Obviously, it's everyone else who is the problem. And her nightmare of a mother is the EP of her new show, too. Good luck cast and crew members! "Katherine Heigl faced some pretty tough questioning when she fronted the panel for her new series State Of Affairs during the 2014 NBCUniversal TCA Press Tour in Beverly Hills on Sunday. Having not appeared on the small screen since she dramatically departed Grey's Anatomy on far from the best of terms back in 2010, the actress was questioned about her rather notorious reputation which has reportedly made a number of people not want to work with her. 'I can't really speak to that. I can only say that I certainly don't see myself as being difficult. I would never intend to be difficult,' she said. Addressing rumours that her mother Nancy Heigl - who is an executive producer alongside her daughter - is also hard to work with, she simply said: 'I don't think my mother sees herself as being difficult. We always... I think it's important to everybody to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully and kindly.' She continued: 'If I've ever disappointed somebody, it was never intentional.' That certainly wasn't the only hard-hitting question the mom-of-two had to fend off, also asked her thoughts in hindsight about her previous comment that she felt there is 'a portion of this controversy that is about Hollywood not knowing what to do with a woman who speaks her mind'.
Katherine Heigl: I Don't See Myself as Difficult to Work With
Gravity star says paper has crossed 'far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence' Actor George Clooney has accused the Daily Mail of concocting a false and irresponsible story about his fiancée, the human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin. He issued a strongly-worded statement to the popular American national newspaper, USA Today, following the publication of a Mail article which claimed that Alamuddin's mother, Baria, opposed their forthcoming marriage on religious grounds. It cited unnamed family members as its source. Clooney wrote: "I want to speak to the irresponsibility of Monday's Daily Mail report. I seldom respond to tabloids, unless it involves someone else and their safety or well being. The Daily Mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiancée's mother opposing our marriage for religious reasons. It says Amal's mother has been telling 'half of Beirut' that she's against the wedding. It says they joke about traditions in the Druze religion that end up with the death of the bride. Let me repeat that: the death of the bride." In his statement he dismantled the key details of the Mail's story: "None of the story is factually true. Amal's mother is not Druze. She has not been to Beirut since Amal and I have been dating, and she is in no way against the marriage." But that, in his view, was not "the issue." After claiming that he is used to the Mail "making up stories" about him, he argued that "this lie involves larger issues." He wrote: "The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous. We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal." Clooney, 53, whose father was a TV journalist and broadcaster, continued: "I'm the son of a newsman; I accept the idea that freedom of speech can be an inconvenience to my private life from time to time." But he was concerned by the fact that the Mail's false story had been picked up by hundreds of other outlets, such as Boston.com, New York Daily News, Gulf News and Emirates 24/7. Daily Mail story on George Clooney's fiancée Daily Mail story on George Clooney's fiancée He concluded his statement by writing: "The Daily Mail, more than any other organisation that calls itself news, has proved time and time again that facts make no difference in the articles they make up. "And when they put my family and my friends in harm's way, they cross far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence. They must be so very proud." He cited three "idiotic" and false stories that the Mail has fabricated about him and Alamuddin: she was pregnant, their marriage will take place on the set of Downton Abbey and he is running for political office. These are, he claims, stories "they sit at their computers and invent." The latest Mail Online version of the story is different from the one published in the newspaper on Monday. It was amended six hours after it was originally posted on the website. But it still states that Alamuddin's mother, Baria, "is not so impressed" with Clooney and "wanted her to marry within their strict Lebanese religious sect, according to close family friends." USA Today reports that the Mail "did not respond to requests for comment."

Ed Miliband rebukes TV star after he attacks former DPP Stephen Fry left an audience in shocked silence at a Labour fundraiser attended by Ed Miliband by publicly criticising the Operation Yewtree investigation into historic sex abuse. The Labour-supporting comedian, who was hosting the event, complained that less than 50 per cent of those people held under Yewtree have been found guilty and that those who make false accusations should be prosecuted. But last night Mr Miliband’s office issued a rebuke to Mr Fry by insisting that the party fully supported Yewtree and making clear that Mr Miliband’s ‘thoughts were with the victims’. Mr Fry singled out for criticism Keir Starmer, the former Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who was present at the gala dinner last Wednesday. Mr Starmer was the architect of the successful prosecutions under Yewtree – the Scotland Yard operation spawned by the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal – of entertainer Rolf Harris, publicity guru Max Clifford and TV presenter Stuart Hall. But Yewtree has also led to failed prosecutions against entertainers including Coronation Street star William Roache. And cases were dropped against comedians Freddie Starr, Jim Davidson and Jimmy Tarbuck after months of destructive publicity. Mr Fry’s friend, the BBC DJ Paul Gambaccini, was arrested in October as part of Operation Yewtree on suspicion of historical sexual offences, but was released on bail and has never been charged with any offence. Mr Fry, 56, is understood to be infuriated that the failure to charge Mr Gambaccini has received significantly less publicity than his arrest, leaving an unfair stain on his character. The Blackadder and QI star, who hosted the event at London’s Roundhouse – with tables of nine costing up to £15,000 – stunned the crowd by referring to the growing political storm at Westminster over allegations of an establishment cover-up over a supposed child sex abuse ring. Mr Fry, who has a reputation for standing up for human rights, urged the crowd to remember some of ‘the essential values which the Labour Party stands for’, including that ‘people are innocent until proven guilty’. After citing Magna Carta, the 799-year-old foundation of British constitutional rights, Mr Fry said that ‘fewer than half’ of the people held under Yewtree had been found guilty – before identifying Mr Starmer in the audience. The comedian then launched into what one guest described as a ‘rant’ about how the law should be toughened up to deter people from inventing claims about sex abuse. ‘It was all a bit awkward,’ the guest told The Mail on Sunday. ‘There was a smattering of applause, but mostly there was this deadly silence. And Ed looked as if he had swallowed a wasp.’ However, Scotland Yard has faced criticism from a variety of quarters over its handling of high profile investigations such as its £30million inquiries into phone hacking, and allegations that journalists bribed public officials, broke into computers and were guilty of other privacy breaches. At least 30 journalists remain on bail, some of whom have been in that position – unable to resume their careers – for more than two years. Last night, a source close to Mr Starmer, who left his office last November and is believed to be considering a career as a Labour politician, said: ‘The silence was pretty profound when Fry went off on one. It was a strange moment. I think he was falsely equating the failure to mount a successful prosecution with malicious accusations.' ‘If accusations are faked then there is the crime of perverting the cause of justice, in which case the accusers do lose their right to anonymity. What Yewtree and the prosecutions has achieved was help and publicity for a previously unprotected group of victims, who felt that their abusers had been unfairly ring-fenced.’ A spokesman for Mr Miliband said: ‘Ed Miliband fully supports the work of Operation Yewtree and has made clear all along that our thoughts should be with the victims. The Labour Party gala dinner was a hugely successful event and we are very grateful to Stephen Fry for hosting it.’ Last night Mr Fry did not comment.

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

In remarks framed as a message to the American public, actor Jon Voight emotionally aired his political grievances for several minutes in a televised statement on Saturday. Those grievances range from (but are not limited to) Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the "targeting" of conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, illegal immigration, the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case, the treatment of war veterans, the chaos in Iraq and deep reservations about President Obama. "Five years ago, I stated that Obama would take the country apart piece-by-piece, that he would cause a civil war in this country," Voight read on Saturday in a statement on Mike Huckabee's Fox News show. "In hindsight we can see how many things have come to pass." "Let us remember, let us not forget Benghazi," he continued. "Let us not say what difference does it make. Obama found a perfect way to put this under the rug, blaming Republicans, saying that they just want to find fault with his administration. And still to this day we still not know the truth." Voight, an Oscar-winner, currently stars in Showtime drama Ray Donovan, which premieres its second season on Sunday. The actor, the father of Angelina Jolie, has long been outspoken about his conservative-leaning political beliefs. During his Fox News, he also singled out the Democratic party on social issues. "The Democrat party has become a very negative force ... it's more socialist in their thinking, and they've given young women the wrong ideas about what democracy really is," he said. "[Congresswoman] Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the gang leader for all the wrong information to our young women," Voight said, "Convincing them that Republicans are stopping their liberties and freedoms of reproduction when the truth is, as the Supreme Court upheld, that religious freedoms are being infringed upon."

She cannot sing. At all. I recently saw her singing "The Ladies Who Lunch" on some PBS thing and she screeched every lyric and almost sounded like she was tone-deaf. She comes across as a real nasty, miserable bitch too. How did she get so much work that required her to sing?

In the latest episode of SeaWorld's growing list of embarrassing PR blunders, the company made a ludicrous attack on the musician Cher on its newly created website called “Awesome Ocean.” The piece criticizes Cher for her outspoken support of the documentary “Blackfish” on Twitter, and for her disgust of the marine park. Writes the “Awesome Ocean” editorial staff -- one of which is a verified SeaWorld staffer: There is a theorem that says that if you give a monkey (or any animal) an infinite amount of time banging away on a keyboard, eventually the monkey will produce a work of Shakespeare. Or something like that. SeaWorld is truly grasping at straws with this one -- the story notes that ‘even The Donald once called her a "lonely loser,’" a point that is entirely moot, given the context. This isn’t about Donald Trump (a man whose son was happily photographed trophy hunting), this is about marine mammals in captivity. Period. The website, “Awesome Ocean,” is at least partially funded by SeaWorld, as the company freely acknowledged in an email to its supporters. Undoubtedly, attacking Cher and the website in general, will prove to be just another tone-deaf PR blunder made by a desperate and flailing SeaWorld. SeaWorld and marine parks profit off keeping orcas and other marine animals in captivity -- despite evidence that captivity not only induces unnatural behaviors in whales, but also endangers trainers. Join us in pledging never to visit SeaWorld or other marine parks until they empty their orca tanks.

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

First of all- "Boyhood" deserves all the Oscars from the last 14 years. I love Linklater and his "talky boring movies" so this...THIS is awesome. I came home and read the iMdB reviews (100% positive, BTW) and cried. Damn, this movie hits like Ali. You think you're just watching boring coming of age shit and BAM it changes. By the end I was in love. And tears. No slight to Patty, but the AWARD (yes, I think Hawke, Arquette, Coltrane and (Li'l girl) Linklater will sweep the Oscars) should go to Delpy. The "Before" saga is her story in many ways, and this fucking masterpiece of a movie should have starred HER! Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Actress, AND supporting role wins...damn. Damn. What an amazing film.
What do you think of this movie? Joan Allen was really outstanding- I don't know why she hasn't had a bigger lead female career. And Sigourney Weaver, as usual, was wonderful as a pathetic New Canaan, CT monster circa 1973. The theme of these lonely characters, cursed to be born in a media-dominated society and hoping to find meaning in their lives through cultural fads and material possessions- this is even more relevant today than when the story takes place.
Are there other men like him?
We all know it, but have those trashy hard rockers from the 70s ever admitted this?
Met a guy on Grindr last night. (Should I post pic?) Anyway, he came over and had some ecstasy. Never tried it but he had me put it in my south mouth lol Holy fuck that's some good shit. We watched Enter the Void a bit on Netflix and i could t control myself. His cock was in my mouth within minutes. I felt so physically connected with him. He shot up some coke and I passed out. He woke me up and had made breakfast so that was cool. I asked him if I could buy some ecstasy from him but he said he'd just bring some more tonight. It's not too bad right? We're not talking meth right?
Is he gay? He's a cutie. Talented too.
I am. It's terrible, but it makes me feel better when I'm shoving something delicious into my mouth. I'm going to be fitted for my caftan today.
According to The Age newspaper: [quote] For the record, I am not gay and all my sexual experiences have been straight. I'm attracted to women, I love children and aspire to have a family one day [quote] In an article accompanying an extract from his autobiography, Thorpe said he was confident he would soon find a partner. [quote] 'In fact, I have someone in mind who I got introduced to by a friend,'' he told journalist Jane Wheatley. Is she Australian? He won't say. How long has he known her? ''A few months.'' He says his grandmother gave him some advice: ''She said, 'Marry someone much younger, that way as you get older, she is always going to look better.'
I'd say this one qualifies by any standard.

