Finally! Diana Ross to Receive Grammy For Lifetime Achievement in February



from VJ Brendan's World In New Orleans by VJ Brendan Thompson

She will be presented with the honor an invitation-only ceremony to be held on Feb. 11 and will be acknowledged during the Grammy Awards telecast the next night.

I certainly hope they allow Miss Ross to take the stage and make a speech and show clips or better yet, ask her to perform. Too often, musical legends are just asked to stand as the audience applauds.

In addition to Miss Ross, other Lifetime Achievement honorees will include the Allman Brothers Band, Glen Campbell, Antonio Carlos Jobim, George Jones, the Memphis Horns, and Gil Scott-Heron.

'Glee': 'Real Housewives' NeNe Leakes to Guest as Sue's Rival



from VJ Brendan's World In New Orleans by VJ Brendan Thompson

Sue Sylvester will meet her match in an upcoming episode of Glee — and if the casting is any indication, it’s going to be a fierce battle for domination.

NeNe Leakes, from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is set to play Roz Washington, the school’s synchronized-swim team coach and Sue’s latest rival, EW has confirmed. As Gleeks saw in the preview for January episodes, the just-returned Sam (Chord Overstreet) will join the synchronized-swim team in the second half of the season.

Leakes has already filmed her first episode and there is no word on what episode she is set to appear in next, according to Fox. Although, Leakes tweeted earlier that she would return to the Glee set after the holidays.

Cast members Chris Colfer and Lea Michele also talked excitedly about Leakes’s role during their appearance Bravo’s Watch What Happens: Live! “We literally raided her trailer,” Michele told host Andy Cohen.

Human Testing on Possible HIV Vaccine Starts in Jan.


By Neal Broverman
10 Greatest HIV Discoveries of 2011 x390 (phtos) | ADVOCATE.COM
A Canadian research team received a green light from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday to begin human trials on a potential HIV vaccine,the National Postreports.

Dr. Chil-Yong Kang, virologist at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont., is leading the research team that will conduct the clinical trials. After the group’s potential vaccine showed no side effects on rats and monkeys, the FDA agreed to advance it to the first of three phases of human trials, which can begin next month. The FDA is involved because Kang’s team is working with a Korean pharmaceutical company with patents in the U.S.; the company likely hopes to market the vaccine, if successful, in America. 

The possible vaccine, in the works since 1987, is actually a dead HIV virus infected into cells. “So we infect the cells with a virus and then the infected cells will produce lots of virus and we can collect them, purify them and then inactivate them,” Kang said in a video posted on the University of Western Ontario’s YouTube channel.

The first human trial will utilize 40 HIV-positive patients to test the safety of the possible cure. The human trial's second phase will include 600 HIV-negative people considered high-risk for catching the disease — the third phase bumps that number to 6,000. Watch Kang discuss the human trials below.

Nicole Scherzinger Held At Gunpoint In Mexico



from VJ Brendan's World In New Orleans by VJ Brendan Thompson

Reports have surfaced that Nicole was held at gunpoint in Mexico by law enforcement officers! She was with choreographer Brian Friedman, driving through the mountains in Mexico to get to the set of Nicole’s new music video, ”Try with Me,” when all of a sudden, their bulletproof SUV was pulled over by some gun-toting officials.

They were surrounded by Mexican authorities, Friedman told Star. “We were held at gunpoint. People next to our cars … there were M16s and Berettas!” There was total panic, but they were let go immediately. Just doing their jobs, right? While the police do confirm that the incident went down, they’re standing by the fact that no weapons were drawn on anyone.

“Nicole cursed me with this trip,” Friedman told Star. “It was the craziest adventure ever!” That music video better be worth the trouble.

Iconic soul singer Etta James’s health has taken a turn for the worst. It’s been a year of medical hardship for 73-year-old James. According to Lupe De Leon, her manager of 30 years, “Etta has a terminal illness. She’s in the final stages of leukemia. She has also been diagnosed with dementia and Hepatitis C. She’s in a home right now and mostly sleeps. She is under the care of a live-in doctor from Riverside Community Hospital and two others who have placed her on oxygen. Her husband is with her 24 hours a day, and her sons visit regularly. We’re all very sad. We’re just waiting.”

