[bold]Even Emma Stone and Colin Firth can't rescue a feeble, icky 1920s rom-com apparently written by an alien [/bold] Can we all stop making excuses for Woody Allen now? I’m not talking about the twists and turns of his personal life, or the allegations that he abused his daughter decades ago. I don’t know what happened between Allen and Dylan Farrow and neither do you, and we’ve all spent too much time discussing it. I’m talking about Allen’s increasingly bizarre and disconnected films of the last 15 years or so, which appear to have been made by a visitor from another planet who has heard human beings described (to use an old gag) but never actually encountered any.
“Magic in the Moonlight”: It’s time to stop making excuses for Woody Allen
A Republican state senate candidate who supported North Carolina's ban on gay marriage once worked as a female impersonator at a gay nightclub, the Winston-Salem Journal reported Saturday. Real estate agent Steve Wiles, 34, went by "Mona Sinclair" when he worked at the now-closed Club Odyssey in the early 2000s, according to the club's co-owner and a former employee. Wiles' former co-workers claim he was gay at the time and was a frequent visitor at the nightclub before he began working there. Wiles denied that he worked as Mona Sinclair in interviews with the Winston-Salem Journal, and responded "no" when the newspaper asked whether he was gay. But Wiles also appears as Mona Sinclair in a cached version of the Miss Gay America website. The cached webpage said that Wiles was suspended from the organization for "conduct unbecoming to a promoter of the Miss Gay America pageant system.” Wiles campaigned for North Carolina's constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in 2012, according to the Winston Salem-Journal. The state senate candidate spoke to Business Insider after the Winston-Salem Journal report was published and argued that he doesn't believe being against gay marriage is equal to being anti-gay. "I don't really understand how you can separate the fact that marriage is a religious institution," he said. As for whether he considers himself an ex-gay, Wiles told Business Insider he didn't want to comment on that. He said that he views his past as a drag queen as an "embarrassment," but told Business Insider that it wouldn't stop his campaign. "I learned a lot of lessons, some of them, well most of them, the hard way," he told the website. "That's generally how I learned, but I did learn from my mistakes. That's something that I wish I could say for some of my GOP rivals."

And what do you consider? Income? Net worth?
well, this sucks. I saw an ad online for a speed dating night in weho and I thought I'd check it out. Turns out I'm two years too old to go. Yes, like DC Comics, I'm the new 52. I thought, eh, I look a few years younger; I can go. Then I read the fine print in the ad that strongly urged anyone out side of the age range not to come. "We have other events for other age ranges." I'm thinking, 'what? 51 to 65 or 70?' I know this happens to everyone re: getting old. But it's so depressing! I feel like I wasted the best part of my life by not trying harder. But then people say don't try. Just live your life and you'll meet someone. That doesn't always happen though. Maybe I can still become rich and just buy someone.

Gay porn star Bruno Knight has been arrested for attempting to traffic samples of crystal meth from the US to the UK inside his body. Knight, whose real name is Philip Gizzie, had attempted to board a Virgin Atlantic flight at Los Angeles Airport in California when he was stopped and questioned by custom officers tipped off by the US Drug Enforcement Administration. Officers noticed something was amiss with Knight after he was said to be "moving erratically" and "sweating profusely". He told border officials he had been partying in Hollywood with several friends where he had taken methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and GHB. But after being taken to a holding room he later admitted to carrying three packets of crystal meth in his anus. He was able to dislodge two of the packages by himself, however he needed to be taken to Centinela Hospital in Inglewood to get the third removed via an enema. The packages weighed a total of 226 grams, or just short of half a pound. Knight is currently being held at Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Centre awaiting charges.

A new report says that David Gregory is toast as host of Meet The Press and that Chuck Todd and Joe Scarborough are battling to replace him. Lloyd Grove at The Daily Beast followed up on yesterday’s report on Gregory’s expected dumping from Meet The Press: In multiple conversations that I had with people inside and outside NBC after the item appeared, it was taken as a given that Gregory is toast. … In multiple conversations that I had with people inside and outside NBC, it was taken as a given that Gregory is toast. The principal pretenders to the MTP throne are NBC News’ chief White House correspondent and political director, Chuck Todd—who anchors The Daily Rundown, MSNBC’s weekday 9 a.m. show—and the cohosts of the three-hour-long Morning Joe program that precedes it, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. According to my sources, Scarborough, 51, a Washington-savvy former Republican congressman from Florida, and Brzezinski, 47, the supremely well-connected daughter of former White House national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, have been aggressively angling for the job in the event of Gregory’s all-but-certain demise. NBC can keep denying it, but it is obvious that someone is sowing the seeds for David Gregory’s firing. Joe Scarborough posted a tweet stating that the story is false: There have been numerous stories with NBC News sources saying that Mika and I have been “aggressively angling” for MTP. That is false. It is possible, but not probable that two stories in two days that quote people inside NBC saying that David Gregory is going to be fired could be wrong, but it seems like a mighty big coincidence that both of these stories also named Todd and Scarborough as the two that are vying to replace him. Joe Scarborough would be a disaster for Meet The Press. MTP likes at least to create the illusion of playing it down the middle. There is no mistaking where the former Republican congressman comes from. If a report from last year is to be believed, NBC is seriously considering changing Meet The Press so that it would be more like Morning Joe. Chuck Todd wouldn’t be much of departure from what David Gregory is doing now. Todd is a frequent panelist on Meet The Press, and he is loaded with the same Beltway groupthink that plagues Gregory’s version of the show. NBC would be wise to go out of house to bring in a fresh voice for the program, but they seem hellbent on taking one of their least popular talents on MSNBC and elevating them to Meet The Press. Gregory’s stint on the show has been bad, but replacing him with a Chuck Todd or Joe Scarborough could be even worse.

This is major news: MTV's famous fashion series House of Style is coming back, and Iggy Azalea has been tapped as its new host. Fancy, indeed. During the show, the Australian-born rapper will take viewers through L.A.'s best vintage stores, as well as music video set visits with Rita Ora and designer Jeremy Scott. The eight-episode season kicks off Aug. 4 on MTV.com and across MTV's social media platforms. It will conclude at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, where fans can see Azalea's commentary — from red carpet fashion to the performances — on the VMA preshow from 8 to 9 p.m. and the actual broadcast from 9 to 11 p.m. House of Style also will air a special VMA fashion recap episode on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. This marks MTV's second time reviving the House of Style series, which originally aired on MTV in the '90s with hosts including Cindy Crawford, Rebecca Romijn and Molly Sims, and again in 2012 as an online series with models Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls. You can bet we'll be tuning in on Aug. 4. Until then, we're wondering — what would Cindy Crawford have to say about Iggy Azalea?
I really like a lot of this. Yes, just a bit too much knick-knacks and stuff, but not as bad as usual. Like the color scheme and fabrics.

WHET the Megyn fangurls?? On Wednesday night’s broadcast of Fox News’ The Kelly File, host Megyn Kelly let loose a huge whopper of a lie when discussing the recent 48-hour FAA ban on flights entering and leaving Tel Aviv’s airport. The ban was put in place after a rocket from Hamas came within one mile of the airport. After the FAA announced the flight restrictions, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) decided to attack the Obama Administration, claiming the temporary ban on flights to Israel amounted to an “economic boycott” on the country and is essentially taking sides regarding the current conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. Kelly elected to carry the water for the GOP and Cruz by using the tried-and-true Fox News method of ‘just asking questions.’ The host began her show by asking, “Did the Obama Administration just pick a side in the Israeli-Palestinian war, and was it the wrong one?” Then, with an incredulous look on her face, Kelly highlighted the extension of another 24 hours to the FAA’s travel ban to Israel. Kelly proclaimed this as a great victory for Hamas and then dropped this incredible lie to make her point about how it was unnecessary and unbelievable for the FAA to issue the temporary restriction. KELLY: The ban was extended despite the fact that there is no similar ban in place on flights over Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen — not even one over Ukraine, where a commercial airliner was just shot down. The only problem with Kelly’s assessment that the FAA allows flights to go over Ukraine is that is is completely false. It doesn’t matter that Kelly made this statement with a look of shock and a rise in her voice. It doesn’t matter that she said it with conviction. What does matter is that she is utterly and altogether wrong. The fact is, the FAA has had a ban on flights over the Crimea region of Ukraine since April and placed further restrictions over eastern Ukraine after the downing of flight MH17. Furthermore, it was disingenuous of Kelly to include Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan. While the FAA has not fully prohibited civilian aircraft from flying over those regions, they have issued warnings and discouraged flights from traveling in those airspaces. This is all just part of Fox News’ Republican propaganda operation. They especially like to do this with Kelly, whom they have groomed for years to have the appearance of a non-partisan and fair news reporter and host. Basically, they have Kelly say something under the guise of true news reporting when it is really just a way to attack President Obama and push the Republican narrative of the moment. In this instance, Kelly is giving credibility to Ted Cruz’s latest criticism of the administration by pushing a lie. She’s making a rational decision, made by the FAA due to dangerous conditions, seem like a conspiracy put in place to punish Israel for its attacks on Gaza. (Also, the temporary ban has already been lifted.) Will Kelly issue a correction for this falsehood that she disseminated on her program? Probably, especially considering that it will be widely reported by the time she hits the air Thursday night. However, the damage has already been done. And that is the whole point. Fox News gleefully spreads misinformation and complete lies without any thought given to ethics and standards. Sure, on occasion, they may issue corrections and retractions. But the lie is already out there, taken root and being circulated by their audience.

Police puzzled by dolls left on porches in California city LOS ANGELES Thu Jul 24, 2014 8:41pm EDT (Reuters) - Police said on Thursday they were investigating porcelain dolls that had been left on the doorsteps of at least eight homes in a Southern California beach city that homeowners said bore a resemblance their daughters. The dolls were found over the past week on porches in San Clemente, a community of more than 60,000 people about 65 miles southeast of Los Angeles, Orange County Sheriff's Lieutenant Jeff Hallock said in a written statement. "Families in each of the homes where porcelain dolls were left voiced concern that the dolls resembled their daughters," Hallock said. He said the dolls had been collected as evidence and were being examined to determine their origin for clues as to who had left them.

Musical of film 'Rocky' knocked down on Broadway Associated Press, By MARK KENNEDY 1 hour ago NEW YORK (AP) — The Broadway musical "Rocky" is hanging up its gloves after being battered at the box office. Producers said Tuesday that the show will play its final performance at the Winter Garden Theatre on Aug. 17, after playing 28 previews and 188 regular performances. Based on the Oscar-winning 1976 film by Sylvester Stallone, the musical features a score by "Ragtime" veterans Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, and a story by Thomas Meehan, who wrote "Hairspray." Alex Timbers directed. The musical stays close to the film, which charted the rise and romance of amateur boxer and debt collector Rocky Balboa, who gets his shot against an undefeated heavyweight champ. Andy Karl starred as the hero. The musical never took off after mixed to poor reviews, despite a spectacular final few minutes when the boxing ring is lowered onto the first few rows. It broke the $1 million-mark only once and lately was making only half its $1,263,688 potential. The show earned four Tony Award nominations but took home no wins. The closing notice comes a day after "Holler If Ya Hear Me," a musical that that uses Tupac Shakur songs, announced it would close on Sunday after finding little love at the box office.

The bankrupt city of Detroit is shutting off water at a rate of 3,000 residents per week. It also recently increased water rates by nine per cent. Nearly half of the 329,000 accounts are in arrears and the average cost of a Detroit water bill is double the national average. Maude Barlow, chair of the Council of Canadians, flagged Detroit's plan to deal with delinquent accounts to the United Nations earlier this year. The UN calls the plan to shut off water a clear violation of human rights. "I've seen this in the poorest countries in the world," Barlow said. "This is what we call failed states, but to see this in North America, it's a disgrace." "We're sitting on the Great Lakes, supplying a fifth of the world’s surface water. It’s appalling," Barlow said. Barlow will be part of a convoy bringing what she called "good Canadian, public, clean water" across the river to Detroit on July 24. "Our water is their water," Barlow said. Maude Barlow Maude Barlow will lead a convoy of Canadians bringing water to Detroit on July 24. (Council of Canadians) She is also preparing an appeal to the White House. "We’re going right to the top," Barlow said. She has one question for President Barack Obama. "There are potentially 500,000 people who are going to spend a good part of the summer, in the heat, in the summer, without water. Is that OK with you?" she said Do you agree?

Proposal Would Alter Process for Migrating Plan Would Allow Honduran Minors to Apply For U.S. Entry as Refugees WASHINGTON—The Obama administration is considering a plan to allow young people from Honduras to apply for entry to the U.S. as refugees without making the often-dangerous trek here, an effort to stem a recent surge of illegal immigration by minors, senior Obama administration officials said Thursday. Under the plan, applications would be considered inside Honduras, and those approved could safely migrate to the U.S. The hope is that those who aren't approved wouldn't come. U.S. immigration officials have been overwhelmed by an influx of unaccompanied Central American minors. Many are coming from Honduras, which in recent years has been in the grip of gang violence and has one of the world's highest homicide rates.

It’s understood the interview, which Parkinson has described as one of the best he has ever conducted, includes a full admission from Thorpe that he is gay despite having dated women in the past. In the emotional sit-down shot last month, Thorpe also details the years of depression he has battled while denying his sexuality from the world.

ONEONTA, Alabama -A woman was caught on camera Tuesday stealing flowers from a gravesite at an Oneonta cemetery, and police said it's not the first time it has happened. Police Chief James Chapman said Carol Stevenson complained to lawmen that someone has repeatedly vandalized her late husband's grave at Oakhill Cemetery over the past year, though he's been dead 23 years. The vandals, Chapman said, have stolen real and artificial flowers from the site, and sprayed the headstone with black paint. "They started having trouble last year,'' Chapman said. He said there were at least four instances of someone stealing the artificial arrangements, and/ or digging up real flowers planted there. Twice, he said, someone has spray painted the headstone and Stevenson's daughters had to repaint the indented white lettering. Chapman said often people think flowers from gravesites are stolen when, in fact, the wind blows them away. That didn't appear to be the case here, so police suggested the family set up a hidden camera to verify their suspicions. They went out and bought a deer cam, and set it up nearby. On Tuesday, they found out for sure. A woman was photographed taking flowers from the site. "It got good footage of the woman pulling up the flowers but there was no vehicle in the images,'' Chapman said. "I think it's clear enough that she can be identified." Chapman says the family thought they might know who was behind the vandalism, but when they took the memory card to police and saw the images, they didn't recognize the woman at all. "She said, 'I don't have any idea who that is,''' Chapman said. Chapman said stealing artificial flowers from graves can be lucrative. Some of the arrangements sell for up to $500. Once stolen, they are rearranged and then resold at trade shows and markets, he said. Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the woman in these photos. The photos are also posted on the Oneonta Police Department's Facebook page. Anyone with information is asked to send police a private message on Facebook, or call the department 205-625-4351. They can also call Crimestoppers at 205-274-2746.

