Bradley Cooper: Gay Vibe?

By Michael Musto Tue., Mar. 8 2011 at 1:54 PM

The diverse grouping of Bradley Cooper, Abbe Cornish, and Robert DeNiro co-star in the new movie Limitless, which they just promoted at a press junket one of my audacious spies happened to be at.

And here's the insight that dribbled my way:

Bradley Cooper turns out to be utterly charming, honest, and open. He gives you the sense that there's nothing he won't tell you.

Is there a gay vibe? "No," swore my source, who usually thinks everyone is gay.

And Bradley's so open, I'm sure he would have told you if he was!

Abbie Cornish is articulate but unfortunately can't say a sentence without a lot of "you knows" and "likes" sprinkled in.

The most interesting thing she said was that she loves the close friendships she develops on movie sets.

Yeah, like with Ryan Phillippe, you know (ha, ha).

As for the legend himself, Robert De Niro?

"He and the producer made a mad dash for the exit the second it was over, like they were fleeing a torture chamber."

And that's why I've always loved the guy. He's really gracious -- to a point.

Oh, PS: My friend liked the movie.

I like how you " industry types" are paid to dismiss the gay rumors for "I couldn't even pass for straight actors". I'm a very masculine gay man who most men and women don't believe it even when I tell them. And yes I can smell another one a mile away. My best wishes for Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartin, Justin Timberlake, George Clooney, Gerald Butler, Jake gyllenhall, Usher, Ryan Reynolds, Jesse Metcalf, Tom Cruise, and the list us endless. I don't know in this day and age why people give a shit or how they can hide it with the social media.

Your source is blind or dumb if they didn't read a vibe of Cooper, Musto.

I've feel like I was just knocked down by a feather boa after reading the article elsewhere among these Broadway cyber-parts about the icky-sweet marketing tie-in between Magnolia Bakery and “Priscilla, the Musical.” Gee, I can't imagine which party approached whom, can you?

But the real bombshell was found in the testimony of the male-cake-chorine (shall we call her “Magnolia”?) who confesses that her too-witty-not costume and routine happens during “MacArthur Park!”

Someone left the cupcake out in the rain?!?!?!?!?

Lordy, I never thought I'd be defending the honor of Rod McKuen, but oh, great god Lyrisious, please say it isn't twue, it isn't twue!

I'm happy to cling to the film version, thank you! Spare us the uninspired schtick of the stage version. I feel like I'm going to vomit after eating too many pistachio cupcakes. In your marketing dreams!

This is the show that needs Julie Taymor, and NEWS FLASH: She's suddenly available!

Being gay, for some, is Boot Camp for acting. You know what your audience wants and you give it to them. Just depends how good an actor you are. Women want their romantic leads straight. Remember the old ads -- "straight acting/appearing." Glad them days are gone.

(PS - Speaking of ads, I heard Brad's on Craigslist. But it could be a rumor.)
