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...
Sony's banking on Spider Man 3. Literally. Some insiders claim the flick cost $300 million to produce. No doubt, however, it'll make it back. And then some.

Don Imus may have called them "nappy-headed hos", but the Rutgers Women's basketball team has agreed to have a little sit-down. We hope they give it to him good.
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?
21-year old Akino George has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the beating of gay singer, Kevin Aviance. Like his violent cohorts, George copped a plea. Smart fucker...

We reluctantly agreed to sit through Talladega Nights:The Ballad of Ricky Bobby last night — instead of, say, The Night Listener, where we've got Will & Grace hottie alum Bobby Cannavale going gay, again. On the assumption we'd get a Will Ferrell on the same comedic level of Old School and Anchorman, we grabbed our popcorn and leaned back (we were in one of the front rows, ugh!) and looked up, prepared to see NASCAR in a whole new way: funny. But we lost interest and nearly walked out as soon as Sacha Baron Cohen turned up to play Ferrell's French nemesis, the gay Jean Girard.
Unlike After Elton, which somehow managed to attach the word "hilarious" to its review, Cohen's role was anything but a welcome character foil. Try obnoxious, stale, flat, and – even within the wide-sweeping confines of humor – homophobic.
Talladega Nights reaches out to two main audiences: the Ferrell fans and the NASCAR watchers. Indeed, there's much overlap in this Venn diagram, and we understand gay jokes are the lowest common denominator. But at least producers could've made them, say, funny? Having Girard sip a macchiato while racing and have Perrier has his sponsor weren't just sad stabs at comedy; they were miserable displays of Hollywood's cheap understanding of gay humor. Even a slapstick Farrell offering could've reached further.
Even with the budget humor plays with the most historic portrayals of gay characters, the audience laughed together no more than three times during the entire movie — and at least two of those were during scenes when SNL alum Molly Shannon's character was drunk and passed out. As we wished we were from start to finish line.
