Is Taylor Lautner gay new Twilight Hollywood debate?

[Jun. 8]

Is Taylor Lautner gay? There has been a great deal of buzz surrounding Taylor Lautner and the kiss at the MTV Awards planted on him by Twilight costar Robert Pattinson. Few believe either one is gay, what with Robert Pattinson coming out as dating costar Kristen Stewart. The pair of course are the star couple in the hit series as vampire Edward Cullen and human Bella Swan (to be married in Breaking Dawn, the latest in the Twilight series). But Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black has been left surprisingly alone throughout the Twilight series. This leads a lot of people to wonder if the character as well as the actor might actually be gay, despite claims to the contrary. On TwilightBlog, there was an entertaining April Fool’s fake interview with Taylor Lautner, in which he purportedly admitted that he was gay. Of course, that has continued to spark rumors about the 19-year-old’s lack of a love interest. Is he really just too busy with work to have a girlfriend? For a character competing with Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen for the love of Bella Swan, one would think Lautner, chiseled as he is, by now would have a girlfriend everyone knew about. But nope. And what is more, there are still people who love the Twilight movie actors Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson who still believe the two men never kissed — and that the viral videos and photos of them in a lip lock in front of a live studio audience at the MTV Movie Awards 2011 are really fake! But no, Twihards — RPatz did plant a big ‘ole smooch right on the lips of his sexy Twink friend in front of God, the television views, and even Kristen Stewart that evening of the very special popcorn awards date.

James Arness, Amanda Blake, and John Wayne Hollywood American heroes as star celebs in Westerns?

[Jun. 5]

Gunsmoke was a popular television series based on life in the Wild, Wild West that aired from 1955 to 1975. Recently deceased actor James Arness played the lead role Marshal Matt Dillon, while his love interest Miss Kitty was played by the lovely red headed actress Amanda Blake. The Marshal’s assistant was named Chester, a character played by actor Dennis Weaver. He won an Emmy for playing that role; however, when he left the show, the beloved and quirky character of Festus Haggen took over as a TV show favorite, a part that was played by a well-respected theater actor named Ken Curtis. Actor Milburn Stone played the character called Doc. TV shows back in the day featured complex plots with simple story line development, so viewers were engaged with the show on both an individual episode and long-term series level. Gunsmoke originally aired on CBS television, but is now a television show most would look to find as re-runs on cable network television stations or that folks would seek to buy on DVD to watch with their kids and grandkids. Why? Because during the time Gunsmoke aired the show sought to promote good morals. People lived off the land in a more sustainable way with respect for the environment. Relationships were less complex and the focus in daily life was placed on community harmony. There was a clearer sense of right and wrong the TV show portrayed back in the day — something noticeably from many modern television series. For that reason, many of the star celebs who became household names thanks to cast members earning 4 Golden Globes nominations and 3 Emmy Awards are looked upon as American pop culture heroes.

God decided the right time for Dr. Jack Kevorkian to die?

[Jun. 3]

Dr. Death Jack Kevorkian was a humanitarian who didn’t choose assisted suicide for himself? In an Associated Press report, the Washington Post shared very real trivia that Dr. Jack Kevorkian had claimed to have assisted at least 130 people commit suicide. “Those outraged by what he did accused him of being unethical and playing God.” However, in the case of Jack Kevorkian and his celebrity death, it seems God decided the right time to take him. Jack Kevorkian, known as Dr. Death for his right-to-die advocacy, has died. Kevorkian who was an unapologetic supporter of assisted suicide, died at age 83 early Friday morning at William Beaumont Hospital, a Detroit area hospital in Royal Oak. Kevorkian had been hospitalized for kidney and respiratory problems, according to the Huffington Post. Surprisingly, in spite of his advocacy for assisted suicide, he did not take that option himself. “It’s not necessarily murder,” Kevorkian told Mike Wallace in a recent celebrity interview for television. “But it doesn’t bother me what you call it. I know what it is…” said the convicted felon. Dr. Jack Kevorkian had been nicknamed Dr. Death, following a string of assisted suicide cases in the 1990s. While Kevorkian had been acquitted on murder charges for several of the assisted suicide cases, he ultimately wound up in prison on a 10 to 15 year prison sentence for second degree murder. He served eight of those years and had been released from jail as a celebrity senior citizen and cult folk hero back in 2007.
