Indie pop star Matt Zarley asks if a Presidential candidate can survive a gay sex scandal.

Danny Rose was looking for a memorable way to propose to his boyfriend. So he wrote this song and created a music video to go with it.

"I started writing the song in December and took me a month to complete," he said.  "Then I prepped the music video for a few weeks and shot it all in one day.

"After the video I got down on one knee and asked him to make me the happiest person in the world and spend his life with me! He said 'of course' and it was a great moment. But wanted to watch the video again 30 more times. There are a lot of inside jokes and even some wardrobe choices in there [related] to experiences in our history [together]."

Rose has even made this song available through iTunes. He will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to marriage equality charities.

"I think it's important for folks to see the faces of gay marriage," Rose added. "I am not in the music business. I just wanted to do a project for my proposal that was a mixture of music and comedy which is very much the way we live our lives."

Now if we could only figure out a way to clone him ...

Well, color us shocked. A British tabloid report that Mickey Rourke was pulling out of the Gareth Thomas biopic seems to have been more fiction than fact.

Thomas said yesterday that reports Rourke was going to be replaced are "way off the mark."

"Any notion that Mickey is giving up on the role are way off the mark. We'd love Tom Hardy to be involved, but he will not be playing me," Thomas said. "I teamed up with Mickey because in my opinion there's nobody better to take on such a challenging role and nothing has changed there. He's so motivated by the role it's blown me away.

"I'm an ex-rugby player, films are Mickey's world and I totally trust in his vision for the film."

And there you have it. Rourke is in. Hardy is out. (Until the story changes again tomorrow ...)

The man behind Dame Edna, Barry Humphries, has announced that it's time to hang up the purple wig. At 78, he would like to spend more time painting and writing.

"Look, the fact of the matter is that I'm beginning to feel a bit senior," he said.

Not that he doesn't still enjoy playing Edna: "I love it and it's healthy for me. It's the best aerobics you could do, leaping around on stage, but it's gruelling when there are other things to do."

The good news: "Edna will crop up on television, I guess, but not in a live show," he promised.

He is currently planning a new stage show, and said it will be the last time to see Dame Edna live. This also means the end of other fan favorites like Sir Les Patterson and Sandy Stone.

Madonna has released a video teaser for her upcoming album. And some of the images are hot ...

A documentary designed to make young people consider how truly harmful bullying can be has been rated R by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America). This means no one under 17 can see Bully without an adult. It also means the documentary cannot be shown in American schools.

The reason for the rating? The use of six naughty words. An R rating is given to any movie if people swear more than once (a single nasty f-bomb is okay).

The MPAA defended its decision, saying the rating system gives parents the information they want; surveys suggest parents care deeply about strong language and want to be warned about its presence in movies.

The rating is not sitting well with supporters of the movie.

"Today, with the help of more than 200,000 people who have signed my Change.org petition, we sent a loud and clear message to the MPAA that the movie Bully shouldn't be given an R rating," said Katy Butler,a 15-year-old trying to get the rating changed. "Every day in every middle school and high school in America, students are bullied. This movie, if given a PG-13 rating, could reach those students as well as bullies themselves and help put a stop to the epidemic of school bullying in our country. The MPAA should pay attention."

Even Ellen got into the debate ...

Got $425? You can join the Mile High Club.

For almost 20 years, Flamingo Air has been letting couples experience the often talked about, but seldom joined, club. And the Ohio company does its best to make your sky high sexual encounter as romantic as possible, by providing champagne, chocolates and a comfortable, curtained spot by the cockpit.

"To the best of our knowledge, we are the only ones who offer it in the U.S. as a business," said Dave MacDonald, 65, who runs the program with his wife. "We were on CNN yesterday and the story is running in the U.K. now."

Flights are avilable seven days a week, but only during daylight hours.

"I've had champagne corks hit the back of the curtain and my head," MacDonald said. "I had a high heel in my ear one time. I can tell you stories from now until the cows come home, but generally what goes on back there, I have no idea."

We're sure he also has horror stories about cleaning up after each flight. 

Right wing Christian group One Million Moms (who, at last check, boasted less than 1,200 twitter followers) has kindly asked that people stop shopping at Toys'R'Us. The issue: the chain is undermining America's youth by selling the Life with Archie comic that features gay Kevin's same-sex marriage.

"A trip to the toy store turns into a premature discussion on sexual orientation and is completely uncalled for," said a statement on the group's website. "Toys 'R' Us should be more responsible in the products they carry.

"The front cover reads 'Just Married' with two men marrying and one is wearing a service uniform." Gasp!

