As If You Didn't Know Everything Already

Well-well-well. Anderson Cooper has admitted - finally - that he is - gasp - gay!

It won't be a boring summer after all! Not that Anderson's news is actually News since almost everyone who has spent even a moment on a gossip site or works in any part of the TV industry already "knew" that fact, but The Boys Who Love The Silver Fox can all breathe a huge sigh of relief that their dream boy has given up the coy smile and has Grown Up and become A Public Gay With Integrity!

In my humble opinion, it was time for Mr. Cooper to come out. He almost did so a few weeks ago on Kathy Griffin's Bravo TV show when he told her that while on a plane, almost falling asleep, he noticed that a man sitting in front of him was surreptiously attempting to take Coop's picture via Reverse View from a cell phone. Not pleased, he tapped the guy on the shoulder and said, "Bitch....what are you doing?" Something like that. The key word here is addressing the man as "Bitch."

Do you know any straight men who begin sentences like that if they're talking to another man? A Rap star saying "Bitch please!" will always be talking about his Ho's, if you know what I mean. So, when the B-Word slipped from The Silver Fox's tongue during this part of the chat with Kath, he caught himself and giggled. You know Kathy had to hold back one of the best potential moments of her career in the name of friendship by not outing him right then and there - cuz, you know, he kinda gave himself away.

So, good for you, Anderson! Yet another handsome gay man admitting he is a handsome gay man! Bravo. Well played. Understated. (See HERE for reference.)

The other Big Story, the one that even non-gossipers are reading with drooling delight, is how the Church Of Scary Evil Monsters eat their young and that Katie Holmes was afraid Mr. Tom Cruise was planning to turn their daughter Suri into someone on the fringe of the human crop by ensuring her eternal devotion to his belief system - the one where we're all aliens and such - and is supposedly the reason she filed for sole custody in her divorce papers, is flying higher on the Interwebs than Cruise-Out-Of-Control ever has on his own Ego.

And even the Evil Murky Rupert Murdoch is jumping on his own couch to shout out via Tweets how creepy the CO$ (Church of Scientology) is. In reading many comments on various websites today, seemingly sane people are actually admitting that for once they think they might be liking ole' Rupert to their sheer surprise! I count myself as one of them. But, just this once, you know. Because, of course, he's saying something I can understand and find agreement. Eh, just basic human nature, isn't it?

Little Miz Holmes, of all the people in the world, may be the one who has cracked-open the closely cemented lid The Church has placed on all of their Dirty Little Secrets. Not that SHE is saying anything, but the fact that it was SHE and not HE (for a change) to file for divorce has brought the subject of Scientology back into the headlines, thus initiating many Google searches of numerous CO$ horrors.

Well played, Katie. Well played.

Now, onward we go into a week of American confusion as our Holiday is in the middle of the week this year, thus throwing-off employers and employees alike with vacation days and interrupted business dealings. For now, my employer is myself and even I'm feeling a bit scattered. Tomorrow I'm off to another part of the state until the end of the week and have more to do before I leave than usual if I'm to honour my Mother's Birthday, which is on the 4th (those fireworks are always for her, doncha know?) by finally visiting her on her turf for a change in over a year.

But, never fear, I will have a computer with me to write brilliant posts such as this one (hah!) during my time away from the Town Of Tinsel. Sorry, but you can't get rid of me just because I won't be hiding in the hills for a change.

Until tomorrow.....
