Vancouver Gay Basher Gets Seventeen Month Sentence For Hate Crime, Shelby Lynne Could Be The Celebrity Coming Out Next Week, Ellen Page Joins Tilda, Lost Ending Likely To Frustrate, Arthur Sales Butches Up, Bruce Weber. Channing Tatum, Tom Brady And Son John Edward Play Date

Michael Kandola, the 22 year old Vancouver, British Columbia man who pled guilty to gay bashing Jordan Smith, was sentenced Friday to seventeen months in jail, B.C. Supreme Court Judge Joel Groves saying that the attack qualified as a hate crime. Kandola, who was 20 years old at the time, attacked Smith who was walking along a downtown Vancouver street hand-in-hand with another man. Smith, then 27 years old, suffered substantial injuries, including a broken jaw after Kandola sucker punched him. Both Smith and witness said Kandola uttered a series of homophobic slurs prior to and during the attack. Judge Joel Groves categorized Kandola’s actions as cowardly, vicious, and unprovoked, and said that his hated of homosexuals was a motivating factor in the attack. Despite objections from the Crown, Kandola will earn credit for the five months he has already spent in jail, and will therefore spend twelve more months in jail, if he serves the full sentence.

As previously posted, May 5th is not merely Cinco de Mayo, it is the day that a certain celebrity will come out via People magazine, and the odds on favourite to date – Shelby Lynne.

Ellen Page has joined the cast of HBO’s Tilda, starring Dianne Keaton as Tilda Watski, a character so obviously based on blogger Nikki Finke that there are rumours Finke will threaten to sue. The show, though, has a great pedigree and is said to make Entourage (which I loathe) and its purported examination of life in Hollywood look like Hannah Montana.

Damon Lidelof, one of co-creators of Lost, says that the show’s ending will likely prove frustrating to viewers, raising more questions than are answers, which is a polite way of saying that the writers, um, lost track of the original story.
