Sue Ellen Ewing - Beautiful at 70

At 70, Linda Gray (Sue Ellen Ewing) looked absolutely fabulous in NYC Wednesday night.  According to The Daily Mail she walked the runway along with many other celebrities at the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show. 

For those who don't know much about it, Heart Disease kills a woman nearly every minute in this country and this show was meant to raise awareness for that reason; heart health. MD Anderson Cancer Center (where I work) also plan events and hand out Red Dress pins in support of this cause. Breast Cancer comes in 2nd to heart disease as the number one killer in women.





Linda Gray is preparing to make her big return to television, alongside Larry Hagman (JR Ewing) and Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing) in the new Dallas series.  It is not a remake, the new series will follow the lives of JR and Bobby's sons, John Ross and Christopher Ewing.

Super hottie Josh Henderson will be playing the role of John Ross Ewing while Jessie Metcalfe will be playing the role Christopher Ewing.  The beautiful Jordana Brewster, Ghost Whisperer Jennifer Love-Hewitt, and Lost actor Josh Holloway are all expected to join the cast as well. I truly cannot wait!

BORN THIS WAY - SIMPLY PHENOMENAL!!!

Ironically enough, this is my groundbreaking 200th post of my new blog, BLADE 7184, and what better way to celebrate an achievement than writing about a phenomenal song.

If there is a better way to describe this track I would.  I felt a little reserved, because of the somewhat mediocre song that Britney Spears released, but this cries a true artist through and through.  I have never heard anything close to this creation.  It's upbeat, somewhat techno, somewhat club kids, somewhat retro mixed in together; it's what Gaga truly presents herself to be, an original.

The Lady writes and produces her own music and I can see why people are in such awe of her.  I have posted the vocals and the lyrics for your enjoyment.  She truly makes a Gay person, like myself, or any straight person for that matter, happy to be BORN THIS WAY.  Love it, I do.

Listen to the premiere of Born This Way by Lady Gaga:

Movies In Lego

Nextmovie.com has released the Oscar nominated movies in Full Lego and here's a small preview.

Black Swan is actually my favorite one, with Inception coming in at a close second.

I grew up with Legos; I actually spent countless hours playing and building structures with these inter-locking pieces.  My mom was definitely content with her peace and quiet.  Feel free to go to Nextmovie.com and check out the rest. Some of them are quite neat.

The Onion News Update: Annual Valentine's Day Stoning Of Happy Couple Held

This is too hilarious for words. I'm sorry, but for those of you who think these segments are real, get a life. They are a joke, provided by The Onion.

Today Now's Jim Haggerty attends the annual Valentine's Day stoning, which brings comfort and joy to singles everywhere.

Kiss of the Week - Issue No. 94 - Peter Flores (Blade 7184)

When I started my "Kiss of the Week" series in 2007, I never thought I would get as far as I did with it.  At the beginning I was only posting photos of two hot guys kissing, but then I thought I would incorporate a "Quote of the Day" with it - and the rest is history.

Over the next few months I will be posting new KOW posts and revisit some of the old ones.

Today's issue is one of my very own quotes.

I had flowers delivered to Ryan yesterday and actually wrote these words on the card to him.

"It's not Valentine's Day, but I don't need a holiday to let you know how much I love you.  You're not only everything I dreamed you would be, you're the blessing God told me I would receive when I got older."

Craigslist Republicans, Gay Republicans; What's Next?

 "I have to work this out with my wife." —Craigslist Congressman Christopher Lee, to Fox News.

Why is it that so many Republican congressmen or senators are outed more often than not, IE. Mark Foley, Larry Craig and countless others?  There's even the possibility that Lindsey Graham will be outed soon, as well But it isn't so much that they are outed, but moreso the fact, they push for legislation banning gays from having rights, they promulgate their agenda of hatred and fool their constituents into believing they are God-fearing men.

YOU'RE GAY! GET OVER IT!

They are so deep-rooted in their religious beliefs that they think they can fool everyone.  Well they fool the religious-right and conservatives alike.

I know that I've gone off subject, but I find it completely laughable that these men would rather humiliate themselves while in office, than be open about who they are from the beginning. And 99 percent of the time, these men are married with children.

