Woody Allen apparently had an aborted boys night out last week. Page Six reports that the legendarily neurotic director went to see his friend Tony Roberts in Xanadu during a notorious gay night. Allen did not, however, go bar-hopping afterward. Can you imagine, New Yorkers, if Woody Allen walked into Phoenix or Barracuda? It would either be sublime or terrifying, we can’t decide. [NY Post]

Isn’t every night at Xanadu a “notorious gay night”?
Woody Allen also memorably once said, being bisexual doubled your chances of a date on Saturday night.

Taylor, I believe in the movie, “Manhattan,” his ex-wife played by Meryl Streep was a lesbian. I haven’t seen the movie in years. But you’re right, there has never been a gay male character in one of his films; although in, “Annie Hall,” he does make fun a a gay couple walking in the park holding eachother: “They’re back from Fire Island. They’re giving it a chance for a minute.” However, when he says about one man, “There’s the winner of the Truman Capote look-alike contest.” the man is actually Truman Capote