Bible Verse Of The Day



from Joe. My. God. by Joe
The Friendly Atheist tells the story of the Christian bookstore who denied a patron's request to place the above Bible verse on a t-shirt.
They had a t-shirt printer that was used to put verses. I asked if a printing of a Timothy 2:12 shirt was reasonable. Being Christians, they had never looked that far into the Bible, so they looked it up with their handy dandy on site Bible. When they recited the verse (A woman happened to be the reader of the Bible) they informed me of how disrespectful of their religion I was being. I was unsure of how I was being disrespectful by asking for a verse from their Holy Book.
I've been known to quote Proverbs 23:2. That one doesn't go over well either.

George Michael Hospitalized



from Joe. My. God. by Joe
George Michael is reportedly worsening after being admitted on Monday to an Austrian hospital for the treatment of pneumonia. His management has announced the cancellation of the remaining dates on his world tour. Via yesterday's Vienna Times:
He is currently in intensive care on the 13th floor of the red tower as a result of heart problems believed to be caused by the shortage of oxygen caused by his pneumonia. On Thursday afternoon he was fitted into a special full-body bed designed to keep all the pressure off his lungs and to help them to function - so far without any sign of improvement. Head doctor from the nearby Otto Wagner Hospital, Norbert Vetter, said that the reason a person with a lung problem was being treated in the cardiac unit probably lay in the fact that if there was a lung problem - and not enough oxygen being taken into the body - then that could affect the heart especially if the heart had already been damaged in some way. He added in the worst case the heart could cease to function.
Business Week quotes one of the singer's doctors as saying he has "severe community acquired pneumonia." Michael's spokesman confirmed his condition as "bad." Some tabloids are already rushing out with AIDS rumors and commenters on anti-gay sites like Free Republic are saying exactly the sort of things you'd expect from loving Christians.

UPDATE: Pink News reports that Michael's team is denying the Vienna Times report about his heart.
The star’s spokeswoman said in a statement: “George Michael is ill with pneumonia and any other speculation regarding his illness is unfounded and untrue. “He is receiving excellent medical care, he is responding to treatment and slowly improving”. A source told the Daily Mail: “George has woken up and he’s in good spirits. Doctors are very pleased with him, and he’s making progress.” “He’s been in terrible pain. He’s had a dreadful chest infection, but he’s been in good care. He’s in very capable hands”.

A Strategy to Change Minds: Focus on the Gay Family


In response to California’s passage of Proposition 8, one couple used YouTube to show the world what a gay family with two adopted children looks like — a message that resonates this National Adoption Month.
By Christopher Donaldson
BRYAN LEFFEW JAY FOXWORTHY FAMILY 390x (SCREEN) ADVOCATE.COM
Jay Foxworthy, left, and Bryan Leffew with their children.
Neither of them knew much about the future, but it looked bright when Jay Foxworthy and Bryan Leffew decided to register as civil partners in the state of California. It was Leffew’s birthday that clear night in 1998, and Foxworthy took him out for a night on the town, under the starlight, as two people in love do in San Francisco.
The following morning at breakfast, Foxworthy officially proposed with a birthday card slipped across a tiny table inside an IHOP restaurant. “I was not expecting it, so I cried, which made our waitress worry,” remembers Leffew.
Right then and there, beside a wide selection of eggs and pancakes, they felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. The only thing that stood in their way was a quick trip to the city clerk’s window where they would sign a white piece of paper. “I felt like I was married even before we signed,” Leffew said. “And I didn’t give a damn what anybody else thought about the legality of it.”
Today, stories like these of two people invariably in love and now raising children are helping to fight against discrimination and hate through home videos posted on their YouTube channel, "Gay Family Values." And with a little help from Jaye Bird Productions, those same videos and values will make their silver screen debut in 2012 in a feature-length documentary, The Right To Love: An American Family.
“We hope the film can help people see the issue of marriage equality and same-sex families in a new light,” they wrote about the project in response to questions from The Advocate. “It’s so easy to only think of these issues as ideas or concepts that you agree or disagree with. It turns into something else when you know these are matters of life and love for real people who have names. You probably know many of them.”
Watch a trailer below and follow some of the moments from their videos on the following pages. 


