DataLounge get your fix of gay gossip, news and pointless bitchery.
Me with a guy who is physically my type. Like to a T. Can't believe this conversation just happened. After I asked him if he was bi... HE: Nope. 99% straight. I don't say a hundred because I'm very comfortable with sexuality in general and my sexuality as well. I had sex with a guy a bunch of times in high school. Men don't do anything for me. ME: You should let me kiss you. HE: That makes as much sense as some crazy girls who believe they can turn straight men gay. ME: Hm? You mean turn gay men straight. Freudian slip. Can't be 99% straight if you had more sex with men than I did in high school. HE: Not a Freudian slip. I have a high libido and was willing to try it. Each time, I was barely aroused and didn't enjoy it. You can't use the just try it technique. I've tried it lol ME: Wrong guy. I'm fine. I just want to kiss you. HE: That would be too weird. ME: Ok HE: I'm flattered though. ME: Good. Then I mentioned an article that said I made a lot of money which I don't. I'm a celebrity and don't want to give away my identity to DL so I'll skip that part. Then... ME: Would you kiss me if I did? HE: Lol why do you like me so much? I'm a STRAIGHT depressed wreck who cries over a girl that wouldn't marry me. There are plenty of gay men who would give their left testicle to kiss you. ME: You're adorable. Oo I don't want their testicles. You're like my type exactly. HE: but I'm straight! ME: Crazy. Almost like a joke. Like you were made for me from the minute I saw you. I was like really? HE: I'll make a deal with you. Do you have any female friends that you could set me up with? ME: How is that a good deal for me? HE: You haven't heard my proposition yet. ME: Listening.... Then something else that gives away my identity and then... ME: Does it somehow involve me sucking your dick? HE: I'll give you the hottest kiss of your life if you hook me up with an attractive female with a high sex drive. ME: Holy shit. I want that kiss. I don't know women. You're teasing me. HE: That's impossible! I know plenty of gay men. You must know some horny straight women. Not teasing. I will hold up my end of the bargain. ME: Hmmm. I don't really have too many friends. Then more that gives my identity away. Then... ME: I mean I have a lot of horny FANS. That I do have. HE: I'm willing to up the anty as well ME: How so? HE: If you set me up with a hot famous actress, I will fuck you. ME: Hahahaha. I've never been fucked. That would be interesting. I'd let you though I think. Actress? Hm. HE: I'm serious. I will kiss you and you can suck my dick and I would fuck you two ways from Sunday. ME: Sweet. You'll be gentle? HE: Of course. And it goes on. Then he texts me a pic of his small erect dick as an "incentive." Says he "took that for a chick last week." I sent him a pick of mine and he laughed and said "I deleted it. I'm sure it's nice but not my cup of tea." So what does this all mean?
I'll be there this weekend. I had some miles and decided to see it at least once in my lifetime (San Francisco or Boston is more my speed for a weekend getaway). Any suggestions for the solo gay traveler? I kind of want to see Chippendales but would it be too weird to go alone?
Fuck it, I'm starting yet another DLB thread... in photos 5 & 6, who is sucking whose balls, and who is taking it up the ass? Dustin or the bf?

I''m a 33 year old white guy and until now had only been "attracted" to other white guys. But about 3 months ago, I met a black guy, a friend of a friend, at a small party.\ \ We talked quite a bit at the party and I found him witty and very interesting. Still, I was not romantically attracted. At the end of the evening, Paul asked me for my number and asked if I would be open for drinks one day. I was caught a little off guard but gave him my number. \ \ Long story short, we went for drinks, which went well, made out, yada yada and now I could not be happier. I''m struggling with what my initial hesitance was to not being more open about dating someone not white.\ \ And to honest, I''m just dumbstruck as to how well this relationship is going. It''s still new, but it''s fucking good and Paul is fantastic:\ \ Tall and handsome\ \ Smart and funny\ \ Stable\ \ Sex is the best\ \ In some ways this has been to good to be true. \ \ What have been your experiences in interracial dating?

I'm finding I'm always drawn to the fat guys on Cam4 or Chaturbate. Sometimes it's out of morbid curiousity since you can't really see these guys naked in porn. No porn studio would accept them without a good body. So it's kind of a rare thing to see these types show off their dicks. Some of them are actually really cute. They're like fratboys who drink too much and don't go to the gym. Here's an example of a cute fattie.
Am I all of a sudden into fatties now?

I've been sorta sleeping with this guy and he sorta has a slight meth addiction. I know I probably shouldn't be he's so hot and fucks me real good. You would totally not know he was a meth addict unless you spent a lot of time with him, like me. I should stop right? Oh, we're always safe (at anal).

NBC is looking to start a new holiday tradition. After the success of the ambitious The Sound of Music Live! last week that drew 18.6 million viewers, the network is committing to staging another live family-friendly musical production for the holiday season in 2014, NBC confirms to The Hollywood Reporter. NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in an interview with The New York Times that they were "circling a couple of titles" that could be staged next year, to be led by Sound of Music producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan. The only rules are that they must be Broadway classics with a slew of familiar songs. "All weekend, people have been calling us and emailing us," Greenblatt told the Times. "Rights holders of musicals have said, 'Please do one of our shows.' We’re excited to try it again." Greenblatt also confirmed that live TV musicals may become an annual thing for the network come the holidays, voicing his belief that event television is crucial to the future of broadcast. "There’s enough to do a handful of these over the next years, if we keep increasing the learning curve," Greenblatt said. "There may be a little bit of a phenomenon to the first one of these. Who knows what happens year two, three or four. But you’ve got to have events. I think we could do this again -- and again and again.” Though Sound of Music took 18 months to put together, Greenblatt said the next live musical won't take nearly as long. "Now that we have done it once, we don’t need 18 months again," he said. "We know a lot about how to do it." THR previously reported that the price tag for the three-hour extravaganza that aired Dec. 5 was close to $9 million. A 22-song soundtrack featuring Carrie Underwood is available on iTunes, with an encore airing sometime before Christmas and a DVD/Blu-ray release on Dec. 17. Meron had hinted in an interview with THR that he and Zadan had high hopes for more live TV events in the future should Sound of Music prove successful. "What we are hoping is in success that we open the door to another kind of entertainment that can exist on TV," Meron said at the time.

This is an offshoot of the "guys who won't bottom" thread. A trade top is someone who only gets sucked (and sometimes rimmed) and tops. In other words, he doesn't kiss, rim, suck, or bottom. For me, this is a total turn-off. I don't mind guys who don't bottom, but if they don't do ANYTHING else, it doesn't work for me. I wouldn't want a guy like that in real life, so I don't like it in porn either. When I see a video with any of these guys, I automatically avoid it (unless it's obvious that they've changed their proclivities.) Some trade tops (please add to the list and correct me if I'm mistaken): Trystan Bull Cody Cummings Zeb Atlas (although I think he's sucked a couple of times)

I noticed a few recently. 1. Just before they go to Hollywood, Lucy is on the phone with her friend Marian Van Vlack discussing the trip. Couple of episodes later, when Mrs McGillicuddy arrives, Lucy asks her mother how Marian Van Vlack is doing, as if she hadn't had contact with her in ages. 2. In that same episode where Mrs McG arrives, she announces she wants to go Hollywood so she can take her book to Dore Schary, with the hope that he'll turn it into a screenplay. A few eps later, when they're all in Hollywood, Ricky makes a comment about Dore Shary, and Mrs McG shrieks over and over, "Who's Dore Schary? Who's Dore Schary?" 3. This one's a blooper: in an episode when they're getting ready to go to Europe, Fred brings his old vaudeville trunk to the Ricardos. The phone rings, and Ricky picks it up. I don't know if the sound people had the phone ring prematurely, but just after he picks up the phone, with phone to the ear, he turns to Fred and asks what that trunk is. Lucy has to quickly remind him that he's on the phone when she scoldingly says, "the phone, dear." Any others you can think of?
Ben Affleck knows the drill when it comes to the paparazzi, but he's sick and tired of his children being followed and photographed. In a new interview with Playboy, Affleck shares his thoughts on being in the spotlight and admits that although he's fine with photographers following him around, he's not okay with grown men chasing after his three kids -- Violet, 8, Seraphina, 4, and Samuel, 1 -- with Jennifer Garner. "You can say what you want about me. You can yell at me with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow me around and take pictures all you want. I don't care. There are a couple of guys outside right now. Terrific. That's part of the deal. But it's wrong and disgusting to follow children around and take their picture and sell it for money," he tells Playboy. "It makes the kids less safe. They used to take pictures of our children coming out of preschool, and so this stalker who had threatened to kill me, my wife and our kids showed up at the school and got arrested. I mean, there are real practical dangers to this." "My kids aren't celebrities. They never made that bargain ... As their father it's my job to protect them from that stuff," Affleck explains to Playboy. "I try my very best, and sometimes I'm successful. The tragic thing is, people who see those pictures naturally think it’s sweet. They don't see the gigantic former gang member with a huge lens standing over a four-year-old and screaming to get the kid's attention." "The kids are always looking down because they're freaked out and scared of these people," he adds. "And so they yell. Which is fine if you're Lindsay Lohan coming out of a club, or me or any adult," remarks Affleck. "With kids it's tasteless at best."

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.

The Sun: Tom Daley has revealed HE made the first move on boyfriend Dustin Lance Black
I love that look! Both to observe and to participate in....in fact whenever I am naked without socks, I feel a little naked.
He looked particularly good last night on The Voice, dressed up and with his hair slicked back, Don Draper style. (And all the ugly tats were covered up as well.) It's a good look for him. He should make it permanent.
Who are some stars who are widely assumed to be straight, but you think they might be queer? For me its Jennifer Lopez. Never heard any rumors about her but she always dated flamers like P. Diddy and that backup dancer guy with gayface.
She looks like the love child of Rodney Dangerfield and a hard-boiled egg.

Several months ago I got a text from a married coworker late in the evening. He asked if I’d been flirting with him during an interaction that afternoon. I assured him that I was not (good body horrible personality) he responded that he’d been with guys before I told him that this was not a discussion for text messaging and that if he wanted to he could come by my office and talk, otherwise I’d forget that the texts existed. He asked me to delete the texts and that was the end of it. The conversation never felt quite right and after a few days I just stopped thinking about it. This particular coworker has been very overly friendly in what felt like a purposefully annoying way for over a year now when greeting me he even used this SNL frat boy voice that made me cringe. Other than this being his annoying personality I never gave it much thought. Yesterday I discovered that his bizarre behavior towards me was an was an inside joke and that for over a year he and a few of the other “good ole boys” had been laughing about it, that even those annoying greetings had been, in effect, him calling me a faggot. The only good thing I can say about the situation is how happy I am that I didn't respond to those texts in a positive way. I could never have gotten over the humiliation of playing into him/them like that. I want revenge. Holy shit do I want satisfaction. Any Ideas???
I left back in September. It wasn't easy. He just texted me the following less than an hour ago: Remember that I love you very, very much. I wish you all the success and happiness in the world, yo deserve it. Have a merry Xmas. You deserve it. Goodbye. I've been calling him non-stop since. He sounds like he is going to commit suicide. I am beside myself. I already called his mom and brother to tell them to call him. Neither has been able to get through just like me. I feel so helpless.

