My sister and her son are staying with me for the holidays. She's staying in the guest room and he's sleeping on the couch. They got in yesterday and he's already made the living room his home with his videos games, sodas and fast food wrappers everywhere. It's just a mess. I'm at work now and just checked a cam site and see he's broadcasting from my living room. WTF, why would you do that when you're a guest in someone else's home?! At first I didn't even recognize him but I sure as hell recognized my couch! Yikes, he didn't put a towel down on the couch. It's my favorite couch too but I guess it's going to the Salvation Army now. I don't know if I should talk to my sister about what he's doing or talk to him directly or just let it go and pretend nothing happened. Either way it's going to be an uncomfortable Christmas now. Ugh!
No homo.
From now until the end of the month saying "Happy Holidays" is meaningless. There's one holiday remaining in December. "Merry Christmas" is the only greeting you need.
I just watched 15 minutes of Super Fun Night. How dare you make a mockery of peanut allergy !!!!!!!!! IT IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL !!!!!! My grandson is deathly allergic to peanuts, tree nuts and would go into anaphylactic shock if he consumed or was in contact. I am so disgusted with your making a joke of it. SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The truth of the matter is that if someone with an allergy were to consume something that contained even a small trace of nuts or tree nuts , they would have the same reaction shown on your show FOR REAL. Then they would have to be injected with an epi-pen which has to be in there possession at all times. Afterward they would have to go to the ER for observation. I think an apology is in order and that there should be no more joking about that matter. Please. It is no laughing matter. We live in fear all the time , have to read labels, explain to relatives, school and restaurants. How dare you, Rebel. For shame, for shame.

Though not quite as big as his sister Julianne (Rock of Ages), Derek Hough has reached a level of celebrity via his gig on Dancing with the Stars. So you’d think he’d be used to people asking for a photograph. But, according to the increasingly accurate National Enquirer, the blond hoofer, 27, threw a hissy fit when a fan tried to take his picture at Jam, a gay club in Hough’s hometown of Salt Lake City: Sexy pro dancer Derek Hough donned some shiny silver pants and shook his fanny at a popular Salt Lake City gay club — but then freaked out when a fan tried to take his picture! The talented 27-year-old has been dogged by gay rumors for years despite having a string of girlfriends. And although it’s been reported that he is dating “DWTS” contestant and opera singer Katherine Jenkins, she was nowhere in sight when Derek showed up at Jam, a gay club in his hometown, on July 21, a source confided. “I’m a big fan of Derek’s, and I always thought or HOPED he was gay,” Jam regular Ken lee told The Enquirer. “Seeing him shimmying with his buddies at the gay club wearing skintight, shiny silver pants just made my mind scream!” But Ken says when he approached Derek for a photo, the dancer “got all nervous and fidgety and stammered, ‘No, no, no — not here!’” “I was really careful about approaching him respectfully,” Ken explained. “I went up to Derek and said, ‘excuse me’ and asked very nicely if I could have a photo taken with him. Well, he couldn’t have been more rude or a bigger diva! “I was like, OK, he’s clearly not comfortable about having his picture taken in a gay bar. If you’re not gay, then what’s the problem? Derek’s behavior was very suspect." “Derek very well may not be gay,” added Ken. “But he sure was dressed pretty and threw an impressive hissy fit when I asked for a photo!” Hough’s been dodging gay rumors since he first came on the scene, and his clumsy showmances with Shannon Elizabeth and Cheryl Cole haven’t helped. Neither has his close friendship with his sis’ boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest. Is he gay? We dunno—but you can’t be a celebrity and think you’re gonna be able to have some anonymity at a friggin’ gay bar. We notice those kinds of things!

The first African American to win an Academy Award The official photo shows Hattie McDaniel and her escort seated alone at a small round table in a sea of long banquet tables end to end. “They were in a corner,” Professor W. Burlette Carter adds. “If they turned left, they faced the back of a white person sitting at the end of one of the long banquet rows. If they turned right, they faced the stairs. They were the only two blacks in the room, including the servants and the band, and the rest of the Gone with the Wind cast and crew were seated several yards away toward the front center of the room.”

I think I've been here long enough to predict which should be most of the top contenders on DL, though there's someone's I had to leave off--I've added an "Other--please list" category though. (Please note, I only had room for nine other choices besides that--there are four more at least I wish I had had room to add, because I know they will have vocal fans.)
This DL fave will be released on DVD in late September. That is all.

I'm thinking of giving a very close friend an emerald and diamond cocktail ring that belonged to my mother. Is an appraisal as simple as walking into a jewelry sore here in Manhattan? Do I need to go online and check out a jeweler/appraiser beforehand from an independent source? My guess is the ring is about $1K - $1.5K if that matters. We're not talking Hope Diamond here. Thanks.
I think the guy's cute, but those yellow, filmy teeth are a complete turn-off. I admit tons of stars overdue the whitening, but he looks white trashy

Ben Affleck knows the drill when it comes to the paparazzi, but he's sick and tired of his children being followed and photographed. In a new interview with Playboy, Affleck shares his thoughts on being in the spotlight and admits that although he's fine with photographers following him around, he's not okay with grown men chasing after his three kids -- Violet, 8, Seraphina, 4, and Samuel, 1 -- with Jennifer Garner. "You can say what you want about me. You can yell at me with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow me around and take pictures all you want. I don't care. There are a couple of guys outside right now. Terrific. That's part of the deal. But it's wrong and disgusting to follow children around and take their picture and sell it for money," he tells Playboy. "It makes the kids less safe. They used to take pictures of our children coming out of preschool, and so this stalker who had threatened to kill me, my wife and our kids showed up at the school and got arrested. I mean, there are real practical dangers to this." "My kids aren't celebrities. They never made that bargain ... As their father it's my job to protect them from that stuff," Affleck explains to Playboy. "I try my very best, and sometimes I'm successful. The tragic thing is, people who see those pictures naturally think it’s sweet. They don't see the gigantic former gang member with a huge lens standing over a four-year-old and screaming to get the kid's attention." "The kids are always looking down because they're freaked out and scared of these people," he adds. "And so they yell. Which is fine if you're Lindsay Lohan coming out of a club, or me or any adult," remarks Affleck. "With kids it's tasteless at best."

No more door-to-door mail delivery. No more mail-men in Canada. No more mailboxes needed at houses. Canada Post (think U.S. Postal Service) is phasing out door-to-door delivery. Instead everyone will have to go to the Post Office, where each household is assigned a box. You open your box, and there is your mail. Canada Post will lay off 8,000 workers, mostly mailmen who have delivered mail through all kinds of weather. Would you mind driving to the post office everyday to pick up your mail?

I was upgrading in 2 weeks and ended up with a Samsung. Another got us one of those beautiful tea sets and some loose tea from Teavana. I drink tea maybe once or twice a year. There are things we actually want, need and will use - but for some reason, people always guess, or get what they want you to have, or think you should have. So, am I the only asshole here?

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

Watching "City Confidential" on Robert Johnson, and wondering how someone can go from the worst of the worst "musician" to the best in one year. They interviewed lots of people who witnessed this phenomenal transition. He claimed he made a deal with the devil. What else could explain his mysterious transition. I've never heard of anyone with absolutely no musical talent suddenly transform into one of the best musicians in history. Do Baptists shun music?

Several months ago I got a text from a married coworker late in the evening. He asked if I’d been flirting with him during an interaction that afternoon. I assured him that I was not (good body horrible personality) he responded that he’d been with guys before I told him that this was not a discussion for text messaging and that if he wanted to he could come by my office and talk, otherwise I’d forget that the texts existed. He asked me to delete the texts and that was the end of it. The conversation never felt quite right and after a few days I just stopped thinking about it. This particular coworker has been very overly friendly in what felt like a purposefully annoying way for over a year now when greeting me he even used this SNL frat boy voice that made me cringe. Other than this being his annoying personality I never gave it much thought. Yesterday I discovered that his bizarre behavior towards me was an was an inside joke and that for over a year he and a few of the other “good ole boys” had been laughing about it, that even those annoying greetings had been, in effect, him calling me a faggot. The only good thing I can say about the situation is how happy I am that I didn't respond to those texts in a positive way. I could never have gotten over the humiliation of playing into him/them like that. I want revenge. Holy shit do I want satisfaction. Any Ideas???

Many years ago, I read a science fiction story about an alien representative that was missing one of the senses humans have -- sight, I think it was. However, this alien confided to someone at a party that his alien race had a sense that humans knew nothing about. He even said that he could do something to a human that would enable the human to experience this extra sense for a specified period of time -- 10 minutes? I'm not sure. And then that sense would be lost to the human forever. Does this story ring a bell for anyone? I, of course, can't remember an author or title, but I'd love to find it again.

India bans gay sex in Supreme Court shock ruling 11th December 2013, 9:37 AM, Scott Roberts India's highest court has upheld a colonial-era law which criminalises gay sex, in what activists have described as a "black day" for gay rights. The Supreme Court threw out a 2009 New Delhi High Court decision that ruled the law was unconstitutional. The law change could see gay people jailed for up to ten years. "Such a decision was totally unexpected from the top court. It is a black day," said Arvind Narrain, a lawyer for the Alternative Law Forum gay rights group. "We are very angry about this regressive decision of the court." Ashok Row Kavi, of the activist group Humsafar Trust, said: "This is a very sad day for us, we are back to square one in our fight for the democratic rights of the gay community." The Supreme Court stated that only India's Parliament could change the law, by deleting a section of the penal code dating back to the 19th century, thus ruling that the Delhi High Court had overstepped its powers with its decision four years ago. Section 377 of India's penal code bans "sex against the order of nature", which is widely interpreted to mean gay sex, and can be punished with up to 10 years in jail. The rule dates back to the days of British colonial rule in India. "One would never expect the supreme court of India to make such a retrograde order, that is so against the trend internationally," said rights lawyer Colin Gonsalves. "This takes us back to the dark ages. This is a day of mourning for us in India." India’s law minister, Kapil Sibal, said he could not comment on the judgment and did not say if the government planned to seek an amendment to the law. But it seems unlikely the government will risk taking a stand on the issue in the short term. General elections are coming up in May in largely socially conservative India, and the Hindu nationalist opposition is already gathering momentum. The 2009 ruling to exempt gay sex between consenting adults from the ban was the result of a case brought by the Naz Foundation, an Indian sexual rights organisation, which fought a legal battle for almost a decade. Hundreds of gay rights activists marched through the streets of New Delhi last month in a call to end LGBT stigmatisation and discrimination in India. In October, over a hundred people took part in Gujarat's first ever gay pride march in the city of Surat.

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

I'm 50 years old, and pretty alarmed at how many young guys I know who have sero-converted. Condom use has not caught on with the guys who weren't around to experience the big 1983-1996 AIDS die off. I'm figuring that the population who may benefit from a drug like this may often be in less than perfect health to start with, and if one can't use a damned condom, how likely is one to faithfully stay on a drug regimen? What might be the long-term effects? I was initially horrified to think anyone would take a potent HIV drug while perfectly healthy, and risk the side effects (and feeding into Big Pharma's profit scheme), just so they can continue barebacking.....but what if that's just my prejudice? What if ultimately it saves lives?
My father claimed he was bisexual when he was younger and had a relationship with an older boy down the street. Dad said he was the bottom. TMI for me at the time. When I first moved to New York in my teens, I didn't have any education or goals. Yet I managed to live pretty well. I didn't tell my family I had a wealthy, generous boyfriend. If I showed up in a sports car wearing a good suit, there would be talk. This was around the time of that movie American Gigolo. Later on I found out my whole family suspected I was a prostitute. I had to tell them no. Nothing so scandalous. Just gay.

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

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

Donny Osmond knows a thing or two about being a teen idol, and in a new interview with Closer Weekly, the 56-year-old singer lobs some advice at Justin Bieber, a teen going through his own idol struggles. "I'm just a normal guy, and Donny & Marie left me with such a wacky image," Osmond told the magazine. "Since 'Puppy Love' and 'Go Away Little Girl' were such big records, I went through a period when I hated it." He said Bieber is "feeling the pains of this right now."

