Speaking to Andy Cohen this week, Rosie O’Donnell made claims Whitney Houston was part of a secret group of famous lesbians.
She also claims she knew Houston and her personal assistant Robyn Crawford were a couple.
I knew that they were together. I was friends with a lot of very athletic older lesbian women who were in the WNBA – all these basketball playing women.
I knew that, I knew it for a very long time. Everyone sort of knew it.
So I thought it was very surprising when Clive Davis came out and said he never discussed her being gay.
I don’t believe that for one minute.”
Rumours of Houston’s sexuality have circulated for decades, and in the recent docu-film Whitney: Can I Be Me claimed the singer was bisexual, but not out to the public.
Love Connection – hosted by the Emmy-winning Andy Cohen – is returning to Fox this week, and it promises to bring an updated format and with a new, queer-friendly twists.
The long-running series, which partners hopeful singles with three possible dates seeking a Love Connection, has never included same-sex contestants in more than a thousand episodes… Until now.
As you’ll see in the exclusive clip below, contestant Liz Baxter is all kinds of adorable and, like many of us, is looking for that special someone to share the rest of her life with. Did she find it on the show? And is one of her dates actually coming out on national television? Check it out…
Here’s an exclusive promo for this week’s episode of Love Connection:
Charlize Theron is currently promoting her new film Atomic Blonde, where she plays a bisexual MI6 spy named Lorraine Broughton.
However, appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she opened up about her own bisexual experiences.
Discussing the new film, Cohen had asked her if she had personally “swam in the lady pond”.
Theron replied:
Ooh! When I was young, yes. When you’re young you’re just kind of exploring it all. But it was pretty clear that I really like dudes.”
Asked about playing a bisexual character, she added:
Why not? It’s just so strange when we talk so much about it. It should be normalised by now. It’s something I feel is not represented enough in cinema… I feel that when you make movies, if you’re going to hold that mirror up and reflect society, then you should reflect society.”
I just loved it, for so many reasons. The first reason, she said, was her “frustration of how that community is represented in cinema, or lack thereof. And also, it made perfect sense. It just suited her. It just felt there was a way through that relationship and the fact that it was a same-sex relationship to show a woman not having to fall in love, which is one of those female tropes.
It’s a woman; she better fall in love – otherwise, she’s a whore!”
This isn’t the first time Theron has played a queer character. In 2003 she played real-life mass murderer Aileen Wuornos in the film Monster, which earned her the Best Actress awards at the Oscars and the Golden Globes.
