Ellen DeGeneres is getting back into the sitcom game with a new gay-interest comedy for NBC. She's developing—not starring—in One Big Happy, about  gay and straight best friends whose decision to have a baby is complicated when one falls in love. (Kind of sounds like the plot of Gayby).

Written by Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls) the show also shares common ground with The New Normal, but won't aim to be as earnest as the failed Ryan Murphy dramedy.

Which house would a gay kid at Hogwarts join? (Slytherin, right?)

Melissa Etheridge has released "Uprising of Love", a new track urging unity and understanding even as it draws attention to the plight of gays and lesbians in Russia.

Says the rocker:

The lyrics of "Uprising of Love" came from such a personal and passionate spot in my soul and I'm more than excited to share this anthem with the world ...

Love is intangible and unpredictable, but it's the one feeling that is universally experienced and desired by all.

And Lady E is putting her money where her voice is: Proceeds from the song are being donated to the Russia Freedom Fund and Etheridge's own Uprising of Love coalition, which has aligned with stars like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, James Franco, Edward Norton, and Julianne Moore.

The newly released power-ballad is now available as a free download.

NBC isn't saving Sean Hayes' sitcom Sean Saves the World. The network has halted production on the sitcom with four episodes still left to film. The show, which is on hiatus, was scheduled to return after the Winter Olympics—but now even that's up in the air. That doesn't bode well for the Megan Mullally episode we were all excited for.

NBC probably won't make a final announcement about the show's fate until May.

Coca-Cola, a major sponsor of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, invited fans to virtual Coke cans with personalized messages on its website as part of the Share a Coke”  campaign. Visitors could create a digital can with "I Love Susie" or "Go Seahawks" on it, but if you tried to include the word "gay," you'd receive the message “Oops. Let’s pretend you didn’t just type that. Please try another name.”

The site did accept words like “heterosexual” and “straight,” suggesting that “gay” was included on its list of inappropriate words. By Tuesday, as media outlets reported on the issue—and LGBT activist groups zapped the campaign with anti-Sochi messages—the  "Share a Coke" function was disabled.

“We are aware that the Share A Coke promotion we are running in South Africa has generated an unintended outcome. We apologize for any offense caused," said a spokesperson for the cola company.“The digital version of the Share a Coke promotion did not properly limit the customization to individuals’ names. We’ve taken down the site and are in the process of revising the digital tool immediately." He added that Coke has “long been a strong supporter of the LGBT community and have advocated for inclusion, equality and diversity" in its practices and policies.

Obscenity filters blocking LGBT vocabulary and content has become a growing issue—Au Bon Pain recently issued an apology for blocking Internet access to GLAAD and other sites.