My father gave me $15k. I refused to take it, and told him I did not feel right, or good about taking money from him and my mother. He told me to take the money and use it. Buy a car, spend it, start a business. Do something with it. I don't know why he did this, and I know my sisters would shit if they ever found out about it. I've spent the last few days looking online for possible business ideas. All I've found are websites telling people to start a successful website and sell it. Start a website, make it popular and make money with AdSense. Start a website and make money with PPCs, (pay-per-clicks). I can barely navigate Datalounge, so much as start websites. So I'm hoping to get some advice from Dataloungers. No one here bullshits--when it comes to money. So what kind of business should I look into?
Suck it, bitches! *** Disney's fairy tale update starring Angelina Jolie is the highest-grossing original film of 2014 Disney's “Maleficent” has surpassed $700 million at the global box office, the studio said Tuesday. It's Disney's 15th release ever to reach that threshold and the second of 2014, the first being the Marvel superhero sequel “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” It's also Angelina Jolie‘s highest-grossing live-action film of all time domestically ($229 million), internationally ($472 million) and globally ($700 million), as well as the highest-grossing original film of 2014 worldwide. Released domestically on May 30, Maleficent opened at No. 1 with $69.4 million and has seen strong week-to-week holds. It's till in the top ten, eight weeks into its run. Internationally, “Maleficent” has been bolstered by exceptional performances in China ($47.4 million), Mexico ($45.7 million), Russia ($37.5 million) and Brazil ($32.3 million), as well as in Japan ($32.7 million) where the film opened July 5 and has held the top spot for three weekends running. It was only a few months ago that analysts had, foolishly it would seem, branded Disney's live-action adventure 'Maleficent' as a flop, and that was even before it had been released in cinemas. However, after a strong opening and consistent debut week and beyond, the stattos were left scratching their heads at the impressive $697 million it has made to date, from a $180 million budget. But what's more impressive is that 'Maleficent' was, until Michael Bay's 'Transformers: Age of Extinction', the highest grossing non-superhero film of 2014, which was a heck of an achievement, considering it was predicted to flop upon its end of May release. Impressively, 'Maleficent' can now boast as being the highest-grossing film sold on a single movie star's name. And what does that mean? Well, it basically means films that were marketed with a single name on the poster and its advertising material. Angelina Jolie's name solely features on the posters, which qualifies the film. It has proven to be a big hit across the globe and appears to have captured the imaginations of audiences in far greater numbers than anyone ever thought it would. Top 5 Movies sold on a single star's name: 1. Angelina Jolie – Maleficent – 697.2 2. Tom Cruise – Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol – 694.7 3. Tom Hanks – Forrest Gump – 677.4 4. Bruce Willis – The Sixth Sense – 672.8 5. Will Smith - Hancock – 624.4

You won’t be seeing any more of Andrej Pejic, the androgynous male model who rose to fame in 2010 after Carine Roitfeld had him photographed in womenswear for Paris Vogue. An onslaught of editorials followed (including a shirtless Dossier Journal cover that was essentially banned by Barnes & Noble for fear their customers would think he was a naked woman), and he even walked as the beautiful bride in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring ’11 Couture show. But Andrej’s days on the runway are over. However, Andreja’s career is just getting started. Earlier this year, Andreja underwent sexual reassignment surgery (SRS). She always knew she was a woman, but her body, or at least parts of it, didn’t match up. Yesterday, the model trekked from her current Williamsburg digs to LGBT advocacy group GLAAD’s Chelsea headquarters to speak, for the first time, about her transition. Donning a white crop top and embellished Ports 1961 skirt, Pejic, who was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina but was raised in Melbourne (hence her charming Aussie accent), looked as angelic as ever. “I feel good,” she told me before sitting down. It showed. You can bet you’ll be seeing quite a bit of Andreja Pejic—she has a role in Sofia Coppola’s forthcoming rendition of The Little Mermaid, and plans for fashion week are already in the works. Here, the six-foot-one stunner (who, it should be noted, has cheekbones that could cut glass) opens up to Style.com about her SRS, the challenges of being a transgender model, and why, at long last, she’s “ready to face the world.” See full interview at link.

John Travolta Can't Stop Former Pilot's Lawsuit Over Secrets (Exclusive) 1:44 PM PDT 7/22/2014 by Eriq Gardner A California appeals court allows Douglas Gotterba to challenge the validity of a confidentiality agreement. Douglas Gotterba, who worked for John Travolta's aircraft company Alto in the 1980s, will get the opportunity to argue in a lawsuit that he holds no confidentiality duties to the actor. On Tuesday, the airline pilot was given the go-ahead sign by a California appeals court. Gotterba worked for Travolta for six years. According to press interviews he's given, he claims that his relationship with Travolta was more than professional. He stopped working for the actor in 1987, at which point he entered into a written termination agreement with Alto. Nearly 25 years later, Gotterba came forward to "tell the story of his life and those involved in it," including his personal relationship with Travolta. According to Gotterba, he was "unwillingly thrust" into the gossip tabloids by public revelations from another former Travolta employee. Upon hearing that Gotterba had spoken to the National Enquirer and was planning a book, Travolta's attorney Martin Singer sent out cease-and-desist letters. The lawyer warned Gotterba about breaching the confidentiality provision of his termination agreement. Gotterba's own attorney then demanded to see the asserted confidentiality provisions. He eventually saw what Singer was relying upon when the parent company of the National Enquirer forwarded the relevant portion of a four-page agreement. But the airline pilot maintains that this agreement is "not authentic," that it is merely an early draft of another three-page agreement that didn't contain the confidentiality clause. So Gotterba sued Travolta and Alto seeking a judicial declaration about which agreement was valid and whether confidentiality was really enforceable. In response, Alto aimed to kill Gotterba's lawsuit by bringing an anti-SLAPP motion. In instances where someone's First Amendment rights are at stake, California law provides defendants with an early exit as well as the possibility of recovering legal fees. In this case, the defendants asserted that Travolta's right to petition was protected. The question for the trial judge and then the appeals court was whether Gotterba's lawsuit was based upon Singer's demand letters. California appeals court Presiding Justice Arthur Gilbert says that it is not based upon Singer's "sabre-rattling" but rather "the validity of the asserted termination agreements." He adds, "Although the prelitigation letters may have triggered Gotterba's complaint and may be evidence in support of the complaint, they are not the basis of the complaint." The justice says that to hold otherwise "would lead to the absurd result that a person receiving a demand letter threatening legal action for breach of contract would be precluded from seeking declaratory relief to determine the validity of the contract. Declaratory relief would be limited to situations where the parties have not communicated their disagreement."
John Travolta Can't Stop Former Pilot's Lawsuit Over Secrets
This is the thread where we enjoy biceps.
A thread I just saw on here reminded me of something I wanted to post. A couple of weeks ago, the apartment behind me came open for rent. A young couple who already lived in the complex decided to take it because they needed a bigger apartment than the one they were in. They moved in, and brought another girl with them. As of now, there's been so many people in and out of the unit that I'm not sure how many are living in it now, but potentially six! It's a two-bedroom. I found out they are all Scientologists and all attended some strange Scientologist boarding school together. I know nothing about this organization other than what is in the media regarding celebrities. As a kid, I had a crazy-ass neighbor who was obsessed with L. Ron Hubbard, so I'm assuming he was one. Do they hate gays?
I think they're really hot. More in Free Zone -> Video Album -> Album Atopik and MTK Prod.

Because my "Alice" vs. "One Day at a Time" poll wasn't highbrow enough for some.
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?

Alec Baldwin Scolded, Vows to Stay Out of Trouble in Court Appearance 11:28 AM PST 07/24/2014 by Hilary Lewis , The Associated Press The actor was told to "be a good boy from now on" by a Manhattan Criminal Court judge in his case stemming from Baldwin's May bike-riding arrest. Alec Baldwin was scolded by a judge and vowed to stay out of trouble during a Thursday court appearance in Manhattan stemming from his bike-riding arrest in May. Baldwin was charged with disorderly conduct after he allegedly got belligerent with the police officers who said they stopped him for riding a bicycle the wrong way down a one-way street. The 30 Rock alum appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court the same day as Shia LaBeouf, with whom he was set to share the Broadway stage last year in a revival of the play Orphans before LaBeouf left the show over "creative differences." Their shared court date was just a coincidence, but it paired stars who have become known for acting up, not just for acting. "Looks like you have a short fuse," Manhattan Criminal Court Judge John DeLury told Baldwin while looking over the allegations against him; they're violations, not crimes. After Baldwin repeatedly said he'd pay a fine for the May 13 encounter — though the judge said he was just asking for an apology — DeLury put the case on track to be dismissed if the actor avoids re-arrest for six months. It's a common outcome for low-level cases in Manhattan. "Can you stay out of trouble, Alexander?" DeLury asked. "Sure, sure," Baldwin said. "Be a good boy from now on. Have a good day!" After LaBeouf pulled out of Orphans, he publicly tweeted private emails from Baldwin and others involved in the show. ("Sorry for my part of a dis-agreeable situation," LaBeouf wrote to Baldwin in one message; Baldwin apparently wrote back: "I don't have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word.") Baldwin, whose career has included Emmy Awards for 30 Rock and Oscar and Tony nominations, has developed an ornery reputation in real life. A voicemail of him berating daughter Ireland Baldwin came to light in 2007 (he later said the message horrified him), he was kicked off a plane in 2011 after refusing to stop playing a cellphone game, and he's had a series of run-ins with news photographers. After using an anti-gay slur in one such encounter last fall, he was suspended from his ultimately short-lived MSNBC show; Baldwin apologized and said he hadn't meant to offend anyone. In February, Baldwin wrote a New York magazine cover story decrying tabloid coverage of his comings-and-goings in New York City, saying he probably needs to move elsewhere.

The 91-year-old comic book legend was set to make appearances and signings on Friday and Saturday at the San Diego convention. Comic book legend Stan Lee has abruptly canceled his appearance at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the 91-year-old co-creator of Spider-Man, Hulk, Avengers and X-Men was due to make appearances and signings on Friday and Saturday, but is bowing out due to losing his voice. "Unfortunately, Stan Lee has lost his voice due to laryngitis and is unable to attend this year’s San Diego Comic-Con and has regrettably had to cancel his appearances," said his spokesperson, confirming the news. "Stan is otherwise well and in good health, though he is disappointed to miss the event and wishes everyone a great time." Lee has been a hallmark of the convention since its earliest days, as the former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief was living in Los Angeles and working on getting Hollywood’s attention when Comic-Con began its toddler years. And this is one of a only handful of Comic-Cons he will have missed. Lee is due to appear at other conventions later this year, such as San Antonio’s Alamo City Comic-Con in September and his own meetup, Stan Lee's Comikaze, in October in Los Angeles. He last appeared at Phoenix Comic-Con in early June and at the London Film & Toy convention on July 11-13. Those still jonesing for their Lee fix can catch him making his usual Marvel movie cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy, out Aug. 1.
Police in Southwest Florida are looking for three men who were only wearing underwear, when they broke into a restaurant and stole fixins for an early morning cookout. Surveillance cameras recorded images of the men, one of whom was clad in tightie whities. Detectives say the men broke into Doc's Beach House in Bonita Springs around 3 a.m. on Sunday, July 20. After roaming around the kitchen area, the men picked up a case of hamburgers and red bell peppers. They then took off their underwear and walked around the kitchen nude. Investigators think the men left the restaurant and walked to the beach toward the Collier County line, where red peppers were found on the beach a few hours later. Authorities have not said if the men put their underwear back on before leaving the restaurant. It appears as though the thieves may have also stole some shrimp, according to the following post on Doc's Beach House's Facebook page. "So...three naked guys robbed Doc's Beach House in Bonita Springs, FL this past weekend. They stole some award winning burgers and shrimp. They haven't caught them yet so if you blacked out over the weekend and woke up with a case of tasty meats, please tag yourself in this photo." If you recognize the men in the video, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS. Callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000. Tips may also be made online at www.swflcrimestoppers.org or by texting a tip to CRIMES (274637) Keyword: REWARD.

Just like it did with Stephen Colbert nine years ago, Comedy Central and Jon Stewart have gone to the bench of correspondents on The Daily Show to find a host for the post-Daily Show 11:30 PM slot. Senior Black correspondent Larry Wilmore will host a new nightly program, The Minority Report, which will launch in January 2015, following the end of The Colbert Report. (Colbert will be departing Comedy Central at the end of his contract in December to prepare for taking over CBS’ Late Show from David Letterman.) Wilmore also is attached as showrunner of ABC comedy Black-ish, which was just picked up to series. He is expected to complete his obligations, work on the show’s initial 13-episode order and get it off the ground before segueing to The Minority Report. Like with The Colbert Report, The Minority Report was created by Jon Stewart and will be produced by his Busboy Prods., with Stewart and Wilmore serving as executive producers. The move, with Stewart continuing to produce both The Daily Show and its companion program, will likely help keep the comedian in the Comedy Central fold when his contract comes up next year. The Minority Report With Larry Wilmore will be a comedic take on the day’s news. It will feature a panel of voices, which Comedy Central says “are currently underrepresented in comedy and television.” Said Stewart: “While Larry Wilmore is a brilliant comic and showrunner, this is all just a complicated ruse to get him to move to New York and turn him into a Knicks fan.” Responded Wilmore, “I love the city of New York and promise to only wear my Laker t-shirts when I’m layering.”

Days Of Our Lives' Eileen Davidson Is Joining RHOBH, Says Source By Emily Strohm 07/23/2014 at 06:55 PM EDT One way to add more drama to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Throw in a couple of former soap opera stars. Just a week after PEOPLE learned that Days of Our Lives alum Lisa Rinna will appear in the Bravo series, a source says that Eileen Davidson is now set to join her soap opera star pal next season on the reality show. The new additions will take the place of former housewives Carlton Gebbia and Joyce Giraud. While Davidson, 55, and Rinna, 51, might be newbies when it comes to the Housewives franchise, this won't be the first time they've appeared together on television. Davidson first got her start on the daytime soap Days of Our Lives in 1993 when she starred as the villainous Kristen DiMera alongside Lisa Rinna, who played Billie Reed from 1992 to 1995. Both actresses later returned to reprise their roles on the NBC series. Bravo has yet to officially confirm whether Davidson is joining the cast.

The episode is called "Perky's Visit". Just re-watched it on Logo TV. Julia and Suzanne's mother visits for Thanksgiving and Anthony is suspected of murder (subsequently exonerated; the gay partner did it instead. Ugh). How must Meschach Taylor have felt to act in that episode? I guess Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had good intentions, but it just comes off as "let's all blame the ex-con n***er for the murder since who else could have done it?". Ugh, just ugh. Just really offensive. I'm just queasy now.

lol. After President Obama's motorcade delayed a pregnant woman in labor from making it to a Los Angeles hospital on Wednesday, conservatives were able to fuse two of their favorite memes. The woman's plight was yet another chapter in the regal presidency of the Fundraiser-in-Chief. Breitbart's John Hayward had no trouble checking off each of those boxes. "I would imagine the woman who went into labor in Los Angeles, but had to wait across the street from the hospital while His Majesty's mighty motorcade rolled past en route to his next big-bucks fundraiser, is probably tired of the 'bear is loose' crap too," Hayward wrote. As noted by the folks over at Michelle Malkin's Twitchy, conservatives on Twitter really liked the "King Obama" angle. It also suited The Daily Caller's Sean Medlock, who writes under the pen name "Jim Treacher." Naturally, Medlock used the nickname for Obama. "Sorry, lady, but King Barry had yet another fundraiser to attend," Medlock wrote. "You should’ve thought of that before you decided to punish yourself with a baby. Silence, you peasants." Medlock later bragged that he was rewarded for his efforts with a coveted link on the Drudge Report. The story was first reported by The Blaze's Oliver Darcy, who quoted an eyewitness at the scene. “I felt bad for her,” the witness said of the unidentified woman. “It does happen when Obama comes to L.A. or I’m sure anywhere else. It paralyzes the city, it does make it complicated.” The witness told The Blaze that the woman was forced to wait at least 30 minutes as authorities prepared for the arrival of Obama's motorcade, preventing her from crossing the street to reach the hospital. NBC Los Angeles reporter Robert Kovacik posted videos from the scene on his Instagram profile. In one video, Kovacik asked a Los Angeles cop what would "happen with the pregnant lady across the street." “As soon as we can — it looks like the motorcade is coming through right about now, so we’ll be able to open it up for traffic. The first thing we’ll try to get through will be an ambulance, but I can’t guarantee there will be —" the officer said before the video ended abruptly. Medics treated the woman at the scene and, according to multiple reports on Thursday morning, the baby still hasn't arrived. The incident also gave conservatives an opening to revisit a Democratic fundraising tool that has driven the right mad since the 2012 election. National Review's Greg Pollowitz offered a light-hearted take on the matter in his post titled "War on Women: Obama Motorcade Delays Woman in Labor From Entering Hospital." "If only she had free birth control, this never would have happened," Pollowitz wrote. "I kid, I kid. This really isn't the president's fault, but why do the cops on the scene not do anything for this woman?" The "War on Women" angle sounded good to Townhall's Katie Pavlich, too. Pavlich used the story to promote her recently released book, "Assault and Flattery," which "exposes the truth behind the real war on women—the one being waged by Democrats." Unlike Pollowitz, it's unclear if Pavlich was joking.

