Cate Blanchett Joins the Bi Brigade

She's dangerously disingenuous. Moreso than Kidman or Aniston or Jolie.

Why R1

Yes R1 I agree. In real life she's a terrible actress. Kidman is almost open and warm compared to her.

She was amazing in Elizabeth.

I am so sick of this "well, you know, I'm not completely hetero".

It used to be that gay men were the IT! accessories of straight female celebrities and now BEING gay is the new trend.

I'm glad everyone from Miley Cyrus to Cate Blanchett are finding the "courage" to come out about their sexuality, now that gay marriage is being legalized everywhere you look and gays are a hot news topic.

I agree with OP. SOMEBODY needs some press.

Am I wrong or is even Taylor Swift getting in on this type of shit?

All women have had sex with other women but they have partnerships with men

I'm more surprised with a woman admitting that she never had sex with another woman than the other way around

"It used to be that gay men were the IT! accessories of straight female celebrities and now BEING gay is the new trend."

There is a difference between being bicurious (or whatever) and actually coming out as gay/lesbian. She didn't say she was a dyke. Actually, few actress have come out as being totally gay though many have claimed to be bi or experimental

I applaud it, no matter the motive or truth behind it. If I were a fabulous mega-woman like her I'd probably "come out" as bi also, just to support the movement - who cares what people think?

I wonder if that's what's up here.

Bi actresses have always been a dime a dozen

Hereafter, she will be known to me as Lady GLAADriel?

I used to think that she was effortlessly cool. Now, I believe that she is just as obsessed about image as most celebrities.

Ignatius and Edith?

I hope she names the next two Cuthbert and Agnes.

Lol r10

Good on her for feeling comfortable enough to publicly admit it. The anti-bi crowd can fuck right off.

Most women are bisexual. Study after study shows it. Cate is an opportunistic witch, however. Sure it's true. It was also true that Cate was sexually attracted to women in 1997. The dumb bitch is saying this now to stay relevant.

I always thought she pinged.

Of course this question might come up because she is playing a lesbian character in her next film

To be anti-bi is to be anti-woman. Women are inherently bisexual. Cate is also inherently desperate. Women being bi is constant and hardwired-as-female-sexuality. But celebs admitting to being bi is the same as adopting a minority baby: just another celeb-twat fad.

[quote]To be anti-bi is to be anti-woman.

What horseshit.

[quote]Women are inherently bisexual.

What even more horseshit.

She's promoting a film about a bisexual woman, she didn't just bring it up out of nowhere.

If only some MALE bisexual actors would follow their female counterparts and be open about their sexuality. It's bad enough that the gay ones won't come out, but the bisexual ones are possibly even bigger cowards.

[quote]If only some MALE bisexual actors would follow their female counterparts and be open about their sexuality.

Why is everyone looking at me!?

Are you a lesbian, R17?

Another BI actress....

But you won't see an A-List actor claiming he's BI or gay.

Why do you ask, r20?

And why should it matter? Horseshit is horseshit.

"Why didn't they say Cate's lesbian past"?

There are in fact a large number of studies on female sexuality that confirm their tendency towards bi or fluid sexuality. Most women aren't just hysterical and illogical. No, they are also bi-sexual.

R19 Bradley Cooper wishes he was bi. Then he wouldn't have to try so hard to seem into women. He's gay through and through. Colin Farrell, Daniel Craig, they're the bisexuals.

It's not a fad if she enjoys threesomes and group sex.

I ask, R21, because it's generally lesbians that very emotionally deny scientific studies on female sexuality. Women are almost always bi. Sorry you can't deal with that.

Oh, and what about Downey, Jr? He's on top of the world now and will probably keep doing okay even when the superhero film bubble bursts and even despite his recent comments, but he still most likely won't ever admit to being into guys. Especially since he became a Republican.

Let's see those scientific studies proving you right.

R27 No, people with brains deny statements that aren't true. Deal with that, you miserable cunt.

R30 is simply confirming the stereotype of hysterical lesbos losing their shit in the face of scientific fact about female sex drive/interests. Hilarious. That's as predictable as women being bi.

BTW R30, study after study over the last twenty years has confirmed that women are mostly bi. Have fun in your flat-Earth bubble. This is the lezzie version of creationism.

Damn, the bislut brigade is out in full force on this thread.

R21 The cock (which A-list must idealize) is credible only when gobbled up by the warm pink flesh of Vadge. (Unless you're an English public school boy, are drunk, or being hazed.)

Vadge by itself, in pairs or more, just get farther away from forming a cock (without hitting up a lying psycho from the sperm bank.)

r31, how do you know r30 is a lesbian?

How do you even know she is female?

So you actually know nothing about the subject you're arguing about, R29. Can't say I'm surprised. A simple search will bring up a multitude of results on this subject. Odd that you've never looked into it even as you pretend to know it's untrue.

All human behavior is social construction.

R27, I'm a lesbian and so is my girlfriend.

My 3 half sisters are very straight.

No, not all women are bi.

I'm not a lesbian you stupid frau and I couldn't care less about women's sexuality. I know bisexuality is a thing and I'm not against anyone who's bi. I'm just not buying your bullshit, go try to sell it somewhere else. And you're the one who seems to be full of hate.

Well, I'm not completely gay, because I like women too.

This is just the latest in one of Blanchett's rather "shocking" interviews. She ripped up a journalist who asked her a silly question and there was another instance where she swore non-stop while discussing a Disney movie.

Remember how she kept throwing shade at people during the last Oscar campaign?

She's obviously a bitch but now I'm wondering if she isn't unhinged as well. The claim that she has had "many" lesbian relationships is odd with a lesbian themed movie coming out. But it's even odder as she claims to have such a happy marriage to a man.

In any case, she has given every interviewer something to ask her about during every press junket for Carol. It's going to be interesting to watch.

You'd never hear a mainstream leading man claiming to have had sex with men

Opportunism at its finest. I've lost a lot of respect for her, I thought she was above this kind of thing.

Pleeze. Blanchett is promoting a movie in which she plays bi so of course she'll say as part of the promotion, she has had past ( way past) experience with women. Attractive A-list actress bumping pussy has never hurt box office.A-list actors admitting they suck dick off screen.. not so much.

What did you goddamn expect. She won a bloody Oscar for playing me.

nothing turns actress bi or gayer quicker than a lesbian movie needing publicity

She is a great actress, there is no need to resort to this.

But most actresses are insecure and fucked up mentally, she is no different.

Ha!

I agree, r47!

Audiences are OK with BI actresses.

Gay/BI actors on other hand....

I'm still shocked that Doogie Howser married a man! 😮

No trailer out yet for this movie?

She's peddling a lesbian movie so of course she has to talk about having had lesbian experiences just like any other actor who has to tie in the movie he's or she's in to their personal life. Most of that is usually bullshit. I'm sure some sucked are intrigued enough about Cates alleged lesbian relationships to pay the 12 bucks to see her play lesbian.

The more publicity she does the less I like her.

R42, that's because you're American.

I remember several years ago when a very popular TV show host from France named Thierry Ardisson admitted publicly that he had had sex with men in his younger years even though he is a well known womanizer.

He said it wasn't his thing but that he might be interested in trying it again.

Europeans are more open about these things.

I have a cousin who lives in Thailand and he says that sexuality for men is considered very fluid there. Lots of guys banging ladyboys.

r54, a talk show host is not the same thing as a leading man

Kate introduced Spence to pegging at my pool house in 1942.

The movie looks like Far From Heaven. Great art direction as usual.

R55 Says who?

Cate is a crazy bitch who doesn't care about Dylan's truth.

R55, no it's not the same but Ardisson was a very big deal in France for many years. Now I think he's retired.

Josh Hutcherson from The Hunger Games once said he was open about one day having a relationship with a man.

Actor Thomas Jane said he had sex with men for money when he was younger.

Singer Gavin Rossdale had a relationship with a drag queen in his younger years.

Come to think of it, many men, gay and straight have over the years admitted to being sexually fluid but are simply ignored by the media.

R60 Rossdale didn't want that to be known. Stop trying to act like it's as easy for men to be out because it's not.

[quote]You'd never hear a mainstream leading man claiming to have had sex with men

Sad but absolutely TRUE.

Tom Hardy had to backpedal.

R60, those are amazing examples

o_0

So I guess Cate's crush on Adele Ex was real.

Kidman is ten times better on screen.

I Iove her random coked-out behavior. Her talk show appearances are usually mannered and annoying now. She seems unfriendly, ungracious and superior, which usually means career failure is right around the corner. Good riddance.

She was on Oprah once and was asked what her last meal would be if she was on death row and she answered "a bowl of rice."

Being a foofie, that's enough for me to hate her for life.

Oops, I meant foodie.

hehe

What would Cate say if Barbara Walters asked her what tree she would want to be?

Didn't she say that she's bipolar? That would explain her weirdness. I don't understand why posters are shitting on her, lesbians and bi women should be happy that it's so much easier for females to be open about their sexuality.

R70 because this is DL they tend to hate actresses like Cate and women in general.

so predictable the hate on Cate here

R60, you are making things up. Gavin Rossdale hid his gay relationship. Thomas Jane was "gay for pay" not exactly the same thing as being fluid

And I haven't seen any statistics to prove that male bisexuality is common anywhere...

Perhaps she could just try acting.

R72, male bisexuality IS common.

But what's not common is admitting to it which is why it remains invisible but there are a lot of behavioural outcomes which points out to bisexuality

Really now, r6? That's a whole lot of bullshit!

She,like so many other female actresses is coyly using the bi thing because straight guys find it to be a turn on to think of two women doing getting it on. Of course, in their minds it is always two hot feminine women, not within someone like Rosie O. Women don't really feel the same turn on for two guys doing it so you don't as many actors coming out as bi. If a majority of straight women did, and straight men didn't care, they too, would coyly try to insinuate they were bi.

I don't believe some of these actresses who talk about bi experiences are really bi. That is why she now seems fake to me.

r76 Guys aren't getting hard thinking about Cate Blanchett and another woman fucking. You type like a dopey teenager.

R76 yeah, because women "can't live without men" right? they are saying these things because "men love girl on girl" action. Is that your stupid assumption?

I'd forgotten she was awful on some interview with Kimmel or Fallon. Absolutely manic, talking about how her mucous membranes secreted too much mucous or something. Very, very peculiar.

Oh please. She's over 40 and potentially hormonally imbalanced. Do you really think she's having gobs of sex anyway? Particularly to a dick (lit.) she's known intimately for two decades?

