Mexico, along with Brazil, are already under fire from FIFA after their fans chanted ‘puto’, a term for a male prostitute and a homophobic slur, during World Cup matches. In response to the criticism, the Mexican team’s coach has defended their fans.

Following Texas Governor Rick Perry’s recent comments comparing homosexuality to alcoholism, and utter failure to apologize for them, Funny or Die have put together the inevitable parody video of the situation.

True Blood kicks off its seventh and final season and is going out with a bang. Stephen Moyer takes his character through the most physically and demanding scenes he’s performed to date. Among new story elements are an army of zombie-like vampires, decimated by the Hep-V virus, marching on Bon Temps. Expect the most intense and bloodiest slaughter scene to date. The most exciting news is a fantasy come true for many—a very erotic scene between Alexander Skarsgaard and Ryan Kwanten. Sorry to those rooting for a Kwanten and Joe Manganiello hookup.

I gave a book to a partnered friend on her 50th birthday entitled Sex After 50. The inside of the book was blank. Everyone laughed, including my friend, who spit out her chocolate cake before turning to me and whispering blankly, “I haven’t had sex for two years.”

La Roux – “Tropical Chancer”

Having sung her entire debut through her larynx, it’s good to hear Elly Jackson (the only member of La Roux left) reinvent her singing style on the much-delayed follow-up Trouble in Paradise. After an electro ballad (“Let Me Down Gently”) and a dance track (“Uptight Downtown”), she offers this reggae-spiced skanker, leading me to believe she’s not going for stardom or trendsetting, but longevity. Good move, Elly. Good move.
