I just came back from my first trip to the South -- Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. What a repellent part of the country -- bigoted, uneducated, shallow. What made this part of the country so terrible? I remember in high school my 12th grade history teacher said that the South has never gotten over the fact that it launched an outrageous war on the North, and it lost, badly. The entire region has an inferiority complex that translates into an unwillingness to grow, to change, to evolve. Any thoughts? Anyone here actually willing to defend the South?

1. I'm "big-boned". 2. I have a slow metabolism. (This claim has been tested time and again and there's no such thing as a slow metabolism. When obese patients are monitored and compared with skinny people their metabolism are burning calories exactly the same. The difference is that the morbidly obese individual consumes drastically more calories than a skinny person.) 3. I have an (unspecified) medical condition (very few medical conditions cause one to be fat. There are diseases that can cause fluid retention and such, but few cause one to get fat.) 4. I was molested. 5. It's genetics. 6. I don't make enough money to eat healthy. 7. My medication makes me fat. (There are some medication that can cause weight gain. However, doctors are quick to switch patients to other drugs if they notice this problem developing.) 8. I had an injury which limits my activity. 9. I'm diabetic. (Yes, certain people would have us believe that it was their diabetes that caused them to become morbidly obese and not the other way around.) 10. I have a thyroid condition. (Very rare. The majority of thyroid conditions cause a hyperactive metabolism, keeping someone super skinny. However, even if a person does have a genuine thyroid issue, treatment is effective which will end weight gain.) 11. Fatorexia, the tendency for fat people to perceive themselves as not being fat. Women who believe they are merely "curvy" or "big and beautiful" fall into this category as well. The fatty from "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" falls into this category as well as number 3 as she blames her weight gain on a medical condition and not the fact that she likely consumes 10,000 calories or more a day. 12. I was teased or bullied as a kid. 13. It's society's fault or society should accept me for how I am. 14. I had a kid, or multiple kids. (As if this is a free pass to be a blob for the rest of your life.)
She was a great British actress. I loved her in Mapp & Lucia on TV and actually prefereed her performance in Lettice & Lovage over Maggie Smith's in London. She also played the title role in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie on TV and found her to be just as good as Smith. Au reservoir, Geraldine.

An American university has apologised for targeting advertising for a health and fitness programme at overweight students. Bryn Mawr college, near the city of Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania, sent students with an “elevated” body mass indexes an email suggesting they enrol in the health programme. The scheme had been offered previously at the £29,500-a-year college twice without any complaints, US broadcaster NBC News reports. "On behalf of everyone involved with this programme, I sincerely apologize to anyone who has been upset or offended by our communications, and I want to reassure the community that we will rethink our approaches and our assumptions moving forward," Kay Keer, the college’s health centre director said. “While this programme has been offered successfully in the past, this semester several students have taken issue with some of the communications that were used to invite students to take advantage of this opportunity.” It is believed students' BMI was obtained from measurements taken at the health centre. The institution came under pressure after an outcry on social media. The college is women-only and has a student population of about 2,000. It is privately run and was founded by Quakers in 1885.

She was on the Home and Life show today on the Hallmark Channel and in Los Angeles this weekend reuniting with some of her Dynasty co-stars. It seems like she couldn't distance herself enough from the show when she left in 1984 but now shows up at EVERYTHING Dynasty related from TV reunions to autograph signings. I always loved her though. Some actors and actresses have this aura and she is one of them. From The Poseidon Adventure to Nancy Drew to the first and best Fallon (Emma Samms let's face it sucked). Any other fans?
I was flipping channels yesterday and caught the beginning of one episode. I could not believe how dated it was even if set in the 40's and the bad acting of the kids. They were nothing in the looks department either. I cannot believe my family used to watch this religiously.

They always shoot in these massive houses, uh, mansions. Are these their homes? Are these porn directors rich? I mean, can they be making THAT much money from a shitty porn site? Also, if it is their house, do they have special bedrooms for the fuck scenes? I mean, do they actually let the guys fuck on their living room sofa?

Today is my birthday. Thank you to all those that offer felicitations. But honestly, I was VERY bothered this morning! When I went to Google's home page this morning I saw the linked image. My first thought was; "Oh! Who is famous that shares the same birthday as me?" As my cursor was placed over the image it said; "Happy Birthday". This REALLY bothered me and made me think about my privacy. There's no question that while I have used my computer over the years that I have filled out some "something" which I gave my birth date. I would say FaceBook, or BigMuscle would be examples. But, I'm not on Google plus or any other type of website of such. I try to be quite conscious of what I put up on the internet. I'm not being overly dramatic but I feel as if I have been violated. Somethings nor right that the internet should be so intrusive into one's life. Is there anyone else who feels like, or would feel like this? How do you get this type of tracking stuff to stop? All suggestions are welcomed!

Koch brothers set $889m budget for 2016 presidential election Only some of the money, the amount of which is nearly double what the Kochs spent on 2012 elections, would come from the brothers themselves Amanda Holpuch in Washington, Monday 26 January 2015 17.22 EST The Koch Brothers’ political network plans to spend nearly $900m on the 2016 presidential election. Freedom Partners, a group that serves a central role in the political activities of the brothers Charles and David Koch, unveiled its plan to spend $889m in the upcoming election to donors at an annual meeting in California on Monday. That amount is nearly double what the Kochs’ network spent in the 2012 presidential election. Only some of the money would come from the Kochs themselves; the rest of the funding to be spent by the coalition that the brothers have helped to build and fund would be contributed by other donors. The funding goal toes the $1bn that the campaigns of the major party presidential nominees are each expected to spend during the campaign. The money will be used for field operations, policy work and other campaign projects. Republican politicians including Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina made appearances at the three-day summit, according to the Washington Post. Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, a 2016 contender, flew to the convention from Iowa, where he spoke at a different conservative gathering over the weekend. A Sunday night panel with other potential candidates – Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas – was broadcast online as part of the summit’s attempt at transparency. The 2016 presidential election is on 8 November, 2016 – 651 days from Monday.

Val Kilmer Hospitalized For Throat Tumor 1/30/2015 1:50 PM PST BY TMZ STAFF Val Kilmer was rushed to a hospital this week after he began bleeding from the throat ... and we're told it's a throat tumor. Law enforcement sources tell us paramedics rushed to his Malibu home Monday night after someone called 911 and reported the bleeding. The "Top Gun" star was taken to UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica. Doctors performed surgery and he's currently recovering. We're told family members have been upset because they feel Val has ignored the problem and allowed it to get worse. In October Val was in small claims court over a dispute with his former landlord and he told the judge he was unable to speak because his tongue was swollen. Kilmer was last seen in public at a Clippers game with his son Jack. Val had his neck covered during the game.

When did it all go bad? I remember the first season was well written, dark, funny and endearing. Season 2 started strong but the show started to believe its own hype and I checked out after that. Did it ever rebound?
I''ve met quite a few, and of course most are just like regular folks in person, but Dick Van Dyke stood out as particularly polite and fun to talk with.%0D\ %0D\ Mario Lopez was extremely polite and friendly, too. You can tell he comes from a very warm family. And Cheyenne Jackson, too. Plus Cheyenne has a fantastic natural sense of humor.%0D\ %0D\ Who was nice to you?
Season three. Who's the hottest nerd? I say Jonathan.
Very hot actor who just played a gay role onstage in LA.\ \ Is he also gay in reality? Any stories?
Starting from season one, and God, it is bloody awful! Big hair, bad acting. Yikes. Don't understand how it managed not to get canceled, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it more when Heather Locklear shows up.
I never understood why One Direction's management never makes Zayn Malik the lead singer. I mean he clearly has the best voice out of the group, he's a little skinny but still attractive. And he's the only one of the group that can hit those high falsetto note's effortlessly. But in their new video "Steal My Girl" (below) when Zayn's singing part comes on towards the end, they switch camera's to him and Harry Styles when it's clearly Zayn's voice throughout doing that high note NOT Harry. Is it because Zayn is a muslim that 1D's management downplay his role in the group? I'm just curious. What do you think DL?

Not hurricanes or tornadoes, but what's called a gale. Or more than a gale. The wind has been howling for two days here. The sky is clear. There is no precipitation, no humidity, the sun is shining. But it sounds like a hurricane out there and there are no other signs of storm. And it never happens in the summer. We could really use a good 35-50 mph wind during the hottest summer months, but alas, the air is as still as a tomb, unless there is a brief thunderstorm or a tropical storm with rain. The winds start to kick up in late October or early November and continue throughout late autumn, winter and spring.
To this day I love this show. I watched it all the way through to the end. One of my favorite story lines was the Kelly becomes a cokehead one. I also really loved Brandon''s ex who tried to blow up a float. Any other 90210 fans on DL? What are your favorite episodes or characters?

Bruce Jenner is transforming into a woman and is documenting it for a reality show of his own. Well ... that explains a lot. The former Olympic decathlon champ will discuss his ongoing transformation on an upcoming episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," according to Us Weekly. Jenner has been the butt of jokes and the source of rumor and speculation for months, as his appearance has become more feminine. InTouch magazine superimposed Jenner's face onto the body of "Dynasty" actress Stephanie Beacham for the cover of its Jan. 26 issue. "He feels like he doesn't have anything to lose," a source told Us Weekly. Jenner's family has been mostly supportive. His stepdaughter Khloe Kardashian posted a picture with him on Instagram on Jan. 26, captioned "Father/Daughter time." Jenner's other stepdaughter Kim Kardashian earlier this week told Entertainment Tonight, "I think everyone goes through things in life, and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he'll share whenever the time is right. I feel like that's his journey to talk about." She was also quoted recently as saying Jenner was "as happy" as she has ever seen him. Jenner split from wife Kris Jenner in 2013. Since then, he's grown his hair, been seen wearing nail polish, and had surgery to shave his Adam's apple. At the time, he told TMZ "I just never liked my trachea." Well, that's probably true. When questioned about her estranged husband's changing looks, Kris Jenner dismissed the talk as "silly." Us Weekly reported the 65-year-old Jenner -- who was married twice before meeting his latest wife in 1990 and has kids with all three wives -- was already "taking steps to live as a woman" when he met the Kardashian matriarch. A source reportedly said Jenner "had gone to doctors, started plastic surgery, and begun the transition." Kris supposedly talked him out of it, but the issue was reportedly a source of tension throughout their marriage. They filed for divorce last fall. While most of the family is on board with Jenner's transition, Us Weekly quoted sources saying Kris has "refused to accept the truth" and remains in "denial" and "she has made no attempts to understand" what Jenner is going through.

I was watching one of his old movies today. He was so hot when he was young. Is anyone here a fan of his work as an actor or a writer? Did any of you older guys know him? Any stories?
Somebody on Facebook went on a rant about how the media use the word "transition to a woman" regarding the Bruce Jenner situation. Yes, he might emotionally/mentally think of himself as woman, but he still has yet to physically himself/his anatomy into a woman, so doesn't that mean he's in the process of "transitioning"? What the F word should use. I swear, certain members of the trans community are the whiniest "victims" of all time. Can we please drop the T? It's not our fight, it's theirs.

I recently found out that I was selected for a lucrative management position I had applied for several months ago. While I'd be leading a team of several senior analysts and getting a significant pay raise, I've been wondering if this new job is something I truly want. The hiring process was competitive, and the main reason I put my hat in the ring is because several people I considered less qualified were applying as well. Plus, I'm in my early 30's and this new position was part of my 5-Year Plan (and I achieved it in 4!). This was basically all about validation for me, so now the honeymoon is over and I'm left wondering how to keep my head above water. I'll be leading a team in turmoil and expectations will be high. I honestly want to do a good job, but I also realize I'm insecure and prone to periods of deep depression (even though I take an antidepressant.) I live in a hyper-competitive city where you're looked down upon for not wanting to pursue more money, power or respect. When is it okay to look at where you're at, admit you're content, and remain at peace as others surge higher? I'm now ahead of the game, but I don't feel prepared AT ALL.

Two sitcoms about a middle-aged woman who served as a sort of den mother for a quartet of rambunctious boarding school girls debuted in 1979. The Facts of Life starred Charlotte Rae & Dorothy starred Dorothy Loudon as teacher / surrogate mother figure. Both Rae and Dorothy Loudon were Broadway veterans – they knew each other, had vied for some of the same roles. CBS executives saw in Annie and thought she would be PERFECT for a TV sitcom about a den mother. What no one had told CBS was something that the company of Annie had discovered very quickly: that Loudon, in the words of the show’s composer Charles Strouse, “really, genuinely, sincerely, hated children . . . . She was very ill-natured, in that respect.” Loudon would shoo away not only the many little girls in the show’s cast but also the dog, Sandy, whom she also despised. Doubtless she was less than thrilled that, in her bid for more widespread recognition, the baggage of Annie made youngsters an unavoidable part of the package. While Loudon’s pedophobia might have been perfect for the larger-than-life hostility of Miss Hannigan, it couldn’t work for a den-mother sister to Mrs. Garrett. “Dorothy really didn’t like the kids, I don’t think,” director Alan Shayne said. “And although she was at war with the kids, you had to feel that she also loved them. That didn’t really work. Dotty was a tough lady, you know. She had a lot of hostility.” Loudon’s husband, a television arranger and composer named Norman Paris, had died unexpectedly just six weeks after she won the Tony for Annie, upending her personal life just as she reached her professional peak. Kip Gilman also observed Loudon’s discomfort around her young co-stars, and thought that Linda Manz (the "Jo" character in Dorothy) – a casting director’s off-the-streets discovery whose experience up to that point had been limited to Terrence Malick’s highly idiosyncratic style of moviemaking – was especially ill-at-ease with the demands of performing comedic material in front of a live audience. Gilman suggested that, as a consequence of all that, the other three episodes may have been altered to reduce the girls’ roles and build up the screen time of the (still underdeveloped) faculty characters.

Wags and pundits said Michael Keaton had the Oscar in the bag. But Eddie Redmayne pulled off an upset at the SAGs, DEFEATING Keaton. Should come as no surprise if you think about it. Oscar history suggests that this was Eddie Redmayne year all along. Oscar loves to reward actors who play real people. In addition to rewarding actors who play a character with a disability. With this SAG win, Eddie now has the momentum with a clear path to the Oscar stage. While Keaton is playing catch-up. So is it over for Michael Keaton? And his real reward this year is just the nomination and NOT the Oscar?

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

Nazis killed Jews, gays, gypsies, and the disabled in the concentration camps but we only hear about the Jews.

Gwyneth's at it again, this time raving about the benefits of steam-cleaning her vagina. Yes, you read that correctly: in a recent Goop update Gwyneth says her lady parts need a regular "V-Steam". Apparently it works like this: "You sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al. It is an energetic release – not just a steam douche – that balances female hormone levels." Cheryl - what do you think?

