I am not a political blogger, but this is too funny not to pass up.
Man, Palin just created a new or did she?I love that Palin just comes up with the best new words.I also love when her supporters come in and try to defend her new words.
So, does that mean congress has to approve a Squirmish?
Wait a second, Did Fox News remove and change Palin's word? She doesn't say it in this version, Was this re-edited? Why would they edit out her new word?
Palin, stay on script or let Fox re-edit your words.
The Washington State legislature has voted to recognize all valid out-of-state same-sex marriages. According to the Associated Press:
"On a 28-19 vote, the Senate cleared the last hurdle for the bill. Under the measure, gay marriages performed elsewhere would be recognized as domestic partnerships here, as well as domestic partnerships performed in other states.
Currently, five states, the District of Columbia and Canada allow same-sex marriages. Washington becomes the fourth state to approve a similar bill, following Rhode Island, New York and Maryland. The measure enjoyed wide support among Democrats. It passed the House 58-39, mostly on party-line votes."

After millions of fanboys cried BS on the TV Wonder Woman outfit for the upcoming TV show, it looks like the designers made some changes to the outfit. I didn’t like the blue boots, but kind of dug the upper suit. Plus, I’m more for the slightly slimmer WW, because of the Bruce Timm version from JLU.
And, I have to say I am pleased with the new upgrades to the outfit. I f’ing love the red boot and the stars on the side of the pants. This is certainly more of a blend of Golden Age and the newest costume from the updated series in the DCU.
I still don’t like what I am hearing about the show, but I think they made some good choices with the redesign. Now, if they can get Power Girl to show up on the show, I’ll be happy…
A little predictable that my jam would be a Madonna track, but so what lol. This song (in fact the whole Confessions On A Dancefloor album) instantly transports me back to freshman year in college. Good times Listen below:
You have to check out these “Let's Play” videos of probably the work game ever.
The game was based on the character models of the amazingly cool Superman: The Animated Series. They even used some of the same voice actors for the game, considering it is a cart-based N64 game. That being said, this game has to be worst game I’ve seen since that Alf game I bought years ago.
The glitches are so bad that the actively tries to defeat you when you play on the real mission (via inside buildings). At one point in the “Let's Play video”, during the boss battle the main boss falls through the floor and you can't defeat her. You have to reset your game. Plus, there are numerous times when you can walk through walls and into voids with water. Why is the area within the level surrounded by water?
Why would they put so many rings in the game?
Playstation Superman?
After watching the Let’s Play videos, Proton Jon revealed that there was Playstation version of the game that was almost ready for release. Blue Sky and Titus worked on a PS1 version. Titus lost the license and the game was scrapped. Check out the full coverage here from Playstation Museum.
It seems the PS version of the game ended up being better than the dreaded N64 version.
Yes, that was running on PS1 hardware. Man, this might have washed the bad taste of Superman 64 out of the gamers’ collective mouths.
I got into a discussion with one of my professors about characters crossing over from different shows with me mentioning Detective Munch.And, now I got a kick out of the fact another one of my favorite characters is added on that list.
I’m currently watching Breakout Kings On Demand and was surprised to see T-Bag show up in the opening.He was one of the best things about Prison Break and it is extremely cool that he’s back in true form in this episode. While he was a terrible person, you kind of liked the guy for his true badness.
I like the fact that Breakout Kings and Prison Break share the same universe.Both shows share the same creators, so it wasn’t a huge shock.However, the show is produced by A&E while Fox produces Prison Break.
Robert Knepper is great reprising his role again.It is hard to see him as anyone else, but T-Bag.
-Some character has to explain what “t-bagging” means.
-T-Bag throws a woman out of a moving car!And she lives!
-T-Bag kills a lot of people in this episode.But, he has a reason for breaking out again.In a twisted way…
-T-Bag throws a guy into a rock grinder.That was brutal.
While I’m not completely sold on Breakout Kings, this crossover was a nice touch.
Not long ago broken love relationship with Joe Jonas, Ashley Greene had hooked another man. The actress reportedly had to pick up a handsome star Chris Evans.
Chris Evans, the star in the movie Captain America, reportedly having an affair with Greene. Both were seen together in Los Angeles.
"They were dancing very close, it looks like they have a strong sexual chemistry," said an eyewitness. Greene closeness with a man after the end of Jonas is not the first time it sounded.
