You got the stage DL let em rip. We want to hear from you! The honest, crass, nicest, dumbest comments are all appreciated.

Did you love his music? I didn’t care for that salacious movie they made of him a year or two ago. In those days, homosexual men kept all their hairpins in place, as we used to say. There was no need to drag all that out in the open after his death.

Besides, he had many relationships with women, as most homosexuals used to.

She was reading an AP story about "tender age" shelters filling up with babies separated from their parents.

A new study led by a Belgian neurologist found that brain activity in transgender people resembles that found in cisgender people of their gender more than their sex assigned at birth.

Julie Bakker of the University of Liege led the research, which involved MRI scans of 160 transgender people diagnosed with gender dysphoria who were children and teenagers. The scans also measures brain microstructures using a technique called diffusion tensor imaging.

Their brain scans were compared to people of comparable age who were not diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The study found that transgender boys’ brain activity resembled cisgender boys’, and transgender girls’ brains resembled cisgender girls’.

The researchers said that their technique could be used to help transgender children at an earlier age.

“Although more research is needed, we now have evidence that sexual differentiation of the brain differs in young people with GD, as they show functional brain characteristics that are typical of their desired gender,” said Bakker.

“We will then be better equipped to support these young people, instead of just sending them to a psychiatrist and hoping that their distress will disappear spontaneously.”

The study’s results, which were presented at the European Society of Endocrinology’s meeting, fall in line with previous neurological studies that showed that transgender adults have similar brain structures to cisgender people of their gender.

LOL!

Cooking shows. I never liked them much because most people I know can cook better than me. Most peoples cookery impresses me. On the other hand my competitive spirit is brought out on the subject of art criticism. I hardly ever believe the would be cognoscenti since everyone claims to be that these days. Look at the crap that sells on Instagram and the lousy institutional art. I would love to be an art critic on a reality TV show.

I guess it’s never gonna end

Have you got any you'd like to share? I can't stand soups that take ages to make with tons of ingredients.

This pea soup that I'll link in my next post @ R1 - is my go-to for a fast soup. Under half an hour from scratch. Just double the portions. Who makes soup for one?...I also add fresh mint from my garden, which I add to the onions at the beginning and use a low fat creme fraiche...which I throw in at the end. Try it. You'll thank me.

Back to you...any great recipes?...but remember, quick and easy.

Actor Matthias Schoenaerts believes loyalty is the nicest gift you can give anyone.

The star stole hearts when he played the devoted Gabriel Oak in Far from the Madding Crowd in 2015. While he's currently single, he's a real softie at heart and doesn't rely on material goods to make other people feel special.

"Yes, I am a romantic, but not in the way of candlelit dinners," he revealed to Germany's Cosmopolitan magazine. "It's more that I treat things in a sensitive way. I believe loyalty is the nicest gift you can give anyone. It's worth more than a poem, a song or any other type of art."

With such a caring attitude, many people wonder how 38-year-old Matthias has managed to stay single. "Everyone always asks why I'm not taken!" he laughed.

While he's yet to find Mrs Right, the star has some idea of what he's looking for in a woman. He let fans in on how they'd be onto a winner with him.

"I need someone with a real passion for life; a person who's on a quest for truthfulness," he shared. "I find that incredibly attractive. They also need to be pretty independent, like a cat. If I could be any animal, I'd be a cat. They don't rely on anyone. In a relationship you have to trust each other - becoming dependent on one another isn't healthy. Also, cats don't 'have' to do anything - how great is that?"

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has called former Wham! star Andrew Ridgeley an "insufferable d**k" after the singer declined to speak at length about George Michael.

Ridgeley, 55, had appeared on the show to talk about completing a 1,800km charity bike ride across Europe, for which he raised £1m.

However, the interview quickly became awkward after Morgan probed him about his late bandmate and friend George Michael.

Asked how he dealt with Michael's death, a dignified Ridgeley responded: "I would imagine much like everyone else in a period of grief. It's a difficult adjustment and the loss of a great friend is traumatic and emotionally tough."

Attempting to steer things back to the main topic he added: "Almost as emotionally tough as doing the Dallaglio Cycle Slam."

When he finished speaking, Morgan continued to ask him about Michael and questioned why he didn't like talking about the past.

"I wasn't sure that was why I was here today to be honest with you," Ridgeley replied. "I'd much rather be discussing the Dallaglio Cycle Slam and its good work for people who haven't had privileges of you and I. I think that's a more worthy subject matter."

After the interview Morgan apologised to viewers for the "awkward" interaction and blamed it on Ridgeley's reluctance to talk about Michael.

"I never really understand why people come on if people don't want to talk about, whatever," he said. "If you were one of the biggest pop stars in the world, I imagine you would talk about it. If anyone was offended by me asking about pop music and Wham! stuff I can only not apologise."

He then tweeted: "My thanks to Andrew Ridgeley for being such an insufferable d**k today- much appreciated!"

At around the same time, the official Good Morning Britain Twitter account had congratulated Ridgeley for his contributions to charity.

A 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome was separated from her family while illegally entering the United States, Mexico’s Foreign Prime Minister Luis Videgaray told the Wall Street Journal in a report published Tuesday.

Videgaray mentioned the “heartbreaking case” while calling for the Trump administration to end its “cruel and inhumane” immigration policies of separating families at the southern border.

This morning went to a dealership to look at a car and the rear bumper was covered in scratches. I point this out and the salesman sales, "If you want a new cart you should buy a new car." I respond, "If I was going to buy new I wouldn't be at this place." He says, "Oh, you know what?" and then proceeded to walk away. A moment later the manager comes out and tells me to leave.

Yesterday afternoon went to look at a car at another dealership and the interior was filthy, like the previous owner was raising hogs in the car. The saleswoman says they'll detail the car after I buy it, (for a small charge.)

On Monday I went to look at a car, again at a dealership, and the salesman insisted on coming along for the test drive. We drove less than a kilometer and he announces that we should get back to the dealership to sign the paperwork. I ignore him and keep driving and suddenly the engine starts making a whining sound. I look at the salesman and he looks like I just caught him jerking off. Turns out the engine needs major repairs, but it's ok because I can have the work done at the dealership--after I buy the car.

Cambridge Analytica declared bankruptcy last month, but it's not like all its evil masterminds joined a Buddhist monastery -- they've started a new company Data Propria, helmed by Cambridge Analytica alum Matt Oczkowski, who bragged in public that he and Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale were "doing the president’s work for 2020."

George Michael will be honoured with a blue plaque at Bushey Meads School on April 15, while the antics of his partner in later years Fadi Fawaz continue to be a focus of the media.

Thought I'd start this as appropriate place for people following the handling of George Michael's posthumous legacy. Since Fadi Fawaz continues to cause a public stir and that story continues to unfold, I guess discussion about that should be open as well. However, I don't know if many are very interested in him aside from being GM's partner. I don't see why that should dominate the discussion here on DL, with so many long threads in his name.

There is much more to talk about re George Michael than his exes, and still things people are trying to puzzle out. So I thought this thread might be handy for those with interest in GM, when things about Fadi Fawaz are going through a quiet phase.

Saw A24’s latest horror film, Hereditary, this evening. It’s been billed as the scariest film of the year. That it might be, but it’s not terrifying.

This seems to have caused a backlash with moviegoers who have given it a terrible CinemaScore of D+.

Some spoilers follow, nothing too specific. I’m sure the thread will contain more spoilers. Can we be polite and tag individual replies with SPOILER alerts?

The movie is more a dread that spreads over you due to the terrible, ghastly things people will do, even to family, for power and glory. It’s not the super scare fest it was made out to be by A24.

It’s funny — I thought it was a great film but my fanny was put into the theater seat thinking it was to be a terrifying film. As I’ve said, it’s not — more disturbing than terrifying. So I had the weird reaction of loving the film and being disappointed by it at the same time.

I had the same response to The Witch. I see that film more as a supernatural cinematic poem of 17th century folklore more than a horror story per se. I love the film but I was also disappointed in A24’s completely misleading marketing.

What did other people think?

They are both equally qualified, but I run a daycare with a large garden and small animals.

They're judging me by my age. I don't understand. I'm trying to get my head around it."

I've posted of my saga before.

My friend who I met at work in 2012 is a hot, younger "straight" guy. He was in a bad relationship with a girl, and he and I started fooling around on the regular. Drugs were involved.

He broke up with her, and took up with another girl, for whom he moved to NYC.

They recently broke up. We were friends again, no fooling around this time. He was in a bad motorcycle accident last night. Spleen removed, legs fucked up, artery in his neck fucked up. I'm worried sick. Sounds like no head injury, but still, I've been upset all day.

Guys, if you pray, please say a prayer for my Prince Hal. Thanks.

A story buzzing this week is that a tech king wannabe who was trying to be front and center at a big television event last week drugged and raped a soap actress after an after party of the event.

JUNE 20--A Kansas man was charged today with lewd and lascivious behavior for his repeated attempts to have sex with the tailpipe of a parked automobile, according to court records.

Ryan Malek, 23, was named in a Municipal Court complaint accusing him of exposing himself with the intent of arousing or gratifying “sexual desires.” Malek has been summoned to appear in court on July 19 to answer the criminal charge.

Pictured above, Malek, cops say, was intoxicated when he sought to tryst with a vehicle on May 1 in Newton, a city 25 miles north of Wichita.

Local cops responding to a 911 call about a man beneath a vehicle discovered Malek endeavoring to place his penis into the tailpipe of a car parked outside an apartment complex. Malek, a Newton resident, was “oblivious” when initially contacted by police.

Malek, whose blood alcohol content was later measured at more than four times the legal limit, continued trying to have sex with the tailpipe in the presence of officers. Cops subsequently tased Malek, took him into custody, and transported him to a local hospital for treatment.

The criminal complaint lists six witnesses who reportedly saw Malek trying to have sex with the tailpipe. Malek’s rap sheet includes arrests for marijuana possession and aggravated assault.

A new video of Justin Bieber surfaced on Monday night (June 11), and it shows him comforting a fan who opened up about the struggle to find a church that is inclusive towards people in the LGBTQ community.

The two minute clip appears to show Bieber taking photos and answering questions from fans, following his church service. One fan asks the singer how the service went and whether his church is accepting of the gay community.

“Isn't your church like really inclusive, like, of the gay community?” the fan asks. Bieber, who attends Hillsong Church, replies that it is, and that anyone can come.

The fan then opens up to the singer about how they grew up as Catholic, but haven't attended church in a while. "I'm trying to find a place that is like, inclusive of everybody, 'cause I came out as queer not long ago. So, I'm trying to find a nice place. 'Cause, like no one is nice. Everybody is so homophobic," adds the fan.

Bieber responds that he was sorry, and invites the fan to attend one of his church's services in the future.

“Yeah, that breaks my heart for you. I’m so sorry. That’s not okay,” Bieber says. “If you ever want to come to any of the services, any of them would love to have you. We’d love to have you in there, you’re more than welcome to come any time.”

They die in threes. Who's next?

Sir Bruce Forsyth, the veteran entertainer and presenter of many successful TV shows, has died aged 89.

The former Strictly Come Dancing presenter had been unwell for some time and was in hospital earlier this year after a severe chest infection.

His long career in showbusiness began when he was aged just 14.

He became Britain's best-paid TV star, famous for hosting game shows like The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right.

He also presented BBC One's Strictly with Tess Daly from 2004 to 2014.

A statement from his manager, Ian Wilson, said: "It is with great sadness that the Forsyth family announce that Sir Bruce passed away this afternoon, peacefully at his home surrounded by his wife Wilnelia and all his children.

"A couple of weeks ago, a friend visited him and asked him what he had been doing these last 18 months.

"With a twinkle in his eye, he responded 'I've been very, very busy... being ill!'"

Sir Bruce's family expressed their thanks to "the many people who have sent cards and letters to Bruce wishing him well over his long illness and know that they will share in part, the great, great loss they feel".

They said there would be no further comment at the moment and asked for their privacy to be respected "at this most difficult time".

