The recent hoopla over Newsweek associate editor Ramin Setoodeh's ridiculous commentary about gay actors just proves how much the news business has deteriorated in quality. Who are these stupid young jocks with absolutely no education in common sense and history? Kids these days ... :nono:

Fox's "Glee" is getting an unexpected turn in the klieg lights because of a Newsweek article suggesting that gay actors can't pull off heterosexual roles and which includes a lengthy discussion of "Glee" cast member Jonathan Groff.

"Glee" creator Ryan Murphy issued a scathing statement about the piece and has called for a boycott of the magazine. On Wednesday, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued a statement "urging Newsweek to issue an apology."

The article by Newsweek Associate Editor Ramin Setoodeh, which first appeared online and runs in the mag's latest print edition under "The Critics" heading, starts with a discussion of Sean Hayes's latest gig on Broadway in a revival of "Promises, Promises." Hayes plays an ad guy hopelessly in love with co-worker Kristin Chenoweth. Hayes is "best known as the queeny Jack on [NBC sitcom] 'Will & Grace,' " Setoodeh wrote.

Hayes's "sexual orientation" is "part of who he is" and seeing him "play straight" in the Broadway production is "weird" because he "comes off as wooden and insincere, like he's trying to hide something, which of course he is," Setoodeh wrote.

I also wonder where news is going nowadays. 英国电视电台本来必须保持政治中立的的,可是今年Sky(没错,就是Murdoch旗下的)首席政治编辑严重偏向保守党,在直播节目里差些与工党代表吵起架来,被传为笑谈,都说他干脆去Fox好了。

suggesting that gay actors can't pull off heterosexual roles
Is he kidding? so many gay boys in congress played heterosexual seamlessly for so many years, until they got busted in a bathroom or with a male whore on a european trip

这个人很搞笑,他自己是弯的,然后说,啧啧,如果他们没出柜的话,我还可以买帐他们演直男角色,但是他们已经出柜之后,我看他们演直男角色就心里特不舒服,特不能入戏。 :wallace_tongue:

时代真变了,小十年前,演员里没人敢出柜。现在被人抱怨,生活里出柜的太多了,害得某些观众想入非非,不能好好欣赏他们的表演。

如果弯男不能演直男,电影和戏剧界都没法上男女浪漫戏了。

英国选举太不养眼了。经过08年美国大选把抓马胃口弄的很大的人说。我没电视,在gym 跑步时看了两次辩论,感觉闷的很,三人象一个模子里印出来的,就是在任的老胖憔悴些,在野的白胖紧绷些,都面目平庸没什么魅力,语气手势也没有感染力,看的非常不high! 然后我跟同事说,同事惊讶的说,可这是近年历史上最激动人心的选举了! 我倒。。。。:BloodyK: :BloodyK: :BloodyK:
现在正副首相长的跟哥俩似的一对胖的没下巴的高庄馒头脸,五官挤在下半边,露出个光光的大额头,看着好无趣!
据说跟希拉里打情骂俏过的国防大臣帅哥有望角逐工党的新党魁 :bowling: :bowling: :bowling:

长得好不好看和能不能领导政府、国家走出经济危机,保持稳定繁荣没什么关系,政策和能力才关键。辩才和charisma有一定关系,能说服敌友各方有时侯很重要。选举是否精彩,与选举后的实际问题基本不挂钩。选民看顺眼的领导当选了,蜜月期也总要过去的。

照我说这种选举电视辩论英国从前没有,现在也没有必要,象小K说的,一个养眼的也没有,何必呢。当然我是不合潮流的恐龙级人物。 :wendoline:

英国地方小,一个月内候选人们跑一圈跟选民挨个见面不成问题,电视辩论真可以没有。可能因此竞选广告也没那么花钱,不需要那么使劲集资. 美国那么大,上次大选选足两年。。。纽约在初选和大选都没有争夺意义,纯粹是钱袋肥羊奶牛性质的地方,候选人来多半是筹款晚餐, 连希拉里都没怎么看到,别提帅哥和麦肯了。

英国政治制度还没美国那么messed up, 你才这么觉得。美国现在简直就靠新总统上台的蜜月期才能通过些重大立法,参仪院六十席超级多数一丢,啥大改革都进行不了. 简单的过半数一点用没有。选举前新闻里忧心忡忡的把hang paliment当什么可怕的大事讲, 我问同事啥是hang paliment, 听完了困惑的说:那有啥可怕的,美国长年都是hang paliment.
