A likely version of the facts might very well be that the “quite famous actor” auditioned for a part and wasn’t considered good enough for the Old Vic. As a (cheap) revenge he made up that casting couch story out of anger and bitterness. That’s just the way it goes in this sad world of ours… :-)

I’m gonna tell you a little secret, people: in that sort of outrageous gossip-mongering, the important thing is not so much whom it is talked about, but rather who is talking, and why. It might be quite enlightening to know that poster’s motivation for coming to this old and not obviously accessible page. No doubt they are highly honourable. However, I can’t help but notice that this sh*t about Spacey is popping up as by coincidence when he’s just been appointed as a teacher of contemporary theatre at St Catherine’s college, Oxford, where plenty of young boys and girls are impatiently waiting for him to come like a messiah. No surprise if a bunch of jealous people have a personal interest in spreading that new rumour under the cover of anonymity. Who said “disgusting”?

It is also possible that whatever the actual details of the event, that the ‘mugging’ had something to do with a homosexual encounter.

It’s possible, he’s either bisexual, or he might be feverishly trying to prove he’s not gay (and thus denying who he is) by going against nature and being with women.

You’re right, pal, and even righter than you may know. Here’s the proof:

As you can see, the “journalist” just recycled together two unrelated gossips, and here we go: a brand new blind item for the “gullible hoï polloi” as you say…
Those BI are truly a plague.

From the London Sentinel, nov. 28, 2007.

[quote]Spacey’s mugged Phone Belonged to…

The cell phone at the centre of actor Kevin Spacey’s “mugging” incident in London – in 2004 – belonged not to him but to the producer of his Darin movie “Beyond the Sea”

The two time academy winning actor, was “walking his dog” in the early hours of the morning in April 2004 in a south London park when his cell phone was snatched off him. Now we’ve been told by a source demanding absolute anonymity “the cell phone did not belong to Kevin, but to Andy Paterson”.

So… what’s going on here? Our source claims he has the real story behind the bizarre mugging incident. A story that seems to revolve more around Andy Paterson and his troubled teen daughter, rather than Kevin Spacey.

Our source: “Andy called Kevin, practically hysterical, telling him he had a fight with his daughter and that she had run off. He had looked for her everywhere but couldn’t find her. She’s very fond of Kevin and Andy hoped she might have contacted him. Kevin told Andy he had not heard from, or seen her but said he would come over.

When he arrived, Andy showed him his cell phone loaded with messages from his daughter asking him to collect her. She, however, did not pick up, when Andy called her. Kevin had just advised Andy to alert the police when there was a text message from Andy’s daughter asking him to pick her up. After this text message Andy freaked out completely. He told Kevin a story, I’m not willing to share, about his daughter, and was about to head over there with both guns blazing to get his daughter. But Kevin told him to stay put and that he would go and get her. He took the phone in case she should call.

What happened, exactly, after that, I don’t know, what I do know is that he ran into the wrong kind of people, while looking for her and got into trouble. The rest is, more or less, known”

But why did Spacey tell the police this story about being mugged while walking his dog? Why did he not just tell the truth then?

Our source: “Many people have asked him that. My take is he did not want to betray Andy’s trust and did not want to drag their story to the frontpages”

This story remains a riddle…’”[/quote]

Enough twisted to be likely, though. Much more likely than the waiter’s story at least.

“All Spacey gay rumors is a bunch of BS.
I have this friend who works at this nightclub in London and Spacey is a frequent customer, with quite a reputation, not because of his hitting on guys but because of his hitting on girls.
My friend has told me plenty of stories, one of which I remember rather well; he had been hitting it off with this (young) girl, but when push came to show she decided not to leave with him because of her boyfriend…
He spent about 15 minutes trying to change her mind ( no one will ever know, yadayadaya, you know the drill) , but she left anyway not much later after that. He was not too happy about that, my friend couldn’t help remarking, somewhat gleefully.
It didn’t stop him however, from hitting on this other girl, cold ten minutes after girl number one had left, and this time more successfully because she left with him about 30 minutes later.
It strikes as odd should a guy presumably gay spend a lot of time in our club where the people mainly are straight and often picks up the most beautiful girls. And I can tell you he does this often. He’s becoming a freaking legend because of it down here.
Gay! My foot!
The man’s had more women in the years he’s been in London than you and I will, combined for the rest of our lives!”

But all this seems to be a thing of the past by now. There are echoes from the London Old Vic (Spacey’s theatre) that indicate he’s presently in a stable relationship with a female co-worker, and will soon be a father (unless he’s one already, with such a secretive actor you never know).
So much for the fanatical gay activists, the raging homophobes and of course the tabloids hacks who dare not utter a word about it, otherwise they’d have to shamefully apologise for having wrongly harassed Spacey for the last twelve years. :-)

I can assure you there are plenty of Spacey stories about, but I’m affraid they’re not gay related.

I could also tell you about the time he came on to one of my (female) yes you read right, friends, strongly. Or about the times I’ve seen him operate and pick up his date for the night, sorry to say those weren’t guys either.

But then I would be doing the same as all those people posting their stories and eye witness accounts of events… which I never believe so I won’t bore you with it.

Again, come over to London and you can see for yourself. But a word of caution; I doubt it will be what you want to see or hear.

don’t shoot the messenger!

The original story was already nothing else but a laughable tabloïd construct, and this is just a new construct over the previous one. Of
course, as so little is known about the man’s private life, the desperate gossip-mongers are reduced to resurrecting an old dish – with a new relish.
Seriously, do such people as Spacey need hitting on waiters to get what they want? Please give me a break! Whatever your sexual preference may be,
there are more discreet and comfortable ways to get satisfied when you have a private life to protect… and a lot of money! Besides, who
will believe any high-profile celebrity would give his/her personal phone number to a complete unknown? This unlikely detail knocks the whole story down.

Yet another made up “prince and poor” fantasy for the gullible hoï polloï… :-)

Ha! Brilliant, inciting, absolutely brilliant 8^)

Really though: What I wanna know is what kinda guy would dare to punch Keyzer Soze in the fucking face?

in one case, the police (it was later revealed) moved the crime scene from it’s location in a parking lot, across the street to the preacher’s office.

so, for me… YES… totally believable.