As for all women being bi, hmm, no. I am and have known a lot of women. We're all somewhere on the continuum, of course, but many are really far on the phallus-lovin' side, and many are on the asexual side due to hormonal imbalance or abuse issues or simply getting older/being tired. I do agree that behavior is somewhat of a social construct, however. I do NOT believe that only 10-15% of the population are gay. Until all orientation is completely accepted, you can't know the true numbers because people lie and are ashamed.

Honestly, I bet she'll take it back in her next interview. Blanchett likes to toy with her interviewers, but sometimes she overestimates her cleverness and loses control of the message. It seems to me that's what happened here.

Also, what R11 said.

Every celebrity is obsessed with their image. You're an idiot for thinking that any of them are "effortlessly cool." Don't blame the celebrities for that.

It does seem strange that there been no rumours about Cate being lesbian or bisexual.

r68 u were rite the 1st time - u foofie

r80 that almost sounds racists againstwoman who cant control hormones. i will investigate furthur.

R83 everyone on L chat has been saying she pinged for years. On one hand she does ping on the other this stinks of PR for her lesbian love story movie.

Old Hollywood will never forgive this bitch for the way she shat all over Judy Garland at the Golden Globes, in front of Liza no less. And people were mortified about how she was comporting herself all over NYC as the Widder Hoffman after PSH died. Truly offensive and distasteful. I think the woman is deranged.

What did she do R86? I don't remember.

What happened to the more accurate designation of being a homosexual who happens to love or has loved someone of the opposite gender. There are very few individuals born before 1990 who are purely homosexual in experiences. Most adults have had sex with the opposite gender at least once. Does that make all of them bi sexual?

Nobody really got surprised by that statement. Everybody suspected that she is bi, or a lesbian.

She seems too clever to be just straight. Sorry straight Dataloungers...

*giggles

Hey, Jennifer. Come into my room, number 69. I'll be waiting for you little girl.

@ R86 I don't know what she did to Garland but I will never forgive her for what she did to Sandra Bullock during her Oscar acceptance speech.

Coloratura snake.

R90, Jennifer seems to be taken aback. :P

Yeah she does! I love[d] her as an actress, but not sure I would enjoy C Blanchett in a personal situation.

Have always loved Julianne Moore, though.

What she said sounded like a flippant joke to me.

Yeah, there didn't seem to be much to it.

R6, Never had, never wanted to, never will !!!

She's a Hollywood Muffin Top. Just another member of the Hollywood Muffin Top Mafia.

Where's Blanchett's publicist? She used to post on here, running to the rescue every time Blanchett made a gaffe during her Oscar campaign.

Honestly, I'm beginning to think Blanchett's dumb as a box of rocks. This declaration (to Variety??) stinks to high heaven of an attempt to make Carol critic proof.

Carol must suck.

[quote]Cate Blanchett has hinted at past lesbian romances in an interview with Variety.

Jesus Christ, women in Hollywood will do anything for attention. Don't support these kind of people.

Oh look, it's the "all women are bi" troll still trying to make her fantasy a reality. The funniest thing is that she pretends to be a gay man (as if any gay man is as obsessed with female bisexuality as she is).

R100, every actor and actress are looking for attention, but that also doesn't mean that Blanchett lied.

Can't you see, ffs, that this woman's choices and aura are tres lesbian?

The only straight affair we know that she certainly had was the one she still has with her ugly husband. I bet it was a marriage of convenience and a safety zone for her.

I lost respect for her when she defended Woody Allen. Talk about an ass kisser.

She's always been a handsome woman. LOL.

I think she made another unsuccessful joke.

Still like her as an actress, but I can't bear reading her interviews, or watching her awards speeches.

"Someone needs some press, obviously."

That.

Or perhaps she was just honestly answering the question and not covering up the fact that she has indeed had relationships with women.

I tend to think the latter.

But then I'm not as cynical and bitter as you are.

[quote]I bet it was a marriage of convenience and a safety zone for her.

You have zero idea what you're talking about. You've never even been in the same room with these people.

R104, no it was not a joke this time...

Blanchett on 'Carol':

”If Carol lived today, i couldn’t see her marching in a gay pride parade. “Her sexuality isn’t politicized. I think there are a lot of people that exist like that who don’t feel the need to shout things from the rafters.”

It's clearly that Blanchett doesn't like labels for sexual orientation and nobody can blame her for that. She is an actress, she needs to protect her private life and her mystery...

With Gillian Anderson in the photo below... She describes Carol as “unknowable,” but she could just as easily be talking about herself; unlike many celebrities today, she covets her privacy. For example, she says she’ll never join Twitter. “I think I’d end up in rehab,” she jokes. “That stuff is addictive.” She doesn’t Google herself either. She finds out she’s made headlines when she walks her kids to school and the crossing guard tells her, “What they said about you — that was terrible!” Blanchett realizes we live in a society of snoops. “We need to get into people’s private lives now,” she says. “If they are hiding something, they are dishonest.”

R106, and how do you exactly know that i've never been in the same room with these people? You know about my job now?

Stop being hysterical and stop projecting your bitterness on me. Cate Blanchett is not straight, if you cannot read correctly the signs, it's not my fault, or Blanchett's...

You always think the worst about famous people, but sometimes they say the truth and you know what? Blanchett was very discreet in that interview. She never said that she was a lesbian. If you were clever, you would understand her hints, but unfortunately i gather that you are a hardcore dyke that is upset with people who are not as hardcore as you are.

[quote]Stop being hysterical and stop projecting your bitterness on me

You gather all that from a two-sentence post? Talk about projecting.

My point: it's not always all that clear what brings two people together, but people (like you) will believe what they want to believe. And I am male, by the way.

What kind of a male are you? Show me your balls, or stfu. Nobody should believe twisters like you.

I am a "hardcore dyke" because I'm inclined to believe that her marriage to her husband is the real thing? Right.

R111, by writing 'You have zero idea what you're talking about. You've never even been in the same room with these people', you didn't imply that you meant that her marriage to her husband is the real thing. Be true with your previous intentions. You obviously wanted to say that Blanchett as an actress lies for publicity. And yes, i still believe you are a woman. There is a small percentage, of course that you are a man, but then you are just one of those little twisters.

Let's not make this page yellow. Stop being an insincere arse.

Maybe if she came up off the muff now and then she'd make a decent film.

No, I meant to say that when we start surmising things about other people's intimate relationships and what binds and keeps people together, we are probably more likely to be wrong than right. Blanchett and her husband share a passion for the theatre and have worked together professionally for years, which is not a bad foundation for any marriage. Of course, I admit I know just as little as you do.

You, however, make a lot of baseless assumptions ("woman," "hardcore dyke," "hysterical," "projecting"), which does tell me that, indeed, it is better to end this discussion now.

R114, you started making these assumptions yourself, first. You don't have a clue if i know about Blanchett, or not, if i have met her, or not, but then you write that i have no clue, as if you know what i know, or i where i have been before in my life.

She loves very much her husband, but she didn't fall in love with him. That is not an assumption, but don't start me again. Ok, let's end it here, before it goes beyond control.

Are you French? You write like a French person.

Lol, you are impossible. Only a woman would make such a comment about my...french roots.

Are you referring to my previous typo, by the way? It goes without saying that i wanted to write '...but then you write that i have no clue, as if you know what i know, or where i have been before in my life.'

(Sorry to burst your bubble, but i'm not French)

This thread is for Blanchett and not for me though, right...?

These last few posts are a riot. Has anyone here slept with la Blanchett ?

Would that Carol the movie were as fun.

Whatever happened to the "Dyke Adele Troll" that person was pretty fabulous!

If I recall correctly, the "Dyke Adele Troll" predicted that Cate the Great would lose out to the French newcomer.

So much wrong there, but I'm sure she/he is out buying up a new rune stone to throw come next Oscar's.

Maybe there should be a "Dyke Cate Troll" now.

Labels? All gay actors won't come out of the closet because they insist, they don't want to be labeled. Everyone else can be labeled but not actors.

I like her as an actress but she always rubs me the wrong way in her interviews.

First thread I've posted about women being bi, R101. If you're hearing it from multiple posters it's for good reason- testing has shown it's true. So it looks like you're the one living in a fantasy buble.

I have seen other posters mention it and, indeed, a modicum of research confirms that tests on women have shown most to be sexually fluid or bi.

For whatever reason lesbians always seem to blow gaskets when this is mentioned. Very defensive. Veey funny.

I'm female and was bi-curious in my 20s. Kissed and made out with one woman and had sex with another (utterly disgusting). So I was more into the fantasy. the reality of having to eat pussy killed it form me.

So I'm 100% straight but had two lesbian incidents. I don't considrer myself bi because of it.

Is there any doubt that she is yet another notch on Gillian Anderson's bed post?

She was thoroughly dislikeable on Graham Norton the last time I saw her. I wish she brought her acting talents to her promotional duties.

[quote]I don't considrer myself bi because of it.

Hmm...someone who's 100% straight doesn't fantasize about having sex with women. So you're not 100% straight. You didn't like the experience of eating pussy but being bi or a lesbian is more than just eating pussy.

Didn't she actually say re: Twitter, I'd end up in rehab - like Liza Minnelli!! The woman knows no bounds of decency.

most are bi. end of story and i am a different person posting this. Women just can't understand themselves.

Somebody opened up the floodgates of L Chat refugee hell in here today..

Her costar Rooney is firmly in the closet. I wonder if, in an attempt to mount an awards campaign, she comes out?

When is Cate Blanchett going to mock Robin William's suicide for laughs? Those Australians and their wacky sense of humor!

I admire her acting prowess but she doesn't seem very likeable as a person. There's something brittle and cold about her. Her words make her sound mean as well. She has no warmth to her.

She was way ahead of her interviewer and is way ahead of the OP who thinks she's looking for attention. Stupidity is rarely self realized.

we are in lchat hell. Fucking A.!! Dykes (no all women) fuck up everything they touch

Time for Cate to come clean. Everybody knows she ate Helena B-C's pussy.

Moore is another one of Cate's girls.

Cate thinks the Nepal earthquakes are comedy gold!

[quote]Her costar Rooney is firmly in the closet. I wonder if, in an attempt to mount an awards campaign, she comes out?

Yes, Rooney is in the closet, big time.

We had an Australian poster here who did work briefly at the Sydney Theater Company and never said anything about Blanchett's marriage not being legit. Blanchett seems to have a very tight bond with her husband. He seems like a nice, stable guy. If you go by his profession, I'd say he's well read and probably an interesting person, intellectually. I imagine he's very supportive of her and their family.

Whether Blanchett slept with women in the past, I have no clue. She tends to say stuff for attention. This is just one of those things.

Oh please R139!

Anyone with a brain can see the dike coming out of Blanchett's dick.

Girl is a carpet muncher!

