Aw! And this is why we continue to adore you, Kim…

Just this afternoon, the President of The United States confirmed his plans to make gay marriage FEDERALLY legal.

YAY!!!!!

After learning about the progressive announcement, the always opinionated Kim Kardashian quickly posted her support for Obama’s decision.

On a recent segment of Keeping Them Honest, Anderson Cooper brought attention to President Obama’s stance on gay marriage…and VP Biden’s as well.

Vice President Biden spoke out on Sunday on Meet The Press, saying he is “absolutely comfortable” with gays marrying…but that Obama ultimately sets the policy.

This caused some confusion and ultimately, the White House had to refute that Biden's comments were consistent with the President's stance on the issue, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Check out the video (above) of Anderson trying to piece together where the White House stands on the issue of same-sex marriage!

Actions surely speak louder than words.

It’s one thing for Biden to say same-sex couples are entitled to the same rights as straight couples, but there is still no federal recognition!

Can we get a witness?!??

Well, sounds like Courtney Love’s rights to her late husband’s estate are dwindling down even more.

Reportedly, Courtney and Kurt Cobain’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, has recently obtained the rights to her dad’s name, likeness and appearance.

Back in 2010, Love received a $2.75 million loan from Frances’ trust fund and still has yet to pay it back.

Recent documents reveal that until Love pays back the loan, she will be unable to profit off of Kurt’s publicity rights.

The docs also show that

Looks like the Jonas Brothers have called it quits…from their record label!

Six years and three albums later, the JoBros are separating with Hollywood Records, a label owned by Disney.

Not only will the boys now be free agents, they have also bought and regained rights to the band’s merchandising, publishing AND most importantly, their master recordings!

Smart move!

You may remember Governor Scott Walker from last May, when he tried to kill a bill that would let same-sex couples be recognized as next of kin for hospital visitation rights.

Yeah, that nice guy.

Well, he's still been busy!

What has been up to? Glad you asked! On Good Friday, he signed some things into law, including: a repeal of workers’ rights to sue, a bill mandating only abstinence-only sex education, a law that places new state limits on abortion.

How did this guy even get his job?? These are basically anti-women, anti-worker, and even anti-children bills that are now law!

And he did it late in the evening on Good Friday, no less, knowing nobody would really be around to notice or object or make a fuss.
