Which major FOX News celebrity is about to be outed as gay?

[Brian_Expat]

This is interesting indeed. . .

On a recent trip to New York, I visited a gay bar on the Upper East Side, where I met a familiar-looking man wearing an expensive suit and excessive makeup. After a drink or two, I realized that he was one of the star anchors at Fox News Network, that tool of the conservative right masquerading as a “fair and balanced” news operation.

He wouldn’t admit his identity, only that he “worked for News Corporation,” the parent company of Fox, so I played dumb and let him buy another round of martinis.

At 3 a.m. and after more than a few drinks, the closeted Fox star could barely balance on his bar stool.

His solicitations for a date became more intense and desperate. So I told him I was not single and, “not interested dating anyone in closet,” and left him wobbling on his stool.

I wonder who it was?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. Shepard??

Betcha.

[Brian_Expat]

2. So far, speculation I've heard. . .

Is that it's either Sheppard or (shudder) Sean Hannity. Ick.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. Lol! I just had a vision...

Of Hannity, in Chaps and nipple clamps, hanging in a sling, next to a 55 gallon drum of Crisco at "The Mineshaft".

Now THERE would be some snapshots for the ages! ;-)

[Brian_Expat]

18. Oh my, thanks for saving me some money. . .

. . . I was just about to go out and eat lunch until I read that. :P

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

21. Think nothing of it!

Glad to be of humble service! ;-)

[xultar]

42. If I were Gay and Sean Hannity were outed I'd boot his ass out of the club

That is worse than being a Log Cabin Republican that is like being Black & in the KKK or a Jew in the Nazis.

Nope Sean Hannity would have to get ta steppin.

[VolcanoJen]

3. Shep-n-Sean popped into mind immediately.

Damn, I love DU. Great minds conspire here!!

[doni_georgia]

25. That'd be my guess, he came from Atlanta,

He worked at WAGA channel 5 (then CBS) in Atlanta. When WAGA became a FOX affiliate, Shep moved to NY. So I've seen a lot of Shepard over the years. My father-in-law used to be a producer at that station, I'll ask him about it.

[Roon]

4. It's Shepard

He has made a couple fruedian slips on the air. He's a homo.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

11. I have complete and utter faith...

In the range, accuracy and resolution of Gaydar. ;-)

[Merlin]

12. Boffo!

Ditto!

[scrotim]

15. I agree. gaydar, in all seriousness, is a reliable indicator

mine generally cuts right through the bullshit.

i also think human beings have many innate sensitivities like that, which we are taught to ignore and suppress.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

17. Absolutely!

I used to share a farm with two other guys. One was gay. Very, very gay. He taught the rest of us the arcane and eldritch secrets of Gaydar, some of which was by Direct Non-Verbal Transmission.

It's real, it works and its accurate.

One way to notice is the supposedly straight guy, when he is talking to known gays and has a few drinks in him. The subtle shifts are quite marked and noticable, if you know what to look for.

My roomie was a great guy. I miss his company.

[terrya]

27. It's Shepard Smith. My gaydar goes wild when I watch him

No doubt on this one whatsoever. Take this one to the bank, folks.

Shepard Smith is as gay as Anderson Cooper. :-)

Terry

[xultar]

43. But Cooper is Effin Honey Butter. I'd have a sex change to do him.

Anderson is DE-LISH!!!

[bushwakker]

5. Gotta be old Shep*

[sampsonblk]

6. The Observer

I vote for Assman. His name gives him away though. Wait, so I guess that means he isn't really in the closet at all.

[JI7]

7. don't know, but that guy mike jarett(sp?) is gay

he usually hosts on weekends . his mother just died this past week so he is not on this weekend. but he doesn't come across as right wing as many of the other fools on fox. he isn't considered a big star as shep smith, o'reilly etc .

[underpants]

19. I think I know who you mean and yes that is a no brainer

Blondish haired guy who often hosts the weekend Fox and Friends. HE is pretty obviously gay -not that there is anything WRONG with that seriously I don't care either way but I have thought he was gay for a while now.

[JI7]

24. he has pretty much admitted it

and everyone knows. he has often said he found certain guys attractive. once they showed some woman who had kids and she herself was in great physical shape and everyone was complimenting her. and then they showed her husband afterwards who was some bodybuilder type and mike says "now that's what i like". he is one of the few on fox i can stand though. i'm sorry about his mother passing away but they did say he got to be with her just before she died.