Even is she were a "dike", which she isn't, she isn't going to much your carpet any time soon.

Rooney Mara is still in a relationship with Charlie McDowell. I do have to believe the other poster said that she's deeply in the closet.

Her family would not like the idea for her coming out as a lesbian. After all, the Maras have a reputation to protect with owning two NFL football teams.

I suspect Cate doesn't do a lot in the bedroom, with men or women. She lays back and has her partner go to town. She might whack them with a riding crop now and then, but she does it lazily.

R141, it's "dyke" not "dike" and "munch your carpet" not "much your carpet."

Learn how to spell you idiot.

R125, for some reason i don't think that you ate pussy, but you are scared that eating pussy might be disgusting. Well, i think if the pussy is not clean and you are not attracted enough to the other woman, of course and it will be a bad experience. I think you are homophobic, but you are definitely sexually attracted to beautiful women. By the way, you sound like Kate Beckinsale. Kate is that you?

[quote][R141], it's "dyke" not "dike" and "munch your carpet" not "much your carpet."

I put "dike" in quotes, because that's what R139 wrote. Maybe using quotes just wasn't clear enough for an idiot like you.

And yes, I misspelled "munch". Big fucking deal.

Blanchett is still not going to lick your snatch, R144. Ever. No matter how you spell it.

to 145. are you that desperate of a dyke to want to eat that confused woman's snatch.

[quote]I put "dike" in quotes, because that's what [R139] wrote.

I meant, that's what R140 wrote, the person I was responding to.

Something tells me R140 = R144.

Must have touched a nerve there, no? Is Blanchett your masturbation fantasy, R144?

since most of the lurkers are " straight" women, tell me that i am right that most women are bisexual.

R149, straight women come here because of gay men. They are hags. It has nothing to do with being bisexual.

Exactly.. how many straight women bum-rush towards lesbian bars, lesbian-only space? Exactly about none.

It's gay men and gay male space they gravitate towards, for better and for worse.

"I do NOT believe that only 10-15% of the population are gay. Until all orientation is completely accepted, you can't know the true numbers because people lie and are ashamed."

People can lie on surveys, but there are other ways of finding out what people want or desire (i.e. the percent of same sex personal ads, percent of internet searches for gay porn and other gay sites, and so forth)

[quote]how many straight women bum-rush towards lesbian bars, lesbian-only space

Hmm...that's because there are very few if any lesbian-only spaces...duh! Lesbians hang out in gay male spaces too, numbnuts

In fact, the last lesbian bar closed in San Francisco recently

Fine, R153.. how many straight women went catfighting for tickets at Michfest vs. the number of chicks who constantly show up in droves at West Hollywood gay (mostly male) bars?

to r153

she or maybe he does not get that there really is no such thing as lesbian bars. women love to flock to male spaces..always and than bitch if a man goes to theirs at higher rates

r155, you sound dumb. When are women "flocking" to male spaces? Women really don't show up in "droves" to gay bars, you might see a few hags here and there but that's it.

who watches most of the lesbian porn... self id "straight" women. lesbian porn is pretty far on the list of hetero male list of porn and many of these so called lesbians who watch gay male porn. i seen deep argument between dykes on gay porn. most women re bi and that is final.

I wonder i still not got a response from "straight women. we already got responses from the fence

r156

are you sure about that? women are boring and so they decide to invade

Look everybody. R156, no doubt NOT a gay man, and undoubtedly a female, is the know-all expert on the goings-on in gay male bars.

Because bachelorette parties in gay bars didn't become a problem.

Or the word Ab.bey isn't banned on DL because it denotes a formerly great gay male bar ruined and overrun with straight women.

r159, go to some other gay bars. They are not "overrun" with women and I have never seen a female bachelorette party in any of the gay bars I've been to.

in every gay youtube channel, in every gay bar and even this site has more "straight" women than gay men and this is a gay male site. how that happened? Of course i am right and you are wrong.

Maybe not Podunk, Indiana, but West Hollywood certainly has been ruined and overrun. I've heard the same complaints about Boystown, Chicago.

Lesbians only believe in mixed space when it's convenient for them.

ha ha

i don't get women. why don't they crate their own stuff and leave us alone. us men talking about our fantasies and you have these straight women lurking like the creeps they are.

But of course!

Gillian Anderson has one of the biggest dicks that side of the "L" world.

Verdict: Guilty!!!

Blanchett loves the pussy.

R82=Sycophant

No straight woman is androgynous as Cate is. She pings to high heaven.

Speaking of women in gay bars, the dumb fucking excuse from so many women that girls "fake" being into girls to get the attention of men has been proven false over and over again. These whores come in loud and pushy and half of them end up making out with each other in West Holly bars. Are they trying to get GAY men turned on? Give me a break. Women are attracted to each other.

Then you have dumbass women like my ex's aunt. All that women would talk about were women she found hot in a given film or when she went out. I remember her watching shit films with hot guys but she would consistently focus on how beautiful a women looked in her panties or stripped naked. Claimed she was straight. Yeah. Right.

So many women like that. Most of them.

r125 = a typical homophobic frau.

Isn't Anderson known as the strap-on Queen?

How many of you straight fraus lurking are actually lesbians/bi's? Can I see a show of hands? If you so admit, would you kindly exit rear door to L Chat and leave DL to us gay men, pretty please? :-)

Gurl @ R125 Please!!!!

You sound like those "straight" guys that say "I only sucked dick that one time I was drunk, so I'm straight" lol

You like the carpet munching. Own it bitch!

R125 = a typical woman. Bisexual that thinks she can magically decide to be straight. That story reads about like a Top taking it in the ass and then deciding he's straight because "it was disgusting".

News flash, women: if you take another woman to bed that means you're attracted to them. That doesn't change just because the sex wasn't as mindowing as you thought it should be. If every guy gave up on guys just because he picked up a lousy lay, the gay community would be nonexistent.

Dumb fraus refer to bisexuality or lesbian attractions the same way they refer to "rape". If they decide in the morning they didn't have as good a time as they wanted or they are ashamed of who they fucked, suddenly they were "tricked" or maybe assaulted. If they didn't like eating pussy, well, that means all those times Joan or Sally made their pussy wet suddenly never counted at all. Nor does the throbbing they feel when they look at their daughter's friends. All because they SAY SO, damn you.

Logically, of course, this doesn't change the fact that they are almost all sexually attracted to women. But women don't tend to like logic very much.

Aww, lol at the lesbians who think we're here because we're attracted to them.

That's cute.

Awww, lol at fraus in denial who think we care whether they're attracted to lesbians.

The bitch just made a joke about the Philly train wreck saying she felt like one also.

no such thing as a straight woman but most women like to say that for some reason. i need an explanation

straight hag you know you want pussy. stop lying

Hey straight hag, I also used to think eating pussy is disgusting and now I can't get enough of it. There's still hope for you.

It's always been safer for a woman to confess to a same-sex experience than it is for a man.

The big test will be whether any A-list male actors are willing to do this.

Her son is co cute!

to 181

you are right men and women despise male homesexuals and or male same sex experience than the opposite

She adopt a black baby...?

I always think of gay/bi actresses as blow back (sorry ;) from Casting Couch Syndrome. That would certainly make you hate having sex with men.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R186 Edith? Dat a black name?

The straight world hates male homosexuals because they see them as being "like women" - therefore bad

The straight world sees lesbians as "lesbian sex" as in "porn sex by straight people." They don't really like lesbians in real life

i find it strange that for someone who is as well known as she (okay, not a huge box office draws but still a oscar winning respected actress) that NOWHERE and no how was her sexuality ever in the media before now? before she was the one who "spilled the beans?"..

is it because 1)she's british, a woman and it's more of the norm than a male, no big deal 2) because she is NOT a huge box office globally famous superstar?

I think it is because she is from elsewhere

OP post a thread about an A list actress admitting to be bisexual, then many are outraged that women of all orientations are posting in that said thread.

Who is the idiot here? The posts asking women to get out of their space - why did you come in this thread that's about a woman eating pussy. OP created space that is appropriate for us to be in. I'm no hag and you guys can be as boring as hell but these threads keep me coming back to datalounge. You are not that fabulous but Cate is.

To be fair female bisexuality is so common that there will be celebs that fall through the cracks as far as their affairs. My brother used to work with a well known casting director. I used to pester him about which guys were gay (answer: probably 2/3s of names I'd ask about were a 'yes'). But women? The few times I asked he merely said it would be easier to name the ones that hadn't eaten pussy. That doesn't mean they're gay but almost none of them are straight.

Sherry Lansing fwiw has probably slept with more famous women than prime Warren Beatty.

What Americans don't seem to grasp is that the majority of LUVVIES -- to use the brilliant English term for the self-regarding acting profession -- are bisexual, or have diddled to some degree in their past.

Being inherently narcissistic they owe it to themselves to explore adoration from both genders and share the glory of their body.

The surprise is, if they're not.

Blanchett is a luvvie with bells on.

I love too how the English are faintly contemptuous of actors. It's the correct attitude. Acting is no big deal. Anyone can make faces and "pretend". And most people given a bit of practice - except Keira Knightly, for example, are fairly good at it.

R192,

Ms. Lansing aside, your friend is confusing coke-fueled parties where women have hazy trysts with each other, all egged on under the watchful eye of a connected movie producer or actor, with a true-blue gay woman who feels affection and eroticism towards other women.

Most actresses are dead-straight or 'bi' because wanted to be watched and admired on screen is a dream of pretty little girls. I don't think that lesbians have the same narcissistic drives.

And to add, it is slowly changing, thank God, but it seems like anorexia and bulemia are the common core value of most actresses, and those two practices are not conducive to loving other women, or their bodies, at all.

You will find more eroticism among female truck drivers.

I think that many bisexual women are lesbians in the closet. They have to suppress their emotional needs for the favor of their narcissism and as stated before for social reasons. I understand them so well, i know how they play. It's nothing too much. It's just the way it goes, especially in the film industry.

By saying that they are bisexual, most of them don't lie.I think it's a very honest statement because you admit part of the trut(your heart is always more fond of women or of men, either when you are bisexual. Nobody knows for sure who do you like more when you say that you are bi, so it's very convenient and it's not a lie)

The fact that some women find it flattering to be bisexual, means that they crave for women's approval and they get wet and excited at the thought of it. Getting very excited by that thought is certainly not very straight, is it my Datalounge bitter disbelievers?

R194 is a typical idiot frau. It thinks it knows more about the hows and whys of what women are doing in the slutty entertainment world than someone who works and parties (and perhaps sleeps) with many of these people. Yeah, that makes sense. Dumb frau. More concerned with its offended sensibilities and defending against the bette noire of its existence, rampant bisexuality with lesbian/straight women, than it is in getting some good gossip on a gossip forum.

Ugh. Fuckoff, frau!

R192, can we get some male celeb names that are gay? Please? Ignore self-phobic (you're bi, bitches) mommy fraus and give us the goods!

R197, Oh, dear.

Honey, I've been to those parties. Have you?

You seem like the offended one. Why so emotional defending the 'bisexuality' of coked-out, opportunistic actresses?

I've also used the bathroom after these girls and let me tell you, laxatives are like popcorn to these 'bi' gals.

Poop, barf, and starvation make not for an erotic, 'bi' lifestyle.

Now, if you want to discuss librarians, I'm there.

R161, women are boring and on some level know it. That's why they have to invade male areas constantly. Unfortunately if anything at all interesting is going on with the guys they move in on they immediately have to start being the whiny bitches they are, demanding that the men have the "right" tone and agree with them on whatever hot-button topic has set them off this time. Women are schizoid nuts: they need to be around men and the excitement they bring, but they have to make everything "safe" and feminine once they get there. They exist to make everything boring. Fascist cunts.

How convenient for Cate to state her past relationships with women at a time when she's promoting a film about a lesbian. Oh yes, she already has a Best Actress Oscar so that may have loosened her tongue as well. She wasn't too forthcoming about the subject before. I guess she had a cunning plan.

I once used the toilet after an actress on a VERY popular television show and I'm not kidding, she had shit all over the seat.

I guess she was above cleaning it.

Laxatives for a flat stomach, uh-huh.

I live in Hollywood, frau R199. I have no doubt that your boring ass has never been here beyond a cheap vacation. You're just another boring woman that is madder than hell about women's rampant bisexuality. Yawn.

Me too Cate!

R203,

you are funny and have revealed yourself to be a troll.

You live in Hollywood? As in Hollywood proper?

OH HOW GLAMOUROUS

Hunty, your studio apartment on Orange Ave does not exactly qualify you for the demimonde although I'm sure your affair with the cute guitarist above you was fun.

Listen, babaaay,

Most women are NOT bisexual, and that includes actreeeeses.

Actresses tend to be Daddy's girls who like attention, and yes, will make out with another woman for attention, which is why these broads are invading gay men's bars and spaces as they are ALL ASPIRING ACTRESSES

R199, when a woman says that she is bi, or a lesbian, maybe she talks just about her feelings. There are plenty women who have never carried a lesbian affair, but they are lesbians/bisexual.

Don't be so cynical. Not all women can practice their lesbian tendencies as you seem to do and demand... Maybe that's why you are so intolerant of pussycats who are not as active, when it comes to their sexuality.

R199=the pissed off "women aren't bi" troll. No doubt another angry lesbian scared to death of the possibility of wanting a cock. Where does it get the bizarre idea that someone has to be "emotional" about women being bi? They just are. Which is why this lunatic had to rush in here to complain that someone with industry connections said the same thing (it doesn't want or care about good gossip, of course). Another emotional broad transparently trying to project her issues onto others.

And what's with the rest of 199's post where it seems to assume that it can dissuade gay men from noting women's bisexuality by pointing out their gross habits? We're not turned on by fish, you dull cunt.

R206,

well, no, I understand that most women will never even have the opportunity to be with a woman they find attractive in a sexual way.

But that doesn't make most women bi, or most actresses bi, or even Cate Blanchette bi, or all of the phony make-out girls.

I will argue that women are using each other sexually in Hollywood to promote themselves.

How is that a good thing?

R206, are we really supposed to ignore the fact that it was brought up by "another" frau's supposed clubbing in LA before R203 said a word about living in the area? You're the one desperately trying for street cred.

You sound like a sexless spinster. And one that gets very emotionally unhinged about womem's bisexuality. No doubt another crazed dyke.

Can we all agree to distrust most of what comes out of an actor's/actress's mouth?

Honestly, it's their job to lie.

R201, yes, Cate Blanchett is cunning, but it was not her that took the initiative to tell in an interview about the affairs she had with women. The reporter asked her about that. What did you want her to say? To lie? She told the truth and she didn't elaborate on that. Sometimes, we must all understand that actors are not to blame for what they say. They are not those who pose the questions.

Fraus like R208 make everything as boring as their nonexistent sex lives. This place needs to be flushed of shit like R206, who is doing nothing but shitting this thread up with its literal obsession with scat and, appropriately, itself.

Nothing pisses a loony dyke off more than noting the very real nature of women's (bi!)sexuality.

Hers' what I've seen at parties in yes, Hollywood (circa 179-1985).

Rampant cocaine use by everyone, with some heroin unknowingly thrown for bad measure.

Women willing and able to get down with other women in front of any man who has some juice in the business. These women included already established actresses, struggling starlets, and prostitutes.

Thank God I hated drugs and didn't imbibe. The whole scene left a bad taste in my mouth and made me unimpressed by the movie business.

R209, i'm curious about your gender. What you wrote was very ugly and abusive (thank God you wrote that to me and not to someone who is in a more fragile position than mine.) I don't know why you are so angry and passionate about your opinion, but i suggest you calm down. You sound like a broken record. It's not my fault if life is not as you wished it to be. What the hell...

I hope you were just trolling is all i can say. What more can i say? You leave someone no space the way you behave.

And Cate Blanchette comes out as 'bi' after she has already established her career and is married to a man.

Some courage. Why didn't she come out earlier, when it was more risky.

If she were truly a lover of women, then it would have been worth the risk to her career.

She's a fucking phony.

R214

getting down!! yah, defend yourself against the pr trolls, they are here, with their poor grammar, to promote the lie that Cate Blachette is 'bi' when she is just another fake-o celebrity.

Click trolldar on R213. it's turning this thread yellow with its deranged ranting. yeah, it knows Hollywood but has zero interesting gossip. Typical crazy frau.

I seriously doubt this thing goes to many clubs on its motorized scooter at 300-plus pounds.

I wanted to write 'you leave others no space, the way you behave' Big deal. My manners and my grammar is far better than yours, anyway, inconsiderate piglet. Now shut your trap. You overdid it.

Thread is full of two fraus having (what else?) a pity party. Click trolldar between R213 and then R214. Thread lights up in yellow between the two. nobody has to ask 214 what gender it is. what r206 said was mild for DL. but frau dl is trying to whine and guilt trip about it. that only works on straight men, honey.

R189 She's Australian, not British. And i'd argue that she IS quite a big star, especially after all those Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit films, Benjamin Button, Cinderella, etc and then all the prestige pictures. She's played the leading lady to Pitt (x2), DiCaprio, Clooney, etc., and has two Oscars from the past decade or so alone. She's A-List.

I don't know or care if she's bi or not, but this is CLEARLY a publicity grab, and it's worked wonderfully for her. She might even win Best Actress at Cannes this year. I find her very insincere and calculating, something quite Amy Dunne about her.

As for her marriage, it was obviously so she could rise up the ranks of high society Sydney and the local theatre scene. By marrying him early on she got her pick of any theatre role she wanted, as well as the chance to meet people like Gill Armstrong and Geoff Rush who boosted her film career straight out of drama school. And he got a hot, popular, charming starlet for a wife.. She's the poster girl for that very white, very pretentious sect who are oh-so-talented, and have so much 'integrity' (Richard Roxburgh is the male equivalent), doing all the classics and appearing down to earth too. A 'serious actress', an 'actor's actor'. Meanwhile, she does as many interviews, fashion shows, red carpets, talk show appearances, magazine shoots, and cosmetic commercials as Nicole Kidman. At the end of the day she's kind of a poor man's Judy Davis, with half the legitimacy and 1/10th of the talent.

R217 can only throw out the 'fat lesbian' comment because this troll in particular is a teenager, no doubt, who thinks fat jokes are witty.

And the weird obsession with Hollywood parties is so funny.

It's all happening on the westside, but you wouldn't know that.

R216/R214/etc is an obsessed dyke. It saw someone mention how common female bisexuality and just had to take over the thread with a sea of yellow piss (according to this monster, women aren't bi even after having multiple sexual encounters with both sexes; female "logic"). Mission accomplished, frau. Treat yourself to some cheetos.

People throw out the 'fat lesbian' comment because it tends to be true. the same with women, no matter what they say they are, being bi. Both make lesbians pissed off because they know the truth in such statements.

enjoy your day on here, fat bi frau R221. some of us actually have been to clubs around LA in the past thirty years.

Her husband looks like an ugly old woman, so...

R222,

really Cate's management could do so much better. At least find PR who could pass an English exam, or is this what passes for 'talent' in Australia?

You're an intern, correct?

No, you won't get paid for your lunacy here and you are angry about it. But if you want to work for a big star like Cate Blanchette than you and better put on that phony face.

And I only eat Cheetos if they are the Hot n' Spicy variety.

R223,

And what cubs would these be, hmm?

R194, r195, r199, r202, r205, r208, r210, r213, r215, r216, r221, r225 is melting down like no one's business. No doubt she is fat.

R227,

Better to ride a scooter than put shit on the walls of a public toilet, like that famous 'bi' actress did, "she's so hot" YEAH RIGHT.

William Friedkin and Sherry Lansing, power heterosexual couple

I'm still waiting for our illustrious "Hollywood Parties, All Women are Bi" troll to come out an announce his tales of nightclubbing.

Right.

I have a better chance of watching my yellow toenails curl up and drop off in real time.

Next thing he'll claim that he was there but could only be viewed using Kurlian Photography.

Would have liked to hear more about Lansing. Instead this thread is in the middle of being trampled by frauzilla. This thing, as we see @ R230, thinks that celebs have lives as boring as it does. Note it's appalled at the idea of r192 returning with accounts of bisexual women and gay men in the business. Now watch it post another dull witted taunting reply or 10 (15? 30?) for the day.

Ummm, Helloooooo

R220 has her number.

Okay, The Bi Fat Frau knows about La,sing's obsession with saving toilet paper, and being so frugal at Fox that it would make even a Rabbi blush.

The Bi Fat Frau knows much more than you do, but will not condescend to Ms. Cate Bloanchette's poorly contrived tales of 'bisexuality.'

The Bi Fat Frau has also known true lesbian women who refused to sleep with pervy producers for movie roles and paid for it dearly.

Bi Fat Frau has seen women who truly love other women struggle in their professions due to discrimination.

Bi Fat Frau does not regard fake 'bi' scene-screamers as anything but disingenuous straight women.

^Lansing^

R125 here

I'm straight, people

give it a rest

I've seen a rough cut of it; she is fantastic. Rooney Mara is better than I expected, and Kyle Chandler is still sexy to me.

