Actress MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ refuses to address constant rumours about her sexuality, because whether or not she is gay is "nobody’s business".
The former Lost star has long been dogged by reports she is a ‘closet’ lesbian, but she insists she will never tell all about her private life instead choosing to avoid speculation by journalists and online bloggers by imagining them as swine.
She tells Latina magazine, "I picture them turning into pigs, slime coming out the side of their mouth, and I picture them jerking off. I don’t answer those questions. I just keep it to myself and it’s nobody’s business. If I wanna f**k a girl, a boy, a dog-that’s my business. That’s why there’s bathroom doors." And Rodriguez cannot grasp why the public want to know so much about her love life.
She adds, "What the majority of (people) want to know is what I’m doing with my vagina, and I think that that’s sick.
"What do you care who I’m dating? I can tell when somebody just wants to know about sex. And it makes me sick." (MT/WNWC/IG) * GARY BUSEY BATTLES HIS MALIBU LANDLORD Actor GARY BUSEY will be kicked out of his California home of more than 14 years if he doesn’t pay up more than $50,000 (£25,000) in outstanding rent, his landlord has claimed.
The Lethal Weapon star’s Malibu landlord claims he has withheld rent for almost a year.
But Busey’s attorney Vicki Roberts insists the actor has no trouble keeping up with the $6,000 (£3,000)-a-month rent, choosing instead to withhold the funds until blocked air vents - which are damaging his health - are cleared.
She tells The National Enquirer, "It’s true he owed over $50,000 in back rent - but he stopped paying because of a health issue. The landlord wouldn’t clean out the vents." This isn’t the first time Busey has fallen behind on home payments. The actor was taken to court in 2004 after falling behind $52,000 (£26,000) in rent, claiming his household was riddled with mould.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR. is delighted his former girlfriend SARAH JESSICA PARKER found love with MATTHEW BRODERICK - because the actor is "a lot more gifted and grounded" than he is.
The couple dated for seven years until they split in 1991 - but the once troubled Downey Jr. admits he was still deeply in love with the Sex & The City star.
Parker married fellow actor Broderick in 1997 - with whom she has one child, five-year-old James Wilkie.
Downey Jr. tells Parade magazine, "I was in love with Sarah Jessica, and love clearly was not enough. I was meant to move on. And, after some heartache, she was meant to find her home with a great star.
"He (Broderick) is a lot more gifted and grounded than I ever was. They have a great kid." Downey Jr. is now with his second wife Susan Levin, who he married in 2005.

Actress KATE HUDSON has launched a bitter attack on tabloid newspapers, accusing them of printing "lies" about her trips out in public.
The Fool’s Gold actress - who spends much of her downtime indoors - is so sick of reading false accounts of her social evenings on the town, she rarely gives "mean" journalists the opportunity to write untruths about her.
However, far from feeling hateful towards the perpetrators of such fabricated journalism, Hudson is convinced they will ultimately get the comeuppance they deserve.
She says, "I try to find time to go out and have fun, but every time I do, which isn’t very often, I end up in some tabloid with some lie. I don’t like that - I don’t like being a target for people who feel they can be mean.
"They way I look at is, it’s their karma. They have to live with themselves.
Can you imagine being the kind of person who could sit there writing that stuff? I mean, talk about karma. It will come back and bite you in the ass."

Spanish actor ANTONIO BANDERAS is convinced his presence in a movie is a good luck charm - because most of his co-stars have gone on to achieve Hollywood success.
The 47-year-old insists that many of the actors he has worked with shot to fame when they starred alongside him, and those who were already famous went on to win big at industry awards ceremonies.
He says, "I bring a lot of luck to my co-stars. Catherine Zeta Jones got her big break with Zorro, Salma (Hayek) with Desperado, Madonna got a Golden Globe for Evita.
"Even Tom Hanks, who was my boyfriend in Philadelphia, got an Oscar!" Zeta Jones worked with Banderas on 1998 hit movie The Mask of Zorro and went on to carve out a career as an A-list actress. Hayek also achieved international stardom following 1995’s Desperado, while Madonna’s starring role in Evita was her only critically-acclaimed acting venture to date.
And despite nearly 10 years as a successful actor, Tom Hanks did not win an Academy Award until he starred in 1993’s Philadelphia - scooping the Best Actor gong for his role in the AIDS-based courtroom drama.

