Kung fu legend Bruce Lee's former residence in Hong Kong will be put up for sale after a plan to turn the property into a museum dedicated to the icon failed, a report said Wednesday.

Philanthropist Yu Panglin, who owns the mansion, which became a rundown "love hotel," said he was planning to sell the property for $23 million after talks with the government for the museum collapsed last year.

"I'm no longer considering (the museum plan) since the government is not supportive," the 90-year-old billionaire told Hong Kong's Chinese-language Singtao Daily in an interview.



"I'm running out of patience, I don't want to wait anymore," he said, adding that the hotel owner had failed to pay rent for two years due to poor business, with the property in urgent need of refurbishment.Lee's legions of fans have long-demanded a significant hometown tribute to the Chinese-American star, who died in 1973 at the age of 32 after helping to bring martial arts to the mainstream with classic kung fu films such as "Fists of Fury" (1971) and "Enter the Dragon" (1973).

However they were left disappointed after the Hong Kong government shelved the museum plan in June last year, saying it failed to reach a consensus with Yu following two years of negotiations, without giving details.

Yu told Singtao Daily the government rejected his proposal to expand the mansion -- Lee's last residence -- by adding three floors to include a cinema, library and martial arts training centre, which were his conditions to donate the property.




The 5,000 square-foot two-story house in Hong Kong's upscale residential district of Kowloon Tong was turned into a short-stay hotel with rooms rented for as little as US$25 an hour, usually to amorous couples.

Yu could not be reached Wednesday for comment but Lee's fans urged the billionaire to reconsider his plan.

"If the house is sold and re-developed or demolished later, I think the Hong Kong people and Bruce Lee fans worldwide will be very disappointed," Wong Yiu-keung, chairman of the Bruce Lee Fan Club in Hong Kong, told AFP.

"We hope the government can try to persuade Yu again," he added.

The star died in Hong Kong after a severe reaction to medication. His fans have criticized the lack of a larger memorial to their hero in his hometown, except for a statue on the waterfront Avenue of Stars.

Authorities said in October last year a gallery would be set up in Lee's honor at the government-run Hong Kong Heritage Museum.

Rumors about wedding bells for Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have been heating up as of late but sources close to the KimYe camp are denying that nuptials are going down. According to Kim’s bestie Jonathan Cheban, he has not heard anything of the sort. ”She wrote me this morning and didn’t mention it,” he told Huffington Post‘s Rob Shuter.

Kim’s producer, Ryan Seacrest, had been fanning the flames by hinting that Kim wanted a ring and that, “I think we could definitely see an update on this [proposal] story on Monday.”

If a proposal were to happen, the lovey dovey pair are in the right place. KimYe has been enjoying a very public and romantic European vacation including PDA-ing it up in Italy.

Kim recently posed in a wedding dress for a Tatler feature, where she opened up about her relationship with West.

“When I look back at interviews I gave [about previous boyfriends] saying, ‘We’re talking about marriage, etc.’ It’s embarrassing. And I really believed it at the time!” she said. “I’m such a hopeless romantic that I’ll always believe the next one is the one.”

Damian Lewis - Nick Brody on Showtime's Homeland - has played so many Yanks that "at this point, I don't know what accent will come out when I order coffee in the morning." The accent this a.m. is British, because that's what he is, but you'd be forgiven for not knowing, since he's so good at playing classically coiled, laconic American men (see also HBO's Band of Brothers). So good, in fact, that it's startling—even anticlimactic—to find that Lewis is a bit of a goofball. "I know it looks like I'm thinking deep thoughts on the show," he says, "but I'm probably just trying to remember my next line." Whatever he's actually doing, as Brody - a U.S. Marine turned terrorist mole/congressman - he has made one of TV's most fascinatingly fucked-up men both credible and sympathetic. "He's a lot of fun to play," says Lewis, who just won an Emmy for the role, "because he behaves badly in extremis." Think Breaking Bad's Walter White, only with hair, abs, and hotter sex. (It helps when Claire Danes and the jaw-dropping Morena Baccarin are the bedmates.) Come to think of it, Lewis's greatest feat might be his simplest: bringing sexy gingers back.

Oh, hey, Martha Jones.

Last night, season 2 of Project Runway All Stars premiered with a new cast from season past, a new host--Carolyn Murphy, and newer, bigger prizes.

