Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

Robbie Williams may have ditched Take That! to embrace his bad boy image, but some are saying the recently rehabbed singer's mulling a musical reunion. Um, is that supposed to be a career booster or a death rattle?

Michelle Williams

Michelle heath Brokeback

Michelle Williams blew us away with her Oscar-nominated performance in Brokeback Mountain. Like everyone else, we had a lump in our throats when Jack & Ennis passionately kiss during their first reunion. Alma's immediate reaction to the lip lock was far more moving. But not everyone felt that way about her performance. Take, for example, Michelle's former Christian headmaster, Jim Hopson:

"We don't want to have anything to do with her in relation to that movie,” said Hopson, who turned down a request from a Union-Tribune reporter to visit the school and chat with students about the movies and one of their own being up for an Academy Award.

“Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution. We would not approve of her movies and TV shows (including the teen drama “Dawson's Creek”). We'd not like to be tied to 'Brokeback Mountain.'
Yes because the first thing moviegoers will think of while leaving the theater after a screening of the film is a small Christian school in San Diego County.

We now understand why Michelle moved Heath and their baby across the country to Brooklyn; To get away from the loyal, tolerant, and Jesus-like love of Dopson.

The Oscars are going to be one big Brokeback party: Heath, Jake, Michelle, Ang have all been nominated. The film also got a best picture nod and leads the pack with 8 total nominations. So whether you loved it or not, all this Brokeback talk is sticking around a bit longer.

brokeback

Looks like this is going to be the year of the gay cowboy. Brokeback Mountain has earned 7 Golden Globe nominations. We feel that Jake and Anne Hathaway were robbed though. Beautiful and subtle nuances existed in both their performances that were not as obvious as in Michelle and Heath’s characters. It is a shame the Hollywood Foreign Press did not see what we saw.

Regardless, it’s a big day for the gays. Woohoo Cowboy!
