QC’s Weekly BitchFest 2006!

QC BitchFest 2006
Welcome to QueerClicks WEEKLY edition called BitchFest 2006!! It appears so many of you have so much stuff you need to get off your chest with a sounding board. So here is your chance. Each week QC will give you a topic or theme and you can sound off about it all you want. We want to hear your gripes, complaints and sounding off about your life, but we do ask you follow these simple guidelines:
I. Stick to the Theme/Topic
II. DO NOT bash others for their sounding off.
III. Leave comments and bitches in the COMMENT SECTION.
Here is this weeks topic: The Proposed Minimum Wage Increase
I am still indifferent to the suggestion. I just heard a news report that said this increase based on COL (Cost Of Living) as compared to 1997 is in actuality only a 15 cent increase for the minimum wage worker.

Coming Out Is Cathartic, Encouraging For GLBT Youth ( Lance Bass & Reichen Lehmkuhl, Darren Hayes & Husband and Chad Allen)
lancensyn.JPG
Unless you have been living under a rock, you have been inundated with the news of Lance Bass of the boy band `N Sync sharing news of his relationship with Reichen Lehmkuhl, gay star of The Amazing Race. Many cuts and jabs have followed Bass since his decision to share, but I don‘t think it is as much about his timing as it is the fact that he made flippant remarks to the effect that he doesn‘t want to be a “poster child“ for the gay community. Lance, you are on PEOPLE’s cover for being GAY so does it need to be said that’s what got you the cover? This country is progressively taking steps forward and every step by any public figure or role model helps. GLBT teens throughout the world need more role models to encourage and celebrate their truth(s) and press overshadowing that with outcries that he misled people or denied his truth until now is simply foolish and does not help our youth feel safe with disclosure. The same can be said for his proclamation that he doesn’t want to march in parades. Being a gay-role model doesn’t consist of marching and holding signs as much as it consists of being real and not apologizing for the truth. Reichen recently did an interview on Access Hollywood and you can catch the video clip Here.

