Darren Criss is engaged

oh Darren...

He makes my peen hard.

To a biological woman??

They just look like any other homo and his hag in that photo. He must still think he'll hit it big one day or something to engage in this charade.

Anyway, congrats!

All the good ones are taken!

He’s straight. Get over it you fat fraus.

OMG, that pose with the lower leg up. I just can't. So cringe worthy.

Has ANYONE had him? All because he presents "gay" doesn't mean he is...

Gurl, please.

I’ve worked with him. He’s far too boring to be gay.

He was at an IHeart Radio concert event last night with a Celine Dion t-shirt... yeah he's gay

I wonder if the rumors his being at some of Bryan Singer's parties are true. Probably...

Wow. Okay, Darren.

Never heard of rumors about Singer parties. Now, rumors about Murphy and Adam Shankman parties I will believe.

He's a thirsty millennial hipster from San Francisco. Of course he'll wear a Cher t-shirt. Anything to get attention.

Engaged right in the middle of all the press while playing a gay guy.

Nothing suspicious there.

Oh, Darren, the scarf, the pants, the pose. Very believable.

Anyone who knows him knows that he loves pussy. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

Lance Bass is a big Celine fan too.

Wasn’t he dating a black girl for a while?

You’re all just being mean. I think it’s dreamy.

Well, I like their house.

Congrats !!

I hope we get to see a video of the wedding night pegging.

He's an attention whore even in holiday pictures from Japan.

Engaged? Engaged in what - sodomy?

LOL R24 you're horrid LOL!

WTF is he trying to prove?

Is it April Fools Day already?

OMG!

Everyone here who claims to have met him says he’s a dumb straight bro in real life but he pings hard in every interview I’ve ever seen. Not to mention that engagement photo....

WOW! After seven years of dating!

I wonder if they are going to wait until their wedding night to consummate their relationship.

Does Mia's boyfriend know?

FWIW he mentioned a girlfriend on Kelly Ripa's the other day.

And I thought, GIRLfriend? Please!

One has to laugh really at the shock and disbelief of those people who feel compelled to believe that all celebrities are gay at finding out that an actor is actually (horrors!) straight. Especially when their suppositions are based on such solid evidence as “he pings”. Honestly, these are the kind of people that take blind items seriously.

R22 guys who get fucked by women with a strap on are still having (somewhat kinky) sex with a woman. as in female. it is still heterosexual.

congratulations to criss, i guess. whatever this means.

I totally agree R33!

Sometimes our beards end up marrying us!!

Congrats, Darren!!!

He loves him some pussy!

[quote]Does Mia's boyfriend know?

More importantly -- does DARREN'S boyfriend know?

Are they gonna stay engaged until Criss takes his next gay role? Then he could get married to distract from that gay role.

Then they can have fraternal twins that were totally made by PIV sex when he takes a gay role after that.

He's a major pussyhound. He's the best lover I ever had. He knows how to work a womans body right.

As strange as it may seem, playing gay roles doesn't mean an actor is gay. He's straight, girls. Deal with it.

Reading R39 makes you wonder if Darren will owe his whole career to playing gay.

Yeah!!!!

What R41 said!!!!

Don't believe the "he takes gay roles, so he MUST be gay" thing!!!!

Well really, it's so bizarre to think that someone must be gay to play gay roles. He's an actor, after all. That's what they do.

after 7 years together....they're engaged?

This is pure attention b.s.

If they really wanted to be married....the would be.

He wants to be a movie star...so he has to get married.

I have a feeling they will call off engagement in 6 to 9 months. He will then date a starlet.

Unless she's already pregnant.

I've always gotten a str8 in public, gay in private vibe.

We don’t think he’s gay just because he takes gay roles, R44. There’s more to it than that.

Yeah, what? He "pings"? Blind items?

R46 So where’s the proof that he’s gay? Oh thats right, you don’t have any.

Where’s the proof that he’s straight?

Well, first of all most men are. Second, getting engaged to a woman is usually decent proof of being straight. Lacking evidence to the contrary, it seems to add up to "he's straight". Sorry to burst your giddy fan magazine illusions.

