Former co-star Sally Kirkland on McConaughey's "bro-mance" with Lance...

edtv_cast1.jpgHad a great chat with actress Sally Kirkland last night at the Egyptian Theater for the premiere of the comedy "Coffee Date" and couldn't help but ask her about Matthew McConaughey who played her son in the Ron Howard-directed "EdTV." Sally, an Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner for 1987's "Anna," is never one to give a boring answer.
"I had the toughest time not *****ing in my pants. He would look at me with those bedroom eyes and I'd say, 'How am i going to be your mother? You've got to stop this! I'm your mother! And he'd just look at me like he's undressing me the whole shoot. I died. I love Matthew, he's a doll. And he is a dreamboat and he knows his power over all the sexes."

So Sally, I ask, what about all this "bro-mance" stuff between Matthew and Lance Armstrong? In the current issue of Details magazine with Armstrong on the cover, Mathew jokes that "we tried it, decided it wasn't for us."
"I honestly think it's for publicity, that's my gut feeling," says Kirkland. "Matthew, he's a bad boy, he'll do anything to keep you guessing. Playing bongos in the nude? That's him!"

Sally, who has appeared in about 120 films, is one of the associate producers of "Coffee Date," a comedy that explore friendship between a straight man and a gay man. In the film, Sally's son is really straight, but everyone thinks he's gay because of a practical joke gone awry. The producers are hoping for a crossover success for the comedy which was written and directed by Stewart Wade and stars Jonathan Bray, Wilson Cruz, Jason Stuart, Jonathan Silverman and includes small and funny roles for Debbie Gibson and Leigh Taylor Young.

Kirkland has appeared in several gay-themed indies and says: "I love the gay community, the gay community loves me. I go where the love is. I love people who has suffered because then I can be myself, I don't have to pretend like I have it together because I don't really have it together. I'm just human."

The Details comments sounded like a half-baked attempt at damage control. My blind and long departed grandmother could see through them.
