Along the way, we lament the lack of non-martial arts roles for Asian American actresses, debate whether Harry Potter's Hermione can properly be considered an "action hero," and argue over the value of women in Bond movies.

Along the way they discuss Lloyd Webber’s uncanny resemblance to Austin Powers, and Penny breaks out her spot on impression of a heavily medicated Laura Bush.

The 19th annual GLAAD media awards were held in Hollywood on Saturday, and the the event was impressively heavy on star power.  The ceremony was hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, but Kathy Griffin opened the show — during her act she invited her mother onstage to quiz her about her knowledge of the LGBT community.

The biggest award of the evening, the Vanguard Award, was given to Janet Jackson. Said Jackson in her acceptance speech, "To everyone at GLAAD and everyone in this room, I would just like to say that I hope I can always walk worthy of this award that I have both in my hand and my heart."

 

 

Mark Ronson Gets His Makeup Done ... by Santogold!

 

I knew these two were buddy-buddy, but this is just adorable! The Sun posted a pseudo-viral video - I guess? - of newcomer Santogold on the set of her "LES Artistes" video with Mark Ronson. I'm way obsessed with the Santogold album at the moment, P.S.; you better listen.

In the video, Santi enters her trailer and finds the way-sexy DJ gettin' all done up! Marcia's really a natural at applying that mascara...
