News: Clay Aiken, Buenos Aires Snow, Steven Spielberg, Madonna
Analyst: Apple planning iPhone Nano priced at $300 or lower.
Look out, Buenos Aires: City sees first snow since 1918.
Though Sunday night's episode featured its first (and apparently only) full-frontal shot, the boys of Entourage won't be showing much skin any time soon. Says producer Doug Ellin: "I don't have any interest in seeing that. Adrian has tried to do that a couple of times. I've told him no. Sundance specifically. One scene in the hot tub he just decided to go without his pants on, but we didn't use that take."
Smell this: Clay Aiken's wandering foot in fracas at 35,000 feet.
Michigan judge Janet Neff, whose nomination was objected to by Sam Brownback because she once spoke at a lesbian civil union, is confirmed for Michigan's federal court.
The L.A. Times talks to Hairspray director Adam Shankman: "The movie is so laden with message you can't play the message, ever. I just want people to relate to Tracy's journey. The craziness of the material will never go away. The whole reason you have a man playing Edna is because everything is all mixed up and crazy and you can't judge books by their covers. I am Tracy. I'm this outsider who always just desperately wanted to perform and be successful."
Meet Lance Bass' Latin lover Pedro Andrade.
Steven Spielberg-designed videogames to be shown off at gaming conference E3: "The first, codenamed LMNO, is a contemporary action adventure, said Neil Young, general manager of EA's Los Angeles studio. The second, with the codename PQRS, is a puzzle game designed for Nintendo's Wii console...Spielberg said the puzzle game 'seemed like a great thing for the entire family to play together over Christmas; although you don't need the excuse of a holiday to enjoy it.' The game has been described as a mix of Saturday-morning cartoon and Jenga. Mr Young said: 'Of course just playing with blocks does not a game make. Now imagine there are up to 50 different properties that can be associated with them. They can explode or form a chemical reaction.'"
Shut up and drive: Residents of Oregon town upset about penis-shaped traffic posts.
Madonna demands eye contact at Live Earth interviews: "Never look down to check notes - all questions must be memorised or the interview will be terminated."

I don't get it: why gay men keep talking about and worshiping mean bitches like Madonna? Sure, she is wildly creative and driven, and the mother of pop re-invention. But as a person, she is about as appealing as Attila the Hun. I can't imagine wanting to work for her or to be her friend.

If the 2nd generation iPhone is to have "a circular touch pad control" that will suck. I think the sexiest feature of the new iPhone is the touch screen. How the hell does Lance get men that look like that???? HOT!

Pedro is real cute in person. He used to be a bartender at gay bars around town if I recall.

The citizens of Keizer, OR aren't very bright. "Retrofitting the posts with metal collars and chains" is supposed to make them look LESS sexual? Ha!
Did they ever stop to think that the flesh color was part of the "problem"? Clearly they have no gay men in that town, or if they do, they're colorblind.
Just paint 'em dark green. Problem solved. Sheesh.

Those same posts on one of the busiest streets in Memphis didn't raise an eyebrow.

That entourage episode was super transphobic. Very unfortunate.

How does Lance get men that look like that?
Celebrity fuckers are a dime a dozen honey. Doesn't matter that Lance is teetering between a the C-list and D-list, those coat tails are too tempting to ignore.

Are the Oregon residents also offended by taco shells?

" How the hell does Lance get men that look like that???? "
Simply.
They're called 'gold-diggers' Dave.

Hmm, Pedro is a pretty decent and popular guy in NYC. Problem is that he had one of the hottest guys in town (TJ), not sure when he decided to move on.
But, if TJ is free. That's bigger news than who is dating Lance.

Say it isn't so! This couldn’t possibly be the same Brownback running for President that Our Lord & Savior Barack Obama recently described as “a good man” when a reporter asked about the two of them campaigning so close to each other in the same town?
Why, of course not. Our Lord is the candidate for a “new direction,” “new hope,” and would have found another less, uh, anointing way to describe the American Taliban’s Sammy. Just like Our Lord absolutely positively unquestionably was not demonstrating a knee jerk homophobia when he felt the need to “make clear” during the recent debate that he did not, repeat DID NOT get an AIDS test with Sen. Biden. Did I say, “kneejerk”? Forgive me. I meant knee slap. It was just a joke, a real knee slapper. Ha Ha.
And we would never ever suggest that the Messiah from Illinois might have immediately come up with a different adjective to describe Sen. Brownback had the latter tried, oh let's say, to block a judicial candidate simply because she had attended a Black straight couple's wedding.

Ain't a hell of a lot going on in Keizer, apparently, if its citizens have that much time on their hands.

Sacre merde, RP! Surely you aren't suggesting that Reichen was a gold digger? Haven’t you seen his latest tattoo, the one defacing his whole back? If you had, then you’d know that “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE [HIM].” Oh, well, at least it gives his tricks something to read while they’re ________.
Ooops, did I say tricks as in plural? Forgive me. Of course I, too, have seen those endless pictures of Reichen with his lips so self-consciously and constantly clued to his Lance rebound, er what’s his name. Louis? No, that was his previous "personal trainer" true love. Whatever his name is, the message is loud and queer. It's GSL, Gay Sign Language, for “Sure, Lance, you kicked my cheatin' ass to the curb but I quickly found another sucka.” Red carpets everywhere breathed a sigh of relief.
We suppose there's little chance Lance and Pedro will be joinng the other would-be butt pirates for Reichen’s latest scheme which he's calling the “Lift the Ban” cruise. Aye, mateys, on your way to Cabo you can “show your support for America’s brave fighting men and women who are discriminated against for simply being gay” by simply shoving money in Reichen's tired board shorts. [Lap dances not included.] Of course, not a dime nor even a queer two dollar bill is going to SLDN or any other group actually doing something besides giving head [Reichen's OTHER speciality] to the idea of overturning DADT, but it’s for St. Reichen!!! OK? Better hurry: the $2000 rooms are already sold out. www.cruisewithreichen.com

Pedro must have broken up with TJ, who literally is the biggest dreamboat imaginable. They shared the cover of the Advocate awhile back. So yes I'm pathetic- but if you boys were to ever see TJ in person, you would understand.

What on earth is wrong with you people? So Pedro and Lance both have hot ex-boyfriends... do we really need to spend so much time walking down memory lane? Why can't we just be happy for a new couple? Honestly.
Posted by: JAKE | Jul 10, 2007 5:33:57 PM
Ok, clearly the main issue here is that we don't have a pic of TJ. C'mon Andy (or someone) get with it!! :)
lol

Full frontal nudity on Entourage? Did I miss something? Who got nekkid?

Madonna can go to hell for all I care. The mother of pop's reinvention? Only someone who thinks pop music is *good* could say that without a sneer.

I think Pedro and TJ (his ex boyfriend) must have been into threesomes because they were always giving me heavy duty come hither stares at Equinox Gym in NYC. I SHOULD HAVE TAPPED THOSE TWO WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!!!
But I wouldn't have a threesome with Pedro and Lance Bass unless Lance wore a bag over his head. Eck. Actually Pedro's hairline is receding. So DOUBLE ECK.