On July 17th, Darren Hayes, from Savage Garden fame announced:
(Via) DarrenHayes.com.
“On June 19th 2006 I married my boyfriend of two years, Richard, in a Civil Partnership ceremony in London. I can honestly say it was the happiest day of my life. I feel lucky to live in an era where my relationship can be considered legally legitimate and I commend the UK Government for embracing this very basic Civil Liberty. I’m proud of who I am, and after what felt like an eternity, I’m finally in a place where my heart is secure and content. And I can finally make sense of all of the searching.”
His statement says volumes about why each of us choose to share our lives with others. As with everyday life and friendships, people only know what we choose to share with them. We disclose parts of our lives with others when we feel secure.
chadause.jpg
Chad Allen, once-teen idol and co-star of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, has used his gay celebrity status to make change for diversity and is very philanthropic in changing the world for the GLBT community.
On July 23rd, Chad with Judy Shepard, the mother of slain gay student Matthew Shepard led Soulforce’s 1000 Watt March on Focus on the Family. The event was to protest Focus on the Family’s misuse of research to bash gays and their families. Chad spoke at a rally after the two-mile march from a local park. He invited people present from Focus on the Family to come down and meet the members of his family so they could see how normal they are. Chad and Judy presented representatives from Focus a photo album showing images of gay families who had participated in the march.
End of the Spear DVD Release Date Announced
“End of the Spear” is the remarkable journey of a savage Amazon tribesman who becomes family to the son of a North American man he kills. Mincayani (Louie Leonardo) is a Waodani warrior who leads the raid that kills Steve Saint’s father and four other missionaries. Through a suspenseful series of events Steve Saint (Chase Ellison) is able to visit Mincayani’s tribe. Steve tries to learn which warriors killed his father, but has to leave with his question unanswered. Steve returns to the Waodani as an adult (Chad Allen). Together Mincayani and Steve confront the true meaning of the life and death of Steve’s father, and the other men who were killed.
“End of the Spear” was released on DVD on June 13th!
With these kind of role models the winds of change are hopefully blowing and progress is happening. Everyday a step forward. Celebrities use your power…
Not A Role Model (George Michael Can’t Keep His Pants On)
georgeredone.jpg
Alright George, we got it, you don’t think cruising for anonymous sex in the park should keep you from being a gay-role model when you have had “25 years in the industry showing good-role modeling.” When busted recently at 3 A.M. his comment was, “Are you gay? No? Then f*** off! This is my culture!” Bust out the Gay Pride banners for our new mascot proclaiming it’s our culture to cruise for sex anonymously in parks. Is this guy stuck on an 80’s acid trip or what? I don’t know who I feel more sorry for, George with his sex addiction or his boyfriend that allows it… You just gotta have faith…
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (Bravo Has Not Renewed)
qeftsguse.jpg
According to a recent insider buzz, Bravo has yet and is unlikely to pick QEFTSG back up for 2007. Three years and Bravo seems to be sliding our famous Queer Eye’s out the door. Recent interview’s with actors from the show have backed up the evidence that they are all planning other avenues with their careers. Hopefully Bravo will throw the cast into make over heaven for a few more years. Time will tell.
Brazilian Super Stud Joins LOST (Let‘s Hope He Is A Gay Character)
rodigoqc.jpg
TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello has learned that Rodrigo Santoro will join the cast of LOST for the upcoming season. Ausiello writes, “Lost has found its new mystery man — and you’re reading about it here first! Rodrigo Santoro, best known to American audiences as the hot dude Laura Linney crushed on in Love Actually, is joining the cast this fall. I know what you’re thinking, “Rodrigo… Whatchoo Talkin’ ‘Bout Willis?” That was my initial reaction, too. Well, the 30-year-old actor may not be a household name here in the States, but there apparently is no bigger movie star in Brazil than him.” His part is listed simply as ‘mystery man’. LOST airs on ABC on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST. It will return in September for 6 episodes and then go on hiatus for 12 weeks before coming back for 17 straight episodes.
Rescue Me (FX‘s Anti-Gay)
QueerTube
FX’s series, Rescue Me , about the lives of firemen and their heroism, struggles and daily lives is a major hit. Trying to be ever so politically correct, Rescue Me has dealt with and currently joining the ranks of shows having GLBT issues as main plots. To catch up on last weeks rundown go HERE.
FX threw poor “Probie” for a loop this past week when he came home to tell his gay roomie that he in fact likes females. The gay-cheating roomie takes a drama slap and throws “Probie” out of the apartment until he decides he likes the cock. “Probie” giving him the puppy-dog eyes didn’t work, now you going to play for his team or sleep at the station? My guess is this is FX’s adios to gay characters. It is truly a shame too, because FX had something going there and maybe had they continued, they would find more than one award nomination for the show.
So You Think You Can Dance (aka OMG Travis Was In The Bottom Two!!)
Ok, in all honesty this show impresses me with the talent. These kids are incredible. I could easily understand any of the 10 finalist landing careers right off the tour. Sadly, this week, my fave Travis took a hit, but man did he ever bounce back… There is still hope young grasshopper!
sytycdqc.jpg
(Via) FOX SYTYCD Recap.
Good evening dancers, fans of Dance, parents of dancers, trainers, television junkies, heat wave victims, etc. Welcome to another spectacular episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Tonight, despite record-breaking heat across the country, 2 young dancers will be sent packing leaving only 6 left to fight it out for the grand prize.
We have a cool opening routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio in that Chicago musical style. It’s no undead zombie dance like last week, but pretty cool. Out host Cat Deeley trots out and lays out some info. Last night was another record-breaking night with nearly 10 million votes.
Let’s once again meet our amazing judges. Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy, and my dog, Dan Karaty, bring the noise!
First we see who the bottom dancers are. On the Cat chopping block first, Donyelle and Natalie. Natalie is in the bottom 2 and Donyelle is safe. I didn’t type it, but my thoughts exactly. Next up Allison and Heidi. I think it’s going to be Heidi and I’m wrong, she’s safe. This means Allison will be doing a solo.
Time to see about our dancing men. Benji and Ryan are up in front of Cat first. I really think Ryan is going to be the one doing a solo. Annndddd, right I am, Benji is safe and Ryan is soloing. Now it’s Ivan and Travis. My guess is we’ll see a solo from Travis based on that miserable quick-step. Correct again! Ivan safe, Travis solo.
Now even though we have a bottom 4 dancers the vote has already been decided. Before it gets announced we’ll see solo from each of the bottom 4 plus a special performance by Busta Rhymes.
Natalie – solo
Veins
Charlotte Martin
Natalie bursts forth doing her patented mega body flex aerobic explosion leaving her completely out of breath. All the judges give great compliments, but at this point it’s just air because the vote has already been decided
Ryan – solo
Just Fine
Chris Brown
Ryan comes out totally subdued as a sort of intro. After a 5 second stalk walk and a stare down out toward the audience he breaks out his slick contemporary moves coupled with a rhythmic hip-hop feel. The judges show him some love.
Allison – solo
Feeling Good
Michael Buble
This is a sexy side of Allison we haven’t really seen yet in a solo. Her hair is hanging in front of a very sultry look as she comes off the stairs. She pulls some amazing slinky moves coupled with amazing perfect flips. Dan Karaty calls her the most versatile dancer on the show.
Travis – solo
Gotta Get Through This (acoustic version)
Daniel Bedingfield
Travis doesn’t wait long to bust out the pirouettes, but does manage a few more tricks. Impressive solo as always. The judges all radically disagree with me saying Travis should not be in the bottom 2 this week.
Here’s the big time musical guest, Busta Rhymes! Busta traded in the top-of-the-head braid sprout for a simple black baseball cap. He’s definitely looking his age but still the same Busta minus a little of energy.
Now for the hard stuff. The ladies are up first. Cat dishes out the tough break, Allison is going home. You would think it was Natalie going home with all the tears she’s letting loose. Allison gets to a quick goodbye dance for her fans. Dancing to This Woman’s Work by Maxwell. She does some emotional charged flails and sweeping jumps all the while Natalie weeping in the background.
Now we see which of the boys is going home. Ryan is going home, not too much of a surprise. I half think he expected this. Here’s Ryan’s last dance to Chris Brown’s Ain’t No Way (But You Won’t Love Me). That’s the show people, see you next week with the final 6.
Big Brother All-Stars (BB6 vs. Chill Town)
bbheader.jpg
(Via) BB All-Stars Recap.
S-6 STRIKE AGAIN
Erika & Boogie on Block
As S-6 reign as HoH for yet another week, Chilltown take a hit with the nomination of Mike, and the floaters take stock as Erika joins Mike on the block.
janie1.jpg
BLONDE AMBITION
The HouseGuests reflect on Jase’s emotional departure. “I had high hopes of going far in the game with him,” Boogie sighs as he puts that plan in the trash. “Watching Jase walk out that door was heart-wrenching” Kaysar admits. “It was an ugly eviction.” Danielle sighs, “This is when you really hate the game.” Marcellas appears to be the only one happy that Jase is gone, justifying it with “he behaved badly!” Nobody in the house should be proud of their behavior, James reminds everyone.
After her HoH victory, Janey playfully brags, “What can I say? I dominate in this game.” Marcellas is also all smiles: “Janelle and I have a secret deal above and beyond what the four have,” so he sees her win as “fantastic!” Even Will admits Janey is “an excellent game-player,” although Diane is less glowing, complaining that S-6 are becoming “Nerd Herd Part 2.” Seeing Janelle in power again, Will is forced to admit that he made a mistake eliminating Howie from the HoH Competition instead of Janey. “In retrospect, I should have taken her out first,” he confides. Besides, there’s a hint of a little “somethin’-somethin'” between our Evil Doctor and the Bodacious Babe. According to Will, “Janelle has fallen madly, madly in love with me. Can you blame her?” Will brags about the “crush,” whereas Janey smiles coyly that it’s part of her strategy “to work Will over.” Janey enjoys playing the flirt game, “When I flirt with (WILL), he blushes and runs away” instead of having a snappy comeback for her. “I make the evil doctor nervous.”
Janey has pleaded for a pink HoH Room if she ever won HoH again. Well, pink is what she gets as her HoH Room appears to be a tribute to Barbie Dream House fantasies everywhere. Janey’s room is very pink: “spandex-tank-top” hot pink, to be exact. Boogie isn’t such a fan of the décor, mimicking Janey’s excited squeal with a sneering grin. But Janey loves the ambiance, sighing, “I feel like a princess.” Somewhat less impressed, Marcellas describes her room as an “abomination, a Pepto-Bismol nightmare.”
As the HouseGuests leave the HoH Room, the S-6 allies convene. “There’s two Chilltown, there’s four of us, there’s five floaters.” Janey does a count of votes in the house before James chimes in and gets down to business. “Boogie (has) to leave this week; he’s the biggest threat.” Kaysar suggests kicking out the “most dangerous floater,” Diane. James is frustrated with the S-6 focus, complaining in the Diary Room that his teammates are being “so stupid” for not putting up Will and Boogie. In the HoH Room, he snaps, “You guys do what you want to do. Next week, I will do what is I feel is best for me…. I don’t see why we are playing with fire for the fourth week in a row.”
PUPPET-MASTER
James still can’t fathom how Janelle can see Diane as such a threat, so he decides to go to the source herself and suss her out. James gently suggests to Diane that she “needs to do some damage control,” advising her to assure Janey that she would be safe if Diane wins HoH. Diane is amazed that James opened up to her this way.
Heeding his advice, Diane pays Janey a visit. “I am in here by myself,” she reminds the HoH, admitting that she really likes the S-6 people and doesn’t intend to target them. Janey replies that Chilltown told her a different story: that Diane was going to put Janelle up if she won HoH. Annoyed that Chilltown threw her “under the bus,” Diane asks Janey to trust her. “If I don’t nominate you, can that be a sign of trust?” Janey asks. “You show it to me, and I’ll show it to you.” Diane laughs. “I really think we’re going to be good friends outside the house too.”
