      The blind item - transgender child of Superstar parents -

      Isabelle Cruise? Am I right or am I right?

      The Willis girls are all girly - It's not one of them.

      Tom Cruise seems ashamed of Isabelle - I think it's her.

      G-A-Y will be sadly missed - to all you USA peps u just don't get how big a part this club has played in every Gay (and straight) persons life in London!

      The Astoria has housed acts such as the rolling stones, Kylie & Madonna to name but a few it was a great night out an London will never be the same - it was a right of passage and an institution - now it will be a bloody train station!!!!

      =( - im going on Saturday to the closing party to shake my thang! lolz

      …like what was done to Chelsea in NYC!!!!

      It probably will be replaced with fucking 'Repuglican' Breeders and thier 2 seat-wide baby-strollers, art galleries (R.I.P. Spike) with over-priced UTTER crap or a Chinese (SSSSSSSSSSSS!!) Nail Salon.

      Shout out to London - I'm very sorry :( - Are clubs Xenon, Asylum and Palladium still around?? :(

      Cause the gay trend has been played out and it's almost over! Now we will see a trend of unhappy, bitter 18 to 30 year olds who snipe and say mean things about everyone else because they are miserable and pissed because they thought it was a cool thing . . .till it wasn't cool anymore!

      Fast forward and watch Lindsay Lohan in about five years! I pray she makes it out okay, she has been confused by Hollywood and the desire to have attention, from anyone, anyhow, anywhere!

      27

      thank fukking crist! that place is rancid! can't wait for it to be knocked down - though apparently OMO will be taking G-A-Y's place so it will still be a rancid sess pit of homosexual goings on. Don't get me wrong, the gays are great, but what a fucking shit club! Shit soundsystem, smells of stale beer, sweat and cum! They need to knock it down - and I hope Heaven will be closed next!

      So Sad. Every time I am in London or passing through, I go to G-A-Y. I was there a couple of times in May and had a blast. By the way, there were plenty of straight people there too.

      Aww, this is so sad. I went there every week for the 4 months I lived in London.. really helped me come outta my shell… saw the sugababes, emma bunton, sophie ellis bextor, and a slew of other cheese brit pop. Such a good time, cheap drinks, indulgent music.. Bring G-A-Y to LA!!!!
