Oh the STORIES I could tell... Martina and Billie Jean, Martina and Wendy, Billie Jean and Wendy, Martina and Billie Jean and Wendy.

If you thought you saw the FUR FLY between Alexis and Krystle back in the 80s, you ain't seen NUTHIN' yet! Those WTA LOCKER ROOMS in the 80s had naked limbs AKIMBO round the clock.

Oh, but I didn't really see much, as I was trying to sneak a PEEK at those ATPers. You know, Johnny Mac and ummm... all those MALE players in the 80s. Uh, who else? Um, McEnroe, and uh, GEEZ why can't I remember? I was always trying to spy on the PEEN.

But, boy, I remember Rosie and Ginny and Gigi and Conchita and Gabby and Hana and Jana and... oh I'm getting OFF TOPIC. Those men in the 80s were the BOMB.

Maria Bello and Mariska Hargitay

Oprah and Tina Turner.

Ruth & Naomi

R6 is making up the one about Empress Alexandra and Anna Vyrubova!

Tomato/Tomahto

Everybody knows the Vyrabovas are all about the cock!

Maggie Gallagher and Phyllis Schlafy

Janet Napolitano and her entire female staff

Random Thoughts...

Oprah and Maria Shriver (she's Pam's cousin, you know) Maybe Gayle has been bearding all these years? Hmm... Maybe I am joshing about? Hmm...

I read a while back that Marlene Dietrich and Mae West of all people might have had a thing going back in the year one. That is an interesting combo to say the least.

Who was Agnes Moorehead's partner? Was that very made public?

Dolly has already admitted in her biography that she and Judy Ogle have shared a bed for years. Before and even during Dolly's marriage to Carl Dean.

R2, it wasn't initially public, I wasn't following closely at the time but I think Ronson was referred to as a "friend" for quite awhile.

Camilla Belle/Maria Sharpova

Kristen Stewart/Nikki Reed

Kristen Stewart/Katy-Perry's-assistant

Kristen Stewart/Dakota Fanning

Lea Michele/Diane Argon

Ellen Page/Clea Duval (this one is most likely true)

Cara Delvigne (model and rumored ex of Harry Styles)/Rita Ora (singer) (I didn't know who either of them were until I heard this rumor)

Gertrude Stein / Alice B. Toklas

Tallulah Bankhead and Hattie McDaniel.

Queen Liz and Maggie Thatcher. Allegedly.

R19=l chat

No one outside of them would care for such a list.

Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok

IN HISTORY???

When did history begin with the 1990s?

r16, according to Maria Riva, there was alot of flirtation between West and Dietrich, but nothing happened. West loved to shock and Dietrich loved the woman's bawdy humour.

Riva confirms Dietrich's affairs with Piaf, De Acsota, and Jo Carstairs, as well as trysts with authors Colette and Gertrude Stein.

Rumoured lesbian trysts:

Elisabeth Bergner Claire Waldoff Lili Damita Elizabeth Allen Dolores Del Rio Greta Garbo Alla Nazimova Anna May Wong Greta Keller Ona Munson Jean Arthur Tallulah Bankhead Paulette Goddard Judy Garland Claudette Colbert Elke Sommer Sigrid Gurie Kay Francis Marilyn Monroe

Marcia Cross and Kristen Davis

Mary Tyler Moore/Bernadette Peters Bernadette Peters/Liz Smith Liz Smith/Holland Taylor Liz Smith/Morgan Fairchild Liz Smith/Suzanne Somers Kim Basinger/Jodie Foster Jodie Foster/Kelly McGillis Kelly McGillis/Whitney Houston Whitney Houston/Jodie Foster Jodie Foster/Gillian Anderson Gillian Anderson/Tyra Banks Tyra Banks/Teresa Weatherspoon Madonna/Jenny Shimizu Jenny Shimizu/Angelina Jolie

Liz Smith/Dana Delany

Lena Horne and Ava Gardner

Ava Gardner and Lana Turner, which may have been a one time thing more than an affair.

Kirstie Alley and Kelly Preston

Whitney Houston and Jodie Foster fighting over Kelly McGillis.Supposedly Jodie got a real ass whoopin from Whitney.

Garbo's last rumored romance was with French heiress Cécile Léonie Eugénie Gudule Lucie de Rothschild.

Truman Capote, not the most reliable of sources, claimed that Cécile de Rothschild bought Garbo a lovely apartment in Paris.

The rumors were widespread. It inspired the fictional romance between reclusive, retired star Karla and the filthy rich Deidre Milford Granger in Jacqueline Susann's Once Is Not Enough.

In the novel, and subsequent film, Karla loved Dee but wasn't above letting Dee give her lavish gifts.

Louise Brooks and Greta Garbo

Joan Jett and Cherie Curie (this really happened, btw!)

Katharine Hepburn and Cynthia McFadden

Connie and Annie

Not rumored but I've wondered about Cherie Curie and Jodie. Based on how she described her relationship with her in her book.

How is it possible that no one has mentioned Lillian Gish and Dorothy Gish!

Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett (almost certainly never happened, though)

Jodie Foster and The Go-Go's Gina Schock

Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker (another one that really happened)

Claudette Colbert and Marlene Dietrich

Drew Barrymore and Jane Pratt

Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page

Will & Jada

Madonna & Sandra

That one isn't rumored r49. Jodie and Gina were together for a long ass time. Um,I guess it still qualifies.

Ellen Page. Man, did she disappeared.

Isn't Katherine H and Cynthia more about her being her secret daughter?

Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickock

Interesting r41. Have you read that novel?

Liz Smith and Iris Love (this one is true)

Liz Smith and Sue Simmons

Joan Jett and Kathleen Hannah

Jada, Oprah, Whitney, Tyra, Lena. NONE of them are lesbo. None. Leave these fine ladies alone.

