James Franco Allegedly Attacks Photographer
Here’s more on James Franco again, and I’m a little surprised because he always seems so calculated and in control…cunning in a brilliant way, as if you have to watch his every move and be a few steps ahead.
Allegedly, Franco was at an event in Hollywood that was being held in some graveyard and on his way out he tackled a photographer on the grass. There are photos circulating that show Franco smiling as if it’s all a joke. I searched a few “reputable” sources online, about as reputable as you can get online these days, and found this.
The cameraman, however, is not the least bit amused even if the tackling was supposed to be all in good fun. He went down to a LAPD station the following morning, at which time he filed a report against the actor for what he had done. The report details the man’s claims that he had been injured following his fall, suffering a minor injury to his back based on the way he had fallen. He also alleges that his camera equipment had been damaged during the incident, and is no longer usable in the same manner thanks to Franco’s actions. Police authorities have since given the statement to popular gossip website TMZ that they plan on passing the case onto the appropriate detectives as of next week, who will do their best to inquire further into the situation and see if amends need to be made on the Franco’s part.
You can read more here. Several other articles out there mention a few other incidents Franco has had with the law. And this one goes on to mention another privileged celebrity and his incident with a photographer.
Obama on Gay Marriage
Whether you like President Obama or not, one thing remains certain: he’s good with the social issues that most politicians just tend to ignore. And anything gay related is up there in the top ten of the issue ignoring list. This time the President recently commented on gay marriage, and how he believes it should be legal in all 50 states according to the constitution.
He described it as a ‘consequential and powerful signal of the changes that have taken place in society and that the law is having to catch up’.
Obama, who first said he ‘evolved’ on gay marriage in May 2012, said the high court was ‘not quite ready’ to ‘indicate an equal-protection right across the board’.
‘Ultimately, I think the Equal Protection Clause does guarantee same-sex marriage in all 50 states,’ he said.
It seems, as gay marriage moves forward in all 50 states, it’s coming down to religion vs civil rights. I think anyone running for office these days should pay attention and listen closely. The gay vote doesn’t always go in the same direction, especially not with younger gay men.
Robert Downey Jr’s Penis
Try to imagine this. An actor, Robert Downey Jr., is invited to speak at a prestigious university, Cambridge, to a highly select group at the university, and one of those students of the entitlement generation ask Downey how large his penis is. And better, the rest of them laugh and giggle. I have a sense of humor that goes beyond most people these days, and I’m not fond of the PC police at all, but I do think there should be a certain amount of respect shown to any speaker in all situations like this…without question.
In any event, Downey replied very well:
They don’t call me throbbing knob for nothing. His expression is priceless. Someone else might have gone after the kid.
You can see a video of the reply here. If anyone had asked a woman this same question about her vagina it would have been blasted all over the Internet and social media as misogynist, anti-feminist, and hate speech toward all woman. Jennifer Lawrence would never let you hear the end of it. Shouldn’t it work the same way for men in similar awkward positions?
Speaking to The New Yorker, Obama said the best Supreme Court decisions since he took office was the recent rejection of gay marriage appeals from five states.
He described it as a ‘consequential and powerful signal of the changes that have taken place in society and that the law is having to catch up’.
Obama, who first said he ‘evolved’ on gay marriage in May 2012, said the high court was ‘not quite ready’ to ‘indicate an equal-protection right across the board’.
‘Ultimately, I think the Equal Protection Clause does guarantee same-sex marriage in all 50 states,’ he said.
