Gay Adult Film Star Cliff Jensen Reportedly Still Unconscious After Brutal Beating in Prison
Gay adult film actor Cliff Jensen has reportedly been brutally beaten in prison, leaving him unconscious and near-dead.
According to Jensen’s Twitter feed, which is being operated by someone other than Jensen, Jensen was attacked on October 21. Though he was not expected to survive, Jensen pulled through. However, he is still unconscious according to the anonymous person manning his Twitter.
Five days and Cliff still not concious. Please keep sending him your thoughts and prayers.

Good news this morning – Cliff is going to live! He faces a very long recovery but the Doctor said he was a “fighter.”

A series of since-deleted tweets document the alleged attack,
Hi, this is not Cliff tweeting today, and I have some terrible news. Last night Cliff was attacked in the prison where he is awaiting his / hearing. According to the Hospital Chaplain he is not expected to survive, although they are still keeping him alive in ICU while we have / private Doctors from the Mayo Clinic complete a diagnosis. When they are any updates I will post them here. Please send him your prayers. / We have gotten a court order to transfer Cliff from a county hospital to a private hospistal which has the best head trauma unit in the area / He is still sedated and the next 72 hours are critical to his survival. The admitting doctors at the new hospital seem very positive.
Other tweets appear to blame someone by the name of “Jaclyn”, who may be an ex, for filing a false complaint against Jensen that resulted in him being sent to prison. Some of the earlier tweets from the account appear to have been written by Jensen himself.
So have learned a lot overnigt! “Jaclyn” aka “Cheyenne” aka “Rock Star Desserts” aka ” Lil J Enterprises” has been using my contact list.

This prison is much rougher and tougher than the last one. If Jaclyn’s goal is to get me stabbed that part of her plan may be working!

Some deleted tweets about Jaclyn read:
“In my opinion this is the result of a campaign against him mounted by Jaclyn, When she doesn’t get what she wants she lashes out. / She got him fired from his job and filed a false complaint which caused him to be at the prison where he was attacked awating a hearing. / As usual, Jaclyn is now hiding from the process server – she always files a false complaint and then runs at court time. We are trying to / Expedite his hearing but without her being served we can’t do that. She is literally now kiling him with her lies.”
Jensen was arrested in Los Angeles in August on charges of domestic violence and violating his probation in Florida. Jensen was arrested in the past for grand theft auto, burglary and criminal mischief.

Gruesome Pictures Emerge After ISIS Stones ‘Gay Men’ to Death in Syria
More evidence of unbridled horror has leaked out of Syria, revealing ISIS militants targeting men who are accused of being gay.
Terror Monitor, an international group that keeps its eyes on terror organizations, published a set of pictures that show two men, before and after they were stoned to death, reports Towleroad.
The photographs, some of which graphically depict the bloody aftermath of the stoning, were shared via Twitter.
You can see them here, but be warned: Some readers may find them too disturbing to view.
This incident is just the latest in a string of evil acts by the radical Islamic group across the Middle East, including public executions of men and boys accused of being gay.

'South Park' Wants You To Submit Fan Art For Wednesday's Show
'South Park' Wants You To Submit Fan Art For Wednesday's Show
“South Park” fans with a predilection for cartoon loving (What a niche!): now is your time to shine.
An opportunity for fan art to appear on the long-running Comedy Central series was posted on the official “South Park” website on Sunday with very specific instructions.
The “South Park” powers that be are looking for “Slash/Yaoi/Tweek + Craig” submissions only, meaning artwork that features a sexual or romantic relationship between the characters Craig and Tweek. The Craig and Tweek ship goes by the name “Creek.” Apparently, there’s already a good amount of fan fiction involving the duo.
Interested parties must submit art by Monday at 6 p.m. PST. The fan art will be incorporated into Wednesday’s show.
“South Park” opened its 19th season with an episode that took aim at Deflategate and featured a reliably offensive depiction of Caitlyn Jenner. The series is nothing if not consistently controversial. We’ll see how this one pans out.

Get Ready Because The Cher Musical Is Almost Here
Get Ready Because The Cher Musical Is Almost Here
If ever there was a diva worthy of having her life turned into a Broadway musical, it would be Cherilyn Sarkisian, AKA Cher.
The 69-year-old entertainer has been very hard at work on the stage play about her life. Plans for the autobiographical featuring her biggest hits from the past six — yes, six! — decades were first announced back in 2012, but then the project stalled. Now, according to the “Believe” singer herself, it’s back on track and may be near completion.

Over the weekend, Cher tweeted that she was busy working with Rick Elice, co-creator of the hit musical Jersey Boys:
Spent last 3 Days with Rick?? He is Writer of Cher Musical. We had so much fun??? He wrote Jersey Boys. Hhmmm… She’ll be more of a PAIN?
— Cher (@cher) October 25, 2015
When the project was initially announced three years ago, Cher revealed that it would focus on three different periods in her life –before she met Sonny Bono, after the couple separated through her Believe tour in 1999, and the present day — with a different actress playing her in each era.

“Prod r trying to write musical of my life at the moment! Its very interesting idea,” she tweeted at the time, adding that she would be closely involved in the writing process “cause I was there and know stories that no1 knows but me.”
No word yet on when the project might be complete or which actresses are in the running to play Cher.

The Dixie Chicks Cover Lana Del Rey’s ‘Video Games’ – LISTEN
Country music trio the Dixie Chicks gave a country twist to one of Lana Del Rey’s most popular songs.
Performing at a school benefit in Mountainview, California, the Chicks covered Del Rey’s “Video Games”, infusing their at-times melancholy and twang-tinged sound to the modern classic.
The Dixie Chicks may want to consider a cover of the entire Born To Die album a la Ryan Adams and 1989.

Don't Let Them Eat Cake, Antigay Baker Begs Colorado Supreme Court
Don't Let Them Eat Cake, Antigay Baker Begs Colorado Supreme Court
An antigay baker in Colorado is asking the state’s Supreme Court to weigh in on his fight to deny service to same-sex couples, reports The Denver Post.
Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colo., has seen his legal requests denied at every turn since he was first found to have violated Colorado’s nondiscrimination law when refusing to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple in 2012. Phillips admitted that he had denied service to other LGBT customers, though the state’s investigation found that he agreed to make a cake for a dog wedding.
In August, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled that Phillips cannot refuse to serve same-sex couples based on his self-professed Christian beliefs. That ruling affirmed several previous rulings, by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission in 2014 and the Colorado Civil Rights Division in 2013, which found that Phillips violated the state’s nondiscrimination law when he refused to make a wedding cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig, who married in Massachusetts in 2012, then held a reception with friends and family in Denver shortly thereafter.
While same-sex marriage became legal in Colorado in October 2014, the state’s pre-existing nondiscrimination law prohibits businesses that serve the public from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, in addition to several other traits.
Nevertheless, Phillips has asked the Colorado Supreme Court to review his case.
Watch the Denver Post‘s report on the latest development below.
