Happy Friday Everyone. See you Monday. Here is a pic of Neil Haskell from Last Season's So You Think You Can Dance. Look at the Chest.. Legs.. and Face.. HOT!

DEFINATELY, LESBIANS ARE BACK ON GREY'S ANATOMY THIS FALL

For all the lesbians out there, looks like the coupling of Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Dr. Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith) is still on. Creator, Shonda Rhimes has confirmed that the two will remain in a couple-like relationship when Grey's starts this fall.

During the annual Television Critics Association press tour last week, Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes was questioned by reporters about various aspects of the show and its upcoming season, including the potential romantic relationship between Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Dr. Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith).

Her answers, while vague on plot details, nonetheless confirm that there will be a romantic relationship of some sort between Callie and Erica.

“We have a really interesting, wonderful, funny way of laying out the story of Callie and Erica that I’m pretty excited about, that I feel like is not necessarily your typical — if there can be a typical— your typical way of dealing with the storyline,” Rhimes told reporters. [SOURCE]

I knew Dr. Hahn was a lesbian when she was on the show for brief appearances throughout the previous seasons. I just had this hunch. Well i am excited to see some gay representation on the show. The one episode with the two gay soldiers was amazing. Their Kiss scene was the best ever for a T.V. show in my opinion.

BECKHAM ASSISTS THE MLS ALL STAR TEAM TO VICTORY!

David Beckham starred in the MLS All Star game here in my city, Toronto. Woot Woot. The All Star team beat out England's West Ham 3-2.

David had an assist in the game and of the game he said, "I'd read about the last five years not losing so I was kind of nervous and hoping that we would win. As soon as we started I knew we were capable of winning it because of the quality we've got in the team." [SOURCE]

God He Is Beautiful!

In the stands was Canada Born Actress Rachel McAdams. Now this girl has some taste in men!!

TEEN WHO SHOT LAWERENCE KING BEING TRIALED AS AN ADULT

Lawrence King and Brandon McInerney

Most you all know about the tragic story about a young 15 yr who was shot by a classmate because he was gay. The judge in charge of the case wants to have Brandon McInerney stand trial as an adult for his actions.

A judge in California has ruled that that a 14-year-old boy who is to stand trial for the murder of his classmate be dealt with as if he were an adult.

As a result of Ventura County Superior Court Judge Douglas Daily's ruling, Brandon McInerney could face life in prison. [SOURCE]

But.. Get this. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans activists had urged that the boy be dealt with by a juvenile court. Crazy stuff eh? I dunno where I stand. I do believe when you're at that age you know what you are doing and maybe he should be charged as an adult. Killing someone is serious stuff so it should be dealt with in a serious manner.

DEATH OF TRANSGENDERED TEEN - HATE CRIME?

Some sad news comes our way from Colorado. An 18 yr old transgender teen was found murdered in her apt last week. The police are still stumped with who could be accountable for the crime.

Friends are wondering if this could be considered a Hate Crime because of how the victim lived her everyday life. Justin David Zapata, the victim, used to go by the name of Angie and lived his life as a woman.

It should be important to recognize that this is one aspect of Angie’s identity, and it should be factored in very seriously into the investigation," Kelly Costello of the Colorado Anti-Violence Program told MyFOX Colorado.

Police are still searching for Zapata's car, a 2003 dark green Chrysler PT Cruiser with the Colorado license plate 441ORN.

"Why would anybody even dare do something like that?" friend Alicia Portillo told MyFOX Colorado. "Why?"

On Wednesday, friends remembered Zapata as a caring friend who didn't care what others thought of her.

"She was beautiful and she wanted people to accept her for who she was,” Portillo said. [SOURCE]

Sad news. Even if this is not a Hate Crime, it should still shed light to the public how Transgendered individuals can be treated on a day to day basis. Rest In Peace Angie!

GAY REPUBLICANS - SHOW US YOUR CARDS!!

Oh how the reputations of Republicans still demolish and dwindle. Here are 5 examples of Republicans who are known for the anti-gay views and have been caught in the middle of a gay scandal that has tarnished their campaigns.

I found this article HERE.

Just makes me laugh and thought i would share this bit of info on a Friday. We all could use a little laughter in our day.

WILL IS OUT ON SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.. SNAP!

Will Wingfield is out on "So You Think You Can Dance". Snap!

I knew this would happen. Don't get me wrong this dude is hot and a great dancer, maybe the best this season, but his grave was dug a long time ago because of the judges comments. Well that's what I believe.

The judges would always praise him and say he will make it to the end and that his partner was not as good as him whenever they did their routines. I think that was his downfall. Audiences were tired of hearing all the praises he was getting instead of other contestants. Seems like Will could do no wrong.

Anyways.. The dude is out. I am such a Katee and Chelsie fan.. Love this show!

BRIT CONSERVATIVE CAUGHT WITH ANOTHER MAN!

Oh Those Male Conservatives... No matter which part of the world, some of them are being caught being 2 faced.. In the sense that they proclaim being gay is wrong, however they are being caught in sexual acts with other men. It makes me laugh.. Read this story about a Male Brit Conservative:

A Conservative councillor in Harrow has appeared in court charged with engaging in sexual activity in a public lavatory.

Robert Benson did not enter a plea at Harrow Magistrates' Court last week.

He has been suspended from the party but remains a councillor.

Mr Benson, 41, is accused of giving oral sex to another man in a public toilet in south Harrow on June 25th.

He was arrested and bailed until July 8th, when he was charged.

A 56-year-old from Essex man was issued with a caution. Mr Benson's case will be heard on 30th July at Wimbledon Magistrates Court. [SOURCE]

Sucks to be you Benson.. Hypocrit.. thats all i can say!

MICHIGAN: HATE CRIME LAW TO INCLUDE GAYS

In Michigan, Gays are finally going to get some justice. They are now being included in the hate crime law.

Michigan’s hate crime law would expand to include intimidation of gays and lesbians and people with disabilities, and would make hanging a noose or burning a cross on someone else’s property specific crimes, under changes urged by civil rights groups today.

Those changes will be put on a fast track in the House next month, said Rep. Paul Condino, D-Southfield, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He said he would introduce a bill today to strengthen the state’s ethnic intimidation law.

Condino said the hate crime law changes will be debated during the Legislature’s lame-duck session this fall. He said the proposed changes would toughen Michigan’s hate crime law and bring it in line with those of 31 other states.

The changes are supported by a wide array of civil rights organizations and law enforcement. [SOURCE]

I am honestly surprised that gays still are fighting to be included in Hate Crimes in the U.S.! That's nuts! Its like they are saying their not equal enough to be saved from hate.. Whatever.. That makes my blood boil..

PLEASE RONALDO UR TOO FRIED!!

As much as i love the Portuguese star, something has to be said for his over-tanning. It's getting bad. The dude looks like he has over done it that his skin must be like leather. Postings all over the internet are talking about the soccer star and his over-sun-exposed skin.. Take a look below at the transition of the colour of Ronaldo's skin.

The pic below was taken of Ronaldo shopping. Poor guy on crutches.. But does anyone see anything wrong with his legs?? Doesn't even seem like the same Ronaldo.

Football star Cristiano Ronaldo clearly enjoys sporting the bronzed look.

But the Manchester United and Portuguese international appears to have taken his love of tanning too far as he turned a distinct shade of mahogany from his daily sunbathing sessions in Los Angeles.

Ronaldo has spent his break since the premiere season's end last month sunning himself. First on holiday with ex-girlfriend Nereida in Sardinia, and now in Los Angeles.

But despite acquiring the desired bronzed look some weeks ago, the star footballer is still soaking up the sun on a daily basis.

Ronaldo's once sunkissed skin has now turned a decidedly much darker hue, but the 23-year-old appears to be addicted to the suns rays, lying out in the sun on a daily basis. [SOURCE]

Yes Indeed, a DARKER HUE.. More like RIDICULOUS HUE.. Please Ronaldo stop tanning.. Go back to being just a nice bronzed colour.. you were much more hotter than.

HIV CURE TRIAL CANCELLED - SAFETY CONCERNS

For my last blog.. got some bummer news. Seems like they are stopping trials on an HIV vaccine

due to safety concerns.. Bah!!

A research trial for the PAVE-100 AIDS vaccine planned in the U.S. has been cancelled over concerns that additional research is needed to prove the vaccine is safe before it is tested on a large number of human subjects.

A similar vaccine from Merck was pulled from research trials last year after it failed to prevent infections and was found to have possibly increased recipients’ chances of contracting HIV.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) planned to test the PAVE-100 vaccine in 2,400 male volunteers at a cost of around $63 million, according to HealthNews.com.
Originally, the PAVE (Partnership for AIDS Vaccine Evaluation) vaccine was intended to be tested in 8,500 volunteers last October.

