Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi and Frances de la Tour, three of the world’s most esteemed actors, and Misfits star Iwan Rheon, star in the new British sitcom Vicious, a show which centers around an older gay couple (McKellen and Jacobi) and their sexually ambiguous new neighbor (Rheon). Written by Will & Grace and Family Guy scribe Gary Janetti, many had high, high hopes for this new comedy. Well, the reviews are in, and the critics are not in love. See what some of them had to say below. “What on Earth were they thinking? The makers of Vicious, ITV’s latest stab at a sitcom, have squandered not only the estimable acting talents of Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Derek Jacobi and Frances de la Tour, but also the combined screenwriting welly of Olivier Award-winning playwright Mark Ravenhill and Gary Janetti (Will & Grace) on perhaps the least funny new comedy in recent memory.” – The Telegraph “The basic schtick in Vicious is high-camp bitchiness, a form that reached an apogee in the American sitcom Will & Grace (on which Gary Janetti also worked). This is a sadly depleted version, though, and it’s delivered by McKellen and Jacobi as if they’re playing in Wembley Stadium and only the upper tiers are occupied, with a heavily semaphored effeminacy that seems to belong to an entirely different era.” – The Independent “It’s just a shame that the vehicle in which they find themselves isn’t a better one. It’s not just old-fashioned, pre-Office TV comedy (as opposed to post-office comedy, which is something else, possibly), it’s also, frankly, a bit lame. Ding dong, who can that be at the door, ooh hello, a handsome young man to see the flat above. [Turn handle that produces jokes revolving around Freddie and Stuart flirting with handsome youth, putting each other down, and trying – subtly, they think, but actually very unsubtly – to ascertain whether he's gay or not.]” – The Guardian
Critics Really, Really Don't Like Ian McKellen's New Gay Sitcom

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

Judge rules Colorado's gay marriage ban unconstitutional District judge C Scott Crabtree rules 2006 voter approved ban violates state and federal constitutions Associated Press in Denver; theguardian.com, Wednesday 9 July 2014 18.34 EDT\t A judge in Colorado has struck down the state's gay marriage ban. District court judge C Scott Crabtree on Wednesday ruled the 2006 voter-approved ban violates the state and federal constitutions. He immediately put his ruling on hold pending an appeal. Crabtree is the 16th judge to void a state's gay marriage ban since the US supreme court ruled last year that the federal government has to recognize gay marriages in the states.
Joey Luft remembers it well: appearing on the 1963 Christmas episode of his mother Judy Garland's CBS musical-variety series with his two older sisters, Lorna Luft and Liza Minnelli. On a recent afternoon, Luft was rewatching the show, his eyes wide and a smile dancing across his face as his younger self broke into "Where Is Love?" on the classic yuletide show. "She opened the show with 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,'" said the 59-year-old Luft, a slight man who is a bundle of energy. "Our living room [of the Lufts' house] on Rockingham Avenue was copied so the Christmas show looked like our living room." Though half-sister Minnelli, who is an Oscar, Tony, Emmy and Grammy award-winner, and Lorna Luft have followed in their mother's footsteps, their baby brother has largely lived out of the public eye. "I've been more behind the camera," said Luft, who has studied photography and sound and has worked as a kind of editor-runner. Though he may not be famous, "I have a life that has been fascinating," said Luft, who appeared with his siblings at the Oscars this past March for a 75th anniversary tribute to "The Wizard of Oz," the 1939 classic that made Garland a star. "I can tell stories for days." He's finally getting the opportunity to tell the stories about his mother in "A Judy Garland Concert With Joey Luft," which opens Friday and continues through Sunday at the Pasadena Playhouse. The evening features colorized footage from "The Judy Garland Show" of the legend performing such standards as "Stormy Weather," "Come Rain or Come Shine" and of course "Over the Rainbow." In between clips, Luft and the show's producer, John Kimble, his childhood friend and longtime associate of his late father, producer Sid Luft, will talk about Garland. "It's just so fun just getting out there and talking about her and letting people know, 'Here's what really happened,'" said Luft in a recent interview at Kimble's Culver City home. "I don't want to talk about the bad things," said Luft, who was 14 in 1969 when his mother died of an overdose of barbiturates. "That isn't what my mom was about. She was a performer. She was a mother. She loved people. She was the most caring person. She had the greatest sense of humor." Luft stood up to imitate his mother when she guest-starred on NBC's "The Jack Paar Show." "He introduces my mom and she comes on stage with a broom," said Luft, as he mimes sweeping the floor. "She puts the broom down and walks over and sits down with Jack and said 'People told me I would clean up in this business.'" The story lead to another memory of watching a hockey game with Lorna and Garland in his mother's bedroom. "My mom was kind of tired and she looked kind of frustrated," said Luft. "I said 'How do you feel? She looks at us, walks over to the TV and she goes, 'How do I feel? See that hockey game? You know the puck? That how I feel." And she walks off. Then we started laughing." His father was Garland's third husband and is credited with resurrecting her career after she was fired from MGM in 1950. He colorized the black-and-white "Judy Garland Show" before his death in 2005 at the age of 89. "It took us years and years to do because there was so much detail and so much work to go into it," said Luft. "My dad spent so much money that near the end of his life he went broke because he put so much into it. He wanted to put a show together." "We have cleaned up all the audio and made it look like it was shot yesterday," added Kimble. Kimble said that they have booked a fall tour of the show in Canada, invited theaters to a workshop production of the show a few weeks ago in Culver City and currently are making tweaks to the evening before they open in Pasadena. The playhouse will also have an exhibit of rare photos from Garland's life and career as well as Michael Siewert's collection of costumes from many of her classic films. Luft's siblings won't be attending the show. Lorna lives in Palm Springs and is awaiting the birth of a grandchild. "Liza is in New York," said Luft. "She was going to come out and see the show but she couldn't make it out." Luft hopes his show will keep the memory of his mother and her talent alive for years to come. "They know 'The Wizard of Oz,' but people don't even know Judy," said Luft, who added that he could listen to her recordings for hours. "The show is to educate people and show who she was and what she did and what she was all about — one of the world's greatest entertainers."

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

This is a pretty damning report on how The Company orchestrated political murders, suppressed voters to ensure the US-approved dictator won, and encouraged deadly clampdowns on dissent. Stephen Weissman writes in Foreign Affairs: We now know that even though the threat of communism in Congo was quite weak at the time of Congo’s independence, the CIA engaged in pervasive political meddling and paramilitary action between 1960 and 1968 to ensure that the country retained a pro-Western government and to help its pathetic military on the battlefield. So extensive were these efforts that at the time, they ranked as the largest covert operation in the agency’s history, costing an estimated $90–$150 million in current dollars, not counting the aircraft, weapons, and transportation and maintenance services provided by the Defense Department. The CIA had a hand in every one of Congo’s major political turning points during the period and maintained a financial and political relationship with every head of its government. And contrary to the conclusion of the Church Committee, Lawrence Devlin, the CIA station chief in Congo for most of the period, had direct influence over the events that led to Lumumba’s death. Not only was U.S. involvement extensive; it was also malignant. The CIA’s use of bribery and paramilitary force succeeded in keeping a narrow, politically weak clique in power for most of Congo’s first decade of independence. And the very nature of the CIA’s aid discouraged Congolese politicians from building genuine bases of support and adopting responsible policies. The agency’s legacy of clients and techniques contributed to a long-running spiral of decline, which was characterized by corruption, political turmoil, and dependence on Western military intervention. So dysfunctional was the state that in 1997 it outright collapsed -- leaving behind instability that continues to this day.

The bombshell IRS audit released in May omitted information about liberal groups at the request of House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA), according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration’s office. A spokesman for Treasury Inspector General J. Russell George told The Hill on Tuesday that Issa had requested investigators “narrowly focus on tea party organizations.” The subsequent audit concluded the IRS used “inappropriate criteria” to single out for additional scrutiny tea party groups that applied for tax exempt status. The findings lead almost every politician, including President Barack Obama, to denounce the IRS. Several Republicans suggested the audit indicated the White House had a Nixonian “enemies list.” Speaking to CNN on Tuesday, Issa said the IRS appeared to have been targeting Obama’s political opponents “perhaps not on his request” but “on his behalf.” But new documents have revealed that liberal and progressive groups received similar treatment from the IRS. The “inappropriate criteria” used to single out tea party groups — so-called “Be On the Look Out” (BOLO) memos — also singled out progressive and “Occupy” groups. “We did not review the use, disposition, purpose or content of the other BOLOs. That was outside the scope of our audit,” the Treasury inspector general spokesman told The Hill. The BOLO memos stated tax exempt status for progressive groups “may not be appropriate” because they were engaged in “anti-Republican” political activity. On the other hand, the BOLO memos only directed IRS employees to send tea party applications to a particular group. IRS officials have said the tea party applications were “centralized” to insure they received consistent treatment. Exactly how the BOLO memos were used remains unclear. The report identified 298 groups that were subjected to additional scrutiny, and identified 98 of those groups as either tea party, patriot or 9/12 groups. The remaining 202 groups were labelled as “other.” During congressional hearings, George was repeatedly asked if these 202 “other” groups included liberal organizations. He said he couldn’t “make that determination” based on the available evidence. However, several liberal groups received the same level of IRS scrutiny as tea party groups. The omitted information has caused Democrats to question whether the audit was truthful. “Failing to make this clear in these documents and at Congressional Hearings even when asked directly has been fully misleading,” Rep. Sandy Levin (D-MI) wrote in a letter to George on Wednesday. “It has contributed to the distortion of this entire investigation, including use of innuendo and totally unsubstantiated assertions of White House involvement.” The Associated Press on Wednesday confirmed that liberal and progressive groups were subjected the same treatment that conservative groups had complained about, including excessive questioning and extremely long waits. The liberal group Catholics United, for instance, waited seven years before receiving tax exempt status, far longer than any tea party group was forced to wait. Meanwhile, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration’s office has continued to defend its audit of the IRS. Karen Kraushaar told the Associated Press that the inspector general was only “asked to look at the treatment of organizations known to be affiliated with the tea party in its review, and was asked to audit the way those organizations were being treated when they applied for tax-exempt status.” Kraushaar implied information regarding liberal and progressive groups was omitted simply because of the narrow scope of the audit.

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

So GM is now trying to blame its ignition switch safety scandal on a low-ranking “lone wolf” engineer. That doesn’t even merit an “oh puleese”! Instead, it deserves scorn, derision and sharp poke in the eye. The fact is, no “lone wolf” has ever survived long enough to collect a single paycheck at General Motors anytime during the last century. It has always been the ultimate corporate bureaucracy ever since the legendary Alfred P. Sloan Jr. organized it that way back in the 1920s. After all, GM did originally master the art of mass production. You don’t roll-off the assembly line 1500 cars in one day from a three shift operation without layers upon layers of management, and without procedural manuals and operational paper flows that in the pre-computer era took down a good sized forest every month.

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.

I have no hope things will get better. I lost my job 2 years ago which paid around $60K and all I can get is a part-time chauffer job. I've gained 85 pounds eating pasta and mashed potatoes. I can't afford to get my haircut, so I trim it myself. I have 6 pairs of underwear and about 5 socks. My car is 11 years old.
I am cleaning out my parents house, which they have lived in since the early 1950s. I have found a lot of things still in their original packaging and have been looking up the prices in today's dollars on an inflation calculator. While it is great to find out that 1.50 in 1955 equals 12.00 in 2010 dollars, it doesn't help with context. For example, I found a cheap, dime store, plastic doll in it's original box. The sort of doll one bought to crochet or knit clothing for. It was originally 1.50. It would be 12.00 in today's money, but the same doll would not sell for 12.00 today. It would probably be under 5.00 (made in China). It seems that an inflation calculator appear to compare apples to apples, but it is actually comparing apples to pancakes. It also raises the question of what would happen in products were at 1950s prices? Would everything be more expensive? Just certain items?
Three weeks ago Michael Hastings was killed in a spectacular car crash, so fiery that it is rarely, if ever, seen outside a cinema. Hastings had written a profile of Gen Stanley McChrystal for Rolling Stone in 2010, the fallout of which resulted in the General retiring, disgraced. Hours before the crash Hastings had contacted his lawyers about a new, explosive and damaging journalistic piece exposing criminal activity by high ranking government employees. The police and fire departments, as well as the Medical Examiner, have refused to release any internal reports. In this video, San Diego-based reporter Kimberly Dvorak discuses the Michael Hastings crash. She mentions the unusual intensity of the fire and the unusual location of the engine relative to the body of the car. This looks like a political murder, perhaps as payback and warning to other whistleblowers.

A number of high profile music figures, including George Michael and all four members of British band Arctic Monkeys, are among 1,600 people who collectively tried to shelter £1.2 billion ($2 billion) in a tax avoidance scheme, reports The Times. Investors in the Liberty tax strategy also include Sir Michael Caine and Take That star Gary Barlow, alongside a number of top businessmen, QCs, NHS doctors, party donors and a judge, according to a secret database leaked to the British newspaper. George Michael reportedly sought to shelter £6.2 million ($10.6 million) in record and tour sales after paying £443,000 ($750,000) in fees to Mercury Tax Group, the Leeds-based company that ran the scheme. The singer’s investments in Liberty were made about 7 years ago – around the same time that he embarked his “25 Live” world tour. It was also reported that the four members of Arctic Monkeys - Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O’Malley and Matt Helders - sheltered between £557,000 ($950,000) and £1.1 million ($1.9 million) in the Liberty scheme. George Michael’s publicist and representatives of the Arctic Monkeys all declined to comment, states The Times. Katie Melua, meanwhile, sought to shelter £850,000 through Liberty in 2008. Two years later, she was nominated for Christian Aid’s Tax Superhero Award after publicly stating that she paid “nearly half of what comes to me in taxes”. .. Speaking to The Times, Melua’s lawyers said that she had invested in Liberty at the suggestion of her accountants but repaid the sheltered tax to Revenue & Customs and so had not avoided tax. HM Revenues and Custom (HMRC) has spent more than a decade investigating Liberty, which generated huge artificial ‘losses’ offshore which its members could then use to avoid tax on other income. HMRC is due to challenge the legality of the scheme in court next year. However, under new Treasury rules due to be brought in this month, Liberty members may have to pay back hundreds of millions of pounds in disputed tax before any hearing takes takes place. The Times states that Gary Barlow, who reportedly invested over £4 million ($6.8 million) in the Liberty scheme, is among those who can expect to receive a large tax bill in the coming weeks. Barlow also faces a separate tax bill over his involvement in a second tax avoidance scheme called Icebreaker, which was discredited by Judge Colin Bishop at a ruling earlier this year. Barlow’s Take That bandmates Howard Donald, Mark Owen and band’s manager, Jonathan Wild, were also reported to have invested in the Icebreaker scheme, which was used by around 1,000 people and wealthy individuals to shelter approximately £340 million ($580 million).

