It is a headline that's been generating a slew of hits for cinematical.com - Ryan Phillippe is gay. We wish - in fact he PLAYED a gay in his first professional acting job - and very convincing he is too.
"From 1992-1993, there was a character on One Life to Live called Billy Douglas. He was a young, blonde kid who also happened to be gay," reports cinematical.com.
What is his dad wearing??
Kooky Japanese fictional icon Hello Kitty has her face plastered across the latest marketing wheeze from her corporate owners - a vibrator.
This "ultimate treat for grown-up girls" is available from www.LoveHoney.co.uk.
“The Hello Kitty Vibrator was originally released 10 years ago as a
shoulder massager, but women soon found another use for it,” says
LoveHoney.co.uk’s head buyer Bonny Hall.
“The vibrators were withdrawn
from sale several years ago and became something of an urban myth and
very sought-after. We’ve managed to track them down so Kitty’s UK fans
can now have the pleasure of adding the ultimate girlie accessory to
their Hello Kitty collections.”
Lordy. Who's next?
The Bart Simpson Ben Wa Balls?
By now, everyone’s heard the story of the latest Miss Puerto Rico, Ingrid Marie Rivera, crowned on Saturday after overcoming a bomb scare, theft and an unfortunate encounter with pepper spray.
Well, the 24-year-old beauty queen is back in the headlines today, but the news isn’t focused on her heroism like it was before.
An article posted to People.com earlier today suggests police are investigating whether the clothes and make-up of Rivera, who is scheduled to be interviewed on Wednesday's Today show, were, in fact, spiked with pepper spray.
Early news reports about the Miss Puerto Rico competition suggested one of Rivera’s competitors spiked her clothes and make-up with pepper spray, prompting her to ice her face and body to prevent swelling between events.
She also had to deal with the theft of some of her bags, which contained clothing and credit cards, and a bomb threat that forced the cancellation of some preliminary events.
"It was a lot of sacrifice, and my tears were genuine," Rivera told reporters over the weekend. "At one point, I asked, 'Am I a masochist?' But I said regardless of the results, this is my goal. The more rocks there are in my path, the more thanks I will give to God for sustaining me."
Pageant and police officials vowed to get to the bottom of the attempted sabotage, with Magali Febles, director of the Miss Puerto Rico Universe Pageant, telling Reuters, "I am going to investigate this until the final consequences. When we have everything, I will announce who the person is because someone with these instincts is capable of anything."

Actress Cate Blanchett is officially the coolest straight person.
The Australian star won the hearts of the editors' at leading gay magazine The
Advocate to come top of their Coolest Straight People 2007
list.
Other contenders included rapper Common, journalist Arianna Huffington and environmentalist Phillippe Cousteau.
38-year-old Blanchett,
who was delighted by the news, said: "I heard I was going to be the
coolest straight person. How kind. There's a lot of us to choose from."
Modest as well as cool.
What is it with these girls all wanting to sleep with some girl or another?
The latest is 18 year old Heroes star Hayden Panettiere. According to American GQ, she wants to sleep with Angelina Jolie.
"Well, if you want to make me a lesbian, that's totally fine with me. That would be a pretty funny rumour. I'd love to have a love affair with Angelina,” she said.
Panettiere, who is 14 years junior of Mrs Pitt, also claimed, "and there are other beautiful girls I like too - Charlize Theron, oh my God! Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous too, and Jessica Alba.”
We have enough problem dealing with working out if someone is a heterosexual in the first place without all these “I'm not gay but..” people coming into the picture.
“I'm a Celebrity, Give Me Attention” contestant Gemma Atkinson has revealed her role in a “sexy” lesbian romp...for a film she is taking part in.
The 22-year-old former Hollyoaks actress did say however that it took a few shots of vodka before she felt full prepared for the scene in London based movie Boogie Woogie.
"I had to do a scene
with Jaime Winstone. A full-on lesbian scene.” She told her fellow
jungle enthusiasts.
"I
was more... well not relaxed ....but more comfortable doing it with
Jaime because she's straight."
Panto dame Christopher Biggins asked her if she had to strip naked to which she said,"I asked to keep my bottoms on and the director let me - so that was cool. When it came to the kissing, he [the director] basically said: 'I just want you to go for it because the more you do it the more happy it's going to be”
Shocker
that. A straight man asking her to “go for it” with another
woman. The director will soon say that he picked her for acting
ability.
Oh we are cruel. Only joking Gemma, we are sure you are a
great actress and its got nothing to do with your huge bristols.
Check out her website - its hilarious!

Former Hollyoaks actor turned reality TV personality (what is it with them today?) Paul Danan has been sacked from a pantomime he was due to play in after his appearance turning on the Christmas lights in Preston went down for all the wrong reasons.
While the ceremony was taking place he swore several times down the microphone at the audience. Well isn't that lovely?
To be honest, what were the bosses behind the switch on thinking? That he would maybe read a nice Shakespeare Sonnet or quote something from a Christmas Carol? This is someone who had sex on live television and told every girl that he met that he loved.
Ken Hudson, the leader of Preston council called the outburst “a disgrace”, and rightly so. The whole council should be sacked for thinking that hiring the Z List celeb would ever be a good idea.
Rumours around Tom Cruise's sexuality are as old as the Spice Girls (and they are o-ld), but apparently it has finally been confirmed that it is, in fact, not true.
A private detective who has been following the star for the past six years told Contactmusic.com: "Everything I've found, and everything I know, points to Tom being heterosexual.”
Paul Baressi, a porn star turned detective (could that be any more Hollywood?), said that he could not find one shred of evidence to support the claim that he is leading a secret gay life.
Barresi has now handed over his research to British author Andrew Morton, who has been collecting information for a new book he is writing exposing the life of the Top Gun star.
It will surely make fascinating reading, “Tom is a bit of a wierdo who believes in aliens. The End”
Loads of muscular, topless men, on an island, who are all having sex with each other, tends to indicate porn, no?
Well not always. Dante's Cove (no really, not porn), is what critics have been calling “Queer as folk meets Buffy.”
Set in a world of demons and monsters, but to a backdrop of a beautiful remote island, Dante's Cove looks set to be one of those cult gay TV shows along the lines of Dallas or the Golden Girls. Only with hotter guys and bitchier cat fights.
The show follows the story of Kevin, who leaves an abusive household to follow his boyfriend Toby to the remote island.
It's only after arriving and checking into the Hotel Dante that strange and mysterious things begin to happen, and they end up releasing a spirit locked in the hotel for 150 years.
Although the plot sounds thinner than Kate Moss, it has gained a cult status in the US with lesbian website afterellen.com saying its, "campy, gothic, mysterious, homoerotic, and a bit silly."
It also does have some seriously hot cast, including the former Dark Angel actor William Gregory Lee as the evil Ambrosius. Well, hot if you like that sort of thing.
So
if you like soft core porn and don't have access to the internet,
give it a look when the DVD is released in January 2008.
Australian pop/rock princess Missy Higgins has told a lesbian magazine that she would define herself as “not so straight.”
The 24-year-old was speaking to Cherrie magazine, not to be confused with Cherie magazine, the publication all about Mrs Blair.
Ms Higgins said that she thought of sexuality as a “fluid thing.”
“Its become increasingly more acceptable to admit that you're that way. I don't think it's necessary to define yourself by any label.
“If you're comfortable with who you are and you know who you are on the inside, people will love you for it.” How cute.
In another interview she said that her single Ten Days was written for her ex boyfriend when she was backpacking round Europe.
Apparently, she doesn't use male
or female pronouns to describe her partners during gigs. How Will
Young.
So Simon Cowell has admitted it. He isn't gay. Though he has had Botox.
The pantomime baddie from X-Factor today told the Daily Mail: “If I was, why hide it? It's not as if the music business would be an odd place for a gay man to work.”
Still, there is hope for everyone who loves the domineering music mogul, he refuses to have kids and settle down just yet.
“I love kids - at least they are old enough to talk,” he said.
“But my own? No. I'm terrified of the responsibility. Where would they fit in? I have to be able to fly to Los Angeles at a minute's notice.”
We're sure his long term girlfriend Terri Seymour is absolutely overjoyed at that.
His not being gay is no bad thing really. Do we really want another self-righteous, bitchy, orange idiot to add to the population of gay men of the United Kingdom? Didn't think so.
Hottie actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested yesterday after being refused permission to get on board a flight in Dublin.
The Tudors star was apparently engaged in a clash with airport employees after being told he was unfit to travel.
JMR was later released from jail after paying a cash bail and will appear in an Irish court next month. He was in town promoting his new film August Rush and had appeared on the TV show Turbidy Tonight hours before his arrest.
Rhys Meyers attended rehab earlier this year for alcohol addiction. It seems everyone is doing it these days.
Britney, Amy, Pete. Maybe rehab shouldn't stand for rehabilitation any more. Maybe it should stand for re-habitual offender, as it seems one time just isn't enough for these celebrities anymore.

