Matt Bomer says it was fantastic to get to film the finale of White Collar
on the top of the Empire State building, but there are limits. "That was a dream come true — looking over all of Manhattan and Brooklyn was unbelievable. At 5 in the morning it was brilliant; by 3 in the afternoon I was done. I’m not terribly acrophobic, but after about 10 hours up there, I was definitely ready to come down.”
Michelle Shocked has released an apology of sorts for her "God Hates Fags" rant, but mostly says everybody misunderstood what she meant. "I don't always express myself as clearly as I should. But don't believe everything you read on Facebook or Twitter. My view of homosexuality has changed not one iota. I judge not. And my statement equating repeal of Prop 8 with the coming of the End Times was neither literal nor ironic: it was a description of how some folks – not me – feel about gay marriage."
Of course, the audio recording doesn't really back up her explanation of events.

The New York Timessays that NBC is movingThe Tonight Show to New York and replacing Jay Leno with Jimmy Fallon by the fall of 2014. While rumors have been swirling, one clincher in the report was a construction notice to build a new Tonight Show studio in Rockefeller Center. Leno is in the middle of a very public feud with NBC executives about making jokes about the network's low ratings.
The headline reads "I am happy enough with my civil partnership" according to EastEnders' John Partridge. But when you delve into the article, the truth about the quote is a lot sweeter, because he was asked about converting his existing civil partnership in to a marriage. “We are civil partners and that’s a tough one. When people ask that, I say: ‘I am already married.' That’s why we got civil partnered. The question undermines what we’ve already done."
Since the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards will featureDarren Criss, Josh Hutcherson, Perks of Being a Wallflower and more local favorites, join me on Twitter Saturday night while I try and snark in a kid-friendly way.
Evidently the new season of Mad Men takes place in the 1960s era that featured snug trousers for men, necessitating Jon Hammto wear underwear to hide his famously large trouser snake, plus some of the artwork actually had to be Photoshopped to smooth things out. Of course AMC denies giving Don Draper the Ken Doll treatment, but we shall see when it airs.
Colombian model Natalia Paris says that the hormones in chicken used to promote growth are what is making so many kids gay. And comments like that are why people think that models are dumb.
What is "gay culture" in 2013? Do we know? I know I bristle when I hear someone say "I just don't fit into gay culture" because that means they have a really narrow view of gay culture. Sure, in the past, we had some fairly obvious defining characteristics, and no one knows that better thanA Place At the Table author Bruce Bawer, but even he wonders if you can define us under current mainstream 
conditions.

Meanwhile, 46% of them owned guns, actually own a total of 258 guns. ""Let me ask you something. If you were rich and famous and your salary was in the newspaper every week, would you worry about your wife and kids? That's why I have guns."

The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin is widely acknowledged to be one of the best movie houses in the country. They're also famous for their zero tolerance policy on cell phones. A couple of years ago, when a woman left them a nasty, vulgar voicemail complaining about being kicked out for checking her phone, they put it online. Trying to be proactive, they got James Franco to record a vulgar PSA about turning off your devices and enjoying what the theater has to offer.
Ahh. Sleep. We don't get enough of it. And we tend to hit the snooze button. Even me, which is weird, because I tend to wake up 30 minutes before the alarm, and just lay there, and then still hit the snooze button because even though I've been awake forever, I don't want to get out of bed. But is the snooze button making you more tired?
Star Wars Days don't just happen at Walt Disney World in Orlando to mask Gay Days, they happen at all the parks around the world. Well, Disneyland Tokyo might have to cancel this year, because it seems that Darth Vader can't find the park. And he's looked positively everywhere.
MinusIQ claims to have a pill that can take points off your IQ. Why would you want this? Basically because all of the idiots around you are happier than you are, because they don't realize they're surrounded by idiots because they are idiots. Side effects include illogical hatred of anyone who isn't just like you, from the wealthy to the gay.
You may want to grab a tissue depending how much you want the white picket fence, husband, and the 2.5 kids (thankfully I'm immune). Singer-songwriter Scott Alan wrote "Nothing More" about just that subject, because he was inspired by what David Burtka (and Neil Patrick Harris by extension) have, a dream that just a generation ago really wasn't considered practical for gay men. After a heartfelt introduction of why he wrote the song, Alan invites Burtka up to the stage to sing about that perfect life, that American Dream that has nothing to do with money and fame.
As far as I can tell, GI Joe Retaliation is about ninjas, and ninjas have perfect timing, perfect cuts, and perfect aim. Unless you're a red shirt ninja, then you'll fair just about as well as your wardrobe partners from Star Trek.
A friend sent me the trailer from The Philosophers. It's a unique concept with 20 students given a final assignment to survive a nuclear apocalypse in a bunker, but the bunker is only built for 10. Who do they choose to live, and how? The scenario resets over and over, and the decisions they make may surprise you. And I think I saw two boys snogging at one point.
Cats cannot be trusted, because they will eventually even turn on each other.
