What's Up With Jeremy Renner's Sexuality?

You'll never guess who I saw on my latest outing.

This should top Danni's performance last year, when she shot rubber eggs out of her butt as the crowd got the yolk. On the phone last week, Danni told me that while she may not have her own eggs, she did recently have breast augmentation, while decidedly keeping her penis. "I live as a transsexual," Danni said. "I like to say 'transsexual' more than 'woman.' I'm very comfortable being in the middle."

With schlong in tow, Danni stars as an s/m top in various trannie porn films, a way bigger niche market than my vanilla mind ever imagined. "This year," Danni informed me, "transsexual porn has outsold lesbian porn three to one. Ninety percent of it is dominant transsexuals that fuck a big straight guy. The audience is straight married men and women as well."

But wait—how straight are these people? As Danni wryly replied, "When they're getting a close-to-nine-inch cock up their ass, you have to wonder. But I'm the very last person to be labeling people, let alone gender and sexual orientation!"

Meanwhile, I've been popping extra bon mots out of my butt at anyone who'll read them on Twitter, which is supposed to be about both sending messages to your followers and receiving them from folks that you follow. But I've noticed that some celebs are way more interested in getting out their ideas than fielding others'. For example, while Paris Hilton has 1,609,837 followers (and tweets to them all day about adopting animals and loving Zoolander), she's only following 262! That ratio ain't right!

Even more distinctively, Rufus Wainwright is followed by 19,334 people and he's following zero! Zilch! Not even Paris Hilton! I've always loved his individualistic resolve.

By the way, if you want to be my Facebook friend, you have to either comment "I love your work" or look incredibly cute and/or creative. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.

A new friend—in real life—is Cuban singer Margarita Pracatan, who served me paella and personality in her Upper West Side apartment last week. Margarita's malapropisms are delightful (She says "Juilliard" when she means Club Juliet, and "Larry Delafonte" for the singer of "Day-O") and so are her personal pronouncements. "I haven't had anyone downtown in 25 years," Margarita exclaimed, referring to her private area. "I had a boyfriend, but he died, thank God."

Jeremy Renner, what's your excuse?

    Perdón, pero si no saben por qué Jeremy Renner fue a los Oscar con su madre, no hablen. Él lo dijo en una entrevista para no lo vuelvan a molestar más con este tema. Jeremy es un hombre con letras mayúsculas por no hablar de las mujeres que están con él. Eso ya lo pone en un pedestal de los caballeros y hombres de honor. Felicidades Jeremy. Eres el mejor. Sorry, but if you do not know why Jeremy Renner went to the Oscars with his mother, do not talk. He said in an interview to no longer bother you more with this topic. Jeremy is a man with capital letters talk about the women he is. That already puts him on the pedestal of the knights and men of honor. Congratulations Jeremy. You're the best

    i dont think hes gay. he was in a relationship for some time with jes macallan.

    If he's gay, then nothing wrong with that. Who cares unless you want to date the guy, but then the real question would be why would he want to date you? He's an awesome actor, that's all that matters.

  • Saralee 04/15/2010 6:53:00 PM

    Who cares if he's gay.? He's freakin sexy.!

  • hotspot 03/23/2010 5:22:00 AM

    Am I the only one dying to know which CSI actor was the one trying to pick up that twink?! I hope it was george eads...probabaly not, but he's so gorgeus and I'm a twink.... Anyway.. If renner is gay or not, it shouldn't matter, but gay actors have a hard time getting jobs except for john barrowman, neil patrick harris and sean hayes. They are way too famous not to get a job. So it's understandable if he's hiding it. If he is gay, and if he wants to come out to the public then he'll come out if and when he's ready.

    As a minority within a minority (and god know how many others) I have never been able to understand the need to seek validation and pride from others who share some aspect of my life: "Wow, so and so is gay and he's a good guy so by extension I must be good as well" What about the opposite? If groups can take collective pride then they should take collective guilt.

  • billyjoe 03/18/2010 9:32:00 PM

    Mark my word: There will be a S&M gay porno produced whose title riffs on that of "The Hurt Locker."

  • Athol - Australia 03/18/2010 6:07:00 PM

    Guys get over it - I'm assuming that most of the respondents here are gay as am I. Do we - in a moment of desperation, need to seek to validate our own lives by incorporating every actor who displays -non hetro attributes e.g. lives with mother - into being a definite gay - methinks not - let us all get on with our own gay productive rewarding lives without freaking out about those who may be part of us but not ready to announce it!

    Okay, if taking your mother to an awards show, working in makeup and having a same sex co-investor is indicative of a man being a homosexual then there's a lot of closeted homosexuals out there. Get the facts before spreading these falsities. The "source" also claimed she was an acting coach of his, Jeremy's, and she never was. He's been working with his co-investor for 10 years flipping houses profitably. The man isn't gay. But it wouldn't matter either way.

  • CMG 03/18/2010 12:17:00 AM

    I do see the resemblance. The facial structure most certainly. Plus he played Jeffrey Dahmer in a very sexual performance that got him his first recognition. Not that his sexuality would derail my fantasies of him but he is definitely sending mixed messages but there were also a lot of photos with him at the Oscar after-party getting cozy with Carrie Mulligan. I also saw another 'quote from his past' that said the opposite about his sexuality. Who knows, he's act and he can act.

  • Richard 03/17/2010 10:38:00 PM

    NEXT FALL? Really??? This column regularly has more depth and insight. If it were the first play ever written with gay characters, then maybe. But it's been done. And better everywhere. Which one of the cliche characters were you rooting for exactly? Did you have any doubt that fundamental Christianity and homosexuality were at odds? Who is the last 30 year old single good-looking gay actor living in the City that you met that "de-gayed" his house before his parents arrived? It's 2010 not 1980. Ick.

  • Joe Coencas 03/17/2010 7:22:00 PM

    NEXT FALL is a Lifetime movie-of-the-week sit-com which has been overpraised by those who feel this play needs all the help it can get at the box office. What did Luke and Adam talk about for four years? Would a gay couple in 2010 remove a copy of Capote's biography from their bookcase? Why stage the hospital room scene so far upstage? The OUR TOWN reference is patronizing. And how does this couple come to afford an apartment in Tribeca? The show is lame, sentimental and trivial. Ugh!!!

  • eslye 03/17/2010 6:27:00 PM

    Will you be following the lawsuit by the real soldier that is suing the writers of The Hurt Locker? They based their story on him. Just thought it interesting. I love your work :))

  • BeBe 03/17/2010 5:55:00 PM

    Sorry we are as much in the dark in England and theater land about Ben Whishaws sexuality as the rest of the world I must make this clear it is not common knowledge here that he is Gay or has a long term partner and it will be big news to find that out he has hidden this very very well considering he has been with this person according to your source since RADA... if indeed this is true I have my doubts on this source and it would be virtually impossible to hide something like this for so many years...

  • AJH 03/17/2010 10:31:00 AM

    Is it just me or does Jeremy Renner look uncannily like Rainer Werner Fassbinder? Not that that says anything about the gay rumors. I thought it'd just be fun to point that out.