However, the trial was suspended after the failure of a similar HIV vaccine from Merck.
The Merck HIV vaccine was pulled from research trials last year after failing to prevent infections in research participants and failing to lower the amount of HIV in the blood of infected volunteers. [SOURCE]

That sucks. I feel like this disease may be upon us for some time. Like Cancer, it just seems impossible for a cure. I dunno, deep down I feel like its a conspiracy with the U.S. government trying to save researcher jobs and funding for these diseases. I mean a lot of money goes into these researches for a cure and nothing?? Hmmm.. Gets me thinking every time.

Hopefully one day.. We will have a cure.. For now.. Play Safe! I am out! have a great HUMP DAY everyone.

THE GAYS STILL WISH THAT IAN THORPE WAS GAY.. SORRY BOYS.. HE'S NOT!!

Olympic Swimmer Ian Thorpe has be swarmed with gay rumours ever since he showed up on the scene. I am not sure why the rumours.. maybe its because he is a swimmer? Always in Speedos? I am not too sure..

Anyways, reports come in stating the swimmer is now dating a woman across the world. Hmmm.. why such a long distance romance?? Suspicious?? Nah!!

For years, probably since his appearance at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, many have been speculating, and most gay men have been hoping, that the Thorpedo—gold medal winner Ian Thorpe—was indeed a homo. Well, don’t count on it.

This past weekend, in an interview with Australian paper The Sunday Telegraph, Thorpe was again vague about the gender of his new significant other. When asked if there was someone special in his life he said, "There is, but they don’t live in this country."

That interview had the web buzzing that Thorpe might finally reveal more details about his private life, which he has famously kept to himself, probably part of the reason for the homospeculation.

On Monday, however, all our Thorpe dreams were finally laid to rest.

Web site News.AU.com reports that, in an interview with Women’s Day, Thorpe finally revealed the gender of his new love interest.

"I am in a new relationship and I am very happy; except she lives on the other side of the world." Thorpe told the magazine.

"It’s very cool, but we want to see how it goes. She’s a friend of a friend and we were introduced. She has all the qualities that are most important to me." [SOURCE]

Well i guess that squashes a lot of peoples dreams of getting with Thorpe the Torpedo. One can still dream.

SAW V - SUBLIMINAL GAY MSG IN POSTER??

Here is a funny one for ya.. Found this article at Queerity.com. According to a website, the author believes the new poster for Saw V featuring a man wearing a mask of the dead Saw Dude, has some sort of hidden msg for the Gays.. Wait Wait.. You really have to see what the message is:

…Has Lionsgate turned to using Homosexual Subliminal Messages in their advertising? Perhaps they feel the need to attract a new type of audience for the film to succeed.
The Saw V teaser poster featured a shirtless man wearing a Jigsaw mask, but if you crop the bottom out, you will notice it looks like a hairy ass. And who doesn’t love them some hairy man ass?

I can’t believe Lionsgate has resorted to such cheap tactics, or maybe I applaud them - I’m not quite sure yet. [SOURCE]

What do you guys think? Hairy Ass? HA HA HA

BETTY WHITE & BEA ARTHUR SPEAK OUT ABOUT ESTELLE'S PASSING

Awww. My friends are even calling me with the sad news. Just got a message from my friend Jenia telling me she just heard too. It taking the entertainment industry by shock. Here is what Bea Arthur (Dorothy) and Betty White (Rose) had to say about Estelle:

Bea Arthur has released a statement to Usmagzine.com after the death of her Golden Girls co-star Estelle Getty:

"Our mother-daughter relationship was one of the greatest comic duos ever, and I will miss her," Arthur said.

Getty — who played Arthur's sarcastic mother Sophia on the hit NBC sitcom — won an Emmy in 1988 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Saddened by the news, Betty White (who played the naïve Rose) told Us, "The only comfort at this moment is that although Estelle has moved on, Sophia will always be with us." [SOURCE]

So Sad :(

"Golden Girl" Estelle Getty has gone to the big lanai in the sky and died at the age of 84, just three days shy of her 85th birthday.Estelle passed away at 5:35 AM this morning at her L.A. home surrounded by her family and caregivers. Getty had been suffering for years with Lewy Body Dementia.Although one year younger than Bea Arthur, Estelle is best known for playing her wise-cracking Sicilian mother Sophia Petrillo on "The Golden Girls."

