Jodie Foster comes out... finally
The notoriously private Oscar-winning actress has acknowledged her lesbian partner in public for the first time

After guarding her private life fiercely for 15 years, Hollywood actress Jodie Foster has publicly acknowledged her lesbian partner.
The Oscar-winning actress thanked "my beautiful Cydney" after winning an award at the Women in Entertainment Power 100 breakfast in Los Angeles.
She went on to praise Cydney Bernard, saying the film producer "sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss".
Despite more than a decade of speculation, questions over the paternity of her two sons and critics calling for her be “out and proud”, Foster has refused to discuss her sexuality.
The 44-year-old maintained her silence when, earlier this year, gay American magazine Out put a picture of her on its cover above the words “The glass closet – why the stars won’t come out and play.” Inside, it was argued “the stars aren’t willing to make the jump to being officially labelled queer and all that it represents in the business.”
Now that Foster has, reactions are mixed. On American website Gay.com, readers posted comments praising the actress for coming out, while others expressed anger that it was considered news.
“It is her life to live as she pleases. Why do so many gays worry about who is and who is not gay?” asked one reader
“Whether or not Jodie comes out is definitely her own decision, but she would provide an excellent positive role model to GLBT [gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender] people everywhere. I think that is why we get excited when someone comes out,” posted another.
Foster is one of only a few Hollywood actresses to have publicly acknowledged they are lesbian. Comedian Ellen de Generes made headlines when she came out in 1997, as did her partner Portia de Rossi when she was photographed kissing then girlfriend Francesca Gregorini in 2001.
Foster reportedly met Bernard on the set of Sommersby in 1993. The actress later gave birth to sons Charles, 9, and Kit, 6.
The actress found world-wide fame at 14, playing a prostitute opposite Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver before going on to star in Bugsy Malone, Freaky Friday, The Silence of the Lambs and Nell.
Her latest movie Nim’s Island is due for release in May next year.
Jodie being gay is no secret so big whoop. What I detest are these magazines who believe it is their mission to out anyone they think is gay and the homos who are pissed because it took her so long to reveal her sexuality. The ones who scream “invasion of privacy” all the time should heed their own words.
My grandmother didn't, she loved the guy and Lawrence Welk too...... I was just a real young kid back in those days and had never heard of homosexuals. I only thought the guy was just plain weird........
” Overrated and unwatchable.!”
Agree 1000%
I believe, my boy, you are 100% correct!!!
I wish these self-absorbed idiots would stop giving us personal information that we don’t want or need. Shut up, already!
No, haven't seen it yet. I usually wait until they come out on DVD, then rent it. As I said in an earlier post, I guess I've had a crush on Jodie since "The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane." I had always assumed that she was about a year older than me, but I guess from the article, I'm about a year older than her. I always have to qualify that thing about the crush and the movie, so people don't think I'm a pedophile! lol.

LOL, I’m afraid I’m with your husband. She’s hot. “What? She’s a lesbian?”... Well, she’s still hot, I can see why a woman would want her too. :-)
When she filmed a movie in Cincinnati a decade or so ago, a friend of mine was hired as a set painter. He said she would always sit down and eat lunch with the crew, and that her ‘partner’ was around quite a bit.
Its not news she’s ‘gay’. What is ‘news’ is she’s pleasant to everybody she meets, when not ‘in the open’ and subject to the kooks.

You have support.
One (Johnny Whittaker?) said he was the first to kiss Jodie Foster on-screen.
One of the others said "And look what you did to her."
Before i knew she was a lesbian I knew she was just a little too butch or tomboyish, let's say. So you're right, i can see a lesbian wanting her. But there are much nicer looking actresses than her. Ashley Judd is cute. Sandra Bullock is cute. These are earthy types who don't come off as butch, and also don't come off the way, say, Nicole Kidman or Charlize Theron do. Those two don't seem real. From a womans perspective anyway, that's not sexy. How can you be sexy when you seem to have no personality? Nevermind. Don't answer that.
Cat Cora is a lesbian?!? I didn’t know that.
And I suppose she is the "macho" in the 'relationship?'... or do they flip a coin? don't know much about that stuff...LOL
The last time I saw a face like Julia Roberts’, it had a hook in its mouth.
And yes, Tea Leoni is absolutely hot.
Besides, Julia aint exactly filled in in the right places, if you catch my drift.