I've been wondering whether this movie will be a big flop, or a mega hit. Well, this trailer makes me think the latter. If it is half a funny, half as exciting and half as stylish as this trailer it will be a HUGE HIT. Marvel is doing it right.
Have the colors in women's clothing always been this limited? I just finished a convention, and it seemed that every woman was wearing some combination of four colors- aqua, lime green, yellow, and salmon pink. It was like a chorus from a musical comedy circa 1940.
A federal judge in Denver declared Colorado's gay marriage ban unconstitutional Wednesday, but he temporarily put the ruling on hold to give the state until next month to seek an appeal. Judge Raymond P. Moore's ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed July 1 by six gay couples who asked the court for an injunction ordering that the state's ban no longer be enforced. Colorado Republican Attorney General John Suthers and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper had requested a stay so the issue could eventually be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court — though both agreed the state ban should be declared unconstitutional. The couples filed the lawsuit after the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled against Utah's gay marriage ban but put the decision on hold pending an appeal. Moore said in his ruling that Colorado's attorneys "have not met their burden" for a stay because they did not oppose the injunction. But he's giving them until Aug. 25 to seek a stay from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver or the U.S. Supreme Court. Shortly after the ruling, Suthers filed a notice of appeal to the 10th Circuit. The matter of the injunction was never in question, only whether there would be a stay. Moore indicated as much during a hearing Tuesday. Moore said the U.S. Supreme Court has signaled that it may take up the constitutionality of gay-marriage bans, citing a decision last week granting a stay in the Utah case. The Supreme Court said state officials don't have to recognize the marriages there until their appeal is heard. "There is a fuse that has been lit that is burning across federal courts, and all of the district courts that have looked at the issue seem to be pointing in a single direction," Moore said during the hearing. "But not withstanding that, it seems as if with wet fingers the Supreme Court has put its finger on that fuse and perhaps said, 'Wait.'" Gay couples applauded the ruling, but said they were still waiting for a final resolution. "It's been a long time coming," said one of the plaintiffs, Breanna Alexander, 30, of Arvada. "But we're still meeting opposition that feels even more unjust when it comes to frivolous appeals." The fight to legalize gay marriage began in earnest after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the Clinton-era federal Defense of Marriage Act last year. The majority ruled that it was unconstitutional for the law to deny federal benefits to same-sex married couples. Same-sex marriage now is legal in 19 U.S. states, including several socially conservative ones. Recent polls show a majority of Americans support gay marriage. Colorado voters banned gay marriage in 2006, though civil unions became legal in 2013. The couples' federal lawsuit alleged the state's same-sex marriage ban violates due-process and equal-protection rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Although some of the couples in the lawsuit have civil unions in Colorado, the lawsuit called them unequal and an inadequate substitute to marriage. Suthers' office said the question of gay marriage should be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court. Hickenlooper also said the legal process should play itself out, but he has reiterated his support for same-sex marriage. After the ruling, Suthers said he was gratified that Moore issued a temporary stay. The attorney general said he expects the appeals court to continue the stay and believes the nation's highest court will be the final authority in gay marriage cases. Even though Colorado's gay marriage ban is still in effect, clerks in Boulder, Denver, and Pueblo counties have issued marriage licenses to gay couples after several favorable court rulings. Denver and Pueblo counties have stopped because of a state Supreme Court order, and Suthers is trying to get Boulder to cease issuing licenses to gay couples.

OCEAN BEACH (CA) -- A bumper sticker that reads "Welcome to Ocean Beach/ Please don't feed our homeless" is drawing mixed reactions. The sticker targets aggressive panhandlers, according to Ken Anderson, 42, who works at The Black, where the stickers are sold for $2.50 each. The stickers are a play on the National Park Service's "Please don't feed the bears" sticker. Anderson says he had the stickers printed a few weeks ago because people are tired of rude, young transients demanding spare change rather than asking for it. Anderson hopes the stickers will make the community realize the homeless population there is out of control. He's also had T-shirts and hats printed with the same message on them. Local business owner Chaz Lomack claims many of the young homeless in the area choose not to work, and in fact come from well-off families and have cell phones. According to Lomack, there have been incidents of violence against people who refuse to give them money. Meantime, Frank Gormlie, 62, who runs the local "OB Rag" blog, says the stickers send the wrong message about Ocean Beach, which he describes as a "place of laid-back tolerance." Gormlie feels the stickers carry a message of hate and dehumanize the homeless. He has asked Anderson to stop selling them. For his part, Anderson says his store will continue to sell the stickers as long as there's demand.

This is the guy who single-handedly shortened World War II. It was really sad when he was arrested because he was gay and died as a result. I think this is a really good argument for gay marriage. There are so many gay geniuses out there that could help society why no allow gay marriage?
I've been watching many of his films last few days and I think he's quite hot and do quite well in sexy, seductive roles. Does anyone like him or is a fan? What are your thoughts on him? I find the fantastic Four, an underrated film, he performed exceedingly well in it.
Rick Wiles, host of the radio show “End Times,” believes that while President Obama may not be the Antichrist foretold in the Bible, he’s definitely the latest human incarnation of Satan in a man’s body. His evidence for such a claim comes in the form of two news items: Obama’s filing of a legal brief opposing California’s Proposition 8, and a scheduled visit to Israel this spring. Specifically, Wiles believes that Obama’s desire and work to “change laws” is evidence of a Satanic presence. Wiles emphasizes Daniel 7:25 by saying: “‘He shall persecute the saints of the most high and shall intend to change times and law.’ Now that’s what I want you to focus on. ‘He shall persecute the saints of the most high and shall intend to change times and law.’” Then, after discussing Proposition 8 and Obama’s intent in filing the brief, he says,“So brace yourself, Mr. Obama may declare this week that homosexual marriage is a constitutional right. Is he the Antichrist who changes times and law? Only time will tell.” The religious right has a history of saying that gay marriage will be the undoing of civilization. The dean of Liberty University’s school of law insisted earlier this year that allowing gay marriage will open the floodgates to destroying freedom of speech and religion, families, and traditional marriage, and will ultimately lead to revolution. And former Pope Benedict XVI called out gay people for denying their God-given sexual identities, and warned that gay marriage (along with euthanasia and abortion) threatened world peace. But Wiles takes it further, using Obama’s legal brief against Prop. 8 as a segue into discussing the possibility of Obama cementing his position as Antichrist by walking into the Temple Mount area and proclaiming himself God. It appears that, to Wiles, it’s a little too convenient that Obama would urge the Supreme Court to declare gay marriage a constitutional right and then visit Jerusalem, and says, “I think it will be interesting to see if he enters Jerusalem on the same day Jesus entered the city prior to Passover. “Now here’s a crazy thought, I’m not suggesting that it’s going to happen; I’m just saying it’s kind of a crazy thought. Suppose that Mr. Obama enters the Temple and declares himself as God. Now, I don’t even want to go there today, I think it is too early for that happen, but this is starting to get a little spooky, isn’t it?” While he couches his comments in “supposedly” and “I’m not saying,” it’s pretty clear what he is saying. However, it’s extremely unlikely that Obama would do something so offensively crass. Part of the issue with the religious right, particularly those on the extreme right, is a certain inflexibility and fear of change. Given that times have changed quite a bit, not only through the making and changing of laws, but also through scientific and technological advances, one has to wonder just how many of the innovators of these changes have been considered an Antichrist. Times and laws change whether we like it or not. Obama is not the first U.S. president to be suspected of being Antichrist. Fundamentalist Christians tend to suspect any leader who is unusually influential and charismatic. Presumably, the first U.S. president thought to be Antichrist was FDR, both for his influential abilities and his desire to form the United Nations. One of the things that Antichrist is supposed to do is create a one-world government, with himself as the head. Many evangelical Christians at the time believed that, if FDR wasn’t Antichrist, he was definitely under Antichrist’s influence. JFK was also thought to be Antichrist when he was running for president, and Gregory Stuart Gordon thought that Reagan was Antichrist. It seems that the fundamentalists look hardest at a person’s charisma, as Antichrist is supposed to be extremely charismatic and uses that charisma to influence the world to follow him. They do, however, tend to ignore other characteristics and qualifications when declaring that this leader or that leader is a likely Antichrist.Unfortunately, the paranoia that comes with that only furthers the politics of fear.

How did you find out? Do you think your mother ever knew?
I find "The Dark Knight Returns" too nasty and heavy-handed. Among my favorites are probably the whole Steve Engelhart/Marshall Rogers run from 1977 (climaxing in the great "Laughing Fish" Joker two-parter), or "The Long Halloween." But my favorite of favorites is "Batman: Year One." Frank Miller really reined in his sadistic and misogynistic streaks (with Barbara Gordon emerging as a very strong and intelligent female character), all the mythos of the storyline was resestablished in such a way that still holds 25 years later, and you just can't beat Mazzuchelli's artwork.

It just seems too perfect of a scenario to have not been contrived. With one vote making the difference and all. Jillian should have refused the win.
This A list mostly television actor who has moved on from television now to movies and theatre was telling a story two nights ago about how he once had sex with this A list action movie star back in the day when our first actor was still in the closet. The second actor is deep in the closet
His face has that look.
It's too bad his movie, Making the Rules, was released on VOD, instead of in theaters, or he would be a serious contender for the 2015 Oscars.

Sexually, I mean? Do you ever feel weirded out or guilty about it? I broke up with a guy a couple of months ago, but man the memory of the sex we had is still prime jerk-off material (even if he did turn out to be a bit of a disrespectful immature jerk).
Get it, girl!

He’s found himself in some sh-tty situations because of it. Why the darkness? It was stress. The stress of feeling that he can’t come out publicly. Lately though…there’s been a turnaround. Career is in good shape. And there’s someone new in his life. What’s she doing for him? They get along well. They both party…HARD. But she’s not his lover, she’s his front. Because when she’s around, he can hook up with men. And she’s happy to cover for him. She’s playing her part so that no one’s looking at what’s really going on – which is that he’s been messing around with a wealthy older man who spoils him…with sex and drugs. So the stress is gone. But not the habits.

With apologies to socially responsible Californians: Who on DL has had to put up with a person -- a friend, acquaintance, work colleague, relative -- who can't simply say, 'I'm sorry, I can't do so-and-so' or 'I've got other plans for that night' but instead engages in this chicken-shit habit of running out the clock and saying *nothing* when you have invited them to do something? You're therefore stranded, waiting for an answer and unable to make alternate plans, out of a misplaced (and increasingly undeserved) sense of loyalty toward the person who's playing the 'California No' game? Any more, if I don't hear yes or no within a few hours, I say, 'I know you're busy, and if I don't hear from you by noon tomorrow, I'll go ahead and make other plans.' I'm so tired of all the negotiating and game-playing and 'busier-therefore-more-important-than-thou' BULLSHIT going on out there. The person who has done this to me several times *always* claims not to have received the message. Or to have gotten it at the very last minute, so unable to go, meet, whatever.

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.

15 Gorgeous Spots That Take Us Back In Time...Without The Crowds
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.

David Gregory’s time is nearly up at “Meet the Press,” sources told Page Six, and he could be replaced as moderator of the nation’s longest-running TV show soon after the November midterm elections. While NBC News President Deborah Turness has publicly supported the embattled Gregory, there are serious concerns about the losing battle to turn around the show’s sinking ratings. Viewership is down a whopping 43 percent compared to when Gregory ascended to the moderator’s chair in December 2008, after the death of Tim Russert. The show finished in third place behind CBS’s “Face the Nation” and ABC’s “This Week” in the second quarter of 2014. An NBC source said, “The discussion is whether to make a change before or after the midterm elections. Just after the midterms would give the new moderator time to settle in.” According to insiders, NBC political director and chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd is the rightful heir to Gregory, but he has not been officially offered the job. Other names said to be in the frame include “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie, who comes from a political background but is unlikely to be released from the flagship morning show where she’s hugely popular. Guthrie is also due to give birth to her first child next month and will return to “Today” after maternity leave. MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” team Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have also been said be angling for a Sunday slot, but NBC insiders said there are concerns about putting a partisan host in charge of “Meet the Press,” as Scarborough is a former Republican congressman. After the Washington Post recently reported that NBC had commissioned a “psychological consultant” to interview Gregory’s wife and friends, NBC publicly stood by Gregory, who denounced the psychologist claim as “gossip reporting gone wild.” An NBC spokesperson told us Tuesday night, “We heard the same false rumors and suggest you take them with a grain of salt, as we did.”

Comedienne Roseanne Barr is planning a big move from Hawaii to San Francisco, California, so she can be near her youngest son as he attends college. Buck Thomas, 19, has just completed high school and now he's hoping to get away from his mum - but she has plans to follow him to college. She says, "He's going to San Francisco... I always go where he goes; he hates that I do that. "I know it's weird but I moved across the street from the boarding school that he went to. He wanted to get away from me and go to boarding school, so I'm like, 'OK, go to boarding school', and then I moved right across the street. "You have to... Of course you wanna keep your eye on them these days... Who else is gonna wash his laundry and stuff?"

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?
Yes, please.

Back in April, it was rumoured that pre-pubescent rat boy Justin Bieber had shot a bunch of Calvin Klein ads with Pimp Mama Kris’s backup-Kim Kendull Jenner, but nobody really paid it much thought, since those two attention-desperate teens are always taking pictures in their underwear. But it looks like the rumours were true. The Daily Mail says that Calvin Klein has gone ahead and spit on the legacy of Marky Mark and his funky bulge by hiring Jack Gleeson’s non-union Canadian equivalent to be the baby face of an upcoming campaign. A Calvin Klein source (whatever the hell that is) told The Daily Mail that Justin Bieber has shot for Calvin Klein and that they “hope the results will be released later this year” and that Baby Bieber’s campaign will be used to launch CK’s new line of upscale potty training pants (needs verification). Calvin Klein has a rich history of hiring jailbait-looking models for their underwear ads, so it makes sense that they’d hire eternal toddler Justin Bieber to pose in his pull-ups. But it does feel a little weird having Justin model underwear when I’m not entirely sure his balls have dropped yet. Or maybe they really ARE launching a line of CK Juniors? Regardless, Chris Hansen should probably keep his schedule free for “later this year”. . from dlisted
While Russian lawmakers have claimed the law is necessary to "protect children" from the dangers of homosexuality, the proposed law in the former Soviet nation of Kyrgyzstan law doesn't even try to couch its repression in a faux concern for youth. If passed, the Kyrgyzstani law would criminalize any positive comments about homosexuality, "sodomy, lesbianism, or any other forms of non-traditional sexual behavior," made through any form of electronic or print media to any person of any age.

During the Canada Day festivities Homophobic Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Ford was at one point confronted by local resident Joe Killoran — a Toronto-area teacher who was apparently out for a jog when he crossed paths with the mayor's entourage. Killoran hurled questions and accusations at Ford while the mayor's staff attempted to intercede. "Answer one of the million questions people have for you," Killoran said. "People have a million questions about your lying and your corruption." Ford did not respond to Killoran. Someone in the crowd asked if he was working for one of Ford's political rivals. "Do I look like I'm with a campaign?" Killoran, who was shirtless at the time, responded. "I'm an East York guy out for a jog." The more important question? Is this hairy bear hot or what? See video below for confrontation.

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
[quote]Syfy, Space and Temple Street Productions announced today that Hannah John-Kamen, who starred in the West End musical Viva Forever, Aaron Ashmore, who played Steve Jinks on the long-running Warehouse 13, and Luke Macfarlane, who portrayed Scotty Wandell in the popular Brothers and Sisters, have been cast as the leads in the upcoming original space adventure drama series Killjoys. [quote]From Temple Street Productions, the producers of Orphan Black, and Michelle Lovretta, the creator of Lost Girl who will serve as writer and showrunner, Killjoys follows a fun-loving, hard living trio of interplanetary bounty hunters sworn to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant system on the brink of a bloody, multi-planetary class war. Chris Grismer (Vampire Diaries) will direct the pilot and additional episodes. [quote]Commissioned by Space and produced by Temple Street Productions for Space and Syfy, the 10-episode, one-hour series will begin production in Toronto on August 5. Killjoys will premiere on Syfy and Space in 2015. [quote]In Killjoys, Hannah John-Kamen stars as the gorgeous, complicated, and deadly Dutch. A top-level Killjoy, she’s a much loved and charming presence in her community, with a unique gift for earning people’s trust and respect regardless of their class. Under her banter and protective flirtations, there is pain, maturity, and a deep solemnity resulting from a dark secret past. [quote]Aaron Ashmore takes on the role of John Jaqobis, a peacemaker who hates conflict. Cheerful and kind-hearted, John prefers not to fight, but his sarcastic wit has put him into the fray enough over the years to teach him how to do it well, and dirty. [quote]Luke Macfarlane stars as D’avin, a handsome, rugged, sarcastic, and incredibly loyal former soldier. He dreamed of enlisting in the military since boyhood, and his hard-won expertise in tactics, maneuvers and hand-to-hand combat make him an instant asset to the Killjoy team.

