Jodie Foster Finally Comes Out!

But if the spotlight's already on you, just ignoring it doesn't make it turn off. Foster has been in the spotlight since like age 5. I'm thinking she's equipped.

But I also think what she did was smart in a way. It does keep the spotlight on you longer if you're ambiguous about it. In that case, I think it benefitted her.

The spotlight was, as it should have been, on her acting, not her personal life. Just because other people want to make her personal life an issue doesn't require her to respond to it.

She's been in the public spotlight all her life but she hasn't gone out of her way to have her private life spotlighted. She didn't do a reality show. She doesn't court publicity for her private life in any way. I don't think it means she's hiding anything, she's just a private person.

And thank the gods for that. Unfortunately, I learned far more about Scott Baio's private life than I ever needed to know, thanks to reality television.

I'm with you there. I could only take about one episode of that one.

Normally, I will not watch shows that exploit the private lives of actors, but since he willingly did it, my curiosity got the best of me.

I never needed to know that Joanie really did "love" Chachie.