Our new host is no Heidi. She's still a bit shaky and uneasy. She also struggled on the judging panel. It's difficult to pull off host and judge. That's why most reality shows employ multiple people for the roles. Heidi does it because she's Heidi, but I think the All Stars producers would do well to break from format in the future. Thankfully, we still have Joanna Coles filling Tim Gunn's role for the all stars. She didn't get much time to talk last night, but she was already there to tell the designers just where they were failing.

Our cast is must different from last season. The first edition of all stars gave us a cast that mostly finished near the top of their seasons. In fact, only one member of the season one cast, Elisa Jimenez who was eliminated first, didn't finish fifth or higher. This season, we have five designers that didn't make it to fifth place or higher. Season two also has more designers from more recent season, which means we might see a little less growth from the last time we saw them. There are also no season 4 designers, which means we don't have anyone from the best season (the season Christian won). This isn't to say the season won't be great. It already feels better than most of the recent regular seasons (except 10). I just found myself less excited by most of the returning designers. However, the designs from last night still showed plenty of promise.



Joanna announced the first challenge would be a team challenge. I hate team challenges, but because everyone was fresh and ready to get going, this had a little less drama. Each team had to create a mini collection with one look per team member. The winning designers, and as it turned out the entire top three, would come form the winning team. The losing designer, and the entire bottom three, would come from the losing team. This is Project Runway All Stars so no immunity would be offered to the winning designer. The theme for the collections was supposedly "attitude." It was really more "pick one of these adjectives," but it's the first challenge so I guess it has to be broad. The teams formed as follows:

Team Bold:
Joshua McKinley – season 9, first runner-up
Peach Carr – season 8, 11th place
Laura Kathleen – season 9, 5th place
Emilio Sosa – season 7, first runner-up
Andrae Gonzalo – season 2, 6th place
Suede – season 5, 5th place

Team Confident:
Kayne Gillaspie – season 3, 5th place
Uli Herzner – season 3, first runner-up
Casanova – season 8, 10th place
Ivy Higa – season 8, 8th place
Althea Harper – season 6, first runner-up
Anthony Ryan – season 9, 7th place
Wendy Pepper – season 1, second runner-up

Team bold chose to make a black and blue collection. While they had some good moments, their collection left them a little bruised. They were the losing team. Team Confident took on leather and lace, which was risky because it could come off cheap or unoriginal. They took the win though and provided the top three designers.

Usher could not resist getting a new puppy Thursday night. The "Numb" singer purchased a female Goldendoodle for $12,000 at the Second Annual Pencils Of Promise Gala in Guastavino's in New York.

Usher boasted about his new pet on his Twitter page. "All in the name of [canine] fun! It took me 2 years but I outbid everyone this year to bring Poppy home to Ush," he wrote. The name Poppy is inspired by the event title, Pencils Of Promise (PoP).

According to People, Usher outbid former "Gossip Girl" actress Jessica Szohr. After Usher initially offered to buy the puppy for $10,000, Szohr raised the stakes to $11,000, prompting the R&B pop star to increase his bid to $12,000.

But Usher didn't just make a monetary donation to the organization, he is also volunteering his time. Two gala attendees each won private dance lessons with Usher for $65,000 each.

Usher's hefty charitable donation will help Pencils Of Promise's efforts to build 100 schools. So far, it has built more than 50.

Melissa Archer On Not Being Asked To Join The Cast Of General Hospital!



One of the biggest questions raised all the time by One Life to Live and General Hospital fans is, where is Natalie? After all, John and Natalie, and their son Liam, had just gotten together on OLTL when the series went off the air.

Now with Natalie and John on the outs, and Jason presumed “dead”, that could pave the way for a John/Sam pairing, that could then spark a fiery red head to come to town, if the powers-that-be decide to finally bring fan favorite, Melissa Archer!

Melissa Archer spoke to Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue on newsstands now about life post-Llanview, and how she initially felt not being chosen to head over to General Hospital with her long-time co-star Michael Easton, and if she would still consider coming on to the lone ABC soap.

Archer had this to say on why she has not been approached to join Easton and some of her former cast mates now at General Hospital citing:
“I thought it was neat and made a lot of sense for the specific characters they chose to take over there to drive story. I’m not one to get offended easily over storylines and jobs; it’s about the overall good of the project. Whatever they’re doing now seems to be working and that’s awesome because that’s what the genre needs.