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

I left back in September. It wasn't easy. He just texted me the following less than an hour ago: Remember that I love you very, very much. I wish you all the success and happiness in the world, yo deserve it. Have a merry Xmas. You deserve it. Goodbye. I've been calling him non-stop since. He sounds like he is going to commit suicide. I am beside myself. I already called his mom and brother to tell them to call him. Neither has been able to get through just like me. I feel so helpless.
And wow, if SHE is fat, I can't even fucking imagine what these slim actress types look like in real life. She looked small to me. Short with a tiny waist. And now I feel bad for poking a bit of fun at her here on DL.
Dustin Lance Black received approximately 1 out of every 4 votes for Villain of the Year, making him the most hated person on the Datalounge. Black beat Gwyneth Paltrow, Kanye West, Simon Halls, and other villains to claim the top spot in the informal poll. Congratulations, Dustin!
I've been sorta sleeping with this guy and he sorta has a slight meth addiction. I know I probably shouldn't be he's so hot and fucks me real good. You would totally not know he was a meth addict unless you spent a lot of time with him, like me. I should stop right? Oh, we're always safe (at anal).
They also do a lot of drugs and hate their parents for stifling them when they were young. Thus they transplant their hatred of authority figures onto the Big Bad Government. There, I said it.

Charming trailer for the probably white-washed history of Disney's adaptation of Mary Poppins. Tom Hanks IS Walt Disney. Emma Thompson IS PL Travers. Jason Schwartzman and BJ Novak ARE the Sherman Brothers. Ruth Wilson, Colin Farrell, and Rachel Griffiths play Travers' mother, father, and aunt, respectively, in flashbacks. And a fact that will definitely not be touched on, Travers was bisexual.

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

Last month Nick Cannon expressed his disdain for movies such as “Django Unchained” and “12 Years a Slave,” saying he’s tired of seeing Black people portrayed as slaves on film. Recognizing that African people’s history started prior to being enslaved, the actor tweeted that he would like to see Blacks portray kings and queens in films instead. “Why don’t they make movies about our African kings & queens? #OurHistory I would love to see a film about Akhenaton and his beautiful wife Queen Nefertiti! Or Cetewayo, a king who was a war hero. Im about to drive to my office right now and start the development! New Hollywood Trend, Black king and queen films! Starring Black people!!” Below are 10 kings and queens whose extraordinary accomplishments would make great storylines for films. King Hannibal is said to be the greatest military leader and strategist of all time. Hannibal was born in 247 B.C., during the beginning of the decline of Carthage, then a maritime power near present-day Tunis in North Africa. The Carthage population was a mix of Africans and Phoenicians who were great merchants, trading with India, the people of the Mediterranean and the Scilly Isles. When he was very young, about 8 or 9, Hannibal accompanied his father Hamilclar in a battle against the Romans. Seventeen years later in 221 B.C., he succeeded his brother-in-law Hasdrubal, and became supreme commander of the peninsula. Hannibal had 80,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry, and 40 African war elephants. He conquered major portions of Spain and France, and all of Italy, except for Rome. Hannibal marched his army and war elephants through the Alps to surprise and conquer his enemies. In one battle, the Romans put 80,000 men on the field led by Scipio to defeat Hannibal. When Scipio attacked with his entire army, Hannibal had so studied the grounds that he arranged his African swordsmen and elephants to trampled and slaughter them. After killing thousands of Roman soilders in lengthy battle, Hannibal took his own life rather than surrender when he was overwhelmed by the larger Roman army. King Mansa Musa I (Emperor Moses) was an important Malian king, ruling from 1312 to 1337 and expanding the Mali influence over the Niger city-states of Timbuktu, Gao, and Djenne. Musa ruled the Mali Empire and was estimated to have been worth the equivalent of $400 billion in today’s currency, which makes him the richest man to ever walk this earth. The emperor was a master businessman and economist, and gained his wealth through Mali’s supply of gold, salt and ivory, the main commodities for most of the world during that time. Musa maintained a huge army that kept peace and policed the trade routes for his businesses. His armies pushed the borders of Mali from the Atlantic coast in the west; beyond the cities of Timbuktu and Gao in the east; and from the salt mines of Taghaza in the north to the gold mines of Wangar in the south. Musa was also a major influence on the University of Timbuktu, the world’s first university and the major learning institution for not just of Africa but the world. Timbuktu became a meeting place of poets, scholars and artists of Africa and the Middle East. Even after Mali declined, Timbuktu remained the major learning center of Africa for many years. Shaka, king of the Zulus, was born in 1787, the son of Zulu Chief Senzangakhona and his wife Nandi. When Shaka was 26, his father died and left the throne to a son, Sijuana. Shaka ambushed and killed Sijuana, taking leadership of the Zulus. He came to power around 1818. A strong leader and military innovator, Shaka is noted for revolutionizing 19th century Bantu warfare by first grouping regiments by age, and training his men to use standardized weapons and special tactics. He invented the “assegai,” a short stabbing spear, and marched his regiments in tight formation, using large shields to fend off the enemies throwing spears. Over the years, Shaka’s troops earned such a reputation that many enemies would flee at the sight of them. With cunning and confidence as his tools, Shaka built a small Zulu tribe into a powerful nation of more than a million people, and united all tribes in South Africa against European colonial rule. The Zulu nation continued to use Shaka’s innovations in wars after his death. Near the end of the 19th century, the British exiled King Prempeh from the hinterlands of the Gold Coast (present day Ghana), in an attempt to take over. By 1900, still not gaining control, the British sent a governor to the city of Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti, to demand the Golden Stool, the Ark of the Covenant for the Ashanti people. The Golden Stool was the supreme symbol of the sovereignty and the independence of the Ashanti, a people who inhabited dense rain forests of what is now the central portion of Ghana. The governor in no way understood the sacred significance of the Golden Stool, which according to tradition, contained the soul of the Ashanti. Nana Yaa Asantewa was present at the meeting with the governor and chiefs. When the meeting ended, and she was alone with the Ashanti chiefs, she said: “Now I have seen that some of you fear to fight for our king. If it were in the brave days of old, the days of Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anoyke and Opulu Ware, Ashanti chiefs would not sit down to see their king taken away without firing a shot. No white man could have dared speak to Ashanti chiefs in the way the governor spoke to you chiefs this morning.” Nana Yaa Asantewa’s speech stirred the men. She said, “If you men will not go forward, then we the women will. I will call upon my fellow women. We will fight the white men until the last of us falls in the battlefields.” The Ashantis, led by Nana Yaa Asantewa, fought very bravely. King Ramesses II, also referred to as Ramesses the Great, was the third Egyptian pharaoh of the 19th dynasty. He reigned from 1279 B.C. to 1213 B.C. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire. His successors and later Egyptians called him the “Great Ancestor.” Ramesses II led several military expeditions into the Levant, reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan. He also led expeditions south into Nubia, commemorated in inscriptions at the temples at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein. At age 14, Ramesses was appointed prince regent by his father Seti I. He is believed to have taken the throne in his late teens and is known to have ruled Egypt for 66 years and 2 months, according to Egypt’s contemporary historical records. He was once reported to have lived to 99 years old. Queen Nefertari was the Nubian queen from 1292 to 1225 B.C. One of a many great Nubian queens, Nefertari is heralded as the queen who wed for peace. Her marriage to Ramesses II began strictly as a political move, a sharing of power between two leaders. But not only did it grow into one of the greatest royal love affairs in history, but brought the hundred year war between Nubia and Egypt to an end. Their story was an armistice that lasted over a hundred years. Even today, a monument stands in Queen Nefertari’s honor. In fact, the temple which Ramesses built for her at Abu Simbel is one of the largest and most beautiful structures ever built to honor a wife. Amenhotep IV, better known as “Akhenaton” is in some respects the most remarkable of the pharaohs. Akhenaton is considered the founder of the first monotheistic religion. He ruled from approximately 1352 – 1336 B.C., coming into power after his father, Amenhotep III, died. Akhenaton’s reign left a profound effect on Egypt and the entire world of his day. Thirteen hundred years before Christ, he preached and lived the gospel of perfect love, brotherhood, and truth. Two thousand years before Muhammed, he taught the doctrine of the “one God.” Three thousand years before Darwin, he sensed the unity that runs through all living things. The account of Akhenaton is not complete without the story of his beautiful wife, Nefertiti. What is known is that the relationship between Akhenaton and Nefertiti was one of history’s first well-known love stories. At the prompting of Akhenaton and Nefertiti, sculptors and artists began to recreate life in its natural state, instead of the rigid and lifeless forms of early Egyptian art. Taharqa is probably one of the most famous rulers of Napatan Kush, reigning from 690 to 664 B.C.. At 16, this great Nubian king led his armies against the invading Assyrians in defense of his ally, Israel. This action earned him a place in the Bible (Isaiah 37:9, 2 Kings 19:9). During his 25-year rule, Taharqa controlled the largest empire in ancient Africa. His power was equaled only by the Assyrians. These two forces were in constant conflict, but despite continuous warfare, Taharqa was able to initiate a building program throughout his empire, which was overwhelming in scope. The number and majesty of his building projects were legendary, with the greatest being the temple at Gebel Barkal in the Sudan. The temple was carved from rock and decorated with images of Taharqa over 100 feet high. Queen Nzingha or “Amazon Queen of Matamba” was born in West Africa in 1583 and died 1663. Many women ranked among the great rulers of Africa, including this Angolan queen who was an astute diplomat and excelled as a military leader. When the slave-hunting Portuguese attacked the army of her brother’s kingdom, Nzingha was sent to negotiate the peace. She did so with astonishing skill and political tact, despite the fact that her brother had her only child killed. She later formed her own army against the Portuguese, and waged war for nearly 30 years. These battles were a unique moment in colonial history as Nzingha allied her nation with the Dutch, marking the first African-European alliance against a European oppressor. Nzingha continued to wield considerable influence among her subjects despite being forced into exile. Because of her quest for freedom and relentless drive to bring peace to her people, Nzingha remains a glimmering symbol of inspiration. In 960 B.C., the nation that is now called Ethiopia came back upon the center of the stage of history. Ethiopia was then represented by a queen, who in some books is referred to as “Makeda” or “Belkis.” She is better known to the world as the queen of Sheba. In his book, “World’s Great Men of Color,” J.A. Rogers , gives this description: “Out of the mists of 3,000 years, emerges this beautiful story of an African queen who, attracted by the fame of a Judean monarch, made a long journey to see him.” The queen of Sheba is said to have undertaken a long and difficult journey to Jerusalem to learn from the wisdom of the great King Solomon. Makeda and King Solomon were equally impressed with each other. Out of their relationship was born a son, Menelik I. This queen is said to have reigned over Sheba and Arabia as well as Ethiopia. The queen of Sheba’s capital was Debra Makeda, which she built for herself. In Ethiopia’s church of Aksum , there is a copy of what is said to be one of the Tables of Law that Solomon gave to Menelik I. The story of the queen of Sheba is deeply cherished in Ethiopia, as part of the national heritage. This African queen is mentioned in two holy books, the Bible and the Quran.

Melissa Joan Hart‘s new memoir is called “Melissa Explains It All,” and among the things the actress is explaining in the tome are her past drug-fueled exploits and celebrity hookups. Speaking to Life & Style magazine about the book, which comes out Oct. 29, the former teen star of “Clarissa Explains It All,” now 37, said, “I experimented with weed, Ecstasy, mushrooms and mescaline for about a year and a half.” She also claimed that in 1999, during her “third or fourth time on Ecstasy,” she made out in a limo with another girl on the way home, and then arrived at a photo shoot the next day while still high. However, Hart insists that, while she dabbled in drugs, she never became addicted. “I was kind of running with a bad crowd,” she said. “I just didn’t enjoy taking drugs. I don’t like the loss of control.” Hart also details some of her high-profile hookups in the book: She says she made out with Jerry O’Connell, whom she dubs a “man-whore,” and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. One star whose charms she didn’t succumb to: Ashton Kutcher, who she says she tried to eject from her parties not once, but twice, for making “smartass remarks.” Hart says, “Ashton and I just didn’t get along.”

