So, I decided to start this thing up again but make it more exciting and real, more of what we want. Feel free to post anything, articles of what's happening around the world in the LGBTIQA community, gossip on celebrities, upcoming events, pictures of your life and your family, however you define it.... whatever and whoever we are, post it. We won't censor but ask that you post no nudity as this can be accessed by everyone and I really don't need to see your business plan.

And, to start this blog off on the right foot, I give you *drumroll*, our first entry....



(CBS) Even though "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest and cranky judge Simon Cowell insist they're friends, they often have nasty exchanges during the live show.

Tuesday night's show was no exception.

It all started with a simple viewer question for finalist Melinda Doolittle.
"We have a question from Georgia," said Seacrest. "What do you consider the hardest part of this contest?"

"Wow," said Doolittle. "I would have to say the high heels and these dresses. I like my tennis shoes and my sweat pants," she said, shrugging her shoulders. "I'm sorry."

It all went downhill from there.

"Simon, any advice on the high heels?" Seacrest said, somewhat snidely.

"You should know, Ryan," responded Cowell, as the audience let out a whoop and fellow judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson rolled their eyes.

"Stay out of my closet, Simon," Seacrest responded.

"Well, come out," Cowell snapped.

"This is about the top twelve. Okay? Not your wishes," Seacrest quickly recovered, adding "We are friends."
