Put John McCain Down For One Lettuce Spinner On
DeGeneres/De Rossi CB2 Registry [Institutions]

post from Defamer on 22 May 2008 06:09:40 PM. © Defamer

Who among us wasn't reduced to a useless, blubbering pile of lady-lovin' shmaltz upon learning from groom-to-be Ellen DeGeneres that she had asked for Portia de Rossi's hand shortly following the California Supreme Court's landmark same-sex marriage ruling? On today's show, presumptive Republican Party nominee John McCain stopped by to court its audience of all-important swing-dancers, and quickly found himself squarely in the crosshairs.

Asked to address the "big, gay, veil-wearing elephant in the room," McCain calmly explained his position on the matter—that while civil unions were acceptable, the sacrament of marriage should still remain the exclusive domain of twitchy, war-gaga torture-survivors and the opioid-popping women who love them. DeGeneres found his stance unacceptable, comparing it to segregationist policies of the South. We stand in solidarity: Let us now throw off the shackles of 5,000 years of heterosexual oppression and greet the winds of change, in a brave new America where Gays can drink freely from the same champagne fountains as their breeder brothers and sisters. Can we get a "Hallelujah?"

Argh! I Hate My Cell Phone Company SO MUCH Right
Now! [A Call To The Bullpen]

post from Defamer on 22 May 2008 05:43:30 PM. © Defamer

boomp3.com

In a scene that was eerily reminiscent of the film Network, actress Uma Thurman stuck her head out her building's window and publicly vented frustrations about her cell phone company. Thurman's action inspired a man in the building across the street to yell about his frustration with his cable company's lack of HD channels, which caused the man on the floor below him to yell back that he should look into getting satellite television. As is wont to happen in New York City, the two men got into a very loud and public debate over satellite vs. cable. Thurman saw the men across yelling and yelled at them, "Hey, don't ruin my moment with a bunch of bullshit HD talk. This was about me and my issues with my phone, dingus."

Out, Out and Away as TV Prepares for World's
First Gay Superhero [Gays]

post from Defamer on 22 May 2008 05:20:00 PM. © Defamer

The recent spike in comics franchises and other superhero entertainment could soon take an especially fabulous turn if Perry Moore gets his way. The novelist and Chronicles of Narnia co-producer (pictured) blabbed to Vulture this week about negotiations to adapt his young adult novel Hero — about Thom Creed, "the world's first gay superhero" — for TV; Moore expects a deal with one of two unnamed networks any day now, but he isn't waiting around to affirm its credibility among gays, fanboys, gay fanboys, executives and myriad other demographic permutations:

He described the live-action series as labyrinthine and similar to Lost. "It's not campy either — it's not The Gayest American Hero. He just happens to be gay. It's just one of the many things he wrestles with."

Moore, a longtime Walden Media executive, was one of the passel of producers on the Narnia movies, but sounds dramatically more excited about the producer who's helping shepherd Hero along: Stan Lee. "The ultimate fanboy moment," Moore calls the first phone call from "legend" Lee. "Just to have a straight older man who's the comic-book legend of all time ... just to have him think that the next big movie is my humble little creation about the world's first gay superhero — it was just wonderful. Wonderful!"

We're excited, too, if only for another moody, marquee franchise role in the making for Shia LeBeouf. Well, that and to see what the Happy Meal tie-in looks like.
