Dem Pushes Measure Inspired By James Bond
16 May 2013 7:09 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
One Democrat is pushing a gun control measure with some unusual inspiration -- James Bond.
Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.) teamed up with founders of Moms Demand Action and Stop Handgun Violence to propose a "smart gun" bill that would require all newly manufactured handguns to be personalized within two years, so they can only be operated by authorized users. The measure would also provide for grants to continue to develop and improve handgun personalization technology, according to a statement from Tierney's office.
"In the most recent James Bond film, Bond escapes death when his handgun, which is equipped with technology that recognizes him as its owner, becomes inoperable when it gets into the wrong hands," Tierney's office said. "This technology, however, isn't just for the movies -- it's a reality."
"This technology needs to be put into action," Tierney said in the statement.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-n.Y.), a co-sponsor of the bill, »

Aclu Pushes For Cam And Mitch To Get Hitched On 'Modern Family'
15 May 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Washington -- If the American Civil Liberties Union gets its way, everyone in the country will get to witness perhaps the most high-profile same-sex wedding yet: the union of gay dads Cameron Tucker and Mitchell Pritchett on the popular ABC comedy "Modern Family."
On Wednesday, Aclu Action -- the advocacy arm of the civil liberties group -- launched a campaign calling on the show's writers and producers to let Cam and Mitch get hitched, complete with a website letting supporters RSVP for the wedding.
Besides just rooting for a new plot development, the Aclu wants Americans to remember what's at stake as the country awaits the Supreme Court's decisions in the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8 cases.
“The freedom to marry is being advanced in American living rooms as much as in court rooms," said Aclu Executive Director Anthony D. Romero in a statement provided to The Huffington Post. »

Jay Leno Tears Into Obama Scandals: ‘Remember When His Biggest Embarrassment Was Joe Biden?’
15 May 2013 9:07 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Jay Leno did not waste anytime before digging into President Obama for his sudden barrage of scandals during his Tonight Show monologue last night. The host tied together the controversies over Benghazi, the IRS targeting conservatives and the Justice Department wiretapping the AP into one larger narrative, asking, "Remember the old days when President Obama’s biggest embarrassment was Joe Biden?" »

Taxing Violent Video Games Might Just Solve The World’s Problems
14 May 2013 12:12 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
In a meeting with religious leaders that was ostensibly about gun control, Joe Biden agreed with Reverend Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham and leading beacon of morality and decency) that sure, there’s no legal reason that violent video games couldn’t have a slightly higher rate of tax on them, which would of course go to victims of gun crime (unlike, say, a tax on guns).
The questionable logic of making already violent people pay more for their violent video games, or restricting access to them altogether while allowing them to keep their cache of guns aside, presents a major of issue with the Reverend’s suggestion. The First Amendment (the predecessor to the Second Amendment, so arguably more important) guarantees the right to freedom of speech, which violent media falls under. Not moral speech, or right speech, or correct speech – free speech. The problems that arise whenever »

Britain's Prince Harry made a surprise visit to a tea party hosted by Michelle Obama yesterday (09.05.13). The 28-year-old royal kicked off his tour of the Us by joining the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden - the wife of Vice-President Joe Biden - at the White House, where the women were hosting an early Mother's Day event for Joining Forces in honour of military mothers, grandmothers and children.

Look: He's Here! Prince Harry Is In D.C.!
9 May 2013 8:04 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Washington — A buttoned-down Prince Harry joined Michelle Obama in honoring military families Thursday and toured an exhibition in Congress about land-mines, opening a weeklong U.S. visit devoted to the wounded victims of war. Shrieking onlookers gave him the pop-star treatment, but he was all royal business.
The British soldier-prince had one of America's most storied wounded warriors, the wisecracking Sen. John McCain, at his side as he viewed a display of land-mine photos, maps and mine-detection equipment, staged by a charity held dear by his late mother, Princess Diana.
As the prince entered the rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building near the Capitol, he was greeted by a roar and shouts of "Harry!" from a crowd of about 500 people, nearly all of them women. They crowded a roped-off hallway and stairway with a view of the exhibit, hoisting their cellphones and tablets to get a picture. Harry didn't »

4 May 2013 5:54 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
MSNBC had to issue another mea culpa, this time for using footage of VP Joe Biden talking about Americans killed in Benghazi out of context in a segment on gun control.

