I think all the outrage over at ATC is HILARIOUS. The things people choose to get offended at. We have bigger battles.

The ATC-ers have really gotten their panties in a bunch over this one. I thought it was hilarious, and added a bit of humor to these mundane questionnaires.

Personally I don't find it offensive, but I do find it stupid. It just makes him look like he thinks he's the funniest person in the world. Not so.

So I am assuming he is straight. Was the marriage shout out about him being married?

No no, something about "he thinks anyone should have have the right to marry the person they love" or something like that.

I agree with the poster above ... while not offensive, his answers are foolish - and UNfunny. Yikes.

He looks like Tarzan.

I, for one, enjoyed his answers.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

I found them funny. I like his casualness.

I especially loved this line.

"Worst onstage mishap: During previews for Lestat (yes, Lestat)...

And for the record yes he is straight, I actually heard some inside "scoop" while at the stage door. The person I was sitting next to during the show is friends with someone in the show so after the show they were next to me talking to me/her friend/some other people and said something about his relationship. I'm not saying anything more. But the woman next to me with her two daughters (the kinds that love stupid gossip) of course had to to tell everyone in the cast when they came out of the stage door they were aware of his little secret. I wanted to slap them across the face.

I thought it was a great Q and A.

My, my, my, it takes very little to make people's panties to go Tarzan Style on them! Geesh he was being flippant and trying to be entertaining. I found nothing wrong with the Q & A

I never knew there were any rumours about his sexuality. A few months ago, I found the strangest video on youtube insinuating that Will was an aetheist, okay, it wasn't insinuating, it was saying he was an aetheist. Anyway, Will actually commented on this video saying that he didn't understand the video and addressed rumours saying that he'd recently gotten divorced.

I highly doubt he's still a practicing mormon. I have a mormon friend who refuses to see Hair with me due to more than just the nude scene.

I enjoyed his Cue and A. Based on the article, I think he'd be a pretty cool guy to hang with.

Rwlevin, I totally agree with your comment about WS being a cool person to hang out with -- not that I'll ever have the opportunity but, if nothing else, I don't think I'd be bored.

At this stage in the game, I don't think it's any big secret that Will and another well-known actress are a couple. The two of them have appeared in public (PDAs and all) many times.

And that concludes the Page Six "Blind Item" portion of BWW for the day....

Oh wah wah. If it was "Scientologists" or "evangelicals" ATC'd be laughing their asses off.
