A couple of weeks ago we posted a video of Joe Jonas leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles when someone from the paparazzi asked him if he is gay. Now he’s been asked it again for the second time on video.
While walking his dog and hanging out with a couple of his friends, who I’m assuming are gay, in West Hollywood one of the paparazzi asked him if he is gay. To which Joe said “sorry, buddy — no.” The pap then tells Joe that he is gay himself and there is no need to apologize.
Again like I said last time – I don’t care if the Jonas Brothers are gay, I thought they were anyway, but I think it’s rude of the paps to corner him and his him that while on video.
Johnny Weird has officially come out of the closet and announced to the world that he is gay. Well this should come as no absolutely nobody, if it does then I fear for you.
Johnny has a new memoir coming out, titled Welcome To My World, and he has been releasing excerpts to help promote it. Of course one of the excerpts, and probably the only reason people are going to buy the book, is his coming out. Here is what he writes…
“In a sexual way, I’m gay, but I would marry a woman tomorrow if it struck me. I don’t think sex and relationships necessarily have to go together. With people killing themselves and being scared into the closet, I hope that even just one person can gain strength from my story. A lot of the gays got downright angry about my silence. But pressure is the last thing that would make me want to ‘join’ a community. I’m not ashamed to be me. More than anyone else I know, I love my life and accept myself. What’s wrong with being unique? I am proud of everything that I am and will become.”
I’m not one bit surprised but good for him, although I think he’s a bit angry from the way he speaks about other gay people wanting him to come out.

As you can see in the video, Joe Jonas was leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles last night when a member of the paparazzi decided to ask him if the rumors about him being gay are true.
Now I don’t really give a shit about the Jonas Brothers and if they are in fact gay, I always assumed they were, but I thought that was kinda rude. He also asked him if his contract with Ashley Greene is up for being his beard, if it is then she can come find me.
It’s obvious the paparazzo just wanted Joe to flip his shit and go all Britney on him, but instead of doing this Joe remembered he has to keep the bosses at Disney happy so he just held his cool and said “try to have some respect bro.”
Here’s a damning story in The National Enquirer, in which they report of a semi-secret ski and spa getaway John Travolta took with three male buddies right before Christmas.
We’ve heard that Travolta likes picking up men in spas, and Carrie Fisher recently claimed that his sexuality was an open secret in Hollywood.
Now the Enquirer reports that he left right before Christmas to meet up with three male friends at Stowe resort in Vermont, where they were seen enjoying an intimate dinner and indulging in spa treatments together.
Travolta has a one month-old baby at home, and his wife Kelly Preston is said to have pleaded with him not to take off right before Christmas.
Maybe John should add the National Enquirer to the list of lawsuits, with Gawker.
On the same day that John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, welcomed their new son – his time fired off a legal letter to Gawker telling them to remove a post about his secret gay sex life.
Gawker interviewed author Robert Randolph about having seen Travolta giving blowjobs and having sex with other men in Los Angeles gay spas but the actors lawyers didn’t take this too lightly and sent off a five page legal letter demanding the post be removed.
Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, says the post is “false and outrageous” and that the author himself admitted that he suffered permanent brain damage back in 2003. He also says the idea that Travolta “engaged in multiple adulterous sexual encounters in different public locations in Los Angeles (where he does not live), and that each time, the (nonexistent) events were coincidentally witnessed by [Randolph], is absolutely ridiculous.”
Gawker have yet to remove the post, or even comment on it. So they obviously aren’t too concerned with the letter, which you can read in the thumbnails below.
I kind of feel bad for John Travolta and his wife because there has always been rumors about him being gay, or at least bi. The reason I feel bad for him mostly because it must be awful having to live your whole life in the public eye and it being a lie.

Sarah Palin‘s daughter, Willow Palin, got herself in a fight on Facebook last night all because some guy said he thought her mom’s new reality show was shit. In the fight she dropped a bunch of homophobic slurs.
Some kid named Tre said he thought the show, which premiered on Sunday night, was “failing so hard right now” and then a few other people said it was awful too. Willow, who is 16-years-old, didn’t take too kindly to this and wrote back saying…
“Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I’ve seen pictures of, your disgusting … My sister had a kid and is still hot. Tre stfu. Your such a f**got.”
More people started to comment and hen Bristol Palin jumped in and said the kid is “running his mouth to talk shit” and that he’ll “be as successful as my baby daddy, And actually I do work my ass off. I’ve been a single mom for the last two years.”
You can check out the screenshot after the jump below, it’s like being back in high school all over again. I really hate when people use homophobic slurs so they can get their point across, it disgusts me. But then again this is the Palin family so I shouldn’t be surprised.
Madonna has appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres show today to speak about against bullying and the recent group of teenagers who have committed suicide because they are gay. Here is what she had to say…
“I’m incredibly disturbed and saddened by the overwhelming number of teen suicides that have been reported lately because of bullying … to hear that teenagers are taking their lives because they are being bullied in schools and dormitories, what have you, is kind of unfathomable. If you want to talk about solutions or how can we solve this problem, try to get through the day each and everyone of us without gossiping about somebody. And not only that. Not even listening to gossip. Walking away from it. Can you imagine what your day would be like? How much more free time you’d have? I also feel like you’d feel about better about yourself.”
She also talked about speaking about this with her own children.

