You know, I’m not surprised that someone would make a porno about the octomom, Nadya Suleman. What makes me gag is that they found someone who looks so much like her to star in the damn thing. I don’t even want to think about some greasy straight guy watching this.

The blogosphere is buzzing about American Idol contestant Adam Lambert. He is being called the show’s “first openly gay” contestant and people are wonder whether or not Americans will vote for him.
Photos alleged to be of Lambert tongue-kissing another guy have been posted all over the Internet for the past few days. So far, the authenticity of the photos has not been established. But, many are wondering whether or not the the guy being kissed in the photos will turn up in the American Idol audience as a boyfriend or maybe even a husband. The rumor is that the guy is named Brad and that he and Lambert have been a couple for years.
Of course, Lambert isn’t the first gay contestant on American Idol. Clay Aiken finally came out of the closet after years of denials. And, the show has had several non-winning contestants who set off everyone’s gaydar. Remember Danny Noriega?
I think Lambert should just be himself. If he’s in a serious relationship, he should bring the guy on the show and introduce him to America — just like the straight contestants do.

Here’s the latest music video from VenetianPrincess. She’s quickly becoming the female Weird Al. Check it out.
EVERYONE!
I wish someone would pay me tens of thousands of dollars to come out on the cover of a national magazine. Oh, yeah. I don’t have to have to come out. Everyone has known that I’m gay for about 30 years.
I don’t pretend to be up on the latest slang. So, forgive me if this term has been around for awhile. I just came across it on gossip blog DListed. If it is new, I hope it doesn’t catch on. What is wrong with simply saying Jennifer Hudson is in LOVE. Dickmatized? Give me a break!
verb, To describe when your female friend has disappeared from most social events due to the man in her life or makes decisions based on/around the man.
Jennifer Hudson Must Be Dickmatized
Jennifer Hudson is engaged to Punk from “I Love New York.” The girl is an Oscar winner and she’s going to marry a dude who probably had a couple of sword fights with New York. I mean, the dude most likely tossed New York’s salad and licked on her nuts! NO!
JHud’s rep told People: “I can confirm that Jennifer got engaged to her boyfriend David on Friday night in L.A.”
[…]
JHud is either knocked up or she’s extremely dickmatized. I don’t care how good the dick is. He’s had his tongue down New York’s masculine throat! That’s a deal breaker.
Eww! Judge David Young returned this week for his second season with a new focus. The only openly gay TV judge has added a lie dectector and DNA paternity testing to the show and is presenting the kind of cases that we’re used to seeing on Maury.
I watched Judge David Young last season and found his show to be fresh and unique. Now, it has been reduced to unwatchable baby daddy drama. I predict that this will be Young’s last season on TV.
Judge Judy is still the reigning queen of small claims court TV. She presents real cases with real people and doesn’t stoop to hype like lie detectors and DNA tests.
I can’t stand seeing people on TV talking about cheating on their partners and questioning the paternity of their children. I’d rather watch someone sue her neighbor for cutting down a tree or former roommates fighting over unpaid rent.
It is too bad that Judge Young had to sell out and feature fake, sensational cases involving cheating spouses and illegitimate children.
UPDATE: I received an e-mail message from David Young this evening. He has asked me to watch a few more episodes before I pass judgement on his second season:
Date: Wed Sep 10 20:17:52 CDT 2008
Subject: I’m sorry you do not like the show
Fritz, our DNA cases are just one third of what we do. And I must say, that we are nothing like Maury. We also have incorporated the use of a lie detector and surprise witnesses in many cases. All innovative for daytime court. My show was and still is unique. So before wishing for my obit, take the show in for a week or so and then let me know what you think.
