Bill Hemmer, 45, bachelor

Gay?

http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2010/06/eligible_bachelor_anchorman_bi.php

duh.
Not good-looking or rich enough to be a straight playboy man about town, that''s for sure.
I bet he''ll be one of those guys who gets married in his late 40''s and starts having kids. You know, like other homo celebrities.
He may have been too busy to find a wife with all the travel and everything. Or he''s just gay...
Back about ten years ago, his name was mentioned nearly every day on this board. It was generally agreed he was gay. The fact that he''s almost never discussed on the DL these days shows how far his star has fallen.
"He''s one of NYC''s most eligible bachelors."

Does he own a Hummer?
I grew up near him. I always thought he looked like a cross between and Osmond and a cow.
I love how the link has:%0D\ %0D\ %0D\ eligible_bachelor_anchorman_bi.%0D\ %0D\ %0D\ Subliminal message?
always thought he was very cute but he doesn''t look good at all to me in that picture.
Interesting observation, R9.
Hello Mary!

There used to be some Yahoo fan group that would endlessly debate his sexuality and whether or not he had a toupee.\ \ That was back in the days when you''d get an e-mail every time someone would post. I had to leave the group because my mailbox would fill up so fast.
Looks like he forgot the pearls, since he''s ready to clutch them!
Anyone ever bump into him in a social situation?
I used to LOVE Bill Hemmer! I tuned into him one day shortly after 9/11, and fell in love. I thought he was gorgeous! \ \ And then he went to Fox News. But I don''t hate him at all. I felt sorry for the way CNN treated him and I wish him well.\ \ I do think he''s gay. He lights up around men (especially Jack Cafferty), and I''ve never seen him light up that way around any female. NEVER.\ \ I get the feeling he goes for older men.
I have no evidence to back this up, but Jack Cafferty has always looked to me like a mean, double-fisted drunk.

Does he have a boyfriend?
Cafferty was horrible in his daily commentary about Hillary Clinton during the primaries in 2008, R17. The things he said were sexist and misogynistic.
Speaking of Jack Cafferty, does anyone know what caused his wife''s death? It was kept very quiet at the time and I always wondered if she had perhaps killed herself.
Bill is the best little boy in the world.%0D\ %0D\ (And you know what that means.)
I think Jack was married once before too, R20. I wouldn''t be surprised if he has trouble getting along with women considering the way he views Hillary as the devil incarnate.
I was attracted to Hemmer some years ago, but he looks like deranged Baptist minister (is there any other kind?) in this links first photo. Granted that''s a tough angle for anyone to look handsome, so it may just be the eyes and toupee.
Bill''s confirmed bachelor like I .

Here''s a piece Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post did on Hemmer earlier this summer:\ \ "Bill Hemmer, a middle-of-the-road guy from the middle of the country, sees himself as the straightest of straight arrows when it comes to news."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/11/AR2010071103213.html
R19 and R22, it is possible for a man to love women, respect them, treat them well--and still dislike and distrust Hillary Clinton, and express that distaste freely.
Buried in that article are two interesting tidbits - one about a weekend home in Sag Harbor and that his life''s next goal has "to include children".\ \ No mention of including a wife.

No mention of getting married R27?
He always seemed gay, but at the same time, he''s a high profile media personality (yes, Fox is still considered high profile) and not one one person knows anyone who''s ever hooked up with him, been cruised by him (and not just wishful thinking), etc. How can you be in that NYC fishbowl with no one ever having a story on you?
He just hasn''t found the right girl yet.
Great-Aunt Edna
asexual
He''s a right-wing Christian! Of course he''s gay!
This thread is useless without SHIRTLESS pix.
This is my favorite part from R25''s link:\ \ "At times his Midwestern upbringing is all too evident. During the recent airing of a much-bleeped audiotape from the trial of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, Hemmer visibly blanched and looked embarrassed about the excised expletives".
I guess he doesn''t talk dirty in bed, huh?
That''s what I was going to say, R32.
If he were straight, it would be apparent that he''s straight. %0D\ %0D\ Of course, we can''t be certain, but usually when someone''s sexual orientation is a big question mark, then it''s usually because he or she is hiding something.%0D\ %0D\ This is a especially the case when that person is of a "certain age," and people are still wonderiong if he or she is attracted to members of the opposite sex.
[quote]I get the feeling he goes for older men.\ \ Yay!
He''s VERY Catholic.%0D\ %0D\ And, on a separate note, I did see him playing the role of "perfect uncle" one Sunday in Manhattan. It was Easter Sunday, but that is only coincidental to my comment about him being VERY CATHOLIC.
I met him late this summer in a casual, laid back environment, with his girlfriend, who''s a dark-haired model, whose name I''ve forgotten. Others in the group/event knew her.\ \ I watched them together over the course of 2-3 days. They seemed naturally affectionate.\ \ My friend all insist I see gay men where no one else does-- I''ve been out for 40 years-- but I got NO gay vibe from him.\ \ Not that that will stop the endless speculation on DL.
Longtime DL member who lives in one of those "special" places.
R34, unless a guy is an actor, model or athlete, there aren''t usually shirtless pics just haning around.
r41, in an age where everyone carries a camera (cell phone) with them at all times, a celeb can be caught shirtless at the beach, at the pool, in the locker-room, sunning on his lawn.
I had a shirtless beach picture of him on my old computer. It was from six or seven years ago.
True, R42, but actors and athletes are far more likely to have shirtless photos of them out there than a news anchor
Jack Cafferty hit a bicyclist and kept driving a few years ago. Guess there was no sobriety test.

He''s a Scorpio which explains a lot. My ex was a Scorpio. Boyscout on the outside ...secretive bastard on the inside. \ \ I read the Sextrology on Scorpios and Hemmer is probably gay. Gay Scorpios are extremely secretive, top until they meet the right older man which takes them a while, and then become bottoms. They are not ashamed of being gay, however are extraordinarily private and don''t feel their private life is anyone''s business. BUT once they meet the right guy, everyone will know. But Hemmer being in the spotlight, may not let everyone know. \ \ R40 is so transparent. You can always tell when they justify what they''re saying by explaining how unusual it is for them to protect whoever it is they''re defending.
I wasn''t aware that astrology could tell us so many things about someone''s sexuality, R46, including whether or not a guy is a top or a bottom.
"[R40] is so transparent. You can always tell when they justify what they''re saying by explaining how unusual it is for them to protect whoever it is they''re defending."\ \ This was not at all an "unusual" situation, but simply one where few or no cameras were on-- and there were other well-known celebs present-- so there was no reason for him and the chick to "put on a show."\ \ I''m a longtime celeb journalist and have fairly reliable or eyewitness evidence of those who actually are gay. Meanwhile, you can continue to fetishize those whom you WISH were gay.
R40
And, BTW, I had never met the guy before.
R40
"I''m a longtime celeb journalist and have fairly reliable or eyewitness evidence of those who actually are gay."\ \ So which celebs do you know are gay?
Didn''t Hemmer briefly date Kim Guilfoyle, the ex-wife of Gavin Newsome, the Mayor of San Francisco? And then she quickly married someone else. Didn''t want to beard, eh?
When he did the morning show at CNN he arrived at the studio fully made up. Didn''t allow the makeup people to touch him.
So...he did his own make-up R52. What''s wrong with that?
It''s unusual, R53. And a bit prissy.
[quote]"When he did the morning show at CNN he arrived at the studio fully made up"\ \ [bold]MARY![/bold]
There has always been something abit ...askew w/ the honorable Mr. Hemmer).
I would LOVE to watch Rob Marciano cornhole Bill Hemmer.
Just an after thought, but I would bet money that Bill Hemmer has PROUDLY presented his hole to some leather daddy from whatever that leather bar''s name was on Ponce De Leon.
R8 I knew him too from Elder High School. He had gfs but he would hand with a particular buddy Saturday nights and ignore the gf. Always thought that was weird. Oh, and he cut off his sister''s toes with the famiy lawnmower.
He has been in a long term, serious relationship with his model/actress gf for years.
Why no marriage or kids by now, R59?
R40, I was willing to believe you until you said that you got no gay vibe from him. If there is anything that he emits, it is a gay vibe, gf or otherwise.
R59, why do you care?
R60, the same could be asked of you like I asked of R59. Why do you care?
R63, I''m just pointing out that the large majority of straight guys are married or have kids by age 45.
R60
r60, so if someone isn''t married or have kids by the age of 45 they are automatically gay? You can''t be serious, not in this day and age when being single and childless is fully acceptable. This is the 21st century is it not?
r63
That''s not what I said. Pay attention. All I said was that the large majority of straight guys today are still married or have kids by age 45.\ \ I didn''t say it guarantees he is gay. I''m just saying it is a possibility.
R60
There is an equal possibility he is straight, too. Marriage and/or having children prove nothing one way or the other these days. Being single is perfectly acceptable these days.
r63
He isn''t very bright is probably the reason why he is single.
"I grew up near him. I always thought he looked like a cross between and Osmond and a cow."\ \ r8, what does his ass look like? It''s supposedly nice, but he always covers it up with jackets.
A wholesome, family oriented Roman Catholic, whose mother groomed him for the priesthood, Hemmer would be married by now if he were straight. End of story.
The reason he covers his ass is because it is rather larger than it should be.