bbredo.jpg
Ever on the lookout for a chance to stir the pot, Will heads to the HoH Room to take a bath. Admitting that he was simply trying to have “some face time with the people controlling the house,” Will soon has Janey, Howie, Boogie and Kaysar in the bathroom with him watching a rubber-ducky puppet show. In his puppet show, Will recounts a tale of deep and shallow ponds, with duckies named after the HouseGuests. During the “show,” Will proposes a new deal to nominate two floaters, guaranteeing that Will and Boogie don’t go up against the Veto. His plan is for S-6 and Chilltown to dominate the house eventually as the final six. After the bath-time show, Howie looks worried, frowning, “We’re making a deal with the devil.” Janelle also looks concerned as she mulls it over.
FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD FIGHT
Boogie is worried about how George already looks on his slop diet. “I think he’s starting to lose his mind.” George is trying to find new ways to serve the slop, toasting, frying, spicing it up; he even tries making “bread” from the goop. “Keep your chin up. That stuff looks great,” Will jibes as he indulges in some savory treats.
Later in the evening, Janey announces the Food Competition. The HouseGuests seem less than inspired, except for Diane, who looks forward to having something new to do at night. The competition is called “Food Fight.” “We thought we were playing dodge ball,” James smiles, wishing that were true so that he could “light some people up tonight.” But as Janey explains the rules, James is disappointed. The HouseGuests won’t be fighting with the food, but for the food. Everyone will take a position inside a padded ring. Balls will come raining down on the players, and whoever catches the lone “star ball” amidst all the other balls will win food privileges, and can also tag someone to be on slop for the following week.
Danielle feels outsized and outweighed by her male housemates as they are all “over 6 foot” and the girls are “little.” Will decides to test Howie’s loyalty and see if he is amenable to a food-protection deal. Howie agrees good-naturedly. Boogie spots and captures the first star ball, choosing Marcellas to be on slop for the week. Howie catches the next star ball, immediately reneges on his deal and puts Will on slop. Will is outraged at someone mimicking his devious double-dealing. “This is a game based on trust…this shows me I can’t trust Howie!” With the next star ball, Kaysar relegates George to the slop diet, and James puts Diane on slop with his star ball. Danielle captures the final ball, putting Erika on slop. Danielle doesn’t think Erika’s plight is so bad, reminding everyone, “Erika doesn’t eat that much anyway, so there’s no bid deal.” Marcellas weeps at having to be on slop again: “Why? Why?”
DOMESTIC DIVAS
Stepford Wives Janey and Diane are not, as these two domestic goddesses hit the kitchen. Diane admits she actually likes Janelle, but reminds herself, “Keep your friends close, but keep enemies closer.” Howie wants them to make banana bread, but figuring out the recipe is a little tougher than the girls thought. Howie smiles, “Can they cook? Absolutely! They both make great toast.”
Janey and Howie consult Chilltown in the backyard. Boogie suggests putting the final floaters on the block, and Will agrees, “We’re not coming after you, genius, we’ll be the final six.” Will snarls at Howie’s lack of trust in his plan. Will runs through a scenario of lying to all the floaters, suggesting that Janelle tell each they’re going up as a pawn. “You have to speak with actions here. Anyone can lie with words in this house,” he points out. Boogie backs his buddy up, saying, “we trust you.” But as soon as Janelle and Howie are out of earshot, Boogie grins, “You guys are gonna get played.”
Once upstairs, Janey asks Howie what he thinks. Howie is sage about his advice, saying they cannot trust the Chilltown boys. Janey brings in James to help with the strategy, not wanting to “make the dumbest move in history” as HoH. Janey admits she doesn’t trust the floaters, but when James suggests putting up Marcellas and Danielle as the two most threatening floaters, Janey is uncomfortable. Howie complains, “Chilltown sucks” just as Will walks in to say he is playing chess on the balcony. Howie sighs, “We’ll get rid of Chilltown. It’s going to be a war.” Later, Janey has a private chat with Will. He dismisses her decision-making powers, whining, “Whoever speaks to her last very well might be able to sway her opinion today.” Will tries to sway Janelle against James and Kaysar, saying they have side alliances, or “parachutes,” with Erika and Danielle. “Bring Boogie and I in as your allies, (and we) will swear protection,” Janelle appears to be swayed slightly by his earnest appeal. “As a sign of good faith, we will do as you want,” Will continues. “I am true to my word, and I will back you up unconditionally.” Janey asks cautiously, “What if you’re lying to me, Will?” “Then send me home,” he replies, smiling confidently.
BOOGIE AND THE BABE
Janelle contemplates the keys of her housemates. Diane admits that while she doesn’t expect to go up, she wouldn’t be shocked if she is nominated. Boogie is hoping that Janelle trusts Chilltown and that they can turn the game on its ear. Erika can’t think of any reasons why Janelle would nominate her, smiling, “I’m feeling pretty safe today.” Then Janey calls the Nomination Ceremony.
The first key revealed is James’, the next safe key is Marcellas’. Howie’s, Kaysar’s and Will’s keys follow. Danielle, Diane and George are next, with George looking amazed that he is safe this week. Boogie and Erika are left on the block.
Janelle admits to the room that she dislikes Boogie “very much” as he wants to go after her, and so she nominated him. Erika, she reassures her, is merely a pawn. Erika doesn’t see it this way, snarling, “The door has been opened, the gloves are off.” In the Diary Room, Janey admits she wants to stir up the house and see what happens. Boogie is prepared for the fight, swearing he is going “to play it to the end, baby.”
With Boogie on the block, Will and Boogie will be gunning for the PoV. Will Erika remain a pawn on the block, or will Janey change her mind and shift her focus from Chilltown to ridding the house of another floater? Don’t miss the next exciting episode of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS and find out who is saved from or sacrificed to the block, Tuesday, August 1, 8pm ET/PT, only on CBS.

