In what is bound to be one of the best looking indie movies to be made anytime soon, David Boreanaz will be starring with Stephen Dorff, Dominic Purcell, Stephen Lang and James Woods in Officer Down.

In a study that is complex enough for me to completely screw up with a summary, new research shows that young black gay and bisexual men are up to five times more likely to contract HIV than other groups. In a sure to be controversial hypothesis, the researchers suggest that the higher rate of infection among young black gay men is due to this group strongly preferring "dominant masculine partners," while also equating masculinity with lower HIV risk.

Desperate Housewives star Ricardo Chavira (Carlos) was arrested for suspicion of DUI. Considering he’s currently involved in a storyline about Andrew accidentally killing his TV mother with a car on the show, it seems slightly ironic.

GLAAD tries to explain exactly why Glee matters. And it does matter, for all those reasons. But it matters most because it makes you want to go along for the ride, so you don’t realize you’re learning tolerance.

Lifetime has announced Project Runway All Stars is in development. Not to nitpick, but if the show really launched designer careers, would they have time to compete on an All Stars series?

Simon Cowell is now just throwing things at the wall and seeing if a TV network is going to pay him millions of pounds to put it on television. The latest game show has contestants picking red or black and spinning a wheel. If they guess right ten times they win a million pounds. Who would watch this? Still, it’s better than watching Bravo.

These "Painterly Orgies of Terrible Taste" are NSFW, but oddly intriguing. I kept finding details in each image.

Basically, America is getting old, fast. And because of that and changing social customs, traditional families, with husband, wife and kids, are at an all-time low, with same-sex couples and family on a fast rise.

It turns out that leaked Avengers script was an old copy, so production is full steam ahead. But it wouldn’t surprise me if Samuel L. Jackson found a gift wrapped shredder in his trailer.

President Obama is scheduled to give his first post-Osama Bin Laden interview to 60 Minutes this Sunday night at 7PM.

When demographics and DVR numbers are counted in, things may not look so bad for Happy Endings getting renewed.

For the first time, Nielsen says that TV ownership dropped in the United States, and is most likely attributed to poverty. I thought television was how you kept the masses sated while the wealthy ruled the roost?

You know how sometimes I tell you to go read something blind? This is one of those times. Read both pages. Do it.

This open letter to Larry Kramer is from a young gay who feels marginalized and under-appreciated for his generation’s contributions to the GLBT rights movement. But while he has some points, the younger generation always feels belittled by the older generation. That’s why we hear stories of walking two miles to school, uphill both ways in the snow. It’s life. Get over it.

I’m guessing homeowner associations in San Francisco have different priorities than in most places.

The new James Bond movie plans to raise $45 million of their financing from onscreen product placement. I say Chevrolet should pony up to have 007 to drive a minivan.

Kristen Wiig says she’s retiring two of her biggest Saturday Night Live characters. Readers know that I personally wish Kristen Wiig would just retire completely, since she really only has one character.

Sally Kern has been officially told she was a bad girl for making those racist, sexist comments last week. She even voted for her own censure. But she’s still in office, hating gays, blacks, women…

ABC has officially ordered Celebrity Wife Swap. Kill me now. But what’s this? Noted Glee-hater and nutjob Victoria Jackson says she’s been approached about being on the show. That’s it, ABC, aim high.

Bill Gates explains both the facts, and the politics of nuclear energy in a way that makes you truly understand his genius.

'Coal kills fewer people at one time, which is highly preferred by politicians,' he says."
