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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Quoted: Elton John's Advice to Madonna for Super Bowl XLVI

Make sure you lip-sync good. 

Elton John‘s advice to Madonna, who’s performing at Super Bowl XLVI, on Good Morning America.

I know that Elton is still pissed because Madonna won the Golden Globe over him.  And who knows?  Maybe she didn't deserve it, but this is getting ridiculous.  She won and that's it.  Both of you are equally famous and filthy rich, stop throwing shade and get over it. Just sayn'

Do Not Allow Judge to Take Her Children Away Just Because She Has Cancer!

I just signed the petition a few seconds ago; I have a couple aunts and uncles who have succumbed to cancer - it's a terrible, terrible disease.  Signing this has made my Sunday even brighter.

A friend of mine sent me an email on Thursday on a mother who is on the verge of losing her 5-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter.  It truly brought me to tears when I read the reason behind it.  As most of you know by now, I work for The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and ironically enough, this post is based in part, in the field I work in - Breast Cancer.

Alaina Giordano was diagnosed with breast cancer 3-1/2 years ago when her children were only 2 and 8-years-old.  As she puts it, she goes for treatment once a month and her disease is currently stable.
"my kids know that I have cancer, they know that I go for treatment once a month now, they know that it's stable. They know me as mom, and it doesn't affect our daily life."
Well, a judge in North Carolina has used the cancer, and Alaina's treatments, as the main reason to transfer custody of her two kids to her ex-husband.  And all this, after she specifically told the judge this man was abusive, and furthermore, lived 700 miles away.  

The media has just started to cover this; she was recently interviewed on Good Morning America and the Today Show.

She only has two weeks to appeal, so maybe with all the noise everyone is making, and the public standing behind her, Alaina will be able to reverse this decision.

Do your part - sign the petition - it could be one of the best decisions you've ever made.

Gaga to Launch 'GMA' Summer Concert Series

On Friday, May 27th, in NYC, Good Morning America is kicking off their Summer Concert Series with Lady Gaga.  And here is the big GMA announcement made yesterday morning.

The video starts off with:

REVOLUTIONARY - BREATHTAKING - FEARLESS - ORIGINAL - There is only one Lady Gaga, 7 Number One HIT songs, Over 50 MILLION Singles Sold, 5 GRAMMYS, Billboard's ARTIST of the year, Number 1 on TWITTER with 9 MILLION followers and 31 MILLION fans 'like' her on Facebook, And get this... There have been over A BILLION combined views of her videos online and that number is growing fast and her single, BORN THIS WAY has smashed records.

So.... what say you? Are you going to allow Good Morning America and Lady Gaga ignite your Summer!  I know one fan (my partner Ryan) who will probably be anxious about this.

Chris Brown Destroys Studio on Good Morning America

A lot of good those anger management classes did for Chris Brown,  he lost his marbles on Good Morning America this morning.  

Visibly frustrated and full of anger, Brown tore off his shirt, broke through a glass window with a chair, and briskly walked the streets of New York shirtless.

All it takes is a little push of a button to send this young man off.  He then proceeds to tweet, “I’m so over people bringing this past shit up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bullshit.

I don't know about you, but this boy has some serious issues.  I'm guessing "Dancing with the Stars" will dismiss him from his performance next week. It was only a  matter of time, before he did something stupid.  He is currently on probation, so you know what this means?

See what started it all...