R50, based on my extensive research at strip clubs, most men are sexually fluid.

Criss is a well-known pussyhound. Some people here are in deep denial.

Marrying your beard is less than civilized.

Well you need to alert Mia asap R52.

I'm sure she'll be interested in what he's been up to during the 7+ years they've been dating.

R51 just because you sleep with men frequently or occasionally doesn't make you gay. It's who you feel emotional love for that dictates your orientation. Gay 4 pay is a valid thing and these are straight hence they marry women.

DL gets it wrong because Criss is so extra. I knew this bitch would be getting hitched when he got a meaty role with award potential. Gay or straight or Martian don't matter to him. Murphy couldn't clinch the award purchase during Glee, so why waste a good wedding on a non campaign role.

If he minded gay rumors or wanted to hide actual gayness for career, he'd have gotten hitched as Glee was winding down, and definitely when he got Hedwig.

The BIs tried hard over the years but couldnt come up with any rumored boyfriend - unless you count sucking up to and sucking off his industry benefactors into that category.

I’m sorry, but no textbook heterosexual man is going to fuck or get fucked by another man, nor will he engage in sucking dick or having his ass pegged by a woman. If any man engages in these things, he’s either gay or bi.

Could it be that porn gifs or routine DL speculations about dick-sucking for roles aren't the bona fides R57 takes them for. Just a thought.

Gay guys in and out of show business have been doing this forever.

Maybe Criss is gay or bi or straight?

I'm not attracted to him; I more prefer Hugh Jackman!

Good luck to Chris; good luck to all of us.

Mia, gurrl, get out your ouija board.

We need to have a chat about physical conjunctions.

i don't know if he's gay or not (and i don't care, i find him unbearable ) but he couldn't have posted a gayer picture even if he tried. Maybe this is a very subtle parody of Hollywood closet by him?

Now i understand what lesbians felt when Jessica Chastain got married 😔

Nah R61, he likes the quirky millennial "not your typical celeb" image and if that means posing like a 10 yo girl and borrowing from Star Trek, you betcha he's going for it.

[quote]He was seen showing off his fiancee's engagement ring to former Glee cast mate Lea Michele at the Versace premiere last week, a source tells ET. The couple has been engaged for a while but they wanted to keep it under wraps until the main promotional efforts for the show had run its course, the source added.

Criss ended the Instagram announcement with emojis of a rocket ship, an engagement ring and Mr. Spock's classic, split-finger hand gesture: 🚀💍🖖.

He eats her pussy every night! Lucky.

God bless the sanctity of heterosexual marriage. Liza would be very proud.

Haaaaaaaa, sure jan.

All I know is Joe magn. You know the muscle guy was interviewing regular people on the street Darren had no reason to be there but he was flirting with Joe big time. ‘ you are a really good actor ‘.

Aaron Rogers is like "Can you believe people are buying this shit?"

I am looking at the picture in R64, and I see girly man and manly woman. This one could last.

He's a tiny half-asian. Of course he's girly and pings.

And then she eats his ass R65. Lucky!

Was it the Grease Live television production where he flamed out for three hours straight... I mean consecutively?

If you mean he was overcaffeinatedly annoying while "hosting" during the breaks, then yeah.

[quote]All I know is Joe magn. You know the muscle guy was interviewing regular people on the street Darren had no reason to be there but he was flirting with Joe big time. ‘ you are a really good actor ‘.

That was during the Tony awards where Criss hosted the red carpet. He then reappeared front row and hd a "bantering" segment with Manganiello which came out as passive aggressive penis envy.

[quote]During the awards ceremony, presenter Joe Manganiello asked two actors in the audience to name high school teachers who inspired them. When he approached Darren Criss, who was starring in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway, Criss replied. "I've seen Magic Mike, so I've learned a lot from you, buddy, but I would have to say Peter Devine at St. Ignatius College Prep in San Francisco."

This has to be the only place in the world where, when a man marries a woman, people assume he is gay.

We assumed he was gay after his first television interview. Nothing has convinced us otherwise since.

How we treasure our illusions.

....

At The Tony’s it wasn’t front row. It looked like outside with a group of people behind the rope.