When people break-up they always want to experience other people, be it straight away or after a couple of months, but what isn’t so common is when one of the people decides to go gay. But after all this is Hollywood so here is a list of 10 celebrities that decided to play for the same.
Since the shock of Christina Aguilera‘s recent divorce announcement from Jordan Bratman, it’s been revealed that Aguilera turned to Samantha Ronson for emotional support when her marriage started to crumble. And it’s been said that Jordan eventually “found himself unnecessary in his wife’s life.” And during their marriage, it’s been said that Christina picked up women at gay bars around Los Angeles, one solicited woman said, “The bodyguard told me it was an understanding within their marriage and that she brings girls home and Jordan’s okay with it… I met Christina in the bathroom and she told me she liked to play with girls.” Well, perhaps Christina and Ronson can be of comfort to each other now that their loves are lost? We’ve rounded up a few other celebs who went gay after their big breakups or divorces.
Back in the mid-‘90s, Anne Heche dated Steve Martin for two years but eventually left him for Ellen DeGeneres, whom she dated until 2000. It’s even been rumored that Heche was Martin’s inspiration for Heather Graham‘s character in “Bowfinger,” who hooked up with Bowfinger to get ahead but ends up with “the most powerful lesbian in Hollywood.” Martin denies any similarities. Guffaw.
Cynthia Nixon was dating an English professor named Danny Mozes for 15 years and had two children with him, but got separated in 2003 when she began seeing education activist Christine Marinoni. Nixon and Marinoni got engaged in 2009 and now raise Nixon’s kids together.
After Al and Tipper Gore got divorced after 40 years of marriage, it was rumored that Gore was “caught up in a nasty gay affair.” Of course, there were also rumors that he was sexually harassing homely female hotel masseurs, so it’s hard to know who to believe.
Meredith Baxter played the matriarch on “Family Ties” and had five kids from three different marriages. After her third divorce in 2000, Meredith admitted that it took a few years before she “discovered herself” and began dating Nancy Locke, who she’s been with since 2005. She didn’t come out of the closet until 2009 though, when the National Enquirer printed pictures of her on a gay cruise.
Portia de Rossi says that she has known she was a lesbian since she was little, but she married documentary filmmaker Mel Metcalfe in 1996, in an effort to get a green card. After their divorce in 1999, Portia said “it just obviously wasn’t right” and began dating singer Francesca Gregorini for 4 years, eventually falling for and marrying Ellen DeGeneres in 2008.
Former N’Sync member Lance Bass dated women until he was 22 years old, including “Boy Meets World” actress Danielle Fishel. Bass knew he was gay early on but thought it would be “something that I would have to hide my whole life.” Of dating women, Bass said, “I’ve definitely, you know, been with women. And I’ve had great relationships with them where I was definitely in love. It’s just I grew to a point where deep inside I knew that I could never truly have a relationship with a woman. I don’t know if they ever suspected. It was never brought up.” Instead of keeping up with the charade, Bass came out in 2006.
After losing her spot on “The View,” Star Jones‘s marriage to Al Reynolds also fell apart. Reynolds spoke up afterward, mentioning that he takes pride in his appearance and “some people call that kind of soft” or “metrosexual.” He also said that he agreed to leave his plush Wall Street job to support Star’s career. But apparently, all of that was in order to deny that he was gay as the rumor mill persistently insisted.
Tom Cruise‘s “Top Gun” love interest, Kelly McGillis has two kids from two marriages, but came out last year after having “battled with her sexuality for more than 40-years.” She denied her homosexuality in 2007, after appearing on “The L Word” but last month, Kelly married her girlfriend Melanie Leis, who she met when Leis worked at the restaurant McGillis owned with her then-husband Fred Tillman.
In her teen years, Jodie Foster was involved with Scott Baio and used to make out with him on the set of “Bugsey Malone” and “Foxes.” Foster began dating producer Cydney Bernard in 1993, while raising two sons from unknown father(s) but only admit to that relationship 14-years later at a Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment breakfast. The two broke up in 2007.

Justin Bieber found himself in trouble with the law over the weekend after he was accused of hitting a 12-year-old boy during a game of laser tag. But now it’s been revealed that Bieber was the victim of homophobic bullying.
He didn’t actually hit the kid according to witnesses, who tell police that during the game of laser tag the 12-year-old kid kept targeting Bieber and wouldn’t stop shooting him so Bieber eventually told him “that’s enough” to which the kid said “what are you gonna do it about it, faggot?”
The kid then called Bieber a faggot again and put his hand out towards him, that is when Bieber pushed his hand away. The father of the kid called up the police and falsely reported assault. Police are still investigating the incident but say they know Bieber did not instigate it.
Because of this Justin Bieber is now going to take part in anti-bullying campaign which has been targeting homophobia. He is apparently telling friends that even though he is a straight teenager, he didn’t realize how hurtful the comments are.