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The organizer of a far-right rally last year in Charlottesville, Virginia, that turned deadly is planning to hold a rally near the White House in Washington on the first anniversary of the event, federal officials said on Wednesday.

Jason Kessler filed an application last month and it has been approved to hold what he described as a "white civil rights rally" on Aug. 11-12, although a permit has not yet been issued, Mike Litterst, a spokesman for the National Park Service, said in an email.

Kessler organized the Aug. 12, 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville that drew international attention when a suspected white nationalist crashed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one woman. U.S. President Donald Trump inflamed tensions when he said both sides were to blame for the violence.

The rally in Charlottesville, home to the flagship campus of the University of Virginia, followed months of protests over the city's proposed removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

Kessler previously has denied the Virginia event was intended to provoke violence, contending the counterprotesters sparked the fighting and blaming police for failing to protect his group. He did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

In a redacted copy of the application posted online, Kessler estimated 400 people would attend the Washington rally, and added he would work with law enforcement during the event.

Kessler also has applied to hold an event in Charlottesville, but that was denied due to concerns over public safety, according to Virginia ABC TV affiliate WSET.

Most of the trans community are straight right? Smaller percentage transition and have gay/lesbian relationships right?

This had me wondering why trans women, who are straight, did not decided to approach women's groups for help in advocating for their rights as opposed to gay organizations? I have to imagine that if trans women aligned their struggles with women's rights that they would have as much or more advocates helping them than just from the gay community who have little to nothing in common with their rights.

So why have straight trans women not joined women's right groups? Or have they but we just do not hear about it?

I'm not mentioning trans men because from my knowledge they do not seem to be as vocal as the trans women. It seems they keep their concerns and struggles out of the spotlight unless bathroom use is being discussed.

An Ohio man who police say tried to lure an underage boy with Sprite and a popular chicken dish was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty.

Albert Maruna, now 23, will serve seven days in the Mahoning County jail, WFMJ reported. He was arrested in December after the 15-year-old boy he planned to meet turned out to be an undercover cop.

Maruna will also spend 120 days on house arrest after his week in jail, and will be on probation for three years. He must also register as a Tier 1 sex offender, according to the news station.

Maruna had traveled to Austintown after meeting who he thought was the teenager on a dating app. The police officer told the then-22-year-old he was 15, to which Maruna reportedly replied he didn't believe in age.

Police, according to WKBN, said Maruna began to develop feelings for the teen and reportedly told the undercover officer, "You are my one and only," and said he wanted to be his husband one day.

Investigators said Maruna sent naked photos of himself to the teen, and ahead of their meet-up agreed to bring lubricant, a chicken Alfredo dish and Sprite. He reportedly requested the teen wear a jock strap during the time they had planned together.

When Maruna, who reportedly admitted to police he hoped to have sex with the teenage boy, was arrested, police discovered he was carrying an iPhone, a MacBook and three zip drives — in addition to “a bottle of Astroglide lubrication, Vaseline lotion, two bottles of Sprite, and chicken Alfredo in a Tupperware container.”

Every weekend- and often weekdays- millions of them dress near-identically and head out to knock a little white ball around the grass. Or watch someone else do it.

Their bland, butt-faced expressions are never happy, but content. It's one of the places they can feel heterosexual and affluent.

I always wonder what all that time and energy could be spent doing besides staring into nothingness.

The Whatever will Corey do living in Pittsburgh edition.

It’s been 30 years since your first album, Kylie, was released. What do you think of it now?

Five years down the line I probably wanted to run as far from it as possible. But about five years after that, I was having the best time performing “The Loco-Motion” again. When I think of Kylie, I think of a really young girl. Everything was new to me.

How have you changed as an artist since?

It takes to time solidify your industry presence and learn who you are. One quote I love is: “There’s no shortcut to learning your craft.” Now I can call up a singer like Nick Cave, or ask Bono if he’ll sing with me onstage. Now I write and know how to put a show together. I’m 50, not 21. My experiences are reflected in my work.

For your new album, Golden, was it tricky to meld a Nashville sound with the dance pop people expect from you?

Oh, yeah. We definitely looked for that country influence, but we were aware that I’m not a country artist. During recording, we’d say, “Not enough banjo! Put a fiddle in there!” The key thing was, it had to sound like a Kylie record, but with an extra flavor.

What’s it like to be at a point in your career when you can take that risk?

I’ll never make an album that’s a carbon copy of another, and not everyone gets these chances. To try something new 30 years into my career is mind-blowing.

What do you think the young woman who made Kylie would think of Golden?

I think she’d enjoy it and feel empowered by it. And have it in her cassette collection.

According to the Daily Mail, "Meghan could be in the running for an Emmy - after being put forward for an award for her final season of the legal drama.

The former actress, 36, could be nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category, for her role as Rachel Zane.

A representative for the USA Network has confirmed that the Duchess of Sussex has been put forward for consideration in the category.

Meghan has not previously won any major awards for her role in Suits, meaning this will be her last chance to pick up a prestigious gong.

This guy’s got the deepest singing voice I’ve ever heard.

Actor Aden Young always felt like an outsider.

Even when he first encountered acting, he was sure he didn't belong.

Born in Canada, his family moved to Australia when he was nine. "My mother is Australian. She would tell us about Australia. She was drowning in nostalgia," he says.

"My father was an American in Canada, and he didn't have any next-of-kin and we went over (to Australia) for this holiday. My father stayed in Canada to work. We had the time of our life. But he got very ill, and they decided it would be best if we all moved to Australia, and he came out to check it out – of course this was all unbeknownst to us. We were just having a holiday."

The family never went back. It was a shock to Young and his four siblings to learn they wouldn't even return for their things. "I held on to my Canadian identity out of spite," he says, sitting straight in his chair, "because if you don't let me go back I'm not going to let it go. I held on to it, it was a case of, 'You're not going to take that too'."

Young's sense of alienation has proven perfect for his role as Daniel Holden in Rectify

I went to a gay bar for the first time in a long time, and was struck by how many clearly obvious bottoms in heat there were.

Hardly anyone was hooking up/flirting because everyone was seemingly on the prowl for masculine top guys. The ironic part of it all, is that from my experience, masculine top guys tend to avoid gay bars altogether.

What’s the draw of gay bars if no one is getting laid?

The final five

Who was Dusty Springfield? We all think we know the answer – an international superstar loved by millions who never learned to love herself; a tortured soul forced into hibernation in California because of her sexuality; a washed-up has-been whose repatriation by the next generation of recording artists was cut short by her death from cancer. Poor Dusty, tragic Dusty.

The truth, like the woman, is rather more complex, and the many shades of her personality have been captured in Dusty, a new musical written by Jonathan Harvey and directed by Maria Friedman.

Rita Ora: from Eurovision flop to X Factor judge

The distributor is moving forward with plans to open 'Boundaries' even as it calls the actor's remarks "abhorrent, reckless and dangerous."

In the wake of Peter Fonda’s incendiary tweet about the first family for which the actor has already apologized, Sony Pictures Classics on Wednesday evening said that it is moving forward with plans to release the indie feature Boundaries, in which Fonda has a supporting role, even as it condemned his remarks as "abhorrent, reckless and dangerous."

Responding to the sight of children being separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the administration's "zero tolerance" policy, the Easy Rider actor on Tuesday issued an all-caps tweet that read, "

WE SHOULD RIP BARRON TRUMP FROM HIS MOTHER’S ARMS AND PUT HIM IN A CAGE WITH PEDOPHILES AND SEE IF MOTHER WILL WILL [SIC] STAND UP AGAINST THE GIANT ASSHOLE SHE IS MARRIED TO. 90 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE STREETS ON THE SAME WEEKEND IN THE COUNTRY. FUCK."

Call it The Revenge of #MeToo. It frightens me.

People who tuned in Sunday night to AMC were greeted by a terse, one-sentence message on their screens:

“ ‘Talking with Chris Hardwick’ will not be seen tonight.”

The erasure of Hardwick from the airwaves and the public square was swift, brutal and nearly complete.

This was a hard-core reaction to an online essay published on Thursday by Hardwick’s ex-girlfriend, Chloe Dykstra. Without mentioning Hardwick by name, she detailed, in often cringe-worthy fashion, emotional and sexual abuse she claims to have suffered during a nearly three-year intimate relationship with the host of TV programs including “Talking Dead,’’ the aftershow that dissects AMC powerhouses “The Walking Dead’’ and “Fear the Walking Dead.”

From the way Dykstra, 29, describes it, she was a ghost, the victim of sexual assault, mental torture and controlling behavior, forbidden from as much as talking to other men.

The torment allegedly began just two weeks into the relationship, which ran from 2011-2014.

Evidently, in this brief time, she was completely hooked by the charismatic performer. It ended after she left Hardwick, 46, for another man — and claims that he and a former female friend of hers set out to blackball her in the entertainment industry.

She then weirdly quotes Michelle Obama and writes that she thinks the former first lady would support her — though it’s doubtful Obama would get involved in this case of he-said, she-said.

Hardwick, for his part, denies completely engaging in abuse and attributes the wounded feelings to a long relationship gone awry. He put out a statement claiming that he was done with Dykstra after she was unfaithful. She admits to as much.

Who can know what goes on behind closed doors between adults?

Hardwick found some encouragement in the Twitterverse, where fed-up fans of his gathered to express their discomfort with the lack of due process in destroying a man’s reputation and perhaps career. One tweeter asked why the accuser did not go to authorities.

He also was backed by his mother-in-law, Patty Hearst (yes, her), whose tweets included a reference to a “bunny boiler,” which was later deleted.

It’s scary that a man can be convicted and punished without a trial or as much as a thorough hearing.

#MeToo developed as a movement in which people might find empowerment by standing up to abusers. Now it’s being used as a cudgel for aggrieved parties to exact revenge.

It disturbs me, and I worry that as more people, most of them women, abuse this power, and if more outlets fire employees without vetting the accusations, the public will start disbelieving all accounts of abuse.

[Blind Gossip] When she was a teen, she looked healthy and gorgeous. However, this very famous movie actress is now chronically underweight.

On what does she blame this? Well, let’s review the last ten years of excuses: The stress of losing a family member. The stress of working too hard. The stress of raising a family. The stress of illness. The stress of travel. The stress of a divorce. The stress of a custody battle. Etc, etc, etc.

The truth may be much sadder.

[quote]She weighs less now than she did when she was a teenager. If you are actually expecting her to confess to the drugs or the eating disorder, forget it. That is never going to happen! Right now she is blaming it on [Her Ex-Husband]. She says he is stressing her out. So that’s today’s excuse.

And will anyone buy those orthopedic oxfords she wore to the 2014 Oscars when Ellen insulted her?

No pulse at scene

The article is from Harpers magazine.

Yes I did a search.

Like all things of value, the elite are hoarding the great cities for themselves and all others who wish to be a part of those cities have to deal with scarcity. I have always wondered, why would they choose to corral themselves that way? If things turn against them it will be too easy for the angry mob to surround them as they have boxed themselves into specific areas. It would be easy to cut off their escape. I suppose they believe that kind of thing could never happen.

His Star-Collecting, crazy ex-girlfriend (who gladly stayed with him for 3 full years), was begging Chris to take her back after she cheated on him.

Here are the main facts about the legendary singer that every fan should know

The actor Peter Fonda has told his Twitter followers that President Trump's 12-year-old son Barron should be ripped from his mother's arms and put 'in a cage with pedophiles' in an expletive-laden rant about the border crisis.

He also called for 90 million people to take to the streets in protest at the government's decision to criminally prosecute migrants who cross the US border illegally and separate them from their children.

The Easy Rider star, who has more than 46,000 followers, also said 'we should hack the system' and 'get the addresses of ICE agents' to 'surround their homes' and 'find out what schools their children go to and surround the schools'.

Branding President Trump a 'f****** monster', he added: 'We need to scare the f*** out of [border agents]! Need to make their children worry now'.

Who do you choose?

SCRUPLES was like heroin to me, as a closeted, unhappy teen gayling. She wrote about fashion, NYC, Beverly Hills, show biz, and general bitchery with such aplomb.

