Malawi frees jailed gay couple!

Malawi’s president, Bingu wa Mutharika, on Saturday pardoned and ordered the release of a gay couple sentenced to 14 years in prison for sodomy and indecency charges. “These boys committed a crime against our culture, our religion and our laws. However, as the head of state, I hereby pardon them and therefore ask for their immediate release with no conditions. I have done this on humanitarian grounds, but this does not mean that I support this. We don’t condone marriages of this nature. It’s unheard of in Malawi and it’s illegal.”

Malawi had faced international condemnation for the conviction and 14-year sentences given to the two men, who were arrested in December, a day after celebrating their engagement. No one knows where the men went after their release. They were not at their Blantyre home.

Boy George talks about jail time…

This is Boy George’s first revelatory interview about his jail sentence for his imprisonment of an Norwegian rent boy. He looks the same as he did years ago. He said that he expected it, so we feel sorry for him a little bit. But, he liked being tagged and restrained.  That must’ve been an exercise in discipline. It’s funny how in prison they cover up the lewd pictures in magazines. We know a place like that, if you know what we mean. Anyway, as always he’s funny and smart. Click below for part 2.

Aung San Suu Kyi gets re-trials, new trumped-up charges

Aung San Suu Kyi was towards the end of her unfair detention time, but it seems like she’ll be staying in longer. After an American jumped in a lake and swam to here, the military regime found it to be reason enough to re-assess the victim’s sentence for a couple more years. This is the woman that won the election in Burma but was put in jail for something she didn’t do just to shut her up. In any case, here’s the entire article

I am not surprised. She is a formidable power in a dictatorship. I swear, when I visited a border town in Myanmar I thought it was a slice of hell. I had never seen such oppression, corruption and poverty.

Rihanna doing well, recovering during birthday

Rihanna’s posse released a statement on her whereabouts and how she is doing. Apparently, everything is fine and she is back in Los Angeles after a brief break in her native Barbados. She is celebrating her birthday without a the big 200-something bash her record company had planned for her and is apparently on her road to recovery. Chris Brown’s half-assed statement seems to have tinted his image further and anyone that sympathizes with him now is pretty much either a misogynist or a lunatic. The TMZ leak of the battering pictures show that it wasn’t just a tiny scuffle of sorts but a full-blown violent assault that can not be inflicted by anyone other than a criminal.

Boy George has been jailed…

PEOPLE-BOYGEORGE/

Boy George has been put in jail for 15 months. That’s harsh. I’m sure he’ll be dropping the soap everyday. He is in for tying up a Norwegian escort named  Audun Carlsen and beating him. I mean, you ran out of things to do? Bondage is fun but it should always be simulated. He was photographed pornographically by George and apparently had some other problems. He should have asked “Do you really want to hurt me?”