Gravity star says paper has crossed 'far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence' Actor George Clooney has accused the Daily Mail of concocting a false and irresponsible story about his fiancée, the human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin. He issued a strongly-worded statement to the popular American national newspaper, USA Today, following the publication of a Mail article which claimed that Alamuddin's mother, Baria, opposed their forthcoming marriage on religious grounds. It cited unnamed family members as its source. Clooney wrote: "I want to speak to the irresponsibility of Monday's Daily Mail report. I seldom respond to tabloids, unless it involves someone else and their safety or well being. The Daily Mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiancée's mother opposing our marriage for religious reasons. It says Amal's mother has been telling 'half of Beirut' that she's against the wedding. It says they joke about traditions in the Druze religion that end up with the death of the bride. Let me repeat that: the death of the bride." In his statement he dismantled the key details of the Mail's story: "None of the story is factually true. Amal's mother is not Druze. She has not been to Beirut since Amal and I have been dating, and she is in no way against the marriage." But that, in his view, was not "the issue." After claiming that he is used to the Mail "making up stories" about him, he argued that "this lie involves larger issues." He wrote: "The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous. We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal." Clooney, 53, whose father was a TV journalist and broadcaster, continued: "I'm the son of a newsman; I accept the idea that freedom of speech can be an inconvenience to my private life from time to time." But he was concerned by the fact that the Mail's false story had been picked up by hundreds of other outlets, such as Boston.com, New York Daily News, Gulf News and Emirates 24/7. Daily Mail story on George Clooney's fiancée Daily Mail story on George Clooney's fiancée He concluded his statement by writing: "The Daily Mail, more than any other organisation that calls itself news, has proved time and time again that facts make no difference in the articles they make up. "And when they put my family and my friends in harm's way, they cross far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence. They must be so very proud." He cited three "idiotic" and false stories that the Mail has fabricated about him and Alamuddin: she was pregnant, their marriage will take place on the set of Downton Abbey and he is running for political office. These are, he claims, stories "they sit at their computers and invent." The latest Mail Online version of the story is different from the one published in the newspaper on Monday. It was amended six hours after it was originally posted on the website. But it still states that Alamuddin's mother, Baria, "is not so impressed" with Clooney and "wanted her to marry within their strict Lebanese religious sect, according to close family friends." USA Today reports that the Mail "did not respond to requests for comment."

H8rs (yes, I hate that "word", but it's appropriate) have been predicting this would be the first "failure" in the "Marvel Movieverse" since "Iron Man". Barely recognized by comic nerds- it was too obscure, too nerdy- and risky, it would tank. Wow. I am lucky enough to get to see it. A friend knows I'm a nerd (and he is working on the VFX) so he got me into a special screening for ad execs. We laughed our asses off. The story is rote, and hits every note you've ever seen in a "space fantasy" but the execution is mostly flawless. I love Pratt on "P&Rec" and this is a BIG win for him. Oh, and Rocket Raccoon is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
They've been enjoying an Italian getaway together. And unlikely friends Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez were pictured flying into Sardinia Airport via a private jet on Thursday. They were accompanied by their host, Italian businessman Gianluca Vacchi and his girlfriend. That day, Gianluca shared an Instagram video hopping out of the private jet and kissing the ground, with the caption, ‘SARDINIA finally!!! enjoy #GVlifestyle’ Zac, 26, and Michelle, 35, were last pictured together at Porto Cervo in Sardinia on July 25, embarking on a boat ride. It appears they have returned after vacationing elsewhere. Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Zac and Michelle looked coordinated on Thursday, and were both clad in head to toe black. The Neighbors actor sported a sweater over shorts with high socks and sneakers and a duffel bag slung over his shoulder. Feeling warm, he then removed his outerwear to reveal a blue and white T-shirt.

I decided a couple years ago that I can't participate in celebrating the 4th of July any more. It seems like the meaning of this holiday has changed so much in the last several years, mainly after 9/11. It used to be a jubilant holiday, a celebration of our Independence as a country, our country's history. Now, it is this weird, nationalistic, somber military holiday, at least where I live. I went to our city's annual 4th of July fireworks a couple of years ago, and was really repulsed by how much of a "support our troops" theme there was. They play music along with the fireworks on the local radio station, and they had all of these "shout-outs" recorded to people in the military, and then they started thanking them for providing us with the "blanket of freedom" under which we sleep every night. What in the holy fuck? They barely mentioned the original purpose of the holiday. Now this year, someone on Facebook posted an article saying, "Don't just 'thank the troops' this 4th of July, you should tell them why you're thankful" including snippets like this: -Tell them you're thankful to them that you are free to travel around your country -Tell them you're thankful that they protect your freedom of speech -Tell them you're thankful that they protect your right to pray every night. I'm sick of it. It used to be a fun, interesting celebratory holiday. Now it's like Veteran's Day/Memorial Day/Support Our Troops that are Pointlessly Stationed in a Thousand Different Countries Day. Two years ago, part of the broadcast during the fireworks was "Now, let's salute our policemen, firemen, and EMTs!" WTF?

This is from MetaFilter, and the comments are astonishing and amusing. ------- This week the FDA announced it will not permit American cheesemakers to age cheese on wooden boards, potentially destroying the ability to make or import a wide variety of artisanal cheeses. Despite being legal in the various cheese making states and having been used for hundreds of years, the FDA is cracking down under the Food Safety Modernization Act. A sampling of cheeses impacted: Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Cabot Clothbound, Marieke Feonegreek, Bleu Mont Bandaged Cheddar, along with parmesan, aged cheddar and the only American produced Limburger. Critics quickly point out that there is no proof of any actual illness due to boards used in cheese making and that the FDA's interpretation of underlying studies is misguided. Cheese boards are a part of preserving the (bacterial) culture that generation after generation allows a cheesemaker to reproduce artisanal cheese. A brief introduction to cheese making (especially in Wisconsin) and the use of wood.

Unemployed Idol: Wannabe Congressman Clay Aiken Gets $90K Per Year In Child Support, Claims Source Clay Aiken is really hoping to win the Congressional seat in North Carolina this fall, and not just because he wants to serve his country. RadarOnline.com has learned that he could use the paycheck because the only other steady source of income the former American Idol contestant collects each month is the child support payment from his baby mama, Jaymes Foster, sister of mega record producer, David. Even though Jaymes has primary custody of her five-year-old-son with Aiken, Parker, “Clay is given a substantial amount of child support from her,” an insider revealed. “The basis for the child support payment — which is more than $7,500 a month — is that Jaymes is raising Parker in a very luxurious lifestyle, therefore, Clay needs to be able to maintain and provide that for his son also. So, mommy pays for that.”

OK! Magazine reports Mendes is seven months pregnant with Gosling's baby. “She’s been ready for motherhood for a while now and to be sharing this experience with Ryan is a dream come true for her!” a supposed insider told the tabloid. A source also said wedding bells may ring soon, too: “Ryan doesn’t think they need to marry just because they are having a baby, but Eva believes it’s important to have their lives fully intertwined." "Access Hollywood" also reported on the pregnancy, citing an unnamed source.

Two developments are occurring simultaneously: women are rejecting the female role, and life is being created in the laboratory. Unless the structure is totally transformed, we can expect that when women no longer function as biological breeders we will be expendable. As men learn more and more to control reproduction, as cloning becomes a reality, and as the technology of computers and robots develop, there is every reason to think that men as we know them will use that control and technology to create the sex objects that will gratify them. Men, after all, nave throughout history resorted to gynocide as a stratagem of social control, as a tactical way of attaining/maintaining power. That is the simple, compelling reality. There are only two other options: women must seize power, or we must accomplish the transformation into androgyny.

I love the new Acura Gulliver's Travels commercial. The way Gulliver whines about wanting to go home and then flexes his toes is so sexy. The Acura Chariot literally made him curl his toes.

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

Reuters) - President Barack Obama expressed concern on Wednesday that his request to Congress for $3.7 billion to tackle a border crisis could fall victim to partisan politics and urged Texas Governor Rick Perry, a sharp critic, to get behind his effort. "Are folks more interested in politics or are they more interested in solving the problem," Obama said he told Perry. "If they are interested in solving the problem then this can be solved. If the preference is for politics then it won’t be solved." Obama visited Texas for the first time since the influx of child migrants from Central America overwhelmed border resources. He had talks with Perry aboard his Marine One helicopter and in a group meeting with local officials that Obama called constructive.

There is no way Hamas thought they could kidnap and murder 3 Israelis in cold blood without any retribution. So then, this was planned. But why? They knew it would stir shit up and Hamas has to know Israel will blast them to Hell and back. This can't be simply a PR move so then, why?

From SCOTUSBlog: [quote]The Supreme Court sent a fairly strong signal on Tuesday that its ruling giving some for-profit businesses a right not to provide birth control services to their female workers goes beyond the specific methods at issue in that decision. It issued a series of orders on six cases, each of which involved owners who objected to all of the pregnancy-related services mandated under the new federal health care law. Last year, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled against Eden Foods in Eden Foods v Burwell, in part because the company's owner had given interviews saying he didn't have "particular" religious beliefs, he just didn't think the government should be in his business. But now that the Hobby Lobby case has been decided, SCOTUS has ordered Eden Foods v Burwell to be revisited. From Think Progress: [quote]Should Eden Foods prevail, however, it could shatter what may be the most fundamental assumption of any law protecting the free exercise of religion — religious exercise laws protect religious exercise, they don’t protect the right of an anti-government CEO to make a federal case out of every single thing the government does that he disagrees with. Our courts are going to be tied up for years with this kind of crap, CEOs using vague "religious beliefs" to try to save a few pennies. So far, these religious beliefs are overwhelmingly Catholic, but expect that to expand to any (and every) religion.

What would you write? I would definitely write about the time that my father laughed when a neighbor told my 7 year-old self that I was fat and shouldn't be eating my Halloween candy. When I called him on it, he told me to shut-up and just lose some weight. I would also write that he could be very kind to everyone in the room when he was in the company of his older, more-successful brother, who secretly terrorized my two girl cousins by screaming at them whenever they made the most minor of infractions. I never knew about the latter until I was an adult.

There are genuinely great moments in it, like Michael Jackson and Diana Ross dancing up the yellow brick road while singing "Ease on Down the Road" to an Emerald City of Chrysler Buildings, and the Winkies singing "Ev'rybody Rejoice" to Twyla Tharp choreography. And the cast could not be beat (though Diana Ross was far too old to play Dorothy, and in most of her scenes seems like she's having a seizure). But the film is such a terrible mess.
The endlessly fascinating world of HKN is not quite so fascinating anymore. Is this because there's just so much a person can take when it comes to the sorry state of affairs in the land of delusion? The name-calling is growing old and repetitive. The We Believe! mantra is becoming more and more transparent. And, well, honestly, just how many laughing gifs can a person stomach in one day? And then we have the subjects of this thread themselves. Unless one of them comes out or learns to act or finds some talent, the fact is that they will not be able to hold our attention much longer. Then again, one can always hope. Right?

I hope he has a good exercise regimen for those jaw muscles. Now it's Phaedra's turn. [bold]'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' husband Apollo Nida gets prison for fraud[/bold] (CNN) -- Apollo Nida, husband of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-star Phaedra Parks, is headed to prison for eight years on fraud charges. Nida, who appears on the reality TV series with Parks, was arrested in January and pleaded guilty in May to charges in a fraud scheme that federal prosecutors say stole millions of dollars from at least 50 people over four years. A hearing on July 17 will determine how much restitution Nida must pay to his victims. Nida, 35, must serve five years under parole supervision after he completes his eight years in a federal prison, U.S. District Court Judge Charles A. Pannell, Jr. ordered during sentencing Tuesday. It will be the second prison stint for Nida, who previously served five years in a federal prison for auto title fraud before marrying Parks in 2009. Nida created two fake collection companies to gather personal information used to steal victims' identities, U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said after his sentencing in Atlanta. He used the information to get fraudulent auto loans in the names of his victims, according to the criminal complaint. He was busted after a year-long investigation by the U.S. Secret Service. "Today's sentencing exemplifies impartial justice regardless of economic class or perceived celebrity status," U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Reginald Moore said. "Nida's sentence should be an eye-opener for other like-minded criminals who scheme to steal victims' identities, defraud them and ignore the consequences of their actions." The break in the case came in September, when federal investigators arrested Gayla St. Julein, a woman who "described herself as Nida's 'right hand b****' in executing the legwork of his fraud schemes," the complaint said. St. Julien, who previously served prison time for identity theft, told agents that Nida "only paid her 'scraps'" for her work, compared to the amount of money he made from the fraud schemes," the filing said. She turned on him and agreed to let agents record their phone calls, it said. Nida "knowingly and willfully (did) execute and attempt to execute a scheme to defraud federally insured financial institutions by depositing stolen and fraudulently obtained checks and fraudulently obtained auto loan proceeds into bank accounts opened in the stolen identities of real persons, and conspire with others to do so, and knowingly convert to his use and the use of others stolen and fraudulently obtained United States Treasury Checks," Special Agent Alexandre Herrera said in a sworn affidavit. Nida's fake companies fraudulently signed up with "LexisNexis, Equifax, and Mircrobilt databases" to steal personal information on people. Along with the fraudulent auto loan checks, Nida stole U.S. Treasury checks, "retirement checks issued to Delta Airlines employees, and checks in the names of real people that were owed unclaimed property from various state and federal government agencies," the complaint said. Agents recorded phone calls St. Julien made to Nida during which he discussed details of pending fraudulent auto loans and "details of future auto loan checks that he was expecting to receive any day now from in the mail," the affidavit said.

Rob Ford was the lone member of council not to stand up to applaud city staff and volunteers that worked on World Pride Toronto. Although Ford did clap briefly, he didn't join councillors in two standing ovations as they saluted World Pride officials. Ford has had a rocky relationship with the city's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) community since he swept to office He objecting to the raising of the Pride flag during the Sochi games as it caters to 'special' interest groups He also objected to $1.5 million in taxpayer cash to help prevent HIV/AIDS, arguing most people don’t have to worry about acquiring the ailment unless they’re gay or intravenous drug users. “It is very preventable,” he spouted in his typically bombastic fashion. “If you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you wouldn’t get AIDS probably, that’s bottom line.” “These are the facts,” he added when asked if he backed his earlier comments. "How are women getting it? Maybe they are sleeping with bi-sexual men,” he responded. Not surprisingly he opposes same-sex marriage saying he believes in "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"

Singer Garth Brooks tonight told the 400,000 people who have bought tickets for his Irish concerts that he will play five shows in Dublin or none at all. In a statement issued after Dublin City Council refused to licence two of the five concerts; those due to be held on July 28th and 29th, Brooks said: “For us, it is five shows or none at all.” “To choose which shows to do and which shows not to do, would be like asking to choose one child over another. However this plays out, Ireland has my heart and always will.” The singer thanked Irish people for making him feel welcome and said he had “faith that Dublin City Council will make the best decision for the people of Ireland”. Earlier promoter Peter Aiken warned all the Brooks concerts were at risk of cancellation following the council’s decision. Speaking to RTÉ Mr Aiken said he had been in contact with Brooks but no solution had been found to the issues surrounding reducing the number of shows planned. “It’s up in the air. That’s the honest to God answer. I can’t turn around and say the three shows are going to happen.” The nature and scale of the shows planned was such that it would take five shows to “get it right” Mr Aiken said. He added that their scale also meant that it would not be possible to use another venue for the two concerts which cannot now be held in the Croke Park Stadium. “It’s a one off show ...we can’t strip that down and move to another venue.” Mr Aiken said he or members of his staff had been in daily contact with the city council and had been given no indication there would be problem with running five concerts. The council said it was refusing permission for two of the five concerts over fears of noise, traffic disruption, illegal parking and “potential antisocial behaviour”. The “scale, magnitude and number” of concerts, with an expected attendance of in excess of 80,000 people per night over five consecutive nights, three of them being week nights, was “unprecedented” for Croke Park Stadium, the council said. Licences have been granted for just three concerts on July 25th, 26th and 27th. The concerts on the 28th and 29th of the month will not proceed. About 160,000 concert-goers will be affected by the cancellation of the two concerts. It appears unlikely that the cancelled concerts can be relocated to another venue as planning laws require an application to be made ten weeks before an event. Some 400,000 tickets for the five concerts were snapped up within days when they went on sale earlier this year. In its decision the council noted that three consecutive concerts have already taken place in Croke Park, the One Direction concerts held in May. It said Croke Park was situated in a heavily populated residential area and that five shows in a row following the three concerts earlier this year was an “over intensification” of use of the stadium for special events. “It would be in effect permitting an increase of 100 per cent in terms of the maximum number of concerts that had previously been held in Croke Park in any given year since the redevelopment of the stadium.”

