It's Weird How Gawker's Just Randomly Posting Gay Rumors Now But This One About Kevin Spacey Is Pretty Fantastic

So Gawker’s celeb blog Defamer is doing this weird thing now where they just go “Hey, this celebrity might be gay…tell us rumors about him being gay and we’ll post them.” Kind of a weird move but that’s where journalism is going these days. People reporting upon tweets with little verification is step one, now let’s just post whispers in the high school hallways and go “We have no idea if this is true BUT IT COULD BE” and that’s news. Welcome to the media in 2015. Normally I’m sort of whatever towards it but this story from a dude claiming an allegedly closeted homosexual Kevin Spacey hit on him just tickled me right in the funny bone (and dick) because holy shit it’s the greatest line ever.

This one just SEEMS like something Kevin Spacey (or more specifically Frank Underwood from House of Cards) might say. And it’s brilliant. Like how are you not at least giving Kevin Spacey a little tug after that one. I haven’t normally associated hang gliding with being banged in the butt against my normal heterosexual desires but the logic is pretty sound. Classic Keyser Soze moves.

Frankly we should be talking more about this Will/Jada Pinkett rumor though:

I know nothing about Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, or their personal choices and preferences but I watch Gotham and based on that I can say without question that I’d be STUNNED if Jada Pinkett isn’t chowing down at the Y on occasion. Story checks out.
