We were better off when we were just the gay rights movement and none of these other freaks were parasitically piggybacking off of us to get rights for themselves. We would have gotten our rights 30 years ago if it hadn't been for bisexuals and transgenders, the real self-loathers in our community. Bisexuals are self-loathing because they add fuel to the fire of homophobia, mainly their own. Why else do they usually marry the opposite sex while screwing the same sex on the side? And Tom Daley was never, ever bi. Anyone who believes that probably also still believes in Santa Claus. Transgenders are some of the biggest homophobes I've ever met. Just because you're gay and your Gender Identity Disorder is so severe, it causes you to want to mutilate your body in order to conform to heteronormative standards, it does not give you the right to make the homophobic and vaguely racist comments you made about RuPaul. These two groups have been a pair of albatrosses around our collective necks for decades, and it's time we took them off.

(condensed version of his OP-ED) The gay community has a chip on its shoulder from the politicians and preachers that it once fought, passing it off as a never-again mentality. That’s bunk. It’s not a popular opinion, but it’s true: the gay lobby has become the bully. The absurdity of it all is that we’ve won. Not every member of the queer community. Far from it. And hardly all of our brothers, sisters and fellow queer people worldwide have experienced the same victory that we have. But if we’re talking about middle-class white gay men in Canada? Hell, we arguably have it better than the average straight guy. That’s not a comfortable, or perhaps even conceivable, thought for a population so well trained in cultural guerrilla warfare. At the end of the day, where does it end? Do we go after every person who actively works against us? Do we destroy every funder of anti-gay movements — like Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich? Do we attack everyone who speaks out or makes a one-off comment — like Ted Bird or reality-TV bachelor Juan Pablo? Institutionalized homophobia, transphobia, racism or discrimination should always be fought. But teasing out the personal convictions of anyone and using it as a basis to take them out? That’s exactly what we experienced, and we know how oppressive it feels. The queer community won its rights — and will continue to win its rights — by engaging the debate and winning. We won’t cement those rights in place by turning around and taking shots at those who haven’t come around to seeing us as normal, yet. And we don’t reduce violence by engaging the state to attack our enemies. We do the opposite. Gay rights are not a lucky break brought about by fooling the populace at large. Gay rights are not a fragile peace that can be broken by a man in a sandwich board with a strongly worded leaflet. Gay rights are the product of decades of struggle, and if you think a few holdouts are going to threaten that, you have another think coming, sister. If you want to stand up for closeted youth or marginalized queer populations or our oppressed cohorts overseas, do it not by demonizing the few who don’t like us, but by holding up the millions who do. -Justin Ling

I find myself posting more and more on imdb because none of the threads are moving all that much and logged out of contribution code and found that shockingly that is is not even prime time. Has a portion of the elderly dl posters died or something or have the middle aged ones lost interest? It's really a lot less busy than last year or two years ago.
For those of you who watch.
And I'm talking about people who still turn you on in their current form, not celebs you'd bang for nostagic purposes (because they looked good in their prime). I would definitely go to bed with Warren Beatty who's still wonderfully preserved at the age of 77. And actor/producer/director Tony Bill still looks good at 74.

I say "stupid" not because I''ve seen it, but the commercials for it make me nauseous with the acappella "dah dah da dah dah dah dahhh" music, tight shots of the cast members looking pensively into the camera or repeating some mega cheesy line, the dark haired woman who seems like she poses for every shot of every scene she''s in.\ \ Seriously, it must be the most douchey show on television if it resembles the commercials in the least.

They're lawyers or doctors who would never even think of smoking. One time this girl posted a picture of her in front of a street address that said 420 and thought it was so funny. I asked if she smoked pot and she said no.

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

I'm so sad this show is over. Mamie is such a star and really came out from behind her mother's shadow. I wish more people had given this a chance. It at least deserved to play out a full season and receive a proper ending. Maybe this will free up Ms. Gummer to return to the stage. Here's hoping for a DVD release.

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

Why he could be gay/bi: 1. He hangs with the "gay posse" Colton Haynes, Matthew Morrison, JC Chasez, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgely, etc. 2. He LOVES Les Mis 3. There've been rumors about him and Penn Badgely, him and Colton Haynes, etc. 4. Not linked with any girls recently. Why he could be straight: 1. He might hang with the "gay posse" simply because they all have the same manager? 2. There's just not much evidence on his Twitter that he's into guys or into gay interested, as opposed to Jonathan Bennett, who follows EVERY hot guy on Twitter. 3. He had a fucking BEARD recently (the hairy kind, not the female kind). I don't know any gay guys that grow facial hair! How come Shawn Pyfrom hasn't been acting lately? What has he been up to?
He's gay, right? I'm watching him give the forecast on Good Day NY in my doctor's office. He's incredibly muscular, really well-groomed, and has a certain "pingy" quality about him. So what's the verdict on this gorgeous weather hottie?

That's basically the plot of the films the Purge. The u.s. is in economic trouble and so to stimulate the economy. The rationale being it lets out all the anger and hate that's trapped inside everyone. I watched the trailers for both films and was sickened by them. And I usually am fascinated with films of this nature. What would you do on that night? I would most likely be hiding. And do you think something like this happen in real life.

So recently at a Julie Ruin show (Kathleen Hanna’s new joint), folks unrolled a banner in the balcony that said “APOLOGIZE FOR MICHIGAN.” Got that? The woman who isn’t playing this year, and hasn’t played for about 6 years, is being told to apologize to the trans community for ever having set foot at Michigan. Bow down, bitches. I want everyone to recognize that Michigan is a space of liberation. All those individuals out there who have never set foot there, who only know it through the rampant ignorance they have read on the internet, Michigan is not fucking Lillith Fair. It isn’t a fucking white party. It sure as shit isn’t a Dinah Shore skirts weekend. Michigan is revolutionary. I am showing these pictures, because words can’t explain it until you are there. Males are not allowed on the land (over the age of 10) except to suck the shit out of the porta-janes. We don’t even allow music with male voices in it. It is a space where we allow. females. to. reign. In that space, there are not threats of male violence. We walk in the woods, at night, without light and without fear. And for our trouble, every year when we show up there is graffiti from the local guys: ”DIEDYKES.” ”WEAREGONNAGETYOUBITCHES.” One year,they even snuck on the land and hung the little girl’s dolls in nooses from the trees. Sound familiar? And still we rise. Why? Because in that space, women do everything. They build the stages, they put in the plumbing, they hang the lights, they put up the scaffolding, they cook the food, they chainsaw the trees, they build the files, they counsel, they serve. THEY PROTECT. We leave our children to play without fear. We leave our bodies out, as is, without shame. We present in all of our gender non-conforming beauty, without ridicule. We are fat, hairy, femme, gorgeous, bearded, skinny, pregnant, masectomied, and any and all combination stated and not. At Michigan, we are everything, unapologetically. All while being female. Clearly. Without question. We are this world. We release from our bodies the years of protection and armoring that we carry within and upon ourselves; we dismantle our built up walls to protect ourselves from unwanted ogling, attention, violent words and thoughts. We release from our bodies things we have never lived without in patriarchy. We release the “close your legs,” “act more ladylike,” “ooh, you bled through your pants,” “stop being bossy”, “girls don’t...,” “I can smell your stinky pussy,” the”can’t you wear a dress?” We put it down entirely. It is gone. And you don’t understand the amount of space that fear holds in you until it is gone. And in that time that it is gone, the you of you fills that space. And that bell cannot be unrung. And that you of you helps you survive the year a better, bigger, and more complete female. This is enough to declare war. Because any woman who has become embodied is unstoppable. She is an amazon and a warrior and can do and will do anything. And this is why these people are trying to destroy or shame women out of this space. There are several other women’s music festivals that welcome all women. These people aren’t going to those. They don’t care about the culture, about the music, about the recovery. They care only about the dominance. This isn’t about equality. It is the patriarchal, colonial intent of “MINE.” And the women who assist these efforts are so brainwashed, so accustomed to male domination, that they walk alongside and facilitate it. The females who need this space the most are working hardest to undermine it. I don’t fear Michigan disappearing because over 40 years, the community of Michigan (all those other weeks of the year) have spread; the tendrils are huge. We are immediate and real and true and we are all over the globe with those lights inside of us. So that cannot be erased; that power is in the world. Out there are more lives to be saved, and these people are trying to tear that down. So for all trans women of conscience. I beg you. Get your girls. Speak out like Calpernia Addams in PUBLIC.

I have the strong sense when I'm around women that they operate with a lot of shame. Almost all of the women I know - as direct, fun and open as they can be - seem to be hiding shame of some kind. So what are women most ashamed of? Is it their bodies - the fat, the heavy thighs, the folds, all the things that are anatomically "normal" about being a woman? Is it their genitalia, rather than their bodies in general? Like they feel "dirty" or the menses bother them or leave them feeling unclean (in some weird way)? Is it their families and background? Their lack of education - educated women almost always seem determined to let you know it as soon as they can. What are women so ashamed of? (And, no, this isn't a thread for a poll.)
Tom Daley: I’m definitely gay not bisexual 3rd April 2014, 10:45 AM; Scott Roberts Five months after saying he still fancied girls, Tom Daley says “I am a gay man now”. Speaking on ITV2′s Celebrity Juice the 19-year-old Olympic medalist also said his relationship with Oscar winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, 39, is “all good”. Explaining why he initially suggested he was bisexual, Daley said: “I came out on YouTube as I wanted to say what I wanted to say without anyone twisting it. “I told my family before I told the world. I was terrified. I did not know what the reaction was going to be. “I did it on YouTube because people were constantly digging and asking questions.” Daley’s relationship with Black was exposed days after he posted the coming out video. “It really was love at first sight,” Daley told ITV’s Jonathan Ross after going public with their romance. “I’d never felt anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn’t even spoken to him all night. “I didn’t know what to do or if he was gay at first. I made the first move, I typed ‘call me’ in his notes with a smiley face on this phone and the next day he texted.” Celebrity Juice airs tonight on ITV2 at 10pm.

Enough of this shit already! Some cunts set a bomb off. The brave people are the ones who fought back from their injuries and who suffered the loss of their loved ones and hunted down the bombers. Wearing tshirts and waving Red Sox banners doesn't make you "strong". What the fuck was the city supposed to do anyway, melt the fuck down and cease operations? Seriously, it's become the new "Stronger than the Storm" and "We Will Rebuild". We're going to be deluged with this crap the next 7 days so get ready. It's all going to be about how the city "came back" and is "stronger than ever" etc. etc. When did tragedies become tourism marketing campaigns and why would they make entire cities or states heroes for having lived through it when those people had nothing to do with surviving it?

