Here we go again! The gay media watchdogs over at GLAAD are bent out of shape because Will Smith's titular character in Hancock uses the word "homo." Thrice!!

At approximately 24 minutes into the film, while Jason Bateman’s PR whiz works to rehabilitate the superhero’s tarnished image, he shows Hancock three comic book images in an effort to inspire him. But Hancock rejects the traditional image of costumed superheroes as he responds to each one: “Homo. Homo in red. Norwegian homo.”

The audience is prompted to laugh and there is no response to or retribution for Hancock’s remarks. Bateman’s character, the father of a young son, could have easily spoken up instead of giving Hancock a pass.
…
Rated PG-13, Hancock is being marketed to families, teens and young adults. This film certainly presents an opportunity for parents to explain to their kids that the usually entertaining character of Hancock is not modeling good behavior. But let’s get real: Hancock’s use of the slur sends a problematic message that it’s okay to discriminate using such hateful words.

But, wait, isn't the point that Hancock's being a repulsive prick? Isn't, as GLAAD admits, the superhero showing kids exactly what not to do? If so, isn't that praise worthy?

Actress Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin have been married for eleven years. Despite the longevity of their marriage, many still speculate that Martin and Will Smith - who's married to Jada Pinkett Smith - are secret lovers. Here's what they had to say about all the gossip:

Essence.com: Bloggers even wrote that Duane and longtime friend Will Smith are an item?

T.M.: (Laughs) Our theory is that it’s really a slave mentality. Whenever the Black community has leaders, potential leaders or a family unit, we emasculate them. You don’t ever see them do that to Ben Affleck or Matt Damon. They can be friends, and be powerful individually or collectively and do amazing things.

D.M.: It’s a Brat Pack when White people do it.

Essence.com: So how is it different when it comes to Black men?

T.M.: When two brothers are successful or have influential and powerful friends, we have to emasculate them. On the real, we even did it to Oprah and Gayle.

On the real, we still think Will Smith's gay.

It was a hodge podge of Who's Who in Hollywood last night as A-listers and Blisters came together in welcoming David and Victoria Beckham to America.

Super clique Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Becks, Posh, Jada and Will Smith led the crowd into Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art. The not-as-selective-as-we-imagined guest list included a big looking Lil Kim, Little Britain's Matt Lucas, Eva Pigford, Eva Longoria, Posh's fellow Spice Girl, Mel B, Stevie Wonder and, for some reason, Jon Voight.