[quote]Sir Ian McKellen argues that today's young actors will never develop into fine middle-aged performers because they have not honed their talents in repertory theatre. 15 Nov 2012 Britain will produce no more actors of the calibre of Dame Judi Dench or Sir Derek Jacobi because repertory theatre has died out, according to Sir Ian McKellen. Sir Ian said he would not have the career he has today without a grounding in regional rep. The current crop of actors, who go straight into television and film roles or appear in the occasional stage production, do not have the same experience. “The situation is desperate. There are no [resident] companies in this country - not even the National Theatre has one. There’s a desert,” he said. “The danger’s going to be that the current generation of actors won’t develop into good middle-aged performers because they won’t have been able to live from their work. “The strength of British theatre should be that these actors in their middle years know what they’re doing and are good at it. Not rich, not famous, but making a living.” Sir Ian said he had “always been an actor for the long haul. And it all began for me with doing three years’ apprenticeship. I didn’t go to drama school.” He appeared in 15 productions at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry in the early 1960s, where he was paid £8 10s and honed his talents in Shakespeare, Chekhov and Agatha Christie. Asked if the current system could “produce another Sir Ian”, the actor replied: “No. Nor Derek Jacobi, Mike Gambon or Judi Dench. I got better as an actor, and still I’m getting better. That’s only been possible because there’s always been work.” Dame Judi has also spoken about the benefits of appearing in regional rep, where a full-time, resident company performed different plays. “You could make mistakes, and have a go at playing some terribly old person when you were 23. Ideally, what I’d like is to be in a company and not be doing the same play every night,” she has said. Sir Ian, 73, told the December issue of Reader’s Digest that spending years in regional theatre had other benefits. “Why do you act? You act for an audience. In the theatre, you’re in their presence. Film stars don’t know what it is to have an audience,” he said. “You see some at awards ceremonies who can hardly make it to the middle of the stage, they’re so nervous. There’s a microphone so they don’t have to project. And they read their words. “You see a theatre actor come on and it’s, ‘Oh, hold on, there’s a show happening’. Hugh Jackman at the Oscars - that’s a theatre man, who happens to be a film star.” Sir Ian won a new generation of fans with two roles in Hollywood blockbusters: Magneto in the X-Men franchise and Gandalf in JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. He is reprising Gandalf in The Hobbit, which opens next month. The actor said he refused to be “snooty” about his roles. “I’ve always had very catholic tastes. Tolkien and X-Men are both good storytelling. They’re not franchises about cannibals or mindless outer space visitors - these are epic tales that do more than entertain,” he said. “Millions and millions of people have seen Lord of the Rings. Of course I’m more famous for that than Waiting for Godot. Just because a piece of work has been seen by so many more people doesn’t mean it’s less in value. “I’d as soon see a pantomime as a revival of Shakespeare; it all depends if it’s any good.” Sir Ian was one of the first celebrities to embrace the internet, posting regular blogs on his website long before they became commonplace. In the interview, he joked that he had “almost invented” blogging. “We called it e-posts. Didn’t catch on,” he said. “I’ve always been interested in publicity. I remember doing Bent with Michael Cashman and going round London putting up our posters. All this internet stuff is far easier.” The full interview appears in the December issue of Reader’s Digest, out on November 20

Which one says "alpha male"?
Disgusting. (Btw this is from a straight sports blog.) "Free agent safety Kerry Rhodes was more or less outed by Media Takeout during the offseason (the pictures that MTO posted of him with another man appear to have been scrubbed from the site). He still hasn't found a job. This is fucked up, because Kerry Rhodes is good. In fact, by many metrics, he's very good. Rhodes picked off four passes last season (two of them came against the Jets, but still!) and was part of the fifth-best pass defense in the NFL. Pro Football Focus had him ranked as the fourth-best safety in all of football in 2012. Apart from the retired Ronde Barber, Rhodes is the only player in PFF's top 30 safeties from 2012 that doesn't currently have a job. Look at his career stats and you will see that there was no obvious drop-off in the quality of Rhodes's play in 2012 compared to the seven previous seasons. He's been serviceable at worst and Pro Bowl-caliber at best. Nothing about him has changed except for the fact that someone put up a picture of him with his arm around a dude. Rhodes has vehemently denied the gay rumors, and yet the mere [italic]suspicion[/italic] of his gayness seems to have been enough to make him unemployable." (more at link)

I noticed a few recently. 1. Even though the theme song says she's "fantastic... made of plastic," in some episodes it's clear in some episodes Vicki is made of metal because she's magnetic. 2. Although her name "Voice Input Child Identicant" as the acronym "VICI," they spell her name "Vicki" in several episodes and in the credits. 3. In certain episodes she has powers (like shrinking to tiny size or growing ten feet tall) she never exhibits in other episodes. 4. Although she is the most sophisticated computer on Earth that can perfectly mimic humans in all other ways, she cannot speak in other but a monotone, and yet no on catches on she's a robot. Because all of these inconsistencies MUST be logically explained and made coherent, I cannot rest until every single one of them is.

She has made over 60 films, and the Kennedy Center could only come up with one former co-star to pay tribute. Kathy Bates. So they were forced to stage selections from Pajama Game and Seesaw. Why wouldn't any of Shirley's former co-stars show up to salute her?
Mine: People who drive neck to neck on a 6 lane highway and under the speed limit. I don''t know if it''s where I live (on the coast, so people are more laid back) but every fucking morning I get stuck behind people lollygagging along doing 40 on a 45 mph road, so I normally do at least 55. All you can do is wait until one of them inches forward enough to squeeze in front. This morning I was doing 52 and left them all in the dust. WTF are they doing and do they ever look in the rearview mirror and see a mile of traffic behind them?

Are there any specific types of clothing which turns you on when you see a guy wearing them -- suits, military uniforms, sports uniforms, even a specific article of clothing? I've always enjoyed seeing a guy in a crisp white dress shirt and black dress pants (sort of the "Mormon look" but it doesn't have to be the exact thing).

It drives me insane. I work with a woman who does this to everyone. What''s even worse is that her very loud interruptions usually have nothing to do with the topic of discussion. Also she will often walk into a room loudly proclaiming something. This woman practically yells when she speaks. What is wrong with people who behave this way? Do they even realize what they are doing?

They''re all so ridiculously good looking and hot. And don''t get me started on their thick, meaty bubble butts. They REALLY get my boihole all atwitter. Many of them are bi too. Most of the guys in my gym are Dominican, and I''ve slept with at least six of them in the past year. %0D\ %0D\ %0D\ I moved to Inwood last year, and they''re all around. They''re everywhere. It''s like a wet dream come to life. I never want to live anywhere else. Seriously addicted to these men. Surely there must be a 12-step program for me. Anyone else totally in awe of Dominican men?
Matt Damon knows the drill when it comes to the paparazzi, but he's sick and tired of being followed and photographed. In an interview with Playgirl (online), Damon shares his thoughts on being in the spotlight and admits that although he's fine with photographers following pal Ben Affleck's kids around, he's not okay with grown men chasing after him. "You can say what you want about Violet Affleck. You can yell at Seraphina with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow them around and take pictures all you want. I don't care. There are a couple of guys outside their school right now. Terrific. That's part of the deal. But it's wrong and disgusting to follow me around and take my picture and sell it for money," he tells Playgirl. "It makes me less safe. They used to take pictures of me coming out of my Latin lover's condo (which I bought for him and to preserve our privacy) in Miami, and so this stalker who had threatened to kill me and my boy toy showed up at the condo and got arrested. I mean, there are real practical dangers to this." "Ben's kids are celebrities. His fame whore wife and him made that deal ... As their father it's his job to keep their names in the tabloids in spite of his questionable choices of roles," Damon explains to Playgirl. "I try my very best to keep the paps away, and sometimes I'm successful. The tragic thing is, people who see those pictures naturally think it’s sweet. They don't see the gigantic former gang member with a huge lens standing over a forty three-year-old and screaming to get his attention." "I'm always looking down because I'm freaked out and scared of these people," he adds. "And so they yell. Which is fine if you're Lindsay Lohan coming out of a club, or Affleck's kids or any kids," remarks Damon. "With me it's tasteless at best."
I'm a rare gay that both loves sports and excels at them. Today, I went to my local park and played some pick up games with a few college aged straight guys. Naturally, my team won each game. Afterwards, we were all sitting around chatting. They were commenting on my balling skills, asking me if I played in college, etc. I let them know I was gay. One of the guys said, "I just got destroyed by a gay guy." I responded, "you wouldn't be first straight guy that said to me." We laughed; it was just typical banter that always happens after a game. Then we exchanged numbers for more pickup games later. Right. I know what those guys really want. Well, at least one of them. Haha I am telling you, sports is an awesome way to meet guys. I would encourage more gays to participate.

In what could be one of the more startling reversals since New Coke, a report released Monday claims that Microsoft will bring back a Windows 7-style Start menu to what is being called Windows 8.2. (snip) (In Windows 8.2) with the ability to boot to the desktop, access apps via the Start menu, and launch Metro apps via Windows on the desktop, there seems to be a good chance that users will be able to bury the Metro-styled, Windows 8 Start page where IT WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN.

The new wave of celebrity coming out dares you to not “bi” into it. Last week, diving champ Tom Daley posted a YouTube video intriguingly titled, “Something I want to say.” And it was a mouthful. Daley revealed that he’s in love with a guy (reportedly Oscar winning Milk writer Dustin Lance Black, though Black hasn’t confirmed that yet) and he’s deliriously happy about this development. But “of course I still fancy girls,” Daley significantly added. (That’s good news for girls, if not for Black, lol.) The week before that, Maria Bello—the Golden Globe-nominated actress from films like The Cooler, A History of Violence, and Prisoners—wrote a New York Times Modern Love essay describing how her relationship with her best friend (Clare Munn) eventually evolved into a romantic one, to the actress’s surprise and delight. In the article, Bello revealed that she told her 12-year-old son from an ex-boyfriend about the relationship, not sure of what to expect. His reaction? “Mom, love is love.” And that’s long been the most resonant message of the LGBT community. I’ve written before about people who pretend to be bisexual as a cover for their actual gayness, but that doesn’t discount the fact that millions of real bisexuals actually exist and that a relationship between any consenting adults is perfectly valid as long as they find it so. Just because some of us can’t fathom such a concept for ourselves doesn’t erase the reality that for many people looking for relationships, gender is not an issue, the person is. And that’s the same message gay men and lesbians have always propagated to justify their own relationships! Of course, the love flow can work both ways. In 1997, actress Anne Heche—who’d previously had relationships with men—hooked up with funny lady Ellen DeGeneres, as the world went wild flapping their gums about it. But when they broke up three years later, Heche took up with a man, as angry gay people called her a traitor and a phony. But Heche had already said that love involves falling for a person, regardless of expectations or labels. That seemed to me like a true statement of bisexuality, and her dating men again didn’t come off the least bit contradictory or hypocritical. So, let’s welcome Daley and Bello into our ranks regardless of the tags they might fall under. Let’s plug up the biphobia and open our minds to a world of romance where unscripted things happen all the time. Just please tell me off if I ever claim to still fancy girls.

Jesus take the wheel! Carrie Underwood isn't letting "Sound of Music Live!" critics get her down. The country singer has slammed "mean people" via Twitter on the very same day the film's original star, Kym Karath, bashed Underwood for her acting chops. Karath played Greti von Trapp in the 1965 musical film "The Sound of Music." "Plain and simple: Mean people need Jesus," 30-year-old Underwood wrote via Twitter on Friday, Dec. 6. "They will be in my prayers tonight...1 Peter 2:1-25." The Bible scripture Underwood cites states to "rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind." Underwood responded to "mean people" just hours after the Internet exploded with some harsh words about the show. Karath was one of many to comment about the live event, and slammed the singer for landing the role of Julie Andrews' Maria von Trapp. At the time, Karath was watching the three-hour program with former costars Charmian Carr (Liesl von Trapp) and Angela Cartwright (Brigitta von Trapp.) "Mystified & disappointed so far by SOM special," Karath tweeted during the live performance on Thursday. "So far only happy with Stephen Moyer." ("True Blood" star Moyer played Christopher Plummer's Captain von Trapp.) "Must admit some scenes are actually painful to watch." She added: "Love Carrie Underwood but this role is just not right for her. She is lovely her voice is beautiful but acting is wrong." Despite snarky tweets from viewers, Underwood shared her excitement for how well the production went shortly after the curtain closed. "Glory to God tonight...I couldn't be more proud," she tweeted. "What a tough thing to pull off and we did it! I am so blessed!!!" "Sound of Music Live!" ultimately pulled in 18.47 million viewers for NBC.

What about gay male romantic relationships versus straight romantic relationships. I know the stereotype on DL is that the lesbians are always in some kind of drama or that straight men get emasculated in their relationships, but what about gay men. Maybe I'm hanging around the wrong people but all of my friends' relationships are nonstop drama. My relationships always end badly and over the craziest shit. Fighting, snipping, cheating, hair pulling, it's awful. What are your thoughts.
Everyone has one, even Adam Levine (and Andrew Sullivan). I am amazed they are in fashion: I like well trimmed beards, but these look awful

What goes behind the scenes in the Oscar season: [quote]Courting members of the press and critics who vote in pre-Oscar contests has long been standard practice because studios know that winning Academy Awards can bring big financial rewards. A film which collects Oscar trophies, or even just nominations, can expect a healthy bump in box office revenues. Of course, an Academy Award is also sought because of the prestige it brings. But the pursuit of winning Oscars has now become so intense, at times frantic, that it has reduced all the participants who are part of this annual frenzy – from journalists like me to big name stars – to pawns in a rather strange game.

Seriously, what is going on with the DL admin people?
I'm 50 years old, and pretty alarmed at how many young guys I know who have sero-converted. Condom use has not caught on with the guys who weren't around to experience the big 1983-1996 AIDS die off. I'm figuring that the population who may benefit from a drug like this may often be in less than perfect health to start with, and if one can't use a damned condom, how likely is one to faithfully stay on a drug regimen? What might be the long-term effects? I was initially horrified to think anyone would take a potent HIV drug while perfectly healthy, and risk the side effects (and feeding into Big Pharma's profit scheme), just so they can continue barebacking.....but what if that's just my prejudice? What if ultimately it saves lives?

I ordered it from Time-Life and it came last week. Great to revisit. Brian Wimmer (Boonie) always seemed a little gay. Season One is a bit light on the war and heavy on ploys like USO auditions (oh, Chloe Webb!)and Cherry looking for her brother. Season Two ramps up the darkness and makes it a better show. Marg Helgenberger was never a gorgeous beauty, she had a hard look (did she on "Ryan's Hope" as well?) but she looks better on "Beach" before the surgery. And Tim Ryan who palyed Natch (McMurphy's squeeze in Season One) was hot but he's vanished.