Never seem to lose the amount of weight they targeted. They usually lose 20-30 lbs and then "end their relationship with the company" when they needed to lose 50 or 60 or 80lbs. Queen Latifa, Carrie Fisher, Rebel Wilson. There are others I can't remember.

Keri Russell is in it. It's all 1980s Cold War bullshit. It's a Republican lovefest. Will people just let go of the Reagan era already? For fuck's sake. The title card has a hammer and sickle in it (Communist symbol). The show was created by a retired military guy. The shit written on IMDB's message board is a Republican wankfest.

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

All this talk of Bryan Singer reminded me that in Shirley Temple's NYTimes obit, she had said a studio mogul once pulled his dick out when she was in his office alone with him, but all she did was giggle and so he put it back in and didn't bother her. But surely many child stars have been molested. Who? And by whom?
These were the people I asked to come over Sunday at 9 for drinks & to watch "Game of Thrones" (they don't have cable) who would have brought their dog had I warned them not to. The friend just emailed and told me his partner wanted to bring something, "perhaps a savory pie." I find dishes like that disgusting, and wrote back to him asking them not to bring anything, just themselves. He wrote again saying, "But my partner insists we bring something!" and I responded, "If you really want to bring something, just bring a simple snack... please, nothing elaborate, and please, please, nothing savory." I already regret inviting them over.
Both huge and very round.
Hello LA DLers, my boyfriend and I are headed to LA this weeekend for a friend's wedding. We are staying in West Hollywood at the Andaz hotel. We arrive early afternoon on Saturday and have dinner reservations at Sur and then planning on going to Saturday Night Slut, Jonny McGovern's party. Sunday it's just walking around and seeing sights. I am guessing most places will be closed for Easter. Monday is the wedding and we are headed back on Tuesday. Is there anything we should definitely plan on doing? Sunday will be entirely ours. You have an good ideas for brunch?
certain anonymous commenter has become internet-infamous in the last few weeks by dropping some incredibly detailed, disturbing and very insidery gossip about Hollywood — regarding incest, pedophilia, and secret call girl rings that allegedly involve young starlets like Hayden Panettiere and Amanda Bynes — in the comments section of a popular blind item blog. Crazier than what he's saying is who many believe is doing the blabbing: Robert Downey Jr. The blog Crazy Days and Nights, supposedly written by an entertainment lawyer (who goes by the handle "Enty"), has been around for a few years and is known mostly for its blind items and the biannual "reveals" of said blind items that the author rolls out every January 1 and July 4. But two weeks ago, things over there got really juicy. It all started with a particularly sad blind item: This former B list television actress who was on a really big hit network show just a couple of years ago now just seems to float mindlessly and flit between boyfriends. She comes from a broken home and abusive home. Her dad used to beat her and get into bed with her. Her mom just let it happen because she was being beaten herself and did not want to provoke. Well, now the actress who is still very young only seems to date boyfriends who are abusive and willing to hit her. Her last boyfriend (former A list athlete with B list name recognition) was so scared that he would kill her he broke up with her. Her new celebrity boyfriend does not punch nearly as hard but seems to love it. Probably getting out his anger because he is closeted. Many immediately guessed the actress to be Hayden Panettiere. (Her mother had actually pressed charges against her father for battery before filing for divorce last year. Also, Hayden's ex-boyfriend is a boxer, hence, the "punch" wordplay.) The mention of abuse and molestation made this blind item pretty dark, but things got even darker in the comments section when prolific CDAN commenter Himmmm chimed in with some very serious accusations: So here goes: Yes, this IS Hayden. 100% totally. I know this for a FACT. The wording of this item is NOT 100% correct - which may be intentional to deny it legally, but it is close. But there's far more to this than is being mentioned, revealed, or even hinted at. For all you GoogleSleuths out there just look up the past news stories about her Dad getting arrested on "domestic" issues - then her mom dropping it. It's not just about a fight, smack, or basic domestic issues. It's about sexual perversions, videotapes, witnesses, and the loss of MONEY and FAME. I am a FORMER personal "friend" of a woman named Diana Jenkins. Doubt you know her, but she's the Rosetta Stone of every scandal and perversion from Hwood all over the globe. She's an Uber-wealthy divorcee whose hubby ran UK's Barclay's bank - and she ran the Arab investors for the bank! She's been running a high class call girl/party-girl ring for Arabs, Wall Street, DC, Royals, and Hollywood elites. She's also a MAJOR philanthropist, arts supporter, political donor, and social hostess to EVERYONE. Her best Hwood pals include Sean Penn, Clive Davis, Ari Emanuel, George Clooney, Cindy Crawford, and her "little pet" named Hayden. Diana is the connector of wealthy Arabs and Asians and Athletes with Hwood actresses/models. She also is a sick and twisted bitch. When Hayden and her own Mommy went on the outs, Diana Jenkins took that place in her life, by Hayden's choice. Leslie P. is not just a poor victim in this trainwreck. Trust me. She's at LEAST 50% responsible (if not more) for encouraging, enabling, and at times even participating in her hubby's twisted fucking life. Leslie's kinks cross the line into depravity, illegality, and inhuman sickness. As in: Ryan ONeal, John Phillips, Tish Cyrus, and Dan Schnieder territory. (Far worse than Pimpa Joe Simpson!)
Any questions?

They killed their adoptive (stolen) daughter, Lisa, back in the late 1980s. Hedda got off easy because Joel beat her up, too. She was embraced by the feminists and Joel served prison time before being released about 2 years ago. They were two fucked up, messed up people. Joel was a lawyer and Hedda edited children's books. What went wrong with this educated couple?
I've just seen this movie for the first time and I can't get that gorgeous dress out of my mind. This was definitely Edith Head's best work. And apparently the dress was one of the items Debbie Reynolds recently sold at auction. Which one of you lucky bitches bought the dress?! The movie was also surprisingly good and just as deliciously campy as The Ten Commandments. I especially loved homely Angela Lansbury who played Hedy's OLDER sister and it was funny how all the men wanted to marry Angela's character instead of Hedy's in the beginning.

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

The Avengers movies have a mostly white male cast. All straight, apparently. Wouldn't it be awesome to introduce Captain Marvel (the former Ms Marvel) into that universe, as an amalgam of the Mar-Vell, Monica Rambeau and Carol Danvers versions? Half Kree, and aware of it, but not too different from us until Nick Fury gives her the Nega Bands that give her powers. They're keyed to her unique genes, but when she has them she has her cosmic comic powers- flight, semi-invulnerable, strength and power blasts- plus a link to the Kree. "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" could have her on the team. Hell, she should be named Monica Danvers Mar-Vell, just to give a nod to all three characters. I would watch a documentary on saving albino snakes in Burma if Lupita was the star- she is a true star. Marvel should lock her into a 6 picture deal NOW, and bring a real super powered black woman into the MCU.
May the games begin again.

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

Berlin has buried every trace of the Third Reich—with one big exception. During a recent week in Berlin, I found myself, again and again, doing Berlin things. There’s really no way around it, in Berlin. On my first evening, a friend took me after midnight to the voluminous abandoned basement of an office building that, as far as I could tell, sat dormant 364 days a year, but this night was the site of a roving weekly gay dance party called Horse Meat Disco. The DJ spun Italian disco; bartenders sold artisanal sparkling juice. I visited the Museum der Dinge—the Museum of Things—which displays collections of mundane objects: ashtrays, faucets, sardine tins, household keys, cellphones, candlesticks, lightbulbs, sieves, soap dishes. I saw Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo play at the Lido, formerly a movie theater that was one of the few cinemas in East Berlin to show Western films, and came across a store that sold Sonic Youth winter hats. I heard English spoken often, but almost exclusively by nonnative speakers. I subleased an apartment connected to a clothing boutique that sold a shirt made out of pants: the collar was the unzipped fly; the sleeves were the pant legs. Over my futon hung a life-size photograph of a naked woman being branded on one ass cheek. The neighborhood restaurants were Turkish, Syrian, Moroccan, Sudanese, French, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Cantonese. I didn’t come across a single schnitzel. I ate matzo-ball soup and a pastrami sandwich at a restaurant that, modeling itself after Katz’s Delicatessen, aspires to bring “classic” New York food culture to Berlin. The restaurant is situated in a classroom of a former school for Jewish girls. The school closed in 1942, when most of its students and teachers were sent to concentration camps to be tortured and murdered. The pastrami was gross: slippery with fat and garishly pink. Berlin is caught between the future and the past, which is not the same as being of the present. Berlin is caught between the future and the past, which is not the same as being of the present. The city has solved, for instance, many of the problems that will continue to bedevil metropolises for decades to come. Urban planners visit from around the world to study its vast, efficient public-transportation system, its elaborate network of bicycle lanes (more trips are made by bike in Berlin than in any other European city), its generous integration of parks and canals, and its imaginative transformation of industrial and manufacturing sites. Because few buildings survived the war, Berlin has become a showroom for architects like Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Zaha Hadid, and Frank Gehry, whose sleek glass-and-metal hexagons, ziggurats, hyperboloids, and orbs possess the cold, austere gigantism that science-fiction films have taught us to expect from the dystopian cities of the future. Yet the past constantly asserts itself. Berlin is a nostalgic city, its nostalgia extending to every part of the past except its own recent history. You see this in the quantity and quality of its museums; in its many tributes to Prussian glory, which include the Brandenburg Gate, the Victory Column, and statues of Frederick the Great and Otto von Bismarck; and in the ubiquity of stores dedicated to selling magazines, books, vinyl records, and vintage clothing. While it’s impossible, especially during the uniformly gray winter months, not to feel haunted by the knowledge of the atrocities that were plotted and carried out in the city, it’s also nearly impossible to see any traces of that history. The few Third Reich monuments that survived the war have been razed or repurposed to prevent them from becoming neo-Nazi shrines. Hitler’s bunker is now covered by a parking lot. His chancellery has been replaced by apartments and Peking Ente, a Chinese restaurant. Five thousand Soviet soldiers are buried beneath the lawns of Treptower Park; 2,000 more lie under the Tiergarten.

