It's Snarkurday!

Oh, it’s a Kardastrophe! Khloe Kardastrophe, that is. Her brilliantly awful talk show, Kocktails with Khloe has been Kanceled.  I know, Surprise! Not.

And, ALLEGEDLY, the show was canceled because it was Khloe Khaos up in there. While it ALLEGEDLY had been a ratings bonanza for the FYI network — not to be confused with the FML network — because it had more viewers than the test pattern it replaced, it was all such a hot mess that the plug was finally pulled.

But the biggest hot mess was Khloe herself who was used to being on a hit show and being kinda the boss, but suddenly finding that she wasn’t all that and a bag of chips.

Let me break it down like this: the Kardastrophes are big on E! because E! puts them everywhere and caters to their every whim, but when you take a Kardastrophe, That Woman or Khloe, and put them where they have no E! publicity machine, they tank because, wait for it, no one really cares.

It’s like a bad sequel to Back to the Future, Part Has-been: Nicolas Cage and Vince Neil apparently got into a brawl outside the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas last week.

The fight started inside the hotel after a woman came up to Nicolas and Vince and asked Nicolas for an autograph. Then ALLEGEDLY, Vince Neil, apparently pissed the women didn’t know who he was, walked up behind the woman, yanked her hair and pulled her to the ground.

And so Nicolas Cage went all superhero on Neil’s ass, and the fight was taken outside where Cage tried to get Neil into a car … and that was all caught on tape.

Police were called and Vince Neil was cited for battery, but was not arrested. Odd, since he’s currently the subject of a criminal investigation for other Vegas brawls.

But it’s the video that’s kinda funny — Google it and you’ll see — because Nicolas Cage appears to be angling for another Oscar as his emotions run the gamut from screaming and shrieking at Vince Neil, to holding him close and whispering in his ear.

But maybe it’s just Nicolas Cage being insane … again.

So, we’ve heard about 50 Cent’s legal issues: he owes millions in damages for being a dick, and then tried to claim that he has no money, all the while posting pictures to social media of himself standing in front of piles of cash.

Well, Fiddy was in bankruptcy court again and the judge in the case was not amused at his lack of interest in the case.

Judge Ann Nevins wasn’t playing when she said she didn’t want to see anymore Instagram pictures of 50 Cent’s wads of cash pics. See, the last time Fiddy was in bankruptcy court to discuss those pictures, he took another picture of himself with thousands of dollars stuffed into his pants while he was eating M&Ms.

Cuz that’s what asshats do in bankruptcy court.

So when Judge Nevins saw that picture she took away Fiddy’s phone. Wow, how will Fiddy be able to mock the judicial system now that his iPhone is in contempt of court?

So Blac Chyna and Rob Kardastrophe are engaged. How’s that gonna play out? Um, on TV ALLEGEDLY and soon, too, because Blac’n’Rob don’t want to draw it out.

Blac’n’Rob are hoping to negotiate some kind of TV deal which would show the wedding planning and the actual wedding — just like Kim’s nanosecond marriage to Kris Humphries — and That Woman, who doesn’t much care for Blac and thinks the engagement is all media hype, is now trying to negotiate the deal so she can get a few coins out of it, too.

No word on whether or not she’ll negotiate the Divorce Court episode where Blac’n’Rob untie their mess of a union about 72 days after tying the knot.

And while we’re on Kardastrophe’s and those who are Kardastrophe-adjacent, did y’all hear this week when Kendall Jenner announced that she started the trend of wearing wigs and that no one else wore them until she did?

Marie Antoinette was last seen crawling from her crypt to bitch slap that child, and starting an army with RuPaul, Dolly Parton, Raquel Welch, George Washington, Patti LaBelle, Little Richard, King Louis XIV, Cher, and me, at age thirteen, wearing one of my Mom’s wigs on  Halloween.

Kendall, honey, sit down. For a long time please.

Now, due to a court order, newspapers in England and Wales can’t print any of the gritty details of this story, but thankfully we are not England and Wales …

Apparently David Furnish, the husband of Elton John — the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit — has been named in a sex scandal across the pond.

English papers are calling the couple “AB” and “CD” while reporting the tale of a “well-known figure”, AKA David Furnish, who had a threesome with another couple more than four years ago.

The National Enquirer — and remember they broke the John Edwards cheater story — says “Elton John betrayed by cheating husband” though they also say John says he knew about the relationship. According to the Enquirer, Furnish had unprotected sex with a man at least twice—an allegation John’s lawyers deny—and that Furnish joined the man and his husband in a threesome that involved cavorting in a kiddie pool filled with olive oil.

Seriously … olive oil and kiddie pools. And since they have been banned from telling the tale, The Sun newspaper was left to simply publishing a picture of a small plastic pool and a glass jar of olive oil.

Just sayin’.

Last we heard from Megan Fox she was divorcing her husband Brian Austin Green after several years of marriage and two children.

Or, is it three children? See, Megan Fox is pregnant again — showing off a baby bump to promote the no-one-asked-for-this sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — and the baby daddy is  none other than her soon-to-be ex.

It seems that while separating and planning to divorce, Brian and Megan shared a house and a bed and the desire to have unprotected sex and now they’ll go on with the divorce and the baby.

Only in Hollywood.

It’s not exactly shaping up to be a great week for Kardastrophes, and those who are Kardastrophe-adjacent.

Khloe’s show got the boot, and then she took out an ad, or just flapped her lips, that she’s done, again, with Lamar Odom. Kanye Kardastrophe also trotted out yet another excuse for his stealing the limelight from Taylor Swift—something he did almost twenty years ago … or at least it feels like it.

And now Tyga, the baby daddy to his girlfriend’s brother’s soon-to-be stepchild, might have to say goodbye to another one of his leased luxury cars. According to documents Tyga owes a whole lot of money to Choice Motor Credit and hasn’t made a single payment on his 2013 Lamborghini Aventador.

But this isn’t Tyga’s first run in with creditors who want their coins. Earlier this year, Choice Motor Credit repossessed Tyga’s 2014 Bentley Mulsanne — because he still owed $91,000 for that car — and last Summer it was revealed that Tyga owed two different landlords a combined total of $150,000 in unpaid rent. 

And now the repo man has a’calling … again. Look for a Very Special Episode of Keeping Up With The Kardastrophe’s: Tyga Loses His Car … And His Shiz.

Oh Gwyneth Paltrow, you slay me with your snobbery.

Gwyneth has a new cookbook that someone wrote for her called It’s All Easy because Gwyneth is all about the simplistic of cooking … like asking the maid to rustle up some eggs … ordering the gardener to cut you a salad from the Back Forty … asking the driver to swing by Whole Foods for a bale of kale.

But it was this line that killed me, with Paltrow declaring her home a microwave free zone:

“I do not own a microwave. No. I believe in the old-fashioned way of heating things up.”

Gwyneth-speak for:

I have the servants heat it up with the flame from an old Bic lighter.

And one more thing Gwyneth will not tolerate: dill.

“It really offends me.”

Dill was last seen trying to score a dime bag on Skid Row to put itself out of Paltrow’s misery. 

It's Snarkurday!

So, a lot of people are speculating as to what Kim Kardastrophe and her husband, Kanye Kardastrophe, will be naming their second child.

And it won’t be a South West sibling for North West because, well, let’s have Kim toss a word salad explanation:

“I don’t like South West, though, because that’s like – you know, North will always, you know, be better… And be more – she has a better direction….so I wouldn’t do that. I don’t think we’ll go with another direction.”

Huh? Hopefully, whatever they name this child it will grow up to be able to structure a coherent thought, unlike Mommy.

There’s already a problem with the new ABC show, The FAB Life, starring Tyra Banks and Chrissy Teigen, and, no, it’s not just because it stars Tyra and Chrissy, though that would seem enough. It seems the former BigForeHeaded supermodel and the current GoingCommando supermodel don’t speak … at all.

A source — and it ain’t Lohan because that would be a threesome of hot messes — says:

“You never put two supermodels on the same show together, especially when one’s more than 10 years younger than the other. They are so different. Tyra thinks about everything. She thinks about what to say, down to when to move her arm. Chrissy is from the new school, where she says whatever she wants.”

Tyra needs to think about where to move her arm, and Chrissy doesn’t think at all. M’kay. I smell Supermodel D-i-saster.

Actress — well, I’ll use the term ‘actress’ loosely, because she has just two expressions: Mopey and Pouty — Kristen Stewart is apparently done with men after her boyfriend, Sparkles The Vampire, Robert Pattinson, dumped her after she boned her married director.

Yup, KStew has a girlfriend, y’all, and we can thank her mama Jules for the scoop, after Jules said this to the Sunday Mirror:

“What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy. She’s my daughter; I’m just her mom so she knows I would accept her choices. I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her. What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl.”

