Kevin Spacey Will Say Everything But 'I'm Gay'
Kevin Spacey fights for the right to stay in the glass closet. Nick Cannon confirms that Mariah's having twins. David Arquette confirms that he's having a breakdown. Thursday gossip knows that you know that he knows, but what about her?
- Former Vanity Fair writer Kevin Sessums gave Kevin Spacey the third degree about his sexuality, and Spacey argued for the right to stay in the glass closet. (And spank sexy naked butts therein.) Sessums: "We gay men have always proudly claimed you as a member of our tribe, and yet you don't proudly claim us back. " Spacey: "I don't live a lie. You have to understand that people who choose not to discuss their personal lives are not living a lie." Spacey compares outing celebrities to bullying gay teens: "I don't understand people who say, 'Well, this is a terrible thing that is happening to this young person whose life is being exposed,' and then turn around and do it to another person." Sessums brings up how powerful it would be to see Spacey do an "It Gets Better" video, and Spacey agrees and says he'd "absolutely" do it. At least America will always have heartwarming YouTube clips for common ground? This is one of the few times that a celebrity interview actually provokes thought, so I recommend reading it.

- Did Michael C. Hall fall out of his marriage and into Julia Stiles' arms? There's a new rumor that Julia wrecked the Hall-Carpenter home! Or maybe Hall wrecked himself, and Julia just happened to have a role on his TV show at the time, and now she's thinking, "Great, now my reputation is going to be ruined." Beautiful starlets are rumor magnets. If a scandal occurs within a certain radius of their being, their beauty will suck the scandal mythos in. [Celebitchy]

- Winona Ryder remembers the good ol' days when Mel Gibson's raging offensiveness only turned up when he was drunk at parties. (As opposed to scream-fest digital recordings all over the internet.) She recalls one alcohol-soaked party where "it came up that I was Jewish. He said something about 'oven dodgers.'" He also made a gay joke. [GQ via P6]

- "Are you having a nervous breakdown?" Howard Stern asked a newly single, oversharing David Arquette. "I believe so," Arquette replied. Then he told a story about running into Tom Cruise and calling him "Sean" because "I was a little wasted." As is now the rule for David Arquette, the interview veers into tragic territory shortly thereafter: "I"ve been drinking a lot because I'm heartbroken. It's really a personal, traumatic thing." In other news, I finally understand Howard Stern's genius: He's the world's worst therapist, for the world's most misled people. The strange sex stunts are but an elaborate set-up for Freudian analysis. [HowardStern, Us, People]
