She's telling the casting lady that she has a "crew" of dancers, and that her song "Everybody" is out.

Doesn't that mean she was already well known?

How does the lady interviewing her, not know who she is?

Since the term "mankeeping” was introduced in a 2024 research paper by Stanford University sociologist Angelica Ferrara, it has landed squarely in the 2025 zeitgeist.

But the next memes are likely to identified in the context of gay and lesbian relationships.

Dickdraining referrs to the emotional and physical labor that gay men often do for their male partners. The concept has since polarized gay couples, particularly long-term partners and married gays, and sparked TikTok debates and inspired comment-section screeds. Think: gay men who must drain their partners dicks as frequently as they must fluff pillows, freshen tablescapes, and stock the bar in pool cabana.

After learning about dickdraining from social media or buzzy articles, many gay men have felt seen, vindicated — finally, a word to describe one of the hard-to-quantify exhaustive tasks of being in a homosexual relationship!

And it doesn't stop with dickdraining.

Editors and webmasters in gay media have received an avalanche of meme-ready complaints about the downsides of maintaining a secure and stable gay relationship.

This thread is dedicated to a discussion of all the relationship challenges today's gay couples must bring out of the shadows for a public airing out.

In her own district. Dumped as ambassador to UN and now this. Elise is not having a great year.

My dishwasher stopped working about 6 months ago. I tried to just live with for a while as I’ve been too busy to deal with purchasing one and having it installed. That was a mistake.

It takes me forever to wash dishes, especially flatware, and I’ve found I cannot keep up a regular routine where it doesn’t become overwhelming.

I’ve lived without a washer and dryer but I cannot live without a dishwasher. So what is the one appliance you’ve found you cannot live without?

On the 65th anniversary of the Johnny Stompanato murder & the eve of Bette Davis' 115th birthday, here's my look at 1964's "Where Love Has Gone." Based on Harold Robbins' thinly veiled take off on the Lana/Cheryl/Johnny scandal, Susan Hayward plays a wayward sculptor with a troubled teen... Joey Heatherton! A little-seen actor plays gigolo/Johnny. Mike Connors is the husband/father. And BETTE plays the dragon mother-in-law! More camp than a Boy Scout jamboree! More fun here:

They're so much cheaper than in the US. I know Turkey has become the hair transplant capital of the world, and I've heard veneers from there referred to as "Turkey Teeth," but wondering if anyone here has ever gotten them?

My own teeth are fine but as I've gotten older my upper lip has gotten longer and now hides my upper teeth when I smile, making it look like I gave meth mouth/no teeth. I looked into a lip lift by a plastic surgeon but was told I wasn't a good candidate; the amount of tooth show would be very minimal and I'd have a scar.

Crazy, nasty, cokeheaded secret lez, or misunderstood working girl trying to make it in a man’s world? Her biographers say she had no talent except reading off a teleprompter.

He found himself a lady porn star, but mostly wanted to talk about her co-stars’ dicks.

Baer, however, is in his own world and doesn’t notice that Canyon puts the cheese back in the refrigerator with teeth marks in it. Then he begins to ejaculate on his thigh. Minutes later, Baer asks Canyon if it was as good for her as it was for him. And with the cum still apparently on his leg, Baer pulls his jeans back on. Baer now wants to set Canyon up with two Chippendale dancers so he can watch. Canyon notes that Baer’s glance at their calendar is a bit too loving and his comments about their good looks a little too excessive, so she suggests that she wouldn’t mind seeing Baer getting it on with those two.

She's a hot mess.

But GenZ really seems to love her.

[quote] Hayden Silas Anhedönia came out as gay to her family at the age of 12, and on her 20th birthday, she publicly came out as a trans woman: "As I got older, I found out there were other options", she said. Reflecting on this, she recalled: "It was made clear to everyone that I was not like other people. Whenever I started to develop, I started to come into my own as a trans woman. We were a house divided—it was me versus my whole town." The singer later identified herself as a bisexual woman.

It's a Hollywood classic that I've never watched, so I decided to sit down and have a look. Good lord, what a dull film. I will say that Polanski nailed the look and feel of 1930s LA - the clothes, the hair, the cars, the shots of the art deco buildings. But the pacing of the movie was agonizingly slow, and it seemed like every line of dialogue spoken by the actors was unnecessarily drawn out.

Nicholson was great in it. Faye was...well...Faye. And who thought making a noir about water rights in LA would be compelling viewing? Plus, the movie's called "Chinatown," but absolutely no action takes place in Chinatown except in the last five minutes of the movie.

What do fellow DL movie buffs think of this one?

God bless gay art directors.

Disney posted a promotional video for Freakier Friday to their social media accounts featuring Jamie Lee Curtis in a low cut top. The internet took immediate notice.

We've had variations on this question/discussion here before, I think, but this has gone a bit viral on social media so I thought I'd ask it here.

The question: Who is the artist with politics you disagree strongly with, whose politics *do* (in your view) influence their art, that you still think is talented and whose work you enjoy?

This could be a musician, actor, writer/author, anyone who is creating art of some kind.

Swiss watchmaker Swatch has apologised and pulled an ad featuring a model pulling the corners of his eyes, after the image prompted uproar among Chinese social media users.

Critics said the pose resembled the racist "slanted eye" historically used to mock Asians.

Calls for a boycott of Swatch products grew on Chinese social media as the ad went viral.

Swatch said it had "taken note of the recent concerns regarding the portrayal of a model".

Is it still in place, in the UK?

Or are there two systems now? One in which you can buy your way in, and the other an aristocratic "social class" system, which is status rich and money-poor?

Can rich people buy their way into the aristocratic class system? Or will they always remain outsiders?

Are foreigners allowed in the British class system? How about people like Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, who look and sound posh? Can they enter the upper class, just by looks?

It fascinates me that the UK has/had such a rigid class system, that actually locked people out from advancing beyond their station.

Interviewed by Dave Karger for the recent TCM Film Festival, at a showing of Brigadoon (1954). The two nonagenarians talk about working in Brigadoon, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and White Christmas. About Jack Cole, Gene Kelly, the casting couch and Arthur Freed, a preview of A Star is Born, and what it was like to be one of the chorus kids. Just fun to see these two talking about anything.

I have observed that some of my acquaintances place significant emphasis on their familial ties to certain cities, often citing their longstanding family presence. For instance, they might say, "We could never leave St. Louis. Our family has been here for 300 years, and everyone knows who we are." However, in reality, their family is scarcely recognized outside of minor mentions in old local library books.

Interestingly, these same friends tend to be highly critical and display a notable level of arrogance, which I suspect stems from insecurity. Despite their assertions of family prominence, I have yet to discern any substantial basis for these claims. This leads me to wonder if their statements are more a manifestation of delusions of grandeur.

Personally, I am related to historically significant individuals, including some of the founding fathers of the United States. Nevertheless, I would never consider moving to Philadelphia to assert my prominence based on my lineage, as such behavior would likely be met with ridicule.

Do you know people like this? What makes them tick?

MSNBC host Antonia Hylton has suggested that Donald Trump’s aides, particularly Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, may have been “frightened” by what they had witnessed during the president’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Hylton spoke to former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul—an Obama appointee—about Trump’s summit with Putin in Anchorage on Friday.

“A lot of the press corps that was there, they reported in the minutes and hours after the presser that they saw members of the administration, like Karoline Leavitt, look ashen, almost frightened after what they had seen behind closed doors. What did that indicate to you?” Hylton asked McFaul.

but don't worry, he's still gay.

Howard Stern seems to be stuck with Sirius XM for the foreseeable future!

The media personality and the company have reportedly taken a bold step in their working relationship by extending terms with a new and juicy mega deal.

Howard Stern's perceived turnaround emerges after weeks of heavy speculation that he was exiting Sirius XM for good, in search of a new and greener pasture.

I've been laid up with the flu for the past week and have gone down the YouTube rabbit hole watching police bodycam videos, everything from DUI arrests to drunks getting kicked out of bars to ex-girlfriends stalking their ex-boyfriends. Most of the videos are hilarious (and most take place in Floriduh, of course), and I love how all the people who get arrested inevitably shriek, "I didn't do anything!" as the handcuffs are placed on them. It's also fun watching deadbeats without a dime scream, "I'm calling my attorney," as if these WalMart rejects have a lawyer on retainer.

Anybody else get oddly entertained by these?

Since the term "mankeeping” was introduced in a 2024 research paper by Stanford University sociologist Angelica Ferrara, it has landed squarely in the 2025 zeitgeist.

Referring to the emotional labor that women often do for their male partners, the concept has since polarized the sexes, sparked TikTok debates and inspired comment-section screeds. Think: wives who are their husbands’ best friends, romantic partners and therapists.

After learning about mankeeping from social media or buzzy articles, many women have felt seen, vindicated — finally, a word to describe the hard-to-quantify exhaustion of being in a heterosexual relationship!

It’s like Bronx Beat!

Their whole situation could give one a migraine - Abby is the one that got married, so is she on the birth certificate as the mother of the child? Does the unmarried sister think that she gave birth too or that's her sisters kid? Is she pissed every time she has to get up to tend to the infant that she didn't sign up for? The husband is another puzzle - is it awkward to kiss and have sex with your wife when her sister is one inch away?

Fatt Damon:

In a new interview, the 57-year-old late-night talk show host revealed that he once had the 54-year-old Oscar-winning actor over at his house for dinner and he nearly choked to death while eating ribs.

“Matt Damon was over at my house one night for dinner,” Jimmy recalled to Variety. “I made pork ribs. He came late, was very hungry, and started eating fast. He started choking on a pork rib. It was stuck in his throat for about an hour and a half. His brother was there.”

“I said, ‘We have got to get him to the hospital,’ because if he dies in my house, I’m going to prison for the rest of my life,” he continued. “I will never be able to explain this as anything other than a murder. We did a lot of YouTube-ing and finally concluded that eating little bits of bread was the way to get that rib to work its way down into his stomach — and bread saved him. We tried the Heimlich many times. It was too far down.”

These two guys started showing up on my Facebook reels recently. They're two straight "homies" who make adult content catering to gay audiences, but apparently, the farthest they've ever gone is kissing and getting blow jobs from gay guys. They also have a podcast where they talk with other OnlyFans douchebros.

Apparently, they're raking in the cash. How? Neither one of them is hot, their dicks aren't all that impressive, and it doesn't look like they do anything that's more than light gaybaiting on their OnlyFans.

I can imagine the gays are this desperate.

Pick one.

Anyone had it done? How awful is it?

I'm curious whether you usually wear traditional jeans, pants cut like jeans not made of denim, chinos, or non-cotton (wool or synthetic) pants., and also what brands you buy

I'd make a poll, but it would be too complicated since most of us wear different pants for work and for leisure.

I'm asking men over 45 because our butts tend to start to fall at that age.

When will it happen?

I'm 41. I don't know anybody watching this shit, and I can't imagine it being popular with people younger.

As undergraduate degrees have lost their payoffs thanks to AI, young people have turned to advanced schooling to unlock jobs with salaries exceeding $200,000 (or in some cases, a $100 million signing bonus).

However, one former Google leader says Gen Z should not be so fast to jump on the PhD train, as even doctoral degrees may have lost their edge.

“AI itself is going to be gone by the time you finish a PhD. Even things like applying AI to robotics will be solved by then,” Jad Tarifi, the founder of Google’s first generative-AI team, told Business Insider.

That’s the specter critics of Donald Trump have raised after he fired the head of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics this month after disappointing jobs data.