TOM Cruise‘s beauty secret has been revealed — and it’s not pretty! According to a new report, the actor, 49, has enlisted the services of a beautician to give him placenta-based facials in the run-up to next month’s Oscars. “Tom loves it because it keeps him looking young,” a source said. Tom — who turns 50 in July, 2012 — recently insisted getting older won’t slow him down. “I feel good,” said Cruise, who is back on screens in Mission: Impossible 4. “I just did Rock of Ages and I felt good. I feel very lucky to still be doing this and to still be able to do it the way I want. I’m excited about turning 50 but it won’t change me.”

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

Whoa! Jordan Sargent has balls the size of church bells! Nick: A source I spoke with today relayed what's now a familiar refrain to me: "everybody in Hollywood knew about Bryan Singer." But what he also said was that people like you and Harvey Levin are aware of the culture of barely legal guys saddling up to all types of rich and powerful gay men in L.A. (and New York) but have neglected to publish those stories, for whatever reason. (Because people at the top of very large corporations would be implicated?) Is that claim true? It seems plausible (if not likely) that someone of your stature would have heard whisperings—or seen first hand—the culture that surrounds people like Bryan Singer (and that's to say nothing of Harvey Levin).
Gawker writer confronts Nick Denton about his knowledge of "barely legal" boys at sex parties
I turned 35 last year and I''m finding that I''ve come to re-access a lot of things in my life. Things that I''ve once valued or yearned for no longer hold the same sway over me as they did 10 years ago.\ \ One thing that has been really gnawing at me lately is that I think I''m getting over New York and urban life in general. While I do love the convenience, culture and (some) of the friends I''ve made here, there are a lot of things I can gladly do without. The overbearing crowds, the stench in the summer. Paying a king''s ransom for a small one bedroom. Finding genuine people that I can trust. \ \ I''ve started fantasizing about life in a smaller, suburban town. A cute cottage district in New England, or perhaps a sleepy, peaceful town somewhere down South.\ \ Thoughts?
I just started watching. Fucking hilarious. Shame we can't have such a fun talk show here in America. No way celebrities would be so loose and, dare I say a bit debauched, in the US. Maybe because sometimes they drink on the show and get a bit buzzed. Anyway, I love it. The most recent one I saw was Matt Damon, Bill Murray, and Hugh Bonneville (Lord Grantham from Downton Abbey). Any other fans?

Sean Anderson, 25, of Smithtown, NY killed himself and another driver on the Southern State Parkway at about 4 pm on Good Friday. Anderson was driving a Subaru (which appears to have a donut spare tire on one of its wheels) and killed Jacques Louis, 39, who was driving a mustang. From overhead shots, you can see a large bloodstain on the ground (which in later photos is covered with traffic cones), so I'm guessing good old Sean wasn't wearing a seatbelt and got thrown clear. Here's the good part. A post from Sean's Facebook page "I love driving in new york.there's always another duschbag whose a bigger dusche bag then the first dusche bag.and special thanks to the suffolk/nassau police for topping the charts for being the highest paid cops in the country keep handing out those tickets. Mn I can't wait to leave this god forsaken state so I don't hafta keep out driving our highly trained doughnut eating cops.its a sad day when some1 can outrun the police in their parents mini van in less then 5 miles way to go suffolk cops" It would be a perfect Darwin if he hadn't killed a human being.
Blackhawks Coach Joel Quenneville Fined 25K For Grabbing His Crotch, Yelling Expletive By John Amato April 18, 2014 4:52 pm Chicago Blackhawks coach, Joel Quenneville was so upset at a no call for delay of game that he grabbed his crotch and yelled "s*ck my balls" to the referees which was clearly visible to everyone. I was watching the triple overtime playoff game between Chicago and St. Louis Thursday night which was won by the Blues. It was a thrilling game with end-to-end action, but the side story was all about the Chicago Blackhawks coach, Joel Quenneville. He was so upset at a no call for delay of game that he grabbed his crotch and yelled "suck my balls" to the referees. His lips are easy to read in this instance. I was laughing so hard that I made sure to grab the video off of my TV. The NHL fined him 25K for inappropriate actions. [quote]The NHL has fined Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville $25,000 for inappropriate conduct during Thursday's first-round playoff game against the St. Louis Blues. [quote]The puck was sent out of play at 6:51 of the second overtime of the Blues' 4-3 three-overtime win. The officials were meeting to discuss whether the Blues should be called for delay of game after a player apparently shot the puck over the glass and out of play, a penalty that would have given the Blackhawks a 5-on-3 advantage for 36 seconds. [quote]Quenneville was seen on camera gesturing to the officials that the puck went over the glass. When the call went against the Blackhawks, Quenneville appeared to grab his groin area and yell something at the officials. [quote]Quenneville apologized for his actions earlier Friday. [quote]"I was definitely excited," he said. "Disappointed [in] the call, but I'll apologize for my behavior. It wasn't appropriate at all. It was a bush-league move on my part." I love the NHL playoffs. There's almost nothing better in sports than these games.
looked hot as hell last night on the premier of "Melissa & Joey". I don''t care for the shaved head, but that body and ass looked fine.
I am enjoying it thoroughly. Anyone watching? I like the actress playing the lead character and her clones, and really enjoy the gay foster brother (I've always had a thing for hot campy guys). Maria Doyle Kennedy does "woebegone and stern" very well (The Tudors; Downton), but I have a feeling she'll get a chance to show more as the foster mom/grandmother as this goes on.

Just watched "Friendly Persuasion" this afternoon. Anthony Perkins was very good in it (nominated for an Oscar). I was reminded how handsome he was in prime. He had relationships with Tab Hunter, Paul Newman Rock Hudson, Troy Donahue, Rudolf Nureyev, Paul Newman, and James Dean. That makes for some fun imaging...................
Will he work again?
Because he is beautuful and talented and there are many of us who like to share our admiration. And to R600 on the 'Was he born with that ass part III' - I wasn't sure I could start a new thread via my iphone. In past attempts I have always run into a glitch. Carry on.

This one frau got the okay to come in 11am now through the end of summer in order to accommodate some re-scheduling of her brat's camp schedule. Of course she still takes a full lunch break, spends all afternoon yapping with the other fraus, and doesn't stay past 5. A few months ago, when my cat was ill, I requested to leave an hour early for a week in order to get home in time to give her her medicine. I was denied, with the reason that if they make allowances for me, they'll have to do the same for other employees. If that's not a double standard, I don't know what is. These fraus who vomit up a few kids have it so easy and are master manipulators at using these brats as excuses for getting out of doing work. They actually don't get enough for credit for that. Bravo, fraus.

Who are the actresses and actors (and directors and writers) who fucked themselves the worst, and lost the potential of great careers over a long period of time? Aside from the obvious picks of psychological messes such as Marilyn, and Montgomery Clift (who didn't do too bad even if they were self-destructive), who could have been better or bigger but threw it all away? I think Mickey Rourke had a lot more going for him than he ever managed to make happen. He killed it. KZJ may have picked up an underserved Oscar for reasons beyond my comprehension, but her combined mental and substance issues really screwed what could have been a wonderful career. Just go back to her big break in ZORRO and see how great she could have been. Bening fucked herself with that marriage. What was she thinking. THE GRIFTERS alone is evidence enough of someone who should have had a huge career, not just one that has always felt like "almost" and "yeah, but." AMERICAN BEAUTY should have had a series of similar accomplishments. Some people might include Winona Ryder here, but I think she's an example of someone who did well for no reason associated with talent. Inept at every turn. Her klepto mess was just the public piece of a great disorder that spared us even more bad performances, right? Glenda Jackson is a special case - she hit the top of her niche and stayed there a while, and then walked away. A rational career destruction.

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

I was in NYC in the '80s when it really fell out of favor with anyone who was younger or even slightly hip. It seemed to become less and less desirable, as downtown took over as the place where it was all happening. My little summarisation may be totally off the mark, but I wanted to get the ball rolling and that's sort of how I remember it. I was just wondering what it's like today. I'm guessing the mega-rich parts are even more meg-rich...but what about the peripheries?
Some reviews mention this, but others don't, so I don't know if this is supposed to be a major plot revelation on the film. It was covered in articles when the book came out (see below.) He grew up to be a top Reagan and Bush I administration lawyer, responsible for among other things, gerrymandering. But he was also gay, and dying of AIDS. Are you able to have sympathy for such a person?
Never had one before this morning. I was shaving and noticed that my left eye looked strange. No pain or uncomfortable feeling, but a closer look revealed blood at the bottom of the eye. Hopped on the internets and it relieved my mind about what I was experiencing. Hopefully it will remedy itself in the not too distant future. I have been sneezing a lot from the allergens that surround me. I think maybe the triple sneeze that almost blew my nose off last night may have something to do with this thing. Knowledge is power.

[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.
So here’s the gist: comedian Alan Carr appears in a new PETA campaign in which he knowingly camps it up with pink fairy wings and a magic wand and proclaims ‘Be a Little Fairy for Animals!’ Annnd that’s somehow homophobic according the reaction Alan’s received from numerous gay people who see it as a harmful advancement of gay stereotypes in mainstream culture. Like Ryan John Butler who Tweeted, “Anyone find the new PETA ad campaign really fucking offensive? Basically: gay men = fairies.” If a gay man dresses in drag and appears on national television to compete for a prize, does that make all gay men drag queens? If a straight guy shaves his head to appear in a commercial for the Army, do straight men = soldiers? The argument doesn’t even merit consideration. If someone wants to act like a fairy, good on them! Why should we all have to adhere to the heteronormative version of our politically correct identities? How boring… Luckily, Alan has a sense of humor. Here’s how he’s responded via Twitter: The 'fairy' in the @Peta campaign refers to my 'Tooth Fairy' DVD that's all. Take my advice if you act like a victim you get treated like 1. Don't worry twitter they'll be another bandwagon you can jump on in a minute zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Hey and before all you oh so worthy gays get back on your high horse the most homophobia I get is from gays. #selfloathing Anyway let's be positive it's a beautiful day!

