Beverly Hills Hotel/Sharia Law; Blogger Copyrights; What's Gluten Free?
Beverly Hills Hotel/Sharia Law
I've been posting the story about The Beverly Hills Hotel and how it's run by a company named Dorchester and a CEO from a country, Brunei, that enforces some of the worst crime laws and corporal punishments in the world with LGBTI people. This is all enacted through Shari Law...Sharia. The matter only continues to grow more controversial, and now there's a new trade pact with Brunei supported by the President of t...

Brooke Birmingham & Shape Magazine; Gay Writer Labels; Johnny Weir AGAIN
Brooke Birmingham & Shape Magazine
There's a blogger, brookenotonadiet.com, who has been writing about her incredible weight loss journey online since 2009 and she lost a considerable amount of weight. In the process, she's inspired thousands. Someone at Shape Magazine discovered her and wanted to share her story with more people who they thought would be interested in her success story. They exchanged a few e-mails, the blogger sent an innocent photo, and Shape Magazine ultimate...

Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, and the Creepiest Literary Agent of all Time
Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, and the Creepiest Literary Agent of all Time
Maybe it's just me, but I thought we'd already heard all there was to the Monica Lewinsky/Bill Clinton deal several times over. Maybe it's just me but I honestly don't care to hear about Lewinsky giving head to the President of the United States in the Oval Office anymore. And maybe it's just me, but I'm also a little sick and tired of Vanity Fair publishing this content time and time again. This one is for t...

Gay Grindr Murder/Rape; Yelp Review Controversy; Penis to Rooster Leash
Gay Grindr Murder/Rape
I posted about a young man from Canada who was raped and robbed in the Philadelphia area a few weeks ago after he hooked up with someone through Grindr and now there are two more incidents in the Philadelphia area to report that are even more frightening. This time an adorable, talented young guy was murdered, and a public prosecutor was arrested for allegedly raping a sixteen year old boy...all allegedly through Grindr.
Here's the incident...

Porn's Chris Harder; Death of LGBT Publishing?
Porn's Chris Harder
Here's a link to an article, below, that's written by a gay porn star, Chris Harder, about the typical day of a porn star. He eats nothing but chicken all week long, goes to Duane Reade for fleet enemas (yup), and shops seventh avenue for jock strap fabric. It's actually very well written, and far more humble (and humorous) than anything I've read in a long time. I don't even know who he is and I like him already.

More Ben Affleck; Gay Orgy Sculpture; Kirk Cameron Gay Marriage
More Ben Affleck
When I posted about Affleck last week the article to which I linked wasn't as in-depth as it could have been, so here's more about the notorious Vegas card counting kerfuffle and a few facts that most headlines seem to ignore. One of which is that Affleck was not banned from the casino for good. According to them, he's welcome at any time and they still love him.
An earlier story by celebrity news outlet TMZ.com said Affleck had been banned for life from the casino f...

JK Rowling on Hogwarts; Book Promotion Boot Camp; 9 Rejected Great Books
JK Rowling on Hogwarts
It's been sixteen years since the Battle of Hogwarts and JK Rowling tweeted about it this morning.
Rowling confessed that she “hated killing some of those people.” As of this writing, the Harry Potter author’s message has been re-tweeted more than 83,000 times. Which of the characters do you love most?
There's more here. I've never read the Harry Potter series, but love Rowling's other fiction. I always feel as if I'm missing out on something. But that kind of kid/fantasy...

Was Mary Poppins a Lesbian?
Was Mary Poppins a Lesbian?
Last night we rented Saving Mr. Banks on demand, without really knowing much about it, or how it would be focused. It turned out to be much better than I'd anticipated, but only on the surface. Like all films of this nature there was the usual Hollywood spin and late last night I wound up researching the author of the Mary Poppins series, PL Travers. And I was amazed at what I discovered that hadn't been mentioned in the film about Trav...

CheapUndies.com; Richard Branson Boycotts Dorchester; Ben Affleck Banned
CheapUndies.com
The more scholarly book bloggers and pinch-faced critics wouldn't post about this. They're far too grand. They post about Marxist Theories of Self-Publishing (I'm not joking...but you might like it; I'll read it eventually) and other topics similar to this where you could literally drop dead from boredom just clicking the link. But I thought this link to the web site, Cheapundies.com, was worth posting because it's fun, people are laughing and having fun, hot guys are...

James Franco Nude Selfie; Dustin Lance Black Is Back; Sam Champion and Josh Elliot On TV
James Franco Nude Selfie
This is one of those things that bothers me about some celebrities. They don't know when to stop. Publicity hungry James Franco will sneer at publications like TMZ and bloggers and yet he'll post an almost nude selfie, with his cheap drawers down below his waist and one hand over his dick, in a bathroom mirror. And then he'll change his mind, take the photo down after enough people have screen shots, and he'll complain that his privacy was violated the next time h...