I believe that television shows are not a forum for expressing personal religious, social or political views. However, I have not objected when fellow performers have worn a Stand Up 2 Cancer T-Shirt to express their support for cancer research; that's their choice. My choice is NOT to wear a Stand Up 2 Cancer T-Shirt. Readers should know wearing a Stand Up 2 Cancer T-Shirt is no longer entirely voluntary. Those who began by offering these T-Shirts to performers at the Stand Up 2 Cancer event now resort to extreme tactics in pursuit of their express goal of 100 percent conformity. When performers arrive, individuals who attempt to force a T-Shirt on them accost them. A performer who declines may be accosted at the pre-show, again while waiting backstage and after the show. Offering these Stand Up 2 Cancer T-Shirts to celebrities was, in my view, a benign and pro-social act. On the other hand, aggressively badgering performers to compel the wearing of a Stand Up 2 Cancer T-Shirt is no only demeaning to cancer patients and to the desperate need of continued support, but an offence against personal freedom. By attempting to force 100 percent conformity, these activists are now attempting to make the Stand Up 2 Cancer T-Shirt a visible litmus test for separating those individuals who empathize with cancer patients from those who do not. This is a misguided and dangerous notion. First, it misguidedly politicizes human tragedy. These Stand Up 2 Cancer T-Shirts provide a means by which public figures can appear to make a 'politically correct' statement in favor of a cause they do not support. Second, any attempt to force conformity to a single social agenda attacks the freedom of expression. The extreme activities that resort to harassment to compel actors and actresses to wear these Stand Up 2 Cancer T-Shirts are practicing a '90s brand of McCarthyism – and their behavior is deplorable. Our community was devastated by political extremists in the 1950s and again became a target during the last presidential campaign. It surpasses belief that men and women in the entertainment field would resort to shameful practices that the enemies of artistic freedom have used against us. Sadly, it falls to some of us who ardently support cancer patients and programs to resist these tactics by personal example. Believe me, the easy way out would be to wear the T-Shirt and keep silent. But I won't, because I don't want these appalling tactics to succeed.

First of all- If you've never read Viktor Frankl’s book "Man’s Search for Meaning" then go. NOW! It will twist your mind and make you a better human. Seriously. After that you can understand this post. -------- The surface facts make abundantly clear that the case for the Ex-Im Bank is truly lame. In the most recent year (2013), its credit guarantees and other programs accounted for $37 billion of exports or less than 2% of the $2.2 trillion of exports generated by the US economy. Moreover, by the bank’s own reckoning only about $12 billion of these Ex-Im deals deployed taxpayer subsidies in order to “meet competition from a foreign, officially sponsored export credit agency”. So suppose those latter export deals which purportedly faced unfair competition from foreign governments would not have happened absent Ex-Im financing. We are talking about 0.6% of exports and 0.1% of GDP. That is, we are talking about economic “noise” that is so feint that even Janet Yellen could not detect it! Actually, we are talking about something even more spurious. Fully $8 billion or two-thirds of this $12 billion in competitively disadvantaged exports were attributable to a single customer —the Boeing Corporation (BA). Moreover, the company’s own financial director publicly admitted that it could “find alternative funding sources” without the Ex-Im Bank. So the issue is not $8 billion of commercial jet sales or nothing. Its about the marginal cost of export finance, and whether any incremental costs needed to offset the dumb subsidies of foreign governments should be absorbed by the taxpayers of America or the shareholders of the Boeing Corporation. And the answer to that question is not very hard to ascertain.
[quote]Rosie O'Donnell has made her deal with "The View" ... sources connected with the negotiations tell TMZ. We're told the show will make the announcement shortly. TMZ broke the story ... the negotiations fired up a few days ago and the deal was almost completed by end of business day Monday. The deal is now complete. Rosie will join Whoopi Goldberg on the show. As we reported, producers are also looking for a Latina and a conservative. Two conservative candidates who are being scoped are Abby Huntsman and Margaret Hoover.

I'd be pissed too if that fat ass stepped on me.
This morning while driving on the highway my car was actually running well, the windows were down letting the cool breeze in, the sun was shining, and I was in the zone. Then a feeling came over me that I haven't felt in years, the same tinges of hope which I haven't felt in a long time, that I used to carry inside me daily in my younger years. The feeling that, maybe, I can actually do something with my life. I haven't felt like this in years, and why I suddenly felt like this today, I have no idea. But a feeling washed over me that if I could get just get my shit together, I could actually achieve something for myself.

Another thread where the OP was moaning about "relapsing" made me wonder about this phenomenon of pity for alcohol and drug addicted people and their constant relapsing and going on the wagon bullshit. Obese people receive virtually no such support for indulging in their addition. There are no commercials for special rehab resorts which promise to "care" and "understand" them, or hoarders, or people with any other addiction they won't man or woman-up and take care of. Yet we see movies and TV programs devoted to the "struggle" of worthless pieces of human shit who have had multiple chances, multiple tries, public support, love of family and friends to help the fix the problem THEY created. Why is that? I'm sorry to sound harsh but I have zero pity, zero heartfelt sympathy for druggies and drunks. They created the problem. Society bends over backwards in efforts (and public money) to help them, mostly to no avail. Why are they special? Why do they get a free pass? They're awful, horrible, dishonest monsters of the human race.

So it's Friday night and I'm thinking of rejoining... I was with the service for about eight months, but left a year ago. Since then, I haven't had much action dating-wise (and I'm not talking about a hookup, but a date). The profiles were often interesting, and I corresponded with people around the country, but never met anyone in my city. Does anyone have any experiences (good, bad, indifferent, lurid, whatever) with OKC or sites like it? Are there some out there worth trying? Or is it really just a Grindr/Growlr world in 2013?

From Wes Anderson to Zooey Deschanel to Brooklynites on bicycles, a terrifying aesthetic is overtaking America. Eight years ago or so, the alternative paper I was working for sent me out to review a couple of folk-noise-psych-indie-beardie-weirdie bands. I had a dreadful night. The bands were bad enough—“fumbling,” I scratched in my notebook, “infantile”—but what really did me in was the audience. Instead of baying for the blood of these lightweights, as in the Darwinian days of old, the gathered young people—behatted, bebearded, besmiling—obliged them with patters of validating applause. I had seen it before, this fond curiosity, this acclamation of the undercooked, but never so much of it in one place: the whole event seemed to exult in its own half-bakedness. Be as crap as you like was the message to the performers. The crapper, the better. We’re here for you. I tottered home, wrote a homicidally nasty nervous breakdown of a review, and decided I should take myself out of circulation for a while. No more live reviews until I calmed down. A wave of Twee—as I now realize—had just broken over my head. Is Twee the right word for it, for the strangely persistent modern sensibility that fructifies in the props departments of Wes Anderson movies, tapers into the waxed mustache-ends of young Brooklynites on bicycles, and detonates in a yeasty whiff every time someone pops open a microbrewed beer? Well, it is now. An across-the-board examination of this thing is long overdue, and the former Spin writer Marc Spitz is to be congratulated on having risen to the challenge. With Twee: The Gentle Revolution in Music, Books, Television, Fashion, and Film, he’s given it a name, and he’s given it a canon. (The canon is crucial, as we shall see.) And if his book is a little all over the place—well, so is Twee. Spitz hails it as “the most powerful youth movement since Punk and Hip-Hop.” He doesn’t even put an arguably in there, bless him. You’re Twee if you like artisanal hot sauce. You’re Twee if you hate bullies. Indeed, it’s Spitz’s contention that we’re all a bit Twee: the culture has turned. Twee’s core values include “a healthy suspicion of adulthood”; “a steadfast focus on our essential goodness”; “the cultivation of a passion project” (T-shirt company, organic food truck); and “the utter dispensing with of ‘cool’ as it’s conventionally known, often in favor of a kind of fetishization of the nerd, the geek, the dork, the virgin.” The aesthetic lineage that Spitz proposes—his connect-the-dots survey of Tweedom across the decades, from Peanuts to Jonathan Richman to New Girl—starts with Mickey Mouse. Mickey’s shorts, his hooting eunuch voice, his taking arms against a sea of troubles: Spitz appoints him “the first American Twee icon.” Close behind in the Twee parade trots Ferdinand the Bull, followed by the contemplative elephant Horton, and then—trying hard not to be a virgin—Holden Caulfield. The point of these characters is the bravery with which they assert their tender selves. Or perhaps the tenderness with which they assert their brave selves. Whatever: in a shitty world, they’re taking a stand for beauty. We might quibble, you and I, with elements of Spitz’s Twee taxonomy, his Tweexonomy, what he calls his “heroes’ gallery of pajama people.” I can’t accept, for example, that Sylvia Plath, rising from the ashes with her red hair and eating men like air, was ever Twee—although I can accept that thinking she was Twee is Twee. And shouldn’t Kerouac be in there somewhere? (“Don’t you know that God is Pooh Bear?”) What about Vonnegut? But all of this just puts us further inside the Twee-dome. To bandy names like this, to compare pedigrees, is to play the deep game of Twee.

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

He really, really beats that bitch up! Now her grifter family are looking for their payday. "A lawyer representing a woman taped being beaten by a California Highway Patrol trooper on the side of a highway said her family wants authorities held accountable for 'beating a great-grandmother in broad daylight.' Los Angeles attorney Caree Harper declined to disclose the woman's name or answer questions about what the woman was doing along the edge of one of the city's busiest freeways. 'We want the focus to be what he was doing to her, not what she was doing' prior to the confrontation, said Harper, who said she is representing the family. 'She was getting beat like an animal. No one should ever be beat like that.' The California Highway Patrol has vowed to carry out a thorough investigation - but authorities claimed he simply stopped her for her own safety. The woman had been walking on Interstate 10 west of downtown Los Angeles, endangering herself and people in traffic, and the officer was trying to restrain her, CHP Assistant Chief Chris O'Quinn said at a news conference. O'Quinn said the woman had begun walking off the freeway but returned when the confrontation occurred."

Elisabeth Hasselbeck sure can hold a grudge. After learning that her former View colleague might return to the program for its eighteenth season, the Fox & Friends co-host called into her new show to dredge up old drama. Hasselbeck, who is on vacation, brought up her infamous fight with O'Donnell, which led to the comic's premature exit from the show. "What could ruin a vacation more than to hear news like this?" Hasselbeck asked Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. "I know Rosie very well. We worked quite closely. Talk about not securing the border! Here in comes to The View the very woman who spit in the face of our military, spit in the face of her own network, and really in the face of a person who stood by her and had civilized debates for the time that she was there, coming back with a bunch of control ready to regain a seat at the View table." According to Hasselbeck, O'Donnell's possible re-hiring is "not surprising" at all. As the conservative television personality explained to her co-hosts, "I think this has been in the works for a long time." NEWS: Elisabeth Hasselbeck's most controversial moments on The View "I'll go back to the reunion show for [Barbara Walters]. How odd is this, when you have the woman, who again, insinuated that our own troops were terrorists in Iraq at the time, then left the show...to have such ease the day of Barbara's goodbye show was shocking to me? She walked around with a lot of control and I had the chance to talk to her," the Survivor alum, 37, said. She continued, "Rosie herself told me, on-set, while we were mic'ed up, that she produced the reunion show to have everybody together and it was her idea. Now, would you think that the woman who left in the way that she did would be producing Barbara's goodbye show? Here's the shocker: It was actually her hello show." Hasselbeck said she will be "very interested" to see how O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg might interact, particularly because Goldberg is an EGOT winner and O'Donnell is not. "I don't think it would be wise for Rosie O'Donnell to challenge Whoopi Goldberg on anything. I really don't," she warned. "And I would also say that after years of being there, Rosie found out one thing about me: Don't mess with a pregnant mama and do not mess with our military when it comes to this girl sitting next to her."

Something about his saying that foreign kids should be running into the US or some shit?
OK, I know this will get me a lot of grief, but it's a serious question. I'm in my early 60s, retired, and reasonably well off. I've always been frugal and thrifty, because while I had a steady government job, and now have a good pension, I always wanted to make sure I had enough to take care of myself (and my mother) in my old age. Now I'm alone - my mother and siblings have all passed, and I have no children, nieces or nephews. And while my income was more than sufficient, I have inherited some money and two houses, one of which I sold and the other of which I'm renting. So ... here's the issue: I find it difficult to spend my money! I still use coupons and look for deals. I never stay in upscale lodging establishments or do things I've always considered to be wasteful extravagances, like massages or spas, or resorts. I have no one to leave my money to, and who knows how much longer I'll be around? How do I force myself to use my money?
Oh God, she's still a delusional mess! In a new interview with the San Francisco Examiner, Jackson talks about his upcoming part in Ryan Murphy’s HBO pilot about open relationships. Jackson, himself in sober recovery, will play a meth addict. Teasing the new HBO show, the actor, who has already appeared nude onstage, admits he has no caveats when it comes to getting naked for his HBO role "only" if it’s “germane to the story.” In September, Jackson filed for divorce. A month later, he publicly began dating a fellow actor. At the same time, Jackson shaved his head, grew a mustache and got Elvis Presley lyrics tattooed on his arm. The media labeled the drastic transition for the once clean-cut actor as a sign of a midlife crisis. “I have had quite a difficult and transitional year. Despite this newfound reputation as a 38-year-old bad boy, Jackson said settling down and raising a family is something he’s always wanted.“I have known I was going to be a dad as long as I can remember,” he said. Addressing the daily barrage of twitter and Instagram selfies Jackson has been posting of himself kissing his new boyfriend. Cheyenne tagged his latest selfies WeAreWellAwareHowAnnoyingWeAre

Sean Hayes Joins CBS’ ‘The Millers’ as Series Regular JULY 8, 2014 | 02:15PM PT, Shelli Weinstein Sean Hayes has signed onto CBS’ “The Millers” as a series regular for the comedy’s upcoming second season. Hayes will play Kip Withers, Carol Miller’s (Margo Martindale) new best friend and source of friction for her son, Nathan (Will Arnett). “After years of being a fan and hearing from others how wonderful he is to work with, I couldn’t be more excited about Sean Hayes joining ‘The Millers,’ ” said Greg Garcia, series creator and executive producer, in a statement. “The thought of he and Margo Martindale as BFF’s makes me smile every time I think about it. We’re only just getting started, and writing this season’s stories has been a blast.” Hayes most recently starred in and executive produced the sitcom “Sean Saves the World,” which was canceled by NBC in January. His additional credits include “Smash,” “Up All Night” and most famously “Will & Grace,” on which he played Jack McFarland for eight seasons. “The Millers” returns for season two at 8:30 p.m., Oct. 30 on CBS.

