The New York Times editorial page Wednesday suggested President Barack Obama should find a way to temporarily suspend discharges of gay and lesbian soldiers.
"President Obama should see if there is indeed any action he could take on his own while awaiting the military’s assessment," the Times concludes. "In the end, it will be up to Congress to root out 'don’t ask, don’t tell' by overturning the law that brought it about."

Ryan Phillippe was on Conan O’Brien on Friday night to promote his new film, Stop Loss. Like his appearance on “The Tonight Show,” his interview was chock full of quotable moments. I’m not a huge fan of the guy but after watching these recent interviews he seems like less of a jerk to me than I previously assumed.

The Huffington Post points to a throwaway mention in the Fox411 Entertainment column, in which Roger Friedman gives Stop Loss a glowing review and mentions as an aside that Ryan Phillippe’s presumed girlfriend, Abbie Cornish, is pregnant:
Phillippe is not the only good actor working in “Stop Loss.” Peirce has stocked the film with talent: Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are his army buddies, Abbie Cornish (whom Phillippe met on the set and apparently is having a child with) and Timothy Olyphant also are featured to great effect.

This made me scour the photo agencies for recent photos of Cornish and she didn’t show up at the premiere of Stop Loss on March 18th. The last event photos I could find of her were at the Sydney premiere of Elizabeth: The Golden Age in November.

Ryan Phillippe was on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night to promote his movie Stop Loss and the interview was pretty interesting. The more I see Phillippe the more respect I have for the guy, because he really seems down to earth. The best part of Phillippe’s segment on Kimmel was the spoof night vision sex video at the end, and you can skip to the bottom to see it now, but I wanted to include a little of his interview too
Ryan’s son Deacon was named after baseball player ancestor
Jimmy asked Ryan about his kids and he said they were doing great.