R55, I've heard both the "secret daughter" rumor and "secret lover" rumor

Hepburn is also supposed to have had affairs with her friend Laura Harding and her secretary Phyllis Wilbourn.

Joan Crawford and Marilyn Monroe

Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West (this actually happened)

Willa Cather and Isabelle McClung

Willa Cather and Edith Lewis

Sarah Orne Jewett and Annie Fields

George Sand and Marie Duval

Susan Sontag and Annie Leibowitz (this was acknowledged, albeit not until after Sontag's death)

Jacqueline Susann and Ethel Merman.

Gia Carangi and Sally Linter

Madonna and Kelly McGillis.

Madonna and Lori Petty.

Winona Ryder and Brittany Murphy.

Dietrich and Monroe together:

Angelina Jolie and everybody

Hildegard Knef was reportedly one of Dietrich's lovers.

Another rumoured Dietrich lover was Rosemary Clooney.

Rizzoli and Isles

Elzabeth Mitchell and that chick

Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West

Madonna and Jodie

Jodie and Wionna Ryder

Not sure if I have this one accurate but I think I remember hearing Madonna and Ellen Barkin? Could have been Madonna and some other blond.

[60} GET OVER IT.

Most certainly these are VERY FINE Women and remain exceptionally fine lover of other women even if you are a homophobe. Whitney and Robyn were an item in their youth, Momma Cissy all but said it in her interview, AND in her book. Lena is well known to have had female lovers. Wont speak to the others.

Lena Horne and Ava Gardner own this thread.

But don't discount Lena and Jinx Falkenburg. Lena was positively cuckoo over her.

Talking of r60 getting over it

Tyra and some basketball player (WNBA)

Lena Horne and Sue Simmons

Liz Smith and Kaye Ballard

Lena and Tallulah (I don't believe it)

Lena and Marlena. Lena looks like she doesn't want to be there, so I don't believe it:

Can't judge by one millisecond in time captured r79

Lena's gay fug husband let her do whatever she wanted, but with all of the available women in the world, Dietrich??? Can't see it.

I don't think Lilo and Samantha was a rumor. They were out and together.

R79, as a blind person you really are not in a position to judge body language. Lena was creaming all around her legendary three-inch clitoris in that pic.

[quote] Who was Agnes Moorehead's partner? Was that ever made public?

One of them might have been Kathy Ellis, who was referred to publicly as Aggie's "secretary" or "stand-in" (even though their height and builds were completely different). They were together at least from the mid-50's until 1970. It's not unusual to see Kathy in the background doing walk-ons or bit parts in Aggie's movies/TV guest spots and on Bewitched.

r64, my understanding is that Jacqueline Susann had a major crush on Ethel Merman, almost to the point of stalking her, but Ethel did not reciprocate. I could be wrong though.

As r82 pointed out, are we including those who were known to be full couples? The ones mentioned in some of these like r49 (Jodie-Gina) , r54 ( Madonna-Sandra) , r43 (Joan-Cherie) and Lindsey-Sam were in relationships and not just rumored.

Does this mean that Jodie Foster is a slut? It seems like she practically slept with every lesbian in hollywood.

Supposedly, Madonna and Jennifer Grey during the time they did Bloodhounds of Broadway together.

Hillary Clinton and Mary Steenbergen

Jenny Shimizu and Madonna. Michelle Rodriguez and Kristanna Loken.

I think at this point people are just listing all the female celebrities and pairing them up randomly.

[quote]R6 is making up the one about Empress Alexandra and Anna Vyrubova!

The Empress and her dear friend were RUMORED to be lesbian lovers. OP asked for rumored couples. The people of Russia were eager to believe every bad thing possible that could be attributed to the Empress. It was only natural that they would gossip about an "unnatural" relationship between her and Anna Vyrubova (a dowdy dullard elevated to a life of privilege for being the Empress' only close woman friend.)

Rosanna Arquette and Madonna Rosanna Arquette and Laura Dern Rosanna Arquette and Melissa Etheridge

And no [R91], this is not just listing all the female celebrities and pairing them up randomly. I recognize almost all pairings as internet gossip of the last twenty years.

That doesn't mean, of course, that they are true. But this thread is titled "Rumored lesbian romances in history".

Lol, r83. Leave it to a man to think clit size means anything.

Ava Gardner and Lana Turner, caught in the act by Frank Sinatra. (None of the principals confirmed this rumor.)

Hillary Clinton+Markie Post

Liz Smith+Jessica Savitch

Liz Smith+Gillian Anderson

Liz Smith+Marisa Tomei

How could we forget

Jodie and Gillian Anderson

[quote] And no [[R91]], this is not just listing all the female celebrities and pairing them up randomly. I recognize almost all pairings as internet gossip of the last twenty years.

R93 is correct, I remember most of these as well. Here's one to add:

Portia de Rossi and Guin Turner, briefly. I think there were paparazzi photos of them.

Portia broke up with Francesca Gregorini to be with Ellen. That one's on the record.

I hope so r87

I remember hearing that Jodie was the go-to gal for curious actresses. Jodie was just providing help. Bless her.

Bebe Neuwirth and Whoopi Goldberg=one of the great casting couch odd couples

LOL @R71. That was hilarious.

R77....It was Tyra and Teresa Witherspoon.

Does anyone really believe all these crazy Liz Smith rumors?

This thread makes me drip like a leaky faucet.

Jacqueline Susann and Carole Landis, not a rumor, absolutely true.

Lena Horne and Tallulah Bankhead. At least Tallu tried.

Cynthia Nixon and Sarah Jessica Parker were partners at one point. NOt sure if they still are.

Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews

jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen

I played. St. Petersburgh when I toured with Alister Sims in Our American Cousin. The talk wasn't about Anna and Alix, but Anna and Rasputin, It wasn't true, but there were rumors. There were rumors about Alix and Rasputin too. Still not true. The rumors about myself and Raspitan? True. Tonthis day I cannot see a French bread, or a salami without getting aroused.

