules to ban filibusters for executive branch nominees and federal judges. This was the “nuclear option” — a dreaded unilateral alteration of the chamber’s rules. Republicans and respectable centrist observers alike predicted the nuclear option would unleash terrible and indescribable consequences. The nuclear option turned out to defuse the conflict. Obama has gone ahead filling administrative and judicial appointments, none of them especially offensive to the Republican minority, and the crisis dissipated, as if into thin air. But the solution turned out to hinge on particular, and likely temporary, circumstances. The first, of course, is a Democratic Senate majority. The nuclear option stops a Senate minority from wantonly blockading vacant posts, but it does not stop a Senate majority from doing so. A prospective majority Leader Mitch McConnell may use his power to reimpose or even expand the blockade of 2013. Just what level of havoc this would wreak is hard to figure; Obama has filled his major executive branch vacancies and steadily appointed judges to vacant posts. Perhaps the administration could muddle through a final two years of total paralysis. Perhaps not. The potential for true crisis lies in the smaller possibility of a Supreme Court vacancy. The Democrats’ nuclear option allowed them to fill a regular judicial seat with a straight majority vote, but did not allow them to fill Supreme Court seats this way. Imagine 75-year-old Stephen Breyer, or 81-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg, decides to retire. Perhaps they suffer a health setback, or simply grow tired of the grinding conflict, or perhaps warm to the logic of stepping down when an ideologically friendly jurist is likely to replace them. Would the Republican majority let Obama appoint a mainstream center-left nominee to the seat? The last vacancy occurred in 2010, before Republicans swept into control of the House. Even though Obama’s nominee, Elena Kagan, possessed sterling bipartisan support, a mere five Republican senators voted for her confirmation. Three of them — Richard Lugar, Olympia Snowe, and Judd Gregg — have departed, and the GOP caucus emerged from the 2010 Tea Party wave filled with terror at any vote that could even hint at ideological treachery. Now imagine a different possibility. Suppose one of the five Republican-appointed seats opened up. None of them would voluntarily surrender a seat at the end of a Democratic president’s tenure, of course. But when the hypothetical gavel transfer to Mitch McConnell takes place next January, Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy will both be 78 years old. The actuarial odds of a 78-year-old man dying within a given year are approximately 5 percent — we will have two of them, with two years of Obama’s term each. (The odds of death rise to 5.6 percent at age 79, for those morbidly inclined.) We are not talking about a freak occurrence. What would happen then? Would a Republican Senate let Barack Obama — fundamental transformer of America, shredder of the Constitution — appoint a new swing justice? Given a backdrop in which conservatives, having grown deeply pessimistic about their political future, have invested deeply in a legal movement that uses aggressive readings to roll back the state? With every conservative interest group mobilizing for battle, with a vast array of social and economic policy hanging in the balance? It may seem implausible that Republicans would simply refuse to allow Obama to appoint any justice to such a vacancy. That is only because things that haven’t happened before are hard to imagine. But such a confrontation is not only a logical outcome but the most logical outcome. Voting to flip the Supreme Court would be, if not a political death warrant for a Republican Senator, then certainly taking one’s political life into one’s own hands. Politicians do not like political death warrants — certainly not for the benefit of the opposing party’s agenda. The modern pattern in American politics is that tactics that are legally available, but never used for reasons of custom, eventually become used. The modern pattern is also that the Republican Party, which is the most ideologically cohesive and disciplined party, leads the way. McConnell did not create this pattern, but he is an important innovator. McConnell was among the first political leaders to grasp that Republicans had everything to gain and nothing to lose from withholding support for every major element of Obama’s agenda — that the old Beltway folklore, which warned the opposition party that voters would punish them if they appeared obstructionist, had no basis in reality. Most people pay no attention to the details of policy, and form rough judgments on the basis of how much noise and controversy rises out of Washington. “It was absolutely critical that everybody be together because if the proponents of the bill were able to say it was bipartisan, it tended to convey to the public that this is O.K., they must have figured it out,” he confessed. Political scientists understood this reality perfectly well, but it was utterly strange to the old-line purveyors of Washington conventional wisdom. McConnell moneyballed the Senate. It stands to reason that if and when new powers are laid at his disposal, McConnell will once again deploy them creatively. A potential Supreme Court crisis, in which the Senate simply refuses to let the president fill a vacancy on any remotely normal terms, is one possibility. Others may be brewing at this moment deep within McConnell’s extensive imagination.

I am. If I could just stay home and more or less just lay on the couch all day, I would. It's not depression. I just don't want to be bothered with too much. I go through the motions until I just can't stand it anymore, but it's exhausting and I'll inevitably have to call in "sick" to work for a day or two. And it's never enough. I hate working, and "doing stuff." Am I the only one?
Neve Campbell is currently voicing her support against the XL Pipeline. She said in a written statement that while she has always been proud to call Canada her home, "now as a Canadian I feel deeply ashamed to see that our government has allowed the selfish profiteering of powerful oil companies, and blatantly ignored the health, well-being, and lives of our country's First Nations, as well as of the well-being of our world’s climate." Candice Bergen, a pro-pipeline supporter, has fired back. Saying "These multimillion-dollar 'champagne socialists' hypocritically enjoy the products Canadian workers proudly develop — from plastics to electricity — all products generated by the oil-sands" "Ms. Campbell and his millionaire Hollywood friends should take a good look around them and realize how dependent their lives actually are on Canada's oil-sands and our natural resource industry."

Johnny Weir wrote a 5-page post-nup which is part of his newfangled reconciliation package with Victor Voronov -- and Johnny makes it clear mutual masturbation will NOT be tolerated. TMZ broke the story ... Johnny and Victor agreed over the weekend to call off their divorce, but Victor wanted Johnny to sign a document apologizing for trashing Victor in the media and promising to keep Johnny's mom out of their relationship. So Johnny fired back with a document of his own, which, among other things, defines the type of cheating that will not be tolerated. The document -- obtained by TMZ -- lists the following: -- sex outside the marriage -- oral sex outside the marriage -- kissing or making out -- sexting -- aggressive flirting -- mutual masturbation -- social media/grindr/dating And it gets better. According to the document, if either one has a situation where they're "in close range or contact with someone from our past or someone to be part of the future" ... the other can veto the contact. Johnny specifically gives an example of a figure skater he dated. The document also requires joint STD tests every 6 months with the results being read with both in the room. And there's a section about splitting assets if they ultimately get divorced: "Should a gift be given, i.e., the Cartier Roadster (R.I.P.), the gift belongs to you." Someone broke the watch! And finally ... there's a section titled "Ultimatums." Johnny lists examples of Victor's ultimatums, including, "If I give you one more day to get your bank records to me, then I want to have a free fuck of anyone I want." Simply fabulous.
Johnny Weir's humiliating reconciliation contract for ex: no mutual masturbation from now on!

I am re-posting here because my original thread was improperly worded and cut off (not sure why). Last night, I was walking down the street and a street thug was harassing a guy just off Halsted Street in Chicago. He was getting in his face, slapping him around and bullying him. This kind of thing has been happening in an increasing manner in the neighborhood. Long story short, I got sick of seeing this fellow gay man being bullied and slapped. I took a hot cup of coffee I had just purchased and threw it in the thug's face. Me and the other guy then ran (he went one way and I went the other). The thug was screaming in the background. I wanted to share this story with someone and thought the DL could be a place to do it. Sorry that my original post was worded badly (it should be removed). The thrust of my story however is what it is.
You know what that means. Her mom is running for President in 2016. You just know this pregnancy was timed so that she can be on the campaign trail with her baby and her mom.
You might not recognize his name, he is the guy who came up with the ""Father Daughter Purity Ball" in Colorado. They've been in the media quite a bit, I'm linking to one trailer. Anyway the father and his wife are somewhat "mismatched" on first glance. And he is away for months at a time working. Apparently. I don't know, I'm a bit suspicious.

