The next Modern Family trip will take the Pritchett clan to Australia. Producers promise at least one koala will appear in the episode which will help make me happy.
Someone in charge of promoting Archer decided to post nudes of Archer characters to a Reddit subreddit for exhibitionism. Sadly, they haven’t posted anything you haven’t already seen on the show.

In sad news, Kathryn Joosten of Desperate Housewives and West Wing fame has passed away from cancer at the age of 72. Her characters were always brassy and fun, and the world is a dimmer place without her.
The New York Times delves into the idea of "gaydar" and how we use subtle visual cues about facial structure and movement to intuit sexuality. Personally, my gaydar is useless these days. The younger generation is more at ease with their sexuality, and every guy under 25 pings for me.
Charlize Theron chews the scenery in Snow White and the Huntsman to great effect evidently, with a projected box office haul of $55 million. Men In Black 3 will be second with $29 million, and The Avengers pulls in another $19 million to become the third highest grossing movie in history behind Titanic and Avatar.
Paul Williams, who wrote "The Rainbow Connection," flirts with blasphemy by announcing that Gonzo,...

Morning Meme: "The Three Little Pigs" Go On Trial, Brad Pitt Joins "8," and The Muppets Get a Sequel
Stargate's Michael Shanks returns to my television screen this summer in Canadian soap Saving Hope, in which the sexy man will star as a brilliant doctor in a coma, haunting his own hospital while his fiancée played by Smallville's Erica Durance tries to save him.
The Indiana House has backed away from plans to restrict specialty license plates, which many saw as targeting the plate for the gay Indiana Youth Group. Citing how volatile the debate had gotten, sponsor Ed Soliday withdrew the bill.
In a move so savvy it might almost qualify as cynical, Tim Gill has appointed Republican Kirk Fordham to lead his Action Fund.
An Oxford grad has returned his English degree to Exeter over their decision to rent space to the anti-gay Christian Concern conference. I'm assuming this is symbolic, since it doesn't affect his record or references.
The Muppets will be getting a sequel,...

And his boyfriend bakes for a living!
Welcome to Celebrity Twitterwatch, where we let you see what's on the mind of you favorite celebrities other than the lines that someone else has written for them. The holidays seem to be on everyone's mind this week, which means that people who make their living at least partially on their looks are concerned about food.
I've never understood how The Setup Squad's Jonathan D. Lovitz does it anyhow - his boyfriend bakes cookies professionally. I'd be as big as a house, and I mean my house, not those tiny apartments people in New York City live in. But maybe it's those close quarters in New York City that keep everyone sick, so they can be thin?
Well I have the flu. I hurt.Everywhere. Silver lining; I'll be so skinny when it's over

I used to spend a lot of time sneering at the Jonas brothers, but as they've gotten older (and a little less squeaky clean), I find their ability to not take themselves seriously quite endearing. Like Nick Jonas as the deadbeat dad on Last Man Standing, still having to show off his voice.
Zach Wahls went viral speaking in Iowa about his gay moms. This past weekend, his speech went viral a second time, reaching 15 million views. He's taking some time off from college to finish a book and continue his activism. "I happen to be a go-getter student-turned-activist speaking out in defense of his moms, but this isn’t—and shouldn’t be—the norm. Nobody wants to spend all of his or her time defending his family, and I’m looking forward to mine no longer needing defending."
Wait – I knew soccer players played grab ass, took off their shirts,...

Welcome back, folks! Did you miss us? Even a little? Things get quiet over the holidays, but we've still got things to share. But first, I was hoping as we shift gears into Christmas we might revive the forum topic where members share their Christmas trees. My first tree in the new house is up, though I prefer my outdoor decorations to my indoor ones this year.
I hate to admit that my beloved Muppets were beaten by a sparkly vampire, but Breaking Dawn raked in another $62 million, while my felt friends delivered a solid $42 million. Happy Feet 2 took third, with Arthur Christmas falling into fourth with $17 million and Hugo scraping together $15 million.
Remember that sad little ginger seal that was rejected by its colony a couple of months back? Well, karma isn't always a beyotch, because she's now the star of her Russian zoo.
Is anyone besides me surprised...

Starz intends to host free screenings of Torchwood: Miracle Day prior to the premier next month. If you're lucky enough to live close enough to a city with a screening.
The FBI briefly invited members of the Westboro Baptist Church to train their operatives on how to remain calm around people who thoroughly enrage you. The program ended abruptly when the higher-ups caught on.
DNA Magazine interviewed The Setup Squad's Jonathan D. Lovitz about his jury duty protest, the show, and somehow got him out of his clothes for the accompanying photo. Warning: link resizes your browser.
Madonna's W.E. will get a release on December 9th in New York and Los Angeles. J. Edgar, by Dustin Lance Black and Clint Eastwood will bow in October, which is much sooner than I was expecting.
Meanwhile, Sony has shelled out major cash for out director Roland Emmerich's new film The Singularity.

I'll confess to seriously mixed feelings about "the gay channel" Logo's recent reliance on cheaper-to-produce reality TV shows, at the clear expense of enjoyable, but much more expensive-to-mount scripted shows like Noah's Arc and (especially) Rick and Steve the Happiest Gay Couple in All the World.
Sure, RuPaul's Drag Race was deservedly a big hit (and The Robert Verdi Show was a gem, but under-appreciated, mostly because people missed the satire). But I was mostly underwhelmed by the RuPaul spin-off Drag U and the flower-arranging show The Arrangement. As for The A-List: New York ... well, don't get me started.
But Logo (which owns AfterElton.com) has another potential hit on their hands with The Setup Squad, premiering April 25th at 11:30 Pm, at least based on the first episode, provided to us by the channel.
