Throwback Thursday: Gavin Creel And Aaron Tveit “His Eyes”

Gavin Creel and Aaron Tveit sing "His Eyes" from Jekyll & Hyde

Broadway greats Gavin Creel and Aaron Tveit make me smile so hard at this.

The dynamic duo sing “His Eyes” from the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde in this video throwback I believe is from COVID days.

Gavin (a Tony winner for his performance in Hello, Dolly!) passed away from a rare, aggressive form of cancer at the age of 48 on September 30, 2024, just two months after his diagnosis.

It was recently announced that Aaron is returning to his Tony-winning role in Moulin Rouge for a final, limited 15-performance engagement.

Some news stories I thought worth your time:

• Washington Post: Donald Trump attended the funeral of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) praising him as “one of the great figures in Senate history” during a funeral Tuesday at Washington National Cathedral that drew heads of state and much of official Washington.

Trump also, predictably, veered off-script when the prepared eulogy said “everyone liked Lindsey.” “Well, not everybody…” Trump added. Continue reading “Trump At Lindsey Graham Funeral + National Blood Crisis + More”

Lawsuit: Kim Davis Illegally Transferred Assets To Avoid Paying Gay Couple $560K Judgement

A new lawsuit has been filed against former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis accusing her of illegally transferring property to family members in order to avoid paying a civil rights judgement to David Moore and David Ermold, a same-sex couple she denied a marriage license to in 2015.

Davis first drew national attention in 2015 when she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious beliefs despite the Supreme Court’s ruling. She was briefly jailed for contempt of court after defying a federal judge’s order and later lost multiple rounds of litigation stemming from those denials.

A federal jury awarded the couple $100,000 in damages, plus about $260,000 in attorney fees and court expenses, totaling roughly $360,000 initially.

The lawsuit states Davis has yet to pay any of the amount ordered. With accumulating costs and interest, the total judgment and demand amount to approximately $565,285. Continue reading “Lawsuit: Kim Davis Illegally Transferred Assets To Avoid Paying Gay Couple $560K Judgement”

The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to let federal officials move ahead with the president’s overhaul of mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections.

A Massachusetts appeals court upheld a federal judge’s block on the order last week, finding that it would “sow confusion” and “threaten disenfranchisement of many eligible voters.” Continue reading “Trump Asks Supreme Court To Allow New Limits On Mail-In Voting”

Report: Pete Buttigieg Accuser Deemed ‘Mentally Unstable’

Pete Buttigieg (screen cap)

The false allegation that led Pete Buttigieg to be separated from his kids last month came from someone police later deemed possibly “mentally unstable,” according to official records.

Due to an unsubstantiated anonymous tip, Michigan authorities told Buttigieg in late June he could not be alone with his 4-year-old children until they could be interviewed away from their parents the next day. The children stayed with their grandparents who lived nearby.

It was a week after the initial tip to authorities that a Michigan child welfare worker told a Michigan State Police official that Indiana police informed her that the person who reported the allegation was a “mentally unstable woman in Indiana.” Continue reading “Report: Pete Buttigieg Accuser Deemed ‘Mentally Unstable’”