Now that would be a hot pairing if it were true, R108.

Whitney and Lela Rochon during the filming of Waiting to Exhale

Patti LaBelle and Nona Hendryx

[quote]Does anyone really believe all these crazy Liz Smith rumors?

Which are the crazy ones? I know some of the rumors to be true.

Liza and Lana Cantrell.

Bumpy

Isn't jacqueline Bisset rumored to be gay? Always though Candice Bergen was, especially when she married the French director. She's married to some rich/finance guy now. Think he was older than she when they married.

The ultimate rumored lesbian romance: Jodie, Kelly and Whitney. Any version of the always-changing-story.

Sue Simmons and Jessica Savitch

R116 Is that a for real rumor?

Where have you been in the last 20 years r118?

Candice Bergen is gay, R115. Her first husband was the French director that was bi and rumor is that they had an open relationship. There aren't any rumors about Jacqueline Bisset but she has always pinged my gaydar. I can definitely see them having a fling behind the scenes. They were both gorgeous at the time.

Diane Sawyer and...

I heard a rumor somewhere that Camilla Belle had a fling with Shannon Woodward.

[quote[I heard a rumor somewhere that Camilla Belle had a fling with Shannon Woodward.

HA! Though CB is a former androgyne of sorts, both are man-worshipers at the end of the day.

So, I dunno. I think by "heard" you mean "misheard," or by "fling," you mean "appeared in the same project once."

C. and M. Sharipova? Possibly at one insecure, drunken point in time.

Jill Farren Phelps and Robin Christopher

r36 it's like celebrity cunt swap

r124 - Oh my!

Tallulah Bankhead and Billie Holiday

Alia Nazimova and June Mathis

Diedre Hall and Jane Elliott(Sp?)

Beth Ann Bonner and Bree Williamson

Alla Nazimova and Anna May Wong

Alla Nazimova and Jean Acker

Marilyn Monroe and Ava Gardner

This is all just malicious gossip!

I find it so weird that the subject line contains "in history" and the OP only lists recent celebrities.

Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop

R123, Shannon Woodward is the one who worships men, to a sad extent at that. I'm pretty positive Belle is at least fluid. But you're correct that these two women never had a fling.

Liz Smith and Ann Richards

Liz Smith and Kaye Ballard

Gillian Anderson + Elisha Jade Donowa

Helen Hunt + Melissa Etheridge

Betty had Veronica

Ann Richards- not gay

Holland Taylor - gayer than Gay Gayerson

Markie Post boffed Bill, not Hill.

[quote]Spring Byington and Marjorie Main

This is my very favorite couple of all time. I can just seem them together, Spring all twittery and light, and Marjorie your basic bull dyke.

I love how they were known as the "dowager lesbians of Hollywood."

A question, not a rumor, Carrie Fisher and anyone?

So what's with Gillian Anderson? She dates beautiful women- like this Elisha Jade woman I looked up- but the men she's with all look deformed. is she so gay she can only judge female hotness?

Jesus, is that butt even real

Real, and spectacular r140.

Elisha looks damn fine from the front as well, r139.

Anderson is a lesbian. She "dated" both Jodie Foster's handbag and somehow (I wonder how?) picked up Geri Halliwell's ex-beard as her last boyfriend.

Most I've ever heard about Carrie Fisher is that she made out with a few women at parties. She's admitted it...and went on to say it didn't do anything for her. Her mom loves washed up sitcom moms and Vegas showgirls though.

There's a lot of gossip on GA having a sexual fetish for women's asses. She hit the jackpot with that girl R139. She also banged Tyra Banks who has a sizable butt.

Shocked at the lack of mention of Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor.

Agnes Morrehead was with that character actress whose name I can't remember! There was a thread here long ago called "Alice Whatley's Ghost" or something like that. Alice Whatley...Wheatley, Watly? Does anyone recall?

One of Agnes Moorehead's GF's.

[quote]Isn't jacqueline Bisset rumored to be gay?

Anybody know any of the rumors? I've heard about the one with Candice Bergen but is there anything else?

Go away, R125. Pollute another thread with your incisive humor.

Bo Derek and Annette Haven.

"I find it so weird that the subject line contains "in history" and the OP only lists recent celebrities."

I was just about to post this. Not only has the OP listed celebrities, so have a majority of the other posters in this thread.

The general public is way too obesesed with celebrities and show business in general, not only that, most people will recognize a photo, or drawing, of a celebrity before they would recognize a political figure!

I meant to post, "...before they would recognize a historical figure," Actually politicians do fit right in with historical figures.

Comedic actress Alice Ghostly was married to an Italian actor, Felice Orlandi, for fifty years.

Did people back then seriously beard for such long periods of of time? Could you stay in a fake relationship for FIFTY years?!

Gwen Stefani and half the females to ever attend No Doubt concerts.

R151 = double standard

Marisa Berenson and Diane von Furstenberg

Marisa Berenson and Liza Minnelli

Thanks for the gossip, ladies!

Helen Hunt + Melissa Etheridge

Helen Hunt has no standards!!!

Laura Misch/Pam Grier

Pam Grier/Joanna Cassidy (sp?)

Melissa Etheridge is the lezbo Mick Jaggar - getting women that would never look twice at her if she wasn't a rock star.

Pam Grier has it going on. In her prime Pam Grier was the shit!

Grier and Misch may have been the most attractive lezzie couple in history.

Helen Hunt was *way* out of Etheridge's league. Dat ass.

And somebody had better mention Liz Smith and holland Taylor. Dammit.

Helen Hunt is fugly... I don't understand the fascination with her.

Let's hear more about Nona and Patti, Oprah and Tina Turner, and Whitney and Lela R. Details?? Thanks

Crystal Bernard + Morgan Fairchild

Helen Hunt was like a sexier Jodie Foster when they were both younger. Pretty with a mouth watering figure. She's kept her figure but sacrificed her face.