Actress JULIE ANDREWS developed such a crush on late movie star RICHARD BURTON when they appeared together on Broadway - she contemplated having an affair with him.
The pair shared the stage in a 1960 New York production of Camelot, and Andrews reveals a sexual chemistry between the two was obvious - even though they were both married; she to Tony Walton and Burton to Sybil Williams.
She reveals, "He was unbelievably attractive. He just oozed charisma.
"I am so glad he didn’t make any kind of a pass at me for many, many months.
I was happily married and I hope I would’ve been a good girl, but I couldn’t be sure. He was that attractive.
But when Burton eventually made a pass, she knocked him back: "There came a day when Richard did, in his way, make a sort of pass. And I got angry that he did it.
"I have to admit that Mary Poppins let fly with an Anglo Saxon four-letter-word. I told him where to go and how to get there. That resulted in another two bad performances."

Australian rocker NICK CAVE has given up writing songs on the piano preferring instead to use a children’s organ he bought his kids for Christmas.
The Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds rocker purchased a toy keyboard for his seven-year-old twin boys, Arthur and Earl, but liked the sound of the instrument so much he took it back and started penning tunes on it.
And Cave insists the toy organ features heavily on the band’s new album More News From Nowhere.
He says, "I tried to think what was the defining thing of the Bad Seeds over the last few years, and it was me sitting at a piano. So I thought, if we get rid of that, then the record’s gonna be different.
"My kids - the twins - got an organ for Christmas. It’s just a toy one, with a beat in it. So I took it off them and wrote four or five songs on that. You can’t write anything that isn’t joyous on this f**king thing."

Authorities in Austria have launched a nationwide search for a woman accused of stalking CSI: Miami star DAVID CARUSO, after she failed to appear in court on Wednesday (16Apr08) for the start of her trial.
The unnamed 41-year-old - whose identity is protected under the country’s privacy laws - was due to stand trial for stalking and threatening to kill Caruso at a court in Innsbruck.
But when the woman didn’t show on Wednesday morning, a judge issued a warrant for her arrest.
According to the public prosecutor’s office in her native province of Tyrol, the suspect has completely vanished, taking her laptop with her - despite her lawyer assuring authorities she would be attending the trial.
The woman is alleged to have bombarded Caruso with more than 100 letters in her attempt to get the TV star’s autograph. But when her repeated requests were snubbed, the suspect reportedly threatened the life of Caruso and his then-girlfriend Lisa Marquez in another letter.
A 2007 letter posted to the actor, said to be from the suspect, read: "I will locate you and your ugly Latina tramp and kill you." As the trial kicked off in Innsbruck on Wednesday, a court-appointed psychiatrist told the jury the woman had been suffering from a "profound personality disorder".
The woman was previously due to stand trial for the charges in July 2007, but the date was pushed back until now because she was abroad and failed to notify the court.
The suspect now faces up to three years behind bars if she is found guilty under Austria’s anti-stalking law, as well as the possibility of additional prison time for eluding justice.

Dance star MOBY is baffled by members of the public who have an intense dislike of him - because he considers it odd to be loathed by complete strangers.
The Play hitmaker is convinced Britain is the worst culprit, insisting that music fans and journalists in the U.K. all hate him for his outspoken views on politics and world climate.
But Moby can’t understand their hatred for him - as he is just like everybody else.
He tells Gigwise.com, "Some people seem to like me and some people seem to hate my guts, which is strange. I mean, it’s a very strange phenomenon being hated by people you’ve never met.
"Some journalists just seem to hate me and everything I do, and it’s disconcerting because I’ve never met this person. I don’t know what’s wrong with me that I can inspire such loathing in people I’ve never met.
"It seems a particular problem in the U.K., because a lot of people in the U.K. seem to think I’m some kind of self-righteous moralist, and actually nothing could be further from the truth.
"I have no problem if people hate me, but it seems a little strange when people hate me for the wrong reasons."

Rocker BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN has defended U.S. presidential hopeful BARACK OBAMA, insisting the Democrat’s comments about "bitter" small town Americans has been taken out of context.
Last week (12Apr08), Obama tried to explain to an audience in San Francisco, California, why he was struggling to win over white working class voters.
He told the crowd, "You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them.
"And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." The Illinois senator’s comments have stirred a lot of controversy since, but the Born To Run singer insists Obama’s words have been twisted to paint him in a bad light.
And he is adamant Obama is the best candidate for the U.S. presidency to repair the "terrible damage" the current leader, George W. Bush, has caused since 2000.
In a message to fans on his website, he writes, "Like most of you, I’ve been following the campaign and I have now seen and heard enough to know where I stand. Senator Obama, in my view, is head and shoulders above the rest.
"He speaks to the America I’ve envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems.
"At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships. While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man’s life and vision… often in order to distract us from discussing the real issues: war and peace, the fight for economic and racial justice, reaffirming our constitution, and the protection and enhancement of our environment."
