".... UKHSA added that all four of the most recent cases are men who identify as gay or bisexual.

The health body is therefore asking these groups “to be alert” to possible symptoms, which include rashes or lesions on any part of their body, especially their genitalia, and to contact a sexual health service if they have concerns."

Since my Silence of the Lambs thread started talking about Se7en, I thought I would create my own thread dedicated to the thriller.

David Fincher's masterpiece Se7en took audiences by storm in 1995.

Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Kevin Spacey give great performances. Gwyneth Paltrow, R. Lee Emery, Richard Roundtree, John C. McGinley, and Richard Schiff also turn in great supporting performances.

Time for a new thread.

He was suppose to SWEEP all the movie awards on the awards show circuit

Instead after winning the Golden Globe (which was NOT televised) he has suffered humiliating losses all season long

From the SAG to the BAFTA to Critics Choice

So the question is - what went wrong? He is suppose to be the next best thing Hollywood is going to make happen,

I don’t think it would have occurred to me to dig an eight-feet deep hole in the sand.

Jennifer Lopez put on a brave face after failing to nab a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 2020 Oscars.

But the superstar was secretly devastated by the snub after wowing critics with her role as a scheming stripper in “Hustlers.”

The full extent of Lopez’s sorrow is revealed for the first time in the Netflix documentary “Halftime,” set for release next month.

In a new trailer for the doc that dropped Wednesday, the actress is seen sobbing in bed after being overlooked for the honor by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

“It was hard. I just had a very low self-esteem,” Lopez lamented in a voiceover.

“I had to really figure out who I was and believe in that and not believe in anything else,” she forlornly added.

Lopez has long struggled with self-doubt about her career, telling The Post in 2018: “Everybody was like, ‘She can’t sing. She can’t dance. She can’t act. She’s just a pretty face or her butt is big,’ or whatever they were saying about me. I started thinking, ‘Yeah, that’s true,’ and it really hurt me for a long time.

“Despite the hurt and the pain, I just kept going. I just couldn’t allow myself to let that become who I was,” she added.

Continuing the festivities here. Link to previous thread below.

When will people realize that Julia Roberts is a one-note non-actress? She is incapable of nuance. Her latest series with Sean Penn about Watergate is getting slated by critics. Can't she just retire already?

For 50 years!!!

So, I recently discovered that Robert Rusler, who co-starred with Mark Patton in A Nightmare On Elm Street 2, is apparently bisexual. If you look at his Facebook profile, he says he’s interested in men and women. To be honest, I was surprised, as I did not get any gay vibe from him. Plus, he is married with four children.

But it’s interesting to learn that Mark Patton wasn’t the only queer actor in NOES 2.

And seeing how Robert Downey Jr used to be openly bi, is it too much of a stretch to think he and Robert Rusler hooked up while filming Weird Science together?

That’s one sexy 72 year old man.

I’m watching Scream on Pluto TV and am reminded of just how fine Skeet Ulrich was then and still is now.

Dude. This is getting bad. The rents are becoming outrageous. These prices are nuts.

A 71 YO man I see once a week who always stops to chat with me was telling me the building he has lived in with his wife for over 30 years is trying to push them out. They can’t raise their rents to what they’re charging all the new people moving in from other states so now they keep giving them issues etc. the building management claims they’re problematic etc. he’s so confused why they’re doing this to two elder people. I told him to have a reason to kick you out so they can rent the apartment out to some young white person from Ohio for 4x the rent you’re paying. He said he knows. He doesn’t know what to do.

I didn’t know what to tell him.

I tried to be as fair as possible with the list. Sarah Bernhardt really should have been on this list, but it would be hard to judge her performance compared to the others.

Well, will you?

I can’t lie, this one looks good and fun and closer to the OG than any other. I’ve been a huge fan of the OG cast and the new films but that’s it.

I guess I liked Enterprise a bit. Voyager was only good once Jeri Ryan came on board.

How brave of him!

As a white director handling a black movie with black characters, did Spielberg do a good job or would it have been done better by a black director at that time? Which black directors were available?

Sure, it's full of (performative) activism, but most movies and shows are centrist at best. Hollywood is first and foremost a business. Even self-described "left-wing" creators who are given carte blanche end up of making centrist, sometimes even (unintentionally?) conservative movies and shows.

Thoughts?

Between these two trios of legendary actresses, which do you prefer? The classics or the contemporary?

I didn't know anything about him. Just watched The Last Czars on Netflix. His name should have been Pervy Pervertson. Crazy that all that was going on and people knew about it.

I had no idea hot tea was such a problem but it makes sense it would be a PITA when busy.

In my own brief experience waiting tables, all you can eat specials bring out the worst customers and also the cheapest for tipping. You’ll bring them 4 or 5 plates of ribs and then leave you $2.

For those of you with restaurant or bar experience, what are or were problem items or drinks that customers order?

You see the same cycle repeatedly. A hot new guy gets into the industry and on porn sites/Twitter/Onlyfans. Then they’re escorting. Before too long they’re on steroids and their veins start popping out. Within a year they start looking haggard. Next thing you know they’re getting DP’d, then fisted. I remember seeing one dude getting fisted by Cutler X and his ass was literally bleeding at the end of the scene. Then there’s Nate Grimes, whose asshole looks like it was invaded by the Russian army.

So what gives? There are so many guys like this already that you’d think the younger generations would take one look and say “I don’t want to end up like THAT!” But they just keep coming. New ones every day.

What a disaster. I can’t see my sister today because she and her kids got COVID.

“Don’t you look… the part!” - James Dreyfuss in Ab Fab “Sex” episode

Carry on

Lucy starred in a lousy sitcom in 1986 and made a forgettable tv movie about a homeless woman, but do DLers think she might have had another shot at greatness with the right project, costar, and a strong director who wouldn't cave in to her? I do.

They should do this, just to see the reaction.

Her mother died shortly before the special and Lucille vented her grief at everyone in her orbit, says the book Desilu.

According to one observer: "Lucy was so incredibly mean to everyone at dress rehearsal. There wasn't a full audience, just a few people. She yelled at everyone -- the wardrobe lady, the makeup man, everyone. She kept screaming at Gary Morton, 'Shut up!' whenever he tried to say something. Then she would tell him to go away, yelling at him the whole while. Once, Vivian Vance came over to her. She didn't look well. It was after her stroke, you could see she was very ill and obviously on some type of medication. Holding up two dresses, she asked Lucy nicely, 'Which one do you think I should wear?' Lucy looked at her with complete disgust and yelled, 'What difference does it make? You look like a cow in anything you wear!' Vivian ran away in tears. A few days later, in front of an audience, Lucy was a different person, all sweetness and light and 'My dear Viv.'"

Thirty years ago this week, “The Golden Girls” ended its cheesecake-fueled seven-season run with an unforgettable finale that involved an awkward date, a savage prank, an unexpected wedding and a tearful goodbye.

In the two-part episode, “One Flew Out of the Cuckoo’s Nest,” which aired May 9, 1992, Blanche (Rue McClanahan) has plans the night her Uncle Lucas (Leslie Nielsen) is visiting and pawns him off on Dorothy (Bea Arthur), telling each that the other is eager to meet. But when Dorothy and Lucas realize they were lied to, they scheme to teach Blanche a lesson by pretending they’ve hit it off and are getting married. During the elaborate ruse, they decide to wed for real, and Dorothy ends up moving out of the foursome’s Miami home to live with Lucas in Atlanta.

While Arthur had opted to leave the hit NBC sitcom, McClanahan, Betty White and Estelle Getty went on to reprise their roles in the spinoff “The Golden Palace,” which premiered on CBS in September of that year.

“We knew we wanted to kind of give her a fitting tribute and a fitting departure from the show,” recalled Mitchell Hurwitz, who served as a writer and producer on the series’ final seasons, including the finale.

“I remember, she was very moved by the last episode,” Hurwitz said of Arthur. “And she wrote me this lovely note about it. And that was really a privilege. I always felt lucky to be there at all. And to be given a chance to write something that was meaningful for her was really special.”

“There were just tremendous writers over the seven years of the show, at every stage of it,” added Hurwitz, who noted that “Golden Girls” creator Susan Harris and her partners Paul Junger Witt and Tony Thomas were “really responsible for the soul of that show.”

For Hurwitz, the most fun and touching moment from the finale was the farewell scene, in which Dorothy leaves and comes back.

“I really wanted to go even further,” he recalled. “I wanted to have the credits start to play and kind of pull them really quickly when she came back in, and then as you know, she comes back in one more time, presumably having scaled the lanai wall.”

“It really kind of mirrored reality. I remember there were a lot of goodbyes said that week,” he said. “And she didn’t want to leave. I think Dorothy didn’t want to leave and I think Bea Arthur didn’t really want to leave.”

“Bea was a very deep person and a very warm person, but it was all kind of hidden in this kind of stern exterior,” Hurwitz added. “So you know, it was kind of amazing to be part of something where so much emotion came out of her. … As you can see, when you watch it, Bea is really moved trying to say goodbye to these people. And I think they were surprised that she was as moved as she was. I don’t think she was surprised, because you know, she was a very deep person. But she didn’t show it often. And so the ending, I think, ended up being very affecting, because we really saw, you know, not only the character leaving, but Bea Arthur dealing with the fact that she was leaving.”

I’m really at a tipping point with the amount of daily stress and struggle I deal with every day. Most days I leave work mentally and physically exhausted. Even with a return to office, everything still feels very intense and regimented. Nothing ever feels relaxed or spontaneous, and everyone seems to be either in a hurry or going through the motions.

I don’t expect life to be a conga party, and I’m a hard worker, but it doesn’t seem like there is much latitude for humanity in the world. Am I the only one feeling this way?

Are straight guys turned on by other guys flirting with them? The clip art the link below got me thinking about this because I can't tell if the guy with the phone was (a) intrigued, (b) grossed out, or (c) ready to kill.

Any personal stories (successful or otherwise) would be appreciated for educational purposes.

I go with Mayim Bialik. Even though she's a producer on 'Call Me Kat,' it's obvious she'd rather be hosting 'Jeopardy!' and her podcast than appearing on the show that won't die.

The kids on 'Riverdale' are a close 2nd. They're all openly sick of the show and can't wait for it to be cancelled.

Please post a Youtube clip of what you feel is one of the most perfect live performances you've ever heard. It can be anything from Pop to Opera and everything in between. I know we've all got our favorites. I'm really interested in some that might have been overlooked. This one definitely hasn't been overlooked. It's been covered many times, originally for a 1955 film called "Unchained," but 25-year-old Bobby Hatfield's performance of Unchained Melody on the Andy Williams Show in 1965 blows me away every time. Especially the high C he hits at the end and the smile of satisfaction when he nails it.

But I thought they loved babies and were pro-life?

That guy is a total dump truck bottom.

I literally didn't know this movie existed until 10 minutes ago. Tooling around online I found the clip below, and it is everything I want in entertainment at the moment. This hot, joyful guy roller skating/dancing through New York, 1980 to a disco tune in tight trousers? I am so tickled by this. Never mind that in real life a guy doing that would probably be sectioned, it is just so joyful that the inner cynic in me forgot to even roll his eyes at the ridiculous "New York is the greatest city in the world" lyrics to the song. I just have a massive smile on my face.

I read a couple of comments under the video and the consensus seems to be it's a terrible movie. But what I want to know is, is it good terrible or bad terrible? If the former, I definitely think I might enjoy this!

Let's all say how beautiful she is.

Let's keep obsessing over this show. Was it written by a frau? Yes it was. Is it cute? Very.

The first time it happened, he had parked the car because we were yelling at eachother, it was dark out. We were alone in a parking lot and I remember grabbing at his shirt. Before I knew it, he punched me twice in the face. Hard. I saw stars and had a black eye for about a week.

The second time it happened, I wanted him to leave my home but he wouldn't. He was drunk. I tried pushing him towards the door but he grabbed me instead. He's much stronger than I am. I got a concussion after he threw me against the floor. I still stayed.

