We are truly impressed!!

Bill O'Reilly did a very admirable thing Monday when he defended Ellen DeGeneres amidst the hatred spewed from One Million Moms.

The organization wishes to boycott JC Penney as long as Ellen is their spokesperson because she's gay.

And when a woman tries to make a case for OMM, Bill rebuts with:

Go Adam!!

We've always thought he was a fine gentleman, but this piece of info just makes him even hotter!!

After years and years of post-Grammy celebrating at an El Lay restaurant, Adam Levine and Maroon 5 made a choice to stop that tradition once they found out the Mexican restaurant supported Prop 8.

Prop 8 is the bitch that made gay marriage illegal again in California…

Adam expressed his disdain for opponents of equality:

Wonder if they'll start a petition like the Nickelback-hatin' people of Detroit…

Last month, we learned that Kim Kardashian had signed on to co-star in Tyler Perry's upcoming movie The Marriage Counselor.

Now, many Tyler Perry fans are lashing out at the filmmaker, and some are even threatening to boycott the movie if he doesn't fire Kim!

Apparently, fans believe that Kim K does NOT stand for Perry's Christian values…and they don't appreciate her "exploitation of black males."

Here's what an angry fan had to say about Kim K in the movie:

The Jackson kids have made it clear - they will NOT be attending the Conrad Murray on trial.

Prince, Paris, and Blanket Jackson are boycotting the Michael Jackson manslaughter trial because the events are just too painful for them to relive.

As we earlier reported, Prince and Paris saw their father's body right after he died and Prince was considering being a witness in the trial.

MJ's mom, Katherine, is said to be very relieved that the children do not want to be involved and has since been extremely unhappy after prosecutor David Walgren released a picture of Michael's body during the opening statements of the trial.

Honestly, this is for the best. The children are too young and having to go through the pain all over again is just too much for them. We're sure there's enough evidence against Murray without needing the use of the kids.

Following the execution of Troy Davis, a man convicted for the murder of a police officer despite the overwhelming amount of disagreement from American citizens, Michael Moore has thought it best to boycott the state of Georgia.

Troy even begged for a lie detector test to save his life, but it wasn't given.

Not only were everyday citizens outraged, Hollywood got involved too. Alec Baldwin, Kim Kardashian, and Diddy (to name a few) all called on the power of Twitter to send a message to the peachy state.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Troy was given lethal injection Wednesday night, and it shook America's belief in the justice system once again.

And now, among many others, Michael Moore is boycotting the state, urging:

QVC has a very angry Jane Fonda on their hands!

The 71 year old actress was supposed to promote her new memoir Prime Time on Saturday, but was axed from the schedule because QVC feared viewer boycotts.

After getting the news, Jane immediately took to her blog to blast the shopping channel:

I was to have been on QVC today to introduce my book, “Prime Time,” about aging and the life cycle. The network said they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear. I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well funded and organized political extremist groups. And that they did it without talking to me first. I have never shied away from talking about this as I have nothing to hide. I could have pointed out that threats of boycotts are nothing new for me and have never prevented me from having best selling books and exercise DVDs, films, and a Broadway play. Most people don’t buy into the far right lies. Many people have reached out to express how excited they were about my going onto QVC and hearing about my book.

Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing with these myths. In this case, they denied a lot of people the chance to hear about a book that can help make life better, easier and more fulfilling. I am deeply grateful for all of the support I have been getting since this happened, including from my Vietnam Veterans friends.

QVC eventually released a statement, saying: "It’s not unusual to have a schedule change with our shows and guests with little or no notice."

Way to pussyfoot around the issue.

NOT cool!

Back in November, we were VERY disappointed to learn that Kodak had pulled its ads from airing during Teen Nick's popular series, DeGrassi: The Next Generation.

At the time, we heard that Kodak has received a slew of emails from the Florida Family Association (FFA) for supporting a show that "targets teens with gay propaganda and other immoral behavior." The FFA seems to REALLY have it out for the show because there's not only gay characters, but a transgender one as well.

We were pleased to learn that Kodak is once again advertising on the show, but NOW the FFA is at it again, and they're continuing to harass Degrassi show sponsors, including Penguin Viking, Verizon, Colgate, and Hewlett Packard.

Here's what FFA founder David Canton had to say about his issues with Degrassi:
