Morning Meme: Chris Evans Is Guilty, Scott Caan Is Injured, and Will Chris Colfer Wear a Raspberry Beret?

Plus Mexico City's mayor takes on the Catholic Church, Iron Maiden parter som rockestjerner, and JJ Abrams' 7 Minutes In Heaven.

If Target thought people would forget about the $100k it gave to MN Forward, they were sadly mistaken. It’s not just the blogosphere now – the Washington Post featured the pros and cons of the case for corporate donations. Somebody is going to end up digging up something embarrassing about another company with a good reputation.

Scott Caan tore his ACL on the set of Hawaii Five-0. Fortunately he didn’t hurt that pretty face, or that amazing body or … What was I talking about? Oh, the injury. They’re just going to write it into the script. The show is stunt heavy anyhow, it’s not hard to make a case he got hurt doing police work.

You know how the Republican Party likes to say “It’s the economy, stupid!” Even when they’re not explaining things to Sarah Palin. Well, in a CNN Prop 8 editorial, a lawyer reminds the opposition, “It’s the evidence, stupid.”

The New York Times talks up the new gay-centric, heterofriendly hotel and entertainment complex going up in New York City. I’m just hoping it’s nowhere near Ground Zero.

General Motors has filed for an IPO. They hope to raise $18 billion, which if they turned 100% of that over to the U.S. government, would leave them only about $28 billion in debt to the tax payers. I remember when in front of numbers like “$28 billion” I used descriptors like “an astonishing” instead of “only.”

Chris Colfer is turning into a quote machine. He describes his own high school life as a “social llama” and can explain that. He was recently held hostage by a group of women in an elevator, “"It was funny, but I was terrified... It was like the Aldonza rape scene in Man of La Mancha, if you get my drift. That's kind of how I felt.”

Iron Maiden walked into a bar in Norway and racked up a $3,268 bar bill in no time. The actual receipt is pictured on the story, and I’m hoping they had a large entourage, because otherwise they’re dead of alcohol poisoning.

It’s not unusual for movie studios to clear the rights for any brand that appears in a film – that’s why you see so much generic beer that almost looks like Budweiser. But that’s normally about brands, not things. The designer of the chair that the Red Queen sat in for Alice in Wonderland is suing Disney for a “decoration fee,” which is patently ridiculous. But it won’t surprise me if the House of Mouse pays him to go away.

It had been reported previously that Glee wanted to do a Prince episode because Ryan Murphy is a fan. They still do, which I think would be great – I want Kurt singing “Raspberry Beret” in a montage scene. But it’s far from a done deal, and the George Michael episode, which had been reported as a done deal, hasn’t been written yet, or the music cleared. Bummer.

Jaime tips us to these new Tea Party shirts including “Obama wants to let the gays vote. That’s why I’m voting Tea Party.” Sure they’re parody, but I’m fairly certain that “Obama won’t let my company harvest the organs of illegal immigrants. That’s why I’m voting Tea Party” would be a big seller in Arizona.

Neptune is a lazy planet. Since it was discovered in 1846, it still hasn’t managed a round trip of the sun. But all that changes Friday, when the planet completes its lap like a fat kid taking the President’s Physical Fitness Test.

I don’t really know what to think about JJ Abrams’ latest movie pitch, called 7 Minutes In Heaven. It’s about the popular kissing game in the closet, but when these teens come out, all their friends are dead. I think at this point he’s just trying to see what the most ridiculous thing he can get Hollywood to throw $100 million at.

What would the crowd look like at a joint concert of Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block? Women my age? Do they bring their kids? How much underwear gets thrown at the stage? It sounds like we’ll get to find out on a national tour, possibly with Boyz II Men.

Michael Musto is accusing Regent Media, owners of Out, The Advocate, here!TV, and Alyson Books of holding his book hostage for over a year without publication. Actually, he’s accusing them of a lot more, and none of it is pretty.

The mayor of Mexico City is suing a cardinal of the Catholic Church for defamation for saying the Mexican Supreme Court was bribed into affirming marriage equality.  The Supreme Court has censured the cardinal, and Mayor Marcelo Ebrard says "We live in a secular state, and here, whether we like it or not, the law rules the land. The cardinal must submit to the law of the land, like all other citizens of this country." Wouldn’t it be nice if American politicians would sack up like this?
