Were Cary Grant and Randolph Scott gay lovers?
Below is an excerpt from Brett L. Abrams's new book, Hollywood Bohemians: Transgressive Sexuality and the Selling of the Movieland Dream. Were actors Cary Grant and Randolph Scott gay? Were they lovers? The book explores their relationship.
Brett L. Abrams writes:
They appeared in silhouette, as Pacific Ocean waves crested behind them. [Randolph] Scott touched his lit cigarette against the cigarette dangling from [Cary] Grant’s mouth. The presentation of two men smoking together appeared frequently in fiction during the era. However, these scenes occurred in bars, saloons, and other “masculine” spaces rather than in a space that the culture viewed as romantic. The interaction between the two men did not present them as a pair, isolated from everyone around them. One man rarely lit the other man’s cigarette, and certainly did not lean forward to light a cigarette as it dangled from the other man’s mouth. The image of a male and female couple lighting cigarettes within a beautiful night scene at home appeared most frequently in cigarette advertising since the mid–1920s. These images linked smoking cigarettes to romance. Scott and Grant appeared within that similar type of romantic setting.

Jake Gyllenhaal is keeping fit! Just Jared reports that our Jake was out jogging with his trainer this morning. It seems though that he's lost much of the muscle he gained for Prince of Persia. Too bad. I liked him extra-buffed. Check out today's pics and then compare how he looked just six months ago.

Larry Craig accepts sex sting guilty plea
The disgraced Senator was busted by an undercover cop for soliticing sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on June 11th, 2007. Craig is married to a woman and has repeatedly denied that he's gay.
Reuters reports:
Former Idaho Senator Larry Craig has ended his effort to void the guilty plea he made following his 2007 arrest in a men's toilet sex-sting operation, his lawyer said on Thursday. The Minnesota courts have denied the Idaho Republican's appeals asking that he be allowed to withdraw his disorderly conduct guilty plea, which was processed by mail much like a traffic ticket. Another appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court would have been fruitless, because the case did not raise significant or novel issues, Craig's attorney Thomas Kelly said. The three-term Republican's term ended this week, and he has returned to Idaho, Kelly said. READ MORE

Black support for Prop. 8 called exaggeration
"The study debunks the myth that African Americans overwhelmingly and disproportionately supported Proposition 8"
San Francisco Chronicle reports:
Reports of overwhelming African American support for Proposition 8's ban on same-sex marriage were exaggerated in exit polls, a new look at the November election results has found. "Party identification, age, religiosity and political view had much bigger effects than race, gender or having gay and lesbian family and friends," said Patrick Egan of New York University, who wrote the report with Kenneth Sherrill of Hunter College of New York for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

Josh Brolin's onetime low profile gets raised ever higher with roles in 'W' and 'Milk'
"I don't think Dan White killed Harvey because he was gay or because he was jealous that he was out and free. I think he killed him because it was the only tangible thing he had left that he could come by in his mind" - Josh Brolin
Below is an excerpt from an interview that Mark Olsen at the Los Angeles Times did with actor Josh Brolin:
Mark Olsen: A couple of times in "Milk" it is implied that Dan White might have been secretly gay. Did people from the time put forward this idea?
Josh Brolin: Yes, but it's all conjecture. Who knows? Maybe it was that, maybe it had nothing to do with being latent. Do I play his latent homosexuality? No, with the exception of that one drunken scene. There were a couple times you'll see looks that Dan gives Harvey that were kind of indefinable. Is he looking at him to connect? Because he's desperate? Because he likes him? It's all possible. It's hard to pinpoint whether he was a latent homosexual. I don't know if it matters, ultimately. This is my opinion, I don't think Dan White killed Harvey because he was gay or because he was jealous that he was out and free. I think he killed him because it was the only tangible thing he had left that he could come by in his mind.

Prosecutors say Steve Mahoney ran Mahoney and Associates in Kent, and held himself out as an expert in immigration affairs. They say he made money by advising immigrants on how to stay in the U.S. READ MORE

The beauty of... Adam Phebus
Uber-talented photographer Ronald Tan's most recent subject was Vision Models Adam Phebus. Great pics, Ronald!
Brad at 45
JustJared posted this recent cover shot of actor Brad Pitt on W magazine. The picture at right is from 1997; Brad who just turned 45 last month is aging gracefully, and it's great to see a Hollywood leading man's face not ruined by a surgeon's knife.
Via Faded Youth is some of what Brad had to say in the article:
“People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying. What if someone said, ‘Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.’ No one would stand for that, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to say that either. I’d fight them in the same way.”