Except now Jules is saying she never said that:

“I spoke to Sharon Feinstein about my film K-11 that has been put on display in the Hollywood Museum.  … She also asked me about my views on gay rights, which I was happy to express. Then we talked briefly about the fundraiser I am hosting for TheWolfConnection.org. Never ever did we discuss Kristen!” 

Jules is maintaining that all she ever said about KStew’s ALLEGED girl-toy, Alicia Cargile, is that she’d met her as her daughter’s personal assistant … uh huh … and all she ever said was “She’s a lovely girl.”

Now the only issue is that the interviewer, Sharon Feinstein, says she has the tapes of Jules talking about her Lesbian daughter and she’ll release them. And do I’m guessing KStew will finally reveal a new facial expression: Pissed Off At Mom.

It looks like it might not be all Gay Happy Heaven in the Elton John and David Furnish household. Rumor has it — I miss Adele … but I digress — that Furnish is cheating on John, and actually bought his new boy-toy, personal trainer, Danny,  a £300,000 house. The pair met during a “night out” and has spent a lot of time together in the past year while Elton’s been busy working and touring.

Ruh-roh. According to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, Land Registry documents from April 2013 show David paid more than £330,000 for a two-bed flat in South London and reportedly helped furnish and redecorate the pad.

David and Danny went on a number of holidays together and Danny even flew first class to Hawaii to celebrate David’s 51st birthday with him, as well as hanging out in London.

Now, Danny maintains he’s “just friends” with David … and Elton as well … but, well, how many friends buy their other friends houses?

Uh huh.

Shortbite:

Caitlyn Jenner is going to bank about $6 million for her E! reality show, which just proves that, even after transitioning, she’s as much a Kardastrophe as she was before.

I guess there really is life after death, because it appears that Fashion Police is coming back after Kathy Griffin, Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic bludgeoned it to death.

Oh, and to make sure it retains that Joan Rivers sense of humor, the new host will be that bastion of comedic entertainment, Melissa Rivers.

Seriously? And Melissa thinks Kathy tarnished Joan’s memory? I imagine Joan sitting in Heaven eating snacks with Liz Taylor and shouting:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

It was just about this time last year that the story broke about JLo’s underage — I kid ... or do I — boyfriend, Casper Not-So-Smart banging a transsexual model named Sofia Vissa.

Well, JLo stuck it out with her cheating boyfriend for about a hot minute and then they “broke up.” Of course, we now know they never really broke up, and were back together before JLo’s nails could dry. But they kept up the lie, with JLo talking about being single and looking for love, and Casper looking like a pathetic high school boy without a date for prom, until that story died when we learned that the break up was a lie and the two had never really been apart.

So, they’re back together and it’s summer and, well, it looks like Casper’s cheating again … with Lebanese pop star Haifa Wehbe. Casper starred in and choreographed Haifa’s “Breathing You In” music video and allegedly started banging that pop star at about the same time that he started banging JLo again.

And it looks like JLo isn’t happy being sloppy seconds again, because just as Casper started negotiating to be in another Haifa “video” Mama JLo put her foot down and nixed the deal. So, are they gonna break up again, and then lie when they get back together, and then get back together on camera in time for Casper to find another side-piece?

Stay tuned … this is riveting stuff.

Caitlyn Jenner and That Woman must be so proud of their daughter.

Not the one who made a porn tape and then turned that into a career; not the one who married the drunk and gets pregnant every nine months; not the one who married and divorced the crack basketballer; and not the one who’s started modeling for all the biggies in fashion.

The other one; the underage one who seemingly does nothing but post her lips to Instagram and date a years older rapper, Tyga, who, after denying his relationship with Kylie because he’s basically guilty of statutory rape, released a new song that is ALLEGEDLY about his little girl toy, called Pleazer.

And it some of the lyrics in his “song” that are garnering a lot of attention because he seems to be bragging about banging a child called Kylie:

I just hit and forget they even existeded

Ha, it’s all the same though

I changed the lingo, gave her dangle, bury the dang ho

I’m fuckin’ faster, I’m gettin’ stronger

I hit her, she backwards, lickin’ her asshole

My dick is the password

T nasty, ’bout to catch a felony for it

Vagina juice like orange juice in the mornin’

Let’s not even go into the illiteracy, or the fact that the subject is disgusting, but let’s talk about how Tyga thinks he gonna catch a felony because the age of consent in California and Kylie, who began her relationship with Tyga in 2014, is only seventeen.