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

Of course I don't think a deity could possibly have a personal relationship with all of the living entities that evolve in the universe the 'deity' created. Mans sense of importance is unbelievable. For some reason we seem to be very impressed with ourselves. All this religious stuff is so contradictory. The results seems to be a human deity with our sensibilities. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Surely a deity could do much better.
Today in a bakery, I was in line and because I was taught not to crowd people or especially to reach over someone, particularly an older lady, I allowed 2 feet between the two of us. When she was finished paying for a hot cup of coffee, I gave her plenty of room to put her card back in her wallet and zip her coat and prepare to go outside. Well, the cashier instantly began yelling NEXT NEXT… and motioning for me to reach over the woman who couldnt see me behind her, had hot coffee and was trying to load up. I refused. I stood there and said softly, "just amoment, when she gets finished." The cashier FROZE and gave me this evil stare… the woman turned around and looked at me like I had called her the c-word, she began franticlly stuffing things in her bag and rushed off looking over her should at me like she wanted to scream ASSHOLE. Of course, the worst thing possible in NYC is to make someone wait. I guess my politeness hit a nerve with that old hag.

One Direction have already conquered the music world -- now one of the fab five is set to take the football world by storm. Louis Tomlinson has signed a deal with English second division club Doncaster Rovers in one of the most bizarre deals for some time. Tomlinson, who stars alongside Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Pain, is part of biggest and most successful boy band on the planet. One Direction have broken record after record during their rise from losing in Britain's X-Factor competition in 2010 to becoming as big as the Beatles stateside. Managed by music mogul Simon Cowell, One Direction have had 61 album and single number one's world wide with their last album "Take Me Home" reaching top spot in 37 different countries. They are the only UK band to have had their first two albums reach No.1 in the U.S. and have over 18.5 million Facebook fans and 71 million combined followers on Twitter. Tomlinson, 21 was born in Doncaster and has signed a deal which means he could feature for the team at any point this season. He hopes his appearance for Rovers will help raise money for local charity Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. "This has always been a childhood dream for me," he told the club's official website. "I feel very honored to have been asked to sign for Rovers and being able to help both the club and the amazing charity Bluebell Wood is what it's all about." While Tomlinson is used to having thousands upon thousands of screaming "Directioners" cheering at him on stage, he'll be performing in far more modest surroundings at the 15,000 seater Keepmoat Stadium. As a child, Tomlinson used to attend games both as a fan and as a ball boy but his heavy work schedule means he will face a real challenge to be available for a cameo appearance. He will miss Doncaster's first game of the season against Blackpool on Saturday with One Direction set to perform in Las Vegas before the group move onto California. Tomlinson will then be touring Australia and New Zealand in September and October with the band appearing in Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne before moving onto Christchurch and Auckland. But that has not deterred Rovers, with the club fully aware of Tomlinson's ability to lure in new fans. "Louis has always been passionate about football and wanted to realize a dream of signing to his home town club where he once worked on match days," said a statement on the club's official website. "After discussions between Louis, Paul Dickov and media manager Steve Uttley, it was decided that the club could sign him and issue him with a squad number for the 2013/2014 season. "As part of the signing it is hoped that Louis will be able to appear in Rovers colors at some point this season in aid of Bluebell Wood and train with the lads. "Chairman John Ryan and the manager Paul Dickov have given Louis the number 28 shirt for this season to help him raise money for Bluebell Wood."
Since we have threads for other shows and I didn't see one for H5O...

Steve and Wo Fat aren't half-brothers despite fans' beliefs. Unless Steve's DNA test was changed or falsified.
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — More than 18 million television viewers watched Carrie Underwood perform the role of Maria last week in NBC's "The Sound of Music Live!" But Julie Andrews wasn't among them. Andrews, who starred in the 1965 Oscar-winning film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, explained, "Alas, I did not (see it). I had a speaking engagement and I couldn't. But my kids did record it. I'll get around to it." She attended the U.S. premiere Monday night of "Saving Mr. Banks," which depicts the battle between P.L. Travers, author of the "Mary Poppins" novels, and Walt Disney, who worked for decades to persuade the writer that the "Poppins" tales would make a fine film. "Saving Mr. Banks" picks up the story in 1961, when the London-based Travers finally agreed to a two-week visit to Los Angeles to meet with Disney and his creative team. Before signing over the film rights, Travers wanted to see Disney's treatment of her source material, and quickly proved a brutal critic and difficult collaborator — shredding key decisions about the film adaptation, including casting. In "Banks," Travers (played by Emma Thompson) goes on a tirade about the hiring of Dick Van Dyke. On the arrivals line, Van Dyke revealed an additional Travers tidbit that isn't in the movie. "Well, she wasn't thrilled with Julie, either," he said. "She wanted a dumpy little Mary Poppins. She didn't want a pretty girl. So, she didn't like either one of us." The Disney-Travers battle was concluded before Andrews was deep into production. "I had heard rumors, no doubt about it," the actress said, adding that she and Travers became friendly and later wrote letters to each other. "She was a tough lady," Andrews said. "But there was a kind of sadness underneath all that toughness, too." Disney ultimately won his battle with Travers, whose notes on the film were largely ignored. "Mary Poppins" would become the most profitable film of 1965 and is widely considered the crowning artistic achievement of Disney's lifetime. But Travers still wasn't happy with it, said Van Dyke. "Walt told me when the premiere was over, she met him in the lobby and said, 'The animation has to go, Walt' ... and Walt said, 'The boat sailed, Mary,'" recalled Van Dyke. "Saving Mr. Banks" opens in limited release in the U.S. this weekend.

Arm yourself with knowledge. This link includes all the info you need about the Affordable Care Act (aka "ObamaCare"), in plain English. It tells you what is in it, and when things to into effect. It explains this whole "is it a tax? is it a mandate?" thing as well... exposing all the lies the right is pushing. Know the facts. Then spread them around. Confront anyone who doesn't know what they're talking about, or who is spreading lies. Lots of great, easy to understand info at the link:
The men I've dated have generally been like me: a good balance between masculine and feminine, very un-stereoptypical. The straight people in my circle, both men and women, are pretty much the same. Now I'm dating a guy who has never been with a woman, is proudly and openly gay, but is stereotypically masculine (the only deviation from the straight "norm" is no love of sports). In our social relationship, I find myself taking the more "female" role. He's strong and protective, I'm nurturing and supportive. I'm intuitive and emotional, he's...not so much. He's a good cuddler, but he kisses like a straight guy. In the bedroom, however, the tables are turned. I'm in total charge, your basic pushy bottom. He loves to be submissive; when he tops me, it's upon my direction! I'm having a great time, but it blows my mind a little bit. I've had several long-lasting relationships before, but this is the first time we've played out the "straight" stereotypes so clearly. I've always shunned stereotypes. It's odd to be embracing them now. What are the role dynamics in your relationship?
Can't find any info . Isn't he touring or doing regional?
How will Andy subtly ask him if he is gay (like he did to Oprah?) "On twitter people are saying 'You Don't Swim in the lady pond"....Do you?'"
Wasn't she the go-to female child star at the time? And it's obvious her mother/manager wasn't afraid of edgy roles.
I am more hesitant about my choices here, because people are less vocal about their favorite male performances on DL than their favorite female performances. But again, I've left "Other--please list" as an option.

It’s a big day for John Hughes fans, as Sixteen Candles heartthrob Michael Schoeffling, who played dream guy Jake Ryan, celebrates his birthday today! It’s been nearly 30 years since the teen cult classic came out, and we can hardly believe it, but Michael is turning the big 5-3! Born on December 10, 1960 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Michael peaked in the industry at 23 as quiet, plaid-wearing dreamboat Jake. However, showing Molly Ringwald’s Sam that dreams come true turned out to be a problem for Mikey S. After the film, he appeared in only eight more movies and one television show before disappearing off the map. These included Vision Quest, Mermaids, and Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken, with the last of those, in 1991, his final movie before retiring from the industry at the ripe age of 31. Although he gave some interviews after, talking about how hard it was to find good roles once the magic wore off, he’s largely vanished. In a 2004 article, The Washington Post said that he hadn’t really been seen or heard from in years, having married a woman named Valerie, raised a couple kids, and worked as a carpenter in Pennsylvania. The rumor is that Michael’s wife is named Valerie Robinson, and that she (a former model) and Michael live in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania with their two kids, Scarlet and Zane. Though many have tried to find him, tracking down the handcrafted furniture shop he is said to be running, no one has been successful. We miss you, Jake Ryan — yeah, you — and hope, as you blow out your 53 candles, you remember that we’ll always love you, wherever you are.

The man giving a sign language interpretation to the world at Nelson Mandela's memorial service was a fake whose gestures meant nothing, it has been revealed. Bruno Druchen The national director of the Deaf Federation of South Africa said the unnamed man seen on television next to leaders like US President Barack Obama "was moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for." South African MP Wilma Newhoudt, a member of the ruling party, also said the man communicated nothing with his hand and arm movements. Both Mr Druchen and Ms Newhoudt are deaf. Three sign language experts said the man was not signing in South African or American sign languages. South African sign language covers all of the country's 11 official languages. Nicole Du Toit, an official sign language interpreter who also watched the broadcast, said he was an embarrassment. "It was horrible, an absolute circus, really really bad," she said. "Only he can understand those gestures."

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

The policy hasn't been enforced, it's just a reminder for the customers to be polite. [italic]A cafe on the French Riviera has gained international notoriety after reminding customers to mind their manners. What started as a local joke generated an internet buzz this week after a diner tweeted the sign outside the Petite Syrah in Nice on the Côte d'Azur. In an attempt to turn the tables on customers who complain that serving staff are rude, the manager warned he would hit impolite customers where it hurts, in the pocket. A sign outside the establishment states: "Un café - €7 [£5.90] "Un café s'il vous plaît - €4.25 "Bonjour, un café, s'il vous plaît - €1.40."[/italic]
The new wave of celebrity coming out dares you to not “bi” into it. Last week, diving champ Tom Daley posted a YouTube video intriguingly titled, “Something I want to say.” And it was a mouthful. Daley revealed that he’s in love with a guy (reportedly Oscar winning Milk writer Dustin Lance Black, though Black hasn’t confirmed that yet) and he’s deliriously happy about this development. But “of course I still fancy girls,” Daley significantly added. (That’s good news for girls, if not for Black, lol.) The week before that, Maria Bello—the Golden Globe-nominated actress from films like The Cooler, A History of Violence, and Prisoners—wrote a New York Times Modern Love essay describing how her relationship with her best friend (Clare Munn) eventually evolved into a romantic one, to the actress’s surprise and delight. In the article, Bello revealed that she told her 12-year-old son from an ex-boyfriend about the relationship, not sure of what to expect. His reaction? “Mom, love is love.” And that’s long been the most resonant message of the LGBT community. I’ve written before about people who pretend to be bisexual as a cover for their actual gayness, but that doesn’t discount the fact that millions of real bisexuals actually exist and that a relationship between any consenting adults is perfectly valid as long as they find it so. Just because some of us can’t fathom such a concept for ourselves doesn’t erase the reality that for many people looking for relationships, gender is not an issue, the person is. And that’s the same message gay men and lesbians have always propagated to justify their own relationships! Of course, the love flow can work both ways. In 1997, actress Anne Heche—who’d previously had relationships with men—hooked up with funny lady Ellen DeGeneres, as the world went wild flapping their gums about it. But when they broke up three years later, Heche took up with a man, as angry gay people called her a traitor and a phony. But Heche had already said that love involves falling for a person, regardless of expectations or labels. That seemed to me like a true statement of bisexuality, and her dating men again didn’t come off the least bit contradictory or hypocritical. So, let’s welcome Daley and Bello into our ranks regardless of the tags they might fall under. Let’s plug up the biphobia and open our minds to a world of romance where unscripted things happen all the time. Just please tell me off if I ever claim to still fancy girls.