Liberals and Gay male blogos who get rich by drawing sperm on women’s mouths are trashing Rashida Jones, star of Parks and Recreation, for basically saying that the state of porno today is pretty gross and for tweeting about how celebrities are gross when they flash thier vaginas in our faces. Guess Rashida doesn’t know yet that unless you are a woman spouting “I fuck therefore I am” you are the enemy amongst gays and liberals. Frankly, gays and libs really aren’t in any position to be the sexual morality police. Because it doesn’t matter how many health epidemics or pandemics, gay men will not curb their behavior: Gay men LA area die meningitis infections What more do you need to demonstrate that extreme promiscuity is not good for you when you’re dying from it? Wasn’t there just a meningitis problem killing gay men like 6 months ago? And last year it was a syphilis outbreak, and HIV numbers are up again for gay men. Liberals, gay men and fun-feminists are very much at the forefront of bashing women whenever they say boo about porno or anything that suggests ya may wanna curb your driven extremist sexual decadence.

Could it be that he was fucking Gwyneth under the delusion that she would dump Chris Martin for him, and then receive a swift reality check otherwise? Do we think Gwyneth is devastated? "A conscious uncoupling over a 'conscious uncoupling.' Gwyneth Paltrow, who announced her separation from Chris Martin via the lifestyle website/newsletter last month, is facing another big split. This time, it's from her GOOP CEO Seb Bishop, a source confirms to Us Weekly. "A week and a half ago, he abruptly resigned from GOOP," the insider tells Us. "It's really suspicious -- I think something weird is going on with GOOP." Page Six reported Wednesday, April 16, that Bishop, a British entrepreneur who joined GOOP back in 2011, quit over the "conscious uncoupling" split announcement famously posted to Paltrow's lifestyle website last month. A source told the paper that Bishop, 40, and Paltrow "disagreed on the direction of Goop, partly that she used the Web site as vehicle for her personal life, and the 'conscious uncoupling' announcement." Paltrow, 41, is moving the Goop offices from London -- where the family lived for 10 years before recently moving -- to Los Angeles, near her Brentwood home. (Last weekend, she threw a big birthday bash for her 8-year-old son Moses at the West Coast abode.) Her rep told Page Six Bishop's departure was unrelated to a disagreement, claiming he "decided not to relocate his family to Los Angeles."

Do you think he's hoping to find a wealthier, less controversial suitor? The partner of the Guardian journalist who has written a series of stories revealing mass surveillance programmes by the US National Security Agency was held for almost nine hours on Sunday by UK authorities as he passed through London's Heathrow airport on his way home to Rio de Janeiro. David Miranda, who lives with Glenn Greenwald, was returning from a trip to Berlin when he was stopped by officers at 8.05am and informed that he was to be questioned under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The controversial law, which applies only at airports, ports and border areas, allows officers to stop, search, question and detain individuals. The 28-year-old was held for nine hours, the maximum the law allows before officers must release or formally arrest the individual. According to official figures, most examinations under schedule 7 – over 97% – last less than an hour, and only one in 2,000 people detained are kept for more than six hours. Miranda was released, but officials confiscated electronics equipment including his mobile phone, laptop, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and games consoles. Since 5 June, Greenwald has written a series of stories revealing the NSA's electronic surveillance programmes, detailed in thousands of files passed to him by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The Guardian has also published a number of stories about blanket electronic surveillance by Britain's GCHQ, also based on documents from Snowden. While in Berlin, Miranda had visited Laura Poitras, the US film-maker who has also been working on the Snowden files with Greenwald and the Guardian. The Guardian paid for Miranda's flights. "This is a profound attack on press freedoms and the news gathering process," Greenwald said. "To detain my partner for a full nine hours while denying him a lawyer, and then seize large amounts of his possessions, is clearly intended to send a message of intimidation to those of us who have been reporting on the NSA and GCHQ. The actions of the UK pose a serious threat to journalists everywhere. "But the last thing it will do is intimidate or deter us in any way from doing our job as journalists. Quite the contrary: it will only embolden us more to continue to report aggressively." A spokesperson for the Guardian said: "We were dismayed that the partner of a Guardian journalist who has been writing about the security services was detained for nearly nine hours while passing through Heathrow airport. We are urgently seeking clarification from the British authorities." A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said: "At 08:05 on Sunday, 18 August a 28-year-old man was detained at Heathrow airport under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000. He was not arrested. He was subsequently released at 17:00." Scotland Yard refused to be drawn on why Miranda was stopped using powers that enable police officers to stop and question travellers at UK ports and airports. There was no comment from the Home Office in relation to the detention. However, there was surprise in political circles and elsewhere. Labour MP Tom Watson said he was shocked at the news and called for it to be made clear if any ministers were involved in authorising the detention. He said: "It's almost impossible, even without full knowledge of the case, to conclude that Glenn Greenwald's partner was a terrorist suspect. "I think that we need to know if any ministers knew about this decision, and exactly who authorised it." "The clause in this act is not meant to be used as a catch-all that can be used in this way."

Please talk about them here!
Since we have threads for other shows and I didn't see one for H5O... Not sure how the show is holding up on its change to Friday nights but I think even if it's numbers are down, CBS isn't about to cancel it. Tim Daly guest starred in the latest episode and looked fine. Speaking of looking good, it appeared that Scotty Caan was commando under his gray shorts for the opening and closing sequences. Steve and Wo Fat aren't half-brothers despite fans' beliefs. Unless Steve's DNA test was changed or falsified.
The Karen Walker thread reminded me of how many great lines the writers crafted for her. The writing was excellent in general and had hilarious bitchy one-liners; and some episodes are certainly classics (like the spelling bee at the gay bar, or the final episode where Beverly Lesley dies by being blown off the balcony).\ \ But the Will character was so dislikeable and unpleasant. And though I like Sean Hayes, the Jack character, which could sometimes be very funny, was such a collection of nasty stereotypes about gay men.
So I've gone back and am starting to watch the entire series. A few questions-comments: Did Hyacinth ever actually give a candlelight supper on camera during the show's run? Are we really suppose to believe that Emmet isn't gay? What straight man goes and lives with his sister after his divorce? He also had a really bad case of gay voice too! He was a musician, who sang and played piano. Gurrrl please! Hyacinth, while embarrassed by her family, never actually cut them off. She spoke to them on the phone regularly, and would even mention them to others. She just didn't want people to see them. That's pretty odd. Richard was a pretty hot daddy. Why didn't Elizabeth end up with him? They obviously wanted each other, at least Elizabeth did. What was up with the Vicar's wife's accent? Was she suppose to be Irish? The vicar was the hottest piece of ass in the show. The actor, Jeremy Gittins, appeared nude in "Tales of the Unexpected". Great ass! He was in bed with another man. Why wasn't Patricia Routledge made a Dame? It's pretty unbelievable, especially after her most infamous character favored the Royals. Give her the title! I wished that they would have ended the series with the Buckets moving. As they're driving away down the street, the neighbors come out and cheer and applaud. Hyacinth then sticks how her arm and gives them the finger, revealing that she was aware of what they all actually thought of her all along. The best scene was the one where the woman who Hyacinth was trying to direct into a parking spot, began to try driving her down! It's amazing that they never brought back the series for at least a special after 1995. From Wikipedia: In the March 2011 PBS pledge drive programming special Behind the Britcoms: from Script to Screen hosted by Moira Brooker and Philip Bretherton of As Time Goes By, the Keeping Up Appearances creators/writers/producers stated that they believed the series had many more years in it, that they had many more stories to tell, and that "it still had legs".

I went and it looks like it's no longer there, or did the domain just expire? Anyone know what's going on?

I'm visiting my elderly parents on the other side of the country this Easter weekend for a few days. Normally, I would post this info on facebook (which includes only family and REAL friends, not strangers). On these trips to see my parents I would normally post updates, photos, observations, etc. But I don't think I'm going to do that this time. Previously, when I travel, I always get questions about where I'm going, why, how long I'm staying, do I have time to meet so and so for lunch, etc. I feel like I have to answer a bunch of questions and justify the reasons for my trip. This time I don't even want anyone aside from my siblings and parents to even know I'm in town. And even in general terms I'm sick of sharing everything on social media. Nothing is private anymore. Everything is everyone else's business. I feel like I need to regain control of my personal life. Start closing some doors. Is that unreasonable?