He just loves to have his ass opened up and his girlfriend isn''t into it using toys, etc..\ \ Anyone else know similar guys?

You can swim, but you can't hide forever. And why would he live in Switzerland of all places? Dating women in Europe, of course. "Olympian Ian Thorpe has checked himself into rehab in Sydney while battling depression and alcohol abuse. The swimming great has been living in Switzerland for 18 months, but returned to Sydney to spend the Christmas period with his family at his parents' Panania home. The 31-year-old was injured in a fall earlier in the week, according to media reports on Friday, and was admitted to hospital on Wednesday night. Friends say Thorpe has struggled to adjust to life after swimming and with the disappointment of a failed comeback at the London Olympics in 2012. Thorpe, who has been seen at social events over the New Year, including the Australian Open in Melbourne, has spoken of constant pain from an old back injury. He released an autobiography last year in which he said he'd struggled with depression and alcohol abuse. "Not even my family is aware that I've spent a lot of my life battling what I can only describe as crippling depression," the five-time Olympic gold medallist wrote. He said he had also used alcohol as a way of dealing with hard times in his life. A close friend of Thorpe said on Thursday night that they were thinking of the swimming legend. "He had an accident at home," the friend said. "He slipped and hurt himself. "We're hoping he's going to be OK and make a full recovery." Broadcaster Alan Jones, a close friend of Thorpe's, also said the swimmer had been going through some problems recently. "Yes, it's serious but there's not a lot I can or want to add," Jones said on Thursday night. "Ian is a beautiful person but he has difficulty recognising his problems."
Took this from another message board... "So I have a co-worker who is about Chris Brown's complexion. He says he is saving money up to have "designer babies". He said he wants his daughter dark skinned like Naomi Campbell and his son to be mixed. He said he doesn't want any son of his to be darker than him because most dark skinned men are stereotyped as thugs and have a disadvantage in corporate and mainstream America. He said he wants a darkskinned daughter because he said they have a unique beauty about them that is appreciated more and he will teach her to love her beautiful dark skinned like Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong'o, and Whitney Houston. As he's talking i'm looking at him all crazy like is he really saying this. He said his sons surrogate mom will be White with blue eyes and his daughters surrogate mother will be Trinidadian or Cambodian. He said the doctor who will be doing the procedure allows him to pick the sex, hair texture, and eye color of the baby. Am I the only one that thinks "designer babies" are unethical? I don't think the government should allow people to pick the look of their baby like they can for clothes and shoes. Something about that seems so vain to me."
Because the old one vanished. I'm starting The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer--so far it looks good.

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

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

They've been enjoying an Italian getaway together. And unlikely friends Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez were pictured flying into Sardinia Airport via a private jet on Thursday. They were accompanied by their host, Italian businessman Gianluca Vacchi and his girlfriend. That day, Gianluca shared an Instagram video hopping out of the private jet and kissing the ground, with the caption, ‘SARDINIA finally!!! enjoy #GVlifestyle’ Zac, 26, and Michelle, 35, were last pictured together at Porto Cervo in Sardinia on July 25, embarking on a boat ride. It appears they have returned after vacationing elsewhere. Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Zac and Michelle looked coordinated on Thursday, and were both clad in head to toe black. The Neighbors actor sported a sweater over shorts with high socks and sneakers and a duffel bag slung over his shoulder. Feeling warm, he then removed his outerwear to reveal a blue and white T-shirt.

I''m a big fan of Paul''s and was surprised to recently learn one of his earliest boyfriend''s died accidently.\ \ From Wikipedia: \ \ "In 1965, Lynde was involved in an accident where his lover, a young actor, fell to his death from the window of their hotel room in San Francisco''s Sir Francis Drake Hotel.

Well, his story isn't over. Filmmaker Dana Nachman, is launching a Kickstarter campaign on July 15th titled Batkid Begins. Thanks to Make-A-Wish, San Francisco was turned into Gotham City for one day, as Miles battled a few Batman rogues and saved the day as Batkid. Nachman captured most of the proceedings but she's turning to kickstarter to complete the documentary, which needs "a soundtrack, graphics and animation, aerial shots of San Francisco and other special effects" to truly complete the project, according to The Wrap. The finish product's proceeds will all go to charity, the Batkid Fund, which benefits charities of the Scott family's choosing.

What kind of parents raise these rapists? I genuinely want to know. Their entitlement comes from somewhere - were they too coddled as children/teenagers? How did they learn to objectify women? Is this a class issue? I know rape happens to all races and classes, but I'm talking about rape at college - these kids' parents' are paying 50K/year for them to go to a school that I've never even heard of. I went to an Ivy and was in the Greek system and never knew or heard any stories about someone being raped. I'm sure it happened but not to 20% of the student body, as this article gives as a sexual harassment/assault statistic. Is it that those higher-achieving kids are just smarter than lower-achieving but similarly classed kids? As a lesbian, this article made me feel sick for these women who are taken advantage of and then taken advantage of again by their own colleges. Rape is a crime and it should be handled in the legal system, not on campus.
There are conflicting reports out about ticket sales for Britney Spears' Vegas concerts ... some are saying sales are disastrously poor ... Brit's people are saying "it's the best-selling show in the history of Vegas." TMZ now has the numbers, and it's pretty clear -- Britney is about to own Vegas. Britney will be performing 48 shows a year for the next 2 years -- according to the contract obtained by TMZ. Tickets are available now for the first 16 shows. We've been on dozens of calls with StubHub, Ticketmaster and Planet Hollywood's box office among others ... and here's what we're told. For the first 16 shows ... a total of 73,600 tickets were up for sale. The number of tickets actually sold are impressive -- 70,242. Of the available, remaining, 3,358 tickets, 2,887 are in the nosebleed section. We can't vouch for this being the best selling show ever in Vegas, but it's definitely up there. Britney sources have told us they're actually talking about adding shows, and if that happens Britney will rake in even more than the $15 mil a year she's already guaranteed.

A spin-off to our other Bipolar thread - how do you/did you tell your boyfriend/girlfriend that you were Bipolar? I mean, if you're diagnosed and then start dating, at what point do you tell the person? How do you tell the person? It's not really an icebreaker. You can't hide it forever if you're taking medication. Of course I'm referring to getting involved with someone long-term, not just a fling.

I have an old friend who habitually cancels plans with me, invariably at the last minute. About two years ago I stopped attempting to make plans with her, but she still tries to meet up with me. Against my better judgment, I accepted her invitation to dinner for this Friday. It was pushed to last night, and then to tonight. She just texted me that "Duuuuuude I have the worst stomachache, can we make plans for later this week?" I don't want to be passive-aggressive with her, play games, or blow up. I just want it to stop. I don't take her behavior too personally (though I acknowledge it certainly does indicate a lack of respect for me and my time), and mostly regard it as some expression of a mental disorder. My boyfriend says to simply respond with a voice memo of knowing laughter.

The ratings for Meet The Press continue to crumble as the American people continue to show no interest in the pro-Republican Sunday morning show format. Last week Meet The Press finished third in Sunday show viewership with just over two million viewers. The program trailed both CBS’ Face The Nation, and ABC’s This Week in viewership. Meet The Press has struggled with David Gregory as host, and nothing they are doing to revive the show is working. NBC has contemplated dumping host David Gregory, but the rumored swap of Gregory for Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough could take a bad situation and make it exponentially worse. There have been reports of conflicts among the Meet The Press staff with David Gregory over the style and substance of the show. NBC has tried to reinvent Meet The Press by doing more taped segments outside of their Washington, D.C. studio, but viewership isn’t turning around. The problems surrounding David Gregory’s disconnect with the audience and issues with guests are well known. A deeper issue the fact that the guest structure of Meet The Press is turning off a large segment of the political audience. Most of the Sunday morning shows are heavily biased towards Republicans. In 2013, three of the four English language broadcast network Sunday shows gave the majority of their solo interviews to conservatives. Face The Nation, Meet The Press, and Fox News Sunday all favored conservatives. Meet The Press favored the right over the left by a margin of 48%-35%. Right-wing guests outnumbered left-wing guests on Face The Nation, Meet The Press and Fox News Sunday for the entire year last year. Many blamed David Gregory for this pro-Republican bias, but Republicans outnumbered Democrats 2 to 1 when Tim Russert hosted Meet The Press. The difference between Gregory and Russert is that Russert was better at giving off an air of objectivity, even if his show was fundamentally the same as Gregory’s. Meet The Press is declining because the country is changing. Shows that are dominated by conservative and Republican guests are reflective of a majority of the country. As the Republicans have moved more to the right, the Sunday shows have become a platform for their radical views. Instead of keeping up with the leftward social shift in America, the Sunday shows are interviewing Rick Perry and giving John McCain a virtually weekly slot on national television. David Gregory is just a symptom. The disease that will eventually kill Meet The Press is pro-Republican bias.

I want to make a private gloryhole in my apartment, but I don't know how to set it up! I get how to physically construct a piece of wood with a hole in it. I've always wondered where does that gloryhole get put up? You just pick a doorway in your house/apartment? If you do, is there a concern of the guy just stealing stuff from your place? For example, if you set up a gloryhole in the doorway to your bathroom, then you have to be inside the bathroom, and your guest will have access from entering your apartment to the bathroom, as well as the rest of your apartment! If you set up the gloryhole at your entryway, then the guy ends up standing in the hallway/outside with his pants down, which also wouldn't work. Those of you who have set these up before, how does this get done, and do you ever have the concern of the guy just stealing stuff from you? If it's set up in the garage or shed, that makes a bit more sense, but what about in your apartment? Or is it always in the garage/shed? Thanks!

This was a LONG movie and seemed to take forever to get to its point. I thought the ending was kind of anti-climactic. But Anne Baxter is the real standout in this film. She definitely earned her Oscar playing the drunk widow. That scene with her and Gene Tierney and the Perpovska was so suspenseful!

Having gotten wonderful and helpful answers about whether Britons actually eat baked beans for breakfast, I would like some advice about how to prepare a most satisfactory cup of tea. As an American, my first reach is for a mug of strong coffee. But now, instead of getting a second one at the office, I am drinking tea instead. While I appreciate that how one takes their tea will differ from person to person (I enjoy a little cream and a half teaspoon of sugar...never liked lemon in my tea), I wondered if perhaps there are techniques or tips that you, the undisputed masters of tea, could impart? For example, I am using tea bags. Should I get a teapot and strainer and use loose tea instead? Also, I drink Bigelow's "English Teatime" (it's what the company stocks the kitchen with), which I find acceptable. Is Bigelow's acceptable from your perspective, or would you recommend a different brand? Thanks in advance!

I was watching The Graduate on TV a couple of nights ago and it reminded me of being twenty years old, new to New York (from England) and how several times I was practically raped by older married women friends of my parents who I thought were just being nice, inviting me over because I was new to the city. Clearly I was very naive (just like Ben at the beginning of The Graduate)...also I was gay, so not the least bit interested. One time, a family friend, married with three kids, came to NY from Chicago and called ahead and asked if I'd like to meet up and join her and her friends, as her guest, for dinner and the new Tom Stoppard on B'way and I was practically raped at The Stanhope. She seemed amazed that all I was interested in was dinner at a top NY restaurant and the hot Broadway show and that my enthusiasm to join them wasn't anything to do with her forty-five year old body. Likewise my mother's married best friend had me over to dinner and the same thing happened. Finally I got the message that older women friends of my parents weren't just interested in being 'nice' to this new kid in town. Also that New York women over forty were far more predatory than their London counterparts. Anyone else here have stories of Mrs. Robinsons?

