Ryan Murphy Calls For Newsweek Boycott, Eric Dane Has Tiny Legs, Orlando Bloom Beauty, Taylor Lautner, Young Man Takes Lady Gaga To School And Then Some

Ryan Murphy has joined the growing ranks of those condemning Ramin Setoodeh’s spectacularly stupid Newsweek article arguing gay actors cannot play straight, but straight actors can play gay. Murphy, co-creator of Glee, has written an open letter, following the lead of Kristen Chenoweth, Murphy contending that the “article is as misguided as it is shocking and hurtful. It shocks me because Mr. Setoodeh is himself gay. But what is the most shocking of all is that Newsweek went ahead and published such a blatantly homophobic article in the first place ... and has remained silent in the face of ongoing (and justified) criticism. Would the magazine have published an article where the author makes a thesis statement that minority actors should only be allowed and encouraged to play domestics? I think not.” Ryan goes much further than that, asking GLAAD to ask for an “immediate boycott of Newsweek magazine until an apology is issues to Sean Haynes and other brave out actors who were cruelly singled out in this damaging, needlessly cruel, and mind-blowingly bigoted piece. An apology should also be issued to all gay readers of the magazine ... steelworkers, parents, accountants, doctors, etc ... proud hardworking American who, if this article is to be believed, should only identify themselves as “queeny” people (a word used by Setoodeh in the article) who stand at the back of the bus and embrace an outdate decades old stereotype.”

Eric Dane spotted in Italy shirtless – hot – and in shorts – not – owing to his abnormally teeny, tiny, legs.

Orlando Bloom seen out and about in West Hollywood Tuesday seriously sexy despite being fully clothed.

Taylor Lautner spotted in Tuesday as well, in Los Angeles shopping at the Nike store, again, smoking sexy despite being fully clothed.

A sixth grader steals the show (you can see the stunned reaction of the audience when he starts to sing) performing a version of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi that is actually better than the original, schooling Gaga, "teaching her a lesson."
