Possible Correction: There May Be Another Gay Guy

Do any of you read DListed (the few readers that I have)? If you do, you may have seen a small post about Jessie from Big Brother 10.

Is Big Brother's Jessie A Major Homo? Some of the smaller pictures may be NSFW.

After reading this, I thought, it all makes sense. Why else would he be a body builder? Since he's hiding it, he just might feel ashamed and thought, hey, if i'm a big tough strong guy, no one would think otherwise. Now, I'm not saying he should ome out on national television. I'm also not saying that he is gay, just that, if he is, it would make sense, and would be an awesome twist.

Real World: Las Vegas: There wasn't a gay cast members, but apparently a couple of them had a threesome. That's the most interesting thing that happened.

Real World: Paris: One gay member and some other interesting people.

Simon Sherry-Wood, a native of Ireland, Simon lives at home and goes to high school in a small village about an hour outside Dublin. His family's acceptance of his homosexuality has allowed Simon to live an open life, and he has enjoyed the gay scene in Dublin since he was 16. Simon met his Spanish boyfriend on New Year's Eve, a few weeks before moving to Paris. Aware of the temptations of Paris nightlife, Simon plans to stay faithful. A working model with a flair for fashion, he intends to go to college, but has yet to apply to schools because he's unsure about his career goals.

Leah Gillingwater is single and a graduate of the University of Maryland, who aspires to a career in fashion, and enjoys partying, shopping and expensive name brands. She is often the center of attention. Known to be pugnacious, she ends up in fights with most of her roommates. Leah has a cancer scare though, which brings her close to Mallory and the rest of her roommates.

Real World: San Diego: There were no gay cast members this season, but there was some controversy. The cast's residence is a custom-designed, two-story house at 4922 North Harbor Drive in San Diego.

Frankie Abernathy is a certified masseuse and aspiring artist with a number of piercings, and a fondness for punk rock music and Hello Kitty. She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She is a student of spiritual healing who paid for her education by working in a porn shop. Frankie has a phobia of boats, which made the group assignment difficult for her. She leaves the house early, due to conflict with her housemates, and homesickness. Abernathy lost her battle with cystic fibrosis on June 9, 2007 at the age of 25.

A 22-year-old woman claimed she was raped in the Real World house sometime during the night of November 14, 2003 by an acquaintance of Real World cast member Randy Barry, identified in local reports as "Justin", who was staying at the house as a guest.

Real World: Philadelphia: The Philadelphia season is the first with two openly gay men, Karamo Brown and William Hernandez, in the cast. (The first season to have two gay cast members, regardless of sex, was the 2002 Chicago season, although the 1999 Hawaii season featured a bisexual woman and a gay man.) This was the first season to feature an openly gay black male.

Born November 2, 1980, Karamo is an African-American gay man from Houston, who donates much of his time to charities and political causes, which he says are his passion. He is very close to his mother and three older sisters. His upbringing included strong anti-white prejudices and has related feelings about interracial dating. He attended Florida A&M University, where he majored in Business Administration.

Born November 20, 1979, Willie is a gay Puerto Rican American writer/actor with a passion for the arts and performing who works part-time as a personal shopper. His religious parents don't accept his lifestyle, which drove him from home when he was 15. He and his straight twin brother are the oldest of six children who all remain close. He admits to being stubborn and confrontational. As a child, he worked in commercials and musical theater and was a regular on the children's television show Ghostwriter (side note: I LOVED that show!), which promoted literacy for children.

Real World: Austin: The Real World: Austin won "Favorite Season" at the 2008 The Real World Awards Bash.

Real World: Key West: The season was filmed during the busiest Atlantic hurricane season ever; filming was scheduled to start the week Hurricane Katrina made landfall but was delayed as several castmembers were stuck in Miami. Later in the season Hurricanes Rita and Wilma made landfall forcing the cast to evacuate to West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, respectively. During Hurricane Wilma, the cast was forced to evacuate again, this time to Orlando after the Ft. Lauderdale-area hotel they sought shelter in was damaged by the storm.

