I'm not out to bash an 18-year-old, but wealthy socialite Kevin Michael Barba made waves when Gawker said he was looking for a publicist to bring the out teen on to the scene. Matt Rettenmund sat down to talk with him about what his goals are, but all I got was that he wants to be a young gay role model, to show that you can be out and be successful. But the part I don't get is what he's successful at – being born well? Getting invited to charity events? He sounds sincere, yet I just don't get it.

In a bit of brilliant branding, Science Channel is tapping Fringe's John Noble to host a show about freakish science experiments that didn't happen on a sound stage.

I'm yet to try Turntable.fm. I understand it's neat, but I don't really have the time to devote to another online social experience. But I may have to make time to try out the fad, since it seems solid enough for Kanye West and Lady Gaga to invest in the hot startup.

Competitors this year are Pink's "Fu**ing Perfect," Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," Katy Perry's "Firework," Rihanna/Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," Rise Against's "Make It Stop" and Taylor Swift's "Mean."

Phineas & Ferb is one of the truly creative cartoons (heck, show of any kind) on television. They've also been great about guest stars, including Clay Aiken and Jane Lynch. So tonight they air their first Disney Channel Original Movie, Phineas & Ferb Across the Second Dimension. I can't wait to see how the creators scaled it up to movie form. I also had no idea that it took 13 years to go from concept to air.

Are single people, gay or straight (but especially gays in marriage equality states) being turned into second class citizens? I'll be honest, it certainly feels like it.

The Princeton Review has released their annual list of top colleges, including which are the most GLBT friendly, and which are the least. Unsurprisingly, NYU tops the list of the best places to be gay at college.

So, we're both out of a job, dude. Taylor Lautner! We're screwed. It's over, dude. Titanic and Boogie Nights were a long time ago. I accept it. I had a good run and on to the next."
