Kelly McGillis comes out...
Kelly even married a guy and had two daughters. They quit their marriage in 2002.
51-year-old Kelly is now single and ready to tingle. Kelly says, "I'm done with the man thing. I did that, I need to move on in life. That's another part of being true to yourself... that's been a challenge for me personally. I think that was an ongoing process from the time I was about 12. I had a lot of things happened that convinced me that God was punishing me for being gay. That was a hard process. Life is a freaking journey, and it's about growing and changing, and coming to terms with who and what you are, and loving who and what you are."

Conservatives Confounded by Colbert
A lot of conservatives are going to be pissed when they realize that Stephen Colbert's performance at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner was not, in fact, an awkward and ineffective attempt to praise President George W. Bush, but actually a bitter and satiric criticism of his incompetence!

Sean Penn Tries Again
The Oscar winner filed the papers last Friday seeking legal separation with minor children.
In December of 2007 both Sean and Robin filed for divorce separately, both citing irreconcilable differences for the split. Penn filed for divorce on Dec. 7, but the case was dismissed by both parties on Dec. 18. Wright then filed for divorce three days later on Dec. 21. In April 2008, the divorce was dismissed at the couple's request.

Mel and Mistress at Mixer
Now that the couple announced divorce proceedings, the 53-year-old actor is free to date and he hasn't wasted any time in showing off his new girlfriend.
The Mad Max star appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, hand-in-hand with new love Oksana Grigorieva.
Grigorieva was just one of several Oksanas linked to Mel after he first revealed his divorce plans. Apparently not the Oksana we thought...

Bear With Me
But naturalist Casey Anderson has taken that a step further and adopted an 58-stone grizzly bear called Brutus, who he has raised since birth.
The pair are inseparable and are so close that when Anderson married Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actress Missi Pyl in August last year, the bear stood in as best man.

Miss California Lies in Church
But San Diego public relations representative Roger Neal, who said he was one of the people advising her, called those claims lies adding, "She chose to stand up in church and in front of the media and say something that was a lie," Neal said. "No one ever said, 'You must apologize to the gay community,' and no one ever said, 'Don't talk about your faith or your religion.' Those two things never came out of anybody's mouth."

...more proof that religion indoctrinates impressionable people, teaching intolerance, hate and encouraging the spread of insidious non-truths claiming it all represents the teachings of a man they claim was the son of their god...despicable!
...oh, but in classic opportunist style, the church has no opposition to young girls being flaunted half naked and promoting the objectification of women...something they used to condemn...
...can't seem to find a petition to impeach this church of intolerance spokesperson...

Pork, Pandemic & Paranoia
HERE are some facts about swine flu to help give peace of mind
CDC Swine Flu Map HERE
The biggest myth?
Can people catch swine flu from eating pork?
No. Swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and viruses.

Dead? ...or Alive?
Other Pakistani officials and a U.S. counter terrorism official said they thought the al-Qaida chief is alive. U.S. officials said bin Laden is most likely hiding in the mountains along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, in particular the lawless tribal regions.
"We continue to believe that bin Laden is alive," said the U.S. official, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record.
Reports of bin Laden's death or of near-captures have punctuated his years on the run since the September 11, 2001 attack on the U.S., only to be seemingly debunked by periodic audio and video recordings.

Straight to DVD
Poor Jessica Biel. Her new movie, Powder Blue, is going direct to DVD, a code phrase meaning a picture is so bad, even studio execs don’t have the nerve to ask $8 or $9 for a ticket. She plays a stripper with a heart of gold.
Biel hasn’t had a real movie in theatres since I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, back in ’07. And even in that, she really just played the Girl With the Unbelievable Body.
She gets another chance at a real movie next month, with something called Nailed. Get your minds out of the gutter: It’s about a young lady who accidentally gets a nail fired into her head.

Combating Word Poverty
These are burning issues in the worlds of linguistics and education. On Monday it was reported that children in England will have lessons in formal language amid fears that some are suffering for stunted vocabularies.
US company Global Language Monitor (GLM) believes that the one millionth word will be added to the English language in mid-June.
Exposure to reading will obviously expand a person's vocabulary but the level of a person's education does not necessarily decide things.
A person with a poor education perhaps may not be able to read or read much but, they will know words and may have a very detailed vocabulary about pop songs or motorbikes. Some children that you could class as having a poor education know hundreds of words about skateboards that you won't find in a dictionary.
We must avoid cultural elitism.

Global Food Fight!
Professor Douglas Kell, chief executive of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme: "We have seen already in Indonesia and Mexico riots because of food shortages and what is undeniable is that the amount of food we are going to need to produce to deal with the world's population increases is an extra 50 per cent by 2030 and a doubling by 2050.
"We are going to have to do it on the same amount of land, because there isn't any more land, so we are going to have to increase agricultural yields.
"We are going to have to do that without increasing the amount of oil-based fertilisers we put in because oil is a finite resource and of course produces greenhouse gases.
"And we are going to have to use no more water because water is a resource in short supply as well."
He added: "Scientific research takes a long time to turn into applied fruits that are going to be of benefit to humanity and that is why we need to start the ball rolling now."

Fox News Says 'No-Bama'
There is a school of thought -- or used to be anyway -- that says since Fox Broadcasting has government licenses to operate its television stations, it should not be so stingy when the nation's leader wants a little time to speak, even if the press conference will be available on at least 10 other outlets. Although the press conference will be on Fox News, it will still give the left ammunition that Fox parent Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. is against the current administration.

Sam & Lilo on the Sly
Cameras caught Samantha Ronson, 31, leaving Lindsay Lohan’s pad at 6 a.m. Friday after spending the entire night with her.
Lohan, 22, was spotted heading into Ronson’s home later that night and didn’t leave until the next morning.
Coincidentally - or not - Ronson changed her Facebook relationship status from “single” to “it’s complicated” around the same time.
A source close to Lohan said that the “Mean Girls” star’s alarming recent weight loss is an attempt to get attention from Ronson.“She is a self-destructive person,” Lohan’s “friend” says. “It’s all part of her cry for attention. She wants Sam to see how bad she’s hurting and she wants Hollywood to see her as a ‘tortured artist’ who is wasting away … This is a symptom of something much bigger – a desperate need to be noticed.”

"The Truth" to be Revealed on the 100th Day
Artist Michael D'Antuono's painting "The Truth" – featuring Obama with his arms outstretched and wearing a crown of thorns upon his head – will be unveiled on April 29 at the Square's South Plaza.
According to a statement released about the portrait, "The 30" x 54" acrylic painting on canvas depicts President Obama appearing much like Jesus Christ on the Cross: atop his head, a crown of thorns; behind him, the dark veil being lifted (or lowered) on the Presidential Seal. But is he revealing or concealing, and is he being crucified or glorified?"
