As Halloween approaches, the gays on Days of Our Lives become more active, and snicks will bring you a liveblog today.Adele

Adele has given birth to a baby boy, which means her next album will be about getting sprayed while changing a diaper and losing sleep to 4 AM feedings.

The ad rates for American Idol have plummeted with the ratings, coming in at $340K for 30 seconds, while Sunday Night Football soared to $545k. That puts American Idol on par with Modern Family, which rakes in $330k for a commercial.

Discredited gay journalist Johann Hari has put up a ridiculous article at Huffington Post claiming that gays are at the heart of every fascist movement in history, including the Third Reich, which killed tens of thousands of gays.

SynergyIn a country that still won't talk about gun control, we've had another mass shooting that left three dead and four wounded at a spa in Wisconsin, mere miles from the Sikh shooting a few months ago. The suspect was ordered to surrender all of his weapons earlier this week when a restraining order was filed.

Now we know what to get snicks for Christmas! New Jem dolls will be released celebrating the original rocker with a double life. They're expensive though, so we'll be passing the hat.

Surprising no one, Paranormal Activity won the weekend box office, with $30 million, Argo taking the second spot, then Alex Cross limping into third despite the draw of Tyler Perry.

The BBC has compiled a new list of "Britishisms" that are creeping into the American lexicon, from "shag" to "chav." I admit, many have creeped into my vocabulary.Louis CK

I was pleasantly surprised with Bruno Mars hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, so maybe another unconventional choice in Louis CK will please when it returns November 3.

About the time you lose faith in humanity on the internet, something nice happens, like the hijacking of the hashtag #SignsYoSonIsGay to make it affirming instead of the derogatory beginning it had.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've watched the video of a pastor in Springfield, Missouri talking about why an ordinance for GLBT rights shouldn't pass, with the surprise ending. Now the pastor speaks about becoming an overnight sensation two months later, which seems to be about the amount of time it took the people in the room to get the joke.

Maggie GallagherAfter some buzz that Mitt Romney might have softened on the federal marriage amendment, it comes out that not only is he still against marriage equality, but pretty much any federal recognition of gay rights, including hospital visitation, which he calls a benefit, not a right.

Notre Dame is hosting a debate on marriage equality between Maggie Gallagher and activist John Corvino, but warns on the website that the event includes "Mature or adult content." While they're probably referring to the Catholic view that everything gay is about sex, I'm inclined to agree with them, because I wouldn't want children's minds exposed to Maggie's point of view.

 Saturday Night Live finally had a great sketch this weekend with Bruno Mars saving Pandora Radio when the vocal tracks cut out. Thanks to music licensing rights, that clip will never appear online for me to share with you, so we'll have to make do with the return of Stefon, telling you what's hot in New York City for Halloween. I used to hate Stefon, but he's grown on me.

 

Supposedly, Salman Rushdie's Midnight Children was unfilmable, but someone must have found a way, because here's a trailer for the movie about a war torn country and a young hero who rises. At least that's what I got out of the trailer.

 

David Blankenhorn was a key witness in the Prop 8 trial against marriage equality. Now he's had a change of heart and is speaking out in opposition to the constitutional amendment in Minnesota.

 

OraQuick is the new home HIV test. After many trips to the doctor, and waiting for results, I can't imagine the simplicity of testing at home, or the impatience of waiting to see if the little line appears. The test looks to be quite simple to use from this video, and knowing can save not only your own life, but others you may come in contact with. Whether it's this test at home, or a clinic, or your doctor, please get tested.

 

They've released a new teaser for Iron Man 3 in advance of the full trailer on October 23rd. There's not a lot here, other than Tony looking handsome, some colorful new armor, and Pepper looking like she doesn't get paid enough to be associated with Tony Stark.

 

It was probably inevitable that someone would parody the Paranomal Activity movies, and it may as well be Marlon Wayans with The Haunted House. This is slightly NSFW.

Last night, Comedy Central aired Night of Too Many Stars to benefit autism research. As part of the fundraiser, Nick Offerman committed to strip if enough money was donated to the cause, and gives us a little taste of what's to come. A very little taste.
