Good morning! I hope you all had a nice long weekend.
Lindsay Lohan spoke with Us Weekly about her relationship with Samantha Ronson.
Two toxic people cannot be together. End of story. We’re friends now. That’s how it started so I think that’s how it was meant to be. I was bold enough to say, "Yeah I like a girl. And?" That put her in a situation where she was being attacked every day. That’s not fair. And what am I left with? Heartbreak. That was three years ago. It was my last serious relationship.

And now Britney Spears' "Toxic" is in my head.
Calgary Stampeder Jon Cornish has two moms, and one of them is an Anglican priest. Pretty rad.

Originally posted online on July 7, 2010. The Kids Are All Right is nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress (Annette Bening), Best Supporting Actor (Mark Ruffalo) and Best Original Screenplay (Lisa Cholodenko & Stuart Blumberg).
It’s been eight years since Lisa Cholodenko’s last feature film (six if you count her TV adaptation of Dorothy Allison’s novel Cavedweller), but for the 46-year-old writer-director of 1998’s High Art (winner of the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at Sundance) and 2002’s Laurel Canyon (starring Frances McDormand and Christian Bale) the time has, if anything, only sharpened her wits and powers of empathic observation, not to mention her considerable talent for guiding seasoned actors to perform at their finest. Her interest in chronicling the mid-life anxieties and self-doubts of artsy, sexually unorthodox women (Ally Sheedy’s druggy boho photographer in High Art, McDormand’s bisexual record-biz maven in Laurel Canyon) have aligned her in some ways with the lesbian community,...

Oscar nominations for Precious and The Blind Side seem to have increased nonsensical attacks that the films are racist
As someone who did voter registration in the South during the 1960s, I am dismayed at the negative criticism now being voiced against two films, Precious and The Blind Side, that deal with the problems of growing up as a black person in America. The multiple Oscar nominations that both films have received have, if anything, increased the attacks on them.
Sadly, the attacks represent a racial step backwards rather than forward. If such criticism had been heeded in the 1960s, when "We Shall Overcome" was the anthem of the civil rights movement, it would have been fatal to a political movement that depended on black-white alliances for its successes.
The boldest civil rights undertaking of the era, the Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964, in which white and black college students ran...

NEW YORK -- Lisa Cholodenko has signed on to direct the Showtime original film Cavedweller. The indie writer-director, whose credits include Laurel Canyon and High Art, will be at the helm when Cavedweller goes into production later this year. Final casting decisions are still being made, but Kyra Sedgwick will star and serve as co-executive producer along with Orly Adelson (The Junction Boys) and David Yudain (Desert Saints). Cavedweller is an adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name by Dorothy Allison, who also wrote Bastard Out of Carolina, another book that went on to become a Showtime film. The novel chronicles the return of a rock singer (Sedgwick) to her hometown in Georgia, where her kids remained with the abusive husband she left behind. Sedgwick's husband, Kevin Bacon, also will appear in Cavedweller in a supporting role. Showtime declined comment.
