Aclu to 'Modern Family': Let Cam and Mitch Tie the Knot

18 May 2013 2:19 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »

Americans love Cam and Mitch, from Barack and Michelle Obama to Anne and Mitt Romney.  The two men aren't just the funniest duo on ABC's hit sitcom "Modern Family," they're easily the most visible fictional gay couple in the U.S--and perhaps the nation's most visible gay couple, period.  Along with their adoptive daughter, Cam and Mitch are funny, engaging and relatable: the perfect manifestation of the show's title. One thing they aren't, however, is married.  That's something the American Civil Liberties Union--one of the oldest and most influential civil rights groups in the country--thinks it's time to change.  "America wants to see Cam & Mitch get hitched on Modern Family," a new action page on the Aclu's website reads, inviting visitors to sign up and 'RSVP' to the couple's wedding.  (Or rather, to their wedding episode.)  The Aclu plans to deliver the guest list to the show's producers.

Report: Fred Armisen to leave 'Saturday Night Live'; Jason Sudeikis 'probably' out as well

16 May 2013 7:46 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »

Looks like the 2013-2014 television season will be a rebuilding year for SNL.

An unnamed source at NBC has confirmed to the New York Post that longtime castmember Fred Armisen has decided to exit the sketch show after 11 seasons. That same source tells the Post that SNL veteran Jason Sudeikis will “probably” leave the show as well this year. NBC had no comment, and reps for Armisen and Sudeikis didn’t immediately respond to EW’s inquiries.

It would hardly be a shock if these exit rumors turn out to be true. While Armisen was once a dominant presence on Saturday Night Live, »

Dean Cain On Gay Marriage: 'For Me, It's A Non-Issue'

15 May 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a same-sex marriage supporter!

Actor Dean Cain, who is best known for playing the "Man of Steel" on "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," spoke out in defense of marriage equality during a HuffPost Live appearance.

“If anybody wants to get married, go ahead," the 46-year-old actor, who will next be seen in the VH1 series "Hit The Floor," said. On a more serious note, he added, "I have a lot of gay friends ... I can't understand why it's an issue. For me, it's a non-issue."

Cain, who played a gay character opposite Zach Braff and Andrew Keegan in 2000's "The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy," is a registered Republican who reportedly backed Rick Perry and eventually Mitt Romney in the 2012 U.S. presidential election.

Geraldo On ‘Major Deception’ In Benghazi: Was Mitt Romney Told By CIA’s David Petraeus To Back Off?

10 May 2013 5:53 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »

On Friday’s Fox & Friends, Geraldo Rivera dove into the news that the intelligence community’s assessment of the reasons behind the attack on an American consulate in Benghazi was “scrubbed” of references to Islamic terrorism. Rivera said that, while he did not believe this was an impeachable offense, he was sure this “major deception” was likely to hinder former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations. Rivera added that former Gop presidential nominee Mitt Romney may have been told to back off claims of a cover-up in Benghazi for national security reasons by Former CIA Director David Patraeus. »

Al Gore is now Romney-rich after earning $200 million in recent years

7 May 2013 12:02 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

It looks like Mitt Romney isn't the only super-rich former politician out there. According to reports, former Vice President Al Gore has almost as much money following a series of business deals in the past few years.

So how did Gore get so Romney-rich?

According to an in-depth report on Gore's finances published by Bloomberg, most of the politician's fortune has come recently from the sale of the Current TV network and from shares in Apple stock. Reports indicate that Gore grossed about $70 million for his share in Current TV when it was sold to al-Jazeera in January 2013.

Since there are plenty of wealthy politicians out there, what makes Gore's wealth so notable? One reason is the proximity of this wealth disclosure to the 2012 Presidential elections. Throughout the campaign, detractors called Republican candidate Mitt Romney out-of-touch due to his vast wealth. Now that Gore has a similar sum -- an »

The Newsroom Season 2 Preview: A Change in Direction

6 May 2013 1:09 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

The Newsroom is shifting gears in its second season, as evidenced by a new preview from HBO.

Season 2 "has a different structure than the first season," creator Aaron Sorkin says, teasing the central arc as all of the characters prepare to be deposed in a wrongful termination lawsuit.

This isn't to say the individual storylines of The Newsroom Season 1 will be abandoned.

Jim (John Gallagher, Jr.) will be following the Mitt Romney campaign, as Neil (Dev Patel) focuses on the burgeoning Occupy movement and Maggie (Alison Pill) is engulfed by crises.

Watch the behind-the-scenes Season 2 preview below and see what you think:

'Newsroom' Season 2 sneak peek: Jim leaves the office as Sloan and Don get closer

6 May 2013 1:06 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

The first season of Aaron Sorkin's HBO drama "The Newsroom" divided critics and fans with its inside look at a fictional cable news operation covering real life events.

Whether you thought Season 1 was brilliant, silly or somewhere in-between, the message of the show's Season 2 promo is: We're making a show for everyone!

"This season is a lot of fun, very exciting," Sorkin promises in the promo above. "Anybody coming to it new is not going to have much trouble picking up what's going on."

There will be a new overarching story (much of the Acn crew is preparing for a deposition) and big challenges for returning characters: Jim opts to leave office tensions and love triangles behind to cover Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, Sloan and Don are going to get closer and Maggie will "lose everything" (ruh roh!).

