he’s the model, I predict strong sales. While Defense Secretary Gates says that he wants the lame duck Congress to move on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal, the newly appointed Commandant of the Marine Corps (nice appointment, President Obama) says leave it in place. What actually happens probably depends on the other service chiefs.
Adam Carolla says he’s all for legalizing pot, but if anything ever happened to him, he’d prefer a straight couple raised his kids rather than a gay couple. I guess he learned nothing from years with Dr. Drew.
Hugh Jackman has turned down hosting the Oscars this year, saying he’s too busy prepping for the new 
Wolverine movie that starts shooting around that time.
Wolverine movie that starts shooting around that time. The Great Falls Tribune takes a look at openly gay students in the Montana town, and compared to graduates just nine years ago, it has gotten better. Much, much better in fact.
Megamind opened to $47.7 million, on the low side of estimates. But so did How to Train Your Dragon, sending the stock into a spiral. Dragon went on to gross $500+ million and spawn a sequel and a series. The awful Due Date pulled in $33 million.
A baby fell out of a seven story window in Paris, bounced off an awning, and was caught by a passerby, unharmed. I’m sure E*Trade will turn that into a Super Bowl commercial.
Keith Olbermann is back on the air Tuesday night. His suspension is through Monday.

The attorney denies the conversation happened. Westboro Baptist Church intends to protest outside Midland High School. Clint McCance isn’t enough of a bigot for them. “McCance should have taught the children in this high school that God's standards are to be followed and boldly, courageously proclaimed. Instead, he let that blow-hard fag-enabling bastard, Anderson Cooper, shame him into shutting up and resigning his position -- thereby teaching this generation to be ashamed of Jesus Christ and His word!” 
Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink is going to direct the new Toxic Avenger movie, so I’m guessing we can expect a lot of unfunny gay jokes.
E! has a story on Dancing With the Stars Israel and their first same sex couple, journalist Gili Shem Tov and pro Dorit Milman. Tov says “I have realized that dance is about coordination and energy between two people, whether female or male. The challenge to dance with a woman in a public contest interested me because it's unique and has never been done before.” The picture isn’t captioned, so I’m not sure which is which, but the one in the black dress reminds me or Britney Spears.