Neal Baer writes "I'm gay. There, I said it, and it only took five decades." When I told my son Caleb, who's in college, 10 months ago, he asked, "It took you this long to figure it out?" "No," I said. "It took me this long to say it." "Oh," he replied. "Where do you want to go for dinner?" “Then I started writing for television, and I didn't realize it, but who I really was seeped into stories on ER and SVU. I wrote about the struggles and accomplishments of gay youth, destigmatizing HIV/AIDS, whether transgender youth should be allowed to take hormone blockers, bullying, the pain of being on the down low (I really know about that one), AIDS deniers. Those stories were preparing me to come out.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- CBS says popular sitcom star Sean Hayes is joining the cast of its comedy "The Millers" as a series regular. Hayes will play the new best friend of the character played by Margo Martindale and a new source of friction for her son, played by Will Arnett, CBS said on Tuesday. Hayes is best-known from eight seasons on the sitcom "Will & Grace." Last season he starred in the comedy series "Sean Saves the World." "The Millers," which premiered last fall, is a family comedy also starring Beau Bridges and J.B. Smoove. Its second season begins October 30.

Dumbo may fly again. Disney is developing a live-action take on its 1941 animated classic Dumbo and has Transformers franchise writer Ehren Kruger penning the script. Justin Springer, who worked on Tron: Legacy as well as Oblivion, is producing, as will Kruger. At 64 minutes, Dumbo is one of Disney’s shortest features but remains one of its most emotionally satisfying ones as it tells the story of a baby circus elephant who is made fun for his large ears. When his mother steps in to protect him and is locked up for it, he ends up on the road with a mouse as his companion. The mouse instills into Dumbo the idea that with the help of a magic feather, he can fly. The movie produced several classic songs, notably "When I See an Elephant Fly"; "Baby Mine," which was nominated for a best song Oscar; and "Pink Elephants on Parade." The new take involves the adaptation of the original movie while adding a unique family story that parallels Dumbo's story. Also, the studio believes that because of the current state of CG technology, live-action movies featuring a soaring pachyderm (or any animal for that matter) are viable. This is the latest classic animated title that Disney is turning into a live-action movie, and it’s a strategy that has paid off: Maleficent, the most recent example, is a re-imagining of the 1959 movie Sleeping Beauty and has grossed more than $630 million worldwide since its May 30 release. The granddaddy of them all is the Johnny Depp version of Alice in Wonderland, which has earned more than $1 billion. Among the projects in the pipeline, Disney has a live-action take on Cinderella opening March 13, is in preproduction on The Jungle Book that Jon Favreau is directing and just put Bill Condon on a live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. The Transformers movies have occupied Kruger’s life for the past several years. He has sole writing credit on the current Age of Extinction and co-wrote 2011’s Dark of the Moon and 2009’s Revenge of the Fallen with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. He also is known for his twisty thrillers such as Arlington Road, Skeleton Key and The Ring.
General bs thread and also continuation of the Louis football thread. They are all in their 20's now, they must be growing tired of this schtick... how long until the collapse begins?
It's from those MichFest threads and you queens who're posting them and going over to the MichFest forums to taunt them!!! I've never been particularly drawn to those threads but began reading the latest one while dozing off last night. Apparently the hyper sensitive, anti-male, "AIDS queer" trend we've been seeing around here for a while is NOT happening at the hands of one rogue frau or baby dyke.... They're being summoned here by whatever queen/queens keep posting that MichFest shit. Apparently a certain contingent of DLers has been posting here, and trolling the chat groups of the dyke festival. Ironically I'm guessing we have gay men to think for the unrecognizable destruction of DL by these angry women.
OMG! When does this shit end anyways??? I'm tired of those stupid cartoons being on Google everyday.
FX does it again! The premiere tonight was killer.
Yes we all know that Julie played Eliza in My Fair Lady on Broadway. And then was denied the chance to recreate her role in the film, which was played by Audrey Hepburn (with vocals dubbed by Marni Nixon).\ \ Then Julie got her revenge, so to speak, when she played Mary Poppins and won the Oscar. And Audrey wasn''t even nominated. Rex Harrison won the Oscar for My Fair Lady and in his acceptance speech thanked BOTH his Fair Ladies.\ \ But in watching both My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins, in your opinion who gave the performance, Audrey Hepburn for My Fair Lady or Julie Andrews for Mary Poppins?\ \ Choose between these two actresses only. Discuss.

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

Police in Washington state are searching for a teen who mysteriously disappeared after leaving a cryptic message in her journal. Angelic Tracy "Anji" Dean, 17, of Camas, a city roughly 25 miles northeast of Portland, Oregon, wrote, "If you're reading this, I'm either missing or dead" in her journal, and has not been seen since, according to KWG.com Dean's parents reportedly found her wallet, bank card and glasses in their house when she vanished on June 23. The journal entry, according to her parents, was not discovered until after she disappeared. A cryptic text message was also reportedly sent to Dean's boyfriend's cellphone from her number on the day she disappeared. The message read, in part: "They were going to kill you and my family." Police have not said if there are any indications that Dean has been abducted, but family spokeswoman Michelle Bart told Camaspostrecord.com that the family believes Dean "has been trafficked, or is in a position of that nature." Dean's mother, Lynda Jorgensen, told KGW on Monday her daughter had recently made bizarre statements to teachers and counselors that she was mixed up in something she could not get out of. Just exactly what that something was remains unclear. "We have no idea where she is or who she's with," Jorgensen said. Neither Bart, Jorgensen or the Clark County Sheriff's Department returned calls for comment from HuffPost on Tuesday. Dean is described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 135-145 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and pierced ears. She was last seen wearing black tights with mid-calf legs, white Nike shoes with light green soles and a white tank top. She might also have a white backpack with her. Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact the sheriff's office at (360) 397.2028. The family has also created the "Help Find Anji" Facebook page to share information about the case.
[italic]The March 2012 incidents included Craig and Jeter driving the victim to the desert and forcing him to dig his own grave. They then made him get in and threw dirt on him.

For 20 fucking years or so I have tried to like Cameron Crowe's Say Anything. Let me just finally come out and say I HATE this fucking movie. It is relentlessly overrated, boring as SHIT, not remotely incisive, charming, or funny as people would have you believe.. I did my once a year, Let me try to love Say Anything this morning. Put it on(On Demand Comcast) and within an hour I was like I give up. I absolutely hate this film. Anybody else? I used to love Almost Famous, but that hasn't aged well at all.

I'm 70 years old, on disability, and my house is about to be condemned. I have no savings and have not been employed for decades. My sister has money and a big house with 6 extra bedrooms. There's plenty of room for me, my cats, and my unemployed roommate who is also on disability. I've always expected my sister to take care of me in my old age, but she's suggesting I look for senior housing. I don't know how to find government housing. I've prayed about it, but God keeps telling me to live with my sister. What should I do? Also, I love gyros and Chikfila and I'm afraid they won't be served in a senior living facility. Shouldn't my sister take care of me and share her spacious home and money?

The UK has gone nuts over this track. She said she's obsessed with the 90s, and music critics say that it captures the very essence of the house music of that decade. I like it. Funny that the video is so 80s. Looks like a rip-off of Janet Jackson's dance moves in "When I Think of You". She did it with a broken rib. She's a trained ballerina. I heard her speak in an interview - you would never believe that she could sing like this.

I was watching Monty Python’s The Life of Brian from 1979 recently, a hilarious rewriting of the life and death of Christ, and I realized how outrageous most of the jokes from the film would seem today. In fact, the film, with its religious satire and scenes of Christ and the thieves singing on the cross, would never make it into cinemas now. The Life of Brian was certainly received as controversial in its own day but when censors tried to repress the film in several different countries, The Monty Python crew used their florid sense of humor to their advantage. So, when the film was banned in a few places, they gave it a tagline of: “So funny it was banned in Norway!” Humor, in fact, in general, depends upon the unexpected (“No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!”); repetition to the point of hilarity “you can have eggs, bacon and spam; spam, eggs, spam and sausage; or spam, spam, spam and spam!”); silliness, non-sequitors, caricature and an anarchic blend of the serious and the satirical. And, humor is something that feminists in particular, but radical politics in general, are accused of lacking. Recent controversies within queer communities around language, slang, satirical or ironic representation and perceptions of harm or offensive have created much controversy with very little humor recently, leading to demands for bans, censorship and name changes. Debates among people who share utopian goals, in fact, are nothing new. I remember coming out in the 1970s and 1980s into a world of cultural feminism and lesbian separatism. Hardly an event would go by back then without someone feeling violated, hurt, traumatized by someone’s poorly phrased question, another person’s bad word choice or even just the hint of perfume in the room. People with various kinds of fatigue, easily activated allergies, poorly managed trauma were constantly holding up proceedings to shout in loud voices about how bad they felt because someone had said, smoked, or sprayed something near them that had fouled up their breathing room. Others made adjustments, curbed their use of deodorant, tried to avoid patriarchal language, thought before they spoke, held each other, cried, moped, and ultimately disintegrated into a messy, unappealing morass of weepy, hypo-allergic, psychosomatic, anti-sex, anti-fun, anti-porn, pro-drama, pro-processing post-political subjects. Political times change and as the 1980s gave way to the 1990s, as weepy white lady feminism gave way to reveal a multi-racial, poststructuralist, intersectional feminism of much longer provenance, people began to laugh, loosened up, people got over themselves and began to talk and recognize that the enemy was not among us but embedded within new, rapacious economic systems. Needless to say, for women of color feminisms, the stakes have always been higher and identity politics always have played out differently. But, in the 1990s, books on neoliberalism, postmodernism, gender performativity and racial capital turned the focus away from the wounded self and we found our enemies and, as we spoke out and observed that neoliberal forms of capitalism were covering over economic exploitation with language of freedom and liberation, it seemed as if we had given up wounded selves for new formulations of multitudes, collectivities, collaborations, and projects less centered upon individuals and their woes. Of course, I am flattening out all kinds of historical and cultural variations within multiple histories of feminism, queerness and social movements. But I am willing to do so in order to make a point here about the re-emergence of a rhetoric of harm and trauma that casts all social difference in terms of hurt feelings and that divides up politically allied subjects into hierarchies of woundedness.

The bf and I just came back from a 12 day European vacation. Saw Madonna's concert in Hyde Park and Stade de France. It was a lot of fun. Anyway, this time, we fell in love with London. We went to Harrod's and also took in the gay district (GAY, etc.). Met a Harrod's retail queen. What is with $$ in London? Seriously, living in SoBe, I see a Bentley, or two, but I've never seen so much REAL $ as in London. Is it real? Or is everyone hawked to bankruptcy? Harrod's was amazing. The lessons American retailers could learn. Simply amazing. And delicious. The "supermarket" makes the best Whole Foods look like a Food Lion. We met a retail queen at a club in London. According to him, due to Arabs and Chinese, London will always be uber expensive. What gives?

I grew up in England, but my parents were American and much of my childhood in the '70s seemed to be spent at coffee shops in American hotels in London. & I sort of liked them. There were far fewer burger joints and cafés in London then-so there was less choice if you wanted a late burger type lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I also remember hotel coffee shops in America in many of the hotels we stayed at. But for some reason I think they seem to have disappeared from most hotels. Am I correct? Why?

"To the average person, the result looks stupid and smells worse."

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

Legendary swimmer Ian Thorpe to address sexuality in Parkinson interview 6th July 2014, 1:28 PM, Nick Duffy Ian Thorpe will address his sexuality next week Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe will address his sexuality in an interview with Michael Parkinson next week. The five-time Olympic gold medalist, 31, has faced rumours about his sexuality for years, which he has always denied. He previously spoke about the rumours in 2012, saying: “I accept there’s nothing else I can say or do. There’ll always be people who are sceptical; people who want me to be gay, and others who’ll try and use it against me.” He is set to open up about his experience in an interview with veteran broadcaster Michael Parkinson next Sunday. In a brief preview clip, Parkinson asks him: “You’ve always said that you’re not gay… is all of that true?” During his career, Thorpe has won nine Olympic medals – five gold, three silver, one bronze – in addition to 11 World Championship titles, and 10 Commonwealth Games gold medals. Parkinson said: “Ian Thorpe has always been near the top of my list to interview. The reasons are obvious. Not many athletes can claim to be the best of all time. Ian can. “The story of a boy who was a teenage World Champion, conquered the world and then seemed to give it all away is a fascinating and intriguing one. “His fight against depression offers a unique insight into the darker side of celebrity and success. “What fascinates me most about Ian is that apart from the very beginning of his career, he never seemed to enjoy and celebrate his success. It will be interesting to find out the reasons why.” ‘Ian Thorpe: The Parkinson Interview’ will air in Australia next Sunday, July 13 at 6:30pm on TEN.