Melisa Etheridge was hideous when she was young and never would have scored Hunt if not for the Lilith Fair fad.

Didn't Hunt also romance Gillian Anderson?

Now that's a beautiful woman, r139.

Jodie Foster and Claire Danes

R166, that claim is a lie, but you probably know that because you're also the idiot at r139 who keeps peddling this fabrication.

We have something called trolldar hear, dear. Those aren't the same posters. How is it you know that claim is lie? Have you been staking out Gillian Anderson's bushes?

"We have something called trolldar hear, dear." Oh, dear.

What's with the Gillian Anderson fans invading this site? Anytime the gossip gets good on this woman they swoop in and start calling people liars and idiots.

I could have sworn that her career ended with x-files. Are her fans in a timewarp of some kind?

I endorse the Bo Derek & Annette Haven affair; that was one of those open secrets. Today people just stare blankly.

Anyone mention Vanna White?

Not a Gillian Anderson fan girl and I don't care whose muff she's diving into these days but her career didn't end with the X-Files.

She has consistently worked since the X-files ended. Just saw her in two things recently: The Fall and Hannibal.

Carry on....

She still works. She's not a star.

Sorry but I can't shake the feeling that Gillian Anderson has a P.R. department working for her on gossip sites: there's always someone that appears to announce that her career is still thriving and she wouldn't sleep with certain women who have been consistently linked to her.

It seems like an awful lot of work for someone who is a character actress in a few tv shows. I'm getting Baby Jane vibes off this woman. The pressure of aging plus the closet.

R173, that woman has only ever been linked to Anderson on this site, by a person or persons who appear to have been shilling for the Sun newspaper (if you remember the thread).

There was a thread a year or so ago, when Anderson was reappearing on UK tv and it was clear the Sun was desperately trying to break some kind of "lesbian scandal" story on her. They seemed to have be trying to throw out names and rumours and fabrications and seeing if anyone would bite.

Gillian's been linked with many women, and I'm not denying any of that, but whenever she and her sexuality are mentioned on DL there is a efforts by a particular individual to link her to the woman at r139, which is a fabrication.

From previous threads where this individual has made these claims, it's been quite apparent on several occasions that the same individual has been attempting to bump his/her posts and get a "discussion' going.

And, the idea that I am personally employed by Gillian Anderson is certainly flattering for me, but hilarious and wrong.

This is one of the "Elisha posts" from the old thread. Make what you will of it, but whenever I see these "Elisha posts" on Gillian Anderson threads, it makes me think someone is out to get her using her sexuality as a weapon. As a lesbian and X-Files fan, I don't want bisexual or lesbian women in the entertainment industry to be attacked in this way.

Oh, and as a British lesbian, I can assure you we don't say things like "knockers" or "shag a bint".

"Gillian Anderson is a public figure that has depended on media operations to make her name. She is not our Queen on her throne, able to dictate terms. And she wasn't born to this life, she pursued it. The media doesn't exist just to give Gillian Anderson only mint copy, though she seems to think it should. She wanted the mdeia spotlight, got it (for a full stop), and has to live with the negatives. Assuming you're Brit/American or Western, I would hope that you understand the concept of freedom of the press.

"On the Murdoch ops, let me tell you what should be blaringly obvious. They've been covering Gillian's many (many) encounters with puss, celebrity or not, whether Sharon Stone or Helen Hunt, even Natalie Portman (think Moby), for years. All to save her image and that of major Fox properties. Gillian should be thanking em for this not condemning em; without a strong media empire on her side, people would widely know just how much she prefers a pair of knockers. As for today, there's not the same interest. Her major property is near brown bread. Why should Murdoch's power be used to cover any longer? If there is a green light on another X-Files, that outlook could quickly change. But at the moment it looks like Gillian will have to cover her own hind quarters.

"Gillian has used the media repeatedly for her own benefit. She probably was thinking along those lines when she revealed she fancies girls. We'll see if she can trick women like Elisha into taking hush-wedge/money. But her own hubris drove this story. It's not too smart to shag a bint and only later, after you get some new people, ask her to sign an NDA. It's possible she'll schtum Elisha up, just because Elisha is concerned about her own image. It would be a pity. But no matter, there are so many women involved that some will see print. At least if the Murdoch companies don't stop it."

I've heard about the Elisha Jade affair from people I trust. Anderson is a closet lesbian and has had quite a few affairs with black women. This is nothing new. And this story is certainly not limited to this site.

RE: Bo Derek.

Oh the stories I could tell. I'll make it short. Bo is another former Hollywood porn worker and callgirl. Her girlfriend before she hit it big was indeed Annette Haven. Annette was also a callgirl and a name in the porn industry. They were lovers through "10" if not beyond.

Bo took many other women as lovers. The stories from "Tarzan the Ape Man" about her exploits with many of the gorgeous extras were common knowledge in Hollywood when she was big.

I procured girls for her a couple of times. She had an eye for Suze Randall talent.

[quote]Gillian's been linked with many women, and I'm not denying any of that, but whenever she and her sexuality are mentioned on DL there is a efforts by a particular individual to link her to the woman at [R139], which is a fabrication.[/quote]

How do you know it's a fabrication?

Thanks for the extra gossip but I don't see where you provide any proof of anything other than your own over-investment in denying this affair.

Was Gertrude Lawrence the actress a dyke

Oprah and Gayle

Whitney Houston and Robin her former manager.

Anais Nin and June Miller, Henry Miller's wife.

Suzanne Somers and apparently any woman she could get her hands on according to the thread about bi/gay celebrities.

Virginia Woolf and some woman who I forget the name of.

Vita Sackville-West who was bisexual and married to the bisexual man Nigel Nicolson and Violet Trefusis see link.

Frida Kahlo and some woman.

Here's the link I mentioned in the previous post.