While there’s no indication the data has been rigged (assertions from the White House aside) – or will be rigged in the future – the White House’s nomination of a partisan to lead the government’s economic data agency was enough to worry global economic and financial circles.

Came home from an eleven hour workday to find someone had busted out my backdoor and rummaged through my house.

They stole some old colognes (Gaultier, Versace, etc...) but other than that nothing else.

My circuit board is on my utility porch so as soon as they got in they flipped every switch so my indoor cameras got nothing.

They spoke with my neighbor in the home behind mine and she gave them a description of someone she saw in the alley that separates our homes around the time my cameras shut off.

I was mainly worried about my 3 cats cause I could only find 2 when I got home. I figured he got out but when I was finished showering a few moments ago there he was eating/drinking out of his dishes so I'll sleep with much relief tonight.

He filmed that movie four years ago. This has to be a conscious decision.

Is he on the spectrum? He does that thing where they hug themselves when they get overstimulated.

I was reviewing my Facebook friends list to see whom to delete. I was shocked that I hadn't heard from or seen any posts for 3/4th of them in years. I had forgotten most of them were even my Facebook Friends.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been arrested again, this time on suspicion of rape, police said Tuesday.

Marius Borg Høiby is the stepson of the heir to the Norwegian throne, Crown Prince Haakon, and the son of Mette-Marit from a previous relationship. He has no royal title or official duties.

Borg Høiby was arrested late Monday in Oslo on a preliminary charge of having had “sexual intercourse with someone who is unconscious or for other reasons unable to resist the act.” A preliminary charge comes before a formal charge and allows authorities to detain suspects during an investigation.

Police did not say when the alleged rape occurred, but only that “the victim must have been unable to resist the act.” Norwegian media said Borg Høiby denied the accusation.

Hege Salomon, the lawyer for the woman who was allegedly raped, said “she is having a hard time.” She told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that police, not the woman, had brought the case. The woman was not identified.

The royal palace had no comment, the news agency NTB said.

On Aug. 4, police officers responded to a disturbance in downtown Oslo and briefly detained Borg Høiby. He faced preliminary charges of bodily harm and criminal damage and was released. Details were unclear but police said there was “a relationship between the suspect and the victim.”

More preliminary charges have since been filed against Borg Høiby, including violating several restraining orders and driving without a valid driver’s license. In all, the cases involve four women and one man.

The case was top news in Norway, where the royals are popular.

Borg Høiby, 27, lives with the royal couple and their two children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus.

Norway’s future queen made headlines in 2001 when she married Haakon because she was a single mother who had lived a freewheeling life with a companion who had been convicted on drug charges.

What are they?

Weird to be there unless added to the official congressional record

I don't know what makes me more upset, that the car crashed through the window or that there are people who call themselves "food influencers".

Some of the comments are hilarious.

I grew up on the west coast and have been to a few major amusement parks in my life (Disneyland, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Luna Park/Coney Island), but there are so many out there that look incredibly fun. I've heard good things about Lagoon Park in Utah, Cedar Point in Ohio, and Kennywood in Pittsburgh. This rollercoaster in Kennywood looks absolutely insane. What are some hidden gems?

We all love our faves, but every artist has that one clunker in their discography. Which album do you think is the worst from your favorite artist?

For me, it’s Donna Summer’s Mistaken Identity. Easy-listening New Jack Swing and “hip-hop” that sounded less like a comeback and more like something moms bought to play in the minivan, hoping their kids would think they were cool.

DL fave and unemployed TV host Joy Reid has gone on another wild, racial tirade on the very timely topic of Elvis being called “The King of Rock n’ Roll.”

Joy was able to take time away from searching for those scallywags who hacked into her old blog and made those nasty comments about gay people.

While the U.S. burns, Joy continues to address the issues that truly matter to America while being as divisive as possible.

Because we need a new one. Who is Toni Tipton-Martin and why is she on the show? Yes, I know she's a writer and editor-in-chief at Cook's Country. But what does she add to the program? It seems she provides some historical background that was presented much better by people like Bridget, Julia, Elle, and Dan. Also, when she's doing her presentation, there's always a shot of her from the side. For no reason. She has very little personality, and she's even worse when she's accompanying one of the chefs. It seems her only comments have to do with how something smells. The shows are pretty diverse. Were they not diverse enough? Too many cooks.

Kate Middleton and Prince William will be moving their family out of Adelaide Cottage and into Forest Lodge in Windsor. However, the Prince and Princess of Wales's relocation to their "forever home" isn't free from scandal.

According to a new report, Kate and William's new Forest Lodge neighbors have allegedly been told they can't remain in their homes, suggesting the couple's "true colors" are on display in their decision to move.

The Mail on Sunday reported that, before Kate, William, and their children move into the "300-year-old Forest Lodge," a number of neighbors will need to move. In fact, "two separate families who lived in cottages next to the country mansion were asked to vacate their properties."

A woman in the background could be heard saying, “‘They are searching me full-on right now.”

When I was growing up, they were a big deal--the most famous was the 1974 [italic]Emmanuelle: the Joys of a Woman[/italic] starring Sylvia Kristel. It had about a million official and unofficial sequels, including the "Black Emmanuelle" films.

I could never understand what the point was: if you wanted to watch porn, why wouldn't you watch hardcore porn? But there was a huge market for these kinds of films.

there were even gay softcore titles by the 1990s. But I never see them showing anymore. What happened?

The next generation of treatments aims to help patients lose a quarter of their weight

For decades, people who are overweight have been given simple advice: move more and eat less. However, in more than 80% of cases, this approach only works in the short term. A 2023 article published in Science highlighted that, despite what popular culture and many doctors believe, there is little consensus on the causes of the obesity pandemic. “Although it is often asserted that increasing sedentary behavior is a major cause of the obesity pandemic, this is far from clear, and present evidence does not support this conclusion,” the authors wrote. An editorial in The Lancet in February lamented the lack of consensus on a clear definition of obesity, despite it affecting nearly an eighth of the world’s population.

In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Agency (FDA) approved the use of semaglutide, the popular drug Ozempic, which was originally intended for diabetes. It quickly became a miracle solution to obesity by reducing the uncontrollable desire for food and achieving weight loss of up to 15% in 68 weeks. It was the first in a series of drugs that are, for the first time, effective against obesity and can help lessen the moral judgment that accompanies it.

Semaglutide’s main competitor is tirzepatide, produced by the U.S. pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly. While semaglutide mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide), a hormone that suppresses appetite and regulates metabolism, tirzepatide adds an analog of another gastric hormone, GIP (gastric inhibitory peptide), which increases insulin release and reduces blood sugar. This combination of hormone imitators has led to an average weight loss of 20% in 72 weeks in clinical trials.

The pharmaceutical industry is not stopping there. There are already 100 new drug candidates in trials, all vying for a slice of the obesity treatment market, which could reach $100 billion by 2030. Nearly all of the major pharmaceutical companies are making their bets on the weight-loss business.

Retatrutide, also from Eli Lilly, adds glucagon — a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels — to GLP-1 and GIP. Although it is not yet approved, this compound has shown a reduction of nearly a quarter of the participants' weight (24%) in its trials and could be approved as early as 2027.

God help us.

Newsmax, the conservative cable news channel loyal to President Trump, has agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $67 million to settle a lawsuit it brought against the network over its coverage of the 2020 election.

I listened to him for decades on wnyc radio at lunchtime on the weekdays — he had great guests on and was a terrific interviewer. Each day was an adventure — he’d have a variety of guests on and spent enough time to really discuss their book or new album or movie or tv show. I learned so much from his show. His show was a fixture of midday radio in Manhattan. In the summers I’d frequently go to Bryant park and sit on the lawn and listen to his show.

Then several years ago he got caught up in metoo and it was revealed he could say crass things to women. He was also reportedly a tyrannical boss, although how much of that was legit and how much millennial snowflakism we will never know.

After being fired from NYC seven years ago, he went to WBAI, where he’d actually had a show before his time at WNYC. He continued to do this in an interview format, but instead of 4-5 guests in two hours, he had one guest for the full hour. Still enjoyed it a lot but frankly an hour was sometimes too much, and the stations radical/progressive content limited the guests he could have on.

His frequency of broadcasts was diminished by his accelerating illness (ALS) and he died earlier this month.

I must say there will never be a radio interview show quite like the Leonard Lopate Show. One segment I especially loved was “Please Explain,” in which Lopate would have a very knowledgeable guest on to clearly explain a frequently misunderstood topic. Lopate would ask all the questions you as an intelligent person would ask. Warts and all, he was a fantastic broadcaster. I will miss him.

Years ago, I finished Invisalign treatment. Since then, I’ve been wearing retainers at night to keep my teeth aligned.

I’ve now come to the end of the 5 sets of retainers I bought when I originally ended my Invisalign. My dentist has changed as I moved. The new dentist says he doesn’t sell the type I used before (vivera) but sell another brand that costs $700! He says it lasts longer than vivera, but wasn’t clear about how long.

I noticed online that there are companies that sell post-Invisalign retainers for about $100. They send you an impression kit that you mail back and make retainers based on that.

Anyone tried this with success?

It's from Radar so take it with a drop of whiskey.

I hope it's an exaggeration. If Charles goes the BRF will start looking like the House of Usher.

“ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences. Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film."

What a run down dump that place was. Glad I left.

No this song isn’t from 1993, it’s from 2023. On the outskirts and underground of today’s music, 90’s revival has been slowly making its way to the top.

I believe soon enough the 808s will be traded in for late 80s and early 90s drum patterns.

I couldn’t be more excited. I think it’s coming.

I searched but could not find it. The current 2-headed girl thread reminded me of this other (far more favorable to the DL) freak of nature.

His condition is called Diphallia. Both penises are 100% functional and glorious. He's bisexual and I believe has done porn. There are more images in his AMA on Reddit, and he answers about every possible question you could conjure up about his condition, quite generously. He seems like he's made the most of his two penises and has a lot of fun with them.

A sad girl vs. scary/sad trans girl saga.

It's come to my attention many of us have had Vincent Rodriguez's coke mini in his days before Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Are we being visited by creatures from outer space?

Why are they giving this cunt more attention?

Louise Brooks became a call girl after her film career ended

Barbara Payton wound up as a skid row hooker

Were there any other actors or actresses who turned tricks after their fame faded? There are a lot of people who had a hit show, or did a few successful films, then didn't do much after that, you wonder how some of them were staying afloat

Here's a thread for those of us who love the free streaming service Tubi, which has zillions of movies and filmed oddities — lots of TV movies, horror, drama, and schlock of all kinds.

I'll start with a real oddity: MARINELAND CARNIVAL WITH THE MUNSTERS, a recently resurfaced TV special from the mid-1960s.

It unsettled you.

I know we shouldn’t get near them. But I love them and find them adorable, especially baby skunks with their tails that stand straight up.

I’m sure they would better terrible pets, however.

Does she leave the painting on the street at the end or take it with her all the way to her new apartment? It was really annoying me that nobody tried to help her carry it or that she couldn’t find anyone to help her.

Speaking of this film I was not overly familiar with clayburgh but I’ve seen a few of her films. Was her chronic leukaemia the reason for her career becoming lower profile in the late 80s? Was she uninsurable or something?

Since the economy is about to tank, this would be a good time to open a discount chain store to take advantage of all the poor people struggling to get by.

The previous thread is almost finished. Thought I'd start a new one.

Is anyone here familiar with this web series? What the hell is it about?

What happened that broke the engagement? It certainly didn’t have anything to do with habits like carpet munching, right?

Oh, now she embraces the show now that she needs the money.

Andrea Barber, best known for playing Kimmy Gibbler on both the original and the Netflix reboot Fuller House, shared a photo capturing the joyful cast reunion at Steel City Con.