Starts this week... Who else is excited to see Mike Vogel's hot ass?
I’m sure this story will ruffle the feathers of many Winona-stans, but I think this is good news for Winona Ryder. Her career comeback is going well, she spent a few years doing smaller parts in smaller movies, getting some critical acclaim again, getting photographed more often and coming out in public more often. So it’s good news when the tabloids start discussing her as a scandalous and/or bizarre person. Winona’s always been a little strange, and now a new generation of tabloid readers get to enjoy it. For the young’uns, let me tell you: Winona Ryder used to be like Kristen Stewart, Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lawrence all rolled into one. Winona was HUGE. She dated her costars, she was a child actor who transitioned to adult roles beautifully, she won awards and praise, she was BFFs with some of the biggest celebrities out there and there were plenty of scandals and drama. Ah, the halcyon days of the 1990s. So this Enquirer story references some of those older scandals. Like, Johnny Depp and Winona were crazy about each other way back when (before Kate Moss, even), and Winona used to be BFFs with Gwyneth Paltrow. So, enjoy: Winona Ryder is getting weirder by the day, becoming a virtual recluse and taking potshots at her former friends. Insiders say she’s dyed her hair bright white and become obsessed with online shopping, filling her closets with unworn clothes that still have their tags. And just about the only time she leaves her home is when her cleaning staff arrives, because she can’t stand talking to them. Winona has also been trash-talking her ex-BFF Gwyneth Paltrow and former flame Johnny Depp, a source tells The ENQUIRER. “She’s alienating so many people it’s no wonder she’s turning into a hermit,” said a longtime friend of the 41-year-old actress. Winona has a “major grudge” against Gwyneth because she believes the blonde-haired beauty made unflattering comments about her in an online lifestyle blog four years ago. And Winona also never got over Gwyneth beating her out for a plum role in the 1998 hit movie “Shakespeare in Love” – and winning an Oscar for it! “Those comments were a huge embarrassment for her,” the pal said. The friend says Winona has also been blasting Depp, 50, for hooking up with 27- year Amber Heard not long after splitting with his longtime love, Vanessa Paradis, 40, last year. “Johnny couldn’t care less,” said the friend, “but she’s really ragging on him for being so predictable and going for a blonde in her twenties.” As The ENQUIRER reported in April, Winona had a fleeting hope she and “The Lone Ranger” star would reunite. “It’s really sad she’s become so vindictive,” the friend continued. “She rarely leaves the house because she hates being around people so much. And she makes sure her housekeepers don’t speak English because that way they are less likely to know who she is. “When she was younger, her eccentricities were perceived as cute and quirky, but now she’s just bizarre.” [From The Enquirer] I think the Gwyneth reference is about an old Goop post from a few years ago where Gwyneth talked about “how to break up with a friend”. And the Hollywood rumor back in 1997 was that Gwyneth outright STOLE Winona’s script for Shakespeare In Love and Goop went behind Winona’s back and got the part. And they were never friends after that. As for the Depp stuff… I’m not sure I believe Wino and Johnny still talk. She might talk smack about him (as she should, because he’s absurd), but I doubt Johnny even hears about it. Oh, and remember how Matt Damon dumped Minnie Driver (while appearing on Oprah!!!) and then he started up with Winona two seconds later? I wish people still brought that up, because that was an amazing scandal. God, I miss Winona’s scandals. I want her to start dating someone really controversial. Not Charlie Sheen! I want her to throw it down old-school, like Winona could steal Garrett Hedlund away from Kirsten Dunst. That would be fun.
Why is he such an obnoxious smart ass? Is it because he looks like the mongoloid from "Deliverance"?
Some stupid fuck with more money than common sense was caught on camera sleeping at a Yankees Red Sox game. He is now suing the Yanks, ESPN and MLB for $10 million saying the remarks by the announcers have caused him harm. Two problems: 1 - no one would know his name or who he is had he not brought the lawsuit. 2 - none of the things he is claiming the announcers said were actually said.

My credit is "very poor" at 550. I need at least a 640 to qualify for an FHA mortgage loan. At 45, I'm so tired of living with a roommate and I want to find a simple condo. I finally landed a good job after 2 years of unemployment, during which my good credit tanked. I have $5,000 of cc debt in collections, but some online advice says think twice before paying collection debt off. What to do? Also, I would appreciate hearing your stories of how you were able to rehabilitate your own credit.
It's not total dreck, and does have some poignant moments. But mostly it's just 'off'- like the director had a really high fever throughout the shoot.

So, I'm about to jump back into the job market, and I need some suggestions. I've generally had good skin all my life, and am careful to wash it (with a gentle scrub). But I noticed a few small bumps on one side - I think these are the sebacious bumps people are talking about. I've also noticed gray specks in my goatee. What should I do, and what can I do without pouring a bunch of toxic chemicals on my skin and hair?

Another great morning with smart witty reporting.
Sherri Shepherd does not want anything to do with her unborn surrogate baby ... because she believes her estranged husband defrauded her into having the kid in the first place so he could get child support ... this according to multiple sources connected with the couple. TMZ broke the story ... Sherri and her husband Lamar Sally each separately filed legal docs to end their marriage. The big complication -- a baby will be born this month to a surrogate who signed a contract with Sherri and Lamar. Now our sources say ... the baby was conceived with Lamar's sperm, but NOT Sherri's egg. Now here's where it gets tricky. We're told Sherri does not want custody or even to be considered a parent ... because she doesn't want to get stuck with massive child support payments. Sherri wants a judge to rule she has no parental rights or responsibilities -- which would shut the door to child support. She claims Lamar defrauded her -- that he got her to sign on for a surrogate birth knowing full well he would divorce her and then nail her to the wall for child support. Our Lamar sources say Sherri tried to get pregnant in vitro and when it didn't work she got deeply involved in the surrogacy process. Another twist ... Sherri has filed for divorce in New Jersey and Lamar has filed in California. This is not a coincidence. We did some digging, and found New Jersey courts generally do NOT recognize surrogacy agreements, which means Lamar would probably be shut down. Not so in Cali.
Sherri Shepherd says she won't pay child support for baby born via surrogate since it's not hers
I want to do unspeakable things to him, specifically to his butt. He is just so handsome. And he''s so masculine, it''s hard to believe the rumors that he''s gay. So, you know, does he like to play hide the salami? Surely I can''t be the only one who finds him hot. What was SVU thinking killing him off, unless it was his decision to leave.
Who was the best? Is Hickey upset he didn't get to repeat his Tony role? He said online he'd be in the film in another part. (What happened?) Is there cat fighting!!!!!!?
Jesus, that show was a piece of shit. How on earth did it stay on the air for all those years?
What was her Hollywood story? Any gossip? Yes, I know about her tragic death and the rumor about her husband, Robert Wagner, being in bed with a certain actor with the first name Christopher, thus causing her to throw herself off of the boat and leading to her death. I think that things were probably much different. I think she would have been surprised if R.W. WEREN'T in bed with Christopher. Anyway, Natalie should have won an Oscar. As has been discussed here, most Oscars are given as overall career achievements of as make-ups for past losses. Natalie fit both categories. God, I would have loved to have known her. She was gorgeous.Her eyes spoke volumes.

Apologies ahead of time for the NYC centric thread, but didn't know where else to take this rant. Ok, for those of you who don't know, the Fireworks in NYC for the last five or so years have been held on the Hudson River which is on the west side of Manhattan. It worked out perfectly for me because I live in Chelsea and I could go to my roof and watch them. But it didn't work out for most since the bulk of NYC, which includes Brooklyn and Queens is on the East side. People were upset that NJ and the west of Manhattan were getting the best views. I could understand their complaint, to be honest. So our Mayor, DeBlasio decided to move them back to the East River this year. In the past on the East River they were between 59th and 34th St. I believe. This year they were held way down at the South St. Seaport which is at the tip of Manhattan. This area is populated by about 1% of the population of Manhattan, BUT directly faces Brooklyn - where our Mayor is from. So DeBlasio moved the fireworks from one small NYC viewing area to an even smaller one with the excuse of being more fair. If you're in the Bronx, well you're always screwed. But at least in the past Manhattan, Queens and upper part of Brooklyn got to enjoy the show. This year it was mainly a show for Brooklyn alone. What's with that? Yes, I am stamping my feet because it is no longer easy for me to see the fireworks by casually walking up to my roof.

I always wondered.
Another Republican scandal has been blown to tiny bits as Hillary Clinton has confirmed that all of her speaking fees from universities are donated to charity. Former Sec. Clinton told ABC News that her speaking fees from universities get donated to the Clinton Foundation, “All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work. So it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation.” The last point the Mrs. Clinton made was an important one. She is not accepting money from a university’s general fund, which comes from student tuitions. University foundations are funded by donations from alumni and others. The whole idea that Republicans have been pushing is that Hillary Clinton was accepting six-figure speaking fees while students are being crushed under rising tuition costs and student loan debt. Republicans are trying to stop Hillary Clinton by taking a page out President Obama’s book. Just as the president did to Mitt Romney in 2012, Republicans are trying to label Clinton wealthy and out of touch. The hypocrisy of this position is mind boggling as it has been the Republican Party that has refused to raise taxes on the wealthy, create jobs, extend unemployment benefits, and offered a platform that can best be described as protecting the rich while screwing the rest. In other words, it is impossible to take their claims that Hillary Clinton doesn’t care about regular folks seriously. It is a valid question to debate whether or not any university should be dishing out six-figure speaking fees to anyone. There are probably better ways to spend their money, but that question has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. If students don’t want the university to spend the money on big dollar speakers, it is something that they need to take up with university itself. What Hillary Clinton is doing is much more transparent than how Republicans collect their speaking fees. Top Republicans have for years insisted that they be paid for their appearances in book purchases. Before he ran for president in 2012, Mitt Romney declined speaking fees, but insisted that institutions buy thousands of copies of his book. Romney was just one example of how Republicans push books that nobody seems to read to the top of the bestseller list. If a university decides that it just has to spend big bucks to lure a national speaker to campus, it is better that the fee goes to charity instead of getting wasted on thousands of copies of a book that nobody wants. This is another attempted Republican scandal that is going to nowhere, but it says a lot about the Republican Party that they are trying so hard to damage Hillary Clinton before the 2016 process has begun. America remains ready for Hillary, and this fact is terrifying Republicans to death.
Republican Scandal Dies As Hillary Clinton Reveals University Speaking Fees Donated to Charity
I'm not a slave to fashion, but I do like to look decent. I tend to do most of my clothes shopping at independent men's stores, and the nicer chains like J. Crew. In the last year or two, it's been more difficult to find stylish pants that are not of a slim/narrow fit. I do like the way they look on me, but I find it nearly impossible to hide my bulging junk. My cock is average size, but I have a set of great big nuts ... and particularly when I'm sitting, there's just a big genital pouch in my crotch. I get a little self-conscious about this, particularly in professional situations. But I'm not going to switch over to, you know, dad-sized Dockers or something. I guess I just have to accept that from time to time, people are going to get a pretty good idea of my goods?
God, I hope so. I''ve always had a male stripper "thing." Something about a hot guy stripping fully nude for a group of other guys in public-guys who are getting all sweaty and breathing shallow and getting obvious hard-ons-makes my precum drip!!!\ \ I see in other countries-particularly in South America and Europe, that fully nude male strippers WITH BONERS (!!) is a common sight.\ \ I love my internet porn and relationships are great but sometimes I just want to see a hot body IN THE FLESH gyrating just for me with no strings attached. Is that so wrong? Give me strip clubs across America with boners!!
There, I said it.

Jerry Sandusky's adopted son who has said he was also abused by the convicted pedophile is breaking his silence. Matt Sandusky, whose allegations never resulted in charges, has revealed details about his alleged abuse to Oprah, and the interview is scheduled to air next week, her network announced today. The television interview, which will air on OWN at 9 p.m. on July 17, will be his first since his adoptive father was convicted in June 2012. Former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is serving out a 30- to 60-year prison sentence for molesting 10 boys. Matt Sandusky gave a statement to local police officials while Jerry Sandusky was on trial, saying that Jerry had started abusing him when he was about 10 years old. While criminal charges were never filed, Matt Sandusky was one of 26 victims awarded a financial settlement from Penn State. He shares a deeply personal account of the grooming, methodical control and manipulation he faced as a child and responds to the accusations his adoptive mother, Dottie Sandusky, made on national television accusing him of lying and stealing from the family.

Beyonce’s self-titled surprise release, which hit iTunes exclusively on Thursday evening (9 p.m. PT), has now sold over 430,000 units in just over one day, guaranteeing it the top slot on the Billboard 200 once that chart’s top 10 is revealed mid-week. As reported yesterday, “Beyonce” shifted slightly over 80,000 in the three hours from 9 p.m. PT to midnight on Thursday evening, putting her Friday sales at roughly 350,000. With two more days left in the sales tracking week, the title could sell over 600,000 before the buzzer sounds. The iTunes exclusive “visual” album, retailing for $15.99 contains 14 tracks- not available for a la carte purchases until Dec. 20- and 14 accompanying videos, along with other bonus video content. No set date has been announced for the CD release to physical retailers or of its availability on other digital download sites. At 430,000, “Beyonce” is already set to become the biggest debuting album by a female artist since Taylor Swift sold an astounding 1.2 million copies of “Red” in the week corresponding to Billboard 200 chart dated Nov 10, 2012. And if predictions in the 600,000 range hold, the set would grant Beyonce the best debut week- and best sales week period- of her career. Her 2006 album “B’day” started with 541,000 in September 2006.
I pretty much use my computer as a DVR and have for years, downloading and watching mostly primetime shows I miss while I'm working. Recently, in the past two months, I've gotten three Copyright Infringement Notices from Comcast via email. Is this happening to anyone else? Do I really need to worry about this or take any action? I did notice they were all from HBO shows (which, to be fair, I don't subscribe to).

Met a guy on Grindr last night. (Should I post pic?) Anyway, he came over and had some ecstasy. Never tried it but he had me put it in my south mouth lol Holy fuck that's some good shit. We watched Enter the Void a bit on Netflix and i could t control myself. His cock was in my mouth within minutes. I felt so physically connected with him. He shot up some coke and I passed out. He woke me up and had made breakfast so that was cool. I asked him if I could buy some ecstasy from him but he said he'd just bring some more tonight. It's not too bad right? We're not talking meth right?
I'm eating in tonight.
Has anyone here seen their parents go through one? Mine have been married over thirty-five years and are both in their sixties. I am getting the sense that with my mother's growing neediness and my father's growing cantankerousness it might finally be too much for either of them to bear. There's no third party. It all seems to be the accumulation of bad habits and co-dependencies over decades taking their toll. My mother has taken to calling me once or twice weekly in absolute bits over the latest perceived slight, while my father has only once in thirty years ever discussed with me any issue in his relationship with my mother, so I'm not sure where his head is at, though I have no doubt that he is being unpleasant and nastily quotable. He's not the mid-life crisis type, though. I think he just wants to be left alone with a book, or to go on a quiet hike in the woods. I wish my mother would just focus on her booming business and social life. They are both accomplished, beloved, very attractive, have money, and have no children in jail - everything you'd hope for at that age.

I'm not a great fan of fiction. I wish I was, because when, on the rare occasion I find a novel I really like, it gives me great pleasure. If I see there's an interview with a high profile fiction writer on TV, I try to watch, but usually find them completely boring and it reinforces my feelings that I have no desire to experience their imaginations by reading their books. But it would interest me to hear from people who love fiction to respond to the title of this thread. (Let's throw dead writers into the mix, as well).
If they ever end this series, do you think it will be a satisfying ending? How do you think they will wrap everything up?

I've been having this nagging feeling that I should go back to school. I have always had the feeling in the back of my head that I would do well in law school, and many members of my family have wondered in the past why I never went. The problem is that I am 35 years old and I already have debt from getting a MFA that I probably will never use. Boy, was that a mistake. I feel like I am going to be stuck doing administrative work and will never be able to advance without having a more professional degree. Having the additional debt doesn't necessarily bother me - I can just pay it off at the lowest monthly payment possible. The hours and work don't really bother me either. Am I too old, though? That is my big question.

Great show, check it out DL! It's about a non-conventional high school teacher ad her family. I know, I know…but really it's not what you think and it's great to see a non-American point of view. She even has a gay teenage son and they don't shy away from him, dating, kissing and having sex…so refreshing. The added bonus is everyone is HOT! Especially the oldest son and Rita is sexy as well. I hear that there's an American remake being made with Anna Gunn in the lead (she plays Skyler on Breaking Bad). As much as I love Anna Gunn, I don't think an American studio will do it justice, even on cable.

