Now that Mike Myers's magic spell has been broken with the universally-hated The Love Guru, it seems that everyone is coming out of the woodwork to say how much they hate the guy. A long article in Entertainment Weekly even implied that he was so socially stunted that he probably has Asperger's. But you know what? Mike isn't feeling bad about all the haters. He's quite happy. Gay, you might even say. Yesterday, the NYDN ran this blind item:
Which divorced comic superstar is exploring a groovy new real-life persona: that of an openly gay man?
Later that day, Gawker ran this bit:
Some of you commenters told us that the guy we were all guessing. Mike Myers, star of the "groovy baby" catchphrase-apalooza Austin Powers films and the current dud The Love Guru, has been out 'n proud in Toronto for years.
Frankly, we still weren't convinced. Until we read this item from Page Six:
MIKE Myers wants his demands met. The comic made an appearance on NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" Wednesday to promote "The Love Guru," but he drove backstage staffers bonkers while he waited to go on. "He sent a team of interns on a wild goose chase for Silk nondairy creamer, Twizzlers and raspberry seltzer," said our witness. "Then he sent one of the interns back out to get him a new drink when he realized his seltzer was not the brand he requested."
Twizzlers, raspberry seltzer, and nondairy creamer? He may as well have demanded the new Room & Board catalog, a DVD comp of Fanny Brice's greatest screen moments, and directions to the closest A.P.C. store.
