That is right. Here is another one I like.

The above is one of my favorite flash mobs. Here are 2 more.

I am excited about Google's Chrome. This is my first post with the browser. It seems great so far and sites seem to load much faster with Chrome. Anyone else using this yet?

Coming out in Hollywood not always easy CNN) -- Meredith Baxter's recent revelation that she is a lesbian resonates with other celebrities who have been forced to discuss their sexuality publicly after gossip and tabloid speculation put a spotlight on the issue. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres used her trademark comedy to reveal herself as a lesbian back in 1997, and Neil Patrick Harris, who played a teen doctor on the television show "Doogie Howser, M.D." 20 years ago, told People magazine in 2006 that he is a "content gay man." Before the interview, Harris' sexual orientation was the subject of widespread speculation. Baxter's publicist Howard Bragman explains that the time was right for the actress to come out -- even though she had been dating women for several years. Bragman has been shepherding gay celebrities out of the closet since Dick Sargent, who played Darrin Stephens, the beleaguered husband on "Bewitched," came out in 1991. Recently, when asked by the National Enquirer whether she was gay, Baxter decided to make the media rounds. She agreed to interviews with NBC's "Today," Sirius XM Radio's "The Frank DeCaro Show" and The Advocate. "When a celebrity is being chased by the tabloids, you want to own the story, instead of have the story own you," Bragman says. And of course, by telling her story on her terms, Baxter can harness the publicity. Bragman -- author of the book "Where's My 15 Minutes?", which includes a chapter devoted to coming out -- says that Baxter will have a book of her own to promote soon. Bragman says the biography, which Baxter is working on now, should hit stores in the next year or so. Many actors are wary of whether the public will embrace their real identity or whether the revelation could restrict the roles they are offered. British actor Rupert Everett recently told the British newspaper The Observer that he "would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out." For some actors, that decision is made for them. Danny Pintauro, who played the lovable little brother on "Who's the Boss?" for eight seasons, says the National Enquirer broke the story of his homosexuality while he was an undergraduate at Stanford University more than 10 years ago. He agreed to be interviewed for the article and is philosophical about the incident. "If it hadn't been the Enquirer, it would have been something else," he says. "I was actually glad it had happened." Pintauro says that the revelation did not hurt his acting career, which he resumed after graduating from Stanford, but it did have an impact. "Everyone in the country knew I was gay, so the attempt to play someone straight was hard," he remembers. "And I wasn't sure I wanted to. I was very comfortable being gay." Now, he works as an assistant at the talent agency APA (Agency for the Performing Arts) in Los Angeles. He still acts occasionally and will appear in an upcoming episode of "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" on ABC Family. Confirming rumors about his sexuality has not seemed to derail Harris' career. He stars in the long-running CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother" as a womanizing bank executive and hosted the Emmys in September. Mitchell Anderson, who played gay violin teacher Ross Werkman on the 1990s drama "Party of Five," says he appreciates having more homosexual actors, such as Harris, in the public eye. His decision to come out as a gay man in 1996 was spontaneous, and, he points out, a rarity at the time. Ellen DeGeneres didn't make her landmark announcement until the following year. Still, Anderson says, "I believe it helped me as an actor. I don't think my career suffered at all." He said that the ability to be honest about being gay allowed him to improve his work, and to help develop a story line in which his character adopted a child. Bragman says we will hear more announcements like Baxter's in the coming years -- and to expect them from big stars. "We live in a very transparent society," he says. "There is no such thing as a secret anymore." http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/04/celebs.coming.out/index.html

The network has canceled yet another of his performances. Sad. I think much more is made out of his performance than should be. Fuck ABC!

I was not happy with his statement as I firmly believe the more that come out the better it is for all of us. That being said, I realize it is hard for young actors and their careers are affected. I am not sure I'd be able to come out if I were in that business.

I have not gotten it yet but will for some family members who loved her voice. I hope the record is great for her and her career!

"Family Ties" actress Meredith Baxter made the media rounds Wednesday confirming the rumors that she is a lesbian. "It was a later in life recognition," the actress explained to Matt Lauer on the "Today" show Wednesday. The National Enquirer recently ran a story about Baxter being spotted on a lesbian cruise through the Caribbean with a "female friend," which was then picked up by celebrity blogs. As a result, the 62-year-old decided to tell her fans herself. "I didn't want some tabloid to take the story and make it up," Baxter said in the interview. "I wanted it to be in my own words." Baxter was also interviewed on Sirius XM Radio's "The Frank DeCaro Show." Coming out was a difficult thing for the quiet actress to do. She told Lauer on "Today" that she's always "lived a very private life. To come out and disclose stuff is very antithetical" to who she is. Baxter told DeCaro that she knew she could be outed when she went on the cruise with her partner, Nancy Locke, but she went anyway. "We live a very open life at home," she said. "Anyone who's a friend of mine, anyone who knows and cares about me knows. It's no secret that I'm gay, but it has been to the greater world. "The reason I'm here [on the show] is because I'm saying, yes, I'm a lesbian." Baxter also told People magazine that she has been in a four-year relationship with Locke, who works as a building contractor. Baxter has been dating women for the past seven years, and "the thought of being gay never crossed my mind," she said. The actress was married three times before, during which she "was never comfortable with herself," she told People. Now, she feels like she's "being honest for the first time." Baxter has also come clean to her five kids, according to People. Her 25-year-old son Peter was all smiles. He told the magazine that he "just couldn't stop smiling, because she finally figured it out." http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/02/meredith.baxter.lesbian.mom/index.html

I am pretty free. I'll be in and out of LA on weekends but week days are OK. January gets much better. What are first week of January? Is that a good time for others?

