Daniel Radcliffe has targeted homophobes across the globe in a new interview with Attitude magazine, labeling them as “disgusting,” stupid animals who are “thick” and “scared.”

“I just loathe homophobia,” he said. “It’s just disgusting and animal and stupid and it’s just thick people who can’t get their heads around it and are just scared.”

The Harry Potter star – who recently celebrated his 20th birthday – told the gay magazine that while he wasn’t gay (he’s happily dating his Equus co-star, Laura O’Toole) he had no problem with homosexuality, and fully supported the lifestyle choice.

“I grew up around gay people entirely,” the young actor said. “I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that.”

Radcliffe recently came under fire about his own sexuality, and was forced to explain at a recent red carpet event for new film Half-Blood Prince that while he was “flattered” by the rumours, he didn’t bat for the other team.

He might have a “gay face” and a penchant for wearing pink and paisley print together, but Daniel Radcliffe insists he isn’t gay… kind of.

The Harry Potter actor responded to his own gay rumours when answering a question regarding series author J.K. Rowling’s outing of her beloved character Albus Dumbledore last year.

“I think it’s wonderful that Dumbledore was outed as gay… Half of me thinks Jo Rowling just did that to see if she could p**s off the right wing, but I’m not sure how true that is. I think she had it planned, I think she always knew he was gay,” he said.

He then turned his response towards his own sexual orientation, alluding that he’s straight despite how gay his appearance may be, without actually saying the word “straight”.

“I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that’s possibly why I’m quite camp, and some people think I’m gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome,” Radcliffe explained. “It’s always good to keep them guessing [laughs].”

The actor continued: “I don’t go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons for them, and apparently someone said ‘Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He’s got a gay face!’ [laughs] I really don’t know what a gay face is.”

Hmm. Well, if girls everywhere were waiting for a Radcliffe admission on which way his door swings before they made their move… I guess they’ll have to keep waiting, because that wasn’t it. Not even close.

Although, he did admit to having a crush on Potter co-star Emma Watson in recent times. Perhaps that is proof enough.

In a long interview with the UK’s DailyMail, Simon Cowell has come out and claimed he is not gay.

Normally, when a celeb makes these kind of statements, I take it with a grain of salt, but in Simon’s case, I actually believe him.

Says Simon:

“I am quite happy single. I am friends with all my exes and I enjoy their company, but I keep crazy hours.

So until I sort out what I am going to do in the next couple of years, or beyond, it is very difficult to think about something like that.

Of course, there have long been rumours, which just won’t go away, that Cowell is gay.

In this business, if you were gay it wouldn’t be a problem, would it? It is not exactly unusual to be gay in the music business or the TV business. It is 2009, after all. So if you are, you are; if you are not, you are not.’

And you are not? ‘I am not gay,’ he says, stubbing out his last cigarette and preparing to go back downstairs to the Britain’s Got Talent bear pit.”

As I said, I belive him when he says he is not gay; unless extreme narcissism falls into that category.

To me, Simon is the kind of guy who is more likely to call out his own name while performing self flagellation upon himself. I can also see him bottling any bodily emissions to keep for posterity.

Do you remember that South Park episode where, Tom Cruise wouldn’t come out of the closet? You can probably add another name to the list. I am not suggesting it is Ian Thorpe just because he is in the image here and the title. Plus Ian continually denies being gay, so it can’t be him now can it.

On a side note, a newly pudgy Thorpe has come out and said that he is in love with someone from another country. No word on who it is though.

Between revealing that he is in love with someone from another country, it is good to see that this has not stopped Ian from spending a lot of time with Brazilian swimmer, Daniel Mendes, who he has reportedly been living with in Australia for three years.

Thorpe’s former coach Tracey Menzies introduced the pair and they became bum training buddies.

A ‘friendship’ developed from there and love blossomed, as the pair became closer. The pair are not total recluses though, with them attending the 2007 Australia’s Next Top Model finale and the 2008 MTV Awards together.

