Rosie Dishes On Lesbianism In Hollywood's Past

Before Rosie and other celebs came out publicly, many of Hollywood's lesbians were underground.

Rosie stopped by Watch What Happens and dished with Andy Cohen on lifestyles of Hollywood's lesbians.

The talk host spoke on clues she and Ellen gave audiences. She spoke with Ellen before she appeared on Rosie's old show about outting Ellen's character on Ellen's sitcom.

Ellen stated "We find out she's Lebanese. "There have been clues, you see her eating baba ghanoush."

Which Rosie replies:, "Maybe I'm Lebanese. I could be Lebanese myself." She explains the comments.

I didn't want [Ellen] to be out there alone, and we were friendly at the time … She had called me and told me she was going to have her character come out. I said to her, let's play it, lets walk the line … and she said OK. And I think gay people got it, but straight people did not.

Rosie also talks about how underground parties were held for Hollywood's lesbians.

She harkens to days of secret parties featuring Melissa Ethridge, Ellen, and a young Sara Gilbert.

Hey Glambert! The Fans Want YOU In American Idiot On Broadway!

fans-want-adam-lambert-to-play-st-jimmy-in-american-idiot

Oh, we like the sound of this!

Melissa Etheridge recently wrapped up her guest-starring gig on Broadway as St. Jimmy in the musical American Idiot, leaving many to wonder who will take on the role once her successor, Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong exits the part, as well.

According to a poll on Broadway.com, the fans have spoken, and they want to see none other than Adam Lambert take the role of the nefarious drug dealer!

The American Idol finalist got 37% of the votes, followed by Katy Perry with 16%, and Lady GaGa with 12%!

ALL excellent choices! But we think with the Glambert's theater background, he should seriously consider getting his Broadway on!

What do U think?? Who should play St. Jimmy??

More From Melissa's Ex, Tammy, On Poor Living Conditions

tammy-lynn-tears-into-ex-melissa-etheridge-on-blog__opt1.jpg

She's blogging up a storm now.

Following her extensive rant against the world who she thought deserved to know her side of the story about her split with Melissa Etheridge, Tammy Lynn Michaels posted another entry yesterday, describing the state of her current living conditions.

Once again, its a pretty lengthly entry, so we'll skip ahead to the part where she describes the condition of her house. As backstory, you should know the both her and her children are very sick this week, so that's added to the dismay of her home life. Tammy writes:

i have had the cold thing for two weeks
and as i cough up green
i am hoping the shades will fade to lemon
and let go of my lungs and we'll be on our merry way

but until then
there's piles of toys (trucks!!!!)
and dolls and crayons
and some towels on the floor
next to my bed from where
one threw up last night
–i'm waiting to see what he has–
i need to empty trash cans
of regurged whatnots and trash
i need to do some laundry
pay some bills
balance the checkbook
make an appointment with the phone company
cuz the 3 pound rat in the garage
ate through the phone wire before we caught it
(god i love my landlords)

and just sort of in general…
get the house in order before the kids
come back home tomorrow….

My god! A 3 pound rat? Disgusting! What kind of hovel is this woman living in? We're disgusted to think about the type of squalor she's forced to endure. Makes us sick.

And this…this is where the mother of Melissa's children is forced to live. We thought you were more considerate than this, BB. Why aren't you helping her out?!