I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who uses it or from any medical people. Did it make you very sleepy or dizzy? Any allergic reactions to the Zyrtec itself? Any heart racing or irregular heartbeat type of reactions or anything cardiac related at all? Anything bad at all or any dose related problems. My doc wrote for prescription Zyrtec so it might be a stronger than OTC dose. I haven't filled it yet so I don't know and he called it in so I have no prescription to look at. Lastly, does it help with allergies like stuffed sinuses, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, etc. or is it not worth any potential side effects? I looked up all the side effects but I hope I can hear from those who have actually taken it if many of those side effects are common. Thanks!

From the New York Post: Anderson Cooper and his partner, Benjamin Maisani, will be relaxing in historic splendor in Connecticut’s affluent Litchfield County this summer. Multiple sources tell us the CNN anchor has splashed out on a massive, 10,127-square-foot Tudor revival stone mansion, called Rye House, for the mid-to-high seven figures. The tony estate — sold by Karen Shaw, a former Miss Connecticut who starred on “Dallas” and “The A Team,” and her husband, Marc — was built in 1908 and designed by Wilson Eyre, a founder of House & Garden magazine. The home includes an Olympic-sized swimming pool and tennis court, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Its 18 rooms feature original chestnut wood paneling, limestone fireplaces and a hand-carved marble staircase. There’s also a private four-bedroom guest wing. The 280-acre grounds boast Japanese pagoda trees, wisteria, magnolias, a walkway with stone pillars and a grape arbor. The Shaws, who bought the house 15 years ago and lovingly restored it, have been renting it out for $1,800 per night, sources said. Depending on which local you ask, Cooper bought the property in leafy Litchfield for anywhere between $5 million and $9 million. The anchor will be in good company: The Litchfield area has been home to Meryl Streep, “The Normal Heart” playwright Larry Kramer, Henry Kissinger, NBC Sports vet Dick Ebersol and Susan Saint James, and HBO documentary doyenne Sheila Nevins. Anderson and Maisani already own another unusual property, an 8,240-square-foot Greenwich Village firehouse they bought in 2010 for $4.3 million. In April, Cooper also listed one of two waterfront properties in Quogue for $2.99 million. In November, Cooper, who makes around $11 million a year at CNN, signed a contract extension through the 2016 presidential election. Despite being the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, Cooper recently told Howard Stern, “My mom’s made clear to me that there’s no trust fund.” Reps for Cooper did not return calls. Pics of the huge home at link.

One Million Moms won't be happy about this! "Children of same-sex couples experience higher levels of general health and family cohesion than those from traditional families, a study shows. But the researchers warn that the stigma associated with their parents' sexual orientation is an ongoing challenge for these children. Researchers from the University of Melbourne surveyed 315 same-sex parents with a total of 500 children. About 80% of the children have female parents, while 18% have male parents. The children raised by same-sex partners scored an average of 6% higher than the general population on measures of general health and family cohesion. They were equivalent to those from the general population on measures of temperament and mood, behaviour, mental health and self-esteem. The lead researcher, Simon Crouch, said same-sex couples are more likely to share childcare and work responsibilities more equitably than heterosexual parent families, based more on skills rather than gender roles. "This appears to be contributing to a more harmonious household and having a positive impact on child health," he said. But about two-thirds of these children experience some form of stigma due to their parents' sexual orientation, Crouch said. "What we have found is that the more stigma these families experience the greater the impact on the social and emotional wellbeing of children." The most recent census counted 6,300 children living in same-sex-couple families."
Children of same-sex couples healthier, says Australian study.

In 2006 he was is angry that the city is doling out $1.5 million in taxpayer cash to help prevent the disease, arguing most people don’t have to worry about acquiring the ailment unless they’re gay or intravenous drug users. “It is very preventable,” he spouted in his typically bombastic fashion. “If you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you wouldn’t get AIDS probably, that’s bottom line.” “These are the facts,” he added when asked if he backed his earlier comments. “How are women getting it? Maybe they are sleeping with bi-sexual men,” he responded.
When we were in school together he was a real sweetheart, very cute and a genuinely nice guy. He liked to drink beer and hangout with his garage band buddies. He was an ok student, but I thought he should be grateful that his father owned a construction company, because otherwise he'd never get work when he graduated. I quietly broke off our friendship when he one day casually mentioned that he had gone out "fag bashing" the previous Friday night with his friends. I hadn't thought about him in years, but after digging around this afternoon found out that not only did he graduate, but he went to law school and opened a law office in the same city we grew up in, and handles corporate legal affairs for the city as well as some larger companies. I have to say I'm surprised that burn-out managed to achieve such success. But I wonder if he still likes to go out "fag bashing"?

According to Popnography, Robert Downey Jr. tells Rolling Stone magazine that his rumored bisexuality was something he manufactured: "A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual. That's OK. Being relaxed about sexuality is something you're born with...[My bisexuality] was manufactured. I didn't have an identity. I was playing around. I expressed it. I grew up in the Rocky Horror Picture Show world, where even my butch friends turned out to be androgynous on Saturday nights."
Writing on his personal blog in response to the high court's recent 5-4 decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, U.S. District Judge Richard George Kopf harshly criticized the justices for taking what he sees as a too active role in controversial cases.

Bush appointee, wrote. "As the kids says, it is time for the Court to stfu."

So she says in an email "interview" with the Hollywood Reporter: [quote]It'd be so much fun to shake it up taking on issues that make audiences objectively consider all sides, and I'd do it with my own real-life groundedness, candor and commonsense that I'm known for. Media needs that today, versus the condescension that oozes from TV and radio. I hear everyone recently got canned from The View, maybe a show like that needs a punch of reality and a voice of reason from America's heartland to knock some humble sense into their scripts. You know, someone willing to go rogue.

A Russian Orthodox Priest has claimed that the World Cup is an abomination because players wear brightly-coloured shoes. Writing in his column on Russian People’s Line, Priest Alexander Shumsky claimed that players are promoting a “gay rainbow” by wearing green, pink, yellow and blue shoes. He said: “Wearing pink or blue shoes, [the players] might as well wear women’s panties or a bra. “The liberal ideology of globalism clearly wants to oppose Christianity with football. I’m sure of it. “Therefore I am glad that the Russian players have failed and, by the grace of God, no longer participate in this homosexual abomination.” Russia exited the competition in the group stages, failing to win any of their three matches. The priest also criticized the “unthinkable” hairstyles of some of the players in the tournament.

And how does "character" develop in a person? Or is there all along? I have two friends. Both were raised in foster care and orphanages. There was mental and physical abuse involved. They are the same age, from the same place, and were in the same "system" at about the same time. One friend went on to be a humanitarian and successful businessman. The other friend is lost to drugs and homelessness in his adult life. Both of these men are extremely smart and creative. So what happened?

There's a slew of boring singers out there, old and young, whose appeal seems to be based on dull, vague qualities or inoffensive prettiness and a bland style. They always sound the same, usually with some tell-tale signature warble or tone. They lack passion but can seem to imitate it. They're BORING. What can explain the careers of Sheryl Crowe, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Taylor Swift, Michael Buble? Beyonce is so dull that if she weren't creating a draft by snapping her hair and twat around to startle you you'd fall asleep. Charlotte Church. For Christ's sake. It's not just being middle-of-the-road. Plenty of pop can be easy but still manage to be intelligent and committed.

So-called “coal rollers” install smoke stacks and special equipment in their diesel trucks that makes the engine think that it needs more fuel, resulting in plumes of black smoke. According to Slate’s Dave Weigel, the phenomenon is not new, but it is becoming more popular among conservatives who want to protest the president and his efforts to clean up the environment. “I run into a lot of people that really don’t like Obama at all,” a smoke stack seller in Wisconsin told Weigel. “If he’s into the environment, if he’s into this or that, we’re not. I hear a lot of that.” “To get a single stack on my truck—that’s my way of giving them the finger,” he added. “You want clean air and a tiny carbon footprint? Well, screw you.” In June, Vocativ reported on the trend of “coal rollers” using their toxic exhaust as revenge against “nature nuffies” who drive environmentally friendly cars, like the Toyota Prius. “The feeling around here is that everyone who drives a small car is a liberal,” a South Carolina truck owner named Ryan explained. “I rolled coal on a Prius once just because they were tailing me.” “It’s bad for the environment. That’s definitely true,” he admitted. “And some of the kids that have diesel trucks can look like tools. And you can cause a wreck, but everything else about it is pretty good.” The Clean Air Task Force estimates that pollutants from diesel vehicles “lead to 21,000 premature deaths each year and create a cancer risk that is seven times greater than the combined risk of all 181 other air toxics tracked by the EPA.” Watch the video below of a 2013 coal rollin’ rally in Wisconsin.

It's been pushed back to June 12th due to "breaking developments". I've always liked her inside Hollywood reporting, but she seems to be over and simply not aware of it. I'm guessing Deadline's owner is trying to work something out with her, or maybe her lawyers have convinced her she is in fact in violation of her non-compete. Anybody else here follow her on Twitter?

Where do you draw the line in helping a family member who has never done anything to help themself? Basic details: a senior citizen (almost 70), nearly broke and their house is about to be condemned. Say it was your sibling though you hadn't been very close since childhood. Would you let them move in with you, knowing you'd basically become their 24-hour caretaker and you and your partner's retirement would be completely altered. Or would you let the sibling essentially go homeless and figure things out on their own?

After a dust-up with Lea Michele last season, Naya walked and producers were resigned to letting her go. But apparently FOX wasn't having it and insisted that Santana be a part of the final season. Ratings are hideous and FOX isn't willing to let one of the show's few draws walk. Naya doesn't want to return though. Rumor is Lea talked a lot of shit and had a hand in Naya splitting from her fiancé. Instead Lea agreed to $75k an episode as a recurring guest star, a pay increase actually. This is where I get confused. Why not just sign a contract? She's going to essentially be in the same number of episodes, and if they're going to pay her more as a "recurring guest star" then they surely would have done the same with a contract right? Or does a contract extension prohibit pay raises? What's the benefit to her to her here? There must be some strategy on her part? Apparently there's no beef with Murphy and he always wanted her back. Is it just a principle thing?

Known as "the voice of the name bands," as she served as vocalist for the big bands of Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, and Harry James. I had no idea her childhood was so hellish. Her father died when she was a baby and her mother remarried and ran a whore house with her new husband. After the stepfather tried to rape Helen when she was a teen (and she stabbed him trying to defend herself), she went to live with her piano teacher. She moved to New York at 17 to begin her singing career.
This was the first "raunchy" movie I saw - it was one tv when I was eight. My sister and I were titillated by the swearing. Just watched it again 30 years later and it's so sweet and innocent! Random thoughts: - have never heard the expression "shit fit" used before or since. - The guy who played Spaz was actually cute. Was this the first movie to denote a nerd by tape on his glasses? - it's cool that Bill Murray's girlfriend is quite butch and actually looks like someone who would work at a camp. - Chris Makepeace was a really photogenic and talented kid. Why did his career peter out?
Is anyone surprised? [quote]Crouch and his team surveyed 315 same-sex parents with a total of 500 children across Australia. About 80 percent of the kids had female parents and about 18 percent had male parents, the study states. [quote]Children from same-sex families scored about 6 percent higher on general health and family cohesion, even when controlling for socio-demographic factors such as parents’ education and household income, Crouch wrote. However, on most health measures, including emotional behavior and physical functioning, there was no difference compared with children from the general population. [quote]Crouch suggested the greater social cohesion among same-sex families comes from an equal distribution of work. He said same-sex couples are likely to share responsibilities more equally than heterosexual ones.

Maybe this is what the girlfriends are for. He expects them to look great. And to just…look? A few weeks ago at a Hollywood bar, playboy was partying without his bonafide. He had two of his crew with him. He’d been drinking. Or something. He seemed very …accessible and uninhibited. Once he found his target, he made his approach, with his friends as backup. After spending some time flirting with the dude, a very cute, young gay dude, he made a special request: He asked him if he would be into a three-way situation, but the third participant would be a woman. The woman would be watching as the two of them got down. In his line of work, it’s all about variety. After so many years of anything at any time, he needs as many flavours as possible.

There’s been a lot of outrage over the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case, stating that a corporation can exercise their religious beliefs and block access to contraception for their employees, but the Supreme Court took their ruling a step further today in a 5-4 ruling, that a corporation can force their employees to attend religious services at any denomination the corporation chooses. Justice Samuel Alito penned the majority opinion in the case, and in it he wrote: If a corporation is going to pay money to their employees they have a right to know that the money they’re paying is spent on moral things, and the only way to ensure their employees’ morality is to force them to attend religious services. A corporation’s deeply held religious beliefs should be imposed on all employees, because corporations are people and we need to keep those people happy. Unless a corporation is Muslim, in which case they have no religious freedoms. In Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s scathing dissent she wrote: What’s next? Forcing people to buy those little Jesus bobble heads you put in your car? The conservatives in this court have lost their fucking minds. If you could generate energy from people spinning in their graves the Founding Fathers could power this country through the next millennium right now. Seriously, what the hell is happening to this country? There’s no hope as long as we have justices like this. Alito was asked how he felt about the dissent, and he responded by saying “I respect Justice Sotomayor’s right to her opinion but she’s a woman so I doubt the Founding Fathers would care what she thinks.” While many Americans are angered by this ruling, churches are looking forward to the added money in their coffers. The ruling goes into effect immediately, and anyone who refuses to attend religious services will be fined and forced to return any earnings they have received.

At this point, the messiness of the campaign for Mariah Carey‘s new album precedes the project itself. From non-charting singles, to endless delays, to a surprise roll-out that never came to pass, it’s been quite the roller-coaster for ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’. And with the LP experiencing more lows than highs, all eyes are on how it’s set to fare in the one region it has actually been promoted in — the US. So without further adieu, Mimi’s first week figures await below… According to Hits Daily Double, ‘Me. I Am Mariah’ will open with first week sales of… [bold]56,605[/bold] The numbers see the LP on course to chart at #4 on tomorrow’s Billboard 200. However, as Mimi sold just 500 copies more than nearest competitor ‘Frozen’, the album could actually chart lower at #5 depending on how the raw numbers are rounded up. Standing at this junction, all that’s needed to be said has been said already. It’s a sad state of affairs, but it happens. In Mariah’s own words, let’s hope she’ll ‘Shake It Off’ and begin working on a plan to redeem herself. She’s proven her comeback queen once, it’ll be interesting to see if she can do so again

I thought it was some kind Tyvek or something when I passed by; I thought she was reshingling and putting up some kind of preshingle protection. But no. She's been spending shitloads of money ruining her landscape. She spent a fortune putting in what looks like two attached mini Buddhist temples next to the swimming pool she just installed. She pulled down all the trees in the back and replaced them with the same kind of trees, only more of them and tightly packed together. They're all conifers which will grow into each other and block sunlight to half the trees. Now this. The house is a saltbox. We're 6 miles from the ocean. She'd converted the garage by putting two slit windows in front. It looks like she attached a shed to her house. Now this. The roof is cheap orange tarpaper stuff. And she had the door painted powder blue. Oh... she's an "artist," BTW. Not surprisingly, she was unable to make a living at it and worked for the town. A black saltbox with an orange roof and a blue door in a housing development.

