I love you so much.

Justin Bieber: Roasted

"Justin has fans in middle school or staying 500 feet away from one."

Ludacris:

"You act so much like a pussy, Ellen [DeGeneres] tried to eat you."

Martha Stewart:

"Sixty million Twitter followers? The only place people will be following you in jail is into the shower."

"Justin, you're so pretty, when inmates see your mug shot, they swipe right."

Bit ironic when you start by mocking getting someone's name wrong.

Obviously Fagburn never makes any mistakes or hilarious fuck-ups like this - hell no!

DOMA: Huzzah For Hollywood!

Not long after the Supreme Court ruled in support of gay marriage Wednesday, Ellen DeGeneres tweeted a simple congratulations to "everyone. And I mean everyone." But she could have added: in Hollywood.
For while the landmark decision may have thrilled gay rights activists and vexed opponents of gay marriage, the news otherwise didn't have the thunderclap moment of court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education or Roe v. Wade.
Why? The nation's pop culture machine has for decades now chipped away at a once taboo topic so as to render it utterly familiar. Whether it's the antics of two gay men in the hit ABC comedy Modern Family or the brazen but heartfelt sexuality on display in HBO's Behind the Candelabra, same-sex unions seem – at least on screen and on stage – to be an entrenched part of our federal union...

USA Today.

Can freedom be won by sitting round watching television?
They quote Harvey Fierstein; "The psychology of television is that it's in your house, you're in your underwear. It's very intimate. So the exposure of gay people – no matter what they are – it shows them as the norm, as a normal part of life. All of those things really do add up."
They're also whooping it up over on E! Online with Gay Marriage: A Look At Same-Sex Loving Characters In Movies.
"Looking for a way to celebrate the end of DOMA? How about a movie night?"
We're here! We're same-sex loving! And we're going to the multiplex!

In a second feature E! has a better idea; "What better way to celebrate the overturning of the Defense of Marriage Act than with a gay TV wedding? With lots of them!
"In honor of this historic day, we pulled together a list of gay TV couples whose weddings we want to see (and attend!) come the fall season, so break out your formalwear and start dusting off your dancing shoes, 'cause we're heading to the chapel..."
Front runners are - go on, guess - Kurt and Blaine from Glee (remember when that was a "thing"?), and Mitch and Cam from Modern Family.
Hollywood Reporter reports that series co-creator, Christopher Lloyd, thinks post-DOMA Mitch and Cam getting hitched is "a real possibility".
I guess gushing features like these do support Fierstein's thesis of popular cultural normalisation, merely by being run on the big US meeja with barely a squeak.
At least Queerty's Hollywood's Gay Marriage Conspiracy: It Worked! went through all this - again - with a sense of irony and perspective.

Marriage: Tories Disgruntled, Feel Conflicted

Sunday Times.

We've finally found an alternative to illustrate a story about gay marriage that's not some cake toppers.
A hot babe in a state of undress.
Wouldn't mind "marrying" her, eh lads?
PHWOAR!

Update: Wonderfully bonkers piece in the Torygraph. 

Statistic Of The Day: It's Not, It's Not, It's Not, Not A Sin

Americans who believe being gay is a sin are now a minority — a shift that a Southern Baptist-affiliated research group links to President Barack Obama's changed opinion of gay marriage.
A November survey from Nashville-based LifeWay Research found 37 percent of Americans polled said "yes" when asked if homosexual behavior is a sin. Forty-five percent said it was not. Seventeen percent didn't know.
That's a major change from LifeWay's September 2011 survey, when 44 percent said homosexuality was a sin, 43 percent said it wasn't and 13 percent didn't know...

Anthea Butler, associate professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, said that politics, culture and demographics have played a role in the growing acceptance of homosexuality. She pointed to Obama's support of gay marriage as well as gay rights victories in four state elections this past fall.
There's also the popularity of gay celebrities such as talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
"Who wouldn't want to take their grandmother to see her show?"

Apart from Eleen, this, my friends, only adds to my interesting new theory that the world may - just possibly - be fucked.

Twilight: Bloodsucker Blues

"It's amazing that they're already talking about another [Twilight sequel] before this one has even come out. I was also thinking another way to do it would be to make it look like Will and Grace, where Edward turns gay, but they still stay together, and they raise the kid and everything."

Robert Pattinson talking to Ellen.

Don't think I'm alone in wishing Taylor Lautner would go gay - his character in Twilight, I mean.

Ellen: Ellen!

"But first, a new study finds that studies are disturbing..."

Ellen on marriage equality, Prop 8, and consumer boycotts by anti-gay hate groups.
Don't worry, she explains it all in the video.
Brava Ellen!
