Battlestar Galactica's James Callis has joined Arrow. He'll be playing The Dodger, a jewel thief who forces innocent people to steal for him.

Spencer Cox, AIDS activist, ACT UP member, and a founder of the Treatment Action Group has passed away at the age of 44. Larry Kramer remembers him. "As someone who was in a room in the same hospital as Spencer and at the same time, and who is having his own awful and painful heath problems, it is hard to fall into denial about what we still dont know and have yet to find out, to save our own lives, the lives of Spencer, and yes, Larry too. With sweet Spencer's death went an enormous body of instinct that far surpassed many of the 'educated' doctors he had to deal with."

The final version of the Defense Budget does not have the ban on same-sex weddings on military bases that the House wanted, but it does have a watered down version of the "conscience clause" which says that just being a bigot can't hurt your career unless you act on it. Final language isn't available, but it sounds vague enough to be a problem.

Rosie O'Donnell says that she's talking to producers about joining America's Got Talent next year. This might actually be a great fit for Rosie, very variety show, but you don't have to be very mean.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act has been stalled forever in Congress, but Rep. Jared Polis and Senator Jeff Merkley are planning a new push to get action on the bill, which gets very little oxygen as marriage equality dominates the conversation.

That picture of Darren Criss from the "Men of McKinley Calendar" has been causing a lot of confusion online, and after 5,000+ retweets, it has been removed from Ryan Murphy's account, and indeed, all of Murphy's tweets were wiped out, with the exception of a note that he'd be back next year.

Married…With Children's David Faustino is headed to Modern Family to meet up with Claire at her college reunion. Sadly, he's not planned to have any scenes with his previous onscreen father, Ed O'Neill.

I really started to relate to this writer's story of his skinny arm complex, because I too have had issues with body image caused by a slight frame. Then he started in on the need to conform and the end of the gay ghettos and how he never fit in to gay culture, and I really wanted to smack him, because as soon as someone starts talking about not identifying with gay culture (particularly while drooling over muscleboys), he has an incredibly sad, narrow definition of gay culture and should be kept away from keyboards.

NBC has picked up Hollywood Game Night from Sean Hayes, which will basically center around his famous game nights at home, but welcome two regular folks into the classic games with a group of celebrities. This makes what, five series that Hayes has on the air? Of the principle cast members of Will & Grace, who really believed that it would be Hayes who went on to dominate Hollywood? Anyone?

Scientists have some ideas for what caused Rudolph's red nose. Personally, I think he had a massive coke problem.

Dolly Parton says “I’m not gay. If I was gay, I would have come out of the closet just a-flying.” Many of us do, Dolly, which is how we get mistaken for unicorns.

Bully, the controversial documentary that almost didn't make it to theaters, is being honored with the Stanley Kramer Award from the Producers Guild.

My friend Andrés Duque at Blabbeando takes you step by step through the "controversy" of the nativity scene in Colombia with two Josephs and no Mary. The short version? The photo is a year old, the mainstream media didn't bother checking any facts, and nobody cared. But it really is worth reading the whole tale, just so you know how bad journalism has gotten.

The surest sign the world is coming to an end this weekend: Bret Easton Ellis has apologized for something.

Gareth Thomas has signed up for Stars On Ice, and is partnered with Robin Johnstone

We've been hearing about the "homo-sex art film" that James Franco is making with Travis Mathews called Interior. Leather Bar, which is supposed to be about all those things that got left out of Cruising. And now we have a teaser for the project, that's both NSFW and really pretty SFW at the same time. Frankly, it seems a bit boring at this point, but it's hard to tell.

What is completely NSFW is College Humor's take on Looper, which probably has some plot points on the movie revealed, and the guys are nowhere near as hot as Joseph Gordon-Levitt or even Bruce Willis, but it does have the blessing of Levitt, so that's something. I would have made time to see this version in the theater.

In the latest version of Neil's Puppet Dreams, Neil dreams up a To Catch a Predator fantasy, and while it's clever, I keep wondering when the go-go boys and wild scenes from the series teaser are going to show up. As a bonus, it does have David Burtka in his boxer shorts.

Even though Amanda Seyfried is out promoting Les Miserables, Conan took time to ask her about playing Linda Lovelace in Deep Throat, and the actress was perfectly happy to share what was used as a stand in for peen in the famous sex scenes, and she shared in fairly graphic detail.

iJustine and Harry Shum, Jr. bring "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" to a lively danceable turn in this video benefitting charity. That man can really, really move.

Finally, Anne Hathaway has a potty mouth, and someone had to say it. She teams up with Samuel L. Jackson for a Sad Off to determine which of their Christmas movies is most depressing. I don't really get why Christmas movies have to be so serious. Can't they release Despicable Me 2 on Christmas so I could go have a laugh after dealing with my family all day?