Oh God, she's still a delusional mess! In a new interview with the San Francisco Examiner, Jackson talks about his upcoming part in Ryan Murphy’s HBO pilot about open relationships. Jackson, himself in sober recovery, will play a meth addict. Teasing the new HBO show, the actor, who has already appeared nude onstage, admits he has no caveats when it comes to getting naked for his HBO role "only" if it’s “germane to the story.” In September, Jackson filed for divorce. A month later, he publicly began dating a fellow actor. At the same time, Jackson shaved his head, grew a mustache and got Elvis Presley lyrics tattooed on his arm. The media labeled the drastic transition for the once clean-cut actor as a sign of a midlife crisis. “I have had quite a difficult and transitional year. Despite this newfound reputation as a 38-year-old bad boy, Jackson said settling down and raising a family is something he’s always wanted.“I have known I was going to be a dad as long as I can remember,” he said. Addressing the daily barrage of twitter and Instagram selfies Jackson has been posting of himself kissing his new boyfriend. Cheyenne tagged his latest selfies WeAreWellAwareHowAnnoyingWeAre
My mouse stopped scrolling up and down this morning. It literally stopped in the middle of a scroll down. The up scroll continued to work ok and then that also completely stopped mid scroll. I have Googled on and off most of the day trying to find a fix, but nothing is working. I have uninstalled and then installed again, I have gone into places in my computer that I never dared enter before and clicked on 'ok' or 'enter' with my heart in my throat from fearing that I would fuck up the computer forever. Still no scrolling action. I read it has to do with Google Chrome interfacing with Windows or IE, but I really don't understand any of it. Do I have to wait for them to fix it or does anyone here have a fix. I miss my wheel action! It's a pain in the ass using up and down arrows.

If DL were prime time all the time, there'd be no trolls (or far fewer). I know this suggestion will get people screaming. But I don't understand how someone who can afford to buy a computer, can't find $18 a year to spend on something he enjoys doing.

We never talk about her work. I love The Member of the Wedding and The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

When Shawnetta Newburn left her drug-infested St. Louis neighborhood in search of a better life for her family in Las Vegas, she didn't expect to live in a house with frills worthy of a McMansion. But Paradise awaited. That's the name of the gated community where Ms. Newburn, a single mother who makes $10.50 an hour as a pawn-shop cashier, rents a three-bedroom townhouse with soaring ceilings, a gas-fueled fireplace and an oversize walk-in closet in the largest bedroom. The master bath even includes an enclosed toilet room, a feature popular in mini-mansions. "The only time I ever saw that was on TV or something," she says during a tour of the approximately 2,000-square-foot home. "I never thought I'd have anything like this." The development has a kidney-shaped swimming pool. Her previous apartment in St. Louis resembled public housing, she says, and her three sons were crammed into one bedroom. After her refrigerator caught fire, her landlord replaced it with an outdated brown model. She now has gleaming-white appliances. Ms. Newburn can thank the housing bust. She participates in a government program for low-income families that subsidizes about half of her $1,400 monthly rent. The program, known as Section 8, has for decades put families in functional but basic homes and apartments, sometimes in less-than-desirable communities. But overbuilding during the housing boom has left so many homes available that landlords, desperate for renters, are wooing Section 8 recipients, whose government subsidies, delivered electronically, guarantee the landlord gets paid. As a result, Section 8 recipients suddenly have a housing smorgasbord. Plenty of average housing stock remains in many places, but in certain markets, there are also more upscale selections. On the website GoSection8.com, landlords nationwide tout boom-era showpieces%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%94replete with "great rooms," backyard swimming pools and built-in stainless-steel barbecue grills%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%94that once sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Las Vegas has been one of the nation's hardest-hit real-estate markets. Some renters are getting pickier. "More and more, I'm seeing tenants turn down places," says Arman Davtyan, owner of seven Las Vegas properties rented to Section 8 tenants. Instead, they're going for "another property that's either bigger or in a better area or has more bedrooms," he says. "Before, they tended to take whatever they could get."(story continues at link)

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

Now that it's been canceled, staffers from Rosies disastrous talk show are coming forward with behind-the-scenes revelations about what really went on with the former Queen of Nice. “It was such a fucking hellhole,” one former staffer told The Daily Beast in an in-depth look at what went wrong with the show. There were O'Donnell's frequent clashes with The Rosie Show staff, and the host often lost her temper. During one taping last fall, "O’Donnell uncontrollably yelled at a publicist backstage because she didn’t like the parameters agreed upon for an interview." Several staffers were also very upset "when O’Donnell clashed with Oprah Winfrey’s longtime director Joe Terry. People thought she humiliated him when she scolded him in front of a live audience for using the wrong camera shots, suggesting he didn’t know what he was doing. She fired Winfrey’s stage manager because she felt like he was ignoring her and not doing his job properly." She was also unhappy with her bandleader, Katreese Barnes from Saturday Night Live, because he couldn’t play obscure Broadway songs off the cuff right when she named them on live TV. “I’m not upset that I don’t know Into the Woods by heart. A little heads-up would have been nice," Barnes said. And in what is seen as a final insult to the staff, on Friday, when the cancellation was publicly announced with a glowing statement by Oprah Winfrey herself, Rosie was not in Chicago to personally break the news to her crew. She was in New York tweeting about what a great time she was having on Broadway.

I'm a college English professor at a liberal arts college, and lately on our campus (and on others across the nation) it's as if there's this echo effect from the culture wars of the early 1990s. Almost out of the blue our students are objecting to representations "triggering" sexual trauma--any depiction of rape or forceful sex, whether it be in Ovid or Thomas Hardy, is objected to by our students, and they demand we tell them ahead of time and not discuss it in class (or that they be allowed to be excused from class when we discuss it). Even more sudden has been the obsession with transsexuals and how to treat them properly. They're constantly accusing one another of being transphobic or asserting "cis privilege" at what seems like the drop of a hat. It's not that I don't believe that transsexuals are badly treated, but the accusation of "cis privilege" is ridiculous.

Gets a rave review in Guardian. I find it fascinating that Linklater kept the filming a secret for so many years (for those who don't know about the film, it chronicles the life of a boy and his family over 11 real years). He is a great director and I love that he is not a shameless self-promoter. He just sort of keeps it really quiet and announces his films when they're ready to be shown. Any other DLers like his work?
She's almost 50 and hasn't produced an album since 2008. She's also no longer under a recording contract. She's married to a supposed billionaire.
On Netflix in a few hours. I'm one of those who thought the first season was pretty good, but could be better. They've got a new showrunner and from this trailer it looks like Famke has lost the horrible accent, so ... so far so good!

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

[quote]Rosie O'Donnell has made her deal with "The View" ... sources connected with the negotiations tell TMZ. We're told the show will make the announcement shortly. TMZ broke the story ... the negotiations fired up a few days ago and the deal was almost completed by end of business day Monday. The deal is now complete. Rosie will join Whoopi Goldberg on the show. As we reported, producers are also looking for a Latina and a conservative. Two conservative candidates who are being scoped are Abby Huntsman and Margaret Hoover.

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

There is evidence at least 20 prominent figures - including former MPs and government ministers - abused children for "decades", a former child protection manager has claimed. Peter McKelvie, whose allegations led initially to a 2012 police inquiry, said a "powerful elite" of paedophiles carried out "the worst form" of abuse. The government has already announced two reviews into claims of abuse. The Home Office's top civil servant will appear before MPs later. BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson said the child abuse probes had been spurred on by "dramatic shifts in public attitudes". Permanent secretary Mark Sedwill will face questions from the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee about his department's handling of child abuse allegations made over a 20-year period. 'Almost exclusively boys' Announcing the reviews in the House of Commons on Monday, Home Secretary Theresa May said the first would be a wide-ranging inquiry - similar to the inquiry into the Hillsborough disaster - led by an independent panel of experts on law and child protection. The second review - which is to be led by head of the NSPCC Peter Wanless - would cover how police and prosecutors handled information given to them, she told MPs. Jump media playerMedia player helpOut of media player. Press enter to return or tab to continue. Home Secretary Theresa May: "With allegations as serious as these, the public needs to have complete confidence" The chairman of the wider inquiry is expected to be named and the inquiry's terms of reference are set to be unveiled on Tuesday. These may or may not include allowing evidence from alleged victims of abuse. Following the announcements, Mr McKelvie - giving his first television interview for 20 years - told the BBC he believed there was evidence to link a number of former politicians to an alleged paedophile network. "I would say we are looking at upwards of 20 (people) and a much larger number of people who have known about it and done nothing about it, who were in a position to do something about it," he said. Mr McKelvie said some of those who were alleged to have abused children had now died. He told the BBC he had spoken to victims over "many, many years" and that children - "almost exclusively boys" - were moved around like "lumps of meat". They had been subjected to the "worst form of abuse", including rape, he said. Mr McKelvie was a child protection manager in Hereford and Worcester and worked on the conviction of paedophile Peter Righton - a former consultant to the National Children's Bureau. Righton, who is now dead, was also a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), before he was convicted of importing child pornography. However, Mr McKelvie told the BBC that the evidence discovered in the case went much further than simply Righton. 'Boxes of evidence' Mr McKelvie - who had access to documents relating to paedophile networks linked to the Righton inquiry - said he told police in 2012 there were seven boxes of potential evidence being stored by West Mercia police. He said the evidence included letters between Righton and other alleged paedophiles. In 2012, Mr McKelvie took his concerns to Labour MP Tom Watson, who then raised the matter in Parliament, prompting a preliminary police inquiry in 2012 that became a formal inquiry in 2013.

My straight friend and I went out drinking last night, or actually he was drinking and I didn't because I was the designated driver. Then when I was driving me home, he told me he wanted to know what sex with a guy was like. So we got some lube, went to a secluded place and I sucked his dick, then he fucked me. I tried to fuck him, but as I finally got in it was too much for him. He said right off the bat it was a one-time thing and that we would never discuss it again.
My friend has just discovered, after his father's death, that his father had two other families – common-law wives and adult children. Both came forward at least in part for financial reasons. This had all been kept from my friend and his family for many years. He is most upset for his mother who is humiliated and angry. Yes, my friend is French and apparently this is not entirely uncommon in France among the upper middle class. Could you imagine this happening in the US? It would be on the cover of People magazine.
Apparently he was a sports reporter in Pittsburgh. Just started at KABC Channel 7 in Los Angeles as the news anchor this weekend. He may have on air experience, but so far, he looks like a deer caught in the headlights.

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

More has been learned about the police officer in in San Francisco previously known only as The Hot Cop of Castro His name is Chris Kohrs and a Facebook page has been dedicated to his hunkiness. Kohrs hadn’t done anything to draw attention to himself except for being hunky and doing his job as a patrol officer in one of the gayest neighborhoods in the US – the neighborhood where Harvey Milk launched his political career. But a few candids of the Kohrs began to show up on blogs, including one posted on social media in May taken by celebrated author Armistead Maupin of Tales of the City fame. Wrote Maupin then: ‘I told him he had become something of celebrity on the web to which he replied with a sly smile: “So I’m told.” He graciously consented to a picture then sent us on our way with: “You guys have a nice day.”’ Kohrs’ fan page has more than 2,000 followers and he has shared a few additional photos for his newfound fans including one from the recent Pride celebration. ‘I noticed there weren’t any pride pics on my page,’ he wrote to the page’s creator. ‘I think I should have at least one to show my support! Can u post this one?’ ‘Whenever you get a chance if you could once in awhile let the supporters of the fan page know that I appreciate all their support I would appreciate that.’

