We'll be liveblogging Days of Our Lives today, as the contestants of The Amazing Gay Race navigate the roadblock of the pregnant beard.
Something of note in this week's episode of Glee: despite saying in the past they had no plans to introduce the man that Blaine cheated on Kurt with, we'll be meeting him when Blaine takes a visit to Dalton. I expect death threats on Twitter to the actor, though of course I don't condone them.
Shameless is definitely getting more gay this season. Not only do we have Bradley Whitford as a gay man on the show, Mike Doyle and Chris Butlerwill be joining as a gay couple whose lives become linked to the Gallaghers in a way that even Aussiello won't spoil.
Some stores, including the Benetton chain, have installed mannequins that have eyes in them, wired back to the office to spy on customers and see their reaction to the clothing. Stores have then started programming to trends, like one that noticed a large number of Asian shoppers after 4PM and started stationing Chinese speaking staff by the entrance at that time. Does anyone else find this incredibly creepy?
The first extended trailer for The Man of Steelwill screen beforeThe Hobbit in December, letting us see just how gritty they've made Superman.
A judge has ruled that Modern Family star Ariel Winterwas emotionally abused by her mother, but the charges of physical abuse are inconclusive. Ariel is currently under the guardianship of her sister.
Twenty two years ago, a struggling Judd Apatowwrote a spec script forThe Simpsons about Homer being hypnotized to believe he's a child and becoming Bart's best friend. Now, we have confirmation that the episode is being shot, all these years later.
If you've been online much this week, you've seen a White House photo of President Obama and Mykala Maroney
making the "not impressed" face that became a meme during the Olympics. President Obama has been cropped out and inserted into many other situations, just like Mykala was this summer. Now White House lawyers are warning that photographs on the White House Flickr feed may not be modified in any way, which is interesting, since all government works are automatically in the public domain.
Penn State, perhaps hyper-sensitive to anything that involves the allegation of underage sex, has removed an image of Elmo receiving a Penn State shirt in the wake of allegations surround Kevin Clash.
In an unearthed letter to his mother, from 1935, Sigmund Freud wrote "Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation; it cannot be classified as an illness; we consider it to be a variation of the sexual function, produced by a certain arrest of sexual development. Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals, several of the greatest men among them. (Plato, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, etc). It is a great injustice to persecute homosexuality as a crime - and a cruelty, too."
Greg Louganis is set to be a judge, and possibly a coach, in ABC's Celebrity Splash diving competition. And he has an agenda. "Usually you only see diving once every four years. This is a sport the USA used to dominate. The state of diving today is that the entire world is chasing China. This [show] is so wonderful for diving, a great way to show kids a sport that they may not have thought about. To get young people involved, that's what we need to be competitive on a world stage."
In the list of shows that I didn't know existed, but am suddenly incredibly excited about, SyFy is bringing usRobot Combat League. Before you write it off like other robot fight shows, this show uses giant humanoid robots, controlled by a human much like Real Steel. They smash each other as hydraulic fluid sprays and sparks fly. It's the giant version of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots you always dreamed of as a child.
Jake Shears and his "husbro" Chris Moukarbel take in a showing of Wreck-It Ralph
Dave Salmoni stopped by Buzzfeed with a baby lion, a warthog, and a mandaril. We never get that at the AfterElton offices

John Barrowman definitely has an oral fixation
Anderson Cooper is capable of being sassy and well researched, even with bombs falling around him
Do you find Evil Spock sexy?
Jesse Tyler Ferguson met up with Kelly Clarkson on Ellen
Steam Room Stories is back with a NSFW and definitely politically incorrect take on gaydar, and what straight guys might do to set off a gay man's gaydar. It mostly plays on tired stereotypes, but somehow I found it funny. I also find that my gaydar is pretty much useless with much of the younger generation, so maybe they don't read The List.
The first trailer is out for Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Killer starring Nicholas Hoult, and I don't think this is quite what I was expecting. Sure, it's the classic story, but blown up to an epic quest, with more giants, a king, and a whole company of knights. I had a bit of a hard time when the silly humor hits after so much that looks like an action movie. This is one that will either work really well, or totally bomb.
On the other end of the spectrum is a fairly generic looking animated movie called Epic, which looks to have trouble living up to the name. The voice cast is pretty stellar, with Amanda Seyfried, Beyonce, Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson, Jason Sudeikis and Steven Tyler, but there's just not an emotional hook to the idea that there is a secret world right under our noses.
AFER wants to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving from all the same sex couples that they've worked with to bring marriage equality across the United States. It's an excellent reminder of our families at this time of year.
But Buzzfeed knows that Thanksgiving is all about the food, and wants to provide you with some dos and don'ts for the holiday table. I have to admit, the don'ts look like a lot more fun, if a bit messy.
This may be the strangest way to sell underwear, or at least that's what I thought until I paused to consider how much happier my junk is in undies that have a real pouch to accommodate all my bits.
Xtra caught up with Canadian Football League's Joe Epelle and Mike Bradwell to talk about homophobia in sport, whether they felt a gay player would be welcome in the league, and how they respond to questions from GLBT youth when they visit schools.
Bill O'Reilly can claim he's not lamenting all he wants, but when he's mourning the loss of a fictional, idealized 1950s sitcom family as a norm, it's hard to take him seriously, and Jon Stewart didn't, which really bothered O'Reilly. And of course, the gays wanting marriage equality is part of what's to blame.