R78, a blind item? Seriously? Yeah, that's reeeeaaaaalllll good evidence.

It's better evidence than his engagement announcement.

Talk about sending mixed-messages.

You do realize blind items are made up, right? God kill me immediately if I ever start taking them seriously.

Considering this first appeared verbatim on the social media of Criss fangurls who couldn't stand the sight of her and convinced themselves he MUST be in a deep closet because who would date her and not them (!!), and that was a good two years or so before that particular BI --- and considering that a lot of the Glee BI's were culled from the internet including fangurl social media --- I wouldn't be so sure R78.

BG BIs also claimed that Lea Michelle was conspiring to sack him from Glee during the last year or so, when everyone knew she and he were Ryan's pets, and she was knee deep in the Naya Rivera PR crisis to be plotting something so stupid and dead on arrival as getting Criss fired.

R79 Criss also interviewed him on the red carpet. Standing on his toes to look less midgety next to JM. Like I said, penis envy.

How many straight actors do you know who chose three gay roles in a row? Rhetorical question. You don't need to answer. How many gay actors have played three gay characters in a row? So I'm to believe Criss and his management are willfully pigeon-holing him as an actor of gay roles, when he is actually straight. The mind boggles.

He loves talk about kissing guys... anyway, good luck Darren ❤

Because no gay man has ever actually married a woman.

So anyone marrying a woman is therefore gay? A+ logic.

Of course they have. But any artist knows how to create a willing suspension of disbelief. Michael Jackson was more believable as a gangbanger in the "Bad" video.

We need a sexual assault accusation from Lea Michele, a rom-com where he's assumed to be gay by Matt Bomer but he actually marries Bomer's character's sister. Give us something. A seven year girlfriend isn't going to cut it. That's just lazy.

He must have the worst management representation ever.

Dear lord in heaven!!

R86 you are assuming Criss is in a position professionally-speaking to choose whatever roles he wants to play. That is not the case in real life, people unfortunately get pigeonholed into certain roles, that's what has happened to Darren.

is she trans?

This is some of the stupidest shit I've read R90. He should take a straight role just to convince you he's not gay? You watch him now and obsess over him, gotcha. His representation has done its job ie getting eyeballs on him, cash in his pocket and now award campaign. When you can offer that, then actors will listen to you.

Lmao I didn't know he wasn't out..... Does he think he's fooling anyone??? 50 bucks says that they'll be engaged for a few years, then break up due to "personality differences"

He always seemed much more likely to go on a cross-country killing spree.

I’m going to do EVERYONE a favor and send Darren Cris and autographed copy of the dvd of Grace and Frankie so he can see what a mess he’s making of his life.

During Glee, gay became "in". So much so that Colton Haynes came out and turned his instagram into a non stop glitter queen fest.

Not for a minute do I think that the attention whore that he is, miss Criss wouldn't have hogged the spotlight by staging the coming out to end all coming outs -- if he indeed was gay.

It's pretty simple. This is a millennial hipster from the first Facebook and selfie generation. He's also a rich kid from San Francisco, not some redneck country.

Actual count of roles he's done: 5 straight roles vs 2 gay and whatever Hedwig is. So much for the "only gay roles'. Perception because the gay roles are the buzzy ones, and he doesn't mind in the le

Here's the rundown. Straight love interest on a network show. Then got gay Blaine after going for two other Glee roles (straight jocks). While on Glee, got a straight hipster role in a flop movie with Kirsten Wiig, and Finch in How to Succeed. After Glee did a quick straight romcom that has been gathering dust on some studio shelf, then Hedwig. Then got a producing deal for a Fox pilot about songwriters (still tbd). Then did an episodic on AHS Hotel as an annoying straight hipster. Then Versace. Murphy said he postponed some role for ACS which may be a Broadway play he was mentioned for, about gamers.

I'll also take R95's bet and say he's gonna say I do by the end of the year.

He's definitely on the spectrum.

Addendum: the wedding will be either around Prince Harry's or, more probably, around Emmy time.

Jelly, bitches?

I'll soon become engaged too. My publicist is just narrowing down who she is.

