After a long career that included a starring role on the TV show ‘M*A*S*H*‘ and bringing to life popular Disney characters, David Ogen Stiers reveals that he’s gay.
When asked by the Gossip Boy blog if he was gay, the actor replied, “Yes, I am. Very proud to be so,” according to WENN.
The 66-year-old also explains why he didn’t come out before.
“From the late 1980s until about seven or eight years ago, you would find certain individuals coming up to you, me, and advocating the position that since we were doing family fare that it would be best were the actors to maintain a certain palatability to parents. These parties likely had heard rumors or harbored suspicions about me and wanted to make sure no embarrassing incidents were forthcoming,” he says.
But now, he’s decided to tell his secrets — however, he has an ulterior motive.
“I could claim noble reasons as coming out in order to move gay rights forward, but I must admit it is for far more selfish reasons. Now is the time I wish to find someone and I do not desire to force any potential partner to live a life of extreme discretion for me.”
The actor spent 6 season on ‘M*A*S*H’ and starred in ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Pocahontas,’ and ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame.’
It’s the sound of a million middle-aged hearts breaking. ‘Top Gun‘ star Kelly McGillis - otherwise known as the boyhood crush of anyone with a beating heart in 1986 - has confirmed longstanding rumors that she is a lesbian.
“I’m done with the man thing. I did that, I need to move on in life. That’s another part of being true to yourself… that’s been a challenge for me personally.
I think [accepting being homosexual] that was an ongoing process from the time I was about 12. I had a lot of things happened that convinced me that God was punishing me for being gay. That was a hard process.”
McGillis has has two daughters from a marriage to Fred Tillman. The couple divorced in 2002. The actress has repeatedly denied speculation about her sexuality in the past.
Shoot… If I had kissed Tom Cruise, then saw how he was today — I’d consider it.
I have no idea if any of you know who Amber Rose is, but she is Kanye West’s latest beard girlfirend.
Well she is kind of hot, I’m not usually into women with no hair but I think this girl is hot and she is not shy to discuss her sex life which can be a plus (only sometimes though).
Amber was interviewed by Angela Yee and and the whole interview basically centered around her eating pussy, not being into threesomes and she thinks people watching her having sex is “nasty perverted”.
Another thing we know is she is a virgin for anal sex, she will have sex on her period. She also added that she “played with myself before coming here and I feel damn good.” Okay maybe she is too out there, but Amber Rose is hot.
Did John Travolta hire his unqualified gay lover to care for an ill child, who then died on the faux nanny’s watch? If so, you won’t read about it in the trashiest of Internet tabloids.
A TMZ.com story on the death of John Travolta’s 16-year-old son, Jett, mentioned that he was found by family nanny Jeff Kathrein — but it didn’t run a famous picture of Travolta kissing Kathrein.
In 2006, Kathrein and Travolta were caught by paparazzi locking lips. The Travolta camp’s official explanation: Why, John kisses everyone like that! But in the wake of a teenager’s death, no one stopped to ask who the man who found him dead is, and what his relationship was to the kid’s father.
Kathrein is one of the Travolta family’s two nannies. On his website, he describes himself as a photographer; he mostly lenses weddings. His qualifications for childcare are unclear, other than being a Scientologist like Jett’s parents, John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Kathrein’s wife, Ana, is also a Scientologist. (Some Scientology critics believe the church forces gays and lesbians to stay in the closet and pursue heterosexual relationships, frequently citing Travolta and Preston’s marriage.)
Why the deference from TMZ, which is usually the standards-bearer of standards-lowering? Much remains mysterious about Jett Travolta’s tragic death — and impolite questions ought to be asked. Isn’t that what celebrity tabloids are good for?
Take the family’s unchallenged assertion that he suffered from Kawasaki disease, an immunological syndrome which causes painful inflammation, after exposure to carpet-cleaning chemicals, and that he died after hitting his head after suffering a related seizure. At least one doctor disputes the notion, saying that there’s no link between chemical exposure and Kawasaki disease and that it does not cause seizures.
Jett may have suffered instead from autism which went untreated, because of Travolta’s adherence to the cultlike religion of Scientology and the bizarre beliefs about mental illness that go with it. And if Travolta hired Kathrein for reasons other than the best interests of his child? That only makes it worse.
One of the dudes from the Blue Man Group is probably a little red faced this morning after Chicago cops claim they nailed him for allegedly performing oral sex on another man on a park bench.
Which gives a whole other meaning to Blue Man.
