Both Hilton and Musto have a far easier time keeping track of their editorial standards because they both do believe in outing. Musto, who was the first person to report -- in tandem with Page Six -- that DeGeneres and Anne Heche were dating, has been writing about closeted gay celebrities for many years. "It might seem shocking, but there were days when Ellen and Rosie [O'Donnell] and Boy George and George Michael were not out, and I was running pieces about them being gay," he said.
It wasn't always easy. "I did get vilified in the old days," Musto said, sounding wistful. "Like I was considered a lunatic."
The day after her birthday party at Teddy's at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Lohan called radio show and said she'd like to spend the next year "being with the person that I care about," among other gender-neutral phrasings that Seacrest -- uncharacteristically -- didn't ask her to elaborate on. Is Lohan getting closer to more specific nouns and pronouns, particularly if one of the celebrity magazines will pay her a big check to do so, as has been rumored?
