«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 2855 Newer› Newest»Maybe that's Jake's problem - he doesn't have paper and a pen.
Proof an out actor can be successful playing a straight character
It works on TV, but producers still have to take the risk and try it in the movies.
LOL at you clarifying that you didn't mean papers and pens.
May 5? Manicure, pedicure, joga, aromatherapy, massage ... sorry, can't make it!
What, are you getting primped to look like Carmen Miranda for Cinco de Mayo that day?
joga
I'd like to see Jake doing that - yoga while jogging!
Manicure, pedicure, joga, aromatherapy, massage
What? That's my appointment not yours.
Shut up, I just want to look good for you!
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, an out actor on Modern Family, sounds like a great guy. ONTD
Q: What do you most want to do with your characters?
A: I would like to see them get married. I think the writers are saving that for a well-timed episode to make a very loud statement. Eric and I always push them to show more intimacy between us, because they’re new dads all wrapped up in work, but we don’t want to lose the fact that they are very much in love.
People Magazine allegedly has the exclusive
Maybe we will be surprised this time :)
Q: Oh, perfect Platyrrhini, it seems like we are living in an age where more and more celebrities are getting magazine coverage for their coming out stories. But I've been wondering if there have ever been any celebrities that, after voluntarily coming out, tried to get back in the closet? And if so, what's up with that? – Art, Clovis, CA
A: First, let me say one thing: there’s been some insinuation on this site lately that people come out for “career” purposes – because they have a memoir out or a new CD to sell.
Personally, I think this is just way too cynical (and, frankly, cold-hearted). I’m not saying it’s impossible that a gay celebrity has ever thought, “Well, if I’m going to come out, why not do it in a memoir and make a little money?”
But in practical terms, I don’t think coming out as a gay or bisexual man is ever perceived by celebrities or their handlers as a “good” career move. For one thing, it effectively dooms you in the minds of most “red state” Republicans or Tea Party folks – and, to hear plenty of out gay actors tell it, it does the same thing with plenty of Hollywood’s casting directors.
Even when it comes to older stars like Tab Hunter, Wesley Eure, and Richard Chamberlain, who are getting toward the end of their careers, I have enormous respect for these folks, because I’ve heard first-hand how incredibly painful their coming outs were after lifetimes of just-as-painful denials.
But onto the question!
Jared Leto “came out” in a 2006 AIM interview with AOL Music – but then took it back when no one was sure if he was joking or not (he was). And both David Bowie and Johnny Mathis came out (in 1971 and 1982, respectively), only to subsequently take it back (Bowie in 1983 and Mathis right away) – though later both also took back in their taking-it-backs, revealing that they weren’t prepared for the outcry over their revelations (Mathis said he got death threats).
And when Neil Patrick Harris was outed, his publicist flatly denied that he was gay – something that played a role in Harris coming out shortly thereafter.
Then there are those celebrities who were or are widely rumored to be gay, but who have outright denied it: Dolly Parton, John Travolta, Richard Gere, Tom Cruise, Kevin Spacey, Whitney Houston, Nicole Kidman, Oprah Winfrey, and – it must be said – George Michael and Ricky Martin (both of whom later become much less direct in their denials and then, of course, finally came out as gay).
I can’t think of any celebrities who have come out as gay or bisexual, and then took it back and who still say they’re not gay. And the only famous “ex-gay” I can think of is Little Richard, who disavowed homosexuality when he became a born-again Christian (but didn’t deny he had been gay).
Finally, I should mention the category of actors who were or are out in theatrical and social circles in New York, but who stay in the closet when they land high-profile TV or movie gigs. I guess you could say these folks "in" themselves, although this is a frustration I have with actors like David Hyde Pierce and Sean Hayes who come out after years of being closeted and then say, "I was never 'in'!" When we talk about gay celebrities, we're obviously not talking about whether that person is out to their friends and family – we're talking about whether they're publicly out. I mean, duh.
If these folks had never talked openly to the media about being gay, I guess I'd argue these folks were never really "out" to begin with, not in the sense we're all talking about.
Ask the Flying Monkey!
Shut up, I just want to look good for you!
Feed me steaks and you'll be the most beautiful person in the world.
rumored to be gay, but who have outright denied it
Has Jake ever denied it? I thought he did, somewhere in one of those BBM interviews? Anyway if he had, it's LOL that Flying Monkey listed Dolly Parton but not Jake.
his publicist flatly denied that he was gay
We all fib at work ("he's in a meeting" "I'm working on it right now" "No problem!") but publicists are professional pathological bullshitters.
Has Jake ever denied it?
No one asked Jake if he's gay, but Jake denied being bisexual and claimed he's straight.
Then there are those celebrities who were or are widely rumored to be gay, but who have outright denied it: ... and – it must be said – George Michael and Ricky Martin (both of whom later become much less direct in their denials and then, of course, finally came out as gay).
Never say never :)
Jared Leto “came out” in a 2006 AIM interview with AOL Music – but then took it back when no one was sure if he was joking or not (he was).
Is Jared bisexual or gay?
I wonder if Heath gave Jake keys to his place, he did this with many of his friends (I'm not suggesting anything slashy, so get your minds out of the gutter).
One day an impatient Australian came in and commissioned a small bird in flight on his left forearm. The next day, Mr. Campbell said, “Entertainment Tonight” came with cameras, grilling him on what kind of tattoo he had just given Heath Ledger. The two became friends — 'the sweetest guy, so open,' he said of Mr. Ledger. 'The third time I hung out with him, I had keys to his house.'”
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, an out actor on Modern Family, sounds like a great guy.
Q: Idol and Ellen don’t seem to be your only obsessions. During the Olympics a celebrity crush seemed to emerge, no?
A: Evan Lysacek, yes. I’m not hiding it. I hear he lives in L.A. too, so it’s just a matter of time before we meet. Although I don’t know if he’s gay. At first I was taken by his outfits, and then I learned that Vera Wang designed them, which left me very conflicted. He’s a brilliant skater, and he’s also really handsome, and he seems like a really sweet guy, so I swoon when I see him. He’s probably too young for me. I need to get out of the 20-year-old age bracket. Like, I have crushes on all of the Jonas Brothers. I assume that’s OK?

