Anita Bryant lives on as Florida vows to officially replace Colorado as “The Hate State”.

Movies and TV shows filmed in the Sunshine State receive a tax credit, except now there is a move to exclude any that are judged as containing “non-traditional family values”.

You know, anything having to do with druggies, prossies, drunks or fags.

Current exclusions include depictions of smoking, sex, nudity and/or profanity, fuck you very very much.

Yet another grassroots attempt by conservative hate-mongers to use laws to solidify their prejudices.

I think I’ll go expose myself to my orange juice now, just to get even!

Lady Gaga is basically a lesson in iconography and yummy food for thought, as seen in the Lady Gaga cookies created by her “Little Monsters” during the North American leg of her “Fame Monster Ball Tour”.

Take a closer look below to see which Lady look inspired which Gaga goody:

If you could bake a Lady Gaga cookie of your own, which one of her infectious pop songs will be your muse?

Seems like only yesterday when one of figure skating’s aging bad boys, Lloyd Eisler unceremoniously dumped his pregnant wife for his reality TV show “Skating with Celebrities” co-star and former vampire slayer, Kristy Swanson.

Well, it seems like it’s that time of year again, as aging Olympic Gold Medalist and star of British TV reality show “Dancing on Ice”, Christopher Dean dumps his wife of 16 years for a judge on the show.

1990 World Champion, and 3 time US Champion figure skater Jill Trenary, Dean’s second spouse and mother of his two sons, will have to pack up her gold medals and go, to make way for a third Mrs Dean.

It seems the real passion (and sleaze) happens off ice, and off camera, whenever reality TV and skating hook up.

ABC, the idiots who just robbed much of the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area of The Oscars broadcast, are working on another go at the show, this time potentially and unimaginatively named “Skating with the Stars”.

The cast has yet to be named, but philandering middle-aged husbands with their own pair of skates should heed the casting call if they want to get some layback time with scantily clad female celebs willing to learn new tricks.

I nominate Sasha Zhulin and Nikolai Morozov.

As for cheating Chris, this move doesn’t garner a 6.0 at my judge’s table. Just the image of him bustin a move while “Bolero” plays on the 8-tack in the background, makes me want to run for the brain bleach.

Co-authorship and collaboration are always a little sticky, especially when involving close friends or romantically linked couples.

This very issue was at the forefront when SABR (the Society for American Baseball Research) chose to include Dorothy Jane Mills in their Hall of Fame as co-author of her husband’s famous scholarly works on the sport.

History has always dwelled on the cliche of the good woman behind every great man, but how many of these good women will someday become acknowledge as not having been behind, but beside their men?

Who knows, maybe it was Jackie who wrote “Profiles in Courage”?