45?? This guy looks 25.
He''s actually 46-years old on 11/14.
Bill used to be weekend sports anchor at our station WCPO in Cincinnati. He was then made a features reporter and his last assignment was a round the world trip - with his male best friend - where he did reports for the station. He and the male best friend were shown huddling together in the cold atop the Himmalayas, tenting together in the South American rain forests, etc. He was gone A YEAR to do this thing and away from civilization for the most part, so.... it''s nice to have your best friend around you in those situations.
DL used to have a poster named HemmerHummer.
If he suddenly started to develop huge muscles, people would call him Hemmerroid
How do you know that was his best friend R74?
R72, in real life he looks his age. He just photographs well with the right lighting, camera angles, makeup, and airbrushing of pictures.
R71, how can you tell how fat his ass is, by looking at that photo?
Catholic, 45 and never married? Not a priest? GAY.
R77 he said so and the guy was not a reporter for the station.
Not so much gayface as tard-face.

LOL!
[quote]There is an equal possibility he is straight, too. Marriage and/or having children prove nothing one way or the other these days. Being single is perfectly acceptable these days.\ \ It is not a question of it being accepted or "acceptable." It is more a matter that most guys have found a spouse by the time they reach 45. Not that staying single isn''t a valid option -- it is. But, the chances are that most males who are 45 and have never been married are probably gay. There are exceptions, without a doubt, but it doesn''t seem accurate to say that it is an "equal possibility" that he is straight. At the age of 25 his unmarried status would be insignificant. But, by the age of 45, his lack of a spouse is far more significant.\ \ I''m not saying that he''s gay or that it proves that he is gay, but it is not fair to simply dismiss out of hand his marital status as having no predictive value. In many cases it does, and it might in his also.
Great post, R84
Bill Hemmer has always stated that he''s too busy to date, which I believe him. Jack Cafferty is just too weird.
"But, by the age of 45, his lack of a spouse is far more significant."\ \ Of course, you all keep ignoring the notion that basically, he DOES have a spouse. They''re simply not married.... just like many gay couples!
Oh, the boys resist the truth
Who R87? A good Catholic boy like him would''ve married her by now.
At least bi.\ A married fuck bud of mine was also a fuck bud of his a while back.
I can''t even BEGIN to imagine what Jack Cafferty''s hole must look like. I pray he never presents it.
Dullest knife in the group. He probably doesn''t know the difference between and man and a woman.
"[R71], how can you tell how fat his ass is, by looking at that photo?"\ \ I want to know the same thing as R79. Given that jacket, there''s not much there there to see.
Dorothy Barker - both spaded and neutered
If it weren''t for his looks, he still would be living in Cincinnati. He is the classic good looking dumb jock. There is no intellect there worth noting.
Why does everyone think he''s dumb? He''s no different from any other newscaster.
He was outed as a retard years ago.
r94, he is worse than others.
I wonder if Bill and Anderson ever...you know. Or if Bill and TJ ever...you know.
He''s not hot. He has that "I''m Patricia Neal and my eyes are too far apart" look. He''s not worth his own thread.
I like Bill Hemmer. I liked him better on CNN but CNN dumped him without even tell him, so, I can''t say I wouldn''t have done the same thing.
CNN didn''t dump him. It was the end of his contract and his ego was too big to go to DC. He thought he was "all that" and they knew he wasn''t.
Don, what were you thinking?

