"Brothers & Sisters" Boys Get Hitched, Alec Baldwin For President, "Idol" Daddy Drama!

Kevin and Scotty sure didn't waste any time getting hitched.

On the heels of Kevin's proposal, the pair sealed their union during a commitment ceremony on last night's second season finale of Brothers & Sisters.

You gotta love the Walker clan. As dysfunctional as they can be, Kevin's family was there in full force, and while his mom might have gone slightly overboard with the flowers, she just wanted the event to be as romantic and joyful as possible.

Awww. Every gay boy should have a mother like that.

Not everyone was supportive, though. Scotty's family didn't show up despite Kevin's best efforts. As we saw, Kevin's brothers Thomas and Justin accompanied him on a roadtrip to Arizona, where Kevin asked Scotty's parents to attend the ceremony.

Scotty's mother couldn't even stomach the idea of attending "this contrived event," and Kevin walked out of the house defeated. But then Scotty's dad came after him bearing cufflinks. Turns out they were the cufflinks Scotty's dad had worn at his own wedding, and he wanted Scotty to have them to wear at his wedding.

I am not one to cry and can't believe I am admitting to this, but I lost it when Kevin later confessed to Scotty that he had gone to Arizona to see his parents and handed him the box with the cufflinks.

I got it together in time to see Kevin's sister Ally McBeal—I mean, Kitty—officiating at the ceremony.

Before long, Scotty was carrying Kevin over the threshold of their apartment, and only seconds afterward Scotty went into the bedroom to call his dad, and Kevin, struck by a revelation about a potential Walker sibling, bolted from the apartment to deal with the family matter.

So much for the honeymoon. Actually, I'm not complaining. I like that they keep things moving on Brothers & Sisters.

But I do have to wonder what's next for Kevin and Scotty now that they are married. Marriage is always the kiss of death for romance when straight couples tie the knot on TV, so is the same fate in store for these guys?

If I was writing the show, I would bring in a hunky new gay guy to come between them.

What do you want to see happen? 

Alec Baldwin For President

Even an old dude like Morley Safer can't resist Alec Baldwin. Didn't Safer seem thoroughly charmed by Baldwin during his interview with the 30 Rock star on last night's 60 Minutes?

I sure was. I love this big ol' bear of a man.

Baldwin, who rocks whether he is playing a heavy in a movie like The Cooler or a pervy scoutmaster in a skit on Saturday Night Live, was in rare form, gabbing about everything from his rejection of film stardom to his political leanings, acknowledging that he might very well run for office one day.

To be honest, I wish Baldwin was running against Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton right now. I am so tired of their bickering that I would vote for Baldwin in a second. Not to mention this guy has balls. Would Obama or Clinton dare to call Dick Cheney a lying, thieving oil whore?

Doubt it.

Like any politician, Baldwin has a skeleton or two in the closet. Safer brought up the rather nasty phone message the actor famously left for his 12-year-old daughter. Baldwin, who called the kid "a thoughtless little pig," said it was wrong to speak to his daughter like that.

But Baldwin also challenged Safer's holier than thou tone, pointedly asking him if he had ever lost his temper with his kids.

Safer said he had but that he hadn't gone as far as Baldwin.

Baldwin replied that he was "overwhelmed by the sanctimoniousness of people." He's got a point. Everyone made such a big deal about this message, but whose father hasn't lost it once or twice in a lifetime? It happens.

Then again, not every dad leaves a rant on a recorded message that is released for public consumption and played over and over and over and over and over and over again. And again. If anything, Baldwin has learned his lesson about how not to leave a voicemail.

"You can pretty much bet all you own that I would never leave another voicemail message for my daughter that wasn't just like something out of a Rodgers and Hammerstein score," Baldwin said.

"Idol" Daddy Drama

While we're on the topic of daddy drama, did you hear about American Idol contestant David Archuleta's father?

The Associated Press reports that the 17-year-old's dad, Jeff Archuleta, has been banned from attending rehearsals.

It seems the producers got tired of the elder Archuleta's meddling. Word is that the final straw came when David's father insisted his son alter the lyrics to Stand By Me, one of the songs that he performed last week. David did so and wound up costing the show money for making the change, which was not authorized by the owner of the rights to the song.

In my humble opinion, David's father needs to back off.

David can sing—there's no doubt about that. But am I the only one who thinks he performs like an eager-to-please-its-trainer show pony?

He just isn't natural when compared to David Cook and Syesha Mercado. You can literally see him straining for perfection.

Then again, maybe that won't matter. Surely, the junior hottie can count on the votes of teenage girls not to mention little gay boys everywhere.
