Thanks to Good As You for this depressing story.
Marketed as "pro-marriage" stickers, these are being sold on ebay by some loser from a place called Wisconsin.
Apparently they are "sure to draw some
attention" and "they really stand out and
look great.
"I've had all three stickers on my vehicles for several
months and have received nothing but praise. People love them!
Especially the more rednecked types."
Sigh.
Factutainment talent ITV show X Factor's contestant Andy Williams "does not swing that way" - but is still a favourite to win the competition.
Interviewed by local radio DJs on a local radio station in his native Wales, he was asked:
"You've got a lot of girls swooning over you, Andy. I don't know if you are aware of this, but you have a lot of fellas doing the same thing as well. How do you feel about that?"
Andy, who, somewhat unusually among "talent show" contestants, owns his own asbestos surveying company, responded with true star style:
"I need all the support I can get but I don't swing that way."
A comment on local news website thisisswansea.co.uk, from a Gareth Collins from Cardiff, says:
"I am a 28 year old homosexual and have known Andy for many years through a friend. He is definitely not gay but a gentleman and clearly gorgeous from head to toe!! even stuck up for me when I've been put down in public for being different, we've all gotta vote for this guy. he is a one off and a pleasure to call my friend."
Who describes themselves as a "homosexual" these days? How strange.
X Factor is on ITV constantly.
One of our correspondents spotted this poster on a rural road in Nicaragua and was much taken with it:
Would you have a 2ft tattoo inked on to your body as a surprise for your children?
Well, factory worker Paul Croft did.
The etching of Dumbledore on his back "seemed like a good idea at the time."
But since the revelation from Harry Potter JK Rowling that Dumbledore is gay, Paul has been getting stick from his co-workers.
"It's been terrible," he told The Sun.
"I've always liked Dumbledore - just not in that way. I went into work and everyone was sniggering.
"When I walked in, one of the lads said, 'Oi, Paul - heard about Dumbledore?'
"There were wisecracks about 'Watch your backs, lads.' Someone asked me if I was planning to get a tattoo of Graham Norton. I thought, 'Why me?'"
Sounds like a fun place to work.
Paul's tattoo, which set him back £500, shows the gay wizard as portrayed by the late Richard Harris in the first two Potter films, holding a scroll with the names of Paul's five children written on it.
R&B superstar
Alicia Keys has said she knows why people thought she was a lesbian at
the beginning of her career - because she was "rough around the edges."
Keys’ sexuality became the subject of speculation after the release of her debut album songs in A minor in 2001.
However,
the singer has been adamant she isn't a lesbian but has said that her
appearance and attitude may have led people to think so.
"I was
definitely rough around the edges. I look back at certain interviews
and I'm like, 'Damn! Did I have to look that hard? Did I have to do my
hair that way?" The Sun quoted Keys as saying.
"I could see why people couldn't see the diamond in the rough.
"I didn't take it to heart. I know what I am. I know it's not true," she added.
Breaking News: Ellen Degeneres prefers pussy! Courteney Cox and Jennifer Anniston’s hood is on fire. W Magazine makes Angelina Jolie and Jen Anniston do cover girl battle—but we'd really rather see them naked in the ring. Pretty Pink could soon be on the prowl thanks to her hubby’s cheating heart—and the girls welcome her with open arms. And, Naomi Watts goes to The Birds, in an ill-conceived remake, that is. Scratching
an itch to state the blatantly obvious, Ellen prefers pussy! Now that
the “Save Iggy” campaign to wrest the pup from his fate at the hands of
the high-strung, nefarious, whacked out, Mutts and Moms animal rescue
agency, has failed miserably, it’s refreshing to note that Ellen’s
reconfirmed her commitment to kitty and tossed another yippy pup on its
ear in favor of her feline friends. In this Post-Iggy world, no longer will playwright David Mamet’s
assertion in State and Main that something is as tight as “dykes and
dogs,” hold true, since Degeneres, the biggest dyke on the block,
kicked her dog to her hairdresser’s curb. And since when does anyone in
Hollywood have a hairdresser and not a stylist? That’s so southern,
curlers in the hair at the supermarket, Steel Magnolias of Ellen to call Cheryl Marks, Iggy’s interim mom, a mere “hairdresser”. For
anyone who’s been virtually headless while Ellen’s breaking down on
national television / puppy scandal made headlines on Fox News, CNN and
even NPR, Ellen and her live-in lady Portia de Rossi
adopted a pooch from a pair of hardcore animal rescue nut jobs with the
enviable moniker Mutts and Moms. When little Iggy didn’t get along with
Ellen and Portia’s pussy’s, Ellen bypassed an adoption agency policy
and gave the dog directly to her hairdresser and her adolescent girls. (Read more on the story here.) The
Mutts and Moms Gestapo went in to the hairdresser’s home flanked by
police and yanked the poor pooch from the home it had grown to love…
and then came Ellen’s impassioned on-air plea to give Iggy back to the
family that had bonded with him. Bravo to Ellen for causing a ruckus as
big as anything Big Rosie O’Donnell pulled on last season’s The View.
