Argentina legalizes gay marriage in historic vote

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Argentina legalized same-sex marriage Thursday, becoming the first country in Latin America to grant gays and lesbians all the legal rights, responsibilities and protections that marriage brings to heterosexual couples.
After a marathon debate, 33 lawmakers voted in favor, 27 were against it and 3 abstained in Argentina's Senate in a vote that ended after 4 a.m. Since the lower house already approved it, and President Cristina Fernandez is a strong supporter, it now becomes law as soon as it is published in the official bulletin.
The law is sure to bring a wave of marriages by gays and lesbians who have increasingly found Buenos Aires to be more accepting than many other places in the region.
The approval came despite a concerted campaign by the Roman Catholic Church and evangelical groups, which drew 60,000 people to march on Congress and urged parents in churches and schools to work against passage.
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio said "everyone loses" with gay marriage, and "children need to have the right to be raised and educated by a father and a mother."
Nine gay couples had already married in Argentina after persuading judges that the constitutional mandate of equality supports their marriage rights, but some of these marriages were later declared invalid.
As the debate stretched on for nearly 16 hours, supporters and opponents of held rival vigils through the frigid night outside the Congress building in Buenos Aires.
"Marriage between a man and a woman has existed for centuries, and is essential for the perpetuation of the species," insisted Sen. Juan Perez Alsina, who is usually a loyal supporter of the president but gave a passionate speech against gay marriage.
But Sen. Norma Morandini, another member of the president's party, compared the discrimination closeted gays face to the oppression imposed by Argentina's dictators decades ago.

10 Great Moments in Sports P.D.A.

The best moment of the World Cup arguably happened after the final game. During an interview with his reporter girlfriend, Sara Carbonero, Spain's Cup winning captain, Iker Casillas, went for the gold. He grabbed Carbonero and planted a wet one on her, reducing her on-air professionalism to bumbling giddiness. It won over everyone, even Switzerland.

But that wasn't the only time in sports history that adrenaline and hormones have paired with king-of-the-world delusions for a moment of sheer chemistry. Kissing bandits have been stealing bases for years.

User post: This Week in Celebrity Fashion: Summer Casual

This is a User post: This Week in Celebrity Fashion: Summer Casual

This week, we’re taking a break from red carpet glam because frankly, it’s just too damn hot. Time for some easy summer looks which we could actually afford, find and wear. Don’t worry, they’ll up their game as soon as the humidity goes down.

You know how June through September, your hair decides to escape the confines of your hard work with product and just lives it up? Well, if we use Beyonce as a barometer, you should just let it go. In contrast to her usual super sleek blowouts, her curl explosion looks adorable. I also like her easy to wear jumpsuit, which looks feminine thanks to the loose draping. And it wouldn’t be Lady B without some crazy heels.


A week ago, I was ragging on Jada for looking ridiculous and then she rebounds spectacularly with this summer look. I’m a big fan of the T-shirt dress because it works without the dreaded “trying too hard” curse and the sequins jazz it up so perfectly. And if that’s not enough, the taupe and black cutout shoes take the temperature up a few extra notches.

Bryce is a newbie to COTS but I had to include this look because I thought it was adorable. The messy updo is perfect for the season and the sundress is red carpet worthy because of the gold accents. Everything about this seems effortless and right.

I usually have nothing but love for Zoe but I’m just as unhappy as she looks with this outfit. Her thing is always taking something and putting a bit of twist on it. This is just too obvious. The dress is way too tight and the one shoulder + cutout just seem trashy. The shoes seem giant for someone of her thinness and overwhelm her frame.

J’adore Marion in this Dior! This dress looks so delicate that it seems painted on her. Lace? Love. Bow? Love. Unexpected nude shoes? Like. But it’s all about the dress, with its slight tulip shape. She keeps it simple, without jewelry and just glows.

Is it wrong that after all this time (and so many kids later), we still compare Jen and Angie? Both were working business looks this week, which is always funny to me considering that they could show up to in a meeting in PJ’s, sweats or a granny robe and people would still slobber all over them.

I like Jen’s summery look but don’t get all the colors. Navy scarf with black jacket and brown sandals and a cream bag? A little too much dressing in the dark going on for me.

I find it hilarious that Angie looks like she’s wearing the exact same jacket but she goes for more matching looks with the loose top and matching peeptoes. The winner? Oh, why be cruel?

10 Ways to Volunteer in Haiti

Watches this 10 Ways to Volunteer in Haiti

Six months have passed since the devastating earthquake struck Haiti — the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. While more than half of all Americans made donations to assist the Haitian people, many are deciding to do something more: To travel to Haiti to help. Could you be one of them?

As one Tonic reader who volunteered with Hands on Disaster Responsein Leogane, Haiti writes: "My wife and I just returned from a week there and we cannot say enough good things about our experience. It is hard work — I mean REALLY hard work — and the devastation in Haiti is heartbreaking. But the opportunity to help is also incredibly rewarding."
Builders. Nurses. Therapists. Translators. Teachers. As Haiti continues to rebuild, more volunteers than ever are needed for a variety of jobs. Below we've gathered a list of 10 volunteer opportunities that exist right now, with everything you need to know to get started.

