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?

Allegedly Got Nutty with Knife

willisH.jpg
Former Village People vocalist Victor Willis has found himself on the wrong-side of the law. The man better known as "the cop" has been arrested for allegedly choking his girlfriend and threatening her with a knife. The charge comes just one month after Willis - a recovering drug addict - got nabbed for a similar charge, NME reports:

Village People member Victor Willis has been arrested in San Diego after an alleged knife attack.

The woman, reportedly Willis' girlfriend, told police that he had choked her and threatened her with a knife on [March 23].

Police said that he had been out on bail on a similar charge last month

Um, we know Willis used to be married to Phylicia Rashad and all, but are we the only ones surprised to hear he has a lady-friend?

Randy Jones

With the noise being made about Brokeback Mountain may we remind you of the original gay cowboy: Randy Jones. The cowboy from the Village People recently chatted with Bradford Shellhammer about playing God, the Pet Shop Boys, and those other cowboys, Jake and Heath.

What is it like playing God?
As opposed to WHAT? (smile)

Tell us about the new plays?
I'm having a ball playing God in Sodom: The Musical. There's nothing like having all the power and playing the multi-male-plus roles in I Wanna Be Rosie at LaMaMa sure keeps an actor on his toes. Getting cast as God was typecasting, getting cast as George Clooney is hype-casting, and getting cast as Marlene Dietrich...well, that's just pipe-casting!

How did the idea for the Village People come together?
I believe it to have been a Halloween nightmare of a couple of Frenchmen, Henri Belolo and Jacques Morali. And God is thanked for the experience!

Randy dishes on Jake and Heath after the jump.
