"It really boils down to this: I want to please everybody. I want every guy and every girl thinking that I'm singing these songs to them, because I am. If I make a hard, fast case on where I stand then that takes away a lot of the fantasy. Music entails a lot of fantasy. I want people to be able to go there with me. Some people might think it's a cop-out. I don't care. That's how I feel."
- Closeted lesbian Joan Jett to Spinner, on why she refuses to come out publicly
Posted: April 9, 2008 at 3:30 pm
whatwhat
FIRST
Psh, whatever, let her do what she wants, why bully her? She has a good enough reason.
whoaaaaaaaaa
lesbo
ew.
1st biaches
First………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love kim
triple love Joan!
seems like a reasonable explanation to me
still laughing at J. Aniston being called a "spinster" ahahahahaahah
she's fricking hot, if I swung that way I'd do her.
I love her and as much as I am for LGTBQ rights, she has a point. She is a public figure for her music, not her sexuality. Let her be.
[[ who ]]
John Edwardz wife approvez of Hillaryz healthcare plan…yea….
Oh I sooo understand wanting/TRYING to please them all. It doesn't work though, that much is fact.
Come on Perez… Closet lesbian? How much more spelling out do you need?… Didnt know you had a Homo-police..Ready to out everyone.. Who cares who she sleeps with?
first!
She looks wonderful for someone turning like 50 this year. I thought she married some dude from the Blackhearts years ago. I didn't know she was divorced. Whatever her preference, it's HER business and no one elses.
Keep on rocking Joan!
I AGREE WITH HER.
As long as she is not ASHAMED of her sexuality then its OK. She can SAY and DO WHATEVER she wathever she wants as long as she is not HURTING anyone. I don't go around making PUBLIC announces that I'm a HETEROSEXUAL. Some people are just PERSONAL it doesn't mean they ASHAMED necessarily, they just don't want to be a MEDIA MONKEY. It's about time people need to GET OVER when someone's gay and expect them to wear a name tag say I AM GAY. It should be …. BTW I AM GAY.. blah blah blah WHO THE FUCK CARES?
Man, she was an adult when I was a teenybopper, rocking out to her albums on vinyl! The woman's looking HOT these days!
(SO much better than the blonde spiked cut she had for a while…)
Gimme a call sometime, girl!
To hang out with her and act like there's a relationship, but anyone that knows Orlando will tell you that he is gay. She is
so hard up. No one likes her at all. She is so ugly.
wow she looks good!
Isn't it enough for people to see a) what she looks like, and b) that she's never ever been known to have or be seen with a boyfriend? Duh, come on. Why the need to make some big formal "ANNOUNCEMENT!"
I'M A LESBIAN!! I'M A GAY MALE! I'M A TRANSGENDERED BI-SEXUAL!
And I'm a straight female, who cares. Let's get on with life!
Re: Kamilalila – I also think it's stupid you called her a Closet Lesbian SHAME ON YOUR PEREZ-Z
-
PEOPLE MAKE SUCH A BIG ISSUE OF COMING OUT, BUT LET'S BE HONEST.
-
NO ONE, NOT EVEN ONE PERSON — NOBODY HAS *EVER* COME OUT AND HAD THE "NEWS" BE SUPRISING.
-
EVER.
-
SO GET OVER YOURSELVES ALREADY.
-
I WANT SOMEONE TO COME OUT AND MAKE ME GO "GET OUTTA TOWN — *SHE* IS GAY!!! I HAD NO IDEA!!!"
-
LOL
-
JOAN JETT WOULD ***HARDLY*** KNOCK ME OVER IF SHE "CAME OUT."
-
Once, always, and forever a BADASS! I don't give a fuck which team she's playing for!
SHAME ON YOU PEREZ-Z for calling her a CLOSET LESBIAN.
maybe she is in the closet because the word on the street is she and carmen electra are together and carmy doesn't want anyone to know she's diving the muff of the queen of rock and roll

You go girl!
Sexuality is a continuum anyway - not a binary case of Hetero or Homo
Love the one your with!
She posted an profile on "milliona iref riends com". She’s resorted to online dating? Is she looking for true love there?
I'm surprised she isn't officially out. I thought everyone in the world knew she's a lesbian.
She dated Sally Hershberger in the 80s for a long time. Sally told me herself. Joan was her first serious girlfriend.
Regardless if she a lesbian or not she's still and always will be 4000 times better than your fat ass ever will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too bad she´s closeted but Perez did not mention that she looks FANTASTIC. She´s what 50 and she looks better than most 30 year olds and she does not look that she had much work done. All natural.
I LOVE HER ANSWER! SHE'S TOTALLY RIGHT.
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK OF PEREZ AND HIS OPINIONS. IS HE SERIOUS??
NO ONE STRAIGHT OR GAY SHOULD HAVE TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING - IT'S THEIR LIVES - WHO CARES?????????????????????????????
