Neil Patrick Harris has joined Twitter. Confirmation has come from that reassuring "Verified Account" logo, and from Felicia Day. An hour after she sent out word that it was actually him, he had 15,000 followers and climbing. Granted, that's only 1% of Felicia's followers, but I have faith in Neil.

It appears that the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) has been postponed in the House of Representatives, virtually guaranteeing that it's not going to happen until at least 2011. I'd let it bother me more, but 1) If I can get fired from AfterElton.com for being gay, well, that's a trick I'd like to see; and 2) There aren't actually any jobs in the universe anyhow at this point outside efforts to influence/buy Congress.

In news that may make our editor cry a little because he has to cover it again, there's a rumor going around that TheCW intends to show the already filmed episodes of The Beautiful Life.

Below, the stars came out for the Hetrick-Martin Institute's 2009 Emery Awards in New York City. The awards honor individuals and corporations that exemplify the core values of the Institute, which is home to Harvey Milk High School.

In news that I can't decide is seriously cool, or a bit gross, you Brits with your socialized medicine, rationing, and total lack of innovation have built a "bionic bottom" for a man who had his damaged in a motorcycle accident. It's even remote controlled. And yes, I'm totally having trouble not making all those naughty comments I can't make here.

There's an awesome pictorial of 12 Beautiful and Unique Giant Statues. While I used the giant light up Gundam because it was visually stunning, it's the Tetris and the Swimmer that really caught my eye for style and quirkiness.

In a blatant attempt to garner page views from Twilight without having to read or watch it, I'll mention that the beautiful house that the sparkly vegetarian vampire lives in for the first movie is up for sale, for a paltry $3.3 million. Possibly related: My birthday is less than two weeks away.

In news that leaves me somewhat stunned and envious, we have gay marriages happening in Buenos Ares (though not Argentina at large), and now word that we may have had a pair happen in Kuwait. While I want to say a hearty congratulations to people in those locales, I'd also like to offer a serious WTF!?! to most of the United States.

There's a decent interview with Russell T. Davies about the new Doctor Who special that just aired in the United Kingdom, and is upcoming in the United States. That is, for those of you who have forgiven him for Children of Earth. And this isn't about that for a change.

We have mentioned that Peter Labarbera has called the FBI about a commenter on Joe.My.God making what might, under a very twisted microscope, be viewed as a threat against Christians. It's taken a comedic twist in that satire site Christwire has chosen to do a piece. And yes, Christwire is satire.

This past Sunday, GLAAD hosted their 8th Annual OUTAuction in New York City, and the stars came out to mingle and support the cause. Most notably to our readers, all our boys from One Life To Live showed up looking six different kinds of adorable, including one type of adorable that was newly discovered at this event.

In a move that surprises no one, the greatly overhyped Levi Johnston Playgirl shoot may have been...overhyped. There will be no substantial views of the wang that spawned a Palin, according to a statement released by the promoter to Gawker. 

Over at the official website for all things Adam Lambert, there are excerpts of his upcoming Rolling Stone interview posted. My favorites are when he calls Gene Simmons out for his comments on Adam's sexuality. You should take a read. The juggernaut that is Adam may be the only thing that can drown out the Twilight hype this week.

It appears that Playboy is for sale, and it appears that it's going to sell itself twice, and make that legal. One group would buy the magazine and entertainment properties, and another will buy the merchandising rights. But would it even be Playboy anymore without Hef? And will the new owner date triplettes and wear loungewear all day?

Tossing together a few random pieces in one, chefs in Columbia have created a dessert laced with Viagra, and are touting it as an aphrodisiac. Also, water is wet. In more sex news, a region in Spain is spending some government money to teach kids how to...self pleasure themselves in the best ways. It's aimed at 14-17 year olds. I don't know about you, but by 14, I could have taught a master class in the subject - maybe they should aim younger? And your random shopping tidbit of the day? Bacon flavored envelopes!

From the stupid criminal files, we have a guy using his cell phone for phone sex when he runs out of minutes. So he calls the only number he can make it dial, and continues the phone sex session - with a 911 operator.

For your musical interlude this morning, we get the Idol contestant I always thought was gay, but evidently wasn't - Blake Lewis. His new song reminds me a great deal of New Order from back in the 1980s.

In things that make you go Awww! we have an adorable dog saying hello to his master, fresh back from an overseas deployment in the military. This kind of unconditional love warms the heart.

And finally, CollegeHumor.com explains Fox's programming strategy, which is stunning in its simplicity. Hey NBCSucks, here's an idea you can copy!