Do you get the current episodes of the Showtime series as they appear in the USA? I am addicted to Dexter and just love the show and watch it weekly. You can't download it on ITunes until after the season is over on Showtime but I have been watching it weekly as I love it. Another great show from Fox is Glee. I think it is my favorite this season.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. What did you do in LOS? I am very thankful for everyone I have met over the years through this site and in LOS. I am especially thankful for my boyfriend as he is out of the hospital and I have so happy he is OK and back to his normal joking self. My last LOS in Thailand, I had dinner with a friend in Jomtien and it was amazing. It was much better than the home cooked meal I had in LA this week!

Happy Turkey Day to all. I have been very blessed in life but many of them are the people I have from this board. I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving!

I am watching V as I write and the smile on this guys just keeps me watching an alien show.

I liked his performance but the kissed seemed a little staged to me. He said NO. But, it just didn't look spur of the moment to me. You?

The BF in Thailand had Dengue Fever for 10 days. It was sudden and it really kicked his ass. He was in Thai hospital for 10 days. I didn't find out about it for 5 days as he was not able to communicate or get his phone for the first 5. When I did talk to him I also spoke to his doctor and nurse every day to keep an eye to make sure things were going OK. I almost flew there but he assured me that he would be OK. He was but it was after a 10 days stay at 2 different hospitals. The cost for the 10 days, 11k baht. I wonder what the same treatment would have been had I moved him to Bangkok Pattaya? He wanted to stay close to his family and in a Thai hospital so that was OK with me. I am just glad he was OK because he had 104 and over fever for a bit. The doctors said it was touch and go and he did not even get out of bed for 5-6 days. He was severely dehydrated. I have spoken to him on the phone every day since as he is precious to me and I guess this was a wake up call for me as well. Anyone ever had this Dengue Fever?

Missing LOS, I can do little in Los Angeles other than date a Thai guy or get a Thai Massage. I find the Thai guys here much different that in LOS and most are pretty fem. So, I have my bi-weekly massage from a Thai lady. She is excellent and it gives me a good reminder of how much I miss Thailand when I am away. Any others that don't get to live in paradise have ways to jog your memory?

I have had friends stay here and they loved it. I want the BF and I to stay here on my next trip to LOS. I am curious if anyone has taken a BF there and how the experience was? I have read nothing but rave reviews of the place. Some more first hand experience would be great! http://www.fourseasons.com/goldentriangle/

It opens nationwide this weekend. It is worth a visit. Also saw The Blind Side and really enjoyed it!

I think he is hot and sexy. I do think he is being used by many but he seems OK to have him 15 minutes of fame. I'd like to see more!

We have 2 logins. One for main site and one for forum. When you log in with main site it automatically logs you into the forum. We have set them to be the same time frame. The reason is that many would log into the site and go to forum and then go back to site and log out but remain logged into the forum. This was not a good situation. We have to have them both the same. Daddy's site is forum only. There is no other login needed. Ours is. We need to have them synched for security reasons. I know it is a pain for those that want to stay logged in for weeks at a time but the process should not take more than a few seconds.

It was the first gay publication I ever read. It is a real loss.

Are any of the dancing boys, working boys?

Nineteen-year-old, Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado’s body was found burned, decapitated and dismembered on Nov. 14 in Cayey, a city only a few miles away from his hometown in Caguas. According to an iReport by Christopher Pagan, “He was a very well known person in the gay community of Puerto Rico, and very loved.” Pagan said, “Never in the history of Puerto Rico has a murder been classified as a hate crime. Even though we have to follow federal mandates and laws, many of the laws in which are passed in the USA such as Obama’s new bill, do not always directly get practiced in Puerto Rico.” Pagan also noted the public remarks from a police investigator for the case that ‘people who lead this type of lifestyle need to be aware that this will happen’. Towleroad translated gay activist Pedro Julio Serrano’s response: “It is inconceivable that the investigating officer suggests that the victim deserved his fate, like a woman deserves rape for wearing a short skirt. We demand condemnation of this investigator and demand that Superintendent Figueroa Sancha replace him with someone capable of investigating this case without prejudice.” According to Pagan, the story has only made local headlines and deserves international coverage. http://www.365gay.com/topics/news_politics/gay-teen-burned-and-decapitated-in-puerto-rico/