To be honest, i don't understand your point of view R219, and i don't understand how come and i upset some women here (i don't think that gay men would be bothered that much, but you never know with these temperamental tom cats) by saying that Blanchett and some other celebrities are indeed bisexual, or even lesbians.

Guys, guys! Even if Blanchett did it for publicity, that doesn't mean that she lied about her previous relationships with women. I'll say it once more though, that the reporter asked her about it, she didn't take that liberty herself.

Cate Blanchett always pinged like hell, she didn't lie about that side of her. It's funny that some of you think that she lied. Maybe you didn't like the way she said it, she was too cool about it, without having the need to categorize her sexuality in public...

I understand why some people dislike her. She is too imposing and witty and some people don't 't like that kind of style. However, that is prejudice and if you calm down, you will understand what i mean.

I almost don't care about this seemingly publicity stunt because it's Cate Blanchett.

When Galadriel turned up (and literally around) in Rivendell in the Hobbit, we little lezzies were squealing in the cinema. My friend (no, really) and I both crush on her a little bit. There's something about her.

Carol clip #1

Carol clip #2

R239 is a typical woman. The post is completely self-contradictory and incoherent. She doesn't even seem to know who she's arguing with or what she's arguing about - other than some vague notion of the person she quotes being "angry", the catch-all copout for fraus that have no real, logical argument. Ironically the angriest person in the thread is the lunatic r234, who evidently lives here.

The gay men aren't upset about Cate being bi. Gay men expect women to be bi. Lesbians are the ones that are upset about the fact most women are bi, and thus have Chernobyl-esque meltdowns as we see with freak show R235 (Troll-Dar: The Thread).

It would be nice if we could have one place where we didn't have to deal with dumb women. But needy, pushy and illogical women like 239 live to interact with and browbeat men. Even gay men.

R220 is right on the money. She fake.

[quote]I'll say it once more though, that the reporter asked her about it, she didn't take that liberty herself.

Uh, yes she did. The question was about playing lesbian roles, but Blnachett turned it into a question about her own life.

R243, i don't hide like you do hide, though. If you were indeed proud of your opinion, you would let others to troll-dar you. You cover your tracks and you use your anonymity for trashing others.

I use my anonymity with discretion and i'm glad that there are people who don't misuse this privilege Datalounge give to them. There are good and sensitive people here too, they are not all as unfair as you are when they need to play their little game.

I have many flaws, but i doubt that i'm incoherent. If you cannot understand some things that are pretty clear, that is because you talk too loud and you don't think much before you write something.

I still don't understand why you got mad with me, anyway. I won't make any further assumptions, because i don't wish to be as aggressive as you are. Could you please stop trashing everything i say? Thanks. It would be nice.

*this privilege Datalounge gave to them

R246 = self-pitying, self-satisfied cunt. There's no way on Earth that a man wrote that drivel.

The Carol clips. Holy shit Blanchett is so phony. She is such a ham. She used to be good but in the last few years she has gotten more and more mannered and affected. Blue Jasmine was crap. I can't believe people buy her as a 'great actress'. In his film roles, Olivier was more naturalistic.

How Trendy!

R248, I'm tired of you. If you had a good will, i would continue this convo with you. But you obviously don't need that, right? Yes, i'm a woman, as if it matters here, behind the computer screen, anyway.

I'm also tired of defending people who didn't really say anything wrong. Yes, Blanchett probably knew that the reporter would ask her something like that. It was insolent of her that she answered the way she did? I don't think so. She didn't insult anybody. That makes her fake? She took this project because it spoke to her. All the rest is Chinese.

R249, you are phony. You are the same inconsiderate person who hides and insults from his/her comfort zone others. Blue Jasmine was a great movie. You didn't understand it, or you couldn't understand it.

What does any of that have to do with bisexuality in women or Cate's bisexuality, r246? If you weren't an overly emotional, incoherent frau you would at least be able to argue a point about the subject(s) of this thread as counterpoint. Instead all you do is whine and try to convince yourself there's nothing wrong with your contradictory ramblings, just proving my point about you. You have an overwhelming need to whine about "tone" and browbeat men. When I made that accusation in my prior post your response was to...whine about my perceived behaviour towards you, the little princess.

Most of all, you make sure to veer off-topic completely, because arguing a cogent, on-topic point isn't of much interest to you. Judging by your other replies, it's probably not possible.

Speaking of privilege, you use your anonymity to force your way on to a gay man's forum and generally complain about the nature of the site because of those gay men. This place is not built for crazed, paranoid (and projecting, in your case) hags.

You're hysterical and hypocritical. Oh, and self absorbed. Typical frau.

[quote], I'm tired of you. If you had a good will, i would continue this convo with you. But you obviously don't need that, right? Yes, i'm a woman, as if it matters here, behind the computer screen, anyway.

It matters a great deal. That's the point a number of us have made. We can tell you're a woman without seeing you because of your illogical, victimizing and pious posts. And still you can't get it. Your mind is a broken mess, and it's demonstrably feminine.

Make sure to reply incoherently again while telling everyone you're done replying. Just more evidence of how you can't keep your head screwed on or your story straight.

Ok. You are right, R252. Everything you say is right even when you are wrong. Satisfied? Fine. Have the last word. I won't keep on replying to you anymore. You won. Oh, and if that satisfies you, yes, you hurt my feelings. Screw it. Bye.

R253 - do you fucking get a cheap thrill by insulting, degrading and bullying people on the internet?

You're a disgrace to the gay community. Have a lovely day, you perfectly special cupcake.

The hilarious part about this last page is that it seems to have been precipitated by r209 quoting r206 (the frau poster r246 et cetera) when he meant to quote r205. No wonder no one seems to know what the argument is about. R246 was pissed at the gay for saying something to her he was actually directing at someone else.

Reading comprehension is dead.

one of the most entertaining threads in a long time. More entertaining than any CB films

Will Carol show bush?

R241/R242, I can't see your clips, I can only hear them. Is anyone else having this problem?

This is the most bizarre thread ever.

However, it's a relief to learn that lesbians can be just as delusional as gay men when it comes to wishful thinking about straight sexuality!

Oh yes and the supposed "gay man" arguing that all women are bi is so obviously and transparently not a gay man. Like any gay man would argue so strongly or bizarrely for female bisexuality...

This thread and the Chastain one are both kind of bizarre.

[quote]the supposed "gay man" arguing that all women are bi...Like any gay man would argue so strongly or bizarrely for female bisexuality

This shows how deep you are

Stay in your Febreze / Bounce zone

Thanks for the clips R241 and R242!

How creepy?!?

This thread had me in stitches, thanks bitches.

Is there a problem here?

r220, you are mistaken about a bit. Cate's husband was no one when she met him. He was a script supervisor and aspiring writer and we know how they get treated in the industry.

They seem happy raising a family. I don't get what the big deal is. Why aren't we okay that a celebrity admits experience with the same sex like is no big deal. As if it's normal. Isn't that the end game.

I doubt it's a lie or a publicity stunt. She was ask a question she answered it. I love the lady in anything. I would watch her read the phone book.

Why do you keep repeating yourself R267? She was asked a question about playing lesbian roles and then answered by hinting at real life same sex experiences. SHE was the one who brought it up, not the interviewer.

And for the record, it's not a lesbian who keeps arguing that all women are bi. That has to be a bisexual propagandist.

Thanks for the clips! Looking forward to it - I loved the book, love the director, and I like Cate & the Rooney girl.

As for her - we don't really know her.

In the quoted article, it says:

When asked to confirm whether she's had past relationships with women, she said: "Yes. Many times".

How did she see herself then? Lesbian? Bi? We don't know.

Some people have very rigid ideas about things on DL.

H

Didn't Cate say at one point that she wanted to kiss Julia Roberts' ass?

So who did she sleep with? Did she mention the names?

She said it and didn't make a big deal about it. Thats the way it should be. I'm sure it's true, no reason NOT to say it. She looka like a man.

I liked Cate in Elizabeth.

Where is the thread with the Dyle Adele troll? And who is the French newcomer? TIA.

LOL @ "Fabreze zone". You just know this queen is secretly jelly and wants to be a housewife of OC.

But 'cha ARE, Blanche-ett. Y'ARE.

Well, she did play the Jude (Bob Dylan) male part in I'm not there (fantastic IMO), Kate Hepburn, she was in gay gay gay Talented Mr Ripley, uber camp Notes on a Scandal... What more do you want? The girl is attracted to the material.

That might be the most crucial question, R258. I'd say, no. Based on Todd Haynes previous work.

I also liked her in I'm not there.

Carol clips look like that other film Todd Haynes made, the one with Julianne Moore as a hausfrau with a gay husband - all gloss and no substance.

I guess five, ten years ago this would have been Moore's part, but Blanchett seems to be the one every director wants to work with these days.

Also reminded me of Mildred Pierce.

'Straight' Cate with her hubby.

Short hair does not a lesbian make. Maybe bisexual.

Female bisexuality as edgy is so 2008.

Cate dancing for lesbian photographer Cass Bird

Agree with R284.

I have long hair and my girlfriend has short hair but we're both very feminine.

Britney Griner has long hair but she looks like a man.

R287, you are irrelevant.

Short hair is not very feminine, what are you talking about? Why some females here try to pass as feminine that much? It sounds so desperate. If you are feminine, or masculine, you don't have to say it. All these remarks seem very homophobic to me.

R288, feminine women are still feminine with short hair. Cases in point: Emma Watson, Mia Farrow, Lupita Nyong'o, Robin Wright, Juliette Binoche, Isabella Rossellini, Anne Hathaway (circa "Les Misérables"), Rihanna, Audrey Tautou, etc.

You cannot deny that Cate always pinged.

Audrey Hepburn, the most feminine woman ever!

R288 you're an idiot. My girlfriend looks like Rachel Ward in the movie Against All Odds. She's feminine.

Short hair looks masculine on masculine looking women with fugly faces. Also, the hairstyle is important. You can have short hair but style it in a way that is feminine. A lot of lesbians didn't get that memo.

Cate's husband is fugly as hell.

r289 Robin, Juliette and Isabella have a very androgynous energy. I wouldn't put them in the same group with the others you mentioned. Cate, too.

In the '70s, men were considered more prone to bisexuality than women.. I think these things go in waves..

All boys messed around with other boys and parents just kinda looked the other way ("boys will be boys").

I don't see any reason not to believe CB. If she says she has had many gay relationships then no doubt that's true. And good on her for saying it. Though she is a very established actress no doubt it Would still be possible for her to be discriminated against. Casting agents and producers DO still discriminate.