I WANT THEIR MUSIC TO LISTEN TO, THEIR FINISHED MOVIE TO WATCH, THE PRODUCTS TO BUY ~
I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHO THE F*CK THEY SLEEP WITH.
GET OVER IT, PEOPLE, PEREZ IS NOT THIS "MEDIA HERO" EVERYONE WANTS TO THINK HE IS.
HE TALKS ABOUT WHO HE CHOOSES, WHICH STORIES HE CHOOSES, HE'S JUST LIKE THE REST OF THEM. HE PUTS HIS OWN SPIN AND GOES WITH IT.
WHY IS THIS GUY A CELEBRITY?
I HOPE BEYONCE'S WEDDING WAS A LOT OF "POP FICTION" - WHAT A LOSER TELLING EVERYONE THE ADDRESS.
NEXT TIME HE'S TAKING A POOP, SOMEONE POST THE ADDRESS OF THE BATHROOM SO WE CAN ALL COME WATCH.
O-V-E-R IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's an ugly dyke with a dick bigger than Rosie's.
I get where she's coming from. I remember my first real crush on a singer and then the disappointment when I found out he was gay.
stop communism now right now.
Perez talks about how people should be themselves but he won't let them make their own decisions about what other people know about them; maybe it's because he's earning money by spreading gossip, he's a fat piece of shit, i hope someone kicks the shit out of him sometime
Why does everyone HAVE to come out officially?? It's their bizness. If you're gay and you're out, good for you. If you're gay and you don't feel you owe it to the world to make an official statement, good for you, too! Don't judge at hate the gays who don't want to come out officially. Mind your own damn bizness!!!!
I have been a long time fan of Joan Jett's and personally I couldn't care less if she was gay or straight. She writes kick ass tunes and that's all that I care about. As long as the woman is happy and continues to write great music i'll support her completely. Joan rocks!
How old is she?? if that pic is recent then she looks amazing…i´d do her - and i´m straight
Re: Anna – Re: rjp3 – I bet this is Mc Fat P-Nasty himself responding to his own blog…trying to reaffirm his bullshit FATBOY perspective!
Eat shit and die you aids infested monkey!
I am exctly 7 days older than joan and have loved her since we were both 17. I don't care if she is straight or gay she is hexy as hell and ROXXX!!! and always has. I will always be her fan, and she is dead right about her fanbase.
I met Joan Jett personally while she rehearsed for the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Broadway and she is the most beautiful woman inside and out. Her music is amazing and so is she.
Cool! There's no reason for people to HAVE TO discuss their sex lives in public - only FAT BOY PEREZ thinks YOU HAVE TO.
The real Rock and Roll Queen. Joan and Pat Benetar put all fake girl rockers to shame (Avril and the old Gwenn, I am talking to you bitch)
SHE IS DOING CARMEN ELECTRA
WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT DAVE NAVARO
( IGUESS THAT MAKES EM ALL GAY )
She's allowed to keep her private life PRIVATE. So what if she's saying she'd like to be thought of as bisexual - what on earth is wrong with that, Perez??
No offense Joan, but nobody is fantasizing about you OTHER than lesbians so you may as well come out finally. To still be playing that "Oh, isn't it more enticing not to know?" game is making you sound like a 14 year old school kid who is afraid to get kicked out of their house if they come out. To still be diong that at your age is beyond pathetic.
Maybe she's in the closet still because she likes her privacy you idiot. Why should ever flame-on like you have to stand on a mountain top and scream I'm a homo? Grow up Cock Sucker!
Personally I would respect you more if just came clean about.Its all about the money Joan,still kissing your handlers ass
:-) She looks hot!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: I KNOW –
you said "She dated Sally Hershberger in the 80s for a long time. Sally told me herself. Joan was her first serious girlfriend. "
—————————————————————————————–
Ugh, Sally's big claim to fame is that hideous haircut "The Sally Shag" that she gave to Meg Ryan that made Meg look like a 12 year old boy with self esteem issues. Perhaps Joan was so good in bed that SAlly wasn't thinking clearly when she did that to Poor Meg.
Outting people is DOUCHEY Pretzle…
She's friggin Joan Jett, if she wants to keep her "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" on the 'down lo' then so be it!
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE: I AM STRAIGHT!!!! NOW DOESN'T THAT IMPROVE ALL OF YOUR LIVES TO KNOW THAT? EVERYONE SHOULD GET UP ON A SOAPBOX AND ANNOUNCE WHO THEY FUCK OR PEREZ WILL COME AFTER YOU.
What a mess she's turned out to be.
Umm, Joan Jett came out YEARS ago. It was in the papers. I remember her headlining gay pride in Boston in early 00's.
