Miss Utah gets another chance to answer Miss USA question
Miss Utah, Marissa Powell, didn't win Sunday night's Miss USA pageant after botching her interview question, but she did create one of the most viral video momnet in years.
In the interview portion of the competition for the final five contestants, the 21-year-old awkwardly responded to judge NeNe Leakes's question about income inequality. Her response contains the now-infamous phrase, "create education better."
Powell, who finished the evening as third runner-up and Miss Photogenic, was given a shot at redemption on the Today show on Tuesday.
Anchor Matt Lauer asks her the question again, to which she replies: "So this is not OK. It needs to be equal pay for equal work, and it's hard enough already to earn a living, and it shouldn't be harder just because you're a woman."
Powell conceded that her nerves got the better of her on Sunday, and she answered the question without thinking.
Gotta ask though - is it weird that the winner, Miss USA, doesn't look at Powell once she's onset? Or is it just me?

(via Mashable)Eldest Duggar child now to advocate anti-gay policy for certified hate group
Josh Duggar, the oldest of the clan of children who are the focus of TLC’s reality series 19 Kids and Counting has accepted a position as executive director with Family Research Council, which has been classified as an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and has a long history of attacking the LGBT community.
Duggar made the announcement via Twitter yesterday (see above).
“If Josh Duggar wants to make a living dehumanizing and denigrating LGBT people and their families, that’s his business, but FRC’s lies and stereotypes need to be treated as such,” said GLAAD Spokesperson Wilson Cruz. “Josh’s new boss Tony Perkins has actually accused LGBT equality advocates of being pawns of the devil. Fans of his family’s reality show ought to know that.”

Music video: Pet Shop Boys "Vocal"
Official music video for the Pet Shop Boys new single "Vocal."
From the Pet Shop Boys website:
This short film has been produced and directed by the filmmaker and photographer, Joost Vandeburg. He has created it using authentic amateur film footage shot at various raves in the late 80s, along with some footage from the Haçienda in Manchester.
The video (and the song) was inspired by the way British youth at this time found its own freedom with a new culture epitomised by dance music and raves: "It's in the music/It's in the song/And the feeling of the warmth around us all is so strong."
