It’s a Gay, Gay, Crazy, Mad World out there today…
With films like THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO, playing up lesbian sex with the star as example, you bet it is! Now comes the not-exactly-a-shocker story on John Travolta. Yes, they are coming out of the woodwork to tell the "He offered me money to have sex" stories.
Are they true? It would seem to be the case.
Hollywood has always had its Gay Mafia.
Many – and likely most – of the men and woman in the arts have had same sex moments. Not me, of course. But it’s all too common.
So why the buzz on John?
The media came out on him long ago. He even went into hiding in the 90’s for a few years to let the rumors die down. Remember? Then he did a couple family films, "Look Who’s Talking" and followed with "Pulp Fiction," his big comeback movie.
He was really just the same as always. He’s maybe a bit heavier and with a hairpiece now. Hey, the guy has been a huge star for 40 years, clearly the public didn’t care if he was gay or bi. When we did Champions Forever, our writer and co producer was hanging with John. We couldn’t figure out why until the rumors surfaced, and we went, "Oh, I see."
Our guy was a very well built gym rat, blonde and well, you can figure it out.
John even put our boy into a couple films like "Perfect." Maybe I should have hung out with John? Nah. By the way, they never invited the rest of our staff to go with them for even a drink. Hey, that’s Hollywood.
When I got there in 1982, the big story was Tom Cruise.
He was ratted out by some ‘friends’ on the set of THE OUTSIDERS. Based on his marriages, or pretend ones, his lifestyle is clear. Yet we put this to the side when we go see his films. I like his work very much, gay or not. I mean did he even go out with Penelope Cruz? Letterman asked if she even ever met him when they were "a couple" at the time. Most insiders felt it was fake. It clearly was just a career move for Miss Cruz. And it worked.
From Rock Hudson to Randolph Scott, the stories never stopped.
Almost all were true. Even my hero Errol Flynn said, "Why Deprive the other half?" WTF!
Hey I am a wild guy, but I just don’t have that wheel. You either do or you don’t.
I think by now we all know that most young ladies today will check out the bi-world.
I don’t know hardly any women who haven’t. That is, in today’s world. It’s common, maybe too common. I feel it’s a big reason many marriages don’t work anymore. Now that women have wanderlust for "other women"
Damn.
My nephew Jake is a junior at Shawnee Mission East and he told me, "Uncle Craig, it’s the rage…this bisexual thing in high school. It’s like the bad boys of the 80’s were Rockers, now they are bi!"
Of course, Jake is not at all interested. Yes, most kids are not buying in, but many are. The media has made it seem not only O.K. but cool. Look at our sports stars, how many of our local guys from George Brett to Nick Lowery have had the finger pointed their way with gay’ stories. George had Jeff Flanagan of the KC Star print a story saying, "Hey, I’m Not Gay!"
Remember that one?
The world is changing and I’m not sure if it’s for the better.
Now make sure you check your Facebook!
Yeah…….So
Will there ever be a time when one’s sexuality isn’t an issue? Who freaking cares? If you are someone who does, you are part of the problem. It’s just life, folks. America and its moral / religeous obsession with someone’s orientation is pathetic. Morality comes from your heart and your mind, not from your pants. Good people that care for and defend others come in every shape, color, ethnic backgound and sexual orientation. “Straights” certainly don’t hold the moral high ground by vitue of being straight. There are those that think I’m a sinner because I chose to have heterosexual sex for………….gasp…………..pleasure. Hell, being a WASP runs afoul of plenty of other religions WITHOUT being gay. So, what’s the point? There are a ton of things that I don’t “get”, but could give a shit if other people do it. Tattoos, bikers, rap music, skydivers, punk rockers, mohawks, blue hair, sushi…..just to name a few. Live and let live. You’ll be alot happier for it.
Meh, who cares?
Apparantley Cruise, John Revolting and Wil Smith do (coincidentally they are all followers of the Great Lord Xenu also) vehemently fight teh ghey rumors. I guess Hollywood cares because some still think you can’t be an action star and be a ghey.
I could care less personally but when people go to great lengths to hide something like that I guess it kind of bothers me.
Just admit it and get it out of the way and out in the open and people can’t use it against you.
Be Cool, Get Shorty is puting his Wild Hog (The Punisher)
every place but the General’s Daughter.
Better be careful, those Sauna/Staem room trysts will get ya a Saturday Night Fever Blister Blow Out faster than you can say Goldmember.