Hey why don't you ever out Rebecca Romjin? She got married twice to cover her ass. She was a well known lesbian in her modeling days. Rebecca is worse than Joan Jett to me.
Smart! It's not like she's DENYING it, just not admitting it. It's really for her to decide anyway.
What is with all of this "coming out of the closet" bullshit. Who had the nerve to decide if someone must reveal their sexuality? Perez? Hey Perez, a person does not have to declose their sexual preferance publicly. What do you want? You want George Clooney and Brad Pitt to hold a press conference and say, "I'm hetersosexual! I knew I had to tell everyone that, so here I am!" Why should it be any different for homos. They don't have to do shit. It is their business. If they are inclined to make it public, they will. End of story
I wish she do me hard and fast with a dildo.
Stop fucking with my babe, Joan, Perez. What you give a fuck if she's lez, bi, or whatever. You fucking hack ass twit
I could have sworn she came out in Rolling Stone about 10 years ago.
Anyway, if I was into women she'd be at the very top of my list!
She still looks great.
HEY JOAN…YOU OVER THE HILL LESBOT….NO ONE GIVES A RAT'S ASS ABOUT YOU OR YOUR TIRED MUSIC ANYMORE…SO TAKE THAT FANTASY HORSE SHIT AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR DIGITALLY (AS IN FINGERS) OVER USED TWAT. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO WITH THE MINIMAL AMMOUNT OF FAME YOU STILL HAVE IS COME OUT AND BE A ROLL MODEL FOR YOUNG LESBIANS INSTEAD OF COOKING UP SOME RIDICULOUS HORSE SHIT TO JUSTIFY YOUR REFUSAL TO ADMIT THE OBVIOUS TRUTH….BITCH !!!!!!!!!!!!
sounds smart!!
How can you crap on Joan?
shes JOAN JETT???
Shes freakn amazing…. shes like 50 and she looks awesome…
leave joan alone!
JOAN AND CHERRIE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY LOADS.
KEEP THE FANTASY GOING.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN – Go pierce your pecker!
Look out Joan, evidently you're Perez's new target. Get OFF it, Perez.
All I need from Joan is MUSIC! The public NEVER needs to know anything about celebrities private lives; be it marital status, race/lineage or sexual orientation.
Why does the gay community think celebs should "vindicate" homosexuality for them? Are they dubbed "not gay enough" if they don't tell? People aren't going to be more accepting of it if a celeb comes out and it could ruin someone's career; not BECAUSE they are gay, but because fans have fantasies and as long as that fantasy is "possible in the mind" there they will always be a paying audience. It's not about lack of GAY PRIDE but more about a LACK OF RESPECT AND PRIVACY from the gay community.
If gay men would take a lesson from the old schoolers and 1-keep their mouths shut they wouldn't be judged and ridiculed and stereotyped as shameless, dabauched characters. At least gay women are smart. They just show up with her and DARE OU TO HAVE THE BALLS TO ASK. If I were a celeb I wouldn't answer that question, and might put the print of my shoe on "ye olde forehead" if anyone asked.
Lesbian or not, she hot, hot, HOT… Joan Jett is smokin'!!
Rumor….blech
She's out, dumbass. She doesn't need to announce it to you or a magazine for it to be known. Quit being such a moron, Perez.
She speaks to why it has absolutely never been ok to 'out' someone who doesn't want to be outed. A lot of these celebrities you bully into eventual admission are people who 'play straight' in their music or in Hollywood. In effect, 'outing' them is taking away their careers and their livelihood.
Good grief man, everyones known for years that JJ is a lesbo. And dig this. No one but Perez gives a rats ass. Why is it that heteros are entitled to a private life, but fat ass Perez thinks all gays have to talk about their sexuality every time they open their mouth? She makes music. I don't need to know her bedroom details to like her music.
BTW, wouldn't watch Perez on TV for a million dollars, but accidently saw him on Carson. Dude, you are one fat ugly and stupid mo. The second you walked out I threw up in my mouth.
Re: NoElleNo- How tacky to ask such a question! –
Look, you can pretend that this is all her private business etc…. but what you don't realize is that this woman has spent her LIFE hiding who she is, not being able to go to an awards show, or a movie with the person she loves etc… All you people that want to "Keep It Private" are really no different than the supposed "Ex Gay Church Therepists" that teach people in their church that being gay is a sin and they should hide it and marry somebody of the opposit sex. Again, if somebody asked Julia Roberts "are you dating? are you married? who was your first crush?" it would be fine, but asking Joan Jett the same thing is somehow an invasion of her privacy? Give me a break.
At the Stone in S.F. way back in the 80's.
Joan was making out with a hot blond lesbo before her show and it was hot.
It is a non issue.
Joan is still a great Rocker!!!!!
She will be on the TRUE COLORS TOUR this summer with Cyndi Lauper and teh B-52s.
