I don’t really keep up with the gay porn industry, but this notice from Titan Media caught my eye …

It seems that Titan has announced it will pay off the outstanding legal debt, up to $1,000,000, for former Congressman Aaron Schock if the rock-hard bodied Republican will agree to star in a series of hardcore Titan Men gay porn films.

I’m guessing that since Schock loved Downton Abbey so much that he redecorated his Congressional offices in that style, that the name of his first foray into gay porn might be … “Downtown Aaron” … “Servicing Lord Grantham” … “Upstairs, Down There.”

"Mister Piece Theater"?

Just sayin’.

After the Iowa caucuses, Mike Huckabee has dropped out of the 2016 presidential race. I didn't even know he was in the race.

Don't stare directly into his eyes ....

So, six months ago TLC canceled "19 Kids and Counting" when we learned that eldest son Josh Duggar had molested his sisters and other girls, had schtupped a porn star and prostitutes, was addicted to porn, and was very active on adultery websites.

Yeah, quite the Family Values programming, eh? But now it appears … and I say appears because the story is appearing in only a few places, like the Christian Post, that TLC is bringing "19 Kids And Counting" back.

As I say, this might just be a joke, or a stupid rumor, but if it turns out to be true, I suggest the name be changed to:

"18 Kids, A Child Molesting-Adulterer-Porn-Whore And Counting".

Truth in advertising.

Who asked for “Zoolander 2”, a sequel to a fifteen-year-old movie, because we need to have a talk. Seriously.

I’ve been watching Ellen’s Design Challenge on HGTV; a competition show for furniture designers.

I was saddened when little hottie Bradley Bowers went from first in week one to worst in week two and was kicked off the show, but … it paved the way for under the radar hottie, furniture maker Kyle Huntoon to cross my radar.

Hot Gay Nerd.

I don’t know about the gay part, buy he’s hot and kinda nerdy, so I’m good.

Two [t]Rump related thoughts:

First up: he wants a new election in Iowa because he says Ted Cruz cheated. The "comb-over" wants a "do-over".

Secondly: I don't need another reason to adore Adele, but, well, here's another reason: she has demanded that Donald [t]Rump stop using her songs at his rallies.

Yeah, I adore her.

A friend is buying a home and was looking at various properties and then using Google Earth to get a street view. Another co-worker, as I looked at the photos, asked if the picture was of my house and I said it wasn’t. She asked to see my house, and so I Google Earth’d it and, well, they have updated their maps and it now shows the real color of our home and not the original blue-gray.

But what I love is that the house looks like it’s in the middle of the woods.

It looks so secluded … but it’s not.

So, a huge shocker about the Iowa caucuses, right? No, not that [t]Rump lost, or Ted Cruz lied or that Ben Carson slept though most it.

Rick Santorum quit the race! Isn’t that surprising!?! I mean he sure seemed like a good choice … but even funnier is that the minute he quit, he endorsed Marco Rubio and yet he is unable to name a single thing Marco Rubio has accomplished.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Santorum could not answer a direct about what Rubio has done, except this:

“[He won] a tough election in Florida, pull[ing] people together from a variety of spots.”

Co-host Mika Brzezinski pushed further, saying “Jeb Bush ran Florida. Donald Trump built a company. Marco Rubio… finish the sentence.”

Santorum couldn’t. Now that’s a ringing endorsement.

Careful when listening to the radio these days.
A U.K.-based radio station's programmers are feeling the heat this week after they, ahem, inadvertently aired five minutes of a gay porn soundtrack.
Yup, Jazz FM, which focuses on light jazz, standards and occasional blues, mistakenly aired a recording of what sounded like "two British men in a mostly wordless, but fairly graphic, exchange" on Sunday.
Mike Vitti, the station's head of programming, apologized for the porn gaffe: "Unfortunately we had an unauthorized access to the live feed this evening which resulted in a highly regrettable incident. Please accept our profound and sincere apologies for any offence that may have been caused.”
One man's offense is another man's, er, well, you know......

So, I'm still watching Smash.
I love a good show tune as well as the next queen, and, as Carlos likes to say, "It's Glee for adults."
What that says about the fact that we both also like Glee, I do not know, but....
I am still not really liking Katharine MacPhee. She doesn't come off as naive farmgirl making her way in the Big Apple; she comes off as schemer.
But I am liking Brit actor Raza Jaffrey, who plays her boyfriend.
Cute and English. 
And I does loves me an accent.