Previously, Greene was also reportedly close to Kings of Leon frontman, Jared Followill. Both were seen leaving a bar together in St Day. Patrick "Ashley Greene wants to prove he still deserves true love," said a source.
An adovcacy group is announcing a magazine made for and by gay military members. Outserve, an underground organization made up of active U.S. service members who are lesbian, gay, bi or transgender, produces the publication, which may soon be displayed at military stations around the world.
"Our first objective with the magazine is to let all the gay, lesbian, bi, and trans members currently serving know that they are not alone," an active-duty officer who goes by the pseudonym JD Smith said in a statement. "Visibility is key," Smith said, who added that OutServe hopes to have its next version available in print at "some larger military bases."
The magazine is currently available for download online. The magazine will also contain features on how the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell " will be implemented, as well as pertinent information for LGBT military members.
"We also want to communicate to all troops that there are capable gay military members serving honorably, and that accepting that and moving on will make our military stronger," said Smith.
Those were really funny.I have no idea where these outtakes came from.
I always enjoyed the Crash ads because they seem to have a sarcastic attitude to them.Crash was the unofficial mascot for the Sony Playstation years ago.The series was at its strongest when Naughty Dog held the development rights.It all came crashing down when Universal Interactive took full control over the series from Naughty Dog.
To be fair, Crash was very much a product of the 90s.His attitude was a huge part of the Extreme movement of that period.But, I liked what they were doing with Crash at the time as far as gameplay and environments were concerned.
Everyone remembers the ad where Crash shows up to “crash” Nintendo at their American HQ.
As you know, I hate Abercrombie. I hate the thumping techno music and the awful cologne being pumped into the air system. I hate the pre-ripped and dirty jeans that you pay full, overprice for. I hate the annoying D-bags that work at the store. And, this is another reason.
Now, the world’s most annoying company is at it again. The company is giving little girls an early eating disorder over their body at age 8. They planned on selling these push-Bikinis to children.
Did I also mention the bikini top is padded too? I have a problem with the parents that think that it is a good idea to buy these things to their kids. Let Abercrombie sell their shitty products; just don’t give your little girl even more problems to deal with at that age. Let girls behave as girls and not have to worry about body image issues...yet.
Now, Abercrombie is feeling the heat and upped the age to 12. From The Columbus Dispatch, ((Abercrombie addressed concerns about the swimsuit with a posting on the company's Facebook page, which said, "We've re-categorized the Ashley swimsuit as padded. We agree with those who say it is best 'suited' for girls age 12 and older." ))
I still think 12 is a bit young too. That's just me.
I'll get you next time Abercrombie, next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lindsay Lohan plans to eliminate the family name is listed behind her name. This troubled actress will only use her first name only, like Oprah or Beyonce.
Artists who are facing court charges for allegedly stealing a necklace worth USD2.500 from a boutique in California that wants to be known only by the name 'Lindsay' alone. Not only Lindsay, her mother, Dina Lohan, is also planning to use back her maiden name Sullivan.
Mean Girls movie star was inspired eliminate the family name after she filed suit against the company $ 100 million trade E * Trade, last year.
Another reason is that Lindsay's father, Michael is currently struggling with legal problems recently on domestic violence incidents that she did to her partner Kate Major.
"So many great people in the world of showbiz is known only by their first names only. See Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list," said one family that was launched Femalefirst, Monday (28/03/2011).
"And it's a way for them all to begin this new chapter in his life. No one in the family wanted to deal with Lindsay's father again, including sharing a last name," she said.
If you recall my "O Ms. Celie" post a few months back, then you are already well aware that Whoopi isn't adverse to popping a pill (or two) when faced with a nerve-wracking situation such as flying. It turns out being nominated for an Oscar is also a panic-inducing event for Whoopi. Enough so that she needed to spark up before accepting the award for Best Supporting Actress in Ghost. A career highlight in more ways than one.According to CNN.com:
"Smoking cigarettes and pot every now and then are my habits. And so I thought, I've got to relax. So I smoked this wonderful joint that was the last of my home grown," she says in the video.
In fact, Goldberg was so high that she was worried about making it to the podium when presenter Denzel Washington announced that she had won an Oscar for Ghost.
"When he said my name and I popped up, I thought, Oh f-! ...OK, up the stairs ... around to the podium … there's millions of people, pick up the statue, get the statue," she says in the clip.
