Robbie Amellis going to play the lead in the CW pilot Tomorrow People, 
based on the British series about a group that finds itself to be the next stage of human evolution with powers.
Which celebrities think the gays love them, and which ones of them are completely deluded? I actually agree with a lot of this list, because, well, Katy Perry. Yes, I hold grudges.
With all the talk lately about outlawing cats because they're an environmental terror (no, I am not funding this research), what animal would make a good substitute for cats as pets? It turns out raccoons and opossums are largely out, but skunks (once descented) are a viable option
Jeremy Jordanhas signed up for the lead in the movie musical The Last 5 Years. He and Anna Kendrick will play a couple whose relationship unfolds, but the narrative runs from their meeting from his point of view, and from the end of 
their relationship from hers.
Former First Lady Laura Bush will get her wish and be removed from the marriage equality ad being run all over cable television right now. While I think it's disgusting that she's trying to run from her public statements, I'm amused that the kerfuffle probably drew more attention to the campaign that it might have gotten otherwise.
The AP Stylebook has decided that if people are husband and wife, husband and husband, or wife and wife, they get to have those terms used about them in the news. The Stylebook, which is the general arbiter of how things are written across journalism, says that recent guidance that upset activists came from AP management, not the official stylebook. "The AP has never had a Stylebook entry on the question of the usage of husband and wife. All the previous conversation was in the absence of such a formal entry. This lays down clear and simple usage. After reviewing existing practice, we are formalizing 'husband, wife' as an entry."
Prop 8 opponents have filed their brief with the Supreme Court. At 64 pages long, there's a lot in there, but most of it boils down to "The unmistakable purpose and effect of Proposition 8 is to stigmatize gay men and lesbians—and them alone—and enshrine in California's Constitution that they are 'unequal to everyone else.'"
Ambassador John Huntsman says that if the Republican Party wants to stay relevant, they have to embrace marriage equality. "Today we have an opportunity to do more: conservatives should start to lead again and push their states to join the nine others that allow all their citizens to marry. I’ve been married for 29 years. My marriage has been the greatest joy of my life. There is nothing conservative about denying other Americans the ability to forge that same relationship with the person they love."
Boy George may have a new body, but he's got the same "don't eff with me attitude" he's always had, getting in a Twitter feud withOne Direction, blocking their energetic fans, and generally bemoaning the lack of respect of the younger generation when one of the band wouldn't stop for a picture with his niece.
Tim Tebowhas canceled his appearance at the anti-gay, anti-Islam First Baptist Dallas megachurch. The pastor says Tebow will reschedule later, but Tebow says 'cancel'."
Nielsen is officially expanding their ratings measurement to include online viewing, which networks say is greatly underselling their viewership, and their ad rates. There are a lot of caveats to the whole thing when it starts this fall – no tablets, only in homes that at least own a television, and the ads online have to match broadcast ads, but it's a start.
Speaking of new ways of doing rankings, now that Billboard is including YouTube views in chart measurements, that means Baauer's"Harlem Shake"is your new #1 song this week. I can't help but think I contributed to that somehow, and I'm sorry.
Northeast School Corp. in Indiana has suspended a teacher, believed to be Diana Medley, who said that gay kids don't have a purpose on this earth. He also stated that security was being beefed up at some schools due to "aggressive" email messages sent to the school and teacher.
The Thomson Reuters news organization is applauding the British government's work towards marriage equality. "Many leading companies – many of whom are our global clients – take active positions in supporting marriage equality. We are pleased to join them. Supporting this legislation is consistent with our diversity and inclusion policies and agenda, and positions us well in the eyes of our people – current and prospective – as well as the LGBT community." I love that there is no attempt at "fair and balanced" in their support at the corporate level.
We'll be having a liveblog of Days of Our Lives today, now that snicks has been discharged from the AfterElton infirmary. I assume he's feeling better, but there was that nurse that ran out screaming earlier...
This is my last Meme until Tuesday, as I'm off to the LGBT Media Convening in Philadelphia. I'll get to reconnect with friends at other publications, make some new connections, meet a couple of my heroes, Cleve Jones and David Mixner, and finally meet AfterEllen's Trish Bendix face to face after all these years. I'll be tweeting with the rest of them using #LGBTMedia13 from my personal account, and occasionally the AfterElton account all weekend. If you're in Philly, there's a reader meetup Saturday night 9-11 at Tavern on Camac, please come by and say hello.
Eddie McClintock poses with Reba on the set of Malibu Country in a shirt for a trapeze school - catch me, Eddie!
Who thinks Parker Young should have compared abs with the brunette?
Mental note: Standing next to Chris Colfer may feel good, but probably makes you look older than you are
Meet Terri and Terry. Terri is the shorter head, played by Sean Hayes
As I mentioned on Tumblr, and Dennis mentioned in Briefs, Jon Oliver is all too aware of the slash that's written about The Daily Show, and first up, he wants you to know that's racist. Second, when does he get to join in? Still, it was awesome that his small role is what struck him, while taking the time to praise the actual writing, because he could have easily taken a different path instead of showing respect (and envy).
In this slightly NSFW interview, Adam Levine suggests a question for the interviewer to bring up with Blake Shelton.
According to the 700 Club, Satan is behind same sex marriage. Which is fine with me, because I figure he throws a great reception. And this guy has no idea just how well two men's bodies can go together. Just no idea.
Jimmy Kimmel appears to be planning a sequel to Movies: The Movie that he ran after last year's Oscar telecast. In this teaser, Bradley Cooper appears to be mesmerized by a particularly hunky zombie.
While this clip of an iguana, a dog and a slew of hairless cats is set to air on Animal Planet's Too Cute, I have to say that anyone that thinks hairless cats are cute should seriously consider revising their definition of the word.
NASA has put out this enhanced footage of a massive solar flare that happened last July. It's a bit difficult to imagine the scale of the eruption, but those loops are bigger than three earths, proving just how insignificant we are.
Are you human? With this test, you can prove it and certify it to that ex-boyfriend who swore that you weren't.
The To This Day Project is just something you need to sit and watch quietly. Shane Coyczan was bullied as a child, and wrote a poem, then asked the internet to submit 20 second animated clips for the the poem, resulting in something that's truly amazing to sit and watch.