They’re not going to bring me on just to say, “Hey, we brought Natalie on!” It wouldn’t make any sense. They have to take care of other things first. They have to utilize what they have. Michael and Kelly Monaco had amazing chemistry on Port Charles, so why not try to utilize that and go with that? If you had it once, you’re gonna have it again.”

As far as if GH should come calling to bring Natalie finally to the canvas, Archer is cautiously optimistic stating:
“And you never know what the future brings. It could be a year from now and you’ll find out Natalie coming in to shake things up. I love Frank Valentini (EP, General Hospital) and all the actors there, so I am always welcome to talking about things. I have faith in the people running the show that they know what they’re doing. I’m not one to close the door on anything.”



Will and Sonny Have Sex on Days of Our Lives!


Get out your calendars. After months and months of frustrating delays, false starts and countless emotional pitfalls, Days of Our Lives' Will and Sonny will finally make love on the NBC soap's Nov. 14 episode. And — steam alert! — TV Guide Magazine has this exclusive video preview of what's sure to be a very talked-about scene (below).

"The Will and Sonny fans have waited a long time for this but the delay has been a good thing," says Freddie Smith, who plays Sonny. "It's allowed the audience to get to know our characters and to get to a place where they are really rooting for them to get together. I don't expect anyone will think the sex scene is controversial. Hopefully, we're past that. This isn't a story about two gay guys. It's about two human beings who truly love each other."

Chandler Massey, who won an Emmy this year as Will, says it's been "refreshing to have a couple in soaps who haven't been thrown together too quickly. We took our time before getting to the sex and the characters and the show are better for it. But" — he adds with a laugh — "I will also say that it's about time!"

He'd get quite an argument from Will's dad Lucas (Bryan Dattilo)! It will appear that Will and Sonny are headed for sex in the Oct. 29 episode but their intimate encounter is interrupted by Lucas who is freaked by what he sees. Hey, didn't he claim to be okay with his kid being gay?

"I know a lot of dads who are like Lucas," says Massey. "They're not homophobic per se, or against gay marriage, but they're uncomfortable being in close contact with anything gay, especially when it involves their son. It's all okay in theory but they don't want to deal with the reality." Worse yet, Lucas will reveal that he thinks Sonny is a user who's looking at Will as just one more conquest.

"That's kind of hilarious considering Sonny came out [in the summer of 2011] and then went a year without even kissing anybody," notes Smith. "But, in Lucas' mind, Sonny is moving way too fast. He thinks Will needs more time before having sex." Adds Massey: "What's crazy is that Sonny is the responsible one here. He's going to school. He owns a business. If I were a parent I'd have a much bigger problem with my son getting involved with someone like Will. He's the real pain in the ass in this equation!"

The sex scene itself caused no worries. "Chandler and I were much more nervous about our first kissing scene," Smith recalls. "Our hearts were really pounding during that one but it worked out great because our characters' hearts were pounding, too. Since then Will and Sonny have done enough flirting and kissing and cuddling that, as actors, we weren't nervous about finally getting to the sex. The way we shot it is very real and passionate but tasteful. Chandler and I are comfortable with each other and it shows. We have good chemistry. We trust each other."

So where do Will and Sonny go from here? "Consummating the relationship will make them bond in a much more intimate way," says Massey. "And I guess this finally makes them an official couple to the people of Salem and it will be no big deal. Everyone is going to recognize it and accept it. Yes, even Lucas!"





Ron Raines On How GUIDING LIGHT Prepared Him For "Newsies"!


"I think I've brought a bit of the mean Alan [Spaulding] to the role [of Joseph Pulitzer]. To me, they're the same guys -- moguls who can manipulate and are controlling. Like Alan, Pulitzer is not stupid and he doesn't suffer fools gladly. In some ways, I think my 15 years on GUIDING LIGHT was preparing me for playing Joseph Pulitzer."

Did you think you wouldn't get back on the road to theater when you took the gig on Guiding Light?
No. If you saw my dressing room at Guiding Light, you know I could've cleaned it out in an hour. Some of those people -- it was like their apartment in their dressing rooms. And I would say to them, "Look, I'm from the theater, the show always closes and you have to be ready to move on to the next show." But I was surprised and delighted I had that long a run with such a historical show.