Anyways.. Estelle will be greatly missed.

CORONTATION ST MAY BE GETTING 1ST LESBIAN CHARACTER

I am not sure if there are many followers of Coronation St. but i was a huuuge fan when they outed Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley, see below) on the show. ITV is said to be making a main character a Lesbian.. Hmmm which character is it, Read Below to find out:

Coronation Street is planning on introducing its first lesbian character.

A source at Granada told the News of the World: "Violet was pinpointed as the one character they could take down that route. It does seem ridiculous it has never been explored on Corrie but that's all about to change."

Popular barmaid Violet Wilson would have been Corrie's first lesbian character, had her straight relationships with Jamie Baldwin (Rupert Hill) and Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) not proved so popular with viewers.

There has been no official announcement about when the first lesbian character will be treading Weatherfield's famous cobbled streets. [SOURCE]

So.. it sounds like they are not sure if it will be Violet, only time will tell. SWEET!!

Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley)

WHAT AINT RIGHT NIKE? SWEATY BALLS IN THE FACE??

It looks like Nike may have offended some Gays with their new Ads coming out. They feature basketball players in "crazy" positions while playing on the court. I for one can see where they can be offensive, but they can be taken both ways i find.

In one way it kinda shouts out Homophobic. Whats wrong with a guys crotch in your face? How is that not right? But.. It can also be looked at it being not right to have this happen to you while playing the game. It Definitely screams foul.. no?


What do you guys think about the Ads? Homophobic or Not?

75% AMERICANS WANT GAYS IN THE ARMY - HOW SUSPICIOUS!!

Well isn't this interesting. Americans fight to ban gay marriage but when it comes to shipping gays off to fight in the war they are all for it??? Something does not seem right here.. Does anyone else agree??

ABC News has found that three-quarters of Americans think that openly gay, lesbian and bisexual people should be allowed to serve in the military.

64% of Republicans and nearly two thirds of self-described conservatives backed a change in the current law, as did 57% of white evangelical Protestants and 82% of white Catholics.

It was Republican opposition that forced then-President Bill Clinton to abandon his pledge to allow gay people to serve and signed into law the compromise known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." [SOURCE]

I am reading this and I really can't get over it. Read the whole story and post comments if you think it sounds suspicious too. If they are allowed to fight for their country then i think those who oppose gay marriage should just stuff it!

MONDAY HOTTNESS - RONALDO

OH MY GOODNESS... This has made my Monday.. Just look how golden brown the dude is.. Its nuts. I am kinda worried though.. This guy does a lot of tanning.. so i am super scared of what his skin is gonna look like in 10 years.. Well, Who Cares!! As long as we can enjoy more pics like these.. MUHAHAHAHAAHA

When it comes to sunshine, just like pretty ladies, Cristiano Ronaldo can't seem to get enough.

The Manchester United star spent yet another day reclining on a sun lounge at his luxury LA hotel, topping up a tan that has already reached a rather startling shade of orange.

Ronaldo looked right at home in Hollywood as he smothered himself in baby oil for the latest baking session, regularly rotating to ensure an all-over colour.

The injured star was recovering poolside from yet another night on the town, where he was again spotted trawling clubs for female companions.

He hit popular celebrity haunt Villa on both Friday and Saturday night, where onlookers say he was busy 'auditioning' girls. [SOURCE]

Look how gorgeous he is.. From head to toe.. Damn!! Hope ur enjoying ur Monday! SWEET!!

WILL THEY LEAVE MISS J.J. & NIPPLEGATE ALONE?

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone.. I am starting off the week with a good note.. I am cheerful and reading this story makes me laugh because it seems like the States just can't let Nipplegate go.. Geesh..

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A federal appeals court on Monday threw out a $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson's breast-baring "wardrobe malfunction."

The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity.

The 90 million people watching the Super Bowl, many of them children, heard Justin Timberlake sing, "Gonna have you naked by the end of this song," as he reached for Jackson's bustier. [SOURCE]

I am sorry, but if people are getting upset about a nipple that is "COVERED WITH A JEWEL" but not upset at letting children watch grown men beat each other up during football, then there is something wrong with society.. Sorry.. thats what I think. I am so PRO Janet!