I was mildly surprised to learn she's still alive (at age 90), in the Hills, of course. What a legacy:

soap threads seemed to be allowed these days

here's something I've always wondered about the popularity of soap opera opening themes - which is the most popular?

I'm going to get two new cats (probably kittens) from a shelter, and I want to upgrade how I care for them from my last cat (who lived to a ripe old age of 16 nonetheless). Anyone have any recommendations for what t get for:

*cat litter? I used to buy for my old cat Arm & Hammer, but I am wondering if i should move to something more dust free. I've been told wheat attracts bugs so I am leery of getting that.

*a cat bed? Any brands or styles people recommend?

*Cat food? I just won't get canned wet food--it absolutely nauseates me.

*Cat carriers? Any specific brand?

Please no shaming, for whatever reason I cannot anticipate: I've noticed cat threads on DL sometimes lead to people being very angry and shaming (why is something I never understand), and that is not helpful.

Thanks for your help.

I thought it would be great! It isn't.

you're only supposed to wash them once a month - twice at most.

There was this one Thai twink I 'spoke to' on Facebook who kept posting photos of his Westie taking a bath and he said he washed her EVERY day. I told him to stop it! They may look cute very white but it's SO bad for them.

How can people be so ignorant?

“The contamination is … much greater than communities in Brazil or Kenya or India,” he said. He notes that in those countries, slum dwellings are often long-term homes for families and so there is an attempt to make the surroundings more livable. Homeless communities in San Francisco, however, are often kicked out from one part of town and forced to relocate to another. The result is extreme contamination, according to Riley.

Thank god Apple, Facebook, and Google employees can just get in their buses and pass it, though one was being shot at last year...

My younger cousin is only 22 but already in grave danger of entering early frauhood. She's a big girl who dresses totally frumpy, has three cats, never goes out, except to attend a local community college or go out and get coffee. Never had a boyfriend but she "ships" things like cute male characters on TV shows and Twilight. She likes to bake and sew, too, and her only close friend is essentially a gay guy version of herself.

Too young to be a frau or already one?

The singer has also struggled to sell out UK stadiums, after reports that she sold 38,000 of the 56,000 available tickets for her first night in Manchester.

The Irish Girl Guides said that it had been contacted and given 200 tickets to the Irish dates, which it had initially offered to its members through a competition before giving them out on a first come, first served, basis.

It is understood that a number of other charities were offered tickets, including the Ana Liffey Drug Project, which helps those facing addiction issues. Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin also confirmed that it had received tickets and thanked MCD for its “support and generosity”.

This is my favorite win. And I've never even seen the show.

The Greatest Living Actress

This guy won't give up.

His profile said 5’9, 185, 48C, 17A, BR/BR, TATS, MILITARY CUT Well built, well experienced, well trained

When: Right now! Ethnicity: White Where: At your place Status: Ask me

Into: Sucking, Fucking, 1 on 1, Group Sex, Leather, Toys, Role Playing, S&M, Scat, fart, Pig Play, WS, FF, Nipple Play, Fuck Buddy, Kissing, Feet/Socks

32 // 5’9 // Muscular // Hazel // Dk Brown // Bottom/Versatile

His pix show an absurdly masculine, handsome leatherman, complete with Fu-Manchu moustache, roiling with sunburnt muscles and a truly fabulous ass. Such a magnificent specimen has no need of the web for hook-ups. Within five minutes of his walking into the Ramrod he’d be showered with American Express black cards. Why would he be so aggressive in pursuing me? Although my profile had S&M checked off (and I am into rough sex), I’m not into leather…leathermen yes, leather itself no. And although no stranger to handball my profile says nothing about fisting. Likewise, although I’ve peed in many a bathtub, Golden Showers have never really sprouted my May Flower. I hadn’t even proclaimed myself a Titpig on my profile yet. I was suspicious of either rampant fakery or some other nefarious scheme.

I answered his e-mail with a slight coolness, feigning a tough attitude. His responses were quick and aggressive. In short order a cab pulled up and he jumped out, carrying a small rucksack. My astonishment was all too apparent. He not only conformed to his profile, there was an endearing boyish quality that didn’t come through in his pictures at all. He was a living doll.

With a firm grip and steady eyelock, I shook his hand and directed him into my kitchen. In almost robotic fashion, he responded immediately to my various commands, which pleased me enormously. I undressed my new toy, who smelled overpoweringly of sun and mansweat. He smelled so rank and masc. Like the inside of a man's hole after a day of calamitous sodomy. Inspection of his ass and his splendid hairy hole revealed that he hadn’t showered since the last time he’d shit. It was gamey and somewhat overripe for my taste, but I snarfed down on it, dingleberries and all.

He was completely submissive, aggressively submissive if such a thing is possible, without being effeminate in any fashion whatsoever. I had a strikingly beautiful man totally at my command, a toy soldier for my pleasure. He started by asking permission to sit on my dick. My inspection showed a narrow, tight pucker, giving only gradually to my finger and grasping fast. But with only a gob of spit, the self-same hole opened to accommodate my oozing rod in one stoke, with only one hesitation. I was beyond impressed. Well trained, indeed!

After a half-hour of switching positions and just a bit of oral (he’s a bit of a gagger), I was fucking him on his back, head resting on pillows leaning up against the footboard. We were both glazed in sweat. He told me to relax a bit and stay still, which I did. With rhythmic thrusts of his pelvis, he began using his hole to jerk me off, hands never deviating from my tits. I’m a veteran of many things, but never have I had such a sensation. Alternately loose and tight, it was as if I were being milked of my seed. Soon enough he got his prize, as I washed his colon with fuck.

He farted out a thick skid of Santorum on my Egyptian cotton bedsheets. Some trickled down onto my shag carpet. No worries, I made him eat it up.

Hi! Any gay or bisexual rumors about Ronn Moss (Bold and Beautiful’s ex Ridge)? And what about his current wife Devin DeVasquez?

Per CNN.

We've got this.

Good for them! These people deserve no peace.

I'm Canadian and have a trip planned to the US planned for the fall. I was planning on taking my mother to NY (I've been several times, this would be her first visit) to see a few shows and show her around NYC. Everything is booked and paid for already, but with everything happening, I don't feel right about visiting the US.

I don't mean to offend, and I have no problems with Americans, I love New York and believe it's the best city in the world, but over the last few weeks, (starting with Trump's behavior at the G7 and even more now with the children being detained) I can't shake the feeling that it'd be wrong to visit and spend money in the US while it's under control of the orange one.

I've been mulling it over to the point where I'm getting stressed out. I paid for the trip to treat my mom, and she's looking forward to it, I know she'd be upset if I canceled it, which brings me to another issue. We have cancellation insurance, but obviously I wouldn't get any refund because I decided not to go.

I'm torn. If I cancel the trip I'll be out a lot of money and I'll upset my mother. She's 73 but still very healthy and active, but who knows for how much longer? On the other hand, ugh...it just doesn't feel right. I'm torn.

Thoughts?

June 20 is World Refugee Day. And as refugees around the world remain in the international spotlight, it's a good time to take note of what they're capable of.

Refugees are people who have escaped their home countries to flee war, natural disaster, or persecution. Today, there are more than 25 million refugees in the world, according to the United Nations.

In spite of their struggles, refugees have made great contributions to society. Inspired by the New York Times's list of 25 great books by refugees in America, here's a list of refugees who are so accomplished that they've become international celebrities.

I love Smashing Pumpkins, and Siamese Dream is one of my all-time favorite albums.

I liked them up until Adore, and then started to lose interest.

Were you a fan of Smashing Pumpkins in the 90s? What do you think of them now?

I mean why would you follow anyone around to see what they are doing nowadays. They tell you there every move on social media before you even get the chance to wonder.

I'll start with "Sleeping With The Enemy". Such a shitty film, but Jerry Goldsmith's main theme is so beautiful it makes me want to cry.

IMO looks: Barbara had the edge over Judy if she’d had a nose job she would have been pretty, Judy while having her pretty moments was never a great beauty

Voice: Judy, even after years of drinking, pill popping and smoking 80 cigarettes a day her voice still holds up compared to Barbara. when she was young she blew her out of the water, so much emotion and such beautiful tones, Barbara sounds like a depthless pig in comparison

It still seems bizarre to me that the entire Cable News Network has in recent years been using in the past few years a cranky ex-heroin addict's trips eating food in foreign shitholes and pontificating on life as the prop for the entire schedule, but that' s exactly what they've been doing.

For a while they'll be able to run his old shows still (because of the curiosity factor), but then they'll find people will get sick of reruns. Will they create a new Anthony Bourdain?

For the newbies. He's 38, never married, no legit girlfriends though his PR team is pathetically pretending otherwise in SM. He pings to high heaven.The bios that stated he was gay, have been scrubbed. Last year, Heughan and his rumored bf -Luke Neal- spent over a month travelling together around the world. Sam also brought Luke to the Outlander premiere and several private parties. . After this trip, the gay rumors about Sam were everywhere and Luke -an actor and writer- deleted ALL his SM. People who met Heughan at the British theatre, say that Sam was openly gay before the STARZ contract:

[quote]"Knew him in the theatre scene back in the day. Nice guy. And openly gay then."

[quote]"Oh darling, of course I’m an old gossip. Have you never met a theatre queen before? Everyone in the biz knows he’s gay, which is not a big deal here. But it is in the US and in the movie industry, so I don’t think anyone was shocked or upset that he’s decided to closet. He's Luke Evans 2.0"

When discussing celebrities who are well endowed, there are always a few names past and present which immediately come to mind - Gary Cooper, Forrest Tucker, Jon Hamm - but who are some celebs who are also BIG but seldom mentioned? Bonus points if you've seen first-hand proof or have heard from direct sources.

Two words can describe the success of Elvis Presley and Madonna — white privilege. Both stars, especially Madonna, don’t have any real type of musical talent. They just know how to market themselves. Elvis marketed himself by ripping off black music and culture. Madonna marketed herself by ripping off gay black culture and not giving back. They should not be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Then, there is Janet Jackson — a major musical talent who created the template for women in the music business. Before Janet, there was no such thing as a woman in control of her career. Before Janet, a woman owning her own sexuality was considered taboo. Janet simply created the modern day concert that so many performers copy. But she’s not in the RRHOF? Why?Cause she’s black! It’s really frustrating — there is one white woman who has been praised by the masses for her sexual exploration, but Janet has been condemned just for accidental revealing of a breast,” Jimmy Jam, one of Janet’s famous co-producers, tells us. (Terry Lewis didn’t want to be interviewed for this.) Of course, he’s talking about Madonna without actually naming her. Madonna, if you remember, kissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, just five months before Janet’s breast reveal at the Super Bowl. The white girls were all praised. But the black girl was boycotted everywhere. Double standards? You bet!

Not the best look, but is that really his gifted third leg he is showing off or is it movie trickery?

Take a listen to this podcast it goes into the very psyche of straight female fans of certain actors and/or the characters they perceive as gay and then goes apeshit over these actors personal lives be it gay or straight.

If you've ever wondered how can there be 99,000 DL threads on Sam Heughan, who most people have no idea who he is, here's an explanation. It mainly focuses on the Sherlock/Watson "ship", but it applies to a lot of other shows/actors. It's a great new podcast from the people at Slate.com.

“Doctor Who” star David Tennant will play the father of a severely learning-disabled girl in “There She Goes,” a new comedy for the BBC from Sharon Horgan’s production company Merman.

The five-part series will go out on the pubcaster’s BBC Four channel. Tennant and Jessica Hynes (“Shaun of the Dead”) star as Simon and Emily, respectively, the parents of 9-year-old Rosie, played by Miley Locke. Edan Hayhurst appears as Ben, Rosie’s brother.

Shaun Pye (“Todd Margaret”) penned the series. The producers said that each episode would shine a light on day-to-day life with Rosie, from simply trying to take her to the park to explaining that every day isn’t her birthday. Sky Vision is selling the series internationally.

"The relationship is about as dysfunctional as we've seen between America and its major allies since the transatlantic relationship really started after World War II."