Now the world thinks we lezzies are a big ole bunch of over-the-top,
emotional, cry-babies—even if it is just a little bit true. It
was bound to happen. The seventh plague of Egypt has rained down on
Malibu’s debaucherous, opulent shores—home to many a millionaire celeb.
While Southern California’s wild fires are truly frightening, the more
bible-thumping among us might say the fires, which have jumped from the
beach in Malibu over the famed Pacific Coast Highway, are retribution
for Hollywood’s sins. But hell, it’s really just a good ole global
warming-induced drought in action. Among the celebs whose homes are fanning the Malibu blaze, are Olivia Newton John, Mel Gibson and Britney Spears. Also, Brit’s and Lindsay Lohan’s
ole spa—uh rehab—Promises, is in the line of fire. Other than
sweetie-pie Olivia’s house in the mix, there might be a pattern here.
Either Mel guzzled a pint of tequila and lit the fire with his breath
or Brit accidentally tossed her hand-rolled cig out the car window
while she was tossing her empty Frappuccino cup. Cuz, you just know
Brit’s the littering kind y’all. Meanwhile, BFF’s Courteney Cox
and Jennifer Anniston also own Malibu homes. They have some sort of
Game of Clue-like secret passageway to each other’s bedrooms. But
really, if Courteney and Jen find themselves scrambling for cover,
there are plenty of West Hollywood Lesbos who’ll gladly share their
beds. And just to illustrate the Weho lesbians’ munificence, David Arquette can couch surf and we’ll find a nice British nanny for baby Coco. Like Elizabeth Taylor and Debbie Reynolds
before them Empress Angelina Jolie and girl-next-door Jen Anniston have
become poster girls for the brunette v. blonde, man in the middle media
obsession that just won’t die. W Magazine has devised a plan to fan the flames of the three-way that never was—but would have been nice. For it’s November issue, W
is putting out two covers, one with Angelina of the Holy Order of
Pornographically Hot Lips, and one with Jen of the Holy Order of
Bangin’ Ass in a Bikini. Fans and pervs alike can pick the cover girl
of their choice. I’ve maintained that since Brad Pitt and Angie combusted upon meeting on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
Brad should have just called Jennifer and said, “Honey, I’m bringing
Angie home for a Ménage.” And that might have been the end of it. If
the Angie v. Jen cover girl thing doesn’t solve the media’s obsession,
I’m gunning for Jen and Ange to duke it out on a greased up rubber
sheet. Here’s this week’s down and dirty: Another in a long
line of post-modern Broadway musicals of a musical based on a film,
based on a true story that will be turned into a musical film with a
soundtrack and no one will remember where the story was originally
created. Talks are in the works for a musical version of the Nicole Kidman vehicle, To Die For, the Gus Van Sant opus that was loosely pulled from hot-ass Pamela Smart’s
true-crime story. Smart seduced a teenaged boy and convinced him to
kill her hubby. It’s all very sordid stuff, which of course makes for
great Showtunes. Meanwhile, check out the film To Die For, which was Kidman’s first foray into the depths of her eventual Oscar-winning talent. It also stars a trashy piece of boy meat Joaquin Phoenix, Matt Dillon as the smarmy husband, and an always underused Ileana Douglas as Dillon’s sister. Aussie Naomi Watts is slated to step into Tippi Hedren’s hen-pecked pumps for a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s apocalyptic masterpiece The Birds. You know, because Van Sant’s remake of Psycho was such a grand idea. Naomi’s pulled a hat trick of juicy roles including in Mullholland Drive, 21 Grams and most recently Eastern Promises but replace Tippi? Nobody gets pecked to within an inch of their life quite like Melanie Griffith’s mama Tippi. Pop-hottie Pink could soon be on the prowl, so says the New York Daily News. Sadly for Pink, the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” philandering policy Pink and her bad-boy hubby Carey Hart