Mylie Cyrus and a lot of bi/lesbian female prostitutes.

[quote]There was a thread a year or so ago, when Anderson was reappearing on UK tv and it was clear the Sun was desperately trying to break some kind of "lesbian scandal" story on her. They seemed to have be trying to throw out names and rumours and fabrications and seeing if anyone would bite.

I think these tactics have really killed off a lot of good internet gossip over the years. No matter what people say, PR and journalists of course find these threads and must spend considerable amounts of time lurking on the internet (which is let's face it, the prime source of anything celebrity-related now, not the TV or radio) and threads must be infiltrated by shills and raving fangurls, the genuinely curious (me) and those with a truthful or good second-hand story to tell.

The dilemma is sorting the wheat from the chaff these days.

I can see Gillian as an all-out gay woman (imo it could be fear of past wild nights and relationships coming back to haunt that keeps her in?) - still there are those that fully believe she is in a genuine loving relationship with David Duchovny, they live together secretly and her kids go to school in New York so she can be near him. And that this is all covered up, much like a Robsten scenario for the 'faithful'. And that they are always a step away from going public with their love...

So, very contrasting stories though if you believe Anderson is bi, as she basically admits to in a roundabout way, then either or both scenarios could be valid.

Or people are just making up tons of crap for attention.

- r175

So you're the crazy poster pissed off about gossip in the thread you linked to, right? Your conspiracy posts read the same as your stuff in this thread. Why is a person that hates gossip on datalounge of all places? Are you that obsessed with Gillian Anderson?

This site was up on Gillin A being a carpet licker when TXF was still a big ratings grabber, a dozen or so years before she admitted anything. Datalounge posters have been bringing dirt on her when she was big in America and every straight person thought she into men. So don't come here and act as if gossip on here is automatically illegitimate, R174.

That should be:

R184, the person you quoted is one of those "shills and raving fangurls". The "tactics" are being employed by this person to kill gossip on Anderson's pussy love. She/he/it has been on the Elisha Jade case for many months, trying to quiet down gossip on Anderson's lesbian sexcapades with Elisha. I've seen the same tactics with other closet case celebrities.

Remembering some of the gossip on the two, it's pretty strange if this is all fabricated how months in advance there were stories leaking of Elisha Jade about to accept payment in exchange for not talking to the press, and within that timeframe Ms. Jade disappeared as either a print model or internet personality. Some of our insiders predicted this and now it's come true. Pretty interesting, no? It looks like some industry people were privy to legal negotiations between the Anderson's camp and Elisha's and posted it here.

Datalounge has been infiltrated by more and more Hollywood cleaners since at least the Jonas Incident. They're doing major damage control on this site off of Google Alerts and General Search.

There are many people-most people maybe- who don't understand how Hollywood works.

I find the gossip on Anderson and her black girlfriend exceedingly believable. But I also worked at Fox Corporate and one of my best friends dated Gillian Anderson. My friend was a black woman and she looked strikingly similar to the woman @ r139. Same face and body type.

I met Anderson a couple of times. I think like so many actors she's really screwed up. Bi-polar maybe.

She treated my friend really well though. Better than any of the men she dated at least.

Drew Barrymore and Heather Graham were an item for a second.

Suzanne Sommers and Fran Drescher

Crystal Bernard and Morgan Fairchild

Jodie foster and Lindsay Lohan

Stevie Nicks and 5,000 female groupies

Gwen Stefani and 10,000 female groupies

I want more GOSSIP, bitches!!!

Sally Hershberger and Judy Davis

Megan Fox and Gillian Anderson had a brief affair on the set of "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People". Megan was a big fan of Gillian's tits...and talked about them on set.

Julie Andrews fucks a lot of young understudies. Or used to.

Was lena and ava long term?

Sandra Bernhardt and Patricia Velasquez.

Candice Bergen had an affair with Abbie Hoffman. She(Abbie) was a he though!

Liz Smith and Julia Roberts.

R139, many lesbians are what I call "kook collectors," meaning they form close friendships with very weird and weird-looking men.

How did Lizard Smith get all these women?

Sorry, "Liz" Smith.

Martina N and Gabriela Sabatini

r189 Foster and Lohan.....?!....what...

Follow the trail of Mercedes de Acosta and discover what appears to half of the actresses from the Golden Age.

Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan; they're even buried together at Washington's National Cathedral.

Stevie Nicks and her 80s songwriting partner Sandy Stewart, who came from nowhere to suddenly become Stevie's "protege".

What, R198?! Martina fucked Sabatini!? Give me a second!*thud*

One that was fairly well-known but is now forgotten -

Suzanne Somers+Carol Burnett

They were a pretty hot thing in the late 1970s. Michael Musto brought this one up years ago in an obvious Blind. Obvious for those of us around LA back then anyway.

Bebe Neuwirth & Whoopi Goldberg Viviene Leigh & Hattie McDaniel Marilyn Monroe & Barbara Stanwyck

did a search r203 and found this pic of Suzanne and Carol. Suzanne looks like she's on the verge of orgasm as Carol shares an intimate moment. This doesn't look like a casual "hi" at an awards event.

Sommers is soaking her panties in that pic, probably from prior knowledge of Burnett's talents. No two men would ever get away with being so forward with each other. Imagine Gere and Travlta in a pic like that. Immediate Enquirer Cover.

Barbara Stanwyck and Marilyn Monroe. During the film Clash by Night in 1952.

The link at R205 doesn't work for me.

Photo shows up on mobile but I had trouble with it on my PC. I tracked down the shot on another site. Click away.

I had never heard about Carol and Suzanne. I had heard rumors about her and Loni and Julie. Who else is she rumored to have been with?

Have heard rumors about Farrah Fawcett but never the names of the other women. Does anyone know which women she is rumored to have been with?

