New Head Of Disney Studios Openly Gay
Interesting pick up from Kevin Broderick over at LA Observed who noticed that the Los Angeles Times columnist Patrick Goldstein discusses the sexual orientation of Rich Ross in his blog for the paper. Ross, who was recently named to head Walt Disney Studios after longtime studio head Dick Cook was fired a little over two weeks ago, has a male partner of over 20 years and is comfortably out. Ross becomes the first openly gay head of a Hollywood studio, although rumors have long swirled around Diane Von Furstenberg's husband (Barry Diller).
Maybe a sequel to Kirby Dick's Outrage is in order on Hollywood?
