3 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
There's an air of excitement in nerd paradise, the set on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, where the cast and crew of CBS' ensemble comedy The Big Bang Theory, hard at work on the next to last episode of the year, have only a week left before wrapping their fifth season. On this morning, on-screen roommates Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons, and their dork-posse Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are filming a scene in which they're being fitted for tuxedos for Howard's (Helberg) marriage to Bernadette (Melissa Rauch); co-stars Kaley Cuoco, Rauch and Mayim Bialik are

Michelangelo Signorile: The New Gay Celebrity Coming Out: 'I've Never Been In'
29 May 2012 7:16 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
For several years there were rumors about the sexual orientation of Anne Burrell, the popular spiky-haired star of Food Network's Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, but she'd not publicly acknowledged she is a lesbian. Then fellow Food Network star Ted Allen went on the "Derek and Romaine Show" on SiriusXM and innocently said that he had recently met Burrell's girlfriend.
Oops.
Suddenly, the revelation was out there. But days later, Burrell's publicist set the record straight, so to speak, and told The New York Post's Page Six: "Anne does not feel she was outed. She has made no secret of her relationship [with a woman]. It is no secret in the culinary world."
Perhaps not, but it certainly was a secret in the rest of the world, and, citing unnamed sources, Page Six claimed Burrell was even "alarmed" when she found out what Allen had done. But now that everyone knows, we're told by Burrell's publicist, »

PopWatch Planner: War arrives on 'Game of Thrones,' the return of Jon Stewart, and the MTV Movie Awards
27 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
All season, HBO has been pointing towards tonight’s Game of Thrones with promos promising, “War is Coming.” Well, the Battle of the Blackwater commences tonight with an episode written by George R.R. Martin himself. I can’t decide whether this specific show’s timing — on Memorial Day weekend — is forgivably unfortunate or somehow appropriate, but it seems at home during a weekend of classic war films that’s then followed by a star-studded trip back to the Spanish Civil War and a reimagining of the Snow White fairy tale that almost looks influenced by Thrones.

They're The Same Age?!
26 May 2012 9:36 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
What do a boy genius and a silent film star have in common? They're both 39!
Maybe it's because of his small screen character's unbelievable intelligence yet incredible naivety that we thought Jim Parsons was barely pushing 25. But, in fact, "The Big Bang Theory" star is the same age as sage and silent "The Artist" actor, Jean Dujardin.
Both of these accomplished actors -- Parsons has two Emmys and Dujardin an Oscar -- are pushing the big 4-0.
But these two leading male actors aren't the only ones who surprised us when we learned they shared the same age. "Jersey Shore" guidette Snooki and soul-baring singer Adele are both 24; Marky Mark Wahlberg and "Revenge" star Gabriel Mann are both 40; and aftershave aficionado Macaulay Culkin and legs-for-days Gisele Bundchen are both 31.
Check out these same age celebs below. Which pairing is the most shocking?

Jim Parsons Gay / Harvey / The Normal Heart
24 May 2012 9:42 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jim Parsons gay? Well, as per the New York Times, yes, the Big Bang Theory actor "is gay and in a 10-year relationship." No more details are given out. No explanations as to why the Times made a point of outing Parsons, who says nothing about his private life or sexual orientation during an interview focusing on a Broadway revival of Harvey in which Parsons stars in the old James Stewart movie role of the, huh, eccentric bachelor whose pal is a big rabbit (Harvey) that only he can see. In addition to his stage work, the Houston-born, 39-year-old Parsons has been seen in movies and on television since 2002. His TV breakthrough was, of course, The Big Bang Theory, which has earned him two Emmys and a Golden Globe. On the big screen, Jim Parsons hasn’t made much of a mark yet, as he has almost invariably been cast in minor supporting roles. »

After years of keeping her sexual identity behind closed doors, Queen Latifah admitted the Lgbt people are her 'peeps' during a show at the 2012 Long Beach Pride.

"Y’all my peeps (people)," she said, referring to the Lgbt community. "I love you!" The Queen performed to a crowd of about 1,000 people for more than an hour, telling them to "keep your support system tight" and also warning about keeping safe from STDs. “Thank you to all my favorite peep guests who came out to support me. I appreciate it. I love you so much. Hope you had a beautiful time," she said. "Y’all be safe whatever y’all get into tonight. Boys –- strap it up. »

Elton John was hospitalized Wednesday morning for a respiratory infection, says TMZ. After undergoing multiple tests at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Hospital, doctors recommended that the singer take a week off from performing. As a result, he was forced to cancel four upcoming concerts in Las Vegas.

There was a big surprise on last night's American Idol finale, but it had nothing to do with who won the competition. Idol alums Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo got engaged on stage during the telecast Wednesday night. Young told People that he called producer Nigel Lythgoe last week to arrange the surprise proposal.
Less surprising was the fact that Phillip Phillips won the microphone trophy. This makes the fifth time in a row for a pretty-eyed, white boy, singer/songwriter type to win the competition.

Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons Comes Out … Or Has Been Out Forever
23 May 2012 3:14 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
In the 33rd paragraph of a New York Times theater profile of Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons, this little sentence appears: “The Normal Heart resonated with him on a few levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment, he said.” It’s stated as a simple fact, nestled among observations of how the actor is playing a part made famous by Jimmy Stewart in the Broadway revival of Harvey. But this afternoon, Us Weekly picked up on that little sentence and brought it to everyone’s attention. And sure enough, within an hour, everyone was blogging, “Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory is gay!”
Now, we’re not really obsessed with the personal lives of the stars of the CBS sitcom (though I did once see Johnny Galecki’s penis … in a play!), but all it took »

New York Times Columnist Outs Jim Parsons As Gay

Actor Jim Parsons has been outed in a New York Times profile piece.
The Emmy Award and Golden Globe-winning The Big Bang Theory star, 39, has previously skirted around long-running rumours about his sexuality, but, as he promotes his upcoming star turn in Broadway production Harvey, the TV star sat down for an interview with Times columnist Patrick Healy - and reportedly divulged his true identity.
Although no direct quotes were included in the article, Healy writes: "Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship."
Healy stops short of identifying the actor's partner in the lengthy article, which focuses mostly on his past and present stage work.

'The Big Bang Theory' star Jim Parsons: I'm gay
23 May 2012 2:40 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
"The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons has come out as gay, via a New York Times story that pretty casually mentions his sexuality.
In a profile of the Emmy-winning actor published Wednesday (May 23), the Times writes, "Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship." Zap2it reached out to Parsons' publicist for comment but hasn't heard back.
The line is part of a story about Parsons readying for the June 14 Broadway opening of "Harvey." In the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, he will play Elwood P. Dowd, a mild-mannered man with an invisible friend, a 6-foot-tall rabbit. The play was adapted into a 1950 film that earned Jimmy Stewart an Academy Award nomination.
As far as any comparisons between his performance and Stewart's, Parsons is realistic. "People may not like me as Elwood, people may say 'I enjoyed Jimmy Stewart more' ... There's nothing I can do about that. But I have »
