He told the audience at the third and final presidential debate that “nobody has more respect for women than I do.” But minutes later, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton by calling her a “nasty woman.”
The comment came as the former Secretary of State was discussing Social Security â. a program she plans to add money to if elected on Nov. 8.

I had seen a few days ago that Justin Bieber had given his pet hamster to a random screaming fan in a crowd and asked her to take care of it, which I found odd. Now the hamster lobby (seriously, there's California Hamster Association) is angry at the pop star. "The moment that hamster was handed off to a screaming girl in a harsh, frenzied environment was likely the moment it gazed at the short path to its doom."
Paper Mag celebrates the Year of the Celebrity Bulge, and I'll drink to that!
In Iowa, new millionaires Brian and Mary Lohse are donating part of their $202 million jackpot to their local high school for a new football stadium, with one catch: the visitor locker room has to be done up in pink, in an effort to psyche out the opposing team. Money can't buy you class.

Madonna has had the case of breaking the law in Russia promoting homosexuality dismissed, and as a bonus, Moscow has also vetoed their own version of the St. Petersburg law.
A couple of days ago, I played you the first episode of Log Jam, the gay Republican web series. I found it mildly amusing at best, but some people didn't find it funny at all. The San Francisco Log Cabin Republican President Frank Schein thinks it plays to a terrible stereotype, and he's never, ever in the Log Cabin group heard anyone say anything racist.
We appear to have lost another one. In Italy, a 15 year old boy has reportedly committed suicide after enduring anti-gay bullying. He work pink to school and even painted his nails, leading to bullying not only from his peers but also the school administration.
Is Thanksgiving the perfect holiday to come out to your family?...

Editor's Note - Ed Kennedy was our social media hero with the election results last night, and didn't get a chance to finish the Meme. We'll have a wrap-up of the history that was made, but in the meantime, enjoy these tidbits from Ed, and feel free to add your own! (but please keep it PG-13!).
Something that caught my eye was CBS News correspondent Mo Rocca, an out gay man. His tweet said "As a @CBSNews correspondent I can't tell you how I voted. So I'll show you..." He then tweeted this photo. Have we found a new gay Republican, or am I misinterpreting it?
I don't see how I could be missing the meaning here
Harry Shum might want to try ProActive for that
Alec Mapa made voting a family affair, since this election is about our families
Zachary Quinto mans the voter issue line at the Obama campaign.

Nickelodeon says that Mitt Romney doesn’t have time to participate in their Kids Pick the President special, which airs with each presidential election. President Obama will be taking questions directly from kids, however. The kids have correctly picked the president in five out of the last six elections. Romney isn’t doing well at all with the under-10 demographic, between this and Big Bird.
Here are 100 pictures from the upcoming season of Happy Endings. It looks like the Halloween episode will again be one not to miss.
The Minnesota Archbishop has responded to a mother who pleaded for acceptance of her gay son by telling her that if she doesn't follow church teachings on homosexuality, she's going to hell. “Your eternal salvation may well depend upon a conversation of heart on this topic. Catholics are bound in conscience to believe in this teaching. Those who do not cannot consider...

Congratulations to Rachel Maddow, who beat Sean Hannity last week in the ratings, largely on the strength of her reporting on Mitt Romney's 47% remarks. Maybe the American public is finally learning to be interested in facts.
Cardinal Cordileon, who will lead the Catholic Church in San Francisco, has said "Gays and lesbians who are in sexual relationships of any kind, he said, should not receive the sacrament of Holy Communion, the central ritual of Catholic life."
Not to be outdone, in Chicago, Cardinal George says “There must surely be ways in our civil society, where we can honor friendships, where we can respect other people, without destroying the nature of marriage. It is very important, for your whole lives, give witness to what marriage truly means. And while civil laws might change – if they do – then society will be the worse for it.”

So. John Mayer, fresh from ending his fling with Katy Perry, chopped off all his hair and is looking hot again, instead of like a homeless person.
Mitt Romney hasn't had a good time with music this campaign. Most artists have asked him to stop using their music, like Rage Against the Machine and Dee Snider. Hurricane Isaac caused the Lynyrd Skynard concert at the convention to be canceled. And then rumors circulated that he'd paid Journey $500,000 to perform. It wasn't him, it was actually a private group, Liberty Plaza, that hired Journey.
In what has to be the first sign of the coming apocalypse foreseen by the Mayans, Snooki gave birth to a son this weekend.
Two members of Pussy Riot have fled Russia in the wake of the conviction of three members of the collective for hooliganism.
Former Republican Florida Governor Charlie Crist has come out – in favor of President Obama.