Slashy? Dirty minds? We have NO idea what you're talking about! ;)
Of course not, of course not. ;)
I wonder if Heath gave Jake keys to his place, he did this with many of his friends
Maybe Jake didn't need it because Maggie's house is a few blocks away, but if Heath was so cool about it then there was no reason why Jake wouldn't have the key.
I don't think Michelle was too pleased about Heath giving his keys to or inviting so many people/friends to their house. I read she didn't mesh with his friends. I believe it. I once read that she threw his friends out of the house one night.
7:13, Supposedly a lot of his "friends" gave Heath drugs and enabled his partying.
^^Well then we can not really blame Michelle, can we? ;)
Sexy through the years: PoP Jake G.
Some PoP updates:
WDW
^^I'm actually more looking forward to the LAOD promotion. I hope it'll premiere at the Venice Film Festival or Toronto Film Festival. Fingers crossed!
Michelle seems pretty closed off and is a stay-at-home kind of girl whereas Heath had tons of friends and was described as a social animal. Not the best match.
Since I know Franco is quite liked here...his movie Your Highness is receiving positive revs so far:
joblo
Good for James!
Not the best match.
Of course not. Sorry to say, but she was not much more than a rebound after Watts anyway. Not even trapping helped to keep him. I didn't feel sorry for her when he dumped her. I do feel sorry for the kid though, always have. I hope Michelle's next guy will be good to little M. I always found Spike Jonze to be disgusting and there are rumors he's a druggie. I'm glad he's out of their lives. Hopefully this time she'll be with a less icky, drug free dude.
Good for James!
Yes, he's choosing his projects very wisely.
I just hope Jake's PoP will be decent too.
Mr. Franco knowing about his good looks:
I worked at a McDonald's drive-through. I could always tell when girls were interested: They'd drive around again and say, "I forgot something."
Source: imdb
More facts about James Franco: James is born on April 19th 1978 in California. His nickname is Ted, Teddy and he's 5 feet 10 (1.78 m) tall. (I thought he was taller).
:)
Maybe Jake didn't need it because Maggie's house is a few blocks away
That’s not how I meant it. The tattoo artist didn’t "need" the keys either because he lives in NYC. I guess that quote got me wondering if they were close enough for Heath to give Jake the keys to his home (NYC or LA), that's all. :)
I just hope Jake's PoP will be decent too.
You and me both.
Heath L. quotes during and after relationship with Naomi W.:
I still have so much to do, it'd be unfair to commit to marriage" he says "My own parents divorced when I was 10, so I can't say that I have the greatest faith in marriage.
I've already lived all over the place and its likely that I'll carry on moving around. And that's no way to conduct anything as serious as marriage.
Naomi may be living with me, but I've lived in my house for eight months since I bought it four years ago. So that gives you an idea of what my life's like. Our relationships tough because of the distances apart when we've been working. We're just trying to catch up with each other all the time.
8:24 AM, interesting. Jake also said in GQ that Heath was a mover.

LOL, I like him. He and Jake need to hook up. ;)
LOL, I like him. He and Jake need to hook up. ;)
I think James is very aware of his good looks. I personally prefer modest guys. :D But I'd like to see him and Jake in a movie together.
Can someone please post that pic of Jake and James Franco? I can't seem to find it.

I'll try to find it. I have some time left to look for it. I hope I'll find it.
I found a small one, it's the only one out there from them together from the Oscars 2006.