She further claimed that the director requested that she touch herself before focusing his camera between her legs, and also that the unnamed perpetrator allegedly circulated the video at parties"

Well, I contacted a local seller with a question, and she sent a really snarky reply, which was way out of line for a person with such low feedback, and a negative. So I bid high on a few of her auctions, won them and just informed her that I have no intention of paying. To add insult to injury, I've left some horrible negative feedback, and 1 stars in her rating. Some days it feels good to be an asshole.

I'm a gay man but still madly in love with her. She won the oscar for "Darling" in 1966 and was Hollywood's "it" girl around that time and represented the swinging 60s when England could do no wrong with their actors and musicians. She was (and still is) a brilliant actress who is as beautiful and poised as she is talented. But she seemed to lose interest in acting as much when she became involved with Warren Beatty in 1967. She could have given Maggie, Helen and Judi a run for their money. What are your thoughts on her datalounge?
Nasa Kepler telescope discovers planet believed to be most Earth-like yet found Kepler-186f is 10% bigger and occupies its star's 'habitable zone' where temperatures would allow liquid surface water Press Association; theguardian.com, Thursday 17 April 2014 14.57 EDT A newly discovered planet may be the most Earth-like yet found in another solar system, scientists believe. Kepler-186f is almost the same size as the Earth and occupies its star's "habitable zone" where temperatures are mild enough to allow liquid surface water. If the planet has lakes or oceans, it would increase the chances of life evolving there. But anything living on the world may have to withstand extra large doses of radiation from its active sun, Kepler-186. The find is described in the journal Science as "a landmark on the road to discovering habitable planets". Smaller and cooler than our sun, Kepler-186 is classified as an M-dwarf star, is 795 light years away and is orbited by five known planets. Kepler-186f, the latest to be discovered, is the outermost plant in the system. The planet was found by astronomers scouring the Milky Way galaxy for potentially habitable worlds Using Nasa's Kepler space telescope, they measured the very tiny dimming that occurs when a planet crosses or "transits" in front of its star. The transit information allowed them to calculate the planet's size and estimate its mass and density. Kepler-186f was found to be just 10% bigger than the Earth. While habitable zone planets have been identified around other stars, none of them so closely match the Earth in size. US astronomer Dr Stephen Kane, a member of the Kepler team, said: "Some people call these habitable planets, which of course we have no idea if they are. We simply know that they are in the habitable zone, and that is the best place to start looking for habitable planets. "What we've learned, just over the past few years, is that there is a definite transition which occurs around about 1.5 Earth radii. What happens there is that for radii between 1.5 and two Earth radii, the planet becomes massive enough that it starts to accumulate a very thick hydrogen and helium atmosphere, so it starts to resemble the gas giants of our solar system rather than anything else that we see as terrestrial." The habitable zone has also been called the "Goldilocks" zone, because conditions there are just right to permit liquid surface water and, possibly, life. Of our two closest neighbours in the solar system, Mars is just too cold and its water is locked up as ice, while Venus orbits closer to the sun than the Earth and is too hot. Kepler-186f seems to orbit the outer edge of its habitable zone. However, being slightly larger than the Earth means it is likely to have a thick insulating atmosphere that would stop its surface water freezing. Small stars such as Kepler-186 live a lot longer than larger stars, providing more time for biological evolution to take place. This makes them promising places to look for life, according to Kane. On the other hand, small stars tend to be more active than the sun and liable to produce more solar flares and potentially harmful radiation.

Anyone else prefer sleeping to being awake? I have the most vivid emotional dreams about a perfect life, perfect relationships, etc. They exist in "dream sets" meaning that i will be in the same house, town, etc for several dreams in a row. They are emotional in that I wake up and the thoughts and feelings carry over more as real memories than just a dream. Sometimes they contain conundrums, but for the most part they are fantastic. Feels to good to be true, so what the fuck is wrong with me? Any other experiences out there?

Egypt's gay community fears government crackdown Recent series of raids and long jail terms fan fears that gay people may be new target of authoritarian government Patrick Kingsley in Cairo; theguardian.com, Thursday 17 April 2014 11.09 BST Egypt's gay community fears it is the latest target of the country's authoritarian government following a series of recent raids on gay people. Activists interviewed by the Guardian said they had documented up to nine raids across the country since October 2013 – an unusually high rate of arrests. Most significantly, at least seven raids have seen people arrested at home rather than at parties or known meeting places, raising concerns that the community is facing the start of a targeted crackdown. The latest and most concerning raid saw four men seized from their east Cairo apartment on 1 April within hours of signing the lease, according to activists. Within a week, the four were given jail terms of up to eight years – sentences unusual for both their length and the speed at which they were handed down. Interviewees warned against exaggerating the oppression levelled at what is a flourishing underground gay community. But almost all agreed the recent arrests had frightened and perplexed many of its members. One experienced activist, who identified himself as Mohamed A, said: "It has struck fear within many of us. I could be sitting with a couple of friends [at home], and these arrests could happen at any moment." While homosexuality is technically legal in Egypt, citizens suspected of being gay have long been the target of sporadic detentions – with those arrested often convicted of debauchery or insulting public morals. But some activists claim the recent arrests, which began at a gay meeting-place in a poor Cairo suburb last October, are happening at a faster rate than at any point since 2004. No one is certain how systematic they are, or exactly why they are happening. Some think the raids are simply another example of the aggression aimed at all kinds of dissidents in recent months. Also, several of the raids may have been caused by complaints from neighbours, rather than instigated by the state itself. But regardless of the background to each raid, what is unusual is how regularly and how willingly the state has prosecuted individuals – especially at a time when there is so much else in Egypt for the authorities to address. Dalia Alfarghal, a human rights activist, said: "We have a lot of crazy things going on in the country – and they're detaining these guys instead of catching terrorists." Many wonder if the government wants to assure a largely homophobic Egyptian society that – despite ousting Islamist president Mohamed Morsi last summer – they can be as conservative as the man they replaced. April's arrests, for instance, came soon after a police chief announced a special taskforce to arrest atheists. "These kinds of cases help show they can be society's moral gatekeepers," said Mahmoud, an activist on gender issues. "I guess their point is that even though the Islamists are gone, we're still going to keep an eye on the behaviours that may, according to them, disrupt society." Another explanation is that widespread coverage of the raids would help distract the public from the government's failings – much as the media storm sparked by the 2001 arrest of 52 men at the Queen Boat, a gay nightclub in Cairo, did for Hosni Mubarak's regime. But if that is the strategy, several note that it has not been particularly successful so far – there is too much else going on in the mayhem of Egyptian politics. "I think there is a clear difference between [now and] the time of the Queen Boat," said Mahmoud. "At that time it was very easy to use a certain issue to camouflage others. But now, since the start of the revolution, people's attention span only lasts a day or two – and then another thing comes up." The gay community's response to the raids also differs from the aftermath of the Queen Boat arrests, according to Mahmoud. "At the time, it created a lot of panic. Everybody went to their homes, they wouldn't talk to anybody, they were afraid of each other – because who knew who might turn the other in? But now, although there is a lot of anxiety and fear, I don't feel it has the same impact." This is partly down to the community's support networks, which activists say are bigger today than they were 13 years ago, particularly since the 2011 revolution. But stronger though the community may be, its members still strive to keep it as invisible as it ever was, fearing a fiercer crackdown. Homosexuality as a concept, however, has become slightly more visible. This January film censors finally approved the screening of Family Secrets, billed as the first widely-shown Egyptian movie to feature a gay protagonist (though many were furious that the film ultimately suggests homosexuality is a curable disease). But more exposure to gay issues has not necessarily led to the spread of less-homophobic attitudes. People coming out to their parents often find themselves sent to psychiatrists for a "cure". One interviewee said they saw 16 in total. At Mohamed A's workplace, many people know he is gay, and he does not feel in danger as a result. But some female colleagues say they would prefer not to be left alone with him. "It's kind of funny. In their minds, being gay is perverted and I want to have sex with any object. But maybe it'll change with the building of trust between me and them." As in many countries, Egyptian homophobia has both religious and cultural roots. Regarding the former, Egypt's Christian and Muslim communities lack high-profile liberal voices to counter homophobic readings of both religions. As for the latter, Egypt's patriarchal society feels threatened by those who challenge traditional gender roles. "We live in a very masculine society," said Adam, a graphic designer who was attacked by his brothers and mother after coming out to them six years ago. "You have to follow certain lines – you have to study, graduate, then get married, and then have kids. And if you break the line, then there's something wrong." In this context, gay women in Egypt say they are less conspicuous than gay men. Women have not been the focus of any crackdown – perhaps because mainstream Egyptian society, according to one gay woman, has only recently begun to deal with concepts of lesbianism. "I think people didn't know what lesbians were 10 years ago – I didn't even know," said Pam, an ecologist. "It was never on TV. But now it's part of the dialogue. You do get people calling out in the street: ya lesbian!" Given this environment, some gay Egyptians question the usefulness of bringing western assumptions about gender and sexuality to a context as specific as Egypt, and query the application of western-rooted labels such as LGBTQI. "LGBTQI emerged in a certain context in a certain time in a certain group of people," said Pam. "There are so many other formulations of sexuality that fall outside of that and cannot be encompassed by it." Others warned against equating same-sex intercourse to a defined sexual identity. In lower-class areas, said Mohamed A, it is common to find young unmarried men who have sex with other men but who do not consider themselves gay, or even know the term. "They would think that the only right thing to do is to get married," he said, "and that being in a relationship with a man is only something temporary." But away from questions of definition, the main fight remains one for acceptance. Progress is slow in such a conservative society, but some see hope in the younger generation. "I feel there's more willingness to discuss this," said Mahmoud. "Maybe that's more about my age group, but I see more openness and acceptance of diversity."