Goldberg's mother later called and asked if she had smoked prior to the event. "Your eyes were just glistening," she told her daughter.
Mama knows child! You can watch Whoopi talk about her Oscar night misadventures in a 1992 recording session clip obtained by TMZ here.
Well, Ark Music Factory, I kind of like this song. I don't love it, but it isn't shitty.
The song isn't terrible, in a “Friday”way, and dare I say the tune is rather catchy in a Sonic the Hedgehog from the 90s kind of way. I mean the song actually sounds like something off a Sonic the Hedgehog tune. The Auto-tune is a bit too much, but goes with the digital feel the video attempts to convey.
If she laid-off the auto-tune, I think she might have a chance to really make as an artist. You can check out two of her other songs on her myspace page (not facespace). I think her voice lends itself to techno songs and dance tracks. And, she seems to be better than Rebecca Black in the voice department.
I think the song needs another minute or at least a remix by some European DJ or a rap by Lil Wayne. (Because all songs are required to have a cameo by Lil Wayne, right?) Not too bad, Ark.
The music video
Basically, Britt's boyfriend, who looks to be 20, starts to video-chat with her via the social media site “Facespace”. Jason forgets to sign out of the video-chat and accidentally leaves cam on for Britt to see that he's cheating on him with another girl. (Oh, the horror!)
Jason leaves his cam on the whole day and Britt watches him study and records him out of revenge. I guess it is a good thing she didn't catch him watching Spankwire or something. (Great Scott) Instead of slashing his tires, putting firecrackers in his mailbox, or leaving bag of flaming poop on his doorstep, she records him drooling on himself...when he's sleeping. I'm sure he drools when he's awake as well, but it's funnier when he's sleeping. She releases the video to the entire Internet to mock him.
That grown rapper (Patrice Wilson) makes another appearance. This time he seems to be stuck inside the Internet because we get to see flashing/flying sparks and wire connections. Someone send Tron after him to save him. You'll notice that he's inside most of the laptops! He's like poor man's Agent Smith. Get him out of there!
The music video then turns into an India music video with three of the girls dancing in a field.
-Uh, Facespace? Did Myspace and Facebook make love and birth Facespace? I love the fake company. How about some Red Apple cigarettes and some slushos?
-Are her friends frozen at the beginning of the video?
This woman is tough. She takes on a cleric and uses his twisted logic against him. She crushes him old school style. We need more woman like this in the world.
While I hate reality shows like this Bigg Boss show is discussing, it should be noted that she is correct that the show is a mixture of stars. They even had a WWE star on the show. (Khali the big guy from The Longest Yard)
I look at a smart woman like this and think, “And we interview stupid blank slates like Paris Hilton.”
I just wrapped up the shortened season one on Netflix.Here are a few notes on the episodes.
-Al is no longer the asshole he was in the opening episode.I mentioned that Al seemed like more of jerk in the early portions of the premiere.As the season progressed, you can clearly see the good friendship.There is a nice moment where the two of them sing a song on a radio together.
-We get some of the early hints that people can actually see or hear Al.During one episode, Al is screaming directly at an old woman in a car while she is driving toward her death.She listens to him and saves her life.She actually hears him and says, “You didn’t have to curse at me.”She even looks in his direction.That was a nice little moment.This would be hinted at throughout the series.Animals and certain children can see Al.
-A young Michael Jackson makes a cameo appearance:It is kind of creepy now, given that Michael is dead, but it was cool seeing a young Michael dancing.He has a dance-off with Sam.It is a cute scene.
-“The Color of Truth”:This is the episode where Sam leaps into a black man.And he accidently sits down in a “whites only” diner.This causes a major problem for his family and other blacks within Alabama.This episode is beautifully written, directed, and acted.It doesn’t come across as being too preachy either.The best moment is when Al stands in the empty cell singing “we shall overcome”.We get an inside look into Al’s history and his part in the civil rights movement.
Mythbusters: That Knight Rider truck ramp/KITT ride
Wow, it worked.
I remember watching KITT roll up the Knight Truck in each episode. I loved it. I also thought it was cool that they had a moving base inside the truck full of computers and a support team.I remember I wanted to get the truck as a toy.I’m not sure if I had it or not, I know I had KITT.