Wonderful actress in BJ and many other things. Not very entertaining on Graham Norton and the like. Too awkward, but I like her as an actress, not a wise cracking star.

Just saw the trailer and Blanchett is flawless. Probable Oscar nomination.

I alway said Cate Blanchett would easily win a third Oscar.

The reviews are coming out. Apparently Rooney Mara (believe it or not) is getting better notices than Blanchett and has a bigger role.

I like Rooney, she has that icy Huppert brittleness and doesn't beg to be liked in her roles.

R298 where did you see the trailer when they haven't released it yet?

I like Rooney, too, for the same reasons, R301.

That and she has a cute smile.

R301 doesn't beg to be liked in her roles? Usually she makes hating her character very easy.

R302: I misspoke. Meant footage, not the trailer. There are a few minutes online and Blanchett is fab. Really looking forward to seeing the movie.

I'm bi! I'm bi! I'm shouting it from the rooftops! Give me my attention now! Aren't I edgy?!

R296 what delusional fantasy land do you live in?

Fact is women and the female form are a million times more sexualized than men, that probably explains a lot of female bisexuality

Male objectification is still taboo in society, especially by gay men

Whereas women being bi has become the new normal

There's only about 10 women at my job and at least half of them has admitted to being bi

By comparison there's about 30 men and IM THE ONLY GAY OR BI MALE

It is what it is

Come on. Women become bi when they can't find a guy. They aren't really lesbians, they 're just desperate for attention from anybody.

[quote]There's only about 10 women at my job and at least half of them has admitted to being bi

r307 works in the lumber department at Home Depot.

R307 is the only gay in the village.

R306 you sound like a bitch. Blanchett had already the attention she wanted, you are such a mean fuck. Do you always have to think the worst for everybody who doesn't behave like you do?

I saw a tweet that said Carol was "awesome"

In Cate's press conference in Cannes for Carol, she clarified she's had many relationship with women, NOT sexual relationships.

R313, that's not exactly clarification, my pet...

R314 Don't be obtuse, it is. Watch the replay of the Cannes press conference.

R315, give us a link, otherwise, it never happened the way you say that it did.

It makes sense in terms of part size R300, Rooney plays the main character in the book.

It happened exactly the way R313 said it did. The festival was streaming the conference live and that is exactly what Blanchett said.

For the dimwitted R316 @29:06

What did she exactly tell? Did she say that she didn't have any sexual relationship with women? You are the stubbornly stupid one, brother, seriously. She just said that she had many relationships with women. You chose to conclude what she really meant and you alone decided to be sure about that.

Wow, you are stupid R320. Watch the clip.

R319, thanks for the link, not for the attitude though. Kisses...

Cate was pressed to made such a statement. I think she is really bisexual (to be honest, i think she is a lesbianin the closet). However, i believe her when she says that she never had a sexual relationship with another woman. She is scared of that, she always need to be in control of a situation, and she doesn't want to risk her reputation, but feelings are feelings and attraction is attraction...

*to make

R322 Kisses 💋

She has children and a husband. She could not say something else. The first time, when she was asked, when she was vague about it, she was obviously more close to her heart. The second time, all the press that her statement received forced her to be less dreamy about her lesbianism. She had and she has to be in denial. She has a family and she doesn't plan to get a divorce.

Cate Blanchett is so dykish, it hurts my eyes. You cannot understand her, because you are not like her. The truth is that she is a closet case and some people can understand her perfectly well.

How about Cate is a dull so who cares.

I meant dull before I'm attacked by the grammar queens.

Yeah, grammar queens can be pretty vicious. They need to stand out, R327. By the way, i enjoyed your unexpected kisses. Ta ta ~~~~~~~

She did repeat over and over that sexuality has to remain private. I respect that. She's not an idiot. It's her right to be in whatever closet if she chooses to be. She is a fine actress and star and there is nothing more I can expect of her.

Her lesbianism was short-lived. As predicted.

I hear she was a guest lesbian in Cannes

She is probably one of the gayest straight woman in show business.

Hope she didn't catch her tit in the door during her rapid exit and return to the closet.

Read R193's "luvvie" post--it could be the most sensible post on this thread.

Absolutely, R334. Those who know the type recognise her instantly. I like her. It's like she speaks my language, or I speak hers. Maybe I'm a luvvie too.

Her quote was taken out of context but she's still an idiot for treating bisexuality like a big fucking joke while promoting a lesbian movie.

R336, she tried to sound cool, that's why it seemed like a fucking joke to you. In reality, she was very embarrassed and annoyed, and that's why she tried to sound humorous and free from what really bothers her.

Cate is such a liar! Why is she suddenly ashamed about having been with women before?

Here is the quote from the NY Daily News:

Cate Blanchett has denied having "many" relationships with women, claiming her words in a recent interview were taken out of context.

"From memory, the conversation ran: 'Have you had relationships with women?'

And I said: 'Yes, many times. Do you mean have I had sexual relationships with women? Then the answer is no,'" she said at the Cannes premiere of her film "Carol," about a lesbian affair, referring to a Variety magazine interview, which was published May 12, according to Time.

Huh, R337? Are you doubting the fact that the interviewer misquoted her?

The person she gave the quote to is a Variety reporter. An industry reporter will be scrupulous when it comes to such a potentially controversial topic. So she is lying now.

[quote]How about Cate is dull so who cares.

Not only that, but a bitch. She's not even all that as an actress, so why people think she's so great I have no idea.

She may have been misquoted. I know a former actress who told me that she was very often misquoted by journalists back in the day and that only 50% of what was written about her was true.

Yes, R339, the interviewer misquoted her, but what pissed off our royal Cate is that with this misquotation a part of the truth was exposed. She is really in the closet, after all. It's obvious, for people who have some experience. They really can see through her and understand why she behaves the way that she does. Not all actresses are really bisexual or lesbians, but Cate is.

If you see all the comments she made very carefully, you will understand that she hates to be labelled and as an actress and as a woman she is very scared of that. However, she tremendously pings and body language rarely lies.

That person is already known for dubious reporting R340. He is the same person who wrote an essay on how gay people can't play straight roles, and he reported that Rosie P. was getting fired from the view. He is a hack.

Plus, Cate's answer of "many" makes so much more sense if it was a joke. No one is going to admit to being promiscuous in the same breath as coming out as bi.

You're delusional, R343. Come back when you have something better than "body language", like, an actual rumour.

R343 must be taking a break from LChat.

It does sound like a joke. I think she found the question rude. There might be some truth to it. She certainly doesn't like labels, and I'm with her on that. They're a fucking nuisance and keep you from opening up to experiences and living a fulfilling life. And most artists dislike labels, which is very understandable.

Hey bitches, believe it, or not i have never been in LChat. Actually i have never visited this site. Maybe i should, now that you mentioned it, but i don't feel like it, because Datalounge is for both men and women and that is more universal. I feel comfortable here.

Why do you feel uncomfortable with body language? Only a person who hates their own body language would disagree with my remark about it. We are what we are and body express what we are, as well.

*expresses

Yeah, ok, grammar trolls...sst.

Variety has now confirmed that they quoted her correctly.

Is she dumb or what? They've obviously got it on tape.

"They have it on tape" - what is this, Watergate? Obviously, she made the comment to be gay/lesbian-friendly in general, and given the film that she is promoting. She doesn't really talk about her private life that much, so people should not expect details. Of course people in acting are a bit more sexually adventurous than the general population and she has always pingeth like crazy.

The guy who interviewed her is also covering the premiere of Carol. I wonder if he'll try to provoke her.

The interviewer (Variety) has come out on Twitter and said that Blanchett is lying about him misquoting her. https://brappp.wordpress.com/2015/05/17/cate-blanchett-and-the-curious-case-of-bisexuality/

Oooh. She had so many problems with her big mouth during her last Oscar campaign and now she has started up again.

This woman must be dumb as a box of rocks. She needs to hire whoever is doing Pat Kingsley's job now. Otherwise, she'll be jumping on whoever is doing Oprah's job now's sofa.

Fuck with Variety and she'll regret it.

Seems like the Brits just aren't used to the kind of bullshit that goes on here, American stars have PR that knows how to prep them for this kind of thing.

Meanwhile Rooney is sitting back relaxing having a cocktail picking cunt hair out of her teeth.

She's Australian, not British.

Cate Blanchett: I made my lesbianism up to get myself some publicity.

"“From memory, the conversation ran: ‘Have you had relationships with women?’ And I said: ‘Yes, many times. Do you mean have I had sexual relationships with women? Then the answer is no.’ But that obviously didn’t make it.”

‘Have you had relationships with women?’ And I said: ‘Yes, many times. Do you mean have I had sexual relationships with women? Then the answer is no.’

What does that even mean? Of course she's had (platonic) relationships with women. Because she lives in the world. The reporter asked her a direct question and she had to give an opaque answer. Just say, "no, I haven't" and get on with it.

We are SO fucked up as a culture because we worship actors. The majority are somewhat good looking or charismatic in person but have the nastiest personalities. A good smack in the face would do them so much good. And me.

According to Cate's understanding of what constitutes a relationship, every person on the planet is bi. She thought she was being clever, when she was just being a douche. Pity; I really thought she was one of the decent ones but she's like all the other cunts out there in La-La land.

Who in their right mind would think "relationship" means friendship. She's full of shit on that one. She said it and now wants to backpedal. She should have come up with something more believable. This is laughable.

Ha, ha, she did exactly what I said she would, try to take it back.

I'm pretty sure she was annoyed with the question and gave a careless answer. Basically, I agree with R347.

The author of the interview responds:

When I asked Cate Blanchett if she'd had lesbian relationships in real life, she said: "Many times." She was accurately quoted.

R359, But that's the problem with labels. They're schematic and definite. She could compartmentalize having deep emotional bonds with women, but prefers physical relationship with men. Maybe no one gender nor one person fulfills everything. She may have ended up with someone who fulfills a higher percentage of her needs, and her fulfilling his.

So whether the label suffices, she's gone with women as far as up to the sex. That's coy (or bad news) to the Label Brigade, but is candid and PR-friendly when few readers will ever verify by dyking it up with her.

I think she said it to be gay-positive and to maybe hint in a flirty way about something in her past. She probably thought it would be just in one little interview and did not realize it would be the big news story of the day when there are things going on in the world like ISIS and Boko Haram and NASA saying the Antarctic ice shelf just years from disintegration.

[quote]When I asked Cate Blanchett if she'd had lesbian relationships in real life, she said: "Many times." She was accurately quoted.

Except that's not actually what he printed.

[quote]When asked to confirm whether she's had past relationships with women, she said: "Yes. Many times".

If he is serious that she specifically confirmed "lesbian relationships" and not just "relationships with women" (as a joke) then he should share the recording. But given his trackrecord I think he's lying.