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

Just a few years ago, this jack-toothed queen was being arrested for sucking cock and buying coke/crack in Central Park. Now, he's like the British Wolf Blitzer on CNN. Omnipresent, refusing to go away, perpetually employed because, somehow, for some reason, he is considered their "aviation expert".. (Maybe he was a pilot at one point, or some air industry exec.?) He's a typical Brit, loving to sensationalize and tabloid'ize every sub-story of every story. Yesterday, he actually interrupted Anderson Cooper by saying, regarding the air crash victims' bodies being returned to the Netherlands: "You know Ahndasun, today, we are ALL DUTCH!" - He was obviously ripping-off the famous French headline from 9/11, but he said it with such pride, certain he would make headlines for having come up with it, that you could see he was bursting with self satisfaction. Why is this person here? What is it about ethically questionable, universally disliked Brits that CNN insists on forcing upon us?
He is friends with Jeff because Jeff is Harry's agent, he is supposed to introduce him to a lot of important people in LA. Harry wants to be known as a songwriter, he wants to become 'friends' with people who can help him become famous as an individual when the time is there. You can keep calling Jeff his boyfriend, but that doesn't make it the truth. The only truth is that Harry is a smart ass who knows exactly how to charm the right people into doing a lot for him. Even if those people have their own agenda as well. Harry has talked his way right into the Azoff family. What more does he need? Well, maybe a secret girl- or boyfriend who loves him for who he is, and not for how famous he is. Someone who doesn't care about him being in LA all the time. So this person must have the possibility to see him, even though he is always staying at different places around the world. Someone whom he wants to stay faithful to, even though he knows that he could sleep with a lot of beautiful people. But why would a guy his age want to do that? Does that mean that his love interest is famous as well, and that he/she can pull the same card? Open your eyes, there is only one person who would fit in his life right now. He has never made a secret of his feelings.

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.

"The song she really hated was 'If I Could Turn Back Time,' but I held her leg down during a session and said, 'You have to record it!' " To which Cher responded, according to Diane Warren, "'Fuck you, bitch! You're hurting my leg! OK, I'll try it.' She gave me this look like, 'You were right.' If you look at Cher's song history, she's not always the best judge of her own material. I mean, she hated 'I Got You Babe.'"

Mmmm... This looks peculiar. Health survey gives government its first large-scale data on gay, bisexual population Less than 3 percent of the U.S. population identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday in the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’ sexual orientation. The National Health Interview Survey, which is the government’s premier tool for annually assessing Americans’ health and behaviors, found that 1.6 percent of adults self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent consider themselves bisexual. The overwhelming majority of adults, 96.6 percent, labeled themselves as straight in the 2013 survey. An additional 1.1 percent declined to answer, responded “I don’t know the answer” or said they were “something else.” The figures offered a slightly smaller assessment of the size of the gay, lesbian and bisexual population than other surveys, which have pegged the overall proportion at closer to 3.5 or 4 percent. In particular, the estimate for bisexuals was lower than in some other surveys. The inclusion of the sexual-orientation question in an influential survey used to guide government funding and research decisions was viewed as a major victory for the gay community, which has struggled with a dearth of data about its special health needs.

The National Enquirer quoted the actor’s former personal secretary and a boyfriend of the pilot to back up the steamy, bombshell claims. “I did everything for him, including taking care of his personal and professional schedules. Of course I knew he was gay. It never bothered me,” one-time secretary Joan Edwards told the supermarket tab. Pilot Doug Gotterba, who now runs a charter plane service in Camarillo, Calif., would only confirm that he worked for Travolta for six years in the 1980s. "That's how I met Doug. We both worked for John at the same time. Doug is a wonderful guy and we are still good friends. He told me that John was gay and they had a sexual relationship," according to Edwards.
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.

If you ever happen to come across a Republican on television these days, chances are that you will hear the name Ronald Reagan. Recent Republican debates are the perfect example of the love fest that the current Republican party has for Reagan as each candidate name drops the former president at every turn. If you only listened to conservatives you would think that Jesus Christ was the only person above Reagan on the totem pole of conservative love. They talk about his love of low taxes, less government and conservative family values. The problem is that when you step out of the conservative dream and come back to reality, you find that not only was Ronald Reagan a bad president, but he was one of the worst presidents we've seen in modern times. Reagan's policies have destroyed the United States for three decades, and for the eight years he was in office, here are eight reasons why Ronald Reagan was the worst president of our lifetime. 1. Reagan cut taxes for the Rich, increased taxes on the Middle Class - Ronald Reagan is loved by conservatives and was loved by big business throughout his presidency and there's a reason for it. When Reagan came into office in January of 1981, the top tax rate was 70%, but when he left office in 1989 the top tax rate was down to only 28%. As Reagan gave the breaks to all his rich friends, there was a lack of revenue coming into the federal government. In order to bring money back into the government, Reagan was forced to raise taxes eleven times throughout his time in office. One example was when he signed into law the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Reagan raised taxes seven of the eight years he was in office and the tax increases were felt hardest by the lower and middle class. 2. Tripling the National Debt - As Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, the government was left with less money to spend. When Reagan came into office the national debt was $900 billion, by the time he left the national debt had tripled to $2.8 trillion. 3. Iran/Contra - In 1986, a group of Americans were being held hostage by a terrorist group with ties to Iran. In an attempt to free the hostages, Ronald Reagan secretly sold arms and money to Iran. Much of the money that was received from the trade went to fund the Nicaragua Contra rebels who were in a war with the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. When the scandal broke in the Untied States it became the biggest story in the country, Reagan tried to down play what happened, but never fully recovered. 4. Reagan funded Terrorists - The attacks on 9/11 by al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden brought new attention to international terrorism. All of a sudden, Americans coast to coast wore their American flag pins, ate their freedom fries and couldn't wait to go to war with anyone who looked like a Muslim. What Americans didn't realize was that the same group that attacked the United States on 9/11 was funded by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. Prepping for a possible war with the Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan spent billions of dollars funding the Islamist mujahidin Freedom Fighters in Afghanistan. With billions of American dollars, weapons and training coming their way, the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden took everything they were given and gave it back to the United States over a decade later in the worst possible way imaginable. 5. Unemployment issues - When Ronald Reagan came into office 1981, unemployment was at 7.5%. After Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, he began raising taxes on the middle and lower class. Corporations started to ship more jobs out of the United States while hiring cheap foreign labor in order to make a bigger profit. While corporations made billions, Americans across the country lost their jobs. As 1982 came to a close, unemployment was nearly 11%. Unemployment began to drop as the years went on, but the jobs that were created were low paying and barely helped people make ends meet. The middle and lower class had their wages nearly frozen as the top earners saw dramatic increases in salary. 6. Ignoring AIDS - By the time the 1980s came around, AIDS had become one of the most frightening things to happen to the country in recent memory. No one understood what AIDS and HIV really was and when people don't understand something, they become scared of it. The fear of the unknown was sweeping across the country and Americans needed a leader to speak out about this horrible virus, that leader never came. Instead of grabbing the bull by the horns and taking charge, Reagan kept quiet. Reagan couldn't say the words AIDS or HIV until seven years into his presidency, a leader not so much. 7. Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million Undocumented Immigrants - In today's GOP, the idea of any immigrant staying in the United States whether they are legal or illegal isn't something that conservatives embrace. What might shock them is that in 1982 Ronald Reagan gave nearly 3 million undocumented workers amnesty. The biggest reason for undocumented workers coming to the United States is because corporations hire them at a cheaper rate than they would an American citizen. All the laws that would have cracked down on companies who hire undocumented workers were, of course, removed from the bill. 8. His attack on Unions and the Middle Class - The Republican war on unions and the middle class has been heating up in states like Wisconsin and Ohio, but it has been going on for a long time. Unions are formed to give a united voice to the workers in an attempt to create fairness between the corporations and their employees. On August 3rd, 1981, PATCO (Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization) went on strike in an effort to get better pay and safer working conditions. Two days later, taking the side of business, Ronald Reagan fired 11,345 workers for not returning to work.

I keep it groomed nice and short but I'm thinking about going all the way. What do you guys think? (I'm super well built and have a big one, if it makes a difference.)
Is it possible? I keep thinking it could be possible, not in the sexual manner but in the romantic manner.
NO, this is not a hate racist question. I just want to know why they ALL pick and choose black men. It's rather odd, don't you think? Is there some sort of racial undertone going on with them?
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."
George Clooney attacks Daily Mail over 'irresponsible' story on his fiancée
She’s great at giving big smiles, pretending her personality is as sweet as her voice. It depends. If she’s talking to Ellen DeGeneres, well, of course she’s lovely and accommodating. But what if it’s a child in a wheelchair? There was a kid who had a wish. The wish was to meet her favourite star. So they made arrangements for it to happen at an event earlier this year where the star was promoting her show. They set up the wheelchair at the end of the red carpet, everyone had been informed, and then, when it came time for the moment, as soon as they started introducing her to her young fan, she cut off the handler, said, “NO”, and then walked away…even though the family had specifically flown there for the opportunity. She has ONE advocate. One. And that’s only because he made her. But since he’s caring less and less about that particular project, when that’s done, she won’t have any supporters left. Because no one can fucking stand her. (Lainey Gossip)
This time going after Adult Swim. The late night programming on the Cartoon Network, known as Adult Swim, plans to air the non-animated show "Black Jesus" portraying Jesus as a "black guy living in the hood." The show depicts him living in Compton Gardens and makes a mockery of our Lord. The foul language used in the trailer, including using the Lord's name in vain, is disgusting. In addition, there is violence, gunfire and other inappropriate gestures which completely misrepresent Jesus. This is blasphemy! "Black Jesus" is set to premiere on August 7 at 11:00 pm ET/ 10:00 pm CT, unless we intervene. Adult Swim plans to blaspheme Jesus on a weekly basis. This mockery will be similar to "South Park" and "Family Guy," but much worse since the entire program will be based on lies about Christianity. 1MM will defend our Savior because He is Holy! Adult Swim is obviously not a family network, and this program is set to air later in the evening when children should be asleep, but that is no excuse. Adult Swim has crossed the line by belittling the Christian religion with foul jokes. We need to send a loud and clear message to Adult Swim, its owner Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (a Time Warner Company), and all potential advertisers of "Black Jesus" that this kind of programming is insulting and completely unacceptable. Adult Swim is not ridiculing any other religion currently and wouldn't dream of mocking Mohammed or Muslims. If we speak with one voice now, we can keep this program from ever seeing the light of day. Christians must take a stand and not be silent. Networks like Adult Swim continue to mock Christianity, and we will not stand for it. Christians should no longer sit idly by and allow this blasphemy to continue without speaking up in protest. "Black Jesus" is anoher attempt to distort the truth about Christianity. There is power in numbers! Forward this to everyone you know in a fight to keep this show off the air.

Is he like a sex symbol or something? I keep hearing about him all the time. He doesn't do jack shit for me.
Gets a rave review in Guardian. I find it fascinating that Linklater kept the filming a secret for so many years (for those who don't know about the film, it chronicles the life of a boy and his family over 11 real years). He is a great director and I love that he is not a shameless self-promoter. He just sort of keeps it really quiet and announces his films when they're ready to be shown. Any other DLers like his work?

OK, I'm finally ready to get rid of cable because it just isn't worth the expense. I'm keeping cable internet, in fact I'm increasing the speed. So what now? What online TV services do you use/like best? My experience with Netflix was that it was mostly old direct-to-video movies no one wanted to see in the first place. One of the other services (Hulu?) wanted you to BUY newer movies instead of just watching them once. Hulu/ Vudu/ Amazon Prime/ Something else? What works for you?

Gurl, I love Aaliyah, but after a while nobody is going to care. Her family needs to get over themselves.
The tragic downing of MH17 brought forth instantaneous judgments, insinuations and accusations on the part of the highest of U.S. officials. This kind of careless and reckless shooting from the hip, based on little or no solid information, has been a characteristic of American leaders at least since George Bush’s propaganda campaign that launched the Iraq War. Whatever happened to careful measured assessments of situations? Whatever happened to maturity? Whatever happened to patience? Whatever happened to withholding judgment until facts could be ascertained? And, within government, whatever happened to the capacity of executive officials to listen to intelligence reports and interpret them with intelligence, as opposed to spinning stories without basis in fact? These all have fallen. Truth has fallen. Objective truth has fallen. What has risen in its place? The creation of false realities by the U.S. officials. They have discovered that they can produce fiat reality by their own words.

Believe it or not, people with this affliction, at their very core, are the inverse of the narcissist. People with BPD start out 'too sensitive', too empathetic. People with borderline personality disorder empathize to the point of pain. When the highly sensitive person grows up in a very non-validating and/or abusive environment, with a history of trauma, BPD can manifest. In order for borderline personality to develop, an invalidating environment with and a highly sensitive person MUST BE present. What is going on in a Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer's mind and how they are acting can be two entirely different things. To the sufferer, BPD is about deep feelings, feelings often too difficult to express, feelings that are something along the lines of this : If others really get to know me, they will find me rejectable and will not be able to love me; and they will leave me; I need to have complete control of my feelings otherwise things go completely wrong; I have to adapt my needs to other people's wishes, otherwise they will leave me or attack me; I am an evil person and I need to be punished for it; Other people are evil and abuse you; If someone fails to keep a promise, that person can no longer be trusted; If I trust someone, I run a great risk of getting hurt or disappointed; If you comply with someone's request, you run the risk of losing yourself; If you refuse someone's request, you run the risk of losing that person; I will always be alone; I can't manage by myself, I need someone I can fall back on; There is no one who really cares about me, who will be available to help me, and whom I can fall back on; I don't really know what I want; I will never get what I want; I'm powerless and vulnerable and I can't protect myself;. I have no control of myself; I can't discipline myself; My feelings and opinions are unfounded; Other people are not willing or helpful. To the family members, BPD behavior is often very frustrating can feel unfair and punitive - something like this: You have been viewed as overly good and then overly bad; You have been the focus of unprovoked anger or hurtful actions, alternating with periods when the family member acts perfectly normal and very loving; Things that you have said or done have been twisted and used against you; You are accused of things you never did or said? You often find yourself defending and justifying your intentions; You find yourself concealing what you think or feel because you are not heard; You feel manipulated, controlled, and sometimes lied to.
I'm counting on DL to point out the differences. I've avoided getting involved with bisexual men for years - not for any issue with their own sexual orientation but because, based on my experiences, I've always felt they were different from gay men. But I met a really great guy and we're very attracted to one another. So I thought I'd break my rule and give it a go. We've had a few dates and have a lot of chemistry. I've made it clear that I'm not a bottom, that I'm versatile, that I'm gay and that I'm a grown man. I feel strongly that his sexuality shouldn't define mine in a limiting way. I've been pretty persuasive about the joys of ass play and I haven't been aggressive and have promised to take my time with him, etc. His comfort level is my highest concern. And he has a gorgeous ass. But he's a bit of a tease, a bit coy. He says things like, "If you're lucky, maybe I'll let you do this...," etc. I suppose a certain amount of negotiation is to be expected but it makes think what I've always thought about this equation - bisexual men just want to control everything. Any experience here?
Let's keep it 100, most guys are going to keep you at arms length once they figure out your sexuality. Now I'm not super feminine, but after talking to me, you can kinda feel me out and get the idea that I'm gay. I really felt like I was developing a friendship with this guy in Bio lab, but lately, I'm noticing that he keeps his distance. For instance, I'll try and engage him and ask him about the lecture and he responds with short sentences. When I first met him, he was so chit-chatty, but now I'm lucky if he gives me a head nod. I have a theory that once he added me on Facebook, he saw the "interested in men" on my page, so it probably freaked him out. I just wish guys could let their guard down around gay dudes, because most of us are chill and have good intentions, but society tells guys my age to avoid the "gay". I hate having to settle being friends with just females. Most chicks think that because you're gay, you wanna hear about all their "girly" problems, but that shit is boring to me. Before I came out, I used to have a gang of straight guy friends, but now that I'm out, it's weird seeing how my social circle was forced to change.
I took a cooking class and I thought the chef was a hottie. I saw him in his t shirt before he put on the white coat and felt lust in my heart. He did not really flirt back but seemed receptive with smiles etc. \ \ When he left the room for a minute one of other students who knew him told me that he was straight and very married. \ \ After the class I apologized and he said that one should never apologize for being complimentary and kind. I think he meant it. \ \ I wish everyone felt this way.

A recent article on Slate.com about a Reddit subgroup known as "Gaybros" inspired the above conversation on HuffPost Live. Urban Dictionary defines a Gaybro as: "A gay man who acts masculine and is interested in guy stuff like sports, video games, military issues, grilling, knives, gear, working out, gadgets, tech, etc…" but also: "Young masculine homosexual males who exhibit no effeminate characteristics or interests and make a point of going on about how 'normal' they are. Previously they would have refered to themselves as straight acting but that's so 2005. Gaybros have no gay friends because they can't relate to other gay people. This is something else they insist on telling everyone." HuffPost Live invited the founder, Alex Deluca, as well as Tim Karu, a moderator of the Gaybros subreddit, to chat with HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, HuffPost Live Producer Mitchell Williams and HuffPost Gay Voices Editor Noah Michelson about the controversial Reddit group. In the clip above, Williams and Michelson discuss why they find the idea of the Gaybros movement somewhat troubling. What do you think about Gaybros?