This morning I left him. I hope I'm doing the right thing but I feel scared. Scared to be alone. Scared I'm losing the only man who will love me. Tell me I'm making the right choice.

I was reading the article linked and I have found it interesting. People from the West Coast in particular, seem to like the idea of moving to Portugal because it's cheaper, safer, picturesque and both university and healthcare are free. Also, they have 5 years to be able to apply for nationality, which means that they will enjoy the same rights as EU citizens.

However, they have also caused a 500% increase in rent and property prices since 2016, and some of the reasons that they have for moving to Portugal seem to be extremely superficial - wanting a more relaxed lifestyle, disliking how contentious US politics have become and wanting to wind down and work less for the same amount of money. I have also found it supremely annoying that some of them stupidly think that Portugal would have similar cultural traits to Southern California, and are shocked that Mexican food is not commonplace and they have to learn Portuguese.

All in all, this is an interesting article, even though I am not sure whether having an influx of whimsical rich wannabes from L.A. is good for Europe.

In most wealthy countries, the government figures out how much in taxes you owe them — and for free. As all of you know, that’s not the case here in the United States.

Many of you probably used TurboTax, owned by Intuit, over the past few days to file your 2021 taxes. That one company is largely to blame for why Tax Day in America continues to be such a hassle year after year.

In 2003, Intuit and a handful of other tax filing companies like H&R Block entered into the IRS Free File Alliance with the IRS after George W. Bush proposed a no-cost federal tax preparation website through the IRS. This would’ve decimated these companies’ entire business model, so the IRS promised not to create a government-run, no-cost tax service on the condition that the companies added a “free file” option for customers.

Reporting since then has shown that Intuit and other tax prep companies hid their Free File options from Google results and lured customers with the promise of Free File only to then hit them with fees later in the process. The FTC filed a formal complaint against Intuit for this “bait and switch” practice in late March.

That’s not the only way Intuit has worked to make filing your taxes as difficult as possible. The company has spent $41 million on lobbying since 1998, including nearly $3.3 million last year alone — all with the intent of preventing the government from establishing a free tax preparation service. It’s not just Intuit: H&R Block dropped more than $3.4 million on lobbying last year.

It’s worth the investment. As of 2019, Intuit co-founder Scott Cook was worth a cool $3.3 billion, while former CEO Brad Smith was worth well over $200 million. All those exorbitant fees and hours spent poring over complex documents are lining their pockets. Like so many other problems plaguing the country, Big Money in politics is largely to blame. Know the truth this Tax Day.

I thought that it would be nice to have a thread about these beautiful, monumental buildings, that can be utterly unusual and surprising.

Let me start by adding the rather majestic Royal Palace of Antananarivo in Madagascar.

C'mon, if anyone ever deserved "bearking" it was this guy.

(was going to pick a random photo to include but someone somewhere would have complained.)

Maybe watch it after that wonderful "Maniac" vid with the woman who became popular in Italy...

Valerie Bertinelli has filed divorce papers to end her marriage to husband Tom Vitale.

The actor and television host, 62, submitted paperwork on May 12 to the Los Angeles Superior Court of California — citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split — in documents obtained by TODAY.

Bertinelli married Vitale, a financial planner, on Jan. 1, 2011. In November 2021, the “Valerie’s Home Cooking” host filed for legal separation from her husband.

However, according to the recent divorce papers, Vitale and Bertinelli have been separated since December 2019.

The documents also confirm that the pair have a prenuptial agreement that “is in full force and effect and fully binding on the parties.”

Vitale and Bertinelli do not have any children together.

On Monday, she uploaded a video to Instagram of her responding to a fan’s comment about her seeming sad.

“I’m just having a very bad day,” she said in the clip. “But you know what? Sometimes we have bad days and then we get over them. And then there’s a good day. So, I’m looking forward to the good day.”

Bertinelli was previously married to the late rock legend Eddie Van Halen from 1981 to 2007. In October 2020, the iconic guitarist died from cancer at age 65.

Since his death, Bertinelli has opened up publicly about the state of their relationship before he died.

“We went through a lot of hell as well,” she told Hoda Kotb when she stopped by TODAY in January. “We weren’t really good to each other at a lot of points in our lives because we met so young and were very immature.”

Bertinelli continued, “But I’m so happy that we were able to come to a beautiful place by the end of his life. I wish he was still here.”

She also spoke about the book she penned earlier this year titled “Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today.” The celebrity chef revealed in the memoir that she and their son, Wolfgang, 31, were with Van Halen during his final moments.

In the book, she shared, “I love you are the last words Ed says to Wolfie and me and they are the last words we say to him before he stops breathing.”

She wrote that the former couple remained close after their divorce.

During her appearance on TODAY in January, Bertinelli also spoke about her marriage with Vitale.

“I also want to be gentle and caring, and not just rip off a Band-Aid,” she said at the time. “I like to pull it off gently. But I think there is definitely power and peace in changing your narrative and changing the way that you can look at your life. I know it is for me. When I changed the way I looked at my life and stopped beating myself up most of the time, there is power in that and peace.”

Such a beautiful and classy woman!

Her and Mel Brooks always seemed to have a very happy and stable marriage. They were together for 45 years!

Let's discuss Miss Bancroft.

Favorite performance?

Any fun personal stories?

I loved her in The Elephant Man as Miss Kendall, the great American tragic actress who fell in love with Joseph Merrick.

I want one!!!

They seem to be all the rage right now.

Does anyone else here have one?

How do you like it?

Do tell, please.

I can't find the original thread.

Adam Charlton deserves to be coverboy anyway.

In the 40s, she was MGM's leading lady and got all the top dramatic parts. With five consecutive Oscar nominations, she was considered the greatest actress second only to Bette Davis, a feat only Bette matched. Even Katharine Hepburn didn't have her reputation then of being the greatest (or second greatest) actress of all time.

Yet, Greer Garson is completely forgotten these days. People remember Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, and Barbara Stanwyck, but absolutely nobody remembers Greer Garson or any of her movies. The only movie that's somewhat still known is Mrs. Miniver and even that isn't quite the classic it used to be. Does anybody know why there's been such a cultural abandoning of Greer Garson?

I wonder if Pete is teasing some daddy milk out of Chasten’s juicy nipples.

Discussion about the massive lardos Niall Hogran, Lewis Fataldi, Fat Niko from Lard Channel and their obese superfan Gemma continues here.

Gemma is loving Niko’s unhealthy diet and praising him for being drunk for days. She wants to be just like him. This girl is insane.

Well this is all a bit awkward. Despite his foolishness, I feel sorry for him. This kind of filming is super creepy and unethical.

Someone on the Joey Stefano thread said we need a CC LaR thread. So here it is. I don't know anything about her other than she was in the video below.

Can't find an open thread. So I'm starting this. It's weird, but interesting without the Russians. No big loss in ice dancing, just one team. Nice for Knierem/Frazier to win Gold, though the rest of the field was beyond weak. The silver going to the Japanese was ridiculous. That free was a mess.

Ashley Cain's fall was horrifying. This may be it for that team.

There really aren't any, are there?

Continuation from the previous thread.

Number one reason: I just don’t like it. The entire process is overwhelming.

Number two reason: The HUGE time commitment. From warming the water up, to getting into the shower, to doing all of the necessary shower things, to getting out of the shower, to drying off, to waiting for my hair to dry, I can’t be bothered to do it.

Number three reason: I hating the feeling of wet hair. I can’t use a hair dryer and I hate the sound, I have sensory issues.

Number four reason: The environment. I’m not wasting water or products and you shouldn’t either. Together we can all save the planet.

What does it look like? Details, please!

We’ve missed you!

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation dished out nearly $4 million in consulting payments to its board secretary, co-founder Patrisse Cullors' brother, and the father of Cullors' child.

BLM Global Network, the movement's primary nonprofit, paid $2.1 million to Bowers Consulting, a firm run by Shalomyah Bowers, the foundation's board secretary, between July 2020 and June 2021, according to tax forms the BLM Global Network Foundation provided to the Associated Press.

The nonprofit also pushed $1.8 million to individuals with close ties to Cullors, who stepped away from the group last year.

World continues to spin. People get on with their lives.

Twitter is debating a post, so let's ask DL: I had lunch with a few friends. They ordered drinks and appetizers plus lunch. I had a salad. They know I don’t drink but yet insisted we split the bill equally. I’m not cheap but it is the principle. Am I wrong for not wanting to pay more than my fair share?

Assuming everyone's portion is not roughly the same, do you go equal on the bill or pay your portion?

This is just hideous, head to toe. Does her stylist hate her?!

Omg! Thanks to the DL I have discovered a nugget of pure, unadulterated comedy gold by way of Miss SONDRA PRILL. Her shitastic covers of some of the biggest hits of the 1980s provides me with hours of medicinal laughter. The kind that causes me to roll around on my bed laughing and pissing my pants. Watch Sondra Prill perform her Tampa cable public access versions of Patti Labelle’s “New Attitude”, Janet Jackson “Nasty”, “Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton’s “ Islands In The Stream”, Technotronic’s “Pump Up The Jam”, etc.

Btw…. Don’t stop watching one of her performances mid way through thinking you’ve seen everything she’s got to offer! This bitch will throw in thrills when you least expect it so you can keep on laughin until the very end.

Why isn't this more widely acknowledged?

It's a superior film in every way.

No this is not a poll!

The group claims Brian Sims is both a lightning rod for controversy and a social climber who spends more time on Instagram and traveling America as a paid speaker than on basic constituent services or legislation in Harrisburg. They paint him as Pete Buttigieg without the nerdy day job: Gay as blazes, but a little egotistical.

DL loves this guy. He's already the king of your fantasies, but would you elect him to a statewide office? Or do his critics have a point?

Frau has meltdown over frau problem she created herself. Is this peak frau?

Craig Marks indicates people gossiping could be so cruel that if he fulfills his wish of having kids in his thirties he will have to give up working in porn so that his kids are not mocked for his choic of career. So does a porn career have a compatibility problem with parenthood?

A couple of things strike me about what I heard in this interview.

I think it's very unusual( and rather sad ) even in the porn sector, for someone at that age to assume , plan and expect to still be working in porn that many years into the future I think it takes a lot for granted and is maybe naive. In such a highly competitive field were there is a constant stream of new faces joining I think its a tad arrogant also to make such assumptions. He also indicates he doesn't seem to like most people he meets- that and publicly admitting it could work against him in porn sector. He also bigs up Michael Lucas in the interview which tells me he is trying to find an in back with him after rumoured fallout were stopped following each other on twitter and Lucas shaded him in an Instagram story putting a photo up of Craig to the song no friend of mine. Other thoughts are it moves me towards thinking the onlyfans and online pornstar type economy justforfans etc bubble is inevitably going to burst. The hubris and delusion about how the future is secure points to a massive reduction in money being made in the field as becomes oversaturated with wannabee pornstar workers reducing the market rate.

What does DL recommend?

Do we still consider him good looking, or is he past his sell-by date?

I discovered this song for the first time tonight. I know, I know, I'm a bad gay. But in my defense, I was too young in 1995 to be clubbing. I was aware of The Tamperer's song "Feel It", but never thought to look up where those lyrics came from before about 15 minutes ago.

I really love this! So, I thought, for those of you who were there at the time, please share your favourite 90s house songs, anything from popular to the deepest of cuts, I'm not fussy. Just make me jealous that I wasn't around in the clubs then. Thanks!

Trevor Noah and Minka Kelly are no longer together.

The 37-year-old Daily Show host and the 40-year-old Titans star, who began dating back in August of 2020, have split, People reported via a source on Sunday (May 14).

Trevor was last seen having a good time with DJ Steve Aoki and Dave Grutman, partying in Miami, Fla. over the weekend, while Minka was on vacation with friends in Mexico.

“Minka’s never been happier. It’s a very serious relationship," a source said at the time of the pair's romance first making headlines last summer. They were then seen traveling together for the first time.