I have a nose like Kevin Bacon, as far as when you look at me straight on, you can see my nostrils. I fucking hate it. It photos, I always have to tilt my head down so I don't look like a fucking pig. Oh and I'm a woman, which makes it that much worse. I also have a dent in the middle. It pretty much looks exactly like the linked photo, but with more prominent nostrils.
I've owned three sofas in my life and they have all worn out in a couple of years. They weren't supportive and were uncomfortable to sleep on. Look on Craigslist for sofas and you'll find a bunch of droopy misshapen cushions and wear and tear. Sofas just look bad after a few months. Is there something out there that's worth looking at? Anyone here know furniture who can lead me in e right direction? And yes, my sofas have been designer brands ($2000 and up in price) and no, I am not fat. Thanks in advance.

I've gotten into a nasty habit of staying up until 3 am or so, putzing about my house, because I do not want to go to sleep...because then it'd be morning and I'd have to go to work. I want to laze about for as long as I can. Anyway I am averaging about four hours of sleep per night and exhausted, but I want to extend my lazy hours and I dread the thought of going to work each morning, doing the commute, gobbling my cereal, etc. On the weekends I have no trouble tucking into bed at 11. Does anyone else do this?

BY SHAUN KITCHENER ON JULY 18, 2013 Zachary Quinto Splits From Glee's Jonathan Groff: 'They Remain Friends' Couple have reportedly gone their separate ways Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff have reportedly split up, but remain on good terms. The Star Trek actor is even thought to have seen Groff in a play recently, months after they parted ways unnoticed. According to Gossip Cop's source, rumours that the relationship ended explosively are false, and there is "nothing salacious" about the story. The couple confirmed they were an item last year, one year after Quinto announced that he is gay. Following the success of Star Trek Into Darkness earlier this year, Quinto will soon be diving into a threequel - and he reckons it could start shooting in 2014, despite JJ Abrams' involvement with Star Wars. "Star Trek 3 should be filming, I suppose, next year," he told Buzzhub. "It’s going to be made a lot quicker than the last one. That’s the plan, although nothing is confirmed yet." Groff, meanwhile, has previously appeared in 12 episodes of Glee in the recurring role of Jesse St James, and he's also been seen in The Good Wife and The Conspirator.

Please leave your judgment at the curb. We have been together for six years and it's time for us both to move on. We've stayed together about five years longer than I wanted to, because of finances and because of codependency. My finances - his codependency. I earn about $28K a year. He earns $130K a year. He just found out the biotech he works for has been sold and he's going to earn a little over $200,000 from stocks PLUS his $40,000 bonus come January. He wants to pay off $50K in debt, and save the rest for a huge downpayment on a house for us. I don't want a house. I want to be free of him. I care about him, but I don't love him. Our relationship is unhealthy. I'm 39, he's 47. I just want a clean break. I want to ask him to give me $50,000. That will still leave him with $190,000 after he pays his debt....plus all the money he makes every year! I don't think this is asking too much. He is a kind person, and he MIGHT give it to me. But of course, he doesn't HAVE to. How can I convince him - how can I win? I'm planning on bringing this up on January 1 so I still have some time to think about it.

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

Why was he such a horrible man?\ \ He treated the women in his life like dirt, and a couple of them apparently committed suicide because of it.
Governor Pat McCrory (R-NC) decided to talk about me when asked by a reporter with WFMY. He doesn’t know why a 12 year old girl would be at his gates at 10:30 at night. I wasn’t hungry for food. I had eaten dinner before I left and had chips, nuts, and drinks to bring and share with the other people demonstrating at the mansion that night. I was hungry for my rights and the rights and opportunities of my fellow citizens. Governor McCrory claims he tried to help me. He went on a conservative radio show over the summer and called me a prop for liberal groups and pretty much calls me the same thing here. This is not helping. It’s not helping the young people of North Carolina to have a leader who ignores and insults us. Shame on Governor McCrory. He responds to a young citizen with lies and his own sick version of a “Yo Momma” joke. My mom is not involved with Move On but I’m proud to have discovered them after the protest at his mansion and I’m proud to be a member. My petition to meet with the Governor has over 13,000 signatures. Governor McCrory fails to realize that each signature represents an ordinary citizen, just like me. I’m more convinced than ever Governor McCrory is incapable of leading North Carolina’s future. I hope that my latest petition on Move On will get even more signatures than my first. I want to see a federal law enacted giving 16 and 17 year olds the opportunity to pre-register to vote. This opportunity and the education programs that went along with it were taken from NC’s young people in the new voting bill signed by Governor McCrory. Governor McCrory did acknowledge that I’m a “very bright girl” but he doesn’t seem to realize that there are other bright young people in his state and around this country. We’re hungry. We are hungry for leadership who will feed us with knowledge, consideration, and opportunities and aid us in our task of creating a better future. “I had a 12 year old girl outside my gate at 10:30 at night, saying that she was hungry,” Pat McCrory said. The young people of this state and this nation will stand at every gate and we will make our voices heard at every hour. Make no mistake what it is we are hungry for.

He's 24, but she is older than his mother. He%E2%80%99s a strict Muslim, she has fervent Kabbalah beliefs. So it was hardly likely to last. Madonna, 52, has split from her lover Brahim Zaibat, a hip-hop dancer, after nine months, the Daily Mail has learned. Last night a close friend of Zaibat%E2%80%99s said sarcastically: %E2%80%98Who%E2%80%99s Madonna?%E2%80%99 The friend added: %E2%80%98Brahim has been home and he%E2%80%99s a single guy. %E2%80%98He%E2%80%99s no longer an item with Madonna. He%E2%80%99s very happy. There%E2%80%99s nothing more to say.%E2%80%99 He is believed to be lying low at his family%E2%80%99s home in Lyon in France. But Madonna was happy to be pictured stepping out alone at the Annual Costume Institute gala in New York this week. She sparkled in a floor-length blue gown adorned with stars down its back and designed by her friend Stella McCartney. Referring to Madonna%E2%80%99s devotion to Kabbalah, a mystical branch of Judaism, a source close to Zaibat added: %E2%80%98Brahim%E2%80%99s family had told him they did not want him going to Kabbalah meetings and wanted him to stick to his Muslim beliefs, which caused some rows. %E2%80%98Things started to turn sour and they were hardly seeing each other.%E2%80%99 The couple met in September last year and had been spotted at some of London%E2%80%99s most exclusive restaurants. Last year Zaibat%E2%80%99s mother Patricia Vidal told how she received a call from her son, who was in New York, when he revealed: %E2%80%98I%E2%80%99ve got a new girlfriend.%E2%80%99 The mother of four was unperturbed when he mentioned an age gap of eight years. She said: %E2%80%98You%E2%80%99ve always been mature for your age %E2%80%93 it will be good to spend some time with a girl who%E2%80%99s a bit older than you.%E2%80%99 But he replied: %E2%80%98No, she%E2%80%99s eight years older than you, mum %E2%80%93 and her name is Madonna.%E2%80%99 Mrs Vidal said: %E2%80%98My mouth fell open. Madonna was already a big star when I was a schoolgirl, let alone when Brahim was growing up. The whole situation is very strange indeed %E2%80%93 surreal even. Last night a spokesman for Madonna said: %E2%80%98We never comment on Madonna%E2%80%99s private life.%E2%80%99 Madonna, a mother of four, divorced film director Guy Ritchie in 2008 after eight years of marriage. She dated Brazilian model Jesus Luz %E2%80%93 who like Zaibat was 28 years her junior %E2%80%93 for a year until February 2010. She has a 14-year-old daughter, Lourdes, with former boyfriend Carlos Leon and a son, Rocco, ten, with Ritchie. Madonna then adopted David Banda from a Malawian orphanage in October 2006 %E2%80%93 with Ritchie %E2%80%93 and later adopted a little girl called Mercy James from Malawi by herself.

Starring Miss Swann (Alex Borstein)... Set in a geriatric extended care wing of a down-at-the-heels hospital, Getting On follows put-upon nurses, anxious doctors and administrators as they struggle with the darkly comic, brutally honest and quietly compassionate realities of caring for the elderly. Anyone watch? Thoughts? It's yet another American version of a BBC show.
She would have been twenty this week. Here's the entirety of the mysterious ransom note, for those of you who remember the case: ******** Mr. Ramsey, Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction. We do respect your bussiness [sic] but not the country that it serves. At this time we have your daughter in our posession [sic]. She is safe and unharmed and if you want her to see 1997, you must follow our instructions to the letter. You will withdraw $118,000.00 from your account. $100,000 will be in $100 bills and the remaining $18,000 in $20 bills. Make sure that you bring an adequate size attache to the bank. When you get home you will put the money in a brown paper bag. I will call you between 8 and 10 am tomorrow to instruct you on delivery. The delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence a [sic] earlier delivery pick-up of your daughter. Any deviation of my instructions will result in the immediate execution of your daughter. You will also be denied her remains for proper burial. The two gentlemen watching over your daughter do not particularly like you so I advise you not to provoke them. Speaking to anyone about your situation, such as Police, F.B.I., etc., will result in your daughter being beheaded. If we catch you talking to a stray dog, she dies. If you alert bank authorities, she dies. If the money is in any way marked or tampered with, she dies. You will be scanned for electronic devices and if any are found, she dies. You can try to deceive us but be warned that we are familiar with law enforcement countermeasures and tactics. You stand a 99% chance of killing your daughter if you try to out smart [sic] us. Follow our instructions and you stand a 100% chance of getting her back. You and your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the authorities. Don't try to grow a brain John. You are not the only fat cat around so don't think that killing will be difficult. Don't underestimate us John. Use that good southern common sense of yours. It is up to you now John! Victory! S.B.T.C.

For the last two days every time I try to use the Google Chrome browser to go to Huffington Post I get a stupid pop-up to connect to Huffington Post via Facebook and I can''t close it at all. I don''t care to link my Facebook account to them. This doesn''t happen when I use Firefox.\ \ Is anyone else getting this?
Is this a really good show or not? I watched the first 3 episodes a few months ago with the intention to watch all of them. I kind of just forgot about it and stopped watching. I didn't think it was bad, I just never had the compulsion to go back. But I see it's rated 3rd on IMDB's Top TV Series of all-time (right behind the brillian The Wire), so I'm thinking maybe I need to give it another chance. Are the first few episodes pretty much typical of the series, or does it actually get worth watching?
I understand that an inheritance is not a entitlement - and nobody owes anyone anything, even parents to children.\ \ But, it still kinda hurts that my brother and sister are getting the $1M house (already turned over in their name) and I''m left out.\ \ Oh well.

