Favorite new show?
Oh, the fundies are gonna FREAK
This should be fun!
Harry Potter fans, the rumors are true: Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay. J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall.After reading briefly from the final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," she took questions from audience members. She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds "true love."
"Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause. She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. "Falling in love can blind us to an extent," Rowling said of Dumbledore's feelings, adding that Dumbledore was "horribly, terribly let down." Dumbledore's love, she observed, was his "great tragedy."
"Oh, my god," Rowling concluded with a laugh, "the fan fiction."
Wow. Just, wow.

Lily Allen is to make her acting debut in a new spoof version of classic Jane Austen novel Pride And Prejudice.
Following in the footsteps of her father Keith and brother Alfie who are both actors, the pop singer will play the role of Lydia Bennet in Jane Austen Handheld. Comedian Russell Brand is to star alongside playing the role of her lover, George Wickham, BBC News reports.
Veteran Hollywood actress Carrie Fisher is set to play Lydia's mother Mrs Bennett, whilst Stephen Fry is to play Mr Bennett.
The roles of Mr Darcy and Lizzie Bennett have yet to be cast in the £2.5 million production which is due to start production early next year.

"Much easier for me, to stay at home with Richard and Judy"
*sigh*
Wowser. So as the second day in Paris whittles asunder I sit in a hotel room reeling from two full-on days of running with the French dogs through radio stations and bizarre TV appearances. Most notably however I must tell of my giddy excitement at the fact that we have in our pack's midst the legendary photographer Penny Smith. Pennie? Penny? I should know really. But what I do know is this woman shot the undisputed leading rock and roll photo EVER - Paul Simonon smashing his bass on the cover of London Calling.

Peter and Macca
Sir Paul: Like me being a bass player. Which now I'm very proud of, it's my role and I'm happy with it. But at first it was the loser role in the group. It's usually the fat guy who stands at the back. So I was a bit unhappy when I got that job, I wanted to be up front with the guitar. But I had such a crappy little guitar, a Rosetti Lucky 7, and it was cheap. My Dad was very against the never-never hire purchase, and was like, 'Pay your way, lad. Never be under an obligation to anyone.' Which was good advice. But the others - John's Auntie Mimi and George's Dad - didn't have that problem - so they would get their guitars. I had this crappy thing which was really just a piece of wood with a pick-up on it. It looked quite glamorous, but we took it over to Hamburg and I think someone smashed it - like early Pete Townshend. Fuck!
