New magazine for gay teens to launch in Manchester, England.
If there's any reason to watch The Real Housewives of Orange County, I'd say Shane Keough is it.
Despite its former British colony status, Hong Kong has said "no" to a request to allow same-sex couples to marry at the British Consulate there: "British law allows for couples, where at least one partner is a British national, to register their partnerships overseas, if the local authorities do not object to us doing so. We consulted the Hong Kong government to ask if there were any objections to the British Consulate-General Hong Kong registering civil partnerships of eligible same-sex couples under this legislation. The (Hong Kong government) has informed us that it does not consider it appropriate to agree to the registration of civil partnerships of same-sex couples at the British Consulate-General Hong Kong at present."
Brad Pitt to tattoo his back with a Buddhist protection prayer for Angelina Jolie's son Maddox.
The next Real World, to be shot in Denver, will include two gay cast members, a gay man and a lesbian. The gay man will work as a barback at Denver hangout JR's (via reality blurred).

Why hasn't the Real World had a bisexual dude in its cast after all these years? And I hope one of these new gay people is a person of color and NOT stereotypical.

After watching Shane Keough's little performance on E!'s "Talk Soup" yesterday, I've determined he's a total dumbass.
Give me brains behind those pretty looks.

Hey, remember Maddox's last name is Jolie-Pitt, and was adopted by both Jolie and Brad Pitt. Thus, Maddox is Pitt's son, also

a magazine with a 16 year old editor... I'd like to see that.

Screw Hong Kong. Why do they think that they have the right to deny British citizens their legal right to marry? Isn't the embassy/consulate considered British territory? Wouldn't that mean that the Brits really don't have to ask the host country if it's OK?
Anyone know if similar restrictions have been placed on British embassies in the USA?

And the magazine's called "Boyz Only" that'll be a mag for gay male teens only. Nice and inclusive, that.

Yeah, It's all about Shane... That family makes some cute kids, even the daughter is hot...

Carlos-- There was a bisexual guy in the original Real World.

Apparently British Consulates are able to do the commitment ceremony thing only if the host country is agreeable. So, some States in the US are OK and others are not.
Brad should remember that tattoos are forever (unlike Angelina`s marriages) and are expensive for film studios to blank
out.
As for the Boyz Only mag - apart from some aspects of the political agenda, exactly what else do we have in common with lesbians...?

Barback. Hmm. New word for me. I had to do a double take, and I first saw "bareback"...(sorry guys). :)

There seems to be a lively discussion going on regarding Shane's sexuality...

There's a dead link when I hit Shane Keough's name?