A black community college instructor in Minneapolis claims she was formally reprimanded over a discussion on racism in one of her classes. Shannon Gibney, an English faculty member at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, told MCTC student newspaper City College News in a video interview that three white students filed a complaint against her with the school after a discussion on structural racism in one of her communications classes. In the interview, which was posted by the college newspaper to YouTube, Gibney says a white student interrupted her lesson to ask "Why do we have to talk about this in every class?" Another white male in the class then chimed in, Gibney told the student paper, saying he didn't understand either. "It's like people are trying to say that white men are always the villains, the bad guys. Why do we have to say this?" the student asked, according to Gibney. Gibney said that when she told the students that they could file a complaint with the college's legal affairs department if they were so unhappy with the discussion, they took her up on her offer. That led to an official reprimand from the school in early November, she claims. Gibney told The Huffington Post she could not comment further because the case is in appeal. MCTC would not confirm that Gibney had been reprimanded after a student complaint, citing privacy laws. The school did, however, deny reprimanding her for leading a discussion on structural racism. "The college has taken no steps to prohibit faculty members from teaching about racism, including structural racism," college spokeswoman Dawn Skelly told HuffPost. "MCTC has never disciplined a faculty member for teaching or discussing structural racism. Conversations about race, class and power are important and regular parts of many classes at MCTC and have been for years." City College News reported that after Gibney spoke with the student newspaper, she was told she risks further punishment for violating the unnamed white male students' privacy. MCTC noted in a statement that nearly one in four of the school's employees are minorities, and that "of the eight new full-time faculty hires the college made for fall 2012, six are people of color." More than half of the 13,874 students enrolled at MCTC in fall 2013 are persons of color, according to the college. The story was first reported last month by City College News, but was picked up by outlets like the Raw Story and Salon on Monday. Gibney is not filing a lawsuit against the school, but is submitting a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging workplace discrimination at MCTC, Minnesota Public Radio reported.
Black College Instructor Claims She Was Punished For Discussing Racism
Archie Comics CEO Nancy Silberkleit stands accused by six employees of gender discrimination for among things allegedly calling them “penises” during business meetings to harass and intimidate them. The employees are seeking $32.5 million in civil damages for claims that she allegedly engaged in “destructive, dangerous, and at times deranged behavior.” Silberkleit, whose father-in-law helped found the company, took over as co-CEO in 2008 when her husband Michael passed away. She has categorically denied the allegations. There have been other legal entanglements at Archie Comics since Silberkliet, a former teacher, came on board: “She has been locked in a long-running legal battle over control of the company ever since — with employees accusing her of being mentally unstable and running the comic company into the ground.” According to the New York Post, she allegedly also “tried to get a Hell’s Angel to come to headquarters to intimate her underlings.” Silberkleit told the New York Daily News that the gender discrimination and other allegations were inaccurate and that “I do not act the way it’s been reported,” and that the accusations were “”extremely damaging to myself and Archie Comics.” In a legal filing this week, her lawyers argued that the workers had no legal claim because five of them, including the company president and editor-in-chief,were white men who aren’t considered a protected class under civil rights law. Silberkleit, 59, is running for mayor of Rye, N.Y., and also heads an anti-bullying foundation. Her lawyers may have to brush up on their legal research, however. In general, civil rights law prohibits discrimination on the basis of any race or gender. Also, employees over 40 have legal protections from age-based bias against them. The workers’ complaint argues that “While World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan did not stop the publication of Archie Comics, the war-like attitude and approach of Defendant may destroy Archie Comics unless this Court intervenes.”

Ellen DeGeneres is using her talk show to clear the air about recent rumors swirling around her relationship with wife Portia De Rossi. The 55-year-old addressed the reports during the opening monologue on Wednesday's show. All kidding aside, the talk show host's tone became more serious when she slammed the claims. "It's so ridiculous to me," DeGeneres told the audience. "There's not one ounce of truth to any of it. I'm very happily married. In fact, the only thing we ever argue about is who loves who more. That is all. It really is true." DeGeneres asked her fans to please trust her and admitted that if there is anything to know, she would "announce it here first."

George Eads will take a leave of absence from the long-running drama after engaging in a heated exchange with one of the show's writers, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The actor, who has played Nick Stokes since the series premiered in 2000, will appear in the first three episodes of CSI's upcoming 14th season. Producer CBS Television Studios declined to reveal a date for his return but said he would be back later this season. "George Eads will not appear in several episodes during the first half of the season. We look forward to him returning to CSI very soon," a rep for CBS TV Studios said in a statement to THR. The actor signed on to return as a regular along with the rest of the cast when CBS renewed the series in March. His absence, sources say, is not considered an attempt to renegotiate his contract. Eads -- and co-star Jorja Fox -- were both briefly fired from CSI in 2004 after a short-lived salary standoff with the network and studio. Instead, Eads was unhappy with the creative direction of his character, sources tell THR, and clashed with an eight-months-pregnant co-writer of a recent episode. Word of the incident is said to have gotten back to showrunner Carol Mendelsohn and resulted in a meeting that ended with Eads threatening to quit. A rep for Eads declined to comment. Eads is one of only three actors who have been with CSI from the start (Paul Guilfoyle and Eric Szmanda are the others). Fox left and later returned to the show. Sources tell THR that Eads' absence will be addressed in the fourth episode of the season when Catherine (Marg Helgenberger, who will reprise her role in the landmark 300th episode) hand-picks his character to receive special training at Quantico. CSI returns Sept. 25 on CBS.
There is an interesting article in the New Yorker (linked from a Daily Fail article, I know) about a sales clerk in a luxury mall in the US getting depressed being in contact with wealthy customers. The little time I worked in sales my favourite customers were those who had saved a long time to treat themselves to something wonderful. You could tell they weren't the type to max out their credit and how truly exciting it was for them. I would give them the most sumptuous wrapping and extra samples and freebies. With wealthy customers, I got all kinds, blasé, cheap, difficult, friendly and unassuming. I never felt depressed about it, but then again it was a short stint. The New Yorker article has interesting comments.

Most families enjoy watching Christmas programs and movies this time of year. Unfortunately not all Christmas features are wholesome entertainment. Glee's previously "Never Aired Christmas" episode should have stayed just that and remained unaired, considering it was complete with a bi-Santa, he-she Virgin Mary and its fair share of other questionable behavior. Glee is not a late-night program and is rated TV-14 DLSV. While it currently airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. CT, in February it will be moving to Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. CT – well before many children's bedtimes. Please send an email to this show's sponsors and let them know that we will not stand for Christianity to be mocked. Urge advertisers to place the program GLEE on their "do not advertise" list immediately.

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

[quote]A romantic reunion? Tom Daley arrives in the US...just days after he announces new relationship with a man 8 December 2013 He’s increasingly spent time Stateside since he was linked to Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. And British Olympian Tom Daley was spotted arriving in Houston, Texas, on Thursday after flying in from London. The 19-year-old was met at the airport by a blonde woman and the pair made a stop at Whole Foods on the way to his hotel. The handsome star wore a comfortable casual outfit for his travels, wearing an olive green T-shirt, a black quilted jacket , beige trousers and black high-top trainers. He looked relaxed and happy to arrive in Houston, where he is training for the UK Diving Championships in February, wearing a smile as he dragged two suitcases. He recently sparked speculation that his new relationship could be becoming serious, he was spotted ‘house-hunting' close to the Olympic Park, where he triumphed at last summer's Games. The Sun reported that the sports star was eying up a plush new pad with rumoured boyfriend Dustin Lance Black, a stone's throw from his new training ground in east London. 'They were both asking questions about the facilities so it looks like the two of them will be spending a lot of time together there,' an onlooker told the newspaper. The athlete's personal life was thrust into the limelight recently when he posted an emotional video on YouTube, saying he was dating a man. Although Tom hasn't confirmed the identity of his new beau, the pair were photographed grabbing a coffee together in Los Angeles in October, where the 39-year-old Milk screenwriter lives. His spokesman refused to comment on his rumoured house hunt, while the star has continued to live with his mother Debbie in his hometown of Plymouth after the Olympic Games. However it looks like he is ready to fly the nest as he focuses on training for Rio 2016 at the new aquatic centre. Tom revealed that making the decision to come out and reveal his sexuality was 'terrifying'. Speaking about his new love, Tom said: 'I’d never felt like anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn’t even spoken to him all night. I didn’t know what to do or if he was gay at first.' On the Jonathan Ross show Tom said: 'I’d never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly, I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can’t get him out of my head all the time. I’ve never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much.' Asked why he hasn't identified his beau, Tom said: 'At the moment, I wouldn’t like anything to change. 'I hope it doesn’t get ruined by the media attention, everyone has been so supportive and I hope it continues that way.'

TCM Kicks Off In Memoriam Season: Video By LISA DE MORAES, TV Columnist | Wednesday December 11, 2013 @ 12:13pm PST Turner Classic Movies last night premiered its annual In Memoriam video, TCM Remembers, in advance of the crush of In Memoriams that are unveiled during trophy-show season. Unlike those often controversial televised in memoriam segments – including, most loudly, this year's Emmycast – TCM's is not subject to the same time constraints, or politics. That said, it's already been chided, in comments made by YouTube viewers, for not including Cory Monteith or Paul Walker. This year's video was shot at The Lyric Fine Arts Theatre in Birmingham, Ala, which was built in 1914 and is currently undergoing a major restoration, for which a fundraising campaign just reached its $7 million fundraising goal, TCM reports.

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

Matt Damon knows the drill when it comes to the paparazzi, but he's sick and tired of being followed and photographed. In an interview with Playgirl (online), Damon shares his thoughts on being in the spotlight and admits that although he's fine with photographers following pal Ben Affleck's kids around, he's not okay with grown men chasing after him. "You can say what you want about Violet Affleck. You can yell at Seraphina with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow them around and take pictures all you want. I don't care. There are a couple of guys outside their school right now. Terrific. That's part of the deal. But it's wrong and disgusting to follow me around and take my picture and sell it for money," he tells Playgirl. "It makes me less safe. They used to take pictures of me coming out of my Latin lover's condo (which I bought for him and to preserve our privacy) in Miami, and so this stalker who had threatened to kill me and my boy toy showed up at the condo and got arrested. I mean, there are real practical dangers to this." "Ben's kids are celebrities. His fame whore wife and him made that deal ... As their father it's his job to keep their names in the tabloids in spite of his questionable choices of roles," Damon explains to Playgirl. "I try my very best to keep the paps away, and sometimes I'm successful. The tragic thing is, people who see those pictures naturally think it’s sweet. They don't see the gigantic former gang member with a huge lens standing over a forty three-year-old and screaming to get his attention." "I'm always looking down because I'm freaked out and scared of these people," he adds. "And so they yell. Which is fine if you're Lindsay Lohan coming out of a club, or Affleck's kids or any kids," remarks Damon. "With me it's tasteless at best."
This was in another Sound of Music Live thread but really, it deserves its own.
I've only recently become aware of this. I'm in my 50's and just recently received an unexpected phone call from someone I had graduated from high school with...way back when. I haven't given a thought to high school since I left...moved away from the town where I was raised, went to college, settled on the west coast and that was that. This former classmate somehow tracked me down (I have an unlisted number) and was badgering me about attending our 40th reunion. She mentioned that our class has a Facebook page and urged me look it up. I did and was shocked at how many of the people I graduated with seem rather obsessive about finding out all about other classmates and setting up files regarding where these classmates now live and the ones who have died, etc., etc, etc. Personally, I find this bizarre. I did not hate high school and was actually fairly popular, but once I left, I was gone. Some of these people seem to be hanging on for dear life.
The gossip continues.

