Morning Meme:Jane Lynch Does Christmas, "Supernatural" Gets Freaky Backstage, and Does "Bridalplasty" Set A New Low?

There’s something to be said for the fact that a married lesbian (Jane Lynch) is going to be narrating TV’s Funniest Holiday Moments: A Paley Center for Media Special. It’s a clip show, but this is absolute family programming. 

Bob Schreck, an out gay man, is heading up the new Legendary Comics brand. This on top of new Disney Studio head Rick Ross, and we’re having a decent year taking over media empires. The Gay Agenda advances! Bwahahahaha!

The It Gets Better Project has spawned a t-shirt line, and next a book of stories of inspiration. Maybe it can win the American Library Association’s Stonewall award next year.

Stephen Fry has written an extensive post about the comments attributed to him concerning the sex lives of women. I’m just going to admit I haven’t made it all the way through yet. I didn’t realize until just now that it’s five pages long.

Well, this is new. One week before Conan launches, it comes out that Leno and Letterman are sucking so badly in the ratings that The Daily Show beat them in the month of October in the main demographic.

Jones Soda now comes in Bacon Flavor.

ABC has greenlit a new reality show from Mark Burnett about people who race around the world completing outrageous challenges. No, you did not slip and fall into the Hot Tub Time Machine.

Tim Burton is going to direct Johnny Depp in a movie that will make a mountain of money. Does it really matter what it is? O.K., so that it’s a Dark Shadows remake is slightly interesting.

NBC canceled Undercovers. I don’t think this affects the gay headcount, but I never watched the show.

MTV is getting back into the music video business. But it doesn’t want videos from the artists. It’s going to make its own videos, with movie stars and top notch directors with high fashion concepts. It thinks it’s Lady Gaga.

If you use Twitter, you know that you can “favorite” a tweet from someone else.  It’s kind of like bookmarking a web page. It’s how I collect dozens of tweets over a week to create Twitterwatch. But if you favorite a tweet, anyone can see that you favorite it. So Sarah Palin creating a favorite of an Ann Coulter tweet with a church sign talking about our “Taliban Muslim Illegally Elected President” probably wasn’t a bright move.

Taylor Swift’s new album went platinum in a week. Albums rarely go platinum at all these days. This means a million teenage girls are now deliberately having bad relationships so they can write bad poetry about their exes. 

MGM has started bankruptcy proceedings and plans to get Bond 23 into theaters for November 2012, assuming the world hasn’t ended by then. But I guess James Bond would have saved us if the world was ending, right?

Stonewall has named Tory MP Chris Grayling their Bigot of the Year. I’ll be honest, from what the article says he did, it wouldn’t even rate in America. Have you Brits met our bigots?

Martin Sheen is going to play Uncle Ben in the new Spider-Man reboot.

The entire internet, all the way to Neil Gaiman himself, is up in arms over a print magazine called Cooks Source that evidently populates their publication with allegedly plagiarized articles from online. When an author complained, they told her that they had improved her writing and should have charged her to print it. Don’t let my boss hear that, because I can’t afford what they should charge to clean up my text.

Ken Roht is writing a vampire film-musical, because that’s the only thing that isn’t done to death in the vampire world. He plans to have former Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson star in it.