The pop closet gets smaller

lance.jpg
Several reliable news sources are now reporting that Lance Bass of the pop group ‘n Sync has announced that he is gay and in a very stable relationship. The rumors really started to gain traction recently when Bass was seen at a gay bar in Provincetown, on Cape Cod in Massachusetts with model-actor-Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl. Lance’s website is ‘closed for construction’ at the moment.
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming….

Stadio dei Marmi

statue art masculine marble stadio sport
In the early 1930’s Benito Mussolini built the Foro Mussolini in Rome. The Stadio dei Marmi, or Stadium of Statues was crowned with 60 statues of the masculine form, both athletic and mythological. The statues, most in various states of undress, and some nude, survived the ravages of WWII. Often associated with their facist roots, these statues are a testament to an ideal man, a vision of perfection, and are supremely homoerotic.

CBS’s ATWT’s continued the story this week of Luke Grimaldi-Snyder. To catch up on what you missed last week go HERE. ATWT’s has now taken Luke from being a strong-gay teen to a pathetic-confused alcoholic. I won’t cover this again until ATWT’s grows their balls back Luke Snyder has a blog chronicling his journey HERE and CBS joined GLAAD to create a public service campaign of “Be an Ally and a Friend.”
Rescue Me (FX‘s Gay TEASER Show)

FX’s series, Rescue Me , about the lives of firemen and their heroism, struggles and daily lives is a major hit. To catch up on last weeks rundown go HERE.

FX here is my opinion of your writing this past week. Oops, I forgot your show was even on…Kind of like your writing…Come on Dennis, stop being a sissy and actually give us a GLBT character worthy of actual respect. I know you read this weekly, so throw us “Mo’s” a bone eh?
Catch some great clips and check out the HOT actors because right now that is all they have going HERE On Rescue Me, the fire is hardly the only HOT item. The Hot Video is HERE!
So You Think You Can Dance (aka Bare Chest and Stunning Good Looks Do Not Conquer)
Wow, this week’s show was packed full of dance, with each couple doing two dances and then a solo each it was 2 full hours of WHOA! Shows like Dancing With The Stars should really hide their heads in shame when looking at real talent such as this show. Watching these dancers change, adjust and conquer new dances, that by any standard are far from easy, just blows my mind. This week not only did they need to learn one, but 3. Did they do it? Hell yeah they did and kicked ass and took names!

