How Do You Know a Celeb Is Gay?

By Michael Musto, Friday, Apr. 11 2008 @ 1:41PM
Comments (27)

This post is done with all due props to the douches at datalounge.com, who inadvertently gave me the idea and even provided some of the answers. Anyway, the major signifiers are:

*Never uses pronouns. ("The person I date...")

*Is dating Liz Taylor, Brooke Shields, or Debbie Rowe

*Has no time for any silly romance ("Much too busy for that sort of thing!")

*Has time for it, but won't talk about it ("I don't see the point...")

*Says labels aren't important ("We're all the same under the skin.")

*Announces "There's nothing wrong with being gay. But I'm suing because..."

*Arrives at a premiere with a woman who disappears. After some shuffling in the dark, the celeb ends up sitting next to his hunky beau.

*Is a former boy band member

The Late Tallulah Bankhead says:

Is caught in an airport restroom stall playing footsie with Larry Craig.

Tells everyone that the handsome young male model living with him is his "personal assistant."

Acts butch, but can recite all the dialogue from "The Women."

* Knows -- and tells! -- eccentric bits of gay Hollywood trivia, like how those two trashy male hustlers killed silent star Ramon Navarro and stuck the Rudolph Valentino dildo up his ass.

* Is found murdered with a commemorative dildo up his ass.

tommy says:

Is a prominent member of a cult group who cannot understand how to hold a woman's hand and make it look real, and pays $20 million for a dumb actress to marry him so he can continue his pillow fights and male wrestling in the privacy of his Scientology Center...it also helps that the leader of the cult is your gay lover....

Fuck you Musto. Can't write your own shit so you steal ours? Get a life you ugly has-been.

Completely stolen from the datalounge!
Now we are writing your column? Great

Plagiarize much Mike Dear?

You area aware the TheVoice isn't even on the radar of the general population don't you? Still, resorting to such a tired tactic as trolling our site for your content won't be tolerated.

Neely says:

Bitch, please find your own goddamn material.

No one likes a stealer, especially one who appears to be retaining water like Hoover Dam.

Datalounge member says:

Well Michael, if someone put down the ginger ale and the redbook maybe they wouldn't have to have someone else write their column. L-A-Z-Y!

musto says:

Stealing? The item starts by saying it was inspired by Datalounge, which provided some of the material! That's called giving credit, morons. And besides, someone from Datalounge accusing anyone else of stealing is like OJ telling people to be nicer to your spouse. A lot of the site--which hardly ANYONE in America has heard of, while I go on Dateline NBC and Countdown--is lifted from other sources. But I do find it touching that a bunch of people who spend their days anonymously posting bitchy commentary, links, bigotry, and wrong information for free feel such a sense of pride and propriety in their work.

sfmike says:

You must have made up that hate mail, Musto, because as every sentient creature in the gay urban jungle knows, you INVENTED bitchy commentary and have owned it for, well, let's just say many years. Don't let the young queens get you down, and please don't use Dateline NBC and Countdown as credits to your godhood. My simple and abiding worship should be enough of a proof. And not only have I never heard of Datalounge, I'm expunging their name from my mind even as I tippy-type.

Tim says:

Hmmm.....Plagiarizing, totally off the radar, has-been, lazy, eh? Let' see. He blogs each weekday, writes a must-read weekly column, is never crude or rude(at least to me)knows what he is talking about always, has a resume longer than your arm, is visibly and unmistakably out and about (on his bicycle yet!) all over town, is on Broadcast & Cable TV regularly, YET the douches from Datalounge, who say he is a has-been and not on National Radar, knew enough to zero right in on the one post they are credited with inspiring. Sounds like a pack of obsessed, rancid, stalking wannabees can't even add up collectively to the single godhead that is Mama Musto. Piss off you bitter highschool bitches.

The Late Tallulah Bankhead says:

Jodie, dahling. I too had never heard of "datalounge" until this idiotic brouhaha erupted on Michael's Blog. So I did link to it and was disappointed to find that it's a visually ugly, difficult-to-navigate and -- saving the worst for last -- boring site. I kept hoping it would get more interesting. As for the comments by irritated little snatchlicks like uxlle (that's Portuguese, dahling, for ugly)and Neely (who must have come out of a pill-induced stupor to write something), Aunt Tallu has just one thing to say: Go fuck yourselves. Now that I've said that Musto, where is Loretta Young's "Swear Box" so I can stick my $20 in it. Oh, here's an extra five: Uxlee, kiss my decaying, but legendary Southern ass.

Defundthewar says:

Datalounge should be grateful for the plug Musto is providing at the very beginning of the post, instead of being a total ass about it. Come to think of it, it's a butt plug.