Lara Stone is featured in the November 2010 issue of British Vogue and she talks to the magazine about having children, which she says she would love to have gay babies.
She says “I would love to have children some day. I’d like little gay boys. That would be good. I’m terrified of having a little girl. Girls are more evil than boys. And then they have boyfriends. Of course, I’d be happy to have a girl.”"
I wonder if having gay babies is going to be the next celebrity craze? Robbie Williams also recently said that he would like to have gay children. How they plan on having gay children is beyond me though, it’s not as if you can predict if someone is going to be gay or not.

In September, five teenage boys killed themselves after being physically or verbally (or both) assaulted for being gay.
The suicides of Tyler Clementi, 18, Billy Lucas, 15, Asher Brown, 13, Justin Aaberg, 15, and Seth Walsh, 13, have brought national attention to the epidemic of bullying in American schools.
Now, a number of stars, many of whom have personal experience with anti-gay bullying, are speaking out in hopes of raising awareness and providing support to teens and young adults who are being victimized or who are having trouble dealing with their sexuality. The topic is also addressed in a cover story for this week’s People magazine and in a week-long series on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360.
Most recently, ‘Project Runway‘ mentor Tim Gunn spoke candidly about his own suicide attempt and his support for The Trevor Project, a national 24-hour, toll-free confidential suicide hotline for gay and questioning youth. “I understand the desperation. I understand the despair,” an emotional Gunn said with tears in his eyes. “And I understand how isolated you can feel … It will get better. I promise.”
Comedienne Sarah Silverman has inspired some controversy by positing that a national atmosphere of institutionalized homophobia, as exemplified by the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy as well as campaigns for constitutional amendments to ban civil marriage for same-sex couples, are at the heart of this epidemic.

Other celebrities involved: Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, Bill O’Reilly, Anne Hathaway, Jenny McCarthy, Daniel Radcliffe, Lance Bass, Ian Somerhalder and Kristin Cavallari.
Inception star Tom Hardy is engaged to a woman and had a two year old son with a former girlfriend, but British tabloid The Daily Mail is claiming the 32-year-old actor says he’s also had sex with men.
Asked if he’d ever had sexual relations with another man, Hardy reportedly said:
“As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for fuck’s sake. I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my thirties, it doesn’t do it for me. I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.”
Hardy is scoring rave reviews for his work in the film and is set to begin filming the latest installment in the Mad Max series opposite Charlize Theron later this year.
Daniel Craig has been caught up in a gay scandal after he was apparently caught kissing another guy in a parking lot of a gay club on May 15.
An onlooker spoke to the National Enquirer, he was also took a polygraph test to prove he is telling the truth, and said that he seen the James Bond actor making out with an ubnknown guy in the parking lot of Roosterfish Bar in Venice Beach. He said…
“It was definitely Daniel Craig, and he was most certainly making out with a guy, Daniel kissed his friend on the lips. It was an open-mouth passionate French kiss. In fact, Daniel held the guy’s head in his hands and pulled him in for the kiss!”
He says that as soon as Daniel, who is engaged to producer Satsuki Mitchell, realized they were being watched by the onlooker he broke the kiss off immediately and pretended like it never happened.
Another guy in the club confirms that Daniel was in the club, he said…
“When Daniel and his friend walked in, they looked like any other upscale gay couple checking out the scene. He rubbed Daniel’s leg and shoulder while they talked, and Daniel didn’t seem to mind. At first, I thought Daniel may have come in with his gay friend to check out the live music. But when they started dancing together, I thought, ‘This is more than just two friends out for drinks.’”
I’m not really sure whether I believe this or not, I mean the guy could have believed he seen Daniel Craig in the club and that’s how he passed the polygraph test – even if Bond wasn’t there. But then again you never really know, it’s no secret that many actors in Hollywood are in the closet and have fake relationships to keep their secret. I don’t understand why the guy didn’t pull out his cellphone or camera and take a photo to prove his story.
Country singer Chely Wright didn’t want to be the first country artist to “come out of the closet,” but she’s coming out now.
But now Wright is changing her tune. “Nothing in my life has been more magical than the moment I decided to come out,” she says.
Wright, 39, recalls of her youth in the South: “I don’t have a memory in my life that doesn’t include the dream of making music.” But during her childhood and rapid ascent to fame in the county world, she also experienced a community in which homosexuality was shunned. “I hid everything for my music,” says Wright.
The singer-songwriter, who has won both an Academy of Country Music and a Country Music award, will later this week release her memoir, Like Me, as well as her first album in five years, Lifted off the Ground.
She’ll also appear on the Today Show Wednesday to discuss her personal journey.