A pregnant Florida woman delivered her baby in a motel bathtub, and that's the least bizarre thing about the circumstances of the child's entry into this mad, mad, mad, mad world. Chrystal Hassell, 37, had checked into an Ocala, Fla., motel room with her boyfriend and her 11-month-old child, and proceeded to smoke crack for an entire day. Although she was only 7 months pregnant, she started going into labor. Hassell's boyfriend, Vincent Terry, had left the motel to run an errand, so she delivered the baby herself in the motel bathtub, chewing through the umbilical cord with her teeth. Afterward, she called Terry and asked him to come back, but he was pulled over for speeding on the way. An officer might have been understanding under the circumstances, but Terry was wanted for attempted murder in Colorado, News 13 reported. Hassell waited an hour before calling 911, giving the baby breaths to keep it alive, investigators say. She's being charged with child neglect. The unfortunate baby was airlifted to a Gainesville hospital in critical condition, and the 11-month-old has been placed in foster care. Both parents are now in jail in Marion County.

"Jewish residents of one city in east Ukraine were issued a flier instructing them to identify themselves, Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday, signaling that Russia’s growing military presence in the region could spark a new wave of anti-Semitism in the former Soviet bloc. “Just in the last couple of days, notices were sent to Jews in one city, indicating that they had to identify themselves as Jews and obviously the accompanying threat implied, is or threatened or suffer the consequences, one way or the other,” Kerry said during a press conference in Geneva, following a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ukrainian and EU representatives."

Is this true? Do you think anybody you've met is an alien?
So now it's Shoegate. Clearly, the conservatives who have spent the Obama years suffering from paranoid psychosis - the "birthers" who insisted that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, the "skeet shooter truthers" who said Obama faked the photo that shows him firing at clay pigeons, the Gettysburg "truthers," the list goes on - are now primed to aim their wingnuttery at Hillary Clinton. Which makes perfect sense, since they first manifested their symptoms way back when she and Bill were national newbies. It's back to the future for the run up to 2016, and we who are sane might as well play it for laughs. Because when we're sniffing the stench of true lunacy - in this case, the allegation that Hillary conspired to have somebody throw a shoe at her - surely we can agree that humor is the best disinfectant. You probably know what happened. At a Las Vegas event last Thursday, some nutcase hurled an athletic sneaker that sailed past Hillary's head. The hurler has been charged with two federal crimes, and that should be the end of the story. But of course it isn't. Rush Limbaugh - bingo! - got an earful the other day from callers who insisted that Hillary set the whole thing up, that she staged it to gin up sympathy for herself. The callers had no such evidence, of course, but that didn't bug Rush. He trusts his fine mind more than he cares about evidence. He said: "In my subconscious, I think it was staged, or set up, or whatever...Maybe it's (her) attempt to make the Benghazi people look like nuts and lunatics and wackos." While Rush was busy communing with his subconscious, Herman Cain was keyboarding on Twitter. You may remember Cain; for a few months prior to the 2012 presidential primaries, he drove the Republican clown car. Even though he still probably knows nothing about the country he called "Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan," he says he knows a Hillary scam when he sees it. He tweeted: "Hmm...Fakery from the Clintons? That Hillary shoe-throwing thing does look kind of fake, huh?" Fortunately for Cain, he was saved from the burden of evidence because his 140 characters were up. Other truthers, who wrote articles at length, had no such excuse. On Bernard Goldberg's website (Goldberg is a Fox News commentator), contributing writer Arthur Louis intoned: "There is a political axiom...that when Hillary does something, or when something happens to her, she has carefully calculated it beforehand. This is almost always true....So it would not be stretching logic to suppose that Hillary arranged to have the show thrown at her...she may have calculated that this would make her seem presidential." He concluded: "I am just guessing, of course." I love that line. Naturally, some of the trolls on that blog guessed right along with him ("I would put nothing at all past the libs"), and Louis duly replied: "You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to suppose that Hillary would phony things up....There has to be more investigation." Yes, an investigation! The bat signal has been flashed, and I hope Darrell Issa sees it. But as I was tracking this stuff (truther-columnist Dan Calabrese: "Is it outlandish to suggest Hillary Clinton would pull a stunt that is totally fake if she thinks it would help her political fortunes?"), I couldn't help but experience deja vu. Where have I seen this kind of thing before... Ah yes. Shoegate is a replay of December 2012, when Hillary got sick during GOP Benghazi hearings - and the usual right-wing suspects insisted without a shred of evidence that she was faking illness. They joked that she was suffering from "Benghazi flu." It turned out - according to the doctors - that she had a concussion and a blood clot in a vein between her brain and skull. But to this day, the truthers and trolls haven't apologized. Nor will they this time - because, hey, you never know, maybe the shoe-hurler will produce a shoe-store receipt smeared with Hillary's prints. But who needs empirical proof when all you need is a tinfoil hat?

Being posh doesn’t seem to have done his career much harm so far. But Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has complained that his privileged background and elite schooling have left him typecast. The 35-year-old actor grew up in Kensington, West London, and was educated at Harrow – where fees are £30,930 a year – before studying drama at Manchester University. As a consequence, he claims he suffers from ‘class-typing’ in his career. Cumberbatch, who also starred in this year’s film version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, said: ‘I was brought up in a world of privilege. ‘It can ostracise you from normal codes of conduct in society. ‘Being a posh actor in England you cannot escape the class-typing from whatever side you look at it. ‘I realised from quite early on that, although I wasn’t trying to make a class specialty of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.’ He added that the fact that he went to one of the oldest schools in the world ‘does not make me an archetypal product of that school’. Cumberbatch told Radio Times: ‘We all want to escape our circumstances, don’t we? Especially if you are an actor. ‘It is an imaginative process that gets my juices going. ‘The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.’ The actor has won plaudits for his portrayal of a brilliant but emotionally dysfunctional Sherlock Holmes in the BBC1 series, which returns in January. Earlier this year he starred as Stephen Hawking in the award-winning BBC2 biopic about the acclaimed scientist, and as spook Peter Guillam in the updated film adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. He has also played ‘toff roles’ such as Scarlett Johansson’s unbearably pompous husband in The Other Boleyn Girl, and the arrogant Edmund Talbot in the BBC adaptation of William Golding’s epic To The Ends of the Earth. He will soon be back on the big screen as Major Jamie Stewart in Stephen Spielberg’s Hollywood version of the West End theatre hit War Horse, which is released in January. In the past Cumberbatch has said his parents – the actors Wanda Ventham and Timothy Carlton – sent him to Harrow in the hope that he might not follow in their professional footsteps.