The vast wealth of DL knowledge has yielded great advice before and I could really, really use some now if anyone can help. My mom is on Mass Health and has developed a quickly growing pancake-type mass on each side of her lower spine. (She has degenerative disc.) Her insurance has been dragging its feet for months — rescheduling tests and insisting on less expensive preliminaries — while the thing gets bigger. Her GP finally got her to one hospital for an MRI, which was for shit. Specialists saw it and shrugged. Her GP said it was a bad MRI. Now the GP is trying to get her admitted to other hospitals as an emergency admission because the thing is getting bigger so quickly. But he doesn't have hospital privileges. Brigham and Women's just said no. They're trying Mass General now. Im afraid the time it's taking to get her appropriate care could lead to real health consequences, and I don't know what to do, who to ask for help, what cages to rattle, etc. The fact that her GP is trying for emergency admission makes me nervous. Should she just bring herself to an ER and beg to be admitted? I would be so grateful for any advice you guys might have. (Please, someone have advice. Or at least a good resource for help.)

Allison Woolbert (aka Dennis Woolbert) recently resigned as executive director of Transgender Human Rights Institute (THRI) after her 1991 conviction for First Degree Aggravated Sexual Assault. The victim was a 15-year-old relative. Woolbert was sentenced to six years for the aggravated assault for which she served four. Woolbert was 28 at the time of the offence. Freelance journalists Emmagene Cronin and Laurelai Bailey discovered the record while investigating THRI operations. THRI is the sponsor of a Change.Org petition aiming to pass a ban on reparative therapy of trans youth. The petition has over 300,000 signatures supporting what’s currently referred to as “Leelah’s Law.” The effort is named after Leelah Alcorn, a 17-year-old who recently committed suicide after being treated with “reparative therapy,” a therapy that’s been discredited by professional psychiatric, psychological and medical associations. THRI also runs a project called the Trans* Violence Tracking Portal that tracks violence against trans people. Woolbert’s resignation from THRI also ends Woolbert’s affiliation with TVTP.

(If this all he has, his ‘evidence’ seems pretty thin to me, but then again what do I know) • Roger Stone claims Johnson ‘micro-managed’ Kennedy’s Dallas motorcade, demanding it pass through Dealy Plaza on the afternoon he was shot • He also says that Johnson, instructed Richard Nixon to hire Jack Ruby several years before he shot Lee Harvey Oswald • The revelations are made in is his book 'The man who killed Kennedy - the case against LBJ' out later this year A renowned Republican strategist and lobbyist has claimed that former president Lyndon B. Johnson set up John F. Kennedy’s assassination, which occurred on November 22, 1963. Roger Stone, 61, makes the claim in his upcoming book 'The Man who killed Kennedy - the case against LBJ' which is set to be published in October. He also writes that Richard Nixon and Johnson had a documented relationship with Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald’s killer, years before he shot Oswald in the basement of Dallas police headquarters in 1963, reports The Daily Caller. Stone worked for Richard Nixon’s Committee to Re-elect the President in 1972 and later served in the Nixon administration. He claims that Johnson, a congressman at the time, instructed Richard Nixon, also a congressman at the time, to hire Ruby onto the House of Representatives payroll in 1947. Stone claims Johnson ‘micro-managed’ Kennedy’s Dallas motorcade, demanding it pass through Dealy Plaza on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, the infamous day when Oswald shot Kennedy from the overlooking book depository building. ‘Nixon knew Jack Ruby, hired him on House payroll in 1947 at request of … Lyndon Johnson. Newly released documents prove it. In my upcoming book “The Man who killed Kennedy- the case against LBJ” Out Oct 1–order yours today,’ Stone wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday. ‘LBJ and Gov. John Connally micro-managed Dallas JFK’s schedule and demanded the route thru Dealy Plaza where the motorcade came to a full stop and LBJ had JFK killed,’ he added. ‘They had no interest in JFK stops in Austin or Houston!' Stone, now a member of the Libertarian Party, co-wrote his book with Libertarian writer Mike Colapietro. Ruby, whose real name was Jacob Leon Rubenstein, moved from Chicago to Dallas in 1947, the same year Stone alleges that Nixon put him on the House payroll at Johnson’s request. Ruby died of a pulmonary embolism on January 3, 1967, a little more than three years after killing Oswald. Johnson died of a massive heart attack on January 22, 1973. Nixon died of a severe stroke on April 18, 1994

According to various reports, four gay NFL players will soon come out of the closet. But veteran free safety Kerry Rhodes wants to make it clear: he will not be one of them. Pictures of Rhodes surfaced this week on Media Take Out in which the player's arms are around a man in a tank top, but Rhodes tells TMZ the shots are harmless. "Photos have been circulating of my former assistant and I that have caused some rumors regarding my sexuality, and I wanted to address the situation," Rhodes says in a statement. "I am not gay." The free agent adds that the pics were snapped during a "casual" vacation with his "entire business team." Rhodes does say he agrees with Magic Johnson overall, however: he's all for those athletes who actually are homosexual: "I know a lot of people are recently talking about athletes struggling to come out to their fans right now, and I support them, as well as wish those individuals comfort."

Based on Lawrence Wright's controversial book 'Going Clear,' the documentary from Alex Gibney is likely to draw an aggressive response from the notoriously litigious church. HBO long has championed documentary filmmaking. It commissioned the Scientology project nearly two years ago, right after the book's January 2013 publication, when frequent collaborator Gibney brought it to the network. The film, which is expected to feature new revelations about the controversial religion and its famous followers Tom Cruise and John Travolta, almost certainly will draw an aggressive response from the notoriously litigious church. "We have probably 160 lawyers [looking at the film]," says HBO Documentary Films president Sheila Nevins, who is bracing for protests as well. If the doc is finished in time, it likely will be submitted to the Sundance Film Festival in January.

She rarely gets much attention here on Datalounge, but she was the greatest female star and sex symbol of the Thirties, and her films made huge amounts of money for MGM when the films of Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer (their other two biggest female stars) were not making money. And for much of her career Marilyn Monroe was often called a Harlow imitator, although except for the platinum hair and the curvaceousness the two women had little in common. Harlow was terrific in comedy, particularly in DINNER AT EIGHT and RED DUST, two of her best films. She had tons of glamor thanks to her platinum hair and sexy satin outfits, but she was a tough-talking "real girl" whom audiences loved. And she had the worst first name ever in real life: she was born Harlean Carpenter.

Producer Alan Ladd’s Wife Accuses Bill Cosby of Drugging, Raping Her in 1969 January 26, 2015 | 11:57AM PT, Variety Staff Cindra Ladd, a former film industry exec and wife of producer Alan Ladd Jr., is the latest woman to accuse Bill Cosby of raping and drugging her years ago. In a first-person article published by Huffington Post, Ladd recounts her experience with Cosby when she was 21 and working for producer Ray Stark in New York. Ladd asserts that after becoming friendly in a non-sexual way with Cosby, one evening as the two were heading to a movie he gave her a pill that he said would help her headache. “For more than 45 years I have tried to recall exactly what happened that night. To this day it remains a blur. I have a vague recollection of feeling like I was floating while walking through Times Square and watching some kind of Japanese samurai movie with him. I don’t remember where the theater was nor very much of the evening,” Ladd wrote. “What I do recall, vividly and clearly, is waking up the next morning nude in the bed of his friend’s apartment and seeing Cosby wearing a white terrycloth bathrobe and acting as if there was nothing unusual. It was obvious to me that he had had sex with me. I was horrified, embarrassed and ashamed.” Ladd wrote that it “never occurred to me” to contact law enforcement, given Cosby’s stature as an entertainer and in an era before “date rape” was recognized as crime. She told her husband about the incident nine years ago when another woman accused Cosby of similar acts, Ladd wrote. Ladd joins more than two dozen women who have come forward during the past few months to accuse Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them. The scandal has cost the 77-year-old comedian a sitcom development deal at NBC and a comedy special that was to air in November on Netflix. Ticket sales to Cosby’s live appearances have fallen sharply in many cities although he has dates scheduled through at least May, according to his website. Reps for Cosby have denied many of the allegations. Friends and family members, including his wife Camille, have recently criticized the news media for the damage done to the entertainer’s reputation and for failure to scrutinize the women making the claims. Reps for Cosby did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Ladd’s allegations.
If you have type 2 diabetes you might be interested to learn there is a cure. However, the cure is something that you may not even think you need, in addition to it being highly controversial. That cure is weight loss surgery. Scientists and researchers have known for years that diabetes is cured in a good majority of people who undergo weight loss surgery. In fact, today there are diabetics who don't need to lose weight who are undergoing the procedure strictly to cure their diabetes.

Keram knows that only the tip of the proverbial iceberg has been revealed thus far from the Sony hack. The Amy Pascal-Scott Rudin bitchfest is child's play compared to some of the other stuff that was housed in Sony's email archives, and Sony execs are shitting themselves with worry that the real "Christmas present" is yet to come, hence the reason they yanked "The Interview" so quickly. Keram knows that the email discussions in the Sony leak include extended ones about hiding James Franco's true sexual proclivities (sex with men being the least of them); line items in at *least* a dozen films for either Dr. Feelgood scrips (mostly Oxy) for actors, or coke & heroin in some cases; and a certain overhyped actress who tried to kill herself while filming a certain movie in Sweden a few years ago (there's a reason she hasn't worked since). Keram knows that the most "open-minded" Hollywood actor these days - sexually speaking - is Nicholas Hoult. Keram has heard the detailed sexual proclivities of hundreds of showbiz figures, but Hoult may top them all. He is up for anything and everything with anyone and everyone. Of *course* Tom Ford hit that while filming "A Single Man." Of *course* Luke Evans did the same on "Clash of the Titans." Of *course* he was game for Michael Fassbender's various kinks, up to and including scat. Keram would not be surprised if Hoult had even let Ian McKellen diddle him, though he's heard no such info. Keram knows that the Force wasn't the only thing awakened by the new "Star Wars" movie. Luckily Carrie Fisher isn't in all that many scenes, because otherwise her coke-fueled bipolar meltdown could have halted filming for weeks. Instead, she was very quietly sent to a rehab center in Switzerland, and Abrams delayed filming her scenes for a month. Keram knows DL fave Jake G. had to sacrifice a few things while adding 50 pounds of muscle for "Southpaw," in particular the use of his cock. All those 'roids left him with such a serious case of limpdick that even a max dose of Cialis couldn't do a thing to get him even partially hard. Keram knows Jake immediately started making up for lost time after filming ended, surprising more than a few Angeleno boys on Grindr when he showed up at their pads. (Like many on the app, he had only a shot of his torso on display.) Keram knows that the most genuine celebrity in Hollywood these days may be Chris Pratt. He is genuinely amazed that "Guardians of the Galaxy" is the highest-grossing film of the year, just as he was genuinely amazed that he ended up marrying Anna Faris. Keram is glad to see him getting some long-overdue major success. Keram knows that one of Pratt's costars, Vin Diesel (albeit only in a voice role), has once again developed one of the biggest egos in Hollywood, thanks to the dual success of GOTG and the "Fast & Furious" films. One might think that a decade of consistent failure might have humbled the man; if so, one would be sorely mistaken. Keram knows that the fact that his current "ask" is $20 million for non-F&F films ($30M for F&F sequels) is the reason he's gotten virtually no work to speak of since the success of the fourth F&F film, and that he only did GOTG because it required a mere two days of studio work. Keram also knows that Vin is as gay as ever, despite having a child with his longtime "girlfriend," and is one of the regulars at David Geffen's infamous pool parties. Speaking of which, Keram knows that Geffen's parties have become the *only* place to be now that Bryan Singer has been forced into veritable seclusion (socially speaking) in the aftermath of the lawsuit against him. Geffen has become selective to the point of absurdity in choosing the boys to "service" partygoers. Mere stunning looks are no longer enough: Geffen demands *perfection*. Keram knows of at least two young men who've gotten cosmetic surgery -- specifically, nosejobs, pinned ears and veneers -- simply to gain *entry* into Casa Geffen.
John Edwards Trial: Testimony Reveals Elizabeth Edwards' Dramatic Confrontation With Husband Over Affair 05/2/12 GREENSBORO, N.C. — A former adviser to John Edwards recounted Wednesday how the former presidential candidate's now-deceased wife indignantly confronted her husband, baring her chest in front of staff members the day after a tabloid reported that he was cheating on her. During a session at Edwards' corruption trial that saw his 30-year-old daughter flee the courtroom in tears, Christina Reynolds described how a very upset Elizabeth Edwards stormed away from her husband in October 2007, then collapsed in a ball on the pavement outside a private airplane hangar. Reynolds and another woman guided the anguished wife into a nearby ladies room to compose herself, but she soon returned to the private hangar to again confront her husband. In front of several staff members, the woman who had endured grueling treatments for breast cancer took off her shirt and bra, exposing her chest. "'You don't see me anymore,'" Reynolds quoted Elizabeth Edwards as screaming. "He didn't have much of a reaction." As staffers scrambled to cover up Edwards' wife and huddle her into a car, Reynolds heard the Democratic candidate use a cell phone to call his wife's doctor to ask for help. Edwards then boarded a waiting jet and took off for his scheduled appearance in South Carolina, Reynolds said. She testified that Elizabeth Edwards had known about her husband's affair with Rielle Hunter before The National Enquirer made it public. Hers was the most stirring testimony of the day at Edwards' trial on corruption charges, as prosecutors worked to build a timeline of the affair and efforts to cover it up. Shortly before Reynolds began her account of what happened that day at the Raleigh airport, Edwards turned to his daughter Cate, a lawyer who has been seated in the front row for much of her father's trial. "I don't know what's coming," Edwards was heard saying. "Do you want to leave?" She responded to him in a whisper, grabbed her purse and walked out, wiping away tears. Edwards was heard saying, "Cate, Cate" as she left. She returned to court about a half hour later, after a brief recess. Shortly before her testimony about the airport argument, Reynolds recounted that Elizabeth Edwards asked her over to the couple's gated estate near Chapel Hill in the summer of 2007 to tell her that her husband had confessed to an affair the prior year. "I was very surprised by what she told me and I didn't want it to ever become public so the kids wouldn't have to know about it," the former aide said. Reynolds, now 37, had worked on John Edwards' successful U.S. senate campaign in 1998 and had quickly bonded with his wife. Both women grew up in military families and had moved around a lot as children. Reynolds worked as the research director and a senior communications adviser to the 2008 presidential campaign and recently joined the board of the educational foundation named for Elizabeth Edwards, who died in December of 2010. Edwards has pleaded not guilty to six counts related to campaign-finance violations. He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted on all counts. At issue are payments from wealthy donors used to help keep his pregnant mistress out of public view. Edwards' attorneys have said he didn't know about the money.

