Morning Meme: Lily Drops F-Bombs on "Modern Family," "30 Rock" Writes Tracy Morgan's Rant Into the Show, and Is Big Dipper For Real?

2 Broke Girls creator Michael Patrick King found himself in the hot seat about the stereotypes on the show and the raunchy humor. Depending on who you read, he kind of threw a fit. Then he played the gay card. MICHAEL PATRICK KING:  I'm gay.  I'm putting in ‑‑ BETH BEHRS:  What?  Oh, my God. MICHAEL PATRICK KING:  ‑‑ gay stereotypes every week.  I don't find it offensive, any of this.  I find it ‑‑ I find it comic to take everybody down.  That's what we're doing.  QUESTION:  Does being a part of one traditionally disenfranchised group make it then carte blanche to make fun of other traditionally disenfranchised groups?

James Badge Dale is going from Shame to The Lone Ranger, signing up to play the title character's brother, Dan Reid. It's a step up for Armie Hammer, who had to play his own brother in The Social Network.

Blue Ivy Carter has become the youngest person to ever enter the Billboard charts, with "Glory," which featured her first cry hitting the R&B charts at #74.

Pat Buchanan isn't seeing himself as fired, but he blames "militant gay rights groups" and "people of color" for trying to getting him canned as opposed to his hate speech.

As you well know, I love monkeys, even primates that aren't technically monkeys, but look a lot like monkeys. Part of the reason I can say they look a lot like monkeys is monkeys all look so different. Now scientists have figured out that monkeys who are social have relatively plain faces so expressions are obvious, and monkeys that have complex, funny features are solitary animals. And guess what? Humans have relatively plain faces.

But for a human face that isn't all that plain, just look at Brad Pitt. Which a lot of gay men did on his first trip to New York City for an audition.  The oblivious young Pitt walked down Christopher Street thinking “My God, there’s a lot of guys in New York. But they’re so nice!”

How I Met Your Mother may go more than eight seasons, even after they meet the mother there are plenty of stories to tell. This kind of makes me sad, because I want Neil Patrick Harris free to go do bigger things.

A tabloid is trying to spread rumors that The Situation is gay, despite all those grenades he's fallen on during Jersey Shore. Frankly, I think we'll pass on taking him.

In a rather poorly written article, NPR reports that SCOTUS ruled that ministers are exempt from anti-bias laws. What the article really means is that if you're a minister, the church you work for can fire you, even if it's in violation of anti-bias laws, not that ministers have free reign, which is a terrifying concept.

Modern Family is set to do an episode in which Lily gets fixated on the f-word and says it all the time, as kids sometimes do. For the record, they had the actress say "fudge" and bleep it out.

Do you have the strength of a penguin?

30 Rock plans to address Tracy Morgan's anti-gay rant by having his character have an anti-gay rant on the show. According to news hunk Thomas Roberts, who has a cameo on the episode, "Liz Lemon writes Tracy's apology on the show and says he's not a homophobe, he's an idiot. That offends idiots, so while NBC is being picketed by the LBGT community, now it's also being picketed by idiots led by Denise Richards. She's the leader of the idiots."

Two Michigan ministers are suing the federal government, saying that hate crimes laws infringe on their First Amendment rights to free speech. The American Family Association is assisting in the suit, which a lower court ruled against. Hate crimes laws apply to actions, not words.

Speaking of Christian values, Newt Gingrich is campaigning in South Carolina and repeating the lie that marriage equality forced Catholic Charities out of the adoption business in Massachusetts. Of course anyone with Google knows they could have kept discriminating if they'd just sold some gold altars and funded the charities themselves.

The following celebrities have endorsed Ron Paul this week, likely without doing any research: Juliette Lewis and Nichole Scherzinger, and No Doubt. Except they didn't actually endorse him.

Microsoft is displaying a Kinect technology at CES this week that will allow kids to interact with Sesame Street and play counting games with the Muppets on the show. Kids today have it too good.

Madonna is naming her album MDNA, which is admittedly clever. MDMA reference for club cred, it's basically a texting version of her name, and it has "DNA" in it to denote that she's going back to old school Madonna.
