Morning Piss: Media Types Gay-Bash, Just Like Brett Ratner!
Jesse Grant/WireImage.com
It's no wonder gay men and women are still having to fight for our rights (marriage being just one issue) in a country where established media outlets, such as the New York Post and the somewhat more conservative Los Angeles Times, heartily endorse anti-gay language.
Specifically, when both the Post and the Times reported on Brett Ratner's horrendous use of the f-word in Hollywood recently, each paper blithely reprinted the offensive language in the reporting of the story, quite unlike, say, The New York Times, which chose correctly to not again run the epithet in their reporting
What's up with that?

Dr. Robert Rey: "It Does Appear" Ali Lohan May Have Had Work Done

Ali Lohan's mom, Dina, and sister Lindsay, as well as her modeling reps, have all been super busy screaming that the emaciated and greatly altered Ali has not had any surgery.
Good to know, considering the girl's not even of age yet.
But Dr. Robert Rey, who's had decades of experience altering the young, famous and beautiful in Hollywood begs to differ:
Morning Piss: Did I Bully the Anti-Bullies?
www.itgetsbetter.org
Yesterday we gave a major thumbs up to the gorgeous hunk o' meat that is Alexander Skarsgård's "It Gets Better" PSA, but somebody ticked me off after that little article was sent off into Internet space.
No, I'm not pissed at the sexiest vamp on True Blood (in my humble oh-pinion), or what you said about him, or the stylist who covered up his abs.
Kinda pissed at myself.
Here's why:
Afternoon Piss! Why Won't Beyoncé Do an Album Redo?
Columbia Records Columbia Records
Say goodbye to Sasha Fierce and hello to Beyawncé.
That's who seems to be laying down tracks on Beyoncé's soon-to-be-released album, 4. It's no news that the album leaked forever ago, but now Page Six claims that B's peeps worry the album will bomb and have even tried to get her to rerecord some fresher tracks.
And must say, we think Beyoncé's a fool for not agreeing to it.
Morning Piss: Are Voices Like Olbermann and Gervais in Trouble?

Anybody know what happened to Keith Olbermann? Exactly.
It was like something out of a movie, when Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's resident cranky liberal pot-shot pundit, announced on his show last week that Friday's telecast would be his last—indeed, the silver-haired big head signed off complete with a cryptic reference to Peter Finch in Network, the movie that said it all about politics in ratings-warring TV corporate America.
And since then, conspiracy theories abound as to what happened—but, they're just that, theories. Olbermann and MSNBC are silent as LeAnn Rimes is about her boob job.
This sayonara to one of TV's most outspoken left-wing types comes right on the heels of Ricky Gervais getting killed for killing it at the Golden Globes.
Is something super-conservative in the air?
Morning Piss! Say Good-bye Already, Oprah!

We can handle a lot—trust, we lived through Gyllenspoon—but enough is enough.
We're finally fed up with some par-tick Hollywood nonsense. Yep, we're looking at you, Oprah. Is that not who you thought we'd be PO'd at today? Well, as much as we love the boisterous broad, we think her head is getting too big for even herself.
Shocker, huh?
When Will Annette Bening Catch a Break?
Focus Features
As if Annette Bening didn't have enough to worry about—dealing with trouble on the home front and navigating a press tour without the media poking its nose into her personal biz—she needs to get ready for another problem.
To quote the great Jay-Z, she's got 99 problems, and now Julianne Moore is one more.
Morning Bliss: Now John Mayer Can Abuse the Dudes!

Gotta say, Charlie, Margo and I are all so happy we moved to a new place, we decided to take a break from having a Morning Piss and be happy for a change! And what better way to celebrate than John Mayer (supposedly) taking leave from the ladies, woo-hoo!
The reason we're so ecstatic about the rather dubious news (Mayer's made this monastic claim before, remember)? Well...
Morning Piss: Booze Kills Too, You Idiots

Just like the world is increasingly banning smokers from all walks of public society (restaurants, building fronts, outdoor restaurants, whole cities, etc.), the movies sure are getting in on the act, too.
The CDC just released a report that states smoking in movies is down from previous years. And still, they're brainstorming for "strategies to eliminate smoking in major motion pictures."
Yes, smoking kills. It's a stupid habit, let's agree on that. And the CDC trots out the horrendous stats that prove this sad and well known fact.
But this fight really pisses me off:
Morning Piss: The Kids Are Alright, It's the Adults I'm Worried About
It's ironic that the Betty White-approved arena of Facebook is where I really saw how endemic this was becoming: When we posted those arguably red-hot sexy pics of the the naked True Blood stars on the cover of Rolling Stone, well, not everybody lapped it up with us:
