Gay character to exit Desperate Housewives

Desperate Housewives star Shawn Pyfrom, who plays Bree's gay son Andrew on the show, has announced he is leaving to pursue other interests.

The actor has however said that he may appear as an occasional guest star throughout the upcoming sixth season.

Andrew's character has not been as prominent in recent seasons after the he was outed in a swimming pool romp with then-boyfriend Justin (played by Ryan Carnes).

He was then featured often in the show as he and his Republican mother battled out their differences, with show creator Marc Cherry describing Andrew as a  “narcissistic sociopath” in an interview with USA Today as his war with Bree took several strange turns.

However, since mother and son's reconcilliation the character has been pushed to the background as the show focused on other characters.

The shows most recent season took advantage of a five-year “flash-forward” and the nationwide same-sex marriage debate with Andrew becoming engaged, and Bree, having finally accepted her son, offering to plan the wedding.

Andrew’s departure from Desperate Housewives doesn’t completely strip Wisteria Lane of gay characters. Lee McDermott (Kevin Rahm) and Bob Hunter (Tuc Watkins) remain in the show as a gay couple living on the lane.

Homer Simpson's lesbian fantasies exposed

Blue-haired matriarch Marge will be shown kissing another woman in Sunday's episode of The Simpsons!

In the episode, titled How The Test Was Won, Homer looks on as the pair lock lips.

However, female viewers with a penchant for Marge's husky voice and shapely figure may be disappointed to learn that the embrace turns out to be a figment of Homer's imagination.

Homer's life insurance runs out but after panicking about imaginary disasters, his thoughts turn to lesbian fantasies.

In 2005, it was revealed that Marge's older sister Patty is a closet lesbian.

She was briefly engaged to a female golf player called Veronica, who later turned out to be a man who disguised himself to get on the Ladies Professional Golfing Association tour

Son of famous footballer claims he turns women lesbian

Calum Best has reportedly claimed he is responsible for Lindsay Lohan's lesbian relationship.

"I turned her. I was that bad," he said.

LiLo had a brief thing with the blond reality TV star and is now in a relationship with DJ Sam Ronson, a lady.

Even chick magazines are unimpressed by this latest outburst from the son of football legend George Best and reality TV addict.

"Didn’t one of McFly turn her? Anyway, he seems bizarrely proud, so pat on the back for Calum, and we’ll see you next time you want your name in the papers," commented More.

We don't think people can be turned gay, though now that we are talking about McFly, that lil cutie Dougie always lights up our day at Pink Towers ...

Soap star thought Ronaldo was gay

A Colombian starlet was not interested in soccer hottie Cristiano Ronaldo when their eyes met across a crowded LA pool.

Soap actress Elisa Sanchez told The Sun:

"He was really red, like he had been laying out in the sun too long, and kept putting oil on himself all the time.

"He was wearing these tiny little swimming pants. The way he was preening himself was hilarious.

"I had absolutely no idea who he was — and we were all convinced he was gay.

"He winked at me and tried to chat me up but I don’t speak English well. So I just said 'Sorry' and walked away."

It is a problem metrosexuals such as Cristiano face even in LA, it seems.

Gay rumours are "hilarious" says twink actor

Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick

First it was Chace Crawford's people being all like "he is not a gay honest" - his publicist issued a statement in June saying the Gossip Girl hottie is "100 percent straight."

Now his co-star and room mate Ed Westwick has got in on the action.

"People think Chace is gay, and thought I was gay, that we were humping," he told Page Six magazine.

"It’s not true, but hilarious. People project their fantasies onto people."

Ed also took time to explain his technique when it comes to the ladies.

"I’ve never been someone who makes it my objective to go out and pick up chicks," he said.

"But I’ve met some fantastic ladies here.

"You know, those amazing conversations where you find yourself in a cafe talking until 2am and never see them again."

Quite.

Friends actress diagnosed with breast cancer

Emmy nominated Samantha Who? star Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer, her publicist Ame Van Idin confirmed in a statement on Saturday.

 

"Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time."

 

Emmy and Golden Globe nominated for ABC’s run-away hit Samantha Who?, about a young business woman who comes out of an eight-day coma with complete amnesia about her past, 36-year-old Applegate won an Emmy in 2003 for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for playing Jennifer Anniston’s character Rachel Green’s self-involved younger sister Amy on Friends.

 

Samantha Who? marks Applegate’s full-time return to television since her iconic role as the flaky Kelly Bundy on the Fox’s Married with Children, which ran for 11 seasons beginning in 1988.

 

A spokeswoman for Lee National Denim Day, a national fundraiser to benefit breast cancer programmes, Applegate took up the cause after her mother, a breast cancer survivor, beat the disease.

 

The actress is slated to appear at Stand Up To Cancer, a one-hour television special to be aired on ABC, CBS and NBC on Sept. 5 to raise funds for cancer research.

 

Applegate faced tragedy earlier this summer when her boyfriend Lee Grivas died of a drug overdose in early July.

Corrie twink not gay, just likes clothes

Jack P Shepherd, the 20-year-old actor who plays Coronation St bad boy David Platt, has revealed that despite having a pregnant girlfriend, them gays are having trouble accepting that he is tragically straight.

"A lot of people actually assume I’m gay because I’m quite thin and into my clothes.

"I’ve had a lot of that sort of attention from blokes," he told NEW magazine.

"I suppose it's quite flattering. If someone fancies you it's not a bad thing, is it?"

Earlier this month it was revealed that Jack's lady, Lauren Shippey, is with child. They have been together since they were 14.

Jack plays David, the son of Martin and Gail Platt.

Hold on, wasn't the boy Rickitt one of those Platts as well? He is also very clearly a heterosexual,  but gets lots of gay attention.

Weird.

(Photo credit: BBC Pictures)
A snog between Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and Gavin and Stacey star James Corden (that we can only link to  for copyright reasons) at the Whatsonstage awards has been explained by US blogger Michael Jensen on afterelton.com.

Jenson spoke to James Corden at a publicity event for his hit tv show.  Corden said: "If you spent enough time with Dan, you can’t help but kiss him on the mouth. It’s a fact. There’s something magical about him, which is I imagine why he got the part [of Harry Potter], where he just draws you in. There were no tongues involved in that kiss. But, we both enjoyed it very much."

"...I’ve known Dan a while and I came up to him in the wings [of the show] and he said, 'You’re not going to make fun of me or anything, are you?' I said, 'No. I might kiss you on the mouth.' And then he had to go on, so I had given him some pre-warning, yes."

He added: "[Radcliffe is] a wonderful, wonderful kisser, with a beautiful penis."