Thanks!
No problem!
I found some bigger ones with James and Jake:
Oscar party
Since I know Franco is quite liked here...his movie Your Highness is receiving positive revs so far
Franco and Natalie :)
^^Standing next to James, Jake is definitely prettier.
Franco and Natalie :)
Nah, I'm not a fan of Natalie.
I found some bigger ones with James and Jake:
Oscar party
Very nice, but why aren't they making eyes at each other? :(
Very nice, but why aren't they making eyes at each other? :(
Maybe when they are pictured together the next time. ;)
Even if J & J made eyes at each other, it probably wouldn't be better than this:
J & H
J & H
Maybe if J & J do a film together we'll get something similar like J & H and can enjoy a new set of homoerotic pics? Would be neat!
Hopefully this time she'll be with a less icky, drug free dude."
What about Matilda's godfather? LOL. Don't laugh. Like Michelle, Jake is a stay at home guy and he's not really that much of a party guy. Honestly, I think Jake and Michelle wouldn't be a bad match.
The pic of James with Jake at the post Oscars party isn't a great pic of James. James looks a bit stoned (he probably was) there. James is drop-dead gorgeous btw--looks a lot like Heath at certain angles (and I'm not the only one who has noticed this--lots of people have commented on his resemblance to Heath).
Honestly, I think Jake and Michelle wouldn't be a bad match.
They wouldn't be a bad match if Jake was straight, but he is not. Michelle should go for a straight guy, like Ryan Gosling i.e.
9:13, those pics are so gay :D
No one asked Jake if he's gay, but Jake denied being bisexual and claimed he's straight.
lol, yeah I remember. That was after he said in an interview that he wouldn't mind if people thought he was bi-sexual (because he could play more roles or something ridiculous like that?). I can't remember the exact quote. But it was obvious he was testing the waters with the comment and his handlers must have had eight heart attacks apiece when his words came out in print and made him "clarify" it. There is no way Jake accidentally made that initial "bi-sexual" remark - he's way too media savvy.
Dear Ted:
Please out Alex Skarsgård and Kate Bosworth's relationship as the fauxmance/showmance it really is. Something about those two is just...off.
—One lil sparkler
Dear Not Buyin' It:
Skarsgård isn't Toothy Tile, if that's what you're getting at. Kate Bosworth hasn't worked in, what, years now? So it's not like she has anything to promote except maybe attempting to save her Hollywood reputation. Something may be off, but you're on the wrong track just a tad.
Dear Ted:
Here's something I don't understand about the closeted Blind Vices. If the girls are under the impression their relationship is real, wouldn't that technically make these guys bisexual rather than gay, or am I being too pedantic over semantics? In other words, does a beard always know that's what she is?
—leaf
Dear Perplexed:
A beard usually knows what she is (or a little about her man's same-sex past), but there are a few situations where the women is, indeed, out of the loop. In that case, she isn't a beard. Just duped like Topher Hairy Tuchus' first wife kinda was.
Dear Ted:
Is Seymour Plow-Me-More Robin Williams?
—Sugarsnap
Dear Great Guess:
You're off, darling, but not by too much!
Dear Ted:
Have you ever considered writing your memoirs some day? Now that book I would run to buy!
—Anne
Dear What Should I Call It?
Who Killed Ted Casablanca? (The choices seem to be plentiful.)
Dear Ted:
Can you explain why no one can get a video or picture of Robsten kissing or something like it? I must think that the press is really fueling this pair. Come on...give me something juicy. Are they finally going to let free for the Eclipse world press?
—P
Dear Skeptic:
Tons of celebs who are hooking up in secret getaways without being caught. It may be shocking, but not everyone is as invasive as the L.A. paps are. Fans are usually just cool. And Rob and Kristen are smart about when and where they are seen.
Dear Ted:
Do you read Blind Vice blogs trying to guess your B.V.s? Are they usually right or way off?
–K
Dear Curious:
Sometimes and sometimes.
Dear Ted:
Is Nelly Fang Antonio Banderas?
—Ingrid
Dear Random:
Uh, no. Sorry, babe, but fab guess! Think currently far more relevant.
Also an answer from Ted re Skarsworth but interesting re Coachella (remember Reeke last year): Oh babe, Coachella is a massive paparazzi fest.
Bitch Back!
(and I'm not the only one who has noticed this--lots of people have commented on his resemblance to Heath).
IA, they look similar in certain pics, but Heath was naturally sexier and more talented and much better. ;) Though Franco isn't bad either, I thought he looked hot in "Date Night".
9:13, those pics are so gay :D
And I LOVE them! ;)
Honestly, I think Jake and Michelle wouldn't be a bad match.
A gay man and any woman is always a bad match, lol.
Dear What Should I Call It?
Who Killed Ted Casablanca?
LOL
Standing next to James, Jake is definitely prettier.
Jake said...
DUH!
;)
"Honestly, I think Jake and Michelle wouldn't be a bad match"
That would be something of very poor taste. Michelle is Heath's pseudo-widow after all. It would be like the movie "Brothers" but in RL and with Michelle instead of Natalie.
Not to mention Jake's gayness,btw
Okay yeah Jake's pose spreading his tight thighs and sticking his hips out is quite provocative but damn the guy in the white shirt isn't bad either. And he's just standing there.
Oops I was so enamored lol I forgot the link: Jake and guy in white shirt
I just noticed that the guy in white shirt has the same boots, shirt and pants on as Jake. I wonder if he was his stunt double.
That would be something of very poor taste. Michelle is Heath's pseudo-widow after all. It would be like the movie "Brothers" but in RL and with Michelle instead of Natalie.
Not to mention Jake's gayness,btw
So many obstacles. ;)
Even if Jake were straight, there's no way this will happen. Although, admittedly, they seem to fit.
But all this talk is pointless since Jake isn't straight anyway.
That would be something of very poor taste.
I agree. Sometimes I think some of us forget these people's lives are not movies or fiction. Even if Jake wasn't gay, Michelle and Jake wouldn't ever happen imo for various reasons, one being their history with Heath.