In the suit, Egan claims the abuse started when he was 14 or 15 and moved to Los Angeles with his family to start his acting career. It was in LA that he was introduced to another Hollywood powerplayer, Marc Collins-Rector and his lover Chad Shackley, he claims. Egan was invited to one of Collins-Rector's 'notorious' parties held at his home, dubbed the M&C Estate in Encino, California. According to the suit, the parties were well-known in Hollywood and attended by investors in Collin-Rector's company who lured young boys as part of a 'sordid sex ring'. Collins-Rector eventually faced justice himself, admitting in court in 2004 that he lured five minors across state lines for sexual purposes. While these parties allegedly 'featured sexual contact between adult males and the many teenage boys', Egan maintains he 'never freely' consented to the advances. It was two or three months after Collins-Rector began allegedly abusing Egan that he was introduced to Singer at one of the parties. Egan was in the pool when Collins-Rector approached him and ordered him out to hug Singer. Egan was nude, as per the rules of the house pool, so when he hugged Singer the director allegedly 'grabbed his bare buttocks'. Egan claims the three then went to a jacuzzi where he was ordered to sit on Collins-Rector's lap before being passed off to Singer.
It’s not uncommon for conservative media to put a very different spin on current events than major news organizations. For example, news consumers who surround themselves with nothing but conservative media might believe right now that the Affordable Care Act is in a death spiral, the IRS “scandal” is heating up; the nation is facing a debt crisis; the Benghazi conspiracy will soon rock the White House; etc. But once in a while, conservative media doesn’t just put a unique spin on the news, it also identifies stories that exist largely below the radar. Over the last week, for example, far-right news consumers have been captivated with coverage of Cliven Bundy, while for much of the American mainstream, that name probably doesn’t even sound familiar. If you don’t know the story, it’s time to get up to speed. U.S. officials ended a stand-off with hundreds of armed protesters in the Nevada desert on Saturday, calling off the government’s roundup of cattle it said were illegally grazing on federal land and giving about 300 animals back to the rancher who owned them. The dispute less than 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas between rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management had simmered for days. Bundy had stopped paying fees for grazing his cattle on the government land and officials said he had ignored court orders. Anti-government groups, right-wing politicians and gun-rights activists camped around Bundy’s ranch to support him. By any fair definition, this was an intense standoff with a very real possibility of significant casualties. But to understand how and why the crisis unfolded as it did over the weekend, we have to start with how it started in the first place. Ian Millhiser did a nice job summarizing the backstory. This conflict arises out of rancher Cliven Bundy’s many years of illegally grazing his cattle on federal lands. In 1998, a federal court ordered Bundy to cease grazing his livestock on an area of federal land known as the Bunkerville Allotment, and required him to pay the federal government $200 per day per head of cattle remaining on federal lands. Around the time it issued this order, the court also commented that “[t]he government has shown commendable restraint in allowing this trespass to continue for so long without impounding Bundy’s livestock.” Fifteen years later, Bundy continued to defy this court order. Last October, the federal government returned to court and obtained a new order, providing that “Bundy shall remove his livestock from the former Bunkerville Allotment within 45 days of the date hereof, and that the United States is entitled to seize and remove to impound any of Bundy’s cattle that remain in trespass after 45 days of the date hereof.” A third federal court order issued the same year explains that Bundy did not simply refuse to stop trespassing on federal lands – he actually expanded the range of his trespassing. According to the third order, “Bundy’s cattle have moved beyond the boundaries of the Bunkerville Allotment and are now trespassing on a broad swath of additional federal land (the “New Trespass Lands”), including public lands within the Gold Butte area that are administered by the BLM, and National Park System land within the Overton Arm and Gold Butte areas of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.” The third order also authorizes the federal government to “impound any of Bundy’s cattle that remain in trespass.” So, on the one hand we have Bundy, who’s said, “I don’t recognize [the] United States government as even existing.” It led him to repeatedly ignore federal law, repeatedly blow federal court rulings, and refuse to pay federal fines for his transgressions. On the other hand we have the United States government – which does, in fact, exist – showing considerable restraint in trying to resolve the problem. All of this started to come to a head last week, with federal officials going to the area late last week to enforce the law and seize the cattle Bundy has been illegally grazing. Except this proved to be problematic – Bundy’s heavily-armed allies, egged on by conservative media, showed up from a variety of Western states to confront U.S. officials. Facing the very real possibility that the anti-government forces might open fire, U.S. officials backed off in the interest of maintaining public safety. “Based on information about conditions on the ground and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public,” U.S. Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze, said in a statement. Bundy’s cattle, which had been rounded up, were released. The Bundy supporters and assorted militia members were pleased, the crowds dispersed, and no one was shot. But you probably see the problem: it’s unsustainable to think a group of well-armed extremists can simply block the enforcement of American laws in the United States. It’s perfectly understandable that the Bureau of Land Management saw a crisis unfolding and pulled back to prevent bloodshed, but there’s an obvious problem with establishing a radical precedent: you, too, can ignore the law and disregard court rulings you don’t like, just so long as you have well-armed friends pointing guns at Americans. To put it mildly, that’s not how the American system works. Indeed, that’s not how any system of government can ever work. Tensions eased over the weekend, but it seems likely that this story isn’t over yet.

What new addictions or maladies will Jackson come down with to generate more Press - Childhood Leukemia, Fibromyalgia, Gluten Intolerance? Will Cheyenne pull a Katie Holmes and finally get away from that cult? Approaching 40, Will Cheyenne ever top tweeting like 12 year-old girls? The drugs, the cults, the social climbing fiancee, and a big Gay summer wedding to wrap it all up. Place your bets, on what other surprises Ms. Jackson has in store for us?

It's kinda fun to go through the old blind items and try to solve them. For instance, this one from 1998 is obviously about Revolta: "This movie hero appears to be a loving husband and father in the Disney tradition, but when he's on location or the family's away, it's another story. He heads for the male bathhouses to seek out anonymous sex. Despite his famous face he hungrily prowls - eyeing every guy in the place. He likes fast uncommitted sex with all types, all colors. One week he was seen four nights in a row cavorting in the steam room. He's the talk of the gay community and if anyone spills the beans his career will be shattered."
I hope you bitches are happy! Look at what your gossiping has done!

By Lynne Adkins HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS) — Same-sex couples legally married in another state may face extra time filling out their tax forms in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages, so if a couple was legally married in another state, the partners can not file a joint state tax return here. “Typically, if folks file jointly or separately, they most times would not have any difference in the tax liability in Pennsylvania,” notes Rosalind Sutch, a CPA with the firm of Drucker & Scaccetti, in Philadelphia, “so the requirement that Pennsylvania has recently noted on its web site that folks of the same sex and legally married in another state have to file separate returns is merely a procedural exercise.” Legally married same-sex couples are permitted to file a joint federal tax return even if they live in a state that doesn’t recognize that union.

I bought one so I would not have to use dryer sheets anymore. It seemed like it was working fine, but tonight I decided to take it out just because I liked the smell of the Downy dryer sheets I used to use better. Well, the Bounce dryer bar cannot be removed from the inside of your dryer without leaving a sticky residue behind. I am going to have to spend a lot of time cleaning that stuff now so it doesn''t mess with my clothes. I did a search on the Bounce dryer bar on Google, and you would not believe how many websites with complaints pop up! You have been warned!

