When something makes the purple section of USA Today, does that mean it’s arrived,

or that it’s so hopelessly uncool that a teenager will never look at it again? Because that’s what’s happened to It Gets Better.

I would like to make it known that when I saw how good

Nickelodeon’s Robbie Amell looked

shirtless on Cartoon Network’s Scooby Doo

and the Lake Monster Saturday night, I immediately checked to make sure he

was legal. And he’s 22-years-old, so feel free to give him the once over.

This interview with Degrassi:

The Next Generation’s Shannon

Kook-Chun (Zane) touches on the fact that he knew Agris Karras (Riley) before he was cast, but had no problems making

out with his friend. Who would?

Osama bin-Laden is

living in relative comfort in Northwest Pakistan. So ends

the world’s least intense game of Where’s Waldo?

I suppose that if any board game was going to be dipped in

gold and be encrusted with diamonds, it should be Monopoly. You’ll need $2 million of real money to

buy this.

Tentatively, Judge

Virginia Phillips has declined to stay her order halting Don’t Ask, Don’t

Tell. The government has asked for an administrative stay so it can appeal to

the 9^th Circuit. In declining the stay, she said “The arguments by

the government are vague … and belied by the evidence produced at trial.” Ouch.

With the Olympics hitting London in 2012, the Glastonbury

Music Festival is being canceled. It’s not that they think people wouldn’t

flock to both, but there just aren’t enough porta-potties in all the land to

support both events.

Fox 2000 is trying to tempt Ryan Murphy into remaking Rocky

Horror Picture Show – the actual movie. I hope that he has enough

integrity to not just say no, but convince them that it should never, ever be

attempted.

John C. Reilly is

joining Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, and Christoph Waltz in the God

of Carnage big screen adaption of the award winning play.

Hollywood can’t help itself, it just wants everyone to

forgive Mel Gibson. So he’s getting a cameo in Hangover 2.

I’m not surprised that Law

& Order: Los Angeles got a full season order, but color me impressed that Outsourced got one. The Event was a tossup for me.

I hope that Justin

Bieber does speak out against anti-gay bullying following the incident at

the laser tag center over the weekend. If he needs any more encouragement about

how bad things are for gay kids, he only has to read the comments in posts about the incident.

million to Paramount to get Iron Man 3

(2013) and The Avengers back, but

they left Captain America with

Paramount.

The Lion King had

several deaths, fire and violence, but still got a G rating. So why can’t any modern animated films like Tangled do the same? PG used to be the

kiss of death for animation.

That official Vatican newspaper is claiming Homer Simpson is a Catholic. This brings up a couple thoughts: 1) Reverend Lovejoy might disagree; 2) Are

they so low on modern role models that Homer Simpson sounds like an upgrade?

The Pleo robotic dinosaur

has been reborn, and I so want one for Christmas.

The New York Times

is turning up the Gray Lady’s nose at Deadspin and the

media reporting Brett Favre’s peen

pictures. As it ticks off the examples of pocketbook journalism, there’s just a

hint of sour grapes.

Are the Real

Housewives really flesh eating zombies? No, because that I would

watch.

Kanye West’s

banned album cover is NSFA (Not Safe for Anyone, but definitely not work).

My Name Is Earl

star Jason Lee is going to guest on Raising

Hope.

Lady Gaga is in the studio, churning out music for us to drool over. She looks so dressed down.

The flawless torso has a point. But he's well on his way.

Jackass's Bam Margera tweeted out this picture saying "Getting gay in New York!!!"

I'm hoping this isn't a single litter. Alt: What? Where do you keep your puppies?

Keep in mind this is just Trevor Donovan shopping, no makeup or lighting crews to make him look this good.

He really does have classic leading man looks.

Just a reminder that Wednesday, October 20, 2010 is Spirit Day to remember those we lost to suicide. Plan to wear purple in their memory.

GLAAD can help you turn your Twitter or Facebook icon purple.

Last week South Park took on Jersey Shore. This week they're doing double duty, taking on both Hoarders and Inception. They're in danger of overdoing the theme episodes, much like Glee.

As has been long established, I love monkeys. I have also been known to sample a cocktail or two in my day. So when the BBC presents alcoholic vervet monkeys on St. Kitt, I was pretty much lost for the evening. As a bonus prize, I've been able to say monkey repeatedly without worry someone was going to correct me with "ape" or "chimp."

There are many things to love about Supernatural. Jensen Ackles is pretty much perfect, and I'd love to date Dean for a couple weeks. Jared Padalecki is growing on me, especially after his workout scene last week. And Sam is less annoying since he came back from hell. And of course there's Misha Collins as Castiel. Then there are the delightfully meta episodes. I can't wait to see what we get from an episode titled "Live Free or Twi Hard."

Here's the first trailer for Simon Pegg's long gestating alien film Paul. It has potential, but execution will be key, as is any project that Pegg undertakes. He's occasionally too clever for his own good.

Video: Exclusive: Paul - Trailer

Margaret Cho wants everyone to know, it gets better. Even when you lose on a dancing show, it gets so much better.

Anti-gay California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman is spending like crazy to get elected. But look at all the jobs she's creating!

I really don't know what's up with MTV's Josh Horowitz. First there was the interview he did cuddled in a guys lap. Now he's doing an art video with Danny McBride, in a blond wig, and dropping trou. I don't know what he's reviewing (we pay him as a movie critic), or the statement he's trying to make. And why those boxer shorts, if this was scripted?

On The View, the ladies discussed Vince Vaughan's opposition to removing the "that's gay" joke from The Dilemma. Whoopi uses the slippery slope argument, which is a bit beneath her (remember, I wanted it gone from the green band trailer, I just think it's lazy and stupid in the movie itself and am not opposed).Sherri, well, Sherri is Sherri. And Whoopi's argument about Roots, well, I agree with her there, because you lose the historical impact, within context. But it's not nearly the same situation. And Barbara is also correct bleeping her during daytime.
