Ricky Martin stunned the world yesterday by divulging that he is a Gay American (or…Puerto Rican?) If such an act of surreptitious sexuality can be perpetrated against an unsuspecting public, it has us thinking that homosexual celebrities may be lurking everywhere among us. Check out the slide show below for nine more astonishing (possible) revelations from our crack V.F. investiGAYtive team.

Ricky Martin’s Out--Who Comes Next? (Slide Show)

Anonymous said...

Why does someone's coming out have to be a surprise to be worthy of note? I think it's great Ricky came out, and he deserves congrats and support, it's primarily for his peace of mind and life than anything else. Being gay is not entertainment value. Oh wait . . .

Straights are the majority and majority of straights don't understand how important is to come out.

Among the thousands of comments out there on the internet, mostly of the "duh" why is this news variety, I thought this one on the Huffington Post thread sums it up nicely:

To all the cynics who seem to have missed the point, I guess the headline should have read:

“Ricky Martin Rejects SUPERFICIALITY”

Not being open reflects the valuation of fame and fortune over integrity.

Not being open reflects the fear of people’s opinions.

Not being open reflects weakness and self-hatred.

He actually bucked society’s trends.

Geniuses, that’s the newsflash.

Ricky Martin’s Out--Who Comes Next? (Slide Show)

Didn't expect to see these two names on the list - married politician and Disney star with a long-term "girlfriend":

Charlie Crist: The tanning confused us for a while, because gays don’t really tan. But then we discovered this site, Twelve Pictures of Charlie Crist Looking Gay, and that threw him over the big pink line.

Zac Efron: I saw High School Musical III, and I swear, that kid was cruising me.

Thank you 7:16 pm and thank you, Destiny.

I've read a lot of ignorant comments regarding Ricky's coming out that remind me that no matter how far we've come, there is a long, long way to go. So, thank you, Ricky, for knocking down one more brick.

If that's the case, one could say poor Matilda. Her whole existence is based on a lie. After all we have enough evidence she was unwanted right? Heath looking miserable with her in pictures most times, not including her in the will etc...

You are wrong. Heath adored Matilda. He tried to make it work with Michelle for Matilda's sake. And despite their problems, Heath made sure both Michelle and Matilda would be financially secure.

Ledger formed the Thank You for the Trust trust shortly after Matilda's birth, making his daughter and her mother Michelle Williams co-trustees of high-priced properties he owned.

Though Ledger's will amounted to just $145,000 (GBP72,500), the smart star made sure his daughter was well provided for thanks to his properties and future income. The insider tells the publication, "He knew exactly what he was doing when he made Matilda co-trustee. There's no way he would have left his daughter without a dime. She was the world to him."

The source says the trust Ledger created includes a $3.1 million (GBP1.55 million) home in Los Angeles, a $2 million (GBP1 million) property nearby and a duplex in Brooklyn, New York - currently valued at $4.5 million (GBP2.25 million).

Jake Gyllneehaal, 25, and Heath Ledger, 26, are apparently BFFs now! After winning the Best Supporting Actor award at the BAFTAs (The British Academy of Film and Television Arts) this past weekend, Jake admitted, "Heath and I are best friends now, making the film was very intense for us. I’m actually Godfather to Heath’s (four-month-old) daughter Matilda, which is an amazing honor."

For those who care. ;) HL kissing a [wo]man at Patriot premiere

See from 0:09 onward - it's the same as the gif, from a slightly different angle. Same guy in the background. Same movements from Heath. The woman has her hair pushed behind her ears so in the tighter clip it looks like a guy. I so wanted it to be a guy. :( If it's any consolation, someone I know (a producer) said he saw Heath kiss Rodrigo Prieto "with a big smack" at the 64th Venice Biennale. If you have forgotten, Prieto is the cinematographer who filmed Jake with such beautiful tenderness in Brokeback Mountain.

Ted said...

Dear Ted:
I was pleasantly surprised about Ricky Martin's decision to get himself out in the open, since I thought he was one of those candidates who would stay in the closet forever. OK, I think no one was really surprised he is gay, but still. Granted, he did out himself in his own time, but it still was a big decision to make. To my mind he did the right thing for himself and those two boys of his, and I wish them all the best. So since there is a child involved as well, do you think that Toothy and Grey Goose took note and got to thinking a little? They can't keep up their charade forever, can they? Or do you think they are so deep in the closet already that there is no turning back?
—Nic

Dear Following Suit:
Definite bravo to Ricky, but there is still a big difference between him and Toothy coming out. While I think there's definitely a chance T2 could come out sometime in the near future, I wouldn't expect Ricky's success to inspire Toothy to come sprinting out of his closet.