You've been in the business for over four decades now. What's the survival trick?
Always keeping up your instrument and always going with the flow. Knowing that a door keeps shutting over there for a reason, but there's a door open over here, so maybe I should go through that door and explore the other side. The thing that concerns me about the kids in these megahits that run forever is that eight years later they've done only one show. I think they need to stretch!

Victoria Rowell Takes To Twitter To Let Fans Know She Will NOT Be Returning To Y&R!


The outspoken Victoria Rowell, who many fans have hoped would finally get a shot at returning to The Young and the Restless as Drucilla Winters, let her followers and fans know on Twitter this morning that it is not happening.

In a series of tweets aimed squarely at Sony, CBS, and Y&R executives, Rowell started with mentioning a moment last Friday when Sony Television Sr. VP. Steve Kent stated that a Drucilla return is not the creative direction the show is going in. Rowell then took to task the issue of minorities working behind-the-scenes at Y&R, something she had wanted to do with the number one sudser for quite some time. Here are Rowell’s tweets below!

Victoria Rowell: “Sony TV Sr, VP STEVE KENT stated Friday that bringing back character DRU WINTERS is NOT the creative direction Young & Restless is going in. Head of Diversity at CBS, Josie Thomas asks if I can find work w/ another Network? CBS helmer, Leslie Moonves does not want me affiliated. ”

“Here’s the scoop ppl – for years I tackled diversity issues behind the camera re: unfair practices for minority hiring on Young & Restless. Nat’l Urban League Pres. Marc Morial, Bill Bell Jr., Sony VP Steve Kent, and me met on Wall Street in NUL offices 2discuss hiring practices. Young & Restless soap in its history had NEVER hired an African American producer, writer or director, and its audience is over 50% black. I was told Steve Kent was trying to gets off Young & Restless while I was still there. And I knew that without anyone telling me. As a result Bell Dramatic Serial & Sony Pictures TV were forced to hire FIRST black female writer, Susan Dansby, a 4time EMMY winner on Y&R, There is nothing easy about speaking up for change – especially the blackball-bullying but rest assured there is more than CBS & soap opera! I gave 22 years to CBS on two shows…so, now you know the truth and it doesn’t take a Charlie Sheen moment to send a smart girl packing.”

“The Y&R dirty soap issue of lack of minority hiring in writing, directing, producing went all the way to #1 sponsor, Proctor & Gamble. Thank National Urban League for pulling back the Y&R sheets and demanding change in the 21st century on a billion dollar CBS licensed show. WHY was Sally McDonald demoted from her producer position on Y&R – a woman, a mother, an enormous talent? They don’t want NORMA RAE there;) New Y&R Exec Prod, Head Writer Jill Farren-Phelps hawking costumer, Jen Johns…no style? DRU brought her own clothes to set. U know it. A reason, a season, a lifetime. Young & Restless finally has begun hiring minority directors as well. CBS helmer, Leslie Moonves, and I have a standing lunch meeting, now two years old. I worked for the network collectively for 22 years. I just ask that you FOLLOW me to my next gig!”



DAYS James Scott In Sexy Music Video “Unforgotten” From Roxanna!!


Add music video to James Scott’s (EJ DiMera) resume as the Days of our Lives heartthrob was apparently hand picked by recording artist, Roxanna for the official video to her new song, “Unforgotten”!

In it, Scott plays the steamy lover of Roxanna as the video plays out between the past and present, or is it fantasy and reality? Roxanna acknowledged her desire to work with James Scott on her official website noting (regarding DAYS and Mr. Scott): “That show is my comfort food. It calms me down. And, come on, James is the hottest guy alive. I’m sure he thought I was a fan stalking him. We spent 18 hours in the desert for the video. It’s sultry and hot.”

Now apparently, Roxanna tried to lure the often reclusive soap star by first visiting NBC studio to request him in the video, and then followed by emails and telephone calls! With three days to go before the shoot, at last, Scott responded with a thumbs-up!

BO AND CAROLINE LEAVE SALEM!


Bo breaks the news to Victor that he's leaving town so he can be with his mother as she seeks treatment for her early stage dementia.

Later, the Brady family gathers to say goodbye to Bo and Caroline. At the gathering, Hope pulls Bo to the side and gives him two discs: One disc contains home movies and the other disc has information on Stefano.

