Jodie Foster is still not ready to come out as a lesbian, despite being in a relationship with her lover, Cydney Bernard, for almost twenty years.
It's cool. It's her choice to come out or not. It's also a journalist's responsibility to ask her about it, and we applaud the folks at Entertainment Weekly for going there.
The Brave One star is on the cover of the new EW, and this was the most interesting part of the article.
"There's only one subject that [Foster] firmly swats away. A recent Out magazine cover featured two models holding up pictures of her and Anderson Cooper's faces in front of their own, under the headline 'The Glass Closet: Why Stars Won't Come Out And Play.' When asked if she has any response, Foster says, 'Was that the one with the Popsicle sticks?' Her thin lips tighten into a calm half smile of reproach: 'No, I have no response.'"
Bummer.
Jodie's not going to go to her grave closeted (hopefully).
If Loraine Barr had the courage to come out as a lesbian at 88 years old, then Jodie can do it too. It's only a matter of time!

Don't mess w/ Jodie! We got your back girl!
Cool!
hmmm…
First..
first
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL, THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS YOUR A LEZBO ANYWAY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WHO WON'T OWN UP TO THE OBVIOUS. IF YOUR TRYING TO BE MORE "MYSTERIOUS" JODI, IT'S NOT WORKING. STEVIE WONDER CAN SEE THAT YOUR GAY.
It's her choice if she wants to come out, or "if" she's Lesbo at all.lol
She should COME OUT! Nobody is fooled…as for Anderson, too bad…do you think he used to play dress up in his Mommy's Gloria's?!?! LMAO!
IDIOT!
THATS JODIE'S MOTHER, DUMMY BEAR PEREZ!
why is it ok for her to stay closeted and you feel you have to out everyone else? You can't pick and choose between celebs you like and don't like. This site has become way too biased and Perez has become such a fame seeker. I don't care if you waxed your back or you have a tv show. And I don't care what the hell Paris is doing in the name of "charity," tell me about the 5 guys she had to blow backstage for the publicity… you should know that, best girlfriends talk about that shit.
She'll be just like lily tomlin! she'll finally come out and no one will care!!
ugh. everyone knows that shes gay; so why doesnt she just come out?
Oh Perez,, I do love you,, you were awesome on the Rap show etc etc etc,,
but please,, leave Jodie alone!!
if she is gay or straight,, it's none of our business!! she is a great actress, and loves her private life!
I don't need to know if she is gay,, and I don't care,, that does not make or break a person,, she is fine how she is,,
if she wants to tell people she is gay she will,, if she does not,, who cares?
Jodie is great!!
gay or straight,, who cares!!!!
she'll never come out, she thinks she's too classy for that…
Come out the closet, Jodie! And bring Tom Cruise out with you!
As a gay woman who is completly in the closet still..due to family and work reasons….I have to say, you should leave this poor woman alone.
She probably is gay.
And she probably isn't ready for everyone to know yet, for what ever personal reason.
Not everyone is like you.
Good luck Jodie.
I'M GETTING CLOSER!
I support her right to not talk about her personal life in the media, given that some stalker tried to assassinate the president in her name. That would make me a little gun shy (pun intended) too!
TOPANGA U R sooo funny! LOL
And it's your business how? LEAVE HER ALONE.
Re: Chip –
erm anyone who still thinks that she's straight is a deluded moron.
Why does she need to tell the Media of her sexual prefrences. It's not ANYONES business GAWDDDDDDDDD i wish you Open gays would leave people alone.
I'm pretty sure Jodie would have no problem coming out of the closet… her agent, on the other hand…
what gives you the right to do this?? nothing does. even if she is a lesbian, it is her choice to come out or not, you have no right to make up her mind for her you asshole.
Truly a shame she just doesn't come out.
wtf!!!
its none of your fucken business perez, not everyone is a flamming queer like you. Some of us perfer to say quiet. Especially when theres fags like you and that reichen queer.
Re: Dur Her –
lol i think you'll find that you're the idiot, that is her girlfriend.
She's not in the "closet"!!!!!!! Jodie is "out" to everyone that's her inner circle family. I think what she's saying is this: "It's never going to be your damned business, so politely, fuck off" Hetero's don't always talk publicly about who they lay down with at night so why should gays have too?
Who cares? She's an incredible actress. Let people live their lives, and if she's ready to come out in the future, she'll do it in her own time.
Despite what you think, celebrities aren't required to come out or be role models. Forcing people out the closet is pretty low.
enough with this shit. who the hell are you to force her to become a poster child? She wants her privacy and i applaud her for sticking it to cry baby out and about shallow fags like perez hilton and out magazine. Not everyone consumes there entire lives with such trivial and boring details like sexuality. Get over it, respect peoples rights to a healthy and happy private life.
it's her choice, perez. if she chooses to "go to the grave with it" so what?
Shame-shame Perez! Jodie is not a shock to anyone, but why out all these celebs? It's their business and if they're not ready, why force it? I grew up with gay parents and love everyone, just think everyone, even famous people dererve SOME privacy. My parents also taught me never to assume until someone tells you they are gay- it's just not polite.
WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT SHE DOES,,,ITS HER BUSINESS….WHY ARE PEOPLE SO OBSESSED WITH OUTING PEOPLE? GET YOUR OWN GOD DAMN BUSINESS…FOR FUCK SAKES
For the people who think she need to talk about her sexual prefrence. HOw ABOUT THIS:
IT'S NOT YOUR BUSINESS. what part of that dont you understand.
Who the fuck really believes "its the journalist's responsibility" to ask ANYONE about their sexuality and/or sexual preferences??!?!?! Perez…you are without a doubt the biggest fucktard experiencing their "15 minutes"….your popularity shows exactly what the hell is wrong with people today. You're pathetic.
I love Jodie so much! While I think it is a shame that some stars are still concerned about public rejection due to their sexuality, I feel that many don't feel it should affect their careers in the least bit if they like girls or boys. Stars seeking privacy certainly doesn't help the gossips like our darling Perez, but you have to give her credit for keeping professional!
Also, I have had a long-time crush on Anderson Cooper, but I don't think I'm his type. (I'm a girl)
What business is it of yours if someone is gay or straight?? If Anderson or Jodie are gay and would like to discuss it great..if not then leave them alone.
Maybe she thinks it's none of your fucking business
Gotta say, If that's what lesbian looks like…
Jodie has done so much for women I'm gonna give her any closet she wants.
Has anyone noticed she has the BEST damn calves IN THE WORLD? Girl is AMAZING no matter her preferences!
What the hell difference does it make if she comes out or not? Not coming out is probably what's been keeping her in acting jobs. Everyone acts like that everything is on a need to know basis. No wonder wire tapping and snooping is rampant in this country. No jouralist has any duty to ask someone a question like that. Plain and simple it's none of their business.
Honestly, Perez, it's really and truly not your place to decide what people "should" do.
Jodie Foster, Anderson Cooper and many of the others you pick on have achieved remarkable, and well-earned, success living their lives their own way. YOU, Perez, haven't achieved even a whiff of anything as valid as they have. Maybe their way of doing things has some merit?