Oops I was so enamored lol I forgot the link: Jake and guy in white shirt
Jake's looking GOOD. Yeah, I think the guy is his body double.
And he thought the lake cliff was high. Jump!
Jump!
First take all your clothes off!
LOL with the shitload of POP stills I practically don't even have to see the movie.
Jake's looking really hot here:
IHJ
The teaser:
IHJ
From Testino.
Now that i think about it, didn't Elizabeth Taylor married her husband's best friend after he died?
Michelle is no Elizabeth..but. it wouldn't be something that never happened before ;))
The teaser:
IHJ
From Testino.
Now THAT's hot!! Still not a fan of the PoP look.
The last and the best:
IHJ
We may not always appreciate some of his actions, but he's one hot piece of man.
You frigging KNOW that the same photog/team taking all these POP set pics and publicity stills is the same one that took the Reeke ones of bitchface and Jake walking across the set in Morocco. Funny how those were released as the first POP set ones. I doubt very much that any of Jake's other set visitors were documented by the POP photog. But of course Reese was, and the pics had to be released ASAP.
Now that i think about it, didn't Elizabeth Taylor married her husband's best friend after he died?
Yep, she married Eddie Fisher, totally on the rebound. From what I've read it was a HUGE scandal at the time b/c he left Debbie Reynolds and their two small children (Carrie Fisher and her brother) in order to marry Taylor. And, then, of course, Taylor famously dumped Fisher for Richard Burton. Gotta love HW, lol.
Where's the pics of me visiting Jake on the POP set??
Eddie Fisher was not gay though, was he? ;)
Michelle: "Hey Jake, wanna hang out?"
Jake: "Nope!" "Heath, did I tell you, you look particularly hot tonight?"
Heath: (giggles)
piccie
J/K ;)
I just realized, Reese is Debbie Reynolds 2.0
LOL! especially at "nope!"
Eddie Fisher was not gay though, was he? ;)
Nah. Eddie liked girls, for sure :)
I just realized, Reese is Debbie Reynolds 2.0
lol. Yep. "America's Sweetheart" - wholesome and pure, a good mother, etc. But the reality was Reynolds was very shrewd when it came to publicity, and knew how to use the media to her advantage. There is a famous pic of her at her front door when the reporters were swarming about after the Fisher/Taylor romance came out - I think her hair is in pigtails or a ponytail and she has two diaper pins pinned to the front of her shirt, as though she was just interrupted from her mothering duties and they caught her by surprise. Fisher was a first-class douchebag no doubt, but Reynolds was a master at playing the press.
Nah. Eddie liked girls, for sure :)
I should add, though, that even though he wasn't gay - the marriage with Debbie Reynolds was arranged by the studios. I remember reading in one of Carrie Fisher's books, I think it was, where she said that her parents' marriage was "a press release." So, even though there have been great strides, in some ways HW hasn't evolved all that much in that they are still arranging fake relationships for public consumption. Of course, back then virtually no one questioned the fauxmances :)
The last and the best:
We may not always appreciate some of his actions, but he's one hot piece of man.
Damn! WTF is wrong with stupid photographers and PoP promotion, are they ever going to take good photos of Jake again?
I always look hot!
Yes, you do!
:)
Of course, back then virtually no one questioned the fauxmances
True, but 50 years later 90% of Hollywood public is still ignorant about fauxmances, publicity and PR.
Even if Jake were straight, there's no way this will happen. Although, admittedly, they seem to fit."
How the heck would you know? Do you know them personally? Heck, they might have already "bonded" since Heath's passing! Honestly, we don't know what goes on in these people's lives and what's in their heads. We don't. To say this would never ever happen when we don't know these people personally is ridiculous.
True, but 50 years later 90% of Hollywood public is still ignorant about fauxmances, publicity and PR.
*sigh* Sad but true. People and US still sell a lot of bullshit... err, magazines.
"True, but 50 years later 90% of Hollywood public is still ignorant about fauxmances, publicity and PR."
I think that in present days, people don't see just what they don't want to see.
Take Reeke for example: Everything on that couple was odd even if we ignore the possibility of Jake being gay.
Same with a lot of celebrities, I think they present the charade and people choose what to believe
12:00 PM, I hope you're not holding your breath on a Jake/Michelle "hook up". You don't need to know them personally to realize it will never happen. Get real.
I think more people are savier about the HW pr machine than they were back in the 50s, especially if they get their gossip off the internet. I think it is one reason why you don't have too many A-list stars anymore. With few exceptions, people go to the movies because of the movie, not who is in it.
I also wonder if it is a factor in people preferring reality shows and their stars.
I'd also be surprised if as many people thought Rock Hudson was gay back in his heyday, as opposed to how many people today think Cruise, Travolta, Jake, etc. are gay.
I also think most casual readers of magazines like People don't think too much about it or don't really care. It's entertainment, something to read at the doctor's office, nail salon, at night after a long day at work and you want something mindless. I think indifferent fans like could probably care less who is straight and who is gay.
Real fans, on the other hand, would have to start to smell the bs after awhile, unless they are deluding themselves. Honestly, how can Reese fans not see what see does over and over again.
Or even how Jake is just recyling stories over and over again, because he can't talk about his real life.
I also think most casual readers of magazines like People don't think too much about it or don't really care.
Well, I don't care either but I follow gossip because I'm curious.
One example - story about Tom Cruise and his auditions for wife #2 is better and more entertaining than any tabloid story about him.

