Afternoon Meme: Cheyenne's "Blessing," Jason Stackhouse Prays, and Thundercats Ho!

Plus, meet The A List, Matt Morris cleans up for his closeup, and now little boys can have image problems too!

Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the King from Merlin, Anthony Head, has given his name to a cause that doesn't tend to attract a lot of celebrity attention - bedwetting.

Cheyenne Jackson has recorded the most beautiful song, “Blessing” with proceeds benefiting The Trevor Project and Hetrick Martin Institute. It’s the most heartbreaking conversation a gay son can have with a parent and Cheyenne’s voice is perfectly suited to the tone of the song. You can get it on iTunes (link will launch iTunes).

Homer Simpson has been voted the Greatest Character of the Last 20 Years. Evidently, he’s the impulsive id for a generation, much as the late Dennis Hopper played for the previous generation. Harry Potter came in second, followed by Buffy, Tony Soprano, and Heath Ledger’s Joker.

Cartoon Network is launching a new Thundercats series in 2011. I don’t know if I’m excited or worried about this.

People either love Bret Easton Ellis or hate him. But I don’t know anyone who thinks that his work should inspire children’s books. Wait – yes I do! Peaches Geldoff plans to bring his jaded view of the world to a new generation.

If Al and Tipper Gore move from separation to divorce, who gets custody of Bryan Safi?

You know what we’re into? People who are into us.

I had assumed ABC’s Scoundrels was a short summer series that was already in the can. But now Spurf says that Jason Priestley is joining the series for multiple episodes, so maybe this lite version of the Maguires from Shameless has some legs.

Everything sounds more impressive through the lens of Michael Bay.

Zac Efron is going to get the Shining Star Award at the Maui Film Festival, presumably for the gleam from his hair.

As part of their commitment to diversity, Glee plans to introduce a Christian character next season. We know it’s a female character, and she’ll be absolutely devoted. We don’t yet know if she’ll be throwing or catching slushies in the hallway.

Jeff Zucker may not get to keep his job at NBC once Comcast takes over. The man who fired Conan O’Brien is going to get a golden parachute roughly the same size Coco took to go away, somewhere in the $30 million range. Is anyone interested in paying me that kind of money not to work?

Sweden is the most gay-friendly country in Europe. Oddly, I never suspected the Swedish Chef in the slightest.

For contrast, same-sex partners of gay and lesbian employees of the federal government can start applying for very limited benefits next month.

Stop the presses – giraffes can swim. Not that anyone has ever seen one swim. Scientists spent a fortune creating a perfect digital model of a giraffe and calculated it could swim if it wanted to. Can we get all this effort focused on working on the oil spill now?

SyFy is about to have a new summer season. Part of that is Eureka with my adorkable crush Neil Grayston, and part of it is the hunky Eddie McClintock on Warehouse 13.

I would not risk the tape with that scruff.

Matt Morris is releasing his album When Everything Breaks Open July 13th, and he previewed the album cover on Facebook. I've never seen him cleaned up this much - he's quite the cutie.

No, you can't actually zoom.

As we stare blankly at the oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico and wait for more pictures of pelicans covered in oil, it's important to take a look at the Top 10 Cutest Species Threatened By BP Oil Spill. While it may seem exploitative to worry about which animals are cutest, that's what generates outrage and movement.

How can you not worry about this little guy?

The Aston-Martin James Bond drove in Goldfinger and Thunderball is going up for auction, ejector seat, non-working machine gun headlights, rotating license plate and all. It's expected to fetch at least $5 million for someone not to drive.

Big Time Rush is an attempt by Nickelodeon to cash in on the High School Musical/Glee craze. It's about a boy band living in a hotel in Los Angeles filled with wannabee child stars, who hang out at the pool flirting in really creepy ways, all of them heterosexual, because gays never gravitate towards the performing arts. But not only that, now tween boys are getting the same destructive message girls have always gotten: If you want love, be prepared to change anything and everything about yourself to please the other person.

The new Drop of True Blood features Jason Stackhouse, dressed in far too many clothes. He appears to be upset about killing someone to save Andy. But the funny part is who he chooses to pray to, which is just about anyone, including "Confusion." He sure is lucky he's pretty.
