...saw his meeting with her as something other than an opportunity to point her to Jesus. In case you don't know, Melissa Etheridge is yet another performer who sees herself as heroic for having yielded herself to degrading passions, and as a martyr for not having succeeded in forcing everyone to approve of her perversion... yet. If she is to be believed , Warren used his encounter with her mainly...

Say...who remembers Tammy Lynn Michaels? She's the partner of Melissa Etheridge. Michaels ( and Etheridge) are now defending Rick Warren . Remember her now? Uh-huh. She's the one who also stuck up for Isaiah Washington. No bad poetry this time, but she's still just as unmusical. I'd ask how any musician (let alone a gay one) can stand to be partnered to such a woman. But all Etheridge's songs sound...

Fresh from Rufus Wainwright's clumsy attempt to campaign against Proposition 8 by suggesting he didn't really support gay marriage at all comes another example of pop stars who should know better not quite thinking through their stances, as Melissa Etheridge writes to the Huffington Post to try and calm everyone down about Rick Warren taking time off from hating gays to appear at Barack Obama's inauguration:...

Legendary rocker Melissa Etheridge has come away with a different opinion of pastor Rick Warren after speaking with him recently. President-elect Barack Obama has chosen the Orange County mega-pastor to deliver the invocation at his swearing, which has dismayed many Hollywood liberals. Previously, actor Alan Cumming had taken to HuffPo to voice his opinion. Melissa also [...]

Doing what she does best, the Hasselbot made headlines this week following a doozy of a View on Tuesday in which she took issue with not being invited to this year's White House Christmas party. "Maybe I didn't do enough...

On The View yesterday, Melissa Etheridge called out Elizabeth Hasselbeck for misleading viewers about the ramifications of marriage equality, then asked Hasselbeck directly for her personal opinion on the issue. Surprisingly, Hasselbeck allowed that "the rights should be equal" but added that the Prop 8 vote should stand. Subscribe.

Melissa Etheridge was a guest on The View this morning. She joined the co-hosts on the couch for some chitchat before singing a Christmas song. She took the opportunity to talk passionately about Prop 8, and seemed to be gunning for a feud with Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Had it not been for Sherri Shepherd, who interrupted [...]

I'm really glad that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has found someone who loves her. I'm happy that someone (a man, of course) actually thought she might be worth marrying. Good for you, Hasselbeck. Now it saves me from campaigning against you being able to be with the one you love (and who, for some reason, appears to love you back). OK, I wouldn't do that (obviously), but I might campaign against her being...

Melissa Etheridge stopped by "The View" Tuesday, but before singing a Christmas song she challenged co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck about Prop 8. Etheridge married partner Tammy Lynn Michaels, which whom she has twin two-year olds, in 2003. "To have people vote to take away votes is very un-American," Etheridge told the cohosts talking about her disappointment over Prop 8. She then singled out Elisabeth...