Over the weekend, Barron Hilton — brother to Paris and Nicky, son of a hotel — got his ass kicked at a mansion in Miami allegedly at the behest of Lindsay Lohan. What a fantastic news story. According to the Hiltons, Barron and Lindsay were at a party for rich and gross people on Friday night when Lohan — who has miraculously managed to stay out of trouble since leaving rehab in August — overheard the boy Hilton trashing her. Later in the night, Barron was attacked by an unknown man in what the Hiltons say was retaliation ordered by Lohan. Though it now appears to be deleted, Paris issued a not-so-vague threat on Instagram (how the world turns!) regarding the attack, per the NY Daily News: "They both will pay for what they did. No one fucks with my family and gets away with it!!" Nicky Hilton also seemed to be alluding to the incident on Twitter, though I can't parse the tweets at all. Maybe you can do better. Or maybe not, whatever. Barron filed a police report after the incident, saying that Lohan egged on the attacker as he beat him up. Lohan's reps deny this, which I am and choosing to ignore as you also should. The feud between the Hiltons and Lohan dates all the way back to 2006 when an oily human named Brandon Davis called Lohan a "firecrotch" to paparazzi. Amazingly, neither side has quite yet figured out a way to milk television money out of this. But let's give them some more time.

When you smoked, what were your preferred brands and why? For me it was Parliament non-menthols in high school and part of college, then Marlboro reds (shorts in the box) for a time, then a college friend smoked Benson & Hedges Menthol 100s and I was forever bumming so I started buying and smoking these cigs to pay her back. Then after college I went back to Marlboro reds (this time longs in the box) and finally I switched to Carlton 100s in the box. I smoked Carltons for over ten years and I was smoking this brand when I quit four years ago. At the time I switched to Carlton, they were the lowest tar and nicotine. I know, so what -- low tar makes no difference from a health standpoint. I don't want to pick up this expensive habit again, but in some small way I miss the ritual of smoking.
There is an interesting article in the New Yorker (linked from a Daily Fail article, I know) about a sales clerk in a luxury mall in the US getting depressed being in contact with wealthy customers. The little time I worked in sales my favourite customers were those who had saved a long time to treat themselves to something wonderful. You could tell they weren't the type to max out their credit and how truly exciting it was for them. I would give them the most sumptuous wrapping and extra samples and freebies. With wealthy customers, I got all kinds, blasé, cheap, difficult, friendly and unassuming. I never felt depressed about it, but then again it was a short stint. The New Yorker article has interesting comments.

Stars Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dan Aykroyd.... I'm really surprised at how much casual nudity is in this movie. I don't really remember this movie (it was about the time I went to college), but it stars a lot of recognizable faces and big names... and so much skin. Very casual. And it made me realize that women showed boobs a lot more casually in mainstream movies in the 70s and 80s... I mean, this is billed as a John Landis comedy. There was even gratuitous beefcake.

Dang. The Orwellian doublespeak they keep coming up with is staggering. I hope some of his teabagging nitwit followers are among the 1.3 million. Extending federal unemployment benefits would actually be a “disservice” to the millions of out-of-work Americans who receive them, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday. "I do support unemployment benefits for the 26 weeks that they're paid for. If you extend it beyond that, you do a disservice to these workers," the popular Tea Party Republican said on “Fox News Sunday." "When you allow people to be on unemployment insurance for 99 weeks, you're causing them to become part of this perpetual unemployed group in our economy," Paul added. Paul’s comments come in response to efforts by congressional Democrats to extend the benefits as part of a year-end budget deal, but most Republicans have rejected the package due to the estimated $25 billion price tag. About 1.3 million jobless Americans are slated to lose their federal benefits at the end of the year if Congress doesn’t renew the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program that provides a federal safety net to the long-term jobless whose state benefits have expired.

My office has less than half capacity today because of the snowstorm, and it's just so quiet and relaxing. All of the more irritating co-workers called in this morning, and the fraus announced yesterday that they would not be coming in today, before the snow even started. They were standing in front of the windows beginning at 1pm yesterday, in the vain hope it would start snowing early so they could cut out and get a day and a half off. Anyway, I wish the office could be like this all the time. No bullshit, just getting our work done with no interruptions in a relaxed environment. God, it's nice without the douchebag VP's (I'm a VP but not a douchebag. It's just me, a cool straight guy and a VERY cool lesbian as far as senior staff goes today) and the fraus.

Tom Daley was pictured with a UK male stripper name Johnson, 6 months prior to him coming out this past week. And still follows the stripper on Instagram. Maybe Tom is not as innocent as he would have us to believe I think he is a little freak that plays naive and innocent for the cameras, but behind closed doors he's a big freak that gets it INNNNN ! I'm sure he watched Dustin Lance Black's porn and then met him and gave him his number because he wanted to experience him sexually for himself.

Starring Miss Swann (Alex Borstein)... Set in a geriatric extended care wing of a down-at-the-heels hospital, Getting On follows put-upon nurses, anxious doctors and administrators as they struggle with the darkly comic, brutally honest and quietly compassionate realities of caring for the elderly. Anyone watch? Thoughts? It's yet another American version of a BBC show.

Today in a bakery, I was in line and because I was taught not to crowd people or especially to reach over someone, particularly an older lady, I allowed 2 feet between the two of us. When she was finished paying for a hot cup of coffee, I gave her plenty of room to put her card back in her wallet and zip her coat and prepare to go outside. Well, the cashier instantly began yelling NEXT NEXT… and motioning for me to reach over the woman who couldnt see me behind her, had hot coffee and was trying to load up. I refused. I stood there and said softly, "just amoment, when she gets finished." The cashier FROZE and gave me this evil stare… the woman turned around and looked at me like I had called her the c-word, she began franticlly stuffing things in her bag and rushed off looking over her should at me like she wanted to scream ASSHOLE. Of course, the worst thing possible in NYC is to make someone wait. I guess my politeness hit a nerve with that old hag.

Anybody else watching this at US pace? It's an amazing French series about various people who've died at various points in time who suddenly reappear with no explanation. The acting is uniformly wonderful and the young man who plays Simon is exceptionally beautiful.

What I mean is, I have yet to meet a straight man who lusts after a butch lesbian or a straight chick who finds a flaming gay man hot. That is because they are opposite sex attracted. Does it not make perfect sense that a same sex attracted individual would not find someone who looks and acts like the opposite sex attractive? If I was attracted to masculine buzz cut women, I would be straight!

It’s that time of year again when you get annoyed by the sight of bell-ringers representing an organization that hates you. Yes, it’s the annual appearance of the Salvation Army, and they’re hoping to trick you into thinking that they’ve turned over a new leaf. Well, they haven’t. The S.A. has a page on their site right now called “Debunking the Myth of LGBT Discrimination,” which is all about how awesome they are and always have been to gays. “The Salvation Army believes that all people are equal, regardless of sexual orientation or any other factor, including race, gender and ethnicity,” the page says. They point out that they serve, hire, and happily accept money from LGBT people. Yeah, that’s great. Here are some facts that they conveniently omit: **It says right on their site: “Marriage is by definition heterosexual in nature. Scripture speaks only of marriage between a man and a woman and allows no same-sex unions that involve sexual intercourse.” **Also: “Scripture forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex. The Salvation Army believes, therefore, that Christians whose sexual orientation is primarily or exclusively same-sex are called upon to embrace celibacy as a way of life. There is no scriptural support for same-sex unions as equal to, or as an alternative to, heterosexual marriage.” **The Salvation Army refused to provide health benefits to domestic partners, explaining, “we now confirm adherence to biblical principles concerning marriage and the family.” **The organization refers people to abusive ex-gay ministries. **The Southern and Central regions exclude LGBTs from their nondiscrimination policies. **They threatened to pull out of New York rather than offer benefits to LGBT employees. So if you’re wondering whether it’s okay to support the Salvation Army, let us make it clear for you: [bold]IT IS NEVER OKAY TO SUPPORT THE SALVATION ARMY.[/bold] There are plenty of other organizations that need your money. Our website has a list.

Posey, Pence, Ellsbury among 81 striking deals Associated Press - 5 hrs ago NEW YORK (AP) — NL MVP Buster Posey agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants, teammate Hunter Pence got a $13.8 million deal and Jacoby Ellsbury settled with the Boston Red Sox for $9 million on a busy Friday as players and teams swapped figures in salary arbitration. Eighty-one players reached agreements, leaving just 36 headed toward arbitration hearings next month in Phoenix. San Diego third baseman Chase Headley had the largest request and the biggest spread, asking for $10.3 million while the Padres offered $7,075,000. Boston reliever Craig Breslow had the slimmest gap. He sought $2,375,000 — that was $50,000 more than the Red Sox offered.

As the saying goes, “everything’s bigger in Texas,” and that certainly could apply to the level of kook-driven bigotry that seems to be teeming from the Lone Star state as of late. Just last month we told you about a charming group known as the Young Conservatives of Texas at the University of Texas that tried promoting a game called ”Catch an Illegal Immigrant” on Facebook, and of course Representative Louie Gohmert has a long history of mind-numbingly stupid and bigoted remarks. Now the people of Texas have someone else to be proud of. Larry SECEDE Kilgore (he legally changed his middle name from Scott to SECEDE in 2012) is running for Governor. Kilgore proudly calls himself a “Christian,” and has advocated for the death penalty for adulterers and women that have had abortions. He might be best known for his extreme anti-gay stances, and for making up words like “transvestism”: “Public use of vulgar sexual language would result in flogging. … Judges will flog more severely those convicted of transvestism.” In an interview with Lone Star Q on Monday, however, Kilgore has admitted that he’s willing to roll up his sleeves and work side-by-side with the homos in order to capture the ultimate prize - secession; “The only position I have is secession. I am a Christian, and I have lots of Christian beliefs. However, I am trying to build a coalition of all different types of people. I look at the lesbians and the homosexual folks and I say, ‘Hey, D.C. is stealing my money just like they’re stealing your money.’ After we get our freedom, then we can decide all that stuff — hopefully at a county level. Right now, lesbians and homosexuals and Christians may have differences with each other, but we’ve got a bigger enemy.” The Everlasting GOP Stoppers tracked down this video of Kilgore at a good-old boy rally ranting about how he “hates the U.S. flag,” and espousing the virtues of secession back in 2009. Hey, at least he’s consistent. Frankly, I’d love to see Texas try to go it on their own.

Michael Griffin worked at the Holy Ghost Preparatory School for 12 years teaching French and Italian. He said that although administrators, including the principal, knew he was gay, he never had any major conflict with the Catholic administrators until Friday. Griffin said he was fired on Friday after he had emailed administrators to tell them he was going to file for a marriage license and would be slightly late to work. Griffin said the school administrators told him that the email sent on the school email server made his relationship public and therefore they had to fire him if he decided to go through with the marriage. In a statement sent to ABC News from McCloskey and Holy Ghost Preparatory School, the school president said Griffin was fired for violating the terms of his contract by deciding to marry a partner of the same sex. "Unfortunately, this decision contradicts the terms of his teaching contract at our school, which requires all faculty and staff to follow the teachings of the Church as a condition of their employment," McCloskey said in the statement. "In discussion with Mr. Griffin, he acknowledged that he was aware of this provision, yet he said that he intended to go ahead with the ceremony. Regretfully, we informed Mr. Griffin that we have no choice but to terminate his contract effective immediately."

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

LANSING, Mich. — A Michigan member of the Republican National Committee said last week that gays want free healthcare because they are dying of AIDS. Dave Agema made the comments against people living with HIV and the LGBT communities while speaking Dec. 5 at the Berrien County Republican Party Holiday Reception, according to Equality Michigan, a statewide LGBT advocacy group. While speaking against marriage equality, Agema said that during his time with American Airlines he witnessed LGBT workers claiming a person living with AIDS as their partner simply so that person could get medical benefits. “Folks, they (gay people) want free medical because they’re dying (when they’re) between 30 and 44 years old,” he said. “To me, it’s a moral issue. It’s a Biblical issue. Traditional marriage is where it should be and it’s in our platform. Those in our party who oppose traditional marriage are wrong,” said Agema. Equality Michigan has called on Republican leadership to denounce Agema’s remarks and is seeking his removal as a committeemember of the Republican Party. The organization is also encouraging the healthcare community to correct Agema’s remarks, saying they perpetuate a harmful stigma about people living with HIV. “It is unconscionable that in 2013 a political figure in a prominent position would feel so comfortable spewing lies about real people in a pathetic attempt to deny fundamental rights to families in Michigan,” said Emily Dievendorf, Managing Director of Equality Michigan. “The HIV crisis should not be used to scare and divide Michiganders when our only route to overcoming the crisis is to eliminate the stigma surrounding HIV by having more frequent and accurate conversations about public health,” she said. Earlier this year, Agema came under fire from members of his own party after he posted an excerpt on Facebook from an article titled “Everyone Should Know These Statistics On Homosexuals.” Among the claims in the article by Dr. Frank Joseph is that gay people “account for half the murders in large cities” and that “part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle.” The article, which cites studies from the 1980s for many of its claims, also attributes high medical insurance rates to caring for AIDS patients.

