Tonight on "You're the One That I want" Olivia said something like, "My partner Pat used to sing that song to me. SHE's sick at home."
Hmm ...
"I am open, and I am willing,
For to be hopeless would seem so strange.
It dishonors those who go before us,
So lift me up to the light of change."

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 1/28/07 at 11:10pmI thought the same thing. If she was indeed referring to a lesbian partner, then it's the first I heard. But if so, I wouldn't call it a "coming out." She said it so casually. It wasn't an announcement.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Reminds me of that GOLDEN GIRLS episode where Dorothy's lesbian friend had a partner named Pat and the other girls thought Pat was a man.

From Wikipedia.com
n 1983, Newton-John and longtime friend Pat Farrar founded Koala Blue, a chain of women's clothing boutiques, with the designs of the apparel based on the unique style and colours of Australia. The chain was successful for some time but eventually went out of business. However, Newton-John and Farrar have licensed the brand name for a line of Australian produced wines, confections, and other items.
So I don't know what this all means.

Posted: 1/28/07 at 11:18pmThat was the first thought that popped into my head, but then I just assumed she was a business partner.

Why the hell is her business partner singing to her?
I guess it's not all that ridiculous...

Didn't her male partner go missing for a long time after the Tsunami? So was that some other mainstream celebrity that was missing someone...

That doesn't mean she wasn't 'coming-out'
I mean yeah it's a bit silly. But take say, Gary Beach (surprise surprise I know, but don't drown me out.) Apparently, he accidently slipped something about his partner during an interview one time, and read it over later and was like 'hm, look at that!' And before had never officially revealed he was a homosexual.
So I mean, just because it was casual, maybe it was an accident or she doesn't think it's a big deal.

From 1996, Newton-John lived together with gaffer/cameraman Patrick McDermott. However, on June 30, 2005, directly before her new album Stronger Than Before hit stores, McDermott went missing following a fishing trip off the coast of California. The Coast Guard has not ruled out the possibility of foul play but concedes that they have few leads. Olivia, who was vacationing at her self-owned Gaia Retreat & Spa in Australia at the time, is not a suspect. [1]
Fox News Network reported on June 4, 2006, that some witnesses claim to have seen McDermott alive and well in Mexico. A theory is that he staged his disappearance in order to avoid court proceedings brought by an ex-wife concerning child support payments. Newton-John has refused to comment on such speculation.

Posted: 1/29/07 at 1:25amWow, these are a lot of crazy stories I've never heard before...
#18re: Did Olivia Newton-John Just Come Out?!?
Posted: 1/29/07 at 1:39amNo, it is a fact that she has "lived" with a woman. I remember reading this in an article about her involvement in the film "Sordid Lives". So I would say Yes......

Wikipedia.... thinks come and go so quickly there! Not two seconds ago I read "Newton-John was married to Matt Lattanzi from 2005 to present. They had one child during their marriage, a girl named Chloe Rose Lattanzi, born in 1986. The math was leaving me mind-boggled - but when I went back just now to copy and paste it here, it had already been altered to read "from 1984 to 1995"
Now I'm resisting the urge to edit in "facts" about her having a wiener or worshiping Satan.
And no one grew into anything new, we just became the worst of what we were."

Pat Farrar and Olivia started out in the business together as a duo when they were very young. Pat Farrar has been married to former Shadow, songwriter and record producer John Farrar for many, many years.
She meant business partner.

Olivia's "partner" Pat!
Everybody surely knows she just meant square dance partner.
Sheesh.

Posted: 1/29/07 at 11:28amI seem to remember lesbo rumors bout Livvy back in the early eighties.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
