Hollywood goes Bi crazy!

Tinseltown is going bisexual crazy! It’s an out and out flesh-romp that seems to have the full backing of the planets most glamorous industry and it’s being served up to us everywhere, from the billboards in your neighborhood to the big-screen blockbusters.

Just a few years ago Hollywood seemed stuck in their perpetual closeting of anything too saucy bedroom wise, slowly however the trend has turned. Over the last few years bi and homosexuality has become forgivable, then fashionable, then bankable and now some are saying it has become exploited.

So what does this mean exactly? Well what those in the know are suggesting is that when you see shots of Paris Hilton lip-locking with some new femme-squeeze, there could be more PR at play than actually lust or passion. Bisexuality has become uber-chic in recent times and Hollywood has embraced it wholeheartedly, of course you can tell the stayers from the players. Widely considered the world’s hottest woman, Angelina Jolie dated actress/model Jenny Shimizu during the nineties and has been open about her attraction to both sexes, has it hurt her box-office pull? No not really. And if Ellen and Portia are playing it up for the sake of their careers, they really are committed to the lie!

The worth of a bisexual tag seems to work more for the ladies than the gents with a bevy of marquee girls brandishing the bi-tag in the media. Names like Lindsay Lohan, Tila Tequila, Pink, Paris Hilton just to name a few have been snapped in all-girl embraces. You must recall the televised and re-televised Britney-Madonna snog during the 2003 MTV awards… were they actually hot in the pants for one another? Maybe; but more than likely it was the first major coup on cashing-in on the same-sex soiree card. You have to admit, the media ate it up.

So while the tabloids are happy to shoot Hollywood beauties entangled in mad, boozy gender-stacked romps, but if they were to portray the lifestyle on the big screen would it be so cool? Would it be frowned upon? Would it hurt them resume wise?

Well that old stigma seems to be lifting too. Gay and bi characters have been making inroads on the screen in shows like Will and Grace, Six Feet Under, Brothers and Sisters. So with Hollywood writers embracing a more accurate representation of our society you can expect the presence of bisexuality in modern media content to increase.

So this is where we need to exercise some intelligence and personal character; yes, the fact that the film and television industry are openly celebrating sexual diversity is excellent, but it should only serve to help us all accept, enjoy and flaunt our own desires rather than pushing us to model ourselves on something we’ve seen up in lights, or on the pages on another celeb-fulled magazine.

All that said, roll-on the sexy fun times in La-La Land; for those who really feel it, go with it baby! As we always say here at the Pie, sex and sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of, so bi all means… do what ya feel and feel what ya do!
