When I opened twitter fox this morning the last thing I expected to see was that Stephen Gately had died. His family and friends must be devastated.

Then there was the below which I've seen a few times on my flist. I'm not in the Supernatural fandom but I've been to plenty of cons and the thought of some sad idiot thinking it's okay to mock like that really makes my blood boil.

'Comedian' Jim Norton is staying at the Wincon hotel and tweeted thus:

The hotell is FULL of obese women who blog about ghost stories. Feels more like a herd than a convention. Fat bloggers. Yuck and yuck.

I'd never even heard of the guy before this, but I now know he's lower than a snake's belly.

Talking of low people. I was watching the X Factor last night and still can't believe what Dannii said about Danyl. Maybe he does come across as over confident but his performance was amazing. That all she could find to remark on was the fact the newspapers had been reporting he was bi. Cheap shot, Dannii. ETA: She's released a statement saying she was making a point he shouldn't have had to change the gender pronouns of the song, which yeah. But the way she said it was terrible.

More cheerful things. Overnight MCR has achieved daily communities for all five guys.
We had

mikeyway_daily and

daily_bob but there's now

Finally, last night

this is the most hilarious photo ever. but &ryan; :DDDDDDDDDDDD

Ryan is adorable with his hair and his shiny suitcase <3

I'm very happy to see the guys. My only problem is that there's a part in me that wants to tutt and tap them on the butt and go "Go get yourselves haircuts, young men!" ... Oh, the tragedy of fangirling such young guys! lol

See, I love both of their hairstyles, especially Ryan with his mega curls. They're amazing!

Oh, god. Cut your hair, Jon Walker.

Ryan...why are you holding a ridiculous silver suitcase and what's in it?

This piiiiiiiiiiiic. Oh, boys.

It seems to be an unpopular opinion but I like his hair. It's all long and flicky. Just no putting it into a ponytail, JWalk!

themoononastick suggested it was a make-up case and they go around trying to sell the stuff. Which is an idea that delights me.

It disturbs me. I don't know why. I think it makes his face look funny.

Oh, god. "*ding dong* Avon Men!" "Wtf?"

.. I'd ~~write~~ read It.

Ahahaha, see I sold Avon for years, James too, so I had an Avon man in my house.

I keep thinking of Ryan trying to sell make-up and having to laugh.

Ryan would be using it all before they could sell it. (Because in my heart of hearts made up Ryan is default.)

WTF Minogue? I'm suprised Simon's head didn't explode.

Makes anything they said about Adam on Idol look very polite by comparison.

She's released a statement saying she was making a point that he shouldn't have had to change the gender pronouns on the song he was singing, which makes much more sense. But the timing and way she said it last night couldn't have been worse.

Oh man, Stephen Gately? I used to listen to Boyzone. I wasn't a fan but damn. That's sad. :(

\o/ Daily Frank! Awesome.

Yeah, poor Stephen. It was such a shock, he's so young.

I thought you'd be interested in a daily Frank community :D

So sad about Stephen Gately :(

It really is :(

I wasn't really a big Boyzone fan, but Stephen's death makes me very sad :-(.

Also, this Jim Norton guy can just fuck off. Grrr.

I enjoyed some of Boyzone's music but was never fannish about them, but I always thought Stephen was a very cool guy, and he had the best smile.

Too right. Ass.

Jim Norton needs to look in a mirror:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Norton_%28comedian%29

It might be telling that he was in a movie called A Couple of Dicks.

He really does and I think that movie title says it all.

Dude, 33 is *way* too young - how horrible for Andrew and their family and friends.

(also - Mr Norton - classy, so you are.)

It really is too young. I feel so bad for them all.

Some people just need to stfu. There's no need for it at all.

I don't know who that Jim Norton person is but he needs to have his balls kicked by someone with pointy shoes.

I think Ryan looks fine, but not so sure about Jon :S I was a fan of the short hair + beard combo.

I've never heard of Jim Norton before, I'm glad that I hadn't because he sounds like a total offensive idiot.

Poor Jon *pets him* But I have to agree, he really made the short hair and beard combo work.

I liked it when it was a little long as well, but this is too much for me :( And no beard! He's so getting kicked out of the Hotass Bearded Dudes Club by Spencer and Bob.

GODDAMN RYAN ROSS!!!
*words can't express the droooool*

his hair grows more prettyful every day <3

Ryan's hair is amazing!

It's so glossy and curly.

I like Jon's hair! But as you say, no ponytails, JWalk!

Ryan, though.... Ryan looks like he's about 12, and has just been abandoned by family and loved ones to strike out on his own in the big bad world with only his shiny silver suitcase and his extremely skinny legs to see him through. Or alteratively that he is being shipped off to boarding school, big bad world, suitcase, etc. (In either scenario, I think Jon gets cast as the plucky, streetwise one with the witty quips.)

Or maybe Ryan has been entrusted with an alien... ~~suitcase~~ eggcase, with useful attached handle? Srsly, that thing looks like it's glowing. o.O

YES! Stand next to me and become my partner in admiring Jon's hair. But any ponytails and it's game over.

OMG! Ryan! You're making me so sad for him with his little silver suitcase. But at least he has Jon.

Oh man, now I don't know which scenario I like the best, because aliens are never not awesome.

That's terrible, 33 is far too young to die!

I bet that Jim Norton guy isn't exactly slim and athletic himself. But of course it's different for men! It's women who shouldn't be allowed in public spaces unless they're under 25 and look like supermodels. *kicks him repeatedly where it hurts the most*

O___o Oh dear, that's a lot of flowing locks. And is that suitcase glowing? Very suspicious I think!

It is. I just hope it's not something sketchy because I've always liked Stephen.

I was fuming when I read about Norton. What right has he got to judge people like that? I have no idea who the man is and I'm glad.

They're beautiful flowing locks, and yes, I think the suitcase is glowing. With alien eggs it's been suggested *g*

I think Jon could rock the hair but he needs to guard against just looking sloppy. Like, if he would tuck his shirt in, then he'd be less at risk with the hair. Is my opinion. Ryan just looks adorable.

That's a good point. Jon doesn't want to look scruffy.
