Morning Meme: Elizabeth Banks Is Tinkerbell, Matt Smith Is Christopher Isherwood, and Captain Jack's New Friends

Plus Kris Allen's man crush, more Ryan Reynolds pictures, and ABC still won't talk to GLAAD about The View.

Maggie Gallagher’s National Organization for Marriage is doing a bus tour of the eastern United States, drumming up all the hate they can manage. Amusingly, it’s not a lot of hate so far. They’ve drawn tens of people to their first two stops, and been outnumbered by pro-gay protesters.

Nathan Fillion took over the Internet this week calling all sorts of things “double rainbow.” This lead to people who aren’t plugged in 24/7 to ask over and over what “double rainbow” means, annoying those of us with no life. Urban Dictionary has stepped in.

ABC Daytime may not be the haven for soap operas that people thought. They’ve asked for a waiver from the Writers Guild of America to show 20 “classic” episodes of their soaps every year, or they’re going to start firing writers to cut costs.

Elizabeth Banks has been cast as Tinkerbell in Tink, and it's not one of those animated direct-to-DVD movies they keep churning out. Disney is going live action for this one. If you had any doubt, yes a gay man is behind this, specifically Adam Shankman.

In Australia, they’ve canceled So You Think You Can Dance. This is sad, because instead of homophobes at the judging table, it has homosexuals. (h/t to T)

Surprising no one, Graham Norton is stepping into Jonathan Ross’ shoes at the BBC. The show will get a new name, and a new feel, but keep the plum Friday night slot.

McDonald’s is embarrassed that 5,000 Happy Meals ended up with multi-colored condoms as prizes instead of The Last Airbender toys. They’re blaming the mixup on employees in a shared warehouse facility who saw the colorful prophylactics and assumed they were toys. But that’s not the funny part:

The incident came to light when a bunch of birthday party kids opened their condoms at once, blew them up and started playing around with these in a restaurant. It was a bad experience for many patrons of the restaurant especially the elderly diners who were present at that time, with one aged woman fainting when a condom balloon landed in her plate.

Two male dancers on the Brazilian show What Is Your Talent? shocked everyone by kissing passionately at the end of their tango. Yes, there’s video.

Hugh Jackman seems torn when asked about Taylor Lautner playing a young Wolverine in an X-Men film. He’s afraid the wolf pup can’t grow the facial and body hair required for the character, and if he did, teen girls everywhere would leap from ledges.

Human Rights Watch, the biggest human rights organization in the world, has issued an apology for “inappropriate... disparaging... inaccurate... condemnatory... intemperate personal attacks” that GLBT head Scott Long has directed at British activist Peter Tatchell.

I’ve been tobacco free for a little over a year, and am quickly becoming one of those annoying ex-smokers that has to tell you everything bad about smoking. But it is damaging 323 human genes when you do it.

ABC gave CNN a non-statement about the dangerous HIV information that Sherri Shepherd and D.L. Hughley dispensed on The View last month. Essentially they said it was the guest, it was his interpretation, and they’d eventually talk about the subject again any way they felt like it. GLAAD remains unhappy.

NPR’s award winning Fresh Air program has been banned from NPR in Mississippi after comedian Louis C.K. said he liked to have sex with his shirt on, offending delicate ears of one person who complained.

Reader shawnlunn2002 tips us to a first look at stills and a trailer from Doctor Who’s Matt Smith in Christopher and His Kind, about author Christopher Isherwood in Berlin. Matt Smith doesn’t seem fond of clothing at all.

Amy Adams is going to star as Janis Joplin in a biopic. You read that right – Amy Adams is Janis Joplin.

The new American characters for Torchwood are casting. We have Rex, who sounds like a match for Capt. Jack, at least professionally. Esther is the second coming of Tosh, and Oswald sounds evil, but human, so I’m not sure where they intend to go with it. Full descriptions available.

There’s a new animated version of The Wind In the Willows. I’d normally not care, but WETA is behind this, the special effects people from Lord of the Rings. First footage of Toad of Toad Hall is available.

The voice of Speed Racer and Racer X has passed away at the age of 83. I’m impressed he survived the shock of the movie a couple of years back.

Muscian Glenn Danzig was informed in an interview about a comic that depicted himself and Henry Rollins living together as much more than musical roommates. He lost his head, which is always bad, because that just inspires the comic artist to create a sequel.