R364 I totally agree with you and the compartmentalization of people in this age is very false and irritating. But Cate should have said what YOU just said. It's the perfect answer. But you're more articulate and interesting that she is - which is her problem!

R341 About Rooney. isn't she super friends with Megan Ellison?

Get real, R364. She isn't "compartmentalizing" anything. She just a straight idiot who really should have kept her mouth shut period.

Why would she lie about this? This isn't going to get people to the theaters. It's not like she needs attention. By the way, Carol is getting raves at Cannes.

Always the Negative Nellies. Maybe there was a miscommunication between an actress and a writer wanting a great headline.

Yes, I have just been clicking through all the raves. I am really looking forward to it!

Don't worry about the comments - imagine Cate however you'd like her to be. Film people are just fantasy anyways!

Then record the interview with your phone, Cate, and post the MP3 somewhere. GROW UP

Ah yes, R372. Cate is reading here. LOL!

I think women are retarded. Every time they come out, they never make any fucking sense. It's like the Davinci Code, full of symbols and clues about their sexuality that you have to decipher to get to the truth.

Jodie Foster didn't make any sense during her Golden Globe speech. If you're gay, just fucking say I'M GAY!! No. It has to be super ambiguous so that we're left wondering, did she really come out? Yes? No?

Then you have another retard Zoe Saldana who said "I might end up with a woman raising my children. That's how androgynous I am."

WAT????

What does androgyny have to do with raising children with another woman you dumbbell??

There are many others...

Megan Mullally told Advocate in 1999 that she is bisexual but 7 years later, when Will & Grace was over, she backpedaled and said that she never said she was bisexual. Yes she did. The exact quote from The Advocate was "I consider myself bisexual and my philosophy is everyone innately is."

And now Cate Blanchett who seems like an intelligent woman, can't tell the difference between a friendship and a romantic relationship. Just be fucking clear!

That's why nobody believes women when they say anything.

Bottomline is gay and bi are defined against being heterosexual, straight dick-gets-all culture. Some days you want nothing to do with it. You fighter. Some days there are things going on in your life giving you pause, the anxiety. In the face of that uncertainty, you creep back into the comfort of a structured hierarchy and labeling again. The mental order allows you to re-focus again (or it's a mind trick.)

You can call them liars, because you seldom lie and live in absolute certainty and security of having all your duckies in a row, in many areas of your life. Or you arch a brow, wrinkle your nose, and move on after reading (the fish'n'chip wrapper) because you don't know WTH has happened, is happening, and will happen in some people's lives away from the short time they're on camera.

R375: Key is in "mental order"-ing. We can go one step further, and say a person's own relationship to labels doesn't line up neatly, with what they are "capable" of doing. Even in a greenhouse, everything under control can be subject to aberration of chance, malfunction, unforeseen sequence of events. And all the people observing can come to slightly different conclusions, based on how they like to phrase and present their "findings" on the "life cycle of The Thing" - especially depending on WHEN they came into the greehouse lab to observe (nobody's ever camped out there 24/7!)

Now imagine people who don't live in greenhouses, but are in a million battles with everything, in bubbles inside other bubbles, bubbles bumping up against other bubbles (Cate vs. Setoodeh)...

I like what you're saying and I want what you're having, R376

aha...this whole thread and story is hilarious

Cate, Cate, Cate!

Actually we should give thanks. We have almost a whole year till the next Oscars to look forward to Cate the Cunt gaffes!

"obviously didn't make it to print" is the correct quote, R358 and the others.

Love R365's post. It was Variety, though. Not that any other publication wouldn't have jumped on it as well.

r356 that is disgusting and hilarious.

That said, Rooney looked nervous throughout the day yesterday, and this has provided happy distraction for her I'm sure. Blanchett is handling it very well, in the end what matters are: the viewers. People will go see this movie. The awards: it will get some. I foresee a bunch of Oscar nominations, and a win for Todd if he campaigns.

Cate Blamchett denies rumors about her Sexuality.

Including gifs of the press conference where she retracted it.

So she's never had a sexual relationship with a woman afterall.

I guess that's a bit of a letdown.

She looks chic as hell at that press conference. I'm interested in seeing the film.

Did you see the dress she wore later that evening? Wow.

The film's getting raves, especially Cate's performance. I smell Oscar number 3, M.

Cate looks wonderful in Elizabeth I's wardrobe in the Elizabeth films, as well.

It says a lot about the power of the closet when people prefer to appear retarded than gay. Cate Blanchett meant "friendship" when she said she had many relationships with women? Suuuuuure.

Like she said, we live in "deeply conservative times". That's not her own doing. She's known worldwide, in all kinds of permissive and less permissive societies. This situation is a lot more... complex, than, uh, you know?

[quote]Like she said, we live in "deeply conservative times".

We do?

Yes, we do. When people get killed in their workplace for drawing, admittedly, insulting pictures towards a religion, yes, I call that deeply conservative times.

But aren't today's times less conservative when it comes to the matter under discussion - sexuality & sexual orientation?

There was a time when no one would have ever broached this subject in an interview or film festival at all.

Yes we live in deeply conservative times when trans is being pushed on kids simply because they pick up the "wrong" toy to play with.

Cate is conservative herself, that's why she was that apologetic. Only in some of her roles she can take the liberty to be really daring. She is probably a lesbian, but she doesn't wish to be really in a lesbian affair.

[quote]She is probably a lesbian, but she doesn't wish to be really in a lesbian affair.

If she's 'probably a lesbian', why is she married to a man?

I remember kd lang and jodie foster (separately) gushing over blanchett in interviews ("beauty incarnate, ideal female, blah blah blah). For the life of me I couldn't understand why. Now I get it, the both of them probably fucked her.

Or perhaps picked up on the fact that she likes women, R398?

Cate Blanchett always comes off as an extremely cold and calculating person.

Oh God do you really have to ask this? How naive of you, R397.

Many women out there are lesbians, always in the closet, and they don't dare to be entangled in a lesbian affair, because they care too much about their reputation.

Cate is liberal, when it comes to others, but she needs to be left alone in her safety zone when it comes to herself. A marriage is a way to seem normal, especially when you feel that you may stand out in a way, that you don't wish to stand out.

She chose to play in Carol, because as i told you before she is liberal about other people's homosexuality and she likes to show it. She is also as narcissistic as many lesbians in the closet are. She wants to be praised, but she doesn't want to be labelled.

Then she was ideally suited to play the role of Queen Elizabeth I, R400.

I was reading a magazine at the dentists office this morning and she was saying how she tried to buy her son a kindles, but he said he preferred the smell of books and that's how she knew she'd done a great job.

R396 giving us feminine sexuality in a (cracked) nutshell. Women's sexuality blows whichever way the wind blows.

[quote]Cate is conservative herself

I don't think she's conservative politically.

Hey, i didn't say that she was conservative in that way, R405. You maybe didn't read well my post.

I think there are many shades within a person's conservatism or liberalism. You can be conservative re: sexual issues and liberal re: distribution of wealth or the environment... You can be racist. There are tons of ways to be one or the other in different areas of life.

All these posters who know it all better than everyone else wouldn't stand a day having to justify their sexuality in front of a group of strangers (what, 100 reporters?) while being broadcast live to the world (the press conference was streaming live on youtube), having to look great (the dress, and then the other dress, and the other dress), in a situation that is less than natural (she does describe it as a nightmare).

In any case, the film is off to a great start.

R408 is the Cate PR Troll. Dumb frau.

DL seems to have become the overflow channel for L-Chat.

All the desperate twisting of logic and words to "prove" Blanchett is really lesbian and not a goddamned attention whore is hilarious. And draining. Who has that kind of energy to spend on something so stupid?

R409, thank you for the compliment. But do you really believe it's better to have a rigidly defined sexuality? Don't people change over the course of their lives? Isn't life a little more complicated than that?

And do we really want to live in a world where public information DEMANDS that we know about each other's PRIVATE lives?? There is a difference between private and public. Art is a way to express what is not always obvious and simple. But the two should not be confused. An artist may be very daring in his artistic output, and live like a recluse. Or be a butterfly and produce derivative tripe. As an audience, I'd say the art matters more.

As a PR shill, go see the movie.

R409, i bet that you are also R410 and the same hateful guy that insults people just because he feels angry, or empty inside. What's your problem? When are you going to be decent for a change? It's never too late, even for someone so vulgar and small as you appear to be.

What R407 wrote is very right. Stop being an embarrassment for gay community, R409-R410 etc... (you keep on hiding and attacking others who are honest enough not to change their cookies and who don't give a fuck if they are going to be troll-dared by dry and bitter asses like yours.)

R411 = the definition of loopy frau. Also a good example of how women can't even understand their own sexuality. The bisexuality of women is just an expression of their insanity. Most are crazy and most are bi.

R412 is sooo honest that she comes to a gay men's board to squeal like a stuck pig about her treatment, and make up paranoid stories about posters she disagrees with.

So 412, when are we going to get your name, address and phone number? You don't "hide" after all.

R414, you are really weird.

R414, tom cat, you overdid it again. Why do you make me scold you? Do you think i like talking to you like that? You have been bad. Can't you understand that, after all?

Why do you hate women so much, silly paws? You are very quick-tempered and you are always there to blame the female audience of Datalounge for everything. I want to see how you see things, but i don't want to see you be that insulting all the time. You can disagree with others, but do it in a less aggressive way. What happened to you and you are so bellicose? Maybe you feel like a wild animal in a cage and you behave like that.

Do you really need my name, address, and phone number? I never asked yours and i don't need that. I don't think that you are really that friendly to earn that, anyway...

I'm not the one desperately shilling for a dumb cunt actress, r415.

R414/417 should go to one of those anger management classes.

Great, I love it when ridiculous little girls like R412 show up to tell gay men how to behave, and then launch into paranoid rants that are designed to make themselves feel important.

And notice how they always say over and over and over again that THEY'RE normal, it's everyone else who has issues? Good times.

obsessive stalker dyke @ r416. Troll dar reveals this strange frau's obsession with this thread. Her posts read like she really needs an animal or child to raise but has decided to sublimate that by telling gay men how to behave on their own forum.

Boy, didn't she look uncomfortable denying it!

R416 is such a dumbass she didn't even know who she was arguing with on page 13. A quarter of the posts on this thread belong to R416. Get a vibrator.

Wow, R420. You must be a really bad person. Because you keep on talking like an asshole after all the replies that has been sent to you, which as matter of fact, were too much for someone like you.

Keep on hiding and twisting everything that people with good intentions send on Datalounge. You are the clown here and sorry to say that but you seem very unlovable.

