Slog - Comments on Doogie Likes Dick, Kanye is One http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/11/doogie_likes_tools_k Okay, a little non-Haggard news... Neal Patrick Harris is gay, he tells People Magazine. "So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love." ...

What a winer. what a bitch. He gave Pamela 50,000 dollars for the appearance in his video.

I... I... am just... how does one even respond to something like that?!

Meanwhile, re: Doogie... duh.

But giving Kanye the benefit of the doubt, he protested in a humorous way and if he looks like a dick in people's eyes, he probably just chalks it up as good/bad press. The sad thing is that the award winning video gets overshadowed - it's great!

Is it beyond Kanye to maturely acknowledge their artfulness, even if it isn't his cup of tea? It seems that confrontation is his way of doing just that.

He should learn to suck his own dick and then he wouldn't have to leave the house ever again.

Yeah, it also makes that Will & Grace episode when NPH plays a "recovering" gay man, even funnier, too.

(If affirmatively denied isn't some sort of contradiction in terms.)

He's never tried to hide his sexuality in all the time I've seen him around New York. Good for him.

Boomer, I don't know what other sources you have, but NPH's quotes in this post sound rather pleased.

That would imply he's under somebody's thumb, whereas dude strikes me as a free agent. And I take issue with those who describe him as talentless (there's plenty of talent running through tracks like "Jesus Walks," let alone his production work for the likes of Common, Lupe Fiasco, et al.). But this unfortunate outburst makes him look like a total idiot, which is unfortunate as I don't see many other major hip-hop recording artists speaking out against homophobia (racism, yes). Sadly, the stupid shit tends to attract more attention; I hope he got it out of his system.
