Wentworth: Always and forever

wentworth-miller81026007 (1)

Wentworth Miller officially “came out” last week, in a letter declining an invitation to attend a Russian film festival:

“As a gay man, I must decline,” Miller wrote in his letter. “I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government. The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.”

But it was no surprise to anyone who’s been a fan of him and his career. The only reason I bring it up is that I am wholly amused by the women who get online and post things like “what a waste!” or “we lost another one…” whenever a handsome celebrity comes out as gay. As if that’s the reason he and she will never end up together — like Anderson Cooper’s gayness is why they’ll never marry a Vanderbilt. The only way that reaction is even remotely rational is if you’re talking about someone you actually know that you either used to date, or (believed you) had a chance to date.

Wentworth Miller will always be one of my favorites. He’s a great actor and maybe an even better writer and producer. He stood up for what he believed in; rather than just not go, he chose to make a statement. And I love that unlike other multiracial celebs, he proudly acknowledges his black ancestry — ahem, Vin Diesel.

Plus, he is beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that I am currently re-watching the entire Prison Break series just to bask in his beautiful-ness.

You were never gonna have him anyway. So please, let the man live.

Can I Live

If Sanjay Gupta’s gonna be Surgeon General…

Then I think Obama should have just gone ahead and exclusively appointed TV celebrity personalities to his Cabinet. Maybe they wouldn’t be as effective as the people he’s already chosen, but they’d be cuter ;)

P.S. I understand that the surgeon general isn’t a cabinet-level position, but please… play along :)

Sanjay Gupta

Sanjay Gupta - Surgeon General

Here’s who else I may have picked to round out the Cabinet:

Judge Joe Brown

Judge Joe Brown for Attorney General

Judge Joe don’t take no mess…
Niecy Nash

Niecy Nash for Secretary of the Interior

She’ll clean things up and make them FABULOUS!
Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan for Secretary of Defense

He may not be too good at the ‘secretary’ part – But I’d trust him to kick anyone’s ass.

Xzibit

Xzibit for Transpo Sec.???

or maybe Vin Diesel…

Either way, we got a Black guy in the position (Just admit it, Vin) and we’d be riding in style…

OK, this is getting too silly now… but you get the point. I know Sanjay Gupta is a neurosurgeon… but he’s also a TV ho. Just seems weird to me. Any other cabinet suggestions? Get at me and let me know ;)