^^
IDK, I like better the one of him eating his wife's placenta.
Just think what the sales would be like if they told the really juicy stories.
I think indifferent fans like could probably care less who is straight and who is gay.
The question remains: would homophobic people pay to see openly gay Hugh Jackman in Wolverine?
What about homophobic people in Latin America or Asia?
1:12 PM - Ewwww & LOL!
I lived in Midtown back [in the early aughts], and I'd never do that again. It's byzantine… you walk outside, and I hear the Rolling Stones song, 'Here Comes Your 19th Nervous Breakdown.' It's hard to be Zen there. [On the other hand,] it's too Zen in L.A. I feel completely blessed to have the best of both worlds.
There are things I love and appreciate in New York — the culture, the metropolitan aspect, taking public transportation. The museums, the theater. And New Yorkers. There's nothing I love more than a really indignant New Yorker walking through our shot who says 'I don't care what you fuckers are doing, I'm going to my building!' They're so righteous about it.

'I don't care what you fuckers are doing, I'm going to my building!'
lol. you do have to love that :)
It's tabloid Wed at ONTD and looks like the Chin's PR has made peace with People magazine. On the cover is a pic of Chinny with the caption -Reese falling hard for the new man. All the tabloids don't even have to write new stories about her, just take the old Reeke ones, remove Jake's name and insert Jim's name. It would also be interesting to see how many put downs towards Jake that her PR can put into one BS story.
the really juicy stories

I love it! Very nicely put, Matt. :)
Take Reeke for example: Everything on that couple was odd even if we ignore the possibility of Jake being gay.
I'm curious what was "odd" about them. Don't get me wrong; I'm not a babbler [lol] and I hated Reeke..however we analyzed every pic and saw the BS. But if I was a casual or even fanatic reader of People or Us Weekly, and didn't know that Jake is gay, I would probably would have bought into their 2 or 3 year romance story. So I'm wondering about your statement; were there rumblings in the average tabloid reader world about Reeke being fake? Was it being questioned, and when; when it was going on after it ended?
when it was going on OR after it ended?
One thing I found curious was how after Reeke ended, there wasn't a public outcry from People/Us readers, even internet fans, that Jake and Reese "belonged together" and that they were sad about them breaking up, and if there was hope for them, etc. And there weren't (to my knowledge) divisions of fans taking Reese or Jake's side..unlike what would happen if Robsten or Brangie broke up. Maybe I'm ignorant about it but it seemed to me that no one in the general public cared that Reeke broke up.
Reese and Reeke were as dull as a box of rocks, no one really cared about that charade.

More from Bomer:
Chekhov please: "I would really love to do Orpheus Descending, the [Tennessee] Williams play. I'd love to do some Chekhov. And depending on the project, I wouldn't mind singing either. The first job I got out of school was -- before I graduated, actually -- was the first workshop of Spring Awakening."
On creating a new CW series?: "I've sold this pilot I've been working on to the CW.* I just turned in the final draft and they're deciding if they're going to shoot it or not in the next few weeks. It's the first thing that I've sold. I won't act in it. It's not a vanity piece, it's never something where I thought let me write something for me."
*(According to ONTD): The CW pilot is for a seriestitled "Nashville" -- Matt Bomer worked on it with his college buddy Zachary Quinto.
Matt Bomer ONTD Post
LOVE this guy. He's as close to perfection as you can get, imo. Not just drop-dead gorgeous, but articulate, funny, and intelligent, as well. And he doesn't have an out of control ego, either. And, oh yeah - not ashamed to be gay, appears in public with his partner and doesn't beard :)
There's nothing I love more than a really indignant New Yorker walking through our shot who says 'I don't care what you fuckers are doing, I'm going to my building!' They're so righteous about it.
LOL, and so true. It's annoying to be told you have to go a couple of blocks out of the way to get where you're going, and I've spouted off a few times to crew members when told I couldn't go where I wanted to go. However, I sure wouldn't complain if I ran across Bomer filming.
Speaking of Bomer and international audiences, a lot of USA Network's profits come from selling their original series overseas.

