Morning Meme: David Furnish Is a Hot Daddy, a Night With Rock Hudson, and Gay Boy Problems with Jeffery Self

While Sir Elton John was trying his best to make Saturday Night Live watchable, his partner David Furnish was photographed out and about with a new tattoo on his arm: Zachary. Now I just want to know if the person who wrote the article at x17Online.com knew what they were writing with “in West Hollywood, the smiling 48-year-old daddy sported fresh ink on his forearm.”

A new study in California finds that older (50-70) gay men are more likely to suffer depression, live alone and suffer from issues like high blood pressure than their straight counterparts. Of course that could be because they can’t get married and take care of each other, just a thought.

Hop looks to have finished with a respectable $38.1 million for the weekend, higher than expected. Jake Gyllenhaal may still have a career after Source Code (aka Groundhog Day meets Déjà vu) had a decent $15.1 million opening. Suckerpunch scored one of the worst second weeks drops in history, scoring only $6.1 million.

The more I read about Rubber, the story of a murderous tire out for revenge, the more stunned I am that they seem to be pitching this as an art house film, as opposed to something that Troma would laugh at.

In this Glee spoiler, I’m not sure if I should call it a spoiler. Just because something is happening doesn’t mean you know what it means. And the fact that Sue Sylvester is dressing up as David Bowie doesn’t really give much away.

It turns out that nasty comment that Miley Cyrus made about Rebecca Black? It’s being called a “misquote.” It seems she actually said it about her friend, Justin Bieber.

Fox News has hired the bag of meat with orange hair for their morning show, since he seemed to be the only possible Republican presidential candidate that hadn’t/isn’t on the Fox News payroll.

Openly gay progressive Republican Fred Karger just won a straw poll in New Hampshire. I think he should probably savor this victory like it’s his last.

It turns out you can make plastic out of chicken feathers instead of petroleum, which is good since we seem to be having supply issues with petroleum. But isn’t Colonel Sanders rich enough?

Activists are reviving a bill that would require California schools to teach about GLBT historical figures alongside other minorities in history. This is great on several levels, since we get our stories told. With the size of California it also provides a counterbalance to Texas requiring their text books be stripped of anything remotely liberal.

If you love to read about old Hollywood, then Mark S. King’s amazing “My Sad and Trivial Night with Rock Hudson” is a must read. It wasn’t at all what I expected when I started reading it, and kind of blew my mind. But much of what Mark writes at My Fabulous Disease blows my mind.

Charlie Sheen bombed in Detroit this weekend. I mean, people walked out of his show. What else would people in Detroit have to do these days? (Please don’t hurt me! I even drive an American car.)