Being on Fox News drops his hotness factor (what was left of it) by at least 10 points alone.
[quote]I bet he''ll be one of those guys who gets married in his late 40''s and starts having kids. You know, like other homo celebrities.\ \ \ You mean like Chief Justice John Roberts!
r103\ \ Hemmer will never have any kids. He loves the freedom to travel w/o any tethering too much. ''Sides, his choice of old ladies ensures that. Hides behind the breads, the coward that he is.
Okay so like he''s my uncle and i garuntee, he is not gay. he has a freakin girlfriend! so ya''ll just need to back off and chill
s
I''m not R89, but I also have a fuck buddy who was once his fuck buddy.
I lost all interest in him when he went over to FOX News. I used to obsess over him and lust after him... but now... zilch. %0D
Bovine.
R105,\ \ Having a girlfriend doesn''t preclude him from being gay. May gay people who have never come to terms with their orientation try their hardest be straight. They get married and have families. Still, they are gay.

he is absolutely not gay, sorry peeps

Sorry Amy but he''s sucked me off in the Fox News mens room on the 5th floor at 1221 6th.
The Lips of Rick Folbaum
I LOVE r105. Parody post?
Does anyone remember seeing him at the Blue Moon in Rehoboth Beach?
He comes from a conservative Catholic family. They would have a hard time accepting he is gay. He may be so deeply closeted that he may think he is straight even though he enjoys gay sex. Not an uncommon form of denial\ Doubt he would ever come to terms with being gay. Unfortunate that being honest with himself and his family is so hard.

His family would deny he is gay until they are blue in the face. They can''t handle it.
Little Blue Moon!
lots of gays come from conservative families. it''s not that unusual.
I''ve also heard that his ass is a little too big.
and just where did you hear that, R120?
Yes, R120, source please.
He's not gay but if he was he'd be a top. He's wah-wah-WONDERFUL!!!!
What [R102] says. Fox News?.....Really?
He's so so very
He's 45 & hasn't produced spawn & an obedient wife & a dog & an SUV? What's wrong with this picture????
Ex-Gay Counselor
He's too busy, getting busy, to do that, IF you know what I mean. Wouldn't it be cool if Bill Hemmer did his newscast without a shirt on. Man FOX New would be not only #1, but SUPER #1
The Tommy Sands of news.
Hemmer, 47, has been.
I first learned of Bill Hemmer in the 90's when he worked at CNN. As a gay man, myself, I'd say he's gay. Someday, I hope he has the courage to come "Out". Bill, You're Loved.
He's not loved. A closet case at Fox News. Nothing to love.
Cotinuation to previous note, which I wrote. Bill you're handsone and successful. Note: Closets are for shoes and clothes not people. Robert H. (Folsom, CA).