Dear Ted:
With all the closeted actors in Hollywood, how is it that no one ever accidentally outs themselves or someone else? That's a big secret to keep, and I would imagine it would be pretty easy for someone to slip up in an interview that they got comfortable in.
—Makayla

Dear Let It Slip:
You're right—it is a big secret to keep, which is why all these D.L. hunks take super, extra precautions to make sure none of their secrets or skanky ways leak to the public. Avoiding a "slipup" is always on their minds, trust. Thank heavens they're sloppy from time to time!


Dear Ted:
Last week you said Toothy (and Goose) are afraid they wouldn't get work if studios knew they were gay. I could swear I remember you saying that everyone in H'wood already knows all about T2 and G2. Are studio heads really in the dark? And does T2 ever take G2 to Industry events, particularly the kind not open to the prying eyes of the public? Or are they too deep in the closet for that?
—Jose

Dear Logistics:
It's not the Industry people, per se, that would stop T2 and G2 from working: it's the general public. If the viewers find out Toothy and hubby's secret, certain groups may be less inclined to see their movies, which the studio folks do not want.

All true; however, it's not just how he pings (and he does! it's like he's really relaxed and just being himself) in these videos or the fact that Jake is soft, as you put it, that makes me believe he is gay. The list of reasons is long and it's not hard to connect all the dots.

Anonymous said...

His arms are folded and he is self-protecting. That is not a comfortable picture. I've seen happy pictures of them and that ain't happy.

I was thinking about it and concluded if it's true that Heath didn't want to pose, maybe he was being moody (he had a rep. for that)? And Michelle stepped in? She seemed very fond of Jake. I noticed that at the Toronto press conference, she put her hand on Jake's back when he embarrassed himself to reassure him.
That being said, I still doubt Heath refused to pose.
And as for Lainey claiming Jake was jealous of theattention Heath got, I think she exaggerated.
I think people either try to hook them up or make them enemies. ;)

This pic is so cute. Look at the way Michelle is looking at Jake (zoom in), I think she totally knew about Jake's admiration/crush for/on Heath and was cool with it.

LOL. No, I don't think so. Michelle was crazy in love with Heath and Jake admired Heath so much (or maybe even had a crush on him). Michelle was fond of Jake, not more. Also Heath wasn't the jealous type, nor had he a reason to be jealous. ;)

Back to Heath - he had no reason to push Jake away. Maybe he was a bit awkward because of Jake's obvious admiration/crush in public, but I'm sure he was very good to Jake in private. Otherwise Jake wouldn't like him so much.

"the emotional, professional and political parallels between Ricky and Jake are so obvious."

This is so true. It's surprising how many similarities are between them.

I think Ricky will open a lot of doors, not only for gay latinos and because he is a father, but because he is the first successful entertainer marketed as a sex-symbol to be out when he is still in his prime. He is talented, hot and very respected for his charity work. I know that in the USA it's perceived that his career is in decline, but he has a lot of success internationally. He is still huge in Latin-America, Europe and Asia. His decision to come out is wonderful. I think he will influence change.

Hmm, I think that you're right, but the jury is still out.

Ellen - not a sex symbol
Cynthia (last name?)(SATC) - not a sex symbol
Elton - came out after prime, not a sex symbol
NPH - not a sex symbol
George Michael - came out after he was a sex symbol, even though he's still incredibly talented
Ian McKellen and Rupert Everett - neither were ever really sex symbols
Adam Lambert - total sex symbol, but his career is just starting

What about John Barrowman? He is a total sex symbol, and he came out during his prime.

Maggie is long

Maggie Gyllenhaal was at The Darker Side of Green Climate Change Debate in New York yesterday. Am all over this blouse. Love it. And she looks LONG. Because she is long. I had to crank my head up at her at the Spirit Awards a few weeks ago in LA on the carpet. Most celebrities are smaller than you think they are. Almost always. Maggie is tall. She looks extra tall here. That’s a lot of leg.

