The first openly gay man in the NBA wants you to read his words — Jason Collins is seeking a book deal!!
Apparently he's writing a memoir, though we're not sure if we really want one yet… unless he promises to publish ANOTHER one after his career as an out-and-proud-gay-man is over! Seriously, his crazy story has just begun!
Regardless, three different publishing houses are reporting that they've been contacted by him

The Jackie Robinson movie 42 is getting some decent buzz and reviews, but we have a feeling it's because those people reviewing the movie weren't Jackie's former teammates and also have no idea how things actually went down! LOLz!
According to 88-year-old George 'Shotgun' Shuba, the story the movie tells behind the iconic photo of Jackie shaking hands with him isn't quite right. In fact, they just decided to rewrite history altogether and CUT him from the scene!!
Here's what George says:

We say the NFL is READY for an openly gay player!!
Sure, we're willing to bet it'll be hard at first, but breaking into something like this will always be. It just takes the brave first few to make history, and the rest will change with them! Plus, we get the feeling that A LOT of the players will actually turn out to be super supportive!
That's why we're pumped to hear that there's an active NFL player on the cusp of coming out publicly!

Someone get us a wig!
Cuz we need Bradley Cooper to share some of that with us! Ha!
The former Sexiest Man Alive and Silver Linings Playbook actor has apparently been living his single status to the fullest!!
According to an onlooker at the SLP Grey Goose dinner in London, February 8 marked the night when Bradley would flirt with MTV host Laura Whitmore. The spy says she happily gave him her digits after he asked. So one can only imagine what came later!
…well, if anything.
Because TWO DAYS LATER he was said to be seen grinding all up on Alice Eve at a BAFTA afterparty.
But wait… just wait… after he indulged in some dirty dancing with the 31-year-old actress, he apparently left with 27-year-old Gemma Arterton!! And those two continued the night at The Rose Club until 2am. Mmm!
Boy was WER-KING IT!
That very same day though, he reportedly charmed the pants off model Suki Waterhouse at Elle's Style Awards, with a source saying:
