Weekend Meme: "The Vampire Diaries" Finds Klaus Hot Blond Brothers, "Battleship" Isn't Seaworthy, and Gene Simmons Trashes Madonna

We've already showed you the cover of Entertainment Weekly with Daniel Radcliff as the Entertainer of the Year. But some other categories are of interest – like favorite TV actor. Chris Colfer took the prize, with Neil Patrick Harris coming in behind him. H/t Biblio.

I'll be honest, this op-ed in The Advocate from adult film star Conner Habib is brilliant. As he reflects on the Fox ambush of teacher Kevin Hogan, he asks a fair question: Why is it OK to watch porn, but not be in porn? "For these opposers — “investigative journalists,” demonizers, and so-called “upholders of moral value” — there’s a separation between sex and pornography. Sex is meant, at best, to be natural but unmentioned. For surely, the parents of the students at Mystic Valley have had sex, as have the reporters and CEOs and affiliates of Fox News. Who knows what sort of sex they’ve had and continue to have, just one room down the hall from their children?"

George Clooney is set to make a biopic about the Smothers Brothers. For now he's just producing. While they seem quaint now, the Smothers Brothers were once considered racy and controversial.

I found this expansion of the Kinsey Scale via JoeMyGod, who chose 18 as his number. I'd like to think I'm somewhere around there, 18 or 19. How about you?

Evidently I was working on bad information when I said that Rick Perry's anti-gay video had more dislikes than any other video on YouTube. The counter on "Friday" was reset when the video was temporarily taken down. And some of Justin Bieber's videos number far higher, no doubt from parents forced to listen on repeat in the car pool.

It appears that Norway has run out of butter. Paula Dean is said to have fainted.

Dharan Ravi, the roommate on trial for spying on Tyler Clementi prior to his suicide, has refused a plea deal that would have had him avoiding jail time, and opted for a trial.

Abercrombie & Fitch just opened a store in Singapore, and as is their custom, they lined the sidewalk in shirtless muscle twinks, very few of which looked like they were from Singapore, unless things have changed a lot since I used to go in the late 1990s.

The Vampire Diaries have cast Klaus' brothers, also Originals, and yes, they're hot blonds. Brit Casper Zafer and Aussie Nathaniel Buzolic are set to come out of the coffins in recurring roles of Finn and Kol, respectively.

 Don't take this as me endorsing All American Muslim, but the Florida Family Association (they of the Degrassi boycott) is claiming to have gotten Lowes to pull their advertising from the show. The FFA's reasoning is “The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish.” Lowes admits to pulling their advertising, but says it was  because the show offended people on all sides of the political spectrum.

Meanwhile, hip hop king maker and activist Russell Simmons is angry. His group, The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, boasts hundreds of rabbis and imans who work together for interfaith understanding. And he's telling Lowes to change their mind before he organizes a boycott that crosses religious divides.

Devastating Explosions are great stress relievers.

The Nate Berkus Show will end its run at the end of this season, in May. The daytime landscape is crowded with new talkers, but I'm sad to see a gay go.

You may want to log off any straight sites you visit, because Lindsay Lohan's Playboy spread is spreading faster than…no, that's too easy. Still, no one needs to see that. Even if you're into girls.

Logo believes that RuPaul should be one of Rachel's gay dads on Glee. In or out of drag? Because that could be interesting.

The NBA has added sexual orientation to their nondiscrimination clause in the collective bargaining agreement.

At the top of The Hit List, which is made up of unsold spec scripts, is a biopic on Alan Turing called The Imitation Game, about the gay mathematician who changed the course of World War II when he cracked the Enigma code.

The local Catholic archdiocese is picking on the Gay Straight Alliance's AIDS awareness condom Christmas tree at Washington & Jefferson College. Go blow up their poll in favor of free speech if you've got a minute. And since when is a Christmas tree a Christian symbol?

Gene Simmons must have a show to sell, because the asshat who thought Adam Lambert should stay in the closet, now isn't happy that Madonna is doing the Super Bowl halftime show. "I love all karaoke singers. I like all the girl singers who get up and sing with tapes. Shame on you... I don't think it's appropriate." He's just jealous because Madonna wears less makeup than he does.

Did anyone recognize the music in Rick Perry's Brokeback Mountain pro-Christian/anti-gay ad? Someone did, and it's by Aaron Copeland, a 20th century American composer who also happens to be an outspoken gay Jew.