My best,
David Young
Okay. I won’t remove Judge David Young from my TiVo Season Pass Manager just yet. But, the last couple of shows where exactly like Maury. A husband accused his wife of cheating and then she took a lie detector test, which was followed by a DNA test. That’s what Maury does 70% of the time.
Maury also does those “can you tell which one is a man” shows during which the audience votes on which guests are women and which ones are transgender.
Please, Judge David, don’t borrow that material from Maury, too. I don’t want to see you ruling on who was born with a penis and who wasn’t!
My twin brother and I used to watch a lot of really bad horror movies when we were kids. He recently posted a YouTube trailer of one that I remember as being particularly bad, The Flesh Eaters. I was a very disappointed 7-year-old when I watched that movie expecting to see monsters ripping into human flesh with gnarly teeth. There wasn’t a drop of blood — just a cheap glowing special effect and actors running around screaming for no good reason.
However, I wasn’t disappointed by Mantago or Attack of the Mushroom People (it went by both titles). The people actually turned into giant mushrooms! I especially remember the weird music and the “surprise” ending in which the narrator admits that he “..ate the mushrooms!”
Do you have a favorite old horror movie? If so, look it up on YouTube and post a link.
I watched Barack Obama on The O’Reilly Factor last night and based on what he said, I have serious doubts about my continuing to support him as a candidate. Obviously, Obama appeared on Fox News in order to convince the wingnuts that he just as much of a hawk as John McCain. I was very disappointed in his support of the so-called “war on terror” and the use of military action in the Middle East.
I regret giving my support to a candidate who fails to condemn the illegal, immoral, and unjust war in Iraq. He quibbles with O’Reilly over the effectiveness of the surge. He states that he will continue to waste our military resources to combat terrorism when it has been proven time and time again that police and intelligence agencies are more effective.
Obama has proven himself to be a typical pandering politician. He’ll say anything to get elected. He’ll use the scare tactics of the right to his own advantage.
So much for change. So much for hope. So much for an end to war.
I’ve been getting spam from Bill O’Reilly for several years. I assume that someone signed me up as a joke. Today, I received the following “Bill Bulletin” in my inbox:
Bill Bulletin
from BillOReilly.comSeptember 4, 2008
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), the Democratic presidential nominee, sits down for an exclusive interview with Bill tonight on The O’Reilly Factor.
The Factor airs on the Fox News Channel weeknights at 8 PM ET.
The Factor File Newsletter and Bill’s column will resume as usual next week.
Why is Barack Obama appearing on The O’Lielly Factor? What could he possibly have to gain by going on any Fox News program? No one who watches this rightwing filth is going to vote for him.
Batusi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batusi was a 1960s style go-go dance invented for the Batman television series. The name is a pun on the then-popular dance the Watusi.
Performance
The Batusi is performed by making a horizontal V-sign with one’s index and middle fingers of both hands, and drawing them across in front of the eyes, one hand at a time, with the eyes roughly between the fingers. This is performed in time with the music, and is improved upon by continuing to dance with the lower half of the body, simultaneously.
History
The Batusi first appeared in the premiere episode of the 1960s American television series based on the comic book character Batman.
There are conflicting reports as to who invented the dance, which became a national craze on the dance scene. One account is that it was invented by dance instructor Arthur Murray for Batman, and was supposedly first performed at a cocktail party at a New York City discothèque, Harlow’s. But in a 2005 Wizard Magazine interview, Adam West claims credit for creating the Batusi’s unique moves.

