Big Brother 15: Sunday’s Show Skips Over Extreme Racism, Homophobia
5 hours ago
Remember when we lined up Big Brother‘s new cast and tried to like them? That was dumb of us. We should’ve waited an extra 13 seconds for half of them to burst with homophobic, racist, and misogynist epithets, then called off our noble welcome wagon and cried by ourselves. Silly us!
Indeed, Big Brother 15 is turning out to be one of the most casually offensive casts we’ve seen in a long time. We didn’t witness much of their uncouth ways on Sunday’s episode (though we did see everyone finally figure out that Elissa is Rachel Reilly’s sister, a case that surely would’ve stumped Hercule Poirot), but thanks to the power of the internet’s studious Big Brother transcribers, we have a comprehensive record of everything horrible uttered on the show’s live feeds. Here are five prime offenders and their offenses, courtesy of Jokers. »

Should Alec Baldwin Be Arrested?
6 hours ago
Blogger Andrew Sullivan thinks formal legal action should be taken against Alec Baldwin following the 30 Rock actor’s extreme, homophobic, and (frankly) crazed tweets about Daily Mail journalist George Stark. Stark had alleged that Baldwin’s wife Hilaria was tweeting while in attendance at James Gandolfini‘s funeral, and Baldwin found that finding erroneous and — apparently — grounds for a multi-tweet tirade and attack. Here are Baldwin’s (now deleted) tweets about the event, listed in reverse chronology.

Said Sullivan:
“He knew the target was gay, and threatened to beat him up, and urged others – up to a million others who follow his tweets – to beat him up. Why, I wonder, has Baldwin not been arrested? In my view, George Stark should press charges. Bigoted bullies like Baldwin need to know that their stardom (and their ‘liberal’ past) does not excuse this. Kids are brutalized by this kind of language »

“Teen Wolf” Paper Dolls: Stiles and Lydia
8 hours ago
Teen Wolf is one of our favorite shows, but much as we love the denizens of Beacon Hills, they never quite do all the things we want them to do… or for a sufficient amount of time. So for hardcore Wolfies who want more of their favorite characters… and have the vivid imagination to create their own adventures, we bring you more fabulous Teen Wolf paper dolls by graphic artist Andy Swist. (You might recall his popular True Blood paper dolls from a few years back.)
Last week we posted everyone’s favorite sour wolf, Paper Doll Derek. This week it’s a twofer: Stiles and Lydia!
Pdf Version Stiles suitable for printing (right mouse-click and save)
Pdf Version Lydia suitable for printing (right mouse-click and save)
Helpful Hints:
• Print on thicker paper stock so pieces are more durable.
• Use glitter, ribbons, and other crafting/ art supplies to enhance each character. »

Snuffed Out: Still More Series That Were Gone Too Soon
9 hours ago
With the fate of ABC’s Happy Endings decided, it has officially become a member of the “Gone Too Soon” club, TV shows that were snuffed out before they had a chance to flourish … or jump the shark. The club used to be headed by the Holy Trinity of Arrested Development/Freaks & Geeks/Firefly, but Arrested Development has been miraculously resurrected, so let’s put … I don’t know … Pushing Daisies in its place.
While we mourn Happy Endings, let’s take a third trip down TV memory lane. In the first Snuffed Out, we paid tribute to the aforementioned Daisies, as well as Wonderfalls, Nightman, The Book Of Daniel, Popular, The Five Mrs. Buchanans, The Flash, Eerie Indiana, It’s All Relative, Paper Dolls and the newly-resurrected Veronica Mars.
The second Snuffed Out honored The Comeback, It Had To Be You, Mission Genesis, Flo, Women of The House, Baywatch Nights, »

Watch! Adam Lambert and an All-Star Cast Assist “American Girl” Bonnie McKee
10 hours ago
Singer/songwriter Bonnie Mckee has co-written eight number one songs over the last few years (including four with Katy Perry), and for her solo stab at success, “American Girl,” (which sounds … like a Katy Perry demo), she’s enlisted her showbiz friends to help with the music video.
See if you can name all of the stars (there’s a list at the end), and I have to confess, Tommy Lee in drag stumped me.
Oh, and for you Glamberts, Bonnie co-wrote the faboo Adam Lambert Trespassing songs “Cuckoo,” and “Chokehold.”
The post Watch! Adam Lambert and an All-Star Cast Assist “American Girl” Bonnie McKee appeared first on thebacklot.com. »

