I Didn't Say It ...

Rosie O'Donnell, firing back at The Felon who tried to deflect from the Epstein mess—PS he’s on the list—by saying he would revoke Rosie’s citizenship:

“hey donald – you’re rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours. you call me a threat to humanity –but I’m everything you fear: a loud woman a queer woman a mother who tells the truth an american who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze you build walls –I build a life for my autistic kid in a country where decency still exists you crave loyalty –I teach my children to question power you sell fear on golf courses – I make art about surviving trauma you lie, you steal, you degrade – I nurture, I create, I persist you are everything that is wrong with america –and I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with it you want to revoke my citizenship? go ahead and try, king joffrey with a tangerine spray tan i’m not yours to silence i never was”

Spot on takedown of a bigoted criminal narcissist BUT … and it’s a Felon-sized butt:

F**k you Rosie. F**k you for running away and leaving the rest of us to fight for America and clean up this mess because we don’t have the money to up and move when it gets tough. We speak out about our neighbors being rounded up and taken away by ICE; about our trans brothers and sisters being erased; about erasing the history of Black Americans as if they don't matter; about stripping away healthcare for Americans, food for children, and the rights of women to make choices about their own bodies.

This whole thing smacks of protests against the Vietnam war in the 1960s and how protesters were told to love America or leave it. Their protests were love and leaving solves nothing; nothing changes.

You have the money, the influence, the social media presence, the voice to do good for America, but you ran. The rest of us stayed; we fight, we march, we speak up, we resist, while you live a cozy life in decent Ireland and "hope" America gets better. So, save your moral high ground and maybe teach your kids not to run from a fight, but to stay and help and work together and fix it.

Oh, and I see Ellen DeGeneres has come out and says she has your back; tell her to F**k Off, too.

Cheyenne Jackson, out actor, turns 50 and reflects on his life:

“Today I’m 50. I’ve been waiting a long time to do the Molly Shannon ‘I’m 50!’-high kick, and now I can for real. 50. A number that once felt impossibly far away… now feels somehow right on time. This past year has been a reckoning. My dog died. My best friend [Broadway performer Gavin Creel]died.
Hollywood halted. Los Angeles burned. Grief has been my steady companion. ‘Hey girl, I see you’re back,’ I say to her. She lingers for a while, we dance a bit … it’s slow and flirty at first, then it morphs quickly into a WWF match. I finally push her off, then she floats along like a burnt-sugar-scented cloud. What once was sweet is now scorched. My beloved children are almost nine … How? They are growing into their own bold, beautiful selves, and they remind me every day that joy is loud, messy, and everywhere … if I stay present enough to notice. This year I stepped fully into my writing, not as a side passion,
but as another extension of my art. My tough new lit agent was worried I would suck. Turns out I don’t. He was surprised. I wasn’t—but pretended to be. It’s a little thing I like to do. Pretending, you see … it’s been a theme in my life. The fear of not being good enough always nearby, waiting in the woods like a wet creature ready to pounce and flog me before I can do it all by myself. I ache to connect. I’m working on it. My friends push through my isolation. I refocused on my sobriety. I took it for granted. Treated it like gravity. So constant, you forget it’s holding you up. Trying to let myself feel more, hide less. And yes, like so many immediate families, due to this impossible political hellscape, we’ve navigated differences. Tensions. Unsaid things. But beneath it all, I’m still holding on to hope. For healing. Or maybe some ‘Love Can Build a Bridge’-style-JUDDS sh*t to happen and make it all better. And yet, through every tear, every missed soccer goal, every broken toe (mine), every broken foot (Willow’s), is [my husband] Jason. My love. My north star. He sees me clearly, loves me ANYWAY, and reminds me (daily) that I’m not alone in any of this. So here’s to 50. Not a finish line. Not a starting line. Not a reinvention. Less performing. More being. And definitely more high kicks.”

What a great post to celebrate a milestone, with honesty, joy, and family and love and insight into where you were, where you are, and where you’re going.

Happy Birthday, sir.

