GREG IN HOLLYWOOD: We already knew pansexual JoJo Siwa was going to compete on Season 30 (KILL ME) of Dancing with the Stars, and that she'd dance with a woman — a first. Now comes word that out gay Peloton instructor (which is apparently enough to be famous) Cody Rigsby will be on the same season ... though as Greg points out, everybody's mum on whether he'll cut a rug with a fella. If not ... why not? Will there be a (Pelo)ton of lame excuses?

THE GUARDIAN: What 40 years of celebrity interviews taught this journalist about gay issues in entertainment:
Looking back at the celebrity interviews I have conducted over almost 40 years, it makes me wonder if the public were ever quite as obsessive – and puritanical – about the sex lives of stars as some newspapers. It’s depressing how actors such as Richard Chamberlain and Antony Sher asked their PRs to tell me on no account to inquire about their private lives. Both have since come out and found contentment, but Chamberlain would, in his Dr. Kildare days, get himself photographed with women; and Sher went so far as to get married to one. Making such a fuss about not talking about his private life was, as Sher now wryly accepts, like “putting a gigantic neon sign over my head saying, 'This guy is gay.'”