Puerto Rican pro boxer comes out as gay by Scott Roberts 4 October 2012, 11:40am The world of boxing now has its first openly gay professional fighter who has come out whilst his career is still active. Puerto Rican featherweight Orlando Cruz has said that he is indeed a gay man. The 31-year-old released a statement to the media saying: “I’ve been fighting for more than 24 years and as I continue my ascendant career, I want to be true to myself. “I want to try to be the best role model I can be for kids who might look into boxing as a sport and a professional career. “I have and will always be a proud Puerto Rican. I have always been and always will be a proud gay man.” Cruz has been boxing since he was seven and has won seven national titles and seven international gold medals. He turned pro shortly after the Sydney Olympic Games and won his first professional fight on 15 December 2000 against Alfredo Valdez. He will be taking on Jorge Pazos in the ring in Florida on 19 October. According to BoxRec, Cruz is currently the No. 2 ranked featherweight in the United States and will be hoping to defend his WBO Latino featherweight title. Cruz now joins a growing list of gay professional sports starts such as retired rugby player Gareth Thomas, Swedish footballer Anton Hysen, England cricketer Steven Davies and gold medal Olympic equestrian star Carl Hester.

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

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

Exorcist writer William Peter Blatty is metaphorically vomiting split pea soup on the very institution that inspired his blockbuster book and multi-million dollar film franchise. The 85-year-0ld horror writer has gone on the record saying that Georgetown University, where the Exorcist was originally set and where he earned his Master’s degree in 1950, failed to adhere to Catholic principles, and should therefore be stripped of its Jesuit affiliation. Blatty is outraged by the university’s commitment to and support of the LGBT community, most notably the appointment of Georgetown’s first openly gay student body president, Nate Tisa, in March. Other reasons for his drama? The university once hosted the “the vile play” The Vagina Monologues. The university invited openly gay Georgetown alum Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) to give a speech on campus The university provides sexual health education to students, including a pro-choice advocacy group. In the past, Blatty has credited the scholarship he received from the university for helping to launch his writing career. Evidently, however, enough time has passed that he feels it’s okay to bite the hand that once fed him. Two months after Tisa was appointed student body president, Blatty began circulating a 198-page petition condemning the university for promoting a culture of “moral relativism” and an ideology of “radical autonomy.” Along with the petition, Blatty’s lawyer, Manuel A. Miranda, released the following statement: “The Petition we submit today is 198 pages, 476 footnotes, 91 appendices, 124 witness statements, a commissioned 120-page institutional audit of Georgetown, a sworn certification of facts, and a legal opinion. We have documented 23 years of Scandals and dissidence, over 100 Scandals in the most recent years alone.” Seriously? He could have written a new book with the work that went into 198 pages, 476 footnotes, 91 appendices, and 124 witness statements. The petition garnered more than 2,000 signatures from Georgetown alumni, and was sent to Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, along with the ultimatum: either better regulate the university, or strip it of its Catholic identity. “The petition’s primary aim is very much akin to pressuring someone that you love very much into going into rehab,” Blatty told the New York Times. In response to the Blatty’s petition, 1,200 Georgetown alumni, students, parents, teachers, and other supporters delivered their own petition to the Cardinal, asking that the university be allowed to continue to call itself Catholic and Jesuit. Georgetown’s Director of Communications Rachel Pugh released the following statement: “Our Catholic and Jesuit identity on campus has never been stronger. Academically, we remain committed to the Catholic intellectual tradition… We are proud of the countless ways that our students put their faith into action through service and justice programs.” Blatty, of course, was none to happy about this. On July 1, he responded with a dancing metaphor that was not on par with his literary heyday: “Georgetown’s defense is like a dancer doing pirouettes on the edge of the absurd.” Blatty’s most recent novel was published in 2010 and is titled Crazy, a word that unintentionally sums up his most recent actions. No word yet on what Cardinal Wuerl plans to do or whether he has even perused the 476 footnotes.
Tell me.
I have only heard bad things, but have never had the misfortune of a being stuck with their insurance. However, I family member who is a member, who does nothing but complain about depression stress, and other increasingly worrisome psychological ailments. I say "Go see a psychologist;" they say "It's Kaiser, it's not that easy!" My question is: How does it work? I believe they have an HMO, but might be wrong. Interestingly enough, I did a fairly extensive search for provider, and come up with nothing--- just a number for their behavioral health centers. Can you not just see an in-network psychologist? Do they really make it harder than all of the other insurance providers?

Breaking news from the Television Critics Association, NBC has just revealed their next mega-TV musical, executive produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron - PETER PAN! The broadcast has been scheduled for December 4, 2014. Featuring the iconic songs "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up," and "Never Never Land," and a book full of magic, warmth, and adventure, PETER PAN is the perfect show for the child in all of us who dreamed of soaring high and never growing up. Based on J.M. Barrie's 1904 play and Barrie's own novelization of it, PETER PAN is a classic tale featuring a score by Morris "Moose" Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green. It is one of the most beloved and frequently performed family favorites of all time. Originally directed and staged by Jerome Robbins, the 1954 Broadway production opened on October 20, 1954 at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York. It starred Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook. Both stars earned Tony Awards for their performances. It was followed by NBC telecasts of it in 1955, 1956, and 1960 with the same stars, plus several rebroadcasts of the 1960 telecast. The show has enjoyed several revivals onstage. In "live plus seven day" results, NBC's Dec. 5 telecast of "The Sound of Music Live" delivered a 5.62 rating in adults 18-49 and 21.837 million viewers overall, adding to the enormous audience the show attracted with its live telecast to make "The Sound of Music Live!" the #1 telecast on all of television for that Dec. 2-8 week in total viewers. Excluding sports, it's NBC's most-watched Thursday since the night of the "Frasier" finale (22.597 million on May 13, 2004). A total of 38.696 million viewers watched at least a portion of the Dec. 5 telecast of "The Sound of Music Live!" Including "live plus three day" results for the Dec. 14 encore, a total of 44.183 million viewers have watched at least a portion of NBC's telecasts of "The Sound of Music Live!" The presentation starred Grammy winner Carrie Underwood as 'Maria,' Audra McDonald ("Private Practice"), who has won five Tony Awards and two Grammys, as Mother Abbess; Stephen Moyer ("True Blood"), as Capt. Georg von Trapp; Tony Award winner Christian Borle ("Smash"), who portrayed von Trapp family friend Max Detweiler; and Tony winner Laura Benanti ("Go On"), who took on the role of Elsa Schrader, the captain's one-time fiancee.

What would you write? I would definitely write about the time that my father laughed when a neighbor told my 7 year-old self that I was fat and shouldn't be eating my Halloween candy. When I called him on it, he told me to shut-up and just lose some weight. I would also write that he could be very kind to everyone in the room when he was in the company of his older, more-successful brother, who secretly terrorized my two girl cousins by screaming at them whenever they made the most minor of infractions. I never knew about the latter until I was an adult.
Do they exist?
What's the dirt on him? Anyone know him or met him? He seems like a sweetheart. I never found him attractive before, certainly not fuckable, but now as I'm watching "Looking", my opinion has shifted. I never watched "Glee" fwiw.
Starts streaming on Netflix June 6! We're just hours away from finding out how dead Pennsatucky might be. Now, please stay tuned for an important grammar lesson from Taystee:
Three years into the disappearance of Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan, Michael Hastings — the journalist whose reporting cost General Stanley McChrystal his job — wrote a Rolling Stone story on the missing soldier, a piece which the magazine called “the definitive first account of Bowe Bergdahl.” Hastings, who died in a car accident in Los Angeles in June 2013, had unparalleled access for that story. He spoke to Bergdahl’s parents, who had by that time stopped talking to the press, following “subtle pressure” from the army, and he quoted from emails the young soldier had sent to them, documenting his growing disillusion with the war and the US military. Hastings also spoke to several unnamed men in Bergdahl’s unit — soldiers who, we now know, had to sign a strict nondisclosure agreement forbidding them from discussing the soldier’s disappearance and search with anyone — let alone one of the top investigative journalists in the country. But most controversially, Hastings’ piece revealed what has been the subject of much debate and vitriol over the last few days: That a disillusioned Bergdahl had actually abandoned his post and “walked away.” At the time of the story’s publication, the media had all but forgotten about Bergdahl — who was released on Saturday after five years in the hands of the Taliban, in exchange for five Guantanamo prisoners. And, with the exception of some initial chatter, Hastings’ piece, which paints a deeply unflattering picture of Bergdahl’s unit and its leadership, hardly had the impact of some of his other investigations. But someone did pay attention to it: the FBI. That, at least, is what was revealed in a heavily redacted document released by the agency following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request — filed on the day of Hastings’ death — by investigative journalist Jason Leopold and Ryan Shapiro, an MIT doctoral student whom the Justice Department once called the “most prolific” requester of FOIA documents. The document, partially un-redacted after Leopold and Shapiro engaged in a lengthy legal battle with the FBI for failing to fulfill its FOIA obligations, singles out Hastings’ Rolling Stone piece — “America’s Last Prisoner of War” — as “controversial reporting.” It names Hastings and Matthew Farwell, a former soldier in Afghanistan and a contributing reporter to Hastings’ piece. 'If this deployment is lame, I’m just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan.' The document also included an Associated Press report based on the Rolling Stone piece, and what it identifies as a “blog entry” penned by Gary Farwell, Matthew’s father — which actually appears to be a comment entry on the Idaho Statesman’s website. “The article reveals private email excerpts, from [redacted] to his parents. The excerpts include quotes about being ‘ashamed to even be American,’ and threats that, ‘If this deployment is lame, I’m just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan,’” the FBI file reads. “The Rolling Stone article ignited a media frenzy, speculating about the circumstances of [redacted] capture, and whether US resources and effort should continue to be expended for his recovery.” 'I’m happy the FBI is reading Rolling Stone on the job.' The FBI file — as well as a Department of Justice document released in response to Leopold and Shapiro’s lawsuit — suggests that Hastings and Farwell’s reporting got swept up into an “international terrorist investigation” into Bergdahl’s disappearance. A spokesperson for the FBI told VICE News that the agency does not normally comment on pending investigations and that it lets FOIA documents “speak for themselves.” The investigation was still pending as of last month, Leopold said. According to the files — and a rare public statement by the FBI following Hastings’ death — Hastings was never directly under investigation by the agency, despite having pissed off a lot of people in very high places. But it is not exactly clear why Hastings and Farwell’s “controversial” reporting made it into a criminal investigation that was already active
Why Was the FBI Investigating Michael Hastings’ Reporting on Bowe Bergdahl?
From worst to best. Not so much by their subsequent commercial success, just how good they are. 11. Lee DeWyze. He's cute and can more or less carry a tune, but doesn't seem particularly inspired. Should not have won. Has faded faster than a Bravo reality tv star. 10. Scotty Mcreery. He's ok. Barely distinguishable from the two or three who won before him. 9. Kris Allen. Really not that bad, although I'm not sure I see an appeal outside suburban coffeehouses. One half-decent Kanye West cover will not carry a career. 8. Ruben Studdard. So unbelievably dull, if he'd been around in the 80s he'd have fallen far behind a much better group of soul crooners (Luther, Peabo, James Ingram, etc.). I do have soft spot for him, though, for having sung Superstar. 7. Fantasia. Can't say I ever "got" her. I thought Jennifer Hudson and Diana DeGarmo were both much better. And what a nails-on-the-chalkboard voice! Ugh. But I'll give her points for being unique. 6. Jordin Sparks. Can't say I remember too much about her, but she strikes me as someone who should be cranking out anonymous gay disco anthems (a la Cascada or Deborah Cox) and not trying to rule Billboard. 5. Taylor Hicks. Often and mercilessly mocked, but I think it's more like he's in the wrong genre. He's a genuine blues guy in a way that few white guys can pull off, but he will never be a pop star. 4. Carrie Underwood. Strong pipes, no doubt, although I wish she didn't look exactly like 50 other country blondes. Great singer, I guess. Zero personality. 3. David Cook. Wildly underrated. Love the smoky voice. Definitely one who I hope can at some point achieve the commercial recognition he deserves. 2. Phillip Phillips. Dumb name, hugely talented. That Home song is good but starting to get irritating. 1. Kelly Clarkson. The first Idol and still far and away the best. A truly stunning talent. I would put her up against anyone (Celine, Mariah, Babs, Whitney, etc.) as the greatest pop singer ever.

