Four items for you this morning, featuring your usual cavalcade of closeted gents and obsessive ladies, plus an 'Old Hollywood' blind item for you nostalgia-prone folk out there. Enjoy, after the jump.



1) "Which divorced comic superstar is exploring a groovy new real-life persona: that of an openly gay man?" [NYDN]

2) "Which A-list actor, who yells from the rooftops that he is straight, approached a male Off-Broadway star in a bar and offered to pay him big bucks to watch him and another dude get it on in the rest room?" [NYDN]

3) "Which busty brunette superstar is turning her boyfriend off with her obsessive behaviour? She insists on arranging her shoes, underwear, and hairpieces in straight lines." [Mirror]

4) A tale from 'Old Hollywood'... "Four people involved in this. #1 and #2 were actors who made their fame in films, but both got their only real serious award nomination for television. Any movie lover will know who #2 is. #1, maybe not. #3 was an actress but gave it up when she married #1. Eventually she married #2 as well although the marriage to #2 was as a cover for #2 being gay. The twist to this story involves #4. #4 was an actor who also married into a really wild family. Everyone will know #4. #4 also tended to go both ways as well which must have made it fun when prior to #4's marriage, #1,#2,#3 and #4 used to periodically share one bed." [CDaN]