Sue Bird (WNBA) and Kate Paye (now asst. Stanford women's bball coach)

Tara VanDerVeer and Amy Tucker....oh wait, they are together but hiding it.

Thanks for re-posting, R209.

Tennis: Sabatini-Graf, Graf-Stubbs, Sabatini-G.Fernandez-C.Martinez (triangle), Navratilova-G. Fernandez

R210, Farrah didn't go for women in the entertainment business--she was flirtatious with cute, sweet, unassuming sales clerks, waitresses, you know, working class women.

Farrah was a really great person. Her death was overshadowed by Michael Jackson's death a bit.

RIP beautiful Farrah.

Billie Holiday and Delores DelRio

One for UK readers

Pam St.Clement (Eastenders' Pat Butcher) and BBC newsreader Moira Anderson

That would be Moira Stewart, R217.

Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen

Stewart, oops. Moira Stuart.

This flu..Stuart, not Stewart

r11, and you know this how?

r60, just because they all turned you down doesn't mean they aren't.

I'm beginning to believe that most of the world is gay. The homophobes are going to be in for a rude awakening.

Peggy Lipton talked about having relationships with women in her book. Her longest relationship with a woman happened around the time Twin Peaks was filming

Oh,my gosh...my secret's out... how is this possible?

r151, Often times the husbands were also gay. They thought this was great way to cover their tracks. Obviously they were mistaken

You're deluded, R224. A handful of the same names gossiped about over and over again on this board does not constitute "most of the world." Do you ever look around you?

Alice Ghostly was best buds with notorious lesbian comedian, Kaye Ballard.

We need more photos like R205/R209. I was highly skeptical of that pairing, but that photo is pretty convincing that Suzanne is very turned on.

Other people alleging pairings, do you have any photos to share?

r228, lndeed I have...not just talkin about movie stars

Melanie Griffith and Tatum O'Neal. This took place from the time O'Neal was twelve years old. Mel wasn't kidding when she said she had a bod for sin.

Also, Ashley Judd and Sherry Lansing.

Maria Schneider and Melanie Griffith. Makes me wonder about the Angelina Jolie quote ("Forget him [Antonio], I want to sleep with her [Melanie]!").

Anne Kirkbride and Eileen Derbyshire were at it like rabbits on the set of a Coronation Street. Rumour has it that Dawn Acton walked in on Anne using a half peeled banana on Eileen and went into immediate kidney failure.

Maria Sharapova and Camilla Belle

Rumored Romances I haven't seen on here -

Beverly D'Angelo and Lauren Hutton

Lauren Hutton and Julie Christie

Donna Mills and Mary Frann

I would love to have a fling with Lauren Hutton!!!

Beverly D'Angelo and Lauren Hutton was not a rumor, it was real. The one with Julie Christie was a rumor.

Definetly Whitney and Robyn. Early years for sure and it wasnt just record convention gossip. People that knew them always respond "Why does it matter?" I know folks that were friends with them then and remain so now with Robyn. Never is it absolute, firm denial like "NO they were not" but always a two step that will not damn. Even Cissy gives it a "I didnt know what went on." None of them are willing to lie on the issue. What is incredibly sad is that these people would rather see Whitney suffering and struggling as a cocaine addict than have her be free to live her life as she needed to. The biggest deniers are usually young silly fan girls and old bitter men.

Saint Hildegard of Bingen was a brilliant medieval German mystic, poet, artist, composer, healer and scientist who wrote with passion about the Virgin Mary. Some say she was a lesbian because of her strong emotional attachment to women, especially her personal assistant Richardis von Stade. Her feast day is Sept. 17.

If you are interested in her music, listen to this

Can we use this as a continuation of the "Lesbians we haven't talked about in while" thread, or does someone want to start a new one?

Dusty Springfield and Martha Reeves

Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh.

Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood? Currently?

Jacqueline Susann and Hildegarde

Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

Taylor Swift and Dianna Agron

Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss (heck TS with all her BFFs)

Cindy Crawford and Cristy Turlington

Serena Williams and Kelly Rowland

Maria Sharapova and Camilla Belle

Margaret Mead/Ruth Benedict (according to Mead's daughter)

Joan Crawford and Rock Hudson. A one night stand. Allegedly he took her on a studio-arranged publicity date, went home and took a shower. He felt a mouth on his dick and looked down to see Joan on her knees naked.

"Close your eyes and pretend I'm George Nader" she ordered. Not wanting to make an enemy of an A-lister, he complied.

Close enough?

Bridgette Bardot and Marilyn Monroe, just sex once supposedly.

Olivia Newton-John and Helen Reddy

Olivia Newton-John and Juice Newton

Olivia Newton-John and Sheena Easton

The only singer she didn't munch out was Karen Carpenter.

Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz.

R120- Isn't it funny that even from an image, a movie, a voice- that gaydar goes off!

Back in the day when the t.v show Family Ties was on (Meredith Baxter, Michael Fox) my gaydar used to get blips whenever I saw Meredith Baxter.

I took it for wishful thinking. Lo, she comes out many years later. Hah! It's a beautiful thing.

Trust your instincts brothers and sisters!

BTW, my gaydar goes off the charts whenever I see Judy Garland, even though she was reported to be a notorious cock hound...

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham

Rosie O'Donnell and Gloria Estefan. Gloria and her husband have been rumored to have a lavender marriage.

Britney/Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan

Not romances...more like drug and psychosis-fueled fucking/mutual obsession.

Yes R254, especially in Summer Stock - and the other actress at the beginning IS a lesbian, I heard (here, probably).

Judy Garland was my first lesbian crush (maybe followed by Kelly McGillis in Witness), and my guess is the apple never falls far from the tree.

Anyway. Read in a Judy Garland biography years ago that she was indeed bisexual, enjoyed the women and tended to be very promiscuous at parties.

Sounds like my kind of gal.

Oh yes, Gloria Estefan. Doesn't have very good taste apparently, but hot woman nonetheless.

