Several LGBT rights groups like the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the Human Rights Campaign, and the National Center for Transgender Equality led the charge against the show, which debuted to low ratings on Jan. 3. Viewership for the second episode dropped another 20%.

TMZ is reporting: Whitney Houston isn’t on drugs anymore … she’s just crazy — and yesterday she almost got kicked off a Delta Airlines flight … because she refused to buckle her seatbelt.

Multiple sources tell us … Whitney boarded a flight in Atlanta Wednesday afternoon … and when she settled into her seat, a crew member asked her to buckle up.

We’re told Whitney refused and “got diva” on the crew member … until another crew member came over and warned Houston that if she didn’t buckle up, she would have to get off the plane.

Whitney eventually allowed one of the crew members to grab the buckle and fasten it for the singer — and the plane was then cleared for takeoff.

Sources close to the singer tell us … Whitney “overreacted a little bit after missing an earlier flight but she’s still 100% sober and was on the way to Detroit for her first day of shooting a new movie.”

It’s not right, but it’s OK …

TMZ is reporting that Adam Lambert and his Finnish reality star boyfriend Sauli Koskinen returned to the States in time for Christmas yesterday … just a few days after the pair was arrested in Finland for fist-fighting each other outside a gay bar.

Lambert and Koskinen weren’t chatty — but the warm and cuddly Xmas pic they posted on Twitter yesterday seemed to suggest things were now just ducky.

Not sure why seeing athletic cadets cavorting in their underwear would be “inappropriate” for people who could be called to a war zone, but that’s bureaucracy. I, for one, quite enjoyed supporting our troops in this one. Air Force beat Army this year, 24-14.

A) Look like this guy
B) Meet this guy
C) Work out in my fab new house with this guy. And by “work out” I mean everything you’re thinking right now.

This is a crazy, sexy Real Estate video for property in Australia. There’s a beautiful woman, too, but she’s definitely not the focus. This guy is. And the final pitch at the end is kind of funny.

It features a lot of butt shots, so if you’re with Mom this Sunday on her home computer, you may want to watch it when you get to your place. Unless your mom likes butts belonging to super hot guys like this one.

For example, the gay-inclusiveness of companies like Abercrombie & Fitch has long been on display, most obviously in its A&F Quarterly. And the company got some attention for parading 101 shirtless male models on the Champs-Élysées in May to celebrate the opening of its Paris flagship store. But it gets less attention for its policy of prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.

The 2012 Aspen Gay Ski Week is being held January 15-22, and it’s the nation’s largest and oldest gay ski event. The theme is “Through the Years,” and in honor of that the organizers created a series of fantastic ads that are both sexy and campy. While we plan on posting info about the week on Monday morning, we wanted to share this visual magic with you right now.

As an FYI, Aspen Gay Ski Week also raises money for important organizations. Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network), the Trevor Project, the Point Foundation, and the local program TEACH (Teachers Empowering Agents of Change), the Western Colorado AIDS Project, the Gender Identity Center of Colorado, as well as local schools of the Roaring Fork Valley.

Even if you don’t usually dig Harold and Kumarmovies, the holiday 3D spectacular delivers Neil Patrick Harris at his best. The tripple threat performer steals the show with both a big song and dance number (complete with Rockettes) and classic NPH comedy.

The out actor reprises his role as a very straight shooter, so to speak, in A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas in 3D, but the real star is the musical scene. Specially choreographed by Courtney Miller (Michael Jackson, Usher, Miley Cyrus, and Britney Spears) to maximize the new eye-popping technology, the scene soars on Harris’ trademark ‘nice guy’ charm before taking a naughty and hilarious turn. (Without giving any spoilers, his real life partner, David Burtka, surprises in the full scene and serves as the icing on the cake!)

In short: After years of growing apart, Harold Lee and Kumar Patel have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar’s door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold’s house ends with the “high grade” contents — and Harold’s father-in-law’s prize Christmas tree — going up in smoke. With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree takes them through party heaven — and almost blows Christmas Eve sky high.
