“COMING OUT” REALITY SHOW CANCELED- STARS WOULDN’T COME OUT

Three years ago, celebrity publicist Howard Bragman announced that he was developing a reality show called “Coming Out” and he was looking for closeted celebrities to appear on the show and announce their sexual preference. We thought it was a fascinating but unrealistic idea. One of Howard’s specialties is helping famous people come out gracefully and he had worked with Lance Bass, Chaz Bono, and Dick Sargent. The reality show never came together because no stars wanted to come out! So in spite of the progress gays have achieved, “coming out” is still a courageous and difficult act.

HOWARD BRAGMAN'S BOOK PARTY WAS TABLOID HEAVEN

Hollywood publicist Howard Bragman had an amazing party for his new book “Where’s My Fifteen Minutes?” at the Chateau Marmont Wednesday night. Entourage star Debi Mazar was dressed to kill in a luscious Isabel Toledo frock that Debi said “has to go back in the morning.” Debi never fails to upgrade a soiree with her unique style, but she’s surprisingly modest. Someone asked her how she managed to look so good and she said “Honey, LOTS of concealer!” (Trust us, she doesn’t need ANY!) Isaiah Washington, Mario Lopez, Ricki Lake, Laila Ali, Will & Grace’s Leslie Jordan, as well as Project Runway bad boy Santino Rice, all came out for Howard.