In the snap, Barber posed alongside Candace Cameron Bure (DJ Tanner), Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) and Scott Weinger (Steve Hale).

But if you look closely, you’ll see other members of the cast weren’t forgotten despite not being there in person, as the cast held up cardboard cutouts of John Stamos (Uncle Jesse), Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky), one of the Olsen twins, Ashley or Mary Kate, who shared the role of Michelle Tanner and the late Bob Saget (Danny Tanner).

Which chick flicks you consider forgotten or that aren't very much talked about these days?

Personally, I think a good example is "Where the Heart Is?" (2000), starring Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Stockard Channing and Joan Cusack.

How much sex dd they have with each other?

The Biggest Loser is getting the documentary treatment with Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser. Over the course of three episodes, those closely involved with the NBC competition series reveal behind-the-scenes secrets and the show’s most controversial aspects.

Alison Sweeney began hosting The Biggest Loser in Season 4, taking over for Caroline Rhea. “As host of the show, it was my job to be there for the contestants and encourage them to talk about some of the harder things that are embarrassing and hard to talk about,” Sweeney said in the documentary.

The show chronicled the journey of overweight contestants as they competed to lose weight and win a cash prize. The Biggest Loser faced loads of criticism for its approach to weight loss. One of the most shocking components of the show was the temptation challenges, where contestants faced off to see who could eat the most calories in five minutes. Whichever participant won would receive a prize, which could include an extra training session before a weigh-in or an opportunity to see their family.

“The temptation challenges were the hardest part of the show for me,” the Days of Our Lives star admitted. “It was horrible.” Trainer Bob Harper called the temptation challenges “so dumb” and placed blame on cocreator Dave Broome and executive producer J.D. Roth for allowing those types of challenges to see the light of day.

In Episode 3, the documentary touched on the Season 15 controversy where trainer Jillian Michaels gave her team caffeine pills in order to have an advantage at the weigh-in. Once the show discovered Michaels had violated the show’s rules, Sweeney confronted the trainer in an episode.

When Sweeney watched the moment back, she said it was “terrifying” to revisit. The host was shocked that she had to be the one to address Michaels and give her team a four-pound disadvantage. (Michaels did not participate in the documentary.)

...and is being mistreated by her husband and that she is in no condition to be touring (as she is currently doing with Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan and Stephanie Mills.)

A lot of people in the comments are confirming this -- saying that when they saw Gladys in concert sometime within the past two years she was showing obvious signs of deterioration -- confusion, forgetting to sing entirely.

How terrible. If this is true how can this tour continue?

It happens, but it never fails to amaze me. A case in point is an actor many of you may not even know or remember. Peter Ratray, in his youth was one sexy man. I first saw him in 'Young Lady Chatterly' back in the 70s. He also made the rounds on some of the daytime soaps. Handsome face, beautiful hairy chest, major dream boat IMO. How in the world could a man who looked like this produce a son that looks like that? His son is Devin Ratray who played Kevin's mean fat brother in 'Home Alone'. He's only gotten fatter through the years.

I'm trying to find other movie idols who produced bridge troll children.

A model and former beauty queen has died, weeks after an elk smashed through her windshield in a freak accident. She was 30.

Kseniya Alexandrova sustained severe brain injuries from the incident, which occurred in July, while she was driving in Tver Oblast, Russia. She later died in the hospital due to complications from her injuries on Aug. 12, Russian news source Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported.

Alexandrova and her husband had been driving home from Rzhev on July 5 when their car collided with the elk, the outlet said.

For over a decade Paul Benedict made us laugh as the well mannered but eccentric neighbor Bentley in The Jeffersons, but that barely scratches the surface of his film and television work.

Although he appeared regularly on The Jeffersons, he found his niche as a supporting actor; Cold Turkey, Jeremiah Johnson, Up in the Sandbox, Smile, The Goodbye Girl, The Man with Two Brains, This is Spinal Tap, Arthur 2: On the Rocs, Cocktail, The Freshman, The Addams Family, The Devil's Advocate, Waiting for Guffman, Isn't She Great, and The Mighty Wind.

To children, he is best remembered as The Number Painter on Sesame Street.

Let's discuss the life and times of the character actor Paul Benedict.

"And never take more than one wing, for this would be stealing which I am morally against"

He is so hardcore.

The president said he'd be "unhappy" if he walked away from his meeting with the Russian leader without a ceasefire agreement, which is exactly what happened

I guess the Congressional Epstein trials have her spooked.

Anyone else seen this cutie? He was on ABC News tonight. Raises money for wonderful cause. He's a veteran. I first saw him on Kelly Clarksons show awhile back. Here's what I didn't see coming----he has a wife!! Wait!. What?

Since we're nearing the end, I'm starting part 2.

I can't really add anything as I'm not a whore, but please, keep the facts coming!

Side note: it shocks me that no one seemed to be angry that he flew this fucking plane into the ocean and killed to people. People talk about this “accident” like it was an act of God, instead of an idiot who was 100% responsible for this catastrophe. The accident never seemed to dent his popularity a bit. Whereas Ted Kennedy was rightly blamed for Chappaquidick.

Whoa.

Donald Trump has taken aim at MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace in a bizarre social media rant. The drama started when 79-year-old Trump kicked off his Sunday morning with a cryptic post on Truth Social.

“Bela,” he wrote, leaving his followers to debate the meaning of the word.

“She is a loser, with bad ratings, who was already thrown off of The View,” Trump replied on Sunday. “She will be fired soon! MSNBC IS DEAD!”

With over 825 miles of sandy beaches, Florida’s reputation as the perfect summer holiday destination has always been considered unshakeable. But this year, some business owners along the coast say the typical summer boom failed to materialize.

"Spring Break, really never happened for us, and then the summer swing, never happened for us," says Kirsten Smail, a marine educator for Dolphin Quest told ABC Action News. “It’s a ghost town,” confirmed Amber Simmons, General Manager at Pirates Pub & Grub. "It's the slowest year we've had since 2020."

Smash or pass?

The lard saga continues into its fifth year.

… and puzzling or even weird to non-dataloungers?

I’ll start — calling someone a “troll” because he’s inordinately interested in a topic or a guy. It’s a term of amusement or even affection here. Call someone outside here a troll and you’ll get puzzled looks or even hostility.

Why am I asking myself such obvious questions?

I keep hearing that conservatives are more physically attractive than liberals who are considered limp wristed soyboy betas or screaming, blue haired feminists but I'm hard pressed to come up with a single attractive conservative. They all look fat and ugly to me. Are there any?

Starring Clint Eastwood, Jessica Walter, and Donna Mills’s original nose. Directed by Eastwood.

Yes, Evelyn Draper ( Walter) was a nut job but Eastwood’s character had many, many chances to get out of the situation and he kept sleeping with her. Asshole.

Which do you prefer? This or “Fatal Attraction”?

Cool movie.

Let's discuss.

(I know Eastwood is a repug but wasn't this done before that so we can still chat about it?)

Do you usually give out Halloween candy? What types? Any plans for Halloween treat distribution this year?

If you decorate, do you prefer scary or cute?

Do you costume, and if so, what are you going as this year?

Before there was "Fatal Attraction," there was Clint's nifty thriller Play Misty For Me. While Eastwood is good as the womanizer DJ, Jessica Walter is a wow as the shagadelic psycho! Twice the thrills of "Fatal Attraction" and half hour shorter! My fun take here:

This film does not seem like it came out in 1971. Masterpiece.

Well he's better looking than the other Democrat JD Scholten who is also running.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Washington DC late Sunday ahead of crucial talks with US President Donald Trump, saying he is confident of Ukraine obtaining security guarantees with the support of European leaders.

Trump on Sunday previewed the message he’ll deliver to his White House visitors: Zelensky must agree to some of Russia’s conditions for the war in Ukraine to end.

“President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight,” Trump wrote on social media. “Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!”

He's one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Films such as Three King's, The Perfect Storm, and Ocean's Eleven have put him at the very top of the tree.

He moved from Kentucky to California to try his hand in the entertainment industry. It nearly didn't happen. And even after a long apprenticeship and some terrible parts, he emerged as Dr. Doug Ross on ER. Though the final transformation from small to big screen proved tough. In the end though, versatility, good looks, and an ability to take risks have won through.

They laid it out very well last night in a 30-minute segment that had interviews with multiple victims, including one who went to the FBI in the 1990s to report Trump/Epstein. Nothing was done.

No new big information, but a damning summation of the facts that the American 60 Minutes would never do these days.

It's on YouTube. There are a couple of places where the visuals are blurred for a few seconds, but the sound never leaves and the picture quickly returns — not sure why.

Now practically no one gets hard copies newspapers, so I don't even really know if the comics sections still get printed. But I used to be fascinated with them when I was growing up in the 70s. The only ones that were really funny to me back then was "Peanuts" and "Doonesbury," and then by the 80s "Bloom County" (which was hit or miss) and "Calvin and Hobbes."

But I was fascinated by the really terrible ones. "The Family Circus" was the most infamous because it was so unfunny by that time (and continues to this day), but there were some that were even older that went all the way back to the Depression or even before in my local newspaper: "Bringing Up Father" (with Maggie & Jiggs), "Snuffy Smith" (which still had humor about Prohibition!), "Prince Valiant," "Mary Worth," etc. they were so obviously out of date I was perversely fascinated by them.

Singer Belinda Carlisle has criticised pop star Dua Lipa for her “sexualised” performances, branding them “embarrassing”.

The musician, who rose to fame as part of the new wave band The Go-Go’s before achieving mainstream success with her solo hit “Heaven Is a Place on Earth”, disagreed that performances by “young women” in the music industry are “empowering”.

“These days, young women in the music industry are just so sexualised. Like, what happened?” she told The i Paper. “I don’t get it. It’s not empowering – it’s embarrassing,:

“Yes, you will get attention, but not the right kind, and down the line you are going to look back and say: ‘Wish I hadn’t done that.’”

Carlisle, 66, then singled out “Levitating” singer Dua Lipa, 30, stating: “I mean: Dua Lipa? It’s shocking! She’s so talented. She doesn’t need to do that.”

In its latest effort to tighten access to U.S. immigration benefits, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency overseeing the country's legal immigration system, instructed officers on Friday to consider additional factors when determining whether immigrants applying for U.S. citizenship have a "good moral character."

Typically, legal immigrants with U.S. permanent residency, also known as a green card, can apply for naturalized American citizenship after a 3- or 5-year period, depending on their case. Demonstrating "a good moral character" has long been one of the requirements in U.S. immigration law for American citizenship, alongside passing English and civics tests.

We haven't had a thread to talk broadly about British shows and/or the PBS or Britbox viewings of them in the US for a while.

Starting off with something that apparently happened a few months ago....the sexy guy that played Spiros on The Durrells has been ACCUSED! of sexual harassment/assault/rape. (He was serving as a rep in EU parliament.)

In this edition, let's compare and contrast a couple of lady loonies, one who manages to keep her craziness somewhat under wraps except for unexplained, uninhibited cosplay and carrying $3K in cash in her purse. The other lets it spill out all over. (the crazy, not cash)

The first is obviously Kristi Noem who subsidized her cosmetic dentistry by using her official South Dakota Twitter account to promote a Texas dentist. The second is obviously Laura Loomer.

The middle-aged desire to stay as young and dewy as possible is understandable. But Loomer started young. Looking at the few "before" pictures out there, I've wondered if she started out to fix a telltale coke nose. I learned about coke noses on an old Trey Parker thread and Loomer's presurgical nose looks like it. It also could help explain the crazy and her energy.