I love Bomer too.
He's everything I'd hoped Jake would be. :-(
However, I sure wouldn't complain if I ran across Bomer filming.
Huh? You'd be in the hospital with a concussion and complaining about your amnesia, after seeing Boner then fainting and hitting your head on the sidewalk.

Queerty comment:
My educated/logical guess: Johnny Weir.
My wishful/hopeful guess: Matt Bomer.
My long shot/darkhorse guess: Jake Gyllenhaal.
I really wish it was Matt Bomer, though. He is in the best position to come out and strike one of the most devistating blows against heterosexism in this country. As the lead on a "guy-centric" show, Mr. Bomer could show that an openly gay actor can play a (masculine) straight role convincingly and still command a large straight fanbase-with straight guys admiring him (without feeling that their sexuality is threatened) and straight girls swooning over him. Although we in the gay community already know that a gay actor can play a straight role just as well as a straight actor, "Middle-America" still needs to be convinced of this and his coming out could just do that. Alas, though, now that I re-read this post, I don't think he's represented by Mr. Bragman so maybe he should be my darkhorse.
A Celebrity Is Coming Out on May 5. But Who?
Huh? You'd be in the hospital with a concussion and complaining about your amnesia, after seeing Boner then fainting and hitting your head on the sidewalk.
Probably right. And then none of you'd get to hear about it.
It's always good when someone comes out, but boy do I hope it's someone who would have more impact than a Weir.
Enjoy your tv-star status, Matt. You'll never know anything else beyond that...
Jake, pluck those eyebrows dude.
Shut up, Matt!

*sulks*
LOL. Sorry, Jake. But if you want Bomer-level praise you have to make a few changes. Nothing too dramatic right off the bat. No more bearding would be a good place to start :)
I love Bomer too.
He's everything I'd hoped Jake would be. :-(
Yep, me too.
By now you've read all the "La Vida Loca" and "He Bangs ... dudes" headlines commenting on Ricky Martin finally coming out of the closet. While we here at SheWired.com applaud the singer's decision to go on the record with what 99.9 percent of the population already knew, we hope Martin's decision will inspire other celebrities to follow suit and live as their true self - open and out. With Ricky Martin tunes playing on iTunes, we put our heads together to brainstorm 10 leading ladies who we'd like to see come out. File this under the "It's time"/"Not fooling anybody" category and let us know who else you'd like to see come out.
Disclaimer: None of the women on this list has ever come out or acknowledged their homosexuality, this is just our opinion of who we'd like to see make the formal announcement.
1. Kate Moennig
It's hard to tell where The L Word's Shane ends and Moennig begins as the actress seems to have a lot in common with her character.
2. Jodie Foster
Foster may have broken up with her longtime girlfriend in September, but she's never made the "Yep, I'm gay" statement publicly.
3. Joan Jett
She's played gay pride festivals in the past and sang "Time Warp" as Columbia in The Rocky Horror Picture Show - not to mention getting it on with Runaways frontwoman Cherie Currie, but hasn't officially come out yet.
4. Michelle Rodriguez
With Avatar, M-Rod continues to play the same type of role - tough, butch women. Come on out, Girlfight-style. The water's just fine.
5. Queen Latifah
Can you accept her dating a man off-screen? Yeah, we can't either.
6. Kristen Stewart
Maybe K-Stew and Robert Pattinson are the Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman for a new generation of mega-stars in need of beards.
7. Ellen Page
She whipped it real good in last year's roller derby film, and paled around with Alia Shawkat and company like it was the easiest thing in the world. Plus that Journey YouTube hit is all kinds of gay awesomeness.
8. Jillian Michaels
Michaels could shed some heavy baggage by coming out more defiantly than a partial admission to being bisexual in Ladies Home Journal.
9. Jorja Fox
She played gay on ER so well and even appeared in Ellen DeGeneres' coming out episode of her hit sitcom in 1997 and makes forensic scientists look all sorts of hot on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. But nothing publicly.
10. Justin Bieber
OK, maybe the tween singing sensation doesn't really qualify for this list, but there certainly are thousands of lesbians who look JUST. LIKE. HIM. And would anybody really be surprised?
SheWired
"Jake, pluck those eyebrows dude."
But your hands make up for it.
I wish people would stop calling Justin Bieber a girl, talk about homophobic.
^^^He's only sixteen, that can be a rough age for boys. They are always horny but very insecure. He's a sweet kid.

