In the new issue of Gay Times, Jonathan KnightJonathan Knighttalks about being "outed" by Tiffany in 2011 for the first time in detail. And he finds the whole thing ridiculous. "I felt stupid having to make a public statement. Even when the band got back together in 2008, New Kids fans knew I was gay. Everyone did." Uh, no. Not everyone, Jonathan. But he saves the harsh words for Perez Hilton, who had been chasing him ever since an ex had sold private pictures to the National Enquirer. "Perez tried to out me many times and I hate that guy for doing that. I was already gay and living a gay lifestyle but he wanted me to talk about it. Why? My brother and the rest of the guys don't go on interviews saying 'I'm straight" etc. so why do I need to just because I'm gay? People like him want me to talk about it to make themselves feel better. They think 'I'm gay so I want to make sure everybody knows I'm not the only one out there.' I hate that." Um…

When former Phoenix Suns executive Rick Welts announced he was gay, he had the backing of the NBA, the team, and Nike, who wanted him to deliver a message to out athletes. “They made it clear to me Nike would embrace it. The player who does it, they’re going to be amazed at the additional opportunities that are put on the table, not the ones that are taken off.” Nike Chairman Phil Knightsaid this weekend at The Masters that a gay athlete would not be an issue for Nike's sponsorship. “If it was the right athlete at the right time. That’s what the game Happy Endingshas always been about for us. It doesn’t matter if the athlete is gay or not.”

The ratings for Happy Endingstook a tumble from last week's high, dipping to a .8 for the first episode, and a .6 for the second. I hope that's enough for USA to rescue them.

A gay man in West Hollywood is brain dead from a deadly meningitis infection. Tests are underway to see if it's the same strain that has caused health officials in New York City to encourage vaccinations for gay men.

France is speeding up finalizing their marriage equality and adoption bill, with a final vote likely Wednesday. Opponents are screaming about the tactic, warning the government is headed towards "a violent confrontation with the French people."

Did the Missouri hospital accused of violently handcuffing the partner of a gay man admit to violating federal Medicare guidelines in their statement defending their actions? It sure looks like it.

Surprising no one, the Republican National Committee unanimously affirmed their opposition to marriage equality.Jackee harry

Which may have had something to do with social conservatives like Tony Perkinstelling their followers to stop giving any money to the party, and instead donate to individual candidates willing to keep up the social wars.

In a casting decision that I didn't see coming, Jackée Harryhas joined the cast ofGirl Meets World, bringing about a reunion of TGIF worlds that never met.

A new study says that southerners aren't actually more obese than the rest of the country, they're just more likely to be honest about themselves than other regions. The title for the most obese actually goes to the West North Central, places like Minnesota, Kansas, and the Dakotas, where 41% of the population is obese, compared to 31% in the south.

Kristen ChenowethKristen Chenowethhas joined the untitledMatthew Broderick comedy at CBS. She'll be playing recent widower Broderick's judgmental sister who works at a nice restaurant. Let's be honest, nobody delivers sweet judgment like Chenoweth, and if there isn't a musical aspect to this show (singing waitresses!), there is something seriously wrong with the world.

GLAADis really bringing the starpower for their Los Angeles awards show honoring President Bill Clinton. Currently on the guest list are Leonardo Di Caprio, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Drew Barrymore, Tobey McGuire, Elle Fanning, Matt Bomer, Alex Pettyfer, Betty White, Johnny Galecki and Ellen Barkin.

Portia de Rossi says that she and Ellen DeGenereswill never have children. “There comes some pressure in your mid-30s, and you think, ‘Am I going to have kids so I don’t miss out on something that other people really seem to love? Or is it that I really genuinely want to do this with my whole heart? I didn’t feel that my response was ‘yes’ to the latter. You have to really want to have kids, and neither of us did. So it’s just going to be me and Ellen and no babies — but we’re the best of friends and married life is blissful, it really is.”

Now You See Me is the magician heist film that I can't seem to wrap my head around. Sure, it's about illusion, but some of this stuff seems either magic or Bond-level technology. What are they up to?

 

Bill O'Reilly had Rick Santorum on his show to talk about his temporarily canceled speech to a high school, and how awful it is that people who oppose marriage equality are so persecuted. It's just terrible for them, when they're working so hard to oppress a minority on a fact that won't affect them in the slightest. Except Santorum says that marriage equality is going to have a negative effect on straight marriage, and O'Reilly lets him say it without the slightest bit of challenge. I guess he got his new Q ratings in from the "Bible thumping" comment.

 

It may not be something we discuss, and we may all cringe when we see it done poorly, but let's face it guys, we all have to adjust our balls on occasion, and this video is a humorous look at how you can do it without looking like you have jock itch. Personally, I think with a good choice in underwear, it's mostly unnecessary, but for those days you go commando, here are some tricks you can use.

 

Matt R. Salmon, the son of Rep. Salmon, sat down with Anderson Cooper to talk about his relationship with his parents, and how he resolved to put the family before politics. One of the most telling bits in there is him talking about supporting his family even when he disagrees with them. How are your parents supporting you, Matt, when they're writing constitutional amendments banning your future marriage? And asking you to proof read them?

 

When the House of Mouse bought Lucas Film, we knew there would be some changes, including shuttering the video game division. But in this parody, we get to see just how far corporate synergy might go in Episode VII. I have to admit, this is pretty clever, and the new Luke Skywalker is kind of hot.

 

Psy has released the video for his new song, "Gentleman" in which he does some pretty un-gentlemanly things to the ladies. I don't think he's going to strike gold with this song like he did with "Gangham Style."

 

In this new clip from The Bling Ring, Emma Watson sheds the rest of her good girl image from Harry Potter and tries her hand at pole dancing in a house she's robbing. Which makes me wonder hw many Hollywood homes have a stripper pole. Dare I hope for Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka's bedroom?

 

Richard the Cat loves spring cleaning. Not that he helps. but it does preoccupy the humans in his life so that he can take over the backyard and make it his own private kingdom. First the backyard, next the world!

 

This ad for the Renault Publicite showcases a premium feature call "Va Va Voum" which certainly ads some life to the daily commute. This video is labeled "For the Ladies" in obvious reference to the shirtless hunks that appear, and make me assume that there's a version "For the Guys." Personally, I think they should have left those labels off of them, and just let the people who enjoy shirtless me enjoy them. Toyota did that in their "Better" commercial to great effect.
