Kelly McGillis comes out...
Kelly McGillis has come out to SheWired and declared that she is...well "you know"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
According to a study from The Ohio State University, which proves, with math and stuff, that lots of conservatives seem to not understand the intrinsic, underlying joke of The Colbert Report.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!

Christians Love Hate
Victims of violence who are gay would have new federal protections under a hate-crimes bill approved by the House. The vote was 249 to 175, with most Democrats voting in favor and most Republicans against. The bill defines hate crimes as those motivated by prejudice and based on a victim’s race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. The measure would provide grants for state and local authorities to investigate and prosecute hate crimes , and it would empower the federal government to prosecute cases if states asked for Washington’s help or were reluctant to exercise their own authority. The Senate has not yet scheduled a vote on the bill, which President Obama supports.Guess what? Yep...Christians and other intellectually challenged religious types are squirming like a swine's tail...they believe the law will outlaw proselytizing...and they won't be able to spread the 'god sanctioned' intolerance virus...
WE CAN ONLY HOPE!

Secrets of the Phallus
If you’ve ever had a good, long look at the human phallus, whether yours or someone else’s, you’ve probably scratched your head over such a peculiarly shaped device. Let’s face it—it’s not the most intuitively shaped appendage in all of evolution. But according to evolutionary psychologist Gordon Gallup of the State University of New York at Albany, the human penis is actually an impressive “tool” in the truest sense of the word, one manufactured by nature over hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution.more HERE

The Great Egyptian Swine Slaughter
Cairo, Egypt - hit hard by bird flu, has ordered the slaughter of every pig herd in the country as a precaution against swine flu, a step the United Nations said was a mistake.The H1N1 swine flu virus is spread by people and is not present in Egyptian animals but culling pigs, largely viewed as unclean in Muslim Egypt, could help quell any panic.

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.

Pork, Pandemic & Paranoia
Swine flu coverage is everywhere—on the Web, TV, radio and even spreading like wildfire on social networks like Twitter. But across all of the media outlets, there’s potential for misinformation. And unfortunately, some of this information is causing unnecessary panic.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?
Pakistan's president said Monday his intelligence agencies believe Osama bin Laden may be dead, but he added there is no proof.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.

Combating Word Poverty
Do people know more words than they actually use and is having a large vocabulary something you learn or have a natural ability for?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.

Global Food Fight!
There is a real threat of food riots around the world unless research into increasing crop yields is stepped up, a leading UK scientist said.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'
Fox Broadcasting is taking a pass on President Obama's Wednesday news conference.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.”

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?"

Tanorexia Epidemic
The swine flu is scary since you haven't much control...but how about consciously taking part in an activity that will probably kill you all for the sake of a fake image you'd like to project?Tanorexia, its now being called.
Nearly 30 million people tan indoors every year in the United States, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, and 2.3 million of them are teens. People get addicted to tanning beds, one small study suggested. The UV light is thought to affect moods, and to stop going can bring on withdrawal symptoms.
Tanning beds are a $5 billion-a-year industry in the United States, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation (that's up from an estimate of $2 billion in 2006). The tanning salon industry has in the past claimed the UV light is harmless and even healthy. One claim from proponents is that tanning prevents sunburn, thereby reducing the chance of skin cancer.
But UV tanning, from the sun or in a bed, damages genetic information in cells and is linked to the development of skin cancer, researchers at Wake Forest University found. The Skin Cancer Foundation agrees. The darkening of skin is a direct result of damaged cells. more HERE
Hollywood's obsession with tanning isn't helping, either. Take Kim Kardashian, for example. The star recently sought advice for curing sunburn lines — after dozing off in a tanning bed with extraordinarily large sunglasses on — then posted the pics on Twitter. Could the reality TV star be suffering from "tanorexia," a compulsive need to be tan? more HERE

If and when the GE comes to market in China, it would be sold under Geely’s Englon luxury marque. By all accounts the limo is a shameless (if not slightly shorter in length) knock-off of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Batman of Bangkok
Last week, as anti-government protesters clad in crimson stormed the capital's streets, some guys hijacked a gas truck and parked it in an otherwise quiet neighborhood. They were pursued by soldiers and assumed (according to Thai media reports) that the military wouldn't fire into an area containing a massive container of liquid fuel.
Then, out of nowhere, Batman steps into the crowd and surveys the scene. So the story goes, the masked hero broke the tension long enough for a city worker to climb back in the truck and drive away. And those in the neighborhood gathered to applaud.

