I like the way George Clooney addresses rumours of a Brokeback fling with Brad Pitt, whom he only sees a ‘few times a year.’ Using plain English and parroting what a few of you have said on my FB, he’s never really addressed it because it’s not a big deal nor would it be something to be ashamed of. ‘I think it’s funny, but the last thing you’ll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, ‘These are lies!’ That would be unfair and unkind to my good friends in the gay community,’ Clooney tells The Advocate. ‘I’m not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I’m very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I’m gay? I’ll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don’t give a sh*t.’ More of Clooney’s interview below.

Absent coke-bloat or the puffy lips, Anne Hathaway claims she’s more like the Lindsay Lohans of the world than people think. In a new interview, Hathaway recalls lessons from her mother. Although it would appear those lessons didn’t involve buying bras or deoderant or a mirror, or staying away from shenanigans.

According to reports, Whitney Houston’s death will be ruled accidental. E! Online claims the death was accidental rather than the result of deliberate action on the behalf of the star or any third-party. Moreover, notes a source, ‘she had no marks on her body whatsoever to indicate a struggle, she was the furthest thing from trying to kill herself.’ So the tabloid claims of suicide can be written off. The investigation is ongoing, pending the official results of the toxicology which could be back early as next week. In related news, despite claims they would not investigate the matter, Houston’s family has asked authorities to find the leak of the death photo. The image was taken of Houston in her casket at the funeral home. The home’s owner denounced the action taken inside the private, invite-only viewing and denied wrongdoing on behalf of herself and her staff.

Staff at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where Whitney Houston died while getting ready for the Clive Davis pre-Grammys party that went on without her, have reportedly been fired for blabbing to the press. Houston died over a week ago in room 434 of the hotel that was quickly reoccupied with new guests. After that, the Houston family had the room stripped of anything that could be sold as memorabilia. RadarOnline.com reports staff who spoke to the media were chastised, then fired: ‘The hotel employees that talked to the media were fired because they violated hotel policy,’ says a source. ‘They weren’t high level employees, but the hotel didn’t want anyone to talk about Whitney’s death.’
