I thought everyone knew Jody Foster was gay...didn't she come out a few years ago?

Keanu announced his engagement a few months ago, ya he could still be gay but he's not coming out anytime soon if he is!

And George Clooney?? Nah!

Well the rumours have been making the rounds for years, but no mainstream media has ever stated it. In fact, even on Stern the other day, he strongly implied it, but would not state it.

It does amaze me that someone can remain in the closet in present day Hollywood. Simply because of the ease in which information can be shared. It seems like it would be terribly difficult for a Rock Hudson to exist today.

My ex-boss dated a gentleman from England that renovated apartments and he said that He had been working on Kevin and his partner's apartment. I had told her that he was gay but she didn't believe me until she met this guy.

Actually Spacey is one of the few cases I can remember where a mainstream media outlet basically outed a celebrity. I think it was Esquire(?) that strongly implied in a cover piece that he was gay and he went ballistic afterwards. I never read the piece. Anyone remember the details?

I think that's the issue where they interviewed his mother and she outed him. I'm not kidding.

Never happened, far as I know. If it did, they wouldn't dance around the issue in the media and you'd have heard about her partners.

ain't no media dancin round the issue unless they weren't around the first time. We're on another generation now. And those that know and were there for the first round don't care - it's just called 'respect'.

She's never come out, and she likely never will. Her brother wrote a book in the mid 90s and said that, yes, she was a lesbian and that she had girlfriends for as long as he can remember. Jodie's never said anything one way or the other, but she and her brother do not talk.

gilian anderson is INCREDIBLY blase about her sexuality, despite the fact that she's popularly thought of as a heterosexual actress. i remember her going on a big rant about homophobia on letterman once. maybe it's not necessary to grab the cover of TIME magazine when you come out professionally - what's the big whoop?

- i believe there are lots of celebrities who are well known as gay - damn near out of the closet, in fact - within the industry, but as far as the general public is concerned, their orientation simply isn't talked about. someone like, say, lily tomlin might be a really obvious example of this?[/quote]

.....i think you definitely have a point here. i've worked in the fashion industry for years, and the people that you meet along the way because you're working or holed up somewhere for 5 days with them on a shoot, you learn a lot about their private lives when you're stuck with them 10 hours a day and having to eat with them at night for team dinners, and they often include their significant others or whatever "conquest" they have going on at the moment...it's always something that you just kinda dismiss and don't think about after you find out...but maybe only people within the arts world feel that way...for example if i had ever revealed to my 70 yr old dad that rosie o'donnell was gay (this was in the begining of her show when all the old people loved her for being sooo MIKE DOUGLAS-like), he probably would have shit a brick biggrin!

A really good friend of mine is Bette Midlers hair stylist. He has to go with her when she's on tour. Well, I can't believe how professional he is. I know he has lots of dirt but he wont give it up. I don't think I could be in that profession for long because I'm just so star struck. He has told me some cute stories about other famous clients though.

Gillian Anderson
By Laurie K. Schenden

Tongues are wagging over Gillian Anderson's recent spate of very public appearances in favor of gay rights. Find out what drives her to take a stand and how our straight allies in Hollywood are making a difference for queer kids.

While sucking on a candy cane lollipop at the Cracked Christmas benefit for the Trevor Helpline in Hollywood, we pondered a question more tantalizing than any Scully and Mulder ever debated on an "X-Files" episode:

Is she, or isn't she?

Gillian Anderson chaired the benefit committee that supports the Trevor Helpline, the nation's only 24-hour suicide prevention hotline geared to gay teens. Earlier in the year, we recall, she was among the presenters at the LA Gay and Lesbian Center's Women's Night, honoring her pal Anne Heche. Is there something behind the way Anderson appears committed to gay issues, we wonder -- or is it wishful thinking?

It's no secret Anderson is a heartthrob among the lesbian "X-Files" fan contingent. The mere mention of Anderson's pending presence at the Trevor Project fundraiser was enough to send dykes dialing for the $50 (and up) tickets. . . .

Of course, Anderson would rather be abducted by aliens than get too chummy with the press, especially after some bad experiences early on in her career. So, with her manager, who would make an army drill sergeant proud, hovering protectively, we settled for a cordial chat about her involvement in the Trevor Helpline -- and a view of her low-cut dress without the concealing stole. . . .

Speaking of closeted celebrities, I haven't paid enough attention one way or another to care if he is or isn't, but Perez Hilton (uber bitchy gossip site) posted this excerpt from Sassy magazine.