Celebrity Big Brother star quits after calling Perez Hilton a ‘faggot’ 18th January 2015, 12:27 PM, Nick Duffy R&B singer Alexander O’Neal has walked out of Celebrity Big Brother, after getting an official warning for calling Perez Hilton a “faggot”. The singer and the gossip blogger had a tense confrontation last night, after Hilton seemed to deliberately provoke him. O’Neal ranted: “I know exactly what you’re doing, you know exactly what you’d get in America. You’re taunting me. You coming over here, you following me. “How could Big Brother let you do this? Oh wait, you ARE Big Brother. You not gonna say one word? “You just gonna sit there will that silly ass faggot look on your face?” The housemate was given an official warning by Big Brother for his use of ‘unacceptable’ language – but was not thrown out the house. Ken Morley was removed from the house earlier this week after using the word “negro”. Mr O’Neal later walked out the house today, becoming the third celebrity to leave. A statement from Channel 5 said: “Alexander O’Neal has chosen to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House.” Drag Race judge Michelle Visage also recently had a confrontation with Hilton, claiming he is “setting the LGBT community back” half a century”. Visage told Big Brother: “[Perez] sets our community back fifty years. He’s an embarrassment, I do not want people judging the gay community on this ass.” Celebrity Big Brother will continue tonight, at 9pm.

Jill Soloway posts a parody ad for "Transparent" called "Transdashian," with an image of Bruce Jenner instead of Jeffrey Tambor. Of course, it's not funny -- it's just another example of CIS SHAMING or something...

A lot. [quote]I learned something from Jill Soloway. I will never ever trust or give a pass to a cisgender person telling trans stories. I will never say “but she gets it!” She doesn’t. And the next cis person who comes along won’t either.

and the girl ended up committing suicide? She pretended to be a boy and sent a friend request to the girl. She kept up this online romance with the girl, planning to, in her words, lure the girl to the mall and make fun of her for falling for their prank. Right before the girl committed suicide, she sent dozens are horrible pm's saying that everyone hated her, and that the world would be better off without her: [quote]Everybody in O'Fallon knows how you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The world would be a better place without you. The girl had just switched schools because of bullying. She transferred and was doing well. The other girl went to her old school, and used to be friends with her. Once this girl switched schools, she no longer had time for her. The girl's mother responded with harassment. Once the girl committed suicide, the mother invited the girl's parents over for her daughter's birthday, even asking them to hide a present she was going to give her for Christmas. This is the woman who caused their daughter to hang herself. The government got involved and prosecuted the mother for fraud, pretending to be someone else on Myspace, ignoring the user contract. She was found guilty and sent to prison, only to have the verdict overturned. She's a free woman now. This began back in 2006. A law was enacted in the end to combat cyber bullying, the Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act. WEHT this fat, ugly, hippo cunt mother? Anyone know? I know anonymous made her life a living hell, destroying her business, forcing her and her husband to be put out of their jobs. They even hacked her phone, and changed the outgoing message as such: "Hi! Lori Drew, world famous teenage girl murderer! Um, if you need any advice on how to drive the suicide of a fourteen year old teenage girl, um, or boy, I'll be glad to return your call. Um, to the media outlets, my only statement would be that I did it for the lulz, L-U-L-Z; my only purpose in life was to do it for the lulz. Um, you know, um, we were just doing it for the lulz, it's not our fault she offed herself to be quite honest with you. Um, so, so what? I mean, she probably would have done it anyways. I mean, she was obviously a dumb fat angry bitch. Um, I'd off myself too, wouldn't you?" About them having to leave their jobs, from AP: "Since the case became public, the woman has had to close her advertising business "because people have been attacking her advertisers and they want nothing to do with her. They don't want the bad publicity," he told NBC. He said her friends and neighbors are afraid to talk to her. "Her daughter has had to drop out of school because of the harassment," he said."
The New York Post has a rivetting interview with five of Michael Jackson's former maids in which they dish the dirt on the King of Pop -- literally. The maids, who are expected to testify in the Wade Robson sex abuse suit against the Jackson estate, say that Jackson lived in filth that was beyond gross. Some choice quotes: -- “Michael sometimes ran around where the animals were, and he’d track . . . poop throughout the house and think nothing of it,” Maid No. 1 recalled. “Then, if you said something, he’d threaten to make doo-doo snowballs and throw it at you.” -- “He literally peed on the floor of the entryway, right where you saw Oprah walk in. It was surreal. He just stood there, unzipped his trousers and watered the floor,” Maid No. 2 said. -- “There were many times I had to sneak in and change his linen. I couldn’t understand how he’d sleep in such filth,” Maid No. 2 said. “There’d be socks and underpants in the bed and half-eaten chicken and potato chips, empty bottles of wine and whiskey on the floor. “And you knew he wet himself — the place reeked.” -- Maid No. 3 said Jacko’s bed, as well as a sofa in the living room, once became infested with bedbugs. “He said, ‘Get them the hell out of here. Call the exterminator,’ ” she recalled. “He said we should do a better job, and he said he knew that we came from poor countries so we were used to bedbugs, but he couldn’t live with them. “Everybody he brought in to clean, and sometimes we’d even get cleaning services to come in for the extra help. Everybody was repulsed. His bedroom smelled horrible. If everyone else was like me, they hated going in there.” - The most scurrilous item Jacko held on to? “I’d say there were two,” recalled Maid No. 2, who worked at Neverland from 1994 to 1996. “A soiled baby’s diaper, and a pair of Fruit of the Loom that was obviously worn by someone who was either a teen or an early-age adult.” The maids also say Michael was a hoarder, a "depraved drug addict" and a creepy anti-Semite who would rant about how people like Steven Spielberg would end up in "Jew hell." But I'm sure all five of these women just made this shit up out of thin air and it's all a part of the massive conspiracy against him. Cue the hysterical Michael fangurls and boyz . . .

My partner and I were out last night with some friends and we were nearly back to the house when this thing ran in front of the car. I was driving and not going too fast, so I hit the brakes and we both watched what we realized was a raccoon run across the street and leap into a window well of this guy's house. The guy who owns the house is a mean old closet queen who goes out of his way to be an asshole. He's a snowbird, so he won't be home for at least another month, during which time that raccoon could do a lot of damage. We're good friends with a lesbian couple who lives on the other side of the guy, and we're going to walk over there tonight and tell them. They hate the guy, probably more than anyone else.
Hawaii Rep. Bob McDermott Introduces Constitutional Amendment Banning Gay Marriage By On Top Magazine Staff, Published: January 31, 2015 Hawaii State Rep. Bob McDermott has proposed allowing voters to decide whether gay and lesbian couples can marry in the state. In 2013, Hawaii became one of the 36 states, plus the District of Columbia, where gay couples can marry when former Governor Neil Abercrombie signed a bill into law approved by lawmakers. McDermott, a Republican, has sued in state court, arguing that the Legislature did not have the authority to legalize such unions. The case is currently before the Hawaii Supreme Court. The Honolulu Civil Beat reported Friday that McDermott's measure proposes amending the Hawaii Constitution to “reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples.” The outlet noted, “it seems unlikely that a majority of lawmakers would want to revisit the issue.”

Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole has reassigned an officer involved in the arrest last summer of a 69-year-old man who refused to drop a golf club he was carrying on a city sidewalk. Officer Cynthia Whitlatch ordered the man to drop the golf club, saying he had swung it at her patrol car in a threatening manner and struck a stop sign. A video of the encounter last summer shows that after driving around a block, the officer pulled her cruiser up to a corner where the man, William Wingate, was standing, and yelled at him to drop the golf club.

Are there any classical music aficionados here? I'm fairly ignorant about it...there are certain composers and pieces that I really like (as well as ones I can't stand), but I couldn't tell you about styles or eras, or anything like that. I guess I'm mostly looking for suggestions for more classical music that I would like. For instance, I really love Debussy, Paganini, and some Mozart. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is wonderful. Cannot stand what I've heard of Wagner. Is this enough to go on to figure out where my taste lies?

Every black guy I've been with talks about his cock like its the greatest thing since sliced bread. They ask me shit like if I've ever been with a black guy and make comments about how big it and how sore I'll be. Usually when the zipper comes down I'm very disappointed. Most of the black cock I've seen has been average to small. One guy from Martinique had one nearly as big as my forearm. Seriously. So I guess my question is why do these tinymeat black guys all lie? Are they hoping I'll just accept their dick as big because they say it is?

We all know this is true. Yes, there's misogynistic gay men, but still, the majority of gays can relate to women more so than to men for some reason. Is it because we grow up gay, and can't really fit in with a society full of straight males, so they look towards the other gender? Is there truth to gay men's brains are more in line with women's? I'm just really curious. It's not bad to somehow have a woman as a role model, but with gay men, it seems overwhelmingly so, more than they can relate to straight men, or men period. Just a sociological question.

We now have SSA, Men who have sex with Men, Guys into Dudes, even Str8 for Str8. I believe this is because few men attracted to men want anything to do with the queens and nellies. I recently went to the wedding of two men in NY. The officiator opened with 'This is not a gay wedding, the men marrying today find it offensive when they are called gay. They are quite simply two men who love each other and have decided to create a life together. They would appreciate it if you don't take the G word to the reception." I know many of you on DL LOVE gay, and are gay. I now think the majority of men who have sex with men do not identify as gay and never will.

His parents drive him everywhere and buy him everything he wants. This morning I went to pick up my sister and he was whining that he had to put his dishes in the dishwasher. Then started asking his mother how to work the dishwasher. Frankly he acts infantile and it's embarrassing to watch my sister and BIL baby him. This isn't normal, is it?

How is this possible? More than one-third of people who are still uninsured under Obamacare -- but appear to be eligible for coverage -- were told that they were not eligible for health insurance under the law, according to a new report. The finding, from a survey of 10,500 uninsured Americans by the non-profit Kaiser Family Foundation, is truly perplexing. If you extrapolate out to the overall uninsured population in the United States, it means that more than 5 million people who by the letter of the law should be covered were told that they weren't qualified. "I've got no possible explanation for you," Caroline Pearson, vice president of Avalere Health, an independent consulting firm and a top expert on health policy, told TPM. That's a bit of an exaggeration -- she and others had some educated guesses -- but it's not that far off. Kaiser found that about 48 percent of the estimated 30 million people who remain uninsured were likely eligible for either Medicaid or private insurance subsidies under Obamacare. The rest were ineligible because they made too much money to qualify for tax subsidies or had access to employer-sponsored insurance (17 percent), their immigration status disqualified them (14 percent) or they fell into the law's coverage gap because their state didn't expand Medicaid (18 percent). Of the 48 percent who are eligible for coverage, 30 percent said that it was still too expensive. Another 33 percent gave another reason, which covers a range of possibilities, including ideological opposition to the law or they didn't finish their application. But the maddening finding is the 37 percent of eligible uninsured who said they were nonetheless told they didn't qualify for coverage. The survey didn't follow up with a question about how they were told they were ineligible. "It jumped out at us, too," Larry Levitt, vice president at Kaiser, told TPM in an email. Two possible explanations came to mind for Pearson and Levitt. One is that some of those people who are eligible for coverage now actually were ineligible when they first tried to apply. The lower a person's income, the more volatile their income often is. It's plausible that a chunk of these people had become eligible between the time they applied and the survey, conducted from Sept. 2 to Dec. 15, 2014. The other is that people misunderstood what they'd been told, whether by the insurance exchange websites, an assistant who helped them try to sign up, etc. The insurance information gap has always been seen as a major challenge to Obamacare. "People may have been confused about what they were being told," Levitt said. "Or, they may have been told they were ineligible for marketplace coverage but eligible for Medicaid, or vice versa, and were confused by that or didn’t follow up." Some of that responsibility could also lay with HealthCare.gov and the other insurance exchanges. "I think some of the messages for people who appeared to be Medicaid eligible were particularly muddled" in the early days of 2014 enrollment, Pearson said. TPM reached out to administration officials for their take on the Kaiser findings. But whatever the explanation, it demonstrates a remaining obstacle for Obamacare: Most of the easily enrolled have been swept up in the law's first two years. Getting through to the rest of the uninsured is the next assignment as the law works toward its goal of near-universal health coverage.
WTF? Experts Stumped By New Finding On Obamacare And The Uninsured
I was talking late one night over drinks with a straight co-worker - dishing about a 'Bi' guy in our office. "Oh, he's a total Top," said my friend. "He won't suck a dick or take it up the ass. He told me so. He'll cuddle, but won't kiss a guy. No way!" "Well, then he's not gay." "Of course he is! He likes to get ..." "His dick sucked. Yeah. That's not GAY that's being a GUY." So there we have it. We pondered that for a while. Does having a guy suck your dick make you gay? Or are the truly gay guys the ones that actually want and crave cock? I personally think TOPS are frauds.

Jumping Off the Jennifer Lawrence Bandwagon By Tyler Coates People don’t ask me often why I’m not on the Jennifer Lawrence bandwagon. Given my hyperbolic instinct to use “hate” carelessly, one friend of mine explained to an acquaintance that I “just like to hate things.” Being someone who writes online, of course, means that nonsensically disliking elements of pop culture is a given — providing a contrarian take on what is deemed “too popular” is, after all, a pretty clever click-baiting tactic. (Go ahead and count how many writers, either in headlines or just on Twitter, have timed their thoughts on how overrated Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is to the release of a sure-to-be-polarizing big-budget adaptation of the classic novel.) So let me assure you that what I’m about to say isn’t a cheap way to troll an audience. But I’m afraid I just don’t care for Jennifer Lawrence. Now, I don’t think she’s a bad actress. Winter’s Bone is a fantastic film, and Lawrence gives an incredibly nuanced and realistic performance. Even though I didn’t completely love The Hunger Games when I read it, I enjoyed the film version, and Lawrence’s natural style brought a necessary weight to a movie that could have otherwise derailed, given the heavy-handed, blockbuster elements of the narrative. I will confess, however, that I hated Silver Linings Playbook so much that I left halfway through the film, and snickered when I heard someone mutter, “What?!” as I made my way back up the aisle. What bugs me about Jennifer Lawrence — or, more specifically, the cult of personality that surrounds Jennifer Lawrence — is the notion that she’s just an everyday, relatable girl who found herself in the acting biz, a narrative perpetuated by the February cover story in Vanity Fair. In a piece that, oddly, included almost as much revealing information about its author as its subject (a tactic that puts both on equal footing), Lawrence confides that she has the same kinds of neuroses as anybody else — the anxiety, for instance, that comes with being the object of attention. (I always find it odd when actors admit this, as if they didn’t choose a profession that requires being the center of attention.) She revealed how excited she was to meet Daniel Radcliffe at a talk show taping. And she expressed her love for food. It’s a narrative that promotes the idea that Lawrence is a refreshing version of a starlet, who’s excited to be at the party because she doesn’t think she belongs. Lawrence was almost universally lauded when she referred to acting as “stupid” in the same profile. “Everybody’s like, ‘How can you remain with a level head?’” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Why would I ever get cocky? I’m not saving anybody’s life. There are doctors who save lives and firemen who run into burning buildings. I’m making movies. It’s stupid.’” Sure, it’s not on the same level as being a surgeon, but acting is still a profession that garners a lot of fame and money. Being an office clerk or working in a factory or writing books or cooking hamburgers at a fast food joint are, to be honest, as noble as acting. It’s the attitude behind that sort of statement, and especially the back-patting that followed it, that bugs me. If she thinks acting is stupid, she shouldn’t do it. If she gets fulfillment — or even just enjoyment — out of it, especially considering how many people study to act and struggle to make a career out of it, it’s meaningful. There’s a whiff of ingratitude about Lawrence that continues to be rewarded because most see statements like this as “honest” or “irreverent.” Perhaps I don’t dislike Jennifer Lawrence so much as I dislike.....