Last night, I went over to my friend Tom’s house for spaghetti and a movie. Tom had already selected the DVD The Secret, a movie with David Duchovny that I’d never heard of (Tom is a big X-Files fan, so I wasn’t surprised by his movie pick).
Anyway, the movie was about a father and daughter who have a secret. The mother and daughter are in a car accident and the mother dies. Somehow, the mother’s spirit ends up in the daughter’s body. It was kind of a spooky Freaky Friday.
Instead of announcing this major metaphysical discovery to the entire world, the father and daughter argee to keep it a secret. Then, there are some creepy suggestions of father/daughter incest. Yuck.
The movie was okay. The one thing we all agreed on was that Duchovny looked pretty hot. He hasn’t aged very much since his X-Files days. In fact, I think he’s gotten even more attractive over the years.
This morning, I was still thinking about The Secret and Duchovny when I read the following article in the Sunday newspaper:
Duchovny in Rehab
Compiled by JULIE BLOOM
Published: August 29, 2008David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation center for sex addiction, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Duchovny, who plays a sex-obsessed character on the Showtime show “Californication,” did so voluntarily, according to a statement on Thursday from his lawyer, Stanton Stein. The statement also quoted Mr. Duchovny as saying, “I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.” Mr. Duchovny has been married to the actress Téa Leoni since 1997…
At an undisclosed laboratory in Switzerland, the discarded body parts of “King of Pop” Michael Jackson turned 50 today.
Employees at Advanced Cryonics LTD., marked the event by serving birthday cake and ice cream to Jackson’s former mouth. The singer’s former nose, chin and penis were also thawed out and present for the celebration.
The noses of siblings Jermaine, LaToya, and Janet were not able to attend. They are currently being stored at a lab in South Korea. The nose of Jackson’s mother, Katherine, was eaten by an escaped lab rat in 1997.
The rest of Michael Jackson celebrated the milestone at the singer’s home along with his children Prince and Blanket and replacement body parts that turn, 25, 24, 22, 19, 15, 14, 12, 4, 3, 2, and 1 on various dates throughout the year.

What’s wrong with this picture?
Tonight, Stephen Colbert made a joke that he probably thinks is fairly innocuous:
“C’mon, Democratic Party. Play along. If your party does not implode, we’ll have to go with our back up scandal — Ed Rendell is a tranny.”
The joke included the display of a graphic showing Rendell wearing a blond wig and garish makeup. It was something very similar to the doctored photo of Colbert I’ve posted above.
Is a photo of a straight man Photoshopped to look like a clownish drag queen funny? Sure. Why not?
However, where Colbert went over the line was his use of the term tranny. Calling a transgender person tranny is no different than calling a gay man a fag or a black person the n-word. It is a demeaning term that is used to dehumanize a group of people who have a genuine physical and mental condition.
The graphic that Colbert used is particularly insulting to transgender people. They are people who have transitioned or are in the process of transitioning from one gender to the other. In the case of male to female transgender women, they are very sensitive to being portrayed as men in drag. They are not. They aren’t clowns or objects for our entertainment. They shouldn’t be the butt of a stupid joke on late night TV.
Sorry, Colbert. You really blew it with this one. You’re a funny guy, but you need to learn a few things about what it means to be a transgender person.
Other terms that should be avoided:
Transphobia negatively impacts the lives of tens of thousands people in countless ways. Transgender people face discrimination in housing, employment, and healthcare. Can’t they enjoy watching The Colbert Report without hearing a cheap joke at their expense?

“[Michelle Obama] must prove she loves America, as opposed to Republicans who everyone knows love America. They just hate half the people living in it.”

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a review of the single The Man Who Can’t Be Moved by the Irish band The Script. I was very anxious to get my hands on their eponymously named debut album. It was released in the UK and isn’t yet available in U.S. stores.
Finally, I was able to purchase it a few days ago. I’ve been listening to it non-stop ever since. Every track is excellent. Without a doubt, The Script will be a huge hit in the U.S. when their album is made available here.
Many reviewers have compared The Script to U2. Since they’re Irish, I suppose that is to be expected. However, their sound is much more pop than rock. I’d be more inclined to compare this group to Coldplay and Maroon 5. In the UK, the group is classified as R&B — which is really a stretch (perhaps not for the Brits).
It is rare that I find an album that I can listen to from beginning to end without reaching for the forward button to skip a track. I find Danny O’Donaghue’s lead vocals extremely compelling. He kind of reminds me of a young Sting during The Police years.
The only track I could live without is the more uptempo Rusty Halo. Strangely, this is the track on which I think O’Donaghue reminds me most of Sting (Canary In A Coalmine to be specific).
