Bad news bigots. The largest study yet of children raised by same sex couples suggests that not only are these children equal to their peers raised in heterosexual parented households – but on some markers, they are actually doing better. “Children of same-sex parents are doing as well or better than the rest of the population on a number of key health indicators,” The Age reports: “That is the initial finding from the world’s largest study on the children of same-sex parents, under way at Melbourne University. The Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families collected data on 500 children nationwide, up to the age of 17. An interim report found there was no statistical difference between children of same-sex couples and the rest of the population on indicators including self-esteem, emotional behaviour and the amount of time spent with parents. However, children of same-sex couples scored higher than the national average for overall health and family cohesion, measuring how well the family members get along.” The study’s protocol, detailing its intent and methodology may be accessed here. Unlike the “deeply flawed” and “disgraced,” Regnerus study, The Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families looks at children of actual same-sex couples. This is but one of a number of studies on children raised by same-sex parents, which all have similar findings. Those who oppose same-sex couples adopting or having children together, often use arguments about the likely negative impact of such parenting models on the children involved – and pitch the rights of the adults against the rights of the children, favoring those of the child to have a ‘normal’ upbringing, over those of the adults to have children. So, this should be really great news for them – they can now pitch in and celebrate same-sex parenting for achieving such remarkable results. Unless, of course, they are just bigots, dressing up their bigotry in disingenuous concern for children. In which case, this is the worst news ever.
Largest Study of Children Raised by Same-Sex Parents Is Bad News for Bigots
George Zimmerman has figured out a way to exploit what made him famous -- GUNS. Zimmerman did a meet-and-greet Saturday at an Orlando gun shop. People lined up for an autograph pic of Zimmerman and his dog ... actually only around 20 people lined up. It's a page out of the OJ playbook ... get acquitted of killing someone, and then show up places and sign autographs. One funny thing ... the pic Zimmerman signed is clearly from days past, when he weighed 50 lbs less ... and that's being generous. Vanity ... it's not just for good people.

In an intensive care unit in Memphis, a virus ravages the body of a 7-year-old who’s in heart and kidney failure. He vomits blood several times an hour as his family gathers in vigil. In a cabinet in Durham, North Carolina, there’s a drug that could likely help Josh Hardy, but the drug company won’t give it to him. They’re adamant that spending the time to help Josh and others like him will slow down their efforts to get this drug on the market. Helping Josh, they say, means hurting others. When asked how he will feel if Josh dies — and he’s in critical condition, so sadly that could happen soon — the president of the company that makes the drug doesn’t hesitate to answer. “Horrible,” said Kenneth Moch. He would feel horrible and heartbroken. But still, he said there’s no way he’s going to change his mind. There’s no way he’s going to give Josh this drug. ‘We’re begging them’ It’s called “compassionate use,” but sometimes it feels anything but compassionate. Here’s the way it works: According to the Food and Drug Administration, if someone has a serious or immediately life-threatening disease and has tried and failed other available treatments, they can ask a drug company for an experimental drug, one that they’re still studying and has not yet been approved by the FDA. Companies often say yes: The FDA approved 974 compassionate use arrangements in fiscal year 2013. But pharmaceutical companies often say no, as they did to Josh Hardy. “Our son will die without this drug,” said Todd Hardy, Josh’s father. “We’re begging them to give it to us.” So now, like many families, the Hardys have turned to the media, Facebook, and change.org to pressure the drug company to change its mind. Countless members of “Josh’s army” have responded with angry tweets to @chimerix, telling them to “open their hearts,” asking the executives how they can sleep at night. “Everyone is watching,” one tweeter warned the company. Others have tweeted out the e-mail addresses of the company’s board members. Chimerix executives say they’ve received physical threats. Moch, the company president, has read these tweets and said he is heartbroken, but the issue is complex and unsuitable for a 144-long character debate. At its very simplest, this is it: Chimerix is going full speed ahead to get the drug on the market hopefully by the end of 2016, and if they spend time and money on compassionate use cases, it would greatly hinder their effort to get the drug, brincidofovir, on the market and available to everyone. The company would have to dish out $50,000 per compassionate-use patient, since insurance doesn’t usually pay for experimental drugs, Moch said. And perhaps even more important than the money, it would divert manpower in this 50-person company, since they’d have to handle the requests and then get the patient’s records and follow up with them, as required by the FDA. “If this were just one patient wanting this drug, then this would be a very different question,” he said. “But it’s yes to all or no to all.” From 2009 to 2012, the company did give out the drug under compassionate use to 451 patients, Moch said, but at least at that time, the information gleaned from those 451 compassionate use patients was helpful to the Chimerix study and helped move the science along. But currently doctors don’t really learn very much, if anything, from compassionate use patients, so the patients don’t help get the drug to market. Beat cancer four times Josh’s journey began when he was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer at 9 months old. Over the years, cancer turned up in his thymus, lung, and bone marrow, and each time Josh beat it. But a bone marrow transplant left Josh without much of an immune system, and in February doctors diagnosed him with an adenovirus that spread through his body. They gave him an antiviral drug, an intravenous form of brincidofovir, but it ravaged his kidneys.

1) If you have the aisle seat, do not fall asleep with your tray table down. You have the aisle seat. Fine. Good for you. You win. But you have also accepted the implicit responsibility of getting up quickly and with good cheer whenever one of your seatmates on the inside wants to get up for any reason. And you know what is not conducive to sending an unspoken message to your seatmates on the inside that you prepared to get up quickly and with good cheer at any moment? Falling asleep with your tray table down. Falling asleep with your tray table down sends the message: "I have constructed both a physical and emotional barrier to egress by you, my inside seatmates. In order to exercise your god-given right to get up, you are now put in the position of having to violate norms of both manners and physics. I care little for the needs or comfort of others." Unacceptable. 2) Do not talk to me for long. Say hi, chit chat a bit, okay. Now let's stop talking. 3) Do not recline your seat. Do not recline your seat. Ever.

White Plains, NY, March 10, 2014 – At a joint press conference today, United Methodist Bishop Martin McLee and Rev. Dr. Thomas W. Ogletree announced that the church was dropping the case against Dr. Ogletree for officiating at his son’s same-sex wedding. In a huge victory for the Methodist movement that is organizing ministry to all couples on an equal basis in open defiance of church law, the bishop dropped the case without any conditions. The decision to drop the case was satisfactory to Dr. Ogletree (who under UMC law had the right to insist on a trial to adjudicate his case) because it did not require him to say he would not conduct same-sex weddings in the future, nor did it in any way frame what he did as “wrong.” Furthermore, Bishop McLee said in his statement “I call for and commit to cessation of trials,” the first time ever a sitting United Methodist bishop has categorically declared he will not prosecute pastors for ministering to LGBTQ people. “I am grateful that Bishop McLee has withdrawn this case and the church is no longer prosecuting me for an act of pastoral faithfulness and fatherly love,” said Dr. Ogletree. “But I am even more grateful that he is vowing not to prosecute others who have been likewise faithful in ministry to LGBTQ people. May our bishop’s commitment to cease such prosecutions be the beginning of the end of the United Methodist Church’s misguided era of discriminating against LGBTQ people.” Ogletree, a past dean of both Yale Divinity School and Drew Theological Seminary, a scholarly expert in Christian ethics, and an author of a section of the UMC’s Book of Discipline, began his service to the church in 1952, a time when Methodist rules barred women from serving as clergy and segregated African Americans into a separate central jurisdiction. The bishop’s statement acknowledges that church trials “continue the harm brought upon our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters” and invites Dr. Ogletree to “a public forum on the true nature of the covenant that binds us together,” where he can tell his story about why he performed this wedding and how he understands that act to be consistent with the Wesleyan tradition and Christian ethical principles.
NewsBlues reports .... As a child, Sam Champion was chubby, effeminate, and clumsy. The other kids made fun of him. He didn't like sports. His father, a stern ex-Marine, didn't know what to make of him. Years later, Champion was outed by his sister during Thanksgiving dinner. He told his dad, "If you think I would choose to make my life 10 times more difficult by being different, by putting a cap on where I can go with my career, what areas of the country I can live in, who will accept me...if you truly believe that I chose that, then you're not the man I think you are. And you're not as smart as I think you are. And it will take you some time to figure it out. But you will figure it out." He and his father didn't speak for two years after that. They eventually reconciled, shortly before his father's death from cancer. Champion, who will debut a new morning show Monday on the Weather Channel, tells all in an interview on yesterday's Access Hollywood.

From Huffpo: "Americans for Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group backed by the Koch brothers, is running Obamacare attack ads featuring a cancer patient who claimed her treatments were "unaffordable" under the new health law. On Monday, The Detroit News reported that the patient will actually save more than $1,000 a year. Julie Boonstra says in the anti-Obamacare ad that was diagnosed with leukemia five years ago, and her health care plan was canceled when Obamacare went into effect. "Now, the out-of-pocket costs are so high, it's unaffordable," she said. Before her plan was canceled, Boonstra was paying a $1,100 monthly premium. That's $13,200 a year, without adding out-of-pocket expenses like co-pays and prescription drugs. But under her new plan, the Blue Cross Premier Gold, Boonstra's premiums are down to $571 a month, and out-of-pocket costs are capped at $5,100. That's a maximum annual expense of $11,952 a year. According to The Detroit News, Boonstra said it “can’t be true” that her new coverage is cheaper than her old. “I personally do not believe that,” Boonstra said. The ads set out to target Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who faces former Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land (R) in a tight race for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat. Peters voted in favor of the Affordable Care Act. The billionaire Koch brothers have spent millions in attack ads in Michigan and beyond, prompting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to take a public stand against their tactics. Reid accused the Kochs of "trying to buy America," saying Republicans are "addicted to Koch." Boonstra told The Detroit News she had never been politically active before joining the anti-Obamacare campaign. The newspaper reported her ex-husband, Mark Boonstra, had served as chair of the Washtenaw County GOP, and was appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder (R) to the Michigan Court of Appeals in 2012."
Since the spoiler in the "official thread" states that his spoilers are wanted, can we have a thread that doesn't say what happens in each episode until it has aired?

Actress Patricia Heaton’s publicly pro-life stance is a rarity in Hollywood, especially considering the frequency with which she voices her views on abortion. But the star of TV’s “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Middle” said becoming a mom just made it something she feels she needs to speak out about. “It just bothers me so much. It’s almost a natural, it’s almost a reflex now,” said Heaton, a mother of four, told TheBlaze in an interview. “Once you have kids and you know what it feels like to be pregnant and you know what it feels like to have that person growing inside of you, and the beauty of it, it’s just not a holistic thing to do.” Despite having no qualms about sharing her pro-life views, Heaton, who also speaks openly about her Christianity, said it’s important to approach the issue with compassion. “It’s tricky, because I think it’s one out of three women who have an abortion, so whoever you’re talking to you can’t assume — and it doesn’t matter if they’re a Christian or not,” she told TheBlaze. “It’s a very sensitive subject, so you want to be sensitive so that in whatever you’re saying you could be really, deeply affecting somebody within listening distance.” She added, “In the Hollywood community, I’m the only one I know who says anything about it. I feel like I’m supposed to.” The actress, who stars in the upcoming film, “Moms’ Night Out,” also addressed the nature of media and how an entertainer’s comments about controversial issues sometimes end up becoming fodder for television news networks and commentators alike. She said these outlets end up taking something a performer says and running with it. “It happens on every TV show. So for actors, for a minute it feels like ‘I’m important. I got attention,’” Heaton explained. “Then you realize, ‘No someone is just using me to get their ratings up’ — and then you’re just sitting there sort of with the aftermath of opening your big fat mouth.” For Heaton, it’s all about picking and choosing when it’s appropriate to speak up. She also noted that one’s politics can easily be fused to his or her public persona and career — a development that can alienate audience members. “I think you really have to pick your battles and I think you can do so much more as an actor through your creative work than just spouting off your opinions,” she added.

Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has a new book out, Six Amendments: How And Why We Should Change The Constitution, with some really outstanding ideas. The publisher says of the book: For the first time ever, a retired Supreme Court Justice offers a manifesto on how the Constitution needs to change. SIX AMENDMENTS is an absolutely unprecedented call to arms, detailing six specific ways in which the Constitution should be amended in order to protect our democracy and the safety and wellbeing of American citizens.” Any constitutional amendment is an impossible dream, of course. It requires two-thirds of the members of both houses of congress and then has to be ratified by three-fourths of the states. The country couldn’t even pass an amendment saying women have the same rights as men, hard to see red states and blue states agreeing on any significant change. But it is still a tantalizing possibility. Here are Justice Stevens six great ideas by Josh Blackman, a critic of Justice Stevens who reviewed the book. When you read #1 think Rick Perry refusing to allow same-sex military spouses to apply for benefits or the Missouri legislature considering a law allowing the arrest of any law enforcement agent attempting to enforce federal gun laws. The rest are fairly straight forward. The “Anti-Commandeering Rule” (Amend the Supremacy Clause of Article VI) This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges and other public officials. in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. Political Gerrymandering – Districts represented by members of Congress, or by members of any state legislative body, shall be compact and composed of contiguous territory. The state shall have the burden of justifying any departures from this requirement by reference to neutral criteria such as natural, political, or historical boundaries or demographic changes. The interest in enhancing or preserving the political power of the party in control of the state government is not such a neutral criterion. Campaign Finance – Neither the First Amendment nor any other provision of this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit the Congress or any state from imposing reasonable limits on the amount of money that candidates for public office, or their supporters, may spend in election campaigns. Sovereign Immunity – Neither the Tenth Amendment, the Eleventh Amendment, nor any other provision of this Constitution, shall be construed to provide any state, state agency, or state officer with an immunity from liability for violating any act of Congress, or any provision of this Constitution. Death Penalty- (Amend the 8th Amendment) Excessive Bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments such as the death penalty inflicted. The Second Amendment – (Amend the 2nd Amendment) A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed. You can see by his amendment wish list that there’s a reason Justice Stevens was known as the “Liberal Lion” of the Court. I would gladly embrace any one of Justice Stevens suggestions. But it struck me that the one change we need to make before we could possibly address the other five is and end to gerrymandering. The reality is, we will never end the practice of carving up states into safe red or blue districts on a national level. The men and women who benefit from it will never let that happen. But we might be able to do it state by state. Once that was done, the rest might be possible. We complain about it enough. But I have never heard of a grass roots campaign to change the way even a single district has been drawn. Why haven’t we tried?

