We must never forget that being diagnosed with HIV does not mean you're going to die. Magic Johnson has lived for twenty years (almost 10 for myself) with HIV and he continues to work tirelessly for the HIV community. I for one admire his courage, remembering that his diagnosis came nearly two decades ago when so little was known about the virus and medication was not as it is today. Please never forget that HIV does not take your life. HIV gives you a new life.
So live it with purpose and determination.
Help eradicate HIV stigma which truly is the real killer.
Gaga on celibacy: "I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they're going to take my creativity from me through my vagina."
Gaga on relationships: "I'm perpetually lonely. I'm lonely when I'm in relationships. It's my condition as an artist.. I'm drawn to bad romances. And my song ["Bad Romance"] is about whether I go after those [sort of relationships] or if they find me. I'm quite celibate now; I don't really get time to meet anyone."
The shooting of Pirates of Caribbean "On Stranger Tides" began in Hawai and thanks to the dozens of paparrazis and POTC fans which are out there we can share the first pictures and great videos, including new videos showing the shooting of some scenes!
Here is the synopsis released by Disney: "Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman (Penélope Cruz) from his past, but he's not sure if it's love or if she wants to follow him so she can find the lost Fountain of Youth. Things seem clearer when she forces him aboard The Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the infamous Blackbeard (Ian McShane). Here, Jack finds himself on a brand new journey and unsure as to who he should fear more, the woman from his past of the cutthroat pirate".

Attending their daughter Chelsea's most elaborate multi million dollar wedding week celebrations, Bill and Hillary Clinton have never looked better or prouder.
I could not love these two people more than I already do.
The 42nd Presidents TIRELESS efforts is boosting significantly HIV-AIDS funding for 3rd world countries which has literally saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
Hillary Clinton has been a great inspiration to me for nearly twenty years, not only because of her own epic life story and journey, but also because she is a woman not unlike my own mother in many ways.
The whole of America is anticipating the Clinton's sole child's nuptials which take place today.
The biggest question of course is what the bride will wear.
