Morning Meme: Danny Miller Attacked, Jerry O'Connell's Junk, and Riverdale Prepares for Kevin Keller's Arrival

Plus Ryan Murphy talks Glee, Guillermo Diaz stops by No Ordinary Family, and did Futurama just show the most twisted sexual pairing ever?

Well this sucks. Danny Miller, who plays Aaron on Emmerdale, was attacked by some men who seemed to confuse the straight actor with his gay character. He’s O.K., but the poor guy gets hate mail because he’s straight in real life, and now he gets attacked in the street because he’s gay onscreen.

Out writer/director/producer Bryan Singer opened up about the plot of X-Men: First Class, which has finally completed its sprawling cast. It’s got Xavier and Magneto in their late 20s, when Xavier isn’t yet in the wheelchair (or bald) . Kevin Bacon is playing Sebastian Shaw, and the Hellfire Club is part of the movie. Best news? The costumes will be more “comic bookish” than the other X-Men films, so I’m guessing less leather, more spandex.

Internet sensation F**k Me Ray Bradbury has gone completely meta, with video of Bradbury being told about the video, then his expression as he watches it for the first time.

Sookie has married Bill. Well, Anna Paquin has married Stephen Moyer, with Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammel, Rutina Wesley, Carrie Preston and Michael Emmerson present. Elijah Wood was also there, though I don’t see that connection. But in my head, the adorable little hobbit was a ring bearer.

Another judge has said that Augusta State University’s requirement that Jennifer Keeton do additional reading and exposure to the gay community was “academically legitimate.”  Keeton had been studying to be a counselor, but maintained that her religious views required she tell gays that ”their behavior is morally wrong and then help the client change that behavior.” When she refused additional education on the matter, the school moved to expel her.

Tying into the B.G.W.E. discussion of male full frontal nudity (a favorite topic of mine), io9.com had a rather humorously extreme review of Piranha 3D, claiming the film is anti-sex because Jerry O’Connell’s Girls Gone Wild-style character gets eaten from the waist down, screaming “They took my penis.” The severed member then floats toward the bottom as two piranha fight over who gets to eat it, with the winner then burping it out a moment later.

I really think websites that are dumb enough to ask incendiary questions on the Internet, where anonymity rules, deserve what they get. So when Zap2It asked “Is True Blood too gay?” the unsurprising answer was that of course it’s too gay, and it’s wrong! What’s the point, beyond proving anonymous Internet commenters love bigotry? And do these fans understand what they’re watching in the first place, or are they just in it for the boobs?

Dolly Parton is coming back to the big screen in her first starring role since 1992. She’ll square off against Queen Latifa in Joyful Noises for control of a small town choir.

Big Fat Whale takes on the topic of Gay Marriage Ruins Everything. Of all the reasons, my favorite is “Gay weddings mean gay wedding cakes. And gay calories are the hardest to burn.” Obviously not written by someone who knows how gay men can obsess about diets, but still funny.

Until the Flying Monkey puts down the banana daiquiri and finds time for your Fall Gay TV Calendar, here’s a completely daunting calendar with all the premiere dates for all the new shows. Glee still shows back on September 21^st, despite rumors I keep hearing of an earlier date.

Straight men manscape, and that’s fine. We’ve even run a column about how to shave “down there” but we had no idea the extremes that straight men were taking it – shapes, patterns, the “Campbell’s Soup” logo!

Out actor Guillermo Diaz has been cast in at least one episode of ABC’s No Ordinary Family as Detective Cordero. He’ll clash with his former Weeds costar Romany Malco, a series regular. 

Smallville is bringing Lionel Luthor back from the dead for the tenth and final(?) season. That means out actor John Glover is back for multiple episodes in some capacity. 

I probably should have brought this up last week, but on Futurama Thursday night, they went crazy with brain switching technology, and eventually Fry ended up in Zoidberg’s body, and Leela in the Professor’s body, and it was in those forms that they finally had sex. It’s definitely interspecies, but both characters bodies are males, so was it gay sex? What about the fact that Fry-as-Zoidberg had sex with the Professor’s body, which is technically his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson – is that incest? Come to think of it, maybe I shouldn’t have brought it up at all.
