2006 OUTING'S

It's that time of the year again where we gaze into our crystal balls and try to figure out who may be the most likely to come out in 2006.

My top chances would be:

1. Lauren Jackson,

Granted I don't know for sure whether she is gay or not but the rumours are very strong about her to the point where her supposed relationship with Sheri Sam is taken for granted by some as being public knowledge.

It's also important to point out that she is close friends with Sheryl Swoopes so perhaps that will inspire LJ to come out in 2006.

2. Kelly Clarkson,

Again we just don't know for sure with her but there is a very good possibility that she is a member of the family.

No, I am not sure if she'll come out or not.
That's more a speculation.
I can't even be sure if she is gay or not, even though the rumors have been for a while.
I don't know her personally eventually.
But a girl can dream. :roll:
[quote:e88e468b83="equality77"][quote:e88e468b83="judeliao"]I'm so hoping that LJ will come out at some point during the season.
It'll be awesome if she mentions Sheri or who ever she's with now in her MVP speech. :wink:

I'm with fee on Jorja Fox as well.
She's my godness! :lol:
And her website is so cute.[/quote:e88e468b83]

Just out of interest do you or anyone else on this board know for sure about LJ as while the rumours have been really strong over the years I have yet to see any confirmation short of her actually coming out.

Just on Mischa. I have no clue as to whether she is or isn't family but I would doubt she is coming out anytime soon if she is.

She is way to into becoming a star to risk it.[/quote:e88e468b83]

I hope to God it will be Jorja Fox, but to be honest... why would she? I mean, if she hasn't said anything yet, why would she suddenly come leaping out of the closet now?

Although. You never know. Politics being what they are... And for some people, coming out can actually [i:aecc13f7fd]help[/i:aecc13f7fd] their careers. They pick up a solid fanbase and there you are, they're set. Come on, Jorja. Hoist the rainbow. The lesbians of the world will love you forever. (Jesus, I kinda want that deal for myself. Never any problem about getting laid ever again.)

Here's some blind item gossip for you;

"Which academy award winning actress(and mom)has become intimate with her female business manager".

Anyone want to make a guess. :D

She might not have said that she's a lesbian on the cover of a magazine or in an interview but she was one of the girls appearing in the cafe scene in "Ellen" (when Ellen and her friends visiting a lesbian cafe for the first time). As Ellen mentioned in "The Real Ellen Story" it was importing to her (Ellen) that every woman in this cafe episode who made a guest appearance/playes a guest had to be a lesbian in real life.

Since then it's out of the question to me that Jorja's gay. :D

I would go with Jodi Foster too.
It can't be Nicole Kidman, she's dating a guy, Keith Urban if i'm not wrong...i easily mess up with names. I saw pictures very recently of her and this guy holding hands and stuff. She's straight.

When Jorja appeared in the cafe scene in the Ellen episode, another lesbian who appeared in that scene was Leisha Hailey (L Word). Tomorrow night Jorja and Leisha appear on the same show again when Leisha makes an appearance on CSI.

2006 OUTING'S

Just on Lauren Jackson, if a new interview that she gave is any indication either the reports of her homosexuality are greatly exaggerated or she is staying firmly in the closet.

Why because she essentially played it totally straight despite talking about how proud she is of Sheryl.

In other words we are just as much in the dark about her orientation as we have ever been.

violetsnvalium's picture

2006 OUTING'S

Hey, I think we have one of our first outings of 2006... it's probably only interesting to hardcore tennis fans, but what the hell, Rennae Stubbs finally came out. For those who haven't heard of her, she's mainly a doubles player and very successful too, she's won Wimbledon a couple of times. She also dragged her ex-doubles partner (and gf, apparently) Lisa Raymond out of the closet along with her, heh heh. Here's a little bit from the article:

[i:210f8f6ecc]Stubbs travels with her girlfriend of two years, a former US professional softballer, having shared a long-term relationship with her former doubles partner, Lisa Raymond.

It has only been relatively recently that Stubbs has fully embraced her sexuality, and she hopes that by speaking openly, it will help teenagers who might be grappling with gay issues.

"I always say to my friends, 'Wouldn't it be great if everybody who was gay said they were? If we said: February 21, or whatever, this is the coming out day. So, if you are, you have to come out to everybody you know'. It would be phenomenal.

"And it would be nice if everybody could just accept that it's not a choice, this is who you are. You would never, ever choose this, choose to be gay. It's such a difficult thing to deal with and coming out to people and talking about it, and coming out to your family.

"But I don't hide who I am any more. Everyone in the tennis world pretty much knows who's gay and who's not; the only reason I would like it spoken about publicly more is that I wish everybody would realise that, 'See all those people you admire? Out of 10 of them, four are gay, and I just want you to know that your child can still idolise them'."[/i:210f8f6ecc]

Bless her heart. You can read the full thing at http://www.theage.com.au/news/tennis/always-ready-for-a-serve/2006/01/06...

Catherine Zeta-Jones - "dazzling" as in CHICAGO. I know, I never would have guessed that, but I think the blind item points me that way....

Yeah, it's actually not surprising that they are friends. Jorja is part of Honeypot Productions with Heather Grody, who was, of course part of the Murmurs with Leisha.

By the way, Leisha is awesome in this ep, though, for some reasons, it's not easy to recognize her.

2006 OUTING'S

Two things,

I guess we can count Kristanna Loken as having come out as bisexual.

As for that academy award winning actress gossip, no from what I can tell checking around the net Hilary does not have a child although I myself was under that assumption as well.

So I guess with that in mind we are back to the likes of Nicole, Gweneth, AJ and CZJ.

Jeez that allison girl sounds a lot like Leisha :roll: (especially since i had JUST watched the L words season 3 premiere), but i thought i was going crazy. Hearing Leisha's voice everywhere, lol. Because you really dont recognize her. Very cool.

That's what I thought too, but I couldn't remember if Cydney is her "business manager" or some other title. :?

equality77's picture

2006 OUTING'S

Here is the list of academy award winning actresses who are also mothers:

Jodie Foster: I seriously doubt it's her unless she and Cydney have split in which case the item would have been witten differently.

Holly Hunter: Not beyond the realm of possibility but I also doubt it.

Helen Hunt: Does she qualify as dazzling?.

Kim Basinger: Actually it could very well be her when you realise the item highlighted the fact that the actress in question is a mother.

Gweneth Paltrow: Unlikely.

Julia Roberts: Well there is a chance as her becoming a mother has been a big story.

Nicole Kidman: Who the hell knows with her.

CZJ: I just doubt it but she is dazzling.

^You could also add Jennifer Connelly and Cate Blanchett to that list. I guess they're talking about someone who've won in the last 5 years or so. CZJ fits cause of the "Razzle Dazzle" in Chicago.

I would love it if it were CZJ not because she might be bi but because I feel she needs a break from Grandpa Douglas. I doubt it's her though. I see her more as the poolboy type than the poolgirl type.

Where did the BI come from?

I'll say this about Jorja, we all know she is gay.

Problem is as I have mentioned previously there are almost no openly gay HOLLYWOOD stars.

So if she was to finally come out she would probably qualify as the most famous actual Hollywood bred actress to have come out.

So here is hoping. :D

It's with regard to the Blind Item. The person who is being speculated about is an Oscar winner and a mum. I still think it's Jodie, anyone else is a little unbelievable. Unless of course, they just make these BI's up... :wink: :twisted:
