Hey Zarina:

When a person projects herself into the public eye and becomes a celebrity, she then gives up all rights when it comes to controlling what's said about her. That's the price of fame. And I think Lucy Lawless understands that. I don't think she cares what people think about her sexual orientation. She's not homophobic. (If she were, she wouldn't be playing the character, Xena, who apparently has a bent toward the lesbian side.) She just got married in March, so that should settle the question right there. People are always gonna talk, especially about someone as fascinating as Lucy Lawless. Let them talk. She's still making the big $$$.