Just 1.5% of Britons say they are gay or bisexual The Office for National Statistics figures, described as experimental, were produced from questions on sexual identity included in the large-scale Integrated Household Survey. Nearly 170,000 people answered questions on their sexuality. The self-acknowledged gay population, according to the estimates, is the same as last year and slightly up on numbers produced by similar surveys in 2010. According to the findings, 1.5 per cent of men say they are gay and 0.7 per cent of women identify themselves as lesbian.

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

i just saw his segment on CNN , Any info , Gay ,straight ,Bi ? His biracial and a total hottie .
The website says: There's nothing quite like the sexy, silly, naked, stupid bromances of the "Pad". It's a bunch of mostly-straight, ab-tastically hot, college-age guys living in an enormous fake-Tuscan mansion in Arizona. I don't believe they're straight.
I have to say honestly that it seems to be a myth. If anything, they're normal size for the most part. I don't know where this stereotype came from. I've seen one study where the black penis was half an inch larger than the white, but that's not saying much. I've seen white guys with humongous cocks. I have seen black guys with really big dongs, but not as a rule. It's sad that it seems to be that black guys can only get jobs in porn if they live up to their stereotype, while white guys can be all different shapes and sizes in the genital department. For the whores out there, what's been your experience with white vs. black cock? Is one bigger? The same? It should be noted that whites come from all different backgrounds. That could be where the discrepancy comes from. On and off topic, they've found that gays have bigger penises on average than their straight counterparts. I call bullshit on that one too, but that's another topic.

He's a retired intellectual property lawyer. Good-hearted and well-meaning. But GD it, just about every time I go out onto my patio (he lives next door) to water plants or clean stuff up (multiple times per week, depending on weather -- more, obviously, in the growing months), he suddenly 'appears'. He has this booming voice and yells HELLO! so loud (to announce himself) I practically crap myself. I know he isn't trying to be cute and sneak up on me, but it amounts to it. Don't like that. Also don't like being bugged when I'm doing yard work. I don't have a gate and it wouldn't be practical/aesthetic to put one in. The few times I have ventured onto their yard, uninvited, to chat with him and his wife, I haven't been received well. I got the message: it's OK for him to invade my privacy, but not vice versa. I gotta tread light with this guy and his wife. I take off during the year for weeks at a time and they take care of mail, cats, etc. while I'm away. I do the same for them when they travel. Yes, he's probably bored and lonely, but damn it, so am I sometimes and I don't go bugging people uninvited. I'm beginning to hate going out to water. I've tried the body English thing and being somewhat brusque, but he doesn't seem to get it. Sorry this is so long. Solutions? Suggestions? I've thought about turning the hose on him, but that's not practical, ha ha! TIA!
They always shoot in these massive houses, uh, mansions. Are these their homes? Are these porn directors rich? I mean, can they be making THAT much money from a shitty porn site? Also, if it is their house, do they have special bedrooms for the fuck scenes? I mean, do they actually let the guys fuck on their living room sofa?

Those have/will follow her, what are your expectations? Will she still be able to deliver or has her time passed? She's already delayed it once but it appears she'll launch for real at 12pm ET today (9am PT). She'd mentioned some late breaking developments via her Twitter feed last night and wasn't giving details to the press. Perhaps it will be Deadline redux? My guess is that she'll now be affiliated with either Deadline or some other big web presence.
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?
She says she books 30 to 40 shows a year through her company "Heroes For Hire." [quote]"One day [her Buck Rogers co-star] Gil Gerard called and asked what I was doing, and I said I was going to Ohio to a sci-fi convention. And he was like, 'What is that about?' And when I told him, he was like, 'Can I go?' "Then Gil played golf with Marc Singer, who was in V and Beastmaster, and Marc called me up and said he wanted to go too. "Gil said, 'I'll pay you 10 percent,' and I was like, 'No, I'm your friend.' 'Oh I'll make you work for it.' And sure enough he did. (Laughs.) Booking his flights, his car service.

Canada is proposing to strip citizenship from people found guilty of some serious crimes, even someone born in Canada, but who for whatever reason also holds the citizenship of another country. The classes of crime in question are serious: treason, terrorism and specific military crimes such as spying for the enemy in time of war. But however serious the offence, when someone is born here, he or she is Canadian, for good or ill. Not anymore if Canada has anything to do with it. With more and more terror babies born in Canada, the government will now have to option to STRIP citizenship from Canadian born criminals, and ship them to the country they hold dual citizenship with!

Never mind your personal favorites and who you have a fondness for. Who are the actresses who have caught the imagination of audiences and the business, affected how other actresses look at their acting, and spun imitators? I say, for starters (and I don't even much like some of them): Faye Dunaway Julie Christie Julia Roberts Jodie Foster Who else? (In the period immediately before this, and into this period, too, there also were Audrey Hepburn - enormously influential - and Liz Taylor, among others.)

Fabulous show! Just saw them in Los Angeles. Adam Lambert is perfect as a stand-in for Freddie Mercury. He twirled, strutted and preened like Cher imitating Liza Minnelli. He worked the runway like Naomi Campbell circa 1995. And he sang/screamed the sh*t out of those songs. Queen performed all of their best-known songs. There were even very nice Freddie Mercury visuals throughout the show, including Adam and Freddie duetting part of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Crowd was 60% for Queen and 40% for Adam and everyone left happy. It was the absolute opposite of the train wreck that you vicious DL b*tches predicted.

There are rumors that Putin's presidential plane flew a similar route to that of the Malaysian airliner within 37 minutes of one another. This report has led to speculation that Washington decided to rid itself of Putin and mistook the Malaysian airliner for Putin's jet. RT reports that the two airplanes are similar in appearance.

Although it has been around earlier than that, we have known about the existence of AIDS since 1981. Since then, we have come up with new drugs to combat it. But we still don't have a cure, and gay men are still seroconverting. Why? Is it ignorance of tried-and-true prevention methods (don't whine about lack of access when there's more access to HIV/AIDS education materials now than there's ever been) or just the inevitable result of self-destructive tendencies caused by internalized homophobia?

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."

A Facebook friend of mine (44 years old) just posted pics of her nineteen-year-old son and one of his "bros," and they were both wearing black grandpa socks-- the kind that go halfway up the calf-- with white beach shoes, tee shirts, and shorts. No, they aren''t nerds. They''re jocks. All the "grown-ups" are making fun of them in the comments, but the mom says her son insists this is the look now.

If not, why do chicks starting screaming so soon when a penis is inserted? Why doesn''t the guy start screaming like crazy too through the entire thing like the chick? Not all women can be faking it. The penis and vagine are suppose to be made up of the same material. I would love to get a feel for whatever these women are experiencing getting fucked in the pussy. For guys, it can never feel "that good". Guys get the rush when they cum finally. Not fair.

...... or know what it's called? My great grandmother use to tell a story about cheating death. When she was young and living in Jerusalem she became very sick and her parents were told she would die. Her mother went to her rabbi who found a woman who was conected to their temple who taught her how to perform a ritual that changed my great grandmother's name so the Angel of Death couldn't find her. She survived and fifteen years later her husband's doctor found that he had cancer.. She was told there was nothing that could be done to save him, he would soon die. She performed the name changing ritual to trick the Angel of Death and he lived for another ten years. I had thought that the ritual/ceremony was just one of her stories but I've heard versions of the same story from several people over the years, primarily from people who had lived in Jerusalem. Has anyone heard of this? Or know what it's called?
I was reading about how self-proclaimed uber-gay Leo Domenico and Mitch Vaughn have girlfriends, even though they claim to be gay. Honestly, don't you feel weird about "gay" men who lie about their sexual orientation and in reality are into women?

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

The pop-star Lana Del Rey denied this week that she had “slept her way to the top”. This was the patient response to an interviewer’s question about her song, “F***ed My Way Up To The Top”, in which Lana addresses the sort of wholly idiotic, culturally acceptable trope that occurs whenever a young-ish woman is found being successful at, well, literally anything. “It’s a commentary,” Lana explained, coming across in print as more affable than I’d be during similar dimwitted probing. She wasn’t, Lana underlined, saying she DID sleep her way to the top, she was saying she was aware of that general tedious mumbling which drips from people’s mouths whenever a woman has acquired something another man - and often another woman - hasn’t. Yes, women are just as guilty of this. It drips from our gobs so freely when we’re faced with our own shortcomings. The mythical concept of the all-powerful, bewitching vagina which can give leverage to any pay deal or promotion is so entrenched in earthly society that even women stare at other women’s success and mutter, “Who did she sleep with to get that?” Obviously, nobody glances at William Adams - Will.i.am - who is currently enjoying the financial boost of being a partner in Beats headphones - recently acquired by Apple for $3bn - and mutters, “Pfft, who did he sleep with to get his place in THAT meeting?” Nobody glances at Will, feeling a mixture of jealousy, admiration and vague insecurity at their own relatively petty successes and invents a story, to comfort themselves, in which Will.i.am has probably slept with a lot of music industry men. And that these imaginary music industry men flipped open their laptops and said, “That was delightful. Now, how can I reward you for this?” Nobody supposes this about successful men because when men’s achievements are focused upon, people are generally wholly reasonable and logical about the hard work, talent, determination, sacrifice and steely will it requires to rise higher than other humans. Of course, people don't think that a man can screw another man and then the next day demand a job. Because, outside of wibbly wobbly porn land, how does this work exactly? Isn’t it more likely that the shagger would actually want rid of the shagee from his daily life once the act had taken place? READ MORE: LANA DEL REY: 'I HAVE SLEPT WITH A LOT OF GUYS IN THE INDUSTRY' LANA DEL REY: THE LATEST POWERFUL WOMAN THAT WE WANT TO SEE AS JUST ANOTHER TOY Is the shagger going to explain to all his underlings that an unqualified person is taking the role because of a sexual encounter several months ago that he's still paying installments on via a meeting here, a reference there, a promotion later. Nobody says this about men, because, logically, it makes no bloody sense at all. You can’t “shag your way” anywhere. Yes, you can flirt your way - men and women - into a lot of places. Light flirting oils the squeaky wheels of commerce the world over. But having sex with people is a guarantee of nothing. If a sexual act acted as a binding document of trust then women wouldn’t have been sitting beside telephones waiting for him to call since approximately 1877. I sat at a dinner recently amongst intelligent sorts hearing a very successful female friend being picked to pieces over her reported sexual history. A number of potato-shaped men were framed for 'giving her one' and thus boosting her financial acumen.

Out of all the homophobic actors out there--and I’m sure their numbers are legion--Jensen Ackles irritates me the most. I don’t understand the gay men who worship him. He’s undeniably good looking but he can’t open his mouth without making a homophobic comment. What kills me is that gays everywhere take up for him just because of his looks. “Oh, he didn’t mean it that way;” or “Oh, it was just a joke;” or “Oh, you’re taking his comments too literally;” bullshit like that. Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me??? I’m sorry but affecting a lispy high-pitched voice while ineffectually slapping at someone OVER AND OVER AND OVER, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME, IN EVERY POSSIBLE CONTRIVED SITUATION isn’t funny. It isn’t a joke. And, similarly, using the word “gay” or “pansy” as a derogatory adjective in interviews isn’t okay either. Those things are evidence of a belief, people, an attitude toward gays, and I’m sick of guys lusting over him. I’m 46 and own my own architectural firm, and I have 6 architects working for me. Two of them are gay and about 10 years younger than me, and I had listen to them all goddam night go on about this guy. Even on DataLounge his name pops up constantly. It’s like a bunch of freakin’ yeshiva boys jonesin’ to blow motherfuckin’ Hitler. I don’t know what Ackles makes per episode, but word is that he clears 40k to 50k for an appearance at a “Supernatural” convention. So far this year he’s done twelve. On top of that, once he’s there he charges for meet-and-greets and photo ops, and it’s gays who are putting a lot of that money in his pocket. (Unless you’re [i]too[i/] gay. Then there’s no photo because he won’t pose with you.) Gays are also the ones glued to their tv sets each week, boosting his show’s ratings while they queer every gaze between him and his on-screen brother. [i]Idiots.[i/] This guy doesn’t even have the testicular fortitude of Sabrina the Teenage Witch! He won’t just come out and say what he thinks about gays, gay marriage or even politics because he knows it would hurt his career. In fact, his wife will re-Tweet stuff showing mild LGBT support just to muddy the waters and throw people, most likely Hollywood producers, off their GOP scent. However, the latest is that Stone Park Trust, the same trust that owns his Brentwood property--the same trust for which he’s the trustee--has allegedly made past donations to NOM, Prop 8 and Romney’s campaign, so anyone who thinks Ackles isn’t a Republican is nuts. His wife’s Twitter page practically spells it out, along with their very devout “I love me some Jesus” status. “Jensen’s favorite book is the Bible;” “His favorite actor is Jim Caviezel;” “His favorite time of year is Easter.” Blah, blah, blah. Man, I got nothing against anyone’s religion or their personal beliefs about gays and lesbians. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn’t mean that I have to buy their product or watch their show. I’m not going to further any actor’s career so they can fight harder against my rights. And I’m sure not going to give someone like Ackles a starring role in my fantasies. I mean, compare his douchebaggery with the incredibly respectful and classy comments George Clooney made about constantly being called gay. Night and day. Night and day. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE HOMOPHOBIA, PEOPLE. STOP LUSTING OVER ASSHOLES.

Sarah Palin: ‘True Blood’ wanted a cameo By SARAH SMITH | 7/23/14 2:34 PM EDT HBO’s “True Blood” found itself back in the political spotlight Tuesday when Sarah Palin revealed she declined a request to make a cameo on the show. “The brilliant minds of ‘True Blood’ were brazen enough to ask me to do a cameo on their show, apparently so they could insult a conservative woman in person instead of just all conservative women in general,” Palin told conservative website Breitbart News. “To producers who throw these deceitfully ‘flattering’ bones that sound fun on the surface, is it really any wonder I don’t accept your offers to participate in your shows?” While Palin conceded that the offer wasn’t made in any “negative way,” she decided to decline regardless. “I’d put any mama grizzly in America against a vampire any day; for only one of them actually exists,” she said. The hit vampire show made waves in the Beltway after last Sunday’s episode featured a fictional fundraiser for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) at the George W. Bush Presidential Library. The Texas Republicans who gathered to see Cruz — unsurprisingly to those who follow the show — were brutally murdered. The real-life Ted Cruz was not amused. “Sunday night, they aired a misogynist and profanity-ridden episode where Texas Republicans are murdered attending a ‘Ted Cruz fundraiser,’” Cruz wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday. “Well, I’m sorry to have lost the vampire vote, but am astonished (and amused) that HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends….”

Just when you thought ladies fashions couldn't get even more peculiar...
Cannes Leonardo DiCaprio who famously dated supermodels Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli and Erin Heatherton seems to be losing his touch. A few months ago his advances were rejected by 25 year-old Next model Heather Hahn in New York. At Cannes, where the 38 year-old Great Gatsby actor was greeted as a conquering megastar, he did not seem to have the same effect on 20 year-old British model of the moment Cara Delevingne. According to Life & Style... "Leo kept hitting on her at the 'Great Gatsby' bash at Cannes ... He even lunged at her at one point, and she dodged him ... He was begging her to go back to his hotel room, but she declined."
This 20 something year old femme, Grammy-award winning songstress and sometimes actress has been a beard for a number of singers and A'listers in a desperate attempt to suppress her lesbianism. Although she is a fearless advocate, and generous supporter, she is worried how her fans would react and more importantly her record label if she were to come out. She prefers to take her girlfriends for trysts to Europe, during breaks from touring, because she thinks she would be safer.

Here is the rule of the Internet: If you combine two bizarre, viral things, you are going to get something even more bizarre and viral. In this case, it's hipster beards and flower crowns. Although hipster beards may have peaked and flower crowns may have withered away during the polar vortex, the two trends have come together to unleash an unstoppable new style for meme hairy hipster dudes everywhere: flower beards. That's right: Bearded men across the country are taking advantage of the good weather to pick some flowers to adorn their faces. The combined effect is, shall we say, peak hipster.

And I don't mean just because he plays a child's game for a living. Here in New York, people are acting like he's a beloved family member because he plays for the hapless Mets. Everyone says he's such a great guy. He looks great ... not arrogant at. He's self-effacing. He acts like he deserves to be "Miss July" in a car repair shop calendar. He gives gift baskets of his baseball memorabilia as a consolation prize the morning after he autographs them. That's after giving them the gift that keeps on giving: a rear view. Plus, he's looking real great of late. His face looks like a model's. I can believe he's pulling a genuine one over everyone. He has somehow convinced people that he's worthy of a second look.

