^ #143 MS_MAC1 I agree 100% with your comments. You hit that shyt on the head…Now theres a few items that are not so blind to people with common sense!!!

@90 I agree with you 100 %.

I just want to say it’s not rocket science people; all you have to do is step out of box. Think about it: we now know that the actors that are considered to be Hollywood Icons lived a double life (gay): Cary Grant, Marlon Brando , James Dean, Rock Hudson, Merv Griffin, and the list goes on. The same could be said about today’s actors and actress. Just look at those who grew up in Hollywood as child actors and or the children of legends. Like: Jodie Fostor, Jane Fonda (who acknowledges her affair with a young Melanie Griffin and how she witnessed bi-sexual activities of famous actors and actress at her Dad’s house)Neil Patrick Harris ,Drew Barrymore,Elijah Wood,Tatum O’Neal.I’m not saying all but take in to consideration it’s the environment in which they live in. Some get turned out ,some do for career advancement and the others well… there simply gay . Don’t know how or what happend to Eddie or Johnny but it is what it is and yes Johnny Morton is gay, a well known fact in KC, where he played for the Chiefs. It just so happens that he hangs with Eddie, Sharmar Moore(sp),Sugar Ray, and others that are thought to be on the DL . Coincidence ?! You decide.

OK ITS NOT MIKE STRAHN HES UGLY…EDDIE AND JOHNNY ARE FRIENDS…WILL SMITH AND DUANE MARTIN WORK ON THAT SHOW ALL OF US TOGETHER….NOW IF U WOULD HAVE SAID WILL SMITH AND DJ JAZZY JEFF LOL..BUT I LOVE WILL I DONT THINK HES GAY..I DO THINK JADA IS A DIKE THOUGH

OKAY People!! C’mon! She said VETERANS - So, I agree with most of you when you say Eddie Murphy - but he and Johnny Gill are doing fine! It’s Eddie and Arsenio Hall! Now THOSE are downlow veterans!!

As for the football player - I’m really baffled

I agree with #19, how she know everybody’s damn business. everyone can guess all day long and won’t figure the shit out cuz it’s a bunch of lies. how is she the only one that know this.

I’m changing my mind. After re-reading the item, I see it said “over the years”. That means it’s been a minute since the two were palsy walsy. Eddie was at Gill’s 40th birthday party, so it must be Arse-nio and Eddie.

LOL OK I CHANGE MY MIND I DO THINK ITS EDDIE JOHNNIE AND MORTON…BUT IM WONDERING BECAUE JOHNNIE ANDEDDIE HAVE STILL BEEN SPOTTED TOGETHER AND IT SAYS PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT FRIENDS..AND IF ITS EDDIE AND ARSENIO IT CANT BE MORTON BECAUSE MORTON WASNT AROUND WHEN HIM AND ARSENIO STOP BEING FRIENDS…

#121 I cant remeber the guys name something like boshay(nickname) but laveraneus is a very nice guy i was surprised when he revealed that on oprah i was fortunate to know him and talk to him when we were in school but i do believe it is a constant battle dealing with the sexual abuse especially since his mother stayed with the dude and is still with him thats why he got that battery when he was in school beating the guy up for hitting his mom but i do not think it is him for this blind item

Stop with the “no homo” that is so 3 years ago!!

Test

@ #144 You go She-Ra, now can you tell us who killed Jimmy Hoffa? lol

Holly dear, Calm down. You need some air.

I have no issue with your version of “fun.” I love fun. Fun is, well, fun!

But perhaps your too thick to understand what my post was saying. Re-read the first few lines and then get back at me. In fact, read it like six more times just so it can sink in.

And as far as having a stick up my ass, I have none. But seeing as how you have a clear fascinantion with assholes and what goes into them, maybe we can make some arrangements for you to climb into mine and see if you can find one.

Peace

OKAY EVERYONE. THE ANSWER HAS BEEN MADE OFFICIAL.

THE 2 D.L. VETERANS ARE EDDIE MURPHY AND ARSENIO HALL…AND THE NFL PLAYER THEY WERE TRIPPING OVER IS JOHNNIE MORTON.