John Barrowman, out actor, on the scandal that derailed his career four years ago:

“May 3, 2021, my world shattered and everything changed for me. It makes me sad because a lot of people who have attacked me are the people that I fought for to allow them to have a voice. [People had been out to get me but] could not get me any other way but, ‘Oh, let’s get him because we’ve heard stories that he flashed and did certain stupid things on set. Now, the thing that upsets me the most is they tried to make it out that I was a sexual predator. I contemplated taking my own life a couple of times. I didn’t see a way out from it. Everything that I loved had been stripped away from me. I was badly advised in the very beginning. I should have fought. But I was told to not say anything because it was [during] the whole #MeToo thing. I’m most disappointed in the way my colleagues in the industry didn’t speak up, did not step forward and say ‘This is ridiculous. This is stupid.’ Listen, I’d never do it again. Ever. We learned from what’s happened. I was the beefcake for Dr. Who. I was not asked about doing nude scenes or taking my clothes off in original contracts. It was written. So, therefore, if you want to talk about a power dynamic, I thought if I didn’t do the stuff, I would lose my job. If you don’t do what’s written in the script. And, as an actor, that’s what I do. However I made myself feel comfortable, however wrong you think it was, at that time I was making myself feel comfortable in the situations that I was standing naked or doing whatever. It’s hard to talk about because it upsets me and I get upset and still a little bit depressed when I sit and think about and hear about all the stuff people say about certain things in our community and I’m like, ‘I could help, I could do stuff!’ But nobody wants to touch me. I’m not asking for sympathy from anybody. I don’t want anyone’s sympathy. I’m just telling you my side.”

Barrowman says he was banned from the entertainment industry in 2021 and his career is only just now coming back. Shortly after the accusations were made, Barrowman released a statement calling his past actions “high-spirited behavior” and “tomfoolery,” but insisting he never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable but his remarks did little to quell the criticism. Almost overnight, his character Captain Jack Harkness was scrubbed from the Doctor Who and Torchwood cinematic universe and he could not get work.

Barrowman says the whole thing practically destroyed him.

It's Snarkurday!

Look, I’ll just say it … Judge Judy is worth every single penny of the $47 million a year she makes. And now the Los Angeles Superior Court has agreed that Scheindlin’s salary is appropriate.

Judge Judy, the highest paid person in television, was named in a lawsuit brought against CBS by Rebel Entertainment who claimed that by CBS paying Judy that many coins was part of a plan to deny Rebel Entertainment their share of profit participation; Rebel was the talent agency that “originally packaged Judge Judy in the 1990s.”

Rebel Entertainment Partners asserted that it was entitled to a 5% share of net profits, but accounting statements seem to prove that the syndicated show runs at a deficit largely because Sheindlin’s salary was deducted as an expense. Rebel claimed that when CBS doubled Judge Judy’s salary a decade ago, it set fire to their profits.

I can hear her say it now …

“They don’t pay me $47 million, cuz I’m gorgeous, they pay me that because I’m smart.”

And deserves every penny.

Russell Crowe’s divorce from Danielle Spencer, his wife of nine years, is close to being finalized., so he is celebrating by having a Divorce Sale through Sotheby’s Australia.

One item that was sold, for$7,000, was a leather jockstrap … from Russell’s nights at The Stud?

Sadly, no, it was part of a costume he wore in Cinderella Man, when he was younger and hotter.

Still seven grand for a used jock? In a tweet, Russell claimed that the collection, entitled “The Art of Divorce,” netted him $3.7 million in five hours.

It’s not Judge Judy money, but it’s nice, right?

John Barrowman—Dr. Who, Torchwood, Arrow and The Flash—is a hot, gay, sexy, nerdy, and a giver. And he doesn’t like anyone chastising him for his charity; are you listening West Hollywood Target store?

Barrowman, as he announced on social media, bought a “$40 gift certificate, jacket and shirt for a homeless man at the Target store located at 7100 Santa Monica Blvd” and was then lectured by Target staff who told him he shouldn’t buy anything for the homeless man:

“I am disgusted by what I was told. Arrest me for trying to help someone. The stupidity behind that rule. I want an explanation. How dare you tell me, as a customer, who I am allowed to buy for and what I am allowed to buy?”

