Morning Meme: Lifetime's "The Blue Lagoon" Finds Stars From "Home and Away," Washington State Moves Forward With Equality, and Ricky Martin for MAC Viva Glam

Did you miss me? Because I brought presents, if I can just find time to prepare them for you guys. I have about 800 pictures, interviews with Travis Wall and Nick Lazzarini (they're huggers!), Alec Mapa, Bruce Vilanch and Dixie Longate. I have stories galore, from the over-the-top dance parties to just how filthy Idina Menzel's mouth is when she's not singing. I do want to thank Don and Rich at Atlantis Events for having me and Andrew Oldershaw of Fifteen Minutes for facilitating everything. That will all come later in the week, so let's get to our Meme. I hope you're ready for Meme Classic after all the tasty new writers you had last week!

Lifetime has cast the leads in their contemporary remake of The Blue Lagoon, and they went Down Under to grab Brenton Thwaites and Indiana Evans from Home and Away. But the big question is if we get to see peen. Basic cable is certain to disappoint.

While I'm loathe to promote anything about The New Girl, if you head over to Fox there's an interactive music video for the show's new theme song. Make the right choices, and Zooey stumbles into the cutest gay couple. Make more good choices and Max Greenfield loses his shirt, repeatedly. There may be more good outcomes, but that was all I could take.

There seems to be some debate about how solid the decision is, but right now, neither of the Best Song nominees will be performed at the Oscar telecast, which is a shame, because staging for Rio and The Muppets could have been epic.

Chris Geidner is reporting the while the main ruling on Prop 8 won't happen until tomorrow, someone briefly published (and quickly removed) the ruling denying standing to the deputy clerk in Imperial County.

Her Majesty's Government is denying a posthumous pardon for Alan Turing for his gross indecency conviction that led to his suicide. My "Pompous Lord" translation is a little rusty, but I think Lord McNally's reasoning is something like "the dirty faggot knew it was illegal back then and still decided to blow a guy." Or something to that effect.

One Million Moms is still trying to get their dozen or so members to convince JC Penney to fire Ellen DeGeneres as their new spokesperson, seeing as she's a disgusting lesbian. But it seems that JCPenney just hangs up when they call. I wonder if they have any new South Pole thermals I can buy to say thanks?

Lady Gaga has 19 million Twitter followers hanging on her every word, but that's not enough, so she's launching a new social media site called LittleMonsters.com.

When Brett Berk sent over a piece about a new Subaru sports car, I was about to get upset, because it's a sexy little thing and I wanted a Subaru to start with for the snow we get around here before he recommended my Suzuki. Then I find out the car, jointly developed with Scion, is just rear wheel drive. On a Subaru? That's blasphemy!

Clint Eastwood is a well known Libertarian Republican, so it was kind of shocking to see Karl Rove turn on him for his "Obama love letter" Chrysler commercial. Things would get ugly fast if Clint actually cared what anyone thought.

Even I think this is taking bacon too far.

Gay kids have interesting and complicated relationships with their parents and whether they feel proud of them. Michael Musto reminds us to look at the small things to feel the love.

Not only did Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) get taken in by a fake abortion story on TheOnion.com, it was funny enough to get an actual comment from TheOnion.com. “We’re delighted to hear that Rep. Fleming is a regular reader of America’s Finest News Source and doesn’t bother himself with The New York Times, Washington Post, the mediums of television and radio, or any other lesser journalism outlets," said Joe Randazzo, editor.

Karl Lagerfeld is never shy. Asked about Adele, the designer says “The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.” Ouch.

The House Judiciary committee in Washington passed the marriage equality bill yesterday, sending it to the full house for a vote, possibly by Wednesday. The governor is leading the charge for equality, so the only thing standing in the way is the likely referendum of the people that would delay the bill until after the November elections, assuming opponents collect enough signatures.

Brian Moylan over at Gawker finally said what I've been thinking for several years: Why do I have to wait for a show to slow burn into something worth watching? Can't it be good in the first few episodes?

Police are looking into a vicious beating of a gay man outside an Atlanta grocery store that was videotaped and uploaded by the attackers. Any help in identifying the attackers is needed.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka left the babies at home and headed to the Super Bowl this weekend, but their minds were never far from their kids. "They're thankfully in the new huggy, clingy, head-on-shoulders phase, which is fantastic. It'll brighten up a sad day every single time."

MAC Viva Glam have new lip shades by Nicki Minaj and a special edition of their clear lip conditioner signed by Ricky Martin. 100% of the sale price goes to the MAC AIDS Fund.
