Morning Meme: Guinness Gets Queered, Brad Goreski Is Styling, and Vince Vaughan's "The Dilemma"

Plus we take a shower with Delta Faucets, check to see if It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia if you're gay, and discuss Kurt's boyfriend possibilities on Glee.

First things first: Congratulations to Matt and Bobby for breaking the Guinness World Record for continuous kissing yesterday.  Their goal was to queer the Guinness World Records, and they did it! Good job guys, and I hope someone had Chapstick handy at the end.

Lady Gaga has been consistent and frequent on her message that Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell has to be repealed. She sent Sen. McCain a playlist of Little Monsters lobbying for repeal over the weekend, and now she’s announced a rally at 4 PM Monday in Portland, ME.

Slate has an exhaustive history of the different ways politicians have gay-baited their opponents and called their masculinity and femininity into question, and there were some in there I’d never noticed before. Politics is just pure evil.

Easy A came in second in the box office this weekend, with $18.2 million in tickets, which isn’t bad if you consider it cost $8 million to make. Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner in The Town took first place with $23.8 million.

I’ve been a fan of Paul Richmond’s art for years. The “cheesecake boys” are innocent and naughty at the same time. So it’s a shame a Chinese firm is bootlegging his art on eBay. He’s engaged the Chinese firm, but doesn’t expect that he can stop them.

Get your tickets now for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s “We Are Golden” event to raise money for their youth development program. The event is next Monday, September 28th at the Arena nightclub, and will feature Alec Mapa and Chely Wright, among others.

Sony has opened their vaults for Screen Classics by Requests, to put movies that have never been released on DVD out on the market. Pick your title, and they’ll burn you a disc, complete with original movie art if it’s available. It’s an on-demand system, which means if they have success with the first 100 titles, they could potentially open the vaults to everything, without incurring inventory costs.

As Tim Gunn continues to do battle with her, here are Five Things You Need to Know About Anna Wintour, in case we need to ride to Tim’s aid.

Murder music legend Buju Banton begins his trial for cocaine possession with intent today. The plan for the defense seems to be to argue entrapment.

Spray on clothes. With skinny hipster model. Your mileage may vary depending on your Twinkie consumption.

Sky has enlisted out comedian/actor/author Stephen Fry to pitch their new 3D television channel. But I bet they didn’t plan on him claiming credit for inventing 3D. First Al Gore claims the Internet, now Fry wants 3D.

TV Guide is saying that Chord Overstreet may just be a rival for Finn on Glee, and not a boyfriend for Kurt. That honor, they think, is for Blair, an openly gay high school junior at a competing school who will have a recurring role. I was really hoping for a series regular that went to McKinley High for Kurt to strut the halls with hand-in-hand.

 I haven’t slept since I saw this.

We already told you that the Joaquin Phoenix I’m Still Here wackiness was all fake. But I’m more than a little disturbed that David Letterman has been in on the gag since before that infamous appearance on his show.

Facebook has locked administrators our of the Boycott Target page. The social networking giant has a policy against pages being administered by entities that don’t have a physical presence in the real world, but only get involved when a fan page gets to a certain unnamed size. But it certainly means that Facebook is not a great place for activism.

This may be the ultimate cocktail machine.

Dancing for Gender Equality isn’t obviously gay (though it is highly suggestive), but it sure is fun. A guy says every time he posts a video of himself dancing in his shorts, it gets flagged as inappropriate by YouTube. So he and his hot friend got together and danced in a silly, suggestive way on the bed, but copying the choreography of a popular video of two girls dancing in their underwear, which they show picture-in-picture. If YouTube takes it down, there’s obviously some bias.

Depending on the newspaper you read, 10k-20k people marched in opposition to the Pope’s visit to the UK over the weekend. And while the picture I posted on Facebook of Sir Ian was a Photoshop on the shirt, it’s still pretty awesome. Also related: Curse you Simon Pegg!

Science fiction author Charles Stross has a good theory on why society has gone bats**t crazy lately, and it’s because of future shock. We’ve been headed there since the 1960s, but basically we’re right on schedule to lose our collective minds and devolve into cults because some people’s brains can’t process change.

Top Gun actress Kelly McGillis and Melanie Leis were joined in a civil union in New Jersey. The couple’s celebration will appear in the NY Times Vows section on September 26th.

Justice Anthony Scalia says the Constitution doesn’t ban discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation. So I’ll just mark him down as a “no” on overturning Prop 8.

While this post was about Michelle Williams’ nude scenes in Blue Valentine, all I took away was that Ryan Gosling had multiple nude scenes, which they added as an afterthought.
