Anybody else see those TV ads that "Richard Thalheimer, Founder and CEO of Sharper Image" has been doing for the "Ionic Breeze" Air Cleaner?

Does he look gay, gay, gay, GAY or what?

GG Despite the fact that he's bouncing a (rather ugly--sorry!) kid who looks like him, on his knee Out

(When I googled him, I didn't find out if he's gay---but Sharper Image IS based, conveniently, out of San Francisco... )

For those who had wondered about Savage Garden frontman Darren Hayes

I always figured that Mr Hayes walked like a duck and quacked like a duck....but it's nice to know for certain, I guess.

And a nice bit about the UK legislation too - Yay for us!

JJ Abrams has to be at least a little bit gay. All the younger guys on Alias were all very stubbly and as soon as Weiss became one of the main characters he suddenly stopped shaving. I would imagine the guys on Lost don't get the chance to shave very often either. I think JJ likes his guys a bit rough and ready.

[Gatito Grande]

Anyone else think Oprah and Gayle King "doth protest too much"?

GG "We're not gay" + "there's no word for our kind of relationship" = Not merely "gay", but GAY-GAY-GAY-GAY-GAY!!! Out

[tarawhipped]

Lance Bass of 'N Sync Comes Out...

...and there was a collective gasp of "duh."

[xita]

duh indeed, but I believe every little person coming out helps. So good for him!

From the Los Angeles Times, 7/30/06, Real Estate section:

HOT PROPERTY
Stand-up adds a new home, baby to routine
By Ruth Ryon, Times Staff Writer
July 30, 2006


David Letterman once produced a TV special starring comedian Carol Leifer that was called "Carol Doesn't Leifer Anymore." And now it's true. Leifer has moved out of her house in the Hollywood Hills.

The "Seinfeld" writer turned Nick at Nite executive producer and her partner, Lori Wolf, have relocated to a larger home in the Santa Monica Mountains that they purchased for close to $3.2 million.

The couple bought a 5,000-square-foot, traditional-style home with five bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms and slightly more than half an acre of park-like grounds with mountain, city and treetop views.

They wanted more space because they are adopting a baby boy. "But I love the other house so much, we kept it," Leifer said.

She and Wolf, who works in commercial real estate, rented out their former home, which is a 2,600-square-foot contemporary with three bedrooms, a den, a media room, a maid's room, a pool and city-to-mountain views. Leifer bought the home in 1998 for $900,000.

It has been just over a year since Leifer also bought what she has described as "a little jewel" of a house with 2,100 square feet — and dubbed an artist's or writer's hideaway — 100 yards from her Hollywood Hills home. Leifer sold the hideaway before she and Wolf bought in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Leifer, who turned 50 on Thursday, is a fixture on the stand-up circuit, and she is executive producer of an upcoming Nick at Nite show that stars Darlene Westgor, who as winner of the cable channel's search for America's funniest mom earned a shot at her own sitcom. Filming on the pilot has been completed.

I had no idea about Carol. I loved her, she is just really funny. I guess I now know why I loved her standup so much. Good for her!

OOh, check this out:

I have always liked that database cause it includes sexual orientation but look at that hee.

[Candleshoe]

I'd never come across NNDB before. Doing what I always do when pootling around on new celebrity sites, I searched for Jodie Foster....and then fell off my seat laughing at the phrase "special friend"! Does anyone actually use that euphemism any more?

Wow. Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Moderators, I know mentioning that name usually gets posts disappeared around here, but can you please make an exception in this case? I think it merits it.

Also, there's a new interview with her at AfterEllen.com.

The link to that afterEllen interview was posted on april 10th by Gatito on the previous page of this thread and we did not remove it then either, so no worries, this info is perfectly on topic.

[tarawhipped]

Woohoo! Doogie/Barney's gay!

I'd already heard speculation to that effect, but it's always nice to see actors speaking out/coming out for themselves.

[Hemiola]

And yet, ironically, he is cast as the stereotypically hetero "hound-dog" on "How I Met Your Mother!"

[Gatito Grande]

Well, that "irony" is his job, Hemiola: it ain't called "acting" fer nuthin!

GG Congrats to Aly's co-star! Out

[keme]

Now that I know it seems so obvious. Damn my faulty gaydar.

This is very old news but I only recently found out that Lily Tomlin is a lesbian.

[Concrete]

And even better....hot from the Dutch press (so it must be true) Katie Melua (british singer) just jumped out of the closet ! What a welcome addition.....

[Culzean]

Oh yeah, Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner have been together for decades.

I just found out about Annie Liebovitz and Susan Sontag. I understand they were together for a long time before SS passed away.

[inlerf]

i have a question: read somewhere mia kirschner (jenny of l word) is bi...that true? can't recall where i read it from...or the source confused (ie i interpreted wrongly ;D) her sexuality with jenny's. :/

[xita]

Fun michelle rodriguez gossip!

I was just coming by to post that Xita!

I don't know if you all know how blind items work. The gossip gives clues as to whom the person might be, but it doesn't quite give it away.

The L word

This hot, young (well young-ish) TV and movie princess has always had a string of gullible guys panting for her face, figure, fame and bank account wherever she goes. Although Murg hates to be the one to break the news to this pretty doll, she is way past her adolescent "experimental" phase, so maybe it's finally time for her to face the deeper reasons behind her long, long string of broken romances, her frequent nights out at hip Hollywood female strip clubs, and her tendency to indulge in serious tongue tangoing and groping with her girlfriends whenever they all get a little tooted up. Which is often. Denial is not a happy place girlfriend

[urnofosiris]

and who do you think it might be? Them hints are not helping moi much, for all I know it could refer to any Hollywood actress below say 50.

[inlerf]

ROFLMAO. i actually thought Denial was a girl's name. read it as "Denial is not a happy girlfriend."

and, like DrG, i have no clue. enlighten us!

(prays it's mia)

[xita]

Oh, I have no idea, that's the thing about blind items, one never knows. I think it could be anyone from gross Paris Hilton to Jessica Biel lol.

Speaking of the gays, the enquirer had their who is gay and who is not issue. Typical answers, though they strongly implied Jessica Biel was batting for the other team hee. I found it all amusing.

They are saying, Michelle Rodriguez is out now and really who ever questioned it with pictures like these floating around on the internets

[erith]

David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney and Dan Butler from Frasier are gay?

[JustSkipIt]

Well, this one isn't a gossip/rumor about someone being gay and it's confirmed but I found it very interesting that I heard that Mary Cheney is Pregnant. Apparently the right-wing is none too thrilled that she is undermining their message. Cheney of course gave a statement about how thrilled he is...

[Knock yourself out]

David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney and Dan Butler from Frasier are gay?

really? I knew that two of them were but not the third

[Willowlicious]

So, this has nothing to do with anything, other than to point out that I'm painfully slow sometimes. I remember that in the last couple of years Cherry Jones kind of outed her girlfriend, Sarah Paulson, at the Tony Awards. I didn't really know who Sarah Paulson was at the time, so I said, "Oh, that's nice," and promptly forgot all about her.

However, I've been slogging through the very uneven inaugural season of Studio 60 this fall and had taken a mild liking to the character of Harriet on the show. Why is it that I only last week bothered to notice the name of the actress who plays Harriet? Yep, the aforementioned Sarah Paulson. Somehow, this info makes the series more bearable. Interestingly, I see that Sarah was engaged to a man around 2000-01. Wonder when and how she wandered over to our side of the street?