On their way out the door, Bo and Caroline share a tearful embrace with loved ones. "It's very hard to see them leave," says Mary Beth Evans. "Kayla and Roman are glad that Bo will be with Caroline, but it's a very scary time for the family."

Later, Abe stops by to check on Kayla, who feels very alone after saying goodbye to her brother and her mother. "It's so sweet," smiles Evans. "Abe and Kayla have known each other for so long. They've both had losses. They both have kids. They're good friends and now they can be support for each other."

5 reasons why a return of A.J. Quartermaine would be good for ‘General Hospital’!


5. To help fill the void that will be left from the departure of Steve Burton. The announcement of Kanan’s return coincided with the departure of Steve Burton who plays A.J.’s brother Jason Morgan leading some to speculate that Kanan may actually be a recast for the character of Jason Morgan. Although no one can fill the shoes of the Emmy Award winning Burton, Kanan would provide a distraction for viewers as A.J. and would bring much angst and will keep some Quartermaine blood in Port Charles.

4. Carly Jacks (Laura Wright). It was actually Kanan’s version of A.J. who Carly had a one night stand with years ago leading to the birth of their child Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). Over the years the Carly and A.J. battled over their child which eventually led to A.J. being forced to turn over his rights to mobster Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard). It would be interesting to see what kind of chemistry Laura Wright’s version Carly would have with Kanan’s version of A.J. and it may bring back some of the fire that has seemed to be missing from the character of Carly lately.

3. Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). Two of Jason Morgan’s leading ladies will be left vulnerable. An injection of A.J. in both their lives would be quite interesting and would give Elizabeth a potential major storyline. Both ladies would have issues with A.J. because they both have deep feelings and have both had a child by Jason. Any possibilities of potential romance will add a great dynamic to the show.

2. Sonny Corinthos and Michael Corinthos. There is much unresolved between A.J. and mob boss Sonny Corinthos and much of it has to do with A.J’s biological son Michael who was adopted by Sonny after he forced A.J. to sign away his rights. Michael barely knows A.J. and finding out the real reason on how Carly and Sonny got A.J. to sign over his parental rights will add angst between Michael and Sonny. As an adult, Michael will get the chance to decide whether or not he wants A.J in his life.

1. The Quatermaines. Viewers have watched Port Charles most powerful and dysfunctional family dwindle over the years as a result of death and members of the family leaving town. With the real life death of John Ingle who played patriarch Edward Quartermaine, it is rumored that the character will die on screen also. A return of A.J would be the writers chance to finally revive the Quartermaines and give them a purpose beyond just Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) who is the lone character who gets any decent air time.

Whether Kanan returns to GH as A.J. Quartermaine or a new character, there promises to be much excitement and a few surprises the next couple of weeks.

The World Still Turns!


Like many of you, writer Lynn Liccardo was a big fan of AS THE WORLD TURNS. And she's put down some of her memories and thoughts regarding the long-running soap in a brand new e-book entitled as the world stopped turning...

From the author's description: "Notwithstanding the title and cover photograph, as the world stopped turning... is not a post-apocalyptic novel, but a collection of 18 essays considering the final years of AS THE WORLD TURNS, the soap opera that redefined the genre when it premiered in 1956. Written by a lifelong fan of the show, these essays weave together the show's history, characters, storylines, writers and producers, to create a context within which to consider, not just ATWT, but all soap operas, past and present."

BRYAN DATTILLO ON DAYS 'GAY' STORY!


Lucas purposely interrupts an intimate moment between Sonny and Will this week when he beats down Sonny's door with the excuse that he wants Will to say goodbye to his grandma Caroline. Does this mean Lucas can't handle his son being intimate with another guy?

"It's not that simple," says Dattilo. "Lucas doesn't want to see Will get hurt. He just wants to make sure Sonny doesn't take advantage of Will when he's in a vulnerable state."

Dattilo admits that Lucas was taken aback when he saw Will being affectionate with Sonny a few weeks ago and he's trying to get used to being okay with it. "There's a shift in attitude that he has to make," says Dattilo.

Dattilo goes on to talk about Lucas and Sami's relationship, saying Lucas was hurt when Sami picked EJ over him last summer but he would drop everything in a heartbeat to be with her. Shares the actor, "He loves her."



DAYS NOVEMBER SWEEPS PREVIEW!