The Divine Miss M. is taking on the great Mae West. HBO Films has put in development Mae West, a movie about the true Hollywood original, with Bette Midler attached to star and executive produce. The project is the brainchild of William Friedkin (The Exorcist), who will direct and executive produce. Broadway heavyweight Harvey Fierstein, who recently penned the book for Tony-winning musical Kinky Boots, is writing the script. Also executive producing is Jerry Weintraub, who executive produced HBO Films’ Emmy-winning Behind The Candelabra. Mae West, based on West’s autobiography Goodness Had Nothing To Do With It, chronicles West’s rise friedkinto stardom when she takes New York by storm after writing and starring in her scandalous Broadway show Sex and battles authorities over obscenity charges. Instead of taking the road of a wide-eyed Hollywood ingenue, West forged her own path, writing and starring in her own risqué plays, including her breakthrough Sex, which had her prosecuted and sentenced to 10 days in prison for “corrupting the morals of youth.” The notoriety fueled her career and didn’t stop her from tackling taboo subjects in her next plays, including 1928 hit Diamond Lil, about a racy 1890s woman, which opened the doors to Hollywood for her. GoodnessHasNothingToDoWithIt_bookWest was a late arrival, signing her first movie deal with Paramount at 39, but went on to make a string of hits, becoming one of the highest-grossing stars of the 1930s while still finding ways to push the envelope and keeping studio censors busy. Midler’s career path resembles that of West — she too made a name for herself onstage in New York (she made her Broadway debut in the chorus of Fiddler On The Roof) before segueing to features in her 30s for a successful movie career, which has earned her two Oscar nominations. Midler just started a three-week engagement at the Geffen Playhouse of I’ll Eat You Last after a successful Broadway run. Midler has been earning strong reviews for her portrayal of larger-than-life Hollywood agent Sue Mengers in the one-person play written by John Logan and directed by Joe Mantello.

It can't be healthy for them. Christian Bale has done it multiple times. He became very muscular for American Psycho; then lost all his muscle mass and 60+ pounds for The Machinist; then gained back all his muscle mass and then some for Batman Begins; then became skeletal and gaunt for The Fighter; then gained all his muscle back yet again for The Dark Knight Rises. Now he's put on an extra fifty pounds for American Hustle. Isn't this incredibly physically dangerous to keep doing? The strain on his heart must be immense.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Two prominent U.S. and British anti-gay activists attended a conference in Jamaica over the weekend to urge their counterparts and the Jamaican government to retain that country’s colonial era law banning homosexual activity. The conference, organized by the Jamaican Coalition for a Healthy Society and the Christian Lawyers’ Association, was aimed at developing strategies to lobby against a proposed repeal of the anti-gay law. Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller, who said prior to her election in December 2011 that “no one should be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation,” has suggested that repealing the anti-gay law might come before the nation’s Houses of Parliament, but her government has yet to take any action. Jamaica has been described by some human rights groups as the most homophobic place on Earth because of the high level of violent crime directed at LGBT people. The U.S. Department of State said that in 2012, “homophobia was widespread in the country.” On Saturday, Peter LaBarbera, founder of the Naperville, Ill.-based group, Americans for the Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), warned conference attendees not to “sit idly by as so-called ‘LGBT activists’ manipulate words and laws to achieve dominance in your country.” LaBarbera reiterated the anti-gay propaganda that has formed the basis of his group’s message: “Homosexuals are made, they’re not born.” “The dirty little secret that the media and homosexual activists are desperate — desperate — to squelch is that people are coming out of homosexuality every day,” said LaBarbera. “This is the work of God, this is the work of Jesus,” he added, referring to so-called gay-to-straight conversation therapy endorsed by his group. LaBarbera, whose AFTAH organization has been labeled an anti-gay “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), also told the conference audience that he was working on a book on the connection between “homosexual activism and pedophiles.” He said that after winning rights like marriage and protection for gay kids in schools, “homosexual” activists were now championing the rights of MAPS, or “minor-attracted persons.” Also attending the conference was Andrea M. Williams, founder of U.K.-based Christian Concern, who — citing last week’s announcement by British Olympian Tom Daley that he was dating a man — said gay people are not born with same-sex attraction, that it is often “caused” by “the lack of the father,” and “sometimes a level of abuse,” suggesting a link between Daley’s father’s death and his same-sex attraction. “He [Daley] was loved by all the girls and had girlfriends, until he lost his father to cancer just a few years ago and he’s just come out on YouTube that he’s in a relationship with a man, that man is 39, a leading gay activist in the States,” she said. Williams urged Jamaicans to turn down aid from countries such as the U.S. and those in Europe who support LGBT rights. “Might it be that Jamaica says to the United States of America, says to Europe, ‘Enough! You cannot come in and attack our families. We will not accept aid or promotion tied to an agenda that is against God and destroys our families… If you win here, you will have an impact in the Caribbean and an impact across the globe.” Jamaican Justice Minister Mark Golding told conference attendees that he hoped to raise the issue of maintaining the ban as part of a broader review of the Jamaica’s sexual offenses law. LaBarbera isn’t the only American spreading the anti-LGBT message overseas. “As American groups opposed to LGBT rights are increasingly finding American audiences less receptive to their message, they are moving instead to spread their noxious propaganda overseas,” said Heidi Beirich, who heads the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.

A British pop superstar and Kim Kardashian's gorgeous half-sister walk into a gay bar . . . It sounds like the beginning of a tired old joke, but in this case, it's for real: This past Saturday, Dec. 7, Harry Styles took new girlfriend Kendall Jenner to Therapy, a popular gay bar in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen nabe, a source confirms exclusively to Us Weekly. The same day that the One Direction singer, 19, and model/reality star, 18, were spotting leaving the Ganservoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District together, the pair resurfaced at Therapy with a few other pals, and "didn't make a huge deal about it," the source tells Us. Saturday's theme at Therapy was "Gays Gone Wild," with other bargoers dancing up a storm to pop hits. Alas, Styles, Jenner et al, however, didn't hit the dance floor, the source notes. And the crooner isn't new to Therapy, either. "Harry has actually been her a few times before," the source explains of the fairly low-key hangout. "He's just a regular customer when he comes in -- he gets a table and usually drinks beer and cocktail on the side," adds the source of Styles, who was dating Taylor Swift around this time last year. As it happens, Styles "walked out when they played 'What Makes You Beautiful,'" as other patrons finally began recognizing the celebrities in their midst, the source said. "He was holding Kendall's hand." Although the pair have denied any romance, the evidence suggests otherwise: Five days after a news-making dinner date in L.A., Styles was spotted leaving the Malibu home of Kendall's father Bruce Jenner at 9:30 a.m., and the pair reconnected hours later for lunch at Soho House in West Hollywood, with Styles picking up the check. "They definitely plan to hang out more," another insider told Us.
I was at the gym today and "Another One Bites the Dust" and We Will Rock You" played back to back.

So my question is: How big was "Queen" here in the states and was it well-known that Mercury was gay? BTW, what a voice.

The activist group Mercy for Animals recently published awful video taken from inside the Wiese Brothers Farm of Greenleaf, Wisconsin—a 2,500-cow farm and a major cheese supplier for Nestlé's DiGiorno Pizza, the country's largest frozen-pizza distributor. In the video, farmhands are shown kicking, dragging, stabbing, and screaming cusses at ill milk-producing cows. Cows that are too sick to walk are pulled by ropes around the neck or limbs, attached to backhoes. Ulcers and infected open wounds appear common. "Dragging live cows, and completely suspending them with the cow lift is severe animal abuse," animal behavior expert and livestock industry consultant Temple Grandin told Mercy for Animals. "The actions of these people went beyond rough handling and escalated to the level of cruelty. Kicking, beating, and hard whipping of downed cows is abusive." Commercial farm abuses like these aren't uncommon. But the sheer brutality of the abuses shown in videos like this one is enough to put many consumers off their appetites. Videos of the abuses are getting rarer, though, owing to a new flurry state-level "ag-gag" laws to ban agricultural photography. That's a shame, because the videos also get results: DiGiorno announced this morning that it was dropping Wiese Brothers as a supplier. "Nestlé is outraged and deeply saddened by the mistreatment of animals shown in this video," Deborah Cross, a company spokeswoman, told NBC, adding that "we will not accept any cheese made with milk from the Wiese Brothers Farm." The farm's owners told NBC that they, too, were "shocked and saddened" by the footage and had fired several employees in connection with the abuse. Gawker was curious, though, if there are any other long-term consequences for a farm where these incidents take place, so we called the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin, a trade group that boasts the Wiese Brothers Farm as a member. "As busy as any producer is, whenever you have an organization that is looking out for your best interests, like PDPW is, it is a good thing," one of the Wiese brothers said of the trade group back in 2010.

A lot of people carp about "My Favorite Things" from THE SOUND OF MUSIC being appropriated as Christmas music but at least some of the lyrics evoke images of winter. And rattling off long lists of things we love is common in our consumer-driven culture. But when did "Over The Rainbow" become a Christmas song? I've seen this one popping up on more and more Christmas albums and holiday playlists. Doesn't sound Christmas-y to me at all. Are artists just desperate for another "new" song to record at the holidays?

I've owned three sofas in my life and they have all worn out in a couple of years. They weren't supportive and were uncomfortable to sleep on. Look on Craigslist for sofas and you'll find a bunch of droopy misshapen cushions and wear and tear. Sofas just look bad after a few months. Is there something out there that's worth looking at? Anyone here know furniture who can lead me in e right direction? And yes, my sofas have been designer brands ($2000 and up in price) and no, I am not fat. Thanks in advance.

Openly gay filmmaker Lee Daniels recently discussed his belief that gay men in the black community just "can't come out." The "Butler" director sat down with Larry King for an interview on "Larry King Now" and discussed when he first knew he was gay. He was just 5 years old when he knew "something wasn't right" after walking downstairs during his dad's poker game wearing his moms red pumps. His father, he said, beat him severely for the act. Daniels went on to discuss homophobia in the black community overall. "I think that [gays] are prejudiced upon even by the African-Americans, too," Daniels explained. He provided an anecdote about when he went to the Gay Men's Health Crisis center in New York City while doing research for his 2009 movie "Precious." He said he was shocked to see all black woman at the center: They [the center] service black women with AIDS. Why? Because black men can't come out. Why? Because simply you can't do it. Your family says it, your church says it, your teachers say it, your parents say it, your friends say it, your work says it. So you're living on this 'DL' thing and you're infecting black women. So it's killing us. I think that because the black culture and the Hispanic culture have a thing about this. Daniels, a Philadelphia native, has discussed being a gay black man before. In an interview with The Huffington Post last year, he said that gay people are "third-class citizens." "We are nothing to many people, especially in the African-American community," he said. "We are told, especially as black men, that we have to live up to certain expectations. The churches say it's not good. Our neighbors say it's not good. Our friends and family say it's not good. I am living in my truth, and I demand that in cinema, too." Daniels' honesty has led to people like BET's Keith Boykin commending him for breaking down barriers and challenging "the persistent meme of our community's homophobia."

I kind of experienced this this morning. I'm pretty attracted to the new-ish security guard in my company's lobby. He's really cute and I can tell he works out. We chat from time to time, and I am definitely flirty with him, which I can't imagine is lost on him. I know this sounds totally cliche and somewhat MARY, but when we're talking it's like time stands still and we're the only two people in the world. I get totally lost in his gorgeous smile and hearty laugh, and don't even hear the words coming out of his mouth. In my dreams, the attraction has been two-way, though I know intellectually that's not the case. But it's sure been nice to think about. Anyway, this afternoon as I came back from grabbing some lunch, I was going to stop and chat with him briefly. When I entered the lobby, however, I saw him talking to some chick who works on the floor above me. She's your typical stupid, slutty admin type...you know the sort...dumb as a box of hair, always advertising her looks with exposed cleavage and short skirts, and those stupid 10-inch hooker heels. She was totally flirting with him, throwing her tits and pussy in his face, and he was just totally eating it up. I awkwardly said hi to him, but he didn't even acknowledge me. Didn't even toss me a glace, he was so caught up in her. Again, I know he's 99% straight and into pussy, but there was that part of me that hoped that 1% would come out and want to have sex with me. It was just totally soul crushing, and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm really hurt, though I know I shouldn't be. ugh, why am I always attracted to the straight ones, and why does it hurt so much when my fantasies are deflated and reality hits like a ton of bricks? ugh, just ugh.
I agree they're sexy - I've been into them since I was, oh, a teen (lots of sticky issues of International Male and Undergear). But what exactly is it about them - cumgutters too - that's so sexy? Is it just a matter of the arrangement of shapes? Or does a great set of abs mean something to our subconscious?

Ronaldo was attending the official launch of his new underwear range, CR7, and anyone wondering what his debut collection looks like didn’t have to look too far - a 19-metre tall campaign image featuring the chiseled winger in all his glory was suspended above in the landmark building’s renaissance courtyard. Meanwhile the man in question, never shy about coming forward, was clearly delighted as he posed for photos between its legs. ‘I am very proud to officially launch CR7 today and especially to see my campaign image displayed in this beautiful building, one of the most famous landmarks in Madrid,’ he said.‘I put a lot of passion and dedication into creating this new underwear line and I am delighted to finally launch it globally today. ‘ Ronaldo has previously modelled for Armani Jeans, but his latest campaign marks an inaugural brand venture and his first attempt at fashion designing. His design debut was aided by Richard Chai – best known for his collaborations with Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen.‘Fashion and design are two passions of mine and I have wanted to launch my own brand for a long time. Working on this collection alongside Richard has given me a great creative outlet and I have loved every part of collaborating on the range, from selecting the colours and designs to testing the styles and fits myself,’ he said. ‘I am very proud that the collection is launching worldwide today.’ Ronaldo's new underwear range will be available to buy via www.cr7underwear.com from November 1.

