Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson Makes Controversial Remarks About Sin in America   by Erin Hill

( Anytime someone quotes the fictitious Bible, I often tune it off since I pretty much know the rhetoric; nevertheless, I offer this to those who love "Duck Dynasty" (I'm not one of them). The insensitivity of associating the LGBTQ community with bestiality is a new low.

‘Duck Dynasty’ star Phil Robertson took aim at homosexuality in an interview with GQ. Equating same sex relationships to bestiality, he called homosexuality ‘not logical.’

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson is under attack for saying in the January issue of GQ  that “homosexual offenders” will not “inherit the Kingdom of God” and stating in graphic terms his preference for heterosexual sex over homosexual sex.

“Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong,” he told GQ. “Sin becomes fine.” He also paraphrased Corinthians: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

“We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job,” Robertson continued. “We just love ’em, give ’em the good news about Jesus—whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort ’em out later, you see what I’m saying?”

 A&E hasn’t commented on how Robertson’s comments could impact the future of the hit series. However, in 2007, Dog the Bounty Hunter came under fire for using racial slurs, and A&E halted production of his series. And celebrity chef Paula Deen lost the support of several major sponsors after she admitted to using racial slurs earlier this year.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Gives Remarkable Speech on Gay Rights, Racism

Notoriously private executive spoke of personal discrimination

By Matt Vella @

"Tim Cook, Apple’s media-shy chief executive, made a rare public speech at the U.N. this week. Auburn University, Cook’s alma mater, posted his 13-minute talk on Saturday.


Cook made his comments after receiving an achievement award from the university. He talked of personally witnessing a cross burning during his youth, an event that “changed his life forever,” and went on to say, “Since these early days, I have seen and have experienced many types of discrimination and all of them were rooted in the fear of people that were different than the majority.”

Cook, 53, continued by describing the values he says he found in Apple and its founder Steve Jobs when he joined the company in the late 1990s. These include creating products accessible to the disabled and, later, backing national nondiscrimination legislation.

Cook went on to talk of gay rights, saying, “Now is the time to write these basic principles of human dignity into the book of law.” He also backed an immigration overhaul, adding of proposed reforms, “Do not do them because they are economically sound — although they are — do them because they are right and just.”

The statements are remarkable for the notoriously private Cook because they strongly imply personal experience with discrimination. In 2013, Out Magazine named Cook the most powerful LGBT person in the world.

RIP JOAN FONTAINE--BEAUTIFUL LEGEND:

Hollywood stalwart Joan Fontaine, best known for her roles in director Alfred Hitchcock's 1939 Rebecca and her Best Actress Oscar-winning role in his 1940 film Suspicion, died Sunday at her northern California home, according to several reports. She was 96.

Details of her death were not immediately available.

In addition to playing a mousey spouse in both the Hitchcock films, first alongside Laurence Olivier and then to Cary Grant, Fontaine's other well-known movies included 1943's The Constant Nymph, which got her a third Oscar nomination, 1944's Jane Eyre with Orson Welles, 1952's Ivanhoe with Robert Taylor, and 1957's controversial Island in the Sun with Harry Belafonte.

I  also remember her as the meek socialite in "THE WOMEN".

Her final role was in a 1994 TV movie.

Kirstie Alley's new show : "KIRSTIE"

( I MAY HAVE OVERSOLD THIS--SORRY FOLKS. I STILL WATCH IT BUT THE FIRST EPISODE WAS STILL THE BEST ONE)


TONIGHT'S PREMIERE: "KIRSTIE" on TV Land, starring Kirstie Alley--
LOVED IT!
In many ways an homage to "ALL ABOUT EVE" (thank you). The cast is good but as usual Rhea Pearlman steals every scene (she is obviously named after the most legendary scene stealer of them all from "All About Eve", Thelma Ritter). Alley is really comfortable in this role. I hope the future episode are just as funny and well written. CATCH IT!

Alley was very smart to cast the right people:

Michael Richards for physical comedy & stereotypical male point of view
Rhea Peralman as the wisecracking maid and best friend with a heart (and common sense)
Gilles Marini for the eye candy
Christopher  McDonald as her male diva counterpart

Eric Peterson who starred in "SKREK the MUSICAL" & other Broadway shows reminds me of a young Jackie Gleason; he's the everyday man (her son). He DOES need to catch up on his screen  acting, however..I think he will
Kristin Chenoweth playing the Eve role with a brassy sense of humor (but really, what can't this woman do?)

Kirstie Alley's character is just an exaggerated version of who we see in her interviews or on "Dancing with the Stars"-- a diva who is bold, funny & self deprecating

We need to just have faith in the writers.

I had noticed the nod to "ALL ABOUT EVE" even before the show aired but when Alley wore an exact replica of Bette Davis' dress in the party scene in "All About Eve" at the end of her show I knew I had nailed it...

Good luck Kirstie, you're a hard working, funny woman (and a Scientologist? Huh?)