Congressman Lee wasn't gay, but finding himself plastered all over the Craigslist Personals site half-naked wasn't a smart move either.

Justin Bieber sings Born This Way by Lady Gaga

What do you do when Britney Spears is on your ass, releasing these 2 second teasers everyday until her music video (forgot the name of it) premiere?

Release your lyrics to "Born This Way" to the whole world so that everyone can make their own covers; they sound somewhat decent.  But that is exactly what Lady Gaga did.  Everyone is up in arms about her release tomorrow, including my partner, Ryan.  I'm just sort of blah about it until I hear the song.  If Britney couldn't impress me, I'll wait to see what Gaga can do.

Well... in order to tease America and the world even more, Ellen incorporates James Blunt and Justin Bieber to perform their own versions Gaga's, "Born This Way" on national television.  Their covers, including Ellen's very own rendition are in the video below, enjoy.

Facebook's Farmville, Café World, Mafia Wars - Are They To Blame For Their Deaths?

You know what I find quite interesting? I don't see many people on Farmville or the Mafia Wars games anymore.  Do you still have it coming up on your end?  Sorry, I don't mean to ridicule those who play these addictive games, but after reading the story I'm about to share with you, I could care even less about them.


Has anyone ever heard of Bejeweled?  Well, in one week, two mothers murdered their children over games like these.  On the first one, the mother let her 14 month old baby drown in the bathtub while she played Café World.  Her reason? The baby wanted alone time.  Stupid bitch, babies don't need alone time. In the second one, the mother hit her baby in the head with her computer, thus killing her 9-14 week old infant, all because she was crying. How 'bout somebody poke this bitch's eyes out for playing on the computer instead of holding her child?

While I know that most people wouldn't do stupid shit like that, it boggles my mind how parents could be so careless.  It's like leaving your child in the back seat of your car, in 200 degree weather, because you forgot to drop her off at school not realizing she was in the back seat.  And it's not so much that Facebook or these games are too blame, but people get so addicted to them, that they tend to overlook what they're doing. What are your thoughts on this crazy story?

I Love My Best Friend For All That He Is, I Wouldn't Change A Thing...

In the nearly six years Ryan and I have been together, not one day has gone by where I've never said, "I Love You."  And if we had a disagreement or a difference of a opinion, we got over it rather quickly.  Arguments and/or fights are too far in between that we simply forget about them.  We have better things to do with our lives than to sit around bickering all day.

Quite honestly, we became "Best Friends," because that's how every relationship should be.  I believe wholeheartedly that if you cannot become best friends with your partner, your relationship will never work.  Friends you've made over the years through childhood, high school and/or college that you consider best friends, are there for you, love you and will support you as much as humanly possible; But in the end, the one you gave your heart to, should be your truest friend.

When you fall in love, and your partner becomes your "Best Friend," he or she should mean more to you than all your other friends combined.  If you truly love this person, no one, and I mean no one, can tear that apart.  He or she, in essence has become the most important person in your life; Your confidant, your soul mate and your partner.

Simply put, when you get into an argument or a disagreement about something, don't go running to your friends about it.  Take a moment to cool down, run to the bathroom, beat the walls, wish him/her dead, but do not run and tell your "other friends."   You need to talk to the man or woman you love, they are your Best Friend.  If you cannot do this without telling other people the problems you have with your partner, then you don't belong with him or her, and quite frankly, were never their Best Friend to begin with. You shouldn't be.

Today around 2:00 in the afternoon, Ryan received some flowers in a basket, a cute monkey holding a candy bar, and a balloon that said, "I Love You." And on the card I wrote,

"It's not Valentine's Day, but I don't need a holiday to let you know how much I love you.  You're not only everything I dreamed you would be, you're the blessing God told me I would receive when I got older."

I meant every word I wrote, and to this day I love him more than I ever could.  Life would be incomplete without him.  Ryan is my Best Friend and he means more to me than you will ever know.

A Tea Partier's Dream - Tea For Glee!

Actually, it's for both: The Tea Partiers and the extreme right conservatives, but that's besides the point.  Marc Cherry, a known Gay Republican, is out and about promoting his next creation, Hallelujah.  He says the new show will be a cross between Dallas and Touched By An Angel.  Really, Marc? You're telling me you're going to have an ultra-conservative JR (Larry Hagman) and a supreme liberal Bobby (Patrick Duffy) battling it out for the preacher's wife?  Oh wait, that's already been written. 