It looks like George Zimmerman may get off Scot-free yet again after his girlfriend reversed course on her decision to press charges against him for allegedly trashing her house and waving a gun in her face. Newly obtained court documents show that Samantha Scheibe, 27, has demanded that Zimmerman's charges and his no-contact order be dropped, effective immediately. "When I was being questioned by police I felt very intimidated," Scheibe said in a sworn statement dated December 6. "I believe that the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to police." Scheibe goes on to claim that Zimmerman "never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner," and insisted she "want[s] to be with George." cording to the Orlando Sentinel and … Read… Scheibe's affidavit flies in the face of what she told a 911 dispatcher during the November 18 incident. "I need police right now," she exclaimed during the taped phone call. "He's in my house breaking all my shit because I asked him to leave. He's got a freaking gun, breaking all my stuff right now." Zimmerman was subsequently arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor battery, and misdemeanor criminal mischief. He was released on his own recognizance after paying a $9,000 bond. A search warrant released the following week showed that Zimmerman was packing a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 assault rifle, three handguns, and over 100 rounds of ammunition when he visited Scheibe's house.

Today is my 97th birthday. I am a lucky man. I've been married to my wife, Anne, for 60 years and she continues to captivate me. When you get to be 97, you can reflect on the lessons you've learned in almost a century of life. Mark Twain said, "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." I won't pretend that getting older is easy. But I find that it's given me a perspective that I lacked when I was younger. I was always running everywhere -- from meetings to movie sets, from shooting films all around the world to serving as a goodwill ambassador for the State Department in over forty countries. Staying still was something I did not do well. Now, I treasure the quiet times: reading books that make me think about new ideas; watching my roses bloom; gazing at the palm trees shimmering against the afternoon sky; seeing the simple path of a cloud across the sky; and especially sitting with Anne in front of the fire at sunset -- the Golden Hour. So I asked myself, what do I want for my birthday? There's nothing I need, other than good health for my wife and my family. Suddenly it occurred to me that I knew exactly what I wanted -- a better world for my grandchildren. But have you ever tried to put 97 candles on a cake? You can't. So I put 10 candles to represent the 10 decades of my life. Here are my birthday wishes: *A world where weapons, big and small, are symbols of weakness, not strength *A world where religion informs values, not governments *A world where the air is breathable, the water drinkable and the food is healthy and plentiful *A world where poor people are the smallest percentage of the population *A world where education and health care are available to everyone *A world where prejudice based on race, religion and nationality is non-existent *A world where smoking tobacco is considered a ridiculous practice from a bygone era *A world where all diseases are curable and physical pain is no longer a part of life *A world where we control technology, not the other way around *A world where greed is never considered good Excuse me -- I have a lot of candles to blow out.

ROME — The full impact of Pope Francis' unexpected rise from little-known cardinal to heralded pontiff was hammered home Sunday, as a crushing capacity crowd jammed St. Peter's Square for a 10-minute prayer. "I'm pleased to greet you on Sunday, which is fitting as it is the day of the Lord," said Francis in Italian from the window of his papal apartment. Below him roared an estimated crowd of 150,000, filling the square as well as neighboring streets. Francis' first public appearance since being elected last week helped kick the new pontificate into gear. Among the Buenos Aires native's upcoming events is a meeting Monday with Argentine president Cristina Fernández, whom the conservative pope has criticized for her liberal stance on contraception and gay marriage. Tuesday morning is Francis' installation Mass, which will be attended by world leaders including Vice President Biden, who is Catholic. But perhaps the most-watched encounter will take place Saturday. That's when the pope is scheduled to travel to Castel Gandolfo outside Rome to meet with pope-emeritus Benedict, whose shocking resignation last month set last week's unexpected conclave in motion. It remains unclear how quickly Pope Francis will move to tackle some of the Catholic Church's tough problems, from financial scandals to social issues. But what's clear is that, much like an incoming American president riding a wave of good feeling, he has the momentum of public support. Pope Francis issued his first tweet Sunday on the papal Twitter account, @pontifex, saying "Dear friends, I thank you from my heart and I ask you to continue to pray for me. Pope Francis." The account, which posts in nine languages and has 3.5 million followers, came back to life Wednesday after Francis was elected. Before ending his brief appearance Sunday by saying the Hail Mary in Latin, the pope told the parable of an adulterous woman who isn't turned away by Jesus. "God always has patience," he said in Italian. "We can always go back with a contrite heart." Although she couldn't understand the content of his talk, the emotion of the moment got to Lucy Fanning of Pennington, N.J. "This is ..." she said before fanning her face with her hand. "I'm not even Catholic, I'm Protestant, but this is messing me up a bit," Fanning said, as her husband, Joe, a Catholic, smiled. The couple is escorting a group of private-school Latin students around Italy. "You can tell this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing," said Casey McGovern, 16, explaining the group's decision to brave the huge crowds only to get as far as a quarter-mile from St. Peter's. "It's his first address as pope to the people. You have to be here." None Crowds gather in St. Peter's Square before the Angelus with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Sunday.(Photo: Alessandra Tarantino, AP) Countless other Romans agreed, choking the streets around the Vatican with baby carriages, dogs and bicycles as police officers struggled to keep order. A half-hour before the pope's "Angelus," or public prayer, frantic faithful tried to make their way to the massive piazza in front of the basilica. One man yelled out at a well-dressed carabiniere officer, asking the best way to see the pope. "On TV," came the clipped reply. Earlier Sunday morning, Pope Francis said Mass at the Church of St. Anna, which is reserved for employees of the Vatican and sits just inside its imposing walls. Wearing the purple vestments of the liturgical season of Lent, Francis was at his disarming best, at one point urging parishioners to applaud a man who worked with street kids in Uruguay, whom he invited to greet him near the altar. "Pray for him," the pope intoned. "I don't know how he got here (to Rome), but I'll find out." After Mass concluded, the pope stood just outside the small church's front doors greeting every exiting parishioner as onlookers, held beyond barricades, chanted "Francesco, Francesco, Francesco Most of the churchgoers kissed his left hand; many did so speechless and with tears in their eyes. Others clearly knew the pope from his recent incarnation as Cardinal Jose Mario Bergoglio, and with them he smiled and chatted amiably as if at a party. Not so relaxed were the pope's black-suited private security detail. As the pontiff made to leave, he unexpectedly walked over to the cheering masses behind the barricades to shake hands and kiss babies. Such interactions recall the papacy of John Paul II, who especially early in his tenure took particular pleasure interacting with his flock. A 1981 assassination attempt in the middle of St. Peter's Square changed things overnight, and gave rise to the often joked-about, bulletproof-glass-shrouded Popemobile. During the height of Sunday's frenzy, the look on the security officers' faces was one of both deep concern as well as resignation. Clearly, this pope's populist nature will not be held back, and they will have to adjust in kind.
I know there is a thread on this, but this is a better subject title. After being fired herself, Erica Hill went around shopping for a new job at the various networks.

CHICKAMAUGA, Ga. (AP) — The last walk that Ronald Westbrook took began as early as 1 a.m. when he slipped unnoticed from his North Georgia home with his two dogs. It ended three hours later when Westbrook, a 72-year-old who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, knocked in the dark on a stranger's door last month. Police said a man inside that home, 34-year-old Joe Hendrix, got a .40-caliber handgun, went outside to investigate and shot Westbrook in a horrible mistake. The unlikely collision between two strangers — one deeply confused, another perceiving a threat — illustrates both the difficulties that caregivers face in keeping loved ones with Alzheimer's safe and the consequences of miscalculation in a state that celebrates its gun culture. Westbrook's widow struggles to comprehend how she lost her husband of 51 years and discussed what happened in an interview in her house this week, sitting on her couch beside her Bible. "I can't imagine him feeling threatened by my husband, that's what surprises me," said Deanne Westbrook, 70. "Because Ron wasn't like that. He probably, I think he was so cold. He was looking for help when he was ringing that doorbell at their place. I think he just wanted somebody to help him." Hendrix declined to comment because of the ongoing investigation. His attorney, Lee Davis, described his client as distraught. The local district attorney has not yet decided whether to press criminal charges against Hendrix for what happened on Nov. 27. "He is not a gun-toting rights activist who's saying, 'Keep off my property,'" Davis said. "He's a man who thought he had to take action because of what he believed to be a real and imminent threat." A retired nurse who once cared for dementia patients in a nursing home, Westbrook's wife was perhaps better equipped than most to care for a spouse with Alzheimer's. The progressive disease results in memory loss, impairs judgment and can leave its victims disoriented. She installed door alarms to alert her if her husband tried wandering away. She was already making plans to get more advanced care at home as the disease progressed. "I don't feel angry," she said. "I just feel sad. I never would have thought he would've (come) to an end like this. I was prepared for the Alzheimer's to get worse and for me to take care of him here. And I was going to do it." Others can sympathize. Marylou Hable, who works for A Place for Mom, helping match families with care and living facilities, said she works with Alzheimer's patients and their families every day. Yet she still struggled when her husband's uncle came to live with them. She took all sorts of precautions to protect him, but one night he wandered out after midnight. She and her husband were exhausted and didn't hear the alarms. Alzheimer's patients often seize on a past memory, and the uncle was trying to find the streetcar to go home to Cleveland, Ohio, even though he had moved to Michigan. He was beaten up and robbed, but luckily police contacted Hable and her husband when he turned up in the hospital. "Here I am in the industry and I couldn't keep John safe," she said. An incident in mid-November may have set the stage for the fatal error. Shortly after Hendrix's fiancee moved into her new rental home, a man appeared at the door just before midnight on Nov. 19. He pounded on the door while Hendrix's fiancee was alone with two children, and he demanded to see someone whom Hendrix's fiancee did not know, Davis said. She called Hendrix, who was in nearby Chattanooga, Tenn., who told her to call 911. By the time sheriff's deputies and Hendrix arrived, the man was gone. Davis said what happened was documented in a police report. Afterward, Hendrix took a Glock handgun that he kept in his apartment and brought it to his fiancee's home. The following week, Deanne Westbrook woke up and noticed that her husband and the couple's two dogs were missing. Not long after, a police officer arrived to deliver the news, and the dogs were returned to her. For reasons that are not clear, Westbrook left his home and started walking. A deputy sheriff noticed him along a road around 2:20 a.m. and stopped to ask what he was doing, Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said. Westbrook told the officer that he was gathering mail and then planned to return to his home up a hill. While Westbrook's answers were curt, nothing about the conversation alarmed the deputy. Wilson said barking dogs woke up Hendrix and his fiancee in her home sometime before 4 a.m. Westbrook had walked to their house, the last in a cul-de-sac. He rang the doorbell, knocked on the door and tried the handle. In what may have been a startling move, Westbrook left the front of the home and moved out of view. The woman called 911, and Hendrix got his gun. While the woman was on the phone with a dispatcher, Westbrook returned to the door a second time, Wilson said. Hendrix left the house and found Westbrook outside in the dark. He told police that Westbrook ignored commands to stop, identify himself and raise his hands. The sheriff said Westbrook approached Hendrix, who fired four shots. "Obviously, in hindsight, it's very easy to say, 'Why didn't you stay inside? Why didn't you keep the door shut?'" Davis said. "But the reality is, how long are you supposed to wait until somebody comes through your door? And had the person come through his door with his fiancee there, then what would have happened?" Under Georgia law, people are not required to try retreating from a potential conflict before opening fire to defend themselves from serious imminent harm, said Russell Gabriel, director of the Criminal Defense Clinic at the University of Georgia. State law allows people to use lethal force to stop someone from forcibly entering a home if those inside reasonably fear they are going to be attacked. Deadly force can even be used to stop someone from trying to forcibly enter a home to commit a felony. "Different people have a different understanding of what is reasonable," Gabriel said. "Reasonableness is a classic jury question."
Alzheimer's Sufferer Fatally Shot After Knocking On Wrong Door
One of my favorite television shows ever. Very sophisticated, and very much predictive of the style of later TV shows--it was the first show to be called a "dramedy," it used only a single camera, and was a huge influence on later shows like Thirtysomething. Blair Brown was wonderful as the star, and was very beautiful. This was the haunting, moody intro. It really captures a vanished kind of Eighties glamor (yes, there was such a thing).
I just did.

These bitches seem rode hard and put away wet. Two of them have porn pasts, a few look strung out. They're much nastier and shallower than past seasons. Jade Jolie - there is some dark shit in that girl's past - probably molestation. I've been watching them in a straight shot, so to speak, so there is no fog of memory going on. The earlier seasons are fun, even uplifting and the girls were people you might want to know in real life - think Jujube, Manila, even Raja. Now they're a bunch of hard cases I would cross the street to avoid. I think I'll skip the rest of this season and just watch All Stars.

