Gay men and straight women have been natural allies for years, sharing relationship horror stories and top billing on popular '90s sitcoms. And now that there are so many out and proud celebrities, and such adorable ones, too, that we don't see any reason why we should limit our crushes to heterosexuals. Here are seven of our favorite famous gay men, and the reasons we love them so (yes, like that).

People has named Johnny Depp this year's Sexiest Man Alive, dethroning Hugh Jackman and beating out likely challengers Robert Pattinson, Gerard Butler, and our own Tom Miller. (Paul Newman has captured the Sexiest Man No Longer With Us title in his first year of eligibility.) Reached on his private island in the Bahamas, Johnny had no comment on reclaiming the world title for the first time since 2003, because he knows he's sexy, pshaw. Somewhere, Matt Damon, George Clooney, and Brad Pitt are drinking themselves into a sexy, slurring stupor.

In the past, Carrie has been linked to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, The Bachelor's Travis Stork, and Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford, which we … Read More

Farrah Fawcett had the bad luck to pass away the same day as Michael Jackson, but that doesn't mean we've forgotten about her, now that we've been disappointed by This Is It. Today we learn that Farrah left the majority of her estate to her son, Redmond, and gave bequests to her college boyfriend, her father, and her nephew, but did not include her longtime partner, Ryan O'Neal, in her will.

This week Rihanna spoke at length for the first time about the night in February when ex-boyfriend Chris Brown beat her so severely she had to cancel her performance at the Grammy Awards the next day. In interviews with Diane Sawyer and Glamour magazine, the pop star spoke about overcoming the shame of being in an abusive relationship, the humiliation of having a police photo of her injuries leaked to TMZ.com, channeling her anger into her new album, and being a role model to other women suffering at the hands of a loved one.

Lindsay Price, whom you may recognize from Lipstick Jungle, this season's Eastwick, or the short-lived NBC remake of Coupling, lost both her boyfriend, How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor, and her job this week when ABC execs announced they were shutting down Eastwick. The Wednesday-night show, based on the John Updike novel The Witches of Eastwick and the 1987 film starring Jack Nicholson, had been struggling to attract an audience.

Lindsay is fast turning into the 2000s version of famous showkillers Paula Marshall or Ted McGinley. The poor girl just can't seem … Read More

Unlike last year, the Gosselin Christmas won't be filmed for TLC, but this year will have the sideshow of both parents trying not to rip each other's throats out. Ah, just like when … Read More

Brad's name is reportedly not on the papers filed with the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, which could bode ill.

Brad and Angelina have five kids under the age of five, plus oldest son Maddox, who's eight. Add two high-powered movie careers and all … Read More