2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, which was created to honor and remember those who have passed from the virus.
I remember seeing the Quilt in Miami many years ago, and, knowing I'd be moved, but feeling shock as I walked through the convention center looking at just a partial exhibition, and wiping away tears as I read from the panels.
It was one of those Never Forget moments: 

Billy Graham's son, Franklin, says that not only is Obama not a Christian, according to Islamic law, he's a Muslim. 
Yes, he's waving that tired old flag.
Of course, to Little Franky Graham, Mittsy is also not a Christian.
And, if these things were true, that's bad because......?
Who knows. All I know is that the wacknuts are still out there, and still spouting the same idiotic rhetoric that the mindless minions drinking Tea will use in their next foot stomp.

Seriously Top Chef? Sarah in the finale? 
She served you a dish that was nothing like her vision. A frozen piece of Ginger Mousse that didn't melt into the pasta? How does that say top chef?
Of course, now I know you're gonna give the win to Paul--who deserves it.
Sidenote: Paul has some hot thighs. Just sayin'.
Sidenote 2: Anyone else sick of Sarah's Taylor-Swift-like astonishment when she wins anything?

LGBT Best and Worst [via HuffPoGay]

The effort to legalize same-sex marriage passed a long-standing hurdle in the Maryland House of Delegates when the  House voted 71-67  to give gay couples the right to marry. The measure heads to the state Senate where last year it easily cleared the 47-member body. Governor O'Malley says he will sign it.

"Amelia," a featured HuffPost Gay Voices bloggers, offers her reaction to her 7-year-old son telling her that he's gay:"...[A few months ago] I was on the phone with a relative who had just discovered that I was blogging on The Huffington Post and openly discussing my son's crush on Blaine. I was in another room alone (I thought), explaining, "We're not saying he's straight, and we're not saying he's gay. We're saying we love who he is," when my son's voice piped up behind me."Yes, I am," he said. "Am what, baby?" I asked. "Gay. I'm gay." My world paused for a moment, and I saw the "geez, Mom, didn't you know that already?" look on my son's face. I got off the phone and leaned down to eye level with him and rubbed my nose against his. "I love you so much." "I know," he said, and ran off to play with his brothers.

HuffPost Gay Voices Editor-at-Large Michelangelo Signorile talked with wacknut Victoria Jackson at CPAC, and she had a lot on her mind:On Obama: "This president was raised marxist. His parents, his grandparents, his college professors, his whole life, he's been immersed in marxism, even his church. Jeremiah Wright did not preach Christianity. He preached black liberation theology, which is marxism disguised as religion."On Republican presidential candidates: "Republicans and the Democrats are looking the same these days. Newt Gingrich and Mitt are socialists. I think Santorum is the only conservative."On Prop 8: "We should vote on everything--of course we should vote on everything," she said, though she almost instantly changed her mind: "Oh no, I believe in a republic where we should have elected officials. Democracy turns into mob-ocracy."

The Westboro Baptist Church said it would picket Whitney Houston's funeral because they're all Christ-like, you know. And they posted pictures and stories on the website of their time at the service. Except....they weren't really there. The pictures were photoshopped. Of course that didn't stop them from releasing a parody of Houston's signature song. "I Will Always Love You", entitled "God Will Always Hate You, Whitney." So, so Christ-like.

Filed under Amazing is the news that Oklahoma has elected its first openly gay state senator, when Democratic state Congressman Al McAffrey soared to a landslide victory, besting Republican opponent Jason Reese with more than 66% of the vote. Congratulations, Al, and those people of Oklahoma who voted for you. 

Australian comedienne Magda Szubanski--best known in the US as Mrs. Hoggett, the farmer's wife in the "Babe" movies, and as the voice of Miss Viola in "Happy Feet"--announced on a national television show that she is gay: "Oh yes, yeah, absolutely...people will say, 'Why did [I] take a while to do this?' I needed to be as solid as I could be so I could do this in the strongest possible way and be really clear about myself."

Yesterday, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued its order finding that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act--the federal definition of marriage--is unconstitutional.Un-freaking-constitutional!