President Obama on "Between Two Ferns" with Zach Galifianakis
Peter Lanza has remained a mystery, until now. The latest issue of the New Yorker includes a profile of Peter Lanza, who was interviewed by writer Andrew Solomon. Lanza said he's constantly thinking about what he could have done differently as a parent, and "Any variation on what I did and how my relationship was had to be good, because no outcome could be worse." But he doesn't think he could have predicted the tragedy. "You can’t get any more evil," he said of Adam, adding, "How much do I beat up on myself about the fact that he’s my son? A lot.” Read link for more.

President Barack Obama is the latest guest on Zach Galifianakis' spoof chat show Between Two Ferns. In a six-minute clip posted to Funny or Die, the pair trade insults about Galifianakis' weight, Obama's "missing" birth certificate, Bradley Cooper, and the Affordable Healthcare Act. "I wouldn't be with you here today if I didn't have something to plug" says Obama, introducing Healthcare.gov. "That's the thing that didn't work?" asks Galifianakis. "Why would you get the guy that created the Zune to make your website?" Elsewhere in the episode, Galifianakis asks important questions on the "North Ikea" situation, and questions Obama's decision to hire Dennis Rodman as an ambassador to the country.

I'm close friends with 3 sets of couples who always argue and criticize each other in public. More often than not, one of them will try to draw me into the argument, but I always make it a point to be a peacemaker. I know relationships have their ups and downs; however, what is the point of being with someone whom you think so lowly of, you'll go out of your way to embarrass them? Why do people think it's honestly okay to belittle their partner at every opportunity?

Yes, there were the notable exceptions like Ken Howard and Hal Linden. Still, it seems like most of the men the girls dated or lusted after were really not attractive at all. Laszlo the artist has to be the ultimate example. All three of them are in hormonal overdrive over him (Dorothy is practically tingling when he first shows up at the house - Bea's portrayal of this is very funny). Yet the man is freakish-looking! Not as extreme, but certainly another example of the casting not justifying the storyline, is Doug from the Mangiacavallo wedding episode.

Religious Right talk show host Kevin Swanson railed against the Disney film Frozen on Wednesday, accusing Disney of using the movie to turn children gay. Swanson told cohost Steve Vaughn that Satan is using the movie “to indoctrinate my 5-year-old to be a lesbian.” Swanson: Man, how many children are taken into these things and how many Christians are taking their kids off to see the movie Frozen, produced by an organization that is probably one of the most pro-homosexual organizations in the country? You wonder sometimes, I’m not a tinfoil hat conspiratorialist, but you wonder sometimes if maybe there’s something very evil happening here. If I was the Devil, what would I do to really foul up an entire social system and do something really, really, really evil to 5- and 6- and 7-year-olds in Christian families around America? Vaughn: I would make a movie. Swanson: I would buy Disney. If I was the Devil, I would buy Disney in 1984, that’s what I would have done. Vaughn: Then you would start making all these nice little movies that throw little things in there that make sin look enticing, in fact some of the worst of sins, make it look enticing or at least to start to indoctrinate slowly, turn the heat up on the frog in the pan. Swanson: Friends, this is evil, just evil. I wonder if people are thinking: “You know I think this cute little movie is going to indoctrinate my 5-year-old to be a lesbian or treat homosexuality or bestiality in a light sort of way.” I wonder if the average parent going to see Frozen is thinking that way. I wonder if they are just walking in and saying, “Yeah, let’s get my five-year-old and seven-year-old indoctrinated early.” You know they’re not, I think for the most part they’re oblivious. Maybe they do pick up on pieces of it but they just don’t get up and walk out. Swanson also criticized Disney for its opposition to the Boy Scouts of America’s ban on openly gay troop leaders, saying that parents should know that the company, along with public schools, is aiming to have “their children indoctrinated” into “the lifestyle of sodomy.” He added that it would be the “worst nightmare” of parents to have their child “turn into a sodomite.” Swanson: I’m guessing the majority of American parents don’t want their little boys turning into sodomites, at this point. if you were to interview, stick a microphone in front of most parents dropping their kids off at the average K-6 school in Colorado where they’re sporting their GLSEN signs everywhere, but if you just interview them and you ask them: “Is your vision for this little 6-year-old boy, 8-year-old boy, 9-year-old, 10-year-old boy that he turn into a sodomite?” My guess is that 60 to 70 percent of them would say, “that would be my worst nightmare.” Of course that changes over time and it does change, everything is slipping here. You feel it slipping, can’t you? You feel the whole sexual thing slipping down and it’s affecting boys. I think the position of parents with 18- to 22-year-old boys tends to change, especially as they’re being indoctrinated by Disney and others. American society I think is going to fracture on this one. The Boy Scouts are the fault line, you got six percent leaving, you got Disney pulling funding. This is fracturing our society and I can see how it might, I can see how some parents might be very strong, they don’t want their children indoctrinated in any way into the lifestyle of sodomy. Vaughn: And if you fall into that camp, you got to get them out of Sodom, you got to bring them home.

I came upon the terminology in another thread. I recall hearing that "Fifty Shades of Grey" began that way but I've not read it. My tastes run towards biography and autobiography. I know there are people in publishing who post on DL. Just how bad is "Fan Fiction" and how many people are sending in manuscripts since that book became a best seller? Any idea as to the demographics of the writer/readers? Does this stuff actually sell? Thanks.

I tried delivering pizzas for a couple of weeks, but after pay/tips combined I only made about $400. But I spent about $200 on gas. I used to be able to make some extra money buying/selling watches back in the 90's and early 2000's, but now everyone posts their possessions on ebay and Craigslist. So what do you do to make some extra cash?

Rumors have swirled that Janet Jackson and her husband's marriage is on the rocks. Reports indicated that the singer is not happy with being married to Wissam Al Mana and has already filed for divorce. A source reportedly said she has already confided in her close friends and her mother Katherine Jackson that she's preparing to leave him. Another tabloid reported that Jackson will challenge the prenup and will also demand a payout from his fortune. Jackson was previously married to James SeBarge and Rene Elizonda. She also had a long-term relationship with rapper/producer, Jermaine Dupri. She secretly married Al Mana in 2012, whom she began dating in 2010. Back in October, the couple were taking steps to expanding their family by exploring the process of adopting a child from a third-world country. "She now pretty much knows pregnancy is not in the cards, so she's been looking into adopting," a source said at the time. "She's been very moved by the events in Jordan and Syria now that she's been living overseas. Not sure how soon it will happen, but there's been movement on this." Page Six also noted that Jackson even reached out to Queen Rania of Jordan to help out with the process. "Janet has always been concerned about the welfare of the world's children, and it's important to her that she affords a baby the opportunities that have been afforded her," a source told the paper.

It's one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced.it goes for gay men and lesbians with children, too. They really think they have been blessed with superiority over single people because they have kids. They'll deny it if they're not assholes, but they still really believe it, deep down.

BREAKING: Bethenny Frankel's talk show cancelled
Omarosa
The 25th season of The Simpsons began a couple weeks ago. The show has already been picked up for a 26th. People have now been debating the precise moment the show began to decline for longer than even the most successful TV series tend to stay on air. And the producers know this, of course: Executive producer Al Jean has recently promised new reasons to watch the next two seasons—including the death of an “iconic” character, which he said he hopes will garner Breaking Bad-like ratings. (He was apparently joking about the ratings.) The death of that character, whoever he or she is, may make viewers pay attention to the show again, for a bit. But it’s a move we’ve seen before (most notably, Maude Flanders died in Season 11). And it’s just a temporary fix: It will not restore the show’s reputation as innovative or groundbreaking. To reclaim that type of territory, and reestablish its hold on the American zeitgeist, The Simpsons needs to think much bigger. So here is what I’m proposing: The Simpsons should break free from its static biological present. The characters need to age. Yes, a cartoon, a 2-D world where the laws of nature are constructed in a writers’ room, should suddenly be forced to carry, like Homer chained to the “Stone of Shame,” the same burden all humans are forced to carry: growing older. Over 25 seasons, the characters on The Simpsons have grown in complexity, but they still mostly grapple with issues appropriate to their respective ages. The possible narratives are dwindling. And our few glimpses of the Simpsons at more advanced ages have been tantalizing. Four episodes over 25 years have flash-forwarded in time and braved the family’s future, showing us Lisa, Bart, and Maggie as teenagers, college students, adults. Out of those four episodes, three were nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. (In all fairness, Entertainment Weekly called “Bart to the Future” the worst episode in the series’ entire, gigantic catalogue. But hey: high risk, high reward.) If the Simpsons aged, the audience could at last watch their favorite characters struggle with the challenges of growth and maturity. We could see how serious change affects one of pop culture’s most indelible modern families. I love the couch gags, the one-liners, and the brilliant “Treehouse of Horror” episodes, but the heart of the show is still a family that loves and cares for one another in a touching if dysfunctional way. It’s the story of contemporary normalcy with a twist. At its best, the show holds a mirror up to ourselves. Consider one of the best flash forwards, “Holidays of Future Passed” (Season 23, Episode 9). Bart is divorced and living in “The Lofts at Springfield Elementary,” grinding coffee in a pencil sharpener. His children hate him. Lisa is trying to balance her time between work and her daughter (who literally plugs into the Internet); she wonders if marrying Milhouse was a catastrophic decision. Homer has mellowed and become an exceptional grandfather who has given up drinking to build spaceships in bottles. Maggie is, of course, a rock star. And Marge, well, Marge is still not fully appreciated. Imagine a whole season of Bart trying to find redemption for a wasteful life and his heedless, petty rebellion. Imagine Lisa struggling to balance family with work and self. Imagine all the opportunities for the writers to satirize our culture, to show us who we really are. The ability to freeze characters in time is one of the great advantages of animation. (I’m sure the producers of Modern Family would love to keep the children adorable and the world of that show static forever, too.) But it can become a straitjacket. And The Simpsons is well past that point. How would the audience react if Homer suddenly started to get older? If The Simpsons gave us cartoons who, like us, aged? Possibly not well: Aging is filled with complications, and it’s comforting to drop in on The Simpsons whenever you want and return to discover they are still the same. But that also makes the show easy to ignore. And bringing biological reality to the series would change that. If the Simpsons began to grow older, each episode would—for the first time in a long time—hold the promise of something new.

He is back, this time for Lucas Entertainment. Last year he said he had a bit of regret going bareback on film. But this year, he has changed his mind saying "I think that’s a complicated conflicting message to send, but at the same time I’ve never been America’s sweetheart. I don’t know where the shock comes from. But in terms of just barebacking, I definitely tell all of my friends to be safe. We definitely don’t bareback in our private life with random people at all. And so it was just for that scenario." He also says about performing for Michael Lucas "Performing for Lucas Entertainment feels like my true debut in gay porn in many ways. I have recorded most of my personal life on camera, so doing porn feels like a natural extension of that exhibitionism.” To see Chris latest BB performance go to link below.

I used to feel sort of indifferent about hipsters because I saw them for what they are: a fad that will probably fade away in another year or so. But now I have a new appreciation for them. Their mere existence is making life for conservatives a living hell. Apparently, people who are cool are that way simply to traumatize conservatives, so says "comedian" Greg Gutfeld in his new book, "Not Cool: The Hipster Elite and Their War on You" Conservatives dont simply hate cool people, they fear them, feel threatened by them. [quote]From politics to the personal, from fashion to food, from the campus to the locker room, the desire to be cool has infected all aspects of our lives. At its most harmless, it is annoying. At its worst, it is deadly, on a massive scale. The Cool are the termites of life, infiltrating every nook and cranny and destroying it from within...Not Cool fights back against the culture of phonies, elitists, and creeps who want your soul. It’s not a book, it’s a weapon—and one should be armed with it at all times. Can I get an, "Oh, Mary"? Avoiding a background check when selling a gun to a psychotic criminal is a-ok, but shopping at Whole Foods or wearing over-sized glasses will be the end of us all. Is it any wonder there are so many ads for adult diapers on Fox News? To be a conservative means you are pissing and shitting your pants 24/7. A fate worse than death is lurking behind every can of Pabst Blue Ribbon and thrift store sweater.

Elisabeth Moss and Fred Armisen filed for divorce in 2010 after only one year of marriage, but the Mad Men star is still reflecting on the couple's relationship. "Looking back, I feel like I was really young, and at the time I didn't think that I was that young," Moss explains in the March 10 issue of New York magazine. "It was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible." She continues, "At the same time, it turned out for the best. I'm glad that I'm not there. I'm glad that it didn't happen when I was 50. I'm glad I didn't have kids. And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. Like, that's probably not going to happen again." (The interview also points out that "Armisen has since described himself as a 'terrible husband' on Howard Stern, a classification to which Moss nods in agreement.") After news of the couple's split made headlines, Moss, 31, says that becoming tabloid fodder was an interesting experience for her. "I always knew that the stuff that you read is not true, but when I was in the situation and you really, actually read things that you apparently said or did that are 100 percent made up … It’s just the strange, simple thing of, that's your heart they're talking about, and it just … it sucks." But she admits that she understands America's fascination with fame: "I enjoy a little gossip. I like looking at photos of celebrities going to Starbucks."

A Beverly Hills police officer has just sued the city -- claiming it punished him for reporting a fellow officer ... for allegedly ogling at Whitney Houston's naked body at the scene of her death. Sgt. Brian Weir filed the lawsuit, claiming Sgt. Terry Nutall knelt beside Houston -- mere hours after her death -- and removed the sheet covering her body, saying, "Damn, she's still looking good, huh?" Weir claims he came forward with the complaint soon after Whitney's death ... and was subsequently canned from his positions with the coveted SWAT and K-9 teams in retaliation. Weir claims he was also denied promotions and other benefits. He's suing for unspecified damages.

I know that some of you will think that I am crazy, but do you ever read what someone writes in here and worry about that person? I'm saying this because a few months ago there were several threads about people who live in poverty or were going through really hard times, and I felt like shit reading their stories, especially because I am not exactly swimming in money myself and I cannot really afford to do much for anybody else, besides giving them food or clothes. So, do you ever think about someone's circumstances and regret not having reached out to them, or having tried to do something to solve their problems?
Since we have threads for other shows and I didn't see one for H5O... Not sure how the show is holding up on its change to Friday nights but I think even if it's numbers are down, CBS isn't about to cancel it. Tim Daly guest starred in the latest episode and looked fine. Speaking of looking good, it appeared that Scotty Caan was commando under his gray shorts for the opening and closing sequences. Steve and Wo Fat aren't half-brothers despite fans' beliefs. Unless Steve's DNA test was changed or falsified.

