'One Life to Live' Dumps the Gay Love Story
by Allison Waldman, posted Mar 13th 2010 9:43AM
In January, things weren't looking good for ABC's 'One Life to Live.' It wasn't just that 'All My Children' was getting the move to Los Angeles, leaving 'OLTL' the lone ABC soap in New York. It wasn't just the delay in going to HD, nor the flagging ratings. It was the stagnant story telling. The emphasis on gay marriage in Dorian's mayoral campaign was over the top, as was the romance of closeted cop Oliver Fish and ex-lab tech Kyle. The Kyle-Fish relationship developed a fan base. The proponents of 'Kish' were all for the twosome become like Cam and Mitchell on 'Modern Family,' a gay married couple with broad-based appeal.
That's not to be. This past week, 'One Life to Live' dumped the duo. Actors Brett Claywell and Scott Evans were let go because their characters are being written off the show, according to the New York Post.
YouTube has Tom Cruise episode of South Park

There has been a lot of uproar over the 'Come out
of the Closet' episode of South Park from both Isaac Hayes (allegedly) and from Tom Cruise lately. Maybe
you're getting sick of hearing about it. Or, maybe you're wishing you'd seen it when it aired a few months ago. I think
it's pretty safe to assume the episode-in-question is never going to see the light of day again on Comedy Central, but
the cool cats over at YouTube have been kind enough to post the ENTIRE EPISODE on their
website.They also have clips from a hilarious bit on Jimmy Kimmel where Isaac Hayes' new job is to do all the voiceover for Tom Cruise.

South Park creators declare war on Scientology

You may
have noticed that Wednesday night's episode of South Park was not the one where Tom Cruise refuses to come out
of the closet numerous times, as was previously scheduled. The abrupt change actually had nothing to do with the fact
that the episode was the final straw for Chef Isaac Hayes. Comedy Central yanked that
episode at the last minute because Tom Cruise threatened Viacom with pulling Mission: Impossible-3 advertising
if it aired again (is anyone else nervous about the amount of power that man has?).South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone released this hilarious and potentially inflammatory statement through their lawyer today:
