KELLY MCGILLIS COMES OUT AS A LESBIAN

Image
Hollywood actress Kelly McGillis has reportedly confirmed that she is a lesbian. The former Top Gun stars sexuality has been the subject of gossip throughout her career, but she repeatedly denied the rumors that she was gay. According to Radar Online, she says, "I'm done with the man thing. I did that, I need to move on in life. That's another part of being true to yourself ... that's been a challenge for me personally. "I think that (accepting my homosexuality) was an ongoing process from the time I was about 12. I had a lot of things happened that convinced me that God was punishing me for being gay. That was a hard process."

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS DENIES REHAB

Image
Sexy Jonathan Rhys Meyers has put an end to all the media gossip that he recently checked into rehab, insisting his party animal reputation is completely exaggerated by the press. The Hollywood star made the headlines wordwide in February after it was alleged he had enrolled in a rehab center in England to deal with an addiction to alcohol. He sparked even more rumors by canceling scheduled appearances on television at the start of April and failing to show up at two galas in Los Angeles California and Dublin, where he was due to collect awards for his work. But now Jonathan is denying he was in rehab but is admitting he did spend time with a counselor in Middlesex, England. He say's, "I just felt I needed time off and I didn't need to go to awards ceremonies. You can get slightly waylaid as an actor doing that sort of thing and I'm never that comfortable at them anyway." The Tudors star is also adamant that reports of his outrageous behavior are overblown, insis

KATE WINSLET FEELS SORRY FOR YOUNG STARS

Image
Hollywood superstar Kate Winslet is relieved she found fame in the 1990s, because young actresses today face more intense media attention now, than she ever did. The actress shot to worldwide stardom alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997's "Titanic". Kate pities those just starting out in Hollywood, because she's convinced they face even more judgment about their looks and their personal lives. She tells Marie Claire magazine, "It's really, really tough. It's like, 'She's fat, she's thin, she's married, she's divorced.' I had all that and bouncing back is [bleeping] hard. "I'm really, really happy I'm not a younger actor or actress working now because they have to run before they can walk." Photo By: Sara De Boer/Retna

TYRA BANKS STALKER CONVICTED IN NEW YORK

Image
The man who told police he and Tyra Banks "had a thing together" was convicted Today of stalking the television host. Brady Green of Georgia, was convicted by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke, who heard the case without a jury, of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment. Burke handed down his verdict the day after Banks testified that she feared for her safety. The judge said he found that Green had been "hounding" Banks. However, Burke said he would not send Green to jail. He told defense lawyer Jeffrey Berman to help his client get psychiatric counseling and a job in "a location where he can thrive." That "likely will not be the city of New York," the judge said. Berman said he was disappointed with the verdict and planned an appeal but was glad the judge did not send Green to jail. Banks testified yesterday that she feared for her safety, and for that of her staff and family. Authorities said Green

CHRIS GILMAN'S PHOENIX RISES AT TOLOACHE

**** TOLOACHE 251 West 50th Street New York City **** ToloacheNYC.com **** Toloache Restaurant One of the smartest, most eloquent, and fun people we've ever run across here at Times Square has been CHRIS GILMAN -- for his years as Palm West's GM and now, as one of the partners of the just oh-so fabulous TOLOACHE (toh-lo-AH-tchay) on 50th street (two-story, 104-seats) ... ironically enough, diagonally across from his old haunt. While we won't and can't get into specifics on why Gilman left his old spot last year (as there are still some outstanding issues pending), let's say that he left there as one of the most important resources in the restaurant business. To have his Rolodex and celebrity contacts, certain folks out there would literally kill for! We've been lucky enough to share with him many, many fantastic nights at the old spot with the likes of PATTI LaBELLE, JOYCE RANDOLPH, MICKY DOLENZ, DEBORAH GIBSON, CINDY ADAMS, ROBERT FUNARO, DAVID SALIDOR, GILBERT

Sean Penn Nasty Hollywood loser Sean Penn has filed for legal separation from his wife of 13 years, Robin Wright Penn. News of the breakup comes just two days after the couple's 13th wedding anniversary, and just months after they reunited again. Penn originally filed for divorce back in 2007. Penn first sparked gossip of another split when he failed to mention Wright Penn during his Best Actor acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in February. Then last month, he was rumored to be romancing much younger actress Natalie Portman. Those reports were denied by sources close to Penn, but on Friday he filed court documents to make their separation official, according to ExtraTV.com. Photo By: Sara De Boer/Retna

He was treated for mild brain trauma and a fractured skull at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and was moved out of the intensive care unit (ICU) on Tuesday. Aldridge was able to get out of his hospital bed and walk around on Tuesday for the first time since the accident. A source tells People.com , "He came out of ICU.

Aldridge was one of three people injured in the incident when they were thrown from the vehicle as it flipped over. Two other passengers escaped unscathed. Police have hit Aldridge