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?

Thanks to widespread public ridicule, Hollywood producers & directors finally got the message and stop repeating such rom-com clichés as montages of retail therapy for the heroine, or scenes where she lipsyncs while holding a hairbrush/spatula/wire whisk as a microphone. But there are some things they still keep repeating in films I never want to see again--such as: *in ghost movies: ghosts with stringy black hair crawling along the shadowy floor, walls, or ceiling *in action films: Mexican standoffs *in biopics of famous singers: the singer's success is shown by a montage of his or her placements on the Billboard charts intercut with scenes of him or her singing in different venues What else?

We recently did some meeting for this client, and they sent an email to the general manager this afternoon thanking us for a job well done. My co-workers keep forwarding this message internally and externally to some of the vendors who helped put the meeting together. Everyone is being so bubbly and telling everyone else how much they love their job, the team spirit, that they've never worked on such a wonderful team before, and practically fellating the general manager. Am I weird that I just don't care about any of this and find their behavior nauseating? Seriously, is there something wrong with me for seeing this as just a job and not some extended family?

At the IFC Center as part of its Francofest. 56% fresh on RT, but did get a good review in the Times. Here's the blurb from the IFC website about its series: An astonishingly prolific polymath, James Franco has already produced an impressive body of work as an actor, writer, producer and director that would make an artist twice his age jealous. His choices have never feared complexity or controversy, and each new project bristles with the thrill of discovery. We’re thrilled to present this not-even-mid-career survey includes some of Franco’s most notable performances—SPRING BREAKERS, 127 HOURS and more—and a sampling of the features he has directed, among them AS I LAY DYING, BROKEN TOWER, SAL and others. James Franco (born 1978) is an actor, director, screenwriter, producer, teacher and author. He began his career on the acclaimed show Freaks and Geeks and received a Golden Globe Award for his performance in the biographical film James Dean. Notable film credits include OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, SPRING BREAKERS, “Harry Osborn” in the SPIDER-MAN trilogy, MILK and 127 HOURS for which he received Academy Award, SAG and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor. He has directed, written and produced several feature films and numerous short works, and has published novels, poetry, short stories and magazine articles. He is currently teaching college courses at UCLA, USC and Cal Arts and acting classes at Studio 4. He will appear on Broadway this spring in a revival of Of Mice and Men.

My parents have been thinking about selling their house and buying a condo. I've been getting estimates for renovations, and the quotes have been between $40k-$60k. Houses in this neighbourhood usually sell for about $250k, but when I had a professional appraisal done, the guy valued the house at $195k. When I asked why so low, he made these points: *house need extensive renovations *neighbours yard behind us looks like a city dump *neighbours next door were smoking pot every time he visited my parents property *the house is next to an apartment building with the building parking lot up against my parents property line All these points are true. I asked how much the value would increase if my parents did the renos, and he said it would add "maybe" $20k to the value. Still $35k below market value. When I said my parents might as well sell the house as is, he said no one would buy the house in the current condition in this location. So essentially, my parents would have to spend tens of thousands just to get into the market, and would lose tens of thousands when the house finally sells. I've seen houses in the same condition sell easily, but the appraiser insists those houses were not between an apartment building, and a pot house. I'm at a loss as to what my parents should do.

Yet another front in the widening Christie scandals U.S. Subpoenas Port Authority Records Tied to Chairman, a Christie Ally By WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM and KATE ZERNIKE Federal prosecutors in Manhattan on Friday subpoenaed the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for records related to potential conflicts of interest involving its chairman, David Samson, a prominent New Jersey lawyer and close political ally of Gov. Chris Christie, according to people briefed on the matter. The business dealings of Mr. Samson and his law firm, Wolff & Samson, have come under intense scrutiny as a result of the politically charged closing of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge in September and the scandal that ensued. The lane closings are the subject of a separate inquiry by federal prosecutors in New Jersey who are examining the roles of several current and former aides and allies of Mr. Christie. It was not immediately clear why federal prosecutors in Manhattan, in the office of Preet Bharara, the United States attorney there, had issued the subpoena when their federal counterparts in New Jersey were conducting the bridge inquiry and the related investigation. Indeed, people briefed on the matter suggested that any federal investigation that grew out of the subpoena would most likely play out in New Jersey, under the supervision of the United States attorney there, Paul J. Fishman, as opposed to being handled by prosecutors in Manhattan. Neither of the federal prosecutor’s offices would comment on the subpoena issued on Friday. But an examination of possible conflicts of interest involving Mr. Samson would appear to represent a significant widening of the scandal. In addition to the inquiry into the lane closings by the office of Mr. Fishman, the scandal has already led to at least one other investigation by his office, focused in part on members of Mr. Christie’s administration. That inquiry is examining allegations by the mayor of Hoboken, Dawn Zimmer, that Mr. Christie’s lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno, threatened to withhold hurricane recovery funds if the mayor did not support a development project favored by the governor. There is also an extensive investigation underway by a joint committee of the New Jersey Legislature into who ordered the closing of the two access lanes in Fort Lee, N.J., and why. Mr. Samson’s name came up in emails released in the early days of that inquiry, and he later received a subpoena from the committee seeking a broad range of documents and other materials including his communications, correspondence, emails and appointment calendars. Those early emails suggested that he was unconcerned that thousands of people might have been trapped in the traffic jam caused by the lane closings, but angered by the efforts of the Port Authority’s executive director, Patrick J. Foye, to get to the bottom of the jam. The federal subpoena seeking records related to Mr. Samson’s potential conflicts at the Port Authority, however, was the first public indication that criminal investigators might be focusing specifically on him. Mr. Samson’s lawyer, Michael Chertoff, would not respond to questions about the subpoena, saying through a spokeswoman, “We are not commenting on the progress of investigations.” Later, after articles about the subpoena appeared online, the spokeswoman sent an additional statement from Mr. Chertoff: “Let me add, there continues to be a good deal of erroneous coverage of matters pertinent to my client. That will become evident in due course.” The spokeswoman would not specify which facts were incorrect. Some of Mr. Samson’s potential conflicts have been the subject of news reports. And an article in The New York Times last week detailed the wide-ranging business dealings in which he and his law firm represented clients doing business with the Port Authority and the administration of Mr. Christie, showing the extent to which their ambitions and success have become intertwined, as Mr. Samson benefited financially and Mr. Christie politi

And, presumably, he wasn't drunk. The "detrimental" and "instrumental" part is pretty funny. (CNN) -- Don't ask Justin Bieber about Selena Gomez. It's a touchy subject. In fact, Bieber appeared reluctant to answer any questions from an attorney for a photographer who accuses Bieber of ordering a bodyguard to attack him last summer. Several video clips of the deposition, which a Miami judge ordered in the photographer's lawsuit against Bieber, were posted Monday on the celebrity news website TMZ. The release comes just days after another Miami judge released video of Bieber giving a urine sample in jail after an arrest on a driving under the influence charge in January. In video from the deposition, Bieber primped and winked to the camera at times, but he was a hostile witness for most of the four hours of questioning by Miami lawyer Mark DiCowden, who represents photographer Jeffrey Binion. Bieber attorney Howard Weitzman objected when DiCowden asked if he ever dated Gomez. Bieber had a long-term relationship with Gomez, which included many encounters with the paparazzi. "Sounds like you're trying to harass him," Weitzman said. DiCowden followed up by asking Bieber, 20, if he had "ever discussed his feelings about paparazzi with Gomez?" "Don't ask me about her again," Bieber answered. He wagged a finger at the lawyer, repeating at least six times, "Don't ask me about her again." At times Bieber closed his eyes, appearing to tune out the lawyer. "I don't have to listen to anything you have to say," Bieber told DiCowden. He compared the lawyer to journalist Katie Couric. "It seems like a '60 Minutes' interview," Bieber said. Evidence of Bieber's reluctance also came when he was asked if he knew "an entertainer by the name of Usher." "Yeah, Usher, that sounds familiar," Bieber answered. He later acknowledged Usher was a close friend, but he downplayed the singer's role in his career. "Isn't it true that Usher was instrumental in starting your career?" DiCowden asked. "I was found on YouTube," Bieber replied. "I think that I was detrimental to my own career." After prompting from his attorney, Bieber revised his answer to say "instrumental" -- not "detrimental." Bieber's combativeness extended toward the court reporter who was transcribing his answers. When she remarked she could not hear Bieber's whispered answer to a question, he replied, " 'Yes' and 'no' are f--king pretty different." Bieber is likely to get more experience dealing with lawyers' questions in the coming months. He faces a DUI charge that could go to a trial in Miami as well as an assault charge in Toronto. A Los Angeles prosecutor also is close to a decision in a possible vandalism case over an alleged egg attack on the mansion of a Bieber neighbor in Calabasas, California.

I just spent a week researching and writing about the greatest gay people who have ever lived and contributed most positively to society (scientists, artists, philanthropists, etc.) And that's all fine and dandy but that positive crap bores me to tears. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I want to learn about the WORST, most EVIL gay male historical figures (just based off of morbid curiosity). I mean which gay was on the level of Hitler, Stalin, etc.? Oh and PC police who are bound to get your panties in a twist, put a sock in it.
As requested here is a new gym sex thread...

One of the most beloved yet one of the corniest shows to ever grace television, it still endures through reruns, remakes and retrospectives. Why didn't the girls ever speak of their natural father ever again? How did three boys and three girls share one bathroom? Was Alice a lesbian (I know there was Sam the butcher and all, but still...)? Did Mike and Carol ever have sex? What did Carol do all day if Alice cooked and cleaned? Did Greg and Marcia fancy each other later on (seeing as though they were both attractive teens and weren't actually blood relatives)? What happened to Tiger the dog after season one?
Even though I thought I would. I overheard (full disclosure: I was eavesdropping) a conversation between the President, VP, and Controller, discussing the legal obligations and an employment lawyer to consult yesterday. I am on vacation next week, and assumed they would drop the bomb today. I guess it takes a few days to assemble the paperwork. I do have (legitimate) access to the company's finances, so I think it is mostly a financial issue. We are heavily in debt with angry vendors sending us to collections all the time. But it sucks because the Prez and VP are both gay men too - I know it's silly, but I kind of feel a bit betrayed, especially by the VP, who I actually like a lot. Yes, I know your employer isn't your friend and you can't count on them. But it still hurts. It felt like the longest day of my life - waiting for the 'can we talk to you?'. I am not sure whether to be grateful for the delay or not. FYI: I have suspected this for a while, and been actively looking for the last six months. I was the one who started the "internal reference" thread, linked below, as I kind of saw this coming.
So butch. No. 14 in a saga.

It’s hard to stay up. Every time he’s gone up, he’s always come back down. It was thought that that was only because he was young. And now, with children and a devoted wife, he was supposed to be able to hold it together. So far, sure, but just barely. There were signs before Christmas but during the holidays, he injured his back on a ski trip. This was not widely disclosed and kept out of the press. Painkillers were prescribed. The big movie was pushed back. Cocktails were consumed in combination at events. No one remembers he actually went to rehab several years ago. Still, so far, he’s functioning. And things are great with his wife. She really tries to take care of him but she’s not always with him. When he’s out on his own, it gets messy. There have been times lately where he’s been so drunk, he’s the dude passed out on the couch when everyone else has gone home. Either that or he’s the dude who’s all over the tall, attractive model type at the Oscar party that his wife decided to skip. Oh yeah, that happened. It keeps happening. They were talking nose to nose. He gave her the full charm. A “later on” was definitely implied, while everyone around him just shrugged. Because it’s not the first time and it’s not the last time and it’s the secret they’re all expected to keep. Not because he doesn’t love the mother of his children, because he does, he really, really does. But between the pills and the alcohol, he’s losing control of that side of himself that’s been held in check for too long.
They used to be on youtube years ago but they've all been deleted since then. It's kind of strange that you can't find them anywhere online, since pretty much everything you can think of seems to be on the internet nowadays. Do you think Cher is so ashamed of them that she is preventing the public from seeing them ever again? IS SHE TRYING TO REWRITE HISTORY??!!

UU Gun Company Uses Michelangelo's David to Advertise a Huge Semi-Automatic Rifle
10 March 2014 Drama school graduates are not being made aware of the time it will take them to gain success as an actor and the reality of the industry, the outgoing director of the Old Vic’s talent development arm has said. Steve Winter, who is leaving Old Vic New Voices to pursue freelance work after nine years leading the London organisation, said: “Often, we are mopping up those who have huge expectations when they leave [drama training] and don’t realise that it’s the long game, that it’s a series of jobs and can be erratic. You can be above a pub, at the National Theatre and then before you know it back to a temp job.” He added: “In general, drama school is out of reach for most people, and certainly those that come out of drama school don’t always appear to be ready for the reality of it [the industry] anyway.” Winter said that, after leaving training, most graduates lacked the understanding of how long it would take them to gain a profile as an actor, and that they would be out of work for “90% of the time”. He added that they were also not aware of the contacts required to achieve success in the industry and how to connect with producers, director and writers. “A lot of our job initially is showing them pathways and making them understand that you are the business and the one that drives your own career. I’m not sure that is entirely explained often. The reality is you should be planning for five years and working out what your personal barometer of success is,” he said. Winter added that drama schools should be providing more information to graduates about how competitive and “crowded” the industry is. “If there are 18,000 actors in training, it’s possible they cannot all be good enough to succeed, so why are we telling them they are?,” he asked. Winter, who joined the Old Vic’s talent development arm in 2004, will be succeeded by Alexander Ferris – who is currently senior manager of OVNV’s community work. During his time with OVNV, Winter has produced five major productions and commissioned more than 60 plays.

Was this considered a good movie? I really thought it would re-launch her film career.
I'm binge watching Hell on Wheels on NetFlix, and wondering why on earth we haven't discussed Anson Mount, the lead actor. Tall, dark, and handsome, and with the best Southern accent I've heard on television. He's also 40 and no mention of ever having been married--is he of the homosexual persuasion?
So many of them just vanish utterly when their time is up: Tom Chase, Travis Wade, Eric Hanson, Kevin Williams, Trent Reed, Jake Andrews, Zak Spears, Lane Fuller, Derek Cameron... all of them were big stars fifteen years ago and now you never hear about them. Chase, Andrews, Spears and Cameron all did some work in the last ten years, but I haven't heard of any work they've done for five years or more. Are they all escorts now? Or do they find jobs outside of the sex industry?
Instead of 'excuse me?' or 'pardon?'. I find this rude. It's like they're going to backhand you if you give them any more lip.