By the end of the year, they were reportedly house-hunting together in Los Angeles. And as of earlier this year, a source confirmed they were still dating and "making plans for a future together."

The two have not publicly addressed the relationship, nor the reported split.

I've been following this dude for a while instagram.com/broderickhunter/ and I was wondering if I am the only one who find this guy attractive ? Also feel free to share other guys like him if you know, as a latino I dont know many men who look like him so I'd be nice to follow new guys. Please no trolling.

For 20+ years I have had to regularly attend training seminars and meetings at my company’s headquarters and have never had this happen to me before:

This time I am here for two weeks. Today’s session was going to be a bit shorter, which made lunch break unnecessary but still scheduled, so during an earlier break I went for a coffee recharge and spent the rest of the time just aimlessly walking. My feet took me to a far corner of the campus but there was still a men’s room, which I decided to take advantage of.

I walked in and saw it was empty, save for one stall. My mind really wasn’t even considering anything was going to happen, but when I assumed the position I couldn’t help but notice the stereotypical “wide stance” that has gotten pervier losers than me in trouble. I was skeptical for a minute, but considered the circumstances and said to myself “What the hell?”

It wasn’t more than one second after my own stance widened that a hand appeared underneath the divider, beckoning an offering. I immediately noted it wasn’t the hand of an old man. Slightly freckled, with orange-hued blondish hair growing from the knuckles and thickening as it made its way towards the wrist, the hand was far from slight or dainty; the fingers were thick, but not short or grubby and tipped with nails that weren’t polished, but earnestly cleaned and amateurishly clipped.

I unzipped my pants, dropped trou and knelt down, my dick now starting to grow to its full length from the excitement. He eagerly grabbed my member and got to stroking. I heard him start to moan and eventually a head appeared underneath the divider. The guy was gorgeous! Well, perhaps not gorgeous, but I though hw as one of those sexy nerd types… and I’m a sucker for a nerd. Long story short, he sucked me off, tongued my balls and expertly brought me to orgasm.

But before he could wipe my seed off his adorkable face, he was already asking when we could do this again. I guess he saw my ID, did the math and figured out why I was there. He also confessed that he was expecting someone else, hadn’t expected me, but really wanted to meet up to do “a fuckton more!” We exchanged numbers and I skedaddled out of there so not to cockblock him.

I’m totally excited! I haven’t had such an intense, fun, sexual encounter like this in a long time. And since he’s at HQ, I’m hoping this could be a regular thing.

The trailer is out

I did a search and haven't seen anything.

Great article from Kim Masters at THR

Will never understand the guy's appeal.

I read the first book years ago and enjoyed it (for what it is) but could never make it through the movie with Matthew McConaughey.

The lead, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo is quite sexy and has great chemistry with his two ex wives played by Neve Campbell and Becki Newton.

It's certainly not breaking any new ground, but was a quick and enjoyable watch while I was home sick yesterday.

Which of these Miami guys would you copulate with?

She’s replacing Kelly Clarkson.

The last thread was closed before all the cum could flow, and the outrage could spew. It's warm now, don't most of you have to be out, about, freeballing and looking to shoot!?

She says films like La Grand Buffe, Last Tango in Paris and La Maman et la Putain could not be made today which is a shame because she likes the audacious.

I've decided to read her autobio which includes:

Woody Allen went to her home to take photos and consider her for a part in Broadway Danny Rose, but it didn't pan out.

She was friends with Fellini and worked behind the scenes with him, but she regrets not appearing in one of his films.

She worked with Fassbinder and LOVED him.

She dreams of working with Meryl (not you, Glenn).

There has been an explosion of interest in women's soccer over the last couple of years. Particularly in European domestic leagues. This weekend's champions league match between PSG and Lyon is sold out with 47k a sold. The next match in Wolfsburg is breaking their club record with over 20k in attendance. Barcelona women's team has had two back to back home matches with over 91K in the stadium. Sweden's national team recently broke records with their attendance and all of England's matches in the upcoming euros are sold out including 87K at Wembley for the final. In the US a recent preseason NWSL match had more viewers than the regular season MLS match. The English women's league is consistently having high viewership. And this interest should only continue to rise with the upcoming euros and World Cup.

Who is it?

I feel like 1992 was the last year full of movies that are not only dated, but almost every aspect slaps you in the face in their datedness. Then by 2003, you have to really pay attention and analyze movies to truly notice the datedness. Or maybe I'm just getting old and everything runs together in my advanced age?

Anyone care to explain it?

Coming from West Coast of the United States, it's just not a thing here. Coffee? Yes. Tea? Not so much.

Why are the British so enamored with tea?

And what are the formalities surrounding tea culture in the UK?

Is it similar to tea culture in China and Japan?

I'm thinking of switching from coffee to tea.

After backlash from his readers that he spent too much time/money traveling to places known to be inhospitable to LGBT people, travel blogger Ben Schlappig wrote this weak sauce about his feelings on traveling while queer.

Personally, I think Ben has a touch of the 'tism, and genuinely doesn't observe or process human emotions the same way most of the rest of us do. It truly doesn't occur to him that he's traveling to places that make others uncomfortable, or that his fixation (air travel and miles/points) glosses over some serious concerns about human rights and basic dignity. The dude would fly to North Korea if they gave him good points and a decent champagne with his seat.

Can a traveler separate his personality and sexuality from the destinations? Should queer people be reluctant to give money and exposure to countries that harm our kind?

May 17 Portland-area leftist arrested for child sex crimes, urinating in Arby's milkshake mix at work

Stephen Sharp confessed to urinating into the milkshake mix on at least two occasions at a Vancouver, WA Arby's where he worked, saying it was for sexual gratification. While investigating a Vancouver, Washington man for the possession and distribution of child pornography, police discovered that Stephen Sharp had taken a video of himself urinating into the milkshake mix at a local Arby’s where he worked as a night shift manager.

According to the Vancouver Police Department, their Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit had begun an investigation into 29-year-old Sharp’s possession and distribution of photos and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of children. On at least one occasion, such imagery was downloaded within proximity of an Arby’s located at 221 NE 104th Ave.

Sharp confessed to downloading and distributing child pornography and having a sexual interest in children during an interview with detectives on May 10. A search warrant was subsequently executed on his digital devices, where a DECU digital forensics investigator found a video of Sharp urinating in a container of milkshake mix from Arby’s.

Sharp confessed that he had done such an act on at least two occasions for sexual gratification.

Sharp has been charged with 4 counts of Possession of Depictions of Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct, 4 counts of Dealing Depictions of Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct, and Assault II.

Police are urging anyone who ordered a milkshake from the Arby’s located at 221 NE 104 Ave between October 30 and 31, 2021 and still have a recipe to contact local authorities.

"The Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit has not located evidence that Arby’s or its franchisee were aware of the abhorrent actions of Stephen Sharp," police said. According to The Columbian, a manager told police that the restaurant sold at least one ice cream float and around 30 to 40 milkshakes on the day that the video was taken. Sharp claimed that he was "almost sure" he threw away the bag after the act, but told detectives that if the bag was not thrown away, it would’ve been added to other milkshake mixes and served during the following shift.

On Friday, Judge David Gregerson raised Sharp’s bail from $5,000 to $40,000. Sharp is scheduled to be arraigned on May 25.

A manager for the Arby’s location told The Post Millennial that Sharp is no longer employed by the company, adding that they could not issue further comment in the ongoing case.

On social media, Sharp frequently posted far-left content attacking the police and Trump supporters. In one May 2021 post, he posted a graphic stating things like "racism is real, even if you are not racist," "white privilege is real, even if the cop you know is kind and just," and "pandemics are real, whether or not you know someone who is sick."

He frequently posted content with the hashtag "f*ck the police," changing his Facebook cover photo at one point to a pig dressed as a police officer, with the abbreviation "ACAB," or "All Cops Are Bastards," underneath.

Sharp also posted numerous articles to Facebook regarding topics like Trump supporters, Proud Boys, and Kyle Rittenhouse, with the hashtags "Modern Day KKK" and "F*ck America."

In regards to one post made late in 2020 about Rittenhouse, Sharp wrote: "Stop f*cking crying. If your man enough to shoot a man. Then your man enough to deal with the repercussions. Hope he gets life in prison."

Over seven years and tens of millions of tax dollars later, Australia's "Lindy-Chamberlain-in-reverse" may not get away with it after all. I'll give her one thing: FFC (Female Foster Carer) kept her name out of the papers! Even I didn't manage that.

In September of 2014, 3-year-old William Tyrrell went missing in NE NSW (four or five hour drive north of Sydney). The story was huge Down Under. He was a foster child, and the affluent foster mother (due to the laws) enjoyed anonymity, along with her husband and William's sister (who they also fostered). This information wouldn't have been known to the public until some time later. The public would only know that William was missing and the identity of the "parents" couldn't be revealed for legal reasons. The case has gone through three different lead investigators. The foster parents were ruled out twice. The second investigator (the darling Gary Jubelin) was infamously convicted of illegal conduct (which he stands by to this day). Multiple retired community members were accused of being paedophiles responsible for William's disappearance, including one neighbour who volunteered his time to help with the initial search! The local washing machine mechanic was even arrested and had his life ruined! The country town of Kendall was pretty much destroyed. And the biological parents (no angels themselves, both bogans with drug/legal issues) had to watch this all happen from a distance without any ability to help with the search, knowing that William and his sister were taken away from them for their "protection."

Things took a turn a week ago when we learned authorities confiscated the dead foster maternal grandmother's vehicle. They've started digging at her old house as well (look it up Tasteful Friends! 48 Benaroon Dr, Kendall, NSW). And, on top of it all, FFC has just been charged with assault against a child (not related to the deceased William). The wheels of justice have begun turning slowly ... forward, instead of in reverse!

Anyway, FFC, your time may be up. (I'll give you some hints: her first name is shared with an international box-office star and her surname is that of a flower ... nice touch!). But, you had a good run. Cancer ended up getting me ten years after the "SBTC or paedophiles got my girl". Karma's a bitch!

Btw, those are Nanna's slippers in the photo right before little Willy vanished.

It just does not make sense to me. Isn't the whole purpose of being gay is because you like MEN? So therefore how on earth could you find fems attractive? It defeats the whole purpose of being gay. You might as well go be with a woman.

Are the guys that like fems actually bi and not gay? That would make more sense to me since bi guys are of course attracted to both men and women so maybe they are turned on by feminine men?

P.S.: I am a masculine gay man myself that is strictly only attracted to other masculine men and I am not trying to offend anyone at all, I am just simply curious to hear different opinions on this...

Please enlighten me.

Insisting on Russian weaknesses against all evidence to the contrary is pathetic - and tragic for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Russia racks up military successes. And all we talk about is how the war is unpopular at home, their military is not strong really, their nuclear power is actually outdated, Ukraine will defeat Russia, Putin is on his last legs, sanctions are weakening him, yadda yadda yadda... It's pathetic wishful thinking.

Part 1 of Season 6 will premiere on April 18 at 9 p.m. ET. on AMC, consisting of seven episodes. Then the final six episodes air starting on July 11.

Doctor Who has cast transgender actress Yasmin Finney as Rose after Billie Piper was the first to take on the role when the BBC show was rebooted.

The 18-year-old recently shot to fame with an iconic role in Netflix's gay teen romance Heartstoppers where she plays a trans character, Elle Argent.

It was revealed by the BBC on Monday she will be named Rose echoing Ms Piper's stint as the beloved companion to both David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston generations of the doctors.

Ms Finney is not the first trans actor to be on Doctor Who with actress Rebecca Root playing a companion and Bethany Black appearing on the show.

She will also be joined by fellow Netflix alum Ncuti Gatwa as the doctor when the show airs in 2023.

Russell T Davies, who revived the show in 2005 with the first episode entitled Rose, is back as the showrunner.

He said it was 'an absolute joy' to have the trans actress on-board for the 60th anniversary of the show.

He added: 'Life on Doctor Who gets brighter and wilder, how can there be another Rose?

