Senator John McCain has chosen Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, to be his Vice Presidential candidate. Call me crazy but I smell cheap pandering. Hillary supporters, don’t fall for this mess!

Lindsay Lohan loses her paternal grandfather and lashes out at her daddy, Michael Lohan, on her blog. Michael has publicly criticized Lindsay’s relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson, calling it “toxic”, and claiming Ronson is using her to write a tell-all book. Right, if there’s anyone exploiting Lindsay it’s you and her pathetic excuse for a mother.

So…David Duchovny’s a sex addict. And he’s entered rehab. Sounds like he’s one of those method actors and got too into his character on Showtime’s Californication. David used to be so sexy during his X-Files days.  What in the world happened?

Aaron Sorkin plans on creating a film based on Facebook. Just when I was losing faith in humanity, something comes along and lifts me right up. This will be one for the history books. Whatev, I’ll still be updating my status and changing my profile pic daily.

Michael Jackson turns 50. And he says he “feels young”. Are you sure that’s his age and not just the number of new noses he’s gotten glued to the middle of his face?  Age doesn’t matter when you use plastic surgery like it’s Advil.

My idol Alan Ball is getting slammed for the title of his directorial feature debut, Towelhead.  Ball uses him being at the receiving end of anti-gay language to defend the title of the film.  Regardless of the controversy surrounding it, I will be seeing it ASAP.

There’s a John Lennon biopic in the works called Nowhere Boy, directed by Sam Taylor-Wood.  The script “details the story of Lennon as a lonely teenager growing up as his aunt and the mother who gave him up fight for his love. His only escape is music, art and his fateful friendship with Paul McCartney.”

Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia talked to the Advocate in an interview about his big gay following, and in it he described an interaction with Perez Hilton in which he made quite an unusual request.

“I met Perez Hilton when I was at a Super Bowl party in Miami with a bunch of my agents. He walked past me, and I stopped him and said, ‘Excuse me. Hey, my name is Milo.’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah. Hi.’ I said, ‘Hey, man, I’ve checked out your site a handful of times, and you do some pretty cool stuff on there. You gotta do me a favor: Next time you post a picture of me, just put tons of come on my face. Tons. I mean, load it up.’”

Of course, everyone’s favorite fat, greasy homo was more than happy to oblige.

Cute. For those interested, Christina’s doing a signing for those who buy her new fragrance at Macy’s Herald Square on September 2. You have to be one of the first 200 to buy it when it’s released on August 31.

Academy Award winning diva Jennifer Hudson will sing the Star Spangled Banner on Thursday night when Obama accepts his nomination at the Democratic National Convention.  You betta work, J-Hud!

Diddy’s entourage was pulled over by an L.A. Deputy for expired tags, and ended up having the officer pull a gun on them.  Clearly the officer was having a bad case of bitch-ass-ness.

Reportedly, Cher has been tapped to play Catwoman in the next installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise.  I suppose it’s better than Halle Berry but no one will outdo Michelle Pfeiffer.

The critics are not being kind to Don Cheadle’s new action thriller Traitor.  The film is supposed to be centered around the huge plot twist that Cheadle’s character is in fact a double agent.  Unfortunately, the title lets that cat out of the bag before we even buy a ticket.

Four men have been arrested in an alleged Obama assassination plot.  They reportedly planned to shoot him during his acceptance speech Thursday night.  God bless America.

Does it bother you when you’re watching Sex & The City on TBS and it seems more like you’re watching Zoey 101?  Or how about Queer As Folk on Logo, edited like it belongs on ABC Family?  Entertainment Weekly takes on bad TV editing.

Wanna see Johnny Depp sing live in concert?  Here’s your chance.  Of course, if you’re anything like me, you’ll need to pack a roll of paper towels and a fresh pair of undies to change into.

Remember a while back when Teri Hatcher revealed in Vanity Fair that she’d been molested by her uncle?  Well apparently the man, whom she helped get convicted and sent to prison, has died.  Normally I’d say rest in peace, but….

Songwriter Kara DioGuardi (Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, etc.) has been added as a fourth judge on American Idol. Hm, does this mean they’re inching closer to finally replacing Paula?

Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder stomped on the competition again in its second weekend, beating out the respectable opening weekend of the Anna Faris/Katharine McPhee comedy House Bunny.

Yes, I was dragged by my seven year old cousin to see Wall-E. No, I’m not proud of it. Kate Bornstein lays out the case for Wall-E actually possibly being a gay love story.

Oops…she did it again. No, not Britney. Madonna. In yet another ploy for attention Madonna rips John McCain in an onstage montage, comparing him to Hitler.

Tune into The Black List, a collection of interviews with African-American luminaries tonight at 9 PM on HBO. The program will include Secretary of State Collin Powell, actor Laurence Fishburne, author Toni Morrison, among others. Unfortunately I’m too broke to afford HBO, so I’ll wait ’til it’s on DVD.

Due to the success of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, the next Superman film is said to be getting rebooted so that it can emulate the dark tone of the critically acclaimed Christopher Nolan films. I’m sorry, but after how horrible Superman Returns was I honestly can’t see myself shelling out another $11.15 to sit through Hot Mess #2. Get back to X-Men, Bryan Singer.

Tufts University claims they have evidence that Gaydar is in fact real. Of course it’s real. How else would Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez be able to find each other in a dark room?

My favorite lesbian, unapologetic liberal Rachel Maddow, is finally getting her own MSNBC primetime show. She’ll be replacing Dan Abrams‘ The Verdict. Damn, he was so cute though.

Jennifer Garner is shocked by the death of A-List make-up artist Paul Starr, who died in his Los Angeles home on Monday night. She says, “It’s a horrible shock to me. He was such a warm, kind, wonderful man.”

Brian McFadden of the 90s boyband Westlife, has offended many in the gay community with his remarks about straight men not wearing pink. I love it when has-beens come out of nowhere to say something stupid.

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman is impressed by her new personal trainer who actually tells her to eat more! Her previous personal trainer wanted to keep her below 125 lbs. Sheesh!

I have bad news ladies and gentleman. Senator John McSame (as Bush) has cut Barack Obama’s lead in the presidential race in half, according to the most recent New York Times poll.

Yet another boy band member to come out of the closet? New Kids on The Block singer Jonathan Knight is reportedly a closeted homo.  A source reveals, “Knight has a [non-famous] boyfriend and they’re very happy.”

Ultimate fag hag Margaret Cho returns to the small screen tonight on Vh1 with her own reality show a la Kathy Griffin’s My Life on the D-List.  The last time we saw Cho on TV was in the 90s with her failed sitcom All American Girl.

What good sports.  Even though none of the Desperate Housewives were nominated this year, (including the fabulous Dana Delany who if I must say myself, was robbed!) all six ladies of Wisteria Lane will present together at this year’s Emmy Awards ceremony.  Y’all better look fierce.

So…can anyone explain to me why exactly L’oreal lightened Beyonce’s skin on their most recent ad in Elle magazine?  Anybody?

This isn’t the first time Beyonce’s skin has been lightened for a magazine.  She appeared on Vanity Fair back in 2005 and many people were upset that it appeared her skin had been lightened then.  Vanity Fair responded by saying they were just trying to make her skin color fit with the new color scheme of the magazine.

…Right.  And I bet if your color scheme was darker, you never would have dared to darken a white person’s skin to make it fit with the color scheme of the magazine.

Beyonce has yet to comment on this skin-lightening mess, and I doubt she ever will.  We all know at the age of 26, she still depends on Mommy and Daddy to do all of her dirty work.

Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, and Alicia Keys star in what looks to be a great film. Little Dakota is growing up! lol @ Jennifer Hudson’s tiny little part no one will remember at the end of the movie. I’m starting to lose faith in her acting skills post-Dreamgirls

The man with the ass, tennis player Rafael Nadal is on the cover of the newest issue of New York magazine. The respectable mag asks the following pressing questions about Nadal’s famous glutes:

“His has been called a ‘pirate’ look, but the interesting thing about Nadal’s style is that it’s so feminine—a thinner, less physical player could not pull off those clothes. Maybe that’s why he’s been greeted with the kind of moral outrage—’Abominable!’ ‘Infernal!’—usually reserved for the latest female player to show too much skin. Debate over the pants in particular, and Nadal’s habit of reaching back to loosen them between points, has trespassed on the familiar terrain of comfort versus sex appeal. Are they too tight? Is it one of his many elaborate on-court rituals (Nadal’s own explanation)? Or are his butt muscles just too big?”

Gotta love it.

Barack Obama takes a break from campaigning and gets caught shirtless on the beach getting his surf on. Yikes, tan lines!

The family of slain teenager Lawrence King are placing blame on King’s school for allowing him to wear make-up and girls clothing to school–factors that allegedly lead to his murder. Huh? You’re his parents.

The perpetual hot mess that is Britney Spears, nominated for three awards, may perform at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Is this finally gonna be her comeback?

Shia LaBeouf has headed back to work after crushing his hand in an auto-accident last month that was apparently not his fault. He’s filming scenes for the upcoming sequel to Transformers.

Here’s a quite awkward interview American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee did with Newsweek to promote her upcoming film House Bunny. Clearly someone didn’t do their research before the interview.

Sony Pictures is doing a remake of the campy but creepy 90s film Candyman starring Tony Todd and Virgina Madsen. Looking back I laugh, but at the time that movie made me piss my little pants.