In The Boys in the Band — the Broadway revival of the 1968 play about a gay party that flies off the rails — Matt Bomer portrays Donald, the best friend of the event's host, Michael. Donald is grappling with his identity through analysis and also retreat — he fled New York City in order to distance himself from gay culture. But the party forces him to once again confront it as well as himself.

Of course this is his own administrative policy, but I guess an executive order helps him look like a hero.

[quote]President Trump is preparing to issue an executive order as soon as Wednesday that ends the separation of families at the border by indefinitely detaining parents and children together, flouting a court settlement that prohibits that move, according to a person familiar with the White House plans. Stories of children being taken from their parents and images of teenagers in cage-like detention facilities have exploded into a full-blown political crisis for Mr. Trump and Republican lawmakers, who are desperate for a response to critics who have called the practice “inhumane” and “evil.”

[quote]Mr. Trump has for weeks refused to simply end his government’s “zero tolerance” policy that led to the separation of more than 2,300 children from their parents, saying that the alternative would be to fling open the nation’s borders and allow immigrants who cross the border illegally to remain in the country. But the president, furious about the pummeling he has taken in recent days, has been casting about for an escape from the crisis, people familiar with his thinking said. Officials at the Department of Homeland Security are preparing the executive order that is designed to end the family separations.

Critics of the Trump administration’s separating of families illegally crossing the U.S. border with Mexico have characterized the practice as a distinctly cruel feature of Donald Trump’s presidency.

But some Republican commentators argue the policy is essentially a continuation of previous administrations.

"You know what's ironic? It's the same way Barack Obama did it," conservative commentator Matt Schlapp said during the June 15 broadcast of Fox News' America's Newsroom. "This is the problem with all of these things, the outrage you see coming from the left. There wasn't outrage over Barack Obama separating kids from adults."

While the Obama administration's immigration approach was not without controversy, it’s simply untrue to say he had a policy of separating families.

I’ve never quite understood Marvel’s reluctance to introduce a gay character in their movies, mostly because have you seen those movies? They are gay, honey. They are fully on the precipice of coming out. They are so gay that I found pictures of Tom Daley in their search history.

But which movie is the gayest?

I like their burgers but what is up with those little matchstick fries? Who thought that was a good idea?

Earlier this week was National Coming Out Day. As a straight man I can’t quite understand what it’s like to come out. However I do know what it’s like to sometimes not be accepted for who you are.

I was raised predominantly by my mom (I’m a huge mama’s boy lol 🙈) with my father mostly out of the picture. Growing up I developed some effeminate mannerisms from it, plenty of which I still have to this day. This led to a lot of people questioning my sexuality during my teenage years. I found myself frustrated over having to defend my sexuality, sometimes to complete strangers. Not because I had anything against being gay, it was just exhausting to have people that didn’t even know me treat me differently and claim that they “knew” all about me based on assumptions.

I took a fashion design class in high school along with several home economics classes, all of which I loved. I already aspired to model and won Most Likely to be an Abercrombie Model as my senior superlative (✅😜). I did those things because I enjoyed them and didn’t give a shit what the ignorant people said when they tried to harass me for it. I’m thankful to live in a day and age where I can freely paint my nails and wear dresses in public whenever I see fit 💅🏻👗 Don’t ever let anyone make you feel ashamed for being yourself and living the way that you want to live. This is why I’ll always be an ally and I thank my LGBTQ family for supporting me in living life to its fullest. Cheers to all those that are living out loud right now and sending love to those that haven’t been able to make that leap yet ❤️❤️❤️

Sixteen actresses, including Jane Fonda, Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese Witherspoon and Natalie Portman, are urging New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to raise the wage paid to tipped workers.

The actresses invoked the #TimesUp hashtag and wrote that relying on tips forces many workers to endure widespread sexual harassment.

Others signing onto the letter include Lily Tomlin, Rashida Jones, Amy Poehler, America Ferrera, Jessica Chastain, Amber Tamblyn, Brie Larson, Debra Messing, Michelle Williams, Erika Alexander, Ashley Judd, and Sarah Silverman.

....

Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman and more than a dozen other A-listers were told to shove it by 500 restaurant workers in New York who signed an open letter to the actresses.

“You’ve been misled that we earn less than minimum wage and that we’re somehow helpless victims of sexual harassment,” the restaurants’ workers said in their letter, which was organized by Maggie Raczynski, an Outback Steakhouse bartender in Clifton Park, NY. “Thank you for your concern. But we don’t need your help and we’re not asking to be saved,” they wrote.

As a director shooting the HBO movie “The Tale” based on her own experiences as the survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Jennifer Fox faced a special challenge: how to handle the crucial and horrific sex scene between 13-year-old Jennifer (Isabelle Nélisse) and her grown-up track coach (Jason Ritter).

“That scene is so broken apart, we shot-listed it, and we prepared days before of where the cameras would be, that it didn’t have this great emotional meaning for me that people would expect,” Fox told TheWrap.

And Fox and her production team got creative in how they set up the scene to protect Nélisse, who was 11, turning 12, at the time the film shot on location in

“Isabelle was on a vertical bed, and there was never any physical contact between her and Jason,” Fox told TheWrap. “Jason wasn’t even allowed to put his arm around her, according to Louisiana law. Everything Jason did [physically] was done with a 22-year-old body double — even the dialogue, which was pretty graphic, wasn’t said to Isabelle directly.”

Instead, Fox explained, she would read cues to Nélisse, like “act like a beast is on you,” “act like your grandma is chasing you” or “act like you are eating something sour” to get the facial reactions from Nélisse used in the film.

"It happened without me knowing it," Minogue tells Billboard, explaining she became aware of her intense LGBTQ following in the late '80s while visiting Sydney's so-called "Gay Golden Mile."

"I was in Sydney and there's a famous bar on Oxford Street called the Albury, and at the time it was the gay bar in the gay area in Sydney. I was in the car, my manager was in the car with me along with a couple other people, and someone said 'there's Kylie Night at the Albury tonight.' And I was like 'What?!' I'd never heard of a Kylie Night, but I said 'We should go! We should go!' At the time, I'd done an ad for Coca-Cola, and someone said, 'Ohhh I think someone has gone as a Coke can,'" she recalls, laughing. "There weren't that many versions of me then, I'm talking 1989 or '90. Now there's tons of them -- choose a look. But I'm the least Kylie person when I'm at any of those nights. I looked like they should not have let me in."

Since then, Kylie's given us more than enough looks to populate an entire bar without repeats, and her gay fan base has only grown.

"That's the first moment I can remember where it was a thing, and it's been a thing ever since -- which is incredible," she says.

Donald Trump is indisputably the worst president in American history

Landon Foster, a former punter at the University of Kentucky, has come out as gay.

In an article for OutSports on Wednesday, Foster explained he was publicly coming out with the hope of potentially helping and inspiring others:

"I am sure I will receive some backlash for writing this, but if there is one person it helps, then it will be worth it. I have been through hell, especially during my college years, trying to come to grips with who I am while also representing my university and football team. I was representing these institutions in a state that garnered national attention for anti-LGBT sentiment just days after I had come out to my parents, weeks before my senior season, and ultimately leading to my departure from the sport that I always envisioned as being a part of my life."

Foster also noted his junior and senior years in college "were filled with constant feelings of anxiety and inferiority" because of a number of high-profile stories on LGBTQ rights around the country, including Michael Sam coming out and Kentucky district clerk Kim Davis refusing to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple.

"For the first time in my life, I didn't know how to feel," he wrote. "I didn't know what I was supposed to do or say. Surely I should take a stand and defend what I believe to be true."

Foster says he eventually found a way to enjoy his various interests without worrying about how he would be perceived:

"I thought it wasn't possible to enjoy both the macho world of sports and the more artistic form of writing. I couldn't be an SEC football player and like photography. I couldn't be masculine and enjoy wine. I couldn't be gay and enter the business world. I was supposed to be listening to Lil' Wayne, not Shawn Mendes.

"But I've learned it is possible to marry all of those likes and identities. They are not mutually exclusive."

The 24-year-old Foster played at Kentucky from 2012 to 2015. He was named to the Freshman All-SEC team in 2012 after averaging 42.9 yards per punt.

DL’s favorite snow queen rapper/producer and CMBYN fanboy

Angelina Jolie is in danger of losing primary custody of her six children to estranged husband Brad Pitt.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, this could occur if she doesn’t take steps to improve their relationship with their father.

A judge in the couple’s ongoing divorce case said the six children “not having a relationship with their father is harmful to them,” adding that “it is critical that each of them have a healthy and strong relationship with their father and mother.”

Furthermore, the judge said in court documents, “If the minor children remain closed down to their father and depending on the circumstances surrounding this condition, it may result in a reduction of the time they spend with [Jolie] and may result in the Court ordering primary physical custody to [Pitt].”

Reps for both Jolie, 43, and Pitt, 54, have not yet responded to a request for comment.

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on September 19, 2016. The have six children: Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 9-year old twins Vivienne and Knox.

The judge outlined some specific steps Jolie should take to improving Pitt’s access and relationship to the children. For example, the actress and humanitarian was asked to provide the actor with the cell phone number of each child and allow him to call anytime.

Also, the judge said Jolie is not allowed to read their text messages with Pitt or secretly monitor his calls in anyway.

The court also outlined a detailed summer visitation schedule for the couple. Maddox was not included in the arrangement because at 16-years-old, the court determined he was old enough to decide how much time to spend with Pitt on his own.

Pitt will spend June 8 to June 17 with the kids for four hours a day while he stays in London, where his ex-wife is currently renting a home and shooting Maleficent 2. Pitt will host one or two of the minor at a time, and will spend time with each child at least twice. Jolie is not allowed to be present during Pitt’s time with the children.

Then from June 27 through July 1, Pitt gets custody for 10 hours per day under the same scheduling circumstances. A child therapist will also be with the children during this time.

From July 8 through July 14, Pitt will spend four consecutive days with the kids. A therapist will be present during that time and will meet with the kids before and after each two day period.

Donald Trump UK visit: Everything you need to know, from when he will arrive to who he is expected to meet

President Donald Trump will meet the Queen and go to Chequers when he visits Britain in later this year, with golf and a trip to Scotland also on the cards.

It is rumoured that his wife Melania will join him on the visit and that the couple may be honoured by the Coldstream Guards when they meet the Queen at Windsor Castle.

This would be the First Lady's first trip abroad since her hospitalisation for a kidney procedure last month. Melania was unable to accompany her husband to the G7 summit in Canada or to the Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, both of which took place earlier this month.

The US leader’s long-delayed trip will begin on July 13 and will include talks with Theresa May and an overnight stay. While it was originally due to last just 24 hours, it may be extended to up to three days.

The White House press secretary let slip the date of Mr Trump's trip in April in a press conference for journalists’ children to mark America’s ‘Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day’.

Friday July 13 has been chosen as the date because Mr Trump, who is known not to enjoy long-distance travel, is in Brussels for a Nato meeting on July 11 and 12.

A Downing Street spokesman said: “He will hold bilateral talks with the Prime Minister during his visit. Further details will be set out in due course.”

Mr Trump is understood to have personally approved the visit after weeks of careful negotiations between his staff, Number 10 and the UK embassy in Washington.

The visit offers a chance for Mrs May to improve her personal relationship with the US president, which figures close to both leaders privately acknowledge is not especially warm.

Yet it also triggered renewed fears of mass protests – one of the reasons Mr Trump has delayed coming to Britain for so long according to US and UK sources.

While the exact details of the trip remain under discussion, Mr Trump is expected to hold talks with Mrs May at Chequers, her countryside residence. UK aides believe that pomp and ceremony will help foster a warmer relationship with the US president.

It is understood that Mr Trump is expected to play a hole of golf with Prince Andrew at his family's Turnberry course. He is likely to meet the Queen at Windsor Castle before heading to Scotland, having repeatedly said how much his Scottish mother admired Her Majesty.

Both Mr Trump and the Duke of York are known for their love of golf. The US president has reportedly spent more than 100 days of his presidency at golf clubs, and has used the sport to bond with other world leaders.

