Mayim Bialik may star on TV’s number one sitcom, but acting is hardly her only passion!

The Big Bang Theory star, who has a doctorate in neuroscience, is all about education and the importance of teaching students STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) from a young age.

“There are a lot of careers that require a science background, even if you’re not working as a scientist per se,” Mayim tells iD magazine in an exclusive interview.

She recently hinted at having kids soon, but it appears that Internet celebrity and Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco is adding to her existing “family” for now.

Already the owner of three pit bull mixes, several horses, and an inherited pet peacock, Kaley adopted a new puppy! Here’s a look at her with Ruby!

Cuoco fell hard for her blond furry on Monday while volunteering with Operation Blankets of Love, a non-profit that supports local shelters, in Granada Hills, Calif.

I honestly never dreamed I would get the chance to see Venus Williams play on Centre Court. She played beautifully in a fantastic match. I feel very fortunate to have been there.

/Bent: Did ‘The Normal Heart’ End Up Really Mattering?

Leave a reply

A couple weeks ago, I watched “The Normal Heart.” At least, I think it was a couple weeks ago? Or was it a month ago? The only thing I vividly remember about it was the scene in the bathhouse where Matt Bomer follows Mark Ruffalo into a steam room. And then, flashing forward to the present to reveal the date that the two are on, Bomer reminiscing about their casual encounter. And then Ruffalo asks amiably, “Wanna start over?” And then they have sex. (What can I say? I’m a huge Matt Bomer fan.)

But I feel the fact that a) I don’t really remember when I watched it and b) I don’t remember anything about the film beyond those scenes and lots of shouting is a problem. I don’t think I am in the minority of finding Ryan Murphy’s treatment of Larry Kramer’s play “fine”, so I wonder if I’m alone in forgetting it so quickly. The issue isn’t merely that the film is forgettable, but the fact that if “The Normal Heart” was supposed to represent something within the queer narrative, it may have failed.

“The Normal Heart” is, for all intents and purposes, an angle of the AIDS epidemic that, at least dramatically, is not seen in comparison to a more conventional “straight savior” narrative (“Philadelphia,” “Dallas Buyers Club). Larry Kramer, who is described by Charles O’Malley as “activist first and artist second”, writes his thinly veiled alter-ego Ned (Ruffalo) with the primary purpose of bringing the audience to the front lines. He is employed to give the audience an intimate look at the fury and fervor that existed during the AIDS epidemic, and it is that perspective, particularly the outrage, which is supposed to feel, if not entirely new, then at least enlightening because of the lack of dramatic portrayals, especially from within the gay community.
