The fallout over the reprehensible remarks made by United States Representative Virginia Foxx of North Carolina intensified Thursday, one day after Foxx revised the circumstances of the anti-gay, hate-motivated murder of Matthew Shepard in a horribly misguided attempt to oppose the passing of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, named, more commonly, in honor and memory of the twenty-one Shepard killed in October, 1998, in Laramie, Wyoming. Wednesday, in Congress, Foxx said that the belief Shepard was killed because he was gay is a “hoax,” perpetuated in part to pass legislation designed to protect and strengthen the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered. Today, through a spokesperson, Foxx offered something like an apology, naturally blaming the media - ABC’s 20/20 to be precise – for suggesting that Matthew’s murder was an economic crime, not an anti-gay one.

The Brothers Manning – Eli and Peyton – and I need not say more.
Tudors star and fake heterosexual Jonathan Rhys Meyers wants you to know that he is not wild, preferring golf to partying, and that he did not, nor ever has been, in rehab. Okay?
