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 - - - - - - - - - - -

The Iron Lady Takes Home Oscar #3 - Complete List of Winners!

Meryl Streep's first and most recent Oscar win for Best Actress
Kramer vs Kramer & The Iron Lady
Here are the 2012 Oscar Results from the 84th Annual Academy Awards last night!  If you were like Ryan and myself, we didn't watch it.  We had more important things to watch, like The Walking Dead and Shameless, LOL.  

Actually, we didn't think highly of any of the Oscar nominations this year except for one.  I have provided a list down below courtesy of BBC.  After reviewing the winners, it looks like the 3D adventure drama, Hugo, took home the most awards last night, but the night belonged to one special lady, an Iron Lady.   

Meryl Streep won her third most-deserved Oscar for her portrayal of the former Primer Minister of England, Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.  A big shout-out for her, she is one of my favorite actresses, alongside Glenn Close and Sally Field.

A Real Princess Will Show You How It's Done...

While Adele was winning her 6 Grammys in the U.S., Meryl Streep was accepting her BAFTA award for Best Actress for The Iron Lady over in Britain.  But that wasn't the news of the evening - it was the loss of her shoe on her way to accept the award that caused all the buzz.  Luckily for her she had Prince Charming, Colin Firth, there to help slip the shoe back on.  Check out these cute pics.

Quoted: David Furnish on Madonna Receiving a Golden Globe

I think it was a fluke. When this happens you have to question the integrity of the awards. Did Madonna get the Golden Globe because she attended the awards and agreed be a presenter? Can you sing Madonna’s song? Can you hum it? It’s a song nobody has heard, from a film few have seen. The award should have gone to Mary J. Blige or Elton. I like Madonna’s music, but not her movies. She should stick to what she is good at.

Must Watch: Sue Sylvester Visits 1960's Mad Men

How many of you saw the Primetime Emmy Awards this past Sunday?  That's okay, neither did I. But I was able to catch a glimpse of the Emmy opening on Lawrence O'Donnell last night.  Thanks to my partner, Ryan who told me about it.

Is is absolutely hilarious.  There was a scene where Jayne Lynch (Sue Sylvester) from one of our favorite shows, Glee, walked on the set of Mad Men (another one of my favorite shows) and hits on Peggy Olson (played by Elisabeth Moss).

In the opening number, Leonard Nimoy from Star Trek fame tells Lynch that he is convinced she is the “logical choice” to host the Emmys this year, then warns her against letting the audience know that “we all live in this one building.

Ignoring the warning, Lynch races through the building dropping in on television shows...

When she drops in on the cast of Mad Men, she is asked to fetch some coffee.

You're hilarious,” she tells Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm). “I'm not a secretary. I'm the host of the Emmys.

The Emmys?Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) asks. “What you should be doing is learning how to type and firing the guy who gave you that man's haircut.”

Well, a lot has changed since 1965. In fact, women can marry other women,” Lynch responds. 

Turning to Peggy she adds with a wink and a smile: “Hey, Peggy.

Watch the video to see what else she says. LOL.

Quoted - Lady Gaga

“When I was told I won this award, Anna Wintour sent me a text message. She text messages. So she sent me a text message, and it said, 'We’re so excited to tell you you won the CFDA Fashion Icon Award.' And I actually thought it was Anna Treblin, who was one of my very close friends and [my stylist] Nicola’s assistant. So I have a couple Annas in my phone, so my reply was, 'Yes, bitch, we did it.' So quite quickly I got a reply that said, 'How lovely, and we will all be waiting to see what you will wear.' And then I thought, 'Well won’t you be helping me choose what I will wear?' And then I said, 'Oh! It’s Anna Wintour.'" – Lady Gaga, as she accepted her Fashion Icon Award at Monday's CFDA Fashion Awards.

I guess it didn't matter that the Lady called Anna Wintour a bitch, since she's probably used to people calling her that already. LOL. Just sayin' :-)

Yara, Yara, Yara

And the award for 'Creative Genius' goes to.... 

or is that 'Best Dressed?'

Courtesy of blogger, Michael K and RuPaul's Drag Race I bring you this hilarious dress review in regard to Ms. Sofia's ensemble at the New Now Next Awards in Hollywood last Thursday night.

So what's a down on her luck queen to do? Yara ran naked through her hotel lobby in search of the perfect outfit when she slipped on the floor, crashed into a black chiffon curtain (the cape), fell onto a table covered with white sequined coasters (the bikini) and stumbled over the balcony railing before smashing through a chandelier (the necklace) and landing head first on a plate full of carrots (the dreads) sitting on a table in the restaurant. Yara's hand was stuck in a silver bowl of black mashed caviar and after she used it to wipe away a little blood on her eye (the make-up), she turned around to find the entire restaurant gasping at her accidental glamour!
 
Only Yara Sofia can look like a He-Man villainess inspired by Carrot Top without even trying! BAM (wrong queen, I know).
