Last night's season finale was terrible. There, I said it.

The Voice of the Night

Though renewed, Smash is to receive a reduction in its license fee. In addition to a reduced budget. So four actors had to be let go to free up some room in the budget. Raza Jaffrey, Jaime Cepero, Brian d'Arcy James and Will Chase will not return for the second season of the musical series. Money has been made available to add a new gay character (from Brooklyn) on the show to be a sounding board to Karen's character now that she is single.

On the thread about how you'd make your own porn film, several people listed how they wanted to have actors who were more committed and better sexual performers (more into it) more than anything else. I wonder who people think are the best at this--not necessarily the best looking or the most attractive, but the most into their scenes. Two never-fail guys for me are Adam Killian and Matt Cole. They are almost always hard, and they always seem like they're deeply into their partners when they perform and are 100% committed. Killian, in particular, amazes me--he seems to get completely that every second he's on camera he's got to be putting on the best show possible. He knows how to show off his body to his best advantage all the time, and he also knows how to focus entirely on his scene partner.

Sources speculate that it was suicide, according to radar.com. It's so sad, after all of her battles with alcoholism.

You are over. You are no longer relevant and will not be worshiped any longer. You wore out your welcome and we are tired of you. Please go away.

Why on earth are all of these guys fooling around with him? His hair is absolutely atrocious!

I''m going to go with Mike from You Bet Your Garden. I detect Philly, but more than that he seems to speak forced perky. \ \ Other than that, he really seems to know his stuff and I like him but something about his voice grates on me big time.\ \ And I''m from Philly (suburbs), but I don''t sound like that.

Should she have just gone the Britney/Xtina route and shook her ass onstage? Do you think she regrets taking the goody-girl route now?

If so why would you choose a career like that? Did you just fall into being an accountant? Or did you decide to pursue a career as an accountant? Share your stories here, as it would be interesting to hear from gay accountants.

I am in my mid-forties, and I haven't had a date since Moses was a juvenile delinquent . I have a good job which takes a lot of work- but not enough to get in the way of a good date. I have a good life, and healthy , smart friends. I like a lot of different things. I feel like a good bottle of wine- although aged. But I can't seem to meet a ghost. So I watch a great deal of porn. And would gladly give it up for some great conversation with a good guy and half- decent sex. But, in the words of Peggy Lee, " Is that all there is ?" Work, friends, my dog and Internet Porn? After awhile it becomes a bore- bland, boring and bad. Should I hire an escort? My stupid Catholic sensibilities tell me that's wrong, but my dick claims so is everything else. Aren't I just hiring sex by watching porn? Gay life should be better than this. No kids, no PTA, no school plays, no Little League. Why work this hard to find out your right hand has been doing all the thinking?

Anytime someone is driving a car and makes a sharp turn, the tires squeal, even if they're not going at high speeds. Anytime someone pulls away from the curb quickly, the tires squeal, even if the tires are not spinning in place. Every you're in the Great Outdoors, you'll hear the scream of a Red-tailed Hawk (always the same stock sound effect), even if one is watching a Bald Eagle or some other bird. Sometimes no bird at all is needed. And of course we all know the Wilhelm scream. What other TV conventions can we think of?

does anyone remember the thread about the guy who wanted to visit nyc with no place to stay just show up with a rolling suitcase - he was planning to hook up with various guys every night to find a place to sleep? i loved it but can''t find it. can anyone re-post?

Yesterday, Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker (D) attacked the Obama campaign for making an issue of Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital during an appearance on Meet the Press. While the progressive leader later backed off the criticisms, Republicans have been quick to highlight his comments as an attack against the idea that scrutiny of Mitt Romney’s record as a businessman is fair game. A ThinkProgress examination of New Jersey campaign finance records for Booker’s first run for Mayor — back in 2002 — suggests a possible reason for his unease with attacks on Bain Capital and venture capital. They were among his earliest and most generous backers. Contributions to his 2002 campaign from venture capitalists, investors, and big Wall Street bankers brought him more than $115,000 for his 2002 campaign. Among those contributing to his campaign were John Connaughton ($2,000), Steve Pagliuca ($2,200), Jonathan Lavine ($1,000) — all of Bain Capital. While the forms are not totally clear, it appears the campaign raised less than $800,000 total, making this a significant percentage. He and his slate also jointly raised funds for the “Booker Team for Newark” joint committee. They received more than $450,000 for the 2002 campaign from the sector — including a pair of $15,400 contributions from Bain Capital Managing Directors Joshua Bekenstein and Mark Nunnelly. It appears that for the initial campaign and runoff, the slate raised less than $4 million — again making this a sizable chunk. In all — just in his first Mayoral run — Booker’s committees received more than $565,000 from the people he was defending. At least $36,000 of that came from folks at Romney’s old firm.

I know DL isn't usually into baseball but since it's pretty New York centric, I thought there may be some interest here. Does anyone remember how fucking hot the NY Mets around the year 2000 were? I know there were gay rumors about a handful of them too. Shawn Estes, Todd Zeile, and of course Mike "I'm Not Gay" Piazza - all hot men with rumors surrounding them. Robin Ventura - hottie who now manages the White Sox. Al Leiter who grunted and seemed like an animal in game. Does anyone have any info/stories about these guys? I would post pics but like half the team was hot.

Obama is heads and tails above Mitt Romney in every single way that a vote for Romney is really just a vote to get the nigger out of the White House. Correct?

All these talking heads on TV continue to try to make this coming election a race is disgusting. If Obama loses, it will be time enough to worry about the future. Any sane person who works couldn't possibly vote Romeany unless they have a problem with skin color. I know keeping the public interested in watching TV is a means of selling advertising and paying talking heads too much money, but the public may become wise to this schtick and tune them out.

I saw her in concert in Seattle years ago after apparently disastrous performances in Boston and San Francisco. When I saw her she was sublime. But I never hear about her anymore.\ \ There are some wild stories about her not being a diva, but a bat shit crazy bitch.