Ok, shut up, so I went for the easy low hanging fruit.
Still missing the point……
Admit it? Admit what, Dude? You should admit you stole something. You should admit when you are wrong. Should should admit you are not perfect. You should admit you cheated. Does anyone feel the need to “admit” you are heterosexual? Why should it be any different if you are gay? It’s like admitting you have brown hair or admitting you eat food.
Agree With Dude
Even if you don’t want to come straight out and admit it (it’s really nobody’s business) because you’re an action star/romantic lead and fear it could hurt your career, the vehement denial (Cruise’s full-page ad in the NY Times, threatened lawsuits, etc.) is ridiculous and just feeds into the type of mindset that is attacking their persona in the first place. It’s called acting for a reason. Coming out certainly hasn’t affected Doogie Howser’s ability to play the ultimate lady killer on TV, not sure why it would ruin, at this advanced stage of their careers, the Cruises/Travoltas of the world either.
Brett was cruisin’
He got in some Penn Valley Park trouble back in the day.
I understand where you are coming from
Jim, it is nobody’s business but your own. Your sexuality is your private business along with the people you share that sexuality with.
I like my privacy, that is why I would never pursue a career that could potentially produce fame but that’s just me.
I guess I have a problem with the phony couch jumping, fake marriages, weird shit that you hear about in the gossip columns and denial about what everybody pretty much takes as fact- he is a total flamer. The problem comes with the fact that with his job as an actor he is in the public eye 24/7 and everything he does and says will be scrutinized under a microscope. Is it fair? Is life fair?
Nobody held a gun to his head and told him he had to act in Hollywood to make a living. He could have been a drama teacher at some podunk high school or community college or worked at Walmart and nobody would give a shit if he was ghey or a martian.
He chose to pursue a very public lifestyle so the kangaroo court of public judgment will always be in session. Just be honest and people probably won’t give two shits less.
Verdict: closet flamer.
Cruise Control
It ain’t Hollywood keeping the secrets, it’s those pricks at Scientology, who for a decent tithe, wash away traces of all your sins or indiscretions….and maybe even the people talking about or reporting on them too. Fuckers make the KGB look like Cub Scouts. I could care less about a persons sexuality but you have to admit it is a bit “overwhelming” for the average Joe to watch a guy ramming his schwantz up some other guys poop chute. Lesbo sex is more passionate and sensual. Homo sex is kinda violent, particularly those shower and steam room scenes, where the hairy old bears and their weapons of ass destruction torture the first time newbies. No moans of ecstasy there. That’s all PAIN! One gay friend told me anal is just like taking a good firm dump over and over and over again. I’ll stick with Metamucil.
I’m still throwing the P Flag at Eric Hosmer. I have world class gaydar and he sets it off every time I see him. Big deal if he is. It’s who you are. Own it and live it. No shame in the game if your love and affection are true. It’s a shame so many people are frightened about coming out for fear of rejection from friends and family. Fuck that! Jesus loves you and so do most of us asshole commenters. I said it. I meant it. I’m here to represent it.
And Craig, why the need to confirm your hetro-ness with such authority? Play your gay card the right way and you can have legit chicks, not bimbos, sluts, skanks and whores lined up in an attempt to convert you.
Brett?
I thought it was Clint Hurdle.
smartman, the hubbard’s
tape all the “confessions of past regressions” reportedly and put them under lock and key and threaten to use them against you if you ever happen to break away from the cult and want to badmouth them after the fact.
GLAZER HIT A GRAND “SLAM”
Love this story. Could get 200 comments. Nothing like sex to get people riled up.
Smartman thinks Hosemer has a big louisville slugger.
People think hearne is gay. No way. He likes the very pretty girl in pictures. Nice.
“most ladies will check out the bi-world”/”no women haven’t”. I want their phone numbers!
Brett gay you say? Tom “too small” Cruise? who’s next? Fred Broski who bowls for dollars?
Shawnee mission East haven for gays? OMG! Once called hippie high/hanuka high/now homo high?
Nick the prick gay?
S M East PTA will love this story. I feel sorry for nephew Jake! HOPEFULLY there’s no backlash for comments.
Great story! Heard tonight in PV and Mission Hills homes: TOMMY WE NEED TO TALK!
Not Enough Comments
Hot topic Glazer. Guess people don’t want to weigh in on being gay or not. Even liking the idea or hating on it.
Come on, Realist… add some (………)
and you’ll be right back IN IT!!
Nice job of hitting the return key more often though…
