It's Halloween on Strictly Come Dancing, which, of course means an array of exuberant costumes and terrifying dancing (sorry, Jeremy).

Fox News guest claims Muslim-only zones in France; Twitter users respond with mocking hashtag
Updated, 8:41amPT, January 18th, 2015
On “Justice with Jeanine” Saturday, Jeanine Pirro apologized for Emereson’s erroneous statement.
“Last week on this program, a guest made a serious, factual error that we wrongly let stand unchallenged and uncorrected,” Pirro said. “The guest asserted that the city of Birmingham, England is totally Muslim, and it is a place where non-Muslims don’t go. Both are incorrect.”
Pirro noted her team found no credible evidence to support the claim that Birmingham is a supposed “no-go” zone for non-Muslims.

The Pentameters Theatre is nestled in one of those lovely narrow streets of Hampstead and has a history which spans four decades. The walls of this black box theatre are donned with photos of past productions and the space is cosy filled with books, a piano and comfortable cushioned chairs. Despite its long history, the theatre continues to present fresh and provocative work to the fringe scene. Their latest offering is Pythagoras (Smith) by award winning poet and writer Dannie Abse.
The story is about the relationship between a doctor and his patient. Thrown into the mix is a bit of magic , philosophy and medicine. It is absolutely brilliant! The play is set in a mental home called the Cedars where our main character Pythagoras ( Matthew Ward) believes himself to be the Greek philosopher of the same name. He is also a magician and has become...

Looking good, bad boy.
Glee's Mark Salling appears dripping wet and disheveled in a pictorial entitled "Dichotomies" in Flaunt. If you click on the photo of Puck, it opens up to him messy and neat, and you can see young Hollywood hunks like Thomas Dekker, Kevin Zegers, Ryan McPartlin, Ed Spellers, Matt Ward and a very cheeky Shiloh Fernandez. In select cities across the country, Gleeks can pay $15 to see the first new episode of Glee up to a week early in screenings to benefit Grammy In the Schools. True Blood has released another "Waiting Sucks" video, this time featuring Sam Trammell. Unfortunately it is not any sort of love scene with Sam and Vampire Bill as has been alluded to.
Season 3 In Production: Sam
The Advocate has announced a partnership with NBC News to produce Glbt news broadcasts and reports. Logo discontinued their branded partnership with CBS News last year.