Barrowman also noted that the people in line behind him thought his being admonished for caring about his fellow man was “ridiculous, also”:

“That gentleman needed help, a little bit of help to get him up, to make his day a little better, and Target you were trying to deny that. So I’m a little pissed off with you right now.”

Target heard of the kerfuffle and released an apology:

 “We’re very sorry for the experience you had at the LA Target store. We absolutely do not have a policy against this type of purchase, and are addressing it immediately with the team members involved. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”

Bringing it to their attention? Since when does a store get to dictate for whom you are buying things?

Oh Tar-jhay, I am embarrassed for you.

Oh John, you are now even hotter in my mind.

A couple of weeks ago, we talk about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, being allowed to bid for art aat an auction; the child actually purchased apiece of art for several thousand dollars.

Now we find out that Blue Ivy has her own stylist … at age six. While most girls her age are dressed by their mothers, Blue Ivy’s mom don’t play that, and hired Manuel Mendez, her former personal assistant, to dress and style her child.

And he’s been doing it since Blue Ivy was 20 months old.

Seriously; that whole family is out of touch and raising a child who will be utterly helpless, not know the value of a daughter and be incapable of dressing herself.

Damn my mother and father for making me tie my own shoes!

This is a mess.

Khloe Kardastrophe is expected to pop any day now with the bay she made with basketball player, and playa, Tristan Thompson. And then Thompson was outed, with video proof no less, as a serial cheater. And Kardastrope is in Cleveland, his hometown, awaiting the birth and is too far along to travel.

As the ALLEGATIONS that Tristan Thompson cheated, with more than one woman, and more than one woman at a time, on Kardastrophe, a source for the family—and you just know it’s That Woman—said:

“[This] has been a long time coming.”

Thompson was spotted spending Saturday night cozying up to a  brunette at the PH-D Lounge New York, with video of the duo entering his hotel at 5AM.There is also footage of a night back in October 2017 that ALLEGEDLY shows Thompson kissing one woman while a different woman gropes him.

That Woman The source says:

“Tristan has been consistently cheating on Khloé. He’s a serial cheater. And there will be more women to come out of the woodwork. First Lamar cheated on her and now Tristan. She’s been through so much.”

Look, do I feel bad for her? Kind of; but she picked him …and he left his pregnant girlfriend for her, so … and you just know this will turn into a Very Special Episode of Taking Out The Trash Keeping Up With The Kardastrophes.

And that’ll be a mess, too.

I Didn't Say It ....

John Barrowman turned this week, and launched a new T-shirt campaign supporting transgender equality:

“Our transgender friends and family need our help and support as a lot of decisions are going to be made on their behalf that don’t take their needs and rights into consideration. Most of us have the luxury of being who we are and living our truth. We must stand in solidarity with those who are not as lucky… Let’s show our support for our transgender family because it was never about bathrooms.”

We all know it’s about fear and transphobia and ignorance.

Scott Pruitt, Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] Administrator, on whether or not carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to climate change:

"I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so no, I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see."

I mean, we’ve been hearing for decades about pollution, ozone layers, global warming, automobile emissions, factory emissions, and this tool is in denial because, to be enlightened would mean his and _____’s buddies would make a few less coins doing their business.

[photo]

Brian Schatz, Democratic Senator from Hawaii, responding to Pruitt:

"Anyone who denies over a century's worth of established science and basic facts is unqualified to be the administrator of the EPA. Now more than ever, the Senate needs to stand up to Scott Pruitt and his dangerous views."

No amount of corporate wealth will save the planet when asshats like Pruitt are in charge.

Resist.

Charlie Hunnam, on what he does to keep his body in shape for his movies:

“I’m interested in having a high fitness level across the board. Running, swimming, jumping rope, hiking, jiu-jitsu—I try to do it all. I also try to make love as often as I can. That’s an important part of fitness.”

If I can ever be of service, Charlie, call me. I’d enjoy the workout myself.

Just sayin’.

