COME OUT AND PLAY

Well, it was certainly a big week for c-list celebrities coming out of the closet.

First, Sheryl Swoopes admitted on Wednesday she was a lesbian. Funny how it coincided with her signing an endorsement deal with a lesbian cruise line, but anyway, is anyone really shocked? I mean, I think WNBA players should hold a press conference to announce they are straight.

And then yesterday, George Takei (aka Mr. Sulu) announced he was gay. Again, who cares. I didn't even know the dude was still alive.



Anyway, we all know when it comes to celebs, things come in threes. So we can only guess another famous person not too many people care about will come out this week. Here are some guesses with odds

1. Katie Holmes (20-1) It will turn out, after all these years, that Tom Cruise is really her beard, instead of the other way around. And before you bring up her impending pregnancy, remember, Swoopes has an 8-year-old son

2. Ed Asner. (40-1) If you look closely, he was checking out Murray all those years ago. It's possible, but not probable.

3. Leonard Nimoy (50-1). Man, that must've been some trip through space. I hear he had a pointy-ear fetish. The Vulcan death pinch was his version of the date-rape drug.

4. The father from the family guy (2-1). Could be the most overrated show in TV history, but it certainly appears as if the dude has a set of nuts on his chin every moment of the day.

5. Bugs Bunny (6-1). Seemed he was dressing up like a lady an awfully lot.

This of course is all in jest, but really, who gives a sh-t what these people do? If you found out tomorrow Michael Jordan was gay (just using this as an example) would it diminish what he did on the basketball court? Of course not? So again, who CARES.

This, of course, is not a prelude to me coming out, but just my thoughts on how screwed up this country is when it comes to people's personal lives.

By the way, if you're wondering why I'm linking all these photos it's because - for some reason -I can't paste them on here anymore.