I'm not a huge fan of Lopez, but I have hand it to him on his attack against former actress current tweeter. Then he took it back after he took some heat from his “pig” comment. It is fine and good to come in and defend Alley until you realize all the nasty things she's done because of her “fair game” comments.
She's had a few feuds over the years via her twitter account. She was a serious actress that turned heads with her performance in Star Trek II and her amazing chemistry with Ted Danson in Cheers. Cheers was actually a better show with Alley starring more so than Shelly Long. She used to be a hard working actress, who was stunningly pretty, but now she's known for her reality shows and twitter battles. That is sad.
She needs to stop using Twitter and reality shows and get back to acting.
Anyway, this is what Lopez said about her, (( "Lopez Tonight" on Tuesday, March 22. "She did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away. Before the show she went to the market. And then she had roast beef. And this is her going all the way home," so he joked. ))
Okay, that was more funny with the video than reading the quote. But, I'll give Lopez a point for that one. I guess Alley couldn't let that be, given her “fair game” teachings.
She tweeted this, (("Don't worry about George's comments...Just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk wolf...falls in a boiling pot of vodka. Piggy laughs." ))
Are two grown people fighting using nursery rhythms?
Lopez, is this a person you should apologize to? She revealed the name and address of the writer of a gossip writer in order to get “fair game” on someone.
From her fair game rant, (celebitchy) ((THat’s [name redacted] [phone number redacted]. [email address redacted]..show S SOME LOVE..tell her my DADDY sent you..More news on S to follow about 23 hours ago from web

I am also certain, there were some behind the scenes issues going on. Like the Church of Space threatening to removed their members from his show.
At work, someone brought in a pack of Hi-C. It got me in the mood to try this boxed juice drink out again. It is one of those childhood memories of getting a box of it in my Transformers lunch box a few days a week. So, I went to the store and got a ten-pack of the Flashing Fruit Punch. I ended up giving one to my professor during a meeting.
Hi-C is one of those drinks you can drink cold or warm. I drank most of them all day and got kind of sick. I don't remember this happening when I was young.
But, the flavor did bring back the nostalgia of those days in the cafeteria. While I didn't have many friends to sit with, I still enjoyed spending time in the cafeteria.
I noticed that Hi-C is produced by Coca-Cola from its Minute Maid division of the company. I had no idea.
By the way, Capri Sun was the rival drink for Hi-C among children. In the US, Kraft Foods distributes it. But, Coca-Cola distributes it in the UK.
This was the Transformers lunch box I had. The Box art is based on the movie and third season of the show. And, the Thermo drawing is based on season one. Most of the characters on the thermo were pretty much dead by the third season
Vin: “I smell what you're cooking. It smells like White Castles.”
The Rock: “Actually, it's Krystal burgers.”

Five Fast trailer (5 Fast 5 Furious) (The Fast and Furious 5)
I like this second trailer. I just hope the movie recaptures the fun of the first two movies and not the dreary mood of the 4th movie. I think Vin and Paul wanted to move away from the franchise, but neither of them really became huge stars. I did like Vin's character from Riddick movies though.
The Rock looks very good in the film. He looks like he's back to his size when he was in WWE. Uh, wasn't the Rock in a movie called Faster?
Trailer 1
Paul: “We should have gotten Geico or progressive insurance”
He reveals a lot about his amazing work on the second trek film. I knew he was close friends with Trek composer Jerry Goldsmith, but I had no idea he actually sit in some of the recording sessions for Star Trek The Motion Picture. Some of he best can be heard in this score. The only problem I have with Horner is that he keeps re-using the cues from this score in many of his action films.
He worked on the sequel right after Goldsmith in the same manner that he did for Aliens behind Goldsmith's Alien score. He's also wrong about it not having any relation to the first film. He used the blaster beam in the same manner as Goldsmith did in first movie. He even uses it in nebula scenes, thus recalling the feel of V'ger.
His interview about Aliens score
Horner didn't have a good time scoring this film and had a breaking off with Cameron. He never fully finished the score the way he wanted to. Cameron and the producer didn't get along too well because of the last minute changes in the movie. They threatened to fired him, which was pretty mean. To be fair, Cameron had a hell of time filming the movie. He had hundreds of problems in production and post-production.
Horner patched things up with Cameron with Titanic and they worked on Avatar.
