National Enquirer
So it seems as though Richard Simmons is pulling a Bruce Jenner and transitioning into a woman, so says The National Enquirer.

The gossip rag is reporting that the reason that the fitness guru has been in hiding for over two years is because he's transitioned. Previously, it's been reported that the TV personality has been held hostage in his home by his controlling housekeeper (a claim that he has denied), but a desire to avoid the public eye due to his transition would certainly explain his absence from society!

The outlet is also showcasing some frilly photos of the 67-year-old draped in furs at his Hollywood Hills Home. They look pretty absurd if you ask us ...

The site, which is reporting that the workout icon has had breast impacts, hormones and castration surgery, also says that a source tells the publication, “[This is] not just Richard Simmons in drag. This is Richard dressed as a softly spoken woman named Fiona!”

We're waiting to see any evidence of the transition -- but if Simmons has become a woman, we hope she comes out. We think she'd make a super fun lady!

BTW: a rep for the fitness guru told FOX411 that the report is false. Simmons' publicist said that the report is, “Not true and a complete fabrication."
