Blind Item (Possibly) Answered

This morning's Daily News blind item—on a divorced comic star exploring a "groovy" new persona as an openly gay man—was as obvious as they get. Some of you commenters told us that the guy we were all guessing, Mike Myers, star of the "groovy baby" catchphrase-apalooza Austin Powers films and the current dud The Love Guru, has been out 'n proud in Toronto for years. Fair enough. We're not sure why it is that the Daily News would bother featuring this as a "blind item" only to use such dead giveaway clues, other than that they it would be too gauche to "out" Myers, um, outright. Seems like a bit of nasty piling-on to Myer's already miserable Love Guru bomb of a weekend.

	If this is true why have we not heard it here? And I'm not talking rumors, if he is really 'out and proud' in Canada wouldn't there be pictures? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Even if The Love Guru wasn't a racist piece of crap with a pair of boobs posing as an "actress" for a co-star, that Entertainment Weekly article helped bury him. I believe he could have made about $20 mill this weekend, but EW turned a ton of people off from him. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	Seriously, does he not seem gay to everyone? I always thought he was gay. And even when he was married I thought she was a beard. He's swishy, guys! (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	Is he really out and proud? I think he's a douchebag. I heard an interview he did on NPR radio, he seems full of himself and way too willing to mock others to get a laugh. (Reply to this) (Thread)
