Guy Ritchie Sings Showtunes at NYC Gay Bar
Looks as though a certain longstanding West Village gay bar has become the hotspot for straight celebs to mingle with gays in New York. In December, Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick was spotted there, and last night Guy Ritchie apparently exercised his vocal chops there:
Page Six reports: "Madge's ex, who's in town directing 'Sherlock Holmes,' hit Marie's Crisis, the venerable Grove Street gay haunt where customers sing show tunes. While Madonna was busy elsewhere in town posing for pictures with her new boytoy, Jesus Luz, Ritchie sang along to 'Tomorrow' from 'Annie' with 'two hot chicks and a gay guy,' our witness said"
And no, the gay guy wasn't Jason Statham, or Ed Westwick.
I wouldn't call it a gay bar, as it is named in the title.

If this is true, it sure dispels the assertions that Madge's brother made in his book about Guy being homophobic! I always found that suspect, it would take someone of enormous confidence to stay with Madonna and her icon status as long as he did and a person with true confidence is not going to be homophobic.
And that pic of him with Jason Statham is stimulating my fantasy world *way* too much! ;-)

So Guy Ritchie does something and it's then considered a trend?
I thought I was reading Us magazine for a second.
Unless Ed Westwick was supposed to be illustrative a hetero celebrity?

Guy Ritchie, whatever, but if Jason Statham showed up at Marie's, I'd be there every fucking night.
Maxx: Marie's is welcoming to everyone, but it certainly qualifies as a gay bar to me.

Totally agree with David. If Jason Statham showed up, man, oh man, I'd be there in a jiff.

Anybody got footage of Ed Westwick singing show tunes? If so put it up on You Tube tout suite!

Still my favorite NYC piano bar.
I practically lived there for a while in 88.