For a FACT he doesn't mind having sex with men, but doesn't let anyone play around his back porch. Yes, I know.

i wish him all the best with his career...his awards campaign and whatever is next... A cameo on Will and Grace as one of Jack's tricks? I wish him the best in his marriage. She looks like she's more woman than he will ever need and more man than he will ever be. And may happiness find him even if with his beard he doesn't look like his passport.

R103 we know he's not above sucking a dick or two for roles.

this is just sad.

I'm waiting for my engagement presents, bitches!

Let me guess. She and her party will be dressed in a simple, matronly black dresses and he will be wearing white tails, top-hat and cane with raspberry details that match the groomsmen's raspberry tuxes.

Champagne for your sham marriage?

If you think so little of him why do you want him to be gay?

Bitches, at my Guns n' Roses tribute band gig last night!

You jelly?

I don't want him to be anything. The image that he and his management have cultivated was so very Neil Patrick Harris mini-me that I'mshocked to find out otherwise and more than a little skeptical.

Bitches, we're opening a bar in LA! It's gonna be Hollywood glam! Come on over, drinks on me!

Bitches, mah man at my gig last night!

He and his buddies were the support band!

Wish you were there to feel the love!

This will end in tears

Before all this excitement, seasoned thespian D. Criss breezed into Andy Cohen's radio show to share the following words of wisdom for his less #blessed brethren.

Q: How did you keep your shit together and not become a disaster [after finding fame on Glee]?

A: “Who says I did!?…I don’t know, I lucked out in every sense of the word. I had a pretty normal life…like I said I was in college when [Glee] was famous, like I remember reading about it, going like ‘wow this thing is really blowing up, what’s the big deal here.’ And most of my friends, and the people that I was close with, and the people that I grew with as a young person, were people from my high school, from my college, from being an unemployed actor in Los Angeles. So seeing both sides of the coin, albeit short, I was fortunate that it wasn’t a huge period of time, but it was enough time to sort of…I don’t know, those were the people in my life. As opposed to a lot of the folks who started their careers and moved to Los Angeles for Glee, that’s like a really tough way to start your life as a young person. I mean they’re fine, there’s no right or wrong way to grow up, so I’m not lording my experience over that, but that was something that I did sort of cherish. That at the end of the day I had my friends from like, real life.”

Wow he is humble and intelligent? What a disgrace. Watch maybe you learn something.

Humble?

Gurl!

[quote]we know he's not above sucking a dick or two for roles.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

lol this bitch is throwing fists into adam shankman in front of groups in weho parties and fraus are still posting that hes straight?!

Riiggghhhhtttt

.......

I if by penis envy you mean Darren want’s joe’s dick up his ass. Yep penis envy.

Speaking of

Does he hate her? If he doesn’t, he should tell her that being photographed in profile isn’t doing her any favors.

The closet kills.

Look at me being suffocated in the closet! Forced to pretend-cheer for my beard!

Not!

Peace, dudes.

I was talking to a friend about this and he said "I can't wait for all the stories to come out about Darren's hookups". The thing is, wouldn't we have heard something by now? I feel like with the fact that he's been on Broadway and in movies/tv with no stories and also known to hang out it gay bars, with no one mentioning any hookups means that maybe they don't exist.

Damn, her head looks so much larger than his.

This Mia must be the world's most delusional woman or the world's best fag hag.

Someone buy Mia a gaydar pronto!

Oh, GOD. Now there's going to be 8 million different threads--each with about 40 replies--about this shit.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

In total agreement with R33. Just because you're theatrical doesn't make you gay, just like being a Neanderthal make you completely straight. See football player Aaron Rodriguez.

Idiots.

R129 this Mia is a successful writer, producer and musician. Learn bitches learn

Congratulations!

................MIA SWIER......................................

Blah-blah. She is the one engaged to a gay guy.

R136 Exactly, every wannabe in HW has a resume full of self-important shit like that.

That remains me. We haven’t discussed North Morgan for a while. Any Earth shattering achievements recently?

The same facial expression.

R16 Darren is into puss-he.

R32 When Kelly asked if he went to Marie's Crisis, New York's oldest and gayest piano bar, he said "I attend that institution."