Tyga, who at first seemed to be bragging about banging a baby, now says he wrote the song two years ago and it was about his Baby Mama, Blac Chyna, and not Kylie except … Blac Chyna was never underage when she let Tyga dip his STD Wick into her — and create a child — so he would never catch a felony from that.

It’s about Kylie; it’s clear. But what remains unclear is why That Woman and Caitlyn are allowing this to happen; is it because Caitlyn is busy doing her own thing? Is it because That Woman negotiated a percentage of the profits from whoring out another of her children so as long as there are coins slipping into the bank accounts, she doesn’t care who, or what, schtups her child.

Lovely.

Random Musings

It’s been a while since I’ve Randomly Mused — darn those pesky holidays — but I do have something to say, first and foremost about a show past its prime or relevance and about a hottie on that show …

Marshall Williams, an actor, model and contestant on Canadian Idol — and let’s not discuss the lack of relevance of America Idol — is joining the cast of Glee for its final … thank the goddess …season, playing Spencer, a foot ball star and stud and gay man.

But producers are quick to point out that Spencer is a “post-Glee gay — no one messes with him about his sexuality because he will kick their asses if they do.”

But do they mess around with him in, um, other ways?

Asking for a friend …

Speaking of gay, the oh-so-not-gay Congressman Aaron Schock Tweeted this vacation snapshot.

That’s all.

While watching the tube the other night an ad for Selma, the new picture about MLK and the Civil Rights Movement came on. I mentioned to Carlos that I wanted to see it and he said, “Selma? Selma Hayek?”

I said, “Yes, Selma Hayek, noted Civil Rights activist from the 1960s.”

Carlos gets a pass because he was not raised in this country and therefore never learned about Selma, but still, I almost choked from laughter.

Plus, it’s Salma Hayek, I reminded him.

Over there to England, Sir Elton John married David Furnish, his partner of 21 years, over the hols — that’s what they call holidays in Britain and I’m feeling a little Madonna so I’m’a fake a Brit accent, too.

But, sad to say, things need to change in the UK because had Sir Elton married a woman she would be Lady John, but David, as a an … gasp … is given no such title.

C’mon, England, make David a Sir.

Earlier this week, virulently homophobic former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell was sentenced to two years in prison after being convicted of corruption. Wait? A corrupt politician? Say it ain’t so!

McDonnell, after being sentenced, addressed the court:

"I stand before you as a heartbroken and humbled man.”

Not so fast, you more of a busted man, a criminal man, but he also said he will dedicate the rest of his life “newly to service.”

Hopefully in the prison laundry.

No starch please.

Since marriage equality finally came to Florida, it wasn’t such a shock that Tampa Bay Times named Florida’s Attorney General Pam Bondi its "Loser Of 2014":

“It's hard to imagine how someone who won re-election so handily (rival George Sheldon could not afford a single TV ad) could emerge from 2014 more wounded and diminished as our Republican attorney general … Bondi's clumsy communication skills and relentless defense of Florida's gay marriage ban have made her a modern-day Anita Bryant. Antagonizing Florida's gay voters over same-sex marriage and Hispanic voters over immigration reform ensures Bondi has a bright political future ahead of her — if she moves to Mississippi.”

C’mon, don’t do that to Mississippi!

Wait, so David Furnish can’t be a ‘Sir’ but Joan Collins gets to be a ‘Dame’?

The diva of Dynasty was made the female equivalent of a knight in Queen Elizabeth II's annual New Year's honors list. She was recognized for her services to nonprofit groups helping children.

Sadly, right after the awards, Krystle Carrington appeared out of nowhere and shoved Joan into a pool.

More Carlos? M’kay.

He has the habit of not wanting to use the last of anything. He’s been known to ring a deodorant stick dry rather than open a new one; he’s been known to make dinner, and then dig out a piece of Tupperware to save … literally … a teaspoon of rice for the next day.

But this is about toilet paper. We recently had a houseguest at Casa Bob y Carlos and Carlos was cleaning the guest bathroom when he saw that the toilet paper in that bath was down to its last two or three sheets. He replaced the roll with a new one, but brought the nearly unused roll into the master bathroom for us … or me … to, er, polish off. Well, I decided to test Carlos and so I refused to use it and instead used a new roll.