A lady I know bought herself a Birkin bag last week. She's wanted one for 20 years and has been saving up for over two years to buy it. When she went into the Toronto boutique to place an order, the sales person made a big deal about putting her on a waiting list. Then a bag "magically" appeared two weeks later, and not the 10 months the sales lady stated. The only luxury item I own is a Montblanc 149 fountain pen from the 1950's. I bought it for a $200, and it's worth about $1000. So what's your luxury item?

With a new cold war beginning and most of the world hating Russia as it's economy tanks? Maybe he's thinking he could have picked a better country? Why the fuck did he flee to China and Russia anyway? The fact he fled to these two countries is bizarrely ironic considering he's claiming he didn't do it out of espionage but out of a need for freedom of information. Anybody think he will eventually turn himself in so he can fight the charges, or will be continue to be a pussy and cower in that shithole of a country?

I've been watching this mess for about a month after giving up on CNN. What's with the random people just sitting around a desk, the old blonde chick ("Mika") sipping coffee constantly like she's dying of thirst.. The bulbus nosed "Joe" looking from side to side, contorting his face constantly in reaction to what the others are saying. WHO are the people? These various men from other MSNBC shows who just sit there and chime in on top news stories as if they're experts? Willie Geist??? John Roberts?? Deconstructing Russia's geopolitical motives and such???!? Then there's the bizarre montage of 'edgy' photos of Joe and Mika in various 'edgy' fashion poses, looking off into the distance, walking along train tracks, all while indie music plays (cause they're so hip).
Don''t these people have jobs? Aren''t they worried their employers, co-workers, sisters, cousins, grandmothers would see? If they''re in school, wouldn''t this make it hard to get a job in the future? \ \ I had thought people on Sean Cody type sites were whores but now I think they''re pretty high class compared to these Cam4 sluts. At least people want to pay to see the guys on Sean Cody and they''re modeling, being shot in a professional setting with professional equipment. They''re getting paid big money to put themselves through school or whatever. Now I respect them so much. I have no respect for Cam4 guys.

I just learned that 50s/60s sitcom star Bea Benederet of Burns & Allen/Petticoat Junction fame (and btw, Lucy's first choice for the Ethel Mertz role), is the mother of actor Jack Bannon (pictured; "Lou Grant", among many shows), who played Scott Easton, the character who stole Val's babies on Knots Landing. This is fascinating. Any others I should be aware of?
Thanks to widespread public ridicule, Hollywood producers & directors finally got the message and stop repeating such rom-com clichés as montages of retail therapy for the heroine, or scenes where she lipsyncs while holding a hairbrush/spatula/wire whisk as a microphone. But there are some things they still keep repeating in films I never want to see again--such as: *in ghost movies: ghosts with stringy black hair crawling along the shadowy floor, walls, or ceiling *in action films: Mexican standoffs *in biopics of famous singers: the singer's success is shown by a montage of his or her placements on the Billboard charts intercut with scenes of him or her singing in different venues What else?

I went to see Jake Silbermann in that shitty 3's Company play and got to go backstage. Van was there and I asked if I could take a pic of the two of them together. Jake seemed eager to comply, but Van went apeshit! I think he may have been drinking. Anyway, he snatched my iPhone right out of my hand and threw it to the floor, spewing obscenities at both me and Jake! Frothing at the mouth, he drew back his leg and kicked me right in the cunt! Jake finally shook himself out of what appeared to be a catatonic state and pulled Van away from me, but the damage was done. I've been in the hospital for weeks while my broken vagina bone heals. I got flowers and a get well card from Jake, apologizing for Van's behavior. He said Van is kinda crazy and they don't really speak anymore, but Van just showed up backstage to ask Jake for money (I guess he's broke). Luke Snyder was my BFF, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch a shitty Nuke fan video ever again!!

Since 1985 an Asian female figure has had at least one step on the World Championship podium 26 out of 29 years! An AMAZING feat resulting in 18 Gold medals, 9 Silver medals and 12 Bronze medals In 2007 it was a SWEEP as Miki Ando, Mao Asada and Yu-Na Kim swept the podium. Since 1992 Asian female figure has had at least one step on the Olympic Podium every Olympic games. Resulting in 3 Gold medals, 4 Silver medals, and 3 Bronze medals. Legendary skating coach Carlos Fassi said Asian women would dominate this sport when school figures were eliminated. The US women used to dominate this sport. Not anymore. The US women have not won a medal in singles at the World Championships in 8 years, the longest drought ever Fassi was right when he predicted Asian Women RULE Figure Skating. Why can't the US women falling so behind the Asian women?
Please take my poll. Right now these are the top names being bandied about as potential Letterman replacements.Also likely being discussed as potential candidates are Amy Schumer and Chelsea Handler; I did not list them because I ran out of space and it is unlikely they would be hired. But you are wlecome to vote for them as "Other." I also did not list Jon Stewart because almost everyone agrees it is extremely unlikely he would want to leave his position on Comedy Central, where he is top banana. You could also vote for him as "Other." Amy Poehler would have to leave "Parks and Recreation," but it is expected to be over when Letterman leaves next year.
Continue your foolishness.

It doesn't take much to upset you people, does it?

Casado's relaxed style of jeans and plaid shirts attracted wide attention during CNN's constant coverage of the search for the missing flight."

I just invited a friend from work and his partner over to my house over to watch Game of Thrones this weekend. He was really thrilled I asked, but they have a small pug Charlie they bring everywhere (the partner even brings Charlie to work), and I added "The thing is, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring your pug. My cat just doesn't like other animals." (She hates all other dogs and cats.) His face fell, and he said, "Even though Charlie is really quiet and gentle?" I explained my cat hates other animals and would be miserable if the pug were in the house. He said, "Well, we'd love to come over, but we've got to figure out what to do about Charlie." Was I rude to make this stipulation?

So we had T-mobile and ordered a new Iphone 5S and switched to their no contract SIMPLE plan. BIG MISTAKE. After two years of having an HTC One S and using about 300-400 mb of data a month, the I phone used 500 mb in three days. We got a warning three days into it that our account would be throttled. So we decided enough was enough (they had very spotty service for us) returned the i phone per their instructions (our dime to ship back, insured and tracking number) and we cancelled our TMO service and went to AT&T ( we got a very nice discount through my job and it ended up being more data and cheaper than TMO). So I send the phone back, get an confirmation email they got it and another saying they will refund the cost. Fast forward to my final bill over 900 dollars!! I called their CS and got someone speaking bad english. After an hour on the phone they assured me when I was charged the phone would not be on it and the termination fees they charged me would not be on it. So I checked my credit card today and guess what. Charged for everything. I spend another hour on the phone with another person who tried to convince me the bill was correct. I offered to email them copies of my emails FROM tmobile verifying they got the phone and I would be credited but nope. I finally lost it and started getting angry which I hate doing to a cs person. She said she would research it and no matter what call me back in 15 mins. 1 hour later no call. So I called back again...got someone else as soon as I explained to them what was going on my second line beeps. Guess who? She explains to me, she called the handset return dept and yes they have the phone but to refund it they need to submit a handset research request?? WTF? You just verified I returned it a month ago with your own people but to refund it you need to submit a request? SERIOUSLY? You want to keep my money for a month so you can make interest off it and then give it back? I am not a fucking bank. Fuck I hate them. even better....when you get an i phone, you don't get text messaging regular - it all goes through i message. If you move off the i phone, people who have iphones....can never text you again..? WTF part 2?? I called apple and they said they deleted it off their servers but anyone with an i phone would have to delete our contact and recreate it - which they did but still fails to send...jesus what a fucking nightmare.

Organizers of this year’s GaymerX, the gaming convention described as a “safe place” for LGBT gamers, announced on Twitter this week that their sophomore event will be their last. Without the help of large corporate sponsors, the event “became too much of a burden,” they said. Founded in 2013 as a Kickstarter project that aimed to celebrate the diverse LGBT culture in the gaming world, GaymerX launched a second Kickstarter campaign to fund this year’s meeting at the InterContinental Hotel in San Francisco. The campaign raised over $24,000 — $14,000 above their initial goal — but the event couldn’t be sustained without the help of corporate sponsors. “We decided that we could no longer continue as a convention as the price of running a yearly convention downtown in San Francisco was just too high — we weren’t able to get the corporate sponsorship that we needed to make it something sustainable, and we were racking up huge amounts of debt to put this years con on,” organizer Matt Conn told Polygon. “That being said, we’re going to make the very best convention we can and we’re super eager to see a rise in more alt-cons in the future, making gaming accessible to everyone.” But it’s not the end of the line for GaymerX. Conn also says that “anything could happen” and he’s “not against it coming back in some other, more sustainable form.” Until then, gaymers will have to endure the rampant transphobic mockery at events like the Eurogamer Expo.

