Friends Hollywood Jennifer Aniston Rupert Everett

IN DEFENSE OF JENNIFER ANISTON

We can understand why Rupert Everett would make those unfavorable comments about Jennifer Aniston. He would prefer to see Hollywood actors paid in accordance with their training and skill as opposed to popularity. Rupert pointed out that Jennifer films flop after flop and remains on the salary A-list. He’s right, but he’s overlooked the years Jennifer spent on “Friends” forging a bond with her fans. It was one of the must successful TV series EVER, and naturally it got her type cast as a cute girl next door. She doesn’t have much choice – these disposable romantic comedies are the roles offered her and she does the best with them that she can. She knows she’s lucky. Don’t hold it against her, Rupert.

Gay In The Closet Out of the Closet Richard Chamberlain Rupert Everett

RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN AND RUPERT EVERETT ADVISE ACTORS: STAY IN THE CLOSET!

Richard Chamberlain agrees with us – and with Rupert Everett – that leading male actors in Hollywood (or anywhere else) should NOT come out as gay. Chamberlain came out at the age of 69 when he was too old for romantic roles and he advises younger actors to keep quiet about their sexual preference. Rupert Everett regrets coming out at the age of 30 because leading roles dried up and now he spends much of his time writing. Chamberlain made a point when he told The Advocate “Look what happened with Prop 8 – don’t pretend we’re suddenly accepted.” Let’s face it – would Rob Pattinson have all those fans drooling over him if he were openly gay?

RUPERT EVERETT WARNS GAY ACTORS TO STAY IN THE CLOSET

bestfriendswedcut

Just when we thought we’d made some progress in this town, English actor Rupert Everett has announced that gay actors should NOT “come out” in Hollywood because it will end their careers. Rupert, 50, made a big splash in “Dance With A Stranger” with Miranda Richardson in 1985 and came out as gay in 1989. He says that since then, he’s had no leads in movies – only supporting roles. Rupert insists “You cannot be a 25 year old homosexual and make it in the film business anywhere.” Everett went on to play supporting roles as “gay best friend” to Madonna in “The Next Best Thing” and Julia Roberts in “My Best Friend’s Wedding” (above photo.) Rupert admits he’s probably happier than closeted actors, but not as successful.
