Record set straight

By LIZ BRAUN, Sun Media

BLATHER: 1) “I’d be happy to go and deny being gay, because I’m not. But by denying it, I’m saying there is something shameful about it, and there isn’t anything shameful. The questions about sexuality I find more in America than anywhere else, because it’s a big hang- up and defines what people think about themselves and others. It’s not a big issue in Australia.”

Hugh Jackman tells Parade magazine that he’s often asked if he’s gay by American reporters. There is no connection to that other item about Carrie Prejean.

2) “Madonna fell off a horse? She should stay off of those horses. This isn’t the Wild West.”

Billy Joel, amazed to learn that there are things other than the wagon you can fall off, reacts to the riveting bulletin that Madonna fell off her horse.

3) “I did some vomiting in one of the Scary Movies. I’m experienced at it. I’ve done a little in real life as well.”

Anna Faris tells The Guardian of her barfing motivation in the film Observe and Report. This is why everyone loves Anna Faris, boys and girls.

4) “He’s rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

Noel Gallagher tells Q magazine he’s so deeply annoyed with his brother Liam Gallagher that he’d spontaneously quote the lyrics (“A man with a fork in a world of soup,”) of a Caesars’ song.

DRIVEL: 1) “Pop music is very similar to classical music. If you listen to Bach you’ll hear all his tunes go the same way as a pop record. It helped me to become a good songwriter.”

Lady Gaga pretends to be Bono.

2) “Amy is seriously thinking about adopting, but she is aware it’s going to be incredibly difficult with her background.”

A wisely unnamed source tells the Daily Mail that Amy Winehouse is thinking about adopting a child in St. Lucia. Angelina Jolie has a lot to answer for, no?

3) “I will literally try anything once, absolutely. In Mexico I had crickets — it’s a popular dish over there, it’s a delicacy. I also had larvae, like flies, in Mexico. It was really good with lemon and salt. It tasted like pasta.”

Zac Efron tells the UK Star he’s not just another pretty face. Efron confessed he once scarfed live octopus on a bet, while his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, claims to have eaten fruit bat. Just think what you write in this blank space right here if the world had no lawyers.

4) “There is a girl in London who I am looking forward to seeing but haven’t met yet, and she is really hot ... I met her on the Internet.”

Tommy Lee (in the UK Daily Star) continues to use his celebrity to set a good example for younger fans. What a tool.
