Hey everyone! This is for all Seattleites and those that know anyone in the good city of Seattle!

I don't know who follows these people but I learned recently that the Westboro Baptist Church is going to be making an appearance here in Seattle on June 18, 2011 to protest at the Taking Back Sunday concert at the Showbox. For those of you who aren't incredibly familiar with the place, the Showbox is about a block or so away from Pike Place Market.

I was hoping to spread the word and try and get people to rally together for a counter protest like the one that happened over at the San Diego Comic Con. Nothing incredibly serious, just something so people aren't so focused on the WBC's stupidity.

And then we can go have ice cream or something afterwards!

There is a Facebook event page if you have one and would like to add your two cents or say your goin'~!

The time would be from 5:30PM-6:30PM on Saturday June 18th, 2011.

Please spread the word!

Thanks everyone!

Westboro Baptist Church is at it again.

Much as it threatened to do at the funerals of Heath Ledger and Natasha Richardson, the small Kansas church—which has notoriously picketed the funerals of fallen U.S. soldiers as part of a crusade against homosexuality—is directing its rhetoric at Hollywood in threatening to protest at Elizabeth Taylor 's funeral.

"No RIP Elizabeth Taylor who spent her life in adultery and enabling proud f-gs. They cuss her in hell today. #Westboro will picket funeral!" tweeted Margie Phelps, daughter of Westboro Baptist Church pastor Fred Phelps.

Though if the past is any guide...

They may be all (hate) talk. Despite threats, the group were apparently no-shows at Richardson's funeral, and Ledger's funeral in Australia was a private ceremony.  

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-1 earlier this month that the Westboro congregation was protected by the First Amendment—if not standards of human decency—when it protested at the funeral of a Marine who had died in Iraq, with some people wielding signs that read "God Hates F-gs" and "America Is Doomed."

The soldier's father sued the congregation for sizable damages and won, but the appeals process ultimately led to the high court.

"Fred Phelps and his vitriolic anti-gay followers are simply trying to exploit their so-called 'faith' by spreading messages of hate at a time when Americans are grieving the loss of an extraordinary woman, actress and advocate," GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios tells E! News.

"Overwhelmingly, communities of faith are beginning to embrace lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender congregants and sending messages that promote equality for all. GLAAD is urging media to share Elizabeth Taylor's legacy with stories of hope and acceptance, and which highlight her life's work to create a world in which everyone is respected and valued for who they are."

Taylor, who died earlier today at 79 after being in ill health for some time, was a tireless advocate for AIDS awareness and research and is revered by the gay community for her support and philanthropy.

"It's impossible to underestimate Elizabeth Taylor's impact on the fight against AIDS from the very beginning," said Craig E. Thompson, executive director of AIDS Project Los Angeles. "We're simply devastated by her loss."

"Today, we've lost one of the boldest advocates our community has seen," he added, "but her tremendous impact lives with us."

The two-time Oscar winner cofounded the American Foundation of AIDS Research, or amFAR, which also paid its respects to its late "Founding International Chairman" today.

"Dame Elizabeth's compassion, radiance, and generosity of spirit will be greatly missed by us all," the organization said in a statement. "She leaves a monumental legacy that has improved and extended millions of lives and will enrich countless more for generations to come."

But while there will surely be a memorial in Hollywood to commemorate the iconic star, the issue of where she'll be laid to rest isn't exactly set in stone. In recent years, Taylor had said that she wanted to be buried next to two-time husband Richard Burton in Wales.

Wherever the grand dame can rest in peace, we're all for it.

this week we'll say farewell to fall. so we'll meet in nature

we'll play bowling this saturday.

The singer, who has children Ruby, 3, and 20-month-old Dexter with ex-fiancé Gavin Henson, said that she will always put her kids in front of her romances.

She told The Sun: "I would drop a man like a hot chip if my children said they didn't like him. It's all about my children and that's the way things will always remain."

Church, who is rumoured to be dating musician Jonathan Powell, also explained that she and Henson are united when it comes to their kids.

She said: "If you are going to be realistic about it, it doesn't always work out like that. We had to face up to it and realise it just wasn't working. My life has been thrown wide open."

The 24-year-old, who is relaunching her pop career with new album Back To Scratch, added that she is concerned about promoting her album in America in case it causes problems for her children.

"I will have to go to America and promote my album. I'll give it a go but I am worried about uprooting the kids, I want them to see their father. Even though we live separate lives, we're still a family unit."