In a radio interview on Wednesday with conservative talker Laura Ingraham, Palin took dead aim at Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" initiative, which is all about getting children to "Just Say No". Here is a portion of the transcript: "Take her anti-drug thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families to deal with drug use." "And I know I'm going to be again criticized for bringing this up, but instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back and allow us as individuals to exercise our own God-given rights to make our own decisions and then our country gets back on the right track."

[bold]Taste Test: Popeyes Rip'n Chick'n. Who Thought This Was A Good Idea?[/bold] It began, one imagines, as a simple question, posed conspiratorially around a gleaming boardroom conference table in an upper floor of AFC Enterprises headquarters in Sandy Springs, Ga.: Why settle for chicken fingers, when you could have an entire horrifying rheumatoid chicken hand that you grimly rip apart like the antagonist of some grisly fucking torture-porn movie? Thusly was conceived the Rip'n Chick'n, the first and only mass-produced foodstuff that, should the need ever arise, could function as the business end of a sadly ineffective short-range grappling hook. How To Eat A Popeye's Biscuit: A Guide For People Seeking The Harmony Of The Universe Consider the Popeye's biscuit.Read… The cashier at your local Popeyes gives you a little huh, how 'bout that? smile when you order your Rip'n Chick'n, either because you are the first person to actually order a Rip'n Chick'n at that particular establishment, or because you are the first person to order a Rip'n Chick'n at that particular establishment who was not wearing a hospital gown and a thickly-wrapped head wound when doing so. Rip'n Chick'n is a ridiculous thing to say to anyone, particularly if, as a symptom of your vain and doomed sense of linguistic propriety, you unthinkingly honor those very deeply stupid and needless apostrophes. Rip'n Chick'n. Go ahead and say it. It is ridiculous. I'd like a Rip'n Chick'n, please. Somehow, it becomes marginally more natural-sounding if you swap out that please in favor of a vigorous motherfucker. I'd like a Rip'n Chick'n, motherfucker. That's better. I bet that's how you're supposed to say it. I bet they'll appreciate you doing it the right way. The Chick'n you will be Rip'n turns out not to look very much like the Chick'n in the advertisements: Its fingers are thicker, even gouty; they vary more dramatically in both length and girth. Most distressingly, they splay at odd angles, some curling around each other, others jutting out, clearly dislocated at the knuckle. There seem to be seven of them, although it's difficult to tell in some instances if you're counting two separate fingers, or one that has been bifurcated. You could almost—almost—imagine that a seven-fingered circus freak ran afoul of his bookie. Way afoul. Or, you could imagine that you are holding a deep-fried alien facehugger. Which, OK, sure. Complaining that your Rip'n Chick'n is less appetizing in appearance than the one you saw on TV is more than a little bit silly—Y'know, I really must say, when I ignited it, I really expected a much more pleasant-smelling dumpster fire—and anyway, if you were looking for a particularly photogenic foodstuff when you sauntered into your local Popeyes and uttered the, um, "words" Rip'n Chick'n, look, there's no nice way to put it, but you're a psychotic person. The Rip'n Chick'n's looks only matter (to the extent that anything related to a gimmicky octopoid fast-food chicken snack can be said to matter, which is to say, [throws smoke capsule at feet] [runs away]) in the context of how tasty the Rip'n Chick'n is to eat. Allow me to explain. (continued)

I think the majority of DLers would say intelligence, but in all honesty, I think most people are missing DISCIPLINE. It's kind of baffling to see how many people are incapable of sticking to any kind of routine or plan long enough to reach their goal--myself included. But it made me think just how far above the fray you can go with that one simple trait. Well, discipline and ambition. Those two seem far more important than intelligence or talent (unless by "intelligence" you mean craftiness or cunning).

I was actually asked by a straight woman why gay guys are "statistically", she put it that way, more attractive. I didn't have an answer. I somewhat agree with her. Yes, there are MANY ugly gay males. However, you have to admit that there are a majority of what is classified as the desired male beauty. I'm referring to facially, not body, mind you. I know that a lot of us take care of our skin, and what not, but that doesn't explain why many of us have symmetrical faces. This brings me to the next subject: gay face. Why do so many gay men have it? Is there a link between homosexuality and what we classify as "gay face"? Many gays have it. Surely, you can create this look if you pluck your eyebrows, and put lip gloss on, but most of us don't, and many of us still have "gay face". So, you may be wondering, what do these two subjects have to do with one another. Well, male beauty is usually defined by faces that have some feminine features. In fact, when polled, women chose men who had more feminine facial features as the ones who would be good fathers.

George Eads will take a leave of absence from the long-running drama after engaging in a heated exchange with one of the show's writers, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The actor, who has played Nick Stokes since the series premiered in 2000, will appear in the first three episodes of CSI's upcoming 14th season. Producer CBS Television Studios declined to reveal a date for his return but said he would be back later this season. "George Eads will not appear in several episodes during the first half of the season. We look forward to him returning to CSI very soon," a rep for CBS TV Studios said in a statement to THR. The actor signed on to return as a regular along with the rest of the cast when CBS renewed the series in March. His absence, sources say, is not considered an attempt to renegotiate his contract. Eads -- and co-star Jorja Fox -- were both briefly fired from CSI in 2004 after a short-lived salary standoff with the network and studio. Instead, Eads was unhappy with the creative direction of his character, sources tell THR, and clashed with an eight-months-pregnant co-writer of a recent episode. Word of the incident is said to have gotten back to showrunner Carol Mendelsohn and resulted in a meeting that ended with Eads threatening to quit. A rep for Eads declined to comment. Eads is one of only three actors who have been with CSI from the start (Paul Guilfoyle and Eric Szmanda are the others). Fox left and later returned to the show. Sources tell THR that Eads' absence will be addressed in the fourth episode of the season when Catherine (Marg Helgenberger, who will reprise her role in the landmark 300th episode) hand-picks his character to receive special training at Quantico. CSI returns Sept. 25 on CBS.

Paul Crouch, a pioneering televangelist who founded Trinity Broadcasting Network, the world’s largest Christian TV network, died today, according to the network's website. He was 79. The church reported in October that Crouch had fallen ill and was taken to a Dallas-area hospital while on a visit to a TBN facility in Colleyville, Texas. He had "heart and related health issues," the church said, and he was later returned to California for continued treatment. The son of a Missouri missionary, Crouch moved to California in the early 1960s to manage the movie and television unit of the Assemblies of God. A decade later, after receiving what he believed was a message from God, he began to buy television stations, cable channels and satellites and developed enough Christian programming to sustain a 24-hour network. By the mid-1980s, Orange County-based TBN was “the country’s most-watched religious network,” according to J. Gordon Melton and Jon R. Stone in their book “Prime-Time Religion: An Encyclopedia of Religious Broadcasting.” With his bubbly wife Jan, Crouch anchored TBN’s flagship program, “Praise the Lord,” a nightly two-hour talk show featuring guests, Scripture and entertainment. He was known for preaching a gospel of prosperity, imploring viewers to open their pocketbooks to further God’s works and reap spiritual and material blessings in return. During four decades on air he often generated controversy, in particular because of the extravagant lifestyle he and his wife led. Critics complained that his jets, mansions and lavish expense-account meals were paid by tax-exempt donations from TBN’s legion of “prayer partners,” whose pledges enabled the network to surpass its rivals in size and global reach.

[quote]A romantic reunion? Tom Daley arrives in the US...just days after he announces new relationship with a man 8 December 2013 He’s increasingly spent time Stateside since he was linked to Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. And British Olympian Tom Daley was spotted arriving in Houston, Texas, on Thursday after flying in from London. The 19-year-old was met at the airport by a blonde woman and the pair made a stop at Whole Foods on the way to his hotel. The handsome star wore a comfortable casual outfit for his travels, wearing an olive green T-shirt, a black quilted jacket , beige trousers and black high-top trainers. He looked relaxed and happy to arrive in Houston, where he is training for the UK Diving Championships in February, wearing a smile as he dragged two suitcases. He recently sparked speculation that his new relationship could be becoming serious, he was spotted ‘house-hunting' close to the Olympic Park, where he triumphed at last summer's Games. The Sun reported that the sports star was eying up a plush new pad with rumoured boyfriend Dustin Lance Black, a stone's throw from his new training ground in east London. 'They were both asking questions about the facilities so it looks like the two of them will be spending a lot of time together there,' an onlooker told the newspaper. The athlete's personal life was thrust into the limelight recently when he posted an emotional video on YouTube, saying he was dating a man. Although Tom hasn't confirmed the identity of his new beau, the pair were photographed grabbing a coffee together in Los Angeles in October, where the 39-year-old Milk screenwriter lives. His spokesman refused to comment on his rumoured house hunt, while the star has continued to live with his mother Debbie in his hometown of Plymouth after the Olympic Games. However it looks like he is ready to fly the nest as he focuses on training for Rio 2016 at the new aquatic centre. Tom revealed that making the decision to come out and reveal his sexuality was 'terrifying'. Speaking about his new love, Tom said: 'I’d never felt like 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.' On the Jonathan Ross show Tom said: 'I’d never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly, I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can’t get him out of my head all the time. I’ve never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much.' Asked why he hasn't identified his beau, Tom said: 'At the moment, I wouldn’t like anything to change. 'I hope it doesn’t get ruined by the media attention, everyone has been so supportive and I hope it continues that way.'
Am watching the film for the first time. Was this thing rated PG? It would be teetering on PG-13/R today mainly for all the minors in underwear and the hilarious masturbation scene. But it's enjoyable. My favorite is Scheckler. That actor is very talented and funny. And according to this pic in 2007, doesn't even resemble the chubby kid he once was. Barry Robins as Cotton is an acquired taste. His freakout at the end is pure scenery chewing. Bill Mumy is also quite good. Anybody see this in theaters upon its original release? How did it do?

Let me tell you all a very bittersweet story. Let's just call it: "Karma" - So once upon a time in a land far away there was a special and sweet kid who had a dream to become a painter. He was a brilliant artist and was ahead of his time. He had hopes, and dreams just like we all do. Unfortunately, the art schools did not feel the same as he and they rejected him. Fast forward a few years lat...er he was roughed up and bullied on top of that by the same people he once loved. His Name was Hitler. Then fast forward a few generations, there was once upon a time a young lady who also had the same hopes and dreams as Hitler did. She probably loved the Jews as much as they hated her. She still loved them. As a matter of fact, the majority of her friends were Jewish. She loved them so much and just wanted to be accepted by them that she even tried to convert to Judaism, but no. It was still not good enough for them. They mocked her, rejected her and laughed at her through and through when all she ever did was show them her love. Her name was Tila Tequila. -

After all Tom is just 19 and may lack the sexual experience of Dustin's typical partner. We can certainly assume Dustin has sucked Tom's cock. Do you think Tom has reciprocated yet? Do you think Dustin has touched Tom's asshole yet?
In what is easily the best news we've heard all damned day, Deadline, has learned that Dan Knauf, creator of the cult HBO series "Carnivale," has joined NBC’s upcoming 10-episode series "Dracula" as showrunner/head writer, working with series creator Cole Haddon. NBC's "Dracula" will feature Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("The Tudors", Shelter, Velvet Goldmine) as the iconic vampire. The series, from producers Tony Krantz and Colin Callender and writer Cole Haddon, is being produced for both NBC and the UK’s Sky Living. It was originally bought by NBC in January with a “script-to-series” commitment, meaning that it wouldn’t go through a pilot stage but straight to series if NBC brass liked the script. "Dracula" is produced by Krantz’s Flame Ventures, Callender’s Playground Entertainment, Universal TV, and NBCU International Prods.’ Carnival Films & Television, the company behind "Downton Abbey". Krantz and Callender are executive producing the series with Gareth Neame and Anne Mensah. Haddon and Flame’s Reece Pearson co-executive produce. Based on an idea by Krantz, it is set in the 1890s and has been described as “Dangerous Liaisons meets 'The Tudors,'” which is fitting given that "Tudors" star Meyers has been tapped to play the title role. The new series reunites Meyers with NBC's Bob Greenblatt, who cast the Irish actor in "The Tudors" while running Showtime. As a producer, Greenblatt gave Meyers his first starring role in the CBS telefilm Elvis, which was overseen by Universal TV EVP Bela Bajaria, then head of CBS’ movies and miniseries division. In the NBC/Sky Living series Dracula (Meyers) arrives in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who maintains that he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality he hopes to wreak revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier but falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife. “It is a timeless tale with relevant, surprising twists and turns with the exquisite Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the marquee role,” Bajaria said.
I guess this year is as predictable as all the previous years: American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Fruitvale Station, Gravity, Her, Inside Llewyn Davis, Nebraska, Saving Mr. Banks, 12 Years a Slave and The Wolf of Wall Street. The 10 TV programs selected are: The Americans, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Good Wife, House of Cards, Mad Men, Masters of Sex, Orange Is the New Black, Scandal, Veep.
I got douche chills watching this.

