Newman and Mcqueen were not bisexual.

It's not a DS word, it's been around for centuries

I love the fact that Declan Donnelly's lovelife is a DS urban legend

Does anyone REALLY care anyway?

As we’re talking closeted celebs, here are some women who have had many rumours about them (not always in mainstream press) that they are gay/bi/been involved in same-sex hook-ups:

Olivia Newton John
Julie Andrews
Queen Latifah
Michelle Rodriguez
Cheryl Cole
Kimberley Walsh
Katie Melua
Leighton Meester
Blake Lively
Kristen Stewart
Kiera Knightly
Kirsten Dunst
Nicole Kidman
Naomi Watts
Charlize Theron
Penelope Cruz
Anne Hathaway
Alicia Keys
Mischa Barton
Ellen Page

I would like to have a full size poster of Cheryl Cole and Naomi Watts "enjoying each others company".

I remember a rumour about two premier league footballers (both of whom have the same surname) indulging in some bum fun with each other, not that I actually give a crap.

I think grown adults should be able to do whatever they like sexually as long as it is with mutual consent and doesn't break any laws.

I'm sure Newman was bi. For a start, he was married for decades - are you saying that was a complete sham?

As long as the name wasn't Neville!!

I'm not sure why more don't come out it seems more women come out then men as well in the last year or so Fergie and Anna Paquin both came out as bisexual

I don't think female bisexuality has the same stigma in society as male bisexuality which is unfair.

Plus I think some of these celebs are just saying they are bisexual to sound more interesting than they actually are.

*cough* GaGa

People like Saffron Burrows and Alan Cummings can say they are bisexual because they have both had/have relationships with members of the same and opposite sex.

I remember the blond Scottish bodybuilder type on Big Brother five I think it was, he claimed to be bisexual in his audition only to admit later that he made it up to sound more like he would be a more interesting housemate.

It has been alleged in biographies that they are.

There is a more modern film star who similar rumours have followed who has been alleged to have had an on-set affair with Newman as well.

I have heard another star from this era, a co-star of Marilyn Monroe hires an expensive rent-boy whenever he comes to London.

Not ... Bernie S?

As Alfie said upthread, it's not a new word.

But of course. "The Triangle" is ledgendary Saucy Secrets thread fodder. You have done your work well

It wasn't even my saucy secret to start with, the person who was responsible for that has gone wherever inactive members go when they never return

But why is that? A lot of the leading men now in Hollywood are tagged as bi/gay. I'm genuinely interested. If that is true, why is that the case?

I heard that as well. Are you thinking of one half of tomkat?

Believe me that is not a rumour. Tis true. He's been rumoured to be closeted forever! Kennedy wasn't his first.

As for Williams, I've been convinced he was gay since he started being famous. Same with Ricky Martin and I wasn't wrong there either!

well that welsh rugby union guy got married and had kids .
and he came out as gay

It doesn't matter who is, but like everywhere else in the world, the vast majority of celebrities aren't going to be gay. There are really good looking guys that people say are gay just because they want them to be. Most good looking guys are straight, because most guys are straight. Ricky Martin is a hot gay guy though Chris Colfer, NPH, Russell Tovey, Perez Hilton... you can keep them

There are people like Kristen Stewart, Ellen Page, Maria Sharapova etc who ping my gaydar and have a lot of rumours surrounding them, but it's their business. I think the women rumoured to be gay are more likely purely because women experiment more. Or maybe they are just willing to admit it more than men are!!!

I think Oprah's gay......
