WILL YOUNG: LEAVE RIGHT NOW

I saw Will's video posted over at Yummy of the Day. Will performed this song live on the American Idol finale and I immediately loved it (it usually takes many listenings before I love a song). Will was the first winner of Pop Idol, which spawned American Idol and Idols all over the world, and after came out after winning Pop Idol. This is his official video followed by his AI performance. Will's new album, Leave Right Now, dropped on May 25th.

OZZY MAKES HIS FAN SCREAM!

This vid is so worth a minute of your time. With all the crappy news and events, this minute of fun is sure to make you smile. I think more stars should do this - I know I would.

Ozzy Osbourne visited Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in New York. While there he spent some time sitting on a bench and not moving. People thought he was the wax version of himself. When people came close he would jump up and scare them.

The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn


Lots of comics this week. Just how many years ago was The Ambiguously Gay Duo? Here is a 30 minute collection of what must be all of their skits. Still funny after all these years.

**BREAKING NEWS** DADT OVER?! CAN IT BE TRUE?



Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, May 24, 2010; 7:51 PM




President Obama has signed on to a "don't ask, don't tell" compromise between lawmakers and the Defense Department, the White House announced Monday, an agreement that removes a key obstacle to repealing the military's policy banning gays and lesbians from serving openly in the armed forces.

THIS STORY
Obama endorses 'don't ask, don't tell' compromise in Congress
'Don't ask, don't tell' votes likely to be close
Obama extends hospital visitation rights to same-sex couples
Under the compromise, worked out in a series of meetings Monday at the White House and on Capitol Hill, lawmakers will proceed to repeal the Clinton-era policy in the next several days, but that action will not go into effect until the Pentagon completes a study about implementing the repeal.

In a letter to lawmakers pushing for a repeal, the White House wrote Monday that "such an approach recognizes the critical need to allow our military and their families the full opportunity to inform and shape the implementation process through a thorough understanding of their concerns, insights and suggestions."

Gay rights advocates hailed the White House decision as a "dramatic breakthrough" that they predicted would dismantle the policy once and for all.

MUG SHOT MONDAY















For some reason and without warning, one of my favorite blogs closed shop -- AGAIN -- hip n edgy and before that famous like me. If you know why or where Donnie has gone, I'd appreciate knowing. Until then, I have decided to do my own version of one of my favorite weekly posts of his -- MUG SHOT MONDAY. My version will be somewhat different and will hopefully improve.

TODAY: Call Swarm Congress On DADT

Servicemembers United is asking everybody to call their members of Congress today in a "last chance" effort on DADT.
Another chance for you to be a part of history is coming on Monday, May 24, 2010 with Servicemembers United's "GIVE 'EM HELL - Congressional Call Swarm" campaign. Next week, the Senate Armed Services Committee and the full House of Representatives will debate and vote on finally repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) law. This is our LAST CHANCE to flood congressional offices with phone calls to send the message that support for repealing DADT is overwhelming.
We are no longer asking. We are DEMANDING that DADT be repealed THIS YEAR. We all have worked long and hard for this time to come. Now that it's here, we cannot let the opportunity slip. Please join us on Monday, May 24th and help us flood our congressional offices with phone calls demanding repeal of DADT immediately.
Step 1) Call the DC offices of each of your state's two Senators
Step 2) Call the DC office of your district's federal Representative
And finally, to all those still serving on active duty under the cloud of DADT, KEEP FIGHTING FOR US AND WE'LL KEEP FIGHTING FOR YOU.

UNDER THE DOME by STEPHEN KING

I have been a Stephen King fan since high school and have read almost all of his novels. The first half of his career was the best. The middle 25-35% was only fair but the last 15% has seen a nice comeback.

Like many of King's books, Under the Dome is big, close to 1100 pages but this one reads very fast and is a page turner in the true sense of the word. The pacing is excellent and for every interesting problem that arrises, something is resolved. The biggest problem I had with this book is having seen The Simpson's Movie and trying to keep it out of my mind.

In addition to the scifi element of the dome, King explores small town politics, small town violence, small town kinship, crystal meth, murder, rape, corruption, religion, teabaggers and very pleasingly (at least for me) the media and military and the effect of the dome on this town and the world.

JAKEY POO AND ADAM

My guy Jakey will be on Jonathan Ross tonight on BBC America along with Adam Lambert. If you have never seen Jonathan Ross, you're in for a treat. He's a married, straight guy in his 40's, his "band" is 4 very gay guys and a piano, he has an interactive style and he's not afraid to go there.

Here's Adam's new single, If I Had You, a great song to drive to, which he performed live on Oprah a few months ago.


TRUE GAGA



Kelly posted this video over at Rambling Along in Life and I couldn't agree with him more. HBO and Lady GaGa need to get together and use this to promote True blood. I guess they should include the video's creator too. A gay match made in heaven.

And because this is such a sexy, hot video, here's Lady GaGa's Teeth.

JOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK

I've heard great reviews of this film and can't wait to see it.

BEWERE TRUE BLOOD


In the latest in a series of promotional posters for the hit vampire drama True Blood, HBO is hinting at things — namely werewolves — to come. Joe Manganiello has signed on to play werewolf Alcide Herveaux, a season 3 love interest for Anna Paquin‘s Sookie Stackhouse. In the books by Charlaine Harris that the show is based on, Alcide helps Sookie search for her beloved vampire beau Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer), who went missing at the end of season 2. Sookie isn’t the only one getting a love interest. Southland star Kevin Alejandro is joining the cast as well to play Jesus, who will catch the eye of Lafayette, Bon Temps flashy short-order cook. Could he be another wolf in sheep’s clothing?

This poster may give us a taste of what the werewolves on True Blood will look like (in wolf form, we’ve already seen what they look like in man form) but a new promo video, also released this week, gives us a real peek at what they will look like.

THE FARGONATOR = HOT GEEK



I couldn't find any pics online and I don't know how to take screen caps or if that was  even possible so I had to take pics of the paused Youtube video off of my computer. I think they turned out pretty good. Eureka starts its fourth season Friday, July 9th at 9pm est.

A BUFFY QUESTION

So I'm watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Logo as I do most nights and a question burns into my mind for not the first time. The episode is "Bargaining," the one where Willow and Tara bring Buffy back from the dead after she defeated Glory. Why isn't a new slayer called? When Buffy died the first time, Kendra was called and then when Kendra died Faith was called. At first I thought it might be because Buffy had died once already but in the final episodes where they are battling The First, they repeatedly say that the potentials won't be called until Buffy dies. So did I miss the explanation? Can you fill me in? Your thoughts?