'You'll find out in 2023, but it's an absolute joy to welcome Yasmin to the Doctor Who set.

'We all fell in love with her in Heartstopper, one of those shows which changes the world - and now Yasmin can change the Whoniverse!'

Ms Finney said: 'If anyone would have told eight year old Yasmin that one day she'd be part of this iconic show, I would have never in a million years believed them.

'This show has a place in so many people's hearts, so to be seen as a trans actress by the legend himself Russell, has not only made my year, it's made my life.

'I cannot wait to begin this journey and for you all to see how Rose blossoms. Get Ready.'

Both Mr Tennant and Catherine Tate, who also played a doctor's companion back in the 2000s, are also set to return to the new series but there has been no clues whether Ms Piper would.

Mr Gatwa, 29, who played a gay teen on Sex Education, is to be the 14th time travelling timelord after first female Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker steps down.

Him and Ms Finney were pictured posing together earlier this year, which led to speculation they would share the screen in Doctor Who, which has since been confirmed.

The 29-year-old, the first black actor to play a primary incarnation of the Doctor, told his 2.1million followers on Instagram that she was his 'heartstopper'.

Not a care. Justin Hartley doesn’t mind Chrishell Stause’s new relationship with G Flip. The This is Us star “doesn’t keep up” with his ex-wife’s life after their divorce.

A source told Us Weekly on May 16, 2022 that “Justin doesn’t keep up with news about Chrishell at all. He’s not one who follows celebrity news unless someone brings it up to him.” The insider also revealed that Justin is “really all about keeping his personal life private, especially when it comes to his relationships.”

Justin and Chrishell were married from 2017 to 2019 after three years of dating. Justin filed for divorce in 2019, and Chrishell found out about his decision via text while filming season 3 of Selling Sunset. “I found out because he texted me that we were filed. Forty-five minutes later, the world knew,” the real estate agent said in one episode. The Young and Restless star married his co-star Sofia Pernas in 2019, while Chrishell dated Dancing with the Star’s Keo Motsepe and her boss in Selling Sunset Jason Oppenheim. Chrishell announced that she was dating Australian singer G-Flip in May 2022 at the Selling Sunset season 5 reunion. You don’t get to choose where you meet someone. You don’t get to choose when you meet someone in their life,” Chrishell shared. “So recently, I’ve met someone that is in a different place in their life as well. I recently have been spending a lot of time with someone that’s very important to me. Their name is G Flip.”

According to Us Weekly‘s source, Justin isn’t a fan of reality TV, but understands that he “can’t control” what Chrishell says on Selling Sunset. “What Chrishell wants to talk about on TV about their past is her business. He has nothing to do with it — he’s far removed from that relationship.” The insider added of the NBC star’s reaction to his ex-wife’s public comments, “He doesn’t like drama and isn’t a big fan of reality TV. … He can’t control what she says. He doesn’t pay attention to it.”

Chrishell and her sisters recently shaded Justin in the season finale of Selling Sunset. “I feel like with your last relationship, there was some criticism,” eldest Stause sister Shonda said, referring to Justin and Chrishell’s relationship. “A lot of what you did, I don’t think that he took you seriously. A lot of your jobs, he acted like they were not real jobs. And this was your life. This was your job. You worked so hard for it.”

Chrishell agreed with her sister “I don’t even, like, think about this anymore. But the second that you, like, my memory hits of what you’re talking about, I’m like, ‘Who was I?’ I don’t even know who that was.”

And snagged three cake plates and some Christmas ornaments. She was there as was every frau and middle aged gay man in Westchester County.

Views are nice, but no view of the ocean, which to me defeats living in Socal with that much money (at have a least a view of the ocean in the distance beyond the city). Decor is all over the place. Who buys this? It's like a B&B or inn. Is this location "good"?

Summer is not far away, and I'm curious what your summer reading plans include, so I'm starting a new thread.

Matt Damon is Hollywood A list actors, appearing in many popular movies including Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan, The Talented Mr Ripley, Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13, The Bourne trilogy, and The Departed. Looking at his physique, Matt is definitely no stranger to the gym. He has transformed from a skinny looking guy to a guy with great shape. He has been maintaining it pretty well, except the time he shot for The Informant, which he purposely gained weight with flabby belly for the role.

Matt Damon has lean muscular build that is what most metro sexual men want. Not the traditional bodybuilder bulky look.

Here are some of the highlights:

Matt Damon works out with weights about an hour a day, 5 days a week.

After pushing himself to the limit at the gym, he made sure he recover from a good night’s sleep.

He incorporates circuit training in his workout program to challenge his body and muscles.

His favorite workout was sprint drills when he prepared for the Invictus movie.

He keeps in shape by cycling, running and swimming. Cardiovascular exercise is important to help burn the body fat so that he remains lean and ripped.

Matt also does boxing and Kali martial arts (from the Philippines) so that he is fast when comes to action scene in his movies. He picked up these martial arts during Bourne identity movie.

He is very consistent in eating healthily. Strict and clean diet.

Matt wanted to prove to his fan that he could act, not relying on his look and muscles for his success. Therefore, he gained about 30 pounds for his role in The Informant. To gain weight, he actually stopped exercising and started drinking beer and ate burgers. Right after the movie, Damon went back to gym to shed the far and rebuilt his body.

In short, Matt Damon’s body does not come easy. Much dedication is needed.

With happy pet pictures!

In a documentary on the 1970s punk scene, an interviewee (born in 1959) explained how he didn’t identify with the typical Baby Boomer characteristics and that he was too old to be a Gen X. He felt as though he didn’t belong and just defined himself as a punk. I often wondered about this group of people. They’re officially classified as Baby Boomers, yet coming of age during “Anarchy in the UK” must have given them a totally different life experience from those who came of age during “Give Peace a Chance”. Turns out the man in the documentary was a member of Generation Jones. Turns out the 1980s yuppies of the Reganomics era were also Generation Jones. I’m Generation X and Generation Jones was the cool older sibling I looked up to and relied on for music suggestions. I had way more in common with Generation Jones than I did with my traditional Baby Boomer parents who listened to British Invasion music before growing their hair long.

Was this her best solo album? Here's a four star review from 1998:

[quote] After spending some time exploring her Cuban roots and traditional pop, Gloria Estefan returned to straight-up dance-pop with the infectious Gloria! With its percolating disco beats and sunny melodies, the record recalls her glory days of the late '80s, but there is a stronger Latin rhythmic underpinning, which gives the music depth. Some of the songs themselves are slight, but most of them rank among her best uptempo songs and ballads, especially since her singing is better than ever. In fact, Gloria! proves that some dance-pop divas can get better -- and more adventurous -- with age.

Andy Dick was arrested again Wednesday — and it was captured live on camera by a fellow RV enthusiast in California.

The comedian, 56, was detained and charged with felony sexual battery, TMZ reported.

The arrest was seen live on the YouTube channel “Captain Content’s RV.” The channel’s live video continued rolling for multiple hours after the arrest.

Dick was living in an RV camp with several other people in Orange County, Calif., according to TMZ. Another man at the site, O’Neill Regional Park, accused Dick of sexually assaulting him.

The livestream showed several cops chatting with Dick at one RV. They then led him to a police car and handcuffed him.

Dick has been charged multiple times in the past with sexual assault crimes, and was fired from the film “Raising Buchanan” in 2017 after several accusations were publicized.

In response to the firing, he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time, “My middle name is ‘misconduct.’ They know what they signed up for.” But later in the same interview, he said, “I didn’t grope anybody.”

On Wednesday, the New York Court of Appeals ruled that the congressional map New York Democrats enacted back in February was a partisan gerrymander that violated the state constitution and tossed it to the curb. The decision was a huge blow to Democrats, who until recently looked like they had gained enough seats nationally in redistricting to almost eliminate the Republican bias in the House of Representatives. But with the invalidation of New York’s map, as well as Florida’s recent passage of a congressional map that heavily favors the GOP,1 the takeaways from the 2021-22 redistricting cycle are no longer so straightforward.

That’s because much of Democrats’ national redistricting advantage rested on their gerrymander in New York. The now-invalidated map included 20 seats with a FiveThirtyEight partisan lean of D+5 or bluer and only four seats with a partisan lean of R+5 or redder. It also included two swing seats, but even those had slight Democratic leans (D+3 and D+4).

In other words, all else being equal, we’d have expected Democrats to win 22 of New York’s 26 House seats (85 percent) under the map. But that’s way out of proportion with how New York usually votes; for instance, President Biden got just 61 percent of the vote there in 2020.

There are currently 19 Democrats and eight Republicans in New York’s congressional delegation, so this map likely would have resulted in Democrats gaining three House seats in the 2022 election and Republicans losing four, from just New York alone. (The map converted the 1st and 11th districts from light red to light blue, and it also moved the swing district currently held by Republican Rep. John Katko more firmly into Democratic territory. It also chose a Republican-held seat upstate as the district New York would have to lose as a result of its relatively sluggish population growth in the 2020 census.)3

Those heady gains and losses were the foundation for the big national gains Democrats had run up about a month ago. As of March 30, redistricting had added 11 districts to the “Democratic-leaning” (D+5 or bluer) column nationally (compared with the maps that were in place in 2020) and subtracted six districts from the “Republican-leaning” column (R+5 or redder). Today, though, Democrats are up only seven districts, and Republicans are no longer down at all — they’ve actually added one

Between 2018 and 2021, public complaints about collection attempts for medical bills consumers said they did not owe jumped 31%, the CFPB found.

Of the items that Lord Elgin, took from atop the Acropolis, it is estimated that he looted some 247 feet of frieze from the Parthenon, what is commonly referred to today as the so-called “Elgin Marbles”. Furthermore, it is believed that Elgin took around half of what was still standing of the Parthenon at that time.

It is long overdue that England return these priceless Parthenon Sculptures, an indelible and integral piece of the country's culture, that Elgin stole from the Greece in 1816. And with the new Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece is well-equipped to keep the Sculptures safe for posterity.

Marnie Schulenburg COURTESY INDUSTRY ENTERTAINMENT

Marnie Schulenburg, the soap opera actress who portrayed Alison Stewart on CBS’ As the World Turns and Jo Sullivan on the One Life to Live reboot, has died after a battle with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She was 37.

Schulenburg died Tuesday in Bloomfield, New Jersey, her rep Kyle Luker at Industry Entertainment told The Hollywood Reporter.

Survivors include her husband, Succession and Sorry for Your Loss actor Zack Robidas — they married in September 2013 — and their daughter, Coda, 2. She was diagnosed five months after Coda’s birth in December 2019.

Schulenburg made her daytime debut as Stewart on CBS’ The Young and the Restless in 2007 after the character was re-introduced in the online production “Digital Daytime: L.A. Diaries,” which also starred Adrienne Frantz (Amber Moore on Y&R).

Related Stories June Preston MOVIE NEWS June Preston, Child Actor Turned Celebrated Opera Singer, Dies at 93 Schulenburg played Stewart on As the World Turns through the show’s cancellation in 2010 — she received a Daytime Emmy nomination that year — then joined One Life to Live as Sullivan when the ABC stalwart returned as a web series on Hulu and iTunes in 2013.

The daughter of a concert trombonist, Schulenburg was born on May 21, 1984, in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. She attended Barnstable High School in Massachusetts and DeSales University in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, graduating with a degree in theater in 2006.

A onetime gymnast, she appeared in plays for the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival and for the Dramatists Guild of America in New York City before landing on television.

Schulenburg also guest-starred on such primetime shows as Blue Bloods, Fringe, Elementary, Royal Pains and The Good Fight and will recur next season as Maggie Caysen on the Showtime drama City on a Hill.

She was released from the hospital on Mother’s Day to spend time with her husband and daughter, the website SheKnows Soaps reported.

“I know that me being here for [Coda] is the best gift I can give her,” she wrote recently, “but right now, it feels like settling since she’s getting a half-life version of myself. My mother showed up 100 percent all day every day for me growing up, or at least it seemed that way. I want to give Coda the same, but I must be kind to myself and remember that nothing is permanent.”