Release Date: Jan 28, 2015 Huge distant planet has rings 200 times wider than Saturn’s First-ever ringed planet beyond our solar system. You could think of it as kind of a super Saturn. Called J1407b, its ring system is 200 times wider than Saturn’s. An international team of astronomers have discovered that a ring system around a distant planet – called J1407b – is of enormous proportions, much larger and heavier than the ring system of Saturn. The planet orbits star J1407, located approximately 434 light-years from Earth. The ring system – the first of its kind to be found outside our solar system – was discovered in 2012. A new analysis of the data, published in the Astrophysical Journal, shows that the ring system consists of more than 30 rings, each of them tens of millions of kilometers in diameter. Furthermore, the analysis found gaps in the rings, which indicate that satellites (“exomoons”) may have formed. Erik Mamajek is a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester and a co-author of the study. He said: [quote]This planet is much larger than Jupiter or Saturn, and its ring system is roughly 200 times larger than Saturn’s rings are today. You could think of it as kind of a super Saturn. The disk of rings is so vast that, were it around Saturn, it would dominate our night sky, the astronomers said. According to Matthew Kenworthy of the Leiden Observatory in The Netherlands: [quote]If we could replace Saturn’s rings with the rings around J1407b, they would be easily visible at night and be many times larger than the full moon. Mamajek put into context how much material is contained in these disks and rings: [quote]If you were to grind up the four large Galilean moons of Jupiter into dust and ice and spread out the material over their orbits in a ring around Jupiter, the ring would be so opaque to light that a distant observer that saw the ring pass in front of the sun would see a very deep, multi-day eclipse. [quote]In the case of J1407, we see the rings blocking as much as 95 percent of the light of this young Sun-like star for days, so there is a lot of material there that could then form satellites. Astronomers expect that the rings will become thinner in the next several million years and eventually disappear as satellites form from the material in the disks.

She'll get $12 million to spill her guts. Monica Lewinsky is reportedly set to write a tell-all book about her affair with Bill Clinton - including her intimate love letters to the ex-president and how he had an insatiable desire for threesomes. The former White House intern, 39, reportedly wants revenge on Clinton, who she believes escaped unscathed while she has never been able to shake the disgrace of their Oval Office trysts. Friends claim publishers are scrambling to get their hands on the book, and after holding meetings, she has learned she could get as much a $12 million if she recounts every tawdry detail. While she has not yet secured a book deal, her apparent attempts to cash in on the affair could rattle the Clinton marriage - and wreck Hillary's bid for the presidency in 2016. Speaking to the National Enquirer, her friends said the memoir could even spark further health problems for the former president, who has undergone heart surgeries. 'Her book could be more than just revenge, it could kill him!' a source said. Her bids for a book deal will at least shake Clinton - bringing him crashing down from the success he enjoyed after an energetic speech at the Democratic National Convention earlier this month.

In their early days on television, Chris Hyndman says, he was tormented daily by hate mail. The worst part? Much of it came from the gay community. “The gay community can be pretty cold, and it’s pretty hard on you if people turn on you that you expect to really accept you because you’re a screaming queen,” Hyndman says. “Well, a lot of us are, but when a gay person says you’re a screaming queen, that’s pretty insulting because then you’re, like, Oh my god, you’re a queen to the queens.” “You would take them personally,”Steven Sabados chides. Ignoring the hate came more naturally to him. “It just rolled off my back because I don’t really care. You can’t hurt me. I’m just doing the best I can do, and if you don’t like it, then I don’t care,” he says.

Fox News Radio host Tom Sullivan told a caller who said she suffered from bipolar disorder that her illness is "something made up by the mental health business" and just "the latest fad." When the caller told Sullivan that she "would not be alive today" if she hadn't received mental health treatment, Sullivan wondered if "maybe somebody's talked you into feeling and thinking this way." Sullivan, who is also a frequent Fox Business contributor and guest anchor, began his January 28 program by complaining that people with mental illness have figured how to "game the system" by receiving disability benefits. "They're mostly government employees and they know how to do it," he added. Sullivan also defended Sen. Rand Paul's (R-KY) controversial and false statement that "Over half the people on disability are either anxious or their back hurts." A caller later challenged Sullivan over his remarks, saying she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder thirteen years ago and mental health treatment allowed her to graduate from college and obtain a full-time job. The caller, who now volunteers with Stop Stigma Sacramento, noted that bipolar disorder isn't a made up illness and is biological. Sullivan responded by telling her, "I've got to tell you, if you haven't been told, I will tell you. I think bipolar is like the latest fad. Everybody and their brother is getting diagnosed with bipolar. And last time I checked, we all have good days and we all have bad. And I don't consider that an illness. And I don't consider it a disability." He added that bipolar disorder is "something made up by the mental health business just to be able to give people prescriptions and keep them coming in, and keeping you -- paying them money." The caller told Sullivan bipolar disorder "truly is a disorder and a disease. I know that personally I would not be alive today if it were not for medications and for therapy. Because I would have killed myself. When I was in college, I was there, I almost did it." Sullivan replied: "You ever think that maybe, maybe somebody's talked you into feeling and thinking this way?" Fox News Radio headlined the segment on their website: "(AUDIO) Bipolar Woman Says She DESERVES Disability Benefits. Tom Tells Her She's WRONG!" The site also put up a stock photo of a woman in a bathrobe watching TV on her couch. Sullivan's remarks are factual garbage. The American Psychological Association states that "Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness in which common emotions become intensely and often unpredictably magnified. Individuals with bipolar disorder can quickly swing from extremes of happiness, energy and clarity to sadness, fatigue and confusion. These shifts can be so devastating that individuals may choose suicide." The National Institute of Mental Health similarly notes that "Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness" and "If not treated, bipolar disorder can lead to damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide." False and incendiary remarks like those from Sullivan only contribute to stigma surrounding mental illness. USA Today spoke with health advocates and professionals for a series on this stigma and noted it "forces many to live in shame rather than seek support, even as their lives unravel. Yet patients who want help often can't find it, says [former Rep. Patrick] Kennedy, who has acknowledged his own struggles with bipolar disorder and drug addiction." The Mayo Clinic notes that "False beliefs about mental illness can cause significant problems" including "Reluctance to seek help or treatment," "Lack of understanding by family, friends, co-workers or others you know," "Fewer opportunities for work, school or social activities or trouble finding housing" and "Bullying, physical violence or harassment." From the January 28 edition of Fox News Radio's The Tom Sullivan Show: SULLIVAN: I'm very skeptical. And I've got to tell you, if you haven't been told, I will tell you. I think bipolar is like the latest fad. Everybody and their brother is getting diagnosed with bipolar. And last time I checked, we all have good days and we all have bad. And I don't consider that an illness. And I don't consider it a disability. CALLER: That is very true, however, there are people that have the extremes of that. They have their bad days, are beyond -- I mean you literally cannot get out of bed. Not because you don't, that you don't want to -- SULLIVAN: What were these people called 25 years ago? CALLER: Well, you know what, it's funny -- SULLIVAN: Before they came with this bipolar diagnosis. I mean, I just think it's something made up by the mental health business just to be able to give people prescriptions and keep them coming in, and keeping you -- paying them money. [...] SULLIVAN: You ever heard of these doctors that say the psychology business is full of basically people -- it's big pharma that's pushing the whole thing because they make a ton of money? Your parents never would have gotten this. There wasn't even a diagnosis as bipolar when your parents were your age. CALLER: No, that's true. SULLIVAN: So -- and you know what? They did just fine. Society did fine. I don't know, I don't know why we have to create these new illnesses, and create all these medicines for something that really wasn't a problem in the first place. CALLER: Well, I understand what you're saying. And that is a common, that's a common feeling for a lot of people. They don't understand it, and honestly, you won't understand it until you experience it. And I would never wish this on my worst enemy. But it truly is a disorder and a disease. I know that personally I would not be alive today if it were not for medications and for therapy. Because I would have killed myself. When I was in college, I was there, I almost did it. So if, you know, there are actual problems. I'm actually affected physically, not just mentally, you know, having disabilities -- SULLIVAN: You ever think that maybe, maybe somebody's talked you into feeling and thinking this way? CALLER: I wish. No.

Mine is Death Becomes Her. I know it's not "Oscar material" but it has some of the best lines and driest humour ever. And watching Meryl and Goldie beat the shit out of each other is epic. The ending always makes me laugh out loud.

They are one of the most irrelevant countries in the world. I can't even understand why they would try to threaten the U.S. Why doesn't the United States just throw a nuclear weapon and blow North Korea to a smithereens. Is anyone tired of them constantly threatening to blow up Texas. Fuck them.
The leader of a small West African nation that receives American humanitarian aid has warned that any gay or lesbians found in his country will "regret" being born. Yahya Jammeh, who has been president of Gambia since a bloodless coup in 1994, is not shy about expressing his anti-gay opinions. The president's latest rant came during a speech on March 28 at the opening of the country’s parliament, according to Gambia's Freedom Newspaper Online. In an interesting juxtaposition of themes, Jammeh called for continued peace in his country, promised to root out criminal activity and warned homosexuals to stay out of the region or suffer severe consequences. “Homosexuality is anti-humanity. I have never seen homosexual chicken, or turkey," Jammeh said, according to the Freedom Newspaper. "If you are convicted of homosexuality in this country, there will be no mercy for offenders." He continued thus: Homosexuality is anti-god, anti-human, and anti-civilization. Homosexuals are not welcome in the Gambia. If we catch you, you will regret why you are born. I have buffalos from South Africa and Brazil and they never date each other. We are ready to eat grass but we will not compromise on this. Allowing homosexuality means allowing satanic rights. We will not allow gays here. These statements, while extreme, are in line with the president's previous comments on the subject. In April 2012, for example, the leader opened the legislative year by maintaining no foreign aid incentives would ever cause him to change his mind on homosexuality, a criminal offense in the predominantly Muslim country. “Sometimes you hear of a lot of noise about the laws of this country or my pronouncements," Jammeh said at the time, according to The Point Newspaper in Banjul, Gambia. "Let me make it very clear that, if you want me to offend God for you to give me aid, you are making a great mistake; you will not bribe me to do what is evil and ungodly." And in 2008, Jammeh said he would "cut off the head" of any gay person caught in the country, a threat he later retracted, according to Agence France-Presse. Despite Jammeh's anti-gay stance, the United States still maintains an Embassy in the country. Having lifted sanctions in 2002, the U.S. provides humanitarian, democracy-building and education assistance, according to the U.S Embassy website. The Gambian government, meanwhile, "has provided steadfast, tangible support for the war on terrorism," the U.S. Embassy notes. Dr. Stefan Baral, a public health specialist and human rights advocate who has studied Gambia's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) population, said in a phone interview that Jammeh is not just a talking head. Baral told The Huffington Post that Gambians don't ignore pronouncements like Jammeh's last week, especially since such statements come with the backing of the country's powerful Imams. Anti-gay rhetoric is also a developing public health issue, according to Baral, as HIV prevalence in Gambia is relatively high. The people the government should be supporting are the people it is discriminating against the most, he told HuffPost. Countries like the U.S. might consider this a human rights issue, he said, but Jammeh's attitude is the LGBT community is not human. The Gambian Embassy in the U.S. did not respond to a request for comment.

Heatwave gaffe fuels another hot forecast: viewers love a male model Cory McCloskey of Fox 10 in Arizona explains the 3,000F weather prediction that went viral and breaks out the old modelling portfolio Adam Gabbatt in New York, Friday 30 January 2015 17.45 EST A week of extreme weather conditions in the US is due to be topped off by near 3,000F heat in Arizona – at least according to one local weather forecaster and former male model. Cory McCloskey, weatherman for Fox 10 in Phoenix, inadvertently predicted a furnace-level heatwave on Wednesday after his map malfunctioned on air, showing four-figure temperatures across the Arizona area. And the forecaster caused Fox 10 temperatures to soar once again on Friday, when he brought in his old modelling portfolio for a video Q&A explainer on the gaffe. Viewers were variously sent scrambling for their rosary beads, loved ones and hand fans on Wednesday after McCloskey’s weather segment predicted the kind of temperatures that could liquefy bronze and iron. “Wow 750 degrees in Gila Bend right now,” McCloskey said as his map began to malfunction. “And 1,270 in Ahwatukee,” he continued. “Now I’m not authorised to evacuate Ahwatukee but this temperature seems pretty high.” Cave Creek was the hottest place on McCloskey’s map at 2,960F, with Wickenburg a close second at 2,385F. Fox 10 Phoenix hosted a 50-minute YouTube Q&A with McCloskey on Friday in which the forecaster explained that his weather map “populates itself” with temperatures. McCloskey said had not checked them before the broadcast as “it has never been a problem, ever”. “When I turned round to the map and I saw quadruple digit temperatures, you know me, I immediately thought, this will be fun,” he told his colleague Samia Khan. The wide-ranging Q&A focused on McCloskey’s college education, his upbringing, and his favourite Pokemon character, until – in a moment almost as surreal as McCloskey’s predicting of 3,000F heat in central Arizona – the forecaster revealed, unprompted, that he had “brought something”. That something turned out to be McCloskey’s old modelling portfolio from the mid-1980s. “Oh wow,” McCloskey said, as Khan held up one shot of him posing in a vest behind some bars. “I didn’t know that was happening.” The pair proceeded to thumb through perfectly preserved shots of McCloskey in ski gear, in hunting gear and in underwear. “That’s the kind of stuff I was up to back in those days,” McCloskey.

He's an engineer and makes $500k a year. They live in a gorgeous home in Dallas, she has a nanny for the kids. Ill grant that he's not the nicest guy in the world, but he's hardly ever home. She says she has reason to believe that he screws around on her when he's out of town. I told her she needs a reality check. She's got a rather well-off husband. She doesn't have to work or take care of the kids. If he's got other women, then she doesn't even have to fuck him anymore. I'm trying to talk some sense into her, but she's rather idealistic. She's got no good reason to leave. Besides, he works so much that he'll probably keel over from a heart attack soon enough. And if he leaves her, she can take him to the cleaners. Texas is a community property state. Is there anything else I can say to make her see the light?
The first new antibiotic to be discovered in nearly 30 years has been hailed as a ‘paradigm shift’ in the fight against the growing resistance to drugs. Teixobactin has been found to treat many common bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, septicaemia and C. diff, and could be available within five years. But more importantly it could pave the way for a new generation of antibiotics because of the way it was discovered. Scientists have always believed that the soil was teeming with new and potent antibiotics because bacteria have developed novel ways to fight off other microbes. But 99 per cent of microbes will not grow in laboratory conditions leaving researchers frustrated that they could not get to the life-saving natural drugs. Now a team from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, have discovered a way of using an electronic chip to grow the microbes in the soil and then isolate their antibiotic chemical compounds. They discovered that one compound, Teixobactin, is highly effective against common bacterial infections Clostridium difficile, Mycobacterium tuberculous and Staphylococcus aureus.
What''s her appeal?
She must be sooooooooooo jealous. Almost as jealous of when Madonna stole all the press on Desperately Seeking Susan.

