Actor Jim Parsons comes out of the closet.

Golden Globes winner Jim Parsons, best known as Sheldon Cooper from the hit television sitcom The Big Bang Theory, has made a very public announcement.  Or rather, he did it in a very subtle way.  In a recent New York Times piece discussing his role in the Broadway version of Harvey, the writer references the play The Normal Heart, where Parsons played gay activist Tommy Boatwright.  That’s when the bombshell dropped.  Not only is Jim Parsons gay, he’s been in a serious relationship with his boyfriend for the last 10 years.  Cue the surprised reactions.

Honestly, I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.  The National Enquirer outed Parsons in 2010, and he’s always kind of seemed gay to me. Especially as Sheldon Cooper, he’s set off my gaydar.  Hopefully, this will be a positive development for Parsons’ personal life.  It doesn’t seem like he wanted to make a big deal of the announcement of his homosexuality, because this is a very casual way to let that information out publicly.  Honestly, at this point, it shouldn’t really matter, but here we are.

People still care that their favorite actor is gay, even when he’s not exactly hiding it.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