Rob Kardashian is clearly struggling with something. While the rest of his famous family is living it up in Thailand, the 27-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is on his own somewhere else -- and hurting in a big way. On Tuesday, April 1, he took to his Twitter with a cryptic, troubling message for his 4.82 million followers. As KUWTK viewers know, Kardashian has been struggling in his attempts to lose weight in recent months. He's "really depressed," an insider previously told Us, adding that he "rarely shows up" for his personal training sessions. "The family is very concerned about him."

I'll scratch against the corner wall of my office and use a column between to rooms of out place like a bear would use a tree. I even sometime keep a regular kitchen knife in my nightstand to scratch my back when I wake it with an itch. WTF is wrong with me DL?!? Does this happen to anyone else?

Okay granted I am not from the south but is it typical for late forties and early fifties men to social friends with 20-30 somethings? Case #1 Thomas Ravenel who is 51 years old, been indicted for selling cocaine and forced to step down as state treasurer now wants to run for congress as a "Libertarian"." Episode two showed a picture of his father with a very large confederate flag draped across the steps of the state capitol. Racist much? Case #2 Whitney Sudler Smith - 41 year old "film maker" who lives with his mother. The rest of the cast seem in the late 20's to early 30's. Thomas seems to think he is quite the stud man about town....given he is handsome and rich he is also racist and vile.
This one frau got the okay to come in 11am now through the end of summer in order to accommodate some re-scheduling of her brat's camp schedule. Of course she still takes a full lunch break, spends all afternoon yapping with the other fraus, and doesn't stay past 5. A few months ago, when my cat was ill, I requested to leave an hour early for a week in order to get home in time to give her her medicine. I was denied, with the reason that if they make allowances for me, they'll have to do the same for other employees. If that's not a double standard, I don't know what is. These fraus who vomit up a few kids have it so easy and are master manipulators at using these brats as excuses for getting out of doing work. They actually don't get enough for credit for that. Bravo, fraus.

[quote]Was it all just for the cameras? Lindsay Lohan abruptly fired her sober living coach, Michael Cormier, after completing filming for her self-titled reality show for OWN, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. Viewers of Lindsay have seen Cormier on camera supporting Lohan as the show chronicles the troubled actress’ life after her 2013 rehab stint. “But as soon as the cameras were packed up, Lindsay gave Michael the pink slip, and he hasn’t heard from her since,” a source close to the production told Radar. The guy got paid $1,500 a day to say things like "When Lindsay feels like she has been tricked… it’s really intensely triggering for her.”

Original Buffy the Vampire Slayer Kristy Swanson doesn''t agree with Joss Whedon that revisiting the 1992 movie is a bad idea.\ \ In fact, the 40-year-old actress is touting for a role in Warner Brothers'' remake.\ \ "If they wanted me to be a part of it, I think that would be fantastic and that it would be a blast," she told Entertainment Weekly.\ \ Her enthusiam isn''t shared by Buffy creator Whedon, whose response to the remake announcement came via a sardonic written statement to E! Online, in which he called it "a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths."\ \ But Swanson has no such reservations, adding: "There are die-hard Joss Whedon fans who absolutely love him to death, and rightly so; he''s a brilliant man, no doubt. I love everything Buffy. I don''t care who''s doing it."\ \ Swanson''s co-star Luke Perry has so far declined to give his reaction.

Seems like it. Obviously, some of them are good-looking but on the whole, Brits don't seem to require their actors to have model looks.
Oh yes..
… but he doesnt work out and he's starting to get a little gut. Cute, now, but the shots above his head show his hair is also receding. Is he destined to be pudgy and bald and a has been at 30?

What size is this woman? My sister says she looks to be a US size 8, but I think she is way bigger. Probably a US size 16.

NEW YORK (AP) %E2%80%94 Only a week after the announcement that the character Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series is gay, the fictional world is again shocked with the revelation by Steven Blanc, son of voice artist Mel Blanc, that the perennial prankster %E2%80%9CBugs%E2%80%9D Bunny of Looney Tunes cartoons is also gay. This announcement, while unexpected, give new and clearer meaning to many of the on-screen exchanges between the smart-aleck %E2%80%9Cwacky wabbit%E2%80%9D and his put-upon nemesis, Elmer Fudd. Bugs Bunny was in love with his male rival, Steven Blanc says. The author of %E2%80%9CBugs and Elmer: A Forbidden Love,%E2%80%9D stunned fans at the Academy of Motion Pictures annual Warner Brothers Looney Tunes Night, when he answered one young reader%E2%80%99s question about Bugs by saying that he was gay and had been in love with Elmer Fudd for years. %E2%80%98%E2%80%9DYou have to remember that this was Hollywood of the Golden Age, even before Rock Hudson. The studio just wouldn%E2%80%99t allow it. Instead, Bugs and Elmer expressed their love for each using homosexual codes of the day, such as Elmer pointing a gun at Bugs, and Bugs responding with a squirt of seltzer in his face. Those in the closeted gay community clearly knew that Bugs famous %E2%80%9CWhat%E2%80%99s Up, Doc?%E2%80%9D was the password to get entry into the notorious Hammer Club on the Sunset Strip.%E2%80%9D The news of Bugs Bunny%E2%80%99s homosexuality brought gasps, then applause at the Academy, and set off thousands of e-mails on Warner Brothers cartoon Web sites around the world. Some were dismayed, others indifferent, but most were supportive. %E2%80%9D %E2%80%98BUGS BUNNY IS GAY%E2%80%99 is quite a headline to stumble upon on a Friday evening, and it%E2%80%99s certainly not what I expected,%E2%80%9D added Looney Tunes fan Charlie Johnson, of Trenton, New Jersey. %E2%80%9C(But) a gay character in the most popular cartoon in the world is a big step for gay rights.%E2%80%9D

"Good Morning America" confirmed Tuesday that Michael Strahan will be joining the show. Strahan made a quick visit to the set to announce his role as the show's new part-time correspondent. Tuesday's show confirmed earlier reports that he was slated to join "GMA" part-time while continuing to host "Live!", which Strahan himself had alluded to on "Live!" earlier this month. He high-fived cheering fans on his way to the anchor desk, where Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Amy Robach and Lara Spencer gave him a warm welcome. "We love you. We love Kelly," Roberts said. "Great friends to us over the years. So excited that you're going to join us a couple days a week." Strahan will be back on the show in his new role starting next week.

By Outlook Ohio Some Cleveland taxi drivers are dropping out of a dedicated cab service at the city’s airport because they don’t want to drive vehicles with signs promoting the upcoming Gay Games. WOIO-TV in Cleveland reported that at least 17 drivers have refused to drive cabs with Gay Games signs. Most of the drivers are Muslim and have cited religious objections, the station said. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport hosts a dedicated service in which three local cab companies use special vehicles and preset rates. According to the airport website, the drivers who participate in the service receive “enhanced customer-service training.” Gay Games Executive Director Tom Nobbe told Outlook this morning that the cab drivers’ objections run counter to the overall reaction to the international event in northeastern Ohio. Organizers have offered to line up LGBT-inclusive diversity training for transportation, safety, hospitality and other businesses and agencies whose employees will help Gay Games visitors, he said. “This could accelerate those efforts,” Nobbe said. “It’s unfortunate they feel this way,” he said of the cab drivers. “It’s the first time something like this has happened.” The ninth Gay Games, featuring competitions in 36 sports, is scheduled for Aug. 9-16 in Cleveland and Akron. Organizers expect 30,000 participants and spectators. Airport Director Ricky Smith issued a statement confirming that two of the service’s three cab companies – Ace and Yellow Taxi Cab – had drivers drop out of the airport program because of religious reasons. He said they will be replaced within three weeks.
Who else here in America is terrified because we live in a country of mostly such incredibly stupid people? There are more of them, the incredibly stupid Republicans, than there are of us. Also they vote. For the most part we don't unless it's for president and even then... How, after everything, every lie, every thing they have tried to take away and have taken away can there still be so many fucking morons that would give them back the House, nevertheless the Senate??? Now we have to add in voter suppression that Democrats are hardly lifting a finger to fight. Unless you are very rich, white and straight how can you not be terrified? Does anyone think there is time and any kind of effort out there to stop this evil? I feel totally hopeless. How do you fight such stupidity?

