mariah carey shakes the haters off and blows the top off the roof at her recent christmas concert in nyc

i love rich juzwiack when he writes post like this

last word freak.

alec baldwin very publicly announced his retreat from the public eye in a lengthy and tone-deaf new york magazine article this week, and said mean things about pretty much everyone he's worked with in the last five years along the way.

on shia lebouf:

So I asked the company to break. And I took the stage manager, with Sullivan, to another room, and I said one of us is going to go. I said, “I’ll tell you what, I’ll go.” I said don’t fire the kid, I’ll quit. They said no, no, no, no, and they fired him. And I think he was shocked. He had that card, that card you get when you make films that make a lot of money that gives you a certain kind of entitlement. I think he was surprised that it didn’t work in the theater.

on msnbc:

Morning Joe was boring. Scarborough is neither eloquent nor funny. And merely cranky doesn’t always work well in the morning. Mika B. is the Margaret Dumont of cable news. I liked Chris Jansing a lot. Very straightforward. I like Lawrence O’Donnell, but he’s too smart to be doing that show. Rachel Maddow is Rachel Maddow, the ultimate wonk/dweeb who got a show, polished it, made it her own. She’s talented. The problem with everybody on MSNBC is none of them are funny, although that doesn’t prevent them from trying to be.

on rachel maddow:

Another told me, regarding the “toxic little queen” comment, that Rachel Maddow was the prime mover in my firing, as she was aghast that I had been hired and viewed me as equivalent to Mel Gibson. Another source told me, “You know who’s going to get you fired, don’t you? Rachel. Phil will do whatever Rachel tells him to do.” I think Rachel Maddow is quite good at what she does. I also think she’s a phony who doesn’t have the same passion for the truth off-camera that she seems to have on the air.

on bill de blasio:

Bill de Blasio, who apparently gets his news from TMZ, too, distanced himself from me.

on america:

Even the U.S., which is so preposterously judgmental now. The heart, the arteries of the country are now clogged with hate. The fuel of American political life is hatred. Who would ever dream that Obama would deserve to be treated the way he has been? The birth-certificate bullshit, which is just Obama’s version of Swiftboating. And all for the electoral nullification that seems like a cancer on the American system. But this is Roger Ailes. And Fox. And Breitbart. And this is all about hate. It’s Hate Incorporated.

on new york city:

I probably have to move out of New York. I just can’t live in New York anymore. Everything I hated about L.A. I’m beginning to crave. L.A. is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal. I used to hate that. But New York has changed. Manhattan is like Beverly Hills.

on brooklyn:

And the soul of New York has moved to Brooklyn, where everything new and exciting seems to be. I have to accept that.

he also used the word "tranny" and called anderson cooper and andrew sullivan the "gay department of justice".

beyonce to the haters: "FUCK YOU"

  "Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper soundcheck, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk. It was about the president and the inauguration, and I wanted to make him and my country proud. So I decided to sing along with my prerecorded track which is very common in the music industry," she explained. "I'm very proud of my performance." 

 And then there was the question as to what she would do at the halftime show, which is under more intense scrutiny following the inauguration scandal. "I will absolutely be singing live," she said. "I am well-rehearsed. This is what I'm born to do." Beyoncé almost seemed to welcome the controversy: "I love haters," she said. "No shame. No hate." any questions?

what's for lunch?????

it's hangover chipotle wednesday. ima place an online order, and it's gonna be just like this when i skip the line.

gchatz with keekerz

kylie: i just lurve this 'boys from the south' song

kylie: kandi wishes she could write this song

im not going to stand for this
kylie: instead she'd be like "just try to take a bottle away from a drunk"
that's what country singers sing about right? bottles? drunks?
i dont hate kandi i like her!
me: then act like it
kylie: i think she's an amazing songwriter
and i wish she wasnt so tentative about her new venture
she's not giving her all for tennessee

if loving this is wrong, i dont want to be right

not good enough.

the tennessee tea party's follow-up to their hate-speech:

The president of the Tennessee Tea Party apologized for a tweet someone in his group sent out calling Barney Frank a “perverted sodomite,” though she added a caveat: “While privately and inwardly I may agree with the commentary, it is completely irresponsible for any one of us to write these kinds of commentaries.” (via)

still totally gross.

to balance out the internet, i've included rachel maddow's segment from last night, dedicated to highlighting barney frank's many accomplishments while in office. stay classy, tennessee.

Gays Have A New Meme: i can haz destroy traditional marriage?

Also, the Republican controlled legislature in New Hampshire might succeed in overturning the states equal marriage law passed in 2009.  Recently State Representative David Bates (R) stopped pursuing a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages, opting instead to simply pass a law replacing the option of marriage for same-sex couples with civil unions.  It's important to mention that the civil unions would be open to any unmarried adults, including relatives, would lack many of the rights granted by marriage, and also would allow "anyone to discriminate against such couples in employment, housing and public accommodations based on religious or moral beliefs" (so basically worthless).

Representative Bates says he his dropping the constitutional amendment because the legislative option is more simple.  It likely has more to do with the fact that a number of polls throughout this year have indicated that a majority of New Hampshire residents support the equal marriage law, and:

A poll from the University of New Hampshire this month showed that 62 percent of residents oppose repealing the same-sex marriage law -- including a plurality of likely Republican primary voters-- while only 27 percent support repealing it.

This means a constitutional amendment would be unlikely to receive the two-thirds voter support required to pass in a referendum.

Governor John Lynch (D) has vowed to veto the bill if passed, and a veto override would take two-thirds of present and voting members in each house.  Along part lines, the Republicans have enough votes to accomplish this, but some aren't convinced a veto override is guaranteed.

The bill has already cleared the House Judicary Committee.

Also, Rick Perry is urging the New Hampshire legislature to repeal the law, but he's probably drunk so who cares.

I've got to say, it's pretty ballsy of Republicans to overturn a law that has a majority of support amongst the people they are tasked with representing.  Usually they're the party crowing on and on about activist judges and legislatures imposing their will on the people, and insisting that questions of same-sex marriage be decided by a referendum.  But a lack of principle is what I've come to expect from them.