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

Could someone explain to me his appeal? He had the worst dress sense of any gay man ever, he didn't have a handsome face and he was balding, he didn't have a great body, he didn't have a great voice. He was a decent dancer, but no great shakes. Why did he sell out Radio City Music Hall? I'm not talking about Hugh Jackman as Peter Allen--I'm talking about the actual Peter Allen.

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

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

I am enjoying it thoroughly. Anyone watching? I like the actress playing the lead character and her clones, and really enjoy the gay foster brother (I've always had a thing for hot campy guys). Maria Doyle Kennedy does "woebegone and stern" very well (The Tudors; Downton), but I have a feeling she'll get a chance to show more as the foster mom/grandmother as this goes on. Is the setting supposed to be Toronto?
"I would like Elisabeth to explain herself," she said. "What does she mean by that? And isn't it kind of a nasty thing to say about somebody who basically is a good person?"

Joy Behar Criticizes Elisabeth Hasselbeck's 'Hate-Filled Remark' About Rosie O'Donnell
As President Obama heads to Texas to talk with Governor Rick Perry about the surge of undocumented children from Latin America crossing the border, Australia is facing a long-simmering immigration crisis of its own. For years, refugees from Asia have boarded unsafe boats and tried to land Down Under, sometimes with tragic results. An Australia-bound boat carrying 200 men sank in June 2012, with about 90 people suspected to have died. That was just one of a series of fatal incidents since 2010 in which boat people died trying to find refuge in Australia. Tony Abbott, the conservative prime minister who won election last year while promising to crack down on asylum seekers, is determined to avoid the fate of his Labor Party predecessors. Julia Gillard, prime minister at the time of the 2012 sinking, fumbled the immigration issue and eventually became the victim of a party coup by former premier Kevin Rudd—who went on to lose the general election to Abbott’s Liberal-National coalition in September. “It is indisputable that the right to seek and enjoy asylum applies to people regardless of their mode of arrival,” the Australian Human Rights Commission said in a statement published Friday. “It would be a flagrant violation of international human rights and refugee law to return asylum seekers to their country [of] origin without conducting a fair and robust assessment of their claims.” Abbott doesn’t seem to mind. Undeterred by the criticism, he also wants to send back another 153 Sri Lankan Tamils recently intercepted at sea in a separate boat. In an interview with Australian television’s Channel Nine today, he said Australia won’t be held “over a moral barrel” on the issue.

$1 million may seem like a hefty annual salary to the average person, but for PR maven Kelly Cutrone, it can go quickly. The 48-year-old single mom and founder of fashion publicity firm People's Revolution, known for her various reality TV appearances, tells the Huffington Post: 'I personally have made a million dollars a year - that's not a lot of money anymore, just do the math.' She proceeds to break down her largest expenses: 'The taxes alone are at $300,000-$400,000. Then you have agents and managers and business managers that take another 5 percent, throw in private school in New York City, that's like $44,000. Ms Cutrone, who lives in New York’s swanky Soho neighborhood with her 12-year-old daugter Ava, adds: 'A nanny is like $60,000 to $70,000. I support my mom. A New York apartment, $8,000. A mortgage on my house, another $5,000 and $24,000 in taxes there. It's $650 a month to park my car.' In addition to running her successful company, Ms Cutrone, 48, was a recurring character on MTV's The Hills and its spinoff, The City, serving as a mentor to Whitney Port. Her persona as a tough-as-nails fashion boss made her a fan favorite, and she subsequently earned her own Bravo reality series, Kell on Earth, which lasted for a season in 2010. Her small-screen stints proved surprisingly lucrative. 'I went on the The Hills for free. I thought this is a great way to get my clients' messages out. By the time I left I was making a shit load of money -- like $50,000 an episode. So you do 12 episodes and you make $600,000 dollars - that to me is a good game,' she tells the Huffington Post. The exposure also led to a judging gig on America's Next Top Model and a New York Times best-seller. In 2010, she imparted her blunt career advice in If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You. She cites her TV work as a reason for her longevity in the fashion world, observing: 'I've had a great level of success, more than most people in my industry, and I still have to work every day. 'The people who I know who have owned PR firms either end up in rehab, they go swim with dolphins, they join Greenpeace, they join a lesbian commune in Vermont or they quietly go away and you don't see them anymore.'
The Hills character Kelly Cutrone: "$1 Million Isn't A Lot of Money Anymore"
Many, many actresses turned down this role because they knew Joan Crawford, though dead since 1977, still had friends in high in places in 1981 Hollywood.\ \ Faye Dunaway took the part, and is said to have regretted it ever since. She says that it ruined her career, and others seem to agree that she was, in fact, blacklisted.\ \ Let''s gossip about this quintessentially gay topic.
James Bond is English and most of the actors who have played the role are English themselves like Daniel Craig. The reason I ask this is because Michael Fassbender looks to be about the right age to play Bond (and he will play it, peeps, if he got the change [see Assassin's creed, x-men and 300]; he won't reject the role because it's too "fluffy"). I posted a thread about him playing James Bond and most of the posters gave him a thumbs down. I can't help but wonder if it's because he looks German. It is a traditionally English role who is now going to be played by a German looking actor and I think people may have problems with that even if he is only half German.

I have not seen 1 or 2 in 6-7 years and decided to watch on HBO on Demand. I always thought the 2nd film was better (and wasn't it more critically acclaimed than the 1st?) but my god the first one is by far the best. Much more plot driven than part 2, but much more exciting... James Caan is sexy has hell too! Any fans? (I love mob films)

JUNE 26, 2014 The Bloomberg big-soda ban is officially dead. The state’s highest court on Thursday refused to reinstate New York City’s controversial limits on sales of jumbo sugary drinks, exhausting the city’s final appeal and handing a major victory to the American soft-drink industry, which bitterly opposed the plan. In a 20-page opinion, Judge Eugene F. Pigott Jr. of the New York State Court of Appeals wrote that the city’s Board of Health “exceeded the scope of its regulatory authority” in enacting the proposal, which was championed by former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. Two lower courts had already ruled against the city, saying it overreached in attempting to prohibit the purchase of sugared drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces, about the size of a medium coffee cup. By a 4-to-2 vote, the justices Thursday upheld the earlier rulings. Mayor Bill de Blasio, a frequent critic of Mr. Bloomberg but a supporter of the soda proposal, said he was “extremely disappointed” by Thursday’s ruling, saying it was “irrefutable” that sugary drinks has detrimental effects on health. The mayor said he would review other options for the city to combat obesity, but his team did not immediately specify what other steps might be taken. In the ruling, the judges said the City Council was the proper body to enact a policy of such sweep and complexity as the soda limits. The Council Speaker, Melissa Mark-Viverito, is a longtime opponent of the proposal, and she said on Thursday she was pleased with the court’s decision. The decision most likely will be seen as a significant defeat for public health advocates who have urged state and local governments to actively discourage the consumption of high-calorie beverages, saying the drinks are prime drivers of a nationwide epidemic of obesity. And it could also have long-term implications for the powers of the city’s Board of Health, the agency that has been the primary engine behind high-profile health initiatives like banning trans fats in restaurants and posting calorie counts on menus. In a blistering dissent of the opinion, Judge Susan P. Read wrote that the ruling ignored decades of precedent in which the Board of Health was given broad purview to address public health matters, such as regulating the city’s water supply and banning the use of lead paint in homes. The opinion, Judge Read wrote, “misapprehends, mischaracterizes and thereby curtails the powers of the New York City Board of Health to address the public health threats of the early 21st century.” One justice in the majority, Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam, seemed to share those concerns, writing in a separate concurrence that “no one should read today’s decision too broadly.” Dr. Mary T. Bassett, the city’s health commissioner, said in a statement issued later Thursday that the ruling “does not change the fact that sugary-drink consumption is a key driver of the obesity epidemic.” “We will continue to look for ways to stem the twin epidemics of obesity and Type 2 diabetes by seeking to limit the pernicious effects of aggressive and predatory marketing of sugary drinks and unhealthy foods,” she wrote.

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

Has anyone else noticed this keeps appearing in the sidebars of Facebook? Is he attempting to be relevant again with teens or 20-somethings? The guy has been over for several years now. If anything, he needs to try a new approach or court a new demographic. He's bound to have tons of money by now, he's been around since I was a kid, and I'm no spring chicken. Why can't he just face the fact that he's no desired TV host or late night comedian?

Normally, I don't pay any mind to click bait I find on the Internet, but a post from TIME Magazine entitled "Dear White Gays: Stop Stealing Black Female Culture" published on July 9, 2014 came to my attention. After reading it, I was surprised that TIME Magazine, arguably one of the most reputable magazines in the world had been the one to publish it. In it, the author Sierra Mannie explains in great detail how she is tired of seeing gay white men emulate strong African-American females because we don't know how it feels to be African-American and therefore should stop. I was very fortunate to grow up with parents who were always very open to anyone no matter their race. We never said nasty things about the color of another person's skin -- it's simply not how I was brought up. I don't see the color of people's skins, I see people. I know I only speak for myself when I say that and not everyone, but I think it's a great way to live life. I am not a black woman nor do I have any idea the struggles that black women have to go through an a daily basis, therefore I cannot speak to the trials and tribulations of the African America plight because I am white. I can sympathize and try to make the world a better place, but I certainly cannot imagine what it is like to be an African-American woman so I do not expect an African-American woman to try and explain to me what it's like being a homosexual white male because you don't know what you are talking about. Several times in the article, Ms. Mannie explains that "black people can't have anything," but Ms. Mannie, who is a resident of the state of Mississippi can get married to whomever she'd like and can also not be fired for being African-American, two privileges that a homosexual white male cannot have in the state of Mississippi and many other parts of the country. We also live in a country where -- and I'm sorry to say this -- but homophobia is far more socially accepted than racism. Large companies can donate large amounts of money to anti-gay funds who actively fight against gay rights. But if you worked for said-large company and said something negative about the color of someone else's skin, you would be fired immediately. She continues: "What is extremely unfairly denied you because of your sexuality could float back to you, if no one knew that you preferred the romantic and sexual company of men over women." Is Ms. Mannie telling me that I shouldn't be the loud-and-proud homosexual man I want to be in order to get ahead in life? Should I pretend to be straight in order to get what I want? The modern gay man doesn't find it necessary to undo years of gay rights in order to get ahead. We strive for change to -- just as you do and don't need you to tell us differently. We are very fortunate to live in a time when there are so many fabulous African-American women leading the charge in entertainment and culture. Oprah, Beyonce and Janet Jackson are strong women who have not only entertained us for years, but have enlightened many people about cultures, literature and music that they may have not been privy to before these and many other women exposed them to it. These women, along with countless others, have torn down racial boundaries by becoming not only relevant for African-American women, but culturally relevant for everyone in the world. That says a lot about how far we have come as a society. So, if a gay man wants to dress up and act like Beyonce -- let him. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and it's a pretty sure bet that there was a gay man behind many of the gorgeous gowns and outrageous hairdos that Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle and Beyonce have graced the stage in over the past few decades. African-American women and gay men share many of the same interests when it comes to socializing and what we find entertaining. I think it's something that we should embrace not scrutinize. After all, where are the fabulous gay male pop stars for us to emulate? White gay men will never know what it actually feels like to be an African-American woman but at the same time, you will never know what it feels like to be a gay man. We take things from all cultures -- black or white, straight or gay -- to find our own identity and make them personal to us and you can never take that away from anyone. That is what makes everyone unique. I think it's time that we celebrate each other and stop telling other groups what to like, how to act and what to do. It's 2014 and we live in a country that is more progressive than it has even been before. Let's continue to make strides in bringing people together and stop publishing articles that tare the other group apart for the sake of getting clicks. I don't tell African-American women what to like and how to act, so please try to do the same for me.
from CADN After six years of shooting five days a week, Nathan Fillion would like to work just four days a week. You know, because making $20M is hard when you have to work five days a week for six months and only get a four month break and an additional 8 weeks of vacation. I feel for the guy. So, he decided to skip work one day last week and gave himself a three day weekend. Apparently he is going to skip work every Friday until they give him a three day weekend every week. If they give everyone a three day weekend, that is great, but he is more concerned about himself. I don't have any sympathy for him. None. He makes a ton of money and I don't care of he works 12 hours a day for those 5 days each week. He still works way fewer hours than people who work 40 hours a week and he gets paid a ton of money. If he hates, it, then quit. Go work somewhere else and let me know when they you start making that kind of money again.

