If the genders were reversed, we'd all just assume the older, uglier one was the one with the money.

@picardia: Reminds me of the dream I had last night where David Gest watched Hugh Jackman wrestle Peter Allen Greco-Roman style over who would play fag to Liza's hag.

@scroll_lock: Good point, but I think Liza falls into the "fag hag" exception to the category, just like her mom. Cannot speak to the faghagness of Deborah Furness, although her makeup is certainly a whole lot less scary than late-stage Liza. Or for that matter David Gest.

I always figured he married someone older 'cause he has some mommy issues - not 'cause she's a beard. Besides, what's the point of bothering with a beard and kids if you're just gonna go prance around in musicals? That's not a beard, that's a soul patch.

@picardia: "The famous do not serve as beards for the unfamous". Now we're quoting Liza with a Z as told to David Gest? (Maybe now he qualifies as infamous)

Kelly Preston's too hot to be a beard, too. But I agree with you about Kevin Kline.

@scroll_lock: When they married, though, Jackman's wife was a much bigger star (in Australia, granted) than he was. The famous do not serve as beards for the unfamous. That also might explain the "hotness gap."

Jackman does kind of ping gay for me, but I've been wrong before. I mean, Kevin Kline spent the 1970s and 80s prancing around on stage in tights, but his wife is Phoebe ("You will never forget me taking off my swimsuit top in Ridgemont High") Cates, so nobody thinks she's a beard.

@Dragonfruit: I can't imagine a lot of people care if his *wife* was roommates with Bea Arthur, kd lang and Melissa Etheridge in a one bedroom walkup.

A lot of people find John Travolta, Tom Cruise and Kevin Spacey hot like Hugh, also..but Jodie Foster prolly isn't one of those people.

Has it occurred to anyone *he* might be a beard for *her*? I read somewhere she used to be roommates with Nicole Kidman--take that where you wanna take it. I don't really get a G reading on Jackman. As for the high kicks and penchant for musicals, it might be an Oz thing, where it's not necessarily sissy to burst into song & dance & stuff.

I don't really care, just as long as he continues to exist and remain, as Muhlyssa pointed out: hot.

Yawn. Who cares. Hugh is talented and hot. His wife Deb is sweet and talented too (she made a great short film a few years ago). He loves his kids and he's hot. Did I mention he's hot?

Compelling evidence that Hugh Jackman is so not gay

1. Penchant for lavish musicals a latent hetero trait
2. Older, trannyesque wife bears no resemblance to Elton John's wife Renate Blauel
3. Penned as yet unpublished memoir, "Why I'm Straight"
4. Right part portraying Winston Churchill just not offered yet, Peter Allen role was
5. Just as comfy in sequins and midriff baring blouses as the next straight guy

Gee- maybe the fact that he publicly thanked his "business partner" (cut to shot of overly tanned. frosted total 'mo) at the last Tony awards might have had something to do with that.

Of course, down under fake bake and bad highlights may be totally hetero...

While I don't think he's gay, we'll probably find out that early on in his career, Hugh Jackman changed his name from Studs Cunnilingus to get meetings with theater casting directors.

The less-than-movie-star-beautiful older wife with whom he vehemently doesn't wish breed is only a small part of the equation.

First off, Jackman loves musicals. I mean, he absolutely adores musicals. He's practically on his back with his legs in the air at the sound of the Broadway cast recording of Flower Drum Song. He's paraded around stage dressed in tight Marlboro Man jeans-and-look-at-my-hairy-chest combos in Oklahoma! and Carousel, and he's stooping so low as to do an episodic remake of Viva Blackpool for CBS. For a star of his relative stature to stoop to episodic television is generally considered a bad career choice. But he's a sucker for a musical. Oh, and then there's that prominent role as leather man fetish object Wolverine in Brian Singer's two-part masterwork of gay subtext, X-Men and X-Men 2.

But, come to think of it, why would anyone think he's gay? Now let's all fluff out our chest hair and put on the cast recording to Company!

To be honest, my gaydar doesn't go off for Hugh Jackman. Sure, sure, I'll be proven wrong some day when he and Kevin Spacey are prancing around swinging a couple of patent leather Prada knockoff purses, but until then I am counting him in the hetero column.

i actually think hugh j.'s wife is pretty ( for as old as she and he must be) and i'm one of the gays. this sounds more like a "wanta be/wish he is" situation. besides, can't he still be "gay" and love a fabulous woman?

Since "The View" will now be a big snoozefest w/out Rosie, they seem to have pulled a 360, resorting to making subtle jabs at former co-host Star & and her spouse Al, what with all of the gay hubby talk At least that's my guess.

They have officially run out of compelling topics. Time to pull the plug on this show.

Alright. Not like this is a fool-proof test or anything, but if you go to his IMDB profile and look at all his pictures, and think "gay," pretty much that's all you see is sequin jumpsuit, air-kiss-kiss, Abby on Saturday night gay.

Then if you look at those same pictures and think "straight"... you still see sequins and poll dancing cabana boys.

I don't really think there is any kind of stable forum for debate on the matter.

(Again, nothin' to do today.)