RESULTS
After another week of SYTYCD, the voting had begun, decisions were made and upsets ensued. 1 gal and 1 stud would depart for their homes, as America has been cutting them left and right week after week. I have to give it to them, the opening group routine was awesome, with the dancers decked out like feature creatures from The Night Of The Living Dead, the 10 dancers struted to Roison Murphy’s Ramalama. It was rather like The Exorcism of Emily Rose twisted into Thriller and Blair Witch, quite interesting and good. The dancing came to a halt when Cat Deeley made her way onto the stage, and with her dynamic accent announced that SYTYCD had a new record with over 8 million votes.
The time had arrived for the cutting of flesh and dancers, and for a first, the girls were up. After many dramatic pauses Cat announced that Martha and Natalie were the bottom 2 gals. The stud cut was a shocker as Dmitry learned that a glistening-bare chest and a body too hot for primetime didn’t outweigh the fan(dumb) of Benji’s t’weens. Ryan was next to land beside Dmitry in the bottom 2. America had spoken.
Time for solo’s and dancing to save their spots:
Martha – solo
What Are You Waiting For?
Gwen Stefani
She seems beat down tonight.
Ryan – solo
Canned Heat
Jamiroquai
Very good job.
Natalie – solo
Lamentation
Liam Andreone
Wow, very impressive.
Dmitry – solo
Pump It
The Black Eyed Peas
Kept his shirt on, but good lord this boy can move. Is it enough to save him?
During the musical break Chris Brown performed with a crew, and they really put on a good show of moves and music. You could tell that he is a performer. He didn’t just robotically go through the motions like some musical talent that is highlighted on this show. After Cat Deeley did the typical PAUSES as required by any FOX show, we learned that Dmitry(Ouch!) and Martha would be going home, however the world of music and dance continues forward.
Catch the recap next week when you learn which of the 8 finalist are cut from the dance floor. My Fav is still in this and has a chance :

November 11-20, 2006: Galapagos Islands
Bring your family, in all its evolutionary glory, on our most adventurous vacation yet!
Itinerary – 10 Days
The moment you step foot on your first island here you’ll see that freedom and fearlessness are a way of life. Whether strolling the islands’ pristine beaches, searching for the spectacular waved albatross, having a “chat” with a particularly friendly sea lion, or snorkeling with Galapagos penguins, a glorious feeling of uninhibitedness abounds. And, thanks to the legacy of Jacques Cousteau, we are able to keep that feeling alive as we make wide use of our fleet of nimble Zodiacs that can nose into landfalls and cruise along reefs, which afford us intimate views of “the action.” Meanwhile, our expert naturalists are always there to point out particularly unusual wildlife behaviors and characteristics so that you may observe, inquire and react as it unfolds before your eyes. Their specialized knowledge and interests — marine biology, zoology, botany, and geology — will transform your experience into a biology class in real-time. Here in Darwin’s natural laboratory, the animal world is your oyster.
• Day 1 U.S./Guayaquil, Ecuador
• Day 2 Guayaquil/Galapagos/Embark Islander
• Days 3 – 8 Exploring the Galapagos Islands
• Day 9 Galapagos/Disembark/Quito
• Day 10 Quito/Home
DAY-BY-DAY ITINERARY
Day 1 – U.S./Guayaquil, Ecuador
Depart U.S. and arrive Guayaquil by late evening. We’ve found that Miami is a convenient gateway for most, but other air alternatives are available.If you choose to take the non-stop American Airlines group flight from Miami, we depart in the early evening with a flying time of approximately 4 hours. Upon arrival in Guayaquil, it’s a short drive to the Hotel Hilton Colón.
Day 2 – Guayaquil/Galapagos/Embark Islander
Fly from Guayaquil to Baltra in the Galapagos Islands, where you embark the M.S. Islander.
Days 3 – 8 – Exploring the Galapagos Islands
While our exact routing depends on the National Park Service, we may visit the following islands: Santa Cruz, Española, Floreana, Genovesa, Fernandina, Isabela, Bartolomé and Santiago. Here is a brief description of what each island offers. Santa Cruz: This epicenter of Galapagos administration is home to the National Park headquarters, as well as the Charles Darwin Research Station where we’ll learn about their vital preservation work. Wild giant tortoises forage in the highlands. Española: Blue-footed boobies and sea lions galore. Española marine iguanas and waved albatross (mid-April through mid-December) are exclusive to this island. Snorkel and stroll one of Galapagos’ best beaches. Floreana: Flamingos sometimes feed in the island’s large lagoon and colonies of sea lions and blue-footed boobies reside here. Snorkel with playful sea lions. Genovesa: Genovesa, a collapsed caldera, allows picture-perfect anchorage. It’s home to the Red-footed and Nazca Booby, a significant population of frigate birds; and it’s a great place to snorkel. Fernandina: Explore Punta Espinoza on Fernandina Island — the most pristine and youngest island in Galapagos — where marine iguanas warm themselves and sea lions bask by mangroves. Isabela: Visit the small town of Puerto Villamil and nearby saltwater lagoons, explore the island’s caves or simply stroll along a beautiful beach. Bartolomé: This is an enchanting landscape where lava, mangroves and beautiful golden sand converge. Great walks, views and a good chance to snorkel with penguins — a tropical oxymoron.