Lucie Roussel, the mayor of La Prairie, was 51, according to a release issued by the city. Roussel had served as mayor since 2003. A lawyer by training, Roussel is survived by her two children, Constance, 20, and Antonin, 19. Roussel was attacked by approximately 15 wasps, according to a spokeswoman for La Prairie, Chantal Charron. However, Charron said the mayor was not allergic to wasps. Canadian broadcaster CTV spoke with Roussel's former colleague Reine Hebert, who spoke of the loss. "I'm thinking about her family. They lost their father a few years ago. You can't do that to the family. I mean it's so sad." Hebert continued, saying "It's sad for the people, it's sad for her two children, for the whole city." Several politicians expressed their condolences online after word of Roussel's death became public, including the mayor of Montreal, Denis Coderre, who tweeted about the death, saying it was "very sad," and offered his condolences to her family and her two children. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

Anyone watching this guy now? I want to sew his mouth shut. God, the camera guy must have ear plugs in and and plastic covering his face from all the spit coming out of Sharpton's mouth. Learn English, fool!
I seriously don't want to spend time with most people anymore even friends who I think pretty highly of. I just want to go out alone or spend time with my cat. Anyone else ever go through this? I feel like an asshole for always saying no to plans but bring around people makes me unhappy. Is this how ill probably be the rest of my life?
Those of you with smart TVs or streaming and who have discontinued cable service, are you happy with your decision? Have you felt you are missing out on anything that was a normal part of your viewing before discontinuing cable? I'm thinking in particular of local news and/or several of the news stations (MSNBC, CNN, etc.) Would love to be able to save almost $200 per month!

Which very well-known celebrity reporter, who has turned himself into a bit of a star, has a very kinky profile and naked pictures on a gay hookup site? Naughty But Nice Rob saw the images – our eyes are burning – showing him totally naked and very excited. It was shockingly thick and around 9 inches. His profile reveals he likes kinky group sex and “anything goes.” He adds that he doesn’t smoke but does do drugs. Additionally, he writes that he is on the “HIV-preventing miracle drug” PrEP, so he doesn’t practice safe sex! Guess who? Trust me, you know him!
There will be a lot less Glee for Chris Colfer/Kurt fans as the Fox series enters its final season, with the original cast member’s sudden announcement that he will not be continuing with the show. “Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of GLEE,” Colfer tweeted on Thursday. “Explanations will come shortly…” Colfer had been with the show since its trumpeted May 2009 debut, and during his run has collected a Golden Globe award and a pair of Emmy nominations for his portrayal of Kurt Hummel. More to come….

I just finished the book "Thing of Beauty" (which I recommend) It's a great look at a different era. It was sad how many people in her life insisted that she couldn't be gay b/c she was so pretty. It also sounded like her narcissistic mom really did a number on her and made her a raging borderline. It sounded like there was some growth. Did any of you know any of these characters? I'm particularly fascinated by Way Bandy and some of the photographers. Also, the book didn't say it, but I get the distinct impression that Patti Hansen was the one who introduced her to heroin.

It would be difficult to come with a more on-the-nose metaphor for New York City's income inequality problem than the new high-rise apartment building coming to 40 Riverside Boulevard, which will feature separate doors for regular, wealthy humans and whatever you call the scum that rents affordable housing. Extell Development Company, the firm behind the new building, announced its intentions to segregate the rich and poor to much outrage last year. Fifty-five of the luxury complex's 219 units would be marked for low-income renters—netting some valuable tax breaks for Extell—with the caveat that the less fortunate tenants would stick to their own entrance. The city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development approved Extell's Inclusionary Housing Program application for the 33-story tower this week, the New York Post reports. The status grants Extell the aforementioned tax breaks and the right to construct a larger building than would ordinarily be allowed. According to the Daily Mail, affordable housing tenants will enter through a door situated on a "back alley." Any of the unwashed folk who complain about such a convenient arrangement, of course, are just being ungrateful. As the Mail points out, fellow poor-door developer David Von Spreckelsen explained as much last year: "No one ever said that the goal was full integration of these populations," said David Von Spreckelsen, senior vice president at Toll Brothers. "So now you have politicians talking about that, saying how horrible those back doors are. I think it's unfair to expect very high-income homeowners who paid a fortune to live in their building to have to be in the same boat as low-income renters, who are very fortunate to live in a new building in a great neighborhood." In these economically fraught times, it's easy to forget that the super rich earned their right to never see you, hear you, smell you, or consider your pitiful existence. Expecting them to share an entrance would be unfair.
NYC Approves Apartment Building With Separate Entrance for Poor People
I know she''s not everyone''s cup of tea, but I''m personally glad to see her career in recovery mode. Robert Downey Jr and Lindsay Lohan did far worse things yet they were able to find work...why was Winona treated like an outcast following her arrest? All she did was steal some designer scrunchies and socks. \ \ Anyway, I''ve been a fan of her since I was 6 years old (Beetlejuice!) and even though people make fun of her acting, I''ve always found her to be tremendous (even in crap like Bram Stoker''s Dracula).

I can picture Warren running as the VP candidate in either '16 or '20. Or the presidential candidate in '20 I ran across this recent picture of Annette Bening and had to do a double take.

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.

Why he could be gay/bi: 1. He hangs with the "gay posse" Colton Haynes, Matthew Morrison, JC Chasez, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgely, etc. 2. He LOVES Les Mis 3. There've been rumors about him and Penn Badgely, him and Colton Haynes, etc. 4. Not linked with any girls recently. Why he could be straight: 1. He might hang with the "gay posse" simply because they all have the same manager? 2. There's just not much evidence on his Twitter that he's into guys or into gay interested, as opposed to Jonathan Bennett, who follows EVERY hot guy on Twitter. 3. He had a fucking BEARD recently (the hairy kind, not the female kind). I don't know any gay guys that grow facial hair! How come Shawn Pyfrom hasn't been acting lately? What has he been up to?

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.

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.

Beyoncé and Jay Z have more than 99 problems and only “divine intervention” can save the troubled marriage, a source close to the powerful couple has told The Post. While Jay Z seemingly is the one most at fault, he’s also the one doing all in his power to keep the couple together, even hiring marriage counselors who are believed to be traveling with the super duo on their tour, the source said. “They are trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing . . . This is a huge concert tour and they’ve already gotten most of the money from the promoters up front,” the source said. Despite the tens of millions the couple will pocket from the current tour, this will certainly be their last and the end of the tour could officially spell the end of the marriage, the source said. “There are no rings, if you haven’t noticed,” the source said, admitting that he thought things would get better after the birth of the couple’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. “For just a split moment, things got real for them and she was even talking about adding to the family,” the source said. “But, after a while, Jay was out doing Jay and Bey was out doing Bey. They made the classic mistake of thinking a child would change everything and help to rekindle the initial fire, and it didn’t.”
I just saw the episode where the woman won't leave Daddy's room because "he promised me marriage!" This is eventually thwarted by the woman's son hustling her away. Her son is a 45 year old complete dork, who seems absolutely TERRIFIED of Rose's bag of skimpy undies, fleeing in terror when she comes on to him. Are we supposed specifically to infer that he's gay?

Former friends Spike Lee and Michael Rapaport are now warring over gentrification in Brooklyn borough of New York City and the quality of films they pro due. Rapaport fired the latest verbal missile at Lee during a visit Tuesday to HuffPost Live. Rapaport, who is producing and directing his new film My Man is a Loser, denounced the filmmaker a “s— stain” who is playing the race card when he discusses gentrification in New York. Then, he went on to disparage Lee’s filmmaking career. “When’s the last Spike Lee film you saw?” Rapaport asked host Marc Lamont Hill. “Nobody goes to see them s—-.” Despite coming to talk about his new film, Rapaport instead appropriated the balance of his interview time addressing Lee, who during a May interview on HuffPost Live called Rapaport “stupid” and said he “doesn’t know what he’s f—— talking about.” Lee also discounted Rapaport’s talents as a director, to which Rapaport fired back Tuesday, “I’m going to see him sooner or later,” Rapaport said, which some took as a a threat. “I wanna see you say ‘you’re stupid and your movie sucks’ right to my face.” Lee, whose industry beefs are legendary and go way back to the time he slammed Morgan Freeman fiercely for his subservient role in Driving Miss Daisy, responded to Rapaport saying a month earlier that Spike Lee had no business talking about Brooklyn’s gentrification since Lee lives on the Upper East Side in the neighboring borough of Manhattan.

Does it all go back to him having acne as a teenager?
...when they forbade her from seeing her ne'er do well boyfriend? She just got a restraining order against him. MORRISTOWN, N.J. — Rachel Canning, the teenager who moved out of her parents' home and then sued them for support and college costs, has gotten a domestic violence temporary restraining order against her boyfriend — the man her parents had wanted her to stop seeing. Canning, who graduated from Morris Catholic High School this spring and is headed for Western New England University this fall on a $56,000 scholarship, accused Lucas Kitzmiller, 18, of choking her with his hands during a quarrel early this past Sunday morning, according to Canning's father, Sean Canning. The incident allegedly occurred after midnight Saturday into the early-morning hours Sunday. The alleged assault of Canning, 18, by Kitzmiller occurred on the street. She says that she fled in her vehicle — and that Kitzmiller tried to stop her — then she drove to Denville Police headquarters. She filed a domestic violence complaint against Kitzmiller and a temporary restraining order was issued by a municipal court judge based upon her allegations. Kitzmiller was not immediately available for comment. The pair are to appear Wednesday in Superior Court in Morristown for a hearing on whether the restraining order should be made final. Kitzmiller could agree to the restraints or a trial could be held where the order could be dismissed by the judge or Canning could seek its dismissal. Sean Canning said his daughter did not seek to file criminal charges against Kitzmiller, but the underlying basis of the restraining order is an alleged criminal act. Kitzmiller's relationship with Rachel Canning was one of the key areas of contention between her and her parents; they wanted her to break up with him, but she refused. She moved out of her parents' home to the residence of attorney John Inglesino, and in February his family and an attorney filed suit on her behalf requiring the Cannings to pay support and Rachel's upcoming college costs. The lawsuit attracted international attention but was withdrawn in March when Rachel Canning reconciled with her parents and returned home to Lincoln Park. Sean Canning said that since his daughter's return, the household has been peaceful and he and his wife had decided not to criticize Kitzmiller when Rachel continued to see him on an on-again, off-again basis. "She has repaired her relationship with us," Sean Canning said. "She went off the deep end in the past, but things are good now. We said to her 'Listen, you're an adult. You make your own choices.' " The actual domestic violence restraining order and complaint filed to receive them are considered confidential documents by the court.

[italic]Researchers in the US studied 36 dogs and found that most were indifferent when their owners ignored them and read aloud from a children's pop-up book. But when the owners showered their attention on a stuffed dog – or even played with a bucket with a face painted on the side – the dogs' behaviour changed dramatically. Video footage showed that when owners petted the stuffed toy, which barked and wagged its tail for effect, their dogs growled more and sometimes snapped and forced their way between the toy and their owner. A quarter of the dogs snapped at the stuffed animal, while only one snapped at the book and the bucket.[/italic] LOL

I really enjoyed it. I like Marco Berger's films. Hes relatively new to films. All his movies have yearning and lust in them. It's hot, and they're usually small budget which leads them to really focus on the characters and not the scenery. "Hawaii" did take place on an estate though with just two leads. Oh, and there was cock in it!
Did you just see a poor woman accidentally fall from a rope swing? If you did you’re a victim of a predatory passive aggressive personality type. This is the best example of a PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE PREDATOR at work. Do NOT feel sorry for this woman! She knew EXACTLY what was going to happen. This is the way she controls people. By GUILTING them into feeling so sorry for her they then become compliant with her needs. As soon as she lands she falsely exclaims “I can’t feel my legs…wahwahwah.. HOLD MY HAND.” He wasn’t going to hold her hand any other way. This woman is no victim, she is a PREDATOR! Manipulating someone else’s emotions and hurting yourself to make someone else feel bad in order to control them is especially rotten. Its a stunt done in thousands of ways by millions of people. There are sooo few “accidents”. Often accidents are simply someones repurposed rage. For example your neighbor “accidentally” forgets to water your plants while you’re on vacation and they all die. It wasn’t an accident. The person was resentful that you burdened them with this chore AND that you went on a vacation and passive aggressively punishes you by letting something you care that you’ve put in their hands without their request die. This case is similar but even more twisted. This woman knows that there is a VERY strong chance this will not end well but she’s willing to take the risk because of the potential of an opportunity to manipulate other people through their guilt. She takes the jump, suffers very real pain, and although she may consciously feel regret she could not be happier because her, potentially subconscious, plan of passive aggressive control of others has them hooked! She should be pushed off a higher cliff by children. This “victim” is CONNIVING! She’s the ultimate predator, willing to risk physical pain to have her needs met. She’s no different then any other mega sociopath. You just thought you saw a tragic woman hurt herself and you felt bad and maybe laughed. If you did, she tricked you. In either of those reactions she wins. I wonder if this woman is a candidate for Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy? Im pretty sure this behavior qualifies as Maunchausen Syndrome but the BY PROXY version is so much more INSIDIOUS! She’s definitely willing to hurt herself to make you feel bad so she can control you. Im forced to wonder if she would hurt others in order for you to feel bad and thus be able to control you as well. See, and here you thought you saw one thing, and it turns out it was something quite different entirely. All you needed to be was curious enough to look beyond the surface.

I have no idea who Sam Smith is, but that song is tiresome and sounds like it's being sung by a black drag queen with a church choir as backup. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can't get in my car and turn on the radio without this fucking awful, melodramatic torch song blaring. It's even played on rotation on the satellite top 100 streams. Apparently Sam Smith is a white guy, I just looked him up. Which makes this God-awful song even more irritating. MAKE IT STOPPPPP!

There's a bit of a hullabaloo going on right now about Secretary of State John Kerry being forced to go through a security check and metal detector before meeting with the Egyptian president. It seems a little unprecedented but it made me wonder, since the U.S. President is such a huge target, do foreign heads of state, (not necessarily those of the U.K. and Australia), but say, those from Middle Eastern Countries or even Russia or Africa, go through any physical screening prior to being allowed into the White House's inner sanctum and next to the President? How do such things work? Also, when the President is abroad and is meeting with a dignitary of the host country, does the staff and those close to that head of state have to go through U.S. Secret Service screening? I would suspect they do, but it would also seem highly offensive.
Are foreign heads of state security checked/frisked before meeting with President Obama?

The U.S. has really become a vile and ugly place. Observing what is happening with the immigrant children, people advocating violence against them...the frenzied hatred against Obama and his family and all Dems and liberals, for that matter...the police brutality against citizens (and animals...anyone been reading about how many pets have been shot by the cops in their own backyards lately?)...it just goes on and on. Sure, there are still a lot of decent people here, but it sure appears that the lunatics have succeeded in taking over the asylum. Have never seen it this bad, ever.
It's been seven months since Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete left The Talk, and now Remini is finally ready to spill the beans about their surprise exits. On Monday, Remini blamed co-host Sharon Osbourne, 59, for getting them axed from the CBS talk show. "Sharon thought me and Holly were 'ghetto'. . . we were not funny, awkward and didn't know ourselves," Remini, 41, tweeted. "She has the power that was given to her." (Remini was tweeting in response to a radio interview Osbourne had done with Howard Stern, 58.) Osbourne denied Remini's claims via Twitter Tuesday, saying: "In response to Leah Remini's continuous comments that I had her fired from The Talk, let me just go on the record to say I had absolutely nothing to do with her departure from the show and have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip." Leah knows that I have never been in the position to hire or fire anyone on the show," Osbourne added. "That being said, my only wish is that Leah would just stop all this negative, unprofessional and childish behavior. It's been seven months. . .it's time to move on. Leah is a very talented actress and I only wish her happiness and success." She concluded: "I know that better things are to come if she can just get beyond all this negativity." Remini didn't stop tweeting, though. On Wednesday, she argued that Osbourne "just wants publicity out of this" and said she has no intention of keeping quiet. "If someone wants me to stop, they should call a lawyer and tell them what I am NOT telling the truth about," Remini told her followers. "We can go from there."

