I think I'm a little brain dead lately. I was watching "The View" last Friday when the gals were talking about the speculation regarding Hugh Jackman's sexuality. I heard the whole thing but didn't write any of it down and didn't think to blog about it. But others did and so I bring this item to you several days late with my apologies for not being more on the ball.
The discussion stemmed from a conversation about when a man is far better looking than his wife, there is speculation that she must be his "beard." After all, we know an ugly toad like Donald Trump can get a pretty wife because he's got all that money.
AfterElton.com editor Michael Jensen provided a transcript on his blog earlier today:

Joy Behar: What happens when a beautiful man marries a sort of unattractive woman? Then you have dilemma. People will really talk. They think he's gay. This is what happens.
Barbara Walters: Really?
Joy: Oh, yeah. I was reading in the article that we're reading that Hugh Jackman, who is a very handsome guy, people always think he's gay because his wife looks like the rest of us.
Barbara: That's not true. First of all, his wife is very attractive. I think people--
Joy: Not in his level. He's like Sex Man.
Barbara: I think a lot of people thought was gay because he was doing The Boy From Oz which was about Peter--
Joy: He wasn't "doing" the boy from Oz. He was playing in it. This is making Hugh Jackman's life more miserable.
Barbara: He was playing the role of Peter...Peter Allen who was gay. So people thought he must be gay because he was...[Deborra-Lee Furness is] very good looking and it's a very good marriage.

Barbara can be such a suck up sometimes! How does she know if the marriage is good or that Jackman is not actually with his male business partner as is often speculated about?
