Headline Of The Day

A report filed by TMZ has again fired up speculation that reality star and Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner is beginning gender reassignment. Jenner says, "I just never liked my trachea."

Quote Of The Day - Kobe Bryant

"Of course Magic is supportive of and loves his son.  Why should anyone be surprised? What I can't tolerate is a lack of tolerance." - NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, responding to yesterday's TMZ story about Magic Johnson's support for his gay son. TMZ ponders: "The strong implication -- tolerance is not just limited to parents and their kids, but to pro athletes whose teammates may soon come out of the closet. In case you aren't reading between the lines -- given Kobe's stature, his statement could have a huge impact on athletes coming out."

His Royal Penis

His Royal Highness Prince Harry engaged in a round of strip billiards in Las Vegas and TMZ's snoopster was there with a cell phone. I'm guessing the queen will not be not amused. A lot not. Butt shot at the link. Must...resist...crown jewels joke...

Paul Ryan Shirtless

TMZ has the photo scoop that will earn them umpteen jillion Google hits between now and November. Three years ago I posted the headline "Carrie Prejean Sex Tape" and that search item still leads the JMG monthly recap.

CNN mistakenly used the photo of a drag impersonator to illustrate a mention of Whitney Houston, prompting TMZ to report the error with the above headline.

GOProud's Tammy Bruce: Willow Palin Isn't A Homophobe Because Gay Men In WeHo Call Each Other "Faggot" Too

CORRECTION: The below quote is from GOProud board member Tammy Bruce, not their chairman Chris Barron as I first posted. This is first time I've seen Bruce speak on their behalf, hence my error.

TMZ went to GOProud for their opinion on homophobic language. That in itself is hilarious. At least TMZ put them in their place.

GOProud just told TMZ, "The slur used here is one you could hear on the streets of West Hollywood or Chelsea every day of the week. Apparently, it's only a homophobic slur when it comes from the daughter of a conservative female leader." We beg to differ. See here, here, here and here. The group adds, "Make no mistake; this is all about destroying Sarah Palin by any means necessary."

Yeah. We're gonna destroy Sarah Palin via her daughter's Facebook page. If only.

UPDATE: Tammy Bruce has posted this additional statement to GOProud's site.

“The angry misogynistic left and their accomplices in the main stream media have been unable to take down Governor Palin – no matter how hard they have tried. Unable to take her down directly they now have decided to try to hurt her by attacking the most important thing in her life – her family. Any person, gay or straight, who participates in this cheap political smear should be ashamed of themselves.”

I guess GOProud figured they better let their token female speak on this bit of "misogyny." Meanwhile their executive director Jimmy LaSalvia spoke on MSNBC today about outlawing abortion. No contradiction there, right?

Willow Palin: Homophobic On Facebook

Willow Palin's Facebook page erupted into a flame war on Sunday after one of her friends criticized Sarah Palin's Alaska, prompting Willow to fire back with a slew of homophobic slurs. TMZ reports:

Sarah Palin's 16-year-old daughter Willow used multiple homophobic slurs -- including the word f**got -- to attack a Facebook user who criticized her mom's new reality show .... TMZ has learned. During the premiere of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" Sunday night -- a boy named Tre who went to school with the Palin kids wrote a status update that read, "Sarah Palin's Alaska, is failing so hard right now."

The comment sparked an intense response from Willow -- who replied on the boy's wall, "Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I've seen pictures of, your disgusting ... My sister had a kid and is still hot." Willow followed up that comment with another that read, "Tre stfu. Your such a f**got." Bristol Palin also got in on the smacktalk -- writing a message to Tre saying, "You're running your mouth just to talk sh*t." Eventually, a message board war erupted -- and Bristol took aim at another person named Jon -- saying, "You'll be as successful as my baby daddy, And actually I do work my ass off. I've been a single mom for the last two years."

Aside from the revelation that Willow Palin apparently doesn't think twice about using homophobic slurs in public, the postings from both Bristol and Willow reveal a level of literacy proving those dim apples didn't fall far from the Refudiate Tree.

No Ladyfingers For NJ's Haters

I'm not saying it was all your phone calls yesterday (and I saw how many times you folks hit that link), but Carrie Prejean will not be appearing at tonight's New Jersey Family Policy Council's hate soiree. You'll get a giggle out of TMZ's headline: "Family Does Not Always Come First." Snork. What a shame, now they'll only have the Bush/Clinton impersonators.

UPDATE: Well, well. Still no word about Miss California Diddle Digits USA from her champion, Peter LaBarbera, who praised her moral Godly purity here, here, here, and here. He must be fingering out what to say.

Carrie Prejean Caught Pink-Handed

TMZ is slowly teasing out the details of Carrie Prejean's meeting with Miss USA lawyers, today telling us that when confronted with a playing of her sex tape, she initially hotly denied the quivering fingers on the screen were hers. And then the camera panned up to show her face.....

We have more info on Carrie Prejean's abrupt about-face during the settlement negotiations with Miss California USA lawyers -- when they showed her the X-Rated version of Home Alone ... starring Carrie herself. When the video started playing, Carrie's first reaction was "that's disgusting" ... and Carrie denied it was her. Then, the camera angle changed ... and panned up to her face. She was caught red-handed ... so to speak. Carrie was rendered speechless and immediately began talking with her lawyer. We're told it took about 15 seconds for Carrie to drop her $1 million dollar demand.

Meanwhile, not a peep from Carrie's cadre of Godly supporters, who are doubtlessly furiously taking her name off all their materials. Don't expect Miss Busy Fingers to speak at next year's Values Voters Summit. Over on Free Republic, some readers are saying the tape doesn't exist and that this is all payback from "filthy disease-ridden queers." Ho hum. But then there's this from the conservative site Idiocratic:

So – my fellow conservatives – Was defending Carrie Prejean worth it or did we prop her up on a pedestal a little too soon? Was it really a good idea to see her as our poster girl just because we salivated over a few sentences that she uttered at a beauty pageant? We should have known better using a beauty queen to try to get our message across. What were we thinking? And yes, I am sure that we can thank our good friends on the left for digging up these uncomplimentary images and video about Prejean. That’s what they do best. But if the allegations are true, then Prejean is a hypocrite and we all look like idiots. The point is, we can’t just go embracing every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there that says they are opposed to gay marriage. Maybe we should do a little of our own digging next time? Geez…

UPDATE: Tomorrow's "Defenders Of The Family" soiree in New Jersey should be quite the giggle-fest. Let's see if Miss Ladyfingers USA dares to show up. Maybe I'll call the below number and ask if they'll be screening Carrie's movie!