That nearly-done roll sat in out bathroom for over a week until Carlos finally broke and used it. Then, he brought out the cardboard roll and tried to shove it down my shirt. I tossed it at him; he tossed it at me … we’re children, you know … and then I tossed it to the floor. H left it there and I said it would stay there, possibly to become a cat toy unless he picked it up.

Children, remember.

But then I had an idea. I took that toilet paper roll, which still had a single sheet dangling from it, and drew a face on it, with a tongue sticking out, and taped it to a piece of card stock and stuck it in the mailbox for Carlos to find when he returned from work.

That’s all, there’s no real point to the story except that, well, we’re children, and I am far more childish!

In a bit of crazy, Teabagging loon and Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert promised to be the engine of change that conservatives have been calling for in their rebellion against the establishment wing of the Republican Party and vowed to unseat John Boehner as Speaker of the House. 

If elected speaker, Louie Louie said he would “fight amnesty tooth and nail” because immigrants have no place in the Land of the Free, and that he would defund Obamacare so only the wealthy could afford healthcare, and he would, ahem, bring “positive solutions that will return power back to the people.”

And by people, he means rich white guys who hate women, the Gays, the immigrants and, well, anyone who isn’t rich white and male.

Sadly, Gohmert failed at his attempt, though, also sadly, we are stuck with Boehner for the next two years of a Do Nothing Congress.

Gosh, I wished I used regular mail more because next month the U.S. commemorative "Forever Stamp" honoring San Francisco political figure and LGBT activist Harvey Milk will be issued on Harvey Milk Day, May 22.

I may have to buy a sheet just to have it.

Dave Elliott, an anchor on Mississippi’s WLOX, thinks there are just too many LGBT folks and their stories on the news these days and he thinks we should all just take a vacation:

WLOX responded on its Facebook page by saying:

"We are not happy at all with the post or any imagined 'free publicity.' Dave made this post initially on his personal Facebook page, and you should look for him to address it on that same page."

I guess Dave Elliott might have wished the Black Community had taken a break from all that Civil Rights mess in the 60s? I mean, how dare we continue to fight for equality day in and day out when people like Dave Elliott are probably more interested in CNN's round-the-clock missing airplane coverage.

Elliott later apologized for what he called his "insensitive and unprofessional Facebook post.”

I think Elliott should take a Facebookation.

So, RuPaul’s Drag Race …

This week's mini-challenge was "The Read." Ru opened up the “liberry” and asked each dragtestant to throw a little shade on her competitors. Darienne took the Top Spot, and got to choose her team for the main challenge where the girls would be split into two groups, with each one delivering a short rap for a '90s-style rap song, "Oh No She Better Don't."

Sidenote: Oh no, she betta don’t has been my catchphrase for the week and my co-workers are ready to kill me; to which I say, Oh no, they betta don’t!

Back to the DR: the runway challenge this week was to show off some Crazy, Sexy, Cool fashion, so let’s break dance it down:

#1 Adore Delano. I don't adore Delano whatsoever, but she nailed the read, especially when telling Laganja that she should reverse her ‘death drop’ and just ‘drop dead.’ She also owned the rap part of the show, and she once again strapped herself into the corset for the runway but then she failed in the Floor-length Dress Challenge, by wearing some cheap looking sheer drapes that stopped at her ankles. Note to Adore: I don’t.

#2 Bianca Del Rio. I’m loving her and thought she would have nailed The Read — she said to Adore, “I know what you got on your SATs … ketchup! — because she’s as snarkastic as I but she failed that. And I was worried about her rap, which she kinda nailed, and then she brought it to the runway.

#3 I have to give props to Joslyn Fox for her read to Darienne:  "This is the girl who probably sits reverse cowgirl on the toilet just so she has a flat surface to eat off of." Her rap was good, but her runway was just a big old strappy mess, too much of a bad thing.

#4 My darling Ben De La Crème took a wee tumble. Her rap was not the best, the outfit even worse, and she totally missed the mark on Crazy, Sexy, Cool on the runway. I love her style, but I’d like to see her mix it up a bit.

Now for the Bottoms:

Courtney Act is relying on the pretty and I’m not the only one saying that. I don’t get drag queen. I get pretty girl from her, and that whole coming out in a blanket and ripping it off to show the bikini bod on the runway thing was all kinds of wrong.