OKAY..NOW THAT WE HAVE CAME TOGETHER AND SOLVED THIS BLIND ITEM…THEN LET’S JUST MOVE ON AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE…LOL

Anyway, for whoever said that Will isn’t gay…I beg to differ. Both Will and Jada are bisexual…they’re not fooling me, but I see that they have many other people fooled. Some months ago, some chick came out and revealed that her and Jada have been having a lesbian affair for the past 3 years…and for some reason, I actually believe it. And there have been so many gay rumors about Will, but it’s a rumor, so no one knows if it’s true…but my “gaydar” detector goes off whenever I see Will…even Jada. Will is not trippin on Jada sleeping with a woman, and apparently, I don’t think she will trip on Will sleeping with a dude *shrugs*. They have the most open marriage I have ever known of. They are so in sync with each other…so that’s the main reason why many people feel that Will and Jada are not having homosexual affairs with other people.

The down-low situation for celebrities goes for both MEN AND WOMEN. I know of several female celebrities who are “undercover”. To be honest, I’ve slept with a common female celeb before..and she told me that she definitely doesn’t want her homosexuality to get out, because she has a feeling that it will put a huge dent in her reputation and her career..and I know it will.

It’s a damn shame that celebrities have to pretend to be heterosexual just to please everyone else. Society is so fucked up. Many people can’t even be who they wanna be. All of these men are using “girlfriends”, “wives”, and “children” as a cover-up just so no one will find out their true sexuality. That’s why the STD and HIV population is constantly growing.

Hiv and Std is rising because stupid people don’t use protection.

It doesn’t matter what sex you sleep with. If they have something and you don’t use protection you have it too.

I never said anything about Jada because this blind item wasn’t about her.

Trust me, Will Smith is not gay, his wife however does swing both ways. He doesn’t mind so why should we?

#163(UHUH) - I didn’t mean that HIV and AIDS is only happening just because of homosexuality. I know damn well that’s not true. What I meant was is so many people on the “down low” are going out having a fake heterosexual relationship as a “cover-up”, then they turn around and go sleep with their homosexual lovers. And yes, they are the stupid ones because some of them don’t use protection.

A homosexual female who is involved in a fradulent heterosexual relationship with a man is sleeping with this man, then goes out the next day and sleep with a female…and so on and so forth. Both heterosexual and homosexual people do it. The shit is crazy. People need to stop sleeping with the opposite sex is they know that the opposite sex is not what they want.

The footbal player is Johnny Morton….the dude is fine as hell and his ex-wife Shenice has made it known about his ways….

Johnny Morton was introduced to Eddie Murphy through John Salley (Johnny and Salley both played for Detroit sports teams and they were cool)…Johnny used to hang with Eddie Murphy from time to time…so I would imagine he is the second party….

Arsenio late a** is probably the third person because Eddie and Arsenio aren’t all that cool anymore…

Johnnie Morton was called a “faggot” by Matt Millen. (The GM of the Detroit Lions) He was not berated by his former teammates. Matt Millen had to publicly apologize for his remarks.

As much as I hate to admit it,this blind item is made up.
To Ms.Panache,love your website,but please,this is getting a bit ridiculous,Gossip is cool,but fiction is just stupidity.

Honestly how many black people are gay? Like whats the percentage? 85%, 90%. Man, niggas is fucking up. (no homo)

Ms_Mac1….all I can say is pop your muthafuckin’ collar. Pimpin’ at it’s best girl! You broke that shit down can called this trick ass “blind item” shit for what it really is. If people wanna hate, let’em hate. Brush your shoulder off and keep it movin’ baby girl.

DigThat

@ Ms Mac..Tiki is QUESTIONABLE girl!!! LOL!

The athlete is Terrell Owens

It not Terrell Owens….read the previous posts!!!

It was Batman and Robin fighting over the Penguin triffling ass because he sucked off Cesar Romero who was taken it in the a$$ from Cary Grant..all being observed by Capn Crunch, who just came out of the closet as a flaming gay man!!

And Myra Panche just became a State Senator last night and is being stalked by MSMAC who wants to deliver a lethal blow to her throat!!!!!

See I get a lot of information off of the “Loop”!!…..

oh…and…”no homo”!!

the athlete is terrell owens…. immaculate, attention seeking drama queen… the two ” DL veterns”, I dont know..?

This is wayy too vague.

It’s T.O. they’re fightin over!!!

@ #93…Captain Crunch?

It’s hard to say because most of these male celebrities are coming off suspicious as hell.

