Some very hot Chippendales were asked to pose for a recreation of the MAGIC MIKE movie poster. Click on the pic to enlarge.
I’m thinking these guys look pretty hot. And there are mini-interviews with each of the guys. Just like in the movie, some are veterans, some are newbies.
Check it out in the latest IN TOUCH Magazine. I like!
Katie Holmes is apparently done with the “Cruise” of a lifetime. The 33-year old actress filed for divorce yesterday after seven years of marriage to Tom Cruise, the Mission: Impossible and Rock of Ages star.
Well, I’m shocked I tell you – shocked.
Quel surprise…
The new president of France will legalize same-sex marriage in “the next few months,” according to a statement from his office reported by Reuters.
President Francois Hollande and his Socialist party campaigned on marriage equality, and with a solid majority in Parliament it is largely up to them on the timing of changes.
The administration also plans to ensure adoption by same-sex couples is legal in France, and it will hold a series of discussions on what can be done to help transgender people specifically. Those moves will happen before the end of the year, administration officials have said, according to the Reuters report.
April 3, 2006 press conference on passing of health care bill by legislature’s conference committee.
Mitt Romney calls his version of healthcare reform, which the Affordable Healthcare Reform Act was based on in part, NOT a tax but an “assessment.”
Somehow, between then and now, while he approved of such things then, he now finds the same ideas repugnant.
To repeat: the ideas he signed into law THEN, he now finds repugnant.
That was clear enough, yes?
One of my favorite Chippendales, James Davis, appeared on the Dr. Drew Show on HLN last night.
With the opening of the MAGIC MIKE movie, a lot of attention is being focused on the male revue, and James had some clear answers about what some of the popular misconceptions are about shows like the Chippendales.
Up today in rehearsals for SWEET CHARITY at the Lyric Theater in Oklahoma City – “Rich Man’s Frug.”

(There was both cynicism and joy in that last sentence….)
Wish me luck.

The just-published 2012 Party Platform for the Republican Party of Texas, which weighs in on everything from deep-water drilling to NASA to immigration and Israel is truly a sight to read.
Among the more key points is a lot of talk about marriage and family values (including a definition of marriage that certainly doesn’t include same-sex couples) and the affirmation “that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society and contributes to the breakdown of the family unit.”
Homosexuality ― We affirm that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society and contributes to the breakdown of the family unit. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle, in public policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include homosexual “couples.” We believe there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin. Additionally, we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction or belief in traditional values.
Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) ― We oppose this act through which the federal government would coerce religious business owners and employees to violate their own beliefs and principles by affirming what they consider to be sinful and sexually immoral behavior.