He does make gaffes when he speaks, but he's pretty decent.
What is happening here on DL? There is a new 900 page Barbara Stanwyck biography by Victoria Wilson, and unless I'm missing something, no one on DL has mentioned it. The book is actually the first volume of the bio that Wilson is writing, and deals with the years 1907 - 1940. It covers her marriage to Frank Fay, her romance with Frank Capra, who made her a star, and second marriage to Robert Taylor. The reviews I have read say nothing about Stanwyck as a lesbian. Maybe Stanwyck didn't turn to the ladies for love until later in life.
Be honest!
I'm counting on DL to point out the differences. I've avoided getting involved with bisexual men for years - not for any issue with their own sexual orientation but because, based on my experiences, I've always felt they were different from gay men. But I met a really great guy and we're very attracted to one another. So I thought I'd break my rule and give it a go. We've had a few dates and have a lot of chemistry. I've made it clear that I'm not a bottom, that I'm versatile, that I'm gay and that I'm a grown man. I feel strongly that his sexuality shouldn't define mine in a limiting way. I've been pretty persuasive about the joys of ass play and I haven't been aggressive and have promised to take my time with him, etc. His comfort level is my highest concern. And he has a gorgeous ass. But he's a bit of a tease, a bit coy. He says things like, "If you're lucky, maybe I'll let you do this...," etc. I suppose a certain amount of negotiation is to be expected but it makes think what I've always thought about this equation - bisexual men just want to control everything. Any experience here?
Men who self-identify as gay, whether they are telling other people or not.\ \ I didn''t really want to include men who are in full denial and have never really self-identified as gay, but it''s probably too fine of a line not to include them. I know that sounds crazy, but I was trying to gauge the percentage of men, in their minds, self-identify as gay who then either come out or stay closeted.\ \ Also, fully closeted vs. partially closeted. \ \ Partially closeted meaning they have important people in their lives who know, many have existing gay relationships, go out to gay clubs, have gay friends, but other important people (certain relatives, work colleagues, certain friends/acquaintances don''t know, at least not via the person). I''m not including random people, such as if the cashier at the grocery store doesn''t know. \ \ I''d say 35 percent fully closeted, 55% partially closeted, 20% fully out.

Tim Meadows WENT OFF on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend -- saying he'll NEVER WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN after they excluded him from a throwback sketch. Meadows -- who appeared on the show from 1991 to 2001 -- swore off the show after watching the "Brasky Bar Guys" bit ... a reoccurring sketch he often appeared in during his time with the show. Meadows tweeted: "They did Brasky without me" ... adding, "Not even a 'hey would you want to come to do one line and bring your kids to see the 5 directions...?' Nothing... Wow..." "I will never watch SNL again." Meadows also explained why he thinks he's persona non grata -- and it traces back to his movie, "The Ladies Man." "Sorry the ladies man bombed," Meadows wrote ... "If it would have done better they wouldn't treat me like a red-headed step child." After the rant, Tim cooled down and seemed to back off his comments ... saying, "I'm not mad at the show. I know what it takes to produce those sketches in a short amount of time. I talked to a friend on the show who said it WAS a last minute sketch." "I acted like a baby. I'm happy for all of my friends success and will always be grateful and proud to have been a part of SNL. That being said don't forget to see 'Anchorman 2' coming soon to a theater near you." Fun Fact: "The Ladies Man" bombed so bad it took SNL 10 years to make another movie.

It's very frustrating as feminine gay woman who is attracted to the same to see these sexually ambivalent women in the bars. Yes, I live in L.A. so they are the minority, but still they ruin the vibe. Especially when they are of the stud variety who come on to ladies like 14 yr old boys! No class, no decorum. THEY SCARE ME!!

He's already earned himself a reputation as a hell-raising movie star, even at the age of 27, but Shia LaBeouf has now allegedly been involved in a 'boozy bust-up' in which he unveiled his full fury. Dining at a chic restaurant bar in London's Covent Garden, Shia was approached by a female fan who left in tears after having spoken to the star. The woman's boyfriend is reported to have then approached the Transformers star which resulted in a 'tussle', according to The Sun of Sunday. 'Shia pursued him and was overhead saying, "I can get you killed",' the paper reports. The paper claims that Shia was eventually removed from the restaurant bar by a group of waiters and onlookers. A witness told the paper that 'Shia went for this guy after he upset his girlfriend. It was shocking. He looked out of control.' This is the second anger management issue for the American star here in the UK. In October the star was reportedly beaten up on a clubbing night out in London, while on a break from filming the aptly-titled movie Fury with Brad Pitt. Shia is said to have filmed two sisters, one of whom was vomitting, ignoring requests to stop doing so. The situation allegedly ended with Shia being hit and kicked by a pssserby who had intervened, with bouncers from the club then stepping in to break up the fracas. This may all be two cases of life imitating art. Shia's 2012 film Lawless saw him star in the gruesome Western killfest as a violent criminal during the prohibition era.

I thought I'd bring you up to date. I now have an ugly black eye and I am recovering from a pummeling you wouldn't believe. All of this was for simply suggesting I might consider a small financial settlement if he wanted out of our relationship. He smacked my face so hard I have three teeth that are loose. I have a dentists appointment on Tuesday. That was the earliest appt. I could get. Then he doubled his fist and punched me in the head giving a nasty black eye. He called me a bunch of names I can't correctly spell, but they were mean and nasty. I'm considering filing charges, but there were no witnesses, so it's my word and injuries against his bruised hands. I'm really confused as to what my next step should be.
MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin's ultra-liberal capital city is a place where just about anything goes, from street parties to naked bike rides. But city officials say a business is pushing even Madison's boundaries by offering, of all things, hugs. For $60, customers at the Snuggle House can spend an hour hugging, cuddling and spooning with professional snugglers. Snugglers contend touching helps relieve stress. But Madison officials suspect the business is a front for prostitution and, if it's not, fear snuggling could lead to sexual assault. Not buying the message that the business is all warm and fuzzy, police have talked openly about conducting a sting operation at the business, and city attorneys are drafting a new ordinance to regulate snuggling. "There's no way that (sexual assault) will not happen," assistant city attorney Jennifer Zilavy said. "No offense to men, but I don't know any man who wants to just snuggle." Snuggle House owner Matthew Hurtado hasn't responded to multiple requests for an interview. His attorney, Tim Casper, said in an interview last month the business is legitimate and Hurtado has put precautions in place to protect clients and employees from each other. "The concept is obviously a novel one and you can see where they (the city) might be a little skeptical," he said. "Could something happen? Yeah, I suppose. But they're taking every precaution." In recent days, it's become unclear whether or not the house is still in business. No one answered the door there Saturday. A posting on a Facebook page claiming to be the Snuggle House's site said it had closed, but the page owner wouldn't identify themselves — or confirm if it was the home's official site. Neither Hurtado nor Casper have returned phone and email messages. Madison's concern seems to be deeper than in other cities where similar businesses have set up shop as cuddling has grown into a cottage industry over the past decade. Police in Rochester, N.Y., said they've had no complaints about The Snuggery, which offers overnight cuddle sessions. Be The Love You Are in Boulder, Colo., offers cuddles with "Snuggle Stars." Cuddle Therapy in San Francisco offers packages that "focus directly with your current needs around connection, intimacy and touch," according to its website. Police in San Francisco and Boulder didn't respond to The AP's inquires about those businesses. The nonprofit organization Cuddle Party has trained about 100 people across five continents to run group snuggle sessions, said Len Daley, a psychologist who serves as executive director at Cuddle Party headquarters in Montgomery, Ala. Betty Martin, a Seattle-based sex educator who facilities cuddle parties in that city, said she's never had problems with government officials or police. Cuddle Party participants must keep their clothes on and go through a pre-session workshop on how to say "no," she said. "People think if there's touch happening there must be sex happening. That's not the case at all," Martin said. Madison might seem like an ideal spot for snuggling. Former Gov. Lee Dreyfus once described the Democratic stronghold as "30 square miles surrounded by reality." The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which advocates for atheists, is based here. Every year UW-Madison students hold a blocks-long party to celebrate the end of the school year and biking enthusiasts pedal through the streets in various stages of undress each spring. The Snuggle House sits above a bar about a block from the state Capitol. The only indication it's there is a welcome mat that reads "Snuggle House." The business's website features photos of bedrooms with hardwood floors and videos of four snugglers — three women and one man — talking about wanting to help people feel better.

How come this has never been turned into a movie or TV mini-series? Sounds fascinating. From Wikipedia: The Boise homosexuality scandal refers to a sweeping investigation of a supposed "homosexual underground" in Boise, Idaho that started in 1955. Beginning with the arrest of three men in October 1955, the investigation broadened to encompass allegations that over 100 young men and teenage boys had been involved in sexual acts with a ring of adult homosexual men. By the time the investigation wound down in January 1957, some 1,500 people had been questioned, sixteen men faced charges, and fifteen of them were sentenced to terms ranging from probation to life in prison. Reportage of the investigation and arrests set off a moral panic in Boise, fueled by incendiary editorials in the city's newspaper. Although framed in terms of "protecting children" from adult predators, the probe was not confined to investigating charges of men having sex with underage boys and some of those convicted and sentenced to prison were found guilty only of sexual encounters with other consenting adults. The scandal highlighted the tension between the perception of homosexuality as a mental illness requiring treatment and homosexual sex as a criminal act mandating punishment and led to an examination of the problems of juvenile delinquency. The reasons behind both the start and the end of the investigation are unclear. In his seminal book on the scandal, The Boys of Boise: Furor, Vice and Folly in an American City, journalist and academician John Gerassi suggests that the investigation began as a means for the wealthy elite of Boise to assert and maintain economic control of the city and the state. He asserts that a gay millionaire known as "The Queen" was the target of the probe, although he was never charged. With the son of the loudest proponent of the investigation implicated, Gerassi suggests that the forces behind the probe realized that homosexuals were at every level of society and that their wealth and power would not necessarily insulate them, leading them to quietly halt the investigation.

The boy band are currently leading the battle for Christmas number one fragrance - maybe that's why Harry Styles and Swifty didn't work out? :( People want to smell like One Direction more than Lady Gaga, according to soaring sales figures for their new fragrance. The boys are leading the battle for Christmas number one fragrance according to online beauty retailer feelunique - proving they aren't just pretty faces. The teen heartthrobs' Our Moment fragrance has sold at least five times as many as any other celebrity fragrance in the run up to Christmas. Well it's no surprise really given the amount of obsessed fans they have. According to the fashion site, one bottle is currently being sold every minute - that's a whole lot of 1D love. Coming in second is outrageous singer Lady Gaga with her 18th century-inspired Fame perfume. Close behind her is pop princess Britney Spears with Fantasy, followed by chart topping songstress Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday. And poor Justin Bieber clearly hasn't dropped his top enough this year after all, because the women are beating him as he comes in fifth with his fragrance The Key. Despite Taylor Swift’s Wonderstruck being the biggest celebrity seller last year, she is coming in sixth so far this time round - let's hope she's not TOO bitter about her ex stealing the top spot. At number 10 is burlesque babe Dita Von Teese's scent, with David Beckham, Kate Moss and Beyonce stealing spots above her. Siobhan McDermott, feelunique general manager, said: "It just proves that women will quite literally do anything to have Harry Styles’ scent on their skin.” Yes, yes they will. Here are the top 10 so far: One Direction: Our Moment Lady Gaga: Fame Britney Spears - Fantasy Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday Justin Bieber - The Key Taylor Swift - Wonderstruck David Beckham - Homme Kate Moss - Kate Beyonce - Heat Dita Von Tesse - Eau de Parfum

I just finished reading the book by her friend/maid ("Living with Miss G") and the only memory I have of her is in Earthquake where she was cast as Lorne Greene's daughter ("Daddy!"). She wasn't very good in that, and as I went through this memoir it looks like her only real hit movie was a part in "Night of the Iguana" back in 1964. She was often described as wooden. Could she act? The book is good, by the way. And I kind of got the feeling that Ava and her maid were definitely more than employer/employee and possibly more than "just friends."
She looks like the Joker.

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

Of course there are tons of black and brown belts. I've seen blue, red and even green belts. But grey belts are now extremely rare. Why is that? I've seen a number of grey shoes, so why no grey belts? I've always thought grey goes with more colors than brown, so why is brown so much more popular?

