John Travolta and Kelly Preston Squash Gay Rumors by Vacationing on Magical Island of Homosexual Pleasures

The Greek island of Mykonos—the “gay capital of the Mediterranean”—probably isn’t where I would go if I were trying to quell rumors about my secret gay touchings, but, you know, everyone’s a special snowflake. John Travolta and Kelly Preston were photographed walking hand-in-hand through the streets of the lovely vacation spot, where they’re reportedly soaking up some much-needed relaxation (and absolutely zero men’s penises). In their defense, I can personally testify that Mykonos isn’t exclusively a haven for gay shenanigans—when I was there in 2004, a Greek high school gymnast pinned me unwillingly against a stone wall and promptly ejaculated in his pants. Okay, at the time it was mostly just awkward and I ran away unscathed, but now that I write it down it sounds pretty fucking horrifying. Screw you, creepy Greek man-child! Gross! [Radar]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is hella mad at GQ for printing empty allegations about his brother’s death. Here’s the statement he posted on his tumblr:

First of all, I’d like to thank both of the Jims and everyone else at GQ for putting me on the cover of their magazine this month. That kind of exposure is a huge help to all the work I love to do, and I’m deeply appreciative.

I’m writing this because I have a problem with what their article says about my brother. I’ll be honest, it really made me feel terrible. Here’s a quote: ‘the elder Gordon-Levitt died of an alleged drug overdose in 2010. “It was an accident” is all Joe will say about that.’

Using the word ‘alleged’ technically allows the writer to say whatever she wants. The ‘allegations’ to which she must be referring were made by a handful of gossip websites. They are factually incorrect according to the coroner’s office and the police department. I don’t like publicly speaking about my brother’s death, but I’m making an exception to correct this irresponsible claim.

By the way, while I asked the writer not to dwell on how he died, I did say quite a bit about how he lived, and how much he means to me. Dan was a brightly positive, genuinely caring, and brilliantly inspiring person, and I liked the idea of such a wide readership learning about him. My parents and I are disappointed with what the article chose to focus on regarding this sensitive subject.

Fuck, he is classy and adorable. [JustJared]

A large rubber balloon overinflated with gravy steam and calling itself Rush Limbaugh thinks that The Dark Knight Rises is trying to brainwash audiences into hating Mitt Romney by naming its villain “Bane.” People, he says, are “gonna hear Bane in the movie and they’re gonna associate Bain. The thought is that when they start paying attention to the campaign later in the year, and Obama and the Democrats keep talking about Bain, Romney and Bain, that these people will think back to the Batman movie.” Yes, that is exactly how the universe works. That’s why we elected that talking badger from Prince Caspian back in 2008. [Deadline]
