Morning Meme: Who Are Wenlock and Mandeville, "Transformers 3" Gets Recast, and Why So Shy "Hawaii Five-O?"

Plus Ryan Kwanten keeps his pants on, Drew Barrymore plans Surrender Dorothy, and Jake Gyllenhaal is a pretty, pretty princess.

There’s news that one of the ideas for Glee next season is that they want Susan Boyle as a lunch lady. I would really rather they cut down on the stunt casting and just kept plotlines for the regular cast from falling by the wayside.

The sky is blue, water is wet, and Details has another sensational anti-gay article. This one is about a voice coach to help actors sound less gay, so people like Ramin Setoodeh can find them more believable.

Queers4Gears takes Six Questions with Riki Rachtman, former host of MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball, Love Connection with Dr. Drew, and currently a judge on Fast Track To Fame on the Speed Channel. That tattooed rocker is full of surprises, including his thoughts on out rocker Rob Halford.

Ryan Kwanten says that on the upcoming season of True Blood, Jason keeps his clothes on a lot more that we’re used to, and considering the second season, I’m picturing a ski jumpsuit. But he does promise that all the other men spend more time naked than he ever did, so there’s that.

Since everything Wizard of Oz is suddenly new again, rumor has it that Drew Barrymore has dusted off Surrender Dorothy, which hasn’t been heard of since she was going to star in 2002. This time she’s directing the sequel about Dorothy’s great-great-granddaughter.

Everyone in the Twilight films got the raises they wanted, and are coming back for the last film, or last two films, depending on which rumor you listen to. Kellan was supposedly turning his nose up at 10x his original salary.

Speaking of returning cast, Megan Fox isn’t. The actress famously badmouthed both Transformers movies and claimed working for director Michael Bay was like working for Hitler. Her option was not picked up, and Shia will get a new love interest.

Private investigator Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) on CBS’s The Good Wife is beautiful, but she’s also smart, tough, and no-nonsense. Most assumed she was lesbian, but it was never made explicit. Now even the main characters on the show are asking, and she’s giving the “It’s complicated” answer, which is a neat twist. We could use a new lesbian character on television, though one that wasn’t a cop/detective/FBI agent might be nice.

While promoting Prince of Persia, Jake Gyllenhaal got just a little cheeky. “I've always really wanted to play a prince — some people might say I am in a lot of ways a princess.”

There’s a reported offer for $20 million to buy out Pink Satan. Just a heads up, I can be had for a mere $10 million.

The San Diego Gay and Lesbian News has an interesting article up about gay men and body image. Are we willing to buy anything that they put a hot man next to, with abs of steel? Probably. They want to know when self-confidence will be sexier than pectorals. It nearly falls apart when they get too clever and try a “gay unicorn” metaphor.

Marc Elliot, plays a closeted gay Muslim character on the British soap EastEnders star. He thinks the role is important, although he says he takes a lot of abuse and catcalls on the streets of London.

A group of Israeli scientists have devised a program to detect sarcasm online.  They hope it can prevent misunderstandings in a medium that finds humor complex at best.

I'm not going to spend a lot of energy talking about Jason Akermanis, and the editorial he pinned telling rugby players to stay in the closet because he would be uncomfortable being naked around you. That's the lamest, most pitiful commentary I've ever seen anyone make – about themselves. Besides, all evidence points to the fact that rugby players will get naked anywhere, anytime. Your issues are not anyone else's issues, Jason. Keep them to yourself – they make me uncomfortable.

Seriously dude, look at yourself – are you qualified to judge others?

The London Olympics haven't done all that well with symbols. The logo, well, we talked about what the logo looks like. Now they've revealed the mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville. Mascots have been a problem for many an Olympics. I don't think London managed to master it. Be sure to follow the link and watch the video to see what I mean.

Logo took time to talk to the folks at AIDS Walk NYC, the largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser anywhere. It's also a magnet for the stars that care, like Michael Urie, Jai Rodriguez, Hal Sparks, Jack Mackenroth, and Leslie Jordan.

This is an art exhibit in Paris. Beyond that, I can't tell you that much, except it's called Envison. The rest of the description was in French, and despite my expectations as an American, yelling at the screen didn't cause it to change to English.

Hawaii Five-O is a lock for CBS this fall. It has the cushy 10pm Monday slot on CBS. These are the opening credits, which present several problems. They changed the theme. Not a lot, it's still the same music, except it's not. Then there's the cast. I see three hunky stars, Alex O'Loughlin, Daniel Dae Kim, and Scott Caan (let's face it, we've all seen all of Scott Caan at the beach) and they're all fully dressed throughout. But we get random bikini girl, random female hula dancer, and one female costar, Grace Park all nearly naked in under a minute. This is how we know it's on CBS.

I can't let this morning go past without showing you Cynthia Nixon tell MTV News exactly what she thought of the Newsweek article. Anyone want to tell her what Jason Akermanis said about rugby players?