1. Increasing money and credit by the Fed is not the same as increasing wealth. It in fact does the opposite. 2. More government spending is not equivalent to increasing wealth. 3. Liquidation of debt and correction in wages, salaries, and consumer prices is not the monster that many fear. 4. Corrections, allowed to run their course, are beneficial and should not be prolonged by bailouts with massive monetary inflation. 5. The people spending their own money is far superior to the government spending it for them. 6. Propping up stock and bond prices, the current Fed goal, is not a road to economic recovery. 7. Though bailouts help the insiders and the elite 1%, they hinder the economic recovery. 8. Production and savings should be the source of capital needed for economic growth. 9. Monetary expansion can never substitute for savings but guarantees mal–investment. 10. Market rates of interest are required to provide for the economic calculation necessary for growth and reversing an economic downturn. 11. Wars provide no solution to a recession/depression. Wars only make a country poorer while war profiteers benefit. 12. Bits of paper with ink on them or computer entries are not money – gold is. 13. Higher consumer prices per se have nothing to do with a healthy economy. 14. Lower consumer prices should be expected in a healthy economy as we experienced with computers, TVs, and cell phones.
After reading the blind item below I have to wonder why Taylor Swift beards? I could maybe understand her doing it when she was new and trying to make a name for herself, but she has been ubber famous for years now. Why continue to make a fool of herself? Is she just dumb?: This girl is furious about her most recent failed relationship! Her anger is directed at two parties in particular: the guy with whom she recently broke up; and her management team, for getting her into this relationship in the first place. While her jet was being readied to whisk her off to her next location, she ranted to a friend about the coupling. She is mad at the guy because she feels that he didn’t hold up his end of the bargain. She called him a “F*cking idiot!” and “A bad actor” and complained that “He didn’t even f*cking try!” to make them look like a real couple. This is especially infuriating to her because his management team was the one that originally hatched the plan to set them up. She is also mad at her management team because this is not the first time they have set her up in a relationship that went wrong. When her friend questioned her why she continued to allow herself to be set up, she went ballistic. “Why?! Why?! Because we need the f*ing publicity, that’s why! And instead of getting good publicity, now I look like a f*cking slut!” She finished the conversation by declaring, “I’m done! I am never doing this again! I am ready to quit this whole f*cking thing!” The entire time she was saying this, Our Girl was pacing up and down near the runway, yelling and crying and gesturing to emphasize her fury. That’s a far cry from the sweet, together girl you see during performances and TV interviews. Oh, and given all this, we think it’s safe to say that this couple is never getting back together.

The Oscar snub of Selma sucked. It was one of the best movies I've seen in a theater this year. But, by portraying a democratic president (LBJ) as an evil monster, it lost votes. Why can't people accept that ALL presidents are monsters?
I have to say... the premiere was a bit underwhelming. It seemed awfully "forced" and "contrived". I hope it's just the nature of being a pilot that has to set up so much, and that future episodes are better. I'm still in.
She now says "my children didn't sign up for this." But they did, because all three are paid for being on Real Housewives and have signed contracts. Also, apparently her "kids" don't mind the red carpet appearances, the money from that awful BLK water, etc.

We post a lot about individual films and awards and years - the best films, the worst actresses, who got robbed when, and so on. But what was the worst year ever, with the most Oscars gotten wrong, across the list of winners and categories? Going over the winners' lists, I was surprised at how many years managed to balance things out - terrible errors in some categories redeemed somewhat by getting others right (in my opinion). At the moment I think 2002 is the worst so far in the century. A BEAUTIFUL MIND, Ron Howard, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jennifer Connelly, and A BEAUTIFUL MIND for adapted screenplay offer a mix of films and individuals that seem bad choices. But the all-time worst? I think the awards for 1967, the year of BONNIE AND CLYDE and THE GRADUATE, in which IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT won Best Picture, Steiger beat Beatty and Paul Newman, whose COOL HAND LUKE was wonderful, and Hepburn beat both Bancroft and Dunaway. Terrible. I don't fault the Kennedy and Parsons supporting awards, but from the lousy CAMELOT awards (beating BONNIE AND CLYDE for costumes and art direction), to ITHOTN winning editing with BONNIE AND CLYDE not even nominated, it was ridiculous. I love THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE but it beat Quincy Jones's tremendous IN COLD BLOOD for score. And even Best Song was absolute shit. "Talk to the Animals" beat "The Bare Necessities," "The Look of Love" and "Thoroughly Modern Millie." The money campaign to push DOCTOR DOLITTLE was infamous at the time, at its nomination for Best Picture cut such films as COOL HAND LUKE, WAIT UNTIL DARK, THE DIRTY DOZEN and IN COLD BLOOD out of recognition. 1944 was the shits, too, but not quite in the same way. And Hitchcock was robbed over and over.
The best foreign language prize remains as baffling as ever. But what about Blue is the Warmest Colour? Here we go again. Every year, as autumn looms, we consider the puzzle that is the Oscar for best foreign language picture. As you will probably be aware, each country is only allowed to enter one film. The list is then whittled down to manageable proportions for those voting members courageous enough to sit through a film in a language that is not their own. Sometimes the movie picks itself. On other occasions, the film should pick itself, but ends up being shuffled aside for some less troubling, more digestible baloney. It’s hard to know quite what’s happened here. The French authorities have decided to go with Bertrand Bonello’s indifferently received Saint Laurent. There’s is no real chance that the picture could win. It would be faintly remarkable if it managed to pick up a nomination. Now, you might reasonably argue that this has not been a spectacularly fine year for French cinema. But there is another elephant in the room that has not been addressed. What about Abdellatif Kechiche’s Blue is the Warmest Colour? Stay with me, here. Yes, that film won the Palme d’Or at Cannes close to a year and a half ago. But, as it was released later than October in its home country, it failed to qualify for the 2014 ceremony. Remember that The Hunt, which opened at Cannes way back in 2012, was a nominee in this year’s foreign-language category. So, the French could have picked the searing lesbian romance. This, despite the fact that Blue was eligible for all other prizes this year. It would have been entirely possible (I think) for Adèle Exarchopoulos to be nominated as best actress this year and for the film to compete in best foreign language picture 12 months later. Anyway, the French didn’t pick the thing. Our money is on the Dardennes brothers — selected by Belgium for Two Days, One Night — to take their first Oscar. Though we’d prefer to see Xavier Dolan’s Quebecois drama Mommy do the business. It seems that the French language may triumph even if the nation itself does not. They may as well have retained their honour and picked the bloody Godard film.

Someone posted this article on Facebook, and my initial reaction was to roll my eyes viciously. What does Data Lounge think?
It's such a great film, but it has a lot of problems in it. The "Crazy Veil" sequence is beautiful but it stops the whole movie cold. The "Gotta Dance" sequence is great, but it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever how it could possibly be interpolated into "The Duelling Cavalier" (and it has nothing to do with the rest of the wider movie). Worst of all, Lina seems punished too cruelly at the very end, and yet she always gives audiences more pleasure than anyone else in the film. But you can forgive it everything for its great musical numbers and its brilliant dialogue ("If we can bring a little joy into your humdrum little lives, then all our hard work ain't been in vain for nothin'").
What TV show from the 80's did you jerk off to the most? Considering I was born in the 80's my taste is late-80's Theo from Cosby and Dwayne from A Different World. And Zack from Saved by the Bell. And Tony Randall from Head of the class. I guess I was a cock-whore from the beginning.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The winds of political change are coursing through austerity-weary Greece, but a financial whirlwind may lurk round the corner. Opinion polls ahead of Sunday's closely-watched national election agree: The radical left opposition Syriza party, which has vowed to rewrite the terms of Greece's international bailout, is poised to defeat Prime Minister Antonis Samaras' conservatives. To govern — in a historic first for the Greek left — it may need the backing of a smaller party, but most seem willing to oblige. "I want this government to go. It has disappointed me," said Babis Limnaios, 41, an Athens electrician who last voted in 2004 for the conservatives but will now back Syriza. "I want them to change everything — tax, health care, education." Communist-rooted Syriza has alarmed markets and investors with its talk of massive debt forgiveness and riding roughshod over the bailout deals. But the mood is less fraught than in the last national election in 2012, when many saw a Syriza victory as a precursor to a possible Greek exit from the eurozone, the 19 nations that now share the euro currency. For one, Greece's European partners are less exposed to fallout from a Greek financial collapse. The eurozone has a bailout fund and the European Central Bank has committed to buy the bonds of troubled countries, if needed. And despite erratic bombshells from some Syrizan officials — one candidate suggested printing euros if push comes to shove — the party is straining to play up its mainstream, Eurocentric aspects. Still, Greece's next government faces an enormous to-do list. It must consolidate reforms, keep running balanced budgets, strengthen weak growth after a six-year recession, conclude frozen talks with bailout inspectors to secure a 7.2-billion-euro ($8.1 billion) loan tranche and negotiate further relief for its bloated, 320-billion-euro ($359 billion) debt. Creditors insist Athens must honor its bailout commitments if it is to receive continued support. If things go wrong, Greece could again face default — despite its 240-billion-euro ($269 billion) bailout and years of belt-tightening — and find its eurozone membership untenable. Samaras, whose New Democracy party governed since May 2012 in a coalition with its Socialist former archrivals, has promised some tax relief, saying economic growth and investment will gradually reduce unemployment. He was forced to call Sunday's vote to end an impasse over the election of Greece's new president. Syriza's 40-year-old leader, Alexis Tsipras — a former Communist youth member — favors a radical approach: Writing off most of Greece's debt, a burden he describes as "not just unbearable, it objectively cannot be repaid." Tsipras voiced confidence Friday that he can strike a "viable, mutually acceptable and beneficial" deal with creditors by the end of June, after which Greece will need to pay maturing bonds worth more than 10 billion euros that are held by the ECB. Syriza wants to ditch primary surplus targets, while still pursuing a balance between non-debt-related spending and revenues. It proposes to restore the minimum monthly salary from 586 to 751 euros ($657 to $842), provide free power and food coupons to 300,000 households, raise the tax-free income threshold from 5,000 to 12,000 euros ($13,500), reverse public sector firings and liberalize labor laws. Greece's electoral system gives a 50-seat boost to the first party, making it effectively impossible for the runner-up to form a coalition if the winner fails. In a deeply polarized campaign, the conservatives have demonized Syriza, stoking middle class fears of bankruptcy and a return to the old drachma currency. "The only thing they haven't said so far is that, if Syriza wins, it will round up your children and seize your women," Tsipras joked. But the invective doesn't seem to be working. Opinion polls published on the last day of campaigning showed Syriza increasing its lead, with five surveys giving Tsipras an advantage of between 5.2 and 6.7 percentage points — a gain of about 2 points in a week. In the name of national salvation, Greeks have suffered five years of gruesomely high unemployment, during which the economy shrank by a quarter and average incomes by a third. Jobs, where available, are mostly underpaid or part-time, offering no social security or prospects for advancement. Health care services have deteriorated, pensions have been slashed, and most apartment blocks lack central heating because so many residents can't pay. Meanwhile, the average tax burden has multiplied. The final straw was last year's decision to make permanent a hated new property tax. That hurts, because for decades ordinary Greeks had invested in real estate. Since 2009, however, market prices — but not taxable values — have dropped 40 percent and rents have shrunk. Cinema production electrician Gerasimos Soulis said he would vote for Syriza but without great conviction in its ability to enact change. "Jobs have opened, but they're not jobs. It's like you're making pocket money," he said. "We are trying with a third of the money to do what we used to do. And we're happy that we now have a third, because they made us grow accustomed to having nothing." What remains doubtful is whether Syriza will secure the minimum 151 seats in Greece's 300-member parliament that it needs to govern alone. If not, it must look for a partner from a smaller party. Tsipras said Friday that he is "one step" away from an absolute majority, which would spare him an alliance with "the forces of yesterday, which have every reason to want to trip Syriza up after the election." But he indicated that he would compromise, if needed, to avoid a second election a month later. With the politically untouchable, Nazi-inspired Golden Dawn party, whose leadership is in jail awaiting trial for running a criminal organization, and the Communist Party — which refuses to cooperate with anyone — out of the picture, possible partners include the new, centrist but untried Potami (River) party or the once-formidable PASOK Socialists. Friday's polls suggested Golden Dawn has made late gains and is challenging Potami for third place. A third option for Syriza could be governing with the populist right-wing Independent Greeks, who agree with Syriza on need to end the austerity but disagree on about everything else.

Pundits are chalking it up the greatly improved (and improving) American economy.

Over on the 'Pippin' thread there's a filmed version of the show. Is this something that happened (or still happens) often? Also...do you, personally, ever rate them or are these shows impossible to capture on film? (Just to be clear, I don't mean movies, such as, Chorus Line, that were based on a Broadway show).
At the beginning of the first scene of the play, Maggie is talking to Brick through a closed door while he's getting out of the shower. In this few minutes, he seems generally happy, he's talkative, he responds to her conversation attempts, and asks questions in return. He even seems to be joking around with her a bit. Then he steps into the bedroom. Instantly, he's sullen and quiet, and ignores her for the next five minutes. Nothing has been said that would specifically change his mood, but he does a complete 180 when he steps into the bedroom. Not sure if that's exactly how the movie is cut (with all its deleted text), but that's how the original play is written, and that's how it's presented on stage in the three productions I've seen. Is this just bad writing, or am I missing something that would cause his mood to turn, instantly?

Openly gay actor/screenwriter Wentworth Miller will join the CW's ever-expanding roster of gay and possibly-gay actors when he joins "The Flash" this fall. "The Flash" is an "Arrow" spinoff and stars Grant Gustin as the titular superhero from the DC comics universe. Wentworth will play a villain (of course). In other Wentworth news, he is interviewed in latest issue of Details magazine and has the following to say: [quote] DETAILS: Last year you also publicly came out as gay. Was a burden lifted? Wentworth Miller: I feel more fully expressed. After Prison Break, I came to grips with the fact that my public persona was in misalignment with how I actually felt. I was out to a handful of people in my twenties, and once I hit 30, I was out to family and friends. But professionally, I was feeding a fantasy. I created this air of "We don't address that thing." [quote] DETAILS: Do you ever regret lying in interviews by saying "I'm not gay"? Wentworth Miller: My face was on billboards, and I thought it was my job to act a certain way. But I think audiences knew to a certain degree.
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?