A lot of people carp about "My Favorite Things" from THE SOUND OF MUSIC being appropriated as Christmas music but at least some of the lyrics evoke images of winter. And rattling off long lists of things we love is common in our consumer-driven culture. But when did "Over The Rainbow" become a Christmas song? I've seen this one popping up on more and more Christmas albums and holiday playlists. Doesn't sound Christmas-y to me at all. Are artists just desperate for another "new" song to record at the holidays?
Kimmel's the only one who can make me even crack a smile. Fallon is likable but not funny, Letterman was great once but should have gone off the air years ago. Leno is a travesty and Conan O'Brien is phoning it in big time now. Are there no funny people available to host these shows?
A nice Jewish girl relates her dating experience: In terms of being gay, what really was a complete and total surprise, is that my date yesterday, was absolutely gay, and unable to admit it. I went out last night, in a super cute outfit, with fabulous hair, and my date was gay. A Jewish, gorgeous, smart, funny, charming, and living in the closet, gay man. How did I know my date was gay? The first clue, was when he noticed my slight accent Canadian accent, and he asked me what my favorite Celine Dion song was. Before I could answer, he let me know his was a tie between Because You Loved Me, and My Heart Will Go On. Both of which he sang a few bars of. I thought perhaps he was kidding, because a lot of people make fun of my love of Celine, and blame my musical taste on being Canadian. So, I brought up hockey, thinking he would man up, and we’d be in business. I asked what team he supports, and he responded that he prefers figure skating, and loves Johnny Weir. That lead us into a lively ten minutes conversation about Dancing With The Stars, and what the chances were that Evan Lysacek could win. We then covered Project Runway, Shear Genius and The Real Housewives. For a minute I convinced myself that he was not gay, but instead, just perfect for me. A man who will not complain about watching reality television! The best part was when I excused myself to go to the bathroom. When I came back, he got up, and placed his hand on my back to guide me into the booth. First of all, when a man places his hand on your back, to guide you to your seat, through a door, or to your table, it is very sexy. I have always thought it is romantic, so when he did it, I thought for sure I was wrong, and he was not gay. Then it happened. His hand is on my back, and I have long hair, so when he places his hand on me, he touches my hair. Not just touches it, but strokes it. A man playing with my hair is enough to put me over the edge. I will profess my love for him, if he will play with my hair. I thought he was flirting by playing with my hair, but then it happened. He asked me what conditioner I used, and we then spent twenty minutes discussing hair products. My date was gay. Fabulous, and gay. He was smitten of course, because that’s how I roll. I attract, and am attracted to, gay men. There are many gay men in my life who I would marry. You know who you are. (Andy, Patrick, Scott, Paul, Howard, Peter) This list could go on, and on. He said he had a wonderful time, and asked me out for a second date. So cute. I told him I thought he was fabulous, had a wonderful time, but it was not a love connection for me. He said he understood, hoped we could be friends, gave me a wonderful hug, and asked if I wanted to see a movie this weekend, as friends. Here’s the nail in the coffin. I told him I would love to see a movie, and he suggested we see “The Last Song”, which he has been dying to see. There you have it. I had a great date last night, with a gay man. God bless him. I hope he figures it out, because he will be a terrific boyfriend to a very lucky man. I hope he sets himself free.
It's very distracting. It has that plastic sheen that people who have had too many facelifts get, and her mouth no longer moves realistically. Yet there are crinkly lines underneath her eyes. Was this an effort to make her look more "real"? If so, it ain't workin'.
I'm staying in a hotel in Europe. I thought they charged me when I checked in, but apparently they did not. They asked me to come downstairs and settle my account. When they did - MY CARD WAS DECLINED! I know that more than enough money to settle my bill will post to my checking account in 36 hours (one day before I am scheduled to leave). In the meantime - will they throw me out on the street? Have me arrested? I am worried to death in my room, waiting for a knock on the door.
Is anyone else as bummed out as I am by the choice of Alyssa Milano as the host of the All Star Show? She's always struck me as the epitome of C list Hollywood, a tv star without charm or talent, just a kind of throwaway name. Couldn't they have gotten someone else? The list of All-Stars is actually kind of interesting though -- they actually have some winners this time, not just the runner-ups.

My sister is driving home to FL from NYC after visiting me and on her way home, she fell asleep for a moment. The car hit the grass, did two 360s and ended up hitting a bunch of bushes (just missing trees). She said it all happened in slow motion. Thankful she wasn't hurt. She said she was looking for an exit so she could pull over just before the accident. This happened to me on the Angeles Crest Highway outside of LA once. There was black ice and the car did the same thing - two 360s next to a cliff without a guardrail. The car actually cut out two half circles in the snow where the front of the car swung out over the edge of the cliff but finally stopped on the road facing the same way I was going. I almost had to change my underwear. Have you ever had a road accident like this? My sister said nobody even stopped to help her!
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Two prominent U.S. and British anti-gay activists attended a conference in Jamaica over the weekend to urge their counterparts and the Jamaican government to retain that country’s colonial era law banning homosexual activity. The conference, organized by the Jamaican Coalition for a Healthy Society and the Christian Lawyers’ Association, was aimed at developing strategies to lobby against a proposed repeal of the anti-gay law. Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller, who said prior to her election in December 2011 that “no one should be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation,” has suggested that repealing the anti-gay law might come before the nation’s Houses of Parliament, but her government has yet to take any action. Jamaica has been described by some human rights groups as the most homophobic place on Earth because of the high level of violent crime directed at LGBT people. The U.S. Department of State said that in 2012, “homophobia was widespread in the country.” On Saturday, Peter LaBarbera, founder of the Naperville, Ill.-based group, Americans for the Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), warned conference attendees not to “sit idly by as so-called ‘LGBT activists’ manipulate words and laws to achieve dominance in your country.” LaBarbera reiterated the anti-gay propaganda that has formed the basis of his group’s message: “Homosexuals are made, they’re not born.” “The dirty little secret that the media and homosexual activists are desperate — desperate — to squelch is that people are coming out of homosexuality every day,” said LaBarbera. “This is the work of God, this is the work of Jesus,” he added, referring to so-called gay-to-straight conversation therapy endorsed by his group. LaBarbera, whose AFTAH organization has been labeled an anti-gay “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), also told the conference audience that he was working on a book on the connection between “homosexual activism and pedophiles.” He said that after winning rights like marriage and protection for gay kids in schools, “homosexual” activists were now championing the rights of MAPS, or “minor-attracted persons.” Also attending the conference was Andrea M. Williams, founder of U.K.-based Christian Concern, who — citing last week’s announcement by British Olympian Tom Daley that he was dating a man — said gay people are not born with same-sex attraction, that it is often “caused” by “the lack of the father,” and “sometimes a level of abuse,” suggesting a link between Daley’s father’s death and his same-sex attraction. “He [Daley] was loved by all the girls and had girlfriends, until he lost his father to cancer just a few years ago and he’s just come out on YouTube that he’s in a relationship with a man, that man is 39, a leading gay activist in the States,” she said. Williams urged Jamaicans to turn down aid from countries such as the U.S. and those in Europe who support LGBT rights. “Might it be that Jamaica says to the United States of America, says to Europe, ‘Enough! You cannot come in and attack our families. We will not accept aid or promotion tied to an agenda that is against God and destroys our families… If you win here, you will have an impact in the Caribbean and an impact across the globe.” Jamaican Justice Minister Mark Golding told conference attendees that he hoped to raise the issue of maintaining the ban as part of a broader review of the Jamaica’s sexual offenses law. LaBarbera isn’t the only American spreading the anti-LGBT message overseas. “As American groups opposed to LGBT rights are increasingly finding American audiences less receptive to their message, they are moving instead to spread their noxious propaganda overseas,” said Heidi Beirich, who heads the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.

He kind of pings to me.
how long until they die, on average? I am going through this with a loved one right now.
Specimen #1: Tall, lanky, swimmer's build. Nice looking with bdf for days. I first noticed him outside smoking when I checked in. Our eyes locked immediately. I was sitting on one of the sofas by the elevator last night when he, the wifey, and kid came back from dinner. Again, our eyes locked for a moment. He was dressed in a golf shirt and pants. Cut to three minutes later when he appears at the elevator in a wife beater, showcasing lean muscular arms and gave me a nod. Specimen #2: Ridiculously gorgeous fratjock type staying there with a slutty looking gf. The body is perfectly fit-fat, must be seen to be believed. I was sitting on the sofa when they checked in. He saw me checking him out. He appeared 10 minutes later, also in a wifebeater, headed toward the guest laundry to wash his clothers. His arms are so muscular...again he must be seen to be believed. Specimen #3: Hot as fuck black guy. Has one of those Muslin beards. Also walking around in a wife beater, showing off a tight lean build. Best asset is his oh-so muscular chest with a good amount of lush pit hair sticking out. He's noticed me noticing him. I want specimen #2 the most, as he is JUST. MY. TYPE. I would kill to see specimen #3 naked, as I think he has the biggest dick of the three, but he seems unapproachable. I do think specimen #1 is the most vulnerable to seduction, so should I just concentrate on bringing it home with him? Any suggestions/advice would be most appreciated.
He's one of the hunkiest men in baseball!!! Let's celebrate his looks, especially that muscular ass.
Have at them, girls.
Continue your foolishness.

worse than "Christmas Shoes". Local radio has been playing this frequently. I'd never heard it before. CHRISTMAS WITH A CAPITAL C. Ugh. There are more verses, but this will give you the gist of the song: "Brad Stine: "I remember when people said things like, 'Merry Christmas' to each other. EVERYBODY said, 'Merry Christmas! Hey, Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Lohenstein. Do you know why? Because it wasn't about a religion, it was about something as a culture that we thought was so valuable, even if I disagreed with the religion behind it, because it was good for ALL of us instead of just me. But what do people say now? 'Happy Holidays.' 'See, I just say, "Happy Holidays," because I don't want to say, "Merry Christmas," because you don't believe in Christmas, and I don't want to offend you, and...*chipmunk noises*'" It's called "Christmas"! I went to the coffee shop To get myself a mocha The lady at the counter Said, "Happy holidays" I said, "Thanks, lady, I am pretty happy; But there's only one holiday That makes me feel that way." And... It's called "Christmas" What more can I say? It's about the birth of Christ And you can't take that away You can call it something else But that's not what it will be It's called "Christmas" With a capital "C"" - Go Fish

A 6-year-old boy was suspended from school for sexual harassment and now his mother is fighting to get the incident removed from his school record. “It was during class, yeah. We were doing reading group and I leaned over and kissed her on the hand. That’s what happened,” Hunter Yelton said. For that kiss, the first-grader is home instead of at school. “I did something wrong. They sent me to the office, fair and square. I feel sorry,” he said. “She was fine with it, they are ‘boyfriend and girlfriend,’” said Hunter’s mother Jennifer Yelton. “The other children saw it and went to the music teacher. That was the day I had the meeting with the principal, where she first said sexual harassment. This is taking it to an extreme that doesn’t need to be met with a 6-year-old. Now my son is asking questions; ‘what is sex mommy?’ It should not ever be said, sex, in a sentence with a 6-year-old,” Yelton said. According to KRDO, both Hunter and his mom admit he has had some trouble at school in the past. He was suspended before for rough-housing and for kissing the same girl on the cheek. “We’ve been working with him with the classroom disruption. He was grounded for awhile. Big restrictions,” Yelton said. When asked if he was trying to be good in school, Hunter replied, “Yeah, but I have a lot of energy. I mean 6-year-olds, they have a lot of energy!” The superintendent at Hunter’s school says his record will remain within the district. He also stressed that Hunter’s actions fit the school policy description for sexual harassment. “How can you do this? How can you say this about my child? Remove sexual harassment, remove it from his record. I need to stand up and fight for him because that’s not the case. That’s not what happened at all,” Yelton said. A child clinical psychologist says it is normal for 6-year-old boys to try and kiss girls. She believes suspending him and calling the kiss a form of sexual harassment sends mixed messages to children. Instead, she believes the school should use it as a learning opportunity.

