After six and a half years together, Mike Huckabee and Fox News are parting ways – a devastating blow to anyone who enjoyed getting their misinformed Republican Party propaganda in a neat little 700 Club-esque wrapper.  

Said the Pat Robertson-lite on Huckabee last night:

“I’ve never had so much fun in my life. I’ve met people I never dreamed I’d meet and I’ve played music with legends in the music business. But I also realize that God hasn’t put me on Earth just to have a good time or to make a good living, but rather God has put me on Earth to try to make a good life. There’s been a great deal of speculation as to whether I would run for president. And if i were willing to absolutely rule that out, I could keep doing this show. But I can’t make such a declaration.”

Huckabee added that he wouldn’t make a final decision on 2016 until late next spring.

British singer Sam Smith, who was coy about his new relationship in an interview last month in which he confirmed that he was dating an extra from his “Like I Can” music video, spent the holidays with his special guy, a dancer named Jonathan Zeizel.

Smith shared a boatload of photos of Zeizel and friends on a trip to Sydney, Australia and a lush resort area. The two appear smitten with one another after sharing their first selfie (above) last month, and not concerned about going public with it.

The cheeky Instagram shots include one in which Smith and Zeizel recreate the iconic scene from Titanic, captioned, “I’m flying Jack, I’m flying…”

Check out more shots that suggest Smith is currently feeling like he’s ‘King of the World’, AFTER THE JUMP….

Looking happy on a boat in Sydney harbor they later traveled to a more tropical place.

Said Sam of this photo: “Literally woken up in Heaven”.

And of course some fine cuisine and champagne to top it off.

Looks like 2015 is starting off on a high note for Sam Smith.

Saddened and angered by the tragic suicide of 17-year-old Leelah Alcorn last Sunday, My Chemical Romance lead guitarist Ray Toro has dedicated his new song “For the Lost and Brave” to the deceased trans teen.

Wrote Toro on his blog:

I wrote this song about a year ago, waiting to release it on my record when it was complete.  There have been many times that I’ve almost put it out, but have always found a reason to hold it back.  But lately there seems to be so much hate and misunderstanding in this world.

As I’m sure many of you felt after reading the news of young Leelah Alcorn taking her own life, my heart sank.  I felt sick.  Yet another young life gone because of not being heard, not being understood, and not being unconditionally loved for who they truly were.  After hearing her story, and reading her final Tumblr post, I finally felt it was time to share this song.

It is time we learn to accept each other for who we truly are.  Being seen, heard, and truly loved as our authentic selves is something we all want, and something we all deserve.
