Morning Meme: Lorenzo Marton After Marc Jacobs, "The A List" Talks Bullying, and Meet Justin Beaver

I’m not sure if the Joey Lawrence/Mark Ballas tango had anything to do with it, but ABC Family has ordered more episodes of Melissa & Joey. With the way new shows are dying on the main networks, they may have to upgrade it to ABC soon.

There’s something sadly profound about this New York Times profile of Lorenzo Martone on his post-Marc Jacobs life. It’s awful the marriage ended so quickly, but it’s great to see it chronicled in the newspaper like any other celebrity.

Prince Charles has called modern comedy “witless humour of cruelty and smut.” Also, turn down that music, and get off my palace lawn.

The Ig Nobels have been announced, honoring the improbable research that always upsets people when they realize it was probably tax payer funded. From using a remote controlled helicopter to collecting whale snot to determining which microbes cling to bearded scientists, it’s all here.

How will Seth MacFarlane manage the three-way Family Guy/American Dad/The Cleveland Show crossover? And will it offend me, or just make me wonder why Fox pays him so much money when he’s gotten so lazy about the writing?

Stephen J. Cannell has passed away at age 69. He created literally dozens of series, included The A Team, The Greatest American Hero and the campy Silk Stalkings. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Fox is moving forward with a musical based on the Beach Boys’ music. It’s not a biopic, but more a Mama Mia! style treatment centered around beach culture.

Having a smart person in a group doesn’t necessarily up the group’s intelligence. People of average intelligence who are tuned into social cues do however make the group smarter.

Meet Justin Beaver.

The screenwriter for Stretch Armstrong (never thought I’d read or write those words) acknowledges that fans are intent on star Taylor Lautner’s abs. And he figures that at some point they’ll get Lautner’s shirt off. Umm, has he ever seen Stretch Armstrong? There is no shirt, and no pants. He wears a Speedo. And I am a traditionalist, so don’t screw this up.

Here! Media’s Alyson Books imprint is going 100% ebook after being silent for nearly two years. It’s a sad day for gay books.

Sara Ramirez isn’t sure if Callie would go for a guy or a girl on Grey’s Anatomy if she and Arizona broke up. But she doesn’t see that on the horizon, because fans are so invested in the couple.

I can’t make heads or tails of this interview with Melissa Etheridge other than she thinks Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell will eventually be over.

The Real Housewives of Miami will have a drag queen named Elaine Lancaster appearing in both drag and as alter ego James Davis. The show was originally planned as Miami Social Club but was rebranded as part of the Real Housewives franchise.

The Social Network (which I loved) was tops at the box office this weekend with $23 million. Let Me In flopped with $5.3 million, and Renee Zellweger’s Case 39 tied with $5.3, but some return on investment was probably welcome on the film, which was shot in 2006.

I'm not entirely certain of Nicki Minaj’s commitment to the gay community, but she’s being consistent, so congratulations on her winning three awards at the 2010 BET Hip-Hop Awards. She picked up Rookie of the Year, People’s Champ, and Made You Look awards.

I’m not always a fan of Gawker’s take on a sensitive subject, but I do think if you stick around to the end of What It’s Like to Be a Gay Teen, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