Joan is the coolest! Nobody should EVER come out of the closet if they are in the public eye, because the "small minded", "need to squash everybody" media will only then label you "gay" actor, or "gay"singer. You are no longer an artist, you are a "gay celebrity". Keep the mystery, stay an artist.
Re: rjp3 – As I stated in my reply, you would be crazy to EVER come out if you are an artist. The media, which is way too big anyway, will then label you "gay" actor so and so, or "gay" singer so and so. Once you come out, you are no longer an artist, but a "gay" celebrity. It's sad, but the media HAS to label you, otherwise they wouldn't know what to do with you. Keep the mystery… it's nobody's business.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN IS REALLY A MAN. – OF COURSE I'M A MAN YOU STUPID BITCH…CHRIST HOW LONG DID IT TAKE AN IDIOT LIKE YOU TO FIGURE THAT OUT ???? AND I'VE HAD MY PRINCE ALBERT (THAT WOULD BE A PIERCED PECKER YOU STUPID TWAT) FOR YEARS…IT DRIVES THE BOYS NUTS WHEN I'M FULLY EXTENDED IN THEIR BUNG HOLES !!!!
Right the fuck on, JJ! What difference does it make who she sleeps with? The music comes from her SOUL. Sometimes its nice to keep things to yourself & not share it with the world.
Peace In, War Out
Who care who she sleeps with? She is a legend regardless.
Re: Cecily –
Unfortunately, PEREZ doesn't just have a "homo police," he *is* the homo police.
Live and let live, Perez, not everyone wants to proclaim their sexuality to strangers. Seeing as how it is none of our damn business, really.
Wasnt she supposedly dating Carmen Electra a while ago? What ever happened with that?
Re: RDICAL QUEEN –
HOPE YOU DICK ROTS OFF YOU LOSER PIG.
given that her audience is much more heavily Lesbian, I'd sooner bet she's doing the reverse - not admitting she's straight to keep the "lesbian fantasy" alive.
THIS IS THE FIRST I HEARD OF HER BEING GAY! GOOD FOR HER!
Re: RADICAL QUEEN IS REALLY A LITTLE WHINEY BITCH – HA HA HA HA HA !!!…..YOU ARE TOO TOO EASY……MAKING MY ORIGINAL ASSESSMENT THAT YOU'RE STUPIDER THAN MUD 100% CORRECT !!!!!! I LOVE ANNOYING YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS SHIT BAGS DAHHHHLING….AND WHEN COMPLETE IDIOTS LIKE YOU FALL IN TO THE TRAP IT ABSOLUTELY MAKES THIS WHINY QUEEN'S DAY. HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!! AND FOR THE RECORD, YOU VILE CUNT, JOAN JETT IS STILL A TALENTLESS, CLOSET LEZBOT HAS BEEN !!!! NOW GO PUT YOUR FINGERS TO GOOD USE, AND FUCK YOURSELF WITH THEM !!! HA HA HA HA !!!!
She's so hot and amazing.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN – You are a funny little man.
I really hope you get help because you are a TWISTED FREAK.
Have a great evening.
Joan is 50! Before there was 'fierce' there was 'punk' .. and Joan is all that. Who gives a flyt about what she does privately! She defined women in rock 'then' and still does today. Frakk Madge! Ill take Joan's Black Heart anyday!
She's Bi..she slept with a guy friend of mine. Hey, I guess that would actually make her an opportunist! good grrlll…
She is so fucking hot and totally rocks. Who cares about anything else?
Re: RAGING QUEEN HAS A LITTLE PIERCED WEINER – SO YOU'RE STILL USING YOUR FINGERS TO POST PATHETICALLY HERE….I SUPPOSE THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED FROM A SHUT IN IGNORANT TWAT LIKE YOU. BUT KEEP RESPONDING YOU DUMB CUNT….CAUSE YOU MAY NOT BE PLEASURING YOURSELF WITH YOUR FAT STUBBY FINGERS, BUT YOU'RE CERTAINLY PLEASING ME, BECAUSE AS I SAID, BOTHERING BITCHES LIKE YOU IS WHY I'M HERE. HA HA HA HA !!!!!! AND WHILE MY WIENER MAY BE LITTLE (HEY…8 INCHES IS CONSIDERED LITTLE BY SOME) IT IS NO WHERE NEAR AS SMALL AS YOUR PEA SIZED BRAIN.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN – USE SOME MOUTHWASH.
YOUR PIE HOLE SMELLS LIKE SHIT!!!!!!!!!
From one lesbian to another………..Joan, all of us lesbians know that you are gay, you performed at the Boston Pride parade…..just come out….I did, and lots of other lesbians have, follow the other famous lesbians…Ellen, Melissa, Rosie…etc…..It will not hurt your career, you should not be ashamed of who you are…….GIRL COME OUT AND ADMIT IT!!!!!!!