A new book reports that two days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that officially brought the United States into World War II, President Roosevelt was warned about such a possible attack in a memo from naval intelligence. U.S. News' Paul Bedard writes more about the story: In the newly revealed 20-page memo from FDR's declassified FBI file, the Office of Naval Intelligence on December 4 warned, "In anticipation of open conflict with this country, Japan is vigorously utilizing every available agency to secure military, naval and commercial information, paying particular attention to the West Coast, the Panama Canal and the Territory of Hawaii." The memo comes from Craig Shirley's new book, December 1941: 31 Days that Changed America and Saved the World, which also reports that the Japanese were building a network of spies through their U.S. embassies and consulates. However, Shirley doesn't blame FDR for failing to act on the memo; instead, he compares the Roosevelt administration's inaction to the executive branch's failure to act on pre-9/11 intelligence. In each instance, Shirley contends, the evidence suggests "that there were more pieces to the puzzle" that the White House missed in the days and weeks leading up to the attack. "So many mistakes through so many levels of Washington," said Shirley. "Some things never change." And in a bit of unusually related news, 45,000 residents will evacuate a town in Germany after the discovery of one of the largest unexploded bombs in history. Stars and Stripes reports the 4,000 pound bomb, with more than 3,000 pounds of attached explosives, was dropped on the town of Koblenz by the British Royal Air Force during the war. The bomb was discovered in the Rhine River, where water levels have dropped due to lack of rain. A 275-pound American bomb was also discovered nearby.

The accusation that Batman was a homo, as strange as it might sound to our own ears, was taken quite seriously by government and public alike. It wasn't leveled by a marginal nut or crank, but by a world-renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Frederic Wertham. Wertham was the Chief Psychiatrist for the New York Department of Hospitals and an important figure among the New York City liberal intelligentsia. His writings were respected enough to help form part of the legal strategy for Brown v. Board. In 1954, Wertham published a scathing indictment of comic books, The Seduction of the Innocent, which argued that comic books were an invidious influence on American youth, responsible for warped gender attitudes and all manner of delinquency. Wertham's accusations garnered the attention of Senator Estes Kefauver and his Senate Sub-committee on Juvenile Delinquency, where Wertham repeated many of his central claims. Batman and Robin, Wertham charged, inhabited "a wish dream of two homosexuals living together." They lived in "sumptuous quarters," unencumbered by wives and girlfriends, with only an aged butler for company. They cared for each other's injuries, frequently shared quarters, and lounged together in dressing gowns. Worse still, both exhibited damning psychological characteristics: proclivities for costumes, dressing up, and fantasy play; secretive behavior and double-lives; little interest in women; and, most damning of all, neurotic compulsions resulting in their violent vigilantism. Indeed, Wertham argued, depictions of Batman and Robin were frequently homoerotic, visually emphasizing Batman's rippling physique and Robins splayed, bare thighs. "Only someone ignorant of the fundamentals of psychiatry and psychopathology of sex can fail to realize the subtle atmosphere of homoeroticism which pervades the adventures," wrote Wertham. "The Batman type of story may stimulate children to homosexual fantasies." [Full article at link.]
I would hardly have recognised Jeremy from this 1998 film Very Bad Things, where he is chunky if not beefy with a terrific hairy chest and not quite so much on his head. A total contrast to his sleek Mr Selfridge, now in its third season here in the UK. I think I prefer the old Jeremy ... so deliciously bearish,before he got toned and slimmed and more head hair. Did he do a transformation like chubby Dan Stevens did to be so practically unrecognsable. Is Jeremy still gay too, as far as we know .... ?

Just broke up with a straight guy I'd been "dating" for a month. We went to movies, dinner, took him sailing, a Giants game, and went on long walks together on the beach at sunset and talked for hours. Call me old-fashioned, but I just don't kiss on the first, second, ... or fifth date. But I tried on the sixth. Didn't work out so well. His name is Greg-o-ree. How many straight guys with incredibly cute butts do you know who call themselves Greg-o-ree? Not "Greg," which is the proper, hetero version. Gregory is pissed that I tried to break up with him and isn't having any of it... "We were never even a couple" etc.. and won't stop texting me. Greg is coming over for dinner tomorrow. He says this isn't the first time this situation has happened. I just don't have the time to clean the hot tub or call him Greg-oree, but I can cook a mean lamb shank with couscous. We will likely watch the All-Stars game after dinner. But I'm not gonna try to hold his hand. Fuck me, please.

Meet the LGBT rights activists taking on the US south: 'Why run from your turf?' Moving ‘the cultural needle’ of deeply religious US region means convincing LGBT opponents that shared identity outweighs difference. It’s not always easy Timothy Pratt, Friday 30 January 2015 11.51 EST Starting in the seventh grade, Justin Kelly would pray every night that the feelings he had for other boys would “go away”. “I thought maybe it could be something that no one noticed,” he recalls. Growing up in a military family in Greenville, Mississippi, Kelly felt under pressure to deny who he really was. He hid his sexual identity through his years at Mississippi College, a Christian school whose student code of conduct prohibits premarital or extramarital sex and “homosexual activities, or other sexual expression that may conflict with the Christian identity or faith mission” of the school. In 2011, by then an army sergeant deployed in Iraq, Kelly learned his father had died after a short bout with brain cancer. He then decided that he was only going to live once, and that he had to start being who he was. Fast-forward four years, and Kelly has come out again. He is part of a 30-second ad – itself part of a larger campaign called All God’s Children – organized by the Human Rights Campaign. Its aim is to build stronger relationships between Mississippians and LGBT people in their communities through TV ads, online stories, direct mail and billboards. Kelly has been surprised by the mostly positive responses he has received for his participation in the campaign – including from colleagues at work. “I was afraid I would get fired,” he said. Family members in other parts of the country have sent him emails and texts applauding his courage. And although he doesn’t currently have a partner, he has also changed his mindset about public displays of affection. “Holding hands in public is important, because it exposes people to being gay,” he said. All God’s Children is part of a larger HRC program that includes the states of Arkansas and Alabama. It is one of several projects aimed at changing the social and cultural landscape of the south. The idea behind these efforts is to “move the cultural needle,” says Zeke Stokes, vice-president of programs at GLAAD, a LGBT media advocacy organization. The group has recently launched Southern Stories, an online campaign featuring LGBT southerners and their families and supporters. Stokes says that even while, legally and legislatively, the LGBT rights landscape has dramatically changed since he was a child 25 years ago in the small town of Bishopville, South Carolina, a cultural gap still exists. Although his birth state, as well as neighboring North Carolina, have become the first deep south states to legalize same-sex marriage, gender and sexual-orientation minorities are often not accepted or tolerated in day-to-day life, he says. With Southern Stories, Stokes hopes to change hearts and minds about what it means to be LGBT and to have an impact on workplace and housing protection legislation. The efforts have not been without pushback. Although Mississippi-based nonprofit organization the American Family Association would not comment, the group issued a press release in November about All God’s Children. Titled Human Rights Campaign Declares War on Christians, it included this comment by AFA president Tim Wildmon: “[We] will not be fooled by this campaign to normalize homosexuality in the southern states ... And we hope others won’t be fooled either.” Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council, said the campaigns “reflect a misconception about people’s opposition to homosexuality. It’s not about whether they’re good citizens, or good family members, or good neighbors – it’s ... whether the sexual relations they engage in are appropriate or not.” Also, he said, while the efforts may appeal to some people’s emotions, “I don’t think they will succeed with Biblically literate Christians.”

Has anyone read this series of books or heard interviews with the author? It's outright frightening. Basically out of the thousands of missing people each year, dozens go missing in state parks. You might think there are easy explanations for the disappearances but for many, there aren't. In fact, just the opposite. The disappearances seem a slap in the face of logic. Here is just a bit of what I learned. - Most of the missing are never recovered. Those that are recovered alive tend to be children who are too young to talk, children who are mentally disabled or handicapped and thus can't tell of their experiences, and children who have amnesia and have no memories of their experience. - Clothing and other items are found in the opposite direction from which the remains are found, in the few cases where the remains are found. It's like someone is purposefully trying to deceive people by leaving a trail of personal belongings far away from where the body actually is. -Clothing is often found in an extremely bizarre fashion, something which would occur if the person just vanished in the blink of the eye and the clothing just fell to the earth, talking about socks in shoes, pants on top of shoes, shirt on top of pants. -People have disappeared while only being feet away from another person or merely going out of sight for mere seconds. In one case a family was walking up a hill. A female family member was walking faster and made it up and over the hill just seconds before the family did. When the family made it over the hill they were shocked that the woman was nowhere in sight. She was never recovered and is presumed dead. In another case a man literally watched a boy disappear. The boy was accompanying him and decided to return to camp. There was a clear line of sight from their location all the way to camp. Halfway there the man turned his attention briefly to something he was working on, talking seconds, and the boy was just gone. -Many of the children who are recovered, and remember they usually are too young to talk or can't tell of what happened to them, are found naked and barefoot with no sign of injuries to the soles of their feet. If they had been walking around barefoot in the wilderness they surely would have cuts and sores on their feet. -In many cases Park authorities either try to hinder any researchers from having access to files on the disappearances or lie and claim that no such files exist. In other circumstances they want an absurd amount of money, even up to over a million dollars, before releasing the files. In at least one case the Park authorities and I think the police refused to release case files even though the disappearance was not ruled as a homicide. Even the intervention of a senator have not been successful in getting the files release. When the parents of the missing girl asked for the files they too were told no. Luckily, a few Park employees have acted as whistle blowers and tipped of the author of weird goings-on in state parks across the country. -One girl who was recovered after being missing for days had no memory of her experience only except that a wolf took care of her. The girl showed no signs of starvation or dehydration. If you are looking for something spooky, definitely look this guy up and hear his interviews and read the books if you can. Oh, and he has never said what is going on. He doesn't know.

George Zimmerman, the Florida man who was acquitted in 2013 of the shooting death of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin, was arrested in Florida late Friday night on charges of aggravated assault with a weapon. According to Seminole County booking documents, Zimmerman, 31, was arrested by the Lake Mary police and was booked at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility at 10:10 p.m. He is being held without bond and will appear in court at 9 a.m. Since his high-profile acquittal, Zimmerman has had three other encounters with the Lake Mary police. In September 2013, Zimmerman's estranged wife, Shellie Zimmerman, called 911 to tell police he had punched her father and was threatening her with a gun. She opted not to press charges. In the second incident, which occurred in November 2013, Zimmerman was arrested and accused of domestic violence by girlfriend Samantha Scheibe, who later said investigators had misinterpreted her statements and dropped charges. In September 2014, Zimmerman was involved in an incident of road rage.

What is the most important information I should know about TRUVADA? TRUVADA can cause serious side effects: Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis), which is a serious medical emergency. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include weakness or being more tired than usual, unusual muscle pain, being short of breath or fast breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach-area pain, cold or blue hands and feet, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, and/or fast or abnormal heartbeats. Serious liver problems. Your liver may become large and tender, and you may develop fat in your liver. Symptoms of liver problems include your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow, dark “tea-colored” urine, light-colored stools, loss of appetite for several days or longer, nausea, and/or stomach-area pain. You may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or serious liver problems if you are female, very overweight (obese), or have been taking TRUVADA for a long time. In some cases, these serious conditions have led to death. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of these conditions. Worsening of hepatitis B (HBV) infection. If you also have HBV and take TRUVADA, your hepatitis may become worse if you stop taking TRUVADA. Do not stop taking TRUVADA without first talking to your healthcare provider. If your healthcare provider tells you to stop taking TRUVADA, they will need to watch you closely for several months to monitor your health. TRUVADA is not approved for the treatment of HBV. If your healthcare provider has prescribed TRUVADA to help reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 infection, you should also know: You must be HIV-negative before you start taking TRUVADA to reduce the risk of getting HIV-1. You must get tested to make sure that you do not already have HIV-1 infection. Do not take TRUVADA to reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 unless you are confirmed to be HIV-negative. Many HIV-1 tests can miss HIV-1 infection in a person who has recently become infected. If you have flu-like symptoms, you could have recently become infected with HIV-1. Tell your healthcare provider if you had a flu-like illness within the last month before starting TRUVADA or at any time while taking TRUVADA. Symptoms of new HIV-1 infection include tiredness, fever, joint or muscle aches, headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, night sweats, and/or enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or groin. Just taking TRUVADA may not keep you from getting HIV-1. You must continue using safer sex practices while you are taking TRUVADA to reduce your risk of getting HIV-1. To further reduce your risk of getting HIV-1: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections. Other infections make it easier for HIV-1 to infect you. Get information and support to help reduce risky sexual behavior. Have fewer sex partners. Do not miss any doses of TRUVADA. Missing doses may increase your risk of getting HIV-1 infection. You must stay HIV-negative to keep taking TRUVADA to reduce your risk of getting HIV-1: Know your HIV-1 status and the HIV-1 status of your partners. Get tested for HIV-1 at least every 3 months or when your healthcare provider tells you. If you think you were exposed to HIV-1, tell your healthcare provider right away. If you do become HIV-1 positive, you need more medicine than TRUVADA alone to treat HIV-1. TRUVADA itself is not a complete treatment for HIV-1. If you have HIV-1 and take only TRUVADA, your HIV-1 may become harder to treat.

This is good for a laugh! I got this list from, I kid you not, "www.IsMySpouseGay.com". It says it is a "survival guide for straight couples". LOL!!! 1. Suspicious non-verbal communication with other men -- a look, a touch or hug that lasts a little too long or seems to be intimate. 2. Possession of homosexual pornography (videos, magazines, photos stored on his computer). If your husband has consistently viewed homosexual pornography, on the computer (check the history in your internet browser!) remember that he probably would not be doing this if he did not enjoy it. It is simply too risky an activity to merely "check out". 3. Your husband's inability to be sexually aroused by you. If sexual activity steeply declines within the first few years of marriage, or if you're always more sexually aggressive than your husband, don't think it is all your fault! 4. An abundance of male friends with whom he seems to be too close or too familiar. Watch out if your husband spends too much alone time with one man or a small group of men. This is a sign that perhaps your husband is gay. At the very least, you can suspect that he is involved with his male friend(s) with a level of intimacy that he should be saved for you. Trust your instincts if he spends a great deal of time with one man or a few without inviting you to the party. If you really feel as though something strange is going on, there is probably a reason. 5. Lots of phone calls from other men. If they are men you don't know or men that your husband does not willingly tell you about (such as an old friend from high school who happened to get in touch with him), be concerned. 6. Buying or receiving expensive, intimate, or overly personal gifts from other men. 7. A consistent overreaction to anything concerning gay men -- extreme homophobic behavior. If your husband turns almost militantly angry when confronted by someone who is gay, it may indicate that your husband is gay. This doesn't make sense at first, but take a minute and think about it... People often lash out at those who embody traits they do not like about themselves. They are in fact empathizing with that person, but it doesn't come across that way. 8. A strong preference for non-typical sex. 9. Unusually high percentage of male friends who are gay. Watch out if your husband's new best friend is gay! 10. Male friends who are overly friendly. 11. A tendency for your husband to brag about gay men complimenting him on his looks.
Quinn Jaxon's new thread, since the last one got closed...
We bought a double-headed dildo and go ass-to-ass. Then we get into a scissoring position and rub our taints together until we cum. It's totally hot. Surely we're not the only gay men to have discovered this?!
It's bad enough everyone's teeth on tv are so white now that they're practically lilac, but recently teeth have become gigantic. And all the same size. It used to be the front teeth were the longest teeth; the canines were pointed and the other teeth were smaller. Now everybody's blindingly white teeth are the same size throughout the head. They look like the fakest dentures ever made. What is with that? Dentists used to try to make dentures look like real teeth. Now these giant fantasy teeth have taken over and they are so big they are popping out of people's mouths. Why are fake-looking teeth so popular? Is it a way of showing how much disposable income one has? "I have do much money, I can replace all of my normal looking teeth with giant fake teeth."