Now, in the Not-so-gay-but-definitely-crazy news: 

At a campaign stop in Phoenix, Rick Santorum was asked to respond to speech he made in 2008, in which he said, “Satan has his sights on the United States of America! Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity and sensuality as the root to attack all of the strong plants that have so deeply rooted in the American tradition.”
Now, he backtracks a little, leaving out Satan: “I’m a person of faith. I believe in good and evil. I think if somehow or another because you’re a person of faith you believe in good and evil is a disqualifier for president, we’re going to have a very small pool of candidates who can run for president.”
Oh, Rick, you sweater-vested-delusional-narrow-minded-homophobic-one-note. I would hazard a guess that most people believe in good and evil, good and bad, but we wouldn't use the fear of Satan infiltrating our lives to be elected to office.
And, last time I checked, evil was wearing a sweater-vest and telling everyone else how to live their lives.
M'kay, Frothy?

Lastly, after her six wins at the Grammys, Adele returned to England for the Brit awards where she won the night's top prize.
Overcome with emotion, she began her acceptance speech only to be told her time was up.
Kanye West say what?
Adele smiled sweetly, said a quick thanks and then gave a One Fingered Salute to the suits who cut her short.
Word to the wise: Do.Not.Mess.With.Adele.

American Airlines booted Alec Baldwin off a flight this week because the "star"wouldn't turn off his electronic device as instructed.

Because he's Alec Baldwin, apparently. And he Tweeted of his booting: “The flight attendant on American reamed me out for playing Words With Friends while we sat at the gate, not moving. No wonder American Air is bankrupt.”

Note to Alec. It's an FAA rule, asshat, and it applies to everyone, even bloated former hotties who co-star on TV shows.

And, according to passengers … after the confrontation over his phone, Alec got up to go to the bathroom and angrily slammed the lavatory door. We’re told it was so loud the captain called back to flight attendants to find out what was happening. That’s when the captain himself made the call to have Baldwin removed.

The captain!

Seriously, Baldwin, without 30 Rock most of us wouldn't know who you were except for the guy married to Kim Basinger who said nasty, vile things to his daughter over the phone.

You.Aren't.Special.


Rupert Penry Jones.
That's all.


Rod Blagojevich, asshatted criminal and former Illinois governor has been sentenced to 14 years for attempting to sell Barack Obama's seat in the U.S. Senate. The good news is that he joins his predecessor, George Ryan, another former Illinois governor who has been locked up since 2006.
i wonder if they get a group rate for Illinois governors?


Ric Alonso and his partner, Ernie Koneck, were prominent power players in the Southern California Scholarship Association, which produces the Miss Hollywood pageant, which leads into the Miss California pageant, which leads to Miss America. Alonso is listed as a “major sponsor” for the 2011 scholarship donations, while Koneck is the pageantry point of contact.

Until now. Now comes word that Ric Alonso is also known as Jake Cruise, and runs an online porn website, and, following that revelation, Koneck resigned as Executive Director of the Southern California Scholarship Association. Koneck did state, however, that Alonso/Cruise was in no way involved in the Miss Hollywood pageant, other than to provide scholarship funding.

So, does this make a difference? Should Koneck have resigned because of a website his partner runs? And is every single action that every single person makes put up for scrutiny at every possible turn?

I mean, pornography is legal in this country, right? So, if Ric Alonso's financial support is called into question, then do we check what every single person who donates to every single cause does for a living?

Emanyea Lockett is nine-years-old. He called his teacher 'cute'. He was suspended for sexual harassment.
Nine.
Cute.
Suspended.
So, let me get this queer: In Massachusetts, a nine-year-old boy tells his teacher she's cute and gets a suspension, but in New York, students relentlessly and endlessly bullied Jamey Rodemeyer until he killed himself and they also get a suspension.
Something is terribly wrong here.
Terribly wrong. [source]


Times are tough these days, economically speaking.
People losing their jobs, their homes. I knock wood almost constantly.
But, oh dear, trying being the Queen. Not A queen, but THE Queen; as in, of England.
Her royal paycheck has been frozen until 2015 and she'll only be given $50 million of taxpayers' money to pay for travel expenses and palace upkeep.
Oh, the humanity!!!
I doubt this will garner much sympathy with the commoners.
But there are rumors that HRH is considering renting out rooms at St. James Palace during the Olympics next year. QEII running a B&B?
Oh.The.Humanity.
Excuse me while I start an online petition and donation website to raise funds for the poor royals.