I seem to have missed the memo on this, but I’ve seen more and more articles about gays being privileged and needing to bow to the trans/nonbinary/queer crowd.

What’s even more irritating is that many of the younger gays and lesbians are rebranding themselves as “queer” so that they can continue to claim victimhood.

Even more insidious are the gay white men who rebrand themselves as “nonbinary” so that they can bash other gay white men.

Last but one of the von Trapp children.

Todd and Julie Chrisley lived an extravagant, reality TV-worthy lifestyle that was built on lies, according to prosecutors.

In her opening statement on Tuesday, Assistant US Attorney Annalise Peters said that the couple — best known for their USA Network reality series "Chrisley Knows Best" — submitted fake documents exaggerating their wealth to banks to borrow more than $30 million that they "burned" on luxury items, while also hiding money from the IRS.

"They made up documents and they lie through their teeth to get whatever they want whenever they want it," Peters told the jury.

Dressed in a navy blue suit, Todd Chrisley sat in a 17th floor Atlanta federal courtroom with his wife, Julie, and their legal team on Tuesday, where they are on trial for bank fraud and tax evasion. Two of their children, Savannah and Chase Chrisley, were in the courtroom Tuesday.

Julie Chrisley is also charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of obstruction of justice on accusations that inflated her income to rent a $13,000-a-month California home that she then didn't pay the rent on, and also manipulated documents provided during the federal investigation.

The Chrisley's accountant, Peter Tarantino, is charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and two counts of willfully filing false tax returns.

The Chrisleys have denied all of the charges, and their lawyer has blamed all bank fraud and tax evasion on the former employee who eventually turned the couple into the FBI, Mark Braddock.

Todd Chrisley's attorney, Bruce H. Morris, alleged in his opening statement that Braddock committed all the fraud — while impersonating Todd Chrisley — without them knowing and then turned on them when he was fired in 2012.

Braddock was "obsessed" with Todd Chrisley, and "wanted to be" him, buying homes and furniture to live a lifestyle that mimicked his, Morris said.

An attorney for Tarantino said that his client was an accountant who failed the CPA exam many times over 20 years and was unqualified to have taken on the Chrisleys. He is a procrastinator who was "in over his head," but not a criminal, he said.

Peters said in her opening that Braddock was a "fraudster." He was offered immunity for his participation, but said that he admitted all his crimes, as well as the specific instances of fraud committed by the couple, which was then backed up with other evidence.

The couple continued to commit fraud, she said, even after they cut all ties with Braddock.

"They were dead to each other," she said.

Todd Chrisley initially made his money by buying homes, fixing them up, decorating them, and selling them for a profit, Peters said.

And for a while, he was successful at that.

From 2007 to 2012, the business was doing well, but the couple was spending more than they were making, Peters said.

They "burned through" money on luxury cars, designer clothes, and a lifestyle outside of their budget, she said.

To get even more, the couple, and Braddock, began a scheme they called "scrapbooking," which involved piecing together parts of various documents when applying for personal loans to make it look like they had more money than they did.

They "targeted" over a dozen community banks with their schemes, believing those smaller branches would be less scrupulous, Peters said.

In one case, a statement made it look like Todd Chrisley had $4 million in an account, when he never had more than $20,000.

They used new loans to make payments on old loans, until they could no longer get anymore, she said.

When that happened, Todd Chrisley claimed bankruptcy in 2012 — walking away from $20 million in unpaid loans and putting a hold on the collection of $500,000 he owed on his 2009 taxes, Peters said.

Not long after, the couple got their reality show deal.

A new bombshell report by Rolling Stone, titled “Inside Taylor Hawkins’s Final Days as a Foo Fighter,” makes the disturbing claim that the legendary drummer was on the brink of exhaustion from playing physically taxing, nearly three-hour shows, and at the time of his death was considering scaling back his Foos duties or even quitting the band entirely. Hawkins died at age 50 on March 25, just hours before the Foo Fighters were scheduled to play Festival Estéreo in Bogotá, Colombia.

“Honestly, I think he was just so tired. Tired of the whole game,” blues singer Sass Jordan, for whom Hawkins drummed in the ‘90s, told Rolling Stone. Jordan also recalled Hawkins venting to her, “Oh, my f***ing God. I can’t look at the goddamn tour schedule. It gives me anxiety.” At that time, there were 62 dates on the Foo Fighters’ calendar for 2022, throughout North America, South America, Europe, and Australia.

Rolling Stone conducted more than 20 interviews with Hawkins’s friends and colleagues, among them Jordan, Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and the other surviving Foos declined to be interviewed for the piece; their publicist and management denied the allegations to the magazine’s four reporters, and have not yet responded to Yahoo Entertainment’s request for comment. While Jordan has retweeted Rolling Stone’s article in a seeming show of support, both Cameron and Smith have blasted the publication — alleging that they were misled to believe they were contributing to a celebratory Hawkins retrospective, not an exposé.

“Taylor was one of my best friends and I would do anything for his family. I was asked by Rolling Stone to talk about Taylor for a tribute article and I certainly didn’t expect it to be a piece about his last days. Had I known that, I never would have talked to the magazine, and I apologize for any pain my participation in the article may have caused his family and his musical friends. I miss him every day,” Smith exclusively told Yahoo Entertainment. Cameron posted a statement on Instagram expressing similar regret: “When I agreed to take part in the Rolling Stone article, I assumed it would be a celebration of his life and work. My quotes were taken out of context and shaped into a narrative I had never intended. … I am truly sorry to have taken part in this interview and I apologize that my participation may have cause harm to those for whom I have only the deepest respect and admiration.”

The Foo Fighters were one of the first actively touring bands to get right back onstage once COVID restrictions eased up in 2021, starting with a six-song set at SoFi Stadium’s Vax Live all-star event on May 2, followed by a full 23-song show at the 610-capacity Canyon Club in Agoura, Calif., to celebrate the “reopening” of Los Angeles County nightlife on June 15. Rolling Stone actually interviewed Hawkins at his L.A. home that June morning, at which time he confessed that he was “really nervous” about the intimate club gig. “I have major stage fright, major, major, major. Like today is like, I’m in hell right now,” he said. Hawkins also mentioned that he had sleep apnea and an enlarged heart (or “a runner’s heart”) and was “trying really hard to figure out how to continue to keep the intensity of a young man in a 50-year-old’s body, which is very difficult.” However, he assured the publication that he’d recently had “everything checked” by a doctor and was told he was in “amazing shape.”

He should have been a stand-up comedian.

HULU has decided to end the show with its upcoming third season, and will come out June 15!

I’m so sad about this. I loved the first season, but only liked the second, however I still liked it. But I had a feeling it wouldn’t last long because season 2 didn’t generate the buzz and attention the first one did, so I assume not as many people were watching it.

Shame, it’s a fun show. But the first season was so cute and charming.

Well?

I live just north of NYC and Saturday and Sunday are going to be HOT 🥵- with temperatures of 94 degrees on Saturday and 92 degrees on Sunday.

I can take some comfort in knowing that by Tuesday the high temperature will only be in the upper 60's.

Rapper Lil Keed has died at age 24.

The popular Atlanta rapper (real name: Raqhid Jevon Render) was signed to Young Thug’s Young Slime Life record label. His passing was confirmed by Complex.

“Can’t believe I seened u die today bro I did all my cries,” Lil Keed's brother Lil Gotit wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of the two. “I know what u want me to do and that’s go hard for Mama Daddy Our Brothers Naychur and Whiteboy.”

Gotit continued on his Instagram Story, posting a look at his sad face along with several crying emojis, as well as "Whyyy bra, whyyy u leave me bra.”

On Saturday, Gotit added, "All gas no brakes no playin, I got you Keed."

Quanda Bandz, Lil Keed's girlfriend and mother of their daughter Naychur, also shared a lengthy post in his honor. Along with a series of videos, which included the two drinking champagne in the bathtub, partying together, and sharing the positive results of her pregnancy test, Bandz expressed her sadness at losing Keed.

"I love you sooooo much baby... I can’t breathe right sleep right nothing I don’t even wanna talk to nobody. What am I supposed to tell Naychur? What am I gone tell our new baby? Keed I just told you the other day if you left me with these two kids I was gone loose my mind," she wrote. "My Mind is lost baby."

In a follow-up post on Saturday, Quanda Bandz continued, sharing her disappointment that Keed will never meet their unborn child. While they broke up several times, they always made their way back to each other and were excited to start planning their child's sex reveal.

"We knew we was meant to be with each other because we made our way back with each other months later... You the air I breathe I'm your air," she shared. "Daddy I love you baby WE NEED YOU DADDY."

Bandz expressed regret at not being there when he died. However, further explanation of Keed's death was not provided.

"I'm sooooo sorry I didn't fly to LA I know I could've saved you baby you really showed me all you needed was MY LOVE you gave me that I gave you that. IM SORRY please just tell me this a dream come home. YOU PROTECTED US. Whyyyy DADDY," Bandz posted.

Keed had high hopes for stardom. In a 2020 interview with XXL, he shared he was actively pursuing fame.

"My goal and my intentions for my future? I wanna be a megastar," Keed told XXL. "I don't wanna be no superstar...I wanna try to be past Prince and Michael Jackson and 'em. And I know I can do it as long as I stay committed to what I'm doing."

"Off The Minnesota Strip" (1980)

I just binged the first episodes of the new season 2. Some of these people on the show are ridiculous. What’s also shocking is some of the results.

-SPOILERS-

What really got me was the dumb rave boy getting to the final 2. WHAT? Then there was the black guy who eliminated a woman because he doesn’t like bees when the other woman was worse. Also, this woman Elyssa had a thing for one of the other contestants, Will, and he returned the attraction. She went on about how handsome he is, but he wasn’t even that attractive! In another episode there’s this Latino gay guy who attacks a stay at home mother for not having a job (he was great at the game tho). He clearly had some sort of alliance with the dumb guy across from him who seemed enamored with him and they took each other to final 2.

Here's something pretty to look at while we discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of various HGTV shows and personalities.

Which of their nine songs to crack the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 is their best?

I say it is their biggest one, still known today, and their second #1, “Alone”. It’s a classic and the epitome of mid-late 80s pop music. It is pretty much the perfect example of an 80s pop song.

Why did they have no more success post-1990?

Every report I've seen on this issue points out how minorities are particularly affected.

Why?

Why would it not be just as much of a problem for non-minorities?

Reviews are good.

A national gas station chain is reprogramming its pumps in Washington state to accommodate $10-a-gallon fuel, it has been revealed.

The move by 76 comes as the nation's average gasoline price soars to $4.57-a-gallon, almost twice the $2.41 average during Trump's last month in office.

A spokesperson for '76' gas stations confirmed that the national chain has begun reconfiguring its pumps to 'make room' for the possibility of double-digit prices, The Post Millennial reported.

The spokesperson for '76' did not comment on whether the company is expecting prices to reach $10.00-a-gallon, The Post Millennial said.

Meanwhile, other gas stations in the state have begun running out of gas as supplies become crunched, with reports saying at least 10 stations have run dry.

In January, 2021, the last month of Donald Trump's presidency, gas prices across the nation averaged $2.41-a-gallon, with some states charging averages under $2-a-gallon.

Those prices have steadily climbed since Biden was elected in November, 2020, skyrocketing earlier this year after Russia invaded the Ukraine. Gas prices are up by at least 27 per cent from the day before Russia began their invasion.

The war in Ukraine coupled with rising inflation of 8.3 percent are the main culprits why drivers are spending more than $100 to fill up on full tank of regular unleaded gas in nearly a third of the country.

Last week President Biden reportedly cancelled oil deals in Alaska effecting a 1 million acre tract of drillable land.

Rep. Jim Jordan, a republican representing Ohio, tweeted incredulity in response.