"Gary Tomlin and Christopher Whitesell are doing the unexpected with the characters that I think will prove quite interesting to the viewers," says Executive Producer Ken Corday. "They're really ramping up to Thanksgiving into the new year. They're writing a much more concise show. We're looking at shows airing in mid-March and we know where it's going to be in six months and it looks really good."

John/Marlena/Kristen: Kristen's return poses a threat to John and Marlena's relationship. John believes Kristen has changed and Marlena doesn't. As a result, Marlena resorts to some underhanded, "un-Marlena-like" tactics. Says Corday, "[Marlena] doesn't tell John she's doing it and sooner or later, that's the kind of thing that comes back to bite you. But she's doing it for the sake of her relationship with John and the audience will be rooting for her."

Sami/EJ: Sami and EJ grow closer as they start working together. Says Corday, "We're putting our lock, stock and barrel in those two."

Eric's Return: Eric returns to Salem just in time for Thanksgiving. Corday says they brought him back because they wanted another character in his age range on the show and they wanted to give Nicole a front-burner story. (For those unaware, Eric is one of Nicole's many exes.)

Gabi/Nick/Will/Sonny: Gabi receives big news that not only affects her relationship with Nick, but also affects Sonny, Will, Rafe and Sami. Says Corday, "We'll be seeing a lot of the under-25 crowd, which in the past has always proved successful."

Kate/Stefano: Kate receives divorce papers from Stefano. She has a big story on the horizon.



B&B's Stephanie Gets Musical Sendoff!


To honor the exit of Susan Flannery (Stephanie) from THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, the soap is throwing her alter ego the party to end all parties. And to make it even more memorable, all-female band Celtic Woman will be appearing on episodes airing Monday, November 12 and Tuesday, November 13.

"I can't think of a more beautiful way to pay tribute to the character of Stephanie Forrester and her Irish heritage than to bring in Celtic Woman to serenade her," said executive producer and headwriter Bradley Bell in a statement. "Their distinctive voice and angelic melodies were the perfect accompaniment to this powerful and emotional storyline."

Celtic Woman will be performing the classic Irish standard "Danny Boy" as well as their new hit single, "The Parting Glass," which will be dedicated to Stephanie by Eric. So get your handkerchiefs ready, people (if they weren't already)!

Haven't watched tonight's episode yet (have it DVR'ed)...do I have some Sean/Alex goodness to look forward to?

Brandon Flowers Interview:

Hello Brandon. What did you have for breakfast today?
I have the same thing every day. I find it comforting. I have a banana, but I can never eat the whole banana. And I’ll drink a couple of Actimels. And some kind of cereal with almond milk. And then after that I have a Coke.

I read that there is some debate among Mormons about whether you’re allowed to drink Coke.
Yeah. There’s no doctrine about not drinking Coca-Cola. Coffee is still frowned upon. It’s the caffeine. I think people become reliant on coffee. And that can’t necessarily be a good thing.



You have 18 nephews and nieces. Can you name all of them?
Yeah (1). I think I could tell you all their middle names too.

Have you had any contact with the other Brandon Flowers?
The dude on the Kansas City Chiefs (2)? No.

Apparently he earns $10m a year.
Damn! I’m the wrong Brandon Flowers.

The new Killers album, Battle Born, is named after the Nevada state slogan. Are you aware of the Nevada state fish?
Is it some kind of trout?

The Lahontan cutthroat trout, to be exact.
Oh, I did know that. Our state animal is the bighorn sheep. Our bird is the bluebird.

You know your Nevada.
I’m proud of it. It’s my roots. Sage is our state plant. The bristlecone pine is the state tree.

And the Killers have performed the state song …
Yes, Home Means Nevada. I used to sing it in elementary school. It’s probably one of my earliest memories of music.

Have you ever recorded it?
Not really. Harry Reid is the Senate majority leader and he went to the same high school that my parents did, and when he gives speeches in Nevada, he comes out to our recording of Home Means Nevada that we did for him.

And he is a Democrat?
Democrat Mormon.

Whereas Mitt Romney …
Republican Mormon.

What’s the political split between Mormons?
We’re leaning on the Republican side. (Laughs). Probably, like, 90%.

So you had lunch with Romney in Las Vegas?
Yeah. It was fine. We went to Caesar’s Palace. I think I had a burger.

Who picked up the tab?
I think Mitt might’ve got that one. He was in Vegas and I was home and we were just kind of shooting the breeze.

