She wanted to do something for gay teens but her team convinced her staying in the closet would help her hit show. She could learn a lesson in confidence from this actress, who thinks she's the bee's knees.

1. "A certain female television star was this close to coming out last week. She was quite distraught over the recent reports of gay students taking their lives and saw it as a great opportunity to set a good example for others. After discussions with her agent and manager, however, she canceled her meeting with a public relations expert. She is the star of a television show, and they convinced her that if she came out as a lesbian, she was risking not only her career, but those of all the entire cast and crew of the show as well."

2. "On The View [on Friday], the women interviewed actor Gabriel Byrne of HBO's In Treatment. He talked about the fact that he avoids watching his own performance on screen. 'But there's one actress that I know...I wish I had her confidence. We sat through a screening of a film, and at the end of it, she slapped me on the thigh, and said "Can I fucking act, or what?!"' Byrne wouldn't name the woman, but he did say that it wasn't Joan Collins." [Blind Gossip]