'Joe Biden just canceled a 1-million-plus acre oil lease in Alaska. It's like they're intentionally trying to have high gas prices.'

Today's gas prices are the worst in US history, with the previous record of $4.11-a-gallon in July 2008 being left in the dust in March, according to AAA. That record does not factor in adjustments for inflation, which would set the record national average at around $5.25-a-gallon.

This article has a bad statement: “The consumer is challenged,” said Megan Horneman, chief investment officer at Verdence Capital Advisors. “We started to see at the end of the year that consumers were turning to credit cards to pay for the rise in food prices, rise in energy prices, and that’s actually gotten much worse.”

Poor people paying for basics on credit is like 2006.

SIMULTANEOUS EVENTS: A National Abortion Ban coinciding with a National Shortage in Baby Formula Production. Republicans are now going to force women to carry their fetuses to full-term birth, but then allow these greedy, right-wing, highly-subsidized corporations to slow down production of the baby formula necessary to sustain these babies' lives.

Yep. Sounds about right. Talk about a strong case for nationalizing food production.

A New Hampshire man and his wife have been arrested and charged with the murder of the wife’s lover. According to the Keene Sentinel, 30-year-old Armando Barron had discovered that his wife, 31-year-old Britany Barron, was having an affair with 25-year-old Jonathan Amerault on September 19, 2020, after going through her phone. He then forced her to participate in the man’s murder and decapitation, according to police.

Armando Barron lured his wife’s lover to Annett State Forest in Rindge, in southern New Hampshire, using her cellphone. After Amerault arrived, Barron assaulted him, according to an affidavit cited by the Sentinel. Barron then ordered his wife to shoot Amerault, but she refused; however, she capitulated when he ordered her to slit Amerault’s wrists. Armando Barron then shot Amerault, according to the Sentinel.

The Massachusetts Department of Education has decided that underage students who do not wish to change in locker rooms or share a bathroom with a trans classmate due to biological sex differences should seek counseling. In addition, the Massachusetts DOE also noted that concerns for their safety are not a reason to prevent trans students from picking whichever bathrooms and/or locker rooms they feel like using based on their gender identity. Cases cited included a 7-year-old trans-second-grade student, which has led many to question if not only is this stance harmful to natural-born females, but also to children being transitioned before they are old enough to fully understand the biological and psychological consequences of trying to force the human body to be something it is not.

Influential Republicans in Washington and among the nationwide party elite are having a belated "oh s--t" moment over the previously unimaginable prospect that Kathy Barnette could win their party's nomination for the open Senate seat in Pennsylvania.

Why it matters: In Barnette, who's been soaring in the polls ahead of Tuesday's primary, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell would be dealing with a general election candidate who'd be an opposition researcher's dream — potentially endangering the GOP effort to take back the Senate.

McConnell has been fixated on ensuring the 2022 midterms are not a repeat of the 2012 or 2010 cycles. The Kentuckian said Republicans missed good chances to win the majority in those years because they nominated candidates who talked about things like "legitimate rape" or had to publicly assure voters they weren't witches. Barnette’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Barnette has surged after releasing a powerful video — "It wasn't a choice. It was a life." — in which she movingly talks about how her mother was raped when she was 11 and yet Barnette is the living, breathing byproduct of that horrific circumstance.

The video's hit a nerve with primary voters in Pennsylvania, a source close to one of Barnette's rivals told Axios, and gained resonance following the leak of a draft Supreme Court decision that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Barnette is also the uncommon Black Republican candidate. At the same time, a cursory review of her Twitter account, @Kathy4Truth, turned up tweets like this one: "Just confronted a Muslim today."

She joins Missouri Senate candidate Eric Greitens — whose alleged misdeeds are numerous and graphic — on a list of potential Republican Senate nominees giving heartburn to GOP leadership. They not only create the potential of blowing winnable seats but being unmanageable for McConnell should he return as Senate majority leader next year. Between the lines: The past few days have brought a wild scramble to destroy Barnette. Republican operatives were late to awaken to her political chances.

Most had pegged Pennsylvania's Senate race as a two-man battle between celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO and Army veteran David McCormick.

Oz and McCormick — and their outside operations — have spent millions nuking each other with vicious commercials saturating Pennsylvania television. Oz has attacked McCormick as soft on China, and McCormick has hit Oz for his past comments that are supportive of abortion and gun control. That two-man ad war has hurt both candidates and provided a rare opportunity for Barnette to sneak up, ignored and untouched. Neither rival nor their backers have put serious money on TV to promote her history of comments that would ordinarily disqualify a candidate in a general election, if not a Republican primary.

NEW YORK (AP) — A racist ideology seeping from the internet's fringes into the mainstream is being investigated as a motivating factor in the supermarket shooting that killed 10 people in Buffalo, New York. Most of the victims were Black.

Ideas from the “great replacement theory" filled a racist screed supposedly posted online by the white 18-year-old accused of targeting Black people in Saturday's rampage. Authorities were still working to confirm its authenticity.

Certainly, there was no mistaking the racist intent of the shooter.

WHAT IS THE ‘GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY'?

Simply put, the conspiracy theory says there's a plot to diminish the influence of white people.

Believers say this goal is being achieved both through the immigration of nonwhite people into societies that have largely been dominated by white people, as well as through simple demographics, with white people having lower birth rates than other populations.

The conspiracy theory's more racist adherents believe Jews are behind the so-called replacement plan: White nationalists marching at a Charlottesville, Virginia, rally that turned deadly in 2017 chanted “You will not replace us!” and “Jews will not replace us!”

A more mainstream view in the U.S. baselessly suggests Democrats are encouraging immigration from Latin America so more like-minded potential voters replace “traditional” Americans, says Mark Pitcavage, senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism.

WHAT ARE THIS CONSPIRACY THEORY'S ORIGINS?

How long has racism existed? Broadly speaking, the roots of this “theory” are that deep. In the U.S., you can point to efforts to intimidate and discourage Black people from voting — or, in antagonists' view, “replacing” white voters at the polls — that date to the Reconstruction era, after the 15th Amendment made clear suffrage couldn't be restricted on account of race.

In the modern era, most experts point to two influential books. “The Turner Diaries,” a 1978 novel written by William Luther Pierce under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald, is about a violent revolution in the United States with a race war that leads to the extermination of nonwhites.

The FBI called it a “bible of the racist right,” says Kurt Braddock, an American University professor and researcher at the Polarization and Extremism Research & Innovation Lab.

Renaud Camus, a French writer, published a 2011 book claiming that Europe was being invaded by Black and brown immigrants from Africa. He called the book “Le Grand Remplacement,” and a conspiracy's name was born.

WHO ARE ITS ADHERENTS?

To some of the more extreme believers, certain white supremacist mass killers — at a Norway summer camp in 2011, two Christchurch, New Zealand, mosques in 2019, a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018, a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2017 — are considered saints, Pitcavage says.

Those “accelerationist white supremacists” believe small societal changes won't achieve much, so the only option is tearing down society, he says.

The Buffalo shooter’s purported written diatribe and some of the methods indicate he closely studied the Christchurch shooter — particularly the effort to livestream his rampage. According to apparent screenshots from the Buffalo broadcast, the shooter inscribed the number 14 on his gun, which Pitcavage says is shorthand for a 14-word white supremacist slogan.

A written declaration by the Christchurch shooter was widely spread online. If the message attributed to the Buffalo shooter proves authentic, it's designed to also spread his philosophy and methods to a large audience.

IS THE THEORY MAKING WIDER INROADS?

While more virulent forms of racism are widely abhorred, experts are concerned about extreme views nonetheless becoming mainstream.

In a poll released last week, The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 1 in 3 Americans believe an effort is underway to replace U.S.-born Americans with immigrants for electoral gain.

He (she?) had no picture in the profile but sent me a wet beaver shot. And I asked “can you at least send me a face picture first?” To which he replied “I’m discreet.”

I mean, wow. You’re a fucking tranny. How discreet can you possibly be?

Why would anyone care what two consenting adults do behind closed doors? Or feel laws had to be created to deal with them?

Foster Van Lear, a 16-year-old TikTok personality from Atlanta, has posted videos of himself kissing guy friends on the cheek. “Everyone is fluid and so men have become less hesitant about physical stuff,” he said.Devin Oktar Yalkin for The New York Times Connor Robinson, a 17-year-old British TikTok star with rosy cheeks and a budding six-pack, has built a large following by keeping his fans thirsty. Between the daily drip of shirtless dance routines and skits about his floppy hair, Mr. Robinson posts sexually suggestive curve balls that, he said, “break some barriers.”

In an eight-second video set to a lewd hip-hop track by the Weeknd, he and a fellow teenage boy, Elijah Finney, who calls himself Elijah Elliot, filmed themselves in a London hotel room, grinding against each other as if they’re about to engage in a passionate make-out session. The video ends with Mr. Robinson pushed against the tiled wall.

But as racy as the video is, fans are under no pretense that the two are in the throes of gay puppy love. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Finney identify as heterosexual, but as some TikTok influencers have discovered, man-on-man action is a surefire way to generate traffic. Uploaded in February, the video has gotten more than 2.2 million views and 31,000 comments (lots of fire and heart emojis).

“Normally, I do jokey dance videos and stuff like that, but it seems like things have kind of changed now,” Mr. Robinson said from his bedroom in Cumbria, England, which is painted forest green to stand out on TikTok. He estimates that 90 percent of his nearly one million followers are female. “Girls are attracted to two attractive guy TikTokers with massive followings showing a sexual side with each other,” he said.

Connor Robinson, left, a British TikTok star, posted this racy video with Elijah Elliot on his feed in February.   Gay and bi-curious male followers are welcome, too. “If watching my videos makes you happy and stuff, that’s cool,” he added. As devotees of TikTok’s young male stars know, Mr. Robinson’s hotel seduction video is veering toward becoming a modern-day cliché. The youth-oriented social media platform is rife with videos showing ostensibly heterosexual young men spooning in cuddle-puddle formation, cruising each other on the street while walking with their girlfriends, sharing a bed, going in for a kiss, admiring each other’s chiseled physiques and engaging in countless other homoerotic situations served up for humor and, ultimately, views.

Feigning gay as a form of clickbait is not limited to small-fry TikTok creators trying to grow their audience. Just look at the hard-partying Sway Boys, who made national headlines this summer for throwing raucous get-togethers at their 7,800-square-foot Bel Air estate in violation of Los Angeles’s coronavirus guidelines.Scrolling through the TikTok feeds of the group’s physically buff members can feel as if you’re witnessing what would happen if the boys of Tiger Beat spent an uninhibited summer in Fire Island Pines. There is a barrage of sweaty half-naked workouts, penis jokes, playful kisses and lollipop sharing.

huh?

Not dark energy in a hocus-pocus way—rather, I mean celebrities that may appear relatively "normal" by most standards, but there seems to be something off about them, presumably stemming from dark shit in their past/personal/family life that has gone largely unspoken. I get this vibe from both Michelle Pfeiffer and Michelle Williams. Williams's facial expressions in particular have always resembled those of a vacant cult member who was locked in a sex dungeon for 20 years.

TMZ has the video of him being arrested back in March. He's a total dick. Recording police (as NFT crypto art), screaming at them to give their name and badge numbers, accusing an officer of touching his dick when you can clearly see he isn't, and then yelling that he's trans non-binary and demanding not to be searched by a male police officer

I think my favourite part is him claiming he followed the police officer's orders to get out of the road - while he's standing in the middle of the road

How not to start a Carol Alt thread:

1) WHET to Carol Alt? Is she dead?

Not amusing to use Datalounge lexis so lazily. A 10 second search would give you basic information to start a decent thread.

2) Carol was NEVER a supermodel! There, I said it.

This is a horrible turnoff of a thread-opener. It's a classic troll. Of course, trolling statements get responses on Datalounge. But it's just not friendly to DLers, or to Carol Alt!

3) Which is Carol Alt's greatest achieventment? A) riding the hottest, thickest hockey player cocks, B) pulling down top dollar for the Noxzema campaign, or C) starring in Snakehead Terror??

