In a series of spoilers about Glee, TV Line mentions the "Naked" episode (to air January 31). “Naked,” focuses 
on the guys as they get involved in 'a little fundraiser fun for the glee club,' Tobin teased. 'It’s very much about the boys getting buff and tanned and bronzed…. Chord [Overstreet, as Sam] really spearheads the ‘beefcake’ number, and it’s pretty hilarious.'"
The Marines have issued a directive to all bases that social clubs, like spouses clubs, that use military facilities must allow spouses of same-sex couples to join. The Marines are requiring it under rules that prohibit gender discrimination, since the gender of the spouse is what's at question. This follows a case when a same-sex spouse was denied membership in the military spouses group at Ft. Bragg. The Pentagon is yet to issue rules that apply to all services, so kudos to the Marines for stepping out smartly.
The White House is standing by the nomination of Chuck Hagel for Defense Secretary despite concerns about his anti-gay comments about Ambassador Hormel. The real problem is that those comments were just the tip of the anti-gay iceberg for Hagel.
While the stars themselves will of course be drinking at the Golden Globes Sunday, making it the most entertaining awards show of the season, Tina Fey and Amy Poehlerhave come up with a drinking game for those of us at home, and you need to read it now, because you're going to need to make a run to the liquor store to stock up.
A state Rep in Texas wants to require that strippers obtain licenses from the state – and wear them while performing. Who wants to see a stripper with a license dangling from their g-string?
After a petition on the White House website to deport Piers Morgan for his views on gun control reached over 100,000 signatures, the White House responded, and got it very, very right. "Let’s not let arguments over the Constitution’s Second Amendment violate the spirit of its First. President Obama believes that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. However, the Constitution not only guarantees an individual right to bear arms, but also enshrines the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press -- fundamental principles that are essential to our democracy."
Do we need to create a program in this country for those who survived the worst days of the AIDS plague, treating them for depression and related issues much like the Veterans Administration tends to the needs of our soldiers with PTSD? It's an interesting thought.
Nicholas Hoult is excited to film a new X-Men film, but he's not excited about getting back into that Beast makeup. "It was baking hot. I lost so much water weight just sweating. I could never cool down. I would nearly pass out quite often from the heat in that thing. [The Warm Bodies] makeup was a treat compared to that." Personally, I think it's a bit of a crime to cover up someone so pretty.
FX says it has no idea what to expect, or even who to expect (other than Jessica Lange) for the third season ofAmerican Horror Story. “That is such an auteur work on Ryan [Murphy]‘s part. He tells me what he’s going to do and I say, ‘Great!’” Personally, I think a lot of Ryan Murphy's work could be improved by someone saying "No!" to him every once in a while.
Take some time to read the diary of Jackson Carter, the openly gay contestant on The Biggest Loser this season. He's a smart kid. When someone asked him what an openly gay contest would be like on the show, he responded "A lot like having an openly straight contestant."
Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, and James Taylorare set to perform at the inauguration for President Obama next month. Beyonce will tackle the national anthem, while Clarkson takes over for Aretha Franklin on "My Country Tis of Thee."
A Swiss Court has absolved a farmer of a 655-year-old debt to the Catholic Church. An ancestor, convicted of murder, agreed to provide a lamp for the church and to provide oil for it for all eternity, and the family has for 655 years. But when the church set to legally register the debt, a court said that due to reforms in the legal system in the 1800s, the debt no longer applied.
Former NFL player Wade Davis says he's aware of active gay players in the NFL and the NBA, and most likely their teammates are aware, but silent on the issue. The players choose to live a single life with the team, and not bring their partners to events, but the mere absence of partners is an indicator to the team. The whole interview is an interesting read, because I found myself getting quite angry with Davis at points, only to have it subside with thought.
Tina Feymay sign on to star inThe Muppets 2, which makes sense, as I've always felt she was part Muppet anyway.
It's very worth looking at the tour photographs that Jake Shears uploaded for the Scissor Sisters, but be warned, some may be NSFW.
According to Stephen Soderbergh, during the filming of Magic Mike, an extra got a little personal with Matthew McConaughey. "While we were shooting Matthew's script sequence, one very impassioned woman extra pulled his G-string off and tried to stick her finger up his butt. And when I remembered that, I thought, You know, where I come from, you stand up for a guy who brings that kind of game to your movie."
These costumes for Catching Fire are just bad. Like 1990s Sci-Fi movie bad, before they changed to SyFy
I never had any doubt that Gareth Thomas could handle lifts easily with his body
For some eye candy, here's my future ex-husband Russell Tovey with David Gandy at the Katie Eary show
This is new French singer Kentö - keep this picture in your mind for the next page
In regards to that picture of Kentö on the previous page - he's new, and he's going to be big. He's not just a breathtakingly beautiful twink, the boy has pipes, and some talented backers, with Frankmusik writing and producing his debut single "Complicated." Sit back, crank up the speakers, and enjoy his big voice while you remember the hot dude singing it.
The AHL Peoria Rivermen are the latest team to join the You Can Play Project supporting GLBT athletes. Unlike some of the videos that have come out of sports teams, these guys seem like they may have read their lines before they recited them. The main reason I'm happy the NHL has ended their lockout is so that the You Can Play Project can ramp up to speed this year and continue to make an impact for GLBT athletes in all sports.
SyFy's new multiplatform project Defiance has a new trailer, showing the earth after years of a war between the species. The scope seems big, and I think it's about time that SyFy got back to a show that actually has space ships and aliens.
The Stark children from Game of Thrones have gotten together to perform the theme song again, but since they're older now, they've taken an edgier turn and decided to beat box the song.
Of the coast of Dana Pointe, which is a truly beautiful part of California, a whale watching boat became engulfed in a stampede of dolphins. Often referred to as a superpod, it's sight to behold, and fortunately the boat was equipped with underwater cameras to truly capture the scope of nature on display.
On the premiere of the new earlier Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy gave us the new edition of Celebrities Reading Tweets, generally tweets that are less than kind. Tom Arnold takes it all in stride, while Anderson Cooper gets sassy.
I remain fascinated by Warm Bodies, the zombie love story starring Nicholas Hoult. But what I had never paid attention to was that Dave Franco was also in the movie as an overserious leader of a band of survivors, and I'll watch pretty much anything that has Dave Franco. Except 21 Jump Street. I had to turn that off after about 30 minutes.
