Wentworth Miller Reveals He Tried To Commit Suicide Before Coming Out

Posted on Mon Sep 9th, 2013 6:59am PDT       By X17 Staff

wentworth-miller-230.jpgWentworth Miller spoke at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner in Seattle on Saturday evening, and the 41-year-old actor revealed that when he was struggling with his sexuality at a young age, he tried to take his own life.

"The first time I tried to kill myself I was 15. I waited until my family went away for the family and I was alone in the house and I swallowed a bottle of pills," he told the audience. "I don't remember what happened over the next couple of days but I'm pretty sure come Monday morning I was on the bus back to school pretending everything was fine."

"Growing up I was a target. Speaking the right way, standing the right way, holding your wrist the right way. Every day was a test and there was a thousand ways to fail," he added. "A thousand ways to portray yourself to not live up to someone else's standards of what was accepted."

The former Prison Break star came out in August when he penned an open letter to the organizers of the St. Petersburg International Film Festival in Russia, stating that he could not attend an event in a country that has anti-gay laws.

Miller also admitted that he was nervous to come out early on in his career. "I had multiple opportunities to speak my truth, which is that I was gay, but I chose not to," he said. "I was out privately to family and friends -- publicly, I was not. I chose to lie -- when I thought about the possibility of coming out, how that might impact me and the career I worked so hard for, I was filled with fear."

We're not sure what's going on with Khloe Kardashian and estranged hubby Lamar Odom's marriage, but we do know this: Khloe has been hitting the gym like crazy since the news broke that Lamar was cheating on her and battling an alleged drug addiction.

Over the weekend Khloe and little sister Kendall posted these photos of themselves working out, and Khloe wrote, "KhloMoney and Kenya getting it in in the gym, stunna style!" Kendall added, "action shot! KhloeMoney workin on that booty #GetItGirl"

Not like Khloe really needs to do that much work on her derriere, but we did notice that she's slimmed down even more -- her legs are almost as slender as Kendall's!

Rather than lounging by the pool, Britney Spears is spending her weekend on the set of her upcoming music video "Work B*tch." How appropriate!

Late last night Brit posted the sexy pic above on Facebook and wrote, "Hot day on set... A little dirty, little flirty, danced my A** off. Stoked for tomorrow." The 31-year-old pop star is about to bust out of her yellow and black lingerie, but she's lookin' goooood!

The song reportedly samples RuPaul's hit "Supermodel (You Better Work)" ... can't wait to see this! And we're also quite excited about Brit's duet with Miley Cyrus, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer for that one.

Last week Good Morning America announced that Brit will be performing live on the show on September 17, and she'll give everyone the scoop on her Las Vegas residency gig. She's been a busy bee lately!

Report: Miley Cyrus' Vogue Cover Cancelled After Raunchy VMAs Performance

Posted on Sun Sep 8th, 2013 10:52am PDT       By X17 Staff

Miley Cyrus may have made "history" at the MTV Video Music Awards last month, but the 20-year-old starlet's raunchy performance with Robin Thicke may have also cost her the December cover of Vogue Magazine.

Anna Wintour has "been eager to champion [Miley] as a new fashion icon," according to the Daily Mail, but the Vogue EIC changed her mind after seeing Miley make obscene gestures with a foam hand in a pair of nude latex underwear at the VMAs. And let's not forget her grinding all over Mr. Thicke, who is married to Paula Patton. Classy!

"Anna found the whole thing distasteful," a source says. "She decided, based on Miley’s performance, to take the cover in a different direction."

Do you think Miley will ever be on the cover of Vogue? I mean, as HuffPo points out, they did put Kate Upton on the front of the glossy...

Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes may NEVER call a truce on Twitter, but yesterday the blonde starlets made nice on the soccer field to watch Brandi and ex-hubby Eddie Cibrian's son Jake play soccer. "It's 105 degrees for our first soccer game deep in the valley! #uggg," Brandi tweeted.

Though the two were sitting practically next to each other, they didn't speak a word, and when the game was over, LeAnn lured her hubby over for a kiss:

Brandi probably wasn't nuts about their PDA though -- two hours later the skinny blonde added, "I'm done with ALL men! #lesbianpillplease." Yikes!

Charlie Hunnam Is Happy To Be On His Hog

Posted on Sun Sep 8th, 2013 9:00am PDT       By X17 Staff



X17 photographers snapped Charlie Hunnam cruising around Hollywood on his Harley Davidson on Saturday, and the Sons of Anarchy star was in a great mood. And why shouldn't he be? After the news hit the web last week that the British actor was cast as the male lead in the big screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey, he's totally blown up!

Later in the evening Charlie appeared at the season six premiere of SOA at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, and he chatted with The Hollywood Reporter about his upcoming role.

When asked how he gets along with co-star Dakota Johnson, Charlie said, “As soon as we got in the room and started reading with Dakota, I knew that I definitely wanted to do it, because there was a tangible chemistry between us. It felt kind of exciting and fun and weird and compelling, and so that was it.”

So what about the sex scenes? “My first job was on a Channel 4 miniseries called Queer as Folk," Charlie said. "It was incredibly explicit sexual scenes with a man. I mean I’m 16 and 17 years wiser now. So if I could do it when I was 18 with a guy, I can certainly do it at 33 with a lady.”

And how does his longtime girlfriend Morgana McNelis feel about it? “It’s very hard to be with an actor. She’s required to share parts of me that she wouldn’t really want to share. With the nature of this role, that’s going to be times 10 … She read them and loved them and was really excited about the potential of the opportunity for me. If anything, I think it will make us closer," he said.
