Heath Ledger is in negotiations to take on another big gay movie role that isn't entirely clear cut.

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.

Willie Nelson has released a new song about the kind of love that happens between two men on the wide open range. The Texas country music icon says of "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other" that "the song's been in the closet for 20 years. The timing's right for it to come out. 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."

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly look back at Rebel Without a Cause and reveals that there was a plan for the film to include a kiss between James Dean and Sal Mineo. Warner Brothers, however, wasn't up for it. “While vetting the Rebel script, Warner honcho Steve Trilling made it clear - in writing - that a kiss between Dean and Mineo would not be tolerated." It didn't stop Director Nicholas Ray from painting the portrait though. He asked asked a teenage Mineo what he wanted most in life. “‘My driver’s license," Mineo said. "Fine," Ray said. "Look at Jimmy as if he’s your driver’s license." Beyond the obvious adoration, the film is chock full of clues regarding Plato’s sexual preference too, like the 8x10 glossy of Alan Ladd hanging in his high school locker.

Four years ago, South Korean superstar Harisu starred in an advertisement for a cosmetic company. In the ad, gazing at the camera, she laughed and tilted her head back to reveal an Adam’s apple - only the Adam’s apple had to be computer generated because hers had already been removed. The advertisement created a huge sensation, especially when Harisu went public with the fact that she is a transsexual, and she's been on the world map ever since. She's written two books – her autobiography "Harisu, Eve from Adam" and "Goddess of Metamorphosis," as well as become a recording artist and launched an acting career. Li Ee Kee

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.

"But I'm a Cheerleader" star Natasha Lyonne is fighting for her life in a New York hospital, after being found with hepatitis C, a heart infection, and a collapsed lung. She's also undergoing methadone treatment, which of course implies that she's been, y'know, shooting smack or taking care of some sort of opiate addiction. The official story is that she's contracted hepatitis C while in Bulgaria shooting the 2001 film, "The Grey Zone," but rumor has it she was found recently with track marks on her arms - and for those not in the know, most injection drug users will contract Hep C within mere months of shooting dope.