Mr Trump is expected largely to avoid the capital, however, in a move that would minimise his exposure to the protests that are expected.

He will not be invited to address both Houses of Parliament – an honour that has been accorded to previous US presidents – because of opposition from John Bercow, the Commons speaker.

Last November Mr Bercow said that addressing the Commons was "an earned honour and in my view he (Trump) has not earned that honour".

A spokesman for the Speaker’s Office told The Daily Telegraph: “Mr Speaker’s views on this subject are a matter of public record. In any case, no request to address both Houses of Parliament has been received.”

The trip will not be the full state visit offered to Mr Trump just days after his inauguration, for which a date has yet to be set. Instead, it will be a 'working visit'.

The US President will not have time to meet Jeremy Corbyn during his visit. The Labour leader previously said he wanted to talk to Mr Trump about his "problems with Mexicans and Muslims" when he visits the UK.

Ed Miliband, Mr Corbyn's predecessor as Labour leader, met President Obama when he made a state visit to the UK in 2011.

I just read an oral history of Led Zeppelin and was shocked to find out Jimmy Page had a long relationship with a 13 year old girl. Sable and Lori were pubescent LA groupies. Lori was the attractive one, whose conquests included Page and David Bowie. Sable had Iggy Pop and Johnny Thunders.

In the book, a Zeppelin employee recalls picking up Lori at a motel and witnessing an argument between mother and daughter about which dress Lori should wear; the mother was seemingly pimping out her 13 year old.

It's comical that the Justin Bieber thing passes for scandal today while the world's greatest guitarist sleeping with a little girl was nothing back in the day!

Has there ever been a good pretend Kiwi accent on screen? Like, ever? Madeleine Chapman searches far and wide for one, just one, decent New Zealand accent.

My sister, niece, and niece’s youngest daughter were visiting over the weekend. The oldest daughter is now 13 and has decided she doesn’t like me and refused to visit.

I have a table in the hallway where I display a collection of antique Avon perfume bottles that belonged to my mother. They are not toys. The little girl has been told this many times.

I caught her playing with them again and told her that I was going to “call the Devil and he’s going to come and put you in a sack and take you to Hell!”

My mother used this line on us growing up and it got us to behave. It certainly didn’t cause irreparable damage.

Well, the girl starts crying hysterically and of course runs to her mother and tells her what I said. All hell broke loose, with my niece launching into one of her attacks on me, telling me that I’m a crazy old queen and she doesn’t know what happened to me as a child, but I’m clearly some kind of deranged sociopath, how she doesn’t know why I keep those tacky bottles, or why I’ve “canonized” my mother (who died before my niece was born) because she’s always heard that the old woman was a Nazi, and that must be where I get it from, etc.

My sister just stood there glaring at me, then finally said she doesn’t understand why we can’t get through one visit without me “showing my ass,” in her words.

The little girl is standing there, not a tear in sight, taking it all in.

I was absolutely furious at this point and said that I was finished entertaining them (I might have tossed in a few insults of my own) and that I was now inviting them to leave.

They packed up in silence and left, the little 6-year old hussy in training sticking her tongue out at me as she left, trailing my sister and niece. I’m ashamed to say that I shot her the bird in response and closed the door.

Haven’t heard a peep from them, so I’m sure I’m on their shit list for next couple of months.

Are they friends. Or are they “friends”?

Some Trump supporters say undocumented immigrants are to blame for bringing their kids to the border in the first place. They say they believe the administration is simply enforcing existing immigration law.

"I blame it on the parents for letting it happen because they bring them up and know they can't get across there legally," said Ron Carroll, a 69-year-old resident of Mesa, Arizona.

"He should enforce the laws like he's doing, and our Congress needs to abide by the laws and follow the laws and enforce the laws. Not go against our President," he said. He said he blames backlash over the practice on Congress for signing off on a law without knowing what it says, going back to the Obama administration.

"Like I said earlier, it's the parents that bring them up, and they already know they're going to take them away, so to me there's no issue there, Carroll said.

His wife agreed saying "To be perfectly honest, I'm angry at the parents," she said. "I feel very honestly that it's their fault that the children have been separated, because they're bringing them in illegally. And the other thing is, the law that has been put on the books was not put on recently. It was put on back many years ago, and I think very seriously that they need very firmly to say enough is enough." She faulted the media for using children to play on people's emotions.

"I think people need to stop constantly bringing up the poor children, the poor children. The parents are the problems. They're the ones coming in illegally," she said. "Quit trying to make us feel teary-eyed for the children. Yes, I love children a great deal, but to me, it's up to the parents to do things rightfully and legally."

Carl Bier, an 84-year-old retiree said undocumented immigrants should face consequences for trying to cross the border illegally.

"Here's how I feel about it: When I was a kid, 16 years old, I got fined for swimming in a lake 'cause I didn't follow the rules," he said. "These people that we have coming across the border illegally are breaking the rules. I have no feelings for them at all."

Sonya Coppa, a mother of two says children affected by family separation are the victims of their parents' poor choices. "Unfortunately, those parents and those children are feeling what their choices are. "

"You can't just come into this state and reap," she said. "Do it legally, get your card, become a citizen pay your taxes. That's what I believe in."

"I don't want to see families torn apart, but I also support enforcing the law," said Jessica Lycos, a political consultant based in Phoenix.

Brian Shiau, vice president of a private equity holding company, "I don't think the people involved want to do it this way, but that's the way that the policy has been instructed for them to do," he said.

Renee Padilla, who works in human resources said "It's not just involving separating the families -- we're trying to secure our borders to stop the drug trafficking, the sex trafficking and I think it goes a little deeper," she said. "At the end of the day, to make America great again I think both sides of the aisle need to come together.

Pascal Kropf, said he doesn't think children should be taken from their parents. But as long as a law that leads to family separation is "on the books," it should be enforced. "If we don't like it, let's get together and change it. Let's fix it," he said.

"Unfortunately ... it's politics."

I feel for the massive homeless population.

At least some more rats might drown, though.

Canada makes news and becomes THE FIRST (yet again) in LGBTQ rights

In what is believed to be a legal first in Canada, a court in Newfoundland and Labrador has recognized three unmarried adults as the legal parents of a child born within their "polyamorous" family.

Polyamorous relationships are legal in Canada, unlike bigamy and polygamy, which involve people in two or more marriages.

In this case, the St. John's family includes two men in a relationship with the mother of a child born in 2017.

"Society is continuously changing and family structures are changing along with it," says the decision, by Justice Robert Fowler of the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court's family division.

"This must be recognized as a reality and not as a detriment to the best interests of the child."

The April 4 decision says the unconventional family has been together for three years, but the biological father of the child is unknown. The family members are not identified in the decision, which was released Thursday by the court.

Watch for an interview.

Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, one of the GOP's loudest critics of President Trump, renounced the party early Wednesday and announced that he will begin voting for Democrats. Wow, I didn't see that coming. He's a very smart guy and was one of the few people on the Republican side that seemed to be a straight shooter and knew exactly what was going on. Well I am glad, welcome to the party, he was one of the few on the other side I actually liked.

From electoral vote.com This news is a few days old, but I didn't see it on a thread here. Thought I would share it. Note: Las Vegas is one of the cities. Can anyone say emoluments clause?

Generally, cities like national political conventions. Tens of thousands of people show up, staying in hotels, eating in restaurants, and generally pouring money into the city. However, relatively few cities bid for the 2020 Republican National Convention, mostly because there is a good chance the convention will renominate Donald Trump. He is not popular in cities and no small town has the tens of thousands of hotel rooms needed.

Nevertheless, there were a few bids, and the RNC has now whittled the choices down to Las Vegas and Charlotte. Neither city has ever hosted a Republican convention, but Charlotte hosted the 2012 Democratic National Convention, so the RNC knows it is capable of it. On the other hand, Donald Trump has a hotel in Las Vegas and he could make a lot of money by encouraging delegates to stay there. On the third hand, the average high temperature in Las Vegas in the summer is 102 Fahrenheit. Las Vegas was in the running for the 2016 Republican convention, but when evangelicals discovered that the Las Vegas telephone book contains 64 pages of listings for escort services, the city withdrew its bid. Whether Trump sees this aspect of Las Vegas as a feature or a bug is not known. The Democrats are not as far along in the process yet. (V)

"My character may seem despicable, but she's living with such a huge mount of pain," Collette tells TheWrap

You’ve read the reviews, scrolled Twitter for spoilers, watched the box office net a personal best for distributor A24 — but two weeks after terrorizing North America, the takeaway of “Hereditary’ is still Toni Collette’s blazing lead performance.

As a repressed and often unlikable woman paralyzed by grief, Collette grounds writer-director Ari Aster’s debut genre film in the world of a masterful indie film before giving way to abject horror.

“I wanted to do comedies,” said Collette, a career-long veteran of microbudget drama and festival darlings, during a recent chat with TheWrap from New York.

“But when I read this, I had this feeling of, ‘Oh f—. I’m gonna have to do this.’ It was an undeniable compulsion. It was like I had no choice in the matter,” she said.

Not unusual, I know, but there's so many brands available and so much competition, I was wondering what other medium-sized dog owners would recommend. I like to vary the protein, and she's never had any problems switching between proteins/flavors within the same brand, so maybe a brand that makes a variety of flavors, high quality, nothing from China, and preferably grain free. Any suggestions?

It took him days, but Trump finally backpedaled on this--I have never seen him do it so publicly before.

I wonder how long it will be before Corey Lewandoski has to backpedal too--otherwise he is absolutely toast, for the rest of his political career. He may even be already for "womp womp" and for his doubling down on that. That seems pretty unforgivable.

Stephen Mitchell will never backpedal, but I wonder if this means he will be out soon.

I think this will be a big lesson learned for the Trumpistas and the GOP alike about their limits with the American public. They will not be allowed to forget this any time soon. At last they discovered their limits with most Americans.

Premiere tonight! First night on the new network!

Interestingly, after reading reports that Cat wouldn't be on the show anymore (because Calista Flockhart refused to move to Vancouver)... she's in the premiere at least.

Superman is HOT. Win is HOT. And the new mystery Kryptonian is HOT!!!!

I want them in hot three way action (even if mystery guy remains in a coma)

Anyone else watching? Hopefully season 2 is better than season 1.

Did jerking off with someone else count? Is someone a virgin until they fuck or get fucked?

DAMMMMNNN GURLLLLLLLL!!!!!

Like most politicians, French President Emmanuel Macron seems to enjoy pressing the flesh and posing for selfies when on public outings.

Just don't call him by a nickname.

A cheeky teen who dared greet him with a breezy "How's it going, Manu" during an official outing near Paris on Monday was left red-faced after receiving a sharp dressing-down from the 40-year-old centrist.

The delegation will arrive in St. Petersburg on June 30 and spend time there before heading to the country’s capital on July 3 and 4th for meetings with lawmakers, Russian news agency Interfax reported, citing an unnamed official.

Raise your curtains of preconception and imagine a musical: There’s a spunky, sexually adventurous gay boy pursued by a hardworking man, a few years older, who wants tame the young’un and his wandering eye and get domestic. There’s a sheltered, uncomfortably ambiguous girl, torn between the attentions of a slow-burning hunk and a worldly woman. The voice of wisdom belongs to an elderly transgender aunt. Is this the latest work from the creators of Hedwig? An acting maxi-challenge on Drag Race? The fever dream of a progressive millennial show queen? In fact, it’s the groundbreaking 75th anniversary production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! playing through October at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, one of the largest and most widely acclaimed American nonprofit theater companies.

AN IRATE Paris Jackson has taken to social media to reveal she cleaned Michael Jackson’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Star — but there’s just one catch.

On Thursday, Paris shared a photo to Instagram which showed her scrubbing red graffiti off the sidewalk tribute.

However, the star in question wasn’t the one honouring her late father — it was there to commemorate radio commentator Michael Jackson.

The 84-year-old radio host’s star is adorned with a microphone, while singer Michael Jackson’s star features a record.