BRYAN LEFFEW JAY FOXWORTHY FAMILY 390x (SCREEN) ADVOCATE.COMThings As They Are, Things As They Could Be 
Two years after Foxworthy and Leffew took children Selena and David into their home, they decided to leave their civil union for more equal green pastures — marriage. Luckily, they decided just before a certain 2008 referendum would throw California’s marriage equality rights into the hands of voters who found it difficult to breathe the same legal air as the gay community.
“Literally the moment that President Obama was giving his victory speech about how the promise of the civil rights movement had come to fruition — with flags flying in the background and throngs of tearful onlookers — the ticker tape feed was announcing that Prop 8 had passed,” Leffew said.
Like most members of the LGBT community then, Foxworthy and Leffew were shocked. They couldn’t believe that their state, one of the most gay-friendly in the U.S., saw same-sex marriage unworthy of equal protection under California law. (It was also the first time that the California constitution was used to strip away rights.) They sighed. In truth, they cried, too, as if they had swallowed hope. They cried those furious tears of defeat even though they were one of the 18,000 couples the California Supreme Court allowed to remain married.
Moving Into Action 
The next morning, after the shoulders of California’s history drooped, they started to wonder about why the “Prop 8” side refused to show gay couples and gay families on television or in print. “We were the ones being impacted by the law and it seemed as if the Prop 8 proponents were scared to push away moderate voters by showing living, breathing LGBT people,” they wrote. “We had initially hoped that Californians would see through the scare tactics of groups like the National Organization for Marriage” and their “gays are coming for your kids” tripe.
But the majority of concerned, pro-traditional family proponents like NOM, the Mormon Church and Focus on the Family certainly didn’t. So in protest, Foxworthy and Leffew pulled out their digital camera and made a YouTube video that showed how ballot initiates impacted families like theirs. “We wanted to dispel myths and fears about the LGBT community by giving the world a window into our family, and now, three years and 269 videos later, we are still doing it,” says Leffew. “All of it was essentially done in response to the passage of Prop 8.”
Reality Sets In 
It’s one thing to want a family and another when you actually bring children home for the first time.
“You will second guess everything you were so sure you could handle before,” said Leffew, who is the stay-at-home parent. “I had never learned how to cook, and now here I was, responsible for the nutritional needs of a 5 year-old-boy and his baby sister.”
Leffew had to learn fast, and he was scared to death that he wasn’t doing it right.
“I worried that they would not accept us as parents and that we would always be second in their mind to their biological parents.” Thankfully, none of his worries became reality. “Every day that went by found us more and more able to handle what came our way, even the emotional stuff.”
But the couple still inherits those tough and terrified prophesies that come from the heterosexist voice and worldview. “But hopefully, by seeing our lives, those who hold homophobic views will gain a different and more informed perspective on same-sex families, marriage equality and gay rights in general,” they wrote optimistically.
The Adoption Process 
Not surprisingly, the question most often posed to Foxworthy and Leffew is about the logistics of gay adoption. In these delicate days, divided as they are, there is little guidance out there for gay couples looking to build a family. “You are really on your own to figure it out and every state has different rules,” they wrote.
Foxworthy and Leffew decided several years after their civil union, in 2006, that they wanted to adopt children after one of Foxworthy’s coworkers (he works in law enforcement) directed them to True To Life Children’s Services, a private, gay-friendly adoption agency in Sonoma County. “TLC treated us like gold, and they walked with us through the entire process,” he said.
Once they were registered for fost-adopt, they began the process of leafing through piles of books that contained thousands of profiles of children available for adoption in California. The agency, soon thereafter, was contacted by the social workers of two biological siblings named Daniel and Selena. “I was staggered by the number of kids that I had seen in those books,” Leffew says. “Daniel’s profile initially scared me a bit because they made his medical records sound much worse than they were.”
Daniel was taken into state custody due to the drug use and criminal history of his parents. “Daniel’s mother had lost all legal rights to any child she might have in the future, including Selena,” Leffew said. “So, both Selena and Daniel were placed in foster care until a suitable adoptive family could be found.”
That suitable adoptive family turned out to be Foxworthy and Leffew. “It was love at first sight for all of us,” the couple exclaims. “Daniel was barely 5 then and Selena was just over 1 year old.”