I just saw her in an ad on TV and took a pic of it. Then I compared it to her "old" teeth. Looks like she has new veneers and added a bigger space between them. It's hard to tell by the pic I took, but it's quite a gap between her front teeth. Is she trying to be edgy now??

Before it attracted any national attention, advisers to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) offered guidance on the anti-gay legislation that she eventually vetoed at the end of February -- a veto that came down even though the bill's drafters say they made every change that the governor's office requested. Capitol Media Services reported Monday on the meetings that Brewer's advisers, Michael Hunter and Joe Sciarrota, had with the Center for Arizona Policy, which drafted and pushed the bill. They began in January before the legislative session commenced; the bill was introduced Jan. 14. CAP president Cathi Herrod told the news agency that her organization made every change Brewer's aides asked for. One of the biggest alterations was a three-pronged test to determine if somebody's exercise of a religious belief was covered by the proposed law. “The intent of the meetings... was to thoroughly vet the language, address their concerns, and make changes in the language pursuant to their concerns,” Herrod said. When Brewer vetoed the bill on Feb. 26, she said it was "broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences." Brewer's office told the news agency that there were "absolutely" no promises made that the governor would sign the legislation even after her office offered its feedback. Her office also stressed that it was normal for the governor's office to offer advice on upcoming legislation. Herrod also acknowledged that there were "no guarantees" about the bill being signed. Gay rights advocates said that the bill would effectively legitimize anti-LGBT discrimination by giving businesses and individuals covered by citing "religious freedom." Its passage through the state legislature led to a national backlash, with major GOP figures and constituencies urging Brewer to veto it, which she eventually did. That public outcry -- not the bill's language -- is what led to Brewer's veto, Herrod asserted. “The governor vetoed a bill that didn’t exist," she said.

Ask anyone who lives in the D.C. area about Craigslist when CPAC is in town. They will tell you that the casual encounters ads are rife with attendees looking for some weekend love. While some of the ads may be jokes, others are certainly real. Blogger Tony Bravo writes that CPAC is… “… one of the biggest gay hook-up destinations this side of the White Party? Given CPAC’s lack of enthusiasm for including gay conservative groups in the conference, this might come as a surprise to some of you. Then again, it might not. Admittedly it’s a very specific type of gay hook-up destination for most DL (“down low”) types…” So, without any further ado, here is a selection of Craigslist ads from the D.C. area (not edited for mistakes). These are NSFW! If you really want to, click the links. CPAC looking for discrete fun – m4m – 26 (Prince George’s County) Staying in town for the conference. Looking to get my rocks off. discretion assured. Versatile looking for a masc man in his 20s or 30s. CPAC – I need a MAN. NOW! – m4m – 36 (CPAC convention) Okay. So. I spend so much time in rural Indiana, CPAC is my only outlet for this sort of thing. What I’m looking for, you, a masculine Ayn Rand, me, the 47%. And I want you to slap me around hard and give it to me good. Or. . .you could bust in my room, catch me trying to enroll in a healthcare market place/state exchange, and the punish me for it. Punish me good. We can meet at the bar first, if you want. I will be wearing khakis and a navy blue blazer.

We begin by you storming into my room with the other guys. The other guys will proceed to beat me (paddles, whips, floggers is up to them! or be creative ;-) After I have been beaten, I want you to threaten my life and tell me that I am going to die for what I did. I got a nerf gun for this fantasy and I want you to blindfold me and place a garbage can next to me. Here is the most important part… Shoot the nerf gun at the garbage can and NOT me. I want to feel like you are going to shoot me but at the last moment you do not.

Has anyone seen the commercials for this new reality series? I was surprised that it's a reality series when I Googled it because the commercial's production values look like it's for a standard half hour sitcom. It's supposed to be about a self-made millionaire, his wife and five kids. But, is this man not screamingly gay? And the son who comes to the door in the commercial pings to high heaven.

I say "stupid" not because I''ve seen it, but the commercials for it make me nauseous with the acappella "dah dah da dah dah dah dahhh" music, tight shots of the cast members looking pensively into the camera or repeating some mega cheesy line, the dark haired woman who seems like she poses for every shot of every scene she''s in.\ \ Seriously, it must be the most douchey show on television if it resembles the commercials in the least.
I had forgotten how delicious stuffed olives taste. The big wad of pimento has a texture all its own. Thank the gods for inspiring Costco to carry these delights. I finally bought a product I didn't like at Costco, it is their Rum baba's. The rum is quite good, but the wads of dough soaking in rum are terrible. It's an import, so I don't expect to see them there again. I going to suggest Costco add Red Dragon cheese too. The mention of that stuff made me look up. The stuff sounds very interesting. Cheddar flavored with ale and mustard seeds. I'll report back when it arrives at one of the stores.

Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) said American Jewish organizations are selling out on Israel in favor of the Obama administration. “What has been shocking has been seeing and observing Jewish organizations who, it appears, have made it their priority to support the political priority and the political ambitions of the president over the best interests of Israel. They sold out Israel,” Bachmann said. She said this in reference to a Feb. 27 letter by major Democratic donors, many of them Jewish, to party congressional leaders urging them not to advance new Iran sanctions legislation. “This is clearly against Israel’s best interest,” she said. Earlier in the interview, Bachmann said that Obama “was helped enormously by the Jewish community. He made all sorts of promises in 2008 to the Jewish community through [the American Israel Public Affairs Committee]. He did it again in 2012 when he was running to be re-elected. He made promises that he would have Israel’s back, and in return the Jewish community gave him their votes.” “The Jewish community gave him their votes, their support, their financial support and as recently as last week, 48 Jewish donors who are big contributors to the president wrote a letter to the Democrat [sic] senators in the U.S. Senate to tell them to not advance sanctions against Iran.” As an American Jew, do you agree or disagree with Bachmann?

Does anyone remember this? They were very handsomely mounted (for the time) productions of fairy tales done for Showtime in the style of classic illustrators with all-star casts: The Frog Prince with Teri Garr and Robin Williams, done in the style of Maxfield Parrish; The Princess and the Pea, with Liza Minnelli and Tom Conti, done in the style of Aubrey Beardsley; etc. They were often very funny and beautifully done. They're usually narrated by Shelley Duvall, the creative spark behind the whole thing, which is too bad because you can already tell her hold on reality is slightly tenuous (and she doesn't have a good voice).
BY ALEC MACGILLIS--The New Republic Has there ever been a political reversal of fortune as rapid and as absolute as the one just experienced by Chris Christie? At warp speed, the governor of New Jersey has gone from the most popular politician in the country to the most embattled; from the Republicans’ brightest hope for 2016 to a man with an FBI target on his back. One minute, he was releasing jokey vanity videos starring Alec Baldwin and assorted celebrity pals; the next, he was being ridiculed by his lifelong idol, Bruce Springsteen. Mere weeks ago, Christie was a straight-talking, corruption-busting everyman. Now, he is a liar, a bully, a buffoon. What is remarkable about this meltdown is that it isn’t the result of some deep secret that has been exposed to the world, revealing a previously unimagined side to the candidate. Many of the scandals and mini-scandals and scandals-within-scandals that the national media is salivating over have been in full view for years. Even the now-infamous Bridgegate was percolating for months before it exploded into the first major story of the next presidential race. Case in point: Last year, just before Thanksgiving, I traveled to Trenton to see Bill Baroni, Christie’s top staff appointee at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, get grilled by state legislators about the closure of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge in September. It was clear that something fishy was going on. Baroni gave a command performance, defending the closures as part of a traffic study, but more than that, as a matter of justice. Discussing whether Fort Lee deserved three dedicated lanes during rush hour, Baroni demanded, “Is this fair?” His voice actually cracked with emotion. “And if it is not fair, how do you not study it?” But there were only a handful of reporters in the room to witness his melodramatics, and it was six weeks before the national media caught on to the story. Outside New Jersey, at least, it seemed inconceivable that Christie, good-government evangelist, scourge of Soprano State shenanigans, could preside over a piece of payback so outrageous and so petty. Now, of course, we know that there was no traffic study and that the lanes were deliberately shut to punish the mayor of Fort Lee, who had declined to endorse Christie for reelection. (“Is it wrong that I’m smiling,” crowed a Christie aide in a text message, even as congestion got so dire that ambulance workers were forced to respond to an emergency on foot.) We also know that this act of retribution wasn’t an isolated incident: The mayor of Hoboken, to name just one example, has claimed that Christie’s office pressured her to approve a big development project represented by a Christie crony—or risk losing recovery aid for damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. And yet, even post-Bridgegate, the prevailing interpretations of Christie fundamentally miss the mark. He has been so singularly successful at constructing his own mythology—as a reformer, a crusader, a bipartisan problem-solver—that people have never really seen him clearly. Over the past three months, I talked to more than 50 people who have crossed paths with Christie throughout his career—legislators, officials, Democrats, Republicans, lawyers, longtime New Jersey politicos. (Christie himself didn’t respond to a detailed request for comment.) The problem with Christie isn’t merely that he is a bully. It’s that his political career is built on a rotten foundation. Christie owes his rise to some of the most toxic forces in his state—powerful bosses who ensure that his vow to clean up New Jersey will never come to pass. He has allowed them to escape scrutiny, rewarded them for their support, and punished their enemies. All along, even as it looked like Christie was attacking the machine, he was really just mastering it.

Of those filmmakers who started their career within the last 20 years (or so) and are currently the critical darlings, who's the most overrated?

In his blockbuster biography, “Joan Crawford, Hollywood Martyr”, author David Bret reveals that the gritty but glamorous actress grew up with a sadistic brother and an abusive stepdad, bedded a slew of matinee idols during her five marriages, once tried to seduce gay heartthrob Rock Hudson by asking him to pretend she was Clark Gable, and forced FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to erase her sex arrest record by threatening to expose him as a drag queen! Born Lucille Fay LeSueur in San Antonio, Texas, the future star was terrorized by her older brother Hal, who enjoyed locking her up in dark closets. Her single mom Anna was the local tramp until she married a deliveryman named Harry Hough. Bret says Hough had a lust for very young girls and attempted to rape his stepdaughter. By the time Crawford was 14, she was already following in her mom’s sleazy footsteps, entertaining boys from the local high school football team – and demanding money for her services. A few years later, she launched her film career via the “casting couch” at MGM studios, infamously quipping, “It sure beat the cold, hard floor.” Crawford’s career spanned 50 years and 80 movies – and her sex life was equally prolific. Bret says she slept with a veritable Who’s Who of Hollywood hunks, including Glenn Ford, John Wayne, Yul Brenner, Jeff Chandler, Dana Andrews, Kirk Douglas and even 17-year-old Our Gang alum Jackie Cooper. But she had a special fondness for bisexual men, accounting for three of her five husbands. She even tried to seduce notoriously gay Rock Hudson, creeping naked into a shower with him and purring in his ear, “Close your eyes and pretend I’m Clark Gable.” Gable was the closest Crawford would get to true love. Bret says he fit her mold – a strappingly handsome actor, who before hitting it big was known to flirt with men at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, prepared to “do anything” for money. “She fell on him like a sex-starved bird of prey,” Bret writes, noting that their passionate off-and-on affair lasted 28 years despite the fact that Gable was “a closet bisexual with halitosis.” Crawford had a closet stuffed with skeletons too – including some pornographic “stag” films and an arrest for prostitution when she was trying to break into showbiz. Bret writes that she and the bigwigs at MGM had to pay off blackmailers from time to time, including her own brother Hal, but Crawford took care of one threat herself. Bret recalls how she once met with FBI chief Hoover and struck a deal – she wouldn’t reveal he was a cross-dresser if he’d destroy all the records proving she’d once been a hooker. She was tough as a wife as well, emasculating her husbands by making them kneel and beg for sex. “Joan Crawford wasn’t the first Hollywood actress to trade sex for stardom,” says Bret. “But few have matched her ruthlessness.”
I know he had all those kids and all...but that show was so fey.
I think EVERYONE''s gay.
Queerty Reporting The pair were reportedly dating as early as last July when, according to a source close to the couple who spoke exclusively to Queerty, “they met in AA and were kicked out of the chapter for breaking the no-dating rules.” This was around the same time Jackson shaved his head, got a few interesting tattoos and grew a mustache amid his “mutual” split from Lapka. Speculation that Jackson switched coasts and began dating a younger man in order to “start fresh” began, and today, our source clears up come misconceptions about Jackson’s fiance: Jason Landau is NOT an actor, he’s an instructor with The Landmark Forum, a controversial offshoot of EST that’s been under investigation many, many times by state and fed gov’t for cult like activities and ponzi-scheme-like activity.
Cheyenne Jackson's New Fiancee Jason Landau, Is a Recruiter For Alleged “Self-Help” Cult
I mean, he never said a peep about it until the mid-90s, plus he was married to a woman. How could he be gay when he obviously liked vagine enough to marry it. Besides, we all know deep down gay men really want pussy and are just scared because of childhood issues. I think that guy David Furnish is just his manager or something and they are just trying to get publicity with that gay thing.

Saw an ad for car for a cheap price in Seaside Heights, NJ. How can I determine if it was flooded during Hurricane Sandy? Don't think CarFax would have that information.
What's wrong with Selena Gomez? Why is she attracted to this little punk? Is she a punk too?
So, I started posting on a straight forum and there are so much homophobic shit that goes on there. There was this one comment I remember posted by many posters that went along the lines of homophobia is unnatural (they also said the anus was never meant for sex) and that gays are gross because they put their penis in each other's anus when they love each other. These comments make me sick; how would you deal with this? These comments are sort of depressing and damaging.

The host pings to high heaven despite supposedly being married to his designer, a female. My bf watched it with me last night and asked me who that snippy bottom bitch was supposed to be. Any one else think he's either closeted or just outright lying and he's not really married at all?