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

Infant gender assignment: unnecessary and potentially harmful Obstetricians, doctors, and midwives commit this procedure on infants every single day, in every single country. In reality, this treatment is performed almost universally without even asking for the parents' consent, making this practice all the more insidious. It's called infant gender assignment: When the doctor holds your child up to the harsh light of the delivery room, looks between its legs, and declares his opinion: It's a boy or a girl, based on nothing more than a cursory assessment of your offspring's genitals. We tell our children, “You can be anything you want to be.” We say, “A girl can be a doctor, a boy can be a nurse,” but why in the first place must this person be a boy and that person be a girl? Your infant is an infant. Your baby knows nothing of dresses and ties, of makeup and aftershave, of the contemporary social implications of pink and blue. As a newborn, your child's potential is limitless. The world is full of possibilities that every person deserves to be able to explore freely, receiving equal respect and human dignity while maximizing happiness through individual expression. With infant gender assignment, in a single moment your baby's life is instantly and brutally reduced from such infinite potentials down to one concrete set of expectations and stereotypes, and any behavioral deviation from that will be severely punished—both intentionally through bigotry, and unintentionally through ignorance. That doctor (and the power structure behind him) plays a pivotal role in imposing those limits on helpless infants, without their consent, and without your informed consent as a parent. This issue deserves serious consideration by every parent, because no matter what gender identity your child ultimately adopts, infant gender assignment has effects that will last through their whole life.

My gay friend and I went out drinking last night, or actually he was drinking and I didn't because it's bikini season and I need to be skinny. Then when I was driving him home, he told me he wanted to know what sex with a guy like me was like. So we got some lube, poppers, sex toys and locked the doors, lowered the blinds, and went and I sucked his dick, then he fucked me. I tried to fuck him, but i rarely top, it just doesn't look that good, ya know? He said right off the bat it was a one-time thing and then was a total bitch to me and that we could never contact each other on scruff, Grindr badoo or whatever ever again.

I've never watched QAF. I was never interested in watching a TV series about gay men. But June is bustin' out all over, and because it's June, June, June, June, just because it's June, June, June, I've decided to watch QAF since it's on Netflix. I've only watched the first two episodes. My favorite character is Hal Sparks. It's too bad he's completely straight. There is something about him that's just CUTE. For a supposedly straight guy, Gale Harold is really good at playing a gay guy. He has gay face. But he's really straight?!
During the week, 34-year-old Ottawa native Jimmy is happily married to Judy, 35. They have two children, ages three and four. Jimmy is a project manager for the government, and he often travels for his job. Judy is a teacher. They have been together since high school. Jimmy takes his vows seriously and would never leave Judy, because he loves her and his children. Not only do he and his wife share children and friends, they also do sporting activities and go on vacations together. They are both very active people. They have a great life together. But Judy can’t give Jimmy everything he needs. During the weekend, Jimmy loves sucking men’s cocks. He feels he needs this quiet outlet away from his vanilla heterosexual lifestyle. But if Judy were privy to this secret, he fears she would leave him. “I started cruising for men as an army cadet in my late teens. I went out of town a lot and realized I liked oral sex with men, but I didn’t want to be labelled gay or bisexual. I also didn’t want to lose Judy,” says Jimmy. Aside from the odd out-of-town bathhouse, Jimmy says he meets most of these men on Craigslist. He posts a free ad, usually consisting of the words “I’m looking for a guy to please.” He specifies that he’s looking only for oral, not anal, evenings before 10pm, aged 40 and under. Throughout the workday, Jimmy checks his BlackBerry for emails from a nondescript Gmail account. Pictures of penises, abs, daddies and trans men are sent from guys looking for an after-dinner assignation. He’s picky and only goes out a few times a month.

I recently watched shame and speculated that the two main characters were molested when they were young. One turned to be a sex addict, the other clingy. What are your thoughts on the movie and sexual abuse in general?
Agree or disagree? His acting in this film has been much maligned, but I'm watching it for the first time in years, and it's actually very good as "Death" who is adjusting to being, and pretending to be, a mortal. Anthony Hopkins' acceptance of death is also a wonderful moment of acting and representative of how many would want to face and accept death.

This was a request made, so there you go. What music of the 80's didn't suck? Please provide a short or long explanation for your choices. My choices are: -X, Los Angeles and Wild Gift: the latter cd is so much better than all the other punk cds out there, not that there isn't plenty of competition -Dead Kennedy's: underrated group, they sang the best version of I Fought the Law -Yaz: more capable of emotion than early depeche mode -Depeche mode: some of their songs are still very good -New Order: a new wave band you can take as seriously as some of the great punk bands) -early U2: Bono wasn't totally full of himself and his strident attitude was refreshing, especially on songs like New Years Day -Siouxsie and the Banshees: great cover of Dear Prudence and other great songs like Spellbound and Arabian Knights -Slick Rick: you gotta love those sing-song rhymes -Husker Du: a huge nirvana influence, but I like their music even more so. It has a rough-around-the-edges quality that I really like. For ballads, I will take the Replacements, but when that doesn't happen (and that's most of the time), I like Husker Du better. Also, I only found out Grant and bob were gay later, but it makes me appreciate their music more. -Bad Brains: I have a huge issue with their homophobia, but the impact of their music cannot be denied. They sang both hardcore punk and reggae and I cannot think of any 80's band that could play faster or harder than they could. -Jesus and Mary Chain: I still love the sound of Psychocandy even if I haven't listened to it like I did in college. It manages to be as catchy as 60's pop and more aggressive than the Ramones.

[quote]Latvia's Prime Minister hit back on Friday at Paul Krugman's criticism of Latvia's austerity measures, saying the Nobel Prize-winning economist has "difficulty admitting his own mistake." [quote]"Krugman famously said back in December 2008 that Latvia is the new Argentina, it will inevitably go bankrupt, and now he has difficulty apparently admitting he was wrong and so he tries to seek some problems in how Latvia is recovering from the economic crisis," Latvian leader Valdis Dombrovskis told CNBC in an interview at the EU summit in Brussels. "But I think that the mere fact that for the last two years we are enjoying rapid growth shows that it was probably the right strategy." [quote]"We're looking at a Depression-level slump, and 5 years later only a partial bounceback; unemployment is down but still very high, and the decline has a lot to do with emigration. It's not what you'd call a triumphant success story," he (Krugman)continued Meanwhile, in the US, we went with a large stimulus and...we're looking at a Depression-level slump, and 5 years later only a partial bounceback; unemployment is down but still very high, and the decline has a lot to do with individuals leaving the labor force.

Media Matters analyzed 195 columns by Dowd since November 1993 containing significant mentions of Clinton for whether they included any of 16 negative tropes in five categories (listed in the below methodology). 72 percent (141 columns) were negative towards Clinton -- only 8 percent (15 columns) were positive.

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

I'm a little curious about this. I read that all of the scenes from when Sophia's character was pre-whatever word is not offensive were played by her twin brother. Those were some of the more touching moments, I think in these cases a nomination should be shared. Also, Sophia was one of my favorites in season one of Orange is the Bew Black, so I was disappointed by her reduced screen time in season 2. Maybe Lorraine Toussant can get her spot at the Emmys next year. She's a great actress, as well.

A poster on the "Poppy Bush" thread asked me to start a new thread about the CIA links between the JFK murder, Bush 1&2, Clinton and Obama. Just to deflect any trolls from calling me a "Freeper" and accusing me of slandering the Dems, do not forget- Bush Sr was the director of the CIA, and was chosen for Reagan (against his better judgment) as Veep. It was "choose Bush as VP, or else"! Let's focus on the current administration and work our way back. There is substantial circumstantial evidence that Obama's mother, grandmother, father, and stepfather were all CIA operatives. Since the CIA never comments on current or former agents, and is highly secretive about everything, confirming the evidence is a futile exercise. His mother, Ann Dunham, worked for several CIA front companies. His bio-dad worked for a CIA funded anti-commie group that trained Africans to fight the USSR. His stepdad, Lolo, was an operative in Indonesia, and helped stage a coup of the president. His grandmother, Madelyn, worked for a CIA controlled bank in Hawaii that laundered money for the CIA. His mom and dad met in a Russian language course...run by the CIA. All of these assertions can be confirmed with a quick Google search. Free country? Only if you're a complacent, ignorant tool.