Watch it, R258, the guys here go insane when anyone brings up Judy's bisexuality. And let's not go near Liza's...they want "proof."

Well, there's only women on this thread, I'm willing to bet.

God I would have followed young Judy anywhere (until the mid-1950s thereabouts). And I'm pretty sure she was fantastical in bed.

Debbie Reynolds and Agnes Moorhead

But this isn't fun. It would be so much more fun to just start one out of the blue and see if it catches on. I'll start:

Pat Nixon and Leontyne Price

R261, maybe if Judy was awake when the sex occurred. She was sauced most of the time.

sauced: to be so drunk all you can think about is how drunk you are

Thank you for the vocabulary lesson, R263. Not that it wasn't needed...

Too bad she was sauced as you put it. Oh, well. I still found her very attractive.

In any case, actresses tend to be a lot to handle. Cannot bear to imagine what a triple threat might be.

[quote]Stevie Nicks and 5,000 female groupies

Gwen Stefani and 10,000 female groupies

Marianne Faithful and 20,000 female groupies.

Stevie Nicks and Sharon Celani

r258 to which garland bio do you refer? I'd like to read it.

I'm fairly sure Judy and Capucine hit the sheets, more than once.

Capucine and Garbo

Capucine and Ava Gardner

Judy liked getting more than giving and was well known for deep throating dudes. There are a few bios that discuss Garland's sexcapades; one bio claimed Betti Page (or Patti- whotf knows) would pleasure her before she began a concert because it "calmed her".

On the other hand, she used to like to cry a bit for a dude (photographer, actor) and then they'd comfort her and she'd unzip their fly. worked like a charm for her!

She had that rubbery lipped fellatio smile for a good reason.

R268, please read the title of this thread. It's called, Rumored lesbian romances in history.

To be honest, I just don't remember... I read this a while ago, from the library, and I've moved countless times since then.

A present for my friends at Datalounge. This is very OT, but I didn't know where to post it.

“Bridgette Bardot and Marilyn Monroe, just sex once supposedly.”

The usual story is that Bardot wrote that in her memoirs. Which would mean that it is not a rumor but a fact.

BUT, I read those memoirs and this piece is not there. She even claims that lesbian sex is not her thing. She tried it once when she was a teener. And she met Monroe only once, in Buckingham Palace of all places, so I doubt they had sex.

I am linking to a picture of Capucine because she was just so fucking beautiful! Lord!

Capucine could very well have been BI because she had ladyfriends but she also had a somewhat long term affair with William Holden.

Capucine was bi by her own admission, there's no doubt about it.

Sue Simmons and Jessica Savitch.

I knew Capucine. She was not bi.

LOL, R276. I'm sure you asked her.

[274] Link to her admission please.

r276, tell us your Capucine stories!

Annette Haven and Bo Derek

Bo Derek and a bunch of "native women" extras off Tarzan (allegedly they had sex while filming in some cases)

Kim Kardashian and Jane Fonda

Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears

One rumour that I got reminded of the other day for some reason was Cat Deeley / Edith Bowman.

If John Derek was gay as everyone's saying, it would explain Bo Dereks's bisexuality.

Both Fonda and Spears are still obsessed with Kardashian sexually... Fonda likes to grab Kardashian's ass every chance she gets -

“She’s Always Grabbing My Butt”: Kim Kardashian Reveals How Jane Fonda Always Grabs Her Biggest Assets

A lot went down inside the annual ‘Night Before’ Oscars gala. Luckily enough, Piers Morgan recently blogged about his celebrity run-ins and the gossip we haven’t heard.

“I found Kim Kardashian standing by a pillar. She’s absolutely tiny at 5ft 2in, but famously well-proportioned in all the key areas, and exudes both good health and the most amazing skin,” Morgan revealed in the Daily Mail.

“I’ve always liked the little tinker, because she never pretends to be anything she’s not. ‘I don’t have any real talent other than for hard work,’ she once told me.”

While the British journalist and the reality star were talking, Jane Fonda just happened to glide by.

“‘I love her,’ sighed Kim. ‘Such a strong woman. And she’s always grabbing my butt or my boobs!'” the 33-year-old told Morgan.

When Morgan questioned the words that just came out of her mouth, Kim replied, “Yes, she loves them!"

Marisa Berenson and Anne Prentiss

Edith Bowman I find attractive, for some reason.

How did Marisa Berenson and Anne Prentiss get together?

Kate Jackson and Mrs. Kotter Kate Jackson and Liza

I wonder if experimenting with chicks was a 70s thing for Kate, because I never heard anything in the 80s and beyond.

You can't convince me that she wasn't banging Boxleitner.

bump. (cause i wanna hear more and am curious if this is about 'true rumours' - contradictio in terminis - or just wishful thinking).

Journalist Molly Ivins and Texas Gov. Ann Richards

Social reformer Jane Addams of Hull House fame and Mary Rozet Smith

Rose Cleveland, who served as First Lady for her brother, Grover Cleveland, and Evangeline Simpson Whipple

Catherine Keener? What say you? Have always found her very attractive, my girlfriend senses a major lesbian vibe.

Has no one mentioned Capucine and Barbara Stanwyck?

Capucine said it wasn't true, Babs had herself a steady babe at the time.

Melanie Griffith and Eva Longoria (allegedly started during Mel's marriage to the always cheating Antonio. To be fair Melanie has always liked having her own women on the side)

Candace Bergen and Jaqueline Bisset. I know someone that worked for Bisset in the early 80's.

Does Melanie still dress up in high-cut panties and garters to seduce underage girls?

Not that I'm complaining...

Rachel Carson and others, notably Dorothy Freeman

Rihanna and Yasmine Bleeth. I can't remember if it was old DL gossip, or from another board but I read they hooked up. Also, I heard Rihanna actually met Amber rose back when Amber was stripping. It seems Rihanna tested out Amber's goodies, and passed her onto Kanye. Lol.

