Michelle Rodriguez, on why the strong female characters she plays always get killed: Because I don't take my clothes off, and I'm nobody's girlfriend.

Michelle Rodriguez is Very Angry You Think She's a Lesbian

Actress Michelle Rodriguez is angry. Very, very angry. Between belches, she rants to Latina magazine about those who wonder about her sexuality and tells them what they can go do with themselves.

Says Rodriguez: "What the majority of [people] want to know is what I'm doing with my vagina, and I think that that's sick. What do you care who I'm dating? I can tell when somebody just wants to know about sex. And it makes me sick....Every time you see a woman who walks down the street, you think, 'is she f*ckable? Any woman who is in some way f*ckable, you know, if she's beautiful, or if she has a nice body, you wonder what kind of things that person does with their private area. It's a very perverse way of thinking, but it's the way that the majority of adults in the United States and around the world think. Or the porn industry wouldn't be the highest grossing industry in the world."

On why people think she's a lesbian:

"I think that they wonder because I'm such a tomboy. And I don't care about what I look like most of the time. You'll see me walking around in my jeans for the most part. I'm pretty much a tough ass. You don’t see that type of s**t in a lot of women( she says, before a long pause). Sorry, I just had to knock out that burp."

Of the bloggers and journalists constantly trying to out her, she says:

"I picture them turning into pigs, slime coming out the side of their mouth, and I picture them jerking off. I don't answer those questions. I just keep it to myself and it's nobody's business. If I wanna f*ck a girl, a boy, a dog—that's my business. That's why there's bathroom doors."

C'mon, tell us how you really feel. But get another beer first.

Madonna cuts $100 million+ deal with Live Nation. NYT: "The deal, which was first reported yesterday on The Wall Street Journal’s Web site, is the latest example of how tough times for record labels and concert promoters have set off a free-for-all over the rights to the various revenue streams created when a musician becomes a star. Instead of sharing in only one piece of the income — say, CD sales — companies are angling to share in all of an artist’s business lines, like publishing, merchandise sales and endorsement fees."

Young Frankenstein's Broadway transition experiences pre-opening controversy: "The latest members of the Down-on-Mel Club are some members of the Dramatists Guild - furious at him for not paying his dues - and a small but vocal group of gay people who work backstage and bristle at what they believe are some insensitive jokes in the show."

'We were making enough noise to get noticed,' said Montgomery, who remembers living off his savings when the organization got started. Today, the Triangle Foundation is one of the state's leading gay rights and advocacy organizations with a $1 million budget and programming that ranges from victim services to camps for gay, lesbian and transgender youth."

Michelle Rodriguez Rants Against Curve for Outing Her

Lost actress Michelle Rodriguez has lashed out at lesbian magazine Curve on her website forum for "outing her.

Says Rodriguez: "If I were Ellen I may get away with: ‘ The I’m Gay’ level of exposure, but I’m not a comedian, I like men; ( real One’s Anyway) and I’ve only bin in this business for 7 years not 20. Years of recognition can give a person lots of leverage especially if you have many years of positive recognition under your belt. There are certain things that can close doors between a celebrity and certain audiences. Especially in a world where walls are constantly being put up by people seeking comfort and groups to belong to. There is so much out there, over-saturation of music, media, Agenda News, war, political drama, high school prom drama, image drama, religion drama, Bully drama. All this drama is caused by one thing, not understanding the true meaning of communication and the real power behind it. It’s tough to learn, I’m working on it myself, but when people come out of nowhere and put words in my mouth or call me Gay, they should really think for one second How they could truly affect my life by doing such things. You don’t know what producer, director, would be husband or future audience member may be influenced by these opinions and media content."

Actually, I think it was Rodriguez' 'girlfriend' Kristanna Loken who outed her, in an interview with the Advocate last November.

More on the forum.

Actress Michelle Rodriguez Outed by Girlfriend?

Actress Michelle Rodriguez has never come out publicly but she might as well think about it now that Kristanna Loken has given a revealing at-home interview to The Advocate.

When asked about rumors of their involvement on the set of the film BloodRayne, Loken replies, "There is the $64,000 question. Um…I don’t even know how to answer that."

Finally, after suggesting the two had a lot of fun partying together, Loken says, "Just don’t look upstairs, OK?"