United Nations to recognise gay marriages of all its staffers Policy expanded to include not just the marriages of staffers who come from countries where gay marriage is legal Associated Press at the United Nations; theguardian.com, Monday 7 July 2014 23.19 BST The United Nations has decided to recognise the gay marriages of all its staffers, UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon announced on Monday. Previously, the United Nations only recognised the unions of employees who came from countries where gay marriage is legal, UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said. "This is a step forward that many of the staffers at the United Nations had been seeking for some time," Haq said. The new policy became effective on 26 June, and applies to the UN's approximately 43,000 employees worldwide. Employees of separate UN agencies, such as the children's agency Unicef and the UN cultural agency Unseco, are not affected by the change in policy, Haq said. According to the Pew Research Center, gay marriage is legal in 18 countries, plus parts of the United States and Mexico. But prejudice remains deep in many countries. An extreme case is Uganda, which in February passed a law making gay sex punishable by a life sentence.

"The View" is cleaning house. Network sources tell us the cast has been fired... except for Whoopi Goldberg. Our sources say there was a meeting at ABC late Thursday afternoon and they announced Sherri Shepherd was out. We've also heard but have not confirmed Jenny McCarthy and executive producer Bill Geddie may be gone too. Maybe not coincidentally ... Barbara Walters is scheduled to be on the show Friday (though it did tape on Wednesday). "The View" has been in turmoil since Jenny was hired ... it messed up the chemistry on the show. So far no word official word on who is replacing the panel, but we're told the list includes Ross Mathews and Jesse Palmer.
Dolly Parton offers to take home dog found at Glastonbury festival Country singer says she will take white lurcher named after her back to America if owner does not come forward Press Association; The Guardian, Sunday 6 July 2014 Dolly Parton has offered to adopt a dog that was left behind at Glastonbury. The American country singer said she would take the white lurcher back to the US if its owner was not found. The dog was discovered in a tent during a clean-up after thousands of festival-goers left the site. The animal was named Dolly after the singer, who stole the show with her first ever performance at the festival last week. Dolly the dog was taken in by the Happy Landings animal shelter, situated close to the Glastonbury venue at Worthy Farm in Somerset. Parton, 68, said: "I had my manager call the Happy Landings animal shelter to make sure the dog is being treated and cared for properly. At this time, nobody has claimed the dog and the dog is in great hands at the shelter. I will take her home to America if nobody claims her within a reasonable amount of time." She also recorded a video message saying she was "very honoured and flattered" that the dog had been named after her. It is not the first time the singer has had an animal named after her. Dolly the sheep, the world's first successfully cloned mammal, was given the name in 1986 by scientists who were fans of the singer. Happy Landings said Dolly the dog is a "sweet-natured older lady" who arrived with a serious ear infection. The shelter said it had received many phone calls from concerned members of the public.

"To Russia With Love," produced by Robert Redford and Laura Michalchyshyn's Sundance Productions, features figure skater turned broadcaster Johnny Weir as host-interviewer. EPIX is bringing a documentary about gay athletes to the small screen that was partially shot during the Sochi Winter Games. Titled To Russia With Love, the documentary features figure skater turned broadcaster Johnny Weir as host-interviewer and chronicles two generations of Olympic LGBT athletes. The film is produced by Robert Redford and Laura Michalchyshyn's Sundance Productions. Weir was on hand at the Olympics in Russia, which has strict anti-gay laws on the books, as an on-air figure skating analyst for NBC. The documentary will make its world premiere Oct. 22. To Russia with Love examines human rights through the lens of LGBT athletes and includes interviews with legends Billie Jean King and Greg Louganis as well as the next generation of LGBT athletes who participated in the 2014 Olympic Games. Shooting worldwide in locations as diverse as Sochi, New York, Calgary, Toronto, St. Petersburg and Moscow, the film follows these athletes from the ice to the slopes as they bear the brunt of constant media questioning about Russia's anti-gay laws. Noam Gonick, who directed To Russia With Love, collected the Sochi footage without the consent of Russian authorities to protect the gay athletes who participated.

Let’s put aside the cultural jigsaw puzzle that allowed this kid to become internet-famous in the first place, but the fact remains that Nash Grier currently has 8.7 million followers on Vine. That’s 8.7. Million. People. To put it in perspective, Justin Bieber’s Vine is followed by 1.7 million. The 16-year-old (he was born in 1997 to make you feel extra old) is one of a growing trend of photogenic kids who seem to blow up social media with selfies and short videos, gaining fame and the potential for actual money along the way. As a general rule of thumb, kids can occasionally be huge idiots. It’s just science. And normally we wouldn’t report on a 16-year-old being homophobic, except that there were 8.7 million people listening when ‘lil Nashy posted something not only stupid (also not news since all his posts are stupid) but homophobic, misinformed and insulting. The post was taken down, but not before it could get reposted by another Youtuber, Tyler Oakley. Here’s what Tyler tweeted about it, and below you can see Nash’s Vine: Call me and people like me, 'fag' all you want, but spreading false information about deadly diseases is next level. Charming. Assuming that the vast majority of those 8.7 million followers are young people in this country, we hope Tyler wasn’t the only one who took offense. Maybe it’s about time to hit “unfollow,” America. On a side note, you can buy these sweat pants off of Nash’s website.

World's earliest erotic graffiti found in unlikely setting on Aegean island Racy inscriptions and phalluses carved into Astypalaia's rocky peninsula shed light on very private lives of ancient Greece Helena Smith in Athens; The Guardian, Sunday 6 July 2014 14.57 BST Wild, windswept, rocky and remote, Astypalaia is not an obvious place for the unearthing of some of the world's earliest erotic graffiti. Certainly, Dr Andreas Vlachopoulos, a specialist in prehistoric archaeology, didn't think so when he began fieldwork on the Aegean island four years ago. Until he chanced upon a couple of racy inscriptions and large phalluses carved into Astypalaia's rocky peninsula at Vathy. The inscriptions, both dating to the fifth and sixth centuries BC, were "so monumental in scale" – and so tantalisingly clear – he was left in no doubt of the motivation behind the artworks. "They were what I would call triumphant inscriptions," said the Princeton-trained professor who found them while introducing students to the ancient island world of the Aegean. "They claimed their own space in large letters that not only expressed sexual desire but talked about the act of sex itself," he told the Guardian. "And that is very, very rare." Chiselled into the outcrops of dolomite limestone that dot the cape, the inscriptions have provided invaluable insight into the private lives of those who inhabited archaic and classical Greece. One, believed to have been carved in the mid-sixth century BC, proclaimed: "Nikasitimos was here mounting Timiona (Νικασίτιμος οἶφε Τιμίονα). "We know that in ancient Greece sexual desire between men was not a taboo," added Dr Vlachopoulos, who returned to the far-flung island last week to resume work with a team of topographers, photographers, conservationists and students. "But this graffiti … is not just among the earliest ever discovered. By using the verb in the past continuous [tense], it clearly says that these two men were making love over a long period of time, emphasising the sexual act in a way that is highly unusual in erotic artwork. " Found at the highest point of the promontory overlooking the Bay of Vathy on the island's north-western tip, the inscription has led the archaeologist to believe that soldiers may once have been garrisoned there. Two penises engraved into limestone beneath the name of Dion, and dating to the fifth century BC, were also discovered at lower heights of the cape. "They would seem to allude to similar behaviour on the part of Dion," said Vlachopoulos. The epigrapher, Angelos Matthaiou, said the graffiti had not only shed light on the very personal lives of the ancients but highlighted the extent of literacy at a time when the Acropolis in Athens had yet to be built. "Whoever wrote the erotic inscription referring to Timiona was very well trained in writing," said Matthaiou, for more than 25 years the general secretary at the Greek Epigraphic Society. "The letters have been very skillfully inscribed on the face of the rock, evidence that it was not just philosophers, scholars and historians who were trained in the art of writing but ordinary people living on islands too." Other rock art found at the site include carvings depicting oared ships, daggers and spirals – all still discernible despite exposure to the erosive effects of wind and sea. As the best-known motif of early Cycladic art representing the waves of the sea, spirals symbolised perpetual motion as the driving force in the life and thought of island communities. "We know that Greek islands were inhabited by the third millienium BC., but what we have found is evidence that, even then, people were using a coded language of symbols and imagery that was quite sophisticated," said Dr Vlachopoulos. Unit recently, Astypalaia has been better known for its ancient cemeteries of mass graves containing the remains of newborn infants. Now erotica has to be added to that sorry tale. "Few Greek islands have been properly explored or excavated and these findings are testimony to why it is so important that they are," said the archaeologist.

Richard the Lionheart is one of England's most famous kings, and something of a gay icon, as well. Roger of Howden wrote of his relationship with Philip II of France: “They ate every day at the same table and from the same dish, and at night their beds did not separate them. And the king of France loved him as his own soul; and they loved each other so much that the king of England [Henry II, Richard’s father] was absolutely astonished at the passionate love between them and marveled at it.” Richard banned women from his coronation celebrations. He married Berengaria, but she left him after a few months and I don't think they ever had sex. During his time in the Holy Land during the Third Crusade, he fell in love with a younger knight, Raife de Clermon -- I wish I could find more about this. "Warriors of God" by James Reston, Jr., a "dual biography" of Richard and Saladin, deals forthrightly with his homosexuality. I think it would make for a great mini-series; it's what I wish "Game of Thrones" was really about.
To me it seemed like they were upset that a video about one of the groups they love to hate could have led to a disaster. They want a holy war with Islam. The cover-up crap (Obama conspiracy) was an afterthought. Their initial outrage was over their being called out for their violent rhetoric. They would have done the same thing if it was an anti-gay video that led to a gay youth facility being blown up. They complain that the world is too PC, freedom of speech, blah, blah, blah. They want to open their mouths, spout their garbage, and receive no criticism in return. Not only do they want to find some way to get rid of Obama, but they want to do something about their voices being supposedly silenced by the PC Police. This video and event is symbolic to them - First Amendment rights. That's half the reason they'll never let this thing go. Had the video been about anything else, they wouldn't have given a shit. Because it went after Islam, they love it.

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?

''Ever since gay men came out of the closet in the ''80s and showed us who they were, straight American men went into the closet to show us what they weren''t. Before the late ''80s men wore shorter shorts and swimwear was short and fitted. Men used to be so free and liberated then. Now they are scared.''%0D\ %0D\ Amen!

CHICAGO - At least 11 people were killed and 60 others wounded citywide in shootings in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend, reports CBS Chicago. There were also six police-involved shootings, two of which involved teens who were killed. In the most recent fatal shooting, an unidentified 44-year-old woman was shot at a barbecue around 12:30 a.m. Monday in the city's Morgan Park neighborhood, according to the station. She was shot as she leaned into a car in a parking lot and was pronounced dead at the scene. "While to date we have had the fewest murders since 1963, one victim is too many and there is clearly much more work to be done," said police spokesman Martin Maloney. At least 60 others were wounded in shootings throughout the holiday weekend.

He Likes Them Big and Buff He took off for the desert recently. To relax. And party. Without his girl. And gets high and hooks up with random men online (he likes them super pretty and super jacked), inviting them to his hotel room for a night of drugs and sex. Two problems here. First, he’s a recovering addict and second, when he goes on these tears, he doesn’t use condoms. It’s the kind of reckless behaviour he’s been able to control through much of his success and for many years now. Curiously though, the last time this happened it was also during one of his transformations. Back then though, there was no explosion of social media and everyone taking pictures. Considering that he’s been hooking up with dudes who are on the young side (but totally legal), he’s risking being exposed by someone who’s out to show off and exploit.
Any ideas?

Some examples include wrapping your head in a scarf or wearing a yamaka or wearing a robe or even painting your face with war paint. The point is, it is culture to don a certain garment to respect the person's culture. So would you don this cultural garment, without hesitation? Vote below and discuss.

In other words, is there a way to lose 1 lb of fat each day without significant muscle loss (and therefore a slowed metabolism)? Before you say, "Moderation is key" or "change your diet slowly so you won't gain the weight back" or some variant of this, keep in mind that all I'm asking is if it's physically possible. Basically, I just want to know if it there's a scientific limit to how much fat a person can lose in a day without compromising their metabolism. I'm curious because recently I've noticed that a lot of so-called "expert" advice hasn't been true for me. I went from eating 3 solid meals a day to eating 6 smaller ones to now eating 2 regular-sized meals a day (just lunch and dinner), and I feel much better on just meals even when keeping the type of food I'm eating relatively the same. I was surprised considering how much experts like to shove the "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" adage down our throats. It makes wonder what other "advice" I should be skeptical of.
I just spent 10 minutes politely listening to a co-worker tell me about his adult daughter's lab expiraments. He's one of those people who lives vicariously through his children, so it's basically his way of telling me HE'S getting a PhD.

I understand the unconditional love part of parenthood, but why should others suffer?

I have three cats who spend most of their time lounging outside on my covered deck in the back of my house. About 3 days ago a stray mama cat and her three kittens appeared. Mama has adopted me but now my three cats are freaked out, whining to be let in and generally act terrified of this laid back cat who essentially doesn't hiss or show any aggression towards them. She's not feral and even rubbed up against my leg the other evening and lays very close. What is their deal. I could see hissing from them but they are on my front porch now and acting like total weenies. P.S. I am going to take her to the vet under the "feral" cat program where they spay them for $35.

