Morning Meme: Jonathan Groff Is Suing Mad, Heather Morris Is the Funniest, and Elect Canada President

The Star Trek sequel has just signed Benedict Cumberbatch to an unknown role. It's possible that they just intend for him to play an alien without using makeup by relying on those improbable cheek bones, thereby freeing up money for extra lens flares.

So Pixar is doing a film set entirely inside a girl's head, with characters playing her different emotions. In other words, they're animating one of the favorite shows of my childhood, Herman's Head.

Congratulations to Glee's Heather Morris for winning TV.com's Favorite Comedic Actress

First off, POTUS is looking mighty fine without the shirt. Second, how do you recruit people to play football with Obama? Who is going to tackle him with Secret Service everywhere?

So there's an interesting rumor that Google, Amazon, Facebook and Twitter are considering a coordinated blackout of their sites to protest the SOPA bill. I'm trying to imagine exactly what the world would be like if Google just switched off, even for ten minutes. And then we couldn't update our status on Facebook or tweet our confusion. What kind of world is that?

There's no puppy love for this guy after he left his puppy unsupervised and it got drunk. If puppies are really starter children, he just failed the test.

Zooey Deschanel has filed for divorce, but I bet she did it adorkably, perhaps wearing overly prominent glasses and perhaps with an unusual pen. She definitely played the ukulele.

Sir Ian McKellen is quite convinced Shakespeare was gay. “No doubt Shakespeare was gay. His predilection was evident from his works. An unmistakenly feminine portrait of his patron Henry Wriothesley adds evidence that early sonnets to ‘fair youth’ were probably meant for males. Married, with children, he left his wife in Stratford to live in London. I’d say he slept with men. ‘The Merchant of Venice,’ centering on how the world treats gays as well as Jews, has a love triangle between an older man, younger man and a woman. And complexity in his comedies with cross-dressing and disguises is immense. Shakespeare obviously enjoyed sex with men as well as women.”

The Stonewall Democrats have announced a permanent leadership team, with (my friend) Jerame Davis appointed Executive Director or the organization. Jerame isn't part of the Beltway cocktail circuit and will bring a fresh perspective and energy to the organization, just in time for the elections this year. Congratulations, Jerame.

ABC is set to order a pilot for Last Resort, which isn't as lighthearted as it sounds. It's a dystopian near-future about the crew of a nuclear submarine that refuses to fire their missiles when ordered, and escape to a NATO outpost and declare themselves the world's smallest nuclear nation, with 24 warheads.

Meanwhile, out apocalypse director Roland Emmerich is dipping his toes into television with a show about a astrophysics student who finds himself bouncing between heaven and hell as the 2012 election approaches. And I think he means actual heaven and hell, not BBC World News and Fox News.

Meet Kirk and Nate Meuller, the adorable gay identical twins who are top iPad designers, with work for Martha Stewart and Conde Nast. I really don't know how to describe the profile, but it's a must read.

I have to ask this question, because it's been bugging me ever since I read this profile on Simon Doonan's new book and his (admitted) sweeping generalizations about "gay food" and "straight food." If this book was written by a straight man, and not a gay man, wouldn't we be calling it offensive?

Jonathan Groff is headed to The Good Wife, where he'll play a plaintiff suing a software company after his sister disappears during a peaceful protest in Syria.

Washington Governor Gregoire (a Catholic, so wait for the backlash) is introducing legislation for marriage equality in the state, which currently enjoys "everything but the name" civil unions. "It is time, it is the right thing to do, and I will introduce the bill to make it happen."

I could write up how Alabama's Hey, Homeauxs shirts are just childish and offensive, but I think it's more fun to let a straight LSU alumni take care of it.
