Tabloids are on a new mission these days - to make celebs 'come out of the closet' so-as-to-speak - even if they happen to be straight.
New York, May 3 : Tabloids are on a new mission these days - to make celebs 'come out of the closet' so-as-to-speak - even if they happen to be straight.
Freelance write Marlise Elizabeth Kast has penned a new tell-all about the tabloid biz, and reveals in her book 'Tabloid Prodigy' the lengths that editors will go to make their stories sell.
Kast reveals in her book how editors at Globe asked her to probe whether best pals Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio's friendship was hiding a deeper 'secret'.
Kast got in touch with the 'Spider-Man' star's mother Wendy, who unwittingly gave the editors ammunition by "divulging details of how the two friends 'shared a bed and wore ribbons in their hair'," reports the New York Post.
Wendy told Kast: "Those two are just free-spirited guys. Most of the friends they hang around with are gay. They're comfortable with that. But I think Leo and Tobey are the crossover between men and women. They have feminine traits they are willing to accept. They aren't ashamed to have any sort of title, even if that means someone calling them gay."
And while the author herself wasn't about to claim the stars were gay, "Wendy had provided exactly what the editors wanted - insinuations", she says in her book.
The news of Maguire and DiCaprio's 'relationship' made headlines news, and prompted the actors to issue statements denying the reports.
Kast also reveals that what made Maguire and DiCaprio's 'gay' relationship a little difficult to believe, was the fact that not only had the actors dated a host of beautiful women, but also that, along with David Blaine and Lukas Haas, they were members of the 'P---y Posse'.
DiCaprio is currently dating Israeli bombshell Bar Refaeli, while Maguire is already planning his wedding to fiancée Jennifer Meyer, with whom he has a daughter named Ruby.
'Tabloid Prodigy' is out this month from Running Press.