This is just mean.

This is a nice thread opener:

Why is Timothée forced upon us instead of this?

I am watching the cutting edge “Duchess of Duke Street,” about a 1900 apprentice chef rising up through the business ranks, from mistress of the Prince of Wales to owner of a fancy hotel.

Not to reveal spoilers, but around 1902 the prince grants her a long lease on a London townhouse (you call them rowhouses) at the beginning of their affair, which she later sells to use as capital to buy the lease on the remaining 60 years left on a 90 year lease of a hotel. Then when she’s in dire straits a gentleman friend gives her 1,500 pounds to buy the remaining time on this lease from her. He’ll have his own suite at the hotel and the heroine can otherwise keep running the place.

So, if you wanted to lease a house in London did you give all the money for the years of the lease up front, and then there’s no more monthly/quarterly/yearly rent due? I guess you took over the building’s upkeep and repairs, but who paid the property taxes? When did this system shift, or is it still in place?

It’s all very foreign to an average American like me. Lease agreements also figure in stories like “Howard’s End” and it’s always kind of murky from this end.

I ran across this on YouTube - at first I thought it was merely a reaction video to the Florence Ballard episode of "Unsung", but imagine my surprise when this woman went off on Diana Ross, telling her "I ain't afraid of you, bitch" and then proceeds to demonstrate how easy it is to imitate Diana, by singing 'Baby Love', pointing out that the songs written for Diana's lead vocal were not difficult because "there wasn't much to work with." This lady should be an honorary DL'er, or at least a Flo-bot.

A home in northern California, a doctor for a husband, twin daughters.

But he carried a secret, police say: He’d killed a man back in Kansas City.

His past recently caught up with him. Stephenson was arrested in California and extradited to Benton County, Missouri, where nearly a quarter-century ago the decomposing body of 26-year-old Randy Oliphant was discovered in the woods outside Warsaw.

Hello dears! "she makes unexpected trip to Paddington Station to officially open the new Elizabeth Line - days after calling off State Opening visit due to 'mobility issues'"

A lavish Bel Air mansion listed for $87.8 million reportedly received just half the asking price when it went to auction last week.

According to CNBC, the highest bid for the property was just under $45.8 million—around 52% of the mammoth asking price.

The mansion, located at 777 Sarbonne Road in Bel Air, Calif., was auctioned online by Concierge Auctions earlier this month.

On top of its seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and “dramatic views of Los Angeles,” the property boasts a range of unique features including a retractable hydraulic DJ table, a feng shui koi pond, and a glass elevator.

The house also comes complete with an infinity pool, a two-bedroom guesthouse, and an underground wine cellar.

While the sale is pending, the auction house is still accepting backup bids.

The buyer of the property will pay a 5% buyer’s premium on top of the final price, according to the listing.

If it does go through at the current price, it would be the fourth most expensive home to ever sell at auction. ‘Horrible, horrible, horrible’

The property’s seller, celebrity dermatologist and developer Alex Khadavi, told CNBC the auction results were “horrible, horrible, horrible."

"Nobody told me this thing’s going to go below, below this level,” he added.

Back in April, he told the Wall Street Journal the property would sell for more than its $50 million reserve price.

However, with the highest bid apparently coming in around $4.2 million under Khadavi’s reserve price, this has left both seller and agent highly disappointed.

“Honestly, I’m not happy,” co-listing agent Aaron Kirman of Compass told CNBC. “We wanted more.”

Although sellers aren’t usually obligated to accept a bid below the reserve, this sale may be forced to go ahead as part of Khadavi’s bankruptcy proceedings, and therefore was auctioned under more complex circumstances than a regular sale.

Khadavi is now reportedly racing to find another buyer who could offer more than the auction’s highest bid.

A spokesperson for Concierge Auctions was not available for comment when contacted by Fortune, but the company’s president, Chad Roffers, offered this statement to CNBC: “With over 80 qualified showings in the last 60 days, we are confident market value was delivered.”

While some arrivals at this year's Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City were greeted with a lot of fanfare, one treasured object arrived undercover, amid great secrecy, from a museum warehouse outside Washington, D.C.: the coat that Abraham Lincoln was wearing on April 14, 1865, the night he was assassinated at Ford's Theatre. It arrived with a police escort.

"It's slightly an out-of-body experience to realize that this was worn by President Lincoln, and the circumstances in which it was worn," said Andrew Bolton, head curator of the Met's Costume Institute. "It's just incredibly meaningful and very emotional, I think."

The coat is part of the Met's new exhibit, "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," which illuminates the complex history of our country through clothing

"Sometimes the most moving stories are stories that are untold," Bolton told correspondent Faith Salie. "And this story, for many people, will be an untold story."

Untold and unseen, as well. Shortly after her husband's death, Mary Todd Lincoln gave the coat to their beloved doorman, Alphonse Donn, whose family kept it for over a century, before bequeathing it to Ford's Theatre in 1968.

The coat, created by Brooks Brothers for Lincoln's second inauguration, has never before left the D.C. area, and is rarely shown to the public in order to protect its fragile nature.

What's not on display is an embroidered message in the coat's lining: "The inside of the coat is very meaningful because it has the inscription, 'One country, one destiny,' which came from a speech from one of Lincoln's heroes. So, it has this very personal message for Lincoln."

"And how symbolic for a man who had to probably carry such a complicated inner life," said Salie.

"Absolutely And it was obviously something that he spoke to Brooks Brothers about, and Brooks Brothers came up with the lining."

Perhaps the most moving aspect of the coat is the part that's not there: the lining that was soaked in Lincoln's blood. "The sleeve has been severed because of the lining that has been cut away for relics, and sold as relics," said Bolton. "So, the sort of gruesomeness and the sadness and the pathos of this particular piece all comes out when you see it."

Salie said, "It makes you remember there was a human being in this."

"I think often when you see clothing, the absence of the body sometimes is more poetic than the presence of the body," said Bolton. "You walk around the exhibition and you look at the George Washington coat, or the coat worn by an enslaved man, the absence of that body somehow gives it almost more potency, I think."

Whew, it's bad. And a completely fucked up timeline. I had high hopes, but this ain't it.

I was watching the movie "Big Fish" and Alison Lohman appears as the younger version of Jessica Lange's character. I decided to Google her out of curiosity and holy shit...she's nuts. In addition to not appearing in anything since 2016, she's a COVID denying anti-vaxxer.

We all know about Sean Young, Britney Spears, Brendad Ickson, Charlie Sheen, and othere. But I'm curious about other celebrities who might fly under the radar.

PART 1: So, one of my friends informed me a few days ago that my ex-bf (significantly younger, lives abroad) pushed a poetry book online (visibly under the gay poetry category), and that the guy on the cover looked "an awful lot like" me. She sent me a screenshot of it, and I realized that it was a photo of me taken by my ex a few months prior to our break-up.

The photo was heavily manipulated, and my face was replaced with a human skull, to either make me look like a monster or to make sure that I wouldn't be able to sue him for it. I can't be recognized by association, so I'm able to put it out there with ease of mind. But my hair, jawline, neck, and ears were kept almost intact -other than the overall smudge(?) effect- to the extent that one of my close friends immediately recognized me the moment she saw it. She'd also read the book to see if he revealed my identity in it, and he didn't plainly, but the closing poem was apparently made entirely of our text messages.

I downloaded the book to secure it as evidence in case he removed it from Kindle, and skipped to the end. There it was, a shitty poem in which he put together a hefty number of my farewell messages together, edited & recreated some sentences to combine them into some sort of a narrative letter in which I poetically (??) explained to him in detail why I was leaving him. He wasn't being subtle about it either as he named the poem "your last messages to me, unrecognizable", and it couldn't be further away from the truth. Even though he "allegedly" rendered them unrecognizable, they literally, in every way, matched the ones I'd sent him on iMessage at the time.

There were even reviews from some people we both knew while we dated, and a few of them were not faint in letting everyone know that the book "perfectly" encapsulated what it was like to date a narcissist & sociopath and even made snarky comments about how they knew who it was the book talked about. It was clear that he asked them to read the book because none of those simpletons had ever mentioned even touching a book in their lives.

I immediately contacted Amazon's customer service, even pulled some strings, and had them remove the book. But it was back up online again the next morning as, clearly, the little bitch appealed to the take-down or republished it. The comments from people we mutually knew were gone at least, but this isn't exactly solving my problem. I also enlisted the help of friends in reporting his Twitter account as spam until it was put on hold, and we were successful. He got a new account, which is irrelevant because he now has zero followers.

And his legs work!

Ukrainians to Russia: "You bitches want Chernobyl? Take it, it's your fucking expensive financial black hole for all eternity now!"

Seriously, Russia made a HUGE stupid mistake by taking over Chernobyl. When this is all over, Ukraine should REFUSE to take Chernobyl back. Since Russia is so proud of being the Soviet Union's successor state & Putin wants to re-establish it, and it was ultimately the Soviet bureaucracy that created the problem at Chernobyl in the first place, let Russia pay the annual cleanup costs there from now on.

Rather than wait for Monkeypox to spread throughout the community, we should push for the Smallpox vaccine to be unlocked for at-risk groups.

We know how this will play out, it’ll rip through the gay community, and the straights will make us out to be disgusting vectors of disease to be avoided, even as they spread COVID to each other. Someone here must have connections at an LGBT Health Center or some other organization that can push the vaccine agenda along. Let’s not GRID again.

And I especially love all of the new places I’m discovering in Southern California.

Yesterday, I spent the day in Arroyo Seco Park, and it was just perfect and lovely.

I met hikers, people on horseback, skate boarders, dog people, golfers. You name it, people were out and about enjoying their weekend with their family and friends, or pets!

We are so fortunate to live here (those of us who do), and we’re facing challenges with homelessness, yes. But we are also thriving economically, on the other end of the spectrum.

What I love about Cali, are things like our national parks, county /city parks, our well planned new highways and transportation platforms.

Our museums are well kept, and we are such an innovative state.

Living somewhere, where you may access mountains, deserts, valleys and beaches, all within hours of each destination, is awesome.

I’m really grateful to live in the most beautiful and amazing state of all of America.

We are fortunate AF, Bitches!!!

Rejoice!

Your stepmom knows him from The Blue Lagoon, but your gay uncle knows Christopher Atkins from this forgotten sex romp about a sexually-frustrated professor (Lesley Ann Warren) with a crush on her charismatic young student. The crush is amplified when she discovers his night job as a stripper, and their magnetism is undeniable.

In this scene, they discover each other at the nightclub and he playfully gives her more than an eyeful.

Chris isn't quite the hunk at 60 that he was back then, but he definitely had his era, did he not?

Was she considered a great beauty/top supermodel back in the day? Why did she have such a tragic ending? I watched a documentary about the family and her sister Mariel was callously cruel about Margaux, going as far as calling her stupid and saying she used to be embarrassed to be associated with her. Even if true, it seemed so unnecessarily cruel.

Any time.

I am watching “When we First Met” and this question popped in my head

Megan Fox won't let anything get in her way of having a good time with fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly.

Monday morning, the actress, 36, shared an Instagram slideshow of photos and videos, which show her rocking a sparkly blue jumpsuit while in Las Vegas for the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.

It was also in the carousel that Fox revealed she had to alter the ensemble to participate in a certain NSFW activity with Kelly, 32. In a screen grab of a text message thread, the Jennifer's Body star asked her stylist: "Was this blue outfit expensive because we just cut a hole in the crotch so we could have sex?"

In response, her stylist wrote: "I hate you" alongside three laughing emojis, before adding, "I'll fix it."

Fox and Kelly — who met while filming their movie Midnight in the Switchgrass — announced their engagement in January.

Kelly delivered a special performance at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday night, where he hit the stage and dedicated his song, "Twin Flame," to Fox. "I wrote this song for my wife," he said, sparking speculation the couple tied the knot.

Near the end of his emotional performance, Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, took a moment to announce another dedication, saying: "And this is for our unborn child."

