I never thought I’d get to write that Gossip Girl’s Eric was getting a storyline, much less a dark, interesting storyline. Oh, and he’s going to be a gay boy with daddy issues. But these might

be interesting. Image via the always reliable Tyler Shields.

CBS News reporter Lara

Logan was the victim of “brutal and sustained sexual assault”

while covering the celebrations in Egypt last week. She’s now back in the

country and recovering.

This was just plain mean. And more than a little funny.

Remember the rage the Republicans had last year when Stephen Colbert testified in front of

Congress? How do you think they’ll react when the Democrats march in Big Bird and Cookie Monster to testify on behalf of the Corporation for Public

Broadcasting, which the Republicans want to defund.

Doug Manchester,

besieged by both gay activists and unions for years, has agreed to sell the Manchester Grand Hyatt for $570

million. Somehow, him getting richer wasn’t the comeuppance I was hoping for.

The pilot formerly known as Chicks & Dicks has cast hunky Jake

M. Johnson and Greek alum Max

Greenfield.

The Village Voice reports that one of

the cast members of The A List: New York has submitted pictures of his member to Playgirl.

With a little ab work with a trainer, he could actually appear in the magazine.

Jury is out on whether this would be seen as besmirching the name of The A List, or enhancing it.

The Mike and Molly episode with guest

star Robert Gant hit a series high in the ratings. What was it Jesse Tyler Ferguson said, “Write It Gay?”

Billy Ray Cyrus

says that Hannah Montana destroyed his family, and that his family was “attacked by

Satan.”

I could do without the headline, but I can totally appreciate the sentiment about Christiane Amanpour. Much respect.

For those of you who like your gay men a little gruffer, and

a lot more funny, you might want to have A Drink With Dave.

South Dakota has a bill up this year that for all intents

and purposes, makes shooting a doctor who provides abortion services

justifiable homicide. Hey, Republicans, how about the economy, stupid?

Murder music king Buju

Banton is actually doing pretty well in his trial on drug trafficking

charges. But I can’t help but chuckle that it’s ruining him financially. He blames gay activists for

everything.

Donald Trump

appreciates that New York has a lot of gays, but he doesn’t support gay marriage. Just a bunch of

marriages for billionaires with really bad comb overs.

In the ongoing debate in Texas over sales tax from Amazon, (Republican)

politicians are claiming that Texas lost $600 million in taxes. But since that

would have been paid by Texas citizens, and they got to keep that money and spend it however they pleased, without

the nanny state dipping into their pockets, isn’t that right in line with

Republican values?

Jamie Bamber is bringing his hotness to the supernatural Ron Moore pilot 17^th Precinct.,

back in the Unites States where I can ogle him properly. Hopefully he’ll make

good use of his magic wand.

Warner Bros. is reportedly offering the 300 sequel Xerxes to Guy Ritchie. I’ll be honest, I have

trouble seeing that. But I’ll also be honest that I was hoping I’d have trouble

seeing Xerxes in that I hoped it would never be made.

The current amount of information in the world is 295 exabytes,

and 94% of that is stored digitally. 48% of that is videos of cats.

The Indiana House overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment banning

gay marriage, or anything that remotely looks like marriage, or grants marriage

like rights. It still has to pass the Senate, which is expected to be a breeze,

then will likely be vetoed by the governor, overridden in both houses, and then

voted on again in 2013 before going to a referendum in front of the people.

Pictures continue to leak out from the Atlantic gay cruise on the Allure of the Seas. My Tumblr dashboard is full of man meat from Disco Revival Tea Dance. Here's the musical non-duo of Aiden James and Andy Bell.

Long sleeves and a vest on a cruise Aiden?

I love a good Venn diagram. This one is overly complex, but not inaccurate.

Boy George cuddles up to Stephen Dorff at the Elle Awards. But who wouldn't?

This has been a repeat from everyone on Tumblr for days, but somehow it still makes me smile every single time.

Tell me they don't cute little voices.

Alec Mapa ventures into the red light district.

If you ever wondered what powered the Morning Meme. Yep, I'm a gold member.

Because of the disturbing lack of Kurt and Blaine last night on Glee, and a helpful tip from reader ImBrittLee, I give you this video of the boys talking about their favorite love songs.

Cutie pie Matt Doyle has a new Facebook page for his EP out that you can Like, and why wouldn't you? He's very likeable. Here he is mixing strings for "Daylight." Watch him jump when he unmutes the rest of the music.

The BBC has released a new clip for those of us in the United States who like our Being Human in the original form. Here we have George going looking for other werewolves. Doesn't he remember how that worked out last time?

You may recall the bulge-tastic Attitude magazine cover with the reality stars that we ran last week. While you need a subscription to the Attitude app on the iPad to see the full thing (and it's worth the price), here's a taste of the behind-the-scenes from that photoshoot.

Cee-Lo Green blew my mind with the puppets and the feathers on the Grammy Awards the other night. Now he's got a new music video for "Bodies" directed by Mikael Colombu, with the brief appearance by Karl Lagerfeld's shoulder, giving us the gay angle.

The world is a very different place viewed through a fancy macro lens.

The Captain America: First Avenger toys got shown off at the New York Toy Fair. You can get your very own 10" Chris Evans.

The new panda cub at the Atlanta Zoo has turned 100 days old, and so is ready for a name. The presence of Jack Black makes it obvious they'll go for a Kung Fu Panda 2 tie in, and what they reveal in another segment that's decidedly less cuddly is that they named the panda "Po" just like the movie.

Hunky Nick Adams pointed us to this preview for Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It has to have made me gayer just watching it. But it did bring to mind the question about the difference in drag from say, Australia, to say, what we see on RuPaul's Drag Race. These queens are fierce, but I don't think they'd make it past the first round.