Its is Johnnie Morton. Here’s a link for some background..

And here’s a picture..yummy!

Oh yeah one more thing:http://www.outsports.com/nfl/2003/1216millenmorton.htm

Ok I’m done lol.

Its Michael Strahan

You seem to be a bit overly sensitive Ms_mac1… Maybe you need a time out.

Not once did I specifically target, chastise, or correct your comment (because you weren’t the 1st, only, or last to make that/similar comment) and neither did I insinuate that people in the business were ’special’ (if you really recognized game- you’d see that I was merely pointing out how f’d up the game is)…

Your attack on my intelligence (and those ‘who concur’ with me) is baseless, unneccessary and trifling. It merely reflects your own personal level of maturity.

Furthermore, if you think that their behavior doesn’t affect “regular people”- then you are sadly mistaken. When these athletes, celebrities & entertainers travel- who do you think they are hooking up with? The oh-so-fine cutie down the street that no one knows is on the low, who is sleeping with your man (or his mistress/last girlfriend/booty buddy- you pick).

Then ooops! Someone has now contracted herpes (if they’re lucky) or some form of HIV. But if you want some brothers near you… let me help you out Ms_mac1 - why don’t you email me at 12inches@myself.com. Tell me what area you’re in and I’ll send you links to the ‘DL brother down the street’- maybe that’ll make you feel better.

You ask about Myra Panache and her motives, why she doesn’t drop names, etc and then you call her a Devil. [Tsk, tsk, tsk- especially when you are showing some tendencies yourself.] I can’t answer for her, so why don’t you email her and just ask.

But if you remember I said, “If you don’t know, it’s not for you” and that is the really the bottom line. For people who know the real- these blind items are simply confirmation that they aren’t the only one who knew that dirt. For those that don’t, it gives them the opportunity to make a fun guess…

So, maybe these blind item postings are not for YOU. If you get this worked up and bent out of shape over some words about people who you’ll probably never meet- then maybe you should sit the next (and any future) blind item out.

@81 Wow that’s deep and belivable. My guess would be Eddie and Johnny.

I know we’re sick of these. I know I am.

MS. JANE(thang)and RODMAN fighting over RU PAUL?
who cares anyway NEXT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ 162.. Um what “Celebrity” you’ve had sex with? Please don’t say it K.D. Aubert! But I know you want to say..because you wouldn’t have even mentioned it.

Russel simmons and P. Diddy. Then, Donovan McNabb or the quarterback for the Atlanta falcons.

@ SOSAD MORTON IS AN EXCELLENT PIC!! I Always thought that fool was a fag!! So did his GM when he played in Detroit!!

@ Risha..Please leave Donovan OUT OF THIS!! LOL. J/P.

People wake up it cannot be Johnnie and Eddie they are still great friends, and just recently we saw them together, let’s think and stop being silly

It’s funny that the majority of people are saying Johnnie Morton is the athlete. His brother
Chad Morton is DEFINITELY gay. He plays for the
New York Giant(punt returner/running back). I live in Dc, and when he played for the Redskins, he id interviews on the local news here, and my God, he is so stereotypically gay,,just watch him talk and his body language.Now he definitely has “immaculate looks”. I guess gayness runs in the family.

Here’s a link below..lol

http://www.giants.com/tea.../player.asp?player_id=166

OOOh I kept this secret for years but here goes…I have a friend that is in a semi-popular rap group. He was in a club one night and was propositioned by Malik Yoba (from New York Undercover)My friend is not gay and couldn’t believe this big ashy lipped bama tried to pick him up. New York Undercover huh? Undercover is right…..

lol @ Bill and his “no homo” tag. People are sure curious about the lives of gay and “rumored” gay people…..smh

@ #169 - Archuletachick:

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Say it ain’t so homegirl!!!!!! Please. Don’t ruin me like that. All I have are my dreams. ;0)

@ Nunya,

Thank you for coming out. God Bless. Good night.

You have to read the clues. These two characters fell out with one another. Not on speaking terms………and still not on speaking terms. These two people were close. And knew each other from back in the day, early eighties. They said STILL NOT ON SPEAKING TERMS. I would bet my last dollar it is Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. I am gonna do some more research on the third party.

Mya Panache, go away. This blind item ish is stupid. Go find some white people to talk trash about.