Brandon Routh is set to play another DC Comics super man — this time on Arrow. The erstwhile Man of Steel is joining the CW hit’s third season in the recurring role of Ray Palmer, aka DC superhero The Atom, TVLine has learned exclusively. An unparalleled scientist and inventor, Ray will play an unexpected role in the lives of Oliver and (rumored love interest) Felicity as the new owner of Queen Consolidated. Palmer’s plans for Queen Consolidated’s Applied Sciences Division will be shrouded in mystery. Also joining Arrow this fall — as previously reported by TVLine — are Sin City‘s Devon Aoki (as DC Comics superheroine “Katana”), Karl Yune (as Oliver’s Hong Kong handler/Katana’s husband Maseo Yamashiro), and Peter Stormare (as Count Vertigo). Routh’s TV credits include NBC’s late, much-missed Chuck, CBS’ short-lived Partners and, more recently, Crackle’s Chosen and Fox’s Enlisted. Arrow premieres its third season on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court ruled Monday that closely held companies cannot be required to pay to cover some types of contraceptives for their employees, ending its term with a narrow legal and political setback for a controversial part of President Barack Obama's health care reform law. In a 5-4 decision, the high court's conservatives essentially ruled that some for-profit corporations have religious rights. The owners of Hobby Lobby, furniture maker Conestoga Wood Specialties and Christian bookseller Mardel argued that the Affordable Care Act violates the First Amendment and other federal laws protecting religious freedom because it requires them to provide coverage for contraceptives like the "morning-after pill," which the companies consider tantamount to abortion. The decision, which comes two years after the justices narrowly preserved the Affordable Care Act and its key funding provision, could serve as a primer for other pending challenges to the health law. The issue before the justices was whether Obamacare could mandate contraception coverage specifically for certain businesses that object for religious reasons. "This case isn't that practically important, except for the employees and businesses involved. There just aren't a huge number of those," said Thomas Goldstein, publisher of SCOTUSblog.com and a Washington appellate attorney. "But everyone can agree the social questions presented -- about when people can follow their religious convictions, and when people are entitled to contraception care -- are truly important," he said. Contraception mandate The section of law in dispute requires for-profit employers of a certain size to offer insurance benefits for birth control and other reproductive health services without a co-pay. A number of companies equate some of the covered drugs, such as the so-called morning-after pill, as causing abortion. The specific question presented was whether these companies can refuse, on the sincere claim it would violate their owners' long-established moral beliefs. The First Amendment says that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." "How does a corporation exercise religion?" asked Justice Sonia Sotomayor at March's oral arguments, summarizing perhaps the key constitutional question at hand. "This is a religious question and it's a moral question," added Justice Samuel Alito, suggesting the businesses have such a right. "You want us to provide a definitive secular answer." Conestoga, Hobby Lobby The justices have a good deal of discretion to frame the competing issues and could reach a limited "compromise" through narrow statutory interpretation. They could conclude individual owners can make the religious freedom claim, bypassing the corporate rights argument, but still give female workers the flexibility to get covered drugs. The court weighed two related appeals from Conestoga Wood Specialties, a Pennsylvania cabinet maker, and Hobby Lobby, an Oklahoma-based retail giant that will have more than 700 arts-and-crafts stores nationwide by year's end. Both corporations emphasized their desire to operate in harmony with biblical principles while competing in a secular marketplace. That includes their leaders' publicly stated opposition to abortion. The case presented a complex mix of legal, regulatory, and constitutional concerns over such thorny issues as faith, abortion, corporate power, executive agency discretion, and congressional intent. Health law impact The political stakes are large, especially for the future effectiveness of the health law, which marks its fourth anniversary this year. The botched rollout last fall of HealthCare.gov, the federal Obamacare website, has become another political flashpoint along with other issues that many Republicans say proves the law is unworkable. They have made Obamacare a key campaign issue in their fight to overtake the Senate, and retain control of the House. Supporters of the law fear a high court setback on the contraception mandate will lead to other healthcare challenges on religion grounds, such as do-not-resuscitate orders and vaccine coverage. More broadly, many worry giving corporations religious freedom rights could affect laws on employment, safety, and civil rights. The abortion link The Hahn family, owners of Conestoga, and the Green family, owners of Hobby Lobby, said some of the mandated contraception prevent human embryos from being implanted in a woman's womb, which the plaintiffs equate with abortion. That includes Plan B contraception, which some have called the "morning after" pill, and intrauterine devices or IUDs used by an estimated 2 million American women. A key issue for the bench was interpreting a 1993 federal law requiring the government to seek the "least burdensome" and narrowly tailored means for any law that interferes with religious convictions. Monday's decision comes two years after the justices allowed the law's "individual mandate" to go into effect. That provision requires most Americans to get health insurance or pay a financial penalty. It is seen as the key funding mechanism to ensure near-universal health coverage. Under the Affordable Care Act, financial penalties of up to $100 per day, per employee can be levied on firms that refuse to provide comprehensive health coverage. Hobby Lobby, which has about 13,000 workers, estimates the penalty could cost it $475 million a year. The church-state issue now in the spotlight involves rules negotiated between the Obama administration and various outside groups. Under the changes, churches and houses of worship are completely exempt from the contraception mandate. Other nonprofit, religiously affiliated groups, such as church-run hospitals, parochial schools and charities must either offer coverage or have a third-party insurer provide separate benefits without the employer's direct involvement. Lawsuits in those cases are pending in several federal appeals courts. Second generation Monday's decision could signal how the court will approach other lawsuits against the health care law. "We're now getting the second generation of challenges to Obamacare -- about the actual adoption of the statute, and its core provisions," said Goldstein. "We're probably going to see cases over the next five to ten years, as more and more details about the law get put into effect."

(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

Though famine still takes its toll on the unfortunates across the sea, the greatest nation in the world has transcended such concerns. Here, our Statue of Liberty's upraised torch beckons with the message: In America, our appetizers are endless. In a bid to have its logo engraved on Mount Rushmore alongside our nation's other greatest heroes, indistinguishable flair-bedecked roadside dining hut TGI Fridays is now offering "endless appetizers" to you, the consumer, for the meager sum of $10. For less than the price of a single appetizer at a "good" restaurant, TGI Fridays will allow you, the consumer, to consume an unlimited amount of the following foodlike items: Loaded Potato Skins, Pan-Seared Pot Stickers, Mozzarella Sticks, Garlic & Basil Bruschetta, Tuscan Spinach Dip, Boneless Buffalo Wings, Crispy Green Bean Fries. (For those of you not versed in fine dining lingo, that is: Potato Bacon Cheez, Fried noodle pockets, fried cheese, grease bread, cream cheese dip, chicken fingers, and fried fry.) For the price of a dime bag, TGI Fridays employees will reheat these items, place them on a machine-washed plate, and deliver them directly to your table, until such time that you instruct them to cease doing so. Furthermore, TGI Fridays chief marketing officer Brian Gies assures USA Today that the restaurant's employees will not call the police on you should you choose to order a single order of "Endless Appetizers" and then share your endless appetizers with your broke, deadbeat friend, Taylor Berman: Even then, says Gies, Fridays will respect whatever tack customers take — even if it bends the rules of the promotion. "No one should be embarrassed for coming into Fridays and ordering whatever they want to order," he says. "They will not be bawled out. There will be no policing or hand-slapping." It is our fervent hope that this promotion succeeds in flooding each and every TGI Fridays location with large groups of America's homeless, all of whom will sit at a table all day sharing a single order of endless appetizers, until TGI Fridays is driven out of business, victims of their own generosity. We offer TGI Fridays our encouragement, and watch on in horror.
According to various reports, four gay NFL players will soon come out of the closet. But veteran free safety Kerry Rhodes wants to make it clear: he will not be one of them. Pictures of Rhodes surfaced this week on Media Take Out in which the player's arms are around a man in a tank top, but Rhodes tells TMZ the shots are harmless. "Photos have been circulating of my former assistant and I that have caused some rumors regarding my sexuality, and I wanted to address the situation," Rhodes says in a statement. "I am not gay." The free agent adds that the pics were snapped during a "casual" vacation with his "entire business team." Rhodes does say he agrees with Magic Johnson overall, however: he's all for those athletes who actually are homosexual: "I know a lot of people are recently talking about athletes struggling to come out to their fans right now, and I support them, as well as wish those individuals comfort."
He's on Facebook, shirtless all the time, totally pings but seems to imply he's straight. Not sure I can figure out what's with the weird "invisible" tattoo on his torso but he sure does love himself.
Would one of you Brits please explain her to me? I only knew of her from my cousins who lived in the UK at the time. I watched some of her early videos today and she kind of makes me cringe. She wasn't punk, really. She was kind of New Wave, I guess. But she wasn't cool and seemed to lack street credibility. She seemed kind of dorky, but in a purposefully arty kind of way. She had a unique look, and her music was different. But it sort of defied labels. I hate to call her a fake. But I don't think she was real rock and roll either.
Watching this really good coming-of-age flick with the always excellent Jennifer Jason Leigh and DL fave Bug Hall as her teen son. There's this scene where he has a wet dream and when he goes to show his mother the mess and ask her what it is, she tastes it to be sure it is what she thinks it is! I was slightly taken aback by that scene, but the film is an endearing slice of life.
Imagine if you will, Audrey cruising by Tiffany's, munching on that pastry, and there it is---an ugly tag. Somehow, the movie would not be the same. I've recently rewatched Picnic and realize that in today's world, those grain towers would be covered in writing. I know i'll be called a philistine for writing this, but graffiti sucks. There's a rare Banksy and I would not appreciate having anybody spray paint stuff on the side of my building. I think the best punishment would be to make the perpetrator walk around wearing old people clothes and a Lawrence Welk appreciation t shirt.

Article from Salon today. The most interesting statement in the article is this one: "If there is fire to be found in this great cloud of gay smoke, it would be remarkable. The guy’s been A-list famous since 1983, and there has been no public evidence at all, none, to support the rumors." I've been saying this for years on the DL, to much disdain from fellow DLers. In my view, it is just not plausible that a mega-watt star like TC could be so famous for so long, engage in gay-sex seeking activities, and yet not a shred of evidence can confirm it (or even hint at it). Moreover, the rumor that he is gay seems to exist in a vacuum. It comes out of thin air from people who have just decided he must be gay (and that it's just so obvious), rather than from specific instances of TC being caught or observed in gay-sex seeking behaviors. TC is weird enough on his own from what we are able to observe publicly. Why we need to invent a closet for him to live in is beyond me.

Three things rich kids are known to enjoy: Drinking, brunch, and telling everybody how successful their parents are. Meet Gerry, who appears to have hit the trifecta last Sunday near Madison Avenue, when he claimed his dad "owns half of fucking Manhattan." According to the uploader of this video, New York's Next Top Douchebag got wasted during brunch at Pranna and "fled a fight," eventually ending up outside a dry cleaners on 28th Street, where this video begins. Upon realizing he's being filmed, Gerry stumbles over and confronts the cameraman, who claims to own the property on which Gerry and his friends are loitering. And that's when our wealthy young brunch aficionado utters these words, which he will in no way regret later: "This your property? My dad is in fuckin' real estate, you're gonna tell me this your property? My dad owns half of fucking Manhattan." He also claims that calling the police will do no good because, "you think a guy who does real estate doesn't own the cops?" Oh, and he owns Bill DeBlasio, too. Do you want him to have Bill come down here so you can ask him yourself? The kid in the video has yet to be definitively identified by internet detectives. Gothamist commenters think he claimed to be a member of the Adjmi family, but there's no Gerry Adjmi listed anywhere online. Meanwhile, Pranna—which has pissed off the Community Board due to alleged incidents of public drunkenness in the past—says there were no incidents at brunch that Sunday, and "there are several bars and brunch locations around Madison Avenue." Update: The Smoking Gun has identified "Gerry" as an NYU student and non-real-estate-mogul named Gerry Shalam.

He didn't move, so I didn't move it. He snuggled up against me (his back was to me), so I knew that was the sign that it was okay with him. Hand crept down gradually and I felt this huge dick inside his underwear -- totally hard. I murmured "Sweet Jesus...", and he chuckled. %0D %0D We had to be really quiet (2 guys in the other bed sleeping). Lots of kissing and body contact, and I got to jack off that big cock (he liked it dry, for some reason). He came silently while I was kissing him. I still like that to this day.%0D %0D Later on, in the privacy of our room back at school, we continued with full-out sex with each other, but the hottest memory of him is the first time I felt his cock through his underwear. OMG.
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.
God, this bugs, and not just because most of the time the carts are blocking one or multiple parking spaces. I ALWAYS return my cart, even if I have to walk pretty far from where I'm parked. I think of it as exercise (and courtesy), not a chore. Even in the rain. Today, I watched a hugely obese (at least 400 pounds) woman and her adult daughter unload their groceries into their fucking mini-van, which was THE CLOSEST parking spot to the front of the store. It would have taken them maybe an extra 30 seconds total to put the cart in the corral thingy or JUST WALK IT BACK INTO THE STORE!! What did these heifers do? You guessed it, the fat bitch just left the cart next to her car, got in and left. So the cart rolllllllllllllllls to the center of that spot, taking up prime space someone else could have. Yes, I got BACK out of my car, took their stupid cart and put it in the correct place. Ignorant lazy people amaze me.

Who are partnered and say they''re just there for chat. Usually with the tag, "Here to meet new friends- and to keep up with old ones". Is this bullshit? Esp. when they''re shirtless, etc. How many friends can you have?
I was looking at Allen Tannenbaum's book of photography 'New York in the 1970s' and saw a photo of Jeanne Moreau, Micheline Presle, and director Jean-Louis Hym. I'd never heard of him, so I looked him up on google, and there was virtually nothing about him except this: Paid Notice: Memorials HYM, JEAN, LOUIS Published: August 21, 2003 HYM--Jean-Louis. In remembrance of Jean-Louis Hym who died 20 years ago in New York City, a murder still unsolved. From his family and friends. Helene Hym-Williams, 27 rue de la Pierre, 37100 Tours, France Anyone remember this?

I noticed a few recently. 1. Just before they go to Hollywood, Lucy is on the phone with her friend Marian Van Vlack discussing the trip. Couple of episodes later, when Mrs McGillicuddy arrives, Lucy asks her mother how Marian Van Vlack is doing, as if she hadn't had contact with her in ages. 2. In that same episode where Mrs McG arrives, she announces she wants to go Hollywood so she can take her book to Dore Schary, with the hope that he'll turn it into a screenplay. A few eps later, when they're all in Hollywood, Ricky makes a comment about Dore Shary, and Mrs McG shrieks over and over, "Who's Dore Schary? Who's Dore Schary?" 3. This one's a blooper: in an episode when they're getting ready to go to Europe, Fred brings his old vaudeville trunk to the Ricardos. The phone rings, and Ricky picks it up. I don't know if the sound people had the phone ring prematurely, but just after he picks up the phone, with phone to the ear, he turns to Fred and asks what that trunk is. Lucy has to quickly remind him that he's on the phone when she scoldingly says, "the phone, dear." Any others you can think of?
Anyone seen this documentary about Los Angeles County Hospital emergency care? Pretty terrific film. And the doctors are HOT.
We're all thinking it: Who's top and who's bottom? Because while at first you'd think Rannells was the bottom, I can totally see Doyle not being happy if he's not biting a pillow.

... and it's not even July! Months and months of heat and glaring sunlight to go, and drought and smoke and probably water rationing. Fuck it, I should be able to spend at least four months of the year in the mountains, or at the seaside.
...and summer brings out so many. Guys flashing their dicks out of the leg of the shorts, guys with hard ons rubbing off on my shoulder, men playing pocket pool. Even late at night some full on masturbation. Share your subway tales here.
Damn boy!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! By all that's holy, do NOT deprive us of seeing that body.
Chris Evans to give up acting other than his Marvel contractual obligations
This was shot in Boston where Chris is filming his new movie.\ \ I think it''s womanly and disappointing.

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

I'm not a fan of children, but this made me cry a little...
Whose children are they? They are blonde and don't look like either parent.
I attended summer camp with Chris Evans. I always thought his sister would become a star, not him.
Tell us about the first time you saw a cock... where? \ \ Me- my friend''s dad used to take us camping. Saw him shower... nice bod and beautiful cock.\ \ God I wanted him in my sleeping bag...
I'm very confused about the whole Hobby Lobby birth control ruling. Why is the Plan-B pill worse than regular birth control pills? I thought it was just a stronger dose of bc pill. Why is an IUD a terrible thing to use? It appears that rubbers are ok? WTF?
There is a market for a certain piece of womyn's jewelry that is on the brink of exploding soon and I want to get in on the action. It is one thing - one thing that needs to be 10-14K gold, which I know zilch about, and done WELL. Frau, cash money, city. Any advice? Other than R1, serious replies only please! Time is of the essence.

For what? Themselves? Isn't a lot of "fitness modelling" just one level from porn?