Interested? Log on to the appropriate website. Make that phone call. Take that extra step, and get involved.

1. Hands on Disaster Response is running a rebuilding effort called Project Leogane in the town of Leogane through January 2011. "It is a wonderful organization doing great things for the people of Haiti," writes our Tonic reader. Currently, HODR only needs skilled carpenters, builders, and people with construction experience. Please contact info@hodr.org or click here.

2. From now to mid-August, the Colline Foundation, which was founded to build a top-notch school in Haiti, is organizing new groups of 50 volunteers each week for a 5-day stay (Monday to Friday) to help with relief work, translation, teaching, health care or with a number of programs currently being facilitated by NGOs. Check out their website for more information and to volunteer.

3. The Global Haiti Initiative, an intercollegiate clearinghouse for development programs in Haiti, has a few spots open for their August 14-21 trip to Haiti. They will be doing work in Port-au-Prince and Leogane, as well as building a health clinic. A member of Obama’s administration will be joining them.

Elle Macpherson in trouble for eating rhino horn

Watches this video enjoy Elle Macpherson in trouble for eating rhino horn

We knew supermodels often resorted to weird and wonderful treatments to keep themselves looking in tip top condition, but we bet Elle Macpherson's wishing she never revealed her secret. In a recent interview, the leggy star admitted she indulged in a spot of Chinese medicine, namely powdered rhino horn. "It tastes a little bit like crushed bone and fungus in a capsule," she told Times Online. "Does the job though, it works for me." Now animal rights groups are slamming the model for her choices, pointing out that rhinos are an endangered species because of horn poaching. "Poachers usually shoot or tranquilize the animal before sawing off its horn. Rhinos often die from bleeding to death," they explain. Surely a few vitamins would do the same job, Elle?

The 10 Hottest Good Luck Charms in Sports

we see this The 10 Hottest Good Luck Charms in Sports

A few days after the Lakers won their 16th NBA Championship, Ty Lawson of the Denver Nuggets Tweeted the following:

"I heard if u hit a Kardashian u win a championship.. Kim K holla at me!!! I need ya for 17 min."

He also unselfishly said that, by doing this act, he would be "...willing to take one for the team."

NBA players get a bad rap for being selfish and egotistical. I think Ty proves that he knows how to be a real teammate.

What he was referring to, of course, was the fact that Kim Kardashian was with Reggie Bush when his New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl.

And now her little sister, Khloe, is married to Lamar Odom, who just helped the Lakers win the title.

So, that got us over here at B/R thinking: Who are the top 10 hottest lucky charms in sports today?

Just in case Mr. Lawson doesn't get one of the Kardashians.

Janet Jackson performs at Essence in New Orleans

We can see the Janet Jackson performs at Essence in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS — Janet Jackson enthralled the Essence Music Festival audience Friday, kept them on their feet for more than two hours and reminded fans why seeing her in concert was worth waiting two years.
From the opening notes of "The Pleasure Principle" to "Control" to "Rhythm Nation," the Grammy Award-winning singer enticed, teased and brought her fans on a journey through her No. 1 hits.

"She was unbelievable," said Ed Downs of Miami. "It was definitely worth the wait. I'm happy to see her make a comeback. It was impressive."

Jackson marked her return by closing the festival's first night inside the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. It was her first time at the festival, which runs through Sunday.

Former NBA player Anferenee Hardaway called Jackson's performance "absolutely perfect," and said no one could tell she had been off the concert circuit for any length of time.

"She definitely gets better with age," he said, smiling.

Fans got a glimpse of Jackson's new, sassy, short-cropped hair and her signature, shapely figure on the finale show of American Idol where she rocked classics like "Again" and "Nasty" and her latest release, "Nothing," from the soundtrack of the movie, "Why Did I Get Married Too?," which she also starred in.

But near the end of her show Friday, they were treated with even more as she depicted a risque, S&M scene with a male participant from the audience, whose hands and arms were strapped into a straight jacket as Jackson — in a flesh-toned body suit — worked him over, whip in hand.

He mouthed, "Thank you," and couldn't take his eyes off her, getting roars of approval, looks of envy and applause from the crowd.

"I loved it," said Rose Ellerbee of New York. "It was one of the hottest shows I've seen and then she brought back so many memories. She didn't lose a beat."

Michelle Ebanks, president of Essence Communications Inc., was as excited as anyone to hear Jackson in person. She said festival organizers had invited Jackson numerous times during the last 15 years and this year she finally accepted.

"Prayer works," Ebanks said laughing.

The festival is celebrating the magazine's 40th anniversary this year and Ebanks said they wanted to do so by putting the spotlight on strong, powerful female artists. In addition to Jackson, the lineup includes Gladys Knight, Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Monica, Keri Hilson, Chrisette Michele, Lalah Hathaway, Melanie Fiona, Estelle, Ledisi, Laura Izibor and New Orleans' own Irma Thomas.

"It means a great deal for me to be in the company of such wonderful women, women who I have the pleasure of knowing personally," Jackson said in an interview before her performance. "I'm especially honored to be able to play on a stage that also hosts Gladys Knight. She watched me grow up and I remember her being around the Motown family when I was a kid. It's definitely an honor."