I really like Horner's score to Aliens. The sharp military beats are just plain fun to listen to. There are hints of Goldsmith's score thrown in for good measure too.
Keep in mind it is not an original score, but still entertaining.
Recently a few blogs have been discussing the video/poem posted by Yolo Akili entitled Are we the kind of boys we want? In between spoken word rhymes black gay men talk about what they look for in a man and answer whether or not they would date themselves.
So would I date me if I saw me walking down the street? And started to cry each time we meet (oops that's Dionne Warrick). Anyway, I'm not sure if I would. On the one hand, I'm 5'10 with a medium build (damn am I on Adam for Adam?) and a handsome guy if I do say so myself, so I'd definitely catch my eye on a physical level. I'm creative, smart, very giving, easy going and have a wicked sense of humor. But on the other hand, I can be moody at times and very reserved emotionally. Plus my intellectual curiosity can sometimes get the best of me, and I can be over analytical about things and get lost in my own head. I think I would need someone who is earthy, more outwardly emotional and straight forward to balance me out. So...I'd love to be close friends with me, but I'd don't think I'd date me.
With that said, this emphasis (or let's be real) obsession with masculinity in the black gay community is problematic. So many guys are in search of the straight-acting gay holy grail, that they're willing to dismiss anyone who doesn't fit that criteria, no matter how good they may be. And what the hell does straight-acting even mean really? My dad is one of the most masculine men I know, but he watches soap operas (The Bold And The Beautiful to be exact). One of my roommates in college was straight but was a theater and dance major. Another straight guy I know hardly ever drinks hard liquor but loves daiquiris instead, while another guy loves Patti Labelle, but he is straight (hard to believe but it's true:). My point being, straight men don't always "act straight" so why should we as gay men expect that of each other?
While I personally feel I sway between the masculine and feminine, my overall aura/energy is more masculine, so I do feel qualified to speak more from that perspective. I can say from personal experience that masculine guys do feel pressure from fem guys to be the "man" in the relationship. I've had men expect me to always pay their way when going out(and their bills-so didn't happen!) and go to work everyday while they play the woman's role. I don't get why we would want to imitate straight couples, when clearly isn't working for them! Even in my current relationship, there was pressure at beginning for me to be more aggressive, to take charge and play more of the alpha male role. But I made it clear that that's never been who I am. I can be aggressive when it comes to pursuing things I want, but being some controlling, wannabe homothug is so not the business.
I like to lift weights. But I also love to read books. I like Ice Cube, Naughty By Nature, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z, Marilyn Manson, Metallica, Slipknot and loads of other hip hop and hard rock. But I also love Madonna, Janet, Mary, Beyonce, Diana, Whitney and the rest of the diva brigade. I like Entourage, Menace To Society, Goodfellas, Diehard, American Pie, The 40-Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, Friday, Family Guy and any other assortment of gangster, gross out and/or action flicks. But I can laugh my ass off at and appreciate films like Paris Is Burning, Changeling, Mean Girls, Bring It On, The Notebook, Waiting To Exhale and Clueless.
I'm not some rough piece of trade that doesn't know that two plus two equals four. And I'm not a super femme queen who's sole purpose is to get their life in the club every weekend. I'm a whole human being, and so are other black gay men, be they more naturally masculine or feminine in nature. True, in any relationship each person is inevitably going to fall into some traditional roles. You may have an eye for interior design that your man doesn't. Or you may be more mechanical than he is, so you fix things around the house. But to resign ourselves to these cartoonish hypermasculine and hyperfeminine roles will only lead to disaster.
What's important in any relationship, be it gay or straight, is that the individuals in it are not trying to fulfill some fantasy for the other person, but are being loved and appreciated for who they are. On a side note, it would be interesting to find out if this same thing goes on in the lesbian community (i.e. an obsession with femininity). It probably doesn't, since women are allowed to cross gender norms in their appearance and personal interests in a way men aren't, regardless of their orientation.
Anyway, watch the video below, and tell me what you think.
Captain America: The First Avenger, directed by Joe Johnston and will be aired on July 22 this year will tell the early days of the Marvel Universe, when Steve Rogers volunteered to participate in an experiment. Tersebutlah experimental program that makes it super soldier or later we know as Captain America.
This film will be starring Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Tommy Lee Jones as Col.. Chester Phillips, Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull, Stanley Tucci as Dr.. Abraham Erskine, Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, and present also Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones and Dominic Cooper.