Van Jones, news commentator, on _____ driving liberals insane:

“I mean that there are two ways that Trump can be normalized. One is for us just to get used to him saying crazy things, lying, and attacking people, and that’s a big danger. There’s a more insidious danger, which is a danger of his becoming normalized at an emotional and social level. He is completely fear driven, he is completely polarizing, he is completely caught up in his own drama, and I’m starting to see liberals act the same way. We’re almost trying to fight polarization with polarization at this point, and I’m afraid that we’re feeding what we’re fighting. .... There’s always a danger that you become the thing that you’re fighting. We could absolutely oppose all of his policies and his crazy personality, but, at the end of the day, we’re trying to assemble a governing majority. You can take your eyes off that prize. ...  I’m focused on trying to figure out how do we fight him but do so in a way that leaves a bridge open to definitely motivating more liberals, but also, understanding and converting more people who are right now in the Trump camp.”

He's right; we need to focus on the bigger picture than rant and rave at idiotic deflections that _____ uses. And we need to work, work, to find people who will do in office what we need and want them to do. And if someone isn't working for We The People either Red or Blue, Vote Them Out.
PS Van Jones is hot. Just sayin'.

I Didn't Say It ....

William H. Macy, Shameless actor, on co-star Emmy Rossum’s demand to be paid the same as Macy:

“They wrote the Equal Rights Amendment in 1927, it didn’t get passed by both houses of Congress until 1972. It still hasn’t been approved by all the states therefore it didn’t make it as an amendment to the Constitution. It’s about f-ing time, don’t you think? She works as hard as I do. She deserves everything. The only thing I got over Emmy Rossum is I’m better looking.”

Rossum and Macy are both the stars of that show so why aren’t they paid the same? I mean, it’s that simple, no?

Kellyanne Conway, saying the White House was “irresponsible” for saying _____ knew about the Russian hack:

“That is just remarkable. That is breathtaking. I guess [Josh Earnest]’s auditioning to be a political pundit after his job is over soon. That is incredibly disappointing to hear from the podium of the White House press secretary, because he basically—he essentially stated that the president-elect had knowledge of this, maybe even fanned the flames. It’s incredibly irresponsible and I wonder if his boss, President Obama agrees.”

Obama does, you tool, he does agree.

We all do, but the GOP doesn’t care about that as long as they have the White House ... for now.

Nicholas Landry, LGBT rights activist, on his coming out and his brother, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s battle against equality:

“My coming out process was not the easiest time, and now that I’m standing on my own, I know I can’t sit silent anymore. I’m not really into politics (but) Jeffrey is suing…to block the right for equal marriage and equal rights in the state of Louisiana… It’s that kind of hatred and that kind of bigotry and that type kind of discrimination that is, just, uncalled for.”

You are political, Nicholas, because you are fighting for true equality for all Americans, regardless of their presumed ‘differences.

[photo]

Jeff Landry, Louisiana’s Republican Attorney General, on his fight against LGBT rights and his relationship with his openly gay brother Nicholas:

“I love my brother, that’s unquestionable… (but) what I tell him is that we have to respect the law.  We have to respect the Constitution.”

Um, Jeff, you delusional tool, where does it say in the Constitution that LGBT Americans have no rights.

Please find me that passage or shut the **** up.

[photo]

Kellyanne Conway, on President-elect _____'s decision to stay on as an executive producer of “The Apprentice”:

“He’s a very transparent guy. Everyone can see what he’s doing and the fact is that he is conferring with all types of experts to tell him what he is allowed to do and not to do as president of the United States. And if this is one of the approved activities, then he will perhaps consider staying on ... but were we so concerned about the hours and hours and hours spent on the golf course of the current president? I mean, the presidents have a right to do things in their spare time or their leisure time. Nobody objects to that.”

Golf is a leisure activity, you tool, producing a TV show is a job.

Seriously, this woman's head is so far up _____'s ass I'm amazed we can hear her speak at all.

Bill Gates, comparing _____ to JFK: 

“But in the same way President Kennedy talked about the space mission and got the country behind that, I think whether it’s education or stopping epidemics … [or] in this energy space, there can be a very upbeat message that [_____’s] administration [is] going to organize things, get rid of regulatory barriers, and have American leadership through innovation.”

Gates has apparently had the _____ Kool-Aid and lost his ever-loving mind.

Donald _____ is nothing like JFK.