And has he asked for your support?
Um, yeah (3). We also get asked from Obama. People focus on Romney, but we don’t campaign for Obama either.

But you have done for Harry Reid.
Yeah, we have a different connection to Harry. Harry knows my aunt Barbara.

It’s quite an odd thing to be in a tussle between politicians.
But you know, I keep saying it, I feel like a broken record but we’re neutral. We’ve never really embraced one side or the other, or used our success to really preach like that.

How many times have interviewers asked whether you’re human or dancer?
Probably about 50. I give different answers. But I don’t know that I’ve ever said dancer. I’m not a great dancer.

Mormons are not supposed to drink alcohol. So have you never been drunk?
I have been drunk. I haven’t drank in five or six years. And I will probably never be drunk again.

You live in Vegas. It seems quite brash: all sex and gambling. A bit like Blackpool.
I’ve been to Blackpool. It’s not like Blackpool.

You were a Vegas hotel bellman. What does that job involve?
Say you want to kill a couple of hours before your plane and you want to go and gamble or get a hooker, you leave your bags with me. You’d come back when you’re finished and you would give me your tag and I would give you your bag. And you would tip me.

For Brits visiting America, the tipping thing can be very troubling. Like, when should you give them a dollar and when shouldn’t you?
Don’t ever give anyone a dollar.

Too low?
Yeah. Maybe if it was like 1965.

You recently had a debate on Swedish TV with prominent atheist Richard Dawkins (4).
Yeah, let me say this. I gave some decent answers that were edited out. So, the world is against the Christian man.

Did you know Dawkins was going on?
I found out the day before and I know who he is, and I knew about The God Delusion and all of those things. For him he sees the beauty in science proving something and finding out origins of things. And that’s enough for him. Nothing that science will ever find will disprove that God had a hand in it, for me. So it’s a useless debate. And nothing that has been found has changed the gospel that I believe in.

Did you speak to him on the phone afterwards, as was mooted?
No, I would like to. I have issues with him. He generalises things about my church and kind of drags it through the dirt a lot.

Are you working on this year’s Killers Christmas single yet?
Well, let me just go back to it. It’s just there’s so much to be said by his behaviour and the way that he is in interviews, for the most part. I’ve seen other interviews with him.

Words like “conman” and “fake” did seem designed to provoke a reaction.
Yeah, and this is information that he’s getting off the internet! [Laughs] He’s this smart guy and getting his information from the wrong places. That was really what frustrated me.

Why would you want to speak to him again?
I’d like him to just stop dragging [my church] through the mud.

Which is unlikely to happen.
Oh it’s fine. He’s an unhappy old lemon tree. I’m a peach.

Is it just me but these days all he ever seems to wear is that leather jacket...
Also Richard Dawkins/Brandon Flowers is such an odd pairing in the first place. It sucks they cut out his answers, it would've been more fair to hear both sides properly. But I don't get why it's so hard to just respect someone else's beliefs if they're not shoving it down your throat?

Presidential candidate Roseanne Barr (LOL) isn’t known for holding her piece. But the actress-activist has upset members of the transgender community with some comments she posted on Twitter.

When one of her Twitter followers mentioned that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein “is also in favour of letting men into spaces where little girls get changed.”—a reference to Stein’s support for trans rights—Barr tweeted back, “if she has a penis she is not allowed in.”

When a Twitter user accused Barr of transphobia, she tweeted back, “Women do not want
your penises forced in their faces or in our private bathrooms. Respect that FACT.”

Angry tweets came fast and furious, with many trans folks and their allies expressing dismay that someone like Barr was taking such a stance.

One replied: “@TheRealRoseanne, I’m extremely disgusted in your transphobic behaviour. I HAD a lot of respect for you. You are no ally.”

More recently, Barr tweeted: “I remember when the LGBT community stopped supporting NAMBLA” and claimed “I was instrumental in forcing lgbts to dis include man boy love as part of their program.”

E posted a couple of clips from Sunday's Married to Jonas season series? finale. In the episode, the entire Jonas and Delesa families are in town for the band's Radio City Music Hall concert.

