Afternoon Greg: Tom Brady’s sexy new ad; Oprah, Gayle, Jackman and Nate talk gays; and yes, I can feel the “Outrage”

Hello all, hope the day is treating you well. I’m holed up in my Park LaBrea apartment doing all those annoying things like laundry and bills and blogging in between. Hopefully my life gets a bit more glamorous as the week goes on.

BEAUTIFUL BRADY: Let’s perk ourselves up with these pics of Tom Brady’s new ad campaign for Smart Water. I say, “I’ll drink whatever he’s drinking.” This NFL dude can sell anything to me, anytime. I gotta say though, I can see why Bridget Moynahan, the mother of Tom’s y0ung son, might be a little upset about over-the-top comments his new wife Gisele Bundchen made about the child saying it feels like “100 percent hers” even though she didn’t give birth to him. “I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine,” she said. Any way you look at it, that’s a pretty obnoxious thing to say publicly.

OPRAH PANEL: Hey, if I wanted to talk about “How do you know if someone is gay?” why not gather this team: Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King and Hugh Jackman who people are always saying are gay but who say they are not; and Nate Berkus who IS gay. Also throw in Jenny McCarthy who isn’t gay but shares her life with Jim Carrey who very convincingly played gay in the movie I Love You Phillp Morris.
Watch what happens!

OUTRAGED: I get the chance to interview documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick tomorrow about his important new film Outrage, a searing indictment of the hypocrisy of closeted politicians and their appalling gay rights voting rec0rds. So I spent part of my morning watching the movie and will post a review for you either later today or early tomorrow. It is very well-done with extensive research and interviews and a superb use of clips. I felt such outrage over how dishonest and, quite frankly, pathetic men like Larry Craig, David Dreier and Charlie Crist appear to be. Just complete souless creatures. After watching this movie and seeing all of these self-loathing closet cases, it makes you feel good to be out and proud because to be otherwise can  really lead you to do sick things with your life – like be a Republican politician!

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY: To quote Sally Field in Steel Magnolias as she stood near Julia Roberts’ grave: “Whhhhyyyyyyyyyy!!!???!!!” Why is Jessica Simpson on the cover of the new Vanity Fair? To me, this is almost as low as when they put Paris Hilton on the cover. These are not interesting people! So Jessica gained a few pounds, big deal. And she’s in love with Tony Romo – for now. She used to be in love with John Mayer. Before that it was Nick Lachey. Yawn.