Senator Tex Cruz (R-Texas) did not enjoy seeing his name pop up in last Sunday's episode of HBO's vampire series "True Blood." He responded to the reference in a Facebook message posted Tuesday. "Of all the places I never thought to be mentioned, HBO's True Blood vampire show would have to be near the top of the list. Sunday night, they aired a misogynist and profanity-ridden episode where Texas Republicans are murdered attending a 'Ted Cruz fundraiser,'" Cruz wrote. "True Blood" featured vampires preparing to attend a Cruz gala at the George W. Bush Presidential Library. Before the event, they dismissed the types of people who would be present. "You'll never get in. You're vampires. Security is going to be tight, and they only invite assholes," one of the characters says. "You don’t know us, sweetheart. We can be assholes," came the reply. After dressing up for the gala, a female character declares, "Oh my God! I am a Republi-cu**!" Cruz said the entire situation had confused him since he would have expected the film industry to depict vampires as conservatives instead of "hard-core leftists." "Well, I'm sorry to have lost the vampire vote, but am astonished (and amused) that HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends," he wrote. HBO did not immediately return a request for comment about Cruz's remarks.
Ted Cruz Did Not Like Seeing His Name In A 'Misogynist And Profanity-Ridden' HBO Show
Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story" series is known for pushing boundaries and scaring the hell out of viewers, and it looks like his latest installment is preparing to pack on the weird. FX CEO John Landgraf attended the TCAs this week and said fans of the show can expect a darker Season 4 than what they saw with "American Horror Story: Coven." “Some years it’s going to be big and bright and brash and campy the way 'Coven' is," Landgraf said. "Other years it’s going to be dark and brooding -- like 'Asylum' was. I guess I would put 'Freak Show' half-way in between the two. It’s got a little bit more humor and a little bit more camp, but its got a brooding period feel to it also." "Freak Show" is set to premiere in October and Murphy is bringing back stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates for the fourth go-around of the horror series. Taking place in Florida in the '50s, Landgraf promises the newest season has a very different look from what we've seen so far. "The characters are really distinctive, really original, some are really strange," Landgraf said, "but I think really compelling, I love what I’ve read so far.” Speaking of strange, if this set photo of Paulson playing conjoined twins Bette and Dot is anything to go by, we think anyone worried Murphy was losing his touch when it comes to terror should just relax. He's still got it.
Most of the time, litigation in federal court is pretty straightforward: Someone sues someone else; one side wins; the other side appeals. Done and done. Not so with the battle raging over Obamacare’s subsidies. In the wake of yesterday’s dueling court rulings, that fight – one with massive implications for the law’s future – has descended into an unusually complex legal chess match. The next move: Look for Obamacare’s challengers to run to the Supreme Court and ask it to hear the case now. The Obama administration, meanwhile, will be pressing the fight in a lower court and doing everything it can to stay out of the high court altogether. Obamacare’s future may depend on how willing the Supreme Court is to step in. * * * Yesterday’s rulings are about a key piece of the Affordable Care Act: the tax credits, or “subsidies,” the law provides to lower-income Americans who buy insurance through health exchanges. Those subsidies dramatically reduce the cost of insurance, making coverage possible for millions who otherwise couldn’t afford it. In New Jersey, for example, the average “sticker price” for a monthly premium is $465, or more than $5,000 per year – out of reach for those at the bottom of the income bracket. But most people who have signed up through Obamacare qualified for a subsidy – $317, on average – making the consumer’s cost just $148 a month. Without those subsidies, many new customers would not sign up. And without an influx of healthy new customers, the insurance market could face what health analysts call the “death spiral”: Only people who are already sick (and expensive to cover) would find health insurance to be a good deal and sign on, which would raise insurers’ average costs, which would lead to a big hike in premiums, which would push more healthy customers out of the market, and so on. That’s what makes yesterday’s rulings so important: If the law’s challengers prevail, subsidies will be unavailable in 36 states. The issue comes down to four words in the Affordable Care Act. When Congress drafted the statute’s tax-subsidy section, it wrote that insurance applicants are eligible for subsidies if they enroll through an exchange “established by the State.” But after the statute was enacted, 36 states refused to set up exchanges, so the federal government did it for them. Obamacare opponents have argued that in those 36 states, there is no exchange “established by the state” and thus those states’ residents can’t get subsidies. The administration has taken a different tack: In a ruling last year, the IRS concluded that federally-established exchanges stand in the shoes of state-established exchanges, and it made subsidies available nationwide. Obamacare opponents quickly challenged the IRS decision as unlawful – in direct conflict with what Congress wrote. That fight has been raging before a pair of federal appeals courts: the D.C. Circuit in Washington, D.C., and the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia. Yesterday, in a wild turn of events, both courts handed down their long-awaited rulings within hours. In the first ruling, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit sided with the challengers and ruled that the government cannot provide subsidies in 36 states. Soon after, a three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit came out the other way, siding with the IRS and ruling that, read in context, the statute authorizes subsidies nationwide. So what happens next? The government has already said what it will do: ask the full, 11-judge D.C. Circuit to rehear the case. The majority of those 11 judges were appointed by Democratic presidents, and so far, every judge to weigh in on the subsidies has voted along party lines. The administration thus has a decent chance of flipping the D.C. Circuit result. It is hoping, no doubt, that the case will end there. If both the D.C. Circuit and the Fourth Circuit end up siding with the government, and no court disagrees, then the best reason for Supreme Court review – a disagreement among the lower courts – disappears. The challengers, however, know that’s the government’s best play. That’s exactly why their next move is likely to run straight to the Supreme Court. They’ll appeal from the Fourth Circuit decision and ask the high court to take the case now and resolve the current split between the two appeals-court decisions. The government presumably will oppose that move, telling the Supreme Court to sit tight until the D.C. Circuit is finished. But the Supreme Court could decide to take the case now anyway. And if it does, watch out: The high court’s five conservatives may well be sympathetic to the challengers’ argument that the statute’s key words – “established by the State” – mean exactly what they say. Chief Justice Roberts, in particular, could adopt that position without contradicting what he said in the first blockbuster Obamacare litigation. The government’s best shot, in short, is to bar the door to the Supreme Court. Obamacare’s future hangs in the balance.

(ABC News) - A 5-year-old Massachusetts boy battling cancer said all he wants for his upcoming birthday is a box of birthday cards. Danny Nickerson, of Foxboro, Massachusetts, will turn six on July 25. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor this past October -- one of the most chemotherapy-resistant cancers. As a result, he has since stopped going to kindergarten. The boy gets lonely from time to time, and is always happy to get cards with his name written on them. “He can recognize his name now,” Carley Nickerson, Danny’s mother told ABC News. “When he saw his name on the package from magical fairies on Easter, he was so happy.” But the packages and cards stopped after Easter. “He had 33 radiations from November through December last year,” Nickerson said. “We are now getting chemo therapy every two weeks.” Doctors tell Nickerson that less than 10 percent of the children diagnosed with this type of cancer live longer than 18 months. “I don’t really believe in that. He is doing great,” Nickerson said. “Every day is a blessing for us,” So far, Danny has received about 40 letters. “I gave him to key to the P.O. box,” Nickerson said. “He was so excited when he opened it.” Nickerson said Danny loves Lego and Super Mario. “I wish Lego makes Super Mario toys,” Nickerson chuckled. “That would really make him happy.” Danny’s birthday is July 25. All cards can be mailed the Nickerson’s home addressed: Danny Nickerson, P.O. Box 212, Foxboro, MA, 02035.

People will bitch about my saying it, but the U.S. media is becoming dangerously controlled, influenced by and populated with Brits. From the NBC News president to news network talking heads to satirists to magazine, newspaper, blog editors and now presidents of major networks, able to influence coverage and public opinion. Sure, Aussies are there also, but it's Brits that are becoming a dominant force in fifth estate (U.S. media). No other country on Earth would allow such a strong positioning of Americans into their news media. Why isn't this ever talked or written about? It may seem harmless and, for now, it may be. But this is a risky thing to allow in the long run. The Brits are no doubt our friends and close cousins of American society, but in many ways, we're allowing our media to become compromised by outside influence.

He became a childhood favourite to a generation of fans when he starred in Boy Meets World. But while Ben Savage has returned to the role of Cory Matthews in a spin off show, he is doing it with a very different looking profile. For the 33-year-old appears to have had a nose job if his pointy looking schnoz on Girl Meets World is any guide. It is certainly a much different look to the rounded conker his fans know and love from his early days on the show. A long time in the making, fans are looking forward to seeing grown up history teacher Cory and his chemistry with daughter Riley, who is played by Rowan Blanchard and is the main character on the new show. Explaining the concept, Ben said: 'While fans of the show I think a lot of Boy Meets World fans are sort of expecting the show to pick up where it left off. 'And for us, really, I don't want them to be disappointed, but this show, Girl Meets World, is for a new generation. It's not so much a continuation of Boy Meets World as it's a brand-new slate for a brand-new generation of kids. However he said he is hoping that the programme can be enjoyed by the whole family. He said: 'Some of the best emails and notes and messages and tweets I've gotten are from former Boy Meets World fans who tell me how much they're excited about watching the new show with their own children. 'It's really a nice feeling to know that they grew up with us, and now their kids are going to get to grow up with Girl Meets World. Disney have just released the first trailer promoting the show's summer debut, and it shows Ben and on-screen wife Danielle Fishel bringing up their own family in New York City.

A Florida couple were arrested after they had sex on a public beach Sunday, according to WTVT Channel 13. Several children were among the stunned onlookers. Jose Caballero, 39, and Elissa Alvarez, 20, were charged with lewd and lascivious behavior. A woman recorded the incident and turned the video over to Bradenton police. "I've lived here since 1978, and I go to the beaches, and I've never seen anything like this," she told the TV station. Caballero is a personal trainer who served several years in prison for cocaine trafficking, according to the New York Daily News. To read the full story, go to myfoxtampabay.com.

There are no guests or preordained topics, just a freeform chat with his 2 co-hosts, but it's one of the most consistently entertaining and funny podcasts I've found. The reason why I'm posting about it here is not so much Frank himself but rather one of the 2 sidekicks, Emily Dean; she's a fashion editor in her day job, and has a very Datalounge sensibility - her partly self-ironic snobbishness often reminds me of this place.

It had to happen. Can Eddie fake continuous love and affection for the cameras? Their every move is followed by the tabloids. Now celebrity couple LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian will let their everyday lives play out on TV with their own reality series. VH1 has ordered LeAnn & Eddie (working title), a six-episode half-hour series to premiere on VH1 in Fall 2013/Winter 2014. Scott and Deirdre Gurney’s Gurney Prods., which is behind monster unscripted hit Duck Dynasty, is producing. LeAnn & Eddie will chronicle how singer-actress Rimes and actor Cibrian navigate their careers while also co-parenting Eddie’s two sons. It also promises for the duo to poke fun at what it’s like to be a high-profile couple with more than a little misinformation out there about them. “We are really excited to be working together on a unique show that will give you a glimpse into who we really are or better yet who we’re really not,” Rimes and Cibrian said. “We’re thrilled to partner with VH1 and The Gurneys to put our spin on a project full of love, humor and music.” Rimes and Cibrian will executive produce the series through Country Cuban Productions, along with the Gurneys, John Ferriter for Octagon Entertainment and Scotty Abrams for Maniac Filmworks and Music. “This is going to be a really fun show in which we hope to reveal what their lives are really like – from the normalcy of their home life, to what drives them artistically, to the chaos of their celebrity life,” said Tom Calderone, President of VH1.

is turning into the LMN, since Lifetime is abandoning that format As young girls, we wished upon a star that someday a prince – preferably one of TV royalty – would sweep us off our feet and we’d live happily ever after. But then we grew up and learned the hard way that heartthrobs can be real heartbreakers. In Investigation Discovery’s (ID) original new series HEARTBREAKERS, hunky Hollywood actors from the ‘80s and ‘90s reunite on screen to portray real-life dreamboats who turned into total nightmares. Directed and written in a sensational, Aaron Spelling-esque style reminiscent of classic primetime soaps, HEARTBREAKERS takes true stories ripped from the headlines to show what really happens when the perfect catch turns out to be the perfect criminal. Featuring Kevin Sorbo, Jack Wagner, Judd Nelson, Rob Estes, Tracey Gold, Nicole Eggert, Jamie Luner, Christopher Knight, and Antonio Sabato, Jr., HEARTBREAKERS makes its world premiere debut on ID on Wednesday, August 13 at 10/9c. “Our viewers simply cannot get enough true stories of love gone wrong,” said Henry Schleiff, Group President, Investigation Discovery, Destination America, American Heroes Channel and Discovery Fit & Health. “With HEARTBREAKERS, ID has hit on a unique hybrid that marries those true stories our viewers crave with all the romance and drama that they love in their favorite primetime soaps, featuring an amazing line-up of television and movie legends in the most over the top, deliciously devilish roles they have ever played.” HEARTBREAKERS is rooted in real stories that are already truly unbelievable on their own. The series also features interviews and behind-the-scenes commentary with the actual people involved, layering in context and additional information about each case. And not to disappoint, HEARTBREAKERS provides a nod to the actors’ previous lives in the primetime soap world, dropping little golden surprises that are sure to appeal to the fan’s sense of nostalgia: anyone for The Brady Bunch’s pork chops and apple sauce HEARTBREAKERS premieres on Wednesday, August 13 at 10/9c.

I live across the street from an apartment building. About an hour ago, some guy was arrested and dragged out of the building. Turns out he's the boyfriend of a tenant, and he was there to beat up one of her neighbours. He wanted to beat the woman up because she called the cops on his girlfriend. Apparently the GF was walking around in the parking lot around 11AM completely nude. It was a hot and sunny day, and she wanted to enjoy the sun, or so she explained. When the neighbour called the cops on her, she put up a fight. She was supposedly on meth during the altercation with the cops, and the nude walkabout. I was at work, so I missed the nudie show, but I got the entire BF arrest. I really hate this neighbourhood.

I am NOT "cisgendered." I reject that label. Why? From what I've read, "cisgendered" is a label that began in academic discourse as a way of describing people who weren't trans. But the meaning of it was akin to what we might call "normatively gendered." That means your gender identity is within a limited range of what society considers to be acceptably "normal." Normative is a word of negation and resistance. It rejects the boundaries delineated as "normal" by illustrating their discursive construction, i.e. not essential. However, while "cisgendered" operates within a broader language of gender as a means of description, it is also prescriptive and limiting. The reason I place it in quotations is because it sets up a binary that is antithetical to the purpose for which it is employed in popular discourse. If gender isn't binary, if it is fluid and can transgress boundaries, than a binary between cisgender and transgender cannot exist. If it does, then we must delineate what "real" transgender or "true" transgender means, and who is allowed to inhabit it. If "cisgendered" means your gender identity matches the social construct attached to the sex you were assigned at birth, than there cannot be a male gender identity that acts outside those normative social boundaries. And if you say there is variation on gender identity, but "cis-" just means you were born with a penis and identify and live as a man, than you negate the many variations on what it means to "be a man" or even to "live as a man." You are imposing your concept of those things onto me, enforcing a binary that is paradoxical. Moreover, you are denying the gender fluidity of those who have a penis and identify as male, but prefer women's underwear or wear makeup or transgress norms in innumerable other ways. Adding more labels -- like "cisgendered male transvestite" -- in order to justify your act of aggression defeats the purpose of simplifying things with words like "cisgendered." What is perhaps most disturbing in being called "cisgendered," is that it imposes an identity on me. Doing so invalidates my complicated experience of gender. Don't tell me that I am somehow normatively gendered for my body when my life experience has led me through periods of deep confusion about my gender identity and living as gender queer. How is living gender queer normative? How does that reconcile with the sex and gender roles society associates with having a penis? Moreover, you don't get to make a reductive statement about my gender identity or how I embody my gender while trying to argue for recognition of the diversity of other peoples' embodied genders. If you are going to argue for a less simplistic reading of others' embodied genders, than you have to do so with mine too. That includes recognizing that as a queer person, I'm automatically not inhabiting the normative roles society has constructed for those with a penis. My behavior, and sexual and romantic attachments aren't normative for "men." My intuitiveness isn't normative. My choices of profession haven't been normative. My mode of speech isn't normative.

Could life imitate art yet again, or -- more specifically -- could a title come true? Deadline Hollywood reports HBO is in talks with Lisa Kudrow and director Michael Patrick King to bring "The Comeback" back, the duo's comedy from 2005 that's become a cult classic. Though it only lasted one, 13-episode season, "The Comeback" earned respect from most critics and has developed quite the following since it went off the air. Recent successful resurrections have given new life to many TV shows with rumors constantly swirling of comebacks, "Arrested Develpment" being the most notable example. This makes the news of the Kudrow comedy's possible return even more apt. "The Comeback" was very much ahead of its time, being a single camera reality show spoof. Relevancy shouldn't be an issue, even almost a decade after its original airing. Valerie Cherish still has plenty to teach us. On March 19, Kudrow retweeted a Slate story suggesting "The Comeback" deserves another season. It even went so far as to suggest HBO should make it available on the company's streaming service, HBOgo.