“Some people have no f***ing respect. I understand that there is a difference between the radio emblem and the record, but a name is a name,” she captioned a photo of her cleaning the star on Instagram.

Elaborating further on Twitter, Paris said she had only found out afterwards that the star didn’t belong to the late singer.

“I don’t think it was intentionally targeted it at him. I think it was probably just some young kids f***ing around,” she tweeted.

“But to me a name is a name and I couldn’t just hear about it and not go see it for myself.”

Mug-cradlers don’t just do things, that’s not exciting enough. They “rock.”

DLers, I need your sage, sophisticated advice.

I'm thinking of attending Royal Ascot this week. I've never been before. What advice can you give me? Which "enclosure" (i.e. seating location) is best and most fun? (Besides the Royal Enclosure obviously, but I don't have the fancy connections to get in there.)

What's the dress code etiquette for the most fun enclosure? We're going as a mixed group. I'm trying to process the rules on the official website, but I'm concerned of getting it wrong and being turned away.

Any advice & tips will be much appreciated! TIA

Post your thoughts and FAV songs

What is your favorite unreleased Stevie Nicks song?

Mine is "Julia", written on 12/31/1980 and 01/01/1981. It was recorded for both 'Bella Donna' and 'The Wild Heart' but producer Jimmy Iovine disliked the song, so it was dropped from both.

One of the best things that ever happened to TV. Whenever there’s a marathon on, I can’t help but procrastinate my life away by watching it.

The feminism theme is pretty heavy handed and the overall production is amateurish, but it has a fantastic 1970s soundtrack and appropriately garish fashion and home décor. Discuss.

As a guy in his mid 40s, I am way past the age of being able to successfully hook up on apps.

However, even if I could use them, I’d be afraid to bring so many strangers home for sex. With all the reports of people being robbed, murdered, etc I would be very cautious. Also heard of people getting bedbugs from people’s clothing and that would be a nightmare.

Are you ever concerned/nervous about hooking up with strangers from apps and bringing them home? These guys who leave the door open for strangers blindfolded make me wonder how many have been attacked or robbed.

A lot of younger gay guys act all grossed out about bathhouses, but at there you don’t have to worry about your personal safety.

The chief of New York City's public schools, a position he assumed only just last month, is facing some backlash over a story he shared on Twitter early Friday. The tweet from Chancellor Richard Carranza's account was to a rawstory.com piece about Upper West Side parents opposing a new plan to diversify schools in their traditionally white luxury neighborhood.

The story was titled "WATCH: Wealthy white Manhattan parents angrily rant against plan to bring more black kids to their schools."

Carranza told News 4 he just hit retweet, 'They weren't my words.'

And it's all over some essay Ho Chi Minhdy wrote for that other DL fave, Meredith Talusan.

Evil business mogul Max Shrek is the GOP and Donald Trump is the Penguin. Initially, Penguin blackmails Shrek into helping him. Shrek is resentful at first, but complies. Shrek soon gets an idea that he can use the Penguin to his advantage. Penguin is a mentally unstable criminal, but he captures the intrigue of Gothum's citizens. Since Penguin can be easily manipulated with no more effort than a simple stroking of his ego, Shrek seeks to position the Penguin into the Office of the Mayor. With Penguin in power, Shrek can essentially get whatever agenda he wants accomplished, no matter how nefarious or corrupt, while keeping his own hands clean. Penguin would never last as the mayor. His mental illness and impulsiveness combined with the kinds of things Shrek would manipulate him into doing would all but doom his political career, if not land him in prison. But before that would happen, Shrek would get whatever he wanted without having to face any of the repercussions of Penguin's inevitable fall.

MEGHAN Markle will join new husband Prince Harry and the Queen at Royal Ascot today only weeks after marrying into the Royal Family. While Kate, on the other hand, took five years to attend the event after her wedding to Prince William.

“William and Kate's first engagement after their wedding was the Epsom Derby though they did not attend Royal Ascot together until 2016.”

Prince Harry often attends the opening day of the races, which kicks off today, and has previously travelled in a carriage with his grandparents, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh.

As Kate is technically on maternity leave after the birth of Prince Louis, it is unclear as to whether or not the Duchess will make this year’s event.

Complete that sentence for celebrities in the performing arts.

For example: Bette Midler is the poor man's Barbra Streisand.

I definitely felt that way when I was growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, and to some extent I still think it is true (even though I much prefer Midler as a comedian and performer to Streisand, if not as a voice).

Did anyone here ever meet her in her various appearances in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Niagara Falls or her hometown of Shelbyville Indiana?

She lived longer than any other giantess in modern times & passed away at 53 in 2008.

and OMFG Meghan McCain is so annoying. From her incessant fanning out of Erika to insulting Teddi again (she first did so on WWHL by saying she was boring and only got on the show because of her last name-how ironic).

It just seems like a place that is out of the "coastal loop" so 'm think maybe it might be a good place to make a new start. I'd want to move somewhere like Lake View, Avondale or North Center, somewhere on the north side. Are those areas very expensive? if so where is a good safe neighborhood to move to. If I go, which I'm pretty sure I will, I'll be working in Greektown, so somewhere within easy commuting distance.

Apart from that, what's Chicago like? Good pace to live or should I just scrap the idea, but I really feel I want to make this move, but Chicago is something I've never had in my mind, I never thought about the place. I'm excited by the prospect but really nervous about it too; I'd know no one there, it would be a total fresh start but events in my life with a ruined love life and friends taking his side even though he cheated on me, and it's messy and maybe I should just go and start over in Chicago.

This post is a mess right? Well so is my train of thought right now.

Feel free to add anything specific that wasn't listed in the poll.

The first few films I had seen her in (one of which was Peggy Sue Got Married) I thought she was frumpy. In later films she is really beautiful. Her bone structure and the shape of her skull is very unique. Like that of a praying mantis.

Were any DLers here "saved" by John Hughes's films?

"I have been told more times than I could count, by both friends and strangers, including people in the L.G.B.T. community, that the films “saved” them. Leaving a party not long ago, I was stopped by Emil Wilbekin, a gay, African-American friend of a friend, who wanted to tell me just that. I smiled and thanked him, but what I wanted to say was: “Why?” There is barely a person of color to be found in the films, and no characters are openly gay. A week or so after the party, I asked my friend to put me in touch with him. In an e-mail, Wilbekin, a journalist who created an organization called Native Son, devoted to empowering gay black men, expanded upon what he had said to me as I had left the party. “The Breakfast Club,” he explained, saved his life by showing him, a kid growing up in Cincinnati in the eighties, “that there were other people like me who were struggling with their identities, feeling out of place in the social constructs of high school, and dealing with the challenges of family ideals and pressures.” These kids were also “finding themselves and being ‘other’ in a very traditional, white, heteronormative environment.” The lack of diversity didn’t bother him, he added, “because the characters and storylines were so beautifully human, perfectly imperfect and flawed.” He watched the films in high school, and while he was not yet out, he had a pretty good idea that he was gay."

The House Republican budget, titled “A Brighter American Future,” would remake Medicare by giving seniors the option of enrolling in private plans that compete with traditional Medicare, a system of competition designed to keep costs down but dismissed by critics as an effort to privatize the program. Along with other changes, the budget proposes to squeeze $537 billion out of Medicare over the next decade.

The budget would transform Medicaid, the federal-state health-care program for the poor, by limiting per capita payments or allowing states to turn it into a block-grant program — the same approach House Republicans took in their legislation that passed last year to repeal the Affordable Care Act (the repeal effort died in the Senate, but the GOP budget assumes that the repeal takes place). It also proposes adding work requirements for certain adults enrolled in Medicaid. Changes to Medicaid and other health programs would account for $1.5 trillion in savings.

Datalounge thinks that he's annoying but apparently plenty of others find him appealing.

WH chefs have been cooking steaks all day. But YOU KNOW Trump is gonna get that bucket of KFC on Air Force One as he flies to Duluth for a rally tonight.

Trump says it wouldn’t “look right” to allow congress to eat steaks while the border crisis of his making is going on. (Bets on when he’ll announce its back on again? He is the agent of chaos, so he’ll say it’s back on again)

Police obtained a search warrant and headed over to Keri’s home on August 13. Neighbor Pam Allen described the scene, “There were all these cars, and men with guns and carrying shields. It was like an army.” She readily admitted to abusing two children on five occasions. It’s believed that the children were her own six-year-old daughter and three-year-old son.

While her husband Cody was at work, she would bring them into the bathroom and bathe them while also touching them. To make matters worse, she said that she created the videos for a man who gave her money for them. This guy, who possibly lives in Texas, had been paying Keri for months for Snapchat videos of her masturbating. She claimed that she started making videos with the children per his request because she “needed the money” and because she just didn’t want to disappoint her sexting buddy.

For the five to six videos that she sent him molesting children, he gave her about $500-$600 over the course of a few months. Police have a warrant out for this man and are actively seeking to arrest him.

The Trump administration is looking to build tent cities at military posts around Texas to shelter the increasing number of unaccompanied migrant children being held in detention.

The Department of Health and Human Services will visit Fort Bliss, a sprawling Army base near El Paso in the coming weeks to look at a parcel of land where the administration is considering building a tent city to hold between 1,000 and 5,000 children, according to U.S. officials and other sources familiar with the plans.

Do I really have to ask?

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump's job approval rating averaged 45% in Gallup polling last week, tying his personal high. His previous 45% rating occurred in the first week after he was inaugurated as president.

Improved views of Trump last week may stem from his high-profile meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held early in the week.

Such a crush on him when we was playing on the tour....but now he is looking like a Teutonic Wayne Newton.

Maybe YOU can clarify them for me and probably YOU have questions that could finally be answered as well.

Firstly, the mother was sleeping and the child was resting, but the nun busts in on them. So selfish and inconsiderate and aggressive.

The stewardess is initially reticent about giving the nun access to the mother and child but in a New York second, she's like "Oh, OK" - she should be fired from her job, don't you think?

There's ZERO sound from the engines.

The other passengers - no one complains when the nun starts banging away at the fucking guitar, singing some tacky soapy song -not giving a shit about the rest of the passengers. She's a major attention seeker, isn't she?

She's a nun and she says she "likes Rock'n'Roll"?- it's a freaky thing to say and probably a lie to win over the child. Do you agree?

I could fill a page with questions. Maybe you have some yourself. I'd be interested to hear them.

Lastly, does anyone in the real world actually LIKE this song? - everyone on the plane seems to be so reassured by it. So happy. I'm not buying it. It's a horrible song.

I nominate both Philip Roth and Stephen King.

And he's handsome!

I’ve gone the same older, extremely fit, Russian masseur in NYC a few times now, and every time I go to him, I look for cues that he’s trying to turn me on or invite me to play with his dick. The problem is, I can never see exactly where he’s standing, so I don’t know where to reach out with my hand or elbow to press into his crotch.

Each time, I’ve lain on my stomach with my eventually erect penis pointing down between my thighs so he can see it when he lifts up the cover to massage my legs, I think. He does things like move my upper buttocks around in a circular motion so that I’m basically grinding my crotch into the table. It’s INCREDIBLY arousing. Did I mention he’s extremely handsome? He also has a huge dong. How do I know? Because I know someone who’s gone to him dozens of times over the past few years, and after two years of those visits, the massages turned sexual—with my friend “accidentally” pressing his hand against the masseur’s crotch and the masseur not moving away. That led to things like, the masseur undoing his fly for easier access, letting my friend reach in and feel his huge Russian cock, tickling his taint, etc. My friend, shockingly, has never actually gotten hard (too nervous for that, he says), so it’s sort of one-sided, in a way.

This is not a men-only massage parlor, and it’s not advertised as erotic. It’s a fully professional and licensed operation where this sort of thing is no doubt prohibited, yet it goes on anyway.

The other day when I got my massage, at two points, he pressed down on my taint/prostate, and it felt so good I let out a little moan and wanted to say, “Just spread my cheeks and fuck me up the ass with your huge Russian cock!” ...but we haven’t reached that level yet.