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

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

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

Salvation Army 'Does Not Consider Homosexual Orientation a Sin'
"Ori Van Lines" "lost" my computer (a three year old Mac desktop I'd packed in its original box) and my seven foot long 300 lb leather COUCH. They picked up my one room's worth of furniture in LA, including a large 3-D artwork, a dining room table, ten boxes of books, the computer box, two small tables and two very different couches. The foreman's "inventory", which I don't recall seeing at the time of pick up, apparently lists only one couch. Now, rushed and distracted, I may well have signed the guy's inventory (there is a signature, but it looks only sort of like mine). Thank god my landlord helped the movers load the truck and he specifically remembers loading my computer and the couch in question. When they delivered my stuff, two weeks later, to me in NYC, they'd lost the COMPUTER and one of two sofas. I immediately reported the missing items to "Ori Van Lines" and even sent photos of the missing items. Their response? Not "We're sorry, sir, and will do everything we can to find your property." Nope. The raging bitch, the "office manager", THE only person in charge at this Micky Mouse company, called ME a liar and told me -- TOLD me -- I was "doing it for the money". Thus, of course, she would be doing nothing to find them. Why look for things you don't believe exist? I mean, this idiot actually thinks that, to SCAM THEM, I chose, in advance, to "have had them lose", not an expensive watch or a jewelry box or a TV, but a seven foot long, 300 lb COUCH. Something very difficult to lose. I also "made up" a three year old computer that, new, cost $1,300 (The couch they DID deliver, a mid-century original, is worth $15,000). But, fuck the couch, you know? Fine! KEEP it! Enjoy it! Just find my computer! But, no. Wht even look when I'm a "liar"? Of course, there are many mitigating circumstances that point to my truthfulness and the existence of the items, but now that they've gone ON THE RECORD as NOT BELIEVING ME my stuff is just OUT THERE somewhere, UN-LOOKED-FOR!. "Ori Van Lines" has yet to even TALK to the driver who picked up my stuff! I'm pretty sure that, regardless of what he wrote on his inventory, he (unless HE'S a thief), remembers me and my TWO couches and my unusual artwork and my computer (which I packed right in front of him). And, since the subcontracted truck (driven by someone else) made four deliveries on its way to me, the guys could very easily have delivered, if not my huge sofa, my computer to one of those other customers. But, they have to be CALLED! Contacted! And, it's already two weeks after the DELIVERY date. "Ori" has no Lost Item Department, no Customer Service Rep, and neither do the sub-contracted movers, "B. Viva Moving". Essentially, "Ori", when I reported my missing items, called me a liar and did NOTHING. So, what do I DO? I don't WANT "the money". I want them to find my computer! It has to be somewhere! ALONG WITH MY HUGE LEATHER COUCH. Any advice? I don't even know what kind of lawyer to talk to. Do I go to small claims court? Is it really possible that the original driver and his men stole my stuff? I'm out $9,000. $5,000 for the sofa, $2,000 to replace the computer, and $2,000 for the move. But, if I could get even just the HARD DRIVE back, I'd forget the whole thing! YES I could have sent the computer UPS but even they lose things. "Ori" is insured and has a decent rating and I was moving a room full of stuff ANYWAY.... I have no money for a big court case, but the HELL this BITCH has put me through has screwed up two weeks of work and caused many sleepless nights because, aside from so carelessly and apathetically losing my computer, they have NOT even LOOKED FOR IT (and its hundreds of irreplaceable documents). I think I could sue for PUNITIVE damages. Yes? No? Right now, "Ori", who never once called me with an update OR returned my calls, won't TAKE my calls. Okay, I'll fill out the claim form, fine. But, I don't want new stuff. I want them to FIND my OLD STUFF! I want them to CARE and to TRY. Is there any way I can COMPEL them to TRY?

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

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

Does anyone here ever see this guy? He's on in the mornings here in New York, he dresses and acts like a sketchy used car salesman. He seems to think he's adorably funny, constantly snarks and then looks directly into the camera, he dresses like a Jersey mafia boss and does this weird thing where he bares his teeth when trying to smile. If you've seen him, you know what I'm talking about. It's incredibly weird. He also speaks in a rapid-fire way, like an auctioneer. Worst of all, the man can NOT forecast the weather. Every single week, without fail, he'll predict a "glorious weekend" or talk about how we'll have sun and "MAYBE a few clouds" in the coming weekend.. And every weekend he predicts this, we have clouds and rain 24/7. He seems terrified of actually reporting on what the actual weather for the day will be and fills his weather report with a lot of bullshit jokes and graphics but never just a straight weather forecast for the day.

I know most Dlers probably don''t give a shit, but I really wanted to know what are the "best" cities for black and latino gays. Well, "best" is based on the individual, so I guess I''m just asking about pure numbers, bars and nightlife, organizations, etc. Wherever gay blacks and latinos have the most presence.\ \ For Blacks, Not L.A. and San Francisco. So, Atlanta, NYC, DC, Chicago? Maybe Oakland?\ \ Latinos - NYC, Miami?\ \ And, if NYC, then what particular locations?

I've always wanted to vist India since I read Forster's A Passage to India at college. But the more I read about the country, the more revolted I become. I've just finished reading "Behind the Beautiful Forevers" about the Indian slums which makes you feel like India is living in the Middle Ages with the grinding, hopeless poverty and a caste system that makes slavery look benign by comparison. Then there is the story of a 23 yer old woman gang raped on a bus, revealing appalling misogyny by the police and the courts who pressure women to drop rape allegations. Does anyone ave eperiences travelling in India? It sounds like hell on earth.
If a trainer says that he offers "extras," what exactly is he saying?

I noticed a few recently. 1. Just before they go to Hollywood, Lucy is on the phone with her friend Marian Van Vlack discussing the trip. Couple of episodes later, when Mrs McGillicuddy arrives, Lucy asks her mother how Marian Van Vlack is doing, as if she hadn't had contact with her in ages. 2. In that same episode where Mrs McG arrives, she announces she wants to go Hollywood so she can take her book to Dore Schary, with the hope that he'll turn it into a screenplay. A few eps later, when they're all in Hollywood, Ricky makes a comment about Dore Shary, and Mrs McG shrieks over and over, "Who's Dore Schary? Who's Dore Schary?" 3. This one's a blooper: in an episode when they're getting ready to go to Europe, Fred brings his old vaudeville trunk to the Ricardos. The phone rings, and Ricky picks it up. I don't know if the sound people had the phone ring prematurely, but just after he picks up the phone, with phone to the ear, he turns to Fred and asks what that trunk is. Lucy has to quickly remind him that he's on the phone when she scoldingly says, "the phone, dear." Any others you can think of?
She is such a bitch.

Once again our struggling filmmaker Jordan Niednagel was an utter failure at the San Antonio Christian Film Festival, but his in-laws the Thomases, his sweet Meliss, and his seemingly rather withdrawn "bro" Nathan Daher threw a surprise 30th birthday party to ease the patriarchal pain. Meanwhile, young Marscel Thomas celebrated his youth by experimenting with a decidedly non-VF "look."

In some cultures in Africa, the naming of a child is a very important and sacred ceremony. The child is usually given a name that represents the situation of their birth or a name that represents the hopes and dreams the parents have for their child. When Africans were taken to America to become slaves, they were not only stripped of their clothes, they were also stripped of their names, taking their identities, and hopes and dreams. The slave master had deemed their meaningful African names too "exotic" and too hard to pronounce. In order to turn the slaves into mindless, chattel, upon which to build America's wealth, it was deemed necessary to rid the African people of a cultural identity. The slave masters usually gave slaves names from the bible such as, Luke, John, James, Joseph, Mary, Eve, and Ruth. Some were given short, percussive names such as Tom and Bill. During the time shortly before the Civil War, some masters named their slaves after the American forefathers such as Washington and Jefferson. After the Civil War, many slaves decided to reinvent their identity by making their names more unique. Common names such as Lucy were embellished to Lucinda. Some common Western names such as John and Mary began to fall out of favor with White people as more and more Black people began using them. Many Black people were not connected to their African roots, they didn't know much about the naming ceremonies, or the names that were traditional for their African ancestors. The need to celebrate their freedom and distinction from other cultures in America manifested itself in these changes and unique trends in naming. During the 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement was gaining momentum. Black people were eager to have equal rights in America, as well as discover their African roots, and create a unique Black culture. This manifested itself in the naming of Black children, and the re-naming of people involved in the Civil Rights movement. Many Black people had Arabic names as the Nation of Islam rose to power within the Black community. Names such as Malik, Raheem, and Fatima became popular. The Black boxer Cassius Clay re-named himself Muhammad Ali, and the famous Black basketball player Lew Alcindor, who is now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar changed his name in accordance with this trend within the Black community. Naming within the Black community got more creative as time went on. The creativity that invented the smooth sounds of Jazz and the unique, poetic flows of Hip-Hop spilled over into the naming of Black children. A mixture of Swahili-sounding names and pleasing percussive sounds gave birth to names like Lakesha, Swantezza, Johntae, Rashawn, and Shaquan. Dreams of prosperity and better lives for their children inspired parents to name their children after luxury items such as Lexus, Prada, Chanel, and Treasure. Qualities and nouns that parents felt described their children gave rise to names like Heaven, Omunique (pronounced I'm unique), and Precious. Blacks have been under fire for years for these "ghetto" names. Whites have continually persecuted and scorned the kids with these creative names without knowing the history behind them. Even Black people have begun to criticize those who give their children these creative names, saying that Black children should have more "normal" names. But why? Why should Black people's names be changed? Too often Whites and others attach Black stereotypes to these creative names. They feel as though people with these names are poor, uneducated, lazy, or criminals. The stereotypes have gotten worse as time goes on. In 2009, one of the most watched videos on Youtube was of two young men rattling off a list of "The Top 50 Ghetto Names." They included stereotypical references to watermelon and kool-aid. Many people laughed at the video, not really understanding why it was offensive, and the affect their ostracizing has on Black lives. In 2003, Marianne Bertrand, an associate professor at the University of Chicago graduate school of Business, and Sendhi Mullainathan of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, designed a study called "Are Emily and Brendan More Employable than Lakisha and Jamal?" The study was designed to see if there was any discrimination towards people with Black sounding in the screening of applications for different jobs. The team sent out over 5,000 applications answering want-ads in the Boston Globe and The Chicago Tribune. They gave each of the fake applicants either very White sounding names like Emily Walsh or Brendan Baker, or very Black sounding names like Jamal Jones or Lakisha Washington. The study showed that those with White-sounding names were 50 percent more likely to get a call for an interview for the job. It didn't even matter if the applicants with Black sounding names had more credentials, or were better qualified for the job. The field in which the applicants were trying to get a job didn't matter much either, the discrimination was the same across the board. Even jobs that posited that they were "Equal Opportunity" discriminated at pretty much the same rate. The lesson from this study and the history of Black names is that names represent an identity that was created after everything was taken from African people. More people should try to understand the rich history of this naming trend before labeling the people who have Black names as "ghetto" or incompetent. No one should be forced to change their name to be seen as qualified for any job. Anyone who thinks these names are stupid or outrageous doesn't understand that they are being duped into thinking that originality is a bad thing, who made them the all-important deciders of which names are "normal" and which names are not? It is absolutely illogical to try and infer what a person can or can't do, or how much they do or don't have, just by their names alone.
I want to know.
He looked particularly good last night on The Voice, dressed up and with his hair slicked back, Don Draper style. (And all the ugly tats were covered up as well.) It's a good look for him. He should make it permanent.
First sneak peek at the trailer. What do you think?
I'll be there this weekend. I had some miles and decided to see it at least once in my lifetime (San Francisco or Boston is more my speed for a weekend getaway). Any suggestions for the solo gay traveler? I kind of want to see Chippendales but would it be too weird to go alone?
I''m a 33 year old white guy and until now had only been "attracted" to other white guys. But about 3 months ago, I met a black guy, a friend of a friend, at a small party.\ \ We talked quite a bit at the party and I found him witty and very interesting. Still, I was not romantically attracted. At the end of the evening, Paul asked me for my number and asked if I would be open for drinks one day. I was caught a little off guard but gave him my number. \ \ Long story short, we went for drinks, which went well, made out, yada yada and now I could not be happier. I''m struggling with what my initial hesitance was to not being more open about dating someone not white.\ \ And to honest, I''m just dumbstruck as to how well this relationship is going. It''s still new, but it''s fucking good and Paul is fantastic:\ \ Tall and handsome\ \ Smart and funny\ \ Stable\ \ Sex is the best\ \ In some ways this has been to good to be true. \ \ What have been your experiences in interracial dating?

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

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

I've been watching Long Island Medium (sue me)...I was surprised to see the Long Island that is depicted on this show. A giant, Italian Roman Catholics middle class suburb. Very middle class. I thought Long Island was a bit more high end, with the Hamptons and whatnot. Is this what LI is like, by and large?
I noticed a few recently. 1. Even though the theme song says she's "fantastic... made of plastic," in some episodes it's clear in some episodes Vicki is made of metal because she's magnetic. 2. Although her name "Voice Input Child Identicant" as the acronym "VICI," they spell her name "Vicki" in several episodes and in the credits. 3. In certain episodes she has powers (like shrinking to tiny size or growing ten feet tall) she never exhibits in other episodes. 4. Although she is the most sophisticated computer on Earth that can perfectly mimic humans in all other ways, she cannot speak in other but a monotone, and yet no on catches on she's a robot. Because all of these inconsistencies MUST be logically explained and made coherent, I cannot rest until every single one of them is.