It was a producer error. MSNBC regrets the error”. »

MSNBC's saga of high-profile video editing screw-ups continues, as earlier Friday host Thomas Roberts aired a clip of Vice President Joe Biden at a memorial service and plaque dedication for Americans who died in the attack last September in Benghazi. Thomas aired a portion of the clip in which Biden mentioned children pre-deceasing their parents, but Roberts claimed this was in the midst of remarks Biden made about gun control. The error forced an apology from MSNBC host Touré later in the day. »

The Best Moments of ‘Parks & Rec’ Season Five, By Character
2 May 2013 5:51 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
While its current season, coming to an end tonight with an episode entitled "Are You Better Off?," hasn't been the strongest of the now five-year run of "Parks and Recreation," it has had a collection of some monumental, sweet, and ridiculous moments. From Leslie (Amy Poehler) and Ben's (Adam Scott) wedding to Vice President Joe Biden's cameo to Jerry's (Jim O'Heir) retirement, to Ann (Rashida Jones) and Chris (Rob Lowe) deciding to have a baby, Pawnee has been the most interesting town in all of American TV this year. We still don't know if we're going to get another dose of Leslie and the gang next fall -- although with this season's 22-episode order and the looks of NBC's ratings, it seems likely. Until then we'll look back on some of the funniest, finest and most surprising moments of our favorite people from the parks department -- because honestly, »

Violence Rules TV
1 May 2013 9:50 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York — Violence, gore and gunplay were staples on prime-time television even in the most sensitive period directly following the Newtown school shooting.
A study of 392 prime-time scripted programs on broadcast networks shown during the month following Vice President Joe Biden's January meeting with entertainment industry executives on the topic revealed that 193 had some incident of violence, according to the Parents Television Council. Some are cartoonish – quite literally, with Homer strangling Bart for mouthing off on "The Simpsons" – but there is plenty of gunplay, stabbings and beat-downs.
Here's a sample of the incidents captured by the PTC between Jan. 11 and Feb. 11:
_A character on ABC's "Body of Proof" says he dreams of ripping a woman's brain out while she's still alive, but he's shot as he's about to stick a hook up her nose. Then he's pushed off a balcony and killed.

China's Surprise Tax Prompts Hollywood Standoff
1 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
This story first appeared in the May 10 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. As Iron Man 3 rolls outs in China, it's unclear whether Marvel will hurry to cash any checks from the country. Marvel's parent Disney could be caught in a controversy over revenue that threatens a landmark trade agreement reached last year between U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and China President Xi Jinping. The studios hailed the deal for loosening restrictions on Hollywood films in the booming market. Now they contend that China's attempt to impose a value-added tax that would reduce their profit violates the agreement.

Daniel Day-Lewis Channels Another President, Barack Obama
29 April 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Over the weekend, the White House Correspondents Dinner took place in Washington, D.C., and as is the tradition, it tends to be one of the more light-hearted events in the nation's capitol. Even the Presidents gets loose and cracks a few jokes.
Two of the evening's special guests were the men behind "Lincoln," Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis, and it just so happened that President Obama had seen a behind-the-scenes featurette on the Academy Award-winning director's next film, starring Day-Lewis.
Check out the segment after the jump!
As you can see, Daniel Day-Lewis has once again disappeared into the role of a president of the United States. His channeling of Barack Obama is uncanny, and frankly, we have a hard time telling the difference between the two.
That's obviously Tracy Morgan as Vice President Joe Biden, but man, Day-Lewis is untouchable. That's one really good Obama impression.