Tyler Duckworth, a gay gymnastics and figure skating enthusiast describes himself as "manipulative" and "mischievous". He was at one time on track to becoming a world-class swimming champion. He was devastated when a freak accident shattered his Olympic dreams. Although doctors told him he might never walk again, he proved them wrong. A recent graduate of Tufts University, he must decide what to do with his life.

Real World: Denver: The Denver cast worked for Outward Bound. They were trained on wilderness courses and later guided New Orleans teenagers displaced by Hurricane Katrina in hiking treks.

Born August 10, 1983, Davis Mallory as a typical blonde-haired, blue-eyed frat boy. Davis is a southern conservative Christian, and gay, something he first realized in the sixth grade, though his family was not pleased with his coming out. Being on The Real World represents a major change in his life, as he has long been afraid to show his true self to the world.

Born December 30, 1983, Stephen Nichols is a deeply religious African-American, conservative Republican student at Howard University. He is very ambitious, and outspoken in his views, including his stance against gay marriage.

Real World: Sydney: Cast members were first photographed and identified by the media while participating in a Contiki tour at the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park.

Nothing else was really interesting. No gay members.

Real World: Hollywood: MTV aired The Sunny Side of Truth encore special, which features pop-up comments from characters from the Sunny Side of Truth, an anti-tobacco organization. Because a recurring theme of this season involves cast members talking about their struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, the comments often have a drug-abstinence message.




And does anyone remember that game, Heads Down Seven Up? I find it hilarious that the houseguests on Big Brother play that fairly often. They also play porno password and some other clapping, rhythm game. Oh, and chess. Yea, they get bored a lot. They also had a slip 'n slide at one point.

My Mother's Newest Obsession

So, my mom has recently become obsessed with Big Brother ... and she is slowly dragging me down with her. She's subscribed to the live feed, and the past two nights, has talked me into watching Big Brother After Hours on Showtime. Well, last night was well worth it.

Occasionally the house guests do something seriously funny, and last night, while locked in the house (more on that later) they decided to do their own talk show.

It was hilarious. Some of the house guests were their usual selves. Renny did the Charleston and kinda over did and Jerry was his annoying self, but there a few guests who were HILARIOUS.

So, to catch you all up, for those of you who hate reality television, or who have never watched BB. BB is kind of like MTV's Real World, but not. There are 13 people living in one house, completely isolated from the rest of the world, and big brother is always watching. If anyone does something they are not supposed to do, "big brother" comes over the intercom and lets them know it.

BB is also a competition. Whoever is the last to leave the house wins. The first house guest has already been evicted, Brian, and everyone is glad to have him gone.

Now on to the hilariousness of the BB Late Night. As I mentioned, the house guests were locked into the house, because there was a band nearby playing music (since songs are copyrighted, and BB can't get the rights to ever song the guest might decided to sing, they get yelled at for singing, although, Steven got away with it once, only because no one realized he was singing a real song). They all got cabin fever and well, just watch and see what happened.

PART TWO


Oh, and Angie, is HOTT.


That is all.

Witchy Wednesday

How many of you knew right away that Willow and Tara were going to end up together?
Willow and Tara

How many of you rejoiced when the two of them were finally shown kissing after Buffy's mother died?

kiss

How many of you were pissed and/or cried when shots rang out and Tara was gone?

Tara R.I.P.

I raised my hand for every single one of those questions.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the first shows I was ever obsessed with, and boy was I obsessed. My walls were covered in pictures from magazines, posters, and postcards. My bookshelf was filled with every single BtVS book there was (even now I am not missing many). I had the VHS box sets, I videotaped episodes so I could watch them over and over again. I pre-ordered the first season on DVD and bought all but one of the seasons as soon as it came out (my parents bought one for Christmas). I have three soundtracks, I have the original (kinda crappy) movie. I have some of the old comic books (and would still kill for the new ones).

BtVS was the first show in which I saw a happy lesbian couple, close to my age, that I could actually relate to. Neither Willow nor Tara were the prettiest or the most popular. Willow was a geek and Tara just seemed shy, kind of an outcast, even within the affectionately named "Scooby Gang", Tara was kind of an outcast until after Buffy died.

Tara and Willow were meant for each other though, no doubt about it. I mean, Willow went all dark and veiny after Tara was shot.

willow dark

Even when the two of them broke up, due to Willow's excessive magic us and erasing Tara's memory (as well as everyone else's, have to admit, HILARIOUS episode), they got back together.

