Heartthrobs: January 2007 Archives

After a day plagued by a breakdown in our blogging system, I'm so happy to be able to resume posting with this item! Brian Juergens reports on AfterElton.com blog today that Ryan Reynolds, the wonderfully talented and wonderfully HOT Ryan Reynolds, plays gay in one of his three roles in "The Nines" which recently screened at Sundance. The movie is three stories with the same actors playing different roles in each. In Story 2, Reynolds plays a gay television executive and apparently treats fans to a pretty hot shower scene. The film is written and directed by John August who wrote "Go."
Reynolds has a huge gay fan following but unless I'm wrong, the gayest he ever got on screen was the cameo in the "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" movie. And in "Buying the Cow," in which he wears precious little in a scene where he thinks he's slept with a man after waking up next to him.
Anyway, cannot wait to see "The Nines."
P.S. The pic I posted has nothing to do with "The Nines." But it's lovely, don't ya think? It's an Out In Hollywood policy to post shirtless pics of Ryan Reynolds whenever possible - as long as there's a news hook!

\Something tells me Perez Hilton is gonna have a field day with this but here goes: "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller is seeking to dispell persistent rumors about his sexuality. But his comments are far different from what we heard from T.R. Knight, Neil Patrick Harris and Lance Bass:

According to Towleroad.com, he told the Australian Associated Press: "No, I'm not gay. I know these rumours are out there ... I'm cool with the fact that they exist, I mean this is about fantasy. Certain people are going to have certain fantasies, if someone wants to imagine me with a woman, or a man or one of each that's cool with me as long as you keep watching the show."

He also says the trappings of fame take a bit of getting used to: "What happens to your identity, to the perception of who you are on this journey is a strange one," he said while on his first visit down under. There's this kind of star struck dynamic, I guess that's why they invented that word to describe that moment when a fan comes running up to you and they're so excited to see you. (But) inevitably there's this moment, where the shoe drops and they realise they have no idea who you are. I guess it's that strangeness, the identification with an actor, with a character, (and) the reality that you don't really know them at all which is kind of hard to wrap your head around."