Finally we can see the footage is longer than "Captain America: The First Avenger" by trailer released today, just watch below.
Take a listen to the country road version of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." It's a stylistic departure that surprisingly works, ditching the disco stomp of the original for a bluesy, country rock throw down that retains the song's sassy edge. A good creative curve ball on what could've otherwise been a hot mess.
Latest Study in France mentioned, people with early baldness probably two times greater risk of prostate cancer later in life. Check out other interesting 10 facts about prostate cancer.
Here are 10 interesting facts referred to, as quoted by Health24. 1. One of the 10,000 men under the age of 40 develop prostate cancer, while one in eight people between the ages of 60-80 suffer from the disease.
2. For some reason that is not fully understood, the rate of prostate cancer among blacks is higher than other racial groups. Another fact, the higher the level of testosterone may be responsible.
3. Many men die with prostate cancer, but not because of prostate cancer.
4. Although not yet proven conclusively, it is estimated that a diet high in fat can trigger increased production of testosterone.
5. Lack of exercise can cause general body health deteriorated and make a person more vulnerable to all sorts of diseases, including prostate problems.
6. A man who three generations on it with prostate cancer, he was likely 10 times as likely to get prostate cancer.
7. Prostate takes time and male hormones to eventually develop into cancer. Testosterone does not cause prostate cancer, but it's very important for prostate cancer to develop.
8. Men whose mothers or sisters have developed breast cancer are also at risk of prostate cancer.
9. Because prostate cancer generally takes a long time to develop, many physicians choose to so-called "watchful waiting" as a treatment option.
10. In addition to surgical castration (a type of hormone therapy for prostate cancer) early on, which is obviously not an option notice it, there is no certain way to prevent prostate cancer.
If forgiveness is really not for the other person but really for you (i.e so you can let go of the negative feelings you have toward that person and not become consumed by bitterness, rage, hurt etc.) doesn't that make it a selfish act? Yes it could also affect the other person if they are still a part of you life, but if they've long since vanished after inflicting pain upon you, isn't forgiveness purely for your own benefit? Should we change Alexander Pope's saying to "To err is human. To forgive is self-serving?" Discuss.
~Lady Gaga defends Rebecca Black: Right, this is the one “artist” you want defending you. Gaga is still being accused of stealing songs from Madonna and that Korean group. Doesn't that make Rebecca Black's career legit? Nope, sorry, Gaga.
~Red Dawn being reviewed through crayon pictures: I loved it. I still remember watching RD as a child and wanted to hide out in the woods fighting Russians. The movie really isn't that inspirational because most of the teens die horrible deaths. I like this girl's swagger. I need to pick up RD.
~Speaking of Red Dawn, the remake is going through some major re-writes involving the villains. The film has been completed, but the villains were a Chinese invasion force. Now, probably realizing how big the movie market is in China, the producers might be changing the villains to North Koreans. Keep in mind this will be done in post-production. MGM threw in about 1 million to make the changes. That still doesn't mean the movie won't suck.
~The Room's director/writer/actor Tommy Wiseau might have not directed his Opus “The Room”: It looks like someone has come out of the woodwork to contend the directing credit for the horrible movie “The Room”. Sandy Schklair came on as a script keeper of sorts and Wiseau shoved into the directing chair because Wiseau had no idea what he was doing. I'd let this one pass, dude. I'd let Tommy take all the credit because the movie is total crap.
~Para-hawking: I want to try this. This is so cool. I'll take some non-birds of prey like a parakeet instead.
The legendary Elizabeth Taylor died this morning of congestive heart failure. She was 79.
Truth be told, I've never been into Elizabeth Taylor. Let's be honest, most people in my generation know her best for those White Diamonds commercials that still air occasionally, and less for roles like Cleopatra and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf. But I recognize a true Hollywood icon when I see one.
Moreover, she was one of the first major celebrities (even before my Grand Diva Madonna) to speak out forcefully about the AIDS crisis. She founded the American Foundation For Aids Research (Amfar) after the death of close friend Rock Hudson in 1985, and received a special Academy award for her tireless efforts in 1993.
As of 2000, she'd raised $120 million for both Amfar and The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.'I am on a crusade against Aids and I'll battle forever even after a cure is found,' she once said.
