Ok folks, are we buying this story?
Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross is set to reveal she is a real-life lesbian by posing for a gay mag. The sexy redhead - stuffy Bree Van De Kamp in the hit show - will join the likes of Cynthia Nixon and Ellen DeGeneres by coming out.
Marcia, 43, is believed to be in a long-term relationship with a brunette from another top US show. And she will pose on the cover of US mag, The Advocate, to confirm her sexuality.
The Sun quotes a show insider as saying: "Everyone on the show is aware of Marcia's leanings, as is the rest of Hollywood. "She hasn't made a secret of it. Some of the other housewives were worried the news might hurt the ratings. But creator Marc Cherry is gay and very supportive of her decision."

I don't know. I heard her on a talk show recently saying that she's looking to get married. I guess she could have meant, "to a woman," but that's not how it came across.

Well, she denied it flat out on "The View" today, so I guess she's not. If she had hedged or ducked the question even a little, I would have taken that as an admission, but she said directly that she was straight.
Actually, this whole thing happened a few years ago-except this time it was Jonathan Taylor Thomas who was supposed to come out on the cover of the advocate. This was when Home Improvement was winding down. The Advocate quickly (much more quickly that they did this time) denied that a story was ever planned, but Thomas played coy when asked if he was gay.
Guess we will find out eventually.