KYLE XY (Very Hot Bod)
kyle_xy.JPG
ABC FAMILY launched Kyle XY and it is a HUGE hit. WHOA!!! This past episode was loaded. This is truly a show for family. Kyle XY covers so many topics that open the lines of discussion for parents and children/teens. In this past episode they covered these topics:
1. Teenage Male Erections (how to hide them and why they happen)
2. Lying and Honesty
3. Condoms (safe sex)
4. Wet dreams
5. Teenage Alcohol Use
6. Loss of Virginity
Very intelligent yet absolutely HYSTERICAL. This cast and show are set for glory. It has been a long time since I have been this impressed with a family show. Not to mention Kyle (Matt Dallas) is just plain adorable.

Big Brother All-Stars (BB6 vs. Chill Town)

(Via) BB All-Stars Recap.
NAKOMIS GOES HOMIS
Evicted 8-2, James New HoH
As Nakomis bids farewell to her All-Star housemates, James takes up the HoH mantle. Having survived eviction by an 8-2 vote in her favor, Diane is revved up and ready to crush her adversaries at the first opportunity.
FALLOUT FUNK
The fallout from Erika’s withholding of the PoV includes snippy comments from more than just the nominees. Diane complains, “A lot of people in here don’t have spines,” while Nakomis is more candid: “I wanted to be the one to take home the money!” Will looks as if someone stole his blankie when he admits, “I thought I was going up. I’m so disappointed.” Howie tries to cheer him up with a kiss on the cheeks and a neck rub. “You’re getting back into good shape, buddy,” he smiles. Will’s expression turns to angst, “You are a weird, weird dude,” he sighs. “Thanks Doc,” Howie grins.
Nakomis indulges in some quiet time in her bedroom when Diane joins her. “I don’t like it whenever people cop out,” Nakomis sighs. “That’s the way the game goes,” Diane replies. “If you stay,” Diane adds, “I want you to take care of Janelle.” Nakomis appears to be over the whole scenario. Meanwhile out by the pool, Boogie, Danielle, Erika and Jase debate votes. Jase admits to his housemates that both have merits that warrant eviction, but sides on keeping Diane as she is less dangerous than Nakomis.

BATHING BEAUTIES
Bath buddies Janey and Marcellas discuss strategy amidst their bubbles. Janey admits she doesn’t care which nominee goes as they are both gunning for her. Marcellas agrees, but reassures Janelle that he has her back. Besides, he sighs, “I do not want to be stuck in this (house) with those guys.” In the Diary Room, Marcellas admits he wants to take Janey to the end. “That would be the most glamorous Final Two in the history of the world. Oh my god, that would be so aesthetically pleasing!” he cheers.
While Diane kicks back with Chilltown, Nakomis hits up S-6 with a deal for her survival. “Right now, I’m in a good place to help y’all out,” Nakomis tells Kaysar, who listens while James glowers. James does not look happy. “The S-6 people think I want to get rid of Chilltown,” Nakomis smiles, thinking she has won over Kaysar. Back outside, Diane is admitting demurely that if the Chill-boys want to keep her, she would really love to stay, and sighs deeply in the empathetic silence that follows her revelation. As each nominee works her last-minute attempt at a stay of execution, America has to wonder what the two powerful alliances will do. Will S-6 stick to this last-minute agreement with Nakomis, or is it now every HouseGuest for him or herself?
Host Julie Chen asks the assembled HouseGuests about this last tumultuous week in the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS house. There are laughs and uncomfortable silences as they discuss diets and the future work that Howie is planning on getting from Dr. Will.
ALLAH-STAR
Kaysar is on a crusade to “paint a different picture” of “who people from (his) background are.” Known for his quiet but deadly game-play, Kaysar is proving to America that he’s more than just the “Muslim Brad Pitt on the show.” We head to the Ridha home, where his sister Dalia admits to the family’s pride in their guy. “Kaysar was the first Muslim to be on a reality show like this,” she smiles, adding that she believes her brother’s faith brings him strength and focus in the game. The only drawbacks Dalia sees to life in the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS house are the bountiful bikinis and cocktail celebrations, but she knows her brother will stay true. Erika isn’t the only one who is falling for Kaysar’s charms, as Marcellas admits, “I am falling in love with Kaysar!” His home supporters have faith in their guy to make it to the end and “show the world who we really are.”
Julie and Kaysar have a private chat about his week as HoH. Kaysar isn’t worried about being considered a “wimp” for his controversial strategy of nominating floaters Diane and Nakomis this week instead of Chilltown. He assures Julie that the S-6 friendship, and alliance, is alive and well and the game is going according to plan.