Tara: Things fall apart. They fall apart so hard.
Willow: Tara?
Tara: You can't ever put 'em back the way they were.
Willow: Are you okay?
Tara: I'm sorry, it's just... You know, it takes time. You can't just have coffee and expect...
Willow: I know.
Tara: There's just so much to work through. Trust has to be built again on both sides. You have to learn if - if we're even the same people we were. If you can fit in each others lives. It's a long and important process, and can we just skip it? C-Can you just be kissing me now?

kuss

These two showed that a relationship, even a lesbian couple, can survive the ups and downs (not counting the last down). Yes, they were fictional characters created by the genius that is Joss Whedon, but they had real problems and went through real-life situations. They showed me that love can really happen, that souls mates just may actually exist.

Willow and Tara restored my faith in the power of love.

I Promise It Won't Last Forever

So, as I'm sure everyone has figured out, I am obsessed with Grey's Anatomy. It all started out after reading an article about the Erica Hahn/Callie kiss that happened in the final two episodes of season four. I then went back to season one and started watching all the episodes. I am currently watching the second half of season three. I have now decided, hopefully for something that will help stop this obsession, to post a running list of some of my favorite lines from the show.

Cristina: [about Alex] If I stuck this fork into his thigh, would I get in trouble?
Meredith: Not if you make it look like an accident.
- If Tomorrow Never Comes (#1.6)

Dr. Addison Shepherd: Goodmorning... Richard, I like the hat.
Dr. Derek Shepherd: Satan speaks.
Dr. Addison Shepherd: Actually I prefer to be called 'Ruler of All That is Evil', but I WILL answer to Satan...
- Make Me Lose Control (#2.3)

{Watching a pornographic video]
Cristina: That does NOT look comfortable.
Meredith: Trust me, it's not.

Meredith: So pick me. Choose me. Love me.
- Bring the Pain (#2.5)

Meredith: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Izzie: What are you doing?
Meredith: I am trying to insert my banana bag, which sounds vaguely dirty, but it isn't.
- Band-Aid Covers the Bullet Hole (#2.20)

Addison: Did you hear about the slutty sex your slutty friend had with my super slutty husband?

Addison: I am desirable Amanda.
Bailey: Miranda.
Addison: Right.
- I Am a Tree (#3.2)

George: Ok, let's get you prepped and ready-Dr. Shepard. Dr. Finn.
Meredith: Now all my boys are here. You're all so handsome... and such good kissers.
George: Oh... God...
Finn: Excuse me?
George: She's on drugs.
Meredith: He's an excellent kisser.
Finn: You two dated?
McDreamy: You didn't know?
Meredith: It wasn't a date so much as a... disastrously... uncomfortable... sexual experience.
- What I Am (#3.4)

Izzie: Dude, she (Callie) went all cage fighter on you!
Meredith: I know!
- From a Whisper to a Scream (#3.9)

Callie: We're working, George. I'm your boss, alright?
George: Yes, a very sexy one.
- Walk on Water (#3.15)

Addison: I am being stalked by pregnant women.
Callie: You're an obstetrician.
- Testing 1-2-3 (#3.24)

Meredith (repeatedly): Seriously?

Callie: Did anyone ever think you two were a couple?
Meredith: No, because we screw boys like whores on tequila.
Cristina: Then we either try to marry them or drown ourselves.
Callie: Huh.

Grey's Obsession

So, I've recently become obsessed with Grey's Anatomy, the show, fanfic, and fanvids, basically anything revolving around Grey's.

I recently read some Grey's fanfic wih a couple different couplings and here are some videos dedicated to them (none of the videos belong to me):

The real couple, Callie and Erica, otherwise known as Callica
Quick note on Callica videos, while Kate Perry's song, "I Kissed a Girl" may seem like a good choice, if you actually listen to the lyrics, its about kissing a girl, while drunk, to make a boyfriend jealous. A better song would be Jill Sobule's "I Kissed a Girl." The lyrics fit a little bit better


Callie and Addison, or Caddy


Addison and Izzie


I just liked this video because of the song and how the clips were put together:
