Didn't We Already Know This?

Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory (the show my mom watches religiously but always forgets the name of so just calls it the "other" How I Met Your Mother) is gay, like officially, and I thought we already swept up the popped rainbow balloons after having that party. I'm not serving that on a bed of warm sarcasm either. I know Jim thanked his partner Todd Spiewak (click here to see them in several states of awww) when he won a Golden Globe a couple of years ago, but I thought he already said the words out loud in a magazine or something. I guess not, because everyone is saying that Jim has "quietly come out of the closet" in an interview with The New York Times. High brow!

In a piece about Jim's starring role in a Broadway revival of Harvey, the NYT casually dropped this in:

The Normal Heart” resonated with him on a few levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment, he said. As the production was ending last summer, he heard that the Roundabout Theater Company was considering a revival of “Harvey” — initially with John C. Reilly under consideration for Elwood — and last November the play’s director, Scott Ellis, asked him and Ms. Hecht to do a private reading of the work in Los Angeles.

The article also mentions that Jim is 10 months away from turning 40. Now that's the real RED SIRENS GET CNN ON THIS news. Jim Parsons being gay is something we all learned in school, but Jim Parsons being almost 40 is the real shock. Jim Parsons looks like a come-to-a-life cartoon of a 5th grader as drawn by Charles M. Schulz. Dude looks eternally 11, so the headline should be: JIM PARSONS COMES OUT AS A 39-YEAR-OLD.

And I know everyone is waiting for Anderson Cooper to casually come out, but he better not do it like this or I'll never speak to the cardboard cutout of him I have in the corner of my bedroom AGAIN! Usually, I'm not really into it when hos come out on the cover of People for a check, but I'll make an exception for Anderson. Andy's coming out needs to be a spectacle! It needs to be some "sliding down the rainbow, resurrecting Judy Garland, unicorn heads exploding" shit! It needs to be an international holiday and Lady GaGa's stupid ass better copy another Madonna song when writing Anderson's official coming out anthem. When Anderson finally comes out publicly to the media, I better turn on the TV and see an infomercial for the commemorative plates with his giggling face on them. It better be like that.

He didn't need to "come out" because he was never in hiding. I like TBBT. It's cute.

I really find TBBT boring but Jim seems very cute and sweet. Good for him and Todd. They are really adorable.
But this picture of him and the rabbits is creeping me out!

PS. Libertarian, so I don't really give a shit, but maybe some straight casting folks would put hotter women on shows.
****************

This is funny 'cos it's true. I'm a female, but there is such an "American" look with the actresses here. It's like bland as can be. Take one watch of some spanish-language programming to see what the "norm" is in those places, and you realise who picks the skinny as hell mannequin bowls of oatmeal they call actresses in the US.

Also, I laughed so hard at this paragraph: "The article also mentions that Jim is 10 months away from turning 40. Now that's the real RED SIRENS GET CNN ON THIS news. Jim Parsons being gay is something we all learned in school, but Jim Parsons being almost 40 is the real shock. Jim Parsons looks like a come-to-a-life cartoon of a 5th grader as drawn by Charles M.

Love Jim on TBBT! And I thought he was out already, like, OUT out. I saw recently that he was pushing 40 and that shocked me because I pegged him as very early 30s.

And @loopy, he and the other three guys on the show all play career physicists/engineers that work at Caltech doing research. He's not playing a student, just a huge nerd lol.

Well aren't you just carrying around a big bag of nothing!

omg he is 39 yo? but he is playing some college geek.

i wanna see him sans makeup.

"JIM PARSONS COMES OUT AS A 39-YEAR-OLD."

This is the news.

I knew Jim was gay when I saw him on Martha Stewart; he reminds me tremendously of several gay Southern friends. His manners were impeccable and he brought his mom and sister with him to the taping. He and Todd are a cute couple; I think they look a bit alike, like a lot of LT couples.

Jim should play JFK instead of the Texas T-Rex. He could nail that Boston accent in a heartbeat.

Dear MK,
Anderson Cooper is MY luvah. You can have sex with him though, I don't mind; but I married him in my mind, at Stonehenge. *mad laughter*
Kthxbai!

The SandwichQueen strikes again!
PS - I'm pretty sure I knew Jim was gay like 5 years ago when that show first started.

Jim & Todd look super cute together! ♥

"JIM PARSONS COMES OUT AS A 39-YEAR-OLD" - OLOLOLOLOLOL!

And nah, I don't think Silver Fox has any plans to come out in a big way, nope! But he is besties with Kathy Griffin maybe that's his way of dropping a HUGE HINT! ;p

Fist of all (I'll keep the typo), all men in hollywood are gay--every single one of them, casting, costume hair, makeup, director, lighting, sound, even accounting and the guy who brings in exotic lizards for desert movies--there is no fucking closet anywhere in the thirty mile zone.

Secondly, this dude told me he was gay just by standing in front of a tv camera and letting me see him--I might be straight, but I'm not blind.

PS. Libertarian, so I don't really give a shit, but maybe some straight casting folks would put hotter women on shows.

"but he better not do it like this or I'll never speak to the cardboard cutout of him I have in the corner of my bedroom AGAIN! "
This is why I love u MK. Personally, I prefer my cardboard cutouts to remain in the closet, where I can grope them in privacy. It's also why I have to get dressed under a red light next to a bottle of vodka.

What surprises me is that he's almost 40. I thought mid to late 20s.
Maybe he stole Dick Clark's picture from the attic.

I guess I need to give TBBT another chance. I watched the first two episodes and found it irritating -- mainly because of this guy.

Vico's picture

I'm another fan of TBBT. But the early seasons before they turned it into a bloody soap opera. Now everyone's got to have a bloody partner. NO it was better when they were socially awkward highly intelligent nerds, doing nerdy things and not fitting in to mainstream society but now....

And add me to the queue of those who thought Jim Parsons was already out.

I feel so naughty admitting this: As a teen, I really enjoyed reading "Outweek" magazine.

He looks so much cuter in that picture than he does on the show. pretty eyes!
that's all I got.

*chanting as always*

Shut the fuck up kid, you're in my closet now.

The Big Bang Theory is my absolute favorite sitcom and I love Parsons! I guess I love it so much cause I too am a big old nerd, ha!

He's been out forever, for fuck's sake.

I love this show! But I don't watch it enough. I also love Archer. Damn the person who told me of them! I hate watching television...

I've loved this guy ever since he was the mom-banging knight in "Garden State." He's brilliant.

Ps. I LOVE Blossom as AFF on this show. She is hysterical.

**************************************************************
I really don't care for this show because most of the characters annoy me but I'll watch it occasionally with my husband who thinks it's hilaaaarious and I have to say,Blossom is terrific. There's something about her nerdy simplicity that I really like. This fool up here...if I lived with this character he'd missing within 24 hours.

He could be actually, too gay. I really can't stand him and God bless whoever can put up with his high pitched shit. He's probably just like that character he plays.

They have it on a loop on "Meineke TV" along with the Rachel Ray Show at Meineke Mufflers. I know this because I got stuck there for two hours while they did an oil change and rotated my tires. No joke.

They have it on a loop (actually a bunch of CBS programming) at the car dealership, so I always see it when I get my car serviced.

I'd always though Johnny Galecki was gay, and then recently learned that he was banging that hot (in the early seasons) blonde in the show. That's one of those WTF pairings.

Albatross's picture

First of all: bunnieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Second of all, I had a dream about this guy once. He put his head in my lap. Now my husband refers to him as my "boyfriend." So, of course he's gay. If I dream about or crush on a male celebrity, he turns out to be gay 90% of the time. Oh well.
