Morning Meme: "Beavis and Butthead" Hits Comic-Con, Jimmy Kimmel Hosts Gay Marriage Lottery, and Godric Returns!

In news I both love and hate, the brilliant Jane Espenson is set to bring us Husbands: The Series, starring Cheeks as a very out actor marriedHusbands to Sean Hemeon, a professional football player freshly and controversially out. Adding spice to the mix is their best gal pal, played by Alessandre Torresai. So what to hate about it? We have to wait until September!

In huge news, it's being reported that the Pentagon is set to certify Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal today. That means the horrible law will cease to exist in 60 days, and open service can begin.

Harry Potter hit two major landmarks yesterday: It passed Star Wars as the highest grossing franchise of all time, and based on the strength of a $624 million opening week, the franchise has now topped $7 billion and is still climbing.

For those of you still hyperventilating at the thought of Darren Criss joining How To Succeed In Business Without Darren CrissReally Trying for three weeks in January when Daniel Radcliffe's run is done, relax – he'd only miss 1.5 episodes of Glee. Maybe they can make that a Britanna episode

In one of the more infuriating verdicts in memory, a man has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for resisting arrest after he called police to his home for an intruder, locked himself in a room and refused to come out when ordered. So police broke down the door and pepper maced him. The judge wanted to sentence him to six months for being in his own home.

Central Park is going to have pop-up wedding chapels in Central Park on Sunday, but organizers swear they'll be elegant, not Las Vegas style. I understand people have waited for a long time for marriage, but on the off chance I was getting married, I'd be more interested in Rodiney Santiagohaving it my way than having it fast. It isn't a pizza.

Rodiney of The A List: New York says he goes on a date with a girl this season. I can't wait to hear what Austin has to say about that.
