Sony Pictures boss Amy Pascal was honored at the LA Gay & Lesbian Center last night, and gave a lengthy speech asking Hollywood to change the way they depict gay characters: “How about next time, when any of us are reading a script and it says words like fag, or faggot – homo – dyke – take a pencil and just cross it out." There's much more at the link.

When I saw this headline, Bully Ray Uses Homophobic Slurs; Dixie Carter Responds, I admit I was taken aback. Not because a pro wrestler used gay slurs ... but "Dixie Carter responds?" From beyond the grave? Turns out it's a different Dixie Carter. Phew! But oh yeah, the wrestler "apologized," so that's that.

Alan Ritchson will play Raphael in the reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Here he is from Blue Mountain State, learning the secret of the ooze.

Continuing the Top 50 Movie Songs of The 80's! A #19 is "Somewhere Out There" by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram, from Am American Tail.

Linda scored her highest charting single of the 80's (tied with "Don't Know Much,") with this gorgeous duet with James Ingram, and it was one of the first meldings of animated film with top 40 success (something Disney would perfect years later.) "Somewhere Out There" entered the chart on December 20th, 1986, and peaked at #2 on March 14th. Monday's clue - "Let em say we're crazy, I don't care about that."