Germany has decided its gold is safe in American hands. Surging mistrust of the euro during Europe’s debt crisis fed a campaign to bring Germany’s entire $141 billion gold reserve home from New York and London. Now, after politics shifted in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition, the government has concluded that stashing half its bullion abroad is prudent after all. “The Americans are taking good care of our gold,” Norbert Barthle, the budget spokesman for Merkel’s Christian Democratic bloc in parliament, said in an interview. “Objectively, there’s absolutely no reason for mistrust.” Ending talk of repatriating the world’s second-biggest gold reserves removes a potential irritant in U.S.-German relations. It’s also a rebuff to critics including the anti-euro Alternative for Germany party, which says all the gold should return to Frankfurt so it can’t be impounded to blackmail Germany into keeping the currency union together. The Bundesbank, Germany’s central bank, sent a delegation to the New York Fed’s vault in 2012 for spot checks on the hoard. As the gold’s guardian, the Frankfurt-based Bundesbank is obliged to ensure its safety. It says it’s sensible to store part of the reserves outside the country so they can be swapped more easily for foreign currency in an emergency. Germany’s election in September hastened the shift when the Free Democratic Party, which flirted with bringing the gold home, dropped out of Merkel’s coalition and was replaced by the Social Democrats. Other supporters included Philipp Missfelder, a member of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union who quit as her government’s envoy for relations with the U.S. in April. Juergen Hardt, his successor, signaled a change of position.
American troops in Afghanistan are reportedly using Craigslist to solicit and arrange casual and discreet same sex sexual encounters, according to the Army Times... "Sexual activities in a war zone are as old as wars themselves, but with the advent of Internet personal ads and social media sites, arranging a sexual encounter can become brazen, public and risky. Warnings from commanders, standard guidance for any unit headed to the war zone, appear to have fallen on deaf ears in many cases." As a result, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Afghanistan is now having agents monitor such sites, and investigating any potential sexual encounters as violations of conduct. The Times told the story of one soldier: "One Marine lance corporal...posted an advertisement on Craigslist for a sexual rendezvous. The guy he met at Camp Leatherneck, whom he thought was also looking to hook up, turned out to be an undercover agent with the NCIS." The report then went on to explain: "Online sex solicitation is technically not a crime under the UCMJ. However, commanders have the right to enact regulations that make it a punishable offense." How so? While it may not be against any regulations to post a personal ad, "posting pornographic images on a public web or social media site is a chargeable offense," explained Erin Stattel, a press officer for International Security Assistance Force. "Adultery, pandering, and prostitution" are also on the list of violations. Commanders can also punish soldiers on a case-by-case basis under an article that bans conduct “to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces.” Take the above-mentioned lance corporal for example. Commanders charged him with three violations: "attempting to commit an offense in violation of the UCMJ; failing to obey an order or regulation, and pandering and prostitution." The soldier accepted the punishment gracefully, but did express some resentment to the Army Times: "It was against the rules set forth by the base general, ... so they were doing their job, but what I don’t agree with is how they were pretty much searching for people to arrest." As the report indicates, a majority of the Craigslist ads investigated by the NCIS are by men seeking other men. That does not necessarily mean that the agency is targeting gay soldiers. Retired Col. Dr. Elspeth Cameron “Cam” Ritchie, Army psychiatrist and chief clinical officer for the District of Columbia’s Department of Mental Health in Washington, offered a different explanation. She told the Army Times: “When detached from home, without the ability to openly exercise relationships in a combat environment and with a fatalistic attitude, military members would be inclined to embrace risk-taking. These young men have high testosterone and, with the inability to quietly have a relationship, it is not surprising that they are willing to put themselves into that situation.” UK's Daily Mail took it upon themselves to peruse many of the Craigslist pages in question, posting many racy screencaps on their site. The images depicted standard fare for any casual-sex-soliciting social network pages...disembodied torsos, genitals, and an overabundance of words such as "looking" and "discreet". Naturally, upon discovering news of these casual sexual encounters, conservative activists did not approve.

I’ve kept up with Sons of Anarchy over the years, but I was pretty much hate-watching the last two seasons. It was hard to keep up with all the plot twists, allegiances and double-crossing and at times I didn’t bother. There were some excellent subplots, particularly the one involving Walton Goggins (Justified) as a transgender escort named Venus. Plus I really loved the shock ending this last season. We got to see a character whom I found particularly grating meet a spectacular end. (I know that sounds terrible, but it’s just a show!) The good news is that Goggins is set to return to Sons of Anarchy this upcoming and last eighth season, which premieres this fall. The questionable news is that producers have announced two other guest stars that sound like stunt casting: Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson. ........ The FX drama has tapped rocker Courtney Love to join Season 7 in a pivotal, multi-episode arc, TVLine has learned exclusively. In what marks her dramatic TV acting debut, Love will play Ms. Harrison, the straight-shooting preschool teacher of Jax’s eldest son, Abel. Look for Love’s educator to take a special interest in Abel — which will likely spark an interesting reaction from the boy’s mother Wendy (newly-minted series regular Drea de Matteo). Love, who put the brakes on her acting career of late, won raves (and a Golden Globe nod) for her supporting work in 1996′s The People vs. Larry Flynt. Roles in the Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon and the Kiefer Sutherland drama Beat followed. This is hardly the first time SOA has gone to the music well to cast key parts. Dave Navarro recurred as a gang member in Seasons 5 and 6. And Marilyn Manson is set to appear in Season 7 as a prison power player who has dealings with Jax. [From TV Line] ......... Courtney Love can act, I remember her turn in The People vs. Larry Flynt. That was in 1996 though, her brain is surely addled from whatever she’s done to it in two decades. I would be surprised if she’s at all reliable and able to consistently show up on set. As far as Marilyn Manson, the only time I’ve ever seen him in anything was in Bowling for Columbine, where he thoughtfully addressed the allegations that his music negatively influenced the Columbine killers. He was pretty soft spoken and I was impressed at how intelligent he came across. Rewatching that interview makes me wonder whether he’ll be in his stage makeup for SOA. I bet he’ll at least wear guyliner, like Navarro did for his brief story arc.
New York probably isn't the best place to retire for someone who hated the media, nosy fans and the paparazzi. Why didn't she buy some small farm in Sweden and make Swedish meatballs in peace for the rest of her life?
We seem to have one person absolutely unhinged over this actor. I had to look him up to see who it was. There are multiple threads on him (yeah I know, I started another one. Okay). There's even a thread where the troll claims he/she just began watching queer/folk then immediately makes it 100% GaleHarold. What the fuck is it about this person and who could/would be completely consumed by him this way? Is it an older gay guy? Maybe a woman? This troll has become the most vocal and omnipresent on Datalounge and you can't get away from it.
I'm not even religious, but I love movies that have themes that involve the Antichrist, angels, demons, the apocalypse, etc. Stuff like Legion, The Omen, End of Days, The Prophecy. Anyone else?

Republican governors signal shift on gay marriage in bid to attract voters Wisconsin's Scott Walker among governors appearing to back off opposition to gay marriage at convention in Nashville Associated Press in Nashville; theguardian.com, Saturday 12 July 2014 18.00 BST Deep in the Bible Belt, new signs emerged this weekend of evolving views among Republican governors on gay marriage. While the Republican Party's religious conservatives continue to fight against same-sex marriage, its governors appear to be backing off their opposition – in their rhetoric, at least. For some, the shift may be more a matter of tone than substance as the GOP tries to attract new voters ahead of the midterm elections. Nonetheless, it is a dramatic turn for a party that has long been defined by social conservative values. "I don't think the Republican Party is fighting it," Wisconsin's Republican governor, Scott Walker, said in an interview this weekend at the National Governors Association in Nashville. "I'm not saying it's not important," continued Walker, who is considering a 2016 presidential bid should he survive his reelection test this fall. "But Republicans haven't been talking about this. We've been talking about economic and fiscal issues. It's those on the left that are pushing it." Walker, like other ambitious Republican governors, is trying to strike a delicate balance. His comments come just days after he formally appealed a federal judge's ruling striking down Wisconsin's ban on same-sex marriages, a ban he supported. But after his party's disastrous 2012 election, the Republican National Committee commissioned a report calling for more "inclusive and welcoming" tones on divisive social issues – particularly those "involving the treatment and the rights of gays”. Walker explained his court appeal as simply as his obligation as governor to defend the state's constitution. Other Republican governors, however, including New Jersey's Chris Christie, opted against appealing similar rulings, clearing the way for gay marriage to become legal. "That is a very controversial and divisive issue," said Iowa governor Terry Branstad, suggesting Republicans are better served by focusing on economic issues. "I'm a religious conservative, I'm a Catholic, I'm pro-life. [But] I think the people of Iowa look to me to provide leadership in bringing good jobs and growing the Iowa economy." A Gallup poll found in May that national support for same-sex marriage reached an all-time high of 55%. That includes 30% of Republicans and nearly eight in 10 young adults from both parties. Courts across the nation repeatedly have struck down gay marriage bans. The latest such ruling came on Wednesday in Colorado, but it's on hold pending an appeal. At least 20 states now allow gay marriage, although the issue may be headed for the supreme court. The high court's landmark ruling last summer allowed married same-sex couples to receive the same federal benefits as other married people but did not specifically address whether gay marriage is a constitutional right. Democratic governors in Republican-leaning states that have banned gay marriage also appear to have softened their stands. Many said they were looking to the supreme court to resolve the issue once and for all. Like Walker, Kentucky's Democratic governor, Steve Beshear, is appealing a recent court ruling that struck down his state's gay marriage ban. "My goal is to get that issue to the United States supreme court and get a final decision that will tell us all what the law is going to be in the future, and then Kentucky will abide by it," Beshear said. Walker, too, said that Republican governors would be "legally obligated" to support gay marriage should the supreme court rule in its favor. For now, the Republican Party's official platform, as adopted in 2012, calls for a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as "the union of one man and one woman”, while formally supporting Republican-led campaigns to make the same change in state constitutions. And despite the softening rhetoric, several states are continuing to fight. Tennessee, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky are scheduled to present arguments against recent gay marriage rulings in their states before the 6th US circuit court of appeals in Cincinnati on 6 August.

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

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

According to Charles Busch and John Epperson, on the commentrary track for "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?", that is. I think they made actually very good choices--they are all immediately identifiable by gay men according to what movie they're from. The first is from "Baby Jane," of course: "But ya ARE, Blanche! Ya ARE in a wheelchair!" Can you guess the other four? One other was also said by Bette Davis. (Don't go for obscure choices--all four are super-famous.)

So it's Friday night and I'm thinking of rejoining... I was with the service for about eight months, but left a year ago. Since then, I haven't had much action dating-wise (and I'm not talking about a hookup, but a date). The profiles were often interesting, and I corresponded with people around the country, but never met anyone in my city. Does anyone have any experiences (good, bad, indifferent, lurid, whatever) with OKC or sites like it? Are there some out there worth trying? Or is it really just a Grindr/Growlr world in 2013?
Do we even care anymore?
So many Youtube stars who regularly get millions of views on a weekly basis. They can make a living off of it. It's quite mind boggling. And they're mostly all awful and stupid. Kids these days are easily entertained. And for the most part the mainstream media totally ignores them. It's a strange phenomenon. For example, Lohanthony. The popular and super gay Youtube star posted a new video on his channel and it's now trending on Twitter.

