Michelle Rodriguez says she's normal

Michelle Rodriguez says she's normal — not normal as it's defined in the real world, mind you. She's Hollywood-normal.

The Lost star was recently captured on video by paparazzi as she was leaving the L.A. celebspot Teddy's. The "reporters" followed her and her silent, butchy sidekick to their car, asking burning questions such as what she was drinking that night. Answer: "Water, tonic water, orange juice, ya know, all that good stuff that comes naturally out of the ground." So that's where orange juice comes from.


(TMZ)

Turning the corner with strobing camera flashes lighting her way, she then joked, "I'm down with the Save Paris Foundation." A diligent reporter asked for clarification, "Free Paris or save Paris?" Michelle answered, "Whatever." Heh.

"All the Hollywood cats are locked up or in rehab," smirked the star of the upcoming film Battle in Seattle, concluding, "I'm normal." And when she says "normal," she's not referring to being a law-abiding citizen who's free to get lost in a parking garage, as she does in the video. She means she feels vindicated — at least that's what it sounds like in a message she recently wrote to her fans.

In that message, she also claims being capriciously outed by Curve was uncool because of the potential damage that kind of loose talk could do to her career. Apparently, having assault charges and multiple DUIs is okay, as long as she has other celebrities to keep her company.

Michelle also takes Curve to task for some insufficient fact-checking: "By the way, I only got kicked out of five schools, not six." I love this chick.

Anywho. Back to the 'razzi video. At the end, Michelle says, "I'm just gonna shut up now ... w w [sic] dot zip it dot com." Too late.

    OMG!

    That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

    Maybe it can be a Surprise Coming Out Normal party? People can throw dirty citrus like confetti.

    Terri Clark; Is she lez, bi or confused

    She has been married to two straight men and twice divorced.

    Can anyone confirm any lesbian encounter with T.C.?  If so please talk.

    In my wildest fantacy I would like to see Terri Clark hooking up with Lucy Lawless.

    I'm a straight guy . . .

    . . . with an open heart.  My ex wife professed to me that she is a lesbian.  We have a son that has proclaimed that he is gay.  I can't hate my son nor my ex-wife.  No matter what anyone says, I still love and respect my son and my ex-wife.

    I let my ex go so that she could fullfill her life   My son has a life with his own ambitions.

    What I don't understand is the undisplined, incestous urges that we as human beings have for sexual attraction for each other.  From what I understand, it all starts in the womb. 

    I respect all people.  I don't want to come off as ignorant.  Lesbians and Bi sexual women intregue me.  I'm a handsoff but on myself voyueur that is fanisianted by the female to female attraction.

    SORRY FOR RANTING.

    Terri Clark

    Go to YouTube or CMT and check out her video for Dirty Girl. There's a ping on the gaydar, but then I'm known for wishful thinking!

    Terri Clark

    I've heard some fairly credible gossip that supports your gaydar ping. But that may still be wishful thinking on my part.

    ?

    Where is this video?

    I went to TMZ and didnt even find it.

    orange juice

    I love her! She is so normal. I mean any other artist wouldnt go out without make up if there's paparazzis waiting for you!

    I don't drink orange juice but now that i know where it came from... i'm willing to taste some!

    Terri Clark Rocks My World!!!!

    I know this is a thread for Michelle Rodriquez,  but since someone else already brought it up I have to admit to having a HUGE crush on TC. She sets my gaydar off big time, but I doubt we will ever know for sure....and thats OK!

    She Must be..

    I wish she would just hurry up and be out with it.. I don't know what she's afraid of... most people assume she's a lesbian anyway.. I think it would help her career not hinder it..she's gorgeous

    i want oranges now

    and a party. if that's normal behaviour for someone who is in hollywood, then my behaviour is normal for a lesbian. is that the point?  

    And you bleed just to know you're alive.

    And all the hollywood cats are locked up or in rehab...

    OMG I love it!  Hollywood's version of normality versuses coming out is abnormal.  So Abnormal is in and being locked up, in rehab or sleeping in the closet is normal?

      Well smells like Queer spirit to me ...

    Turn the page,

    There's a lot of cute country female singers that are hot  like TC, dont laugh but I think Mary Chapin Carpenter is cute...Yet i dont listen to country.

    jrjones's picture

    Mary Chapin Carpenter?

    I would never laugh at anyone for liking her, she's one of the best songwriters in the business. I had a crush on her for a while, but then I discovered Terri and she's the only country girl for me. I don't particularly like country music, either, but there are a lot of hot girls in that business. What makes TC different, for me, is that she's gay-hot ... if there is such a thing.

    Got to love

    The Dr Evil quote, makes her seem so normal, after all, who hasn't used a few of those after watching Austin Powers :P

     Heres another quote that I remembered while reading her comments about water and OJ.

    From Ab Fab:

    Patsy: 'Water?'

    Eddy: 'Its a mixer darling, you have it with vodka'

    Not wishing to sound harsh...

    But she seems a little dumb. I read her desperate plea for people to believe she's straight message to her fans and was shocked by not only the content but the horrid use of capitalization and some odd spelling mistakes. I love how concerned she is that people will not access her "work" because of these rumours. Don't worry Michelle, there will always be kids stupid enough to sit through "Bloodrayne 2".

    Hmmm...

    I gotta say, I'm not as into Ms. Rodriguez as others are. The lady doth protest too much. But whatever, her life is her life.

    As for her work, it's been a little crappy as of late, so I don't think it's the lesbian rumors that are doing her harm.  My vote goes for not reading the script until after she said yes and chashed the check.

    Huh...

     Assuming that this  photo was taken on the same night, the "silent, butchy sidekick" you're referring to is Otep Shamaya, lead singer of the metal band Otep.

    Just a heads up, in case anyone was curious. =] 

    PS - The photo was taken from a swedish gossip site if memory serves, and I believe the translation for the blurb next to it is something to the effect of: "LOST star Michelle Rodriguez (was seen at/went to?) Teddy's night club in Los Angeles with a tattooed woman."

     edit// I forgot to throw in the fact that Shamaya is also an out lesbian. Actually, she was interviewed by AfterEllen a few years back. You can read the interview here.

    Love her, hate her...

    I can't decide.  Things seemed to be going so well with Girlfight, and then a series of bad movies followed.  But you gotta love her audacity to call herself 'normal' when she's had how many DUIs?

    I too wish she would just come out already... and that the rumors about her and Kristanna Loken hooking up in Transylvania would be confirmed.  She's cocky and I think I like her for that very reason.

    a waste of talent

    an over inflated sense of self is not normal, nor is trying to deceive - oneself or others.

    hers was a promising career that spiraled into the depths of alcohol and self-loathing. now, she simply tries to stay afloat with bad choices while doing anything she can to remain in the public eye by any means necessary.

    why do you think these young actors continue to haunt the clubs and bars they know the paparazzi stalks? any publicity is good publicity - they start to worry when they aren't being talked about.
