Top Gun star Kelly McGillis says she's a lesbian.

[edbermac]

OH MY GAWD! What is Tom Cruise going to think?

[HopeHoops]

1. Um, the link is from FOX...

They probably made it up because she didn't publicly denounce gay marriage.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. No, she actually came out in a non-fox interview

[HopeHoops]

12. Oh, so there is a NEWS source then.

FOX, of course, isn't news.

[arcadian]

22. I hate to defend FOXNews but you are kinda wrong on this.

Their stories have to be sourced just like any other news agency. It's just that their editorial and the actual stories that they choose to do are slanted to the extreme right. That plus the news readers interject with their own right slanted bullshit. If they just made shit up, they would have been shut down years ago.

[MajorChode]

33. Who exactly whould "shut (them) down"?

News outlets are pretty much free to publish whatever they want. The difference is mainstream media outlets are more concerned with their credibility so they do things like hire an ombudsman to insure fairness and accuracy. The reason why their audience tunes in is because they do have credibility.

The people who tend to watch FNC could really give a shit about fairness and accuracy, so they really have no obligation towards that end and in fact, the reason FNC has achieved niche status is exactly because they don't give a shit about fairness and accuracy. FNC's dishonest extends well beyond editorial discretion. They assign people like Geraldo Rivera to go out and gather their "news" for them. That alone should tell you something.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

2. I remember those rumors about Kelly and --

Jody Foster having an affair during "The Accused" -- maybe they were right. :)

[Blue_Tires]

20. awww man...you could not even put a price on any videotape that might exist...

[rcrush]

3. hawt

[Nicole Lambeth]

4. I'm thinking Tom Cruise wishes he had the balls to come out himself n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

15. Tom Cruise is NOT gay, so stop saying that !1!1!!!!

He's completely straight. He just has gay Thetans. :crazy:

[LeftyMom]

5. So that may have been the first mainstream movie where both of the leads were gay.

Oh wait, Tom's straight. :eyes:

[flvegan]

6. I'd like to see her prove that.

[LeftyMom]

8. You're kind of a douche, you know that?

It's a good thing you're hot.

[sasquatch]

31. Don't you have 80 some odd cats to feed?

:P

[Jamastiene]

24. My first thought was "FRESH MEAT!"

:evilgrin:

[MrScorpio]

9. Tell me something that I don't already know...

http://www.clublez.com/movies/lesbian_celebrities/m/mcgillis_kelly/index.html

[ThomCat]

10. It proves she's a good actor.

She was faking her interest in Tom Cruz. He was faking his interest in her. I think she did a better job of it.

:P

[petronius]

11. It's not really a positive statement on her career when 'Top Gun' is her

main claim to fame. Still, I guess that's the best way for the Faux audience to remember her (heck, the average faux reader/viewer probably thinks TG was a documentary)...

[CreekDog]

13. I guess it's good that John Book went back to Philly

it never would have worked out. :eyes:

[WCGreen]

14. See what Tom Cruise does women...

[Jamastiene]

26. Normally, I'd disagree, but in this case...

Tom Cruise even makes me want to jump species. :puke:

[SoxFan]

30. I think that's one of his religious beliefs

[motely36]

16. It's about time!

I've know her for about 5 years casually. Knew her girlfriends also.

[moez]

17. Thank God

she waited to jump ship until she looked like this...

[suninvited]

18. You mean older?

She doesnt look that much different now, except older and short hair. Her face is almost the same.

[moez]

21. Doesn't look that much different?!

You've gotta be kidding me.

[Deja Q]

19. I don't understand.

She waited to come out until she "looked like this", which implies age or ugliness or something in our plastic fantastic 16~25 so-called society?

[no name no slogan]

25. Yes, Allah forbid people get old. Or even worse, look their age.

:eyes:

[moez]

27. She's only 51!

She's just really let herself go...

[Zavulon]

34. Time hasn't treated her well, I'll grant you that.

She looks a lot older than 51 in that picture, anyway. I know it's PC to rush out and claim that aging is beautiful, everyone is beautiful, fat people are beautiful and so on, but time has slapped around that woman severely.

Then again, as good as she looked in top gun it was hard to notice, what with that movie being as corny and bad as it was. I'd rather cover the next Republican National Convention from open to close than watch that cliche-filled garbage even one more time.

[redqueen]

43. Does she? Or are people just used to seeing surguried hollywood stars?

Either way... time for another break from this place.

Fucking annoying.


Not just this subthread... some of the comments upthread too. :puke:

[Zavulon]

47. Yes, she does.

If it picks you up any, I found your post "fucking annoying," too.

Enjoy your break. :eyes:

[redqueen]

54. Nope... it just makes me wonder how old you are.

And don't worry, I will.

[Zavulon]

59. I'm 45. (NT)

[KitchenWitch]

37. I only wish I can look half that good at 51

I am 45 now, and I would say I probably look older than she does.