Maggie can currently be seen in theatres in the UK in Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. She apparently delivers a flawless accent. Said co-star Rhys Ifans:

"It was amazing. I didn't realise she was a Yank until about three weeks in. She kept it going the whole time, even in the make-up trailer, this pristine period English accent. I almost wanted to spill hot coffee on her to see what it would take to get this girl to do (an) American (voice). She was that good."

Too bad her brother Jakey isn’t so proficient. Have you seen the trailer for Prince of Persia? It’s barely better than Madonna’s

The Impact of Celebrity Blind Items on Studios

How Gossip Sites Changed the Show-Business Industry

Many gossip websites now run Blind Items sections. Do those accounts of the secret sex or drug habits of movie and TV stars have a long-term impact on movies and studios?

Blind items are the newest addition to gossip sites. From E!online with its popular Awful Truth column to independent websites such as Gossip Boy, blind items are everywhere.

What Are Blind Items Articles

A blind item is an article about a particularly shocking habit (usually sex or drug-related) of a movie or TV celebrity. To protect the identity of the star and to protect the author of the article from possible lawsuits, the name of the celebrity is omitted from the text and replaced with a nickname. This nickname, along with other well-hidden clues throughout the article, can help readers identity the true identity of the star.

Other websites benefit from blind items by running forums or groups where readers can find out the most popular guesses for the true identity of each celebrity mentioned in the blind section of the gossip sites.

Toothy Tile and the Blind Items Stars

Blind items have created an interesting phenomenon where some of the nicknames used in those columns are now almost as famous as the stars behind them.

One such moniker is Toothy Tile. This moniker, used by Ted Casablanca in his Awful Truth column on E!online, has been the star of many articles. In those, details about the star's hidden homosexual life and his relationship with another male actor nicknamed Grey Goose are told in details. Because of the number of clues given throughout the years by Mr Casablanca, most of his readers have now guessed the true identity of Toothy Tile, creating an interesting phenomenon where a male star still poses with gorgeous women in magazines while details of his gay relationship are now posted on many popular Internet websites.

The Impact of Blind Items on the Movie Industry

Since the advent of the gossip columns and articles, journalists have always been forced to keep the most lurid details of the stars' private lives out of their stories due to legal reasons. By posting the same details in blind items, writers have now exposed the Hollywood's dirty laundry to the world.

Movie studios are, of course, very concerned about those new developments. Since the silent era, studios have always tried to hide the most scandalous activities of their stars by fear of a negative impact on ticket sales. Nowadays, such details are available to any person in the world, provided that they have an Internet connection.

While audiences may be more open-minded on topics such as homosexuality than what Hollywood thinks, rumors of drug use and extra-marital affairs can still break a career or seriously impact ticket sales.

Movie and TV studios, as well as publicists, have been unsuccessfully trying to stop blind items altogether by threatening the journalists or their alleged sources.

A new strategy, currently considered by some studio executives, would be to simply allow their stars to be much more open about their true private lives. For example, gay stars could be encouraged to come out, therefore ending the rumor mill. Since at least half of the blind items are about closeted celebrities, this could at least take care of a major part of the issue.

PoP said...

Posted on WDW

Lending their musical talents to Disney films has scored hits and awards for artists like Randy Newman, Elton John, Christina Aguilara and Sting. Now Alanis Morissette has teamed with the entertainment giant, writing 'I Remain' for the upcoming film 'Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.'

The movie, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton, was a natural vehicle for Morissette, who penned the song about Arterton's princess character. "It's an honor to write from the voice of an empowered princess about a love that empowers them both to new heights, healing and consciousness," Morissette said in a statement. "The song wrote itself and this story was the ultimate muse."

'I Remain' -- co-written with Mike Elizondo, who worked with Morissette on 'Wunderkind,' her track from 'The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian' -- brings a Middle Eastern flavor and a soft backbeat to a dark and enigmatic flavor. Though written directly for the film, the song is vintage Morissette. Check out the premiere of 'I Remain' below.

Since at least half of the blind items are about closeted celebrities, this could at least take care of a major part of the issue.

Should we ask Jerry for a comment? ;)

Nailed said...

Dec 31 2009
IMDb, posted by Davenport99 (Going to Cannes thread)


Nailed
Opens: 2010
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Biel, James Marsden, Catherine Keener, Tracy Morgan
Director: David O. Russell

Summary: A socially awkward small-town receptionist has a nail accidentally shot into her head by a clumsy workman, eliciting wild sexual urges. Going on a crusade to Washington to fight for the rights of the bizarrely injured, she meets an immoral congressman who takes advantage of her sex drive and her own career plans.