Before and after Kristi in the next post.

Local man gets 25-year prison sentence for multiple sex abuse, rape crimes​

Joshua Lee Quattlebum, 28, sentenced for offenses taking place in April and May 2023​ Central Oregonian Sep 8, 2023

A Crook County man facing multiple sex abuse and rape changes was recently sentenced to 25 years in prison.

According to Crook County District Attorney Kari Hathorn, 28-year-old Joshua Lee Quattlebum was sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Daina Vitolins during a hearing at the Crook County Courthouse on Aug. 25. The sentence included no eligibility for any form of early release from custody, a provision for 10 years of post-prison supervision and registration as a sex offender. The sentence was the result of a trial in which the jury returned a guilty verdict on Aug. 22.

The jury found Quattlebum had committed two counts of first-degree rape, first degree sodomy, first-degree unlawful sexual abuse, two counts of second-degree unlawful sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a minor, harassment and disorderly conduct. The case was investigated by the Prineville Police Department, with Officer Hunter Trueax, Officer Daniel Yanes and Detective Sergeant Jonathan Adkins leading the investigation, interviewing multiple witnesses, obtaining physical evidence and arresting Quattlebum. The victim in this case is an adult and known to Quattlebum. The defendant was convicted of forcing the adult victim to engage in sexual conduct during multiple separate incidents in April and May 2023. During the sentencing, the court found upward enhancement factors including deliberate cruelty to the victim, the offense including actual violence and Quattlebum’s involvement in prior similar offenses, as well as lack of remorse on several counts. In 2015, Quattlebum was convicted of first-degree attempted sodomy and first-degree sex abuse for assaulting two different victims under the age of 14.

The State of Oregon was represented by Chief Deputy District Attorney Laura Moszer. Vitolins presided over the case.

“The Crook County District Attorney’s Office is appreciative of the outstanding efforts of our community partners in achieving a successful prosecution of this case,” Hathorn said.

It is not the freshest news but it's worthy mentioning as it was silenced by blogs. Kinda bisexual (loved to stick glass dildo in his hole) Jeb was portrayed as charming and beautiful jock but irl he is vile piece of shit.

Government documents with details about meeting schedules and seating charts − as well as an extravagant menu and reminder to pronounce President Vladimir Putin's name "POO-tihn," were accidentally left in a hotel printer in Alaska amid President Donald Trump's meeting with the Russian leader.

The documents with State Department markings, reported by NPR, were discovered in the printer in an Anchorage hotel around 9 a.m., hours before Trump's summit with Putin at a nearby military base.

Hotel guests shared the pages with NPR.

I know I’m late to the game. I watched it on a transatlantic plane ride - all 160 mins of it. If you’ve never seen the show, don’t waste your time. If you are not a fan of musicals, don’t waste your time either. For the way people went on about this film - it was very middling. I was expecting to be moved at some point, but I wasn’t. There wasn’t one song I got into. I felt I was just getting through it. Chicago still remains the only movie musical I think non-musical theatre people can enjoy.

The drama continues!

Award-winning actor Billy Porter has sparked controversy during a recent appearance on CBS Mornings, where he remarked that 'black people have replaced the Jews' while discussing his new leading role on Broadway.

The 55-year-old actor and singer appeared on the network's morning segment on Monday to promote his role as the Emcee in the Broadway revival of the 1966 musical Cabaret.

Cabaret is a dark, provocative classic set in 1930s Berlin that explores the fate of a seedy nightclub and its patrons as the shadow of Nazism begins to fall over the city.

'And with what's going on in the world right now, black people have replaced the Jews in this sort of configuration of what we're going through.'

Nine South Carolina teens were arrested in the June shooting death of a 16-year-old who authorities say was involved in an argument "over a girl" with his alleged shooter, according to local reports. The victim's 17-year-old girlfriend is among the suspects.

Florence County Sheriff's deputies found Trey Dean Wright of Johnsonville dead on First Neck Road with multiple gunshot wounds June 24. He was found about 45 miles west of Myrtle Beach.

The following day, they arrested Devan Scott Raper, a 19-year-old from Conway, who allegedly fatally shot Wright after an argument. At least one teen involved reportedly recorded the slaying on video. Deputies continued to announce new arrests for weeks as the investigation dug deeper.

The contents of first lady Melania Trump’s letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin have now been revealed, including a plea for the Russian leader to “restore [the] melodic laughter” of children affected by his war in Ukraine.

The first lady, who did not travel to Alaska with her husband for his meeting with Putin on Friday, sent a letter instead, which Fox News has since published, referring to it as her “peace letter.”

She's so full of shit. Her real feelings: "I don't really care, do you?"

Seriously?

How do people eat that shit?

A new study says that most Millennials and Gen Z feel that friendships are getting too expensive. The study, called "The Friendship Tab" and commissioned by Ally Bank, found that 44% of Gen Z and Millennials say they have skipped major social events because of cost.

The study found that almost a quarter of Gen Z and Millennials say they are afraid of missing out on friendships and community due to financial limitations, and 42% said they overspent on activities with friends a few months out of the year, while 18% said they spent over their budget every other month.

Almost a quarter of respondents said they feel anxious about lifestyle and financial differences with their friends and 22% said they have anxiety when they're uncertain about being able to afford activities with friends.

Nearly one in five people said there have been instances when they felt they couldn't be honest with friends about their finances.

Despite the financial woes, the younger swath of the population still wants to be connected, and spends a large amount of money on food and alcohol.

Thirty-two percent of Gen Z and Millennials said they go to a bar or restaurant with friends at least weekly.

What is it like?

[quote] Headline: "Trump and Texas are redistricting to give Republicans an advantage, and Newsom is fighting back - Why this is BAD for Gavin Newsom!"

Newsom wants to redraw California's own congressional districts to favor Democrats. His goal: counter Trump’s drive for more GOP House seats with a power play of his own.

But the distinct scent of his home state will be hard to completely slough off in parts of the country where California is synonymous with loony lefties, business-killing regulation and an out-of-control homelessness crisis.

"We hit it off from jump street. She made me laugh, and I made her laugh, and wow, it was so much fun," he recalled. "We'd get so many viewers for the show back then — 20, 30 million people. Things are so different now, but it was a special time."

No question!

I remember watching her on the news and loved her. She seemed perfect, but I had no idea she was a coke addicted bisexual who suffered from anxiety and depression.

I remember hearing about her death, so tragic....

Admittedly, as singers are past their sell-by dates, I listen just to their greatest hits. There are a few for whom I still listen to their full albums—Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, George Michael are some examples.

Chrissy Metz wants to clear up misconceptions about her new health journey after it was reported that she'd lost 100 lbs. – and share her thoughts on weight loss drugs.

“I have lost a little weight," Metz says in this week's cover story, not wanting to focus on a number.

"But medicines like GLP-1 bring up very complicated feelings for me,” The Hunting Wives star adds. “If you’re diabetic and need to lower your A1C, these are things that are important to take care of. But if you already have a restrictive eating disorder and take something that minimizes your appetite, it can become a very slippery slope.”

Hundreds of thousands of people crowded in central Tel Aviv on Sunday night, capping a nationwide day of protests and strikes calling on the government to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of the hostages held there by Palestinian terrorists. 500,000 attended the rally, over 1 million protested across the country Sunday; at rally, ex-captives urge Trump to push Israel to ‘end the suffering, make peace’.

Protest groups and organizations joined forces to stage a major day of civil disobedience after the cabinet voted earlier this month to conquer Gaza City despite warnings by top security officials that this would endanger the hostages. The day of protests came alongside a major strike, which was joined by hundreds of local authorities, businesses, universities, tech companies and other organizations, though Israel’s central labor union, the Histadrut, did not join the effort.

Addressing the crowd of hundreds of thousands at the rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, the fathers of two of the hostages accused the government of abandoning their sons in captivity for political reasons. Ofir Braslavaski, father of hostage Rom Braslavski, said that he is watching his son waste away, and can do nothing about it. Videos of Braslavski and hostage Evyatar David were released last week in which they appeared emaciated and deeply distressed. “The entire country saw, all of the leaders saw, but the cabinet chose to expand the war and abandon them,” Braslavski said. “My Rom has no time, the hostages have no time.” “To my beloved Rom, stay strong, please. We love you,” he added.

Yehuda Cohen, father of hostage Nimrod Cohen, echoed the accusations against the government: “We’re living under a terror organization that refuses to give us back our children for political reasons,” he said of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. “My son, Nimrod, is suffering so that the government can build settlements in Gaza, and I refuse to let him be sacrificed on that altar,” Cohen continued. “This country won’t return to normality until the hostages are returned in a comprehensive deal and the war ends,” he said. “If the Netanyahu government isn’t willing to do this, then they should quit and allow someone more responsible to do so.”

There has been speculation that she was one of Epstein's girls. Waiting to see if she reacts with another defamation suit.

This mom of six says she was at an older child's ball game when she went to a sporting goods store to get something, and, as one does, took her developmentally disabled 5-month-old with her instead of leaving him with the baby daddy.

She parked at the far edge of the parking lot, again as one does, and decided to change his diaper when somebody hit her over the head! When she woke up, Baby Emmanuel was GONE and she had a black eye!

The acting at their press conference made Edith Massey look like Helen Mirren — Mom did the "no tears but I'm crying" thing while clutching a Bible while baby daddy and friends laid hands on her.

The black eye was obviously old and the cops had more questions, and suddenly neither of Baby Emmanuel's parents are cooperating with the police.

The scam is starting to spread from humans to animals. And of course it's in Serbia.

He claims to not be gay. He is flaming in this video.

“Real Housewives” star Brandi Glanville has blamed a “parasite that jumps around my face” that might be responsible for the dramatic change in her appearance. Glanville shared a selfie on social media and wrote, “Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face.”

Glanville wrote in full on X, “What happened? I wish I knew I’ve been in &out of the hospital this passed year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo.”

Fans were shocked and concerned after Glanville posted a selfie in which her face appeared to be swollen. In October 2023 Glanville revealed she had been diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema. Entertainment Tonight reported one of her sons called 911 after she collapsed at home.

The outlet also said Glanville’s “face blew up like a basketball, so much so that her eyes were swollen shut, reducing her vision to the point she couldn’t even see her own hand.”

A source told the outlet, “Brandi’s been under so much stress since ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ drama started with Caroline Manzo. She hasn’t been able to work since the false claims were brought against her, and now it’s taking a toll on her physically. She is back home and resting after spending the night in the hospital.”

Glanville herself wrote on X, formerly Twitter, at the time, “I collapsed at home this am and my SON had to call 911 for help! You guys have no idea the amount of stress I’m dealing with.”

The story of 1948's Ruthless is very dramatic and soapy ala JR Ewing in Dallas! In Ruthless, you get a bit more of the anti-hero’s back story than the typical Zachary Scott villain. The movie's style, acting, and a few twists make this a very enjoyable '40s noir melodrama. What truly makes this movie a guilty treasure treat is not the soap opera story but the fantastic cast: Scott; Diana Lynn; Martha Vickers; Lucille Bremer; Louis Hayward; Sydney Greenstreet; and Raymond Burr. My take:

I love Botticelli.

New casting news for Datalounge’s favorite actor.

They just crack me up.

My favorite is when she was picked up in her car service to go perform. She told the driver she was singing with Mary Martin that night.

Pause. Then, to the driver-

"Dyke, y'know."

She is somewhat forgotten in 2022, which is unfortunate. She had a long, incredible, entertainment career as a successful recording artist, stage performer, talk-show host, golfer and lover to Burt Reynolds.