They've finally released 1964's [italic]Where Love Has Gone[/italic], a melodrama with the triple threat of Bette Davis, Susan Hayward and Joey Heatherton as three generations of women in a socially prominent San Francisco family. It's an expensive-but-cheap ripoff of the Lana Turner/Cheryl Crane murder case, and while it's not a top-shelf classic, it was well worth waiting for. If you want to see where Helen Lawson came from, it's this role, where Susan Hayward chews the scenery and the drapes as an internationally renowned sculptor AND nymphomaniac, whose daughter Joey stabs her lover to death with a sculptor's chisel. Watching Hayward wield a welding torch wearing goggles and a yellow chiffon scarf is priceless, but not as good as the flashback scenes, where the fortyish Hayward is cast as a twentyish World War II wife (with the same red cast-iron hairdo and smoker's wrinkles). And Joey's prison cell, with an iron bed, sink in the wall, and a completely incongruous enormous mid-60s bedroom table lamp, is genius. Best lines: Someone about Hayward's murdered "bookkeeper" -- "He knew little about double-entry bookkeeping %E2%80%93 but plenty about DOUBLE-ENTRY HOUSEKEEPING." DeForest Kelley as Hayward's pipe-sucking agent: "So the old Valerie Hayden is back. Sculptor. Painter. ALLEYCAT!" Mike Connors: "You're not a woman %E2%80%93 you're a DISEASE!" Has anyone else caught this reissued little gem?

That's basically the plot of the films the Purge. The u.s. is in economic trouble and so to stimulate the economy. The rationale being it lets out all the anger and hate that's trapped inside everyone. I watched the trailers for both films and was sickened by them. And I usually am fascinated with films of this nature. What would you do on that night? I would most likely be hiding. And do you think something like this happen in real life.
Is there any reason why this would not be true? I'm not making a value judgment - this is just an observation and I'm wondering if it's valid.

I've read of this being very staged, so the BF and I have been crawling the web for many of these people after being frustrated is seeing so many people near or around our own ages being able to just pick up, leave jobs and buy fabulous homes in exotic places. On one recent episode, we're treated to the house hunting of Paul Sloan and his wife Suzanne, (she's originally from Tahiti). We're shown that Paul has had enough of his hectic lifestyle as a marketing exec. in Los Angeles. And, being told by both the narrator AND Paul Sloan himself, he's decided to quit his job, pick up the wife and son, (Maui. Yes, their kid's name is Maui.) and move them to Tahiti... to find a house with a budget of $700,000.00 Paul states that they'll be living solely on their savings and that he has no job. It even shows him coming home for allegedly the last day of his job. The wife is over-the-top high maintenance, and they eventually settle on a home within their budget and are shown to be living happily ever after on the island.... Only, it isn't true. Digging up information on this guy, (we used Lexis and Google as well as FaceBook and LinkedIn), we found out he never actually left California and is the director of sales and marketing for the tourism arm of San Louis Obispo, California. Paul Sloan Tweets under his own (@pstahiti1) name and it's clear from his social media postings he lives nowhere near Tahiti, or at least fulltime. On his private webpage, his profile states he's operated diving schools in Mexico, the Caribbean and.... TAHITI!! SO: The Sloans are apparently better off than we've been left to believe, they operate businesses in Tahiti after the show portrays Paul as a complete newcomer to the islands, and they live, at least most of the time, back in California. Yeah, I know we knew these shows were heavily staged, I just thought we'd have some fun with getting the lowdown on some of their subject matters and finding out as much as we could on one of these couple, and of course I wanted to share it with my DL friends. SERIOUSLY HGTV?!?

This would typically illicit waterlogged memories from childhood of watching the elevators open and the blood rushing out in "The Shining". My parents were very lax with rules when I was growing up and I was somehow able to watch the following film on TV at a very young age by myself (bad idea!). %0D %0D I have to say the scenes from a film that have potentially scarred me the most are from the 1982 Jill Clayburgh film "I'm Dancing As Fast as I Can". I think I might've been about seven or eight years old. In the film, Clayburgh plays real-life Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Barbara Gordon. Against her doctor's orders she tries to detox in her apartment from a severe addiction to Valium, cold turkey. Her live-in boyfriend (who is, himself, an alcoholic and played by the extremely creepy Nicol Williamson) is helping her by, essentially, not letting her leave the house. There's a scene where he is passed out drunk and she is trying to creep out of her apartment. He catches her, beats the ever-living shit out of her and then when she comes to, she's tied to a chair in their bedroom, bruised and bloodied. It might be the domestic abuse that arises out of what was a simple addiction plotline, but it is so horrifying as to almost eclipse the dark hell of withdrawal Clayburgh portrays. I think a man punching a woman is extremely difficult to watch for some reason.%0D %0D She eventually gets out of the situation by pretending that they have a dinner engagement with another couple. She convinces her boyfriend that she'd better call them and make up some excuse so they don't come looking for her. When he agrees and gets the couple on the telephone, she starts screaming for help. They eventually come over and save her. %0D
Damn, that sounds like pig meat heaven.
I'm not religious, in fact, I don't believe in much from the over-hyped agenda pushed by organized religion. However, there is a certain clarity on these holidays that comes from the astrological alignment in our solar system. Of course, this alignment is the basis of all religion. Some of the fables passed down through the generations make for wonderful life lessons. Spring, ever-recurring buds anew, the freshness of the season is part of the circle of life. Now is a great time to bloom again. Being the best we can be and treating people with dignity and respect is the correct thing to do. This applies especially to our gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered brothers and sisters.

(AP) - If expanding the guest list to include Michelle Obama at graduation for high school students in the Kansas capital city means fewer seats for friends and family, some students and their parents would prefer the first lady not attend. A furor over what the Topeka school district considers an honor has erupted after plans were announced for Obama to address a combined graduation ceremony for five area high schools next month an 8,000-seat arena. For some, it was the prospect of a tight limit on the number of seats allotted to each graduate. For others, it was the notion that Obama's speech, tied to the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education outlawing segregation in schools, would overshadow the student's big day. "I'm a single mother who has raised him for 18 years by myself," said Tina Hernandez, parent of Topeka High School senior Dauby Knight. "I've told him education is the only way out. This is one of the biggest days of their lives. They've taken the glory and shine from the children and put on Mrs. Obama. She doesn't know our kids." Hernandez was among the parents and students who spoke Thursday at a school board meeting and urged district officials to reconsider their decision to invite Obama. Ron Harbaugh, spokesman for the Topeka school district, said Friday discussions were under way to work out the logistics and planning for the event, including how many tickets each family would be allotted. "We will have a clearer picture of what's going on," Harbaugh said. Harbaugh said officials asked the president or first lady to speak at graduation as a tie-in with the anniversary of the Brown decision, which outlawed school segregation. The district plans to place a priority on seating students and their families, and could broadcast the event to an overflow room at a hotel adjacent to the graduation arena for those unable to find a seat inside. That's not good enough for Taylor Gifford, 18, who started an online petition Thursday evening to urge the district to reconsider its plans. She and the more than 1,200 people who had signed it expressed concern that Obama's visit would limit the seating options for family and friends. "I really would like it to have a peaceful solution, but there is so much misinformation going on," Gifford said. Gifford said her initial reaction to the news was excitement, saying she was "freaking out" about the prospect of the first lady speaking at graduation. When rumors of limited tickets surfaced, Gifford felt like the focus was being shifted from the students to Obama. "People think it's a great opportunity, but it's the graduates' time. They are getting that diploma that they worked so hard for," Gifford said. "Families are feeling that they are being cheated out of the loved ones special day." Abbey Rubottom, 18, a Topeka High senior, described herself as a "die-hard Democrat" but doesn't like the idea of Obama sharing the stage with graduates. "No disrespect for the first lady, and it's amazing that she wants to come speak, I just think it doesn't belong at graduation," Rubottom said. Rubottom suggested separate ceremonies with Obama speaking at one and the address being replayed at the other.

If you were thinking of catching Johnny Depp's latest flop this weekend: Don't. The Rating's are in and film critics are shocked at what they assumed would be an intelligent and thought provoking movie. Along with Depp, the cast for this movie is stellar. Morgan Freeman, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy, Kate Mara, and Rebecca Hall round out an impressive cast that simply cannot hold this steaming mess together. Check under the cut to see what some critics are saying about Depp's latest failure. Synopsis: As Dr. Will Caster works toward his goal of creating an omniscient, sentient machine, a radical anti-technology organization fights to prevent him from establishing a world where computers can transcend the abilities of the human brain. Rex Reed from the New York Obeserver: On Depp's Performance: It’s the cushiest job in one of the worst movies ever made because the star gets to stay home and blow up the world in his easy chair, phoning in the dialogue Overall: The result is a pointless nightmare of pretentious science fiction twaddle with no plot, no coherence and no heart. You couldn’t find a narrative thread with a microscope. Richard von Busack from Metro Active On the overall film: Pretty damned bad. Another example of 2014 CG used to animate 1974's science fiction ideas. On Director Wally Pfsiter: First-time director Wally Pfister is Christopher Nolan's usual cinematographer, and yet Transcendence isn't distinguished visually; Pfister seems to have absorbed all of Nolan's self-seriousness and none of his livelines Jake Coyle from UT San Diego/Associated Press : On Comparison's Between the film HER and Transcendence: ... whereas"Her" was playful and personal about familiar futuristic concepts, "Transcendence" is clunky and lifeless. It's like the movie version of a paranoid TED talk. On Rebecca Hall's Performance: "Transcendence" ultimately hinges on the relationship of Caster and Evelyn. The excellent Hall, looking a bit confused by what she's gotten herself into, does her best to emotionally ground Pfister's increasingly unfocused and heavy-handed story. Brian Bishop from The Verge On the Christopher Nolan Produced Film: It stars several Nolan mainstays, features the same kind of meticulous photography and production design we’ve come to expect, and mixes a high-concept premise with an intimate emotional core. But the comparisons end there, as the film collapses into a shambling mess of ’90s cyber-paranoia and action tropes that not even the charisma of Johnny Depp can redeem. On the Cast: Depp seems disinterested without a crazy costume or affectation to play with, and while Rebecca Hall is wonderful as his grief-stricken wife, there’s no getting around the fact that the duo have no chemistry together ... The same is true for Bettany, Morgan Freeman, and Cillian Murphy, all exceptional actors who at times feel like they’re starring in outtakes from entirely different movies Alonso Duralde from The Wrap On Plot Holes:This is the kind of film where, by the time you've reached your car in the parking lot, you find yourself asking your date questions like “Why was the nano-technology visible to the human eye?” and “If computer Will can scan Evelyn's biochemical emotional reactions, why can't it catch her lying?” On the One Good Thing About Transcendence: If there's one solid take-away from “Transcendence,” it's Rebecca Hall's performance as a computer genius (she's not just Will's wife, she's his collaborator) so blinded by grief and by the possibilities of pushing science to the next level, that she aids and abets Will's ambitious, terrifying agenda. She remains committed to the character even when the plot's logic goes 404 – Not Found. Scott Foundas from Variety On the Leads and their Performance: Depp fails to convey any real sense of the passion and curiosity that supposedly drive Will Caster to do what he does. The gravely beautiful Hall ... seems to have been directed to deliver her entire performance in an unwavering state of glassy-eyed anxiety.

