  • You're probably familiar with teen sensation Katy Perry's number one hit: "I Kissed a Girl." The song is notable for pedaling faux lesbian titillation to the Disney pre-teen set. Well, Perry has another tune off her debut album that has likewise attracted attention. The track is called "UR SO GAY" and here's some sample lyrics:
"I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf"
"While jacking off listening to Mozart"
"You bitch and moan about LA"
"You’re so gay and you don’t even like boys"
"No you don’t even like, no you don’t even like, no you don’t even like boys"
The song is supposed to be about Perry's metrosexual former boyfriend, but at least some folks have called it "schoolyard homophobia."  Turns out Katee's parents, both evangelical preachers aren't happy with the song either. Said the Mom: "We hate it. It promotes homosexuality, which the Bible clearly states is a sin, and it is shameful and disgusting."  Katy, for her part, must be laughing all the way to the bank.
  • Fran Drescher and her ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson are hosting a fundraiser tomorrow night to raise money to help defeat Proposition 8, the November ballot that would ban same-sex marriage in California. Explains Fran: "It's simply un-American not to be tolerant of different lifestyles. If you wanna live in a single-minded, religious-based country you're in the wrong place." Way to go Fran!

  • Towleroad posted the red band trailer for  Kevin Smith's new movie, Zack & Miri Make a Porno.

From left ot right: Elizabeth Banks, Justin Long, Seth Rogen

The most interesting part is the beginning, where Seth Rogen's character meets up with Mac guy Justin Long (who plays a gay porn star) at a high school reunion:

Rogen: What brings you here?
Long
: I'm an actor.
Rogen
: Wow. Anything I've seen?
Long
: "Oh, all sorts of movies with all-male casts.
Rogen
: All-male casts. Like Glengarry Glenn Ross?
Long
: Like Glenn and Gary suck Ross' m***y c***.
Rogen
: Is that like a sequel?

You can watch the full trailer here but warning, definitely NSFW!

  • And the ironic Sara Palin hilarity continues. Republican VP pick addresses the party faithful at tonight's convention. 

And today's Briefs are brought to you by...

    Hot!

    Justin Long is adorkable and Brandon Routh is smoking hot.  I can not wait to see them kiss.  Plus, it sounds like they have some hilarious dialogue.

    do we really still care?

    That song came out months and months ago, before she had her hit. Her parents' recent quotes referred to the second song, not the first. Why on earth are you giving ink to this tiresome girl now, just as her fad is ebbing?

    [ETA: In less curmudgeonly news, I have to admit my heart is thawing towards Kevin Smith's latest. But I want Brandon Routh to kiss Seth Rogen instead of Justin Long, because Seth looks more like me!]

    No, not "distant gay traces" -- it's distingué traces!

    Uhm...

    So, just to recap:

    Katy Perry making fun of her metrosexual ex in what is CLEARLY tongue in cheek= Not okay.

    Making fun of a 17 year old teenager's pregnancy, mainly because we don't like her mother = Okay.

    Hmmm... I dunno.

    Kevin Smith's movie looks excellent, though - definitely looking forward to it!

    Of course the treatment of Palin's daughter is not okay.

    Of course the treatment of Palin's daughter is not okay. At least this poster doesn't call her a "bitch" or a "whore" as so many in the party of feminist progress have done in the past couple of days. There's plenty of hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle, it seems.

    Wait...

    Why is the word "meaty" censored?
    thin mint's picture

    meaty = "of or pertaining to the meatus"?

    (the meatus being the dick-slit)

    LOL! I don't think so in this case... (a 'meaty c**k' using that reference would be kind of 'icky')   ;^D

    PS: I rated your post 5 stars for making me laugh so hard!

    Kevin Smith--you're on notice

    What did we ever do to deserve Seth Rogan, or this movie?  How many times can Hollywood recycle the same "jokes"? (That's a rhetorical question.)  "Zack & Miri Make a Porno"--I could write the script in my sleep.  Pre-pubescent adolescent boys, come to attention!

    And is "the ironic Sara Palin hilarity continues" meant to be a satiric jab at her daughter?  I didn't get that.  I watched the pundits on CNN slavering all over Palin this morning.  She certainly has a serious fanclub.  Personally, I kind of like her, but I would never vote for the Party that brought us eight years of economic stagnation and a never-ending war on terror.

    If demented puritans think Katy Perry is hellbound...

    If demented puritans think Katy Perry is hellbound, does that mean I have to start liking her?
