“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

What is the X-Factor?

You may have overheard it in a water-cooler conversation at work, learned about it while dancing at a club, or discovered it while browsing the web. The X-Factor is coming to the United States in September, and I'd have to say, apart from Wonder-woman this is the show I'm most eager to watch.

You're probably thinking that this is an American Idol rip-off doomed for failure, but that's where you're mistaken, the show has been around for 7 seasons.  With Simon Cowell at the helm, the show flopping is rather unlikely, he is the producer and creator of the show after all.

There are major differences between Idol and X-factor - the first one being that it's open to anyone, of any age.  You can be part of a group of 800, in a duo, trio, single, it doesn't matter.  The auditions are held in front of 3,000-4,000 people, the finalists are mentored by a judge who is assigned a category and then aids the contestant with song selection and styling.  There are many more surprises in store, check out this amazing trailer by Simon Cowell and you be the judge.

Holy shit, 5 million dollars! Our friend Renee better start practicing like RIGHT NOW if he really wants to stand up to the unforgiving Simon Cowell, and live to sing again.
