...and the prize for dunce reporter goes to...
London Lite's gossip page. (it's a free evening tabloid, flatmate left it on kitchen table)
I flicked to the gossip section to see if there was anything mildly amusing.
And between the pic of Renee Zellweger looking fab on Letterman, and a 'look how much weight michael winner has lost' picspam, there was a 'so-and-so has been seen out with so-and-so, new couple?' bit.
Only. Um. It was Lisa Snowdon and David Walliams. With the title of 'intentions of becoming new George Clooney?'. Well, yes, if you mean fabulous gay man who doesn't bother to talk about his sexuality to the press...
Seriously. I thought *everyone* knew David Walliams was gay. He just doesn't talk about it in interviews. Christ, I knew David Walliams was gay before I knew Matt Lucas, his Little Britain co-conspirator, was. And Matt Lucas married his boyfriend this week.
:headdesk: This is almost as bad as that 1996 interview someone linked me to from a Washington paper, where they were describing John Barrowman as a bachelor and asking him about girlfriends. *Agressively* asking him about girlfriends and his personal life (most of which he clearly ignored), and John'd been with Scott, what, five years at that point? I didn't even know that John knew where the damn closet was.

You can count my mum in there and she's pop culturally illiterate.

Really? Seems to me he can't shut up about it. 'I'm not gay', I'm a bit gay', 'I love women', 'women think I'm gay', 'everyone thinks I'm gay', 'I wish I was gay but I'm not', etc etc etc.
Last time I saw him on telly he was holding hands with Russell Brand, while Matt Lucas proclaimed them 'the two gayest straight men I've ever met' and they went on to discuss what a great way it is to pick up women.
In a way, one can hardly blame the media for playing up to his deliberate attempts to confuse and obfuscate.
Not to say I don't adore dear Mr Walliams. Or, indeed, that the press aren't the scum of the earth; we can't move for the buggers round my way at the moment. The novelty is wearing off.