What should I do? By the way, I’m in my 30s and look younger than I am, I’m also fit and good looking and have a big 7.5” dick myself. And NO, this is NOT an EST.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with a professional, ostensibly non-erotic masseur, and what my next move should be? I just want to get my hands on his massive, backward curving tool and hairy balls!

I looked like a little kid till I was nearly 16, I was the shortest boy, sometimes even the shortest kid in my classes all through middle school and even though I'm over 21 I still get carded. I don't think I really even started puberty until I was about 15, (still knew I was gay by about eight or nine though). I didn't even have sex until I was 19, and even now I feel like I'm a bit behind others my age in terms of experience.

The big story is MJ getting married. I'm annoyed Shervin has been demoted to friend (he's eye candy) and Asa has also been demoted. Destiney got the upgrade to full-time and newcomer Nema is a full-timer too. I wish they'd expand the cast of full-timers a la Vanderpump Rules. 6 isn't enough. I hope Shervin and Asa attend all the group events. They do appear in the trailer.

Have we ever had a thread about them? It's amazing to realize they were basically three gay men and two faghags who formed a band at college and then found international success.

Angelina Jolie is melting down, and RadarOnline.com has learned her increasingly bitter divorce and custody battle with Brad Pitt is to blame!

“Brad’s in a far stronger position now he’s scored a greater share of custody, and she’s not handling it well at all,” an insider told Radar.

“The stress is all consuming and she’s been skipping meals and losing a lot of sleep.”

As Radar reported, Jolie, 43, was dealt a devastating blow recently when a judge in Los Angeles granted Pitt, 54, more time with his younger children — Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 9.

A spokesperson for Jolie blasted the information about the decision leaking.

“She knew this day would come eventually, but she got so used to the way things were and hoped Brad would abide by her terms instead of pushing for a greater custody share so aggressively,” the insider said, adding, “Ultimately, Angie can’t deprive Brad of seeing the kids.”

Pitt is now spending time in England so he can be near his kids while Jolie films Maleficent 2 in the country.

“The movie is a hugely important project for her but she’s finding it hard to focus,” said the source.

Which veered too far from the original and made senseless changes? Which made the source material too modern?

I'd say I thought the novel Cards On The Table was a wonderful work and the changes made by NICK DEAR were silly. Killing Rhoda instead of Anne. Plus making Mrs Lorimer much too young and the mother of fellow suspect Anne! So unnecessary!

Appointment With Death was unrecognisable! Sex ring? Over-elaborate murder involving a pig's heart and melting wax? What a load of old tosh!

Which ones were you, dear viewer, most disappointed in? For some people this will be their only experience of Christie and they will never know the changes forced on her often superior work!

Hot as hell out and bad summer TV -- so found myself watching and loving Youtube episodes of "Beauty and the Geek" -- but the Australia version. The guys are so damn cute, especially Gilbert below (before and after his makeover). And smart too. Dream guys.

Some of these are just great!

Literally.

The UN has set one of the definitions of genocide as "forcibly transferring children of a group to another group."

Is that the protagonist is a professional victim. When she claims her mother left her useless drunken husband and she quit school to take care of her father, all she did was enable his self destructive behavior.

If she had stayed in school and not given in to her drunken father, he would've been forced to stand on his own two feet and she could have had a better life. Yet we're supposed to feel sorry for this person who thinks victimization is a profession one should aspire to?

Then she repeats the behaviour with her boyfriend/husband and again, we are left wondering if she'll just leave in the fast car like her own mother did. Now not only is she a self indulgent cry baby but she is potentially a horrible person too.

He also takes a dig at the Trump administration's border policy. He might actually be flipping on him.

[quote]Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime confidant and former personal attorney, has resigned from his post as deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee's Finance Committee, sources close to the RNC told ABC News. In his resignation letter to Ronna McDaniel, the RNC chair, Cohen cited the ongoing special counsel investigation as one reason for his departure. ABC News has reviewed the email.“This important role requires the full time attention and dedication of each member. Given the ongoing Mueller and SDNY investigations, that simply is impossible for me to do,” he wrote.

[quote]Cohen also criticized the administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the southern border, the first time he’s distanced himself from the president. "As the son of a Polish holocaust survivor, the images and sounds of this family separation policy is heart wrenching,” Cohen wrote. “While I strongly support measures that will secure our porous borders, children should never be used as bargaining chips."

9:34 AM PT -- A source close to Heather tells us the 56-year-old was agitated during the day, so her parents went over to her home. We're told that's when Locklear got violent, choking her mother and hitting her father. Her mother called the police.

Heather Locklear was taken to a hospital for a psych evaluation after a family member claimed the actress was threatening to kill herself ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us a family member called 911 Sunday afternoon to report they were concerned for Heather. We're told both the Ventura County Fire and Sheriff's Departments responded to Locklear's home.

I'm not sure what it is that I find so fascinating about these shows. But they're all great.

Not trolling. The case of Little Jacob was finally solved and it was his mother and her girlfriend who abused him and dumped him in Galveston Bay. This is not the first lesbian couple in the news for killing a male child.

Jennifer Beals (Bette), Kate Moennig (Shane), and Leisha Hailey (Alice) are the first to sign-on.

Excited that it is coming back?

This show used to be really good, and even as recently as last year was slightly interesting.

But it's a massive shitfest now. And Derek is such an asshole I can't imagine any frau wanting him.

This is like ER - all the shit that could possibly surprise anyone has already happened.

Unknown if trump will sign it.

He was just on Good Morning Britain. He made Harry promise he'd never lay a hand on her before Pa would give his blessing Also, he claims Harry thinks Trump should be given a chance.

Video to follow.

Inspired by the thread for Streetcar Named Desire--the 1995 version with DL fave Jessica Lange. I have no strong feelings about her one way or another, but that production would make my hate watch list due to the presence of Alec Baldwin who I couldn't stand even before he swelled up like a tick.

I don't remember if Tommy Lee Jones ever did Stanley and never saw the version with Treat Williams, who I'm betting would have been excellent just based on his performance in Smooth Talk. Also agree with the poster who suggested Ed Harris (who would probably be more likely to have been cast as Mitch, even when he was young). I'd like to have seen Lange's longtime partner Sam Shepard in the role, but my top pick would have been Shephard's old friend Scott Glenn.

By the time he had his breakthrough role in Urban Cowboy, he was too old for the part (people forget Brando was in his mid twenties when he created the role)--but in the clip from UC he had the perfect balance of real danger and sex on a stick. What could have been....

Stupid goddamn blobfish.

Who has watched NCIS: New Orleans on here? Scott Bakula plays Dwayne Pride. Lucas Black plays Christopher LaSalle. Zoe McLellan plays Meredith Brody. Rob Kerkovich plays Sebastian Lund. CCH Pounder plays Dr. Loretta Wade. Daryl Mitchell plays Patton Plame. Shalita Grant plays Sonja Percy. The show is part of the NCIS franchise. Currently the show is in the second season. What does anyone think of the show so far. If so, please let us know. Thank you all very much.

What a mess. The writers room sounds like a disaster. These idiots didn’t get the original Roseanne. Sounds like Whoopi Goldberg’s horrible Whoopi! sitcom. Let’s try to make another All in the Family. That wasn’t Roseanne.

Does anyone else do this? I just started and really like the way it makes me feel.%0D %0D Basically, I eat during a certain window each day - say, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. which is what I usually do. I like to go 16-19 hours on a fast each day.%0D %0D Not continuous eating, but small meals of protein, vegetables, and good fats (little carbs) throughout the day until 2 pm. Then I am done. I wake up with a flat, flat stomach and no desire to eat.%0D %0D But I do eat to keep my metabolism up, I exercise, and get all my calories in by 2. Then I'm done. I make my last meal the biggest (a late lunch usually) and that's it.%0D %0D So far I've lost 29 pounds in two months doing this. Evenings I'm with friends or have occasion to eat after 2, I just re-set the fasting period from there.

Has anyone noticed this? People tend to be nicer to people with good looks than to people who are homely looking. Life's unfair. We can't really do anything about our looks.

There was a survey in France about this. Where they found on average a good looking person will get a better job than their plain looking counterpart.

Why are all former Spanish colonies kind of shitty places?

Is it the Catholic influence? Mediterranean enervation? The bullfighting (kidding)?

There's not one developed former Spanish colony - Chile is close but if you've been there, you'll know it's a kind of sclerotic, overly regulated economy with lots of rent-seeking (e.g., you need a prescription for Tylenol, etc.). Like it's "developed" by the skin of its teeth (Turkey is in the OECD too, for fuck's sake).

The Philippines, all of Latin America - even Spain itself is kind of mediocre: but for real estate bubbles and Indetex (Zara), there wouldn't be much wealth production there, and that's only made possible by inclusion in the EU (a large market - e.g., German investors and tourists). It's all former glory in Spain...

What's with Spanish culture that lends itself to chaos, corruption, and a slapdash attitude towards development?

At least Spain is gay-friendly and has good drug-saturated circuit parties or whatever, but seriously, WTF?

British colonies... I think they've done better. Even French colonies, I think.

I can't believe that people used to watch this dreck! It absolutely doesn't hold up, eighteen years later.

Showtime is re-airing episodes in June (I guess for Pride month), and I started watching it for the first time. Ugh.

Oh, the cliches! And the horrible dialogue!

I remember my older brother (who is also gay) used to regard QAF as "gay canon," and he did everything to imitate and emulate those guys.

Looking back, all I can say is that the Brian Kinney character is repulsive. I would HATE to have someone like that in my life who is arrogant, inconsiderate, egotistical, and has no regard for other peoples' feelings, but always seems to think that he can skate by on his good looks. In other words - PUNCH AND DELETE.

Michael was whiny, and Justin was annoying. The other two guys were gay cliche fillers, sort of like Ted Allen and Tom Filicia on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."

The whole thing is nearly unwatchable, some 18 years after its debut.

Yes the show was created by a gay man (Kevin Williamson).

Went to see it tonight. Walked out about halfway through. A good friend said, “It’s a great movie for people who usually don’t like superhero movies.” OK, there were a few cute throwaway gags. But most of it was plotless, senseless, violent and just plain dumb.

The next film in the series will likely oust Affleck from his post as The Caped Crusader. The Wrap reports how the upcoming Batman film will focus on a younger Bruce Wayne, effectively discharging Ben Affleck from the franchise.

Affleck made his first appearance as Batman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, before reprising his role as Gotham City's Finest in the ensemble film Justice League.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Matt Reeves had recently submitted the first act of The Batman, a title constructed by Affleck during his initial attempt as the film's screenwriter.

Affleck was originally pegged to write, direct, and star in the upcoming DC Comics production, but decided to step down from his post and allow Reeves to helm the project and exercise creative control.

Warner Bros. is apparently revising their strategy for its upcoming roster of DC superhero films, focusing more on standalone narratives as opposed to interconnected storylines between its roster of protagonists.

Well, that sure sucks

I hated, hated hated his song Grace Kelly and his whole routine at the time, so I turned off and ignored him. But someone gave me Sinfonia Pop as a gift not long ago.

His songs on Origin of Love and No Place in Heaven are actually good, he speaks 4 languages fluently and he models for Valentino.

There is a serious lack of trust in social media such as Facebook and Twitter and consumers expect brands that advertise on such platforms to urgently find solutions, according to research published Monday.

Privacy concerns and the circulation of fake news are contributing to people's distrust of content on social platforms, said the study by public relations consultancy Edelman, with 70 percent of respondents expecting businesses and advertisers to put pressure on social media sites to address false information and remove offensive content.

old thread in the link below

Lisa Marie Presley hit back at her ex-manager, claiming he repeatedly assured her that she was not having financial trouble as he lost her $100 million fortune, in court documents exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com.

Elvis’ daughter and Barry Siegel are locked in a vicious court battle over her squandered wealth, with the King’s daughter alleging that he lost all of her money.

The new documents obtained by Radar were filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Presley claimed she fired Siegel in 2015, “after discovering that Siegel had kept LMP [Lisa Marie Presley] in the dark about the Trust’s true financial condition, having lost more than $100 million of the Trust’s net worth in a matter of only 10 years, and putting the trust deeply into debt,” according to court docs obtained by Radar.