The creator of Desperate Housewives, Golden Girls and countless other sitcoms, says "he dreamed up a mysterious stranger who brings hope and, perhaps, miracles to these small town citizens in ways they initially won't understand. But fans of Housewives' cheekiness won't be disappointed. He promises to deliver characters with "delicious, juicy, dark secrets" involved in battles between good and evil.  There will be a "generous helping of gospel music," Cherry told TVGuide.com.  "I'm calling it Glee for conservative Republicans."

Seriously... I don't know what's worse, this or the Tea Party magazine hitting news stands this weekend. (I'll blog about that absurdity later.)  I can't wait to see what the Tea Partiers say about this show, should it see the light of day.

7 Year Old Boy Donates $140 To Gay Charities

"To teach the importance of improving the world around him, Malcolm was given $140 to give away to the charity of his choice. After hearing a story on the radio about the mistreatment of gays and lesbians, Malcolm became both upset and curious about the issue…to help, he chose to split his money between the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation."                                                        - Malcolm's Mom

The center is calling him their "Littlest Champion," and rightly so.  The young boy sent $140 to the charities of his choice, simply because he doesn't think it's fair that Gay people should be treated unequally.  It truly brings hope that someday there will be an end to all the bigotry, hatred and discrimination we face in the world today.  And even if you question whether he did this on his own or by his parents' sentiment, at least he's learning about Gay people at an early age.  Thank you, Malcolm - this has made my morning.

The Black Madonna

Hmmm, not sure how what to make of it.  I know it's Art, but is ironic that Madonna once considered naming one of her albums the "Black Madonna."

A loyal Madonna fan decided to imagine what the cover may have looked like.

Margaret Thatcher's Long Lost Twin Sister Appears!

Nearly 30 years ago in 1982, the start of the Falklands War was on every Brit's mind.  The Iron Lady was in control and no one could topple her.  She became best friends with Ronald Reagan, and thus began the hatred her country grew towards her.  She was to Britain what Ronald Reagan was to us; helped the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  Not to go off subject, but here long lost twin has been found.  Here she is,  >>>

and she hasn't aged one bit.  LOL, just kidding.

I swear, Meryl Streep as Thatcher is remarkable.  Filming for The Iron Lady started on January 31st, and this could very well be Streep's long overdue, third Oscar win. For the rest of the cast and what this movie is all about, you can go here and here.

Keith Olbermann to Gain Control of Current TV's Entire News Department

Keith Olbermann comes back with a bang.  Not only did he manage to come away with the launching of a new  prime-time show in late spring - he's going to be running the show.  I don't mean just his show, but the whole entire news department at CURRENT TV.

 

According to the Daily Beast,

"He can donate to any political candidates he wants. On a conference call with reporters, Gore said he considered such contributions to be part of his employees’ “freedom of speech,” and Olbermann said that “our obligation to the viewer is to disclose.”

Olbermannn says his new show will be a far better program than the one he had at MSNBC, “an improved and we hope amplified and stronger version of the show I just did.”

After reading a few news sources, they all indicated that MSNBC and Olbermann had agreed to not disparge each other for a limited time.  Olbermann says he will discuss the NBC debacle at a later date.  And something else I didn't know... CURRENT TV reaches only 60 million people, but that's slightly more households than MSNBC held when Olbermann debuted his show in 2003.  We can't forget that Olbermann turned MSNBC into what it is today.  And I have no doubt he will do the same for CURRENT TV.  Ryan and I will be sure to get on the bandwagon as soon as we possibly can.   Hell, I introduced Ryan into politics and Keith Olbermann.  Then when that woman, Rachel Madcow launched her own show (with Keith's help) he started watching her too.

Who Was That Caveman Looking Guy?

If you're asking who was the caveman-looking dude behind Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne Sunday night, that was none other, than Justin Bieber himself.  Yes, the Best Buy commercial which aired Sunday night featured Ozzy and Bieber pushing Best Buy's promise to buy back old technology when you purchase an upgrade.