R.I.P.: Bea Arthur
Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows "Maude" and "The Golden Girls" and who won a Tony Award for the musical "Mame," died Saturday. She was 86.
Arthur first appeared in the landmark comedy series "All in the Family" as Edith Bunker's outspoken, liberal cousin, Maude Finley. She proved a perfect foil for blue-collar bigot Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor), and their blistering exchanges were so entertaining that producer Norman Lear fashioned Arthur's own series.
"Golden Girls" (1985-1992) was another groundbreaking comedy, finding surprising success in a television market increasingly skewed toward a younger, product-buying audience.

The new movie poster features Brüno standing straddle-legged in a Sound of Music-like field of yellow flowers, looking over his shoulder with an I'm-too-sexy-for-this-poster glance, a pair of micro-mini lederhosen riding up his derriere. In a semi-inspired touch, a URL at the bottom directs you to the film's "MeinSpace" page.watch the restricted trailer HERE

Trend-setting Hollywood seems to be the epicenter.
Among the young and the restless: Lindsay Lohan (twice), Paris Hilton (it was just one margarita!), Nicole Richie (wielding a black Mercedes) and Khloe Kardashian ("She's a superstar," her attorney said, apropos of nothing).

When Gavin Was Gay
Though Boy George broke the news of Gavin Rossdale, 43, and Marilyn’s tumultuous romance in his 1995 book, Take It Like a Man, Gavin denied it.Back in the ’80s, Gavin was a wild child who wore black lipstick and partied until all hours at London’s underground clubs. And the most important relationship of his life may have been with another androgynous, hard-partying man. It seems, Gavin had a long-standing secret love affair with Marilyn — a male rocker who kinda looked like Gwen.

The study concludes that being overweight or obese “should be recognized as an environmental problem” because of its contribution to climate change from additional food and transport emissions.
The study found that a lean population, such as the Vietnamese, consume about 20 percent less food and produce fewer greenhouse gases than a population in a country like the United States, where about 40 percent of people are obese.

Another World
A group of astronomers announced the discovery of the least massive planet yet detected outside of our solar system. It is lightweight enough--between two and three times the mass of Earth--to almost certainly be rocky like Earth rather than a huge ball of gas. Although the planet orbits too close to its star to be habitable, a new analysis of one of its neighbors suggests a world with deep oceans. All this raises the prospect of discovering an Earth-size planet orbiting at just the right distance from its star to give life a chance.First discovered in 2007, Gliese 581d was originally calculated to be too far away from its host star—and therefore too cold—to support an ocean. But that has all changed.

Hey Fatso! ...Get Over It!


Kim Kardashian has a big bone to pick with Us Weekly after it ran a small blurb she says implied she's plus-sized.
In the story, the magazine announces that bargain clothing store Forever 21 is launching a new line of clothing for "fuller-figured fashionistas" called Faith 21. And guess whose face is slapped up right next to the designs that tout fashions "ranging from XL to 2XL"?
Kim responded on her blog:
I feel that this clipping from Us Magazine is a bit misleading, so I wanted to comment on it.
I am a huge fan of Forever 21 and I'm very happy they have expanded their line to include a plus-size range, but I am not in that size category and this article makes it sound like I am! I am a curvy girl and I love my curves, but curvy and plus-sized are two very different things. I work really hard to maintain my curves while staying slim and healthy, so to be classed as a "fuller-figured woman" of extra large proportions is a little offensive.
For the record, I am a size 2, not 2XL.

Childhood Pathological Addiction
Nearly one in 10 American children who play computer games are pathologically addicted, according to new research.Some young gamers show at least six symptoms of gambling addiction, such as lying to family and friends about how much they play games, using the games to escape their problems and becoming restless or irritable when they stop playing. They may also skip homework to play games or spend too much time playing and do poorly in school, the study shows.
Boys spent an average 16.4 hours a week playing games and girls 9.2 hours. "Addicted" gamers played 24 hours a week, twice as much as casual gamers.

After warning the couple several times and receiving nearly 25 complaints, Environmental Health officers set up a recording system next door. They recorded Steve and Caroline's heated screeches over 23 times. The judge found Caroline guilty of assault with a deadly orgasm scream. She was fined £200. Caroline still doesn't understand why she's being punished. She told the Daily Mail, "I can’t understand why people ask me to be quiet. It’s normal to me."