R127 we never heard about Ricky Martin's possible hookups until he came out on his own. Then that floodgate opened and there were a handful guys coming forward or others saying they swore he dated this guy.

It's what paying people and PR is for.

Girl, we HAVE been hearing about Darren’s hookups. For years. The gay rumors didn’t just spring, wholly formed, from Datalounge’s naval one afternoon.

R142, on the other hand we heard about possible hookups of Wentworth Miller and Zach Quinto before he came out.

Ricky Martin is from the pre-social media generation, I won't go into the cultural and industry differences about him as a (Latin) pop star.

Basically, you can't generalize only from one person's circumstances and experience.

[quote]Girl, we HAVE been hearing about Darren’s hookups. For years. The gay rumors didn’t just spring, wholly formed, from Datalounge’s naval one afternoon.

GURL, we're not talking about the casting couch rumors. We're talking about personal hookups, before and after he became famous. So let's hear some names if you have them.

He became famous with a gay role on the gayest show of the time made by a famous gay producer. OF COURSE DL immediately said he's gay. Has anyone come up with names and receipts about his personal hookups, not career enhancing ones?

^^ Wentworth Miller and Zach Quinto before THEY came out.

Say what?

[quote]we never heard about Ricky Martin's possible hookups until he came out on his own.

We knew about definite hookups of Colton Haynes years before he came out.

Your point?

Hiring a beard before Glee? This guy is a genius!

Ant pictures of them actually being heterosexual together?

No to sex tapes R149. Yes to the usual.

My sister and I have years of pictures like those also. Criss's management is failing big time with this.

Here you go, r149:

Dancing at his brother's wedding.

dancing cheek to cheek, la la

Rocking out

That's pathetic. Now I'm convinced she's a beard.

Love them some halloween fun

That's a talented actor. He can even make Hef look gay.

moar kissing

moar

Vacations in Italy

With enough practice, Criss's PR rep will have this down by the time the engagement is over. Shouldn't take 12 tries to produce a hetero pic of a hetero.

in Napa

[italic]This[/italic] is how you put an end to the questions.

unemployed actor clearly training his beard years in advance

ski bunnies

No one is doubting they've been "girlfriends" for years. It's the physical intimacy that people are skeptical of. "He doth protest too much, methinks"

training for the babies

Coachella with the bros

R168, "people" haven't put hidden cameras in their bedroom, have they

Dumb is dumb.

Nothing says I'm straight like a slideshow of vacation selfies.

The absence of vacation selfies is the surefire proof of straightness.

Especially when talking about the selfie generation.

DUH!

We have a fam pad in Palm Beach.

Jelly, bitches?

Palm Beach labor day coming right up!

Mem'ries when we were young and umeployed and dreaming of the big time

In your DL bitches speak, when we were plotting our beardom

Flower power, bitches!

if he's straight, good for him. But that is not the brand he's been selling for the last five years.

That's not even the brand they're selling in their engagement pic.

We got those Thanksgivings with the fam down!

P.S> Were thankful for all the attention, bitches! No attention, no money.

Seems prophetic. Sorry, Darren going to be focused on real homos instead of you and Nick Jonas in the future. Enjoy being a breeder.

Such clever timing. Get engaged to a girl when you’re doing a potentially breakthrough role playing a gay man. Too bad all the reviews find him unconvincing and amateurish.

Thanks for the parody post, R182.

I'll be sure to send you a piece of the wedding cake.

Who cares about his acting as long as he has juicy ass.

Look whose picture sits on mah man's piano!

Bonus Miss Lea rehearsing duets with the only Broadway stah in da house!

Looks like a lovely place to have babies and be an alcoholic in.

Nice house. Do you have more pictures? I like the decor.

she looks like a man

[quote]she looks like a man

Like, it's a problem?

Bitches, throwing you a bone!

Mah man with the gays of the touring American In Paris and their hags, in our jacuzzi.

We threw them a sendoff party and I took pictures!

A gal has to have a kompromat stash, if you know what prenup I mean.

Thanks for the thumbs up, R187. Maybe I'll find more pictures of the decor.

