Bow-tie enthusiast and Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson stopped by Chicago yesterday to lend his support in the fight for same-sex marriage, the legislation for which may pass in the Illinois General Assembly before the session ends on June 9. Said Ferguson: "A lot of people who were not comfortable with marriage equality … turn on the television and see a show that has a lot of different families in it — and one of those families just happens to be gay. They’re realizing they have a great time watching the show, then they’re watching a gay couple that’s having a lot of the same problems and issues they have. They realize ‘Oh they’re not so different from me.’ And at that point, we’re in their living rooms." [Chicagoist]

"This is Cher, bitches! Do what she says!" Kathy Griffin, you might be right.

● Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss doesn't think her ex-husband Fred Armisen is as funny as you do. "One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, 'He's so great doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.' To me, that sums it up," she says. [PageSix Magazine]

Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper’s New Year’s Eve broadcast is always funny.  Each year Kathy does something to get fired only to be brought back again the next time the ball drops. What can viewers expect from this year’s show aside from watching Cooper try and stifle a case of the giggles?   If the D-lister has her way, Ryan Seacrest better start running now.

From vegans to Bristol Palin, nothing is off-limits for comedian Kathy Griffin—except number 6. While preparing to sully the Great White Way with Kathy Griffin Wants a Tony, the two-time Emmy Award winner, Grammy nominee, and New York Times bestselling author took a minute to rattle off life’s little irritants, and to remember the little people (in skinny jeans) who helped her get to where she is today.

First there was Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley, then Brigitte Nielsen and Flava Flav, now this: Kathy Griffin and the Old Spice Guy are apparently seeing each other. Or, as Dlisted puts it, "Kathy is reaching for the Old Spice lube." Definitely the best bizarre celebrity pairing of 2011 so far.

New York Knicks fans showed Justin Bieber their true colors last night, booing the 16-year-old pop star when his image graced Madison Square Garden's JumboTron. For Bieber fans, it must have been a shocking, WTF moment. But for everyone else, it was solid, clean fun. Who doesn't enjoy watching someone who's used to the adulation of millions try and smile through the humiliation of a mass public rejection? We sure do, whether they deserve it or not. In fact, we love it so much that we'd like you to join us as we relive the five best instances of famous people facing the wrath of an anonymous crowd.

● Ryan Gosling at the Blue Valentine premiere: I have a restaurant in Beverly Hills called Tagine. I'm biased, but I think it's very good! ● Bobby Flay at Food Network's opening of Barney's holiday windows: We love The Breslin. I eat at Keith McNally's places a lot. In L.A., Bazaar, Jose Andres's place, where I order the classic tapas. ● Morimoto at Food Network's opening of Barney's holiday windows: I'm going to open a new restaurant in Tribeca that will close at 4 a.m. - no Japanese, no sashimi, no sushi. I don't know when I'll open it.

Maybe you picked up a nasty scar on your forehead that won’t heal until spring. Maybe you’re starring in a hit TV series that requires you not change your look. Maybe your forehead is feeling pretty cold these days. For whatever reason, it might be time to make a temporary change. Thanks to Urban Outfitters, you can now add bangs to your ensemble in a matter of minutes—no scissors required. On sale now, the clip-on bangs are made from real human hair! This means you can torture them just as you do your own hair—styling by way of straightener, curling iron, or dye will not damage the locks (anymore than it damages your own hair).

● Not even one of the worst hosting performances in SNL history could keep Jason Sudekis from bedding Don Draper's girl. That's how cool he is (Don, not Jason). [Socialite Life] ● Bryan Singer and Taylor Lautner are friends! How cool is that? Less cool: Taylor dissed his friend Bryan by not signing on to his film X-Men: First Class. With friends like these...[Blastr] ● Even with the not-terrible looking Devil, audiences seem to have really given up on M. Night Shyamalan. I see a dead career. [Film Drunk]