[Skittles]

36. I think most blonde guys are gay

:evilgrin:

[Cooley Hurd]

29. Do you mean Keith Jarrett?

He came from MSNBC last year.

It's either Shep Smith, John Gibson or Jarrett. Isn't Hannity married?:shrug:

[JI7]

47. no, his first name is mike for sure

i don't know who keith jarrett is. but the one i'm talking about is named mike for sure. and yeah, hannity is married idon't think he is gay.

[The Zanti Regent]

8. Y'all mean THIS guy????????

[Brian_Expat]

9. Hmmmmm. . .

I have a feeling, and it says "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping!!!" :)

[trumad]

14. Got to be John Gibson

[Brian_Expat]

20. Nooooooooooo. . .

you can keep him! Yuck.

[Skittles]

LOL, you can't just give back the ones you don't want!!!!

I'd give y'all Mel Gibson!

[rooboy]

13. Pardon the pun, but David "Ass-man" would be a suspect. n/t

[scrotim]

16. interesting that there are so many gay men in the news biz

my guess is it's simply because news is a wing of the entertainment biz, and without gays there is NO entertainment!

:)

[underpants]

22. Anderson Cooper?

Sory I couldn't resist. A friend of mine told me that he thought Anderson was the coolest guy on TV (he mentioned the Flaming Lips) and I told him that apparently (via DU I knew this) he is openly gay, my buddy couldn't believe it.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

23. If he is...

If he is openly gay and does what he does for a living and is not someone who takes shots at his own people or supports policies that harm them, then he is to be admired and has balls.

[JI7]

26. he once did a piece on some young lesbian girl who was killed

and you could tell how sad he was and how it seemed to hurt him personally. he was talking to the family of the girl . the family had been very supportive of her and they talked about how they just loved her as she was. anderson cooper gets along very well with his mother also.

[Shopaholic]

28. From the NY Daily News 5/13/04

The Rush & Malloy Column:

Nicole Kidman enjoyed a dinner out with friends, including Uma Thurman and Uma's new man, Andre Balazs, on Tuesday. They were part of a table of 10 at Mike Diamond's new Asian fusion hot spot, Vela, on W. 21st St. Fox personality Shepard Smith happened to be leaving the restaurant at the same time as Kidman, leading one excitable witness to surmise the pair might be "together." We assure you that is not the case.

West 21st--isn't that in Chelsea? Just saying. Not that there's anything wrong with that. . . .

[Brian_Expat]

30. In a way, how sad is this?

It's the 21st century and this person, who obviously is successful enough to be a recognised personality nationwide, has to stay in the closet?!? Yeesh.

[dsc]

31. Yeah it is

but it is thanks, in no small part, to the people who are helped by FOX that people like him and for that matter me, have to be at least somewhat closeted. I am open with family and friends but am very 'deniable' with my students. I don't lie but I also don't leave the most accurate of impressions.

[greenman3610]

32. my brain says Shepherd

every other fiber says
'please God, let it be Hannity"


I would also like to see a pic of
O'Reilly getting whipped by his
dominatrix. You KNOW that's how
he spends his weekends...

[Skittles]

39. it's sadder yet that they would pimp for f***ing FOX

:puke:

[burned]

33. Gregg Jarrett

is the guy on FOX.

[Skittles]

34. I think O'Reilly is gay

I'm not dissing you gay folk; I've just always gotten that vibe.

[jrthin]

35. I'd place my bet on Mr. Shepherd. n/t

38. Billy 0 ' Really!

I thought he only loved Bush! Pun intended!

[kentuck]

40. I would guess Bill O'Reilly or Carl Cameron.....

Usually it will be the biggest hypocrite....

[0007]

44. I couldn't care less as I don't watch that sissy right slanted

hot line to the White House.

To each his own.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

45. "Excessive make-up" uh?

I've been saying for years that O'Reilly and Shep wear way too much make-up. They are both clearly addicted to heavy bronzer and eyeliner. They look as bad as those trashy Fox women!

[Shopaholic]

46. I don't wear as much eyeliner & mascara as Shep does. . .

and I'm a girl who really loves her eye makeup!

[against all enemies]

48. Who cares?

And how do all of you know who these people are? You shouldn't be watching that crap. Its bad for your health and intelligence.
