The Boy Scouts of America held a historic vote on Thursday (May 23), allowing homosexual youths to join the organization without discrimination. The group's 1400-member national council passed the new resolution with more than 60 percent of the vote at a meeting in the Dallas area.
This new policy allows youth members of the Boy Scouts membership, regardless of open sexual orientation. Previously, the Scouts were allowed and expected to exclude any openly gay members. The resolution does not, however, extend to adults in the group, meaning that Scout leaders still cannot be homosexual.
Not everyone in the organization is happy about the change, of course. While some argued against the resolution on religious grounds, others insisted that allowing homosexuals would hurt membership and funding efforts.
Meanwhile, those who favor the new policy -- which goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2014 -- called it "a tremendous victory toward the fight for equality in America,...

Brendon Ayanbadejo celebrates the Ravens' win
Birthday shoutouts go to Alice Cooper, who is 65, and George Romero is 73. The Ricki Lake Show has been canceled after one season, and expect an announcement about The Jeff Probst Show soon. 15 life lessons we learned from drag queens Linda Lavin will return to series TV as the mother of Sean Hayes in his upcoming sitcom. Russell Simmons talks to Superbowl Champ Brendon Ayanbadejo.And this just in.
The Superbowl broke another ratings record this year. Update: Final numbers show it was down this year. As for me, I was busy switching between marathons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Golden Girls and Murder She Wrote. It got so dizzying I half expected to see Bea Arthur on the bridge of the Enterprise. But I did manage to see a baby-faced Neil Patrick Harris asking Jessica Fletcher for help. Spoiler: He was framed.

It's finally obvious why Rupert Everett made those horrible comments about gay parents – he has a new book to sell. Still, in some ways I empathize with some of the reasons he's putting forth on kids and marriage. "For me, being gay was about wanting to do the opposite of the straight world, so I think that's where my problems in this particular area come from. For me, personally, the last thing I would like in the entire world would be to go through cocktailing my sperm with my boyfriend and finding some grim couple in Ohio who are gluten-free and who you pay $75,000 to have your baby. To me it feels absolutely hideous. But that's me, just me. I'm not having a go at gay couples who do. I think if Elton and David want to have babies, that's wonderful. I think we should all do what we want.

Vulture made a visit to the set of the New Girl, which had Schmidt (Max Greenfield) walking into the living room, penis cast removed, and tossing the empty cast down on the table to the horror of his roommates. These are scenes I could watch, but I can't watch it with Zooey Deschanel. They also mention that there will be a Magic Schmidt scene.
Marvel has had to delay the release of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One -- Avengers Assembled Collection" due to a copyright claim. The DVD box set was due to ship in a replica of Nick Fury's briefcase, but the manufacturer of the case in the movie, Rimowa GmbH, filed a copyright suit saying that Disney didn't have the rights to replicate their product.

You know you'll end up talking about what happened on the VMAs tomorrow.
News
Hunky Geoff Stults will have a recurring role in the upcoming Fox comedy Ben & Kate starting with the Halloween episode.
In related news, Bones creator Hart Hanson says he planned to bring the late Michael Clarke Duncan back for another episode of Bones to establish what happened to the characters from The Finder.
In today's "this just keeps getting better" news, Frances Conroy will be appearing in the new season of American Horror Story. Conroy is reliably amazing in horror roles, so I was a little disappointed she wasn't a part of the returning cast. Thankfully, that's no longer the case.
Paul Abbott's drama about a transgender assassin Hit & Miss has been cancelled.
