Derren Brown is out

[UnquietDad]

sorry, ladies!

(If this was news to anyone)

Trust the Sun to go for that most obvious headline!

Richard Chamberlain? Really?

soapbox - well, no, because people don't choose to come out as straight. Well, apart from Tom Robinson. Sort of.

Is Tom Robinson straight? (confused)

He married a woman and had kids with her, didn't he? Although he has yet to release a single called "Glad To be Straight".

My head is hurting now.

Liberace? Really? Nooooooo!

Erm no - they don't 'come out' as straight being my point - durr!

PMSL at 'glad to be straight' by the way.

Well, because Derren Brown, as I understand it, had a devoted female following and this is referred to in the article.

"Sing if you're glad to be straight
Sing if you're happy with fate..."

I'm sure it's crossed his mind!!

I think the legion of female fans may be all in his mind, tbh. Or the mind of some hacks desperate for a bloody story.

Ooh, UQD, just thought of one that will really shock you - Captain Jack Harkness!

Oh no, Captain Jask's tri-sexual - as in, he'll try anything.

sorry dont know who derren brown is! was it as big a suprise as alan cummings whom i have loved since the high life

I wish he'd try anything in my direction, UQD! Although not as John Barrowman, he's just too bloody chirpy, would do my head in.

yes, anyone else's entirely private worlds we wish to promote the gawping at??

Derren Brown's made a statement to the Sun - he's hardly demanding to be left alone with his private life.

yes edam and does it occur to you for a moment as to why this sort of 'statement' has to be made??

I'll save you the bother. Journos snoop around anyone from whom a grubby little story can be eeked. It's no choice to do this. It's necessity. Which doesn't make it a jolly thing at all..

but these schlebs invite and manipulate media attention it suits their planet sized egos. such interest maintains their profile

He seems an arrogant twat. He does my head in and I couldn't give a fuck if he is gay or striaght. Doesn't detract from his general wankiness.

Ooh, I dunno Pan, couldn't possibly guess. Tell you what, why don't you use that very big brain of yours to tell all us dunderheads exactly where we are going wrong?

I agree Pan, declarations of sexuality are usually to appease vultures and give a pound of flesh. ick.

Steady edam. See above. And don't label yourself so. I'm sure you could have worked it out for yourself.

Well, fuck me backwards, someone in showbiz is actually gay? Horror of horrors, how on earth did that happen?

FFS, it's hardly unusual, is it? And Derren Brown didn't actually make his living playing romantic leads.
