   Not only was Newman gay but, having played Butch, we know he must have been a top.

   Well, at least, if true, he wasn’t linked with Ernest Borgnine–who also was on that list (as having hooked up with The Rifleman for a while).

   Sounds like somebody could have used an e-meter reading or two down at his local Church of Scientology to get rid of that pesky homosexuality…

   Too bad he never came out. I would have liked to see the “homophobic nut” demographic in this country pile up their salad dressing and spaghetti sauce in the street to be burned, uncomfortable with how often they enjoyed swallowing “Newman’s Own.”

   Wow, it sure seems like everyone in Hollywood these days is gay. Its not a huge surprise, however, with all the sequins and sparkling lights going on out in that neck of the country. Plus those huge HOLLYWOOD letters on the hilltop? Puh-lease. And Arnold Schwarzenegger is their governor? Somebody please pass the Judy Garland records. On the bright side, one can only hope Tom Cruise is outed via the same way Patrick Swayze’s character in “Donny Darko” was kicked out of the closet; ton’s of underage boys.

   It really does seem like there’s some sort of prerequisite to get into showbiz, into Hollywood. Either that, or the city turns you gay.

   And Alicia, I believe Mr. Schwarzenegger’s post is now referred to as governator.

   If only he had been. When you watch Paul Newman in “Hud” or any other movie in which he removed his shirt, you just have to marvel at the man’s beauty. He was gorgeous. And I’ve always thought Joanne Woodward was the only luckiest girl alive. They were married 50 years. That’s quite an amazing feat in Hollywood. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family right now.

   What? Does their sexuality really matter when they are dead and have a wife of 50+ years?

   I don’t know how I feel about guerilla outing of gays. I mean he has no way to defend himself – he’s dead! Also – his widow is still mourning, what if these allegations/accusations would leak to the mainstream press ad to her doorstep? She just lost the man…

   In terms of the above comment – what does it really matter?
   It is one thing if you want to be out, if you feel comfortable being out but dragging it out or making it known if the person doesn’t want it to be known that is just as wrong as making fun of someone for being gay…

   Granted when I was born Rip Taylor threw confetti over me and my father always regretted not painting my crib from pink to blue until I was a year old but…eh!

   Sexy, talented, handsome, kind-hearted, intelligent and suave…

   Yes I should have guessed Newman was gay. All the good ones are.

    @Eric:

    Mmmm… It’s just that in Hollywood, you know you’re really famous when a gay rumor gets started about you. It’s the new mythology, y’know.

    Only a sperm burping Homo would even start a rumor like that gays love to believe good looking straight men are gay like them

    @mike:
    sperm-burping Homo? That rumour DOES get you worked up, honey, doesn’t it? Poor dear, no safe place anymore, is there? By the way, Marlon Brando (another one of those who swung both ways) commented on Newman’s bisexuality way back. I think they knew each other well.
    What’s the big deal, there’s lots of REALLY straight actors out there, so don’t get your knickers in a twist, nobody’s asking you to get down on your knees (probably too ugly to be in any danger anyway)

    Yes it does matter 50+ years of lying & living a false & unhappy life,probably also the reason for his drinking.
