Morning Meme: Mitchell and Cam Go Nuts, Tyler Perry Rolls In the Cash, and Whitney Houston To "Sparkle"

I've never done a juice cleanse. Frankly I think my body would collapse without toxins. But both Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet have tried them, so they know how insane they can make you. And they'll be channeling that into an episode of Modern Family this year. I just hope Gloria has Lily.

In the original script for The Playboy Club, our lesbian bunny was written as fairly butch, right down to her walk. The out Amber Heard didn't care for that portrayal and lobbied for change, which she got. "I really pushed to challenge that stereotype, because I know firsthand that some stereotypes don't always hold true. Who you have a propensity to fall in love with by no means determines how you carry yourself!"

The new season of Hot In Cleveland will be as full of guest stars as normal, with Sandra Bernhard and Kathy Lee Gifford dropping by. And Sean Hayes has a guest role as well, though I doubt he had to audition – he's an executive producer on the show.

A new report says that older gay men are much more likely to end up lonely than their straight peers, and even recloseted. This isn't entirely surprising, given the lack of legal recognition of their relationships and the reduced likelihood of them having children. Hopefully, advancements in equality will make this less likely in future generations.

I don't have a lot to add to this list of the "best coming out scenes to parents" on television. These are all excellent, if a little recent.

The CW has picked up The Carrie Diaries, a sort of prequel to Sex and the City. It's got quite a bit of distance from the beloved series, but it also has legal access to the characters in the HBO show, so it can make references to their younger selves.

Sir Elton John and George Michael are teaming up at the launch of Kaleidoscope, which is designed to pressure members of the Commonwealth to repeal their anti-gay laws.

In a rather drastic move to break her Disney image, Vanessa Hudgens has signed on to star as the one who got away in the thriller Frozen Ground, about Alaska's most notorious serial killer Robert Hansen (John Cusak). Hansen abducted 24 women, flew them into the wilderness and hunted them for sport.

Openly gay Irish Senator David Norris is set to rejoin the race for president with a substantial lead in the polls. Norris withdrew from the race in the wake of it being revealed he'd written for clemency in the case of a former partner convicted of statutory rape.

I'm fairly disturbed that 230,000 people have paid to subscribe to Glenn Beck's new online network for conspiracy theories about everything. And that even before advertisers chip in, his fledgling operation will have revenues of nearly $27 million/year.

Vulture asks is we're living in the Golden Age of Male Objectification. I hope not, because some boxers in trunks and super heroes in spandex really doesn't seem that sexy to me compared to all the T&A that straight men have been seeing for decades.

Lacoste has asked the Swedish police to stop Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik from wearing their clothes in public. I get it, but is this going to become a thing, with clothing brands like Lacoste and Abercrombie & Fitch trying to control who gets to wear their clothes in public?

James Franco encountered a 13-year-old fan at one of his art exhibitions who made James Franco fan art. He saw she had brought three pieces, including a yarn portrait of the unusual star. He bought them on the spot, and made her day.

Some Young Adult authors are exposing agents who try and degay their fiction before they'll sign the authors. I suspect Brent is about to chime in.

I'm not a fan of Nancy Grace, and can't imagine how she could be successful on Dancing With the Stars. But she got a new agent to help her, even though Nikki Finke doesn't understand how. "She’s among the most wretched small screen personalities ever."

North Carolina has fast tracked their constitutional ban on marriage equality, passing it through a house committee and the full house in under a day, and sending it on to the senate for an expected quick passage. Then it's up to the people of North Carolina to write hate into their constitution.

Tyler Perry is the highest paid man in entertainment, earning $130 million over a one year period. Rounding out the top five are Jerry Bruckheimer ($113 million), Steven Spielberg ($107 million), Sir Elton John ($100 million), and Simon Cowell ($90 million).

Chris Hardwick loves his big, gay dog.

Whitney Houston is in talks to star in a remake of Sparkle, with Jordan Sparks, about a female singing trio.

A man is suing White Castle burgers because he's too fat to fit into their booths. Seriously.

Finally, I'd like to direct your attention to this exhaustive study of gay rugby, and the different types of players and men in the sport. You're going to be over there a while, so don't forget to come back here for the last two pages!
