SCIENCE VS RELIGION: MORGAN FREEMAN HAS THE VOICE FOR IT

Morgan Freeman’s new show on Discovery’s Science Channel premiers this week and sounds quite enticing. It’s called “Through the Wormhole” and the show will investigate attempts to reconcile science and religion. (For example: How Did We Get Here?) QUITE an ambitious project. Certainly Freeman has the VOICE for this exploration, but has he already made up his mind? Have YOU? Freeman has been quoted as saying “It’s hard for me to get my mind wrapped around the idea that there is an ‘intelligence’ that controls everything.”

Banned Elton John Gay

ELTON JOHN IS TOO OPINIONATED FOR EGYPT

Elton John managed to offend a whole lot of people with a few offhand comments he made to Parade Magazine not long ago and we kind of love him for it. According to our clever comrades in gossip at The Evil Beet, Elton mused “I think Jesus was a compassionate super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.” He also blabbed “Try being a gay woman in the Middle East – you’re as good as dead!” In one fell swoop Elton enraged the Christian community and the Middle East. As a result, a Georgia man was arrested for plotting to murder Elton on YouTube, and Elton has been banned from performing in Egypt. Not to worry, Elton, we’re on your side.

Anne Hathaway Brother Gay Religion

ANNE HATHAWAY GAVE UP RELIGION FOR HER BROTHER

Another reason to love Anne Hathaway (as if “The Devil Wears Prada” weren’t enough.) The “Valentines Day” star told British GQ that she and her family left the Catholic church because of their intolerance of homosexuality. When her beloved older brother Michael came out, the family turned Episcopalian. That didn’t work out so well either, but it’s great to see such a supportive family.
