Morning Meme: New "Glee" Previews, Valentine's Day In Nick Adams' Arms, and Chris Colfer Takes Manhattan

A couple things about Max Adler, who plays Karofsky on Glee:  He’s already heard the Lady Gaga song “Born This Way” enough to know the words, but he doesn’t know who gets to sing it. Also, he has great taste in who he researched for his role: Ricky Martin, Portia de Rossi and rugby player Gareth Thomas.

Sources are saying that Keith Olbermann is headed to Current TV, home of Bryan Safi. Further unnamed sources say he’s getting equity in the network, and if you really want to go out on a limb, even more unnamed sources say he’s going to mold the whole channel in his image, like Oprah Winfrey did with OWN.

AOL just bought the Huffington Post for $315 million dollars. In more shocking news, AOL still has $315 million?

Anne Rice says that she received an enormous amount of mail when she announced she was leaving Christiantiy, much from shocked believers. But what truly amazed her were the number of gay-friendly denominations, which she didn’t even realize existed.

Denis O’Hare says the door is open for him to return to True Blood at some point in the future, and there’s even a story idea. But for now he’s promoting The Eagle, which he costars with Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell, plus he’s getting ready to start filming J. Edgar.

Denis also takes issue with Twilight, “Real vampires don’t sparkle, they don’t glisten. They can’t go out in the day and they definitely aren’t celibate! Come on!” He also thinks that if a fan asks you to bite them, you don’t complain about it, you just bite them.

The X Factor will be open to contestants 12 and older, and will feature a $5 million record deal. This doesn’t make me any more likely to watch though, since I’ve never really enjoyed the youth acts on talent shows being mixed with the adult acts.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s return to Glee is going to be a substitute for Sex Ed, which makes me even more sad that Kurt and Blaine don’t go to school at McKinley anymore, because seeing Glee tackle sex ed from a gay perspective would cause heads to explode. Still, there are bananas and zucchini involved.

If you recall, at Sundance, James Franco did a performance piece about Three’s Company. At the time, he didn’t have the rights to the series or the characters, but the company has gotten in touch with him about expanding the idea into a movie. I’m not sure that not-gay Jack living upstairs from a homophobic landlord plays as well in 2011.

I’m not at all sure what Brit Jeff Brazier’s actual celebrity job is, but his NSFW talent certainly caught my attention, as did the fact that he’s willing to demonstrate it in public. "I feel lucky that I've been given a good few inches above average," he says, making him the second British celebrity to tell me details about his penis in the past two days.

Ben Cohen is about to launch a ton of media from his Acceptance Project, and he details some of the fun times he had on his trip to New York City last month, from dining with the Gotham Knights to meeting Andy Cohen – twice.

A British court has banned a man from having sex because of his low IQ. Alan, IQ 48, has been called able and presentable, but his sex drive with his boyfriend was ruled against because the court feels he doesn't have the capacity to understand the risks.

I cannot emphasize enough that the cartoon about unsafe sex and random hookups at My Fabulous Disease is NSFW for brutal, unapologetic language about sex and HIV. I also think it should be mandatory viewing in high schools around the country.

Nick Adams says his perfect Valentine’s Day is simple, but must involve cuddling. If you need me, I’ll be over there in the corner imagining what it’s like to cuddle in Nick’s giant biceps.

For those of you wondering if there was an anti-gay conspiracy to the GM commercial with the Glee cast that saw Chris Colfer, Diana Agron, and Cory Monteith absent, well rest easy. Agron was busy promoting I Am Number Four, Monteith was in Vancouver shooting a movie, and Chris had other commitments.

Some are speculating that Glee’s subject matter for the post-Super Bowl time slot showed contempt for football players and fans, rather than pandering to the audience as is expected. If that’s true, good for them for having integrity!

As long as we’re talking about Glee, they took more pot shots at the Lohan family during the Super Bowl special, and Dina Lohan is mad. But Michael Lohan thinks it’s hysterical.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, it was the most watched program in the history of television. And the only person who liked the Black Eyed Peas performance on Twitter was Martha Stewart.

Groupon thinks they can defend their tasteless ad. I think they’re horribly wrong about that.

I keep trying to bring myself to care about the internet getting a .GAY top level domain, but I can’t help but think it’s just going to be used for a bunch of sites to make bad gay jokes. But I’m going to throw my huge influence and weight behind the company bidding to run it that is not endorsed by the HRC.

The BBC iPad app gets released in the UK Thursday, then the U.S. in June, meaning I can watch Being Human day-and-date without waiting.

Marc Cherry says his new show is “Glee for conservative Republicans” or “Touched By an Angel crossed with Dallas.” As interesting as that last mashup sounds, I think I’ll pass.

Diane English says that if Sarah Palin runs for president, she’s going to ask CBS to bring back Murphy Brown, just so she can take shots at the former governor.

Are these show titles HGTV programs, or news specials on human trafficking?
