^ omg wow I did not even know that! And i know a lot about news stories and old hollywood celebrities so thats pretty sad that i didn't even know that and it shows that the media still isn't highlighting this fact in favor of the other more dramatic version of events.

Rock in happier times____________I think Jimmy was a little bi-curious and that mayb have helped him too.

in healthier times.......................................not so much (w/ good friend and sometime costar Doris Day).

he looks so sad and lost; like he knows the end is near; a fate not fair for a man like him.

George Clooney said something once about having to sleep with ugly old women to help his career.. He admitted to fucking his way around.

^I think those pix were taken in July of 1985 and he died October 2nd of that same year.
I read somewhere that at the very end, this 6'6" man only weighed about 100 pounds

Geez, Alice, your avatar of that crazy Lowenstein woman freaks me out.

I've heard Clark Gable whored himself to men early in his career. He got director George Cukor fired from Gone with the wind because the gay Cukor knew about it from a friend or had himself been one of Gable's lovers. I've also heard Gable had been involved in a hit and run but the studio protected him.

Newer casting couch rumours mostly involve Bryan Singer. There are rumours that his Superman got the role for his talent in the shack. And I also read somewhere that the kid who played Pyro in X-men 2 (and 3) got the part by getting in a bathtub with Singer. No idea, myself, I guess when a director is gay these rumours are easier to come about. There were rumours about Antonio Banderas and Pedro Almodovar too back when Antonio was making Spanish films.

i totally believe that; Antonio is such a loser! i love Almodovar btw! and i heard from Carole Lumbard (one of Clarks wives) that he had a small weeney

but i bet Rhett Butler didn't!

Is there any truth in the rumours about Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey and Colin and the director of Phone Booth (can't remember his name)?

I've heard about the VELVET MAFIA; it basically controls gay hollywood. Makes me think theres plenty of closet cases.

In those days, the late seventies, early eighties, blood was not yet screened for HIV. The chances are pretty high that he was infected through contaminated blood.
That whole "outing" of him on his deathbed makes me so mad to this day!

Oh my god, I had no idea. That's absolutely awful. That pisses me off. I can't believe he went through his entire life living like that. I could never do that.

I've heard rumors about Colin being bisexual. I remember reading somewhere online someone said she actually had a gay friend who screwed him in school. That's not sleeping your way up in Hollywood but... Just thought I'd throw that out there. Personally I think the guy will screw anything with a hole. Not sure what "sexual orientation" that is.

What is the Velvet Mafia???????

Didn't she explain that in her post? A gay group that controls, probably, the gay actors/actresses who are in the closet in Hollywood.

I'm not sure I believe it but it's an interesting thought. Velvet Mafia; good name.

^ I believe it b/c they set up those two gay cast members from Lost to get together and before that their was Tom and Penelope and before that Penelope and Mathew Mchonahey and before that Tom and NIcole.
