....as a goose?

In recent interview with Out Magazine Molly Ringwald that's said that Ducky was gay.

"The most overlooked archetype in Hughes’s high school oeuvre was “the gay kid” -- or at least an out one. “John wrote a lot of gay characters,” Ringwald says easily. “But it was something that we never talked about. I would say in just about every movie he did, he had a character that easily could have been gay.”

Even the iconic final Pretty in Pink shot -- the prom sequence ends with Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy kissing in the street -- was one of two possible happy endings that Hughes shot. In the other version, Andie ends up with flamboyant, heart-on-his-sleeve Duckie, played by Jon Cryer.

There was just one problem, Ringwald says: “Duckie doesn’t know he’s gay. I think he loves Andie in the way that [my gay best friend] always loved me. That ending fell so flat -- it bombed at all the screenings. I didn’t realize it then -- I just knew that my character shouldn’t end up with him, because we didn’t have that sort of chemistry. If John was here now, and I could talk to him, I think that he would completely acknowledge that."

So.....something you wanted to say big guy?
Happy Austin Friday!

    Food Network Star Anne Burrell's Rep: It's 'No Secret' She's Gay

    On last week's SiriusXM Derek and Romaine show, Romaine Patterson and Chopped host Ted Allen were discussing chef Anne Burrell, and talk turned to Burrell's sexuality.

    BurrellSaid Patterson: “I also love it when Anne Burrell is on the show primarily because I have the biggest crush on her. Whether or not she’s a lesbian, I don’t care. She’s my girl!”

    Added Allen: "I’m not going to put a label on Anne, but she is dating a woman right now. She was really cool. You’ve got some competition."

    Since Burrell has never discussed it publicly, the talk Allen and Patterson's discussion generated has now compelled her rep to release a statement, Page Six reports:

    Burrell’s rep told Page Six: “Anne doesn’t feel she was outed. She has made no secret of her relationship. Her significant other is a very private woman. They have been together for a couple of years and spend a lot of time together. It is no secret in the culinary world.”

    Sources tell us Burrell’s girlfriend is another top James Beard Award-winning chef. Sources also said Burrell — an instructor at New York’s Institute of Culinary Education — appeared alarmed when she learned of Allen’s comments while shooting her show

    She was filming at Old Homestead Steakhouse in the Meatpacking District last Thursday, but bolted out — telling the production crew she had “a situation to deal with” and sped off on her bicycle, returning to the set the next day.

    From that picture on twitter of Austin someone posted yesterday, it looks like he got his hair cut back quite short. Low Maintenance. He can just shake and go when he steps out of the water.

    Maybe it took a professional to get that flip looking just perfect. LOL

    Wow if that tweet is true it is sure good to hear that Jake is standing up to the old lady. Jake must be sick of having too many people in his life telling him what to do.

    Ate brunch next to Jake Gyllenhaal at Prune today. He had to wait forever in the heat just like everyone else. Stars, they're just like us!

    LOL Tom.

    One thing I refuse to do is wait in line to go to brunch. Pretty common in NYC on the weekends, unfortunately, with a lot of places.