For now, enjoy the realtor staging in mah man's ex-bachelor-turned-heterocouple pad.

Not sure we're keeping it when the babies come so enjoy while it lasts!

Ta!

Who are the pathetic fraus that desperately want him to be straight? He loooooooooves bicg thick veiny cock. Keep deleting your cookies troll. We see your loser self.

I love you all!!!

R192, pretty sure it's me!

Bitches, I'm not to blame that mah man is famous!

And random cray Glee fans take surreptitious pictures of us in restaurants and lineups! And then they tweet them to us!

We know it's the price of fame!

Yep, bitches, they find him even at my so-called gigs, where I excel at bass. And wearing provocative outfits.

Which he likes to watch me wear and take home videos on his iPhone.

Surprise!

Memory Lane again, bitches!

Hanging with mama Criss in the distant summer of 2010.

Who knew it'll take me seven years to clinch the deal!

Sorry bitches, I got misty eyed. It's been seven years!

Is she MTF? Does she still has the dong?

Bitches, as you know guys taking vacay pics are all gay. No other options allowed.

But I'm kinda fond of this one. Ah, when we were young and free-roaming as a flock of seaguls!

I'm sure they'll go on skiing trips with the Harry Windsors. The girls will sit around the ski lodge and gossip while Har and Dar go up to the private hunting lodge for a bit of male bonding.

Love you all!!!

To all the Glee bitches who spied on us and took candids and posted them on their tumblrs, Ta!

They come in handy.

Uh, r55, riiiiiight.

R187, you're in luck!

R202 's video was shot in mah man's home. A bit of house decor for ya.

"Gay for pay" pretty much sums up Criss's career. Best of luck on your future endeavors, Darren. I hear Nick Jonas is looking for someone to play opposite him in the sequel to Brokeback Moutain, Brokerback Mountain.

Two! Two! Two beards in one!

R202 song is breathtaking and pretty real as opposed to the stuff that British ginger makes — can't remember his name.

They're glowing here

And here

R208, that fug British ginger also announced an engagement. To an accountant.

TMZ made it sound almost like he and Criss are engaged to each other.

Look, I'm not one of those "every cute guy HAS to be gay". But look at this 18 second clip of when asked about being straight.

You are going to tell me this boy likes vajayjay?

R202's song is actually pretty good. He looks better in glasses, too.

[quote]Engaged right in the middle of all the press while playing a gay guy.

Uh ... when has he ever NOT played gay? Glee, Hedwig, Cunanan.

He started acting when he was ten and he played gay three times.

...and hosted Grease live and did color commentary for the Tony's. Get back to me when he has sexual assault charges from a woman and stars in the Magnificent 7 sequel.

[quote]He started acting when he was ten.

Even Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Neill Patrick Harris and Matt Bomer give the "I'm gay" routine a rest moor often than Criss.

She looks like a man.

You know what? You haters really get my goat! Remember when you were insisting that Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert were homosexuals?

What you’re loathe to admit is that Clay has fathered a beautiful son with his lovely Christian wife and Adam is now fronting a hyper-masculine heavy metal band (I certainly don’t approve of that, but facts are facts). How does that crow taste now, haters?

Mia is a sweet, delicate girl and Darren is all man, and I can’t wait to see their babies!! I just know they’re going to produce a honeymoon baby because, well, not to be too graphic, but just picture a red-blooded man like Darren having to wait for seven years. Eeek!

Mia has such a handsome profile because she’s been training that nose on the lid of every toilet tank in LA for years 😉

R145 Fag Hag becoming GF/beard/fiancee/wife is a story as old as the Closet. He's going the Hugh Jackman route.

Why would he need to do that? Look at Zach, he's out and still working

Zach Galifinakis produces most of his own stuff, I don't think Criss is much of a behind the scenes guy.

He can't even let his fiancé have the spotlight in his engagement pic. I'm very excited for the wedding.

Isn't Mia Swier supposed to be MTF?

[quote]I don't think Criss is much of a behind the scenes guy.

He was announced to be producing a TV comedy about songwriters for Fox. He releases music and does some annual music fest in NY. He's set to return to Broadway.