"Go to sleep / I'll see you in my dreams / This changes everything / Now I have to set you free," he sang, as the sound of a heartbeat followed shortly after.

Kelly tweeted about the ballad after the award show, writing that it "broke my heart to sing the end of that song." He added in a second tweet: "i recorded twin flame 2 years ago today, the second half came a year later. beautifully serendipitous getting to sing it for you tonight."

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet of the BBMAs, the star revealed he had played the moving track for Fox when he first wrote it.

"It's like it's all meant to be," he said. Added Fox, who has often referred to her beau as her twin flame: "There's like super special secret meaning to the song as well. So I'm sure I will be [emotional], but I can't cry and f--- up this eyeliner."

In their first joint interview as a couple, Fox called MGK her "twin flame" and said that they had felt an instant connection on set.

"I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame," she said at the time on the Give Them Lala ... With Randall podcast. "Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So we're actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away."

Nicklaus: “But this move is cancel culture. Donald Trump may be a lot of things, but he loves golf and he loves this country. He’s a student of the game and a formidable figure in the game. What he does in the future in golf will depend on what the cancel culture will allow him to do.”

Nicklaus has won 18 majors, the most in history. He also endorsed Trump ahead of the 2020 election.

Suck it Nicklaus. The PGA pulled the tour out of Bedminster because Trump is a liar, fraud, criminal and insurrectionist. And you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting him.

The man is so lackluster, sedate, bland, and weak. He can’t even speak without reading from a prepared speech. When was the last time he even headlined the news? Why not replace him with Klobachur, Warner, or Booker?

And whatever happened to the drug cheating figure skaters?

She’s too old. Too abrasive. And just not the Patti we loved. Time to retire and let a new Patti have her turn.

Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette marched with members of a right-wing extremist group prior to the violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to footage recently unearthed on social media.

The photos and video showing Barnette marching alongside the Proud Boys originally surfaced on Sunday via writer Chad Loder’s Twitter account. On Monday, the photos were verified by NBC News.

Responding to NBC News, Barnette’s campaign said, “Kathy was in DC to support President Trump and demand election accountability. Any assertion that she participated in or supported the destruction of property is intentionally false. She has no connection whatsoever to the proud boys.”

Over the last week, Barnette has surged into contention for the race to fill the seat of retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey. After months trailing two well-funded candidates, Dr. Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick, Barnette has recently closed the gap and is seen as a top contender for the nomination.

Karl Racine, the attorney general of Washington, D.C., is suing the Proud Boys for its involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. “Our intent is to hold these violent mobsters and these violent hate groups accountable and to get every penny of damage that we can,” Racine said in December.

The pro-Trump group’s leader, Enrique Tarro, was arrested in March on conspiracy charges related to the insurrection. Five other Proud Boys associates were also charged for their alleged connections to the Jan. 6 violence.

Barnette has been a prominent promoter of election conspiracy theories, including organizing buses to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the violence at the Capitol. She has contended that there were irregularities in her own 2020 House race for a safe Democratic district, which she lost by 19 points to Rep. Madeleine Dean.

Barnette is a close political ally of Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, the frontrunner for the GOP’s gubernatorial nomination. Mastriano was also in Washington on Jan. 6 and was subpoenaed by the congressional committee investigating the events of that day.

National Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have warned that Barnette would prove unelectable if she’s the GOP nominee this November. Her detractors note that she has a history of making Islamophobic and homophobic comments and has refused to clarify pieces of her biography, even to conservative outlets.

But Barnette, having run her campaign so far on a shoestring budget, recently received the backing of the Club for Growth, an anti-tax organization that is now running $2 million in TV ads for her. She also received the endorsement of the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group.

In addition, Steve Bannon, the far-right media personality and sometime Trump adviser, embraced Barnette on his podcast on May 9.

“Barnette is a true-blue MAGA candidate and her victory would be a message from the grassroots that they want candidates who are dependably MAGA more than they want candidates who Trump endorsed,” Bannon’s website said.

Part of me wants to stan her more than I do. I feel like what's keeping me from doing so is she seems like a basic white girl who likes to pretend to be a wild child.

Musically I've enjoyed a decent amount of her output. I think even musically she has this one foot in/one foot out thing. Some of her songs suggest a musical depth that make me want to hear more -- i.e. "Not Afraid Anymore", "Strangers", "Experiment on Me", "Nightmare" -- but then she'll turn around and do a lame ass soulless pop song with BTS or be up there singing "Shake It Off" with Taylor Swift and it's like, please ma'am you're blocking the entrance to Hot Topic.

Her last album was her most critically acclaimed but least commercially successful. So I'm guessing she's gonna right back to the Pop shit next go-round.

[quote]heterosexuals are an endangered species. A recent survey uncovered that 21% of young adults (born between 1997 and 2003) in America identify as “LGBTQ+”.

[…]

[quote]The powerful organs of the LGBTQ+ movement have spent the last decade saying, “let’s end stigma, break taboos, and stop judging”. What this actually means is “let’s move stigma, place taboos around other things, and carry on judging people but for different reasons”.

[quote]Who would want to be “normative”, when you can catch a little of the glamour previously hoarded by the gays? A “normative” identity is increasingly seen as ethically dubious in the West; to be socially acceptable, to gain cachet and status, people have to identify as some kind of minority. Race is increasingly rigidly policed and culturally segregated, with white people cast as original sinners because of what they look like. But fear not! Anybody can identify into some spicy high-status oppression at the drop of a rainbow-striped Stetson by claiming to be non-heterosexual, no questions asked.

[quote]At the further end of the culture, prominent heterosexuals such as Laurie Penny, Jameela Jamil and Demi Lovato now all claim to be “queer”. Heterosexuality now carries such low status, in their bananas world, that they’ve felt the need to disavow it.

[quote]There are further incentives for people to identify as non-hetero in Hollywood, the arbiter of our culture. Take the bizarre new “representation” quota for eligibility at the Oscars — where at least 30% of characters in a film must come from “underrepresented minority groups” or a main storyline must revolve around such groups or it won’t even be considered for an award. It would strike dead most of human culture accrued over millennia, but actors and writers must now obey this peculiar edict or lose their careers.

[quote]It’s all deeply patronising, and borderline homophobic. There is a kind of fetishisation of non-hetero relationships going on here, an element of voyeurism not much different from straight girls who kiss each other at parties to get the boys’ attention. It is also artistically crass. It means that unalloyed heterosexuality can never be depicted, and has a trickle-down effect of making it culturally unacceptable.

[quote]It’s no coincidence that all this is happening where #MeToo came to a head — making heterosexuality seem not only embarrassing but frankly dangerous. But Hollywood is also representative of a wider social movement.

[…]

[quote]Let me be clear, I’m not blaming heterosexuals for their current predicament; I am blaming the culture that’s increasingly scattering obstacles in their path. When I encounter a functioning straight couple nowadays, I want to cheer.

[quote]Because at a very basic level, heterosexuality is of major importance, as the great motor of humanity. Without it, nobody would exist. It is deeply foolish to ignore or wish away the material reality, and the importance, of heterosexuality, and wrong to judge different kinds of straight relationships entered into by choice. There is nothing wrong with traditional straight couples and nothing wrong with progressive straight couples. They don’t matter more than the rest of us, but they matter in a different and significant way. And they are, let us not forget, the majority.

[quote]Shame about innocuous things is dangerous. As a gay man (sorry) who came of age in the Eighties, I know that only too well. It should not be so boring or gauche to be heterosexual that people are desperate to deny it. So let us have more heteronormativity and end the stigma. Take it from a homosexual, you’re just fine as you are.

Yes they’re annoying, but they add to your experience on DL.

I actually enjoyed John/PMBT’s posts. They were ridiculous but entertaining.

What do girls see in him? He doesn't sing, he's a white guy who speaks in Ebonics, why would any respectable girl want to be seen with him?

And yet, he has the number 1 song in the US currently, "First Class," which is basically a cover of Fergie's "Glamorous."

This guy is nothing but pure trash. Please, keep the Ebonics in the ghetto where it belongs.

Kim Kardashian is implying that her ex-husband Kris Humphries is gay by jokingly saying that she hasn’t been to a gay wedding “since her second marriage”. Well, her second marriage was to Kris and he’s reacted to Kim’s subtle shade.

According to Kris, he’s tired of Kim Kardashian questioning his s*xuality. Kris hit back at Kim telling her to move on since that marriage didn’t survive via TNT;

In the latest episode The Kardashians, Kim, joked she hadn’t been to a gay wedding “since my second wedding.” Kim continues saying, “I love a gay wedding”. The former couple divorced in 2011. Humphries was forced to swat away speculation that the reason for the demise of their marriage was because Kardashian began to question her husband’s heterosexuality when, after their Italian honeymoon, his interest in sex began to fade.

A source close to Kris says, “Kris has moved on,”. “He does not understand why Kim continues to think he’s gay. It’s infuriating. Kim needs to move on, just like he has. She really should not drag his name through the mud after all of these years.”

And do other dudes use it at your gym?

I don't how common the casing couch thing is. But I remember a producer named Chris Hanley saying that on every project he worked on, the main female slept with either the director or lead actor.

Even when there's no sex involved in getting cast, there's always interesting/weird/ruthless shit going down.

All I know is it’s from Kristen Bjorn. TIA.

Yes, I think we all know about paella and jamon.

But what else?

You never hear about it.

Thibault de Montalembert -- not traditionally handsome but sexy as all hell. And Fanny Sidney who plays his daughter is simply adorable.

Anyone else noticed his rightward drift? I know there are not many fans here to begin with, but he seems to becoming an apologist for the extreme Right Wing.

I'm surprised she's not a bigger trainwreck considering some of the awful people she has worked with and all those edgy/sleazy movies she did as a teenager in the 90s.

This entire statement makes no sense.

A few months ago the comment was something like since you opened a new card your number is lower.

Now I got this:

2 Time since most recent account opening is too short FICO® Scores consider how recently a person opened a new credit account as shown on their credit report. Your score was impacted because of the time since you opened a new account.

Let's say that Britney Spears agrees to an Ask Me Anything Q&A. What would you ask her? I'd ask her if she knows how to spell her name.

Derek Hough is bringing world and cultural dance styles to a bigger audience in a new National Geographic series!

The dancer and choreographer will be starring in the upcoming Dance the World with Derek Hough, which will stream on Disney+, according to Deadline.

“I have been an avid fan of @natgeo as long as I can remember. My Dad had a massive collection until one day I unfortunately destroyed them all by cutting the Tigers and Lions out of them. What? I was making a collage on my wall. Sorry Dad, I promise one day I’ll replace them all🙏🏼,” Derek shared on Instagram. “Today is a very exciting day as my life long Love of Dance and National Geographic collide in a brand new show !!!”

Here’s a synopsis: Dance is the lifeblood of every culture. Dance is a global connective tissue that brings families and strangers alike together. I will be your guide on a journey to learn and discover the roots of the most popular dance styles and trends around the world from the cultures, environments and people who shaped them. In each episode, I will team up with a celebrity guest to uncover the origins and cultures that shaped the dance. Unleashed and inspired, every step in our adventure will culminate in a once-in-a-lifetime spectacular performance.

If you missed it, Dancing with the Stars is also heading to Disney+, but it’s currently unknown who...will be returning, from judges and host to the pros.

What’s the issue? If you don’t like it, don’t look at the image?

Are there any you all have found particularly compelling?

I tried to get into the German TV show Dark but could not despite so many loving it.

With so many streaming service we can now get product from all over the world.

Any suggestions?

I know today is Easter and the dead man jumps out of the grave so you can sin, so if it is quite onboard I will bump next week.

Which one of you did this?

2~3 times a year, and it doesn't matter vaccinated or not🙄

Is this meth? Fentanyl? Some combo of both?

Odd how you don't hear much reaction from people in the restaurant.

Will any Dataloungers find him attractive if he'd just take a good shower?
