Sean Hayes is a very private person, and when you see him in public with a woman, she is just a friend. It's been going on in Hollywood for years. Rock Hudson had male lovers, but the studios would have beautiful dates accompany him to various events. Some of the stars only come out when they're on the verge of being outed, like Lance Bass. There were pics of Chad Allen in a tabloid years ago which caused him to publicly acknowledge that he is gay. Sean Hayes has every right to keep his private life private, but the tabloids are watching and waiting to find their next victim.
Being a huge fan of Kevin Spacey's for years - and having seen him live in person in NY (on Broadway) - honestly, my gaydar does not go off around him. I know many people say he's gay but I personally think he is straight. Just my humble opinion. I know most of you will disagree with me, and that's fine. I don't really care one way or another - he's an incredible actor. In many ways, I think his relationship is his career and when someone is like that and doesn't have time to date, speculations are made about them which may not be true.
Also, he NEVER did a porn video. If he had, trust me, I would have been ALL OVER that one LONG ago!
RE: Your comment about Russell Crowe:
He played a gay guy convincingly in one of his first movies filmed in Australia. It was about a gay guy living with a father who was about to die. Just proves that actors can be convincing if they can act.
I disagree. I know there's a lot of heated debate over this issue. Not to get heated here, but my feelings are...I agree, everyone is entitled to their privacy and no one should be forcibly outed.

Celebrities are excluded. They're paid vulgar amounts of money to do what most of us hardly consider to be "work". The price they pay for that privilege is that they become public property. That's their deal with the devil - their lives belong to the media, the paparazzi, & the public.
Sure - when celebs want the attention, they're fine with it. Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons will gladly invite cameras into their homes if they're getting paid to do a reality show. And fame addicts like Britney, & Lindsay, & Zanessa are thrilled by every click of the camera making them more & more infamous.
...But then when they want no part of it, they think they can just switch it off. Too bad. When You quit showbiz and get a job at a gas station, then You get to switch it off. Until then, Sean Penn does not get to spit at photographers, hotel heriesses do not get to drive drunk, and gay celebs like Sean Hayes (yes BTW, I'm convinced he is), Clay Aiken, Michael Jackson, etc. do not get to hide in the closet.
OK - rant over. :biggrin1:

well my tuppence for all its worth- is Sean is an excellent actor, loved him in W&G, and the last I heard he never would publicly declare his sexuality, which kind of put me off him a bit. My feeling was that he was a traitor to his sexuality, gay OR straight- by not just simply being honest. His acting stands for itself, sure didnt rely on his sexual preference imho....
I disagree with this entirely. They are NOT public commodities. They are not public property. We don't pay taxes on them. They're not government officials. We don't own them. They are private people working in a private industry. No one forces you to watch them or what they produce. They are no different than anyone clocking in for a 9 to 5 job.
Just because someone gets paid more than you do does not give anyone the right to intrude on their private lives for some vicarious thrill.
If you don't think acting is work, you've never listened to any actor/actress who has been interviewed telling us what they went through to get the job, keep the job, work hard at the job. Professional actors devote more than a standard 40 hour work week for what they produce.
Everyone has the right to keep their private lives private and if you can't respect that, it shows what type of person you are.