I have been waiting for a long time and Amazon finally delivered it - it's been released. It's an account by a male hooker in Hollywood in the 40s and 50s. He's got the full story on Spencer Tracey and Kate (bearding, he had sex on numerous occasions with Spence) and many, many others. Gore Vidal has endorsed the book as true. Read about Gary Grant, the Duke of Windsor and many more. Shocking. I have written here many times about Tracey being gay - I got it from my friend who was one of Cukor's boys - so this validates exactly what he said.
I am re-posting here because my original thread was improperly worded and cut off (not sure why). Last night, I was walking down the street and a street thug was harassing a guy just off Halsted Street in Chicago. He was getting in his face, slapping him around and bullying him. This kind of thing has been happening in an increasing manner in the neighborhood. Long story short, I got sick of seeing this fellow gay man being bullied and slapped. I took a hot cup of coffee I had just purchased and threw it in the thug's face. Me and the other guy then ran (he went one way and I went the other). The thug was screaming in the background. I wanted to share this story with someone and thought the DL could be a place to do it. Sorry that my original post was worded badly (it should be removed). The thrust of my story however is what it is.

Check out Wolf Creek 2!!! I paid $9.99 on Demand Darn, it is brutal, funny, scary as shit, and has some of the best car chases since The French Connection. Well directed, and truly gory. I loved the first one, and this one is quite different and takes it into a more standard horror genre. I have to say the 2nd one is better. I did miss the getting to know the character aspect of the first. HIghly recommended for true horror fans!

How come Meryl Streep never made a public comment in defense of Jennifer Lawrence and just say, "Yeah, that was funny, she's clever, etc."? She must recognise Lawrence is talented...or does she see her as just some buffoon taking work away from her girls and thwarting her efforts to build an acting dynasty?

Just catching up here and watching on DVD. There really should be more homosex on Downton. With Thomas dressing Lord Grantham I would think Thomas would be taking care of His Lordship's cock as well. And Jimmy's cock is begging for attention. And of course, I volunteer to check to see if Matthew's loads are still working at full capacity.
Whenever I watch "Valley of the Dolls," I always am baffled by what possible kind of musical with this title would feature its star wearing a gown and diamonds while under a giant revovling multi-colored Plexiglass mobile singing "I'll Plant My own Tree." Was it supposed to be a musical about modern art? Or about gardening? Why was it called "Hit the Sky"?
She's suddenly ubiquitous, this type of actress -- just not on the big or small screen. She graces red carpets and Fashion Week front rows wearing next season's Dolce, Zac, Marc and Elie -- the perks of being a personal friend of the house -- with the most-craved Celine or Alexander McQueen bag, not yet even on preorder, on her arm. Yet she might not have done a project in years, and if she has, well, you haven't heard of it. Still, she is a legitimate actress, having starred in a few rom-coms, action flicks or horror films, looking gorgeous in all of them. No fake noses or weight gain for this girl. Today, said actress spends the majority of her time modeling on arrival lines as opposed to runways. Remember when models just wanted to be actresses? These days, a certain lanky, large-eyed genre of B-list-and-lower actresses have, for all intents and purposes, added "model" to their business-savvy hyphenate titles. Meet the 2013 version of the model-actress -- or, the mocktress. But don't pity her. She makes the majority of her income -- a very good income -- this way. Last year, according to sources in event planning, marketing and branding, Jessica Alba and Kate Bosworth each earned $100,000 per public appearance. Maybe they weren't paid to attend Chanel shows -- they just got to keep 15 grand worth of clothes and bags -- but they were no doubt monetized for attending the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy, the opening of the Montblanc concept store in Beijing, the Audi Aspen Holiday party and the Topshop/Topman store opening in L.A. Alba alone attended about 43 events in 2012 -- the old "opening of an envelope" line comes to mind -- and for tres chic Diane Kruger, it was 31 events. Kruger is becoming better known for being well-dressed than her occasional yet interesting acting choices. No doubt she makes more money that way. Precisely how much is a function of visibility. Rachel Bilson used to be out and about all the time in between 2007's The O.C. and landing Hart of Dixie in 2011. Now, because of higher demands on her time (i.e., she's working), she garners $150,000 for an appearance, while Camilla Belle, with less frequent and more obscure projects (Cavemen, I Brake for Gringos), earns $20,000 to $50,000 to sit front-row at a fashion show or show up looking chic at the Samsung Galaxy Note Launch Event in New York. "A lot of these girls are beautiful and had a little luck in that the type of feature film they first acted in led to easy stardom," explains Marilyn Heston, owner of MHA, which represents fashion brands and wrangles celebs to wear their looks. "As ingenues, Camilla Belle was in 10,000 BC and Kate Bosworth in Blue Crush. Both films were highly visible domestically and overseas with young and sexy casts, and they had strong studio press campaigns. Fashion houses took note and quickly adopted them as 'fashion girls.' I remember when Roberto Cavalli made a plunging V-neck blue chiffon cocktail dress for the premiere of Blue Crush, he asked, 'Who's Kate Bosworth?' -- but sure enough, he got tons of press because she looked so great." Note Twilight ingenue and new mocktress Ashley Greene, who models for DKNY ads while being splashed all over Who What Wear-style websites for what she wears about town. Her next role after the vampire franchise is a horror movie called Random. January Jones now is better known for flamboyant fashion choices than her parts beyond Mad Men, i.e., X-Men: First Class. Mocktresses-in-training Hailee Steinfeld and Elle Fanning, despite being in school, get paid to play dress-up and go out, sometimes in designer outfits well beyond their years.

The Vampire Diaries is one of the most homoerotic shows on basic television, but the supernatural series has never had an out gay character—until now. E! Online is reporting that when the show returns in 2014, the show’s cast include Luke, a gay teen of the handsome and sarcastic variety. Oh great, another sassy gay character! A new hottie is enrolling at Whitmore after winter break! And he’ll be spending time with Caroline! Except he’s so not into her in that way as Luke, handsome and sarcastic, is gay. And also happens to have a sister on campus, one that he will do [or sacrifice] anything to protect. If Luke has to be the bitchy gay sidekick, we pray producers give him at least the hint of a sex life. I mean its bad enough we have to drool over Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder without any hope of a love connection.
Celebrity Caterer posted this blind item in his Oscars 2014 thread: [thread]This actor is rumored to be dipping his toes in the coming out pot. Before this I had never heard he might be gay. Yet jokes on the set are being made by him. Plays a womanizer (don't they all?) and crazy gay buzz suddenly abounds. The answer was superhot James Wolk, star of The Crazy Ones, Mad Men and Happy Endings. This thread is for gossip, sightings and photo appreciation of one of the hottest potentially gay men alive.

The attorney's name is Marty Singer (I wonder if he's related to Bryan Singer). Interesting how Marty Singer represents both of his clients on sexual assault allegations. Interesting how in both cases, Marty Singer finds evidence, documentation to prove that Singer and Travolta weren't in the area during the time that the alleged events took place.

Tiger Mom's head is going to explode when she finds out a black boy got accepted to every Ivy League college. Beat that, bitch. " He has a straight-A average. He scored in the 99th percentile on his SAT. And he’s a shot putter, viola player and a cappella singer. Meet Kwasi Enin, the boy genius from Long Island who’s been accepted into all eight Ivy League schools. His extraordinary achievement was the talk of the education world Tuesday, but the 17-year-old aspiring doctor took all the attention in stride. “It has been a little crazy, but I never really feel overwhelmed because I love what I do and I have great support,” Enin told the Daily News. The senior at William Floyd High School in Mastic turned instant celebrity after it was revealed he hit the Ivy League jackpot. He was profiled on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and his name was trending on Twitter. But all the adulation isn’t going to Enin’s head. “That’s not Kwasi,” said his uncle Edmund Bimpong. “He’s low-profile, very high humility.” A first-generation American whose parents are from Ghana, Enin figured applying to all eight elite schools would improve his chances of getting into one of them."
Alyson Hannigan is worth $18 million and she earns $225,000 an episode. Sarah Michelle Gellar is worth $15 million and she only earns $100,000 an episode! So... SUCK THAT, BITCH! (Of course, I don't think the information is updated. Last I read in TV Guide a few months ago, Hannigan was earning $250,000 an episode per the final season of HIMYM, and the info that celebrity net worth has seems to only be up to date for back when Gellar was on "Ringer".)
HA HA HA!!! Alyson Hannigan is richer than Sarah Michelle Gellar, and she also has a higher salary!!

You are not about to be punk'd. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are engaged, E! News exclusively confirms. Kunis was spotted shopping earlier today wearing a diamond ring on that finger, and a source tells us that she and her former That '70s Show costar are indeed planning to make it official. She and Kutcher, who are pretty darn adorable together, have been dating for almost two years. That '70s Show fans were first treated to signs of Jackie and Kelso's real-life coupling back in April 2012, though it took a number of months for them to be more public with their romance. Kunis even laughed off the early dating rumors as "absurd" at the time. Kutcher had split up with Demi Moore about seventh months prior to kindling the flame with his former costar. And now... "It's amazing," Kurtwood Smith, who played Red on the series, said of their relationship in November 2012. "They're both great people, so I'm happy for them." In fact, at the time, Smith joked, "Maybe they should get married. We'll all go to the wedding and that could be the reunion. It'll be a reality show." Well, the wedding part is underway. Let's get to work on that reality show.
I am totally interested in mature men. I like men who are accomplished, who have life experience, who understand the benefits of hanging in a relationship for the longterm. But every website I go to to find one, they all have pictures of wildly unkempt hairy chests and shoulders, cock pics, really unflattering shirtless shots, etc… it is such a turn off. Id like to read about your last trip somewhere, maybe what civic activities you are involved in and whether you have a dog, a vacation house and prefer the beach or the mountains. Aren't you out there someone?
Who is invited? Who will cook us dinner? Where will it be? What will the entertainment be? I am open, as long as Joyce DeWitt, Bonnie Franklin, and Linda Lavin can come. Should Ina Garten cook? Should Bonnie Franklin tapdance while Patti Lupone sings? Is Lisa Whelchel allowed to attend? All suggestions welcome.

