Former Miss California will marry Rams quarterback Kyle Boller.
Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean is engaged to St. Louis Rams quarterback Kyle Boller, EOnline.com reports. They've been dating since last summer and decided on Saturday to make it legal, a right they enjoy and which Carrie would happily, if not particularly eloquently, deny to her fellow Americans who do her hair and makeup.
Carrie mentioned Kyle in the dedication to her book, Still Standing, which was published in November, saying, "To my Kyle: I am so blessed to have you in my life. You have shown me what love is. Thank you for supporting me through all … Read More
Theron and Townsend splitting after nine years together.
Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend reportedly broke up last month after nine years together. They are at least the third pair of long-term coupled celebs to split in recent months, and we’re wondering why, why must you make us sad, Susan and Tim, Charlize and Stuart … Brad and Angelina?
Charlize and Stuart have been together since meeting in 2001 while shooting the film Trapped. Charlize said numerous times over the years that she and Stuart would not marry until it was legal for gays and lesbians in the United States, but that they considered themselves married. "I'm … Read More
Toxic Tila's worst moments.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Tila Tequila is gross. But until now we haven't had the technology to quantify her grossness; sure, you can talk all you want about viral loads, lip gloss applied with a trowel, and narcissistic Twitter updates taken far beyond their logical conclusions, but today we're attempting to define just what makes Tila so unrepentantly awful. Let's take a stroll down Icky Memory Lane, yes?
A Shot at Love
There's nothing wrong with a bisexual dating show, per se. We're all for people finding love, but when it comes in the form of one … Read More
Tracking porn use by population produces some surprising results.
A pair of recent studies tracking the porn-consuming habits of populations around the world generated some numbers that, depending upon your point of view, are either shocking or yawningly obvious.
Around the globe, the top three consumers of pornography are China (28 percent of the market), South Korea (27 percent) and Japan (21 percent). The US comes in fourth with a measly 14 percent of porn purchases, a comparison that some may find odd, considering that the top consumers on this list are typically thought to be far more sexually conservative than America. For example, South Korea's Military Penal Code … Read More
Gay marriage recognition around the world seems to take two steps forward, one step back.
In case you haven't been keeping up with gay marriage news on an international front: it's two steps forward, one step back. For every city and country that legalizes same-sex marriage, another knocks gay rights back decades, if not centuries (hello, prison sentences). Gay Marriage Would Increase CA Spending
In the United States, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Washington DC, New Hampshire and Iowa now recognize same-sex marriages. Recently the Mayor of majorly Catholic Mexico City legalized gay marriage there. Internationally, The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Spain, Norway, Sweden and South Africa recognize same-sex marriage. Just as some countries are newly embracing homosexual … Read More
Gay marriage. Open marriage. Prenups. Infidelity. Why the fuss? A new documentary clears the air.
In New Jersey, the state Senate just canceled the vote for a bill that would allow for same-sex marriage. If such a bill had passed, New Jersey would have become the sixth state to allow such a union, a right that many gay couples (and their supporters) have been desperately pursuing for years. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods—a successful pro golfer married to the beautiful Elin Nordegren—was recently discovered to have an entire bevy of mistresses. One might surmise that, in his case, marriage wasn't enough.
And he's (obviously) not the only one who's found him or herself unsatisfied … Read More
In response to Prop 8, one California man likes the idea of banning divorce to save marriage.
There may not always be a right and wrong to an issue (though there usually is), but the side with the better sense of humor generally laughs last and first (or something). Anyway, a gentleman from California seems to have a chip on his funny bone regarding a certain controversial proposition that eeked by the Golden State's voters (it was Prop 8 and it took some of the shine off of the Obama victory for some CA voters, I'm told). Per the AP, CA citizen John Marcotte would like outlaw divorce. Watch: Prop 8, Saving One … Read More
Rosie confirms that their relationship is on the rocks.
Rosie O'Donnell confirmed to USA Today that her relationship with her wife of five years, Kelli, is on the rocks and they may break up. "Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues. Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever," Rosie said on Tuesday. They have four children.
Rosie and Kelli, a former Nickelodeon executive, have been together since 1997, and their relationship has been marked several times over the years by rumors of a split. Back in 2003, The National Enquirer reported the Kelli left Rosie after … Read More
Mixed signals from the White House in recent days seem to indicate the answer is no.
In many ways, 2009 might appear to be a red-letter year for supporters of gay rights. In addition to being the year in which Iowa, Vermont and Maine will begin (or have already started) to allow same-sex couples to marry, it is also the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots (which served as the birth of the modern gay rights movement), and the beginning of a new era in the White House — led by a young president who's promised to repeal the policy barring openly gay people from serving in the military. Gay Or Straight? Body … Read More
New Hampshire gives same-sex couples the green light while the matter goes on elsewhere
It could just be our imagination, but it seems like the gay marriage movement keeps pushing forward. With one more state allowing same-sex marriage, one former federal official supporting same-sex marriage and a plethora of other states also tackling the issue, news on the topic is not likely to taper off anytime soon. Maybe more officials will stop being Dick... Cheneys and actually follow the former veep's lead.
New Hamsphire legalizes same-sex marriage
The Granite State became the sixth state in the nation to allow same-sex marriage after a revised bill passed the legislature on Wednesday. Gov. John Lynch signed the … Read More