The big news of the day was of course Mitt Romney picking Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate. Ryan is known for his budget plan that would give huge tax breaks to millionaires while gutting Medicare and privatizing Social Security, but he also has a 0% from the Human Rights Campaign on gay issues. He does have great hair though.
Sadly, Matthew Mitcham didn't make it to the finals for the 10M platform dive, but he's already won gold in hearts around the world. Plus that gold he picked up in Beijing.
In a recent interview, Dolly Parton talked about her gay fans. "Being a freak, I know what it's like not being accepted. Not that they were freaks but I was. I just know, through the years, I've had people tell me I should do this or I shouldn't do that. I have a lot of gay fans because...

In sad news, Kathryn Joosten of Desperate Housewives and West Wing fame has passed away from cancer at the age of 72. Her characters were always brassy and fun, and the world is a dimmer place without her.
The New York Times delves into the idea of "gaydar" and how we use subtle visual cues about facial structure and movement to intuit sexuality. Personally, my gaydar is useless these days. The younger generation is more at ease with their sexuality, and every guy under 25 pings for me.
Charlize Theron chews the scenery in Snow White and the Huntsman to great effect evidently, with a projected box office haul of $55 million. Men In Black 3 will be second with $29 million, and The Avengers pulls in another $19 million to become the third highest grossing movie in history behind Titanic and Avatar.

Morning Meme: "The Three Little Pigs" Go On Trial, Brad Pitt Joins "8," and The Muppets Get a Sequel
Stargate's Michael Shanks returns to my television screen this summer in Canadian soap Saving Hope, in which the sexy man will star as a brilliant doctor in a coma, haunting his own hospital while his fiancée played by Smallville's Erica Durance tries to save him.
The Indiana House has backed away from plans to restrict specialty license plates, which many saw as targeting the plate for the gay Indiana Youth Group. Citing how volatile the debate had gotten, sponsor Ed Soliday withdrew the bill.
In a move so savvy it might almost qualify as cynical, Tim Gill has appointed Republican Kirk Fordham to lead his Action Fund.
An Oxford grad has returned his English degree to Exeter over their decision to rent space to the anti-gay Christian Concern conference. I'm assuming this is symbolic, since it doesn't affect his record or references.
The Muppets will be getting a sequel,...

And his boyfriend bakes for a living!
Welcome to Celebrity Twitterwatch, where we let you see what's on the mind of you favorite celebrities other than the lines that someone else has written for them. The holidays seem to be on everyone's mind this week, which means that people who make their living at least partially on their looks are concerned about food.
I've never understood how The Setup Squad's Jonathan D. Lovitz does it anyhow - his boyfriend bakes cookies professionally. I'd be as big as a house, and I mean my house, not those tiny apartments people in New York City live in. But maybe it's those close quarters in New York City that keep everyone sick, so they can be thin?
Well I have the flu. I hurt.Everywhere. Silver lining; I'll be so skinny when it's over

I used to spend a lot of time sneering at the Jonas brothers, but as they've gotten older (and a little less squeaky clean), I find their ability to not take themselves seriously quite endearing. Like Nick Jonas as the deadbeat dad on Last Man Standing, still having to show off his voice.
Zach Wahls went viral speaking in Iowa about his gay moms. This past weekend, his speech went viral a second time, reaching 15 million views. He's taking some time off from college to finish a book and continue his activism. "I happen to be a go-getter student-turned-activist speaking out in defense of his moms, but this isn’t—and shouldn’t be—the norm. Nobody wants to spend all of his or her time defending his family, and I’m looking forward to mine no longer needing defending."
Wait – I knew soccer players played grab ass, took off their shirts,...

The FBI briefly invited members of the Westboro Baptist Church to train their operatives on how to remain calm around people who thoroughly enrage you. The program ended abruptly when the higher-ups caught on.
DNA Magazine interviewed The Setup Squad's Jonathan D. Lovitz about his jury duty protest, the show, and somehow got him out of his clothes for the accompanying photo. Warning: link resizes your browser.
Madonna's W.E. will get a release on December 9th in New York and Los Angeles. J. Edgar, by Dustin Lance Black and Clint Eastwood will bow in October, which is much sooner than I was expecting.
Meanwhile, Sony has shelled out major cash for out director Roland Emmerich's new film The Singularity.
