It seemed as if all of a sudden all kinds of shite on Kelly Clarkson popped up on the Net: people were disgusted by how fat she’s gotten. WTF?! She’s not fat. She looks fine to me. Wasn’t one of the reasons she won American Idol several years ago she looks like the girl next door? Well, having seen pictures I must say she does indeed look like an average American girl. Fortunately, some of the folks commenting on her current body do point out there are more qualities too Ms. Clarkson than looking thin, like here. And in case you were wondering: no, I’m not a fan of Ms. Clarkson. She has a good singing voice, but musically it’s just not my cup of tea.

Earlier this month Hillary Clinton made it a point of recognizing June as gay and lesbian pride month. On the other hand President Obama is still awefully silent when it comes to his GLBT agenda…

Unlike film director Ky Dickens, who turned her experiences (facing homophobia from the sisters in her Vanderbilt sorority) into a movie called “Fish out of water“. In it she not only tackles homophobia, Ky also takes on hate monger Fred Phelps. I think the trailer looks very promising.

And in the meantime Hong Kong government have announced that the Domestic Violence Ordinance will have an amendment to include same sex couples. Unfortunately, marriage for same sex couples is still not an option.

Europe is voting for a new EU Parliament, and it looks like the majority is leaning to the right. (FYI: I gave my vote to a left party.) I’m not happy with the outcome.

I was just reminded of Stephen Colbert as a serious actor in L&O: Criminal Intent. It was pretty good. So good, it took me a few moments to realize the actor who looked so much like Stephen is, in fact, mr. Colbert himself!

Finally, I’m stoked to see The Gaslight Anthem play Effenaar on Tuesday

Thanks to Dorothy Snarker.

Cate Blanchett

Scarlett Johansson

Now, I don’t watch Lost (I did watch a few episodes to see what everybody was talking about, but Lost somehow didn’t appeal to me - despite the attractive ladies: Elizabeth Mitchell, Sonya Walger, Julie Bowen, Reiko Aylesworth, Wendy Braun) but Lily in a tux looks mighty fine to me.

My friend Stacey is in awe of Cate Blanchett (I think her role as Spanko Spalko in the last Indiana Jones film is hilariously camp). So that one’s for her. And Johansson… She does look good in a suit, eh?
