FCC. We were hit with cyberattack after John Oliver Net Neutrality segment. “Beginning on Sunday night at midnight, our analysis reveals that the FCC was subject to multiple distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDos),” FCC chief information officer David Bray said in a statement Monday. “These were deliberate attempts by external actors to bombard the FCC’s comment system with a high amount of traffic to our commercial cloud host.”
DILD-OH! New York Mets tweet photo of infielder standing next to sex toy.
OKLAHOMA. House passes resolution declaring abortion murder: “The resolution, passed on a voice vote without any debate, carries no force of law. But it takes the remarkable step of specifically accusing the Supreme Court of “overstepp[ing] its authority and jurisdiction” in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, two landmark decisions that protected a woman’s right to seek an abortion.”
MATT DRUDGE. Trump needs a military march.
STACEY ABRAMS. Could she become the first Black female governor in the nation’s history?
CASSINI SAYS NO. NASA denies request froom actor Milo Ventimiglia.
TEXAS. Anti-LGBT “bathroom bill” misses deadline: “Up against bill-killing deadlines, the House State Affairs Committee on Monday did not act on House Bill 2899, which some were hoping would serve as an alternative to the Senate’s “bathroom bill.” That means the proposal won’t reach the Calendars Committee, which sets the House’s daily agenda. The proposal, by Republican state Rep. Ron Simmons of Carrollton, would have banned political subdivisions, including school districts, from enacting or enforcing policies to protect a class of persons if those aren’t already protected by federal or state law as applied to bathrooms, showers or changing facilities.”
QUEEN. Rami Malek talks about playing Freddie Mercury in the new biopic.
MURDER SCENE. Gianni Versace murder scene recreated on Ocean Drive.
CARTER WILKERSON. Getting his chicken nuggets. “On Tuesday morning, Carter Wilkerson, a 16-year-old high school junior in Reno, Nev., became the owner of history’s most-retweeted tweet, knocking Ellen DeGeneres and her famous Oscars selfie off her perch. (For those unfamiliar, a retweet is the act of sharing someone else’s tweet so a new audience can see it.)”
FOOD FOR SUMMER. Prosecco and rosé popsicles:
TOO HOT TUESDAY. Shiro.

VIDEO: Whoopi Goldberg and Isis King accept Outstanding Reality Program award for ‘Strut’ at GLAAD Media Awards
VIDEO: Whoopi Goldberg and Isis King accept Outstanding Reality Program award for ‘Strut’ at GLAAD Media Awards
Oxygen’s Strut took home the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Reality Program at the 28th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at the New York Hilton Midtown in New York City on Saturday. Executive producer Whoopi Goldberg and model Isis King accepted the award on the show’s behalf, joined onstage by Cecilio “CeCe” Asuncion, Laith De La Cruz, Dominique Jackson, Ren Spriggs, and Arisce Wanzer. Mr. Robot co-stars Carly Chaikin and Christian Slater presented the award.
Accepting the award, Whoopi Goldberg urged paying close attention to anti-transgender lawmakers up for re-election in two years, slamming them for putting partisanship above the lives of transgender Americans: “If it ain’t about the people, it’s about the party, and it should never be about the party — it should always be about the people.”
Cast member Isis King highlighted the show’s impact, calling attention to the lack of representation of trans people, “especially trans people of color who are just living their lives and following their dreams.”
Strut follows a group of transgender models working at Slay Model Management, the world’s first exclusively transgender modeling agency. While transgender models are not new to the modeling world – having graced magazine covers and catwalks for decades – Strut offers an exclusive look into how these models navigate the industry’s high levels of competition, family acceptance, and breaking down gender barriers and discriminatory beauty standards.
The Los Angeles GLAAD Media Awards were held April 1 at the Beverly Hilton. The 28th Annual GLAAD Media Awards are presented by Delta Airlines, Hilton, Ketel One Vodka, Liberty Mutual Insurance, and Wells Fargo.
The GLAAD Media Awards recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community and the issues that affect their lives. They also fund GLAAD’s work to amplify stories from the LGBTQ community that build support for equality and acceptance.

Conrad Hilton, Heir to Hotel Fortune, Explodes at Cops in Homophobic Rant: WATCH
Conrad Hilton, younger brother of Paris Hilton and heir to the family fortune, exploded at police officers in a homophobic rant as he was arrested over the weekend at EG. Daily’s home.
TMZ obtained video of Conrad’s arrest early Saturday morning outside E.G.’s home, and he accused one of the officers of touching his penis, then screams a homophobic epithet. He also screamed rape.
Law enforcement sources say he also used the n-word. The person who shot the video bleeped that word.
He also screamed “I’m Conrad motherf***ing Hilton, don’t you forget it.”
Hilton, 23, is locked up in a jail cell on $60,000 bail—and his long-suffering parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, are said to be trying to use his latest arrest to force Conrad to get proper medical help.
The latest Hilton nightmare began to unfold this weekend after Conrad, Paris Hilton’s little brother, was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly stealing Rick Salomon’s Bentley and trying to break into the house of Salomon’s daughter, Hunter, who is Hilton’s ex-girlfriend…
…Conrad allegedly drove the stolen vehicle to Hunter’s house and tried to break in before he was collared.

Comey’s Testimony on Huma Abedin Forwarding Emails Was Inaccurate
FBI director James Comey generated national headlines last week with his dramatic testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, explaining his “incredibly painful” decision to go public about the Hillary Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. Perhaps Comey’s most surprising revelation was that Huma Abedin — Weiner’s wife and a top Clinton deputy — had made…