Juana Ines de la Cruz and Countess Maria Luisa de Paredes, vicereine of Mexico.

If you want to learn more, i suggest you google 'nun who loved a countess'

Rachael Maddow and Chris Hayes

Ellen Degeness and Jenifer aniston

Is Dolly divorced.

Monica Belucci and Italian tv presenter llaria d'amico Have been talked about in Italian media circles of being together during Monica's marriage. They have vacationed together, gone to events and out to dinner. Totally hidden in plain site. Belluci's ex, Vincent Cassel was not the only one with an eye for the ladies.

That doesn't surprise me in the least, R301. Monica is such a narcissist. I guess, having an affair with another woman is sort of like rubbing a mirror against your vagina. It suits Monica very well. XD

R293 Would it fair then to assume that Candy and Sandy hooked up on Miss Congeniality?

Maybe they just had a grand old time, R303.

R302

Interesting theory. Although, for me Monica never comes across narcissistic to me. She obviously is supremely aware of her beauty, but she doesn't radiate anything other than being self aware.

Not even slightly surprised about Rihanna. She has been known to hold all female parties at her West Coast home. Would love to know which famous gals got invites. Amber Rose and Rihanna would have some freaky ass sex, I would imagine. But how about Amber Rose and Barry Diller 's wife for a hot lesbonic coupling? Lol. I read on another message board, that not only was Amber sexing Ms DVF - Amber was also very much taken care of financially by Dianne.

Melanie Griffith & Maria Schneider

Suzanne Somers & Meredith Viera

Sherry Lansing & Ashley Judd

Miley Cyrus & Amber Rose (ongoing)

Bettie Page & Judy Garland

R308, so Judy liked them slutty?

That is hot, R293. I've always heard that rumor.

I wonder if Bisset prefers the ladies more than men. She is still hot.

Other rumored lesbian romances you can see from miles away are Archie Panjabi/Julianna Margulies and Angie Harmon/Sasha Alexander

"To be fair Melanie has always liked having her own women on the side"

Just like Sharon Stone. (They're good friends by the way.)

Hillary Clinton and Mary Steenburgen

Bebe Neuwirth and Whoopi Goldberg

Do we buy this?

[Quote] When asked if this is her first turn as a lesbian, Blanchett curls her lips into a smile. “On film — or in real life?” she asks coyly. Pressed for details about whether she’s had past relationships with women, she responds: “Yes. Many times,” but doesn’t elaborate. Like Carol, who never “comes out” as a lesbian, Blanchett doesn’t necessarily rely on labels for sexual orientation. “I never thought about it,” she says of how she envisioned the character. “I don’t think Carol thought about it.” The actress studied the era by picking up banned erotic novels. “I read a lot of girl-on-girl books from the period,” she says.

To be fair, she does have a lesbian love story coming out, so that's gotta help selling tickets.

Gay Cate would be the best thing that can happen to entertainment industry.

I'm a guy so this isn't my area of expertise but a male friend told me his friend, a married stunt woman - Donna E - hooked up with either Sharon Stone or Sandra Bullock. He couldn't remember which.

It ended the stunt woman's marriage. She later remarried.

r279 I knew her in the last years of her life. She liked women. She was not bi. I'd like to tell you more but it would reveal my identity.

R316 Evans doubled for Bullock in three or four movies. SB presented her with a car for her work on Speed and Miss Congeniality so they appeared to be pretty close. She did double for Stone a couple of times but not sure if they were close? Not sure SB would be involved in any situation that could end someone's marriage. Otherwise you would have little sympathy for her during the collapse of her own marriage.

That would make sense, R317, since Pip was so keen on marrying her.

I heard Clea Duvall and Carla Gallo (on the set of 'Carnivale', wasn't it?).

Has Clea DuVall come out? She doesn't really need to.

She was kissing her gf in a public park, R321. She doesn't need to come out

Agreed, she never did R322.

Surely we must now be able to add Cate Blanchett and Gillian Anderson to the list.

Sure, why not. Is that what's called hiding in plain sight?

madonna and madonna

Tugboat Annie and Carmen Ghia

Daria and Jane. But, a platonic romance. I can't picture the sex, really.

Jane Fonda and Michelle Phillips; Linda Blair and Beverly D'Angelo; Marilyn Monroe and Jane Lawrence

R3299 "Marilyn Monroe and Jane Lawrence"

Oh, tell us more.

Well r95, Lana Turner-- I believe it. She didn't ping to me until her later films, including Imitation of Life. From that film on, she had a gritty, "don't screw with me" butch attitude. From that point on I saw her as a more "elbows out" sort of gal.

Marie Dressler and Louise Dresser

R95, R331, I don't believe that rumor because Ava's sister Bappie and Lana's business partner were with them.

[quote]Does this mean that Jodie Foster is a slut?

A female friend who went to Yale (she is a bit younger than Foster, so they weren't there at the same time) told me once, with a slightly shocked expression: You know, at Yale, Foster was known for sleeping around. My friend's expression when she said that still cracks me up. (She meant sleeping around with women, just so there is no confusion.)

Is it true that Mimi Craven (Wes Craven's ex) has an affair with Sharon Stone in the 80s?

R333, there was a police report because a screaming flight between Sinatra and Ava, Lana ended up on the from lawn and neighbors called the police. Sinatra caught them in the act or just after is the rumor, he certainly didn't approve of their behavior. The way to tell if it was really sexual is if Sinatra cut Lana off and trashed her because he was always violently jealous of Ava's lovers. That's what he did to Lena Horne, he trashed her after he and Ava got together because he knew she was a former lover of hers. That was not a one nighter, Ava and Lena were casual for a while. They lived almost next store for a time in the 1940s..

What hasn't Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Crawford been mentioned? This was confirmed by Helen Ferguson, Stanwyck's long time publicist.