"Roly-poly" gay comedian Christopher Biggins is taking part in pleb TV fest "I'm A Celebrity ...." which as usual features a string of people no-one has ever heard of.
Anyway, the comic, who has in the past told the Daily Mail that civil partnerships make a mockery of marriage, has spoken to the Daily Star about his pants. Delightful.
"The first thing I ever do when I come home is take my trousers off," he told the paper, who are covering Celebrity as if it were the world's biggest news story and not the sad, discredited, cruel freak show that it is.
"I loathe trousers. I think there's no point," he continues.
"I often answer the front door to postmen and people delivering things and there's a sort of look in their eye as they're confronted by this large man in a pink pair of boxer shorts.
"I'll probably do that in the jungle. I have absolutely no problem with my body.
"If that's the way I feel that particular day, I'll do that. And I couldn't sleep in clothes. I'll have to take them off and have them airing somewhere. I couldn't bear to wear all my stuff."
"The outrageous star was thoroughly miffed that he could take only three pairs of undies into the jungle.
"Since he insists on a clean pair every day, he will be busy washing all the time."
Er, is there any sane, respectable person who DOESN'T change their pants every day?
Exhibitionist boyband McFly have been explaining why two of their number atttempted to set fire to their pubic hair while on stage at G-A-Y a couple of weeks back.
It seems promoter Jeremy Joseph had a lot to do with it.
"It was bonfire night and Danny and Dougie had cod-pieces with fireworks attached but were told they weren't allowed use them onstage without the proper pyrotechnics licence," lead vocalist Tom Fletcher told the Daily Record.
"So, instead, they improvised with lighters down below. It could have ended in tears but, thankfully, their lower regions are intact.
"At G-A-Y you don't go onstage until two in the morning and Jeremy, who runs it, had plied us with drink in the dressing room beforehand, which might have had something to do with it.
"Our gay following has been rising over the years and we have done covers of magazines ike Attitude. We had a great time playing at G-A-Y. It is a completely different crowd and really good fun."
Last year McFly stripped naked on stage while performing at the twink-tastic central London club.

A survey of 654 UK adults has confirmed what we always knew. Bubble-permed homophobe and professional bell end Jeremy Clarkson makes women sick.
"A third of women
said they would actually be physically repulsed by a man they saw reading 'The
World According To Clarkson' in public," according to the survey by a book swapping website.
Celebrity autobiographies such as 'Being Jordan' or 'Beckham: My World' are multi-million pound bestsellers, but read them in public at your peril, warns Britain's largest book exchange website, Readitswapit.co.uk.
A survey by the website reveals that the majority of Brits change their perceptions about people they see reading these books in public places.
Two out of three Brits surveyed said they would
perceive someone who read Jordan's and Beckham's biographies in public as
'unattractive'.
Readitswapit.co.uk co-founder Andrew Bathgate said: "Jordan and Beckham are two of the most image-conscious celebrities on the planet – so it's ironic that if you read their autobiographies in public, your own image will suffer."
Overall, 97% said that, if they were single, their perceptions about a member of the opposite sex could be affected by the types of books they saw that person reading in public.
So what to read to impress the Tube commuters and increase your chances of pulling? Wuthering Heights and War and Peace apparently. No look in for Harry Potter, then.
OK, we are not quite sure what is going on here, but thanks to gaywired.com for bringing it to our attention.
A calendar of tasty Roman Catholic priests is on sale in Italy.
On the website the following explanation is given for its existence:
"It contains generical (sic) information about the Vaticano State."
Weird. All yours for ten euros, or you could opt for the Gondoliers calendar instead.
Oh, and they are looking for model priests for 2009. Bless.
People magazine has named a self-proclaimed “aging suburban dad” its latest “sexiest man alive.”
Who does that describe, you ask? None other than Matt Damon, the 37-year-old actor, husband (to Luciana Bozan) and father (of 1-year-old Isabella).
"You gave an aging suburban dad the ego boost of a lifetime," Damon says in a letter published in the annual issue, which hits newsstands on Friday. "My 9-year-old stepdaughter now thinks I'm cool—well, cooler."
Damon has displayed his sexiness in quite a few roles over the years, including Good Will Hunting (for which he won a screenwriting Academy Award in 1998), The Departed, Syriana, the Ocean's franchise and The Bourne Identity and its two sequels.
Joining Damon on People’s list this year: Ben Affleck, Dave Annable, Javier Bardem, Patrick Dempsey, Johnny Depp, Adrian Grenier, Will Yun Lee, Shemar Moore, James McAvoy, Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds, Will Smith and Justin Timberlake.
The magazine first compiled its "sexiest man alive" list in 1985 with Mel Gibson earning the top honor. Other actors who have made the cut: George Clooney (1997 and 2006), Pitt (1995 and 2000), Denzel Washington (1996) and Depp (2003).

