Heath Ledger to play Rock Hudson?
Heath Ledger is in negotiations to take on another big gay movie role that isn't entirely clear cut. The Brokeback Mountain star who earned himself a Best Actor Oscar nomination is currently the frontrunner to play Hollywood icon and rather legendary closet case Rock Hudson who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1985. According to Aint it Cool News, a major movie spoiler site, an inside source said, "After playing a straight man who has a gay relationship, Heath Ledger will do a 180 and play a gay man who has a straight relationship." His next role is playing a heroin addict in Neil Armfield's "Candy." The film is based on a Luke Davies novel.

I'm just opening the door." Nelson recorded a song for the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack, a melancholy ballad entitled "He Was a Friend of Mine."

Rice's decor, a mix of white space and midcentury Italian and American furniture, "with some splashes of `70s" is something Allen says, "We like to refer to it as `70s cocaine palace." Tran Ha

Terry Coleman's new authorized biography of Sir Laurence Olivier, appropriately titled "Olivier," delves lightly into letters sent to the actor that seem to dismantle the contention made in Donald Spoto's biography that Olivier had a long-term passionate gay relationship with Danny Kaye, while putting forward a new proposition that Olivier had an affair with Henry Ainley, an actor twice his age who was married with a son. Ainley's letters certainly aren't butch either.