Analysis: No production in this entire guide has gone through more reported trouble than this David O. Russell-directed political comedy which filmed in early-mid 2008. From alleged prima donna behaviour from cast members you wouldn't expect, to cast and crew walkouts, and most visibly financing problems leading to numerous production shutdowns.

The $25 million indie didn't so much wrap as limp to the finish line in June 2008 with a few crucial scenes, including the key one where Biel's character gets the nail in her head, apparently going unfilmed. Biel herself in an interview in May confirmed that the film is sitting around unfinished but hopes it will come out some day.

Unfortunately no-one else related to the production has gone on record about its fate so finding out what state the film is in at this juncture and whether a working cut can be released is almost impossible. Russell himself has moved on and despite recent talk that the film could be on offer for sale in Cannes at May, "Nailed" has essentially become like the 2005 Matt Damon-drama "Margaret" - one of those lost projects that may never see the light of day.

New video interview, Jake Gyllenhaal on Prince of Persia, ONTD comments:

i approve of his accent. it's not 100 % but he's done a wayyyyy better job than actors that are of a higher caliber than he is. also, i can't believe i never noticed he was this cute.

His accent sounds like Jude Law. Definitely not a bad thing.

BTW jakey g is coming across majorly gay in this interview. I would definitely tap that.

I've heard the trailer and Jake's accent. I've also heard Jake's voice many times. I'm not convinced it is Jake doing the trailer, or most of it anyway. Rumor was they had to bring someone in to redub the film because his voice did not work. It is not the voice in that POP interview. Let's see how it sounds when the film is actually released.

With each interview that is released, the gaydar pings get louder. Good for Jake though for being himself again.

Ricky gossip said...

At long last, here are photos of Ricky Martin’s long-time boyfriend. A source close to the boyfriend’s inner circle has confirmed that the man circled in these photographs is, in fact, Ricky Martin’s boyfriend. Our source attended school with Ricky’s boyfriend at Academia Perpetuo Socorro in San Juan, a private institution for privileged youth in Puerto Rico. The man is in his mid-thirties, putting his upbringing inline with that of Ricky Martin’s. Our source also says that Ricky’s boyfriend is not in show business.

Since Ricky Martin became a father to his twin sons, our source tells us, his partner has been helping Ricky parent them. Below is a picture that was taken yesterday at Ricky’s Miami residence of Ricky’s boyfriend handing his sons to another man.

As we reported yesterday, rumor has it that Ricky was pressured to come out by paparazzi who had incriminating photos of him and his partner. His partner was also tired of living in the shadows and was applying pressure to Ricky. In his latest Twitter post since coming out, Ricky Martin says he feels “stronger than ever” while fellow celebrities have shown strong support.

LOL thanks for reminding me about HFRO. Harrison Ford bitch talked about a fake Russian accent he was forced to speak in some submarine film. I think Jake will do just fine. Based on the trailer his accent sounds pretty decent.

Jake pings big time in the interview which is nice. He is just too sensual to be straight. Since POP is pure entertainment he isn't forced to go deep into serious topics and that seems to relax him.

"the emotional, professional and political parallels between Ricky and Jake are so obvious."

To make it even more similar to Jake, I went back and did some research about Ricky’s past bearding photo ops. Ricky bearded for years with the TV presenter Rebecca de Alba. Here are their photo ops.

The candid ones are similar to Reeke pics, and the red carpet ones are similar to the Austin and Sophia bearding pics.

Keep these pics in mind next time you see Jake and/or Austin in a bearding photo op (hopefully never again!) that make you think they'll never come out. There is always hope! ;)

The one pic of Austin wearing a ring on a chain was over 2 years ago at that music festival in Austin wear he was shirtless and to me it looked too big for a pinky ring. He has been wear a gold ring, not a band on his right finger lately.

The pinky ring that Jake is wearing is an old ring given to him by his mother according to an interview, it say Carpe Diem on it. He also ised to wear a gold plain pinky ring and a pinky ring with a black diamond, all worn on his left pinky. He also used to wear a silver band. The interview videos were taped in late January or early February whrn he started wearing them again. Recent pics, he is not.

