"Shakespearean actor Sir Ian McKellen, 72, announces in a New York newspaper that there’s ‘no doubt’ William Shakespeare was gay and this is evident in the bard’s work.
"Sir Ian reflects: ‘I’d say Shakespeare slept with men. The Merchant of Venice, centering on how the world treats gays as well as Jews, has a love triangle between an older man, younger man and a woman.
"'And the complexity in his comedies with cross-dressing and disguises is immense. Shakespeare obviously enjoyed sex with men as well as women.’ "Obviously? Discuss.
"When his daughter Kathlyn endured a gender re-assignment operation to become a man, Stephen, once frisky Hollywood star Warren Beatty was reported to be distraught while mother Annette Bening took the issue in her stride.
"But Beatty now seems to have come to terms with the matter, toasting the bravery of Kathlyn/Stephen at a family dinner in Hollywood’s Il Covo restaurant.
"Having forgotten Colin Firth got a CBE in June, 2011, I expressed surprise that he didn’t get a knighthood in the New Year’s Honours List, despite being widely tipped for one.
"There’s often a gap of a few years between a CBE and a knighthood. Actors Alec Guinness, Ben Kingsley and Anthony Hopkins all got CBEs before their ‘K’. But sometimes the honours stop at a CBE. So Colin can’t rest on his laurels.
"Glamo rous broadcaster Selina Scott has withdrawn a photograph of the naked Michael Winner from the website which promotes socks she makes from the hair of rescued goats, finding it ‘bad for business’"
"Winner sent Ms Scott a snap of himself, sitting cross-legged, saying, ‘Dear Selina, I wear nothing but your socks.’
"Ms Scott reports: ‘Customers said they found the sight of a naked Winner so horrific and begged me to remove it that I had to take the old gargoyle off. Since then business has boomed.’ I dread to think what he’ll now send Selina in retaliation.
"Asked for a prediction for 2012, Labour’s London Mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone tells Time Out: ‘I will have been elected Mayor, and crowds will be dancing in the streets, cheering and having sex – much like at the end of World War II.’"
The Daily Mail.
WTF are you wibbling on about?
I think this may be a resigning issue.
Or a sign of your meltdown.
You couldn't make it up etc etc.
