Linda Biron, a lawyer in New Hampshire with strong ties to an anti-gay Christian law group, was arrested yesterday on charges of child pornography. Speaking of underage sex; just when it seemed that the sex scandal involving the man who voices Elmo was about to fade away it has come roaring back. The accuser now says that he was forced into recanting his statement and that he wants to recant his recantation. There is something really sleazy about this whole thing.

New GOP golden boy Marco Rubio was recently profiled in GQ and threw a bone to Creationists.

How Ryan Gosling manages to still look hot with his face totally beaten in is beyond me. And a member of a UK X-Factor boyband just came out.