How long before someone takes a shot at her?

Donald Trump said Monday that he’s deploying the National Guard across Washington and taking over the city’s police department in the hopes of reducing crime, even as the city’s mayor has noted that crime is falling in the nation’s capital.

The Republican president, who said he was formally declaring a public safety emergency, compared crime in the American capital with that in other major cities, saying Washington performs poorly on safety relative to the capitals of Iraq, Brazil and Colombia, among others.

Donald Trump also said at his news briefing that his administration has started removing homeless encampments “from all over our parks, our beautiful, beautiful parks.”

Many of these men died from “cancer.”

Which ones fit this profile?

Was hate watching “Looking” a DL pastime? I really liked it.

I remember a lot of criticism of it consisted of viewers disliking it because they didn’t “see” themselves in it and therefore couldn’t relate to any of the characters. I’ve seen many movies and TV shows i didn’t “see” my myself in but still enjoyed them.

Thoughts?

Mario Lopez reportedly lashed out at former NFL cheerleader Desiree Townsend during a recent court hearing to request a permanent restraining order against her.

Lopez was sued in June by Townsend over claims of orchestrating a smear campaign against her when he reposted an old, humiliating video of her. Townsend is expected to take the stand later this week, where she will be cross-examined as part of Lopez's ongoing effort to secure the restraining order.

Townsend is also requesting $25 million in her case against Mario Lopez and has expressed her surprise that the actor sought a restraining order.

Stephen King and director Jack Bender have joined forces again for a new TV thriller "The Institute". Based on King’s best-selling 2019 novel by the same name, Bender said after working together on shows such as crime drama "Mr Mercedes" and sci-fi show "Under the Dome" they were keen to find a new project.

The Institute tells the story of Luke Ellis, a boy who is abducted and wakes up in a mysterious facility called The Institute, where other children with special abilities are held. The series will star Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker, with Joe Freeman as Luke Ellis. "It's a sort of… a slow simmering sort of horrifying thriller rather than a horror," Barnes said.

While the first series covers the book, there are plans to continue. Trailer posted at R1.

Gazan kids gravely injured by weapons made in America were coming to the US temporarily for medical treatment. Then they were sent to Egypt. Laura Loomer called them a "security threat" and had a hissy fit, so no kids allowed in to the US for treatment anymore.

"The Trump administration announced Saturday that it had paused approvals of visitor visas for people from Gaza, a key pathway for those seeking medical care in the United States, including young children who arrived in recent weeks with serious conditions.

The State Department said it would assess the process behind those visas. “All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review,” the department said in a statement on X Saturday morning.

The move came after an intense lobbying campaign by the right-wing activist Laura Loomer, who called the incoming flights a “national security threat” in a flurry of social media posts starting on Friday that targeted a nonprofit aiding in medical evacuations.

Just weeks ago, the nonprofit, HEAL Palestine, an Ohio-based group that helps Palestinian families and children, began orchestrating what it called the “largest single medical evacuation of injured children from Gaza to the U.S.,” bringing injured and ill Gazan children to the United States for care.

To date, the group says it has evacuated 63 injured children for treatment, including 11, from age 6 to 15, who were flown to hospitals in nine U.S. cities this month. Many of the children had lost limbs during the conflict in Gaza. They are expected to travel to Egypt to rejoin their families once their medical care is completed, according to HEAL Palestine.

The group, which was founded last year and also operates food kitchens in Gaza, said in a statement on Sunday that it was alarmed by the State Department’s decision.

“This is a medical treatment program, not a refugee resettlement program,” HEAL Palestine said in the statement. “Our mission gives children a renewed chance at life, whether through lifesaving surgery or the ability to walk again.”

Julia Gelatt, the associate director of the U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute, said that more than 9,000 people with travel documents from the Palestinian Authority had entered the United States on visitor visas in the 2024 fiscal year.

“This move is consistent with the Trump administration’s overall treatment of immigrants as constituting a threat to U.S. public safety,” Ms. Gelatt said. “But it is extremely hard to imagine how someone coming to the U.S. for lifesaving medical treatment would present a national security risk.”

Ms. Loomer, who wields extraordinary power in shaping Trump administration decisions over personnel and policy despite not having an official role in government, said she first learned of the flights earlier this month.

“I felt like this is something that needs attention,” she said in an interview. “Under the Trump administration, they are actively importing Gazans into the U.S. Clearly this is not what we voted for.”

On social media, Ms. Loomer called attention to a video posted on Aug. 6 by HEAL Palestine, showing Palestinian children arriving at the San Francisco airport.

She subsequently posted about flights to St. Louis, San Antonio and Houston and claimed without evidence that the nonprofit’s work was connected to Hamas, tagging state and federal officials in her posts."

My female friend is a straight, thought she was gay until two years ago when she met this guy, and 27 yrs old. She had never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before, never been kissed. She isn’t hideous but she isn’t particularly great looking. She meets this guy and has a whirlwind romance. They move in together using an inheritance from her grandmother to buy a very nice condo. Her family is well off, but not rich. Now she is engaged, and has very quickly scheduled the wedding for April.

My problem is, probably because this is her first relationship, she behaves like a total desperado. Instead of thinking I will be with this guy for the next 60 years and calming the fuck down, she is so desperate to please him it is pathetic. She will drop a get together with me in a second to get back to him (they live together for Chris’s sake), we go to her parents” house and she silently disappears for hours talking to him on the phone (leaving me alone with her parents). She says she has never had any kind of fight or disagreement with him in their entire relationship. The whole thing is so overwrought and hysterical it is making me increasingly angry to observe.

When she introduced me to him, the whole time she and I were talking, she was elbowing him and making faces to him like “I told you so” (about me). She must have thought I was blind not to see this behaviour two feet in front of me. It was just incredibly rude. She literally mocked me in front of him.

Prior to all of this, she was an excellent, loyal friend, and I remember those times, but she has turned into such a desperate, nasty person who angry turns on you at anything she thinks could be a bit critical about him. Like saying how long have you known each other when she tells me she got engaged.

And now, she suddenly keeps saying that she won’t “take” x or y situation because “she doesn’t want to live her life like that anymore”. So pompous. She is suddenly totally liberated from the world by this guy. Incidentally, during this time with the guy, she got fired as a clerk for a law firm not for incompetence but because of her personality and refusal to be sufficiently polite to the boss.

How can I deal with this woman whose behaviour is just so desperate and suddenly unkind and disloyal?

Ever lose a friend who turns into a douchebag when they meet a new date?

You would think that giving Madeline Kahn her own sitcom would have been gold. It's even produced by the team that did The Cosby Show, Roseanne and others.

But it's just off. It's not bad, but it's not laugh out loud funny either. Maybe the character isn't quirky enough, but she doesn't stand out like she did in her movies. It's a generic sitcom.

Why do these actresses play coy about this shit. Call them out. They could still be doing the same vile shit. guess lawsuits, but they can’t sue if it’s true. She is probably thinking about her career and wanting to seem like the agreeable hot girl. But then why even speak on the shit. I know I’m OCD but it’s annoying. We want to know. It would more beneficial to all in the industry to call him out.

Can anyone explain her? Did she really testify at Diddy's trial? Did Justin Bieber? is she seen as a credible witness? why do some people come forward with these "shocking allegations" and there's never anyone that was with them at the time?

She's pleasant enough and very articulate which I appreciate.

Madonna Louise Ciccone, born 16 August 1958. She's 67 today.

Forbes estimated Madonna's net worth at $850 million as of 2025, making her one of the wealthiest musicians in the world.

According to Rodrigo Fresán, "saying that Madonna is just a pop star is as inappropriate as saying that Coca-Cola is just a soda. Madonna is one of the classic symbols of Made in USA." Rolling Stone Spain wrote, "She became the first master of viral pop in history, years before the internet was massively used. Madonna was everywhere; in the almighty music television channels, 'radio formulas', magazine covers and even in bookstores. A pop dialectic, never seen since the Beatles's reign, which allowed her to keep on the edge of trend and commerciality."

The US government said Saturday it is suspending visitor visas for Gazans after a far-right influencer with the ear of President Donald Trump complained that wounded Palestinians had been allowed to seek medical treatment in the United States.

The announcement came one day after a series of furious social media posts by Laura Loomer, who is known for promoting racist conspiracy theories and claiming that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job.

"All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days," the State Department, which is led by Marco Rubio, wrote on X.

I can't imagine he could go lower than he did in his imbecilic comments on ABC This Week. Trump has abdicated our position in the world while simultaneously sucking Putin's cock. Rubio, the obsequious moron, is his apologist. It is disgraceful for the US Secretary of State to say on global television the Ukrainian conflict is "not our war" when the war was precipitated by Orange Hitler holding military aid to Ukraine hostage so he could try to find dirt on Biden.

These clowns helped pave the way for the destruction we’re seeing now.

They repeatedly made light of serious topics—normalizing them in the process. When serious issues like political corruption, violence, and discrimination become punchlines, people start to see them as less urgent or even inevitable.

Take Maria Hinojosa and Latino USA as an example.

Weeks before the election, in an attempt to present “fair and balanced” coverage, Latino USA/NPR aired multiple episodes amplifying voices like "Latinos for Trump" and "Latinos Against Harris." What did they think was going to happen?

Within hours of the Republican administration taking office, the Spanish-language section of the White House website was taken down—just like in 2017 when Trump did the same, leaving it offline until Biden restored it in 2021.

I’m beyond frustrated with Hinojosa and Latino USA. I can’t even listen to the show anymore. They gave a platform to people who helped normalize this mess. And as for the so-called “comedians” who made a joke out of it all? They’re just as complicit. Fuck these people.

The film is beautifully shot and beautifully acted with a haunting and gorgeous score but it’s disturbing! The story, the imagery (that you can never forget after seeing it), the fact that actual teenagers were used to play the teens and many of them were minors as young as 14 and 15 doing full nudity…

The film was banned all over the world for years and slowly was approved in some countries with time. It’s still banned in some countries to this day!

I’ve seen discussions about this film and how it’s allowed to be sold in modern day knowing that many of the teens who are fully nude are minors, and how that doesn’t count as CP. it’s a confusing topic.

Have you ever watched it? It’s hard to find the English subtitles version these days online but you can find the English dubbed version I believe.

The film is soooooooo dark and heartbreaking and just haunting. It’s a film that most people don’t make it to the end if they do choose to watch. Someone said they watched it in a full theatre decades ago and people got up and left throughout the entire movie. The movie started with a full theatre but by the end there were very few left there.

This video has been gaining traction lately, due largely to its accidentally unsettling parts.

Did Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump? Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called for Barack Obama and former senior US national security officials to be prosecuted after she accused them of a “treasonous conspiracy in 2016” intended to show that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election win was due to Russian interference.

Gabbard said the 114 pages of heavily redacted emails reveal that former President Barack Obama’s national security Cabinet faked and manipulated intelligence behind the assessment that Russia wanted Trump to win the election.

On July 18, Gabbard released a statement titled 'New evidence of obama administration conspiracy to subvert president trump’s 2016 victory and presidency.'

She claimed to have revealed “overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicised intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.”

Gabbard alleged that Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”

DNI Tulsi Gabbard said in a press release, “The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government."

"Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people,” she added.

The release shared by Gabbard included copies of two versions of an intelligence community assessment — a draft dated Sept. 12, 2016, saying that “foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain” the ability to hack election systems.

Another dated Jan. 5, 2017 concluded that “Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in the summer of 2016 aimed at the US presidential election.”