Mine: People who drive neck to neck on a 6 lane highway and under the speed limit. I don''t know if it''s where I live (on the coast, so people are more laid back) but every fucking morning I get stuck behind people lollygagging along doing 40 on a 45 mph road, so I normally do at least 55. All you can do is wait until one of them inches forward enough to squeeze in front. This morning I was doing 52 and left them all in the dust. WTF are they doing and do they ever look in the rearview mirror and see a mile of traffic behind them?
Almost every time I turn on my tv, there she is. Winning awards, nominated for tons of awards, performing on the Victoria Secret fashion show. Enough. She's not even that talented.
It drives me insane. I work with a woman who does this to everyone. What''s even worse is that her very loud interruptions usually have nothing to do with the topic of discussion. Also she will often walk into a room loudly proclaiming something. This woman practically yells when she speaks. What is wrong with people who behave this way? Do they even realize what they are doing?
I can't access it at all. Keeps popping up a message about new and improved speed. Then wants you to accept but when I do it times out. It's pissing me off.
They''re all so ridiculously good looking and hot. And don''t get me started on their thick, meaty bubble butts. They REALLY get my boihole all atwitter. Many of them are bi too. Most of the guys in my gym are Dominican, and I''ve slept with at least six of them in the past year. %0D\ %0D\ %0D\ I moved to Inwood last year, and they''re all around. They''re everywhere. It''s like a wet dream come to life. I never want to live anywhere else. Seriously addicted to these men. Surely there must be a 12-step program for me. Anyone else totally in awe of Dominican men?
I'm a rare gay that both loves sports and excels at them. Today, I went to my local park and played some pick up games with a few college aged straight guys. Naturally, my team won each game. Afterwards, we were all sitting around chatting. They were commenting on my balling skills, asking me if I played in college, etc. I let them know I was gay. One of the guys said, "I just got destroyed by a gay guy." I responded, "you wouldn't be first straight guy that said to me." We laughed; it was just typical banter that always happens after a game. Then we exchanged numbers for more pickup games later. Right. I know what those guys really want. Well, at least one of them. Haha I am telling you, sports is an awesome way to meet guys. I would encourage more gays to participate.

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

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

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

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

When you smoked, what were your preferred brands and why? For me it was Parliament non-menthols in high school and part of college, then Marlboro reds (shorts in the box) for a time, then a college friend smoked Benson & Hedges Menthol 100s and I was forever bumming so I started buying and smoking these cigs to pay her back. Then after college I went back to Marlboro reds (this time longs in the box) and finally I switched to Carlton 100s in the box. I smoked Carltons for over ten years and I was smoking this brand when I quit four years ago. At the time I switched to Carlton, they were the lowest tar and nicotine. I know, so what -- low tar makes no difference from a health standpoint. I don't want to pick up this expensive habit again, but in some small way I miss the ritual of smoking.

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

Do we know of any gay relationships he''s been in or of guys he''s bedded? Or is it all just rumor and innuendo?\ \ For the record, I hope he''s gay, and I''m certainly not one who needs "proof," but I''ve just never heard anything about actual gay behavior, and want to know what you all might have heard.
My niece is convinced my brother will shoot Santa because he will mistake him for an intruder. Nothing he says can convince her otherwise. Don't you think it's time he tell her the truth instead of letting her live in this state of anxiety?

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

I quit watching a lot of shows this year, but these were the ones I really enjoyed. What are yours? 1. Orphan Black 2. Broadchurch 3. The Good Wife 4. Mad Men 5. American Horror Story 6. Parenthood 7. Masters of Sex 8. Parks and Recreation 9. The White Queen 10. Veep I could never get into Breaking Bad, Scandal, Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy or Boardwalk Empire. I still watch Modern Family, Project Runway and Walking Dead,but the good days are behind them. I still watch Top Chef and Survivor and Girls sometimes. I quit watching The New Girl, Nashville, Vampire Diaries, Revenge and Grimm this season. Gave up on Glee and Grey's Anatomy a while back. No I'm neither fat nor live in a basement. I have a bf and a social life; TV is my relaxation.
I have an old basement. It gets a tad moist in the summertime. I actually do have a dehumidifier though. I've done everything but redo the entire thing. However, you know how cellars get, the smell, the dust. My question is - I have a number of books and doodads that I just can't fit in the rest of my house. No, I'm not a hoarder, it's not a ton. lol. I'm wondering if there are any airtight boxes, or some way I could put stuff down there and have them not be damaged and not smell of cellar. TIA, experts!

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

Anybody else watching this at US pace? It's an amazing French series about various people who've died at various points in time who suddenly reappear with no explanation. The acting is uniformly wonderful and the young man who plays Simon is exceptionally beautiful.
What I mean is, I have yet to meet a straight man who lusts after a butch lesbian or a straight chick who finds a flaming gay man hot. That is because they are opposite sex attracted. Does it not make perfect sense that a same sex attracted individual would not find someone who looks and acts like the opposite sex attractive? If I was attracted to masculine buzz cut women, I would be straight!

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

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

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

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

It can't be healthy for them. Christian Bale has done it multiple times.

Now he's put on an extra fifty pounds for American Hustle. Isn't this incredibly physically dangerous to keep doing? The strain on his heart must be immense.

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

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

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

I took a cooking class and I thought the chef was a hottie. I saw him in his t shirt before he put on the white coat and felt lust in my heart. He did not really flirt back but seemed receptive with smiles etc. \ \ When he left the room for a minute one of other students who knew him told me that he was straight and very married. \ \ After the class I apologized and he said that one should never apologize for being complimentary and kind. I think he meant it. \ \ I wish everyone felt this way.
Like a tuck driver or mechanic or machine operator or lifting heavy objects? Do your coworkers know you're gay?
Like they'd be basically open to anything? (NSFW)
I can't figure it out. It's not that we need someone to do actual heavy lifting for us, or to physically protect me. All muscles really mean is that someone is physically disciplined for a long period of time and has enough leisure time to go regularly to the gym.
'taint nobody's business if he do!
I don't think we've had a poll on this particular topic since he came out.

Who knew this was a trend? Yeesh.
Ronaldo was attending the official launch of his new underwear range, CR7, and anyone wondering what his debut collection looks like didn’t have to look too far - a 19-metre tall campaign image featuring the chiseled winger in all his glory was suspended above in the landmark building’s renaissance courtyard. Meanwhile the man in question, never shy about coming forward, was clearly delighted as he posed for photos between its legs. ‘I am very proud to officially launch CR7 today and especially to see my campaign image displayed in this beautiful building, one of the most famous landmarks in Madrid,’ he said.‘I put a lot of passion and dedication into creating this new underwear line and I am delighted to finally launch it globally today. ‘ Ronaldo has previously modelled for Armani Jeans, but his latest campaign marks an inaugural brand venture and his first attempt at fashion designing. His design debut was aided by Richard Chai – best known for his collaborations with Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen.‘Fashion and design are two passions of mine and I have wanted to launch my own brand for a long time. Working on this collection alongside Richard has given me a great creative outlet and I have loved every part of collaborating on the range, from selecting the colours and designs to testing the styles and fits myself,’ he said. ‘I am very proud that the collection is launching worldwide today.’ Ronaldo's new underwear range will be available to buy via www.cr7underwear.com from November 1.
Did they not know he was gayer than Richard Simmons on a unicorn? I mean, look at the photo. He's clasping his hands in a pose that just screams MARY! And I don't mean the holy one, either!
You learn something new every day.
Please play nice, or don't play at all.
I've been testing my levels. They seem to go up and down a lot. Am I doing it wrong?
is because you suspect Dustin might be HIV positive. You know that's the real reason.
I just learned that 50s/60s sitcom star Bea Benederet of Burns & Allen/Petticoat Junction fame (and btw, Lucy's first choice for the Ethel Mertz role), is the mother of actor Jack Bannon (pictured; "Lou Grant", among many shows), who played Scott Easton, the character who stole Val's babies on Knots Landing. This is fascinating. Any others I should be aware of?
OVERALL, do you think Michelle has a keen sense of fashion style, or do you think her style OVERALL, is a dud? \ \ Include pix to your replies if you like.

Premieres tonight, bitches.
I submit that Ashton Kutcher is prettier than either Mila Kunis or Demi Moore.
Here it is - the moment we have been waiting for! Have at it, bitches!
I admit it: I wouldn''t mind her life. Married to a rock star, huge career, tons of money, attractive, famous parents, jet-set lifestyle, etc.
Taking some time away from the industry to better himself, Adam Shankman checked in to a rehabilitation center on Monday (December 9). The "Hairspray" director's representative released a statement reading, "Adam Shankman is currently seeking treatment in a rehabilitation center. His friends and family support him and wish him well on his journey to recovery." On Sunday, the 49-year-old made an appearance at Trevor Live LA. Mr. Shankman has spearheaded numerous films, including "Rock of Ages" and "The Wedding Planner."
You're 35! Stay as sweet!

Damn boy!
Once you had carnal relations with a man of African-American descent, it's very unusual to go back.

"Hi Joyce this is Heather Dubrow, just so you know I turned down Siberia..I have a letter from my agent.."
Why didn't this incident get the high-profile Matthew Shepard treatment?
Today is my 97th birthday. I am a lucky man. I've been married to my wife, Anne, for 60 years and she continues to captivate me. When you get to be 97, you can reflect on the lessons you've learned in almost a century of life. Mark Twain said, "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." I won't pretend that getting older is easy. But I find that it's given me a perspective that I lacked when I was younger. I was always running everywhere -- from meetings to movie sets, from shooting films all around the world to serving as a goodwill ambassador for the State Department in over forty countries. Staying still was something I did not do well. Now, I treasure the quiet times: reading books that make me think about new ideas; watching my roses bloom; gazing at the palm trees shimmering against the afternoon sky; seeing the simple path of a cloud across the sky; and especially sitting with Anne in front of the fire at sunset -- the Golden Hour. So I asked myself, what do I want for my birthday? There's nothing I need, other than good health for my wife and my family. Suddenly it occurred to me that I knew exactly what I wanted -- a better world for my grandchildren. But have you ever tried to put 97 candles on a cake? You can't. So I put 10 candles to represent the 10 decades of my life. Here are my birthday wishes: *A world where weapons, big and small, are symbols of weakness, not strength *A world where religion informs values, not governments *A world where the air is breathable, the water drinkable and the food is healthy and plentiful *A world where poor people are the smallest percentage of the population *A world where education and health care are available to everyone *A world where prejudice based on race, religion and nationality is non-existent *A world where smoking tobacco is considered a ridiculous practice from a bygone era *A world where all diseases are curable and physical pain is no longer a part of life *A world where we control technology, not the other way around *A world where greed is never considered good Excuse me -- I have a lot of candles to blow out.
Great character actor. Loved him in Thelma & Louise, Fatal Instinct, Quiz Show and all of the many films he's been in--small or big budget. He also had a great ass back in the day, particularly in Grease 2.
Who are these idiots?
Tablets are all the rage now so now he must have one too. Obviously I'm not going to get him an iPad or Kindle Fire. Is Kobo or Boogie a good brand. They're the only tablets within my budget. Thanks.
[quote]When he’s working in New York, he shares his apartment downtown with his personal assistant, Spencer Soloman, a 38-year-old former dancer and camera man, who became close with Radcliffe’s family when he was teaching the actor to dance for “How to Succeed.” Soloman and Sam [i.e. his hunky bodyguard, pictured at link] function, in some ways, like older brothers: fun, but responsible and organized. Soloman plans Radcliffe’s schedule and talks to his father, agents and publicists two or three times a day; he might tell Radcliffe when he needs to shave for a photo shoot or search their apartment for a garment that his stylist wants him to wear for some occasion.
