David Hyde Pierce (the guy who played Niles on Frasier) has officially come out of the closet after an AP story appeared on CNN saying: "Pierce got to Los Angeles in the early 1990s when his partner, actor-writer-producer Brian Hargrove, wanted to write for television." Pierce's sexuality has always been an open secret in Hollywood although he's never formally come out. AfterElton.com contacted a rep for Pierce about the AP story, and they confirmed that Hargrove is indeed Pierce's life partner.

I could've sworn he admitted this years ago. I remember hearing it when the movie "A Bug's Life" was in theaters (he was the voice of Slim, the twig-looking bug).

I shouldn't be surprised, but then again.... it was a little too obvious. No one could ever be that obviously gay. It's so expectable that it becomes unexpected. Not that I freakin' care or anything. Though when I watch Fraiser reruns, it'll be akward with those Daphne scenes..

As if the "Fat Daphne" saga wasn't hard enough to watch.

So what?

It's his life. It affects him and his partner and nobody else.

What about his thousands of female fans? Their adolescent hearts will be broken! They may pour their feelings onto their MySpace "blogs", and then, Scandia, it's a problem for all of us. David you are a selfish, selfish man for not giving the adolescent girls what they want, and that is your body.

It's not like he's a teen heartthrob or anything. And to be honest, I have yet to meet anyone who has a crush on him.

I think you may mean Lance Bass may cause that kind of reaction on teenyboppers. Although I had the exact same one as to David Hyde Pierce- shrugging my shoulders since I could care less.

As the great Greek Philosipher Homer J. Simpson once said:

It doesn't matter if you're straight or gay... unless your a celebrity... in that case, it's dish dish dish.

I'm going to have to start putting sarcasm tags in all my posts...
