Colin Farrell, reformed party guy and Angelina Jolie's rumored former lover, seems to be on a roll with turning his life around. First was the donation of his salary to Heath Ledger's daughter, Matilda. Next? He'll stand up as best man for his gay brothers wedding - even traveling to another country to take part in the ceremony. Eamon Farrell is marrying his longtime partner, Steven Mannion, later this summer. Sadly they can't get married in Eamon's home country of Ireland (yet) so they were forced to go abroad. Hopefully that won't be an issue soon! And stateside we'll find out the results of Proposition 8 in California today - fingers crossed that people are allowed to move forward in the name of love and marry whomever they please! Back to Colin, I don't write about him often but this is one person I'm truly thrilled to see is scandal-free these days.UPDATE: Ugh! This just in, via Perez Hilton: [The California Supreme Court has voted to uphold Proposition
8. Gay and lesbian residents of this state will continue to be
treated as second-class and not have access to the same rights, privileges and
protections that married heterosexual couples have. Sad. Sad. Sad. Institutionalized discrimination! The one glimmer of good news is that the 18,000 gay
marriages that took place while it was legal in California will continue to be
recognized and remain valid.]
