Coronavirus Vaccine, Onward, Bobbie Batista, Super Tuesday, Rachel Dratch, Lea DeLaria, Jessie Ware, Travis Wall: HOT LINKS

ONWARD. Russia censors Disney’s first openly LGBTQ character. “Onward, a fantasy-adventure that hits the big screens in Russia on March 5, introduces a cyclops police officer named Specter as the studios’ first-self identified lesbian character. Officer Specter appears in one scene, where she casually mentions having a girlfriend.”

DNC. Dems plan for coronavirus convention chaos: “It is serious. The question for state chairs is, look, we all have to put on conventions coming up. Most of the delegates to the national convention are elected at [state] conventions. What happens if state parties have to cancel these events where delegates are elected?”

THE FALL. Snoop Dogg really has it out for Oprah and Gayle.

ICEMAN. Actor Timothy Hutton accused of raping girl in 1983.

RIP. Original CNN anchor Bobbie Battista dead at 67. “Battista passed away on Tuesday morning after a four year battle with cervical cancer, according to Wendy Guarisco, family spokeswoman.”

THE VACCINE. Trump has no understanding of how vaccines work or are developed, he just wants it now, before the election.

EMOTIONAL APPEARANCE. Elizabeth Warren tears up during Jimmy Kimmel visit: “It’s all fun and then someone, it’s honestly like a knife between the ribs because it is so painful. They so much need a government on their side. They’re not asking for a handout—they’re just asking for a government that’s on their side.”

ONGOING UNCERTAINTY. Gucci cancels fashion show over coronavirus.

THE JURY IS OUT. Judy Sheindlin on Bloomberg’s candidacy.

ANTONIO SABATO JR. Supporting Trump ruined my career: “I had to sell everything,” Sabato reveals in a phone interview with Variety from his new home in Florida. “I had to pay all my debts. I was blacklisted. All my representatives left me, from agents to managers to commercial agents. I literally had to move, find a new job to survive and take care of my kids. It’s been terrible. It’s mind-blowing. It’s a disgrace. It’s tough, because if you’re in that environment in Hollywood and you have something to say that they don’t like, they’re going to let you know.”

ALL IN GOOD FUN. Amy Klobuchar thanks Rachel Dratch for the memories.

U-HAUL. Sign this “confirmed bachelor” to a deal.

NEW TUNE OF THE DAY. Tove Lo featuring Doja Cat “Equally Lost”.

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY. Jessie Ware “Spotlight”.

TOP OF THE WORLD TUESDAY. Choreographer Travis Wall.

PHOTOS: Cute guys show off their Super Tuesday pride

It’s Super Tuesday!

All across the nation voters are casting their ballots for who they want to see as the Democratic party’s nominee in the 2020 presidential election.

Polls opened in 14 states plus on territory this morning. 1,300 delegates–about a third of the total–are at stake.

NBC News reports:

Sanders, I-Vt., is looking to maintain his front-runner status after former Vice President Joe Biden’s landslide win in South Carolina, which was largely dependent on the African American vote. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., will need a stronger finish or face more pressure to bow out, and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg will see whether his unconventional, late-entry strategy to forgo the first four nominating contests and focus on Super Tuesday states pays off.

Of course, one of the perks about voting day is showing off the fun “I Voted” sticker they give you after you cast your ballot.

Scroll down for pics of cute guys showing off their Super Tuesday pride…

Donna Brazile Tells RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel to ‘Go to Hell’ — WATCH

Democratic political strategist Donna Brazile told RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel to “go to Hell” during a segment on FOX News Tuesday.

Brazile was reacting to comments by McDaniel that the “process was rigged” against Bernie Sanders: “It does depend on how big a lead that Sanders takes out of California is. If he picks up a huge proportion of delegates. I don’t see anybody getting out soon. It is leading towards a brokered convention, which will be rigged against Bernie if those superdelegates have their way on that second vote.”

Brazile told McDaniel and Republicans to “stay the hell out of our race” and stop lecturing Democrats about their political races.

Said Brazile: “First of all, they don’t have a process. They are canceling primaries. They have winner-take-all. They don’t have the kind of democracy that we see on the Democratic side. For people to use Russian talking points to sow division among Americans is stupid. So Ronna, go to hell! This is not about — go to Hell! I’m tired of it.”

Brazile continued: “We’re not trying to prevent anyone from becoming the nominee. If you have the delegates and win, you will win. This notion that somehow or other Democrats are out to try and put hurdles or roadblocks for one candidate, that’s stupid. I know what’s going on. They are scared of Democrats coming together to defeat Donald Trump. Stop using Russian talking points Madam Chairwoman.”