But Gabbard, in her conclusion around the documents, appears to be conflating separate assessments. The January report never concluded that Russia tried to hack election infrastructure — instead finding that Russia tried to undermine faith in democracy, attack Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and show a preference for Trump, Bloomberg reported.

She called for an investigation and prosecution of those involved, “no matter how powerful,” and said on X that the documents would be turned over to the Department of Justice.

Gabbard’s claim stands in contrast to the findings of a bipartisan Senate investigation that ended in 2020 and the conclusion of a Central Intelligence Agency review released earlier this month, Bloomberg reported.

That review faulted some aspects of a 2017 assessment on Russian interference but stood by the conclusion that Moscow wanted Trump to win in 2016.

I stopped talking to her about the time she moved away. Her oldest son subsequently committed suicide. Someone on her social media sent his condolences. Her comment back was "My son spent his life trying to save America!" WTF?!

Did you try winning back an ex? Tell us the story.

I swear, everyday I see another shirt, sweatshirt, bedspread etc, advertised on social media that I stop and wanna look at. Seriously, some of the designs and products are so cool and unique that I wonder why I’ve never seen anything like that before. And I’m not really a shopper by nature. But they’re always from some brand or company I’ve never heard from and if you check them out on TrustPilot, they’re always 100% sketchy with dozens of people warning you to stay away from. WHY is that?! And where are these scammy, mostly Chinese businesses getting these awesome looking clothing pics from!? I’ll see incredible quilted items or these really cool guys Halloween patch quit pullovers, and if you can actually find someone only who says they got one, it always turns out to be a screen print or something.

But MAGA told me that America was a crime-filled hellhole with migrants killing people left and right...

Tired of WINNING yet ? Ulta Beauty is.

After signing a notable five year partnership in early 2021, beauty retailer 'Ulta Beauty' announced on Friday they will not be renewing their partnership with 'Target Department Stores' when their current contract expires in August, 2026. In the past five years, Ulta Beauty has opened 600 locations in Target stores across the country (about 1/3 of Target's total locations) as well as on the Target website.

Ulta Beauty at Target shops carried a smaller and rotating assortment of the merchandise at the beauty retailer’s own stores. They were staffed by Target’s employees.

The loss of the popular beauty retailer’s products could be another blow to Target as it tries to woo back both shoppers and investors. Target’s annual sales have been roughly flat for four years and it expects sales to decline this fiscal year. Shares of the company are worth less than half of what the were back in 2021, when they hit an all-time closing high of $266.39. It also has faced backlash over both its Pride collection and its rollback of key diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Store traffic for Target has declined year over year nearly every week from the week of Jan. 27, days after the company’s DEI announcement, through the week of Aug. 4, according to Placer.ai, an analytics firm that uses anonymized data from mobile devices to estimate overall visits to locations. Target traffic had been up weekly year over year in the four weeks before Jan. 27.

I’ve outgrown my days of post-gym protein drinks for “gains”. I also wake up without an appetite for a proper breakfast. Is there any benefit to drinking old-people shakes like Ensure for breakfast relative to having some coffee with toast and fruit?

The Vincente Minnelli-directed 1949 version of Flaubert’s Madame Bovary is fascinating, but wildly erratic, much like the heroine herself. Jennifer Jones gives off a jittery intensity throughout, which serves her character well. But Jennifer is also wildly uneven as the country girl who longs for romance and riches. Jones can be subtly in tune with Emma in one scene, studio era “dramatic” in the next. The over-lavish decor doesn't help. On TCM Sunday Aug. 17 at 8 a.m./ET. My look:

Such a handsome man. I had a childhood crush on him as Zod in Superman II.

The mother of University of Idaho victim Xana Kernodle has broken her silence about a plea deal for the killer, Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty last week to four counts of first-degree murder for killing the 20-year-old, her boyfriend, and two other friends in a home invasion attack.

“At first, I was upset. I felt like I will never get answers now, but now I really see The Lord’s hand in it,” Cara Northington told Fox News Digital. “I now can see that God is protecting us from further torment and trauma.”

According to him he could’ve brought the "biggest sexual harassment lawsuit in Hollywood history" if he wanted to back in the 90s, that’s how bad it was for him on set.

There are countless euphemisms for a large penis. “Gifted.” “Hung.” “Packing heat.” But UK-based AI specialist Matt Barr is all of the above. The man’s penis is 14.5 inches long—the largest medically-proven member in the world. It has its own cast in Iceland’s Phallological Museum. It has its own book. And now, it has its own injury report.

“It was a very embarrassing accident,” Barr told The Sun, after slipping in the shower and breaking his arm—because his penis was in the way. “As I was rushing to get ready for work, I didn’t see the excess shower gel in the tub because my penis was the only thing in my eye line.”

That sentence should be preserved in a time capsule. But yes: while getting ready for work, Barr’s dick blocked his view of his own feet, causing him to step directly into a puddle of soap and go flying headfirst onto the bathroom floor. He fractured his arm in two places. His shoulder was wrecked. He wore a sling for weeks.

It’s far from his only penis-related inconvenience. Barr says he gets lightheaded during erections, has trouble finding pants that fit, and avoids all-inclusive resorts after a pool manager once asked him to leave because the outline of his penis was too visible—even with dark board shorts and compression layers on.

And while the internet is full of people who’d love to be “blessed” in this way, Barr’s experience is more grounded. “This is one of the many minor things no one thinks about when it comes to having an abnormal body,” he said. “Especially such a large one.”

He now showers more slowly and bought a bath mat to avoid future cock-induced catastrophes. He’s also passed on an OnlyFans career. “If I was 20 years younger, I would have,” he said. “I’d be in the gym constantly…but I’m not.”

It’s one thing to joke about having a monster penis. It’s another to get body-slammed by it before breakfast. Barr’s has injured partners, raised eyebrows in public pools, and now? It broke his shoulder. “Usually it’s just been when I’ve had a partner in the shower with me,” he said. This time, he didn’t need the help.

If the Democratic Party, by some miracle of God, can take the House and the Senate in 2026, what can they do? What laws can they pass and what guardrails can they put in place to ensure that one party can never abuse power like this again?

Interesting listicle in The Guardian - a bit British focused, but figured DL'ers would have opinions about the list and/or who they'd put on their own list of terrible characters that ruined a show.

Let it loose, gurls!

Always been curious what he's like in person and if he's really that awkward. Heard he's nice to work with once. Any stories? Tea?

Also, Rehearsal season 2 might be the best damn tv in years. He became a real life pilot too!!!! Very moving season and less uncomfortable from season 1. Probably his most tame project ever. Huge fan here.

Vice President JD Vance was reportedly turned away by a popular British pub after staffers threatened not to show up for work if the restaurant booked his reservation.

Some residents of the Oxfordshire hamlet have become upset by Vance choosing their south-central England region to spend some downtime. Local media outlet the Oxford Clarion posted photos of signs in locals’ lawns protesting the vice president.

“Fascists not welcome here,” read one of those signs, while another simply told Vance to “go home.”

A chilling case that has always haunted me, I hope this doc will lead to her family finding Amy.

Prince Harry has denied he gave Prince Andrew “a bloody nose” during a fight at a family gathering in 2013.

According to an excerpt from a new biography of the disgraced Duke of York, published in the Daily Mail on Saturday, the pair had a heated argument that escalated into a physical altercation. “Punches were thrown over something Andrew said behind Harry’s back”, the author Andrew Lownie claimed.

The alleged fight began when “Harry told [his uncle] he was a coward not to say it to his face. Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up.”

Lownie’s biography, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, also claims Andrew told his nephew that his marriage to Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, would “not last more than a month”.

He allegedly “accused Meghan of being an opportunist and thought she was too old for Harry, adding that his nephew was making the biggest mistake ever,” and told his nephew he had gone “bonkers”, accusing him of not doing “any due diligence into her past” before they got engaged in 2017.

Nobody knows when the next sex toy might come flying onto the court.

A study conducted in 2018 by Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, found that women who sleep alongside their dogs tend to experience better sleep quality than those who share a bed with a human partner. Surveying 962 adult women across the United States, the research highlighted that dogs were less likely to interrupt sleep and often provided a greater sense of safety and comfort.

Dogs generally maintain consistent sleep patterns and are less likely to snore or move around unpredictably during the night. Many women also reported feeling more secure with a dog in bed, which may reduce anxiety and contribute to more restful sleep. In comparison, human partners were more frequently cited as sources of disturbance due to movement, noise and inconsistent sleep habits.

The study suggests that for women who value uninterrupted sleep and nighttime reassurance, sharing the bed with a dog may be more beneficial than sleeping next to a human companion.

I just tried to watch "The Way We Were." Again.

So sloooow -- and I have never see Barbra so hammy.

Made it 15 minutes.

It’s dumb, but still highly entertaining. Especially the scene where Nell Carter puts the demon powder down on the floor and Chevy Chase snorts it up like cocaine.

In Livermore, California. Which band will she give an attitude to? She posted herself in some bar to her story today. How sad.

Over the past few days someone has been posting all these threads calling various black women “niggardly hoes.” Is this one of Teacake’s multiple personalities?

There is no shortage of gay fiction, a lot of it is coming from female writers. Personally, it rubs me the wrong way when a female writer hides her gender. I think it matters whether a gay novel was written by a male or by a female writer. So keeping the writer's gender obscure makes a difference to me. Some camouflage their gender by using either gender ambiguous first names or just initials. Josh Lanyon went a step further by giving herself an unambiguous male first name which caused some reviewers to give her the 'he' pronoun. Her birth name is Diane L. Browne. She also writes under several other pen names, including Colin Dunne and Diana Killian. She uses various aliases depending on the book and genre in question, so it's not that she is questioning her gender.

I find this practice fraudulent when it is deliberately misleading. Am I too harsh?

Scott Wolf’s estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, hit up a bar shortly after she was released from the hospital.

Kelley took to Instagram Wednesday to post a photo of her right hand resting on a bar, next to what looked like a margarita. Among the many bracelets on her wrist was an apparent hospital band.

The copy atop the picture read, “Hi,” while the caption read, “God bless 🇺🇸.”

She said she almost funded his life.

Is this really her speaking? I thought she might just remain silent.

For a demographic cohort facing a high cost of living, mounting student-loan debt and job-market instability, Generation Z has not been placing a high priority on dating. Instead, it’s a financial burden.

Data on spending habits provide a glimpse of how young folks’ mindset toward dating has shifted. About half of men (53%) and women (54%) ages 18 to 28 are spending $0 a month on dating, a recent Bank of America report on Gen Z adults’ financial health found.

This is likely because Gen Z has a different approach to dating compared with prior generations when their members were in the age bracket Gen Z is in now, experts say. With pandemic-fueled changes to how people socialize, alongside economic pressures fueling a pullback in young people’s spending, dating has taken a backseat for a significant portion of Gen Z. Instead, many are prioritizing economic security before rushing to find a partner, get married, have kids and buy a home, compared with past generations, who typically hit those milestones earlier in life.

Ketty Lester (born Revoyda Frierson; August 16, 1934) is an American singer and actress known for her 1961 hit single "Love Letters", which reached the top 5 of the charts in the U.S. and the UK. She is also known for her role as Hester-Sue Terhune on the American television series Little House on the Prairie. In 2022, she was inducted into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame.

Cottage- It's a post war blight 1950's ranch house. But I like these two queens. They are inoffensive and down to earth unlike that couple in France or the UK who were remodeling that white elephant.

They cut out the final scene where Tom and Nicole sell their daughter to the two mysterious men that are in the background throughout the movie. Chilling.

THEY KILLED HIM OVER THIS!?

The co-writer of Pulp Fiction reveals to Joe Rogan that the original script of EYES WIDE SHUT was about the discovery of an ELITE PEDO RING. 🤯

After the studio watched a cut of the movie they demanded Kubrick remove the pedo references. Kubrick fought back and ended up dead before the premier.

According to Roger Avary who has the original script the film was centered around an elite pedophile ring and the final scene in the movie was meant to depict Tom Cruise and Nicole's characters selling their child to the ring.

Philip Oakey's lopsided geometric hairstyle was inspired by Veronica Lake and his total look solidified around 1979 1980. Human League’s album Dare was released in October 1981.

I wonder if they ever bothered to think about this over the last ten years when they were pushing tit chopping for teenagers. Did they connect the two and realize advocating for insane issue B in the name of issue A was going to hurt issue A?

I'm reading "Reconsidering Reagan" by Daniel Lucks, a 2020 book that was meticulously researched and shows that Reagan's entire career was based on promoting racism.

TV networks churned out a lot of these over the course of these two decades, and a lot of them are great fun. A personal favorite is "Home for the Holidays", a Christmas slasher starring Sally Field, Julie Harris, Jessica Walter, and Walter Brennan.

Screens from tomorrow’s episode. I really hope they just hammer these fuckers nonstop.

Anita Gillette (née Luebben; August 16, 1936. She's 89 today.

Her Broadway credits include performing in musical productions of Gypsy, Carnival!, Guys and Dolls, They're Playing Our Song, Mr. President, and Cabaret. In 1978, she was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play at the 32nd Tony Awards for her performance in Neil Simon's Chapter Two.

It's almost time to watch my program.

The average movie ticket costs $16 now and only cost $8 a decade ago.

The story is interesting if far-fetched, the script is patchy, but Vanessa is terrific in a story about a desperate low-income woman who has 24 hours to raise $25,000. Vanessa definitely falls in the category of great beauties who happen to be character actresses.

HOWEVER, the hair/makeup department failed her in this; there's no way an impoverished trashy girl is going to have her looks, particularly her perfect porcelain skin. "To Leslie" did a much better job of taking an actress and making her look like a down-and-out mess.

With Jennifer Jason Leigh as her mother (only in two scenes, but you can see why she accepted the role) and Randall Park perfect as a smarmy yuppie. Nice to see him do non-comedic work.

She didn't torture us enough with her relentless tour and showing up at every game with Travis? She has to release more awful bland music?

When did Dexter become a franchise?

A hidden gem and favorite of mine.

It was a realistic and true ending, especially in the 80s teen sex comedy genre.

Awkward guy has an attractive friend who screws over girl. Awkward guy likes girl. Awkward guy does all he can to win over girl and even helps her out more than anyone when she had no one else to turn to. Girl kisses awkward guy and they are sorta becoming a thing (in his mind). Girl gets back with awkward guys attractive friend instead in the end and he realizes she used him.

Tears flow.

A guilty pleasure of mine.

Fun fact, the cast had to wear their own clothing and do their own hair and makeup etc. because the film had a low budget that couldn’t pay to keep those people around. The cast of teens is also played by actual teenagers for a change (for the most part). The film was going to have a sequel that follows Gary to college but it was canceled after this one flopped in theaters, however it made millions of dollars after being released to home video and gained a cult following.

How does your progressive heart feel about this?

I’m the unseen but obvious social media addicted frau who keeps listing thrifted, “refinished” old furniture I’ve painted over with one-coat of various bright colored epoxy, (1970’s French Provincial sky blue or Martha Stewart green dressers anybody?) and finished off with brass bar-handles to contrast nicely with this new modern look! My garage is so full of old furniture I’ve painted over that I’ve had to rent a storage unit. I’m ONLY asking $800 per piece and while I haven’t sold one yet, I really think my new business is taking off!

Excluding Grindr, which gay dating apps are the most used?

She told Disney she would NOT make the movie if they didn’t film it locally, and because of her, the Pacific Palisades will live onscreen forever.

The last movie I remember seeing in a theater was 'Philomena' on a cold, snowy afternoon on New Year's Day 2014 at the 'art house cinema' in my neighborhood (built in the 1920s). We had zero interest in 'superhero movies' and 'Star Wars' franchise which had invaded the multiplexes since the 90s. We were thankful we had this theater still in the neighborhood - perfect for two fifty year olds to meet up for a matinee on Sunday winter afternoons.

After the matinee, my friend and I went to dinner across the street, talking about the movie (we loved it). Sure enough, by the end of that week, the theater abruptly closed down after a water pipe burst during the deep freeze we had that week. The sign on the door said they expected to be open on February 15, after some minor renovations and plumbing updates. Of course, the theater never opened again. It was way too costly to continue with the popularity of Netflix, Amazon, and other streamers. It stayed dormant for over a year, then was renovated into a CVS and TD Bank. Gone is the beautiful marble floors and columns, and burgundy velvet seats and curtains with the smell of buttered popcorn.

This was the end - this was the last of the small neighborhood theaters, mostly built in the early 1900s. Since the pandemic, the larger suburban multi-plex chains have all shuttered (now Walmarts, Targets and Supermarkets). For my friends and I to go see a movie today, we have a thirty minute drive (at least) , where once we had a five minute drive (or less).

Trump holds the options for putting more pressure on Russia’s economy.’

When I was younger, there would be little moments of “magic” in my life.

Or maybe everyday things just seemed more magical.

I used to live in building built around a secured courtyard. No way in or out of the courtyard without a key.

On a really snowy day, a little orange tabby cat appeared in the courtyard. I started spending time with him for several months. I had loved cats as a child, then completely forgot about it.

Spending time with “Nico” set in motion a whole chain of events in my life.

We as a society live differently now— more isolated. Maybe there’s less opportunity for magic.

What do you think? Tell us about magic in your life!

Much more popular and respected than the1934 film. Is it truly superior? Weren’t the actors sans Turner of the original more respected?

Gal Gadot claims that ‘SNOW WHITE’ flopped because of “the pressure on celebrities to bring up things against Israel” rather than her terrible acting.

Suzanne Somers was SO pretty the first season. By around 1979 she was made over and became an unattractive clown.

A last-ditch effort by California Democrats to redraw the state's congressional map for the 2026 election, countering a similar push by Texas Republicans, is now up against the clock.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that Democrats are moving forward with a plan to put a rare mid-decade redistricting plan before voters on Nov. 4. But state lawmakers will craft a "trigger," he said, meaning California voters would only vote on the measure if Texas moved forward with its own plans to redraw Congressional boundaries to add five more Republican seats.

"It's cause and effect, triggered on the basis of what occurs or doesn't occur in Texas," Newsom said. "I hope they do the right thing, and if they do, then there'll be no cause for us to have to move forward."

Might have to have one. The big needle sounds scary as fuck.

...not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just not a particular kink of mine. I'm just a boring old fashioned homosexual. Not bi, not pan, not genderqueer. But then this guy appeared on my IG For You Feed this morning and, DAMN, the way he's busting out of this dress (that, if I'm understanding correctly, he ordered for some festival where folks run down the street in red dresses?)

About 2-1/2 hours ago I went out to the front yard to call my three indoor/outdoor cats in for dinner. I called names, and thought I saw my black cat running from across the street, but when I opened the gate in rushed a black puppy instead, his ENTIRE body one big wag. My neighbor's fiance was doing yard work across the street at her house. He saw me and was spitting nails, saying "These two guys just pulled up in front of me, opened the door and THREW that puppy out, looking dead in my face and smirking the whole time!"

I scooped Puppy up, and he immediately snuggled into my neck. Took him inside to a spare room, sat on a sofa with him on my lap. Suuuucch a good little one. Three of the cats are curious-to-indifferent; one just stalks off when Puppy approaches; the last is LIVID.

My question: is it okay to put Pup on the front porch for the night? I don't want nighttime animal drama, plus I don't know Pup's health status. I have several cat beds s/he'd fit, and while I don't have dog food, I have plenty of high-quality cat kibble Pup already seems to love. Of course I have water bowls. Pup would be 1000% safe as long as s/he stays inside the yard, inside the fence line.

Pup is sweet as pie and good as gold. Except he keeps trying to gnaw on my phone charger cable, which is easy to put out of his reach. But I'll give him some cat toys to keep him entertained.

Tomorrow I'll deal with which no-kill shelter to take him to. He really is a big-little ball of total sweetness. Plus his little snuffling noises sound like Snoopy.

Melania Trump demanded that Hunter Biden retract comments linking her to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and threatened to sue if he does not.

Trump takes issue with two comments Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, made in an interview this month with American journalist Andrew Callaghan. He alleged that Epstein introduced the first lady to now-President Donald Trump.

The statements are false, defamatory and “extremely salacious,” Melania Trump's lawyer, Alejandro Brito, wrote in a letter to Biden. Biden's remarks were widely disseminated on social media and reported by media outlets around the world, causing the first lady “to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm,” he wrote.

I just don't understand. I never did.

The Runaway Bride is doing just that. I wonder where her Aloe Vera T-shirt is hanging.

It makes me sad the only thing akin to this today is being an OF whore.

Marla Gibbs is ready to shine on the page, as well as the screen.

PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the cover of the acclaimed actress’ forthcoming memoir It’s Never Too Late, out in early 2026 from Amistad, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.

For years, Gibbs, 94, has been a beloved television staple. The Emmy nominee and NAACP Image Award winner is best-known for roles like the family maid Florence Johnston on hit sitcom The Jeffersons, as well as matriarch Mary Jenkins on 227, for which she also sang the theme song and produced.

But it wasn't always an easy road for Gibbs, as she recounts in It’s Never Too Late. In the book, the star looks back on a tumultuous childhood in which “she was always in search of safety in love,” per the book's official synopsis. It also explores her life-changing move to Los Angeles following an abusive marriage.

Gibbs further recounts her advocacy within the entertainment industry, where she fought for fair pay and creative control for herself and other colleagues.

The memoir is an “inspiring personal portrait of triumph and Hollywood,” per Amistad.

Which one of you FAT WHORE dataloungers are responsible for the sinking of this boat?

It’s on Netflix.

Four men have been arrested after one of the accused’s phones was discovered to contain a video of them gang-raping a Bengal monitor lizard at the Sahydari Tiger Reserve in Maharashthra, India.

CCTV footage from the Maharashtra Forest Department showed the four men lurking around the forest and trespassing into the Sahyadri Tiger Reserve, which was created by the Indian government in 2008 to conserve Bengal tigers.

In addition to the video of the men sexually abusing the monitor lizard, officials also found photos of various animals such as porcupines and deer on the mens’ phones.

Bengal monitor lizards can grow up to five and a half feet long and weigh almost 16 pounds. They are currently categorized as reserve species under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.

Forest guards initially only caught one of the accused, while the others fled. The remaining three were later found in Hativ village in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. Officials said the men came to Kolhapur’s Chandoli village from Konkan to hunt.

The four hunters have been identified as Sandeep Tukram, Pawar Mangesh, Janardhan Kamtekar and Akshay Sunil.

The case was taken to the Indian Penal Court to discuss proper legal action and charges against the four men. According to the Indian Penal Code, Section 377 states that anyone who voluntarily commits intercourse with an animal “shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.”

Jayden Marcos, a bisexual actor working in both straight and gay porn (especially known from Nextdoor and Gayhoopla) would be probably one of the few "actors" in gay porn who seems at least kinda normal. Well guess I am wrong.

Porn girlie "Tigerlily" (wtf is that nickname) said that during her first BG (boy-girl) scene a male talent came inside her and lied to her that he got asthma attack which was an excuse for not being sble to finish the scene. He also told her he used to be into "animal stuff".

