Is everyone celeb obsessed? Right? I mean look at the explosion of tabloid mags; Us Weekly, Star, People, Entertainment Weekly, In Touch, Life & Style, InStyle. And that’s just a few. All dedicated to CELEBRITY. The new Holy Grail. And the covers; “Ryan Cheated!”, “Nicole Wasting Away”, “Thin and Bones!” Okay I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly but they always quote me. And Star but they use me as a pundit! And the web-sites! Yeah I love Pop Candy, Daily Candy and A Socialite’s Life. Towleroad and Go Fug Yourself I visit on the hour. Hell I even popped up on Defamer for kissing in public.
In the wake of Neil Patrick‘s outing I must say enough is enough. That’s strange since I took part in a show that is the ultimate voyeuristic thrill. A show that incites so much web-based celebrity/infamy. It seems to some the cast of Big Brother is like Tom, Halle, Lindsay, Nicole and Paris.
Ooh do I get to pick who I am? I’ll be Lindsay…No, Nicole! Yeah! I like that…That’s hot. And Will is Tom. That makes Janelle, Katie. And Mike Boogie? Definitely Paris.
No one deserves to be outed. It just drives people further into the closet (see all the gay republican senators and reverends) and sends a message that being gay is something you need to hide in the 1st place! Question: who didn’t know Doogie was gay? The thing is no one cared until How I Met Your Mother became a hit! I’ve known Neil since 2002. Very nice guy and a Big Brother fanatic! With his role on How I Met he’s proving that an actor is an actor. It doesn’t matter what his sexuality is. If you can act, you can play any part. Neil should be nominated for an Emmy.
And those that “outed” Neil? Mind your own damn business! He’s not a politician, on the DL, legislating hate or an Evangelical minister getting high and tweaking on the weekends, all the while spending his kids lunch money and preaching anything but love and understanding. He’s an actor, simply trying to entertain.
Kinda like a reality star… I’m just saying.
Back on point, I love Ryan and Reese. I hope he didn’t cheat and if he did I hope she can forgive. I want Madonna to adopt mo’ Black babies. And I want them to grow up with British accents. And riding horses and playing football (which is really soccer). I want Brad and Angie to get married. And Angie, lose the tats. I know a Dr who can do that for you cheap. Keith…Clean it up. No one likes a drunk. We know the Aussie like a pint but c’mon! You are married to a Goddess. And Nicole? Jesus H Krikey! Make better choices. Tom turned out to be a whack job. But he did make you famous. Good job!
Here’s my new fave site. Leave Colin Alone. I’m trying to convince them to do a “Leave Marcy Alone” tee… Unless of course you are a hot male between the ages of 24 and 42, 5’7″ to 6’3″, 150 to 210 lbs, any ethnicity, d/d free, gainfully employed, have all your teeth and…
But 5’7″ and 210 lbs? Sorry. That doesn’t work. Unless you are a body builder. Then, that’s hot.
Outing people is just wrong. But I think it is good when people in the public eye can come out (on their own terms), because it gives visibility to gays as a part of society. Too many people in small town America think they don’t know any of us, but when the person who is on the TV in their house every week can be open about it, that’s certainly a move in the right direction. Hopefully one day the term “outing” will just be a memory, because everyone who is gay will grow up in a society that allows them to be who they are even at a young age. There is always hope.
Oh, and ditto on Towleroad!
