Morning Meme: Matthew Morrison Can't Have a Moment, Sir Elton Is a "Rocketman," and Jonah Hill Talks About Loving Your Friends

In a move that both instills outrage and yet is completely unsurprising, Hollywood is going to attempt to remake Scarface. How is it even Scarfaceculturally relevant at this point?

Go here. Move your mouse over the video, and experience what it looks like if you're not "drunk."

Former President Bill Clinton says that he was asked to do Dancing With the Stars, but turned it down due to lack of time. If he'd done it, who wants to bet Hillary would've insisted on a same-sex partner for Bill, just to be on the safe side.

Lady Gaga has picked up bullying as her new cause, as the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal is now complete. She's had Jamey Rodemeyer trending, and says she's meeting with the President to discuss what the federal government can do to prevent more dead kids.

I don't even know where to go with the news that Ted Haggard and Gary Busey are doing Celebrity Wife Swap together.  Pretty much everything that comes to mind is just plain wrong to say in a respectable publication.

Barely Feral.

Victor GarberAt the last possible moment it appears that Charlie's Angels has found Charlie. Alias and Broadway star Victor Garber is set to lend his voice to the series that premieres tonight.

While we have our own SnapCaps of The X Factor here at AfterElton.com, I am curious to see what Vulture does with theirs, written by out comedian and former MTV VJ Dave Holmes.

Journalism is dead, burned and scattered when the Daily Mail quotes unnamed sources at the National Enquirer about the state of Sarah Palin's marriage. I mean look at that – every entity named in that last sentence is completely lacking in integrity of any sort.

Sir Elton John is embarking on Rocketman, a pseudo-documentary about his life, from the period he won his scholarship at age 11, to the Royal Academy of Music, to present time. Billy Elliott scribe Lee Hall is Elton John and Miss Piggywriting, with Elton and David Furnish producing.

Chik-Fil-A is still trying to say they're not anti-gay while spending $18 million creating a marriage retreat that only believes in the "Biblical definition" of marriage. Have they read the Book of Exodus and Leviticus?

Weinstein has acquired This Must Be the Place, with Sean Penn as a gender-bending rock star Nazi hunter.

In a speech at the United Nations, President Obama said that all nations must respect the rights and dignity of gays and lesbians. Which seems to have gotten him another speaking gig, this time at the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner next month.

Karofsky and KurtThere's a spoiler over here about how Kurt and Kurofsky meet again in late October on Glee. And I have to admit, this one kind of shocked me. Did not see that one coming.

Rick Santorum thinks Google should edit the internet to clear his name of Dan Savage's definition. He thinks they'd do it for the Democrats. The hubris these Republicans have with facts is astounding.  There are ways to change the rankings, they're just unpleasant and expensive.

Kudos to the Marines, who were the only service to take up an invitation to recruit at a GLBT Community Center the day Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal was enacted. I'm kind of disappointed in my branch, the Air Force.

MTV loves shirtless werewolves so much that it's considering doubling the order for the second season of Teen Wolf to 24 episodes, on par Jonah Hill and Michael Cerawith a broadcast season.

I think everyone should just take a moment to listen to Jonah Hill explain male relationships through the eyes of Moneyball, but especially Superbad. This is Important, with a big "I," and not just for the contrast of the immature way the interviewer asks the question to the deep way Hill answers it.

SR: There's a bromantic aspect to this film. People talk about how gay Superbad was. Moneyball is even gayer.

JH: One of the greatest moments of my career was on the road promoting Superbad with Michael Cera and Chris Mintz-Plasse. We were showing the movie at colleges. The kids were losing their minds. But then there's that moment in the sleeping-bag scene when Michael and I say "I love you" to each other, and all those kids kinda squirmed in their seats in the weirdest way. James L. Brooks wrote the Superbad gang an e-mail after he saw it, and it was really beautiful for us because we all worship him, obviously.

SR: A seminal figure in American comedy.

JH: He watched Superbad with his son, and there was a moment where he looked at his son and realized his son couldn't handle the realization that he loved his best friend. The great romance of your youth is your best friend at that age. But when a comedy takes you from laughing your ass off to feeling something without a moment's notice — that's just different. It just is.
