Afternoon Meme: "Daylight Breaks," Gay Gangsters In Spandex, Workouts of Gay Reality Stars, and 'My (new) Fair Lady"

Plus Nick Rodriguez charms, Sue Sylvester's maid, Toy Story 3's booty pop, plus Fox's hunky gay cop and his adorable kid.

There’s a whole lot of gay admiration going on when Details talks to reality show stars about their workout routines. What are the workout routines of out stars like Madison Hildebrand, David Bromstad, Brad Goreski, Rami Kashou, and lone straight man Dave Salmoni like? More than I can manage with my blogger belly, that’s for sure.

Nick Rodriguez continues to charm the pants off Washington, D.C. for his performance in Light in the Piazza. Which sounds like it had a lot more planning than his One Life To Live character that brought him to our attention.

Breast implants are not having a good year. First we heard that casting calls for Pirates of the Caribbean 4 required natural boobies only, now Fox News is worried that suicide bombers will fill them with undetectable explosives to kill us all!

Every time I talk about musical theater or old movies, I screw it up, so I’m just going to report that Carey Mulligan is going to play Eliza Doolittle in a remake of My Fair Lady being written by Emma Thompson. The news story I read says the role was originally performed by Audrey Hepburn. If the definitive version was a silent movie from 1914 that I missed, rip me in the comments.

Spurf™ talked to Peter Facinelli about his Nurse Jackie character Dr. Coop last week on video, and he’s just so adorable. Spurf™ was also kind enough to put the talk he had with him concerning Twilight in a second clip so I didn’t have to listen to it.

Actress June Havoc, sister to Gypsy Rose Lee, passed away Sunday at the age of 96. Her childhood was part of the Broadway musical Gypsy. Our condolences to her family.

I’m always amused by giant corporations and their dealings with copyright. Sony Music appears to have filed a copyright claim against Beyonce’s official YouTube Channel claiming copyright infringement. All her music videos have been offline all weekend.

I agree with the Spurf™: the casting notice for Sue Sylvester’s maid on Glee can only be filmed by Karen Walker’s long suffering maid Rosie. But I differ in one aspect. I don’t just want the same actress to get the part, I want the same character to get the part.

Tribeca Film Festival has announced that it will close with a showing of the film Freakonomics, based on the bestselling books. They’ve had a bunch of filmmakers direct different segments of the film, including my old high school classmate Morgan Spurlock.

The “hoppiest place in the world.”

Out has a brief interview with Sasha Roiz, who plays hunky gay mobster Sam Adama on Caprica. They touch on the incongruity of his character with the real world vs. Caprica, how his husband Larry fits the plotlines, and his rampant shirtlessness. The sad part is that they say Sam's tattoos are very expensive to put on. I fear this means we may be seeing a lot more of Sam dressed.

E!’s Watch with Kristin has their annual voting going on to see what yet-to-be-renewed show she’ll throw her weight behind saving. A bunch of shows with gay secondary characters (or out actors) made the list including Better Off Ted, Melrose Place, Mercy, and Trauma. Not that I’m bossy, but if you love me, you’d go vote for Better Off Ted. Plus, Ellen demands it.

A 30-second commercial on the Lost finale is going for $900k. While not a Super Bowl price, it’s well above the show’s $212k average. Advertisers are as crazy as the fans it seems.

Somebody on Tumblr said this described Monday. It really kind of does describe Monday.

I'm fairly certain this wax statue of Robert Pattinson is more lifelike than the man himself.

Kristin Chenoweth's play opened on Friday night - has anyone seen it?

I don't know why, but when I saw this, I immediately thought of Pheobe from Friends.

This brightens my Monday considerably.

I was browsing newly added videos at MTV Music, and saw the screencap for Cassidy Haley's "Daylight Breaks" and I knew it looked familiar. Dennis featured it last month, but now that he's going mainstream, I wanted to repeat. A little searching says he had a dance tune on Logo's Clicklist.

Toy Story 3 has a couple of viral marketing videos done in different styles. They're both short, but the two we'll feature here both have footage of Ken that we haven't seen before.

The first, "Not A Kid Anymore" correctly assumes that your toys change as you get older, and shows off some big boy toys I wouldn't mind owning. As for why Ken does that booty pop at the makeup table, I have no idea what that's trying to communicate.

The second one is called "Horror" and I think mimics Paranormal Activity. It has a tender moment between Ken and Barbie that makes me think whatever I saw in "Not A Kid Anymore" was my imagination.

Last night on Fox's really bad Sons of Tuscon, we had a gay reveal from the playdate of the little demons on the show. And frankly, it was adorable. I know the fact that his hunky cop father is semi-closeted isn't a good thing, but the kids took the detail in stride without blinking, which I liked. Maybe Fox Sunday standards are lower for me these days.

CBS Sunday Morning attempted to put a personal, human face on Don't Ask, Don't Tell with this story. I think it was well done, but they did miss the opportunity at the end to say that while she's back doing the same job, in a war zone, but as a civilian contractor, we're probably paying her 5x as much to do it than if she were a soldier. Can't fiscal conservatives get behind the repeal for that reason alone?

And because all of this kind of depressed me, here's a replay from last year, Mika's "Lollipop" which is just what this rainy spring day needs.
