Cele|bitchy | Enquirer: Penny Marshall & Carrie Fisher are a couple and plan to come out soon

A source says… Penny Marshall plans to come out of the closet and declare she’s a lesbian!

What’s more, the beloved 70 year-old actress-turned-director will be supported in her announcement by her longterm girlfriend – actress Carrie Fisher, 57…

Penny apparently made the decision to reveal her sexuality when she got the news that she’d beaten cancer after a courageous life-or-death battle that lasted four years.

“Penny says that with her medical problems finally behind her, she’s going to live life to the fullest, and she doesn’t give a rat’s ass if people have a problem with it,” a family insider told The Enquirer.

As a result, twice-divorced Marshall… is ready to announce her relationship with Carrie, said the source.

“Penny and Carrie have been close friends for a long time,” noted the source. “There have been rumors in the gay community that they were a lesbian couple, but they necer confirmed or denied it.

“Penny now wants to live the rest of her life without hiding anything. She’s going to come out of the close.

“Carrie is thrilled, and she’s supporting Penny completely.”

I keep hoping there is some lost tape between Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher that starts off with her wearing her Return of the Jedi outfit. And she pretends she needs to warm him up from his carbonite ice coma.....

^^^^
and then they slice open a space llama and cuddle up inside it?

These two totally make sense as a couple to me. I wonder how long they're supposed to have been together, because they've publicly been "best friends" for many years.