Insightful article about a guy who gives up on online hook-ups. He's right, you know.
Whose was it? Probably NSFW
1. DO NOT say "I don't like to let other people work in" or "I like to work out by myself" when someone asks you to work in on a machine/bench you're using. DO let the person work in with you. 2. DO NOT change the channel of the TV that's playing in the weight room, especially if it's sports. And certainly don't change it to House Hunters International on HGTV. DO leave it as is, or if you must change it, ask others in the weight room if it's ok and make sure you change it to another sporting event. 3. DO NOT wander aimlessly on the gym floor looking in awe at all the machines and weights, like a flyover tourist staring at all the tall buildings in NYC. I and other gym vets are on a mission at the gym. We know what body part we're there to train and which machines/weights we need to use. You're clueless wandering takes time away from completing that mission. DO come to the gym with a mission each day and a decent idea of how you want to complete that mission. 4. DO NOT stand next to the water fountain and chat with your gurl friend about Lady Gaga or the Beverly Hills housewives. Again, we are on a timed mission, and your blocking the fountain in order to make inane chatter screws up our timing. DO take your stupid conversation somewhere else. 5. DO NOT make mindless chit chat with me or anyone. I don't give a rat's ass that you hate your job or that you got a great deal on your new gym membership for your new year's resolution. I am there to work out, not to hear about your dull, pointless little life. DO not talk to anyone unless it's about weight training and supplements. 6. DO NOT take a flat bench, place it the narrow aisle, and park your ass on it to adjust your ipod settings. This is pure stupidity. Not only is it dangerous, but you're using a bench for a trivial activity that could be used constructively by someone wanting to lift weights. DO stand in the corner if you must play with your ipod. 7. DO NOT lazily leave the weights on the barbell when you're done, or leave dumbbells on the floor to create an obstacle course. DO restock all weights when you're done. 8. DO NOT leave a bench without wiping it down, especially if you're coughing and sneezing all over it. DO take a power towel and the sanitizer provided and wipe down the bench. 9. DO NOT take up a full bench with your belongings in the locker room. Bench space is limited, and hogging a bench is just impolite. DO take a portion for the bench for yourself, leaving some room for another member to place his belongings on. 10. DO NOT stare at me on the gym floor. Yes, I work hard on my body and I understand the need to ogle, but this is a gym, not a bar. Save it for Boxers or the Eagle, or whereever it is you go to meet men. DO subtlely take a few peeks, if you must stare. 11. DO NOT even attempt to have sex with me in in the sauna or steam if you don't have a good body. You've been warned. Again, I work hard on my physique, and I only hook up with guys who are similarly dedicated to their bodies. DO hook up with the other out of shape trolls and leave the hot guys for each other. 12. DO NOT leave your jizz soaked towels on the sauna or steam floor. That's absolutely repulsive and reflects your character. DO toss them in the laundy receptacles when you're done taking care of business. That's what they're there for.
Like this one (oh .. sure you can)

"People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates, The President was photographed donning denim on Saturday, when he called Putin from the Oval Office to discuss the situation in Ukraine.

The title of the book is going to be "Prince Lestat." The book is going to be coming out on Oct. 28 and it's going to be a true sequel to Rice's book "Queen of the Damned." "Queen of the Damned" was published in 1988. It was a story about Lestat becoming a rock-star, waking up Akasha, the Queen of the vampires, and how the other vampires had to band together to fix Lestat's mistake. "Queen of the Damned," was made into a 2002 film. This announcement is one of the biggest ones for fans of the Vampire Chronicles series, since Rice hasn't written a new one since "Blood Canticle" in 2003.

Okay, it's a remake/reboot/whatever, but still... it premiered last night right after "Arrow" on the CW. I thought it pretty much rocked. I'll definitely keep tuning in. And of course, it's a CW show, so there was some hot male eye-candy for sure :-)
What a great fun show and then every 20 minutes it's four minutes of fear mongering and guilt. I can understand that Logo has a demographic that maybe suited to all of the HIV prevention PSAs and HIV testing commercials but that seems like the ONLY commercial that airs. I respect the desire to be informed and support the cause but the commercial with the former queens scaring people into being tested -- HARDON KILLER. Makes me want to turn the show OFF.

Summary of last thread and this new thread (I can see the future): He's hot. He's yummy. Anything new on him? Is he still doing porn? Where is he from? He's not really from there? What's his real name? That accent sounds....? He's really from New York.
Be honest!

60? Or 65?
Will he ever break into television or films? Is Queer As Folk the peak of his career. Looking at imdb, the projects he has can't be paying him much.
I went to the website, I googled it, I checked the card catalogue at the library. Who is that?

Gwyneth is positively charming by comparison to this little rich bitch. A $3.5m book advance for such wisdom as: "I went to my first Women's Action Coalition meeting at age three." "I've been in therapy since I was seven." "When I was about nine I developed a terrible fear of being anorexic." "When I was about nine I wrote a vow of celibacy.... I knew my mother had waited until the summer after she graduated [high school]." "At 24 I felt like an old maid...." "When I got to college I suddenly had the sense that my upbringing hadn't been very "real." "Once I had a vegan dinner party which was chronicled for the style section of the New York Times."
Sorry but it doesn't look good. Maybe they just crash landed on a desert island between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing.
First sneak peek at the trailer. What do you think?
As a Non-American, I''m under the impression that (American) football and baseball are equally popular in the US, but that Americans get much more sentimental about the latter. Is that correct? And if yes, why?
I always have, since I was a kid. Loved when the daytime talk shows like "Donahue" and "Geraldo" would have them on. Loved when the "exercise" magazines featured male dance troupes. I almost like men wearing almost nothing than nothing at all. I love finding converted to DVD old stripper videos. Yeah, the mes are greasy and long-haired (80s) and often straight (though I don't always believe that every troupe is sooo straight and there are no gay men. Come on.) Weirdly, nowadays it seems like more and more male dancers have their dancers just in small posing straps with a full back. Makes no difference as it's still hot but anybody know why this is?
At the link below see the football player behind him sneak a touch at his butt. Fortunately, the camera man caught that moment. Unfortunately, Brady's face is not that great.
When I was growing up, boxers were for old men and nerds. Normal guys wore briefs.\ I still do. \ Am I hopelessly behind the times? Do college boys now wear boxers? Guys in their 20s and 30s? What do YOU wear?\ What do you fantasize about seeing cute guys wearing?

Like many American gay men, I've got a little secret -- and it's called The A-List New York. Currently showing on Viacom's LGBT-focused network, Logo, this same-sex send-up of Bravo's hit Real Housewives franchise charts the high-drama antics of six gay New Yorkers working in fashion, media and modeling. The A-Listers, like the real Real Housewives, engage in heavy doses of self-indulgence and -aggrandizement -- brought to life against a backdrop of bars, boutiques and fitness facilities. Brazenly touted by Logo as New York's "gay elite," this crew of homo hot messes has become the must-see TV series that everyone loves to hate. The reasons to revile The A-List -- whose final "reunion" episode airs on Monday -- are as understandable as they are enjoyable. At this moment of crucial LGBT activism, the show's half-dozen leads indulge in some of the sorriest gay-male stereotyping ever witnessed on the small screen. These men are venal and vain; bullying and bitchy; uncouth, uncultured and almost unanimously unsympathetic. Perhaps worst of all, they're not even particularly nice looking! That Logo would even green-light such a damaging display suggests that entertainment Armageddon may well be upon us. Or at least it will be next season, when the series expands to include Los Angeles and Dallas incarnations. Although The A-List has received scant "mainstream" media attention, critics from major outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post have properly skewered its political incorrectness. But beyond the obvious clich%C3%A9s and caricatures, The A-List's greatest offense is its unfathomable lack of diversity. Indeed, despite taking place in a city that's 55 percent nonwhite, The A-List has few leading characters of color, and no African Americans. Of the six main protagonists, just two -- Brazilian model Rodiney Santiago and Canadian photographer Mike Ruiz -- could possibly count as ethnic minorities. At a time when LGBT people are fighting to end "Don't ask, don't tell" and quell a quasi epidemic of teen suicides, many might ask why whitewashing on trash TV should even matter. The problem is that it's not only D-list programs like The A-List that render invisible black members of the LGBT community. Of the 23 regular LGBT characters on shows in the 2010-2011 prime-time season, not one is African American, according to GLAAD (the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), the leading LGBT media-watchdog group. As GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios puts it, "Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender African-American people remain largely invisible in the media today." (more at link)
I don't mean "pretend" rape with a guy who wanted to acted out a fantasy, or hoping on top of a guy when you knew his "no" was really "yes," I mean knock him down force yourself on another man without consent rape? Did you do it? Why? Can you live with youtself?

Sexy or insanely dirven to get a lot of hits on Youtube..?
When I was a kid, my jerk older brother told me to jack off with Tiger Balm, and that it was "so awesome". The first stroke was fine, but I thought my dick was going to burn off after the second stroke. I tried to get it off with a towel and it got worse. I jumped into the shower and when the water hit it, it got even more painful. I was screaming and freaking out, so when my mom ran in I was in too much pain to be embarrassed. Some of it got up inside my urethra, because, of course, my brother told me to put a whole bunch on me. I had to lay there in burning pain while my mom inspected my penis. (horrible) Then she thought we should go to the ER where the Dr had flush it out or something. I remember him looking into the hole and using a q-tip and also a little tiny hose thing with water. I had to ice my balls too. Now I don't use anything but fragrance free lube. My dick hurts just thinking about it.
New episode tonight, as the second half of season 3 premiers! Monday, Jan 6th, at 10pm, 9pm central!

Celebrity Caterer posted this blind item in his Oscars 2014 thread: [thread]This actor is rumored to be dipping his toes in the coming out pot. Before this I had never heard he might be gay. Yet jokes on the set are being made by him. Plays a womanizer (don't they all?) and crazy gay buzz suddenly abounds. The answer was superhot James Wolk, star of The Crazy Ones, Mad Men and Happy Endings. This thread is for gossip, sightings and photo appreciation of one of the hottest potentially gay men alive.
So it looks like Joe Jonas may be gay. His photographer inadvertently outed him in a rant on Tumblr about Taylor Swift breaking up with Harry Styles. Rob Hoffman wrote: "How many break-ups is it going to take for you girls to realize that Taylor Swift isn’t a good role model unless your dream in life is to die alone? The only redeeming quality of any boy band these days is betting on wHich one is going to date Taylor Swift, and as a result, come out of the closet 2 months later." The only boy band members that Taylor has dated are: Harry Styles and Joe Jonas. Harry hasn’t come out, so… Also, the reason for Harry Styles dumping Taylor Swift is because she didn’t want to have sex with him — and just wanted to talk about antiques, according to RADAR. So Taylor is a prude — and now she has an image crisis with everyone thinking she’s a whore for having very public relationships that last only a couple of months. The irony. Lessons of the day: Joe Jonas is gay Taylor Swift is a whore Harry Styles loves sex Accurate, yes?
Tell us about a sexual encounter when, afterwards, even you thought, "''damn I really am a whore."
I've heard this for years, but always thought if you were a "good person", people would want you on their side, help you out, and value you. Not buying into that anymore, at least not from a professional standpoint. Over the past four years, I have seen countless examples of ruthless, manipulative, calculating people getting ahead by lying, being two-faced, stealing work, or simply kissing the right people's asses. It's not in my nature to be cut-throat, so I'd rather have a comfortable life and personally rewarding career than go for the top of that professional mountain. I would get a blog, but it's much simpler to just write this paragraph.
This great comedic and dramatic actress died along with her Mother and others in a plane crash 72 years ago yesterday 1/16/42. She was only 33. One of Clark's male friends said that he had never heard a woman curse like her. She had the foulest mouth in their crowd and the fact that Clark got a kick out of it just made her get worse. A man's woman.

"The Pitt-Hanks Continuum" is my new phrase du jour... The toughest Oscar race this year was for best actor. Right until the awards began, the race was almost certainly down to Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave and Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club. (McConaughey was the eventual winner.) What also seemed certain was that Leonardo DiCaprio was not going to win this year, or possibly any time soon, unless he becomes a different kind of actor, a much less cool one. Cool guys don’t win Oscars. Although modern coolness emerged out of jazz and spread through popular music, the movies brought cool to the masses by giving audiences unparalleled access to it. Where else can you sit and stare at cool people for hours? The movies have been good to cool, and cool has been good to the movies. So why is it that so few of the actors who have embodied cool have ever won the Academy Award for best actor? Consider these icons of cool, all of them non-winners: Cary Grant, Richard Burton, Robert Mitchum, James Dean, Steve McQueen, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, and Tom Cruise. Paul Newman and Humphrey Bogart won late in their careers, after age had worn away some of their cool. Two other cool winners, Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson, each received one of their two awards in their fifties.
[italic]Italy's culture minister has expressed outrage over an advertisement by a US weapons firm showing Michelangelo's David holding a rifle. Dario Franceschini said the image was offensive and violated the law. A number of Italian media web sites carried the image of the advertisement showing David holding a bolt-action rifle. The advertisement, from Illinois-based ArmaLite, carries the line "a work of art" in promoting the $3,000 rifle. Mr Franceschini urged the company to withdraw the advertisement for the AR-50A1. He said in a tweet: "The image of David, armed, offends and infringes the law. We will take action against the American company so that it immediately withdraws its campaign." Historical Heritage and Fine Arts Board curator Cristina Acidini has issued a legal notice to ArmaLite to withdraw the image, saying it distorts the artwork. The government says it has copyright on the commercial use of images of David. Angelo Tartuferi, director of Florence's Accademia Gallery, where the statue is on display, told Repubblica newspaper: "The law says that the aesthetic value of the work cannot be distorted. "In this case, not only is the choice in bad taste but also completely illegal." The marble statue of the Biblical hero was created by Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504 and is considered a masterpiece of the Renaissance.[/italic] (the text is from BBC, the link is to the image in question)

I was at the gym today and "Another One Bites the Dust" and We Will Rock You" played back to back. I'm 28, so I had no idea that "Queen" did both songs (along with "We Are the Champions") with Freddie Mercury as the lead until a quick wiki search. So my question is: How big was "Queen" here in the states and was it well-known that Mercury was gay? BTW, what a voice.
Yes, we know she looks like shit now, but she's full of it too. Apparently she was on The Talk recently and discussed her reconciliation with John Ritter: "We did (reconcile). I was in a beauty salon and I hadn't talked to him in a long time. I really felt so badly because I love John Ritter and it was over a contract dispute that never should have infiltrated John and I... "In the beauty salon, the receptionist comes over and says, 'You have a phone call... It's John Ritter.' I go over and pick up the phone and he says, 'Listen, I forgive you.' I had a little trouble with that, but I let that go, and I said, 'I love you and I've always loved you.'" Really? Because a few years ago her story was: "I was in the bathroom at a premiere for "Victor/Victoria" and [Amy Yasbeck] walked in and -- she's this beautiful woman. And she said, 'I am John Ritter's wife.' And I didn't know her. And, she said, 'You and John have to get together.' And she dragged me out of the bathroom and brought me to his table. And the two of us just looked at each other and hugged each other, and cried."

I just discovered him and think he was sex on a stick in his early days. I haven't sat through his movies,which I assume are crap. Why did he get so overweight and messed up with prescription drugs? I read he had money problems at the end because of all the leeches he supported. I realize many entertainers are haunted and desperately unhappy when they're not onstage but why couldn't he get healthy, free himself of enablers and make comfortable investments? Anybody know?
From Deadline: "One critic said “it could be so bad it’s good”. Another compared it to the kind of exploitation pictures Roger Corman regularly turned out." "Efron... spends a lot of time running around in his jockey shorts in the movie (at one point even dancing in the pouring rain in his tighty whities with Kidman)..."
This is like my worst nightmare come to life. Given where she was found she probably offed herself, but to think that no one on earth even knows or cares whether you're alive or dead is a good enough reason to end it all.

I hope not. Yes, she's 80, but could easily pass for early 50's. That's including the plastic surgery, which she did go overboard with. She's still as sharp as a tack. And still as edgy as ever.

There's talent there that hasn't been fully uncovered yet. I think people are too cruel towards her.
I have spent 10 years trying be a model that earned me nothing but a desperate reputation in the modeling industry. Not 1 agency would sign me or find me a job. As I continued to fight for my succeed it has set myself back 10 years behind my peers. Wasted a lot of time trying to make it in life that gave me a jobless, homelessness and countless excuses. So many rejections. The digitals you sent me look like a younger boy with great skin. In person you don't look as strong as the pictures. - RED MODELS Your rough facial skin were the reasons we didnt take digitals on you or ask for your contact info. We wish you the best. - FORD MODELS EUROPE I still have not found my success or a better story to tell unless i lied so i could impress my friends. It's becoming a real problem because i just getting older and lonely and even more desperate. Should i denounce my dream and search for better opportunities and a new place in life somewhere else ? Or should i stay and risk wasting another 10 years wishing i should have done something differently ? I just don't see why i should stay and fight for something that has never worked for me and gave me the same results year after year. If no one not thinks or even believes i am a model i think that speaks for itself... But then there are people who tell me I should follow my dream, believe in myself and stick it out. What would you do?

You are not ready to handle the eastern European spice of Bulgaria’s bearded pop gypsy Azis. He’s sweating with his comrades in a hot vodka sauna and wants to feed you some high-heeled raspberry realness. Are you bold enough to savor the flavor? Azis is no fly by night. In fact, his own home country elected the 33-year-old as the 21st greatest Bulgarian of all time. In 2005 Azis ran as an openly gay candidate for Bulgarian parliament, in 2006 he performed in the Eurovision song contest, in 2007 he caused an uproar when the mayor of Sofia pledged to take down billboards of Azis and his husband kissing shirtless even though the city tolerated much more tawdry heterosexual ads in the past. In short, Azis is our new superhero, lemon high-heeled pumps and all.

1. The Academy is a country of old men. Possible upset in a major category. In private many are confessing to having voted for ______________. 2. TV, not films alas. This actor is rumored to be dipping his toes in the coming out pot. Before this I had never heard he might be gay. Yet jokes on the set are being made by him. Plays a womanizer (don't they all?) and crazy gay buzz suddenly abounds. 3. This monster star likes to travel with a chef to whip her up macrobiotic, juice, or serious pasta depending on what craze she is embracing that day. Constant ads run for a chef to travel with her as her assistant likes to have replacements waiting in the wings. She tends to fire them after 3 to 6 weeks because nothing tastes good to her save the fatty carby meals she really loves. 4. This child of one of the most vile and hated entertainers in the world was raise on a vegetarian, macrobiotic, and organic diet. Recently he was sobbing because he is afraid to tell his mother that he has begun eating meat and LOVES it. Who is mommy dearest? 5. This star has been rehearsing his speech for days to make it look impromptu and humble. Neither are true. He believes he will win and KNOWS he should. If for any reason there is an upset in this category expect some bad behavior. He is hungry for this win. 6. This Character is a rediscovered delight. When you get this actor drunk he sometimes goes into character and reveals Actor dish all in the guise of 'comedy'. It's funny cause it's true. Name the character, or the actor and I will tell you the name of one of the men he has outed. Of course it won't be news to many of you. 7. Why the outbursts? This actor had damaged testicles as a child and has been on therapeutic Testosterone his entire life. He periodically switches between the low dose gel and the high dose shots. Could his crazy behavior be roid rage? 8. Never won, much beloved. This actress does not go out a lot. Recently she has told a friend that she would travel and accept a lifetime achievement award from the Academy but ONLY if it were on live TV. She will not be shunted to the off broadcast ceremony if she does this. She is constantly touched by her fans who send fan mail. She is shocked that she is still so beloved and remembered. Whatever. 9. She wants one more amazing film before she fades into a formaldehyde haze. This aging actress has finally told a film maker she would go off the botox and even without make up if he could create the kind of role that would give her another win. 10. Not enough time for Emergency plastic surgery this older one has been in body rehab prior to tonight's appearance. Fat farm, facials, botox, even a vintage girdle. She may not be able to breathe but fuck it, she looks good.

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

Anyone? Anyone? Any and all info is appreciated. I'd also like to know specifically: Are housing prices there still dropping? Do people actually live there during the summer or do they vacate? Am I justified in being a bit nervous about living ON the San Andreas fault line? What's the overall quality of life there? How are the people? PS seems like such a unique, quiet little city...I think I (or even my retired parents) would enjoy living there. Any insight?
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.
He must be straight. He looks awful. No gay man would let himself go like that?
Is he gay? He's a cutie. Talented too.
Ok so I was on jack'd and im super picky so this very attractive guy messages me. We chat a bit and exchange phone numbers, pics etc. He's definitely my type. I have a sync on my phone that connects me to peoples facebook via emails and numbers stored. So I happen to stumble across his fb to find out he is married to a woman. He told me he had roommates no mention of a wife meanwhile I have several booty pics of him bent over naked showing his asshole, but he said he had a girl last nov. That he broke up with and is single, but as of feb 27th he has a new pic of him and his wife together. Should I have the right to be upset at him for almost dragging me to participate in adultery? And all I keep thinking is this guy is flaunting his abs and booty hole all over jack'd looking to get fucked. His poor wife which im sure he doesn't use protection with can be subjected to any STD. And he's a very attractive guy. What should I do I'm ignoring him, but what if I could possibly save the wife from getting an STD or HIV. Its been on my brain a lot lately. If I didn't see his fb I would have been blowing homeboys back out on the same bed he shares with his wife disgusted at the thought. I have since closed my jack'd account.
Let's post pictures of amazing balls... goose-eggs, low-hangers, or just plain amazing sacks. Whatever, as long as the focus is on the balls!
Hollywood Reporter: [quote]It's breeders against bros in Neighbors, Nicholas Stoller's tale of two young parents who buy their first home only to watch the house next door be invaded by a fraternity bent on one-upping their debauchery-pioneering forebears. Very funny at the outset and escalating steadily for most of its brisk running time, the film represents a big win for neophyte screenwriters Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien, and should return Stoller to the commercial peak of his debut Forgetting Sarah Marshall. [quote]Efron is credibly hateful here, his vacant eyes radiating dumb defiance as the frat taunts and abuses the Radners. By contrast, Rogen and Byrne work each other into a frenzy, first trying to stop the pranks, then to avenge them. As the couple's plots grow increasingly aggressive, Byrne gets more freedom than she often does, stealing scenes with last-ditch deviousness. The Playlist gives it an A- [quote]The last time Universal screened one of their big summer comedies at South by Southwest, it turned out to be "Bridesmaids" – a movie that not only proved to be a massive financial success (and a breakthrough for its co-writer/star Kristin Wiig) but a critical one as well, even earning an Academy Award nomination for its screenplay. So a fair amount of anticipation greeted tonight's "work-in-progress" (although look, it seems totally finished) screening of the new Seth Rogen/Zac Efron comedy "Neighbors." And while "Neighbors" doesn't come close to capturing "Bridesmaids'" emotional honesty, it could have a chance of one-upping that film in the box office. Simply put, "Neighbors" is one of the funniest, most visually inventive studio comedies in recent memory. HitFix gives it an A: [quote]Many of the modern comedies that are considered classics become part of the pop culture lexicon, endlessly quoted by fans in all sorts of different contexts. I have a strong suspicion that "Neighbors" is going to be one of those films that is simply absorbed whole by audiences. Not only is it uproariously funny and almost breathtakingly dirty, it is better written than it needs to be on a character level, delivering completely on its premise. Variety: [quote]Relegated to middling girlfriend roles for far too long, Byrne is here cast as the most foul-mouthed matriarch this side of “August: Osage County,” and she attacks the role with almost maniacal enthusiasm. But it’s the eternally shirtless ex-teen idol Efron, surprisingly, who delivers the film’s most intriguing performance, crafting a dime-turning combination of brotherly earnestness and Mephistophelean sadism that will ring true to anyone who ever found themselves on the losing end of a wooden paddle.
They've been letting her bark all night next door and she would pace outside by my bedroom window. I tried earphones and earplugs but it was a shrieking kind of sound, with howling. She was young, part retriever. I guess they were trying to get her to grow up. They're horrible people and I couldn't talk to them. No one else would do anything. People here aren't like that. Eventually someone just would have given her antifreeze of something. So I started tossing raw meatballs over the fence with a tiny amount of my Xanax and Diazepam in them, one each night around 10. It worked fine. But I guess there was a build up of something because Tuesday morning I heard screaming and they had found the dog dead with froth all over its face. The woman came to my door and asked if I had seen anything and then as much as asked if I did something. I said no of course not, I loved Shelly. (I would give her treats and even walked her when she was a puppy a few times before the people got weird) Now she's going all over accusing people. She says they're getting two pit bulls and if anything happens she's going to start civil war. Now I don't know what to do. Should I just go and tell her the truth? It was an accident. I could say I was trying to soothe the dog and it was a terrible mistake. If she gets pit bull they'll be barking all the time and I'll have to move, and I can't afford more rent. I'm afraid they'll hurt my cats, which Shelly never did. I have an understanding with my landlord and I'm worried. Can I be arrested if I confess? All I wanted was some sleep. I know how this sounds, but any ideas will be helpful. Has this ever happened to you?
Anybody?
How come none of you bitches told me? Anne Murray Calls It Quits Anne Murray has spent two thirds of her life as a singer, blazing plenty of trails for her fellow female Canadian artists throughout the course of her career. She was the first female Canadian solo artist to top the U.S. charts, the first to earn a gold record (for the 1970 tune, 'Snowbird'), and she's sold 54 million albums to date. So, Ann figures this is as good a time as any to put on the brakes. The legendary singer tells the Contra Costa Times that her 2008 'Anne Murray's Christmas Album,' will likely be the last record she ever makes. "I've been doing it for 41 years. I'm grateful that I feel comfortable in the fact that I'm not going to be doing it anymore, and I didn't know that I could come to this, but I can still sing ... and what better time to pack it in than that?" she says. Even if Ann puts her singing career to rest, she's still an accomplished author. Her latest book, 'All of Me,' was No. 2 on Canada's best-seller list.

A new opiate called Zohydro, developed by Zogenix and approved by the FDA, will enter California markets this month, despite the protests of a number of doctors and experts. Zohydro is ten times more potent than Vicodin. According to the manufacturers of the drug (who have issued a "responsibility statement"), it is intended for "the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate." Made with only pure hydrocodone and no Tylenol or acetaminophen, the pill is easily crushed, making it easier to abuse. According to Dr. Jim Keany of St. Joseph's Hospital in Orange County, one pill could kill an infant. "Other drugs are mixed with Tylenol and nobody wants to inject all that Tylenol because they know it will wipe out their liver. So the fact that this has no Tylenol, it's the perfect drug of abuse for drug users," Keany said. A coalition called Fed Up!, comprised of doctors, medical professionals, and experts, wrote the FDA an open letter at the end of February urging officials to reverse their approval of Zohydro. In the midst of a severe drug addiction epidemic fueled by overprescribing of opioids, the last thing the country needs is a new, dangerous, high-dosage opioid. Particularly at a time when over 50 percent of drug abusers get pills from doctors and friends, the FDA seems poised for fiercer monitoring. The United States consumes over 84% of the world's oxycodone supply, and 99% of its hydrocodone supply. According to Zogenix's site, the drug comes with a warning that counts "addiction; abuse and misuse; life-threatening respiratory depression; accidental exposure; and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome," as well as fatalities when combined with alcohol, among its list of potential side effects.

So many of the places are rundown -- without a designer's sure touch! And there's no kale there! [quote]“New Orleans is not cosmopolitan,” said the actress Tara Elders. “There’s no kale here.” Her husband, Michiel Huisman, the actor and musician who moved here with Ms. Elders in 2009 to shoot the HBO series “Treme” (he’s currently on the series “Nashville”), agreed. “The sign on a shop says that they’ll open at 10? You’re there at noon and it’s not open,” he said. We were sitting outside at Sylvain, a restaurant in the French Quarter that Mr. Huisman said “takes Southern cuisine and pushes it a bit more modern.” With its elegant but rustic décor, cocktails featuring noirish names (Blood in the Gulfstream, Dead Man’s Wallet), and inventive food, Sylvain wouldn’t be out of place in Brooklyn — but Ms. Elders said spots like this are still the exception. “So many of the cool places here are really rundown,” she said. “And not because a stylist designed them that way.”

