Day of Rest does not compute.

Blake Lively is virtually unrecognizable when her smile is turned upside down! Rumor has it that Blake and her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley had a big argument on set and may be on the outs! That’s okay; Penn can make a triangle out of the Chace-Ed pairing.

Question: why are B-to-D-list celebrities’ blogs making People.com headlines? First it was the whole hoo-ha over David Archuleta’s video blog and written blog on People magazine’s website, and now it’s Samantha Ronson’s latest blog on her (admirable) love for the sewer that is New York City during the summer. I guess there can’t be any lawsuits if it’s coming straight from the horse’s mouth ...

This past week, the latest findings from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life in the United States was released, and they were interesting. Basically, Americans are delusional, don’t follow logic, and love everyone.

The confusing and illogical results follow:

92% of adults believe in God, even if they don’t practice a religion.
58% say they pray at least once a day.
78% say that there are “absolute standards of right and wrong” but
only 29% rely on religion to define the standards.
74% believe there’s a heaven while 59% believe in a hell.
70%, including major Christian and non-Christian groups (minus the poor Mormons) say “many religions can lead to eternal life.”
68% say “there’s more than one true way to interpret the teachings of my religion”

La la la.

50% say “homosexuality is a way of life that should be accepted by society”.

Most surprising to me was the mere 28% of evangelicals who claimed that religion was their “main influence in their political thinking”.

So ... Obama, McCain, those evangelicals are up for grabs! And I guess we’ll just have to wait for the next president to legalize gay marriage for all citizens of the United States. For now, thank your chosen god for MACACAMA. Or Mormon Mitt Romney, sort of. I love you too!
