AfterElton Briefs: Adam Lambert Headlines AMA Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo Gets in David Beckham's Underwear, and more

I'm not surprised that Joe is pro-gay, but I am surprised that he's so actively pro-gay. My (second) cousin Abbey dated Joe earlier this year, and I always saw her in pics at the time hanging out with gay-friendly folks or actual gays, such as Mario Lopez and Lance Bass.  I thought it kind of odd that Lance would be so pal-sy with someone like Joe, but I guess celebrities tend to gravitate toward anyone who likes to party.  Anyway, it became pretty apparent to me that Joe was extremely comfortable with gay people.

1) While i think we should be grateful for anyone's support, personally i wish Joe Francis would've stayed home.  His particular brand of celebrity doesn't add much to the message. 

2) And although i don't know how Jesse McCartney fits under the rubric of gays-in-entertainment, i feel compelled to comment.

Poor kid!  Maybe i was born without enough schadenfreude, but that clip makes me so uncomfortable, and i have to wonder why CNN feels compelled to show it over and over.  Having sung alot for audiences, and having had an episode of lyric-block (thankfully, not during the Anthem) i can relate to the stomach-churning embarrassment and nerves.  So, i say take pity, because he'll probably have nightmares about this. 

3) That Ryan Murphy quote is hilarious. 

4) Ellen's TR interview was so much fun!  i may put myself up for adoption. 

One of the driving forces of the Girls Gone Wild popularity is getting young straight women to make out with each other, much to the delight of straight men.  I think it's great that Joe Francis is no hypocrite, and understands that this is, in fact, homosexuality.  Therefore he marches for our cause.  This connection is stupidly lost on a rather large percentage of rock-headed straight men.

that the more uber-hetero guys like Joe Francis that are marching with us the better.  He may be distasteful to a lot of people, but if all those horny straight beer-burping guys who idolize him see him marching for gay rights, then that could only help open their minds toward us.  I welcome his support.

Back when I was a young girl I had a huge crush on Nuno Bettencourt :) He still looks good and the clip, paroding the one for More Than Words is amusing.

 

I love him and his music, so I feel super bad for him right now. I think we all know how it feels to mess up like that, so lets cut him some slack.

Those announcers were hilarious though!

I may be straight, but I'm not narrow.

...and sure it could just be a rationalization for seeking attention...but if I give him the benefit of the doubt of a rare moment of sincerity, his reasons for being there actually make total sense.   

If soccer players spent more time posing and less time, you know, playing soccer, I might watch the game.

It's scary that you can die of natural causes while still young. That you can just go to sleep and never wake up.

I'm glad the cause of death  (acute pulmonary edema -- excess fluid in his lungs)  was reported quickly.

The spokeswoman added that Gately's death had nothing to do with any consumption of alcohol or drugs.

There were already rumors that he died from his own vomit after a night of drinking -- WRONG.

===============================================

Good night, Sweet Prince

ok, yeah, the whole "girls gone wild" thing is pretty dumb. girls lifting their tops up and making out with each other is...well...its been done to death.

that said, i will welcome anyone to 'the fight' as long as they're not the most disgusting form of human i loathe....child molestors or animal abusers.

If Joe francis is any of those things, do correct me. :-)