It looks like LGBT activist Dan Savage is making his next move. The "It Gets Better" founder is slated to be the focus of a semi-autobiographical, single-camera comedy on ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The show, still untitled, will follow the younger years of Savage's life and the experiences of his family following his decision to come out of the closet. "What seems like the end of their idyllic life turns out to be the beginning of a bright new chapter when everyone stops pretending to be perfect and actually starts being real," The Hollywood Reporter notes. According to Entertainment Weekly, "David Windsor and Casey Johnson will write and executive-produce with Savage, Brian Pines and Dan McDermott."

Jan 30, 2015 For Mitt Romney, it appears that the third time is not the charm. On a conference call with supporters on Friday, Romney said he was taking a pass on another White House bid. “After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee,” Romney said. Romney did not endorse any of the numerous potential Republican candidates who have expressed interest in running for president. “I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well-known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country, one who is just getting started, may well emerge as being better able to defeat the Democrat[ic] nominee," Romney said. "In fact, I expect and hope that to be the case.” Romney has been flirting with another White House run in recent weeks, and looked like he was edging closer to a bid -- until today. "I’ve been asked, and will certainly be asked again, if there are any circumstances whatsoever that might develop that could change my mind. That seems unlikely," Romney said. "Accordingly, I’m not organizing a PAC or taking donations; I’m not hiring a campaign team." He then essentially released his donors, telling them they were free to support other candidates. Just Thursday, Team Romney suffered a high-profile defection that agitated members of Romney’s inner circle when former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is seriously considering a 2016 run, announced he was signing up David Kochel to oversee his exploratory efforts and ultimately run his campaign. Kochel is one of the best Republican operatives in the business, based in Iowa, but involved in races across the country. He was a core part of Romney’s 2008 and 2012 teams, but he is also close to Mike Murphy and others in the Bushes' orbit. Matt Rhoades, Romney's 2012 campaign manager, told ABC News: "Mitt Romney is a good man who always does the right thing for his party and our country. Working for him is an experience I will always cherish. I look forward to seeing what new big challenge he tackles next." Though the former Republican presidential nominee's message on the call was clear, he also sounded notes of confidence, asserting that he was “convinced we can win the nomination” and would have enough funding to do so. But he acknowledged, it would be a “difficult task.” He even said he would have the “best chance” to beat the Democratic nominee, specifically citing the new focus on poverty that he has been talking about in recent speaking appearances. Nevertheless, Romney told supporters he did not want to make it "more difficult for someone else to emerge who may have a better chance of becoming that president." He added, "You can’t imagine how hard it is for Ann and me to step aside, especially knowing of your support and the support of so many people across the country." Romney ended the call without taking questions. Romney and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, another potential 2016 contender, will dine together this evening, a source familiar with the plans told ABC News. This news, which was first reported by The New York Times, comes after the recent meeting between Jeb Bush and Romney last week. Bush was among the first probable Republican White House hopefuls to weigh in on Romney's announcement. "Though I’m sure today’s decision was not easy, I know that Mitt Romney will never stop advocating for renewing America’s promise through upward mobility, encouraging free enterprise and strengthening our national defense," Bush said in a statement. "Mitt is a patriot and I join many in hoping his days of serving our nation and our party are not over." Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said of Romney: "He certainly earned the right to consider running, so I deeply respect his decision to give the next generation a chance to lead." Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., noted: "I hope to work together with him to grow our party and lead our country forward."
Us Weekly – 52 minutes ago No longer wanting to be Mrs. McDreamy! Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian Fink have called it quits on their 15-year marriage, a rep for the couple confirms to Us Weekly. "It is with careful consideration and mutual respect that we have decided to end our marriage," the couple said in a joint statement to Us. "Our primary concern remains the wellbeing of our children, and we ask with profound gratitude that you respect our family's privacy at this very sensitive time." According to TMZ, Fink was first to file for divorce from the Grey’s Anatomy actor. According to the site, Fink filed citing irreconcilable differences and is seeking joint custody of their daughter Tallulah Fyfe, 12, and their 7-year-old twins Sullivan Patrick and Darby Galen. Fink also reportedly wants spousal and child support. The couple, who wed in 1999, reportedly do not have a prenup and Dempsey is estimated to be worth $40 million. Dempsey was previously married to Rocky Parker from 1987 to 1994.

I read the book Raven, about Jim Jones and The People's Temple, after reading about it on a DL thread. Fascinating and, naturally, very disturbing. Now I've bought Jesus Freaks, a book about The Children of God. Have you had any direct involvement with a cult? Or did any of your family or friends? How did they approach you? How did you break free?
Listen to the unhinged redneck on the video. I'm in Houston and luckily the crowd was small so they are a minority.

Oh, and if he kept his relationships with the brothers on a bit more professional level. I might fall in love, for a couple of months for sure.

I'm not there this year, but I'm guessing at least a couple DLers are there, since, you know, there was a thread on The D Train. So, based on what you've seen so far, what should we be looking forward to? Early reviews are raving about Me & Earl & the Dying Girl, which was believed to have been bought by Fox Searchlight for a record-breaking $12 million, though the actual number is considerably lower. Other ones that seem to have piqued critical interest include The Witch, The End of the Tour, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, and The Overnight. Has anybody seen any of these? Were they actually good? I'm sort of skeptical about Me & Earl & the Dying Girl, because it sounds so much like that crappy Fault in Our Stars film. But the reviews are pretty ecstatic and say that it's largely humorous, so I'm tempted. Anyway, here's a link to a list of the films that have been bought so far.

Anyone familiar about this case? The guy was gay. They just made a film about this. Politicians are now involved in trying to find him. From Wiki: Aeryn Gillern was born on April 28, 1973 at Elmira, New York, the son of Kathryn Gilleran (born 1952). In June 1991 he graduated from Groton High School in Groton, New York. In 1997 Gillern graduated the Franciscan University of Steubenville (Ohio) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology. From 1997 to 1998 Gillern attended the seminary at Graz-Seckau (Austria). In 1999, Gillern received a Master of Arts with honors in Theology and Christian Ministry from Franciscan University of Steubenville. In 2003 he was appointed by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in Vienna (Austria) committed as a research assistant. In September 2007 he flew home to his mother, Kathryn Gilleran in Cortland, New York, to visit his family for ten days. His mother was planning to sell their house and move to Vienna to study with her son. On October 27, 2007 Kathy phoned her son and talked to him for the last time. He disappeared two days later.

Did that show ever get any good? Am I the only one watching it? So far it's just a bunch of indistinguishable brunettes. Not a lot of plot either and the mob boss or whatever he is is played by one the most annoying actors ever.

The former Hollywood home of Marlon Brando is on sale for a whopping £2.3million ($3.5million). It might not be On The Waterfront, but to buy this it you'll have to make an offer the agents can't refuse. The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris actor's stunning home has panoramic views over Sunset Strip and Los Angeles. Built in 1926, the Spanish-Mediterranean three-bed was revived by AF Leicht - once dubbed 'LA's quirkiest dead architect'. The dramatic, winding staircase and the wrought iron balcony give the house a massive dose of Old Hollywood glamour. The 4,363-square-foot house boasts three and a half bathrooms, flying buttresses and a red-tiled roof. Unsurprisingly for an A-list pad, there's a castle-like art studio perched above the master bedroom, which completes the upstairs. The magical Maison Marlon comes complete with a wine cellar with pebble floor, two-car garage and chauffeur's quarters. link is to Daily Mail, only because they have the best pictures

Is it basically just not being an integral part of the so-called gay "community"? Is it having few or no gay or lesbian friends? Is it just not having much interest in the generally same things the gay community is noted for? And what if you went for years being very much a part of said community but have found yourself not particularly needing it, wanting it anymore?

Ok, so I'm relatively new to gay life and one thing I have found to be curious (well, "one" of the things) is this: Many gay men are not readily identifiable in style or demeanor...seems there are all types. But why is it so different for lesbians. I would say that probably 95% of lesbians that I've met or seen around all look the same: the short kind of style-less haircuts, masculine or "sporty" clothes, no make-up, little if any adornments (except sometimes little earrings, which I think look rather ridiculous considering all the rest.) I have a neighbor who is a lesbian and we have become friendly. She is very stylish and pretty "glam", but also frustrated and unhappy. She does not like butchy types at all, yet that is mostly what she encounters when she is out and about. Are lesbians in general so dull and non-inventive that they all feel they have to look alike? Is it just a way to recognize each other? My neighbor says she likes women who look and act like women, that's why she's a lesbian in the first place. Nothing wrong with stereotypes,I guess, but I personally like defying stereotypes. Just curious.
It''s my favorite kind. I have a boyfriend, I''ve never had sex with a woman, but nothing turns me on more than two guys and a girl going at it. Kissing, pussy licking, woof. I think I''m.... unusual?
So I've been going to the same barber for quite a while now, I really like him. He does a great job and we always have had a good conversation while I am there. I thought he knew I was gay, but thinking about it now I can't remember that it has ever come up. So he probably doesn't. Today a twinky little Indian guy came in to get a haircut with the barber the next chair over. When he left my barber repeated a couple of the sentences the twink had said putting on a ridiculous gay accent. Granted, this kid did have gay voice but the two of them were just openly laughing about it while I was sitting there getting my haircut. Like a bitch, I didn't speak up or say anything. Now I don't know what to do. I don't really want to change barbers.

What a hot young thing, all wet and full frontal. I've thought of him often.
WHET him? He cheered in high school.
That is all.
A lot of DL people think he was too "girly"? But there are so many hot videos that are instant hardons . . .
His best-known songs, some written with the Belgian composer Jacques Brel, include "Birthday Boy," ''A Man Alone," ''If You Go Away" and "Seasons In the Sun," a chart-topper in 1974 for Terry Jacks. He was nominated for Oscars for "Jean" from "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and for "A Boy Named Charlie Brown," the title track from the beloved Peanuts movie. RIP

Micke Ekvall finished the race in 21st place. In a post-race interview, a reporter asked him, "Did you ever consider stopping to clean off?" "No, I'd lose time," he explained, "If you quit once, it's easy to do it again and again and again. It becomes a habit." "Despite the enormous problems with stomach cramps that lasted between two and 12 kilometers, Micke completed his goal," Swedish site Jesper.nu reported, "He did fine with [a time of] 1:09:43 and came in a creditable 21st. This is despite the misery! Imagine what he could accomplish without a bad stomach." The poop man, now 25 years old, has accomplished quite a bit since then. He ran the same race the following year, placing 9th. He went on to set a Swedish national record at the Copenhagen half-marathon in 2014, and represented Sweden at the European Athletic Championships. Ekvall's story is truly an inspirational one: Never quit. If you can live down running around in public with your own feces streaming off your bare legs, you can live down practically anything. Either that or never, ever, leave the house, because anything you do could go horribly wrong and everyone is looking at you. Whatever. It's up to each of us to receive the poop man's wisdom in our own way.

People thought I was either having a seizure or a stroke. Instead it was dystonia, which was brought on by a medication I took. If you don't know what dystonia is: [quote]Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder, in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The movements may resemble a tremor. Dystonia is often initiated or worsened by voluntary movements, and symptoms may “overflow” into adjacent muscles. I was found on my bed acting like a possessed 12-year-old Linda Blair. It got to the point where I couldn't control my jaw, and I could no longer swallow. My head kept rocking side to side into the mattress. My body looked like a craftmatic bed. My legs and my head were almost hitting one another. I'm all bruised from my arm constantly bashing itself into the wooden footboard. I loved being strapped down when they took me out to drive me to the hospital. I had been having problems before with falling due to dizziness. That should have been a sign, I guess. Has anyone dealt with dystonia, or know someone who has? Mine was from medication, but others have it chronically.

The bigger the cast, the higher the tension! The Real Housewives of Orange County will return later this year with all of its current cast intact, plus two more additions, a source close to the cast confirms to Us Weekly. The new women, Meghan King Edmonds and Katie Chadwick Hamilton, are not only residents of the plush West Coast community, but they also happen to be married to pro athletes. Edmonds is the wife of former MLB player and current Fox Sports announcer Jim Edmonds. Other newcomer Hamilton, meanwhile, is the wife of MLB player Josh Hamilton. PHOTOS: Remember these former Housewives? They will join regulars Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge (nee Barney), Heather DuBrow, as well as season 9 newbies Elizabeth "Lizzie" Rovsek and Shannon Beador. Gunvalson has impressively been with the RHOC -- the very first installment of the entire Housewives franchise -- since season one. While the rookies are likely to bring fresh drama to the mix, a memorable former housewife from the franchise will also make her return as a "friend" in season 10. Original RHOC Jeana Keough, who made quite the splash in the first five seasons of the series back in 2006 to 2011, teased her role reprisal via Twitter last week.

Hoping there's a housing/tax/etc expert here. My father is terminally ill, and upon his passing, I will most likely take over the house since my mother can not afford it on her own. The mortgage and title are in their name only. How would ownership of the house be transferred to me and my partner without having to pay gift taxes, etc? They owe about 250k on the house, and we would most likely take out another 100k for improvements, if any of that is relevant. Thanks

Eleven years into the 21st century, a new poll indicates there are a lot of Mississippi Republicans still living in the past. A survey conducted last month shows 46% of GOP voters in the state believe interracial marriage should be illegal - a plurality of the people questioned. Forty percent felt mixed-race weddings should remain legal, while 14% said they were not sure in the survey conducted by Public Policy Polling of Raleigh, N.C. The poll, conducted between March 24 and 27, showed 76% of the respondents considered themselves somewhat or very conservative. And it reflected the views of older Mississippi residents: 68% of the respondents were age 46 or older. The polls had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9%. Interracial marriage in Mississippi became legal in 1967 after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling forced the state to change its laws.

When I woke up this morning I realized I'd done something that wasn't a dream. I'm on Ambien and last night after I took a pill I signed up for one of those sites where you can check to see if someone has a criminal record. I can't believe in my Ambien induced state I was able to type a credit card # onto my iPad (something I have trouble doing normally) and looked up about five friends. They're all clean as a whistle. I feel horrible that I did it, but I'm blaming the drugs.