#189(LETI) - Yeah…Johnnie Morton’s brother Chad Morton is an NFL player also…and I know for a fact that he’s gay…it’s oh so obvious.

And I’ve always suspected Johnnie Morton of being gay. Johnnie is singer Shanice’s first husband, and Shanice even let it be known that she found out Johnnie Morton was gay.

I guess gayness does run in their family. And Johnnie and Chad Morton are both mixed with half-black/half-Japanese. I wonder why every guy I’ve ever known of that is half-black/half-Asian always is found out to be gay or bisexual. Why is that?..lol

And NFL player Will Demps(the guy from Letoya’s “Torn” video) is half-black/half-Korean, and he gives me that “homosexual” vibe. He’s one of those pretty boys that all the ladies love, but my gaydar goes off everytime I see him. I’m pretty sure he’s one of the “down-low” brothers also. It will be found out soon.

@ 186

Has your gaydar told you that you look like a dude?

Ya’ll better take it back about Cap’n Crunch!! He didn’t chew chunchberries!

I mean crunchberries. My bad. Back to the plantation.

#197(COMMON SENSE) - I guess you think you’re trying to be funny with that smart ass remark that you just made toward me. But I, nor anyone else needs to have “gaydar” on me, because I’m not in the closet. I’m openly gay. So don’t even go there with me with that lame ass shit. Stick to the damn topic.

The two DL veterans are Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphy. I dont know who the athlete is.

Thought it was Dennis Rodman til I re-read and saw football. Unless they are trying to throw us off. The description SCREAMS Rodman.

I was gonna go with Jay Z and R Kelly too.

I was also thinking Will Smith and Bruce Willis. OR Will Smith and Tom Cruise.

Arsenio and Eddie is a real good guess. Whoever is clueless on how real this DL lifestyle is, You betta wake up or you won’t just be dating one, you’ll mess around and marry one too. Yes, single ladies, if you are dating, chances are very great that you have come across a DL man. That is a fact. I have a few gay friends that have been sleeping with “confused straights” (as they call them)for years. Years. This goes back to the 70’s guys. My gay friends now, tell me that they are primarily hit on by so called straight men in straight bars/places. Tap into a gay mans world, you will be amazed!!!!! My other friends lover used to go “cruising” like every night to spread this FULL BLOW AIDS virus. He’d go to a certain park or strip, see a man, they would handle their business and then leave. AT times, no words are even exchanged. Not even, wear a condom.

There’s not enough information. That could be ANYbody. We don’t even know what sport they’re in. Do better next time

It sounds like the guy they were fighting over is Terrell Owens.

@ Nunya,

Nunya says:

ROTFLMAO! Whew, your ass is funny! Is that what it’s called these days? Having an opinion is dangerous- if you are deemed homosexual for simply expressing yours. Especially with you issuing invitations up your ass to find the stick in it… but hey that’s your business. No Judgement!

Nice list Bill but King James I and William Shakespeare were not homosexuals. Those were rumors started by their rivals after they died to ruin their reputations (at least according to what I’ve read).

Proof. It’s not like these people can’t know each other. But after the other posts about who was gay, it’s suspicious how they are associated with each other. A damn shame!

http://graphics10.nytimes...0/sports/10jets.1.600.jpg

I’m definitely going to say Terrell Owens as the athlete and the two celebs going from the word Veteran are Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall

By Scoop Jackson
Page 2

Last Wednesday he was on CNN answering the questions about his relevance and how it felt to be 65.

Last Thursday he was in Pontiac, Mich., campaigning for attorney general Amos Williams and to help prevent Proposal 2 from going into effect.

With the help of Jesse Jackson, Ben Wallace and Ron Artest closed the door on The Brawl last Friday.

Last Friday he was inside the Sacramento Kings’ locker room.

Praying.

But this time there were no cameras, no invited media pundits, no staged junket — nothing to serve his personal purpose, like so many of the “events” he shows up at where he’s accused of being there for himself and not for the people in the middle of the storm.

This time Jesse Jackson was legit. Sincere. He knew this had nothing to do with him.

He first went to the Bulls’ locker room and asked Ben Wallace to come with him. Unable to say no, Wallace followed him down the corridor into the locker room of the team that had just beaten the Bulls by one, after the Bulls had a four-point lead with 17 seconds left.

