snicks will be liveblogging Days of Our Lives today, and you don't want to miss what happens. 
The New Normal continues to up the beefcake quotient, already having added Matt Bomer to a future episode, they've now tappedMark Consuelos and John Stamos for guest spots on the show.
There still seems to be some question about the conscience clause added to the National Defense Appropriations Bill. Some are calling it a license to bully, but others say it simply allows an out for soldiers while maintaining the rules against actions and speech. Generally speaking, if a law if worded that poorly, it will be implemented inconsistently.
A same-sex kiss-in outside the Russian parliament was broken up by police.
Congratulations to hot little nerd Chris Hardwick, whose show The Nerdisthas been picked up for a full season on BBC America.
The Muppets have a long history of celebrating Christmas, from their show to parades to A Muppet Christmas Carol, and Vulture has assembled the best moments to help you go from Scrooge to, well, Scrooge at the end of the movie.
NASA has unveiled a new space suit for astronauts that looks remarkably like Buzz Lightyear, down to the color scheme. My favorite line from the write up is "Apparently, the Z-1 Prototype Spacesuit and Portable Life Support System 2.0 adds a new rear entry-point." Give me a break, I'm operating on very little sleep here.
Lawyers are saying that under the current marriage equality proposal in the UK, gays will be denied access to existing divorce law under terms of adultery, because adultery is defined as sex between a man and a woman. The lawyers think a fascinating test case would be a straight couple complaining that they can be divorced for adultery when a gay couple couldn't.
The National Film Registry has released a list of films that will be preserved for posterity, including The Times of Harvey Milk.
A new study says that the larger a man's penis is, the more likely he is to have unprotected sex due to limited access to larger condoms. Most condoms distributed by health organizations are regular size, leaving the gifted among us to fend for themselves.
Chris Pratt brought his own Guys With iPhones photo for his appearance on Conan to support Zero Dark Thirty to show how he had to beef up to play the role. He's evidently gained 30 lbs since in order to play another role, but you have to admit, hot guy got even hotter for a while there.
Going for the underwear shot instead of just shirtless may have been bragging, but I ain't mad
Gareth Thomas pops in on his panto costar Joel Harper Jackson. Evidently popped collars are back
I really can't wait for the beefcake that is Spartacus to come back
The Happy Endings cast now exists as paper dolls you can play dress up with. Is anyone besides me disappointed the Max doll comes pre-dressed? All six main cast members are currently available for whatever sick games you may want to play with them.
Dave's doll has a v-neck tanline
Doesn't Tyler Posey know that that leg he has his hand on belongs to Tyler Hoechlin? Sterek!
If the world does come to an end on December 21, the most important thing in your life is of course what your favorite celebrities will be doing on their last day on earth. While I appreciate the practicality of Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Andrew Rannells, I think I personally would prefer Michael Buble or Wendy Williams ideas.
This raw commentary of "Michael Caine" on A Muppet Christmas Carol may be one of the funniest (NSFW) things I've watched in a long time. He just keeps spinning up new stories, weird perversions and screwy anecdotes.
I don't actually watch Girls on HBO, because I like my television and would hate to destroy it by throwing my iPad through the screen. But the men of Girls sat down to talk about their character arcs this season, and I can't help but notice that all the straight guys are talking about love, and Andrew Rannells' gay character is talking about doing lots of cocaine. Maybe it fits, maybe it doesn't.
Remember that short about people addicted to Facebook likes? Well, there is a new, incredibly NSFW short from them called Woof which appears to be about that weird line with straight guys where the bro actions cross over into homoerotic territory. I found it a bit grating, but if it gets on your nerves, just hit mute and enjoy the guys.
Pain & Gain is the new action comedy about weightlifters getting caught up in a crime spree that stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson. I saw some of the action bits, but I can't say that I saw anything that I would call comedy. Again, if you don't like it, just mute it and watch the beefy guys lift weights. I do it all the time with headphones at the gym.
Hockey belongs to Canada, and don't you ever try and take that away. Also, cute men, which seems to have been a selection criteria for the videos today, however subconsciously.
Alan Cumming dropped by Wendy Williams to talk about his new movie Any Day Now, but mostly they talked about his fashion, his husband, and if he wants children. There's something very simple and open about Cumming that I find terribly appealing.
Not content to plot to kill all humans, cats have another enemy, your inkjet printer. And they won't rest until they destroy it. Well, maybe just a quick nap in a sunbeam, but then it's war.
