Oh shiz!
Sounds like Kristen Stewart’s upcoming flick On The Road is ALREADY causing quite the stir amongst conservatives!
Her sexcapades on screen have really upset some critics, who think her role sets a horrible example for a younger Twilight audience.
One conservative critic, Dan Gainor said:
“The movie industry has a twisted affection for making raunchy films that use and abuse former child stars. In the film On The Road, Kristen Stewart engages in a threesome and masturbates two male characters according to reports. How will parents who took their daughters to see the Twilight movies explain this?”
But a film is just a film, right??? All in the name of art? Ha!
Not according to Gainor, who goes on to say:
“It is irresponsible of Stewart and manipulative of Hollywood bosses to deliberately try to destroy any sense of decency these actresses might have taught young people.”
We don’t know about you, but role model or not, it’s not really these actresses’ responsibility to teach your kids about decency, LOLz!
The right-wing columnist even cited how Disney has destroyed “any wholesome image” stars like Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan have had, and that KStew’s latest flick is no different.
Um...did he expect for them to stay 13 year old teenyboppers playing high schoolers and singing bubblegum pop forever?
Gainor concluded his argument by stating:
“All we've learned here is that parents should tell their children that the time when most in Hollywood are truly acting is when they are acting decently.”
What the what??? So if an actress (note: he didn’t even mention any male stars...) takes on a risqué role, that’s not REALLY considered acting?
Sounds a bit cray cray to us!

Absolutely beautiful!
With the LOVELY voice of Glee star Jane Lynch, this moving video chronicles President Obama's accomplishments in his fight for LGBT rights.
Way before he led the way to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, Obama believed in the LGBT community, and now he continues to fulfill his promise to fight for us.
His declaration of support for same-sex marriage was astounding, and we really believe he has what it takes to continue moving forward in the struggle to obtain equal rights for ALL!
Watch his touching video (above) and pass it along!!
Add one more hottie big name to an already impressive cast!!
Minka Kelly just signed on to become Jackie Onassis in The Butler and we think she’s a FABULOUS choice to play history’s most beloved First Lady!!
Minka is always struck us as fashion forward but she’s going to need to bring back gloves, hats, and oversized glasses for this one!
We're predicting this movie might be one of 2013's best!
Forest Whitaker is featured as the butler who works in the White House under eight different Presidents.
Th star-studded film also features Matty McC as JFK, John Cusack as "Tricky" Dick Nixon, Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan, and even Liam Neeson as Lyndon Johnson.
The Butler’s wife is played by Oprah Winfrey and Oh-Em-Gee are we excited to see our friend return to serious acting after a 15 year hiatus!!!
We really can't wait!!

First it was Joe Biden, then it was Barack Obama, but the government's support for same-sex marriage just keeps pouring out.
Now former Secretary of State Colin Powell has revealed on live television that he has "no problem with it."
When asked about the hot topic on CNN, Powell responded:
"As I’ve thought about gay marriage, I know a lot of friends who are individually gay but are in partnerships with loved ones, and they are as stable a family as my family is, and they raise children. And so I don’t see any reason not to say that they should be able to get married."
BOO YAH!
And this is coming from a guy who supported the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, so we KNOW the world's view of same-sex marriage, and the LGBT community in general, is progressing in a positive direction.
Check out Wolf Blitzer's interview (above) with the retired four-star general to hear the wonderful words come out of his mouth for yourself!
We can only hope more lawmakers and government officials at ALL levels are inspired to voice their support too. We seriously don't understand the big deal here. Marriage equality isn't (Read more...)
Americans are frustrated that Barack Obama has yet to make major improvements to our weak economy, but the country isn't convinced that Mitt Romney will be able to do any better.
A new poll has determined that the two presidential candidates are TIED with voters on the issue. Each has 47% of the country believing they can fix the economy, but Obama is leading the overall vote with 49% compared to Romney's 46%.
Very close race!
Although more people polled think the economy has gotten worse since Obama took office, 48% of people think Obama better understands their economic problems, compared to the 40% who think Romney does.
When asked which candidate is more likely to stand up for what they believe in, Obama crushed Romney with 51% to 38%.
He wasn't afraid to admit his position on same-sex marriage had "evolved," so it's understandable why Romney can't beat his opponent in that category.
Who do U think is the best bet for our economy?