Nickelodeon’s 25 Great Gay Icons from the ’90s
12 hours ago
If you were gay and a kid in the ’90s, you were lucky to have Nickelodeon on the tube. Not only did the classic kids network dish out quirky shows that hold up well (particularly The Adventures of Pete & Pete), but it gave you bizarre, unconventional, one-of-a-kind characters who could be your friends, no matter how ridiculous or cartoonish they were. Sometimes, Nick’s characters were seemingly tailor-made for gay audience acceptance, and that’s why we’re assembled here today in this blessed Pride month: to remember 25 of Nickelodeon’s ’90s heroes (in the pre-Spongebob era) who guided us through childhood like Kirk Fogg ushering Purple Parrots past Temple Guards.
25. Petunia, The Adventures of Pete & Pete
Sure, she was just a tattoo, but she wiggled! Scandalously! Gorgeously! Distantly. Little Pete’s mermaid tattoo was the slacker ’90s kid take on Veronica Lake.
24. Helga Pataki, Hey Arnold!

“True Blood”: Where’s Warlow?
13 hours ago
Everyone’s after Warlow in this week’s episode. Well, except those who are after Emma. Or Eric. Or Japanese scientists. Or a clue.
In Willa Burrell‘s room, Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) threatens to “tear her apart right down there,” which sounds a bit cavalier for a first date. (Don’t let your mouth write checks your mouth can’t cash!) Before he can dig in, she tells him something that gives him pause – what, she once dated Michael Douglas? No, she says that she can tell him things about her father’s “experiment” – and she’s not just talking about that time he kissed a dude in college.
Back at Casa Beel, Bilith (Stephen Moyer) tells Jess (Deborah Ann Woll) that he has to save her and all the other vamps in his vision from burning up at a rave. She’s good with that.

TV on Tap: Gabriel Mann’s “Arrested Development” Song and NBC Heads for “Siberia”
15 hours ago
News
Soon, there will be more than 24 seconds of the Arrested Development song, “Getaway.” TV Guide reports that there’s an Arrested Development soundtrack that’s sending Gabriel Mann back to the studio (yes, that Gabriel Mann from Revenge, he’s the singing voice of Mark Cherry) to co-write and perform a full-length version of the song. The soundtrack will likely also include a medley of songs from the Fantastic Four musical and the power-anthem “Balls in the Air”.
Mark-with-a-k-not-a-c Cherry
There are a bunch of pilots getting a second chance but the most disappointing rejection was the untitled pilot starring and written by John Mullaney. Reports said the pilot was really good, plus it starred Ellott Gould as Mullaney’s gay neighbor, so it helps make up for all the gay representation we lost this season. Thus, I was pretty thrilled to see Deadline‘s report that Fox is »

Meme: Gene Roddenberry Knew George Takei Was Gay During “Star Trek,” Justice Kennedy Denies Motion On Prop 8 Stay, Putin Signs Gay Propaganda Law

David Boies stretches Doma ruling, Rachel Maddow slaps Rep. Jim DeMint around, Christian Broadcasting Network reveals the Gay Agenda.
We see a lot of arguments on this site about queerbaiting in television shows (most frequently with shows with out creators). But is it a problem? Twenty years ago, we were thrilled by subtext. Now we expect more – and we should. But how do you solve a problem as old as television itself?
As expected, Monsters University dominated the box office. But The Heat took in $40 million, while the big budget White House Down disappointed with only $26 million. Does this mean that we need to stop blowing everything up and maybe try and laugh every once in a while?
I mean, even Steven Spielberg thinks that Hollywood has a blockbuster problem. And since he basically invented the blockbuster, shouldn’t we pay attention to him? I’m not just saying that »
