    Singer-songwriter, Barry Manilow has come out as gay at the age of 73, two years after it was reported that he married his longtime partner, Garry. The pair reportedly married in 2014, in Palm Springs, however, at the time, the “Mandy” singer’s publicist refused to answer speculation on the reports.

    The singer, who made his name along with Bette Midler in the gay bathhouses of New York City, has never spoken about his sexuality before, but he did tell The Daily Telegraph in 2012, that he wasn’t dating anyone and that he was happily single, despite the fact he was actually with his boyfriend manager.

    It seems as though he’s actually been with his partner for nearly 40 years after they met in 1978, whom he describes as “the smartest person” he’s ever met and “a great guy”. Garry is also Barry’s manager.

    He said that he kept his sexuality secret for so many years for fear of disappointing his fans, although as the People Magazine article notes, it was an “open secret to some in his long-devoted, mostly female fan base”.

    Anyway, THEGAYUK wishes Barry a Happy Coming Out day!

    Jennifer Saunders thought of Ab Fab lines on the bus before filming

    Helen Lederer, who starred in the Ab Fab sitcom as and last year’s hit movie, as Patsy’s magazine co-worker Catriona, told THEGAYUK.com that the actors’ lines were rarely ever set in stone and that Jennifer would give them line changes on the day of filming. Keeping the stars on their toes and the episodes fresh.

    Jennifer herself has confessed that she was terrible for handing in the episode’s scripts before filming and locking down lines for the actors involved to learn, Helen was once told by Jennifer that she was still writing lines on the bus on the way to the studio.

    “Once she said she was thinking of my lines on the bus.. but it always arrives in the end”.

    “(it was) very good fun, people laugh a lot and suggest things and then we do it Jennifer’s way.”

  • Which TV star has become Twerking King?

    It seems as though we might have a new twerking king on our hands…

    X Factor star Lloyd Daniels just served it – giving the current twerking king, Aaron Frew, a bit of a run for his money. We hailed Big Brother star Aaron ‘Twerking King’ after he pulled some serious moves in Big Brother in the summer of 2015. In fact, he showed us how to twerk whilst bottoming. Which has come in handy… quite a few times.

    But now has Lloyd stolen his crown? Judge for yourself….

  • STEPS: We’ve never been cool or relevant!

    STEPS: We’ve never been cool or relevant!

    Camptastic group, Steps have revealed that they’ve always danced to the beat of their own (uncool) drum.

    In an interview with Huffington Post today, Ian “H” Watkins joked that Steps, who managed to land an iTunes Number 1 with their new (rather marvellous) single, “Scared Of The Dark”, have never been “cool” or “relevant”.

    We’d have to argue otherwise. In their 20 year existence, they’ve managed to rack up a whopping 15 top 20 singles with 13 of those reaching the top 5. That’s pretty darn cool to us.

    When asked by HuffoPo what Steps brought they bring to today’s charts, they said,

    Lisa: We’ve brought colour to the charts.

    Faye: And a bit of drama.

    Claire: I think everyone is so concerned with being cool – or relevant – these days.

    H: We’ve never been cool or relevant! (laughs).

    Claire: Lots of stuff follows the same formula. There’s no diversity anymore. That’s probably why people like Adele and Ed Sheeran do so well because they’re not that.

    Still not heard the song yet – check it out below. 

     

     

  • Lloyd Daniels is making a huge change to his appearance

    Heartthrob Lloyd Daniels has just done something very brave and he’s documenting it for the world to see.

    The X Factor star, Lloyd Daniels, has revealed to his legion of fans that he’s thinning on top – and is doing something about it.

    Speaking about his hairline, the singer said, he had been losing confidence as a result of his receding hairline and has only managed to keep the issue hidden by clever concealment.

    He spoken out about how he’s being trying to keep it hidden and up until now hasn’t spoken publically about his issue.

    He revealed that he’s been using clever haircuts to “cover up” his receding hairline.

    However, he’s just undertaken a robotic hair transplant from Artas Robotic Hair Transplant at Juvida Clinics in Yorkshire. He said that he hoped that his journey would inspire others who are upset about balding to take steps.

    The boyfriends, who only announced their relationship last month, have gotten engaged whilst on holiday together. It seems whilst the love birds were away Jeff was busy making plans to pop the question to Colton during an evening fireworks display.

    We’re so happy for the fellas and they aren’t wasting time. As far as we can tell the guys have been dating for over five weeks, when Colton here took to social media to tell the world that he had a boyfriend.

    Left-wing commentator and Guardian journalist Owen Jones has quit social media following death threats. He told his 252,000 followers on Facebook that he taking time away from social media except to post articles, videos and events. Owen Jones was instrumental in bringing the anti-Trump protests to London earlier in the year.

    He told his fans,

    “I find myself constantly engaging with people denouncing my motives while sending abuse. And my friends ask: What are you doing? Why are you wasting your life on this nonsense? And they’re just right.

    “Added with the usual far-right extremists sending ever more creative descriptions of how they’re going to torture and murder me, I’m no longer convinced social media is as useful a tool for political debate and discussion as it once was.”

    Owen revealed that his harshest critics were “frothing keyboard warriors” and that he didn’t think that social media was a “useful a tool for political debate”.

    It hasn’t been revealed whether Owen has reported threats to the police.
