what's with all the hot actors being suspected of being gay?

i mean, i'm not a homophobe but whenever there's a handsome actor in the limelight such as vin diesel or brandon routh, they're immediately rumoured as gay! wtf? can't anybody famous be heterosexual anymore?

Update:

jeromemarkgo below you made me sick with your answer! how can you say that one engaging himself to sexual acts/ favors whether homo or hetero to further his career would be a great example to kids? obviuosly you're not a parent who knows what example his kids should be following...puhleeezzz!!!

and for anyone's info, queenie you are gravely mistaken because the kevin mann you are referring to is NOT gay and NOT those kind of producers who has a casting couch. he happens to be purely heterosexual and he produces and co-hosts "the man show". i guess you're one of those who spreads nasty rumours...

    It seems that rumours and gossip sell, or sometimes people are just facetious. They entertainment-reporting business is just so shallow, most of the (either) reporters or their management can't be half decent with people or be kind. Also, everything has to be sensationalized these days, whether it is true or false. Integrity and honesty seem to be things of the past when it comes to reporting on famous people. (And so what if the person is gay - it should be their right to say so, not a 'reporter'!)

    I went on yahoo movies the other day to learn more about Brandon Routh and thats where I saw listed under significant other someone named Kevin Mann. his companion since 2003. I didnt even think he was gay until I saw that. I just looked on the site again and now its saying he has been dating actress courtny ford so who knows

    queeniez71's answer caught my interest! i checked out this kevin mann, and he seems to be a producer. around 30. what more do you know about kevin mann? after all, it is very well-known that in hollywood, many str8 wannabe actors engage in homosexual relations before going bigtime.

    i'd really understand if brandon routh is indeed gay. he'd be a gr8 example to kids. whether he "experimented' or was merely rumored to be gay, is subject to conjecture till hollywood overcomes it's homophobia and relative conservatism. ask al these young beautiful men waiting for their run-in with stardom, and they'll probably share with you their tales of unexpected homosexual daliances on a night impatience and despair.. or on an afternoon of anticipation...who knows. gay or str8, these people are all jealous of BEAUTY!!!

    Maybe because they are hot (very popular) now in the movie industry,alot of envious people trying to ruin their careers! Many of famous Hollywood actors revealed being gays,but the respects and support of their fans still not affected!Showbiz rumors and gossips are just normal as we can invent any story as long as we want! I can even tell that you are a lesbian,eventhough i dont know you but I see your avatar!Now would you believe me? Or would your friends believe me? I can make exagerated story out of a gold and turn it into trash!So, what is the big deal if they are gays? I like them as they characterized the movie as well as they justified the role of being heroes in the movies,and I dont care what sexual preferences they have!If the tree is bearing bunch of ripe fruits,they try to hit it with stones!

    People just love to start idiotic rumors, it sells papers, it gets viewers on E news, and everybody gets a fat pay check for telling a lie. It's not just actors that are accused of these rumors it's a lot of celebrities also. Tyson, the male model got accused of being gay and we all know that's not true. I think that's just part of the entertainment world.

    are you instantly? have you ever concept there became a lady that became pleasing or had pleasing positive homes? Ever concept "I want I had legs like her" or something alongside those lines. a persons' sexual decision does no longer end them from having an opinion. There decision is merely that, a decision. some would nicely be sickened by utilizing the idea-about strait or gay ideas. that is there prerogative.

    C'mon, there are very few actors/waiters/male hairdressers, etc. who aren't gay. Lucky US! WOO HOO!! BTW, I'll take Vin Diesel or Colin Farrell ANY day!

    papaazzi always make false things up for money and they get a picture of the actor doing something that will make people think he is gay!

    Maybe the actor's publicist just wants to cover all the bases.

    Well I think, guys start the rumors so women won't like them or be atracted to them. Sounds like something men would do.
