Also - any public act or statement by a celebrity is PR by definition, otherwise they could keep it private and not share with the world.

I think we're also conflating two cateogories that can overlap but, don't actually mean the same thing.
There are many celebrities who will do anything to garner press. Actors can be celebrities...but they can also not be celebrities. I wouldn't call Strickland a celebrity. He's an actor and a singer.
So, yes. Tila Tequila can get some press by claiming lesbianism, or bisexuality. But we still have major actors dating and marrying members of the opposite sex to protect their careers. I'm looking at you Squinty and Coops!

Is it Squinty or Coops who favors same sex realtions?
I would imagine Coops, but who knows, Squinty did marry Kenny Chesney?

C. All of the above!*
I actually have NO IDEA on this one. But I like pretending cause I want to sit on Coops face.

Was there any one who actually thought he was straight?
Haven't we moved past that tiresome phrase yet: "Was there any one who actually thought he was straight?"
I thought intelligent people stopped saying that 5 years ago.
The point is the accumulation of an ever-larger number of performers, sports figures, politicians and other public figures who are comfortable being open an honest about their affectional orientation.

I love publicity whores who have no idea they are whores.

If you don't already have enough publicity that coming out won't "suddenly" make you the center of attention, then it's usually for som eamount of publicity.
Neil Patrick Harris did it when he was doing pretty damn well. If Justin Timberlake (who is straight, I'm not implying anything, just giving an example) suddenly came out, it would hardly be for publicity, since he's already pretty A-list.

That's one talented ass you've got there, gvendo. Does it do birthday parties? Because I have some friends who would love to see that.
At any rate, good for Josh. When is it ever a bad thing for someone to openly admit who they really are?

The biggest surprise for me is that he wasn't already out. I could have seriously sworn he was.

A lot of people like to think they're "not out" when they have "been out" for years, like Sean Hayes.