He narrowly escaped a DUI charge last October, and now The Fosters star Jake T. Austin is facing a new set of legal troubles. The 19-year-old former Disney star has been charged with one count of misdemeanor hit and run following a four-car crash last November in Sherman Oaks, California, TMZ reports. According to the website, Jake's car - a 2010 Audi with New York number plates - reportedly drove into three parked cars around 3am, causing 'major damage' to the vehicles. The official incident report, obtained by TMZ, allegedly indicates the Audi is registered to the actor, whose real name is Jake Szymanski. Witnesses said that after the car crash, a passenger in the vehicle threw a bottle of vodka at a nearby building. Eyewitnesses also said they saw the people inside the car call a service to pick them up while another eyewitness said one of the passengers matched Jake's description. He faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted and a possible probation violation for his DUI.

ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 07/21 **#11** This actor used to be a comedian. He is B list now. He has been on a hit network show for what seems like forever. The past year or so though his life has gone downhill really quickly. Over the weekend our actor was at a hospital in NYC with a high risk wristband. There he was in clothes that were ripped and worn. He was looking as if he had not showered in weeks. He asked a passerby for help using a pay phone and couldn't figure it out and told the person he was having mental episodes and suicidal thoughts which is why he had the wristband. He said that he wanted to go home and to leave the hospital. He had no one with him, but was very kind to the person who helped him with the payphone. It was just a very sad sight to see for a guy whose character has meant so much for so long. Richard Belzer "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"

If she had not been into penised persyns, she would have been a Mitchfest Goddess. RIP. Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart, who has “embarked upon her silver ship to the Summerlands” aged 65, was a self-styled witch and High Priestess of the Church of All Worlds credited with coining the term “polyamory”, the practice of having a romantic relationship with more than one person, which has now entered the Oxford English Dictionary. With her husband, Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, she dedicated her life to studying the “Dark Arts”, helping him to run the world’s only registered wizard academy, the Grey School of Wizardry, in Sonoma County, California, where novices, split into four houses — Winds, Undines, Gnomes and Salamander — can learn such skills as alchemy, horse whispering, wand-making, spell-casting and advanced “mathemagics”. The pair first met in 1973 at a Gnostic Aquarian Festival in Minneapolis, where Oberon (then plain Tim Zell) was a keynote speaker on “Theagenesis”. They were married the following year in a pagan “handfasting” ceremony performed by Archdruid Isaac Bonewits and High Priestess Carolyn Clark. Shortly afterwards they won first prize in the “most primal” category at a fancy dress competition held at a Sci-Fi festival in Washington, DC. They lived first in St Louis, where Morning Glory studied Wicca, eclectic shamanism and Goddess history, and helped to produce and edit the neopagan magazine Green Egg. She was ordained a priestess in the Church of All Worlds, which her husband had founded in 1962. The Zells (they added “Ravenheart” later on) spent much of their early life together on the move, travelling around in a converted school bus which they named “The Scarlet Succubus”, before moving to a hippie commune in Northern California. They lived there for eight years, among other things raising “unicorns” by carrying out minor surgery on the horn buds of goats — a procedure which they attempted to patent. (more at link)

He seems to be quite forgotten, and doesn't get any credit for being one of the first gay American actors to come out - and as a former Disney star, no less. The fact that his sexuality was arguably one of the reasons why he was fired would only add to his potential gay icon status. Yet while, say, George Takei (who came out very late in life) is ubiquitious, Kirk has an extremely low profile. Do you think it's because his sexual history is too controversial, so today's PC gays would rather pretend he doesn't exist (or is it just a matter of personality)?
Delicious!
Looking at some of his movies, both animated and live-action makes me think so. There's no shortage of beefcake and gay-coded moments, and heterosexuality is depicted in the most chaste manner possible. Hell, "Someday My Prince Will Come" is a gay man's fantasy in song.

Obama was asked Monday about the prospect of the District of Columbia becoming the 51st state during a town hall at a city school. The president said, "I'm for it," adding that he has been "for quite some time." Obama added that: "The politics of it end up being difficult to get through Congress, but I think it's absolutely the right thing to do." Obama has previously spoken in favor of giving the District voting representation in Congress, and the White House has consistently supported giving the local government full control of the city's budget and laws. Following his re-election in 2012, Obama added District license plates with the phrase "Taxation Without Representation" to his official vehicles.

"Sometimes, all you can do is rely on your faith in God to guide you. That's what Roeland Park City Council member Marek Gliniecki did last night, when the long-debated ordinance to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the group of classes protected by the Kansas municipality's anti-discrimination law at last saw a council vote. From the Prairie Village Post: In an emotional statement, Gliniecki quoted into the record excerpts from a church document related to legislative proposals on the “non-discrimination of homosexual persons.” That document read in part that “the intrinsic dignity of each person must always be respected in word, in action and in law.” So he voted to respect the intrinsic dignity of gay persons, right? WRONG. It turns out that Gliniecki's Catholic sky god actually wanted him to oppose the ordinance that would respect the intrinsic dignity of gay persons. There were other council members who felt the same way: Mel Croston, Michael Rhodes and Sheri McNeil. Another council member, Becky Fast, did not turn up to cast a vote. In Roeland Park, there are eight council members. Mayor Joel Marquardt votes in the event of a tie. But since Fast didn't show, the four votes were all that the opposition needed to beat the ordinance-supporting votes, cast by Jennifer Gunby, Megan England and Teresa Kelly. Ordinance defeated, 4-3. At its core, the ordinance was asking a simple question of the council: Do you believe that the LGBT community deserves the same rights as everybody else in this country? If so, vote for the ordinance. If not, vote against it. But it turned out to not be so simple. The council spent four months giving air time to religious people concerned that its passage would violate their First Amendment rights, despite the fact that the voted-on version included an exemption for religious organizations. In the end, the vague concerns of religious bigots were deemed more important than protecting an entire class of people from discrimination. Ironically, the vote fell on the same day that President Obama signed into law an executive order protecting all federal employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity — an order that does not include exemptions for religious entities. "We're on the right side of history," Obama said. " The contact information links for the ones who voted against this ore in the original story linked here. Tell them what you think.

I always paid cash for shitty old jalopies. Now I want a new car like a real grown up. Any advice? I can only put 5K down. Do I get a bank loan for the rest or do the loan through the dealership? I make 65K, have been at my job for 6 years and my credit score is so-so. Also, I am not a wheeler dealer type. How do I make sure I don't get a crappy deal? Any help is appreciated.
“Maleficent” will cross $600 million at the global box office Wednesday, becoming the fourth film of the year to hit that mark. The Walt Disney Studios release is now in its fifth week of release, and has made $205 million domestically and $400 million internationally, making it the biggest live-action hit of Angelina Jolie’s career. Other films that have crossed the $600 million barrier in 2014 include “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “The Amazing Spider-Man 2″ and “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” “Maleficent” is the 20th Disney film to pass $600 million globally. The re-imagining of “Sleeping Beauty” is out in most major foreign markets, including China where it has grossed roughly $40 million. It opens this weekend in Japan, which marks its final international engagement.

Here is where we talk about experiences we''ve had with rock bands or musicians in general.\ \ I''ll begin.\ \ Ben Folds is about 4 feet tall and was wearing bright purple corduroys when I met him. His GF/handler was about 45 and peroxide blonde.\ \ Lou Reed is so aloof and rude. Just horrid.\ \ Rolling Stones were the second-nicest band I have ever met. Down to earth and polite and took time to sign autographs and give away free booze from their backstage suite!\ \ Followed closely by BON JOVI. Lame but they were probably the nicest band I have ever met. Genuine as hell.
New series about a ship in a world where an epidemic has swept the world killing almost everyone. Anyone going to watch it?
Not necessarily the most fabulous, or the best-designed, but iconic - pretty much instantly recognizable by anyone as being associated with the film and with a particular cultural moment. In fact, you just describe it and people know what you're talking about (but pictures are appreciated). I'll start: - Audrey Hepburn's little black dress in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" - Cinderella's ballgown in Disney's "Cinderella" - Marilyn Monroe's white "subway" dress in "The Seven Year Itch" - Julia Roberts' red dress and ruby heart necklace in "Pretty Woman" - And a more cultish film, but Cher's / Alicia Silverstone's yellow plaid outfit in "Clueless" - this one's getting renewed attention because of Iggy Azalea's video for "Fancy".

He is 35,unmarried, rarely attends public events with a girl on his arm, no hint of a girlfriend. If he is gay coming out just might help his career at this point. I also think he is very handsome.

I picked up Margo Howard's 1980s biography of her mother, Ann Landers (Eppie Lederer), at a library sale. Some fun stuff in there: - Margo writes that her aunt Popo (who became the competing advice columnist Dear Abby) was oddly competitive with Margo when she was a child. Apparently Popo didn't like to be displaced in Eppie's attentions. - The famous Ann/Abby feud began after Eppie had been doing the Ann Landers column for several months and it became a hit in newspaper syndication. Popo went to the San Francisco Chronicle and offered herself as an Ann Landers substitute, and soon SHE was syndicated (most U.S. cities had two papers then, so she became a formidable competitor to Ann Landers). They didn't speak for years. - When Ann was scheduled to do a TV panel on "Deep Throat," she knew she was against it but didn't know what the title meant or what the movie was about. Margo had to explain it to her mother. - Several women had written the "Ann Landers" column and the paper didn't want to attach any one person to it publicly, but Eppie fought that, appearing on "What's My Line?" as Ann Landers. Becoming the brand in public made her very rich -- and indispensible; the paper couldn't fire her and hire another "Ann." - Both Ann and Abby's daughters grew up to get in the advice business. Margo wrote as "Dear Prudence" and later "Dear Margo," while Abby's daughter Jeanne started co-writing the Dear Abby column very early and eventually took it over completely. While Ann and Abby eventually reconciled, the cousins do not sound close. It's not super-gossipy, but it's light and funny.

I subscribed to this magazine about a year ago because I'd always heard it was the world's best general interest magazine -- but the never bothered to read any of the issues. As close to 30, then 40, then 50 issues piled up next to my living room couch, I started feeling guilty and terrible. Then I finally found the article -- online, natch -- that hooked me: A summary account of LBJ's ascension to the presidency following JFK's assassination. A much more fascinating story than you would expect, and a genuinely thrilling read. Now I'm grateful for all these back issues. I've been going through them and earmarking potentially interesting stories. On Sunday I will wake up and stay in bed until 2PM reading as much of them as I can before I am forced to get up. Hopefully it will rain that day, wouldn't that be perfect? Anyone have any great New Yorker articles they can recommend? I have access to their online archives.

For some agents, Snowden says, the racy images were one of the "fringe benefits of surveillance positions" Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency contractor turned whistle-blower, claims that “incredibly weak” oversight of U.S. surveillance programs enabled military personnel to obtain sexually explicit photos of people under surveillance and to sometimes share them with others. In an interview with the Guardian, Snowden talked about the impact of poor auditing systems within the NSA. He claimed many people sifting through monitored communications were 18 to 22 years old and suddenly put in a position of extraordinary responsibility that was sometimes abused. “In the course of their daily work they stumble across something that is completely unrelated to their work, for example an intimate nude photo of someone in a sexually compromising situation but they’re extremely attractive,” said Snowden. “So what do they do? They turn around in their chair and they show a co-worker. And their co-worker says: ‘Oh, hey, that’s great. Send that to Bill down the way,’” he said. Snowden, who lives in Moscow after being granted temporary asylum last year, added that this information is never reported and nobody knows about it because of inadequate oversight. He said the interception of intimate images was “routine enough” and described it as “sort of the fringe benefits of surveillance positions.” He added, “The mere seizure of that communication by itself was an abuse. The fact that your private images, records of your private lives, records of your intimate moments have been taken from your private communication stream, from the intended recipient, and given to the government without any specific authorization, without any specific need, is itself a violation of your rights.” NSA spokeswoman Vaneé Vines gave a comment to the New York Times on the allegations. The Times paraphrased her as saying that “the agency had zero tolerance for willful violations of authority or professional standards, and that it would respond as appropriate to any credible allegations of misconduct.”

I am loving Last Tango in Halifax with Derek Jacoby! Even though the plotting is rather simplistic, the casting and acting is superb. However, The Paradise, which premiered last night was just the opposite. Terrible actors overacting, artificial production and costume design, melodramatic plotting. Anyone else had a look?

"America is full of tales waiting to be told. There are beautiful stories hiding in small towns and big cities, on suburban streets and rural roads. Great wisdom lives in the well-worked hands of aging craftspeople and in the eager words of young artisans. Our very history is whispered into the materials they use to make exquisite goods according to timeless standards of quality and care. That is the tradition we aim to preserve. How wonderful it is to discover something that has been cast aside, to pick it up and restore it to its original beauty. Maybe it’s sentimental of us, but we hold fast to memories and moments, to relics from bygone eras. Our goal is to support the America we’ve always known, and the one we haven’t yet met. We hope to achieve this in small but meaningful ways, through the stories we tell, the treasures we share and our genuine desire to give back to those with fewer opportunities but just as much heart and soul as anyone else. We believe that nurturing a better tomorrow upholds the yesterday we cherish, for all of us. [bold]Sometimes we walk proudly. Other times we stumble gracelessly. Yet we take each step with a generous measure of never-ending curiosity and wonder. We remain in awe of the folks and folkways existing around us. We want to learn about them, embrace them… preserve them.[/bold] PRESERVE is all of us, together, championing the goods, makers and legends that instill meaning inside the moments of our lives. The curios that cozy our homes, the threads that define our silhouettes, the foods that leave our bellies happy, the projects that mean everything to us—we want to share all of this with you; we know we have so much to learn from you. In our ongoing quest for knowledge, these are our PRESERVE passions…" - Blake Lively

It's a vile, nasty slur. Just because a particular genre of lesbian and effeminate young gays want to use it doesn't mean the entire gay population want to be referred to as "queer". Very few black people walk around calling themselves "n*gger" nor would the media or anybody else pick up on it. In the last week alone I've noticed two straight Facebook people refer to gays and lesbians as "queer", it's like the naughty word they're getting away with saying while hiding behind a p/c acceptance of it. It's NOT empowering. How many gay men and women (and even transgendered people) do you think died or lost eyes and limbs while being called "queer" as they were being attacked or beaten to death? How many of us cringed and began to sweat as we heard our fathers or friends say it when we were growing up, terrified it would be hurled at us, which it eventually was, at least a few times? You're not making yourselves or us 'empowered' and you're not 'taking it back' from anything. You're perpetuating a nasty stereotype. We are not queer/odd/different/bizarre. Please stop allowing people to use this as a label without calling them out on it.

He looked fabulous even up until the 80s and Murphy's Romance because he was such a handsome, handsome man--great jaw, great face, and a great athletic body. But he looked so terrible thereafter. What happened? It's not just aging because some men still look good even beyond sixty (like Michael Caine and Harrison ford). Did he smoke, or was it alcohol, or too much time in the sun?
I love the new Acura Gulliver's Travels commercial. The way Gulliver whines about wanting to go home and then flexes his toes is so sexy. The Acura Chariot literally made him curl his toes. The giant dirty flip flop at the end is awesome too. They're going to turn this into a series of commercials. They already made a sequel. Let's hope Gulliver and his flip flops become the new Flo.

Please indulge me in this pointless bitchery but it's something I thought of over the weekend. We were in New England at a big farmer's market. The quiet hum of the crowd, the birds chirping... it was really nice except, for the two guitar players. One was the cliche' white guy playing "blues" with the stereotypical growling voice and wincing face.. The other was just your garden variety guitar guy doing his own version of a Dave Matthews song. The music and the players themselves are just fine and sometimes can be lovely, but what is it about a lot of these folks who just assume everyone wants to hear their picking and screeching at everything, as if it's a real treat for 100% of the people, 100% of the time? It would be awesome sometime to just enjoy the sounds around you, especially when you're outside. There's a lot to be said for taking in the organic sites and sounds of people and their activity and the humming of a market crowd or a park and such. But it seems like at every outdoor venue, increasingly there are more and more guitar players, sometimes only a few yard apart. It's great if you want to entertain the crowd but it isn't always about YOU being on stage someplace or collecting money from people because you happen to be playing a favorite song. Is this unreasonable? Should there sometimes be public spaces where musical performances (as well as loud radios, violin players et all.) be encouraged not to take place?
You guys don''t know what you''re missing. My cooter got punished last night. It''s almost 10 and it feels like his cock is still pounding my hole.