I recently met up with an escort who had the smoothest butt I have ever seen or touched. He has a muscular, hairy body however his behind (and crack) are as smooth as a baby's bottom. When I asked him how he was able to shave down there, he replied that he used Nair (the cream). I asked him if that burned and he said no. Does anyone on the DL Nair their hole? Does it work?

Portia de Rossi 'didn't want' to be a lesbian. The 40-year-old actress was very nervous about publicly coming out, something she did in 2005, because she always thought that being gay was 'strange' and also because she didn't know any famous women who were openly lesbians. 'I just didn't want to be a lesbian,' she said in a revealing interview on The Conversation With Amanda De Cadenet. 'I'd never met one for a start and I just thought they were strange and that they hated men and they were very serious and I had these ridiculous images in my head and there were no out celebrities or politicians or anybody that I could look to and go, "Oh, I could be like that". 'There was nobody that I could say, "I could date her and I want to be like her." 'I just kind of thought I don't want to live like this. I don't have to, I don't need to, I just shut down the emotional life.' Not coming out had a very negative effect on Portia's life. The actress battled different eating disorders while she was starring in Ally McBeal from 1998 to 2002, and she believes they were symptoms of her hiding her sexuality. She explained: 'The thing that kept me company was my eating disorder. It was like a lover, it was like somebody who never ever left me. Like a thought that would always keep me excited, interested and focused. It's adrenaline.'

My friend had a boyfriend over to spend Easter in the Spanish countryside. A gorgeous house. English BF turns up (they are both in their 50's, he lives in London, my friend lives in the house in Spain). He complained at being snuggled up to on the first night, because it was causing him to "miss out on sleep", then he planted himself on the terrace with earphones and an iPad to watch the Grand Prix. He has plenty of money but chose not to hire a car, and chose not to take himself off when dissatisfied, and book into any number of local hotels. He made it clear he was going to "sit it out" until Monday, and then be driven to the airport 50 miles away by my friend, after making life as uncomfortable and humiliating as he could, in spite of many attempts by my friend to make the most of the situation. My friend had arranged a couple of lunches at friends' homes too. Throw the bastard out now, or just ignore the old cunt?

Jimmy Kimmel is catching up to Fallon in the ratings. Where is Jay when we need him? "Speaking of Fallon, last night’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon drew a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 with a total viewership of 4.456 million. That’s down 17% in both categories from the show’s February 26 results. While Fallon was down to his lowest number since taking over The Tonight Show, the other Jimmy was up strong and closing the 11:35 PM gap. With a much stronger Thursday primetime as a near lead-in and Scandal’s Kerry Washington as his main guest, Jimmy Kimmel Live got a 1.0 rating in the demo and an audience of 3.555 million. That’s a 100% leap up among the 18-49s from the night before for Kimmel and a 44% rise in viewership from the 2.456 million viewers of his February 26 show. Last night’s JKL was actually the show’s second most watched episode ever after the 3.642 million who watched the January 24, 2013 “Matt Damon Takeover” show. CBS’s David Letterman had a 0.5 rating with 2.710 million viewers, a slight upturn from the night before. Still the fourth show of the second week of Fallon’s new gig equaled the 1.4 rating that Conan O’Brien got on the fourth night of his second Tonight Show week on June 11, 2009. While the demo rating was on par, like the night before Fallon bested O’Brien’s comparable night’s 3.565 million viewers. Like in metered-market results, Fallon was ahead of the 1.14 rating and 4.066 million viewers that Jay Leno got on the comparable night of his Tonight Show return in 2010.)"
Late night with Jimmy Fallon ratings has dropped to it's lowest ratings since taking over.

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

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

Baggage handlers at Pearson International in Toronto toss carry-on luggage that had to be gate checked on overcrowded plane from top of Jetway. In a way, what's the problem. Do we really expect these handlers to walk up and down the plane stairs when it is easier to throw the bags off the plane?

Someone on another thread mentioned the book, so I picked it up from the library. So far it's less a memoir than a bunch of nonfiction essays from his life, but it's pretty funny. Chapter 3 is all about the Liza-David Gest marriage. Sam says Liza had a bout of encephalitis not long before she met and fell in love with David, and Sam asked her if she was sure the attraction wasn't just a holdover from the encephalitis. On her wedding day, Liza told Sam sadly, "You know what you said about the encephalitis? Well, I think I'm over it." Nevertheless, the show had to go on. Elizabeth Taylor showed up stoned on pills, wearing bedroom slippers. Since she was the ringbearer, the wedding had to be delayed while a runner was sent to get Dame Elizabeth's shoes. She nodded off during the ceremony and couldn't even manage to get the ring open because she couldn't work the box. When it came time to kiss the bride, the heterosexual Mr. Gest made a huge scene of sticking his tongue in Liza's mouth, which disgusted everyone. Sam was even more disgusted at the reception, where Gest wore sunglasses indoors at night. However, it was worth it to see Carol Channing dance with Snoop Dogg. Anyone else read this? It's pretty fun so far.

There's a fellow I encounter every so often whom I pegged as a blowhard right after I met him. At that time he asserted something as true that I know for a fact is not, and when I challenged him on it, he blew me off; he repeated that ... inaccuracy again recently. The last time I saw him, he made another error, that I might've ignored as "well ... confusing the two aircraft types is something one might do," except that he repeated it again later in the conversation. Anybody else familiar with this type of know-it-all? I hadn't run across someone quite so totally unwilling to admit that they may be wrong (as was the case).

Okay granted I am not from the south but is it typical for late forties and early fifties men to social friends with 20-30 somethings? Case #1 Thomas Ravenel who is 51 years old, been indicted for selling cocaine and forced to step down as state treasurer now wants to run for congress as a "Libertarian"." Episode two showed a picture of his father with a very large confederate flag draped across the steps of the state capitol. Racist much? Case #2 Whitney Sudler Smith - 41 year old "film maker" who lives with his mother. The rest of the cast seem in the late 20's to early 30's. Thomas seems to think he is quite the stud man about town....given he is handsome and rich he is also racist and vile.

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

Liberals and Gay male blogos who get rich by drawing sperm on women’s mouths are trashing Rashida Jones, star of Parks and Recreation, for basically saying that the state of porno today is pretty gross and for tweeting about how celebrities are gross when they flash thier vaginas in our faces. Guess Rashida doesn’t know yet that unless you are a woman spouting “I fuck therefore I am” you are the enemy amongst gays and liberals. Frankly, gays and libs really aren’t in any position to be the sexual morality police. Because it doesn’t matter how many health epidemics or pandemics, gay men will not curb their behavior: Gay men LA area die meningitis infections What more do you need to demonstrate that extreme promiscuity is not good for you when you’re dying from it? Wasn’t there just a meningitis problem killing gay men like 6 months ago? And last year it was a syphilis outbreak, and HIV numbers are up again for gay men. Liberals, gay men and fun-feminists are very much at the forefront of bashing women whenever they say boo about porno or anything that suggests ya may wanna curb your driven extremist sexual decadence.
Star Magazine is trying to make something offscreen between Kerry Washington and the married actor who plays President Grant, Tony Goldwyn. It sounds like some fan fiction, but I could see his wife wondering if something is going on behind the scenes. In a recent interview, Tony admitted that his wife doesn’t watch the show and that he doesn’t want her to: "The drama on ABC’s Scandal isn’t just on the small screen! In a scenario fit for the juicy series, Tony Goldwyn’s real-life wife is jealous over his too-close-for-comfort relationship with his on-screen love interest, Kerry Washington. In a recent interview, 53 year-old Tony – who plays President Fitzgerald Grant – admitted that his wife, Jane Musky, 59, isn’t a fan of his sexy story line. “My wife doesn’t watch it,” Tony revealed. “I don’t encourage it.” But insiders explain that Jane’s jealousy is about much more than just his love scenes. “Tony and Jane constantly argue about his close off-camera relationship with Kerry,” spills the spy. “Jane has been to the set a few times and thought Kerry was too flirty with him in between takes. Tony constantly reassures her that nothing would ever happen with Kerry, but she will never be comfortable with it.” [From Star Magazine, print edition, July 1, 2013] Kerry Washington is gorgeous and single (as far as I know) and the tabloids are constantly trying to link her with someone. Last year The Enquirer was claiming that Michele Obama was jealous of Kerry’s close relationship with President Obama and had banned her from the White House. (Kerry helped campaign for Obama and was appointed to his Arts and Humanities committee.) That whole scenario sounded like it was lifted from “Scandal,” as does this one. She’s performing a role and she does it so well that people are convinced it mirrors her personal life. I would like to know more about her personal life actually. She seems to play it very close to her chest.

My BF and I always host a pool party/BBQ on the 4th of July. His birthday is the week before and I am thinking of getting him a Big Green Egg grill. He can't cook worth a damn inside but he is a wizard outside. Everyone raves about his 'Q. The big BGE grills *are* expensive, but really, I can afford it. Are Big Green Egg grills really 'all that'?
maxi pads were for women with big cunts and mini pads were for women with small cunts. I always felt bad for women with medium sized cunts and thought they needed a voice.
By: netsez00 I have been hearing a lot about the new season and I decided I would catch up on season 1. I saw an ad with a lesbian kiss and I just want to know how integral to the plot that relationship is. I am not anti-gay, I just would like to know if is subtle or in your face a lot. BTW I am male, straight, but lesbian porn does not turn me on, nor do gratuitous lesbian scenes. In response to a response...

Oppressive heat has had me horny as hell and have been averaging five JOs daily. 2am and I couldn't sleep, so I bit the bullet and headed toward one of the AVS's in my neighborhood, something I told myself I'd never do. However, at 2am, the dick is exclusively doing my thinking. Headed over there, bunch of cracked out looking guys around, but a few hotties as well, probably fresh from the bars. I and one of the cuties ducked into adjoining booths, and he fed me a nice 8 incher. The whole experience wasn't as sleezy as I thought, so I will probably head back there when 2am horniness becomes too much to bear. Anyone else use these places to satisfy their early morning need for cock?