signed, isn’t working out and the pair is headed for a quickie, Reno
style divorce. Pink recently made a load of girls gush when she turned
up for The Gymnast DVD release party at West Hollywood’s
Eleven. The lesbian community offers up a collective shoulder for Pink
to lay her head… It’s
Spice Girls redux. Those sassy, slightly-over-the-hill British babes
have reunited for a new tour and they’re kicking it off with their
latest bubblegum release “Friendship Never Ends.” Awww, lovely
sentiment. Friendship never ends when there are millions to be made
anyway…. Self-confessed and damned proud of it, bottom, Suzanne Westenhoefer’s show, Suzanne Westenhoefer: A Bottom on Top
airs on Logo this week. A side-clutching, gasp-for-air-comedian,
Suzanne’s show was captured by entrepreneur turned damned fine
filmmaker Andrea Meyerson, who’s breaking the myth that lesbians aren’t funny with her Laughing Matters series. For
those out of the L.A. loop, Meyerson—founder of L.A.’s largest women’s
outings group, Women on a Roll—also nabbed herself a rep as a lesbian
Yenta. Her Cupid’s arrows are so precise she could blow those
homo-haters over at eHarmony.com out of the water with the girl on girl
matches she’s made. Heck, my girl and I met on Andrea’s annual
booze-cruise on a yacht in Marina Del Rey. Thanks for pricking me with
your arrow Andrea! Miss last week's Media Blender? Read it here.

Spice Girl Melanie C has said that rumours she was a lesbian "pissed her off."
The singer, 33, was nicknamed 'Butch Spice' when the band split in 2001, after she put on weight and cropped her hair.
She was also dogged by rumours of an affair with her female assistant.
But
the star - who has been dating "semi-professional beard" Thomas Starr
for the past five years - insists they are nothing but cheap jibes.
Mel
told women's mag Cosmopolitan: "At first that [the lesbian rumours]
made me laugh because it wasn't something that ever crossed my mind.
"And
then it kind of pissed me off when I thought, “Because I have short
hair and am quite muscular with a few tattoos, am I the stereotypical
lesbian?”
But she concedes that the rumours may have been
beneficial to her solo career: "I don't think it did
me any harm. I've always had a huge lesbian and gay following."
OK, so this magazine, called OK, is reporting that Heath Ledger is in negotiations to reprise his role as Ennis Del Mar in gay cowboy love story Brokeback Mountain.
The lovely Jake Gyllenhaal's character Jack Twist will not be returning, what with him being dead and everything, but an "insider" told the glossy chick mag:
"It will follow the nasty process of being openly gay in 1963 Wyoming.
"Ennis will finally come out of the closet."
Good news.
"Hey! Old Greg Knight's a winner through and through!"
It's not many politicians that can boast their very own song - East Yorkshire MP Greg Knight (58) is a member of that exclusive club!
Only right for the Ringo in the House of Commons' very own Beatles.
See! Images of Greg going about his business! He supports farmers! He has met David Cameron! He likes post offices!
And hear! Greg's very own theme tune - follow the link below.
Revelations from 'N Sync towers - out former boyband member Lance Bass has revealed that at one point he only thought 40% of the band were straight.
(40% cos we assume he knew HE was into guys)
Lance, who declared his homosexuality to a shocked and emotional America last year, has been blabbing about Justin Timberlake.
"We thought Justin was gay, because he told us he wanted to do a gay part in a movie," he said.
Hmm. What a random thing to aspire to. Just a "gay part" in "a movie." We will let your imaginations decide what sort of movie.
Anyway. So the Bass then went on to say that many thought 'N Sync's Chris Kirkpatrick might also be up for some mano a mano.
"We thought Chris was gay because he used to hang out with a choreographer."
I wonder how many of 'N Sync were secretly wondering if Lance Bass was a gay man? Answers on a postcard.
