David Hyde Pierce Admits to His Sexuality
I believe it was David Hyde Pierce who, when once asked about his sexuality, said, “My life is an open book, but don’t expect me to read it to you.” That was a good answer – I mean, I think we all knew the answer, but this week, David officially allowed his partner’s name to be mentioned. An interview online at CNN.com has the line “Pierce got to Los Angeles in the early 1990s when his partner, actor-writer-producer Brian Hargrove wanted to write for television.” Now some might still say that is a bit vague, given other stars like Lance Bass and “Grey’s Anatomy” star T.J. Knight publicly coming out with their “Yes, I’m gay” statements. But, Pierce’s representative has since confirmed that Hargrove is indeed his partner.
Paula’s Leaked Phone Call
Speaking of those who represent the starts, someone leaked a phone call between Paula Abdul and her representatives and she is none too happy about it. Paula has stated that she was “deeply hurt and extremely disappointed” that this private conversation was made public. What was the conversation about? Paula was crying and saying, “I’ve never been treated this way and I’ve never seen anybody treated this way.” The phone call, which of course has already made it to YouTube, also mentions some health problems Paula has experienced.
Pax’s Name Officially Changed to Jolie-Pitt
I wondered when Mama Angelina adopted her latest son, Pax, why his name was listed Pax Thien Jolie. Could there be trouble in Jolie-Pitt Land? As it turns out, the answer is no. Pax was adopted from Vietnam and their laws make it very hard for an unmarried couple to adopt. Jolie simply adopted Pax on her own and in April, requested that his name be officially changed. A Santa Monica court approved that request yesterday. Pax now joins his brother Maddox and sisters Zahara and Shiloh in sharing the hyphenated last name of Jolie-Pitt.