James Franco to Star as Former Gay Activist in Gus Van Sant Movie
Over the weekend I watched a PBS documentary on The DC5 and I was wondering . . . Was Dave Clark gay? He's now 71 years old and he never married. I found an article online mentioning him having a girlfriend sometime in the past, but absolutely nothing beyond that - other than the old cliché of his being too wrapped up in his business ventures to get involved in a serious relationship. He was close friends with Freddie Mercury for over 15 years and was at his death bed when he died.

The drunk driving kid from Texas who killed 4 people and was sentenced to probation is headed to a CA facility that charges nearly half a million dollars a year. His parents are only paying $1170 a month for this "treatment" which is a typical child support payment for someone of their wealth. The kid and his parents are getting off easy, but how do insurance companies justify treatment programs that cost so much and do so little? These places essentially babysit juvenile delinquents and about once a week, they see the house shrink for 30 minutes. It's a scam.
I always got a gay vibe from him. And in his 2004 comedy show, "I Say Nay Nay" he kept talking about "his friend" who is never named, but figures prominently in his life, along with his immediate family. He had gastric bypass surgery in 1999, and lost over 100 pounds, but then started gaining weight again, and stopped talking about "his friend" in his shows. I won't say he was just like Louis Anderson, since John wasn't blackmailed, but was he another closeted fat man, who used comedy--and food--to mask the pain?
Is there a point to this? Has someone been stupid enough to hire this bimbo for another movie role?
Golfer who agrees that being gay is ‘an open rebellion to God’ wins Masters 15th April 2014, 5:52 PM; Joseph Patrick McCormick A golfer who voiced his support for a sports analyst who said gay NBA player Jason Collins’ coming out was an “open rebellion to God” has won the Masters. 35-year-old Bubba Watson from Florida on 13 April won the Masters and picked up the $1.6 million (£950,000) prize. Jason Collins last year spoke about his sexuality, confirming he is gay in an article in Sports Illustrated magazine. He said: “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay. Watson then tweeted his approval when Chris Broussard, a senior writer for ESPN Magazine said on air that Jason Collins’ coming out as gay was an “open rebellion to God”. The golf star tweeted “Thanks… for sharing your faith and the bible. #GodIsGood.” He later tweeted to say that he did not think he was “better than anyone else”, and that he would go to dinner with Collins, should the NBA star ask. This week’s win for Watson was his second in three years.

I know because the lock was taken off the big window, which was ever so slightly ajar, and the front door deadbolt was turned upside down so the bolt now comes from the bottom instead of the top. Is this some freaky landlord shit or should I be calling the police, or was it a Homeland Security Sneak 'n Peek. I can't imagine a burglar bothering to replace the deadbolt and nothing was taken. I can think of some booby traps of course. I don't have time for this shit.
I'm pretty jaded when it comes to horror flicks, so if anyone knows of any good ones, feel free to post.
The controversial drag queen makes use of the transphobic term 'shemale' in a segment reminiscent of Maury Povich's 'Man or Woman?' episodes. Last night's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race featured a contest many on Twitter are calling transphobic. The game, "Female or Shemale," pitted the contestants against each other in a quest to determine whether they were being shown a picture of — as RuPaul phrased it — "a biological woman or a psychological woman." In announcing the name of the game, "female" was said in a higher-pitched tone, while "shemale" was said in a low, gruff, masculine-sounding tone. The contestants laugh as they guess whether or not the body part they're being shown belongs to a cisgender (nontrans) woman. The show has a long history of using the term "shemale" in various plays on words, most notably during a segment called, "You've Got Shemail." In last night's game, contestants saw pictures of cisgender women Christina Aguilera, former WWE wrestler Chyna, and "Tan Mom" Patricia Krentcil, alongside photos of well-known drag queens. "Shemale" is a word that historically refers to transgender women, most prominent in pornography. The word originated with transgender porn and doesn't have roots in "drag culture," as some have argued is the case with the word "tranny." GLAAD's transgender media reference guide denotes two levels of terms to avoid: problematic and defamatory. "Shemale" falls under the defamatory heading, with GLAAD officials writing that the word — along with words like "tranny," "shim," and "gender-bender" — "only serves to dehumanize transgender people and should not be used." In response to a 2013 episode of CBS's Mike & Molly, GLAAD called out the sitcom for its use of the word "shemale," among other problematic portions of the episode. "The use of the derogatory term 'shemale' is offensive in and of itself," GLAAD said in response to the Mike and Molly episode. "Humor like this is unfortunately much more than 'just a joke.' When a minority group is repeatedly made the object of ridicule, the majority finds it much harder to see them as fellow human beings deserving of dignity and respect, which can have direct real-life consequences. In addition to being hurtful and dehumanizing, it's sentiments like the ones driving these jokes that fuel the disproportionately high levels of discrimination and violence faced by transgender women." When asked for comment on last night's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, GLAAD vice president of communications Rich Ferraro responded, "While some drag queens may use the term to refer to themselves, 'she-male' is too often used by others as an offensive term to denigrate and hypersexualize transgender women. Unfortunately, most Americans are still unaware that there is a difference between gay men who perform in drag and transgender women. That's why GLAAD will continue to tell the stories of trans women like CeCe McDonald, Carmen Carrera, and CrossFit athlete Chloie Jonsson." This is far from the first time RuPaul has stoked the ire of trans people. He has famously defended his use of the word "tranny" on Drag Race and in his music, and once claimed that the only difference between a transgender woman and a drag queen was "$25,000 and a good surgeon." To date, RuPaul has not responded to The Advocate's requests to clarify his position on derogatory words used in his show.

I avoid Woody Allen any chance I have, but I like Turturro and the scene at link is funny. The film got a very good response at Toronto Film Festival (it got an excellent review in the Guardian). Not a shill, just interested in watching a good, light comedy.
Picture it like this: First, you'd be on your knees in front of them and have to service all 3 with your mouth. Then, they'd say "Get on all fours, you whore - we want to use your cunt", and they'd fuck you one after the other, slapping your ass and calling you names, till you had let all of them cum.
Why he could be gay/bi: 1. He hangs with the "gay posse" Colton Haynes, Matthew Morrison, JC Chasez, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgely, etc. 2. He LOVES Les Mis 3. There've been rumors about him and Penn Badgely, him and Colton Haynes, etc. 4. Not linked with any girls recently. Why he could be straight: 1. He might hang with the "gay posse" simply because they all have the same manager? 2. There's just not much evidence on his Twitter that he's into guys or into gay interested, as opposed to Jonathan Bennett, who follows EVERY hot guy on Twitter. 3. He had a fucking BEARD recently (the hairy kind, not the female kind). I don't know any gay guys that grow facial hair! How come Shawn Pyfrom hasn't been acting lately? What has he been up to?
It's 4:35 on the West Coast and I just made myself a rum and soda. Am I an alkie?

He is 35,unmarried, rarely attends public events with a girl on his arm, no hint of a girlfriend. If he is gay coming out just might help his career at this point. I also think he is very handsome.

Isn't this redundant? I am sending an email invitation out and have the compulsion to write "Please rsvp" despite knowing full well that RSVP means "respond please". But, will it seem rude to the 90% of people who don't know that to not include "please"?