In this clip, Kevin and Dani discuss the big family dinner and yes...should they use plain old paper napkins and incur the wrath of Mama Jonas, or should they break out the fancy cloth napkins?


http://youtu.be/eE-te0kWd9o



In this clip, Kevin gets some humorous fashion advice from his brothers:

http://youtu.be/6ujBy6yHcw4

According to E a decision on a second season is still up in the air, so I don't know if this should be a season or series finale.

The Jonas Brothers will be on Ryan Seacrest's radio show Monday morning with a big announcement-probably going to be a second US concert before the year is over, their new single, or tour dates.

Featuring Ne Yo, Herbie Hancock, Johnny Rzeznik, Delta Rae, Natasha Bedingfield.

The forward song project is a 100% grassroots effort and represents the best of what American democracy is all about: people voluntarily coming together and lending their time, talents, services and support behind a cause they truly feel passionate about.

It is not a PAC or SuperPAC, and it was not funded in any way by, nor was it produced at the request of or in coordination or consultation with, the Obama for America Presidential Campaign or any PAC or SuperPAC. We just went out and did this all by ourselves, and all on our own.

Ne-Yo, Herbie Hancock, & John Rzeznik Team Up for "Forward," a New Anthem for Obama's 2012 Campaign

The debates are over. President Obama and Willard Mitt Romney will never be forced to publicly speak to each other ever again. But, like the 500-yard dash or senior prom, it's not about how things start, but how they finish: The next two weeks are of crucial importance to how our country will move in in the next four years, and beyond.

You might be wondering why we're writing about this; we're a music site, after all, and we generally take advantage of the fact that we're not required by our direct supervisors to hold anything resembling an "opinion" on politics.

Well, today jazz icon Herbie Hancock, R&B icon Ne-Yo, Goo Goo Dolls icon Johnny Rzeznik, and a bunch of other left-leaning luminaries from the world of music have teamed up on "Forward," the latest anthem bolstering Obama's 2012 campaign now that things are getting down to the wire.

The piece was produced by Fred Goldring, the driving force behind will.i.am's "Yes We Can" video from 2008, and the song was written by Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois, of New Radicals fame.

Not the best song, but Rzeznik forever tbh ♥ /stan. And of course the message!

He talks about Teen Wolf, the First Time and being "friendzoned"

You wouldn't have unkempt pubic hair.
So why wear fur?

From PETA's website:

Real Housewives of Miami cast member and model Joanna Krupa is putting it all out there for animals and letting everyone know how ridiculous it is to wear fur or fur trim. Joanna is used to turning some heads but not quite like this. In her sexy ad with PETA, she leaves little to be desired by sporting an unexpected accessory that doesn't really fit in with her fashion-forward style.

Joanna thinks that wearing fur looks just as foolish as her little extra "something something" in this ad. Whether it came from an animal on a fur farm or one who was trapped in the wild, the fur used for every fur coat, trinket, or bit of trim caused an animal tremendous suffering—and took away a life. Animals suffer and die for the sake of a fashion statement that should have been left in the Dark Ages. Compassion is the most glamorous fashion statement that we can make for animals, and the best way to start is by boycotting fur and fur trim.

Joanna had some fun using her voice for animals during her photo shoot with PETA—check out some of her dance moves and, more importantly, what she thinks people look like when they wear fur.

This video was shot back in December 2011 and is just now seeing the light of day because it's being released as the UK single from the re-release of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.  The Boys (Feat. Cassie) will serve as the US single.

The Boys song and music video are far superior than this imo.

The G4 television channel announced on Friday that it will cancel two of its video game-related programming, X-Play and Attack of the Show, by the end of the year. G4 noted that the two shows were the longest-running shows on the channel.

The X-Play video game news and review show debuted on TechTV in April 2003 and has aired around 1,300 episodes. The Attack of the Show video game, technology, and pop culture news show debuted in March 2005, and has aired approximately 1,700 episodes. Both shows also aired coverage for the San Diego Comic Con and E3 conventions.

During their last episodes, both shows will take a look back on their more memorable moments and will feature special guests. Both shows will have original content through the end of 2012.

The entertainment trade magazine Variety had reported on September 6 that NBC Universal was planning to rebrand the channel and that G4 may have a name change. Variety had noted at the time that the network would be considering "a more sophisticated look while remaining true to its tech and vid game roots."

X-Play ceased to exist to me when they 'rebooted' it in 2008. G4 as a whole has been nothing but sexist garbage. It's about time they gave it an overhaul.
