BLIND ITEMS — “Which A-List Oscar winner refuses to come out of the closet even though everyone in Hollywood already knows he is gay? The talented thespian says he needs to keep his sexuality a secret to make his straight characters more believable. But his friends say he is really just afraid of losing primo leading roles.” [BlindGossip]

After seeing him out and about, I’d add Adrien Brody-even though that’s not his pic.

It’s Kevin Spacey. Though is he still considered A list? His last few movies have all tanked.

Kevin, cruising the steam room at American Fitness, mugged while “cottaging” in Hyde Park at 2am, hanging all over another obviously gay man while the two of them looked at an “art” book of penises in Soho, Spacey?

Kevin Spacey is gay, but hasn’t been A-list in a decade.

No need to be rude. The guy has TWO OSCARS and is still very much respected in the industry (A-List). Pity, though, that despite his success, he still sees a need to suck up to every homophobe out there.

The more difficult question would be which Oscar winners really are straight?

I’ve pretty much always known Spacey was gay ’cause my gaydar goes off like gangbusters when I see him, but it was especially obvious when I saw him at the Sundance Film Festival flirting with some young twink.

If he won’t come out of the closet about being BALD, what makes you think he will come out for being gay?

Spacey is too obvious a choice. Is there another ‘A lister’ (who has had more recent success) that we’re not thinking about?
