Falling Behind On The Real World. HIV Testing. Kanye West. Mike Myers Being Gay? Katy Perry Being Shitty.

I am now officially two weeks behind on the Real World Hollywood. How  this happened is beyond me. Maybe its because the two biggest stars of this season have left. Maybe.

Maybe its because the Celtics won the NBA Finals.

Maybe its because I’m running a 5K today.

Maybe its because there has been so much entertaining sports news lately.

I read a nice article this morning in the New York Times about free HIV testing throughout the Bronx. Seems like a great idea.

Actually, no, it seems like such an obviously GREAT idea that it is absolutely absurd that HIV testing IS NOT ALREADY just part of standard blood work for people whenever they visit a clinic, ER, doctor…etc.

I understand that the costs of tests has gone down dramatically over the last decade, but still, the article mentions its about $12 a test now. This should really just be a standard. It doesn’t need to be a religious/socio-economic thing. Just make it a medical standard. Thanks.

Kanye West went apeshit crazy over the whole Bonnaroo fallout. Kanye, I’m not “trying 2″ plot your downfall. But you can take a lesson from me and USE CAPS SPARINGLY!!!!

Here is the back story to people generally hating on him.

If you read both sides, he still seems like a a whiny brat. He has some good songs. The stage looks pretty cool and I’ve heard the tour is great. But I never condone people going on 3+ hours late with no explanation beforehand/during or immediately following the performance. If what he says is true, he should have come out after Pearl Jam got cleared away and told the crowd that if they wanted him to do his real Glow In The Dark tour thing it was going to take a couple of hours to set up. He could have even said something like “I can do a regular show and be ready in an hour or do a crazy good show and be ready by 6:00 a.m.” and asked the crowd to vote. But that shit didn’t occur to him. So he deserves the flack.

Mike Myers is apparently gay. Or supposedly gay.

“The Love Guru” is still a fate worse than death.

And Katy Perry, whose name I have seen on iTunes apparently used to be a christian singer. But her label decided to get her all sex’d up to sell some records (or maybe some iTunes singles…?).

The funny thing is, I can see this type of thing working like in the 80’s when people actually cared about shit. Why does it even matter? She should still be hyper-Christian and sell records looking all skanky and singing about sex. Hell, that might make for an EVEN BIGGER cash cow. America’s heartland loves Christian girls gone bad.