Well not a war really, move of a story in The Sun about the Spice Girls.
It seems the poster boy for Britain's stoners had promised Geri Halliwell he would write a song for the newly-reformed Spice Girls World Money Tour.
But he has not got round to it yet - and Ginger Spice is vexed. She even went so far as to write a song of her very own:
"George was more than happy to write a song. But Geri was frustrated how long he was taking to finish it," reports The Bun.
"She wrote 'Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)' with Emma instead and George was furious. He has been fed up with Geri's 'me, me, me' attitude.
"She is still really good pals with his boyfriend Kenny Goss who's been acting as a go-between in their battle."
For a deeper understanding of the Geri/George dynamic, please watch this short documentary clip:
Ellen Degeneres' girlfriend, actress Portia De Rossi, has revealed that she wasn't having the time of her life making out with Joely Richardson on the set of plastic surgery-themed TV show Nip/Tuck
The openly gay star said:
"I hate gratuitous sex scenes. I’m a prude, I really am. I related to Joely’s character so much more than my own.
"She was having a really hard time with her sexuality, and it was difficult for her to tell people she was gay. To hear her struggle like that was very emotional for me."
Meanwhile 42-year-old British actress Joely enjoyed the whole thing:
"I have no problems kissing women," she said.
"It’s not the first time I have done lesbian scenes. I have heard Ellen was jealous. She has been on set. She is great and Portia is lovely. Please don’t think there is anything going on between us."
A new site has hit the web:
The tagline for the site is: “Lesbian Gamers.com - because sometimes we use our hands for other things.”
A spokeswoman for the site told us:
“There was no strictly lesbian gaming site online with such directness as lesbiangamers.com and we think it's going to be a huge success.
“It'll
also welcome contributions from lesbian gamers and hopes to encourage
discussion and friendship within our community. It's really important
for us as lesbian gamers to have somewhere safe and fun to hang out.”
The
site home page says: “If you're a lesbian gamer, or indeed interested
in lesbian gamers (tut tut) you'll find all your video gaming news,
with a little touch of dyke right here.
"If you're a grrl who loves
video games, whilst also loving the ladies, you've just found the right
place on the net.”
Does a day go by that doesn’t feature some sort of news about the former Mrs. Kevin Federline, Britney Spears? Apparently not. On Friday, celeb gossip site TMZ.com
reported that Spears ignored a red traffic light and drove through a
notoriously dangerous intersection in L.A. while her two sons were
sleeping in the back seat. A video accompanying the story
shows the 25-year-old pop star holding her phone in front of her,
apparently text-messaging, while paparazzi yell and oncoming drivers
honk at her in the background. According to reports from TMZ
and other outlets, ex-husband Kevin Federline’s lawyers plan to use the
video clip during an upcoming court appearance related to the couples’
ongoing custody battle. Along the same lines, TMZ reported
earlier today that Spears failed one of her court-ordered drug tests,
though a source close to the singer suggested the result was flawed.

Lily Allen has revealed her first crush was on Boyzone's Stephen Gately.
The
22-year-old pop star told The Observer she had pix of the Irish boy band member on her wall but added "he wasn't gay at
the time".
No, no of course he wasn’t.
Lily added: “I had a
poster of him in my room when I was younger. Then I grew up, took all
my posters down and now I'm grown-up I collect 'art'.
“I still think he's quite cute though.”

