Tyler Clementi was a gay 18-year-old student at Rutgers University who leapt to his death from the George Washington Bridge on Sept. 20, 2010. Why? His roommate, Dharun Ravi, taped him having sex with another man via webcam in their dorm room. He and his accomplice, student Molly Wei, watched the encounter with several friends in Wei’s dorm room.

Ravi urged his friends and Twitter followers to watch a second encounter via webcam. Clementi killed himself shortly after discovering the second incident and reporting Ravi to his resident advisor. He had requested a room transfer, and for Ravi to be punished.

Ravi was found guilty on 15 counts of invasion of privacy, bias intimidation, tampering with evidence, witness tampering, and hindering apprehension or prosecution (Wei pled out). Yesterday he received 30 days in jail, and a $10,000 fine.

Let’s hear your thoughts. Was the verdict fair? You can read the whole story here.

The boys of One Direction have close to zero sex appeal for me. The music of One Direction has close to zero appeal for me. Yet, with that said, I consistently see grown men dorking out about these five singing, dancing twinks from the other side of the pond.

Now, I’m not trying to be a bitch, but… Why?

Have you ever been curious about which ol’ school Hollywood actors preferred the company of other men? Well, you’re in luck! An ONTD reader was kind enough to read Scotty Bowers‘ Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars so you don’t have to! A decent portion of the book’s items concern the sexuality of yesterday’s stars. Some of the items are obvious. Some of them are not.

I’ve gone ahead and copied and pasted a few of the more intriguing bits from the reader’s list, but you can check out much more here. The part about Jack Ryan popping out of coffins whilst masturbating was… Um, interesting?

Someone has left my cake out in the rain, because Donna Summer is no longer with us.  She worked hard for that money! So hard for it, honey. Sorry – I’m typing these as fast as I can before everyone else gets as cheesy. Donna passed away at age 63 in Florida while battling cancer.

Summers (along with her famous producer Giorgio Moroder) crafted some of the most influential music of the 1970s. Momma was a PIONEER when it came to dance music and R&B. I am not a Rolling Stone music critic, so I can not describe her range or anything boring like that. I can tell you that I am not old enough to have been around when she was dropping “Bad Girls”, “Hot Stuff”, “I Feel Love” and the like, but I know these are mainstays for a reason. Oh shit – “Last Dance”!

Her accomplishments (via Wikipedia) include being “a five-time Grammy Award winner. Summer was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach number one on the US Billboard chart, and she also charted four number-one singles in the United States within a thirteen-month period.” DAMN!

Obviously, dance music and gays in the 70s were strongly identified with each other, so Donna was queen. Until she took some guff in the 80s when some stories dropped that quoted her saying some negative things about gays in relation to AIDS. Which was ridic because that’s about 3/4 of her damn audience! Donna later issued an apology via ACT UP saying it was a “terrible misunderstanding”. Make of that what you will. Everybody makes mistakes. She paid, because you didn’t see her on the charts much after that. However – she did sue The New York Times successfully for slander and donated to a bunch of AIDS charities so make of it what you will!

Nevertheless, she was one of the greats and it is with great sadness that we say goodbye to her.

Check out some of Donna’s songs and videos after the break. If you were into her, let us know what your favorite Donna Summer song is!

What the fuck is wrong with my dick? First, it was this picture of Russell Brand looking like an obnoxious juicebox, and now I’m getting a boner from this picture of Sacha Baron Cohen‘s butt? This is not okay! Someone needs to take my dick to finishing school and teach it how to be normal.

Ugh. I’m disgusted with myself.
