Morning Meme: Chord Overstreet Will Be Home For the Holidays, Duck Sauce's Bizarre "Big Bad Wolf, and Parker Young Is Shirtless

Matt Doyle talks about his favorite (dinosaur) and least favorite (Mark from Rent) Halloween costumes of all time in this article, but I can't get past the adorable picture of him at age three at the top of the page, so tell me what it says.

Taking a page from the Disney playbook, Warner is stopping all shipments of the Harry Potter films and will pull them from the market to be released in special editions. They're even pulling Deathly Hallows 2.

Chris March is designing his boss Andy Cohen's Halloween costume, and a mysterious photo shows him cutting a fabric that could be anything from gorilla skin to one of the Real Housewives' skin.

The collaborations on Mary J. Blige's new album are stunning, from a sing-off with Beyonce to a stripped down cover of out singer-songwriter Matt Morris' "Need Someone To Love You." This collection could be a must have when it's released November 21st.

Tim Horton's Coffee kicked out a lesbian couple for inappropriate PDA, which they say was nothing more than a kiss on the cheek. They say a minister made a complaint to the manager, who then threatened to call the police. Tim Horton's corporate response isn't just lacking, it's insulting. I suggest we all find somewhere else to get caffeinated.

Meanwhile, teen bride Courtney Stodden was kicked out of a pumpkin patch for wearing barely-there Daisy Dukes and posing in a provocative way with her 51-year-old husband.

Macaques are some kinky monkeys. In order to make sure the males don't know which offspring are theirs, the females only have sex as a group, never a solo act.

Bachelor Pad contestant Krisily Kennedy has come out as bisexual. Which raises the question of whether ABC is bold enough to make her the Bachelorette and give her male and female suitors. I'm guessing not.

Out disaster movie king Roland Emmerich is promoting his new film Anonymous. He admits he no longer feels the need to destroy the world in every film he does, but he can't imagine giving up his special effects, which he says he used to make the Shakespearean saga bigger and more real.

For reasons that are unclear to, well, everyone, head of anti-gay Chik-fil-A Dan Cathy ran in the AIDS Walk Atlanta 5K, and even won his age group. Does this one act mean I can have one guilt-free spicy chicken sandwich? What about waffle fries?

Speaking of companies with highly questionable politics, of the 20 Fortune 500 companies with headquarters in Minnesota, only one has gone on record as opposing the state's pending constitutional ban on marriage equality. So I guess we're still not Christmas shopping at Target.

Speaking of Target, they're the subject of a campaign from the Florida Family Association, who wants them to quit sponsoring Degrassi: The Next Generation. But they're not just objecting to the content of Degrassi – they're objecting to the fact that since The Trevor Project runs an ad during the show, Target is paying more to "subsidize" The Trevor Project ad. You heard right, the Florida Family Association wants more dead kids, as long as they're gay.

TNT's Falling Skies has begun production on a second season, which just makes me miss all sorts of shows that were actually good even more.

Chord Overstreet will be back on Glee before Christmas. And suddenly, I realize how soon Christmas is.

Towleroad has a transcript of the first time that Steve Jobs met a gay man. It's a product of the time it happened in, but like everything else, Jobs was ahead of his time.

Denmark is set to allow same-sex marriage next year, building on their "registered partnerships" and allowing for the religious trappings that sometimes go with it.

Which is just in time for Hermain Cain to decide he supports a federal Constitutional ban on marriage equality.

Which might not be necessary since six out of eight Republican presidential candidates support gutting the judicial branch, down to impeaching judges for rulings they don't like, and allowing Congress to overrule the courts, even SCOTUS. For such strict Constitutionalists, they have very little respect for the document.

Ben Affleck is going to direct Matt Damon in a movie, which is the opposite of how I always felt it would go. This time, it's a mob movie about Whitey Bulger.

Parenting a gender-behavior flexible child is complicated, even for politically active lesbian parents.

Time has named the Top 100 Songs. They do have a few odd rules, like each band only gets one song on the list. And then they broke them out by decade going back to the 1920s. I expect snicks to disagree with the 1980s list in 3-2-1…