Just started watching the new season of Dallas. So far after only five minutes in they have done two very big things right. One, they showed John Ross's bulge in some tight undies. Two, they have cast photos in the opening credits. For me that was what was missing from the first two seasons. Now it's Dallas!
I want to love it here. But somehow...it depresses me. The neighborhoods are huge and meandering...nothing is close by. It's foggy all the time. I feel like a woman in menopause -- it's hot one moment, freezing the next. Crazy people are everywhere. Downtown is barren and depressing. The outlying areas are brown, barren, and lonesome, sort of like the Wild West. I miss the East Coast. :(
My friend is a minor character actor on TV and commercials, and before every major awards show (Golden Globes, Grammys, etc), he gets invited to these "gifting suites," where vendors pay some company to set up a table in a hotel ballroom, give away their wares to celebrity types in exchange for a photograph of that celebrity holding the product or promoting it on camera. Talk about a freak show, folks!! We both knew what we were getting into, so we went for the fun of it with the understanding that afterwards, we would split the swag and have a laugh over a couple of cocktails. He brought me as his guest. We were assigned a pretty young girl holding a bag, whose sole job was to lug all the swag as we got it. She also held a piece of paper with his name and his credits listed on it. As we walked into the ballroom, a woman breathlessly announced each "celebrity" - "Ladies and Gentlemen! Please welcome the star of "Clarissa Explains it All to you! WHO DOESN'T LOVE THAT SHOW? OH MY GOD!!!" and on and on. The room was packed. We went to each table. I lingered in the background because it's all about the celebrity and not the guest. Which was fine with me because these "gifts" were tragic! Stuff like awful jewelry, Japanese chocolate-covered dried fruit, gourmet popcorn, and literally eight different e-cigarette companies. He did get a nice travel bag and some skin care products, but otherwise…ugh. As for celebrities: Chaka Khan was kind of ahead of us the whole time (she looked great, by the way). The "other" Vanessa Williams, lots of ex-child stars (Adam Wylie? and his boyfriend), the little long-haired girl currently on "The Walking Dead." AND…Sam Page (who is as dreamy in person as in real life). We got to the end of the tables, back at the entrance, and who should be wheeled in at that very moment? MICKEY ROONEY. He looked amazing! So spry and with it! 93 years old. For once, the woman's enthusiasm in announcing him matched the calibre of celebrity. And who should walk in right behind him? GG from "Shahs of Sunset" which brought the whole affair back to the level it belonged. We walked out past the boxes of pizza from the joint across the street, went and had a great lunch and cocktails, split up the stuff (anybody need an e-cig?), and had a few good laughs. And that was my trip to the pre-Oscar "Gifting Suite!"
Do you think it is possible to actually win an argument with her in real life and not in reel life. I don't think it would be possible

It's actually funnier than Jimmy Fallon's show but that's not saying much. Seff was just a complete dear in headhights during the monolog. It had no flow at all. He was just rapid firing jokes right after another with a complete flat intonation. It was not conversational at all. Maybe he can do it this way when reading the news but not with a monolog. Hopefully he can get better. His vin diagrams were funny though.
Some thing looks off about her face in these close ups. She still looks beautiful, though.

Fifteen years ago, Cate Blanchett was robbed of a Best Actress Oscar for [italic]Elizabeth[/italic]. It's not the first time Academy voters have made a mistake like that and it won't be the last. This year (or rather last year, 2013), Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine was good and Blanchett was very good in it. It wasn't earth shattering but it was certainly enough for a Best Actress nomination. It looked as if Cate Blanchett would win this time but Sandra Bullock was pulling a lot of votes, Dame Judi is greatly respected (and 80 years old) so she was gaining ground and everyone felt sorry for perennial loser Amy Adams, she was getting votes as well (Meryl was never a contender). What actually pushed Blanchett over the finish line was the backlash against Mia Farrow, furious woman scorned for 20 years and counting. Cate (and by extension Woody) won, while Mia and her vicious PR campaign failed. Karma in action.

I submit for your consideration KARE-11, the NBC affiliate in Minneapolis. First, weekend anchorman Blake McCoy:
What's it like, especially for a gay guy? I'm tempted to move there because of the (apparently) extremely affordable cost of living. I'm impressed by the quality of homes you can purchase there for the price, and I know the property taxes are quite reasonable too. I've only really driven through there a few times, but it always looked quite clean and nice from what I could tell. And before you call me a loser or flyover or whatever, I'm disabled & on a small fixed income...that's why I will not and cannot live in a big, vibrant city. Thanks!
A New Jersey teenager claiming that her mother and father tossed her out of their home and cut her off financially is suing them for immediate support, current private-school fees and future college tuition. The parents, meanwhile, say that daughter Rachel Canning, 18, moved out voluntarily after refusing to abide by their rules. “We love our child and miss her. This is terrible. It’s killing me and my wife,” Rachel's father, Sean Canning, a town administrator and retired police officer, tells the Daily Record. “We have a child we want home. We’re not Draconian and now we’re getting hauled into court. She’s demanding that we pay her bills but she doesn’t want to live at home, and she’s saying, ‘I don’t want to live under your rules.’” The rules, he notes, include reconsidering her relationship with a boyfriend who may be a bad influence, being respectful, and abiding by her curfew. He and his wife, Elizabeth, who live in suburban Lincoln Park, about 25 miles outside of New York City, have kept their daughter’s car because they paid for it, says Canning, and he admits that they did stop paying Rachel's tuition at the private Morris Catholic High School. A hearing is scheduled to take place on Tuesday in the Morris County Superior Court.

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.

Seth MacFarlane donates Carl Sagan's papers to Library of Congress By Patrick Kevin Day June 28, 2012, 1:25 p.m. Seth MacFarlane's film directing debut, "Ted," opens on Friday, and while the creator of "Family Guy," "The Cleveland Show" and "American Dad" certainly has his hands full doing the normal film promotional duties, he's managed to make headlines of a different sort with an act that's pretty surprising if you only know him from "Family Guy" and filthy teddy bear movies: He's donated the papers of famed scientist and astronomer Carl Sagan to the Library of Congress. The library announced the donation of Sagan's papers on Wednesday and the creation of the Seth MacFarlane Collection of the Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan Archive. The archive consists of 800 boxes of material gathered from throughout Sagan's life, including book drafts, correspondence with other scientists, idea files and even his birth announcement, grade school report cards and various photographs, audio recordings and videocasettes. Though MacFarlane's current filmography doesn't quite reflect his longstanding love and admiration for Sagan's work, that will change soon as he has embarked on a 13-episode followup to Sagan's classic 1980 TV series, "Cosmos: A Personal Journey." The new series, set to air on Fox and the National Geographic Channel in 2014, is titled "Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey" and is being executive produced by MacFarlane and Sagan's widow, Druyan, a veteran documentarian. The new series will be presented by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Though MacFarlane was never in actual possession of the Sagan papers, he provided the funds that allowed them to be archived and assimilated into the Library of Congress. In a statement, MacFarlane said, "The work of Carl Sagan has been a profound influence in my life, and the life of every individual who recognizes the importance of humanity's ongoing commitment to the exploration of our universe .... The continuance of our journey outward into space should always occupy some part of our collective attention, regardless of whatever Snooki did last week."

Robert Pattison has recently claimed he''s allergic to vagina, but can anyone remember back in 2005/2006 when this hot stud (JARED LETO) said he was "as Gay as a Goose"?? \ I''m surprised no one picked up on that and everyone on DL still thinks he''s straight?? Are we blind or what?

They have no connection with Kenneth Anger, who was apparently so angry with Darwin Porter and the other guy who wrote them he put a curse on them.\ \ I''ve heard the gossip is unreliable, but the gossip is unreliable in the original Kenneth Anger books too--the first book spread the rumors since disproved that Clara Bow slept with the USC Thundering Herd in one night and that Rudolph Valentino slept with Ramon Novarro, and the second book had the picture of some silent porn actress in a clinch with another woman and misidentified her as Joan Crawford.

The green beans were those limp olive green things right out of the can. The graxies were from a mix.

The Rancid Honeytrap is taking Glenn on with a vengeance and Glenn is having any of it. I love this blogger, who is as he says: "Bilious, herbivorous, queer small a anarchist." [quote]Note how childish, dumb and technically inept it is. Also how homophobic. Then wonder what kind of person attracts fans such as these and even, on occasion, incites them. This incident is no anomaly. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and this nicely encapsulates what The Friends of Glenn Greenwald have been saying to me for six months now. It rarely gets better. [quote]As anyone who has ever been insufficiently deferential to Glenn Greenwald in public knows, the alleged civil libertarian/savior of journalism cultivates and periodically incites a pack of internet brownshirts who enforce discipline on his behalf. Most of the commentary on this has come from Greenwald’s right, because until recently that’s where most of his acrimony was directed. But as his status increases and his affiliations change, the rare lefties calling him to account are getting a taste of this as well. Recently British independent journalist Jonathan Cook capitulated completely on some very tepid criticism he had offered only days before, after a swarming by Glenn’s fans and a self-serving lecture by Greenwald himself. [quote]I have become something of an expert on Greenwald’s frothy minions since he first sicced them on me six months ago via this fallacious rant on my blog, in which he deliberately mischaracterized practically every point I had made and obliquely suggested that I kill myself. Since writing the post that sent Greenwald into a tizzy, I have been the target of routine trolling on Twitter, usually in the form of extremely childish verbal abuse, but also in the form of lengthy, angry interrogations, akin to visits from Jehovah’s Witnesses vexed by my stubborn unwillingness to see the light. The research wing trawls through old tweets and blog posts looking for things that can be damningly quoted out of context. I am the subject of six Twitter ‘parody’ accounts, at least one of which simply mixes real tweets with fake for the sole purpose of mischaracterizing me. Glenn himself even cracks wise with this Tarzie parody — which of course endorses its smeary intent — though since vomiting on my blog six months ago, he never replies to me directly.
Are Friends of Glenn [greenwald] making homophobic attacks on his rivals?

New poll numbers show big differences in the oft-maligned millennial generation. The wide-ranging study conducted by Pew shows millenials, or those falling into the 18 to 33 age group, differ from previous generations — like Generation X and the baby boomers — in everything from politics to views on marriage. In a write-up accompanying the study, Pew notes, "They are relatively unattached to organized politics and religion, linked by social media, burdened by debt, distrustful of people, in no rush to marry— and optimistic about the future." Specifically, the research found as many as 50 percent of millennials describe themselves as political independents. Though they also tended to lean left, supporting President Barack Obama and embracing liberal policies more than older generations. (Via KTTV, KARE) According to a writer for The Wire, that could mean bad news for Republicans. "For the Republican Party, it's hard to see Pew's new survey of American millennials as very good news. … Pew walks through a number of social issues, finding younger people more likely to support same-sex marriage, legal marijuana and immigration reform." The study also found millennials tend to differ from previous generations on traditional American institutions like religion and marriage as well.

On September 16, 2011, early in my sophomore year at Notre Dame, I attempted to take my own life. That day I wanted nothing more than to escape the anguish of coming out to my family, my friends, and, in a way, myself. Death was better than accepting - or revealing - that I was gay. Awakening in my hospital bed to the aftermath, my very first thoughts were of my family - I didn't want them to know I was gay or that I tried to kill myself. Fr. Dan Nolan assured me that they didn't know, and that the events of the previous night would remain confidential should I so wish. Even he was oblivious to my sexual orientation - that secret remained buried. When I was led out of the hospital to the designated psychiatric ward, I was in handcuffs like a criminal. I felt the part. For the next 36 hours I shared a room with a schizophrenic. I was 19 years old, more lost than I'd ever been, and I was scared. I remember thinking: There is no way back from this.... (more at link)

Call him a c*** show host ... TMZ has learned, Johnny Carson recorded a sex tape with his wife back in the 1970s -- and not only has the tape just hit the market ... very solid sources tell TMZ, Johnny's johnny is ENORMOUS. Multiple sources tell us, the tape owner approached the Carson estate in September to make a deal for the footage -- the estate said take a hike, and threatened to sue the owner if he ever sold it. But the owner's apparently gone rogue -- we're told he's now shopping it to private collectors ... and it is legendary. According to sources who've seen it, the tape was shot right after he married wife #3 Joanna Holland. It opens with a naked dark-haired Carson masturbating by a pool -- then shows Joanna (with a bouffant hairdo) going all Linda Lovelace. It goes on for about 5 minutes -- then we're told it cuts to a 20-minute sex scene in Johnny's bedroom ... and Johnny does NOT hold back. Oh yeah, we're also told he's hung like a horse -- seriously, porn star status. One source said it was at least 10 inches. But for legal reasons it can't go to a porn company, so the only way to unload it is with a private collector. Move over Michael Fassbender.

TACOMA — Immigrant-rights activists rallied outside the Northwest Detention Center on Saturday, while at least 750 detainees protested their treatment and called for an end to deportations with a hunger strike. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department said Saturday morning that 750 detainees had refused to eat and said they were on a hunger strike. The center currently houses nearly 1,300 people being investigated for possible deportation. Activist Maru Mora Villalpando said the hunger strike started Friday as a protest of deportations and center conditions. She said the hunger strikers, which she thinks number more than 1,000, are seeking better food and treatment as well as better pay for center jobs. “We are concerned for their welfare, and we support their brave stand against inhumane treatment. We are gravely concerned about retaliation, particularly against the hunger-strike leaders,” Villalpando said. ICE spokesman Andrew Munoz said the agency respects the right of detainees. “ICE fully respects the rights of all people to express their opinion without interference,” Munoz said. “While we continue to work with Congress to enact common-sense immigration reform, ICE remains committed to sensible, effective immigration enforcement.” The detainees are under continuous observation by center staff and medical personnel. ICE detention standards state that a detainee who has not eaten for 72 hours is considered to be on a hunger strike.

Now that he's going to do a television, it seems to me impossible that even he could ever say to himself that coming out would damage his career. There are plenty of out younger men on TV whose careers have not suffered (Sean Hayes, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, NPH, Matt Bomer). And he's going to be 53 in just a few weeks. Surely he cannot be so deluded as to think that at this age his coming out would cut him out of young heterosexual heartthrob roles.
The hunt is exhausting. The encounter is fleeting. The loneliness seeps in. And then it begins anew. The cycle continues. Like all addictions, there's a cycle.

This might be the coolest family connection ever -- Brad Pitt and Spike Lee ARE COUSINS ... 12th cousins sure ... BUT STILL!!! The people over at Geni.com (a genealogy website) just made the bizarre connection -- you can see in the diagram how Brad and Spike are connected 12 generations ago. Basically, Brad's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was the brother of Spike's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother. Simple. Funny, the above photo of Brad and Spike was taken at the Governors Ball in L.A. earlier this week -- and they had no idea they're family.

It's disgusting. I was over at his apartment today, and I was going to make me a bologna and mayonnaise sandwich for lunch, and I was looking all through his pantry for the mayonnaise and finally discovered it in the refrigerator! Who wants something wet and cold on their sandwich? Gross. I actually asked him about it and he was indifferent. I pointed out that if mayonnaise was supposed to be refrigerated, it would be in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, but logic didn't matter to him. I guess it's not a big deal, but am I a terrible person that I now think lees of him?
So last week I went to the dermatologist for my annual mole check and to ask about treatment for male pattern baldness. During the check in process with the nurse, I added that my former doctor had prescribed Retin A for me and I was hoping the new doc could renew it. She said "I don't know if we'll have time for that at this appointment." First of all, I'm a little miffed that I'll have to make another appointment to do this. That said, I really only want Retin A for its anti-wrinkle properties. I don't have acne or anything anymore. How would you phrase this request? Can I just say "I want to look young and fresh"?