To be fair, Matt dodges the sun albeit not with alot of effort. He dodges the question which quite honeslty is no one's business.
12:00 PM, I hope you're not holding your breath on a Jake/Michelle "hook up". You don't need to know them personally to realize it will never happen. Get real.
ITA. Also, I've a hunch MW will hook up with Gosling during upcoming award season, if they didn't already hook up that is. It'll last a couple of years until he dumps her. She's known for her affairs with her co-stars.
If Jake is straight he'd be better off with someone like Anne Hathaway. And if he's gay, he'd make a good match with James Franco (their personalities seem similar and they look good together).
Topless Jake aka PoP pics:
JJ
^^They're hot! :D
Nah, forget all that, Jake is going to marry a nice businessman or a movie producer.

I think he's about as open as you can be w/o making a public announcement. He appears in public at media events with his partner, they go out in public with their kids, and he doesn't deny he's gay in interviews. He's got quite a bit of sunshine on him :) Especially in comparison to Jake, who is practically a mushroom, lol.
Michelle Rodriguez
I have a big gurl crush on her. This is going to sound complicated but she reminds me of young Angelina Jolie when she was in the role of Gia (the absolute gorgeous supermodel who died from AIDS; IIRC her death pinpointed how AIDS was passed intravenously, since she was a heroin addict and a lesbian who had never had sex with a guy.) Anyway MR, slightly her looks but a lot in her behavior and speech is just like how AJ was when she was Gia.
Kristen Stewart
Maybe K-Stew and Robert Pattinson are the Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman for a new generation of mega-stars in need of beards.
Ha, they dared to mention Stewart :)
WTF?! No one ever called me a mushroom before!

^^Uh, reverse discrimination anyone? They're saying these actresses play their gay characters so successfully that they themselves must be gay. Sure some or all might be gay in RL but isn't what we're fighting for is a recognition for the art of acting and being able to play a part? Seems like they are getting a bit mixed up with roles vs. actors.

Of course they aren't, they aren't stupid and they know a lot about lesbians.

IA. And the fact that he allows the questions to even be asked in the first place about the rumours puts him miles ahead of all the other celebs who won't allow the question to even be asked. I could be wrong, but I don't recall it being asked of people like Foster or Cooper, probably because they don't want to give anyone ideas and/or are uncomfortable even giving the kind of answer Bomer gave that makes it clear he is gay.
And don't forget he has to make USA happy, and USA is one of his boyfriend's clients. Have to give kudos to USA too for obviously giving their blessing to being okay with what he's doing.
Maybe the People out celeb will be Willie Garson?
Why, he's getting married?
February 05, 2010
Actor Willie Garson is officially a father – after having begun the process of adopting his 8-year-old son, Nathen, a year ago.
The adoption, fostered by The Alliance for Children’s Rights and Westside Children’s Center, was finalized in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the Sex and the City actor, who currently stars on the USA Network's White Collar, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"From the first time I met him, I said, 'That's my kid,' " says Garson, 45. His biggest challenge so far as a single parent? Helping Nathen with his homework

We explained this already, Jake. You stay in the dark and we feed you a lot of shit - and then you turn around and feed it to the public :)
Poor Jake :)
Well I was guessing Garson because IIRC he's never come out. IMO whoever it is, won't be a surprise and Garson, well he's one of those people where it won't exactly be a shock, but it will be their first "official" announcement to the public.
No one ever called me a mushroom before!
So I'm guessing unlike his owner, little Jakey doesn't have an oversized head?!
The National Enquirer reports on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes marriage, saying Tom has made “shocking confessions” about male lovers and drug use.
The National Enquirer: Katie Discovers Tom’s Secret Life
So I'm guessing unlike his owner, little Jakey doesn't have an oversized head?!
lol, 8:52.
Maybe the People out celeb will be Tom Cruise? :)
The CW pilot is for a seriestitled "Nashville" -- Matt Bomer worked on it with his college buddy Zachary Quinto.
This sounds great - I really like Zachary Quinto too. :)
Nice about Willie Garson's adoption. :)
Maybe the People out celeb will be Tom Cruise? :)
lol. I can just picture him jumping on the couch on The View: "I'm gay! I'm gay!"
But, seriously, I don't think the Scientologists would let Cruise or Travolta come out. They are one scary, controlling bunch of loons.