Oooh! Some pulpy friction!
In an intriguing interview with Esquire, Bruce Willis vocalized his disdain for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney:
“Yeah, Romney. He's just such a disappointment, an embarrassment.”
Ouch!
Certainly Bruce isn’t the only Hollywood celeb who won’t check Mitt's box this November, but this is noteworthy because the huge action star was until recently an avid Republican supporter.
He continued his anti-Romney rant:
“Chin up, hair up. [Romney is] just one of those guys, one of those guys who says he's going to change everything. And he'll get in there, and they'll smile at him and introduce themselves: 'We're Congress, we make sure nothing changes.' He won't do it. He can't. Everybody wants to be Barack Obama. And what did he change?"
So he’s an embarrassment who wants to be just like Perezident Obama??
Yikes!! With friends like these, Romney doesn’t need enemies!

The times are a changing!
Two weeks after President Barack Obama announced his support of gay marriage, the NAACP has followed suit, and announced that their board of directors voted to endorse the civil right yesterday!
NAACP President & CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in a statement:
“Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law. The NAACP’s support for marriage equality is deeply rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and equal protection of all people."
And Chairman of the Board of Directors Roslyn M. Brock continued:
“The mission of the NAACP has always been to ensure the political, social and economic equality of all people. We have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law.”
Incredible!
And in response to the announcement, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Rea Carey said:
"We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the NAACP working together on the many issues that affect all of our lives. Whether it be fair access to education and jobs, an end to voter suppression and racial profiling, the right to love and be who we are free of discrimination -- these issues affect all of (Read more...)
YEAH! Gay marriage has gained a formidable supporter in the form of Judge Judy!
The Judge chatted with the Ladies of The View recently about family, marriage, and parenting.
AND she revealed her feelings on the hot-button marriage equality issue!
Watch the full interview (above) but cue to 2:15 to hear The Judge's stance on same-sex marriage.
Times they are a changing!!
At least that's what the popular opinion is!
Remember the guy Andrew Garfield played in The Social Network? He's causing all sorts of outrage right now!
Eduardo Saverin, a co-founder of Facebook, renounced his U.S. citizenship last fall and the government thinks it's to avoid paying taxes on the billion dollar fortune he accumulated as an American.
Since he owns about 4% of Mark Zuckerberg's company, his stock is estimated to be worth $3 billion to $4 billion as of today and he won't have to pay $600 million in capital gains tax in the future.
In response to what many consider a slap in the face of America, two senators have proposed a new bill that would slap him back with a mandatory 30% tax on future capital gains AND bar him from reentering the country.
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York told sources:
"This is a great American success story gone horribly wrong. Eduardo Saverin wants to defriend the United States of America just to avoid paying taxes. We aren't going to let him get away with it."
The young billionaire swears he didn't renounce his citizenship for any reason other than moving to (Read more...)
Their poor, poor family!
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is speaking out about his estranged wife’s struggles with depression and the tragic suicide that left him a widower and left their four children without a mother.
He confessed:
"A lot of times, I don’t know how she made it through the day... She was in a lot of agony for a lot of her life."
Mary Richardson Kennedy battled alcohol addiction for years and was arrested in 2010 for driving under the influence of prescription medication.
She sought professional treatment and received unconditional love and support from her family and friends but there was nothing they could ultimately do.
Robert added:
"I don’t think anybody who was around her didn't do everything that they could to try to help her."
Tragically, she was never able to chase away her demons.
Mary hanged herself on Wednesday. She was 52.