38. You better hope that the years will be kind to you.

Since you are so unkind to aging people.

[cwydro]

42. Exactly...

and really that is just a bad pic of her.

Plenty of us have had bad pics taken through the years.

[SammyWinstonJack]

44. According to his profile, he's a Notorious Playboy and International Bon Vivant.

:eyes:

So yes, he better hope that the years are kind to him. :evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

50. WTF is wrong with you??? She looks great

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. Are you trying for the coveted Most Ignorant Comment Award, or what?

:eyes:

[cwydro]

36. He must be. nt

41. Still looks pretty good, I'd say

The most unattractive thing about her IMO is her choice to appear in several low-end science-fiction crap-busters.

[lunatica]

46. And your point is what?

She's aged, and I believe she's done it beautifully. Obviously you're offended, but then you're pretty offensive so it all evens out.

[Amaya]

48. i'm sure you're perfect looking

post of pic of yourself....

53. Glad you said it,

because I was sure thinking it.:applause:

[redqueen]

55. I'm sorry I missed it.

Something tells me it was most likely less offensive than lots of other posts on this thread.

But oh well.

[cwydro]

56. Yes, it was in response

to one of the more repulsive comments against women of a certain age.

[Left Is Write]

60. I see you have perfected the art of assholery.

[Pierre.Suave]

23. So?

:shrug:

[Deep13]

28. Local courtroom star Deep13 says he's fat.

just sayin'.

[cwydro]

35. This comes as no surprise to those of us in Key West.

She lived down here for years and it was common knowledge.

The annual women's flag football tournament is named for her.

[no name no slogan]

39. Flag football tournament?

What next, a memorial softball diamond?

[cwydro]

40. Nah,

it's actually a really big tourney...women come from Europe and all over the US.

A week long party.

And these women take their footbal serious, believe me.

[underpants]

45. Top Gun is sooooo gay

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHklGtW3rwU

[Maccagirl]

49. What's up with the almost universal Cruise-hate around here?

Did he do something personally to a DUer that I'm unaware of. Even if the thread isn't about him it eventually disintegrates into a hate-fest.

[ForrestGump]

58. Good question

Perhaps it's the wacko-Scientologist thing. I find Scientology pretty disgusting, not least because it's such a patently obvious scam (I mean far more so, and intended to be so from the very start, than what most people would call 'religion') but I can separate a person's works from their weirdness easily enough -- if that weren't so, I could never watch the work of sadly deranged religious maniac Mel Gibson or far-right neanderthals Robert Duvall and James Woods, and I'd be missing out on some quality work in doing so. Besides, there seem to be a few Scientologist celebrities who're both talented and apparently decent people: the late Isaac Hayes and John Travolta leap to mind.

Tom Cruise can be very stilted and one-dimensional as an actor (then again, so can many of the greats -- Brando and Olivier included, when they're just phoning it in for the paycheck) but, with the right property and the right director, he can be very good. The most recent film I saw him in was Valkyrie and I was very pleasantly surprised not just by the job he did but the overall quality of the production and the most surprising thing of all: a high degree of historical veracity. And I think the best thing about the great and eminently-rewatchable Tropic Thunder was Robert Downey, Jr, but Cruise was great in that wacky role he had. He's done a few very interesting and challenging roles that are worthy and he DOESN'T always play essentially the same character. To name a few, off the top of my head, he was very good in Rain Man, Born On The Fourth Of July, Magnolia (I barely remember it, remembering mostly that it seemed very weird, but I recall thinking it was a good part for him), Collateral, Vanilla Sky (yeah, STILL trying to figure out parts of that movie -- Cameron Crowe is brilliant, but definitely 'unique'), and a few others. I thought he was pretty decent in War Of The Worlds, too, and although I really like The Last Samurai I thought his character or his characterization (or both) was a little one-note and not especially interesting, but that really did turn out to be Ken Watanabe's film (and a great job HE did!).

Anyway, I'm not a huge Cruise fan, or a booster, but I think it's typical of DU for all the hipsters to pile on to negative comments made about people like him, valid or not. He may be a space cadet, personally, but he's brought some worthy roles to the screen over the years. That's all that should really matter, in the end.

Val Kilmer's Iceman in that gay-interest pilot movie (Brokeback Carrier?), small a part as it may have been, was WAY more interesting than Maverick, though...

[madrchsod]

57. i thought everyone knew that....

that`s been known/hinted at for years....

[jumptheshadow]

61. Yes, she was clobbered because of her orientation

She used to hang out with friends of friends and it was a known fact she was gay. Then came "Top Gun" and the career pressure to conform with narrow stereotypes and the marriage and the kids. But I always figured she had been hurt by the rumors. And in those days, certain rumors could kill careers. I am happy to see that she has worked things out, now I hope she nails a good part or two.