Craigslist: Girl that used JAKE GYLLENHAAL to steal my lazy boy! said...

chicago craigslist > city of chicago > personals > missed connections

Girl at the U of I that used JAKE GYLLENHAAL to steal my lazy boy! - 25 (illinois/chicago/champaign)

Date: 2010-03-31

This happened about 4 years ago and Ive always been curious who this person was because frankly I tell the story and it was hilarious and I feel like an idiot.

About 4 years ago I was up late studying in my house on campus at The University of Illinois. There were 7 of us who lived there in probably the shittiest house on campus. In order to furnish our house we borrowed lots of random furniture from people and between the 7 of us who knows who got whatever from wherever.

At about 3 am some girl who (dont remember her name) is about 120 lbs and obviously drunk/high knocks on my door and says she came here to get Jake's lazy boy back. I said Jake who? and she replied Jake Gyllenhaal. The name ringed a bell and I asked her if he was a football player (we borrowed some furniture from some football players too) and she replied "yes". I said Oh, Ok, which is his? Then we went to the living room and she pointed to the nicest lazy boy we had (which is pretty fucking big). I thought it was unusual this Jake Gyllenhaal guy wanted his furniture back at 3 am and sent a little girl to come get it but, whatever. Then she wants to carry it home, I help her load this lazy boy onto her shoulders and then she walks out of the house carrying the lazy boy on her freaking shoulders down the street until I cant see her anymore.

The next day my roommates all asked where the hell the lazy boy went, I replied Jake Gyllenhaal wanted it back and some girl came to get it at 3am last night. They all just looked at me like I was half retarded and couldn't help but laugh. I was confused until they told me who he was. Little did I know Jake Gyllenhaal is a famous actor. The lazy boy was actually my roommates own chair.

Essentially, Some little half drunk/high girl came into our house probably after the bars, (I didnt know who Jake Gyllenhaal was but it "rang a bell") She convinced me that he needed his lazy boy back, and this little girl walked out of our house with my roommate's lazy boy. Then proceeded down the street with a big ass lazy boy on her back. In hind sight it was pretty funny and stupid on my part. I got duped bad.

To this day I cant help but think how some girl tells her friends this story of how she walked into a random house after the bars and told some guy Jake Gyllenhaal needs his chair back and walked out carrying a big ass lazy boy down the street.

If anyone knows who this person is I would like to just meet and congratulate her. Its a pretty funny story. Thats all.
Thanks

Reposting DL gossip:

I posted on DL several times quite a few years ago that it was common knowledge in the circles around Ricky that he was gay. My cousin is a close friend of one of Ricky's closest friends, and it was well known that the girlfriend was for public use only, although she was a close friend. He kept a condo for his then boyfriend in San Juan. This was in the late 90s/early 2000s. I haven't seen or spoken to my cousin in a few years, so I don't have any recent news regarding Ricky, and what I wrote above only came up in passing not as part of a conversation regarding Ricky.

SHOCK: Ricky Martin Claims He Never Came Out said...

After what we thought was an international pop star confirming what many already knew, Ricky Martin has released a statement saying he is not, in fact, gay. And nor did he ever come out.

"While I am very supportive of the homosexual community, and truly appreciate the outpouring of support from fans all over the world, I am not a homosexual myself," reads the brief statement in part, which was also sent to Queerty in Spanish. It adds: "I cannot comment further while there is a police investigation taking place, but I did not authorize any statement to be released on my website on my behalf. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused my fans. Amo a todos ustedes."

Um, ok. Then how to explain his tweet that came out a day after the original web posting? The one that read "Whats going on gang?I'm doing great!Stronger than ever!I'm here relaxing @ home enjoying ur messages!I feel the love!Thanx for all!peace"? Still unclear, though it suggests his online accounts have been hacked, or the people he has managing them allowed them to become compromised in some elaborate prank.

Also unanswered: The rumors that the man he's been seen with is his boyfriend.

Naturally, for every straight girl who, 48 hours ago, didn't want to believe Ricky is gay, there will an outpouring of gay men who don't want to believe he is straight.

UPDATE: We're being told Ricky's attorney will be having a press conference later in the day Thursday to address what happened.

True Blood's Anna Paquin: I'm Bisexual and I Give a Damn said...

I keep thinking everything's an April Fool joke, and I certainly hope this isn't. In a new PSA for the True Colors Fund, Anna Paquin, who is engaged to True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, says she is bisexual.

