In December of 2011, when Frank Ocean, R&B singer and member of hip-hop collective Odd Future, was on a plane from New Orleans to L.A. he wrote a document in text-edit that he has now published on his tumblr which reveals him to be bisexual. The summer that Ocean was 19, he fell in love with his closest friend, a boy of the same age. “I reminisced about the sentimental songs I enjoyed as a teenager, the ones I played when I experienced a girlfriend for the first time. I realized they were written in a language I did not yet speak.” His friend, who had a girlfriend, reciprocated his feelings three years later, but it didn’t work out between them. “I don’t know what happens now, and that’s alrite. I don’t have any secrets I need kept anymore. There’s probably some small shit still, but you know what I mean.” [Complex]

Here is the trailer for the newest Tom Cruise action franchise, Jack Reacher. Looks like… oh, like everything, really. Why do people forget he’s short? [L.A. Times]

Meanwhile, like the majestic honey badger who don’t give a shit, Katie Holmes and Suri went out for ice cream while Jack Reacher spent a sad, lonesome 50th birthday over Iceland. [NYDN]

And Katie’s dad Martin reportedly had a big hand in Tomkat’s split. [Newser]

Emma Stone on playing Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man:

“I’ve never really played a damsel in distress before. That was a big draw, maybe like a morbid curiosity of mine. I’ve never played someone who ultimately is reliant on a man, and I found that interesting. I know that’s the opposite of what I’ve usually said, because I love strong, independent female characters; there’s not enough of them. But there’s also something tragic and head-over-heels in love about Gwen; it’s like a Romeo and Juliet situation and something I felt a kinship to for whatever reason. That first love… oh, boy.” [Herald Sun]

English comedian Eric Sykes has passed away at 89. He appeared in many 1950s sitcoms as well as appearing as caretaker Frank Bryce in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Sykes and wife Edith celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this past Valentine’s Day, and he also leaves behind one son and three daughters. RIP. [BBC News]

Allow this stern, poorly-Photoshopped eagle I found on a stock photo site to remind you to pay your diligent respects to America because today is its birthday. July 4th, 2012, a day of fireworks, BBQ and ungainly culottes on suburban dads. Fuck yes.