Yay for them. Seriously.
Pamela Geller is once again calling for Congress to reject a resolution condemning the persecution of Burma’s Rohingya minority. As we noted on Wednesday, the Rohingya minority in Burma is facing a campaign of persecution that many human rights groups describe as ethnic cleansing. But since they are Muslim, they have little sympathy from Geller. In a blog post today, she claims that the Rohingya are waging “jihad in Burma,” but the “goosestepping thugs” of “Jihad agitators and their leftist shills” are covering it up and unfairly criticizing her. “Pure evil. The Left always does this,” she writes. Geller must then consider Jim DeMint’s Heritage Foundation as a leftist, jihadist group, as the conservative organization denounced the “ethnic cleansing” and “atrocities” committed against the Rohingya. We’re sure she also has words for the Republican congressmen who are co-sponsoring the resolution. Opposition to the jihad in Burma is fast becoming the third rail. The bogus myth of Muslim victimhood has become the rallying cry for Islamic supremacists organizations (CAIR, the OIC, et al) and their leftwing operatives across the nation and the world. And I dared touch that third rail when I called for Atlas readers, twitter followers and FB friends to contact their congressmen and vote NO on resolution 418 (more here). Jihad agitators and their leftist shills were none too pleased. It is clear that jihad terrorists are converging on Burma from Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan -- a jihad group from the Caucasus announced that back in July. Still, media coverage and reportage on the violence in Burma is notoriously pro-jihad (is there any country that opposes jihad that the media likes?). Much is made of the Buddhists' reponse [sic] to Muslim violence against Buddhists in Burma. But Aung San Suu Kyi, Burmese nobel peace prize winner and Myanmar's democracy and human rights icon, has spoken uneqivocally [sic] in support of the Buddhists, much to the media's crushing dismay. She had been, up until that point, a media darling. … Now their goosestepping thugs, the illegal uber-left network of hacktivists and anarchist entities, "Anonymous," has taken up the jihad in Burma as their latest cause -- so of course they would target me on twitter. The FBI has dismantled the leaders of Anonymous and arrested the group's core members, but anonymous trolls abound. This is left's idea od [sic] intellectual sparring. Pure evil. The Left always does this. They try to demean the character of their enemies by engaging in mockery and ridicule, which only makes more glaring their total inability and unwillingness to engage on the level of ideas.

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

Does anyone have this old recording? If so, could you please tell me how "Marvelous Party" begins on this recording? I had an album (back when one had LPs) of one Coward revue, and in it, the first thing you heard was the tinkling of ice in a glass as a rather Noel-like fellow woke from having been passed out, and moaned, dripping with sarcasm, "I've been to a marvelous party..." Only by the end of the song does he realize just how fun a party it was. Does this sound familiar? Is it the version on Oh Coward? If not, any idea what album it was? ALSO--totally unrelated--I once owned an LP of "Gorey by Grimes" (Tammy Grimes reading Edward Gorey poetry and books, hysterically). Of course it was never issued on CD. I can't seem to find the LP anywhere online. Anyone have a lead?

Fresh off the smash ratings of Sound of Music, the producers of the Broadway bound musical Bullets Over Broadway have made an offer to Carrie to join the cast. They are eying her for the pivotal role of Olive Neal, which garnered Jennifer Tilly an Oscar nomination for the film version. What is it about Carrie's performance in Sound of Music that would make producers think she would be right for Olive Neal?
I am curious where people are posting from. I know this has been done before, but I searched back, and only found one ersatz poll from earlier this year.
Seriously. Every site has different rules. It makes it almost impossible to come up with a password or pattern I can remember across three dozen different sites that all demand passwords. I know you're not "supposed" to use the same password on multiple sites, but it's easy to use one for "non-critical" sites (where you lose nothing if you get hacked, really), and then just have a simple pattern that is easy to remember to vary the passwords across other sites. But when different sites have different, and conflicting rules, it fucking sucks. Like one site demands that you use an upper-case, a lower-case, a number, AND a symbol, and that your password must be 10 characters or longer. A different site says your password must be 6-8 characters. Yet another says "no special characters". UGH! Fuck you all. Let ME choose the password. If I get hacked, let it be my fucking fault... not YOURS because you made me have to write down my damn password just to remember it. Either that or just get one UNIFORM set of standards. Seriously, this is fucking ridiculous.

Talk about nerve. Hoping to match History Channel's gigantic numbers for its 2012 miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, that cable network's sister station A&E has bankrolled a four-hour tale about the real-life outlaw couple Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. It's not exactly fresh material: In addition to countless history books and documentaries, the bloodthirsty pair's story has previously been told in Arthur Penn's 1967 drama Bonnie and Clyde, one of the most important American films of all time, in terms of its violence, sexuality, and ironic style. A&E hired Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) to direct the project, and decided to air it simultaneously on A&E, History, and Lifetime, so kudos to them, I guess, for dreaming big. But this miniseries is terrible, as close to a complete waste of time as I've encountered in my two years of writing for this publication. In contrast to Penn's Bonnie and Clyde, or for that matter almost any gangster story you can name, this miniseries has no real point of view of its main characters — no sense of who they were beyond their most basic plot functions, much less what values they expressed or opposed. There's a smidgen of artistic POV in the dubious notion that Bonnie totally drove the relationship, while Clyde was a schlump who might have whiled away his twilight years in peace if that vain tart hadn't gotten her hooks into him. ("He held the gun. She called the shots," the ads assert, which would be silly even if we didn't see Bonnie firing actual shots in the clips.) Beyond that, this is another one of those dag-blasted historical potboilers that thinks "drama" equals "acting out stuff that happened." Clyde — played by Emile Hirsch, who has been excellent elsewhere but is close to a zero here — narrates the miniseries as a sort of extended rise-and-fall narrative, coupled with a foolish love story. This is the worst kind of narration — the kind that tells you things you could already see or intuit, when it's not smearing personal and historical factoids atop the scenes. Bonnie, played by Holliday Grainger of The Borgias, is a sexy hellion who attaches herself to Clyde as a means of escaping her humdrum existence. There's not much sense of the real-life Bonnie, who was comfortable around the "criminal element" long before she met Clyde and married a brutal criminal at age 16. This one just wants to be famous. She dreams of being an actress and practically falls apart when she gets a rejection letter from Columbia Pictures. She's the mastermind of Bonnie-and-Clyde-as-celebrities, the half of the couple who escalates violent situations or reacts to them with chilling indifference, and the fame-monger who obsessively maintains a scrapbook, comes up with the bright idea that "Bonnie" should go before "Clyde" in newspaper stories, and even confronts a reporter at home when she fails to get the order of billing right. Clyde, meanwhile, is depicted, rather half-assedly, as a quasi-mystical seeker, a man-child who had a vision of Bonnie as a much younger man and recognizes her as his dream girl: his destiny. Throughout the miniseries, Clyde comes off as essentially decent, if rather dumb and volatile, while Bonnie becomes more and more of a harpy, to the point that any love she once felt for Clyde is subsumed by a ravenous desire for more, more, more fame. This is vastly less complex, not to mention interesting, than the version of the relationship presented in the 1967 movie, where Bonnie and Clyde's thirst for notoriety was a team effort that came out of two very different dysfunctional family histories. An all-star supporting cast — including Holly Hunter as Bonnie's mother and William Hurt as Frank Hamer, who comes out of retirement to catch the duo — acts mostly in a void, their often precise and thoughtful choices presented in a blandly unimaginative manner. Were the miniseries well-made, its story might be engaging anyhow, in a bad-for-you-but-you-can't-stop-watching way. But the script, by Joe Bateer and John Rice, has no sense of shape; it's just a collection of things that happen

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

Any UK DataLoungers watching this? Second episode airs on BBC4 tonight. Don’t Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves (BBC Four) is an award-winning Swedish drama about the Aids epidemic in Eighties Stockholm. Touching, bleak, at times painful to watch, this was a stark reminder of the disease’s impact. Based on Jonas Gardell’s novel Love, the first of three episodes introduced us to Rasmus (Adam Palsson), a 19-year-old from a provincial country town who throws himself into the city’s gay scene on leaving home for the first time, and Benjamin (Adam Lundgren), a reserved Jehovah’s Witness slowly coming to terms with his sexuality. We met the two protagonists in childhood, then as adults at a extravagant Christmas party thrown by Paul (Simon J Berger), with horrific flash-forwards to them in hospital beds just hours from death. “The story you are about to see is true,” said the voice-over. “It happened here, in this city. It was like a war fought in peacetime.” It was not an easy story to watch. It was, however, beautifully shot, flipping between shaky footage of men loitering under lampposts in Stockholm’s parks and cosy, softly-lit family scenes of the boys’ unsuspecting families. Symbolism was used very effectively, from the handprint on the window to the majestic white elk (“In some parts of the forest there are whole herds of them,” Rasmus’s father told him as a boy. “People shoot them because they are different.”) Paul was a brilliant character – flamboyant, self-deprecating, the very image of Rasmus and Benjamin’s parents’ worst nightmares with his feather boas and flowery wallpaper. The story developed quickly, giving us just enough of a glimpse into the world in which Rasmus and Benjamin found themselves – in parts seedy, yet also close-knit. The final scene, of the two lovers holding hands in the street, snow softly falling all around, was visually stunning, but a stark reminder that the worst is yet to come.
"Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves" - Swedish gay miniseries
I have a really big family, somewhere around 45-50 adults, and for quite a few of us we only see eachother at the family's huge get togethers at x-mas time, so my grandmother picks names out of hat for who we are to buy a present for and then calls to let us know. This year I got my half-brother's new wife. I don't know her at all and I barely know my half-brother. He's 17 years older than I am so I saw very little of him growing up as he was out of the house to college and then the military. Pretty much the only time I've spent with him has been when he's been able to be at the giant x-mas gatherings at my grandmother's house. I had no idea what to get her so my grandmother offered to try to find out what she might want. My grandmother just called and told me what she wants is a "serious purse" . I have no idea what that means, and neither does my grandmother. I guess when she asked my half-brother's wife what a serious purse was she just laughed and said that I'd know what she meant. (WTF?) I have no idea what she meant by that, or what a "serious purse" is. Does that mean an expensive or designer purse? Or a work purse? Or what? Anyone have any idea what it is?
When does a relationship between therapist and their patients go too far? When does it start to be a bit strange? So I have this friend who goes to a therapist. Nothing unusual. She also goes to the group therapy. Nothing unusual. She also became good friends with a couple of the others going to the group therapy. Nothing unusual. I find it strange how the revere their (female) therapist. Now when they have an event, they invite the therapist. They are on first-name terms with their therapists and also 'friends' on facebook. One published a book (I read a couple of pages, it's IMO tirdsome) and the therapist is commenting on facebook all the time aboug how wonderful and superb the book is and on which page she currently is. Of course the therapist also appears in the book along with her contact details. Maybe I'm jealous but I find all of this very strange. And I can't talk to my friend about as she won't hear any 'critical' opinions about the therapist.

Before the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, President Obama promised Americans they could keep their healthcare plan if they liked it. But already hundreds of thousands of citizens are receiving notification that their plans are being cancelled because they don't comply with the new law, and, according to NBC News, the Obama administration has known for at least three years the cancellations were coming. While campaigning for health care reform in 2009, Obama went out of his way to make one thing perfectly clear: if you like your current health care plan, you will be able to keep it. On June 15, 2009, Obama said this: "We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period.” In 2012, he echoed that sentiment, saying, "“If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.” However, many are finding that not to be the case. More than 300,000 cancellation notices have been sent out in Florida, according to Kaiser Health News, and another 180,000 in California. In New Jersey, the number of cancellations tops 800,000, the Star-Ledger reports. According to NBC News, approximately 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million Americans who buy their health insurance individually should expect to receive a cancellation letter over the next year "because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law." This could result in millions of Americans being forced to purchase different policies, potentially at higher premiums. Top 5 Product Launch FailuresPlay video." Top 5 Product Launch Failures So how did the Obama administration know the cancellations would be coming? The Affordable Care Act states that people who had health insurance prior to March 23, 2010 – the day President Obama signed the bill into law – will be able to keep those policies even if they don't meet the requirements of the new law. However, the Department of Health and Human Services tightened that provision, so that "if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date -- the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example -- the policy would not be grandfathered," NBC News reports. Because the market for individual insurance experiences significant turnover, the insinuation is the Obama administration had to have known many policies "grandfathered" in would not qualify for the ACA. NBC News claims that the administration knew in 2010 that "more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them." “This says that when they made the promise [that individuals could keep their plans], they knew half the people in this market outright couldn’t keep what they had and then they wrote the rules so that others couldn’t make it either,” Robert Laszewski of Health Policy and Strategy Associates told NBC News. Monday, former Obama adviser David Axelrod said on MSNBC's Morning Joe that "most people are going to keep their own plan." When asked about Axelrod's admission of "most" as opposed to all, White House spokesman Jay Carney acknowledge that some individual's plans will be cancelled, but countered that the plans they switch to will be better and affordable. "What the president said and what everybody said all along is that there are going to be changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act to create minimum standards of coverage," Carney said. "… So it's true that there are existing health-care plans on the individual market that don't meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act." Actually, what the President said back in 2009 was "[the Affordable Care Act] is for people who aren’t happy with their current plan. If you like what you’re getting, keep it. Nobody is forcing you to shift." Only now, some who like their plans are being forced, including Laszewski. According to NBC News, he has a so-called "Cadillac plan" – "the best

Many of those voting to cut food stamps are "Democrats." So those of you who hate the poor can celebrate. In a few months the poor will have about $2.85 a day to eat or 95 cents a meal. Congratulations America. You've officially become the cruelest nation on earth. Oh and btw, the money they are taking from food stamps are going to corporate farms, basically billionaires. This is only the beginning. Politicians on both sides want to take another 33 billion from food stamps. All of you who cheer this should hope every second of your life you will never find yourself in a position to need help from the government. Once they've sucked the programs for the poorest dry they'll be coming for SS, Medicare and unemployment.
