The folks over WorldOfWonder just did an interview with the man that makes Lady GaGa look like Lady GaGa. Or at least the newest glam version, as she appeared in "Bad Romance" which we showed you yesterday morning. It's interesting, in that I haven't spent as much time on my looks in 38 years as he did on hers for one three minute video. 

Rod 2.0 has a report up about Starlight, the oldest gay bar in Brooklyn, and the oldest black gay bar in the United States is facing closure because of a property deal that includes the building that has housed the neighborhood staple since the 1960s.

When I heard that Hollywood, lacking an original thought amongst themselves, had decided to turn board games into movies, the only one that I thought had a chance was Candyland, and only then if it was Tim Burton and Johnny Depp doing it while dropping a ton of acid.. But Ridley Scott got his hands on Monopoly, and I have to say, based on his pitch to the Los Angeles Times, I'm intrigued.

Proving it's never too soon to take a national tragedy and turn it into a three ring circus, the National Enquirer is going to be throwing napalm on the Ft. Hood shooting by suggesting that the shooter wasn't just a Muslim, but that he was a gay Muslim. They appear to have no evidence for it, but thought it might be fun to say.

The economy has an effect on everyone, even the filthy rich. Donald Trump is selling his Boeing 727 jet. Not because he needs money, but because he wants a bigger jet. It's already 5x the size of the planes that fly commercial into my local airport, so I don't know why he's complaining, unless he needs a dining room table that seats more than four.

Kathy Griffin is busy cutting a lot of deals. Her dance show may have been canceled before it ever taped, but then Life on the D List was renewed. Now comes word she's going to appear on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the one about sex. And she'll play a lesbian. 

From the teaser photo, there's a gallery of 20 weird and wacky guitars. A few of them may be NSFW, depending on your work's rules about erotic instruments that won't get you laid. Please consult your HR Department if you have any questions, because after looking at these, I don't know what to say.

Comcast Cable subscribers are about to be able to get their TV Everywhere, with Comcast opening up their VideoOnDemand library to up to three devices (laptops, etc) per subscription account, to be delivered over the network, at no extra cost. So that creepy guy sitting in Starbucks can be even creepier by watching Real Sex 22 in public.

A new study just released says that if a husband gets cancer, there's a 3% chance his wife will leave him. But if the wife gets cancer, the chance the husband will walk out on her jumps 7x to 21%. In a husband-husband marriage, well, there were no stats, but you might want to stop smoking and stay away from asbestos.

We go a little wild here playing Six Degrees of Joss Whedon here, so hang on to your hats: It looks like the canceled Dollhouse will have its final episode on January 22. Steven S. DeKnight, who wrote for Joss on Dollhouse, Buffy, and Angel is the executive producer of Spartacus: Blood and Sand premiering on Starz that same night. Also that night, Caprica will premiere on SyFy, which has Jane Espenson as an executive producer, and she wrote for Joss on Dollhouse as well as most of what he's written. We are living in the Whedonverse.

Filed under "out director Roland Emmerich just won't shut up", he tells MTV that he's got a big arc for the Independence Day sequels (remembering that he doesn't make sequels). You read that right sequels. With an 's' because he has an idea for two movies, when Fox won't even finance one. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm siding with Fox on this.

It turns out in Michigan, if you get into a fist-fight with your neighbor, and you bite him, and you are HIV positive, you won't just be charged with aggravated assault and assault with intent to maim. They'll also throw in a terrorism charge, because you attempted to use a biological weapon in the fight!

In happier HIV news (that sounded strange, but roll with me on this), Annie Lennox was honored by the Nobel Peace Laureates in Berlin for her work raising money for HIV treatment and education in Africa through her SING program.

There are times you just need to sink one, and if you're lucky, someone might  strip naked to help you do just that. A picture is worth a thousand words about this outfit from Japan, just just head on over and ask WTF?

Evidently tweaking a single gene on a chimpanzee would give it the same capacity for speech humans have. While I'm a huge believer that MonkeysMakeEverythingBetter, do I need to remind you that just because an animal can talk, does it have anything to say?

Sarah Palin is inviting Levi Johnston to Thanksgiving dinner? Does he have to wear pants? If not, will there be a family video? Oh, and Levi - remember that video of her talking while turkeys were slaughtered behind her? I'd take Tank with you. Just sayin'

Having nothing to do with anything, Tuesday, on The Daily Show, John Stewart pointed out that Fox News had spliced video of their tea party protest in September with the largish crowds in with footage of the smaller health care rally last week (where the Congressman forgot the words to the Pledge of Allegiance). The lack of ethics on the part of Fox News doesn't shock me but the following things do: 1) It took a comedy show to catch them; 2) Once it was pointed out, MSNBC ran the story, and Keith Olbermann had to sheepishly give credit to a fake news show for the investigative journalism; 3) Sean Hannity admitted it today.

I was totally raised on music from the 1950s and the 1960s. Mostly Motown. I love it. It's comfort music to me. I know "Proud Mary" is a John Fogerty song, but in my mind, it's always going to be a Tina Turner to me. But this version from Wednesday night, on Glee may be my new favorite. Maybe it's just the video, with the chairs rolling around, but honestly, Artie nailed it. Wow.

Finally, the characters from Star Wars rap about their lives. Some characters have more flair than others, but parts of this are truly inspired.