Iggy time. You are the first person i ignore in a forum. That says a lot, because i don't believe that people should ignore each other. You are not human though. You are too wicked to be anything with a soul. Bye. The second BYE is definite. I won't waste my time by reading your garbage. Nobody deserves your shit.

So her retraction makes her sound like an advocate of the closet though not necessarily because she is gay herself but it sounds if a gay star came to her for advice she would encourage the closet.

Didn't you say you were going to stop with the inane, mile long replies days ago, R423? As predicted, you're *still* replying. Such a victim.

That's how dumb women operate, r419. They almost always get cornered in whatever debate they deecide to get involved in. Once they have thoroughly contradicted themselves repeatedly and discredited their own initial assertions, they go to old reliable: passive-aggressive assertions about their oponent's nature. It varies from "bully" to "pussy" (they love this type of shaming when dealing with a straight man that's smarter than them) or some sort of "weirdness" for exposing their inanity.

Never fails. Women are like a moth to flame as far as dull attempts at cattiness to cover up their intellectual emptiness. Spit, rinse, repeat.

What the hell are you talking about r420? That was the first (or second) post I've made in this thread. Get some meds. I think you must be a parody account. No one would spew as much venom as you do (really? Telling someone they have no soul?) while complaining about mistreatment. No one could be that hypocritical and unaware.

Sorry. That should read- What the hell are you talking about r423? That was the first (or second) post I've made in this thread. Get some meds. I think you must be a parody account. No one would spew as much venom as you do (really? Telling someone they have no soul?) while complaining about mistreatment. No one could be that hypocritical and unaware

Blanchett is a real twit. If someone asks you "have you ever had a relationship with a woman" they don't mean "have you ever had female friends" and everyone knows that. She's especially being a twit considering she was asked that question in the context of promoting a film with a lesbian storyline.

Her face in the third photo down looks absolutely bizarre.

Administration sucks. I think that this sassy, hateful queen must be banned.

The sad part is that i think he is a member of the Datalounge administration. That's why he is still here, after all this mess he created.

He is a woman hater, because he is not enough of a man, and he is not even enough of a woman. He keeps on appearing as a different person, but his style is so distinctive, he is the same vindictive, and shallow little queen. He must be very unwanted and miserable.

R430, please don't start him again. He is a lunatic. I hope R423 understood that and didn't get hurt much. He seems like a very sensitive woman. I like her a lot, because she seems clever too.

Cate is dykish and it doesn't matter what one says for the sake of the press. Cate, we know, no worries.

Your posts read a lot like R423's. Maybe that's why you're so paranoid about others - because you're doing what you accuse them of r430. Your posts drip with venom like r423's. Most of the mess was created by R416's pitying rants about itself and nasty comments about gay men. You're doing the same thing.

But what will the Chinese think of this?

They own all of the movies theaters now.

Most films are produced with Chinese distribution in mind.

I predict the title of this movie in China will be: "Carol, Ching-Chong Without the Ding-Dong"

That settles it. R431 is undoubtedly r423. No one would call that dumbass 'clever' except for the dumbass herself. What a life this woman must lead, needing to brag about herself on an anonymous message forum.

r430 : perfectly stated.

Nothing more delicous than a woman-hating miso bitch queen spitting his vitriol against women post after post after post, while calling WOMEN crazy.

The irony is completely lost on him.

Is this a personal vendetta on a poster? I never imagined Cate might be gay, although I find her hot. I'm mostly impressed with the way she handles this crap while promoting a movie set in the early 1950s when there was even more of a bedroom police. I'm sure she loves the irony.

Why are there resentful man-hating shrews all over a gay man's forum?

Thanks R431 for your kind words. I didn't get hurt much this time, because i felt that i really tried to understand this guy and i really tried to make him understand how i feel.

He accused me of being venomous and other vulgar things that he is himself. He called me incoherent, well, look what he is writing and if you think that anything of what he writes is coherent, then i rest my case.

Yes, i still feel upset, i won't deny it, because i don't pretend to be different people here on Datalounge and i don't like saying that i'm cool with a situation when i'm not really displeased with it.

R430, i don't think that this guy is an administrator. I don't think that he is in a position to work and cooperate with others.

I'll keep on posting here on Datalounge and i'll keep being who i am, because if he thinks that with his attitude he can make me stop being nice with other people he is sadly mistaken.

[quote]tom cat, you overdid it again. Why do you make me scold you? Do you think i like talking to you like that? You have been bad. Can't you understand that, after all?

My god...so fucking stupid.

[quote]I'll keep on posting here on Datalounge and i'll keep being who i am, because if he thinks that with his attitude he can make me stop being nice with other people he is sadly mistaken.

Troll extraordinaire

*when i'm displeased with it

Poor queen, he cannot shut up. Take your medicine. You are a headache. Not even your own tribe likes you. Hahaha

Welcome back, Cate Blanchett's PR person! You'll have a full-time job this year. You certainly worked your butt off during her last Oscar campaign and I hope she was appreciative.

However, I don't think THAT many Academy voters actually frequent the DL.

Ladies, it's so obvious. Cate is a lesbian. Thought it was a good idea to admit it to Variety (no less) in the hopes that would make Carol more newsworthy.

Then, somebody mentioned to Cate (possibly our resident PR person) that she might get a short-term gain, but long-term she was shooting herself in the foot: no romantic leads (if she is even offered them, she's pushing 50), issues with her films in many countries that are overtly homophobic.

Damn that Variety, they wouldn't play ball! In the old days, Pat Kingsley would have reined them in. Stardom ain't what it used to be.

R307 pray tell where do you work? Asking for a friend...

I would have thought she'd be smarter than to play this yes-I-am-no-I'm-not game for publicity.

Look at the homophobic comments under this article. Appears they can't read, too - they get so many things mixed up.

Cate "The Great" Blanchett shall win the Lesbian Drama Award for 2015.

Cate, being the obvious attractive, tall, statuesque lesbian who enjoys exciting times with multitudes of women has been revealed to the world as a first-class scissor-queen.

Classically-trained Cate cannot act her way out of her obvious discomfort and darting, frightened eyes. She has been reprimanded for her outburst, and now must backpedal into twisting her own words and deflating her own charm.

I feel sorry for Cate. I feel sorry for any woman who must play this game. I feel sorry for having to endure the prying eyes of well-poisoners who have come to kill your fun.

Be well, Cate. We care about you.

xoxoxo

R353, who is behind that brappp blog? It's funny, this is the second time this week I've seen a link to it (the other time was to a chuka blind).

Man, threads about Cate Blanchette get so nasty.

Her fans are crazier than M & G's combined. I guess maybe they're all the same people.

She's been with her husband since she was 23 & there's been no rumors of her fucking other people. I call bullshit on this.

r449 why? monogamy is so inherent to Hollywood.

She will eclipse Meryl Streep. Blanchett's filmography is much more interesting than Streep's.

Nah, r451, I love Cate more but nothing will ever top Sophie's Choice. You know Meryl wins this one because of it.

I simply CANNOT wait for the press junket for Carol. Every single journalist is going to ask her about lying about the Variety comment. And she is going to go bonkers - on camera - over and over.

R453, it doesn't open until December, 2015. Do you really think that is going to be on the minds of a journalist by then?

I bet her husband lets her fuck who she wants. He looks like he enjoys being cuckholded

cate and rooney:

Downey Jr seems more like bi to me. He is not a repug anymore though.

[quote]She will eclipse Meryl Streep. Blanchett's filmography is much more interesting than Streep's.

No one will ever come close to the number of Streep's Oscar nominations, but Blanchett will win more Oscars than Streep. What's even better, she beats Streep at her own game, that of mannered acting. Besides, Blanchett is easier on the eyes then Streep was when she was the same age. And... she's already ahead of Streep when it comes to theatre.

Love it.

Blanchett is a better actress and her projects are far more interesting.

Although, I still prefer Julianne Moore. But I also love the way Blanchett plays the game.

Why are you still talking about this? The story's over.

Ditto R460

Let's face it, Meryl's choices are mostly boring, major studio garbage. And, even when she's good, the film itself is otherwise crap (Sophie's Choice is tedious, melodramatic nonsense). Cate has done far more interesting films, more challenging roles and doesn't have a problem working opposite strong, acclaimed actresses. When was the last time M worked with the likes of Judi Dench?

r458 no one cares about the theatre, but I agree, she IS better than Meryl even though she'll never be given the credit for it.

Carol's great film

But Notes on a Scandal was crap

I like Kate Winslett best. She is just as talented and not such a cunt.

Blanchette is talented, yes, but her personality rubs me the wrong way. She gives off this Mariah Carey vibe the way she talks to people like she's better than everyone else. I bet she's a nightmare to work with.

And no, it's not because she's a woman, I'd take Hugh Jackman's personality over Russell Crowe's, too.

"Notes on a scandal" was not crap. It was a well crafted film with some great acting. Every other line is quotable - how many films you can say that about?

The book was so much better, R467

She is charming in Oscar and Lucinda which was a cute movie except for that strange sex scene.

She was funny in Bandits.

Liked her in The Aviator and The Talented Mr Ripley

Her love scenes dont have chemistry

r464 & r468 when did you get to see the film? At Cannes?

Notes of a Scandal was an OK film with a shitty performance from Blanchett and a very good performance from Dame Judi.

Notes on a Scandal was a lot of fun.

She was great as Meredith Logue, a character that was not in the book.

The Elizabeth films of course, although I prefer the first one.

She was very good playing an unlikeable character in Babel, too, although I'm not sure I like the movie as a whole.

I'm not there might be the role that impressed me the most.

And, of course, theatre.

Cate got snubbed by Cannes.

All the dykes in here... "Cate is a lesbian, I always knew it, she's in the closet."

r474 how is that any different from gay men claiming hot guys or straight people claiming whomever they find hot?

Hmmmm...all I know is.. I'd munch Cate's carpet in a MILLISECOND-among doing a bazillion other things. Haha. God Damn it that woman is so %&*%ing HOT!! And yes, I'm a woman..a Bi woman. ;D

I didn't see the film yet, R470. I definitely want to. I like Todd Haynes-Blanchett-Rooney-and the book The Price of Salt.

The book I referred to at R468 was Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller.

Sorry to bump such an old thread.

But yeah. Ignatius is a hideous name.

I always thought Cate's cheekbones were exquisite.

But she lost me when she said "Hashtagsuckit" at the Oscars.

her husband looks like he crawled out of a dumpster

I like Cate but I also find her put on and fake in most publicity tours.

"Hashtagsuckit" is a very ugly expression.

R481, could not agree more.

And Cate must have thought she was being so clever.
