Gay Marriage

Former U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell defended her decision to walk off Piers Morgan Tonight, but also responded with a good-natured Tweet after the host took a dig at her past as a witch.

“Ms O’Donnell wasn’t happy about me quizzing her re withcraft and sex. But really flipped at gay marriage Qs. Ripped mike and fled,” Piers said.

“My first ever walk-out in 25 years of interviews ... do you think Christine O’Donnell is going to put a witch’s curse on me now?”

Piers then did the professional thing, inviting Christine back on his show to discuss the walk-off. But she respectfully declined on Twitter.

“Piers, thanks for the invite. Schedule is already packed, maybe another night. No hard feelings, you cheeky bugger,” she wrote.

And that's that.

The sorceress/politician told Fox News earlier today that she didn't come on CNN to speak about those hot button issues, and wanted to discuss other topics instead ... except that Piers wouldn't STFU about sex!

Former U.S. Senate candidate and possible witch Christine O'Donnell peaced out of an interview on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight after a heated exchange.

O'Donnell, who ran unsuccessfully as a Republican for Joe Biden's old seat last fall, was there to promote her book, but ended up walking (not flying) out.

Christine was persistently asked by Piers about her views on DADT, gay marriage, and sexuality, but kept trying to steer him away from those subjects.

"You're promoting the damn book!" Morgan exclaimed after her 14th attempt to refer him to it. O'Donnell called him "borderline rude" and awkwardly left.

If nothing else, we learned that O'Donnell does not condone masturbating. Still unresolved is whether she has cast any good spells recently.

It's small, but important and effective and it forces us to give major props to Miley Cyrus.

The singer Tweeted the words "All LOVE is Equal," last night, along with her new tattoo, which is an equal sign. Check it out below:

Cyrus has made her views on gay marriage well known over the years. She spoke out against Carrie Prejean in 2009 and she brought up the topic in contrast with the Casey Anthony verdict a few weeks ago.

In this example, someone disagreed with Miley over Twitter, which prompted the following response: "where does it say in the bible to judge others? Oh right. It doesn't. GOD is the only judge honey. 'GOD is love.'"

The police record of former Cowboys star Michael Irvin is as decorated as this Hall of Famer's resume. He's been busted for numerous alleged crimes, including drug possession and sexual assault.

This month, though, the controversial ex-wide receiver covers Out and wonders if his sordid behavior was related to living with his gay, late brother, Vaughn.

"Maybe some of the issues I’ve had with so many women, just bringing women around so everybody can see, maybe that’s the residual of the fear I had that if my brother is wearing ladies’ clothes, am I going to be doing that? Is it genetic?” Irvin says in the article. “I’m certainly not making excuses for my bad decisions. But I had to dive inside of me to find out why am I making these decisions, and that came up.”

Brad Pitt called New York State's recent passage of a bill legalizing gay marriage an encouraging sign. Might there be signs that he's considering tying the knot?

The actor and partner Angelina Jolie are famous for saying they won't marry until gay marriage is legal everywhere. That's going to be a long, slow fight.

However, Brad recently said his six kids are often asking when mom and dad are going to get hitched. "It's something we've got to look at," he admits.

So will Brangelina really wait for all states to ratify gay marriage, or is that just a clever, noble response to incessant questions regarding their status?

"The thing is with Brad," says one of his closet friends and confidants, "is that you just don't know, especially since he got together with [Angelina]."

Asked why Brad and Angelina don't just get married if they and their kids want that, the source suggested they may be playing the media a bit.

Miley Cyrus went after two hot topics in one Tweet today, reacting in shock to the Casey Anthony not guilty verdict... and then bringing up the state of gay marriage in California to depict how effed up our society is.

The two issues aren't exactly related - neither controversy really needs a comparison to the other in order for most to realize something is amiss - but we commend Miley for at least focusing on important current events.

We'd much rather write about her in this context than make fun of her latest outfit...

Gay couples can now get married in the state of New York.

That's great and all, Brad Pitt tells People, but it's not enough. Not by a great number of states.

“It is encouraging that New York has joined the movement to grant equal marriage rights to its citizens," the actor said. "But it is each American’s Constitutional right to marry the person they love, no matter what state they inhabit."

It took about 30 seconds for How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris, and longtime boyfriend David Burtka, to take advantage of New York's brand new Marriage Equality Bill:

The two are engaged!

Harris and Burtka have been together since 2004 and are the parents of twins. Here is how they announced their plans to marry via Twitter:

The exciting news also gives us an excuse to post Harris' concluding rap from this year's Tony Awards. It was incredibly awesome.

We wish this pair, and all gay couples that now have the same right as heterosexual couples in New York, the very best of luck!

New York has become the latest state to permit gay marriage, passing a bill yesterday that has resulted in a celebration across Hollywood. A sample of excited Tweets from stars follows.

Sorry, David Tyree...

Lady Gaga, celebrating the news with fans below: “The revolution is ours to fight for love, justice+equality. Rejoice NY, and propose. We did it!!!"

Neil Patrick Harris: “It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!”

Eliiza Dushku: “Welcome to the present NY ;) #equality”

Kathy Griffin: “tonight we’re all New Yorkers! Straight & gay alike, let’s all celebrate marriage #equality. The right side of history!

Kerry Washington: "I’m proud of NY right now. Justice. Equality. Respect. Civil Rights for all.” WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO”

Lance Bass: “BIG BIG DAY FOR OUR FAMLIES 33-29 it passed!!!! Now lets educate people and make sure we make them feel comfortable with why this happened!”

Russel Brand: It is now legal to do a gay marriage in NYC @AlecBaldwin, carpe diem.

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann was “glittered” by a gay rights activist as she left the stage at a conservative conference in Minneapolis, Minn., on Saturday.

Get Equal, a California gay rights group, did the honors, citing Bachmann's support for a same-sex marriage ban and her “history of anti-gay rhetoric.”

“You can run, but you cannot hide! Keep your hate out of our Constitution!” shouted Rachel E. B. Lang, who threw glitter at the GOP presidential candidate.

Lang actually did a lackluster job with the glitter (which is really more like confetti), largely missing Bachmann before security hauled her off REALLY fast:

Michele Bachmann Gets Glittered

Get Equal said that Lang's words were a reference to to the conservative “You Can Run But You Cannot Hide” ministry for which Bachmann raised money.

Bachmann is not the first GOP presidential candidate to be glittered.

On Thursday, representatives from the groups Reproductive Rights and CODEPINK showered former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty with pink confetti.

Newt Gingrich was similarly hit with glitter at a book signing back in May. Basically, no Republican is safe. Well, except N.Y. State Sen. Roy McDonald.