She blamed the financial crisis on “a single decision in 2005 to sell 85% of the Trust’s stuck in “Elvis Presley Enterprise,’” in the documents.

Presley provided text messages with Siegel that she claimed show she was mislead by him into believing her finances were solvent.

“January 26, 2012: Lisa asks How is everything going with my finances? Siegel replies ‘We are in good shape on your finances… I understand you’re going to Memphis at the end of the month. Any plans to tour now?”

Another text from Siegel to Presley read: “May 16, 2013 I would like to set up a meeting to go over finances… We are OK and I would like to go over the tour budget with you when I get back… Hope all is well Barry.”

And she claimed another stated: “February 17, 2014 OK I understand and now I can work with your wants to be sure you can maintain your lifestyle and provide for your future as well. I will bring information regarding the very highline homes throughout the world but for now take a look at the website Exclusiveresorts.com. As soon as we sell the properties I will start the search for the proper plane this is doable (sic).”

Presley also claimed a text message from Siegel tried to convince her she was not having money troubles in docs obtained by Radar.

“May 24, 2014 Barry writes I know this has been a very difficult time for you and be assured that we are doing everything on our end to maintain both your current lifestyle in the future security of your family.”

Presley and Siegel are scheduled to meet in court on June 18, 2018.

[quote]Fewer teens are having sex than at any point since 1991, a national survey of U.S. high school students finds. But among those students who are sexually active, fewer are using condoms, raising the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections.

[quote]About 40 percent of teens surveyed in 2017 reported having ever had sex. That’s down from about 54 percent in 1991, the first year the survey was conducted. Of the roughly 29 percent of students who are currently sexually active — defined as having had sexual intercourse with at least one person in the three months before the survey — nearly 54 percent reported that either they or their partner used a condom the last time they had had sex. Ten years ago, about 61 percent of teens reported condom use.

[quote]Nationwide, 85.4% of students identified as heterosexual, 2.4% identified as gay or lesbian, 8.0% identified as bisexual, and 4.2% were not sure of their sexual identity.

After losing my copies of all of the monthly Gap In-Store Playlists from 1992 to 2006, I thought it was hopeless to even dream about reacquiring them. It took awhile, but I created my blog in 2015 and then posted a link on here at the DL on 12/31/2015. It took over a year for someone to contact me, but when he did, it was because of the thread at the DL. This guy has shared over 50 Gap, GapBody, GapKids and babyGap playlists with me. Later another guy saw the thread on the DL, and he shared with me another 25 playlists.

So, as you can see, the DataLounge has helped me immensely in getting closer to my goal of reacquiring all of the Gap In-Store Playlists from when I worked there from 1992 to 2006. Gay men are the sort who would save the monthly playlists form when they worked at Gap.

Therefore, I'm asking again: if you worked at Gap from 1992 to 2006 and saved your store's copies of the paper playlists that came with each month's CD/tape, please share them with me. If you know someone who saved the playlists, please show them this thread.

Read the first page of the blog if you have any questions about my quest. My email address is on every page of the blog.

Thanks to those who have helped, and looking forward to receiving more Gap In-Store Playlists to share with everyone!

I'm hopeful of yes, within the next 40 years.

Choose your slice of the cake(s).

Evangelicals better watch out. The acceptance of everything that Trump does, no matter how outrageous, will come back to bite them.

"I wanted to tell everyone that I am gay, and although that doesn't change anything for me, and hopefully not for you, I just thought it was a really important thing to share with everyone.

"Although sexuality is a small part of someone, if you shut it off, then you don't allow yourself to be fully known. If you shut off one thing of yourself, then you shut off so many other things.

"I wanted to do this video as well, because when I think about all the kids out there that are being bullied, or are really struggling with their sexuality, even teenage or adults, I just want you to know that you are not alone."

He then goes on to say why he hadn't come out in the past and said it was because the acting industry "isn't very welcoming".

"There aren't many gay actors out there in my age range that I feel I can relate to. I don't think there are many opportunities out there for gay men to play straight roles," he added.

"While I love watching gay films about gay relationships, where straight actors have taken on the role, I'm also questions more and more why is a straight actor in that role when there are so many gay actors out there?"

He also admitted that coming out to his family was difficult but most of them have accepted it and still love him "regardless".

He was great in Westworld and the Sundance series Hap and Leonard. He's cute in a nerdy kind of way. What do we know about him?

Another day, another Waffle House situation.

This time involving a 22-year-old man named Anthony Wall. The incident which has since gone viral, displayed police officers using excessive force as he was choked and slammed to ground—following being called the N-word and a f**got by Waffle House employees.

Initially, there was outrage from the Black community as there was when Chikesia Clemons, who just a week prior, was also victimized by employees and police who slammed her to ground and exposed her breasts during arrest. However, the silence around Anthony is continuing to grow, leaving many to wonder if homophobia is once again rendering people’s decision to stand with a Black man deserving of the same support.

When I first notice that I hadn’t seen as much coverage with Anthony, I read a story that confirmed he is indeed a gay Black man. Instantly, I went to Twitter to sound off about the silence from many segments of the Black activism community, who have seemingly been less concerned or propelled to find justice in this situation, unlike that of Chikesia.

Reading the comments confirmed much of what I feared. Several agreed that one, they hadn’t really heard about the story, and two, that it appears that homophobia has played a role in the way many have decided to respond…or prompted them to stay silent. There was even commentary about how Anthony potentially played a role in the situation that escalated between himself, the Waffle House employees and the Warsaw, NC police. A statement that we rarely use when discussing hetero police harrasement and violence.

Imagine if we said Eric Garner shouldn’t have been illegally selling cigarettes or that Tamir Rice shouldn’t have been playing with a toy gun or that Mike Brown shouldn’t have been J-walking. The Black community would never allow the “they brought it on themselves” narrative to thrive because we know when dealing with Black interactions with police, right, wrong or indifferent, we will always be at a disadvantage in attempting to achieve justice.

One must also take note that this is a pattern of behavior noticed when violence happens against Black queer people, whether it be physical or civil rights oriented. Over the past year we have had issues with state laws blocking queer sex education, blocking the ability for us to adopt, and still allowing people to use the “gay panic” defense.

I just died a little inside.

Who in the donkey party is focused on voiding the Repubs chance of holding a constitutional convention?

Shouldn't this be an ongoing topic of major concern? Like level 10 out of 10?

As a political junkie, I can't recall a single time it was brought up by any Dem out on the campaign trail or even in the liberal media.

Can anyone here post any articles written by left wingers from 2016 to the present where its being made the top priority it should be? Michael Moore? Steinem?Bill or Hillary? Pelosi? Debbie W.-S.? The Obamas? anybody?

Repubs could rewrite all of the liberal groups rights = feminists, unions, LGBT, racial minorities, religious minorities, etc. but I'm not aware of any left leaning movement having a fund set up to target the repubs chances of getting a constitutional convention held in the future with ads, voter turnout, etc. on this issue.

Liberals have been laughing at Trump's wall but it's still moving forward. They don't seem to take conservatives seriously until they are in office. I'm not confident in any current party/movement/alliance's ability to thwart their plans. This should be all non republicans # 1 priority not immigration.

Discuss.

OK so the whore, slutty mother, goes to the meeting and points out the other people in the room have issues too.

What the song fails to note is that the PTA's criticism of her were accurate and just because they too have foibles, doesn't take away her shortcoming.

Thus Mrs Johnson or more accurately Mrs Whoreson was not a fit mother and the other town folk not being fit, doesn't change her into a fit mother.

Savin-Williams is a professor emeritus of development psychology at Cornell University and the author most recently of Mostly Straight: Sexual Fluidity Among Men. We hear a lot about the Big Three Sexualities — straight, bisexual and gay. Most of us assume that these three orientations encompass the universe of sexual identities. But there is a new kid on the block: The mostly straight male.

To the uninitiated, mostly straight may seem paradoxical. How can a man be mostly heterosexual? If you’re a young man, you might assume that either you’re straight or you’re not, meaning you’re likely gay and maybe bisexual. Yet the evidence suggests that more young men identify or describe themselves as mostly straight than identify as either bisexual or gay combined.

A 2011–2013 U.S. government poll found that among 18- to 24-year-old men, 6% marked their sexual attractions as “mostly opposite sex.” That’s nearly 1 million young men. Yet when these men were forced to choose between straight, bisexual or gay, about three-quarters marked straight because for them bisexual, even if it is understood as “bisexual-leaning straight,” is too gay to accurately describe their identity. Given such constraints, these young men were left with no place to truthfully register their sexuality, thus forcing them to be less than honest. Talking to them, I found that in the most general sense, a mostly straight young man is sexually and/or romantically distinctive; we might say that he’s fluid or flexible, supposedly uncharacteristic of male sexuality. Traditionally, our understanding has been that if you’re male and have even a slight attraction to the same sex, then you must be gay. Even if this isn’t immediately apparent, we tell men, it will become so once you come to terms with your true self and exit your “phase” of bicuriosity or questioning. Women, by contrast, we give more space to be sexually fluid, as the sizeable literature on the subject attests.

The mostly straight man belongs to a growing trend of young men who are secure in their heterosexuality yet remain aware of their potential to experience far more. Perhaps he’s felt attracted to or fantasized about another guy to a slight degree or intermittently. He might or might not be comfortable with this seeming contradiction, a hetero guy who, despite his lust for women, rejects a straight label, a sexual category and a sexual description that feels foreign. He’d rather find another place on the sexual/romantic continuum, some location that fits him more.

I found this in another thread but felt it deserved its own!

"The recently constructed acronyms even lend to my theory that the transgender and “sex workers’ rights” issues have become amalgamated to the point where you literally cannot support one without supporting the other. SWERF (Sex Worker Exclusionary Radical Feminists) and TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists) handily rhyme. Both groups seem to realize how important merging their interests is. Pro-prostitution lobbyists regularly tap into support from the transgender lobby and vice versa. I came to realize just how handy this was for both groups during the campaign in Britain to introduce a law to criminalize those who pay for sex. It was 2009 and the proposed bill I mentioned earlier was being debated in Parliament, which would criminalize the purchase of sex from a person who was trafficked or otherwise coerced. It was still considered important to get this bill through, even though many were skeptical about it because it separated the women who could show that they had been pimped or forced in some way from those who were being otherwise abused and exploited in the sex trade, and it would be practically impossible to police."

Too "Chicken Little" or prescient? After reading the entire article, I'm not feeling very optimistic.

[quote]It is impossible for any doomed population to grasp how fragile the decayed financial, social and political system is on the eve of implosion. All the harbingers of collapse are visible: crumbling infrastructure; chronic underemployment and unemployment; the indiscriminate use of lethal force by police; political paralysis and stagnation; an economy built on the scaffolding of debt; nihilistic mass shootings in schools, universities, workplaces, malls, concert venues and movie theaters; opioid overdoses that kill some 64,000 people a year; an epidemic of suicides; unsustainable military expansion; gambling as a desperate tool of economic development and government revenue; the capture of power by a tiny, corrupt clique; censorship; the physical diminishing of public institutions ranging from schools and libraries to courts and medical facilities; the incessant bombardment by electronic hallucinations to divert us from the depressing sight that has become America and keep us trapped in illusions. We suffer the usual pathologies of impending death. I would be happy to be wrong. But I have seen this before. I know the warning signs. All I can say is get ready.

Let's face it. She is the one who is responsible for Kardashians, public's interest in Celebrities lives, love for brands and materialistic possessions and sexual liberalism.

Continuation of the discussion about the movie that seemed to have triggered some.

[quote] I had one quibble. [bold]You probably could guess what it is.[/bold] I really was fine until Jennifer Garner says “you deserve everything you want.”

[quote] The idea of “I deserve this” was pretty prevalent and I guess it’s affirming. I guess. [bold]But it sort of knocked me into that place of “yes, cute young white boys in very rich neighborhoods in liberal communities are so very deserving.[/bold] I hope it all works out for him. (Spoiler: it will)”
