Today Fark had this great headline that’s going to get them on the Church of Scientology’s hit list (assuming they don’t already have a spot): “One of the stars of ‘Top Gun’ comes out of the closet. Shockingly, not Tom Cruise.” I’ve been chuckling over that all day. Even though it wasn’t the “Top Gun” star we all expected, the other one did come out of the closet. Kelly McGillis told “Girl Rock!” – an internet show – that she’s single and looking – for a woman.
Tom Cruise’s girlfriend in the 1980s hit “Top Gun” confirmed in an interview the longstanding rumor that she’s gay.
Kelly McGillis told the Internet show Girl Rock! that she was single, and in the market for a female partner.
“Definitely a woman,” she said when asked if she’s looking for a man or a woman. “I’m done with the man thing. You need to move on in life.”
McGillis, 51, has been married and divorced twice, and has two daughters with her second husband, Fred Tillman.
The actress said coming out as a lesbian was “an ongoing process from the time I was probably 12.”
She added that “I had a lot of things happen that convinced me that God was punishing me because I was gay.” McGillis was attacked and raped in her apartment in 1982 when she was a young actress working in New York.

I didn’t realize there was a “longstanding” rumor about McGillis’ sexual orientation. This is the part where I’d like to make a joke about how if anything could turn you gay, it’d be Tom Cruise. But I won’t make that joke because I believe in the nature over nature argument. But if I didn’t, I’d be all over that joke. Just wanted to make that clear.
Good for Kelly for being out and proud about who she is. It sounds like she’s had a long and tough journey, so it must be nice to finally get to a place where she can just be comfortable with herself. Hopefully she’ll find a nice lady to settle down with.
Now that Lane Garrison is out of prison, what’s the first, most logical thing to do? Go to Jessica Simpson’s parents house for a party, naturally. That’s where most ex-cons go. Actually, it turns out that Jessica Simpson’s dad and Garrison go way back: Joe was Lane’s youth pastor when he was growing up in Texas.
Garrison served just half his 40 months sentence for felony vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence. His car crash killed a 17-year-old boy and left two teenage girls injured. As a condition of his release, Garrison is spending the next five months in a rehab facility.
Hours after his release from prison and a gathering at Jessica Simpson’s parents’ house, a noticeably thinner Lane Garrison spoke exclusively to E! News as he arrived at the Los Angeles-area Tarzana Treatment Center to begin a five-month stint at the residential inpatient facility.
Wearing a baseball cap with the word “faith” printed on it, the former Prison Break star discussed his plans for the future. “I’m blessed to be alive,” said Garrison, who spent more than 19 months in prison altogether for a 2006 DUI crash that left one passenger dead. “I’m just worried about getting through treatment right now,” he said. Also, “I’m looking forward to getting on with my life and doing the right thing and helping people.”
During his incarceration, Garrison was a peer mentor for fellow inmates, a responsibility that requires a spotless behavior record while behind bars. And he had some famous friends waiting for him on the outside upon his release.
Sources tell E! News that, after being picked up from the California Correctional Institute, he was the guest of honor at a welcome-home reception at Simpson’s parents’ Encino home. Papa Joe Simpson was Garrison’s youth minister in their native Texas and Lane lived with the family for a time. Jessica was at the gathering today, but there was no sign of sister Ashlee. Garrison was at the Simpsons’ place from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., after which he went directly to the nearby Tarzana rehab center.

I hope this guy works his butt off in rehab. He’s obviously got some serious demons. It seems like he handled this as well as he could. He gave an apology in court in which he seemed to be genuinely emotionally distraught, though obviously he’s an actor. But he took responsibility (at least publicly) for his behavior and has never tried to blame anyone else. He also reached settlements with the victims’ families. I’m by no means on the guy’s side nor do I have empathy for him – that’s for his victims. But I think so far he’s done as much as can be done in a situation like this. Now if Garrison is willing to work hard and really clean up in rehab – and stay that way – that will best demonstrate his remorse.
Here’s Lane checking into rehab yesterday. Images thanks to Pacific Coast News.
“I’m still in the very beginning… It kind of came out faster than I wanted it to. My husband kind of surprised me and everybody at one of his concerts. He was just on tour so he kind of told everybody. He’s allowed to obviously. We’re very excited.”

More drama for Madonna as a dagger gets thrown in the path of her adoption fight for 3-year-old Mercy.
Let me put it this way…the sepia must not have worked for Madge…at least not in Mr. James Kambewa’s mind, anyhow. Kambewa, Mercy’s father is on a mission to make sure Madge does NOT get her hands on his daughter.
Last night, Mr. Kambewa insisted that HE could give his daughter a better home than Madge. Whaaaaaa?!
“She is my daughter; she is my blood; she needs parental love. She is not an orphan. She lost one parent, yes, but I am still alive and so she is not an orphan. Madonna has millions of dollars but that doesn’t make her a good mum. Parental love is more than money. Besides, I don’t think Madonna is a model mum. I have seen her in movies of her songs. She doesn’t portray good morals.
“How can a woman of 50 dance almost naked on stage? I wouldn’t want my daughter to grow up like that! In Malawi women respect themselves. Cultured women do not go about half-naked. I also heard after her marriage failed she is already seeing two men, both very younger than her and her ex-husband. I hear one of them is even less than half her age. That’s scandalous. How can a normal woman fall for a boy who can as well be her son? No, spare my Mercy that scandal.”
Ohhhh snap! That papa sure has a mouth on him…especially for a man who never really spent any time with his daughter at all.

Well, its been a coon’s age, February 2007 to be exact, since John Mayer left Jessica Simpson heartbroken to the point of drowning her sorrows in booze and late night clubbing. (I still blame Papa Joe for that failed relationship and every failed relationship Jessica has ever been a part of, but whatevs.) Despite hurting poor Jessica, it is rumored that John and Jess met up for an intimate lunch date. Say, what??!!! Yep.
The duo were recently spotted having a little bite to eat and enjoyed cordial conversation in Calabasas, California…TOGETHER.
And apparently, the exes were REALLY enjoying each other’s company.
A source says, “They were keen not to be seen together but they looked so happy to be in each other’s company. It looked to me like they were more than just good friends!”
I wonder what Tony Romo Papa Joe thought about that!

Teeny boppers and tweens around the world will be screaming their little hearts out to know that their beloved heart throbs, the mop-topped Jonas Brothers, have a brand spankin’ new album on the way.
Already to be released June 16th, the JoBros’ highly anticipated fourth CD, Lines, Vines and Trying Times is said to be an album with music stepping a bit outside of the usual JoBros’ comfort zone. Yep, they’re growing up. *sigh* Musically, you can expect horns, harmonicas and pedal steel guitars.
Excuse me…but WHEN did these boys even have time to get their booties in the studio to record? With a brand new television show, movies, a worldwide tour, and promotional appearances, these boys must be beat!
Arriving on radio AND online, the first single from their album is called “Paranoid”, which is described as a guitar-driven dance ditty.
Mamas and papas, prepare for your wee ones to be asking for some cha-ching for this one! The JoBros aren’t going away anytime soon. Sorry, boy band haters!

After testifying in court against her stalker, Tyra Banks can breathe a big fat sigh of relief. Brady Green, the whack job who thought it would be cool to obsessively stalk the supermodel, was convicted! Guilty, guilty, nut-so and guilty.
The only crappy deal about the conviction is that Mr. Green will not have to sit behind bars.
Criminal Court Judge James Burke said that Green’s behavior was “hounding.” Ummm…more like “freakish”.
So what is Green’s punishment then? Well…Judge Burke extended a restraining order to keep the nut job away from Miss Tyra AND he needs to pack his bags and move far, far away from Tyra.
Burke said, “Put Mr. Green in a location where he can thrive. And that location is not likely to be the city of New York.”
Ship him out so he can go stalk someone else! Errrrrrr….

Robert Pattinson, or “R-Pattz” to his friends, is really starting to grow on me. I still don’t see why all of the little girls are totally in a tizzy, but the more I read of R-Pattz, he seems like a pretty funny, half-decent guy. If only I could convince him to wash his hair and close his mouth. Then he would be perfect. Sort of.
So R-Pattz is out promoting his latest film, Little Ashes, where he plays the young Salavador Dali. R-Pattz plays him naked! Oh, the Twilight moms will go see it, but they’ll leave their tween daughters at home. Sometimes I feel like chanting “Full frontal, full frontal!” when I hear of some actor brave enough to drop it all for a film. R-Pattz sat down for an interview with Moviefone, and he jokes about getting a penis implant. Chuckle. Well played, R-Pattz.
Fans who think they could never get enough of Robert Pattinson will probably get what they wished for in upcoming Salvador Dali biopic Little Ashes, in which the Twilight hunk had to bare it all.
So how did he deal with it?
“I had so many ridiculous answers just come into my head,” he laughs in a new interview with Moviefone on how he prepared himself to take it all off. “I had a penis implant!”
But seriously?
“I don’t know, I just kind of, it’s funny because Spanish people are so … have no problem with nudity at all, I mean at all, and English people obviously do have, like, the most enormous problem with it.”
With newfound fame comes embarrassing interviews, as well as a different view of the world around you. And RPatts, who is adored by legions of girls and women the world over, is definitely feeling that change in his daily life.
“It’s quite stressful in a way, but it’s only when you’re by yourself. When I have my friends around it doesn’t make any difference. I just spend a lot of time by myself, and I used to walk around the block by myself in various different cities, and I don’t know, you start to feel a bit vulnerable,” he admits.
The difference is apparent on the set of New Moon as well, he says, as it used to be easy for the cast to get together for dinner every night and just hang out.
” Now it’s quite difficult to even leave the hotel,” he reveals. “And all these random little stories become someway, somehow newsworthy, so you have to be very secretive about everything. Even if you want to just clarify something in the script or something. It’s just strange. It’s just very different … It’s very strange when you’re aware of being observed, I guess.”
Sorry Rob, you’re just too handsome and talented for your own good.
From OK! Magazine
Of course he feels vulnerable, he looks like a stiff breeze could knock him over. Those Twi-moms could rip him apart! Eat something, R-Pattz! Or work out, or something. Little Ashes sounds pretty good, though, I might go to see it. According to Celebuzz, “the story chronicles Dali’s friendships in 1920s Spain with filmmaker Luis Bunuel (played by Englishman Matthew McNulty, 26) and writer Frederico Garcia Lorca (as depicted by 25-year-old Barcelona-native Javier Beltran).” Nice.