The only thing that would require closeting is actually action movies. Superhero stuff. None of that looks like he's a candidate for.

He could be Throbbin' in the Batman movie.

R212, people forget that he's half Asian. A lot of his fey mannerisms are common for Filipinos. And he's a theater kid from San Francisco.

But mainly the Asian genes.

R229 And Asians tend to get married even if they have homosexual tendencies.

R230, that phenomenon staddles all races so it doesn't tell us anything about half-Filipinos in particular.

But what I said has been noted by many people. You can take it or leave it.

I always thought the rumors were bullshit. But announcing your engagement the same week as your biggest acting right to date hits tv....G-A-Y

Ugh, how annoying!

Let’s face it, Darren Criss is pulling a Kirstin Stewart.

[quote]I always thought the rumors were bullshit. But announcing your engagement the same week as your biggest acting right to date hits tv....G-A-Y

Nope, he got engaged in December in Japan, so he'd have announced during the ACS promo appearances for maximum impact. He talked about his straightness anyway.

Or earlier during Hedwig.

One of his fangurls is going to stalk the fiance and beat her up.

A handsome actor engaged to a very average woman usually means he’s gay.

I see Scientology in his future.

He is not handsome!! He has a big honking nose and, when left natural, ugly hair.

R239 He photographs well... with the right lighting and posing. His candids are usually underwhelming to blah.

She’s anything but average, r237.

So he's been with his gf for 7.5 years, is not a household name so people/media aren't really invested in his personal life, yet he feels the need to publicly announce his engagement right as his buzzy performance has just started airing? The show is only 9 episodes, so unless he's getting married within the next few months, I don't see why he couldn't wait to announce until after the show aired. Not to mention, the lead up to this announcement was him going on a "no homo" promotional tour and a bunch of articles going on about her long (and mostly fabricated) resume. Gee, this doesn't sound at all like an quid pro quo arrangement where Darren "proves" his straightness while the girlfriend gets her name out in the industry.

I agree with everything you wrote with one exception: her family owns the Bowery Ballroom, Mercury Lounge, Teragram Ballroom and Moroccan Lounge; they’ve also just finalized a major booking-and-promo deal with Live Nation, and they have a few other big things coming up.

She’s already awash in more nepotism than she knows what to do with. All he can do for her is raise her profile with a bunch of middle-aged women who want to feed him soup and cuddle in front of a roaring fire.

This whole situation has the stench of a flaming theater boy taking a fat theater girl to the prom and trying not to burst out laughing when his dad winks and slips a condom into his tux pocket on the way out the door.

Maybe he's bisexual.

[quote]yet he feels the need to publicly announce his engagement right as his buzzy performance has just started airing?

So why didn't he waited until after the Versace promo rounds?

And it was an instagram post, what a surprise for a millennial. Sure he's milking attention out of it but that's what he does with everything.

R81, the only thing for which blind items provide consistently strong evidence is peoples' boundless gullibility.

[quote]why didn't he waited until after the Versace promo rounds?

edit: Why *did* he wait until after his promo rounds if his promo tour was about "no homo"

[quote]I don't see why he couldn't wait to announce until after the show aired.

Then you'll bitch he wants to keep the buzz from the show going.

He finished the promo tour on Wednesday (the day of the premiere). He did not talk about his sexual orientation or his girlfriend. He can not win with you whatever he say.

Did her prince fall into a coma?

I like him. He does not take himself too seriously and is open minded.

Is he marrying her because she comes from a nice (rich) family? Just asking

Yeah let me find out that DC is a little gold digging hoe!

R251, they're equally rich. He went to private schools. His father is an investment banker and has sat on orchestra boards and such in San Francisco.

That's nothing compared to what Darren has sat on!

Should we know the initials of R.M.?

We used to have our own set of larries in the glee fandom. I see some of them here.

I saw Darren Criss on the Talk today talking about his engagement; he said he was ready for the next chapter; he came off like Cunanan a little bit and they showed the photo of him with his leg in the air with his fiance.

Maybe he is straight; I maintain there are masculine gay guys. But he seems super gay to me.

yes to A GOD DAMN TRANNY......

i love how mr criss inspires so much luv and

hate.

