ELLEN DEGENERES IS STANDING UP FOR GAYS

Even though she’s gay herself, Ellen DeGeneres is trying to polish up her image with the gay community. Ellen’s career has been in the toilet ever since her talk show ended, and as we previously reported, she’s returning to stand-up to launch her comeback. Ellen fears her reputation is tarnished, so she’s hoping her fellow gays can help polish it up. Although most of her charity work involves protecting endangered species, Ellen is now forming a charity to benefit gay and lesbian youths. My source says Ellen is planning an upcoming comedy tour at predominantly gay clubs across the nation, and will donate all profits to the charity.

KANYE WEST IS LIVING IN BOYS TOWN

Well this is just odd. Kayne West and his less than liberal beliefs have relocated to the most liberal area of Los Angeles… West Hollywood! The rumored antisemitic Trump-loving Kayne is renting a place right in the center of the gay Mecca of LA. According to my source, Kayne was sick of living in Calabasas so close to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and his Malibu home is completely gutted and on the market. So he decided to rent a place in Weho until he figures out where in LA he wants to live. Unsurprisingly, my source says that Kayne’s wife, Bianca Censori has already befriended some of their gay neighbors, but so far Kayne has been sticking to himself.

ADAM LAMBERT IS THE MODERN LIBERACE

This how Adam Lambert looked while walking around New York this week and we couldn’t help being reminded of Liberace! Back in the 1960’s, Liberace was an extremely flamboyant Las Vegas entertainer with a penchant for fur coats, glittery sport jackets, and feather CAPES. He also flaunted a lacquered high pompadour – comparable to Adam’s hair. Liberace insisted he was NOT gay his entire life. He even sued a UK paper for implying he WAS, and won a considerable amount of money. Before he died Liberace was sued by a 22 year old ex-boyfriend/chauffeur for palimony and they settled out of court. Adam, who never leaves the house without eyeliner, waited until after he LOST on American Idol to talk about being gay. Would he have confessed if he had WON first place on the show? Probably…

RICHARD GERE STILL ISN’T GAY

Along came the pandemic and we forgot all about Richard Gere. He became single in 2016 when his divorce from Carey Lowell was finalized (She remarked that she fell in love with his CHARACTER in An Officer and a Gentleman)- they had a cute son, Homer, who’s 22 now. After dating various pretty young women, Gere, now 72, settled on Spanish publicist/political activist Alejandra Silva (who is 33 years younger than he is) and they got married in 2018. She comes from a wealthy Spanish family and went to school in the US. They already have two young sons – age 2 and 3. The Gere family lives at his NY ranch but they often vacation in Spain. We remember back in the 80’s when Richard’s career was red HOT, that jealous guys liked to insist that Richard was gay, but it turned out they were wrong…

ELLIOT PAGE HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT HOLLYWOOD

Elliot Page was the first Oscar nominated actress (Ellen Page in Juno) to come out as transgender in Hollywood history. He made the announcement over two years ago and his career is understandably up in the air right now. Determined to make the best of it, Elliot is writing a memoir called Pageboy and it already sold to a publisher for 3 million dollars. It looks like it will be a guessing game of homophobic Hollywood bullies and we hope there are lots of clues. Not only did a male director try to seduce Ellen at the age of 16, but a HUGE movie star got drunk at a party and went on a homophobic rampage, embarrassing Page when she first came out as gay. Put Pageboy on your Christmas list for 2023.

DON’T LET COLTON UNDERWOOD FOOL YOU!

Not for ONE tiny minute do we believe Colton Underwood couldn’t admit he was gay until he appeared on The Bachelor. Ridiculous! The 29 year old handsome football player was actually very interested in the FAME and MONEY he got from appearing on Bachelor shows for three seasons! He advertised himself as “The Virgin Bachelor,” after all. We WERE concerned when the woman he chose, Cassie Randolph, got a restraining order against him. (What was THAT about?) Today he “came out” to Robin Roberts, trying to make it seem like he was struggling with his sexuality UNTIL he appeared on The Bachelor, and the show helped him “decide” he was gay. Baloney. What helped him come out was the fat paycheck Netflix is now giving him to film his new gay identity series – that he HAPPENS to be promoting now. Colton did not “accidentally” deceive all those women and he’s not the hero he wants YOU to think he is.

TAN FRANCE: FIRST OUT GAY MUSLIM ON TV?

To think we almost FORGOT how amazing Tan France’s hair is! He has the pompadour of a lifetime- what a head of hair! The Queer Eye star, 36, lives up to his billing as a fashion expert. Tan was born Tanveer Safdar in the UK to Pakistani parents and he grew up gay in a Muslim family. (You can read more about THAT in his book Naturally Tan.) He studied design in college and worked in the fashion industry (including Chanel) until he married an illustrator named Rob France (hence the last name.) They live together in Salt Lake City. Today Tan was in New York visiting the Stephen Colbert show.

TOM FORD: “SLEEPING WITH MEN DOESN’T MAKE YOU GAY!”

When Tom Ford (who happens to hate women) was discussing his new collection in New York, he made a few comments that startled and riled up some of his fans – especially the gay ones. Tom hates the word “masculine” and he likes the fact that “fashion and sexuality have become more fluid.” Tom says “The new generation is great – guys paint their nails – no big deal. You’re a man sleeping with a man? So what – that doesn’t make you GAY!” The internet lit up with comments from outraged men. One wrote “As a gay man, that’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.” Another wisecracked “No, it doesn’t MAKE you gay, but it’s likely a good indication that you already ARE!” And that’s just the beginning…

KRISTEN STEWART TO TRUMP: “HERE’S MY NEW BUZZ CUT AND DUDE, I’M SO GAY!”

When Twilight star Kristen Stewart was dating her leading man Rob Pattinson, she never seemed very pleasant or accessible. The couple obviously felt tortured because they were so famous and always swamped by fans. But after they split, Kristen REALLY moved on and started dating girls. She seemed to develop a sense of humor about herself and when she hosted SNL last month she came out as gay. (We’d love to know what Rob thinks about all this!) She also joked about Donald Trump tweeting back when they were together that Rob should dump her for cheating. And now that she’s bleached and buzzed her hair, we find her way easier to like and cooler…

LADY GAGA PARTIED WITH THE GIRLS AT DINAH SHORE WEEKEND

You’ve gotta give Lady Gaga credit – she doesn’t miss an opportunity to promote her music. Gaga turned up at the Club Skirts pool party during the Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs. It’s a five day lesbian oriented music festival, and it’s hugely popular with the girls. Gaga visited Samantha Ronson, who was DJ at the pool party, and she hung out and schmoozed with all the gals. She was appropriately attired and had a good time dancing to the music. No men allowed.
