MORE BARBIES THAN WE EVER IMAGINED

There’s an estate sale happening in Los Angeles this weekend and we saw lots of advance photos of the stuff on sale- this was a Barbie doll collector! We had NO idea there were SO many Barbies of SO many kinds produced over the years! Some are even copies of dead movie stars. How about Barbie Loves Elvis? Or James Dean in his red jacket? Little did we know there was a Harley-Davidson Barbie doll! And how about Barbie and Ken dressed for a Star Trek mission! The collection also has Barbie through the years- above you can see  Barbie in the Fabulous Forties and she has rolled hair and shoulder pads. We love them ALL! And none of these dolls have ever been played with- that’s almost a shame…

ZACHARY QUINTO IS FINALLY GAY, SO GET USED TO IT

We sensed that Zachary Quinto, (Spock on the new Star Trek) who came out to New York magazine and via Twitter, has been wanting to come out as gay for a long time, but his management advised against it. Makes sense, he’s a leading man. But he was not comfortable avoiding the issue and didn’t want to fake it any longer. Hollywood insiders knew he was gay but perhaps some fans didn’t. He’s one of the few gay Hollywood actors who accepted gay roles. Closeted gay actors don’t like all those pesky reporters asking about what it’s like to “play gay” so they stay away from homosexual parts. Zachary played the parts and he showed up for gay causes. So it was just a matter of time before he came out, and we’re happy for him.