By the same token, there are effeminate straights.

[quote]he came off like Cunanan a little bit

Criss like Cunanan is what the kids call 'extra'

R259, yes, but DC makes Lyle the Effeminate Heterosexual seem butch.

He's a millennial half-Asian from SF. Of course he'll read gay, whatever he is.

She looks like a guy in drag

I recall an article or DL thread in the last year or so of Glee where he confirmed (or it was called out as fact) he was dating a trans.

i swear his wife to be is a tran. or near to one...

[quote]I recall an article or DL thread in the last year or so of Glee where he confirmed (or it was called out as fact) he was dating a trans.

No such thing happened.

His fiancee has similar facial features to Tricia Helfer. She should learn from her and start posing en face.

I don't know why DL loses their collective shit about this mess. He's half Southeast Asian...from the waist down.

She's more masculine than he is.

He doesn't seem to have a problem with that, R269. Maybe he quite likes it.

What a novel idea it must be for the denizens of this thread that not all straight women are pretty princesses / damsels in distress, and not all straight men are the Marlboro Man.

In my limited experience and exposure to both his performances and his interviews, he strikes me as a media hound that is very full of himself. He is not unattractive, but I have never found short men to be "hunks" as he is often described. I did watch the Versace thing, two episodes and noticed he really can't act. I find it amazing that some very talented gay actors that could really have done something with that role were overlooked. Several come immediately to mind and probably to most people. In short, I suppose I am wondering, why do we as gay people care about any of it. Let him slip into the abyss like so many before him.

R271 You say potato. I've always thought his acting was perfectly fine for the roles he's played. He's chilling in Versace.

Which means it was total bs. Are you new to this place??

........

Many gay men marry straight women for companionship...not saying he's gay..wink wink nudge nudge..just a general comment

Now no longer has issue getting naked on screen.

I doubt he ever had an issue. Just wasnt ever given the chance till Ryan Murphy cast him in one of his more adult shows.

Darren Criss has really been showing up to every red carpet and doing everything he can. He wants that emmy.

If he has any shot at being nominated or winning he has to appear at everything as a relative newcomer to awards shows.

Shhh. Listen. Hear that? It's the sound of no one caring, Darren.

He does do a lot of random red carpets, though the last several have been to promote both the show Versace and getting himself out as an awards contender.

Mazel Mazel Mr. & Mrs. Criss! I still think he's handsome and beguiling even IF he is straight.

it will all end in tears

He is one of the gayest straight guys I've ever seen!

[quote]He is one of the gayest straight guys I've ever seen!

It's rather funny that between Blaine, Hedwig and Cunanan he is only known for queer roles. Honestly I hope the streak continues, he might as well see how long he can keep being unofficially gay.

He'll probably intentionally look for a straight role now after sooo many gay ones.

Who will have the bigger veil?

The guy with his hands on Darren's shoulders in 190's pic was his college "roommate". I think they had quite a reunion that night.

There was a blind item last year that hinted that Mia was transgender...

It's OK. He can still suck cock on the side...

He has always pinged so hard for me, but I've never heard a single story about him from friends in the entertainment industry in LA or Broadway in NYC. So either he has his shit locked down, or he's a queer baiting straight dude.

We really just want to see his ass.

Shaves off the beard.

No, what we really want is for him to turn around in r293.

[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.]

Still can't believe we live in a world where this bitch has a big acting award. Almost as surreal as the 2016 election for me.

Wow, that was a long engagement. Maybe they wanted to wait until after his awards? What’s he doing next?

R298 it seems he is doing a Ryan Murphy show on Netflix but it hasnt been confirmed.

WTF is she wearing?

By she, I mean Mia.

Why all yall think he is gay? He plays gay well and I would think he would be out if he were, no?

R301: Yes, because all gay actors are openly gay in HW and nobody does fake relationships anymore, sure

Right. This setup isn't fishy at all...

[quote] Everyone here who claims to have met him says he’s a dumb straight bro in real life

This queen couldn't PLAY a dum straight bro, let alone be one in real life.

I've never seen this thread before for some reason.

It's.... surprising to say the least. I thought he was gay.
