Lambda Firm on Rules; No Straights Allowed

They have pulled up the ladder to their treehouse, and decided enough was enough.

Lambda, a self-described literary foundation for exploring the LGBT lifestyle has, since last year's winner was a straight female, thus oppressing them in their own backyard, changed its submission's guidelines to Literary Awards. A book may only be eligible if the author is sexually active in a manner that they approve of.

Looking back at all the oppression they've experienced, I guess they decided that if you can't beat them, join them.

Lambda Literary Awards: Breeders need not apply.

TLC Has New Equation 'Kate Plus 8 (Minus Jon)'

Gosselin stops hanging around vapid gal-pal long enough to remember he's a father.

All of a sudden, having camera crews around and a profitable television show isn't good for the children, and that's all he's concerned about, the children. Gosselin, the infamous one, send two cease-and-desist letters to TLC about filming him or his children. Sure, TLC had just announced it was dropping Jon's name from the reality hit, making it Kate Plus 8, but it's about the children.

Somebody should remind Jon that the air date of the show, complete with children, was April 16, 2007.

Stephanie Birkitt Pics

Now we see why David Letterman liked her so much; she can keep us going all night long.

Best joke of the evening;

During a taping of NBC's "Late Night," Jimmy Fallon worked it into his monologue: "A new book called `Why Women Have Sex' says there are 237 reasons why women have sex and Letterman knows the top 10."

Judge's Ruling on Michael Jackson's Kids

Whatever anyone says now about the King of Pop, most of us avidly googled news of his trainwreck of a life each time the media caught a whiff of it.

Despite outward sentiment ranging toward outraged and sympathetic, most of us are really just looking for something juicy.

And here it is. Again.

Toy Story Double Feature - Fun Fest or Snooze Fest?

The question is, will the appeal of a childhood classic be enough to convince parents to sit through 3+ hours of fidgeting and kicked seats?

Of course, it didn't stop us from enjoying each savored piece of Peter Jackson's trilogy, did it?

The release date for Toy Story 3 is scheduled to be June 18th, 2010.

Ted Williams' Last Wishes...?

For those not thoroughly outraged that Ted Williams of Red Sox Hall of Fame was abused after death, as detailed in tell-all book Frozen, simply because he is a famous baseball star, then just imagine the weirdos who took a wrench to your frozen, disembodied head for fun.

One really has to wonder which bright rising star at Alcor's came up with this break time mischief.

Only Google could make Ghandi a search engine priority.

Elizabeth Smart Transcript (Text)

Caution; may cause paranoia in already cautious parents.

Lowlights of the interrogation;

Smart: He had (the knife) to my throat and held it to my back as he took me away from my house and took me up into the mountains.

Tolman: Did he ever give you drugs or alcohol to lower your resistance?

Smart: ... And when I refused she said if I didn’t she would have Brian Mitchell come rip my pajamas off. ...

Consider those mild excerpts.

Rio de Janeiro picked to host 2016 Olympics

Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid all took their ball and went home today, as Rio de Janeiro snags 2016 Olympic spot with a last minute parade and a Centennial just weeks before the Games would start.

Stephanie Birkitt

Times are tough. Assistant to David Letterman, Stephanie Birkitt, was Letterman's former lover and alleged co-conspirator to blackmailing the popular late night host for two million dollars. She was also living with the blackmailer, Robert Halderman, which either earns her the title of "stupid criminal" or him the title of "nosy lover".

She denies all claims, but seems to be getting none of the public sympathy that Letterman is.

Michael Jackson's Autopsy

Was it murder? Or, at the very least, manslaughter by neglect?

Michael Jackson's doctor decides to take nearly 45 minute phone call, presumably with a leisurely jaunt around the grounds after giving Jackson, with pre-established lung problems, propofol, a medication that can cause suffocation due to inadequate airway management. The lack of monitoring equipment, as well as resuscitation, could be his downfall before a jury.

Letterman Blackmailed

" I know that you do some terrible terrible things and I can prove that you do these terrible things ... and sure enough what was contained in the package was proof that I do terrible, terrible things."

A punchline of its own?

Last night, David Letterman told a story of exhortation that probably won't make it into the screenplay that the blackmailer, a male CBS worker, wanted to write. Though it wasn't stated how the would-be-writer would blackmail Letterman and become a public figure following the autobiography of Letterman's sordid affairs, someone should have told him what all our mothers did.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.