Well I smell a big drama on both gay and straight side.

Jesse Grant, a father of three, says he just got off work at a nearby business when he and his coworker bought Safeway's Monday Cheap Chicken deal, and were eating in a car parked outside the grocery chain.

"I was throwing my chicken onto the ground outside my window so I wouldn't get any mess in my co-worker's car," Grant said.

That's when he says another driver parked next to them and accused him of throwing chicken bones at her vehicle.

Seriously

He is *always* beautifully dressed. He never looks less than impeccable. When he wants to look casual, he just takes his tie off. It's total professionalism and it says he takes his work seriously but he still looks elegant.

I am so tired of seeing politicians who look like their entire wardrobe comes from Kohl's because they think they'll be more "relatable" that way (I'm looking at you, Pete Buttigieg).

I had two senior female cats until March. I don’t know their exact ages but it’s somewhere around 13-16. They had been together most of their lives and I was really worried about the surviving cat but she never seemed bothered. Since her friend passed away she has had a big personality change. She was always laid but about everything but now she’s become super demanding with what she wants. I see now that the other cats strong personality was likely overshadowing her. I’m wondering if I should get another cat or if she would be happier spending the rest of her days as an only cat. Does anyone have experience with bringing a younger cat into a home with an older cat?

Jane, filmed in 1962, is a fly-on-the-wall documentary that follows 25-year-old Jane Fonda and her homosexual boyfriend, Andreas Voutsinas (Carmen Ghia), as they rehearse a doomed stage play called The Fun Couple for Broadway.

From Voutsinas's finger-snappingly FIERCE stage direction, to Jane's co-star Bradford Dillman at prime beefcake, to the bizarrely solemn straight-out-of-a-wartime-newsreel narration, the whole thing is a full-course Datalounge feast

Holy shit! What a wild-ass series! We've just started Season 4 and are thoroughly addicted.

We particularly like the way they have portrayed Deran--the gay brother. About as non-stereotypical as you can get, just as tough as shit as his brothers are. His sex scenes are straightforward and sexy, and I love the way his brothers (and mother) are totally accepting.

And Ellen Barkin (Smurf) rocks!

Anyone else love this series?

Brandon Blackstock, a talent manager known as both the ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson and the former stepson of Reba McEntire, has died. He was 48.

"It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away," a rep for the family tells PEOPLE in a statement. "Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time."

On Wednesday, Aug. 6, Clarkson revealed Blackstock had been ill, and she postponed her Las Vegas residency to spend time with their children, River, 11, and Remington, 9.

She's fine! She sends her love!

Are gay male stories only marketable when written by women?

With the massive popularity of stories like Love, Simon and Heartstopper, critiques have popped up about them being written by women – especially straight women. The critiques on straight women writing queer stories became so loud that some authors have felt pressured to identify their sexualities publicly — sometimes before they'd even processed their sexualities for themselves.

Author and YouTuber Savy Writes Books launched a recent conversation about the topic on Threads with her own "Pride month hot take."

"The 'straight women are dominating MM [male-on-male] fiction!!' is a moral panic rooted in misogyny," she wrote. "Let's look at some examples, all of authors I LOVE. Hank Green was still publicly identifying as straight when he wrote his FF [female-on-female] series (which I loved), and nobody ever got mad at him for being a straight man writing FF with a bisexual FMC [female main character]. Nobody demanded he come out of the closet, and he got to do so on his own terms, when he was ready."

She gave the examples of Becky Albertalli, Casey McQuiston, and Alice Oseman, who wrote Love, Simon, Red White and Royal Blue, and Heartstopper, respectively. "All these authors were presumed to be cishet women, then were harassed for writing MM fiction, harassed to the point of feeling pressured to out themselves. That is not safe or okay."

Men continue to dominate the film industry, even when it comes to female-centered films. "Men lead the exploitative lesbian porn industry, creating it for a straight male gaze," she says. Ultimately, she's calling for readers to stop policing authors' sexualities and just enjoy the book.

"My point is, stop wasting time speculating which authors might be cishet women and just read some queer books. You never know who is straight or who is cis. You never know what someone might be questioning. There is LITERALLY no way for you to know that about an author. And accept that some of this stems from James Somerton style queer misogyny. Because it does. Signed, A very queer woman who writes FF, MM, and more.

Do you agree?

"It tells the story of the Morgans, a hard-working Welsh mining family, from the point of view of the youngest child, Huw, who lives with his affectionate and kind parents as well as his sister and five brothers, in the South Wales Valleys during the late Victorian era. The story chronicles life in the South Wales coalfields, the loss of that way of life and its effects on the family."

I just watched it yesterday for the first time. Huw's character was adorable as hell and my favorite scene was when the boxer and his manager smack the shit out of the abusive teacher. A bit too much of bible-thumping moments, but still a very endearing film.

Was susceptible to total collapse. Wonder how many other buildings are flawed and no one knows.

[quote]Citicorp Center’s design was not universally loved. But the scale and ambition of its engineering were undeniable. In a review, the Times’ architecture critic Paul Goldberger concluded that the bank’s new office, despite lacking in originality, would “probably give more pleasure to more New Yorkers than any other high‐rise building of the decade.”

[quote]This prediction almost proved disastrously far from the truth. In fact, were it not for two college students who helped uncover a grave flaw in the building’s engineering, Citicorp Center might have killed thousands of New Yorkers.

My question is spurred by the "Americans, how many if these U.S. cities have you been to?"

I am always curious about the travel recommendations to visiting foreigners (and thinking of suggestions made in good faith) -- and why.

The cities I usually recommend: New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and Charleston SC. The last is for visitors with time or on a repeat visit, but the big four get very good reactions -- and Philadelphia fares quite well.

One popular recommendation I don't make: New Orleans (unless they are wild for jazz). I think it's more interesting to Americans as a Euro-Lite experience, an American city with obvious European influences, boozy, sloppy, dirty. fir any European, New Orleans will recall the last time their city hosted football finals. It's more exotic to Americans than to Europeans. And L.A., too, seems always to have been a better idea than a reality.

I have to have a root canal and my dentist referred me to a specialist to do it. I called to make an appointment and was told "Just so you know it will require a scan that is not covered by insurance." I pressed the person on the phone, saying, "You are telling me I need to have a scan, to have the necessary procedure, but it is not covered by insurance?" She hemmed and hawed saying she was not sure. I asked her how much the scan was and she said 240 dollars. I asked again, why would I need a scan that is not covered to get a covered procedure? She coudl not answer so I asked them to call me back when they could tell me. What the fuck is this nonsense?

Welcome to Plathville star Barry Plath has seemingly been working on his revenge body as he has been hitting the gym hard following his split from ex Kim Plath.

The reality TV star, 55, looked unrecognizable when he was seen in a recent selfie with son Micah Plath looking ripped as the father-son duo showed off their bulked-up arms and chest on Saturday, August 26.

Since Barry and Kim announced their split in June 2022, he has found a new love: fitness. “Working out, that’s my new hobby,” the father of 10 said during the trailer for the upcoming season of the family’s reality series. “Blood flows in and everything gets bigger,” he laughed.

The former couple – who share children Ethan, Hosanna, Micah, Moriah, Lydia, Isaac, Amber, Cassia, Mercy and Joshua – shocked fans when they separated after 24 years of marriage. “After considerable thought and discussion, we have decided to end our marriage,” Kim and Barry told People in a joint statement at the time. “While this was not an easy decision, we know it’s the best choice for both of us. We have been through many highs and lows in our 24 years of marriage and as we navigate this new chapter in our lives, we will co-parent our amazing children.”

Prior to their announcement, the pair’s marital struggles played out during season 4 of the TLC series. They revealed they had been living separately for “a while” after Kim told her husband she wasn’t “happy.”

“One thing I thought wouldn’t ever be shaken was us. Now it’s totally shaken up. It’s just really sad. It’s a tragedy,” he told Kim. Kim later explained that she previously felt ignored by her husband when she tried to discuss their marital issues.

“Now it’s gotten to the point where I’m ready to leave the marriage, now he cares,” she added. “But I feel like if I was really worth it, he would have listened earlier.”

While Kim has seemingly moved on from their marriage, hinting at a new relationship in the trailer for the upcoming season, Barry has taken on the role of single parent as he cares for the former couple’s younger children.

“This man right here sets a real high standard for men in my life! I never really realized how important the role that a father plays in his daughter’s life is till I started restoring my relationship with my dad,” daughter Moriah Plath gushed about her father via Instagram in May. “My dad has grown so so much as a person and father and it’s changed my life. I guess the best way to put it is I’m secure! I feel priceless, and I am the most confident in who I am than I have ever been in my life.”

Team USA gymnast Frederick Richard roared to a second-place finish in the men's all-around at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships on Saturday. His quest for a medal at the championships went hand-and-hand with another quest: to make men's gymnastics more cool.

As part of his goal to help grow the sport, Richard swapped out part of his uniform for the competition. Instead of the stirrup pants and socks typically worn during four of the men's events — parallel bars, high bar, pommel horse and rings — Richard opted for color-coordinated compression leggings and a pair of shorts with his University of Michigan uniform.

It premieres on Netflix in October, produced by Norman Lear. Starring Miles Heizer.

[quote] Currently titled “The Corps,” Netflix has given the show a 10 episode order. The official logline states, “Set in 1990, ‘The Corps’ is about Cameron, a bullied, gay high school student who joins the Marine Corps with his straight best friend, Ray — a dangerous move when being gay in the military meant jail time or worse. As these two friends plunge into Marine Corps boot camp, where the landmines are both literal and metaphorical, they join a platoon of young men on a harrowing journey of transformation.”

What did you do that you don't do now?

I found this quote by Marilyn Frye in a reddit thread.

“ To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex. Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”

Why hasn’t Stone had a hit movie since the 90s. Why won’t anything stick? I think Murphy needs to create a vehicle around her a la Jessica Lange.

Glenn Close, the 'Sunset Blvd' train might leave the station after all, but you won't be boarding it after 25 years of lobbying for it. It looks like with the new success of the musical's revival both on Broadway and The West End, star Nicole Scherzinger is the one boarding the train - and she's manifesting this dream right now.

"I'd love to do it all. I'd love to do some interesting films, some really bold, daring roles. I'd love to do a movie musical, obviously. Still waiting for someone to do Sunset Boulevard the movie musical with me. Music, still. I wanna just do stuff that shows all of me and continue to do singular stuff like this show is."

Scherzinger recently said that there has been "some talk" of a Sunset Boulevard flim adaptation, stating: ""That is my dream, so I’m manifesting that right now."

Wow! What a wonderful gay-themed movie.

It's on Showtime this month, and I honestly didn't know what to expect.

The actors in this movie were incredible. Not only because they were so young, but because they were so convincing!

The story was excellent (although endings are always difficult for writers, this movie included).

The two leads were very handsome. Félix Lefebvre was such a cute twink, and although it took me a little bit to appreciate Benjamin Voisin's looks, by the end of the movie I was smitten!

I'm so proud of these two French actors, because they were amazing. Better than any American actors in their age group.

Unlike most gay-themed movies, this one had so much heart and emotion in it.

If you get a chance, please watch this movie. It's so worth your time.

Everyone called her Bea. Did she miss the memo? It’s as pretentious as Deborah Harry.

Nextdoor and Active duty pornie twink Scott Finn decided to inform his folllowers that he is no longer married and finally free as the previous year was really harsh for him. Also he had to inform everyone that he had a wild MMF threesome with his childhood friend and his gf/wife. My guess Finn didn't give a shit about his wife's daughter from another man and was constantly cheating on her with guys and girls.