Darienne seemed kinda mean this week and her rap was awful — dressed in shiny black trash bags — and her runway look was the furthest thing from Crazy Sexy Cool. It looked like a version of the same thing she’s done all season.

And Miss Trinity K. Bonet? She seemed so ready for the rap, but she sucked it like no one else; then she complained that she doesn’t sing, she lip syncs. Well, hunty, this is the DR, so step it mother**king up. I did like her Cher-Naomi Campbell runway look, and her lip sync was in sync, so no wonder she Sashayed to stay.

Which means ….

Good bye Milk. You weren’t the worst this week in the challenges, but when asked by the judges to bring some glam, you brought out a bed sheet? I loved your individuality, and find it odd that when you tried to conform, you got the Sashay. Plus, as a dude, you’re kinda cute.

What did YOU think?

Next week: Two! Two! Two eps in one night!

Over there to Missouri, state Representative Mike Colona has introduced a House Joint Resolution to repeal Missouri's existing ban on same-sex marriage:

"We passed the same-sex marriage ban 10 years ago, and I think so much has changed between then and now. I think more people understand that marriage is a basic right that the State guarantees."

 The state ban on same-sex marriage passed in 2004 with 71% of voters supporting and 29% opposing, but Colona thinks maybe the tide has changed enough to step forward.

Here’s hoping he’s right, though, but, yeah … Missouri.

I loves me some Fashion police, but last week's episode brought out some man candy in the form of one Victor Cruz, a wide receiver for the New York Giants. he was all kinds of sexy and cute and funny. Plus, the man has style!

Okay, so howsabout those Brooklyn Nets? 

Yeah, I know, you had no idea that I followed the volleyball! Well, I don’t but I heard that the Nets have been on a wild winning streak and have just made the playoffs. And, not to say this had anything to do with it, but the change for the better has come ever since the Nets signed openly gay player Jason Collins.

Just sayin’.

So, there’s actually a video game based on the Old Testament and, well, a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for it has failed miserably, so the makers of the game are looking for a scapegoat and think they’ve found it … in Satan. Really.

Richard Gaeta, a co-founder of Phoenix Interactive, argues that since the launch of the Kickstarter campaign to raise money for Bible Chronicles: The Call of Abraham, trouble has come into the lives of all the people in his company:

"I believe that, 100 percent. It's very tangible. From projects falling through and people that were lined up to help us make this a success falling through. Lots of factors raining down on us like fire and brimstone … If Satan is rallying some of his resources to forestall, delay, or kill this project, I think, this must be a perceived threat to his kingdom."

At least, this one time, they aren’t blaming The Gays.

And for some cool news ….

The producers of Broadway’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch have announced a charitable partnership with LGBT youth organization Hetrick-Martin Institute as part of the Broadway show’s run.

The musical will donate a portion of each ticket sale to Hetrick-Martin Institute, home of the Harvey Milk High School, where at-risk youth can learn without fear of physical or emotional attacks. According to a press release, the partnership "will also utilize the resources of the production, including representatives from the show meeting with young people in an educational and mentoring capacity, and additional fundraising support."

Since we may be in NYC this summer, I’d like to see this show and give back just a little. Plus, it’s NPH people!

Now that The Gays can legally wed in England and Wales, Elton John and David Furnish — who have been in a civil partnership since 2005 — are planning to get married in the UK this year.

Furnish explains the significance of marriage to his family:

"When it was announced that gay couples were able to obtain a civil partnership, Elton and I did so on the day it came into law. As something of a showman, [Elton] is aware that whatever he says and does, people will sit up and take notice -so what better way to celebrate that historic moment in time. Our big day made the news, it was all over the internet within minutes of happening and front page news the next day. [But] Elton and I both think there is a massive difference between calling someone your 'partner' and calling them your 'husband'. 'Partner' is such an impersonal word and doesn't adequately describe the love we have for each other. When Zachary and Elijah [the couple's sons] are grown up and having children of their own, they will – hopefully – be living in a world where everyone can be equal, when being married isn't about whether you're straight or gay, but simply about being human."

Happy news, and I cannot wait to see the pictures of that wedding, though David suggested that he and Elton will simply go to a registry office in England in May with their sons and a couple of witnesses.”

Damn, because I bet Elton would have made a spectacular groom!

And while we’re talking same-sex marriage, let’s congratulate Sara Gilbert, who married her fiancée Linda Perry over the weekend in California.

It's happening everywhere, y'all!

Congratulations to the happy couple!