John Barrowman, on losing an acting job because he’s gay: 

“The producers pulled me into the office and sat me down—one was gay—and said they didn’t want me to talk about my boyfriend at the time, Scott, who I eventually married…In a nutshell, they asked me to go back into the closet, and I went back to Scott and said, ‘I can’t do that’.”

Barrowman’s example should be followed by all gay actors ... live your life, not your career.

I Didn't Say It

Mostly asshats and wingnuts this week ... but let's start with the non-asshat:

John Barrowman, on being photographed with Vine homophobe Nash Grier: 

“When I took the picture with Nash Grier I had no idea that he’d made some homophobic comments, however he’s standing with one of the biggest gay guys in the world, and if he doesn’t change his homophobic attitudes and doesn’t grow up…. then he’s an asshole.”

Word.

James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, on bisexuality:

“If men can marry and if the things that are said about same-sex relationships and marriage and the Bible are misunderstandings, what do you do with the rest of LGBT? What do you do with bisexuality? If one of those is right and proper and holy, what about those who have sex with males and females at the same time? That’s called orgies, that’s what it used to be called, or just sleeping around with everybody and it doesn’t matter. How can a Christian minister who reads the Bible condone that?”

James, you’re a moron. Just because bisexuals are attracted to both genders doesn’t necessarily mean they are having sex with both genders at the same time.

And what of all those so-called straight folks who’ve orgied about? Are they okay because they self-identify as straight?

Ben Carson, anti-LGBT activist loon, agreeing with Dobson, says same-sex marriage is offensive to God: 

“Well, you know, my emphasis is that marriage is an institution established by God himself...So when you start distorting that, you’re really going pretty deep into the finger-in-your-eye to God. That’s why I have a hard time understanding why ministers are willing to do that.”

Um, Ben, you dick. Marriage was an institution created by man, er, men, to make women their property, and those men invoked the name of God to make it sound all the more reasonable; it didn’t work.

The people giving the finger to God are people like you who fight against change because that’s the way you want it to be.

Funny, though, I wonder which side of this argument you’d have fallen on back in the Sixties when interracial marriage went through this same battle.

Bryan Fischer, American Family Association spokestool, saying the First Amendment only applies to Christians:

"I have contended for years that the First Amendment, as given by the Founders, provides religious liberty protections for Christianity only. Most attorney types, befuddled by years of untethered Supreme Court activism, think it covers any and all religions you can name. The results of this expansive but badly misguided understanding of the First Amendment have not been too costly to this point. But with Islam growing in America like a noxious weed, some of the more troublesome aspects of this distorted view of religious liberty are becoming evident, when it comes to things like school curricula, halal food, and Christian evangelism at Muslim street fairs. These problems have been brought into stark relief now by Satanists, who are pressing for exactly the same kind of religious liberty protections the Supreme Court just recognized for Hobby Lobby."

That’s a good Christian there, people. And, of course, quite the storyteller that Freedom of Religion applies to only one faith, even though the First Amendment says nothing about that.

Rick Wiles, certified loon and End Times radio host, on how an Ebola outbreak in the U.S. might be a good thing:

“Now this Ebola epidemic can become a global pandemic and that’s another name for plague. It may be the great attitude adjustment that I believe is coming. Ebola could solve America’s problems with atheism, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, pornography and abortion. If Ebola becomes a global plague, you better make sure the blood of Jesus is upon you..."

How many times have we heard from these so-called “Christians” about how they are being bashed and denied Free Speech and maybe being run out of town on a rail by The Liberals and The Gays and The Gay Friendlies?

And yet I have never once heard anyone associated with the fight for LGBT Rights wish for the death of a single Christian and yet this guy seems to have no problem hoping we all die.

F**kity f**kity f**k f**k f**k.

I Didn't Say It ....

Harvey Fierstein, on Orson Scott Card, writer of Ender's Game:

"The quotes that got me about him weren’t against gay marriage -- he wanted homosexuality criminalized in the United States. That's what he called for. You want me to be tolerant of you wanting to criminalize homosexuality? F--k you on your grave, you piece of s--t."

I loathe the so-called Christians who want me to tolerate their faith while they use their faith to have me declared a criminal for my sexual orientation.

The fact is that Orson Scott Card and his ilk chose their faith; I was born this way.