Great decision by the court today. Unions, for the most part, are evil. WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled Monday that public sector unions cannot collect fees from home health care workers who don't want to be part of a union. The decision was handed down Monday by the Supreme Court in its final session of its nine-month term. The case, which deals with home care workers in Illinois, could eliminate automatic dues deductions for public sector unions. The court was also set to rule on a challenge by for-profit businesses, including Hobby Lobby, to the requirement in ObamaCare to provide free contraceptive coverage. In the union case, plaintiff Pamela Harris serves as the primary caretaker for her son, Josh, who has a rare genetic syndrome. She receives Medicaid funds and essentially functions as a state employee. Service Employee International Union (SEIU) Healthcare Illinois-Indiana, the union that represents publicly employed home care workers, automatically deducts membership dues from employees’ paychecks under the collective bargaining agreement it has with the state. Harris, as well as a handful of other personal care providers, sued Illinois, demanding it stop labor unions from collecting fees from workers who refuse representation. They argue that forcing them to pay the fees violates their First Amendment rights. Labor unions argue that if Illinois is allowed to back out of its collective bargaining agreement, it would be only be a matter of time before workers see their wages cut and benefits dropped. Union leaders also fear that conservative judges across the country will use the ruling in Harris’ case to strike down laws in 26 states that currently require public-sector employees such as teachers and police officers, to fork over dues to the unions that negotiate contracts on their behalf even if the employee doesn’t want to become a union member.
Supreme Court rules against unions in home healthcare worker case
This is a creepy story
Anji Dean, 17, is missing, feared snared by sex traffickers in Camas
Does anyone remember her? This is really creepy. I've linked a documentary found on Youtube. The day she died, she had just taped an episode of "What's My Line". The episode still aired that night. This is from Wikipedia: Kilgallen claimed she conducted an interview with Jack Ruby inside the Dallas courthouse where he was tried for the shooting death of Lee Harvey Oswald, although she never revealed the subject of their purported conversation.[38] Four or five months later, she obtained a copy of Ruby's testimony to the Warren Commission, which was published on the front pages of the Journal American,[39] the Philadelphia Inquirer,[40] the Seattle Post Intelligencer,[41] and other newspapers. Most of that testimony did not become officially available to the public until the commission released its 26 volumes of hearings and exhibits in November 1964, around the time of the first anniversary of the assassination.[42] The first of three installments of the Ruby testimony under Kilgallen's byline appeared in the Journal American on August 18.[43] Kilgallen had a history of government criticism, suggesting in 1959 that the CIA recruited members of the Mafia to assassinate Fidel Castro, which many years later was proven to be the case.[44] By the time of the assassination, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had been keeping a file on the "flighty and irresponsible" columnist (his words about her were preserved in his own handwriting)[45] for 25 years.[46] The FBI tried to determine who had given the columnist a transcript of Jack Ruby's testimony to the Warren Commission.[47] The agency abandoned, in September 1964, all attempts to identify this source.[47] The attempts had included sending two FBI agents to Kilgallen's house, where she told them she would not identify the source under any circumstances.[47] The Voice of Broadway as it was published in the Journal American on September 30, 1964, included the following about the release of the single book containing the Warren Commission report, which was about two months before the 26 volumes were released: ...from what I have read, I would be inclined to believe that the Federal Bureau of Investigation might have been more profitably employed in probing the facts of the case rather than how I got them – which does seem a waste of time to me. At any rate, the whole thing smells a bit fishy. It's a mite too simple that a chap kills the President of the United States, escapes from that bother, kills a policeman, eventually is apprehended in a movie theater under circumstances that defy every law of police procedure, and subsequently is murdered under extraordinary circumstances. The Warren Report made a great effort to note that the FBI and the Secret Service were delinquent in their duty, and that the press media – TV, radio and newspaper – also were responsible for the confusion that made Oswald's murder possible. Baloney. Oswald was not killed by a newspaperman. He was killed by a nightclub owner well-known to the police – Jack Ruby. How can the Warren Commission pretend to forget that?[48] In her column that the Journal American published on June 9, 1965, Kilgallen called The Manchurian Candidate (1962 film) "a routine melodrama with the plot telegraphed as neatly as if it had been sent by Western Union."[49] She said this at a time when many people who had seen the film before the assassination looked back on it with anxiety and with concern about whether Oswald had watched it or drawn inspiration from it.[50] According to Kilgallen's statement published on June 9, she was prompted to recall her impression of the old film (a few months before an American television network revived it for the first time)[51] because some Hollywood insiders were saying the screenplay for Seconds (film), scheduled to start filming in the New York area later in 1965, was "as off-beat as The Manchurian Candidate." Kilgallen did not live to see the completion of Seconds, which starred Rock Hudson. She made her point that The Manchurian Candidate was hardly off-beat. In September 1965, more than a year after her scoop of Jack Ruby's testimony to the Warren Commission, Kilgallen said, referring to the murders of JFK, police officer J. D. Tippit and Oswald, "That story isn't going to die as long as there's a real reporter alive, and there are a lot of them alive."[52] That was the last sentence in her column item about Marina Oswald Porter's possible knowledge of the possible doctoring of an incriminating snapshot she had taken of Lee holding a rifle and The Militant socialist newspaper that Life featured on its cover in 1964.[52] DEATH: On November 8, 1965, Kilgallen was found dead on the third floor of her five-story brownstone, just 12 hours after she had appeared live on What's My Line?. Her hairdresser, Marc Sinclaire, found her body when he arrived that morning to style her hair.[7] He said decades later that she always slept on the fifth floor, adding that on November 8 he used his key to the brownstone and went directly to the third floor where he always did her hair near her large wardrobe closet.[7] She had apparently succumbed to a fatal combination of alcohol and barbiturates, possibly concurrent with a heart attack. It is not known whether the death was a suicide or an accidental overdose, although the amount of barbiturate in her system "could well have been accidental," said medical examiner James Luke.[61] Dorothy Kilgallen was interred in a modest grave at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York. Kilgallen and Arlene Francis appeared as Joan Crawford impostors on an episode of the daytime version of To Tell The Truth that was videotaped on November 2, 1965, and broadcast six days later while United Press International broke the news about Kilgallen's death.[62] CBS News immediately noticed the report on its UPI machine from the Teletype Corporation.[63] Anchor Douglas Edwards announced it during the five-minute live newscast he regularly did promptly after the closing credits of To Tell The Truth.[63] He clarified for viewers that the preceding broadcast on which they had seen Kilgallen had been "prerecorded."[63] Kilgallen's appearance on this game show episode has been lost because of wiping.[64] The CBS Afternoon News with Douglas Edwards was not preserved, either. Because of her open criticism of the Warren Commission and other US government entities, and her association with Jack Ruby and a 1964 private interview with him, Ramparts speculated that she was murdered by members of the same alleged conspiracy against JFK.[65] The February 1967 edition of Cosmopolitan, then edited by Helen Gurley Brown, reprinted the Ramparts article. Kilgallen's claims that she was under surveillance [66] led to a theory that she might have been murdered. She reportedly had told a few friends after her Ruby interview that she was "about to blow the JFK case sky high."[67] Throughout her career she consistently refused to identify any of her sources whenever a government agency questioned her, and that might have posed a threat to the alleged JFK conspirators.[68] Kilgallen's autopsy did not suggest evidence of homicide.[4] On the death certificate, however, medical examiner James Luke typed "circumstances undetermined" underneath his notation "acute ethanol and barbiturate intoxication."[69] According to Kilgallen's Washington Post obituary, Dr. Luke spent 45 minutes at the death scene.[70] The medical examiner's office documented, however, that he had spent an hour and five minutes there.[71] Another medical examiner named Dominick DiMaio signed the death certificate, typing below his signature that he was doing this "for James Luke."[69] Referring to Kilgallen's death certificate, Dr. DiMaio said in a 1995 interview quoted in Midwest Today magazine, "I wasn't stationed in Manhattan [where Kilgallen died]. I was in Brooklyn. Are you sure I signed it? I don't see how the hell I could have signed it in the first place. You got me."[7] He added that the only reason why Dr. Luke would not have signed the document was if he had not visited the death scene or performed the autopsy.[7] But evidence indicates Dr. Luke did both.[69][70]
I make almost twice what my sister and her husband make together, and they have two children. I've had to help both children through college, along with my parents--my sister and her husband are so broke they can't contribute to tuition. I worry when my parents die I will have to help my sister--she has no retirement plan.
OK, I know this will get me a lot of grief, but it's a serious question. I'm in my early 60s, retired, and reasonably well off. I've always been frugal and thrifty, because while I had a steady government job, and now have a good pension, I always wanted to make sure I had enough to take care of myself (and my mother) in my old age. Now I'm alone - my mother and siblings have all passed, and I have no children, nieces or nephews. And while my income was more than sufficient, I have inherited some money and two houses, one of which I sold and the other of which I'm renting. So ... here's the issue: I find it difficult to spend my money! I still use coupons and look for deals. I never stay in upscale lodging establishments or do things I've always considered to be wasteful extravagances, like massages or spas, or resorts. I have no one to leave my money to, and who knows how much longer I'll be around? How do I force myself to use my money?

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

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

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

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

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

I have even popped into a couple of them just to throw a conversational hand grenade just to keep the pot boiling. I have a sense that I'm not the only one.

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

OK, I'm a bit behind the times, and feel a strange urge (brainwashing?) to watch this movie. Will I regret it?

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

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

I was always under the impression that most celebrities don't really hang out with other celebs as much as we'd like to believe and act super friendly with them only on red carpets or when there are cameras around. I mean, can you imagine Nicole Kidman crying on Naomi Watts' shoulder? Or Matt Damon telling Ben Affleck all about his mysterious skin rash? So, who are A-list celebs' real best friends and confidantes? Are they people like their personal trainers and hairdressers? Or are they other super rich people with lower profiles (like businessmen). I guess we can rule out the common folk, huh?

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

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

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

Criticizes CNBC for "outing" Tim Cook, conveniently forgetting how she outed Bradley Cooper during the Golden Globes.
Her hit single "Chandelier" has hit more than 56.5 million views in just over two months. It could definitely be the gay anthem of the summer. The vid is very artistic and well done. What do we think? Is she the new Gaga?
What are your thoughts on it? It's a video game, I saw some images of the video game and thought it was alright. I probably will check it out. You?
Probably about 25 yrs ago, on some channel, not necessarily pay, maybe A&E, a movie about a housewife who killed her philandering husband, was repeated for a few months and then I never saw it again. Most of the movie is just the housewife alone all day cleaning, and you hear her thoughts as narration. She was obsessive about her work, I remember her saying that most people clean windows without really getting into the corners, but she cleans those corners out good. She said her one indulgence is lying on the couch in the afternoon, and playing her jazz records with her eyes closed imagining she's the singer. Somehow she finds out, or has suspected, that her husband has been cheating, and when he comes home the movie ends with her knifing him to death. I think the movie was set in Canada and was a Canadian production. It was average at best, but I remember it occasionally, and just wondered if anyone else remembers it. Even if you can't name it, but better if you can.
If you'll excuse me, I'm off to cry myself to sleep... the only plus side I can see is that my tears of sympathy will provide me with some desperately needed drinking water...

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

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

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

Isn't this the one complaining last year that Julie made fun of her weight? The half-sister of Julia Roberts has died of an apparent drug overdose, her family announced Monday. Nancy Motes, 37, was the youngest sister of Julia and actor Eric Roberts and had battled with depression and obesity. She was found dead Sunday in Los Angeles, the family says in a statement, issued to People. “It is with deep sadness that the family of Nancy Motes … confirms that she was found dead in Los Angeles yesterday of an apparent drug overdose,” the statement reads. “There is no official report from the Coroner’s office yet. The family is both shocked and devastated.” Last August Motes described her battle with obesity and depression in an interview, saying she always felt like an embarrassment to Julia because of her weight. Motes, who once weighed nearly 300 pounds before her decision to undergo gastric bypass surgery in June 2010, told The Sun last year, “It makes me feel incredibly hurt and very sad.” Nancy, whose other siblings Eric Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan are also screen stars, adds: “When you’re in a family of very, very exceptionally beautiful people it’s intimidating. I think that growing up as Pretty Woman’s little sister has definitely made me try to see the person inside and not the person outside. A lot of my life I felt judged for my weight.” Nancy said Julia wasn’t supportive over her battle with obesity: “When I was in high school and she was an adult, she would just let me know that I was ‘definitely overweight.’ “She would make it quite clear to me and in a not so nice manner.” After Nancy finished school, she ” followed her sister to Hollywood in 1995 with dreams of becoming a star herself.” But she claims she did not find Julia, who has a different father, supportive. She says: “Julia did not want to see me go down that path, mostly because I was overweight. “My weight has fluctuated my entire life. So I just got a lot of criticism from Julia, which was very discouraging for me. “I did a lot of auditioning, a lot of waitressing, then really could not afford the cost of living, so I went back to Georgia and focused on doing more things in theatre.” But she recalls, “My arthritis was flaring up to the point where I couldn’t get the rings on my knuckles, I was gaining weight like crazy. I was in an enormous amount of physical pain and just miserable, which led into the talk of the bariatric surgery.” Nancy had been living with John Dilbeck and the couple planned to marry in May. Nancy added she was not sure if Julia would be at her wedding, explaining, “It’s a work in progress, it’s not going to be fixed overnight. Nor do I think it’s going to be fixed by me just getting skinny. “My family love each other fiercely, we’re really not different from any other family. I love Julia absolutely and I have no doubt she loves me.” She says: “I want to be known as more than Julia Roberts’ fat little sister.”