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
Rumors of the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” partnership between Jase and Diane run rampant in the house. Danielle takes her theory to her housemates, pointing out the unlikely “coincidences” in their game-play. Stirring the pot as only she can, Danielle convinces Janey the rumor is legit. In honor of Jase’s obsession with Brad Pitt, Danielle dubs it the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith Alliance.” Still denying it to anyone who will listen, Jase pays a visit to his “secret ally,” Diane. So, does this mean that Jase and Diane have an alliance, or not? Jase and Diane aren’t telling, and so we are left guessing.
COOL BEANS AND BUH-BYE
As the time for the vote arrives, Julie pulls out the envelope containing the name of the evictee. Julie reveals the unlucky player: “Nakomis, by a vote of 8-2, you have been evicted.” Diane is visibly relieved as Nakomis bows her head, accepting her fate. After quick hugs good-bye and a chorus of “Cool Beans, Nakomis,” the evictee heads out the door to rendezvous with Julie. Diane sheds a few tears as Will and Marcellas congratulate her survival this week. Jase stays in his seat, staring at the ceiling, keeping his distance from “Mrs. Smith” as the HouseGuests settle back into normal life.
“You seemed blindsided by your nomination. What happened?“ Julie asks as Nakomis takes a seat next to her. Nakomis smiles, explaining she was seen as too strong a competitor. Did she mean to play under the radar? Nakomis sighs that she never meant to, but found it the easiest way to survive with the other “big personalities” in the house. She also thinks it was a “horrible mistake” that Kaysar didn’t put Will or Boogie on the block this week. Julie wishes Nakomis luck before turning her attention back to the HouseGuests.
DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
With nary a tear left in their eyes, the All-Stars head outside for the next HoH Competition, entitled “Pay Attention.” First, the Houseguests have to watch the TV screen as images of the first four HoH Competitions this summer are broadcast. They are told to pay as close attention to everything they see, as they will need it for the competition. Once the video is finished, Julie asks them to move outside for the next stage. Each HouseGuest, except departing HoH Kaysar, takes a place in individual stalls, and Julie explains the rules. A series of questions will be asked and the HouseGuests have to choose either A or B as their answer. If they answer incorrectly, they are eliminated. The last remaining HouseGuest will be crowned the new HoH. As the questions start, the first eliminated are George and Howie. Will is next, and then Jase, Mike, Diane and Erika. Within a matter of minutes, Janelle is out. James and Danielle face off in a tense tie-breaker. James scores and is crowned the new HoH.
Ripples of shock and tension spread throughout the house as S-6 retains the mantle of power. Will James take the reins and crush the Chilltown alliance? Or will he act on his own and turn the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS game on its head? Don’t miss the next episode of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, Sunday, July 23, 8pm ET/PT, only on CBS.

Where The Hell Is Matt?


Matt Harding’s original dancing video took the Internet by storm in 2005, garnering millions of views from around the world. Never one to rest on his laurels, he has returned with a sequel that easily surpasses the simple genius of the original.
Matt quit his job to dance around the world. Stride Gum was smart to support Matt’s bold move sent him on a second trip as part of a viral marketing effort. Check out all the places he traveled to this time around.
The 29-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he’d saved to wander around the planet until it ran out. He made a website so he could keep his family and friends updated about where he is.
A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt the idea of dancing everywhere he went and recording it on his camera. This turned out to be a very good idea. Now Matt is quasi-famous as “That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I’ll send you the link. It’s funny.”
His First Video

The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention of the nice people at Stride long-lasting gum. They asked Matt if he’d be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they’d be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.
At the start of 2006, Matt left on a 6 month trip through 39 countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great deal.
Matt dances very badly, but most people don’t seem to mind. His video is funny yet strangely unifying. Contrary to what most thought, Matt is not independently wealthy. He doesn’t have some magical secret for traveling cheaply and travels pretty pretty much the same way everybody else does.