I wonder which one of these guys above did the dirty deed?
Darren Stephens was arrested around 5:45 pm last night after cops say they found him gettin’ all Lewinsky-like on a Chicago Park District Property.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, the “other man” is an assistant principal at a nearby high school.
On one of their many shopping trips, Samantha Ronson was caught totally checking outLindsay Lohan’s rear end. I wonder if Samantha has ever tried to “Google” her gal pal — she could see a lot more than that.
Some people say that London is a great city for romance, well not the case for Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson because they have apparently got into a fight.
It all started when Sam spotted Lindsay dancing with her ex boyfriend (and man whore) Calum Best, making Sam one angry woman.
Lindsay apparently left the club in tears and got into a taxi, she was then followed by Sam ten minutes later. Onlookers say that when they arrived at their hotel Sam stormed out of the car in a huff, leaving Lindsay sitting on her own.
An eye-witness said that “it was quite clear something was up. Lindsay had tears in her eyes as she left.”
This isn’t the first time that Sam Ronson has flown off the handle because Lindsay Lohan was flirting with a member of the opposite sex.
The Simpsons has come under fire from a gay rights group after one of the characters said “that’s so gay” during the show’s Halloween episode.
Nelson Muntz uttered the words on Sunday night to Milhouse Van Houten, now the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) are demanding an apology from Fox Network.
In a statement the group said, Nelson’s use of ‘that’s so gay’ in a negative way is not surprising considering that 90% of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth say they hear the term used thisway frequently or often at school.”
GLSEN directed Nelson - known for his trademark phrase “Ha Ha!” - to go to its Web site, ThinkB4YouSpeak.com, and “send an apologetic e-card to Milhouse.”
AnnaLynne McCord of the new Beverly Hills 90210 met a female friend for lunch at the Newsroom Cafe on Robertson Blvd. today.
It appeared to be just a girls day out until AnnaLynne passionately kissed her female companion on the mouth. Shortly after, she drew a sign for the photogs to see that called her lunch date the love of her life.
Wanda Sykes has teamed up with GLSEN (The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) in a campaign to get rid of the the phrase “that’s so gay.”
Sykes is sitting in a restaurant whens he hears a group of teenagers making fun of a statue, they say “that’s so gay,” so Wanda gets up, picks up a pepper shaker and compares it to the teenagers mustache.
Gay men would rather date Prince Harry than his brother William, according to a poll.
More than a third those questioned expressed a desire for a romance with Harry, while William received 23 per cent of the vote. A third of the single gay men said they would steer clear of both.
William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton was named as the most lusted after royal date among the nation’s lesbians.
The Prince Charming poll was conducted by dating website gay-PARSHIP.com and found that 23 per cent of lesbians wanted to date Miss Middleton compared with just 18 per cent who wanted to get close to Chelsy Davy.
Five per cent said they would date both the girls but more than half said they did not fancy either.
Adrian Gillan, spokesman for gay-PARSHIP, said: “This fraught romantic vote suggests divided royal loyalties.
“Indeed, many gay male singles are so torn they say they would need to date both our young princes, whose female love interests prove only slightly less of a queer pull.
“Being part of an inclusive, modern monarchy, William and Harry will be delighted that they and their close circle can arouse such strong emotions from Britain’s homosexual subjects.

Sacha Baron Cohen pissed off Italian police and fashionistas alike yesterday after wreaking havoc through a major Milan fashion show as Bruno — his flamboyantly gay version of Borat — without permission.
After somehow sneaking his way onto the catwalk in a ridiculously awesome velcro suit, Cohen managed to get about halfway down the runway before a bunch of hoity toity tightasses freaked out and dragged the dude off the stage and into a waiting police car.
One day after Clay Aiken came out of the closet and told People that he is indeed gay, some celebrities are reacting to the news.
Simon Cowell, who judged Aiken on American Idol tells Extra “wow, that’s a shock. It’s like being told Santa Clause isn’t real — unbelievable.”
Cowell then softened and encouraged Aiken with “Good for him. If he said it, it’s the right thing for him. Good for him.” As for how Aiken’s fans will react, Cowell opined, “I don’t think anyone cares. Let’s face it. It’s 2008. You know, who cares?” Did Aiken really ask Cowell to be the godfather of Parker? “No,” Simon dishes, “I don’t know him well enough, and I think I’d be the last person on Earth he’d call.”
Lance Bass who came out to People back in 2006 is also speaking about the singers coming out.