Back in the mirrored area, where the media is not allowed, Ron Artest was finishing getting dressed.

Ron, meet Ben. Ben, meet Ron. Let us pray.

It was the first time since they initiated the brawl in Detroit almost two years ago that Wallace and Artest had been face-to-face in the same room. It was a moment the Reverend had to be a part of, if not cause.

Amens said, hugs given, within minutes it was done. Over. Wallace left the locker room, Artest finished getting dressed.

Afterward, both talked.

One saying he held “no grudge” towards the other; the other saying he was “kinda over it.”

“But,” Artest added before leaving the locker room, “it was always in the back of my mind. It was good to get a chance to talk to [Ben]. I always wanted to talk to him. To take a hit like that, not playing in the NBA a whole year, I was frustrated. It was good that I had a chance to talk to him and finally say, ‘Wassup.’ ”

Wallace went one step further. “It was a nice gesture [of Jackson]. We had already talked on the floor. There’s no hard feelings. It is what it is. All that stuff is in the past.”

But the reality is, that “stuff” is not in the past. We are still dealing with it. And the culture of sports in this country will be dealing with it every day until every amendment in David Stern’s four-month-old mission statement is in the DNA of every player in the League — or something worse happens.

The socioeconomic, sociological, sociobehavioral, socioethical, psychological and racial aftereffects of that Wallace-Artest-initiated incident are still haunting everyone connected to sports. And even though those two seemed to have moved past it, it was something that remained unsettled, still lingering in our lives.

Which is something Rev. Jackson knew, even though Artest and Wallace may not have been aware of it. He knew that “acknowledging” each other before the game was not enough. Which is why he brought them together, even after they had settled things on their own. He knew this one needed closure.

And even though they didn’t call him, he was called to do this. To go beyond a peace treaty or international negotiation or serving as a family spokesperson; to step up and do something that no one else thought was necessary, to think about healing souls instead of healing wounds; to be inside a bathroom with two NBA superstars, holding hands, heads bowed.

Praying.

And the fact that no one was summoned there to document the moment spits volumes. The fact that Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune and Sam Amick of the Sacramento Bee were the only writers to highlight the moment is so opposite what Jesse Jackson has been criticized for being ’bout: Jesse Jackson.

That’s all.

For so long he’s been accused of being a lot of things — grandstander, opportunist, philanderer, agitator, instigator are just a few words that often accompany his name — but being a bird of prey in this was not one of them.

In the name of sports — of which he is a huge fan — Jesse Jackson came genuine. No hidden agenda, no self-indulgent prophecy, no political posturing, no grandstanding. No selfishness.

Just selflessness.

He came because deep down he knew how much Ben Wallace and Ron Artest needed to find peace in their lives in front of each other, and how much the game of basketball needed this to cleanse itself of that demon that has been following it ever since that Nov. 19 day.

He came because deep down he knew how, spiritually, David Stern and the NBA needed this. There’s only so much a mission statement, zero-tolerant refs, an enforced dress code and a new ball can heal.

He came with the audacity to hope. To hope that a difference could be made through him, not because of him.

“They had prayer and [will] move on to the next level,” Jackson said to Smith, who wrote about the issue in his column on Sunday. “It was important for them and for the sport and for children who watch the game. These scars must not be terminal scars.”

Up until Friday night, it seemed as if the scars might be not only terminal, but permanent. Everlasting. But thanks to what the critics would no doubt call “an uncharacteristic, atypical gesture” by one of society’s greatest civil and human rights leaders, the final sentence to the worst chapter in American sports history is officially complete.

Now we can all move on.

Now, I’m not going to go so far as to say the NBA needs Jesse Jackson instead of Stu Jackson. But, for one night in the first week of the season, a very sincere exception to the rule was made.

Last Saturday I was at my youngest son’s Biddy League game.

With 38 seconds left, with one team about to win by 10, one player ran up to another player during an out-of-bounds play and bumped him. Hard.

A punch was thrown. It connected. Benches emptied. Coaches, refs, parents and supervisors grabbed kids and separated everyone. Order restored, the game resumed.

The seconds ticked off the clock. All the players from each team shook hands after the game. All except two.

They were placed in separate rooms. Neither one of them was mine, but after Friday night, the responsibility of being selfless was.

