We LOVE it when our gossip takes on a life of it’s own! Last night on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Ving Rhames guested and Conan couldn’t help bringing up our item about Ving’s “difficult kissing scene” in his movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Ving admitted that he didn’t want to kiss a MAN onscreen and kissed a “female double ” instead, just like we told you! Ving stated “I am secure in my masculinity” and then he offered to demonstrate a “stage kiss” with Conan where their lips don’t really meet. Conan warned Ving “My wife has TIVO.” Their fake smooch drew much laughter with Conan asking “Am I the man or the woman?” We’re just happy our funny story was appreciated!

VING RHAMES: WHO'S KISSING HIM NOW?

There are plenty of gay shenanigans in Adam Sandler’s currently filming movie “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.” It’s about firemen who pretend they’re gay to get health benefits. Hulking Ving Rhames plays a macho fireman of indeterminate sexual preference, and his character was supposed to give a big kiss to another guy. But Ving could NOT bring himself to do it. Kissing a guy freaked him out. Producers solved the problem by grabbing an extra – a tallish girl with short hair – and they dressed her up in men’s clothes. Ving was perfectly happy to kiss the girl in drag – and the girl was thrilled because the bigger role meant she got her SAG card.!
