After being dumped by the Jim Henson Company (makers of the Muppets), Chick-Fil-A is likely on the hunt for a new puppet that's more in line with the fast food chain's "Biblical values." Luckily, Conan has found the right puppet for the job: Chaz the intolerant chicken.

So this is happening.
Writer-director Walter Hill is partnering up with The Aldrich Company to remake 1962's gothic classic, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?, which famously starred gay icons of the golden age, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.
We're trying to be mature about this. You tell us you're remaking Steel Magnolias; we deal. You tell us you're remaking The Sound Of Music; we deal.
We. Are. Dealing.

The Weinstein Company (TWC) just gave the finger to the MPAA and we’re all about it! (Not that demure, classy gays like ourselves would ever dream of…yeah.)
By now you’ve all heard about the documentary Bully, which has garnered support from the likes of Ellen DeGeneres and both anti-bullying and LGBT advocates.
After months of haggling with the MPAA and an aggressive campaign that included a Change.org petition (helmed by former bullying victim Katy Butler) that was signed by nearly 500,000 people urging the MPAA to lower the documentary’s R-rating and allow the film to be shown in schools, the Weinstein Company has decided to release the film unrated.
More after the jump.

UPDATED Friday 10:20 a.m. EST
The Weinstein Company appealed an MPAA rating of R attached to its upcoming doc Bully on Thursday in Sherman Oaks, California. Sure, Bully addresses heavy subject matter, but no heavier than what LGBT schoolkids often endure—which is why producers fought for a reduced rating to be able to show the anti-bullying documentary in middle and high schools around the country. Find out how the MPAA ruled in Weinstein's appeal, after the jump.