As I was leaving the gym, one of the directors, the league commissioner, who was in a room with one of the kids involved in the incident, called my name.

“Mr. Jackson,” he said to me, “can you come here for a moment and talk to the players?”

Now I know how Jesse felt.

its micheal delorenzo and malik yoba off new york undercover i forgot the athlete they fightin over an jus because hollywood is full of ass dont mean they dont want some dick in they life

Wow..this is off the hook. For the record, i am a straight woman, but i’ve been a card-carrying ‘fag hag’, for over 20 years, and i can smell trade in 20 paces.

Re: Ray Lewis..strong possiblity. One of the dudes who stabbed the guy in ATL is ‘in the life’. In the 90’s, he used to sell drugs at one of the ‘children’s spots’ i used to hang out at called the Sportsman’s Bar (not to be confused with the Sportsman’s Lounge on the west side). It’s on Park Avenue off of Franklin Street. He beat this queen i knew down over $20. He also lived in Mount Vernon on Charles Street right across the street from part of the park. If you are from B-More, you know ’bout Mount Vernon.

Plus, Ray beats up on his women. Sometimes, the hard DL guys do that because deep down, they really don’t like women.

On the B-More tip, yes, Jada likes girls too. She used to go to this ‘children’s’ after hours spot called the Last Stop. She was still a teenager when she hung out there.

My gaydar went off about Michael Strayhan years ago. He has that twinkle in his eyes. His lover is NOT Dr. Ian. It’s Dr. Ian’s twin brother !!! They are together a lot working out, bike riding, etc. He moved in with Dr. Ian because he IS married, and moving in with the twin brother would’ve set off too many red flags about their relationship.

Eddie and Johnny are a couple, and have been for years, so i don’t think it’s them. Jamie Foxx and LL made up not that long ago. I’ve heard for years that LL is in the club, sad but true. They say he’s not licking those sexy lips just for women.

I wonder if it’s Vin Diesel and Larenz Tate, because they don’t seem to hang out like they used to. I also wonder if it could be Tyson Beckford and Diddy. You know they were trippin not too long ago.

Mike DeLorenzo is not DL, he’s gay..period. Donovan McNabb gives off the vibe, as much as i like him. T.O. gives off the vibe HARD. He ‘queens out’ on the regular, just in a butch way. He’s supposed to be with Sanaa Lathan, but i don’t believe it. It doesn’t seem authentic.

I always wondered about Malik Yoba and his fyne azz self, and that fyne azz Omar Epps. I’ve heard his name around for years, but i don’t get the vibe from him, Please..not them, or Clinton Portis and his young, fresh self. It would totally blow the fantasy for me.

Oh yeah..i do not think Myra Panache makes this stuff up. There have been a few times where she ran a blind item, and the situation came to light months later. If you pay close attention, you can figure out who she’s talking about..just AFTER things go down, and you say “ohhh..THAT’S who she was talking about..” I LOVE her site, and visit it on the regular. Y’all lay off Myra !!

Re: # 159: Thank you, LaLa !! Not only do they need to stop that “No Homo” mess, they ALSO need to stop with that ‘first’ ’second’ ‘third’ mess too. It’s old, it’s tired, and it’s late. There’s nothing worse than biting off of someone’s thang and trying to bring it to someone else’s thang !!

DA ANSWER IZ JONNY GILL AND EDDIE MURPHY FIGHTIN OVA TERRELL OWENS

Ok folks, here it is. It is Eddie and Arsenio. The football player is none other than…..Deion Sanders. The clue said the football player was very handsome, not really known for his OFFENSIVE skills (Deion played cornerback on defense), known for dating a variety of women and never actually confirmed to be gay. Terrell Owens is an offensive beast, so it’s not him and it also DL veterans. Eddie, Arsenio and Deion. Remember Deion also considered himself the fashion plate too and was always groomed.

I have inside knowledge that it is Tiki Barber for sure… My homeboy is this little white kid who sucked Tiki B. off for three hunnert bucks… The kid is a waiter, and you wouldn’t know he was gay either unless you know him personally. Don’t doubt it for a second, this ain’t no bull$#it story.

[...] show, as anyone who regularly listens to her show would know, they may or may not be one of the blind items mentioned in her new tell-all book. Many are speculating that they’re one of the aliased characters in Terrence Dean’s new [...]