An Australian football fan's tattoo tribute to his team didn’t turn out quite the way he planned after the tattooist got the words 'day' and 'gay' mixed up.
Geelong Cats supporter Neville wanted a permanent reminder of the team's AFL triumph and decided to get a tattoo while on a celebratory trip to Thailand.
He had asked for “Day Premiers 2007” to be written on his arm but instead the Thai tattooist etched the words “Gay Premiers 2007” on to his arm.
His instructions for each arm were also taken literally as he now has "left arm" and "right arm" tattooed on the appropriate limb.
Neville told 3AW radio: “I couldn't believe it. When I first walked in he showed me the picture of the thing, and I just looked at a picture and didn't really take notice of the words.
“My son-in-law walked in halfway through it ... and told me what happened, and I thought 'you're joking!
“Once they'd written right arm, I told them you might as well have left arm on the other one – and make it a bit fun.”

Apparently, Benicio Del Toro is more than a great actor—he’s a great friend, too. According to the New York Post,
the Academy Award-winning auteur made a surprise appearance at a at a
methamphetamine addiction group counseling session last Friday at the
Gay Men's Health Crisis Centre in New York City. He wasn’t there for himself—he was there for someone he befriended while filming Things We Lost in the Fire, in which the actor played the role of a drug abuser. Sources told the New York Post
that Del Toro introduced himself by telling the group, "Hi, my name is
Benicio. I am not an addict, and I am not gay. I am here to support my
friend."

London's best known drag act has been hanging out with the A List - Kate Moss to be exact!
The pair spent time together at Claridges in London, while removal men cleared Moss'
London home of her possessions - she is moving house.
The Daily Mail carried a lovely series of photos of Kate's mattresses, some of which are stained like the nosy net curtain-twitching plebs they are.
They also provided some information on Harsh:
"Club kid Harsh, who is originally from the cathedral city of
Canterbury, runs two popular London club nights, Foreign, and Circus,
and is part of a DJing duo with Kate Moss' ex, and father of her
daughter Lila Grace, Jefferson Hack."
So there.
There were rumours David Beckham would appear as a gay character on Desperate Housewives, which were quickly dispelled. Now, former girl bander Kerry Katona
is writing a semi autobiographical book which includes a gay character
who is Beckham-esque and who she says has a “real bitch of a wife”. Katona
was part of the marginally successful British girl band Atomic Kitten,
but was forced to leave the group after she became pregnant. She then
went on to become a high profiled troubled celebrity a la Britney Spears and starred in I’m a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here! After
more public scandal, including refusing drug tests for the safety of
her children, Katona now works as a columnist for the popular OK!
Magazine. While this second
book is supposed to be fictional, Katona claims that there are
similarities between the characters and her real life. In a her
column, she made reference to the former Spice Girl and current wife of
David Beckham stating, “Sometimes I find it very hard to understand Victoria Beckham. Her walking out of the Ritz Hotel in Paris was so sad and desperate.” The quote was in response to Victoria’s appearance at the Hotel in Paris where Princess Diana
was seen leaving moments before her tragic death. Her new book has a gay character that many believe is based on the world famous footballer, but Katona explained to Now magazine: "I love the Beckhams, so I would never do that!"
Last year, she published her autobiography about growing up a
celebrity, Too Much, Too Young.
Katona claimed that
Posh was deliberately dressed like Princess Di on the day of her death
to grab the paparazzi’s attention.

Stonewall chief executive Ben Summerskill had a unique take on the Royal scandal at the Stonewall Awards last night:
"It's an age old truth that some things never change and I was reminded of that by all this week's newspapers, with stories about a member of the Royal Family having gay sex and taking cocaine. The Daily Mail described this as unprecedented," he said.
"Those of us with long memories recall that it was just 70 years ago that it was widely reported that the late Duke of Kent, in a dressing room at the Wyndham theatre, had taken both cocaine and Sir Noel Coward!
"In the days I was a journalist it was explained to me by a member of the Royal Household that the only reason for this regrettable lapse was that the late Duke had been very much in love with society beauty Baba Curzon, but sadly she had run off with the great war hero Group Captain Fruity Metcalfe.
"Sadly of course, most of us cannot explain our sexual orientations in such an uncomplicated way."
