Jay Leno apologizes for Gay remarks

Jay Leno (left picture) apologized for on-air remarks he made last month during an interview with Ryan Phillippe (right picture) that Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and others criticized. "In talking about Ryan's first role, I realize that what I said came out wrong," Leno said in a statement. "I certainly didn't mean any malice. I agree it was a dumb thing to say, and I apologize." The unfortunate request came because Phillippe, on the show to promote his new film Stop-Loss, got his acting break on One Life to Live playing daytime television’s first gay teen character. Leno riffed on the sexuality of the character, asking Phillippe to reenact his work by giving his "gayest look" to the camera. Phillippe tried to laugh it off, but Leno continued his misguided use of adolescent humor. The visibly flustered actor stood up and jokingly threatened to leave but stayed for the rest of the interview adding, "This may be my last visit." Watch a Stop-Loss trailer...

Stop-Loss starring Ryan Phillippe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rob Brown, Channing Tatum, Victor Rasuk, directed by Kimberly Peirce, already in theaters in the U.S., soon to be released in Europe.

McKellen on playing Gandalf & Gay rumors

Sir Ian McKellen looks set to reprise his role as Gandalf in the long-awaited adaptation of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit. When asked, in an email exchange with fans on his official website, if he will wear the wizard's robes again he said: "Yes I will, if Peter Jackson and I have anything to do with it, he being the producer and me being, on the whole a very lucky actor... Encouragingly, Peter and Fran Walsh have told me they couldn't imagine The Hobbit without their original Gandalf. Their confidence hasn't yet been confirmed by the director Guillermo del Toro but I am keeping my diary free for 2009!" A formal deal with McKellen has yet to be signed, but filming is set to begin next year. In the email exchange, a fan asks the 68-year-old actor about rumors of closeted homosexuality concerning his male co-stars, he answered: "This gossip is all news to me. Elijah, Dominic and Orlando introduced me to their girlfriends during shooting. I didn't ever meet Viggo's partner although his son visited a few times. It would seem that none of my friends can be accused of hypocrisy. Probably the fevered imagination of slashers is to blame. Hiding homosexuality is a long-tested shame in Hollywood and no doubt continues even in these days of gay marriage and gay civil partnerships. I agree that audiences are much less perturbed than producers allow, by a performer's sexuality. How else to explain the continuing popularity of George Michael, Elton John, Rupert Everett, Ellen de Generes and, excuse me, also the gay actor who played Gandalf?"

Gus Van Sant's Milk wrapped

"Milk" by Gus Van Sant had been filming all over San Francisco for eight weeks and wrapped Monday with a scene shot on a set on Treasure Island of Milk watching "Tosca." The movie is due in the fall, positioning it for Oscar consideration. Appearing on the City Hall steps to deafening applause, Sean Penn looked shockingly like Harvey Milk. He had his almost Grecian nose and dark wavy hair parted to one side and wore a tight T-shirt that showed off his muscles. "Brothers and sisters, you must come out to your parents," Penn/Harvey shouted, pronouncing his vowels distinctly to sound like a New Yorker. "It may hurt them. But think how they could hurt you in the voting booth." Penn would do eight takes of this speech all to loud applause from an indefatigable crowd, including people who had stood in the same spot 30 years ago listening to Milk urge gays to protect their rights from those trying to get gay-friendly legislation repealed. A dozen rows back from Penn, John Hershey, 63, started crying. Milk had influenced him to come out to his family, Hershey recalled. "This is an important thing for me because I want all the kids to know what Harvey did," he said. All age groups were represented. Peter Weitl came with his wife, Jenni. They're both 28. "We came to be part of history, even if it's re-created history. We couldn't have been there the first time," he said.
