    Rupert had everything lifted but the fuzz on his drug-addled mind. And this Matt Goldberg guy keeps propping him up and cheering his point, even ahooting down the obvious onslaught of negative feedback in his comments section. He's not just saying this is true; he wants this to be true.

    After that farce upstate earlier today, I'm not in the mood for penny-ante crap like this.

    for god's sake, don't come out like rupert. you'll be forced into a life of forgetful movies, hobnobbing with the likes of madonna and donatella versace and lamenting how your aging looks can't snare free coke and puerto rican hustlers like they used to. quel dommage, indeed.

    I know people say the Oscars are rigged and the Emmys are just what the left happen to like that year, but what the hell is wrong with the Grammys?

    Speaking of being gay having an affect on your career, ABC not only cancelled Adam Lambert on Jimmy Kimmel, they cancelled him on New Year's Rockin' Eve.

    It's bullsh*t, but I hope Lambert and Everett can remember there are other important things in life than minor details like earning a living - like love and family and marriage and... oh. Nevermind.

    So just where are gays allowed that "pursuit of happiness" thing? I forget.

    @bodegacat: Sadly, not in show-business (let's keep it to the industry, and not touch the fact that some would like there to be nowhere that a gay can be happy). I tend to agree that the industry is 'a game' and you have to play it right, that means people like us don't get to know who is gay and who isn't. Some of these people are out to their loved ones, but, PR-wise, it's not a good idea for them to play it that way. People are fucking dumb and afraid and uneducated about sexuality in general--so you get young actors, especially, who just grin and blush coyly about who they're dating. They might actually be happy otherwise, it's just the truth isn't something that's good for business, at least not when it's out in the open. A lot of eyes are on them, and some of those eyes belong to assholes.

    @bodegacat: What's sad is that, unlike heterosexuals, homosexuals often have to choose one or the other ("happiness" or "career success"). That said, show business will quickly dispose anything risky at the slightest hint that its fanfare is on the wane.

    And "Kids," that Target jingle, over "Electric Feel" for Best Pop Song? For shame.

    This whole Italian-American thing is a slippery slope people. By this standard Christian Siriano is clearly homophobic.

    So all this time, I've been looking at these "Jersey Shore" promos thinking this one dude looked really familiar, but attributing that to the fact that so many guidos look alike.

    ...and then I find out today that I DO know one of the cast members. He dated my best friend's sister for three years. And now I have to watch the whole season so I can laugh and laugh.

    Who is Alona Tal? Who is Alona Tal? How you people get to write about entertainment without watching Veronica Mars, I'll never know. Also, is Danielle Harris actually Danneel Harris? If so, she's the hot redhead from One Tree Hill. If not, I'm as clueless as you are.

    Oh, and is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Yes, you know what I mean--Richard Brody is actually Brody Jenner!

    Earlier in history, an Italian-American civil rights organization tried to prevent schools from teaching that anyone but Columbus discovered America. Fuck the Vikings.

    1. I think it's more likely that Michael Jackson was the top search term on Yahoo, but some marketing schmuck inflated that (because that's what they do) into the top search on the Internet.

    2. Google's zeitgeist shows fastest-rising searches, which is a different measure from most-popular searches (though the rankings may still end up being the same).

    YAY for Ugly Betty! Suck it to those who complain when Guidos perpetuate their own stereotype. 'Jersey Shore' isn't a minstrel show. If you're worried about the depiction of Italian-Americans, perhaps you should deal with....sorry, naked pic of Levi Johnston caught my eye. Gotta go.

    You know, ABC has totally screwed up "Ugly Betty" by moving it around. The writing has suffered somewhat, like most shows do until they get their legs. But when it's on target, it's a fun, delicious romp.

    I'm glad someone is wising up and putting it back into a decent time slot.

    @BowlingForDollars: I actually think his season has been really good, and I'm thrilled that it's finally getting a good time slot again.

    Too bad it's up against Glee...