Was reading a little about him. Apparently he always clashed with producer Sherwood Schwartz on the quality of the scripts. He refused to appear in two episodes because of the especially low quality of the scripts--the one where Alice quits and gets a job a the diner, and the final episode where Greg's hair turns red after he uses Bobby's hair tonic. What was he expecting...Shakespeare? Seriously, just suck it up, do your job, and collect that big fat check. He supposedly loved the kids like his own, but Florence Henderson resented his constact bashing of the writing.

From President Obama's speech today, see below. This is why it's important to vote Democratic in the November election. We need more representatives who will fight for the working man and woman, to keep these gains from being reversed and to move forward with more gains. When President Obama was elected, businesses where laying off 800,000 people a month; today, they are hiring 200,000 people a month. The unemployment rate has dropped from 10.9% in 2009 to 6.1% today. Over the last 4.5 years, businesses have created 10 million new jobs. This is the longest uninterrupted stretch of job creation in our nation's history. There are more job openings now than anytime since 2001. During the Obama Administration, the US has put more people back to work than in Europe, Japan, and every other advanced economy COMBINED. Of course, there are people who are still struggling, that is why we need to vote Democratic in all offices this November, to elect people who will fight for the working man and woman. We can't afford to have these gains reversed.
Turns out the beloved sitcom treated fat people as punch lines and kind of had a homophobia problem “Friends” hit Netflix for the first time in 2015, and while it’s certainly not the first time people have had the opportunity to rewatch the show since it went off the air in 2004, it has provided a handy excuse for people to ruminate belatedly on the show’s impact — and for crazy super-fans to binge-watch all 10 seasons, obviously — and perhaps learn something new about the gang in the process. And they did! Some revelations were goofy, some light, and others pretty damning. Here’s what the Internet dug up about our favorite sitcom when viewed in the cold harsh light of 2015: Chandler is the worst, and he’s also pretty homophobic. As Ruth Graham wrote in Slate: “Chandler’s treatment of his gay father, a Vegas drag queen played by Kathleen Turner, is especially appalling, and it’s not clear the show knows it. It’s one thing for Chandler to recall being embarrassed as a kid, but he is actively resentful and mocking of his loving, involved father right up until his own wedding (to which his father is initially not invited!)… his continuing discomfort now reads as jarringly out of place for a supposedly hip New York thirtysomething — let alone a supposedly good person, period…. When it comes to women, Chandler turns out to be just as retrograde as Joey, but his lust comes with an undercurrent of the kind of bitter desperation that I now recognize as not only gross, but potentially menacing.” Although, this, of course, is not the first time the show’s homophobia has been addressed: Refinery29, meanwhile, delved into the issues with the show’s use of “Fat Monica” as a punchline. “In the show’s storyline, Monica loses weight in college after overhearing Chandler make fun of her size. Shamed into thinness, Fat Monica becomes just Monica — desirable and (finally) human. Monica is many things: funny, uptight, loving, competitive. Fat Monica is just fat… and always hungry. I was grateful for Fat Monica as a kid. She was proof I could overcome my disgusting plumpness and be seen as lovable, too. True, I would always bear the shame of my inflated past, just like Monica did, but I was willing to live with that if it meant I’d be a person instead of a punchline.”

Let's ignore the fact that now real estate agents include garage square footage as part the house square footage to make the house seem bigger than it really is. I'm annoyed with people--like my brother and sisters--who have garages but use them for storage. My brother turned his two door garage into a "games room". My older sister uses hers to store off season stuff; winter stuff in the summer, summer stuff in the winter. My younger sister uses hers to store every fucking article of clothing she's ever bought for herself and her family. She has leg warmers she wore in the mid-eighties packed away. I would give my left nut to have a place with a garage just so I don't have to clean snow and ice off my car.
Billy Crystal brought up a point the other day. The Botox’d and beloved comedian blanched that gay sex scenes on TV sometimes push it “a little too far” for his tastes. While some were quick to scream homophobe, one should understand that the man’s been schticking it up on the boob tube for literally 800 years and the TV times they are a-changin’ — from Lucy and Desi sleeping in separate twin beds to Patrick sweatily topping Kevin on Looking. Whereas straights have been pushing the boundaries of good taste for years, the gays are finally starting to catch up with shows like the aforementioned Looking, How to Get Away with Murder and Empire. (Gay sex is getting very realistic.) We’re out of the closet and screwing on the kitchen table! Here’s a celebration of some sex scenes that would make Billy Crystal — or anyone uncomfortable with two men going at it — clutch his pearls....

Before today I had never seen a Taylor Swift video. Last night I was listening to back episodes of How Was Your Week and Julie Klausner mentioned that she had just heard Shake it Off for the first time and proceeded down a very funny TS rant. Today I was bored at work so I looked up the video for Shake it Off. Some of the dancers are sexy, to be sure, but the real takeaway is that TS looks like she has no soul. There's nothing going on inside her--either mentally or emotionally. Taylor Swift has dead eyes.

You probably haven't spent too much time thinking about Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage lately, but a new documentary is going to change that. Going Clear, Alex Gibney's exposé on the Church of Scientology, makes some shocking claims about Cruise, one of the church's most famous (and infamous) members. The film suggests that the Church of Scientology intimidated Cruise into breaking up with Kidman because they were suspicious of her father, a prominent psychologist. In fact, her dad's position put Kidman on the "Potential Trouble Source" list, which the church says is for people "who are in some way connected to and being adversely affected by a suppressive person." Going Clear also claims that between 1992 and 2001, Kidman pressured Cruise into distancing himself from the Church of Scientology. When Cruise went MIA from the organization, his silence allegedly made Church head David Miscavige so angry that he tasked second-in-command Marty Rathbun with "facilitating the breakup between Tom and Nicole," Rathbun says in the film. According to Rathbun, the church started a task force to get Cruise to dump Kidman, which included wiretapping her phone—Cruise's suggestion—and sending the tapes to Miscavige. The Church also "audited" Cruise by gathering every bit of personal intel they could dig up. This information was purportedly given to Miscavige, who later shamed Cruise for his "perverted" sexual fetishes. And what's worse than having "perverted" sexual fetishes (whatever that means in this context), the Church attempted to turn Cruise and Kidman's adopted children—Connor and Isabella—against their mother so Cruise could take custody. In 2001, Miscavige got his wish. The couple divorced and Cruise, who became more active in the Church, went on to receive their Freedom Medal of Valor, which is given to a person who "brings greater freedom to mankind." Going Clear also suggests that the Church of Scientology goes out of its way to please Cruise by buying him limos, airplanes, and once, they even created a meadow for Cruise and Kidman to frolic in, which was apparently one of Cruise's greatest fantasies. This is all particularly interesting in light of the rumors that cropped up during Katie Holmes's divorce from Cruise in 2012, which also claimed that Scientology got in the way. Add these to the Maybe Don't Date a Scientologist file...

Any guesses? _________________________ The nightmare continues for the bad boy of the royal family as rumors swirl that his nude photo scandal could just be the tip of the iceberg. A source told the Las Vegas Review Journal that the strip billiards game is mild in comparison to other shenanigans that allegedly took place during Prince Harry’s stay in Sin City. Whatever it is, hotel developer Steve Wynn – who owns the Encore Wynn Resort where Harry stayed – is reportedly unhappy about the major security breach, which stunned the world and embarrassed the royal family. According to the Daily Mail the billionaire paid for the third in line to the British throne and his pals to stay at his luxury resort. Although he is taking a break in St Tropez, Wynn is apparently reviewing security at his complex, which is a popular hangout for high profile celebrities. Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte also partied at the Encore Beach Club and the Wynn nightspot XS during the royal’s stay. As RadarOnline.com previously reported Prince Harry has now returned to the UK where the fallout from his public indiscretions continues. According to reports the cheeky royal has been dumped by his girlfriend Cressida Bonas who told friends she was left “humiliated” by the photos showing her man cavorting naked with other women.
Prince Harry Vegas Scandal Could Get Far Worse, Report Claims 'Something Pretty Gigantic' Involved
01.25.15 Scientology Doc ‘Going Clear’ Claims the Church Split Up Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Alex Gibney’s highly anticipated documentary Going Clear, which premiered at Sundance, makes some shocking claims about Scientology A-lister Tom Cruise. Alex Gibney’s Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief is arguably the most hotly anticipated film premiering at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. HBO Documentary Films, which is releasing the eye-opening documentary on the Church of Scientology later this year, hired a team of 160 lawyers to look over the movie, and the church, despite not having seen it, took out a recent ad in The New York Times accusing Gibney’s film of being “a Rolling Stone/UVA redux.” I just attended the first screening of Going Clear, which is based on the book of the same name by Lawrence Wright, and can report that it is a scathing exposé on Scientology and makes some startling accusations about its most famous member, Tom Cruise. The film alleges that the Church of Scientology used a number of intimidation tactics to force Cruise to split from Nicole Kidman. According to the testimony of Marty Rathbun, formerly the second-highest ranking official in the Church of Scientology who left in 2004, Scientology head David Miscavige was suspicious of Cruise’s second wife, whose father was a renowned psychologist in his native Australia. Scientology is vehemently opposed to psychiatry and psychology, and Rathbun claims that because of Kidman’s father, she was labeled a “Potential Trouble Source” (PTS), defined by the Church of Scientology as “a person who is in some way connected to and being adversely affected by a suppressive person.” Gibney’s film claims that Kidman, who was raised Catholic, convinced Cruise to distance himself from the Church of Scientology between 1992 and 2001, and that during the filming of Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, Cruise wasn’t returning Miscavige’s phone calls, though Miscavige was one of Cruise’s best pals and served as best man in his wedding to Kidman. Cruise’s silence allegedly infuriated Miscavige, who then assigned Rathbun to the A-list couple. “I was to facilitate the breakup with Nicole Kidman,” Rathbun says in the film. Rathbun alleges in the film that the Church of Scientology then waged an aggressive campaign to get Cruise to dump Kidman, including having a private investigator wiretap her phone—at Cruise’s apparent suggestion, according to Rathbun—and sending the tapes to Miscavige. The Church of Scientology also began “auditing” Cruise around the clock, according to the film, aggressively psychoanalyzing him and gathering personal information. The information was then allegedly sent to Miscavige, whom Rathbun claims blasted Cruise for his “perverted” sexual fetishes. Furthermore, Rathbun says the Church of Scientology “re-educated” Cruise’s adopted children with Kidman, Connor and Isabella, into turning against their mother so that Cruise could retain custody. Cruise divorced Kidman in 2001 and following the split became more active in the Church of Scientology, receiving the church’s Freedom Medal of Valor in 2004 and becoming Scientology’s de facto Hollywood spokesman. Going Clear also claims that the Church of Scientology takes great pains to accommodate Cruise, including installing all the audiovisual equipment in his home, purchasing him limousines and airplanes, and once even having its members design a meadow for Cruise and Kidman to run through—an alleged fantasy of Cruise’s. Cruise and Kidman, the film notes in a card before the film’s final credits, both refused to be interviewed for Gibney’s movie.

My next door neighbor is a fussy old queen who is a total busy body. He's really annoying and I've reached the end of my rope with him. Today he decided to take my recycling can off the street and stick it in my driveway I'm assuming because the city was supposed to pick it up on Wednesday. Only problem was they skipped me and 4 neighbors north of me. I called the city yesterday and the were going to send a truck out today to get the houses they missed and of course they came by after he moved it. The can is full and I've been cleaning out my garage and already have enough stuff to fill it up 3 more times. He's always sticking his nose into things that shouldn't concern him. Trying to think of some ways to fuck with him to teach him to mind his own damn business. Talking to him is a waste of time. I've tried to tell him to stay away from me, but he doesn't listen. Any good ideas on how to mess with somebody who won't mind their own business?

Dementia brings out what we really think. "Even Gwyneth Paltrow’s mom doesn’t fully understand the star’s much-maligned “conscious uncoupling” from rocker Chris Martin. We spotted Blythe Danner at a VIP dinner for her Sundance film, “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” this week and asked how Paltrow was doing. “Wonderful,” she said, adding, “People make fun of this, um, what do they call it? What is that thing that they’ve been doing? Separating, but being?” “Conscious uncoupling,” we reminded her, of the peculiar phrase that inspired endless think pieces and tweets since Paltrow announced the politically correct breakup in March. “Yes,” Danner said, “but it’s called ‘conscious’ . . . not ‘conscious uncoupling.’ Conscious …” We assured her we were regrettably, but intimately, familiar with the phrase that was, as one national outlet put it, “mocked round the world.” She gave up trying to recall the exact term and summed up the uncoupled couple: “They are so smart … both incredibly brilliant. They’re making it work, they’re great friends and the kids are in wonderful shape. So I have to take my hat off to both of them.” Danner had just managed to catch the last flight out of Newark before the “blizzard.” “I was supposed to be inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame [Monday night] and that was canceled, thank God, so that allowed me to be here for this.”

UPDATED Emma Paulsen, B.C. dog walker, gets jail time for animal cruelty After 6 dogs died of heat stroke in her car, Paulsen lied and said they'd been stolen Emma Paulsen, the B.C. dog walker who pleaded guilty to animal cruelty in the deaths of six dogs in her care, has been sentenced to six months in jail. She can also not own an animal for 10 years, and has a lifetime ban on caring for one in a paid capacity. B.C. dog walker pleads guilty to animal cruelty PHOTOS of 6 dogs The audience in the gallery of the Surrey provincial court broke out in applause after Judge Jim Jardine handed down the sentence on Wednesday morning. During the trial, some of the owners of the dogs that died cried while the judge described how Paulsen initially lied to them, police and the public. The judge said their victim impact statements were difficult to read. They told how they missed their pets horribly and felt guilty for hiring Paulsen. When the dogs went missing in May 2014, Paulsen reported they had been stolen from the back of her pickup truck. Police later learned the animals died from heat stroke while shut inside Paulsen's truck. Paulsen told the court she had nothing to say before her sentence was delivered. "Paulsen did not intend to harm the dogs," the judge said when he was giving the reasons for her sentence. "[But] she was trying to cover up her wrong-doing."

Fan reaction has been mixed, with some embracing the update and others missing the traditional look (and visible strings, apparently) of the original. Produced by ITV Studios and Pukeko Pictures with CGI produced by Weta Workshop, who did the effects for Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit and Avatar, the 26-part series commissioned for ITV is due to air this year.

For me, the old Uncle Charlies on Greenwich holds a special place in my heart. It was the first bar I'd ever set foot in back in '92 when I started grad school at NYU. I was pretty much closeted and had never even kissed a guy, but I remember the exhilirating sense of freedom and liberation (I know...MARY!) that I felt for the first time. Addicted to that feeling, I probably went there more than I should have, but it was such an amazing experience. It's where I met the guy with whom I had my first kiss, first date and first same sex encounter. It seems so long ago, but the memories are still vivid. And it was a time before big muscles and shaving every inch of the body were in vogue. Yes, I sound old. I also remember a place called Pieces that I went to a few times. Not sure that's still around. Anyone else care to share their memories?
