Speculation about celebrities' sexual preferences has always been an item of interest and more than one career has been ruined by either revelation or rumor.

These days however, a celebrity's "coming out" can actually result in increased popularity as in the case of Ellen DeGeneres. Of course being tremendously talented hasn' t hurt Ellen, shown above with previous lover, Anne Heche, who these days is more intrigued with male plumbing.

In fact, Ellen is being promoted to God-like status, at least in Hollywood. She's signed up to play God in the remake of "Oh God."

Earlier this year, in San Francisco, Rosie O'Donnell married her long-time companion, Kelli Carpenter, with whom she has been raising 4 kids.

This union was the highest profile wedding of all the same-sex marriages performed in that city, while it was legal. Politicians and moralists are still rabidly campaigning to have these marriages deemed illegal.

In fact, the issue is a hot item for the Presidential candidates, ranking right up there with the war in Iraq. That's some serious bedroom snooping!

Here's a site with a list of women purported, or at least, hoped by some, to be bi-sexual. It's quite a diverse list and bear in mind, I don't invent these things; I just dig them out for my readers: "Lesbian Worlds." You decide.