RadarOnline, which has the video, reports: "Our source tells us that people close to Paquin, who were at the shoot, did not know she was going to make the statement, and it was a surprise to them. ing they 'Give A Damn' about equality as they too publicly declare their sexuality, be it straight, gay or bisexual. The True Colors Fund is the non-profit arm of the True Colors Tour. Co-founded by Cyndi Lauper, the organization, according to it’s website, is dedicated 'to inspire and engage everyone, particularly the straight community, to become active participants in the advancement of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) equality and ensure a strong and vibrant LGBT community.'

The PSA featuring Paquin is the first of several spots to be unveiled on-line in the months ahead. Other celebrities taking part in the campaign include Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Cynthia Nixon, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, Judith Light, Kim Kardashian, Clay Aiken, and Wanda Sykes "all proclaiming they "Give A Damn" about equality as they too publicly declare their sexuality, be it straight, gay or bisexual.

10 People Who Need to Finally Come Out of the Closet said...

Mar 29, 2010

Today Ricky Martin dropped a crazy truth bomb on the world and acknowledged he is a "homosexual man." Yeah, duh! But he's not the only public figure still hiding—unsuccessfully—in the glass closet.

All of these people really need to come out because it is so painfully obvious to the world that they are gay that when and if they finally announce it, we're probably going to be laughing at them. (See Sean Hayes for another recent example of this.) Coming out should be an occasion for joy, not for a bunch of people snickering about how they saw it coming for years. It's already too late for many of these people, but how about standing up and being counted now and not making it worse by waiting?

1:36: he wore the plain gold pinky ring when he was papped with Peter in feb. The next 2 times he was papped wearing the Carpe Diem ring: The benefit in Ny with Natalie and at some after party with Jaime Foxx. He also wore it again the night he went to that jazz club with Maggie & Co. and that goofy looking guy in the car.

The pinky ring Jake is wearing now is the one he wore when he was papped with Peter. Now as in the video interviews which were taped back in late Jan/early Feb.

The few pap pics since then I didn't notice any ring and he didn't wear at the Oscars.

So there was no in-between: he wore the plain pinky ring, then switched to the Carpe Diem ring and then no ring.

Keep in mind that these interviews were taped around the same time he wore the plain gold pinky ring, I bet he isn't wearing any ring now.

How do I know that these videos were taped late Jan/early Feb? There was a tweet and a tweet pic that was posted on WDW and iot was in the same setting of the video.

Yoga can set you free! said...

It seems like every time I turn on the TV or log onto my computer, the headlines are screaming about celebrity or politician BETRAYALS and CONFESSIONS -- something hidden that's come to light to shock and awe us. And what a mess those secrets cause! They can rip lives apart.

I have a confession to make, too: I read them all, sometimes because I want to, but most times by osmosis. I'm up to date on Jesse James, Tiger, Ricky Martin, John Edwards and all the rest. I really can't help it -- we've got to wade through these banners to get to the actual news. And, to be completely honest, I do take the occasional gander at PerezHilton.com for a little snarky to balance my Zen.

As a yoga teacher, I see lessons everywhere, and nowhere more obviously these past couple of weeks than the celebrity scandals. After all, do yoga long enough and it becomes a truth serum, a way of seeing your consequences that makes it clear how pointless and destructive it is to live as a liar.

Ricky Martin seemingly figured it out this week, when he came out of the closet, albeit to a mostly unruffled public saying, "Tell us something we don't know!" His decision, he said, was made in large part because his desire to live honestly overrode the fear of alienating his fans or losing the status he worked so hard to build in the music world. He did it for himself, and for his sons to have a role model who claimed his truth, not a father living as someone he's not.

Then there's the nearly polar opposite outing by the press of the marriage and family-pulverizing lies of Tiger and Jesse. "Why?", everyone is asking. It all seems so pointless.

In yoga speak, we'd call this "karma". But karma may not be what you think. It's not just a bat-out-of-hell coming back at you after doing something terrible, it can also be the good stuff that happens when you've done something with integrity, even though it's hard.

Karma is a boomerang, which means that whatever you do will reappear in your life as the result of it, for better or for worse. And there is no hiding from The Boomerang, not even inside yourself, since the experts say (http://www.bottomlinesecrets.com/article.html?article_id=48975) that people who hide affairs may develop more stress-related illnesses than those who don't.

Now, I'm not asking you to agree or disagree with any of these people, criticize them or judge their characters. The true meaning of Karma is simply that for every action, there is a consequence, depending on the action, and the people's perceptions who are affected by it.
