This former B list mostly movie actress turned host has started coming out to her family. Apparently she had a fling with a female producer on the set of her latest documentary and they have been inseparable.
So who does documentaries? Sounds like she's made more than one. Keke Palmer just started doing Cinderella on B'way too. First AA actress to play Cinderella.
@CoBe Thank you. I'm amazed that people come to a gossip site and are shocked to find--gasp!!--gossip.
Worse still are the folks who find gossip fine as long as it's not gay related. It's pretty funny to see people become suddenly concerned with privacy issues when the topic of homosexuality arises. Those rascally gays should stay in the closet where they belong!
Being gay is one thing but telling your family is another because most parents still have expectations of a traditional marriage with kids. So in one way she is killing their dreams of that. The pressure to tell the family is enormous because they're afraid they are going to get shunned from everyone. .
I think it's a bit of a catch 22 for people to be okay with, for example, reading gossip about an actor cheating on their spouse and knocking some waitress but then not being okay with speculation of one's sexuality. What makes one situation more likely to be shunned by others then the other situation? Both are private, if either scenario were meant to be public knowledge there would be no need for sites such as these
Hope this is FINALLY Queen Latifah. It's just so painful to watch her stay in the closet like this. It sends such a horrible message. I am sure she has a Baptist Mom or Grandma she's trying not to let down, but still. Be yourself Dana!
@whatzmyname is right. it is a gossip site, but gossip is generally salacious. there are no blind items that say, "this actress has not told her family that she has sex with men."
Latifah? She's already got a girlfriend though so idk.

ReplyDeletePerez is married. Would Enty not mention that?
DeleteHe should've@Jack...I not trusting enty these days
DeleteBut she does make/direct documentaries
Both good guesses.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if "former" applies to B list or to actress. Or both.
ReplyDeleteIt's Monday. I need something way better than coffee.
Gonna also throw out Keke Palmer. Idk she just got a new talk show.

ReplyDeleteRicki Lake is making documentaries. IMDB shows she's produced 3.
ReplyDeleteIf they're inseparable, it's not a fling, it's a relationship.
ReplyDeleteLatifah hosts TEACH, a Guggenheim documentary project that supports teachers and education, and for that, she's forever A+ in my heart.
This obsession with homosexuality in Hollyweird is so strangely pearl-clutching, you'd almost think everyone is still in front of the candelabra.
Well said!
DeleteVery true

ReplyDeleteWho cares who is 'coming out of the closet'? Why is this still news? Should I go to a magazine and confess I am straight?!
ReplyDeleteJust to stick up for Enty, it IS a gossip site.
ReplyDeleteIf you notice, there is no gossip about people who don't have secrets.
Whoopi?? Don't know if she is higher than B..

No. It's just that being gay isn't a thing to me. It's not salacious or gossipy. It's no big deal. Next.