Hey guys, I'm 23 and I'm struggling with how to feel about this situation. I have a friend whom I've known for about a year. We are not romantically involved in any way - I know him through another friend. I've hung out with him at parties, and he's a really nice guy. I find out that a month ago, he got drunk at a party and drove his car on the wrong side of the freeway at 4am, hit a taxi head-on and killed a passenger, and injured two others. He himself had just minor injuries. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I think what he did was completely repulsive and horrendous. That person is dead. But do I support him as a friend? Is what he did unforgivable? How do I support somebody who did something so heinous? Especially when it's at odds with my impressions of him - he is genuinely a nice guy, but he made a terrible decision and has to live with the consequences. Also just fyi, he is extremely successful, he's young around 24, and went to Harvard, Oxford, and was in business school. Have any of you experienced something similar? I feel like I should be supporting him as a friend, but I don't know how when I am so disgusted by what he did. What would you guys do? Thanks in advance.
Do you brush horizontally or vertically? On tv and in movies people always brush horizontally, but I was always told it's better to brush vertically.

Why is that? As an example, if a young gay man posted on here that he was contemplating suicide, more than half of the responses would be along the lines of "Couldn't you have done it BEFORE you wasted your $18?". I know. I've seen it. Bigotry is met with intense disdain, but mainly as an opportunity for more vocal attitude. No action. Gay culture is all about the "me". There is little unity. It's about protecting yourself, and alienation other gay men. I'm 29 years old, attractive, partnered and gay and I just can't motivate myself to go to gay bars. It's not fun. Why is it that a lot (not all) gay men have an inability to see beyond their own opinions and beliefs? Anything they have not experienced or don't like, they "hate" and anyone who doesn't hate it is "an idiot" or "should die in a fire". It's frustrating being open and proud about your sexuality, but feeling so alienated from the culture itself.
I rather like the idea of it, though I've never been out of season and even that was years ago. Can you go horseback riding? How do people earn a living? Is this something that has become more popular since the rise in NYC rents?

I thought some of you bitches were exaggerating, but I now humbly apologize for having had those doubts. Christ on a cracker! I tuned into CNN at three different times today, and on each occasion, they were discussing the missing Malaysian plane. That's it. No mention of the economy, no mention that Russia is probably going to do some more invasions, nothing whatsoever. Obviously, money talks and bullshit walks, so they must still be getting high viewership and ratings from this, but how long will this go on? The guests are bored as they provide their commentary, the reporters have this "please shoot me" expression, and yet they are not budging off the story at all. This could take months or even years to find--if ever. When will they blink?
I just realized that I eat an enormous amount of macaroni and cheese every week. If it's offered in a restaurant I always order it as a side, and I've always got mac and cheese from Trader Joe's in my freezer or in my microwave. Cooking some now, in fact. Am I an addict? What should I do?

New thread for those who wish to continue. R600 in the old maxed-out thread wrote: [quote][Overrated] means "I don't think it deserves the praise it has received." We know what it's SUPPOSED to mean, but the word has been rendered meaningless, as even things that are not seriously rated by anyone at all (but have merely achieved commercial success) are called "overrated."
Anyone else excited? Bryan Fuller is a genius (Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies), and it's getting raves. It will also give us Gillian Anderson's return to TV.

Lawyer Of Bryan Singer's Accuser: More 'Hollywood Insiders' Will Be Named In Sex Abuse Suit The lawyer representing Michael F. Egan III, who has accused "X-Men" director Bryan Singer of sexually abusing him when he was underage, told HuffPost Live on Friday that more recognizable Hollywood figures involved in sexually assaulting young men will be named next week. "There's more Hollywood names. These are other men who Mike alleges were part of these pool parties in California and then also flew to the parties in Hawaii, where they sexually abused Mike. They're Hollywood insiders," said attorney Jeffrey Herman. Herman told host Ricky Camilleri that he and his client have not yet named all parties involved because they need to take "certain procedural steps" before filing additional lawsuits in Hawaii. Herman expects the new names will be made public Monday, though he said under Hawaiian law he has until Thursday to file suit against the other "sexual predators."
Dataloungers vow "We will never stop creating Singer threads". More Hollywood insiders to be named.
A Nevada Republican legislator complained about MSNBC host Chris Hayes’ remarks regarding rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle, yet repeatedly referred to undocumented immigrants as “terrorists” during a combative interview Friday night. “I’m not saying I agree with Cliven Bundy, I’m saying the way this was handled was really suspicious,” state Assembly member Michelle Fiore (R) told Hayes. “When in the heck do we send our federal government with arms to collect a bill? When do we do that? When have we ever done that? I mean, literally, if we sent our federal government to the borders to secure them against terrorist crossing, hey, I got that. But they want to come here with arms because cows are grazing?” Fiore spoke with Hayes from outside Bunkerville, Nevada, where a crowd has formed in support of Bundy. The government holds that Bundy has refused to pay federal grazing fees for two decades, incurring a debt of more than $1 million after losing several court battles. After Bundy declared he would give the government a “range war,” the dispute led to a stand-off between his supporters — many of whom arrived with firearms — and officials from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), who later left the area. But Fiore accused the bureau of “coming up” with the fees in 1993 over unspecified damages, and cut Hayes off when he was about to mention that Bundy’s supporters were armed. Hayes also showed footage of one of them openly discussing being willing to kill or be killed by BLM officials during the stand-off. “Chris, do you want them coming to your house pointing guns at your wife and children? Is that okay with you?” Fiore asked. “Because it’s defnitely not okay with me, it’s not okay with Americans across the United States.” “Is it okay with you if every rancher in the country stopped paying their grazing fees?” Hayes asked. “No, it’s not okay,” Fiore responded. “Well, that’s the issue, right?” Hayes said. “Great,” Fiore replied. “Lien the cows. Lien the property. Don’t come here with guns and expect the American people not to fire back.” Fiore did not mention that conservative media outlets have been keen to cheerlead for future conflicts between the Bundy ranch and federal officials. But when Hayes asked Fiore if she would support any undocumented immigrants who felt it best to have their own armed supporters on hand to resist deportation efforts, Fiore did not answer. “Are we talking about cows, or are we talking about illegal immigration?” she asked, instead. “I’m talking about cows.” “I’m talking about human beings,” Hayes retorted. “Which seems to me even more important.” “Human beings that, thank God, did not get slaughtered,” Fiore told Hayes. “Cows did get slaughtered out here.” “What is gonna happen to those cows later on?” Hayes asked her. “Are you saying it’s okay to cruelly slaughter them because they’re raised for beef?” Fiore shot back. “Is that what you’re saying? I would retract those statements, because it’s pretty sad, Chris.” “Don’t put words in my mouth,” Hayes said. Watch the discussion, as aired on Friday on MSNBC, below.
Nevada Republican defends Cliven Bundy but calls immigrants ‘terrorists’
Journalist Jo Becker has a new book out on the marriage equality movement. The revolution began, it appears, in 2008. And its Rosa Parks was a man you would be forgiven for knowing nothing about, Chad Griffin. Here’s how the book begins – and I swear I’m not making this up: This is how a revolution begins. It begins when someone grows tired of standing idly by, waiting for history’s arc to bend toward justice, and instead decides to give it a swift shove. It begins when a black seamstress named Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in the segregated South. And in this story, it begins with a handsome, bespectacled thirty-five-year-old political consultant named Chad Griffin, in a spacious suite at the Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco on election night 2008. After that surreal opening, the book descends into more jaw-dropping distortion.

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

An earthquake with a magnitude 7.5 struck off Papua New Guinea on Saturday and a tsunami warning was briefly issued for the Pacific Island nation and neighboring Solomon Islands, but there were no immediate reports of damage. The quake, at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), struck 68 km southwest of Panguna on the island of Bougainville, the U.S. Geological Survey said, revising down the magnitude from an initial 7.8. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center later cancelled a tsunami warning for Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands and there was no threat to neighboring Australia or across the Pacific Ocean. At least six strong tremors have hit near Bougainville in the past week or so, including a magnitude 7.3 on April 11, but there have been no reports of major damage. "Certainly it has been very active, more active than usual," said Jonathan Bathgate, a seismologist at Geoscience Australia. "(The spate of earthquakes) is relieving some pressure on this faultline, but we can't rule out another large earthquake." The quake would have been felt strongly on Bougainville and nearby islands, but given its position on the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire" where earthquakes are frequent, extensive damage was unlikely, Bathgate said. However, a local tsunami may have been generated, he added. Readings showed a small wave had been generated, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. In 1998, a magnitude 7 earthquake triggered a tsunami that smashed into villages near Aitape on Papua New Guinea's north coast and killed more than 2,000 people. Resource-rich Bougainville, which neighbors the Solomon Islands, fought a war for independence from Papua New Guinea in the 1990s, leading to the closure of the Panguna copper mine, majority-owned by Rio Tinto Ltd. Bougainville is now an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea.
Old story. Florida, of course. He's rather good looking. He should consider himself fortunate that he is to have "no contact" with Walmart. "The Florida man arrested after he was caught masturbating in the toy aisle of a Walmart with the aid of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has cut a plea deal that bars him from future visits to the retail giant 'or any store where children’s toys are sold,' court records show. As part of a plea deal to indecent exposure and battery charges, William Tyler Black was sentenced to two years of community control, a more severe version of probation that often includes a curfew. Black, 28, will also be subjected to GPS monitoring, according to a Sarasota Circuit Court document that stipulates 'no contact w/ Walmart.' The deal spares Black, who spent a month in custody following his September 14 arrest, further jail time. The conviction, though, will likely have a negative impact on Black’s career as a substitute teacher. Black is pictured in the above mug shot. When confronted by cops, Black admitted that he had been masturbating in the store’s toy aisle, claiming that he was driven to the lewd act after he spotted 'some pretty girls which made him aroused.; He told officers that he 'grabbed a magazine and then found a back aisle and began to masturbate until he relieved himself on the floor,' according to a probable cause affidavit. The magazine he selected was the 2010 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue featuring model Brooklyn Decker on its cover. [Update: Crime scene photos revealed that Black actually opted for SI’s $11.99 'Swimsuit Portfolio,' a bound volume also featuring Decker on its cover.] A Walmart worker told investigators that Black 'ejaculated onto the floor and wiped his hand on a toy along with rubbing his foot in the suspected semen on the floor.' He then 'discarded the magazine behind some toys and proceeded to the front of the store,' employees reported. The defiled toy was a lightsaber (apparently of the 'Star Wars' variety), according to a law enforcement source. Though Black--who claimed he was shopping for a toy for his daughter--assured arresting officers that, 'I swear I’m not a pervert,' and offered to clean up his mess, he was nonetheless charged with a felony and a misdemeanor. One charge, battery on a child, was filed since a 'reasonable person would believe that a child would come in contact with the fluid on the toy being that it was left in the toy aisle of the store.'”