They were dressed up in futuristic clothing, promoting 5G and 6G networks, neither of which are available today.  The premise was: that Best Buy is the "go to" place for all your electronic needs.

The punchline? Ozzy Ozbourne asking his wife Sharon, "What's a Bieber?"  and the scary guy coming up from behind, telling them, "I don't know, but he looks like a girl."

Both of which are based on actual events.  While Ozzy was being interviewed for a Latin program several weeks ago, he was asked a question on whether he listened to Justin Bieber, Ozzy responded by asking, "What's a Bieber?" LOL.

The latter being that he looks like a girl or a lesbian, both of which have gone viral over the internet, on radio and TV.

Watch the famous duo go at it...

Gay Ads That Matter - Issue No. 003

This is a powerful video and I believe that as adults, we need to be more active in the lives of our children and make more of an effort to allow our young people to be who they are. Our children reach out to us to teach and help them grow.  They need to be shown and told how much we love them no matter what their sexual orientation is.

As adults we need to act like one, and stop perpetuating hate, intolerance, and violence. When does it stop? It's no wonder why so many LBGT youth either run away, hurt themselves, or end their lives prematurely.

I wish to express my thanks for this video, and it's message.  It's time for the young people to hold their heads up high and say we won't be afraid any longer.

OMG Hilarious!

Cyanide & Happiness has really got me going this morning.  Today's most laughable comic is downright hilarious.

"Mommy, What Do You Call What They're Doing?"

You're about to cook dinner, throw in a DVD you just purchased for your children at Toys "R" Us, and head to the kitchen.  Little Bobby comes running into the kitchen and asks, "Mommy, what do you call what they're doing?"  Bewildered, you scream at the top of your lungs and are shocked by what you find.  A couple having sex on your 52" plasma with surround sound.  Laughable, right?

Well... not so much for Candice Connor of Queens, New York.  The story didn't happen exactly as I described, but close enough.  According to the Daily News, her "jaw dropped when she and her two young boys sat down to watch the cartoon about the animal-loving Nickelodeon character and saw a nude couple having sex."  Instead of getting the "Nickelodeon All-Star Sports Day," she got a graphic video titled "Bubble Butt Bonanza No. 17."

So instead of contacting the Toys "R" Us store, what does Candice do?  Hires a lawyer.  Really?  A Lawyer? As if the kids wouldn't stumble across mommy having sexy with her husband, or maybe even come across some porn on the internet. I'm tired of people with their frivolous lawsuits; just take the movie back to the store, demand a refund and have the store figure out what went wrong. Just sayin'.

What Movie Was Everyone Tweeting Superbowl Night?

Olbermann Returning as Quickly as He Left MSNBC

Slowly, but surely all news organizations will be abuzz about the return of Keith Olbermann to the political pundit scene.  In late breaking news Monday night, The New York Times is reporting that Olbermann will announce tomorrow that he will be joining Al Gore and company at Current TV. 

According to the Times, the domain name of TheOlbermannShow.com was registered two days before his on-air announcement that he was leaving MSNBC.

This could be more like the deal Oprah Winfrey and Discovery Communications struck for her new cable network, OWN.  How the show will premiere or air is unknown at this time, but I'm sure we will hear all about it tomorrow, and I will keep all you posted.

"All I Want Is To Look Good For This Girl"

What is this world coming to?  Soon, you will be hearing that the Bieb got his 42 year old manager pregnant, sound familiar?  We all know about Kick-Ass star Peter Johnson and his 43 yr old wife.
 
“Justin was talking to the stylist, asking her to take sexy pictures of him for his girlfriend. He was just being cute about it, joking around, but he definitely wanted to look good for this girl. He never said the name Selena, but we knew who it was.”

All this, according to the La Rag Mag.

You're Amazing Just The Way You Are and The Two Schools Who Told You So

So what do you do when you want to get a message across?

Take your jacket off in the middle of shopping mall, take everyone by surprise and perform a dance routine.

To throw their support against anti-bullying, that's exactly what 2 schools in Canada did.  They all sported pink t-shirts with the word, 'Acceptance' in large, bold letters with some script underneath it saying, "You're Amazing Just The Way You Are."  In reference to the Bruno Mars song, "Just The Way You Are," playing in the background.

