Bettye LaVette’s cabaret act is “too much of a good thing”. LaVette’s entry into the heights of cabaret – she says she dreamed as a young woman of taking over for Bobby Short at the Carlyle someday – is for sure a sight to be seen. I have only one problem with LaVette’s cabaret act – it’s too long by half.

Rihanna said it best when she sang, “we fell in love in a hopeless place.” At least that’s the way it seemed when Anthony and I met last weekend at that sex party. I knew something was there, because I normally work a sex party like a fat girl at a buffet. I like to try a little bit of everything, and I’m not too shy to go back for seconds on the good pieces. But this time was different.
Kirk Cameron, the washed up 1980′s child actor turn hate spewer, isn’t backing down from his statement that homosexuality is “unnatural,” “detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization.”
Gay rights supports including LGBT organizations, politicians and actors have slammed Cameron for his hate-filled comments. Kirk, however, hasn’t gotten this much attention since he played Mike Seaver on “Growing Pains”. For that reason, her continues to spread his hate and blame God for it. This time the attention hungry former kid actor even goes after those who support gay rights.
The Associated Press [via our sister site, queerplanet.net] printed a statement from Cameron over the weekend in which he says he tried to love everyone but believes, “God has something to say about these things.”
Okay so this one is a little closer to mainstream dance-pop — but at least it’s in Korean! Most K-Pop videos feature twinky Korean boys doing incredible choreography (owing as much to martial arts and traditional Asian dance forms as to hip-hop) set to a lame imitation of American pop-R&B. This one is different: The song, as fits the title, has real fire, the fashion is very forward, the cinematography excellent, and the choreography truly off the charts. The Koreans are coming!