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

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

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

I'm curious because it seems like a lot of fashionistas rely on externals like clothes and shoes to define their style; they think that by wearing certain items they're shaping their personal style. But then you have people like Rihanna who, love her or hate her (and I'm just using her as a modern-day example), can wear a plastic bag and look like a star. It seems like style is more about bringing life and personality to your clothes than the other way around. Agree or disagree? I'm also curious to know who you all think has great personal style in this sense--i.e. someone who exudes style rather than being a clotheshorse.
Have any of you read this report from January, 2014 about the future of the city? It's pretty terrifying. I've been here nearly all my life but it's time to rethink that in the very near future. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts beyond the "L.A. is a shit hole. L.A. is a third world country." stuff. The opening paragraph: Los Angeles is barely treading water while the rest of the world is moving forward. We risk falling further behind in adapting to the realities of the 21st century and becoming a City in decline. For too many years we have failed to cultivate and build on our human and economic strengths, while evading the hard choices concerning local government and municipal finance presented by this new century. Like the hapless Mr. Micawber in Dickens’ “David Copperfield,” our wishful response to continued economic decline and impending fiscal crisis has become a habitual: “Something, my dear Copperfield, will turn up.” The City where the future once came to happen has been living in the past and leaving tomorrow to sort itself out. As a consequence, Los Angeles is sinking into a future in which it no longer can provide the public services to which our people’s taxes entitle them and where the promises made to public employees about a decent and secure retirement simply cannot be kept. City revenues are in long-term stagnation and expenses are climbing. Year by year, our City—which once was a beacon of innovation and opportunity to the world—is becoming less livable.

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

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

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

Duck Dynasty Show Canceled Due to Lack of Ticket Sales! Things just keep getting worse for the Duck crew. A Duck Dynasty live show that was scheduled in Springfield, Missouri has been canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” What were those circumstances? Well, a devastating lack of interest, of course! Simply put, the Duck bigots’ appearance failed to generate enough ticket sales to justify the appearance. Tickets were to be sold for $37, $50, and $58 a pop, according to FreakOutNation.

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

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

This famous actor introduced his new baby to you last year. So cute and so sweet! Only the baby isn’t really his. It’s a stunt baby. There were lots of rumors about his sexuality swirling in the past year or two. It was a problem because he does action films and the public needs to see him as straight. There simply are no openly gay action actors who land leads as action heroes. So a publicity stunt was crafted. He and his "girlfriend" suddenly had a new baby! It worked, too. Gay rumors about him disappeared practically overnight and he continues to land macho film leads. So, to whom does the baby actually belong? The Actor’s sister! She even moved her family to L.A. so that he can occasionally take Baby out for photo ops.
If ever there was an incident made for DL. I did a search and could not find a previously posted thread. Atlanta — Legendary singer Patti Labelle arrested and charged with assault and battery after attacking Aretha Franklin. The singers were in Atlanta for an R&B/Soul concert on March 20th when they ran into each other backstage. Labelle was still fuming from a recent run-in with Franklin at the White House for the “Women of Soul” concert. While Aretha Franklin was making her way to the stage, Labelle extended her hand to greet the “Respect” singer, when she threw epic shade in an effort to avoid her. The two exchanged obscenities after the event and parted ways. While at the concert in Atlanta, Labelle attempted to approach Franklin to resolve their outstanding issues, but Franklin once again turned up her nose. Onlookers say Labelle quickly removed her wig and earrings as she approached Franklin. Aretha, knowing that the removal of earrings is a tell-tale sign that a fight is about to ensue, attempted to prepare herself for the confrontation. Franklin was quickly struck with a Mayweather style right and left and stumbled backwards, landing awkwardly. Bystanders subdued Labelle and escorted her outside of the venue. Franklin suffered only minor injuries.

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

What are your thoughts?
Just nasty.
I don't know why women care so much about this career bullshit. It's all terribly overrated. I'd snag a rich husband (preferably one who works a lot), get my uterus removed, and kick the fuck back and enjoy life.
How partisan is the Congressional Budget Office? It seems pretty bipartisan to me. Which is pretty surprising. Congress critters, the President, governors, etc. are easily bought off. I don't see how it'd be too hard to buy off the top guys at the CBO.
I am sure it was closed last night. This morning I found it open. Now I'm afraid there's someone in the house. Would a garage door open on its own for no reason? Could it be the wind? What could have caused this??
Listen to me, people!
I work for a very large organization with people shifting to different roles/jobs often. The feeling is akin to being in a beehive. I'm isolated and disconnected in a sea of people. I see attractive men from time to time, and if there's any kind of "softness" to them, I wonder if they are gay, but you really can't be certain anymore. I feel the way I did on high school, that I was the only one like me. It makes me anxious and depressed. Are you the only gay person at your workplace? How do you deal?
The original thread is almost full.
They've been letting her bark all night next door and she would pace outside by my bedroom window. I tried earphones and earplugs but it was a shrieking kind of sound, with howling. She was young, part retriever. I guess they were trying to get her to grow up. They're horrible people and I couldn't talk to them. No one else would do anything. People here aren't like that. Eventually someone just would have given her antifreeze of something. So I started tossing raw meatballs over the fence with a tiny amount of my Xanax and Diazepam in them, one each night around 10. It worked fine. But I guess there was a build up of something because Tuesday morning I heard screaming and they had found the dog dead with froth all over its face. The woman came to my door and asked if I had seen anything and then as much as asked if I did something. I said no of course not, I loved Shelly. (I would give her treats and even walked her when she was a puppy a few times before the people got weird) Now she's going all over accusing people. She says they're getting two pit bulls and if anything happens she's going to start civil war. Now I don't know what to do. Should I just go and tell her the truth? It was an accident. I could say I was trying to soothe the dog and it was a terrible mistake. If she gets pit bull they'll be barking all the time and I'll have to move, and I can't afford more rent. I'm afraid they'll hurt my cats, which Shelly never did. I have an understanding with my landlord and I'm worried. Can I be arrested if I confess? All I wanted was some sleep. I know how this sounds, but any ideas will be helpful. Has this ever happened to you?
I thought I was hungry for pizza tonight so I ordered Dominos. Turns out I was hungry for the delivery boy instead. His name was Jonathan and I wish my eyeballs could take pics so that I could show you guys the tight little ass on him as he turned & walked away. Well worth the price of the pizza just to watch that hot little piece walk back to his car. I miss him terribly already & secretly hope he spit in my food. Has anyone ever successfully propositioned a delivery guy before? Is that a real thing?

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

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

Werk those 15 minutes, gurl! The Mrs Norman Maine act is getting old. "Lea Michele stormed off the set of Glee on Tuesday, according to reports. A source says that the actress was angered after her co-star Naya Rivera complained to producers that she was acting like a diva on set. The 27-year-old is said to have been stalling production as she continuously took breaks to deal with 'personal matters'. An insider told TMZ that the cast and crew became annoyed with the star after she interrupted filming multiple times. Finally, it became so bad that a fellow Glee star is said to have intervened. Naya, 27, complained to producers regarding Lea's difficult behaviour, the source claims, with disastrous results."
Dove should be ashamed to use Audrey Hepburn's face, singing Moon River, to sell it horrible candy bar. I get so upset when I see that commercial. I will never buy another Dove product. They have tried to cheapen an icon and a masterpiece of a song. And the fact that the icon is dead makes it all the worst. And whomever owns the rights to Hepburn's image should have it taken away from them. You can't grab class from the past. And to insult her image, that song, and the very essence of grace and beauty for something so irrelevant is a disgrace. It is like seeing your mother drunk and acting slutty.

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

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

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

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

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

This 20 something year old femme, Grammy-award winning songstress and sometimes actress has been a beard for a number of singers and A'listers in a desperate attempt to suppress her lesbianism. Although she is a fearless advocate, and generous supporter, she is worried how her fans would react and more importantly her record label if she were to come out. She prefers to take her girlfriends for trysts to Europe, during breaks from touring, because she thinks she would be safer.

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

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

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

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

Michaels Stores Inc. said Thursday that about 2.6 million cards, or about 7 percent of all debit and credit cards used at its namesake stores, may have been affected in a security breach. The nation's largest arts and crafts chain said its subsidiary Aaron Brothers was also attacked, with about 400,000 cards potentially affected. Irving, Texas-based Michaels said that it has contained the incident, which began last year. It has received "limited" reports of fraud from banks and the payment card brands that are potentially connected to the breach. The compromised data includes customer information such as payment card numbers and expiration dates. But there's no evidence that other personal information such as names, addresses or PIN numbers were at risk, Michaels said. Michaels' report comes as many shoppers worry about the safety of their personal data following a massive pre-Christmas security breach at Target Corp. that affected 40 million debit and credit cards. The details come nearly three months after Michaels disclosed that it may have been a victim of a data breach and that it was working with law enforcement authorities, banks and payment processors. The company said Thursday that both chains were attacked by criminals using highly sophisticated malware that had not been encountered previously by the two security firms that were conducting the investigation. "Our customers are always number one priority and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience or concern Michaels may have caused," said Chuck Rubin, CEO of Michaels, in a statement. The breach at Michaels stores occurred between May 8, 2013 and Jan. 27. The company confirmed that between June 26, 2013 and Feb. 27, 54 Aaron Brothers stores were affected by this malware. Michaels said that it was offering free identity protection, credit monitoring and fraud assistance services to affected Michaels and Aaron Brothers customers in the U.S. for 12 months.
Vicki Lawrence is still around and still in high demand as a touring act. She could easily be brought back as Thelma.

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

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

There seemed to be far more coverage of the death of Peter O'Toole and other older Hollywood stars last year.
12 died in an avalanche, 3 missing Those killed and missing, all Nepalese guides, had left base camp early in the morning to fix ropes for hundreds of climbers that plan to set off next month. The avalanche hit around 6:30am when the Sherpas were just below camp 2, a Nepalese tourist ministry official said.
Given his...tastes...how has he managed to stay out of prison? Do his boy toys just look young, or does he actually wade into the shallow end of the pool? His latest twink is actually legal, but a self-professed "furry!"