Maybe the best news for fans? Chris Messina will be »

Could Cruz Spark A Leftist ‘Birther’ Movement? Alex Wagner’s MSNBC Panel Tackles Ted’s Canadian Roots

3 May 2013 1:39 PM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »

Jon Stewart touched on Senator Ted Cruz's Canadian origin story earlier this week on The Daily Show, but by Friday the Texas Republican's eligibility was (semi) serious news on MSNBC's Now with Alex Wagner. After playing a series of clips in which Donald Trump, Mitt Romney and others questioned President Obama's birthplace, followed by a piece from Stewart, Alex Wagner asked her guests how big of a problem this could be for Cruz's presidential chances. »

Paul Ryan supports gay adoption: 'If a person wants to love and raise a child, they ought to be able to do that'

1 May 2013 9:10 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

During a townhall meeting in Janesville, Wis., former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, who voted in 1999 against gay adoption in the District of Columbia, says he has softened his position on the matter, reports Wkow.

When an attendant at the meeting asked the congressman why he doesn't support gay marriage, he says marriage should be between a man and woman. But he says gay adoption is something that could benefit a lot of children.

"I do believe that if there are children who are orphans, who do not have a loving person or couple -- I think if a person wants to love and raise a child, they (sic) ought to be able to do that. Period. I would vote that way. I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, we just respectfully disagree on that issue," says Ryan.

Is this perhaps the first step towards a presidential run? »

Conan O'Brien mocks CNN, Mitt Romney and more at White House Correspondents Dinner 2013

27 April 2013 11:56 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

When talk show host Conan O'Brien took the podium at the 2013 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, he had big shoes to fill after a great and funny speech from President Barack Obama. Right off the top, O'Brien took a shot at himself, giving credit to the President on job creation during his time in office. "Since he was first elected the number of popes has doubled, and the number of "Tonight Show" hosts has tripled," he jokes.

That doesn't mean the President was spared though. Like Obama did himself, Conan poked fun at how the presidency has aged him, joking, "Your hair is so white, it could be a member of your cabinet."

Though the former president, George W. Bush, wasn't in attendance, he was not safe from jokes. When talking about the recent dedication of his presidential library, O'Brien quips, "The library has millions of books, articles and documents. »

2 Chainz: 'I'm Just A Good Person'

25 April 2013 7:55 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

The last time we spoke to 2 Chainz, he was campaigning for felon enfranchisement and mused that he could beat Mitt Romney if the then-gop candidate for president wasn't so rich. In a conversation last Saturday on his bus at Coachella, however, 2 Chainz took a more balanced view of the presidency.

"I really can't have a say-so about whoever is the commander-in-chief," he said while recovering from his second performance at the festival. "I just try to do right whether it's a Republican or a Democrat. But I definitely voted for Obama. He's just dealing with a lot of issues, from that Boston shit to overseas issues with North Korea and everything. Bro's got a lot on his plate, so you can't do anything but support him."

That sort of positivity and casual regard for life's challenges has underscored 2 Chainz' renaissance from Atlanta trap scenester to hip-hop's favorite rapper. The 35-year-old »

Interview: Director Kevin Hanna on Film Fundraising for ‘Rose’s Colored Glasses’

16 April 2013 4:27 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – The ‘mumblecore’ movement, an early post-millennium film style, is now termed more accurately as movies on a “micro budget.” These films take advantage of today’s cheaper and more accessible technology for creating projects, and then finance them for less money. A new source in underwriting filmmaking costs is “crowdfunding,” and director Kevin Hanna is using that technique to subsidize his new film, “Rose’s Colored Glasses.”

Kevin Hanna is a veteran of five short films, as he continues his journey as a Chicago-based movie maker. “Rose’s Colored Glasses” is his most ambitious film to date, and needed more money than just his usual self financing or screening parties. As many current film producers are doing, Hanna researched the internet and found the solution for raising dollars for his new film….crowdfunding.

Kid Rock 'embarrassed to be a Republican' over paperless ticketing bans

12 April 2013 7:10 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Though he supported Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, Kid Rock has come out to say he's "f**king embarrassed to be a Republican." The cause? The way Republican lawmakers are outlawing the sales of paperless tickets, a practice which make it easier for musicians to avoid scalpers.

"That's one of the times I'm f**king embarrassed to be a Republican," he tells Rolling Stone. "It's f**king Republican lawmakers passing those laws, you dumba**es. They already did it in New York and they're trying to do it in Michigan. I've even called some of those guys to try and stop it."

But the Republicans aren't the only ones who have earned his ire. Kid Rock is doing his best to counteract overpriced ticket sales and scalpers by launching his "$20 Best Night Ever" summer tour, but he says Ticketmaster almost ruined his dream.

I'm f***ing embarrassed to be a Republican, says Kid Rock

New York, Apr 2: Kid Rock may have supported Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election, but that doesn't mean that he always supports their decisions.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the rocker has one point in particular that had him fuming.

The rockstar is planning a tour and trying to keep ticket prices at 20 dollars.

But he hasn't been completely successful, because of ticketing fees and states that have outlawed paperless ticketing.

"That's one of the times I'm f-king embarrassed to be a Republican," the Huffington Post quoted him as saying.

"It's f-king Republican lawmakers passing those laws, you dumbasses. They already did it in New York and they're trying to do it in Michigan.. »