Before my time but I'll sniff around, see if I can find pictures.
Jake Gyllenhaal on Russian GQ - May 2010
Thanks. Much better than the US GQ. But the extra big left eye is still obvious. Jake has a soft face so for straight-on portraits he needs to be photographed slightly from the side. I remember Ang Lee commented that he had to be careful from which angle he shot Jake. A pro like Mark Seliger knows what to do. Interview cover
Jake's wonky eye is endearing, though. It's kind of his 'tell'. ;) half-lidded for you
reposting
Russian GQ
Don't think it will be Garson; I saw an article, maybe even the People one, where he says he adopted because he was tired of waiting for the right woman or something along those lines.
Can't believe NE is going after Cruise. Love it. I hate that weasel.
I so wanted to believe Jake was gay but I can't believe it anymore. I just found out from someone who has no reason to lie that Jakey G is all about the vagina and lots of it. He's just another man dog who hides it very well.
*howls with laughter*
I don't have a vagina.
LOL Jake even owns only male dogs.
akey G is all about the vagina and lots of it.
ROFLMAO.
Reeke proved Jake is all about the peen.
Jakey
11:50 #2 you didn't see the unbridled lust in his eyes when he was with Reese? How he couldn't keep his hot hands off of her tiny body? What's wrong with you?!
Thanks Noah! :)
Gee thanks 11:42 for clearing things up for everyone. I suppose we can all go home now that you - or rather someone- has set the record straight.
Gee I can finally sleep tonight. 11:42 has solved everything.
Don't think it will be Garson
I was certain that Willie Garson is openly gay, but I was wrong! From his IMDb message board:
Wow, I just came here after reading an article about Willie's adoption. In it, he always said he wanted to have a family and get married, but didn't want to wait any longer. The article even mentioned the "woman of his dreams". Guess he's straight, after all. I am actually surprised. Even in White Collar, he plays Mozzie much the same way he played Stanford, with gay mannerisms. Maybe it's just the way he acts? And before y'all jump all over me for political correctness, I'm a lesbian myself. Peace. Here's the article:

"Another Gratuitous Jake G Shirtless Post" ONTD
6 pages of comments already! That's a change.
Most people hate his hair but I kind of like it; isn't that how a warrior in the desert would look? Not like Ken Paves just finished styling his flowing tresses. OTOH it cracks me up how white, clean, straight and perfect his teeth are, and he has all of them; a warrior wouldn't look like that! But if I had to choose between realistic hair or realistic teeth, the hair ftw. I doubt many would want to look at a movie screen for 2 hours of rotten missing teeth.
Been invited to see the Montreal Canadiens play hockey in playoffs tonight. Not sure on dress code. Bowtie or cravatte?

Hm, should Jake choose scripts based on number of shirtless scenes?
Ahh, this must be our 11:42, ONTD screen name, gossipcolumn:
i spied on him tonight.
1) he's not hot.
2) he's not gay either. can't say how i found out... but definately not gay.
no, i observed him in a men's natural habitat, a hockey arena.
oh and he totally wasn't rooting for anyone. he looked bored and left before the end.
Another ONTD poster, wekiss:
I was sitting in back of him & took a picture with him, which pissed off his bodyguard :) .. And he was rooting for the Caps. Boo.
We asked the bodyguard if we couldve taken a pic, he said no. Then this girl sitting in front of him took a pic with him, I got angry and then when Jake turned around, we asked him if I could take a pic with him. He smiled and we took it :)
man watching hockey = not gay

Am I being a fucking dirty whore for wanting to rub my vag all over his six pac before riding him like I'm his bitch?
Is it wrong for wanting him to bang me doggie style while slapping my ass at each thrust?
Am I going overboard for wanting him RIGHT THE FUCK NOW to alternate between both holes like I'm a dirty girl?
Probably...
Gotdamn that second picture........omg I love a man with hair on his chest but that little trail snaking down below the bed just takes my breath away.
Him and Mike Rowe: UNFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF CAN USE ME ANYTIME THEY'D LIKE AND I'D LOVE IT 'CAUSE I'M DIRTY LIKE THAT YO!!!
he looked bored and left before the end
They were wearing way too much clothes!
can't say how i found out... but definately not gay.

Was Jake fucking a woman in the bathroom?!
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
11:42 and gossipcolumn write like they're the same person.
You know, all Jake has to do is go out to a place, talk to girls and ask for their phone numbers (but never call). Voila, he's straight.
5:21 AM,
silly babbler, Jake's bearding is the proof he's gay - no need for Ted to tell us that.
what did the babbler say?
That Jake is a womanizer, lol.
"I read about this late last year in an article by the LA Weekly and I recall Howard Bragman, the publicist, say that he had a MUSICIAN who was going to come out this year.
So Weir and Cooper and Gyllenhaal, it can't be. Technically Queen Latifah is a musician, or rather a rapper and singer. But I think its a male singer like Kenny Chesney.
Here is the article: http://www.laweekly.com/2009-10-08/news/the-secret-lives-of-queer-leading-men/2
where it says on page 2: "He’s currently working with a famous musician who’s still closeted from the public, but who will come out next year."
Did anyone else read this, that it would be a musician? Hopefully this is the same person Howard was talking about, meaning the musician still wants to go through with it and come out."
