> Best denial ever? Michael Stipe confirms his REM bandmates are totally straight. (I mean. Obviously. Just look at them!) Also he thinks you should have read his coming out interview in Time magazine years ago.
> Two dudes from Cobra Starship and one from Panic at the Disco took a stroll on a Florida beach before playing a Spring Break gig -- I know, that sounds like the opening to a really awesome gay joke. Except how, according to Cobra's Ryland Blackinton:
A girl saw me walking by and shouted, "Nice tights faggot!" The deepness of her profoundly intelligent outburst weighed heavy on my mind. The true 'kicker' was that the girl had paid money for a ticket to see our band but was unaware that I was a member of it. Alex and Spencer's clothes yielded similar responses. All seasoned with clever words like, "faggot" and "homo." Most of these same dudes asked to have pictures with us in the parking lot after the show. Things that make you go hmmm.
At least the assholes were the butt of the joke?
> "Get some man clothes on," lectures one awful mom on Wife Swap to her temporarily adopted son who prefers skinny jeans and nail polish. Then she makes him wrestle with other boys to prove...something. I hope whatever stupid compensation the parents get for subjecting their children to this kind of bullshit ends up in their college account.
> Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz announced a major deal with Nordstrom's to distribute his clothing line. "Technically they will be hanging in the young women's area, but personally I make these clothes as if they are unisex," Wentz said. If you'd like to buy the CD/DVD the department store is also offering, you should know that apparently it's only offered in one color ("Pete Wentz") and, they promise, one size fits all.
> My friend Phoebe Reilly at Spin asked Panic's Ryan Ross about their very "playful" onstage antics and whether they were "toying with the idea of bisexuality." Ross charitably laid responsibility at his singer's feet, explaining that "Brendon [Urie] just likes to make a scene sometimes."
