Jay Leno Apologizes to Ryan for asking to make a "Gay Face"

I was outraged when Jay Leno asked guest Ryan Phillipe to make a 'gay face' on his show The Tonight Show a few weeks ago and now he apologizes. Takes a big man. "In talking about Ryan's first role, I realize that what I said came out wrong. I certainly didn't mean any malice. I agree it was a dumb thing to say, and I apologize," to said to People Magazine. AfterElton.com would have rather him do the apology to his own show and not a magazine. His actual quote was this: "can you give me – say that camera is your gay lover – can you give me your ‘gayest look’? Say that camera is Billy Bob – Billy Bob has just ridden in shirtless from Wyoming." GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano said: "We are proud of Ryan for refusing to participate in Leno's thoughtless attempt at humor. "Under the guise of comedy, the talk-show host is demonstrating a lack of respect for the gay community and insensitivity to both his co-workers and the audience, to whom he owes an apology."

Ryan Phillippe sweats on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Ryan Phillippe who seems to be more rough deep Delware-y accent tonight. He did seem to be sweating a lot over Jay Leno mentioning him being the first openly gay character in "One Life to Live" which was his first role. When Jay wanted him to 'look gay' for the camera for a 'soap opera' cliche zoom-in, Ryan wanted to leave. And I don't think Ryan was being homophobic, I think Jay was. What the fuck is a 'gay look'? And then Jay motherfucking said that to imagine his character Billy's hot gay boyfriend. That never happened in the series, nor does it happen with the openly gay couple Luke and Noah on "As the World Turns." Jay went on to mention Ryan's Armani commercial, in which he was nude in. Lisa Lampelli who came in after him, said she loved that he played a Ass Tickler, of course censored by NBC. By all her foul language and Ryan's reactions, she said he was 'squirming.' He actually accepted a compliment from her saying that he looked like a Ken doll. I think he wouldn't have taking that comment from anyone else. I think Jay needs to go to a Gender class.

More shocking split: Reese and Ryan

While all other blogs have been all about Reese Whiterspoon and Ryan Phillipe splitting, I am shocked and dissapointed. They have been together for seven years and have kids, I was hoping for the best. I hope they settle their differences and get back together. They are not divorce just yet, just seperated.