Johnny Weir, on the suggested boycott of the Winter Olympics in Russia because of their anti-LGBT stance:

"To have a boycott would not only negate the career of some athletes who have only one chance at competing at the Games, but also the over-time shifts an exhausted father takes to make ends meet, or the social acclimatization of a brother who can’t go on spring break because his brother needed another costume, or the mother who works part-time at a job far beneath her, just so she can afford to watch her first born perform for the world. The Olympics are not a political statement, they are a place to let the world shine in peace and let them marvel at their youthful talents. ... I respect the LGBT community full heartedly, but I implore the world not to boycott the Olympic Games because of Russia’s stance on LGBT rights or lack thereof. I beg the gay athletes not to forget their missions and fight for a chance to dazzle the world."

I’m on Team Johnny here.

I want our LGBT athletes, and LGBT ally athletes to go to the games and stand up for the LGBT community and against Putin’s homophobic, intolerant, and even deadly, policies.

Desmond Tutu, Anglican Archbishop and social rights activist, on refusing entrance to Heaven if God is a homophobe: 

"I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place. I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this."

So many folks got their robes in a snit over this quote, but to me, what Tutu is saying is that God isn’t homophobia, and if she was, Tutu might choose a different after-life.

Blake Skjellerup, out speed skater, on the suggested boycott of the Winter Olympics in Russia because of their anti-LGBT stance: 

“For me it’s less about taking a stand and more about just being myself...I have no interest in going back into the closet in Sochi...This is not about defiance. This is me standing up for what I believe in.”

And, as I said, standing up against Putin’s Russia.

John Barrowman, on the vicious hostility he experienced after the announcement of his wedding:

"I don't get it. Some of the comments were outrageously vile. Quoting lines from the Bible. I won't tolerate it. People like that are banned on my Twitter account. I tell them to f**k off...People have a right to their beliefs but it doesn't mean they have to be nasty and deny other people their human rights. The world is not going to change and fall apart because a gay couple got married."

It’s love, people.

It’s a man who found the person with whom he chooses to be married and if you can’t be happy for people in love then you just can’t ever be happy.

Harvey Fierstein, on the suggested boycott of the Winter Olympics in Russia because of their anti-LGBT stance:

"You can’t get them through a U.N. sanction: 'Oh boy, the U.S. is mad at me. I’m shaking all the f--k over.' There’s only one way and that's in the pocketbook. You hurt them in the pocketbook, they shut the f--k up and back the f--k down. ... And Olympic athletes, I understand: You’ve worked your asses off for this for years, but there are still bigger things than you hanging something around your neck. There are bigger things in this world."

I usually agree with Harvey, but I think if we stay away, it’ll just be like the time we boycotted the Moscow Olympics because of something Russia did.

Remember that? Not many folks do; and about the only thing that came of that boycott was that Russia boycotted the LA Olympics in America after that.

Go. Stand tall. Stand proud. Stand out.

Sharon Osbourne, on Justin Bieber:

“I feel really bad for him. There’s this little kid with a huge dream, he’s cute, girls love him, and he wants to be a mean boy, and he’s about as mean as a fuckin’ kitten, and he’s trying to act out. It’s like pissing in a bucket. It’s like, “Oh, we’re the bad boys!” Fuck off! You don’t know what bad is. And I think that he’s lost, I really do. And, at the point he’s at in his career, it’s so dangerous because we’ve seen it all before a million times. Where do you go when you’re a child entertainer and then you want to transition to be a man? Very few make it.”

Sing it, Sharon.

Christian Vincent, out gay Danish actor, on why the struggle for LGBT rights in Russia and around the world matters: 
"I am privileged enough to be able to say [that I'm gay] openly, even publicly without any consequences. This is not something I need to do or something I have to do but I have the right to do it. The value of this right is not to be underestimated. The value of this right is not to be taken for granted. The absence of this right is lethal. If you are one of those who are, as myself, lucky enough to have this right, I merely ask of you to use it. Our brothers and sisters in Russia among many other places need our voice and our support now more than ever...Awareness has started and awareness is hope. And hope is never silent. So I ask of you once again, tell the world it's not okay."

Word.
I hope Russia gets the message.