However, photos of the two together are hard to find, with the images below being taken recently when the happy couple friends were holidaying with Mendes’ family in Brazil at Christmas after first spending time with Thorpe’s family in Australia..

One-time boyfriend of Kate Moss, Russell Brand, in an interview with GQ magazine, claims he beds 80 women a month.

He claims he is getting to the burnout stage though, saying:

“Sometimes I think, ‘Come on, have a day off!”

He also regrets bedding a 61-year-old in his youth.

“She was certainly not a young woman. She was in a position of authority in my life. I didn’t cover myself in glory that night.”
“It was a formidable and unusual occurrence, and I weren’t yet ready for such challenges to my narrow-minded understanding of bodily aesthetics.”
“Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.”

Brand obviously believes in quantity over quality and I think he may be telling a few lies about the gender of his conquests. The guy screams gay to me.

Before Sean Penn altered the script in new movie Milk, James Franco says there was only “one real [gay] kissing scene”.

“In the original script I read, there was only one real kissing scene,” Franco told Elle magazine.

“A month after [director] Gus [Van Sant] asked me to do [the movie], they sent me another script,” Franco added, “and on Page 5 there was a full-on love scene. And I was like, ‘Gus, what the heck?’ He says, ‘Well, it was Sean’s idea.’”

Well, I guess Sean’s a big believer in the saying, “Sometimes, one kiss just isn’t enough!”

The World’s sexiest man, Hugh Jackman has revealed that he used to go to gay clubs when he was younger.

Hugh didn’t go alone, saying:

“I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but I remember when I was about 19, me and my friend used to go to these dance parties which were 80 per cent gay guys, 18 per cent girls who were sick of heterosexual guys hitting on them, and then vultures like me and my mate.”

“We would go there until two in the morning, when the girls were really drunk and wishing they weren’t with 80 percent gay guys.”

“I’m the worst kind of straight guy. The leech! The vulture!”

Riiiiight!

The worst kind of ’straight guy’ is one that frequents gay clubs. Aren’t those places full of ’straight guys’?

Hugh, no good can come of you revealing this….

Hugh, tongue in cheek, also revealed that he wants the record of sexiest man titles, aiming to go back-to-back.

On Wednesday, Brad Pitt made the announcement that he would donate $100,000 in a bid to help fight California’s anti-gay marriage ballot, Proposition 8.

“Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8,” the Troy actor said in a statement.

The Proposition 8 ballot initiative to once again put a ban on gay marriages in the state of California will go to a vote in November.

Gee… no wonder Ellen and Portia got in so fast with their nuptials!

Australian pop icon Kylie Minogue has admitted she’s contemplated turning gay after a string of unsuccessful heterosexual relationships.

Ms. Minogue told The Sun that “the lack of men in [my] life makes [me] consider turning gay.”

But just what kind of woman would Kylie be interested in, if she decided to turn to the dark side? The late, bisexual, 30s actress Tallulah Bankhead!

“I’d go gay for her,” Minogue said. “She was a fascinating and exotic woman. There was so much to admire about her.”

“She lived life to the full, maybe a little too fully,” the 2 Hearts singer added. “I want to release the inner Tallulah in me. God knows I can’t get a man — so maybe I should cross over.”

Well, Lindsay did, and look where it got her!

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her actress girlfriend Portia De Rossi will marry this weekend in California, according to a source.

The pair, who have been together since 2004, have planned a small, intimate ceremony. Only a select few close family and friends will be in attendance.

DeGeneres, 50, made the announcement that she would wed her girlfriend on her talk show in May, following the California Supreme Court’s ruling that same sex couples would now have the right to marry.

“It’s something that we’ve wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited,” DeGeneres said on her show.

Perhaps not-so-secret gay couple Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson should tag along with DeGeneres and De Rossi and make a day of it??