Why do women get upset when men don't do this? Is it because they don't think they should have to touch the seat? I've heard some say it's because they fall in. I don't get it. They can't look?

I came to work this morning and found a piece of paper upside down on my office chair: YOU NEED TO TREAT ALL YOUR STAFF FAIRLY NOT JUST YOUR FAVORITES Hmmm. I run a department of 10 people, all of whom are overworked (as am I). The work is evenly distributed. I don't socialize with any of them either within or outside the office except for company occasions. And I don't feel like I play favorites; they're all decent employees, but clearly someone thinks differently. I'm at a loss. What would you do, tasteful friends? Ignore it? Have a meeting to see if anyone wants to bring up grievances (I'm open to that). Send a general email saying it's been a tough two months and if anyone wants to talk, let's have coffee? Anonymous note...Right now I feel like someone in "The Long Secret."

Not even a 5-year-old boy with cancer could persuade egotistical actor Andrew Garfield to be a presenter at the Academy Awards. The “Spider-Man” star was supposed to take the stage Sunday with Miles Scott, who has come to be known as “Batkid” after the city of San Francisco let him play superhero there. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences had arranged with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to further make Miles’ dreams come true. “The academy was going to make him an official superhero during the Oscar ceremony. Andrew Garfield was going to appoint him ‘Batkid.’ But, in the middle of the dress rehearsal, Garfield decided he didn’t like his lines,” said a well-placed source. “Garfield refused to go by the script. He came up with his own lines. The producers felt that Garfield’s [rewrites] were not appropriate. Garfield had a tantrum. He stormed off. Miles and his family, who were at the rehearsal, were devastated.” The producers decided to cut the superhero initiation, but they paid for Miles to go to Disneyland. “Garfield was such a spoiled brat that he didn’t even want to be a presenter,” said my source. The academy had to call “Captain America” star Chris Evans to sub at the last minute. Garfield’s agent at CAA didn’t get back to me.
"Of All The Gin Joints in All The World..." At the height of World War II, Norwegian film star/Resistance fighter Ilsa Lund (Jennifer Aniston) finds herself stranded in Vichy-controlled Morocco, where the only path to freedom are papers of transit held by none other than her ex-boyfriend, alcoholic bar-owner Rick (Gerard Butler). With the help of her Czech makeup artist Viktor (Zachary Quinto), Ilsa concocts a plan to seduce Rick and steal the letters of transit - but her plans are turned upside down when she realizes she still loves him! To make matters worse, rival German film star and Nazi sympathizer Margarethe Strassler (Courtney Cox) is also in Casablanca on a mission to stop Ilsa and maybe steal Rick for herself! Can Ilsa successfully elude the Gestapo, make the world safe for democracy and fly into the sunset with Rick, all while rocking the shit out of khaki blazer? Directed by Penny Marshall.
This Golden-era French actor hasn't been discussed much here on DL. He's one of the last surviving big stars of the 1940's and in his heyday he was one sexy motherfucker. I think he was a pretty good and very charismatic actor but unfortunately he got typecast as a boring romantic lead and as a villain as he got older. The best movie he made was probably Letter From An Unknown Woman with Joan Fontaine, but he also starred in some entertaining campy flicks like Julie with Doris Day (this one's a hoot) and The Best of Everything with Joan Crawford.

I personally think so. It's a shame that Bundy was straight. I think their personalities are well-suited to each other. In an alternate universe, Bundy would have been gay and not psychopathic, he would have been a successful lawyer and he would have fallen madly in love with Dahmer. Dahmer would have reciprocated his feelings and would not have killed him and ate him. And they would have been a cute couple, always together until death did them apart. Ya, I know. Cute fanatasy.

For women! Stifle your laughter, people. Legendary wrestler Buff Bagwell is still trading on his lady's man image ... now, as a gigolo. Bagwell -- who was a force in World Championship Wrestling between 1991 and 2001 -- has joined Cowboys4Angels ... a premium gigolo service targeting lonely and very possibly horny women. Bagwell has appeared on the Showtime hit, "Gigolos," but he's not just doing it for the camera. As for Cowboys4Angels ... it provides "escorts" who offer companionship -- reading between the lines is highly permissible. The company charges a pretty penny for Bagwell's services -- $800 for 2 hours, $1550 for 4 hours and $3000 for an overnight "visit." Weekends are steep -- $8K. And a full week with Bagwell -- $25K. The owner of the service -- Garren James -- tells TMZ, Bagwell is already the second most popular escort on the website ... behind Nick Hawk. Bagwell is married, but apparently unlike Robin Thicke, it's a true open relationship.
Lange gives a surprised laugh to hear that show runner Ryan Murphy has spilled that she'll be back for a fourth season, sporting a German accent.

And this is really in theory; I don't think there's been one word written yet. But yes, of German descent ... a chanteuse, so I get to sing, which will be a lot of fun," she says, laughing at the notion of channeling her inner Marlene Dietrich.
I'm befuddled. I just finished watching Blue Jasmine and maybe I'm just not "getting it" as to why such a fuss was made about it....I didn't think Cate's acting was very good, actually she over-acted throughout most of it. Or maybe the character was just too "simple" for her, that would be Woody's fault. I thought the movie was weak, and the corny music throughout just destroyed any of the relatively good scenes.

Puerto Rican GOP territorial Sen. Roberto Arango has resigned after he was discovered showing his anus on the gay hook-up site, Grindr. Arango initially dismissed the revelation, saying that he was only uploading photos to show off his recent weight loss. IN HIS ANUS. Three years ago: A Puerto Rico lawmaker has resigned following reports that explicit photos of him surfaced on an iPhone application for gays and bisexuals, the head of the U.S. territory's Senate announced Sunday. Sen. Roberto Arango, a Republican who represents the capital of San Juan, presented his letter of resignation after a weekend meeting, Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz said. Schatz did not release the lawmaker's letter, but said the circumstances that led to the resignation "are very lamentable." Local news media published photos from the application showing a man's nude upper body with a cellphone obscuring his face. Another photo showed a rear view of a nude man on his hands and knees. Another showed a fuzzy image of a face that seemed to match Arango's. According to a JMG source, Arango not only voted for a failed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, he once mocked another legislator by squeezing a rubber duck at him on the Senate floor. In Puerto Rico, the Spanish word for duck means "queer" or "faggot." video at link
PUERTO RICO: Anti-Gay GOP Pol Comes Out Three Years After Grindr Scandal
(CNN) -- Ballistic tests show bullets that killed a suburban Washington woman last month are similar to those in two other unsolved killings, police in Virginia said Thursday. "We are looking at these as if they are linked, but until we have evidence that points to only one suspect, we investigate all possibilities," Alexandria Police Chief Earl Cook said at a news conference. The slayings have alarmed the community located across the Potomac River from the nation's capital, raising concerns a serial killer may be responsible. Authorities Thursday renewed their warnings to residents to be "on guard," after announcing their findings from the forensic examinations. The new evidence shows bullets recovered in the killing of music teacher Ruthanne Lodato on February 6 have "the same general rifling class and characteristics and are similar in design to bullets submitted in two other homicides in the city,'' Cook said. Police have said a gunman knocked on Lodato's door late that morning and began shooting. The 59-year-old woman died, and her mother's caretaker was seriously wounded. The survivor helped provide a sketch of the suspect. The previous victims were also prominent in the area. Nancy Dunning, once married to Alexandria's sheriff, was killed in December 2003; and Ron Kirby, director of transportation planning at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, was gunned down last November. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI are assisting local police in the investigation, including sending a profiler. Investigators are also reviewing shootings across the nation for any similarities.

Pornography is struggling in California. Since the passage of Measure B in 2012, which strictly imposes the use of condoms on all porn sets in Los Angeles, triple-x movie production has largely begun to move out of the San Fernando Valley. However, gay porn company Falcon Studios is now attempting to hearken back to the days before the measure was passed. In their latest release California Dreamin' 1, the studio filmed all its scenes with condoms but managed to digitally remove the prophylactics in post-production. Director Tony DiMarco stated on the Falcon Studio blog (which has some graphic content) that the film is meant to tap into fantasies of bareback sex in the 1970s and 80s, while also aligning with the safe sex ethos that is currently being enforced in LA. "With this movie I really wanted to capture the essence of that time, when life seemed more carefree and spontaneous," said Dimarco. "In keeping with this concept, I felt that condoms need to be addressed." The decision to go with this technique appears to strike a middle ground between Measure B and the porn industry's belief that scenes without condoms are a better sell with consumers. Nevertheless, while Falcon Studios seems committed to their new style of filming, it's unclear if it will catch on. The company doesn't make clear how expensive it is to painstakingly remove condoms during sex scenes — a luxury that the porn industry, already culturally disinclined to use condoms in lieu of other modes of safe sex, may not be able to afford. Indeed, in the midst of rampant piracy on top of Measure B, many studios have relocated to Las Vegas, where filmmaking is cheaper and regulations are more lax.

Oscar Winner Jennifer Lawrence Smokes Weed, Hugs Female Friend
I keep seeing articles about how proud AJ is that Shiloh wants to be a boy, how often this kid is photographed and the fights AJ is having with Brad's mother about her androgyny. It's like she is trumpeting how liberal (and between the lines gay-friendly) she is. Isn't it terribly unseemly for her to pushing a sexual identity onto a child for publicity? Along the same lines, there are a lot of stories about this woman having sexual relationships as a young teen under her mother's roof, fucking her mom's lover, etc. Apologies if this has been discussed. I don't read these sites often.
Just read this article. I'll copy it in my next post if you would like.

Amnesty International estimates Native women are five to seven times more likely than other women to die of violence in Canada. James Anaya, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous people, who visited Canada last October, called on the federal government to launch a "comprehensive and nationwide" inquiry into the case of missing and murdered aboriginal women The government response is that ALL women need to be protected from violence, not just Native women. And that the laws on the books are enough protection. Yet if over 800 white women were found murdered or missing, would they say the same thing? Or would they act immediately to find out why there is such a high number?

A Portland, Oregon, cabdriver faces civil rights charges after he ejected a lesbian couple from his cab and leaving them on the side of a highway, according to WPRO630. According to the an investigation by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, there is “substantial evidence” that cab driver Ahmed Egal refused to continue service to Kate Neal and Shenako Devoll, a lesbian couple, due to their sexual orientation. The incident occurred last July when the couple, along with a male friend took a cab home after a night out in Portland. In their complaint the women state that Egal made “aggressive homophobic comments” after they held hands and kissed. He then pulled over on I-84 and demanded the group exit the cab. After pulling over Egal called 911 and told the dispatcher that the women were refusing to pay their fare, according to the complaint. Stranded on the side of the highway, the couple and their friend had to climb over the highway wall, through the bushes, and over a fence before they found an officer to take them home. According to investigators, Egal acted alone when he stopped service to his passengers, meaning that his former employer, Broadway Cab, will not be held liable for his actions The complaint has been filed under the 2007 Oregon Equality Act, prohibiting public accommodations, including businesses, from discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Egal said he would fight the charges. “I love this city. I think it was the best,” he told ABC News’ Portland affiliate, KATU. “Portland is real different. I regret that the city that I loved became this way.”

So I went to the store to buy some more cartridges for my Gilette Mach 3. $15 for a pack of 4!!! That's outrageous. I looked at the disposable Mach 3s but they were also expensive. $10 for a pack of 3. This is bullshit, I told myself. So I went to the dollar store and picked up a 9-pack of generic 3-blade disposables for $3. How bad could they be? I used one this morning to shave and it was fine. Not as smooth as the Mach 3, but it did the job fairly well and my face is still intact. I think I'm going to use these from now on. I'll use on per week, throw it out and then use a new one. Shaving shouldn't be so fucking expensive.

You'd get it all with her.)

Network run by top conservative news website is designed to rival Fox News The founder of leading conservative news website Newsmax is planning to launch a new 24-hour cable news network in June, designed to rival Fox News Channel. Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said in a Bloomberg Businessweek profile that plans are in place to launch NewsmaxTV — which Ruddy describes as a “kindler, gentler Fox” — in more than 50 million homes by June via satellite and cable providers. Also read: Donald Trump Pulls Out of NewsMax Debate “Our goal is to be a little more boomer-oriented, more information-based rather than being vituperative and polarizing,” Ruddy told Bloomberg, saying that many viewers feel Fox has become too right-wing. Ruddy — who is not a Republican — said his plans to launch the network are based on a glaring business opportunity within the cable news landscape. Fox News chairman Roger Ailes launched the network 18 years ago, recognizing there was a lack of conservative voices in news media, and since then, Fox has had a complete monopoly on that audience. In fact, the network has been the No. 1 cable news channel by a wide margin for 12 consecutive years. Also read: Fox News’ Roger Ailes Biographer Gabriel Sherman Rebuts Criticism of Sourcing, Defends Reporting “How do you have something so successful in cable that nobody else wants to imitate or cut into their market share?” Ruddy said. “It defies reason. “If we take 10 to 15 percent of the Fox audience, and they are making $1 billion a year, then we are going to be hugely profitable,” he added. The cable network will be an expansion of Newsmax's online broadcast, which is currently available for three live hours per day. NewsmaxTV will start with nine live hours and be available on Dish Network, DirecTV, and cable companies — but Ruddy said the company will not charge providers to carry its programming, at least at the outset. UPDATE 3/7/14: A spokesperson with DirecTV told TheWrap that, while some talks have happened, there is no deal in place to carry NewsmaxTV. ”The statements Newsmax have made in the media are quite perplexing as we do not have a distribution deal in place,” the spokesperson said. “They don't want to pay new networks,” Ruddy said. “[T]hey are actually trying to get rid of the networks they have. So what we are going to do is say, ‘We are going to give you the service free or we will pay you to take us.'” Also read: CNN's Brian Stelter Tops Fox News’ Howard Kurtz in the Demo for First Time Ruddy can afford to make that offer because Newsmax has been very profitable since its inception in 1998. The company saw $103 million in revenue in 2013, up from $85 million the prior year, according to Bloomberg. Half of that revenue comes from newsletter subscriptions and vitamin supplements — which the company has been selling to its 55-year-old average aged audience for years.