Toys'R'Us has yet to issue a response to the complaint, but the CEO of Archie Comics had something to say.

“We stand by Life with Archie #16," said John Goldwater. "As I’ve said before, Riverdale is a safe, welcoming place that does not judge anyone. It’s an idealized version of America that will hopefully become reality someday. We’re sorry the American Family Association/OneMillionMoms.com feels so negatively about our product, but they have every right to their opinion, just like we have the right to stand by ours.

"Kevin Keller will forever be a part of Riverdale, and he will live a happy, long life free of prejudice, hate and narrow-minded people.“

This same group received so much backlash when they tried to get Ellen DeGeneres dumped from JC Penney's new ad campaign, that it had to disable comments on its Facebook page. We assume One Thousand, Two Hundred Moms finds it much easier going after comic book characters instead of real people who can actually fight back.

Christopher Plummer, now 82 years old, won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor last night for his role in Beginners. He played Hal Fields, a widower who reveals to his son (Ewan McGregor) that he is both gay and has terminal cancer. This is the actor's first Oscar.

He was considered the front runner for the award, especially after picking up trophies for the role at the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the BAFTA Awards.

“Gay characters are human beings,” he said after his win at the Golden Globes last month. “We're all exactly the same. That's the reason I played it the way I did, not as a caricature. They're a part off our society since the Egyptians, the Greeks – it's part of the human condition.”

If you haven't seen Beginners yet, put in it on your "to watch" list. It's a great movie, and Ewan McGregor is always easy to look at.
  

Logo, the gay cable channel, announced it was shifting its programming focus with new series and development deals that reflect gays and lesbians' increasing integration into mainstream culture. In other words, they are moving away from shows with gay leads.

"Our goal at Logo has always been to honestly reflect our viewers' lives," said Lisa Sherman, Executive Vice President of Logo. "We're now reinforcing our commitment to them with programming that truly mirrors how many of them are living and want to be entertained today."

This includes Eden Wood's World, which follows the life of six-year-old Eden from Toddlers and Tiaras. And Wiseguys, about a woman running her own business while hoping to pull away from her family's mob past, with a gay son thrown in for good measure. We mustn't forget Design My Dog, a studio-based, reality-competition show that tests the creative talents of dog owners and their canine companions. It's the type of gay-friendly programming for which we've all been waiting.

"These new projects are anchored by stories that go deep into today's world: Eden Wood has already accomplished more than most of us will in our entire lives. ... Families in business together during a recession could be the ultimate drama. And pets are now surrogate children for a lot of people -- who go to great lengths to celebrate them," said Brent Zacky, Senior Vice President, Original Programming.

“They’re only developing shows with non-gay leads," said a former Logo staffer. "They are trying to be Bravo -- a gay best friend -- as opposed to just being gay."

Joe Del Hierro, producer of Transamerican Love Story and The Big Gay Sketch Show says its all about money. “They need to appeal to a broader audience to get the numbers up, so they can charge more for ad revenues," he said. "It’s what Bravo did in its early years.”

Branching out makes sense, but dog grooming and pageant kids? That just stinks of desperation (and a lack of creativity).

Check out the debut of Xelle‘s newest single, “Invincible.” It was designed as an anthem for queer and questioning youth.

The group has pledged to donate the proceeds from the single to GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network). "We’ll be putting that to work in our efforts to ensure schools are safe for every student, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression," explained Brian G. Murphy, online strategies manager at GLSEN.

India's Crown Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil of Rajpipla made headlines when in 2006 he announced that he was gay.

He was disowned and disinherited by his father (who, it should be noted, has since apologized to his son). He was burned in effigy by his countrymen. Many Indians demanded he lose his royal title.

"I knew that they would never accept me for who I truly am, but I also knew that I could no longer live a lie," he has said about his decision to be open about his sexuality. "I wanted to come out because I had gotten involved with activism and I felt it was no longer right to live in the closet. I came out as gay to a Gujarati daily because I wanted people to openly discuss homosexuality since it’s a hidden affair with a lot of stigma attached."

Now 47, Prince Manvendra is back in the spotlight. He is appearing in TLC’s new show Undercover Princes. In the four-part series, which started last night, he joins two other real-life princes who head to England, pose as commoners, and hope to find true love. 

Prince Manvendra pretended to be a cleaner for the show.

"It was a very challenging thing for me because I was supposed to do things which I don’t do normally back in India," he explained. "I mean something like clean the house or, you know, doing up the room or cleaning up the toilets — what they expected on the show. I had to keep telling myself again and again that I am undercover and not supposed to reveal my true identity."

Does he finally find love? You'll have to tune in to find out!