Good job kiddos, I loved it.

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 2 - Turnin' Turbo Dashboard

Ahhh, it's time to reflect back on those good 'ol days of our childhood or teenage years and continue with my second issue of "Keeping it Old Skool."

I never owned one of these personally, but I remember playing with one at my friend's or cousin's homes, wishing I did.  I loved this toy; where else could I pretend I was driving, aside from making a car out of a cardboard box? 

The Turnin' Turbo Dashboard was every kids' dream.  It gave us an endless amount of time and it was so much fun, at least until Nintendo and Playstation came around. Of course, since there was only one in the house, we all had to share it, and that wasn't the fun part.

The toy was made and sold in 1983 by a Japanese company called Takara Tomy.  And we all know how much we love imported merchandise.

Fashion Icon, Georgio Armani is Gaga for Gaga: Always has been.

I wanted to share this article by Robin Givhan for the fans of Gaga.

'Armani, the unlikeliest designer to be jolted by Gaga juice, discovered her in the most mundane way: He saw her perform at the American Music Awards a little more than a year ago. “I was struck by her extraordinary talent for writing music and her mastery of her own voice,” the designer says. And he was enamored by how she’d “deliberately created a totally outlandish personality.”

Most celebrities come to Armani seeking salvation from their tasteless ways. But Gaga did not genuflect. She inspired the designer to craft a brilliant silver minidress with a lightning-bolt head ornament. He made a black leather bodysuit for her “Alejandro” video. He stocked a wardrobe trunk for her current tour. She even induced him to create a green spangled leotard with shoulders like Mickey Mouse ears. Armani was clearly intoxicated by Gaga. And that last look was the fashion equivalent of drunk dialing.

“No other artist would give me the opportunity to devise such original and way-out creations,” Armani explains. “Lady Gaga’s costumes are a pure creativity exercise that allows me to design spectacular, almost surreal pieces.”'

The Best Superbowl Ad of the Night

In my opinion, I think Chrysler did a phenomenal job with their 2 minute spot during the Superbowl last night.

There was a story behind the ad, indicating Detroit was once a place of the hard-working American man, and still is today.  It focused on several areas of Detroit that have touched peoples lives, places where the people of Detroit can call iconic.  And it was like a movie trailer, in the sense that it delivered it's main plot in the end.  Leaving you breathless and exhilarated; knowing that you live in a country so great as ours that can give you something nobody else can... hope.

Imported from Detroit: The Trailer

OMG Hilarious!

Today's daily laugh continues with another Cyanide and Happiness comic.  I believe this one's titled, "Mermaid."

No NFL Football This Fall... Wait Until 2012

Yes, you heard me.  Well... you read it; There may be no football until the 2012 season.  And its not because of the economy or the league going bankrupt; quite the opposite.  While people are barely making ends meet, the owners of each team want to get richer, and the players want to join them.  I was reading an article in the Huffington Post about a collective bargaining agreement that expires on March 3, and if there isn't a new one drawn up before then, the owners are considering locking out the players.  Which means... no games this fall season.  This hasn't happened since 1987.  Read more about it here.

Quite honestly, these people should be ashamed of themselves; owners and players both.  The players already make millions and the owners are already gazillionaires.  It's unfortunate that neither one can come up with a solution.  Make it to where there's a permanent salary cap, and re-evaluate after 50 years, LOL.  At least I'll be gone by then.

Movies to Watch: "Lord Have Mercy," Captain America

Yesterday I informed you of an upcoming trailer that would be airing during the Superbowl.  So, was it the hottest trailer of the night?  Do you really have to ask?  It was Captain America, and all of Chris Evan's hotness that outshined every other movie trailer.  Not even Thor could top this baby.

Last night, while watching the game with Ryan's family the trailer to Captain America comes on.  The scene where the supposedly, scrawny Chris Evans is transformed into the muscle god he actually is, takes me by surprise. It wasn't the game ending loss the Packers dealt the Steelers, it wasn't the crazy commercials that aired during the game.  No.  It was the mere sound of me screaming, these three words, "Lord have Mercy!"  A magical moment indeed. LOL

Check out the trailer below:
