Taylor Momsen Doesn’t Use Her Sexuality to Shock

Taylor Momsen insists she doesn't use her sexuality to shock.
The 20-year-old singer posed naked for the front cover of her band The Pretty Reckless' upcoming album Going To Hell record, causing a storm on social media when she posted the artwork. On the LP sleeve Taylor is seen showing off her back which has a giant cross emblazoned on it with an arrow pointing to her bare bottom, but she is adamant the risque pose is artistically motivated.
"Everyone was like, 'Woah, she's naked.' But everything I do has an artistic purpose behind it, from clothing to my new record cover. I don't set out to shock - I've definitely matured and evolved. I'm just a person, I make art. My sexuality is there for a reason it's not just about lewdness," she said.
The former Gossip Girl actress admits she was perplexed by her sexuality in her teens but used clothes and fashion to learn about herself. "In the beginning it was me in corsets and stripper heels and all that - I was a kid, everyone thought it was so shocking because I was young and you have to be older to wear that stuff. I was a kid confused about sexuality and all of that and expressing that confusion in all of it. I think all teenagers express themselves in that way, I was just being very overt about it," she explained.

We've all beared witness to Miley Cyrus' wild antics on stage and among paparazzi photos, but an insider close to the singer says that she's more experimental behind closed doors.
Since her split from fiance Liam Hemsworth in September, the "Adore You" singer has been experiencing the single life to the fullest. "She’s been experimenting with women and even brags that she’s had threesomes," one source close to Cyrus said.
Cyrus has recently been linked to Twilight actor Kellan Lutz and her producer, Mike WILL Made It. An insider, however, says that Cyrus isn't limited in the gender of her romantic partners, claiming that the 21-year-old "is definitely bisexual. She has women over to her house all the time and hooks up with them. Lately she is more interested in women than men. She was completely brokenhearted after Liam and is kind of over men for the time being. I wouldn't be surprised if a woman came out and said she has hooked up with her soon."
Miley is expected to perform tonight in Times Square for the famous New Year's Eve Ball Drop.

George Clooney finds gay rumors about himself amusing.
The Monuments Men actor - who split from Stacy Keibler in July - has learned to laugh off rumors propagated by the internet about his sexuality because he doesn't want to offend the gay community by making a public denial.
Recalling the most exaggerated rumor he's ever read, he told the new UK issue of Esquire magazine, "[A headline read] 'George Clooney's gay-gay-gay.' And I said, 'I'm gay-gay. The third one's pushing it.' Well now, [according to the internet] I'm gay. You're not going [to deny it] because that's flat out insulting to the gay community."
The 52-year-old star also joked about one memorable TV appearance when he was asked whether he had ever had plastic surgery and he replied he had once ironed his testicles. "So now, long after I'm dead it'll be, 'George Clooney had his balls ironed.'" he moaned.

Ricky Martin Wishes He Could Come Out Again

Ricky Martin wishes he could come out as homosexual again.
The "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer claims he was initially terrified at how his peers would react to the news - after keeping his sexuality a secret until he was 38 - but claims the experience was extremely liberating and he longs to relive it a second time.
"I was terrified. I had to really work on my self esteem to understand that it's all about self love, and other people's opinions weren't what was important. What WAS important was accepting myself exactly as I am, as I was born. I insist, it wasn't easy, but wow, I wish I could come out again because it felt like I could 'high five' God [sic]," he said, speaking during a Facebook chat with fans.
The 41-year-old singer also said he was a keen supporter of Miley Cyrus and suggested the star's wild antics are a reflection of her growing up in the music industry: "I LOVE MILEY! #TEAMMILEY all the way. She's a young woman living the moment with music...i wish her nothing but the best [sic]."

Portia de Rossi Struggled to Understand Her Sexuality
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Features,
Portia de Rossi "didn't want" to be a lesbian.
The 40-year-old actress was very nervous about publicly coming out, something she did in 2005, because she always thought that being gay was "strange" and also because she didn't know any famous women who were openly lesbians. In a revealing interview on The Conversation With Amanda De Cadenet, she said, "I just didn't want to be a lesbian. I'd never met one for a start and I just thought they were strange and that they hated men and they were very serious and I had these ridiculous images in my head and there were no out celebrities or politicians or anybody that I could look to and go, 'Oh, I could be like that.' There was nobody that I could say, 'I could date her and I want to be like her.' I just kind of thought I don't want to live like this. I don't have to, I don't need to, I just shut down the emotional life."
Not coming out had a very negative effect on Portia's life. The actress battled different eating disorders while she was starring in Ally McBeal from 1998 to 2002, and she believes they were symptoms of her hiding her sexuality. "The thing that kept me company was my eating disorder. It was like a lover, it was like somebody who never ever left me. Like a thought that would always keep me excited, interested and focused. It's adrenaline," she explained.

Kerry Washington Not Offended by Gay Rumors

Kerry Washington wasn't offended by rumors she was a lesbian.
The Scandal star, who is expecting her first child with her NFL star husband of four months, Nnamdi Asomugha, believes the speculation about her sexuality stemmed from the fact she rarely talks about her personal life.
"It's interesting how much people long to fill in the gaps when someone in the public eye doesn't share their personal life. I understand their frustration. I like how people will post pictures of me with other women that I adore, hugging on red carpets, and say, 'See?' Are we so uncomfortable with love between two people of the same gender that we immediately label it as sexual? But I've never been bothered by the lesbian rumor. There's nothing offensive about it, so there's no reason to be offended," the 36-year-old actress told The Advocate magazine.
