It’s not the size of the cat in the fight, but the size of the fight in the cat . This feisty feline is totally going to be the talk of the neighborhood for weeks after winning a standoff with a freaking alligator at a Louisiana wildlife park. Watch below as the behemoth reptile attempts to make his way out of the water, only to be put in his place by a pet probably one-twentieth its size. This “Play of the Day” leaves no doubt as to who’s king of the shoreline: Cat Takes on Alligator
Cynthia Nixon finds herself in a bit of trouble within the gay community. The actress – best known for her role as Miranda on Sex and the City , and in a committed relationship with Christine Marinoni – is profiled this week in The New York Times and tells the newspaper: “I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better.’ And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice.” Cynthia Nixon has shaved her head for a role in a Broadway play. But that’s not why the actress is making headlines. Nixon made these comments around the same time Washington became the seventh state to legalize gay marriage, and she doesn’t see her viewpoint as contrasting with the stance of many activists. “A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it’s a choice, then we could opt out,” the actress says. “I say it doesn’t matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not. “I am very annoyed about this issue. Why can’t it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems we’re just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don’t think that they should define the terms of the debate.” What do you think of Nixon’s comments?
While Halle Berry attempts to deny Gabriel Aubry access to daughter Nahla – following a report that claims he shoved the child’s nanny while she was holding the three-year old – a Los Angeles judge has granted this model one tiny victory in court. Alliance Kamdem, the nanny in question, had applied for a restraining order against her former employer on grounds that he has abused her physically and emotionally, twice pushing her out of doorways; sometimes violently snatching his child out of her arms; and once even saying she was a “spy.” But a judge referred to Kamdem’s petition today as “insufficient and speculative.” He said she should take her complaint to family court. Alliance quit her position after the most recent incident and has also filed a police report against Aubry. [Photo: WENN.com]
