Things got off to a weird start when the “Tonight Show” staff surprised Jimmy Fallon for his 40th birthday.
Like, shirtless-Seth-Rogen-and-James-Franco-popping-out-of-a-giant-cake, weird.
Watch Fallon crack up (and say “Oh my God” repeatedly) as he is greeted by the “Pineapple Express” duo before receiving his real gift: a personal performance by the great Stevie Wonder.

Nick Jonas Can’t Stop Talking About Gays, Says He Still Really Loves Us
Nick Jonas Can’t Stop Talking About Gays, Says He Still Really Loves Us
Nick Jonas has essentially turned the publicity tour for his self-titled debut solo album into a tease campaign directed exclusively at gay men that want to sleep with Nick Jonas. Is he trying to release an album here or is he trying to ask us out? The suspense is killing us. It’s brilliant. (We’d say yes.)
The former JoBro launched his new single “Jealous” at two different gay clubs in Manhattan last week, flashing his beautiful abs for the crowds at both and even dancing on stage with some shirtless go-go boys at one.
He continued the week by telling MTV that he “loves [his gay fans] to death,” and later in an interview with HuffPo, he demonstrated some of the poses he may strike during his character’s gay sex scenes in Kingdom.
In his latest interview on Friday, Nick reached even further down our pants by admitting to Logo that the Jonas Brothers never did enough for their gay fans, and that he thinks we’re “incredible” and “fun.”
I grew up doing theater here in New York, surrounded by [the gay community] and loving it and loving all the friends I made at a very young age. When my brothers and I started touring and had some success, naturally they became a pretty big part of our following, and I don’t know that we ever did enough to really own that.
This time around, with my career, and my steps I’m taking, I really want to make an effort to embrace the community with wide open arms, and they’re the best fans in the world.
STOP, Nick! We’re blushing!
They have very good taste, as well, which I think is incredible.
Yes, Nick. But our taste may be acquired. You should try it sometime.

MTV to Air 'Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word' Documentary Highlighting Trans Youth
MTV to Air 'Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word' Documentary Highlighting Trans Youth
Between her role as Sofia in Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black and producing a feature length, independent documentary about Cece McDonald, Laverne Cox has firmly established herself as a modern icon within the transgender community. To date, the bulk of Cox’s work has highlighted the struggles facing adult trans women, but her latest project, Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word, focuses on trans youth.
“For many of us, the ‘T’ in LGBT means more than transgender—it also means truth,” Cox said to New Now Next “The cast members in this documentary are fearlessly living their truths and in sharing their stories will send the message to other trans youth that it’s okay to be who you are.”
Earlier this year Cox accepted a Logo Trailblazers award on behalf of Orange Is The New Black and called on the LGB community to stand in solidarity with trans people dealing with discrimination. As a part of MTV’s Look Different campaign, The show will chronicle the lives of seven youths from different backgrounds they explore what it means to be trans-identified in America today. The T-Word will premiere on both MTV and Logo TV on the on Friday, October 17 at 7PM ET, followed by a round table discussion between Cox and the documentary’s seven cast members.

This Is What Sex Looks Like Inside An MRI Scanner (NSFW)
This Is What Sex Looks Like Inside An MRI Scanner (NSFW)
Ever wished you could see what was going on inside your body when you have sex?
You’re in luck! A new NSFW video featuring footage from multiple MRI scans affords a remarkable glimpse inside human bodies as they engage in intimate activities ranging from a French kiss to, yes, full-bore coitus.
WARNING: The video contains NSFW footage. Story continues below.
MRI scanners create still and, in this case, moving images with the help of strong magnetic fields that interact with protons inside our bodies.
And as you can see in the video above, those interactions can tell us a lot about interactions of our own.

Utah Companies Reject “Controversial” Pro-Gay Billboard, Will Still Run Ads For Rush Limbaugh, Chick-Fil-A, The GOP
Utah Companies Reject “Controversial” Pro-Gay Billboard, Will Still Run Ads For Rush Limbaugh, Chick-Fil-A, The GOP
Two different billboard advertising companies in Utah have rejected applications to display pro-gay messages on billboards in the Salt Lake City area, citing the phrase “God Loves Gays” as “controversial,” and “advancing sensitive political interests,” and therefore against their policies.
In statements to BuzzFeed, both companies have also conveniently forgot to mention that they rent space to companies and politicians who vocally oppose LGBT rights, something that could easily be interpreted by some as controversial and designed to advance sensitive political interests.
The rejection statements come in response to the anonymous activist “God’s” campaign to erect “God Loves Gays” billboards in key American cities to combat anti-gay information distributed by the Westboro Baptist Church and, in this case, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Since August, God has raised nearly $100,000 on Indiegogo to fund the billboard campaign; he erected the first in Westboro’s hometown of Topeka earlier this month.
Thank you, @TheGoodGodAbove & all His supporters for generously providing this new billboard to the @cityoftopeka pic.twitter.com/g5BrHX9VYB

His next intended stop was Utah, to antagonize the Mormons, of course.
But two Utah-based billboard advertising companies are not interested in spreading the message, as they feel it’s “controversial” and advancing the gay agenda.
Speaking with BuzzFeed Friday, Dewey Reagan of Reagan Outdoor Advertising said:
“…rejecting the ads does not reflect the company’s or any of its employees’ position on the topic. It was a business decision based on structural realities of our business. We don’t actually own the majority of the land underneath the signs where our billboards are located. They are there pursuant to land lease agreements and some of those specifically prohibit display of ad copy that is controversial.”
Well that’s funny, since Reagan National Advertising doesn’t seem to think there’s anything possibly controversial about running ads for Rush Limbaugh and Chick-fil-A. Surely those parties would be considered “controversial” by some, and most definitely offensive to many.
YESCO, the second billboard advertising company to reject the God Loves Gays billboard based on its pro-gay content, offered the following statement to BuzzFeed:
“As a privately owned company, YESCO carefully evaluates all requests for advertising placement. We avoid accepting advertisements that are interpreted as advancing sensitive religious, social, or political interests.”
Advancing sensitive political interests? That’s exactly what Salt Lake City Republican mayoral candidate Mark Crockett was doing when YESCO rented space to him back in 2012. What gives?
God tells BuzzFeed that “the LORD shall not be denied,” adding:
“I understand that [the companies] fear using the words God, loves, and gays in the same sentence. Why am I not allowed to have free speech? Huh? Isn’t this America? Oh, I’m sorry, I thought this was America.”
“It’s extremely important for young LGBT people to know that God loves them just the way they are,” they said. “So many young gay teens struggle with persecution and consider suicide as the only way out. I have talked to countless LGBT teens in this situation via private messages on Facebook. This message can actually save lives. This is also why I’ve pledged to donate $30,000 to the Trevor Project, The Equality House, and the National Alliance to End Homelessness.”
This is not over.
