While I love reading Page Six first thing as much as the next guy, the New York Post needs to realize that the following blind item, if true, is terrible, awful, serious, criminal behavior. Instead of having everyone scratch their heads saying "Hmm...wonder who it is?", they should have asked the tipster for some evidence before printing it not only for libel/slander reasons but also to pass onto the Police. This is not salacious gossip. This is criminal and shows how marginalized rape has become in our culture.
"August 18, 2008 --
WHICH hunk in a summer movie is a violent, closeted homosexual? The heartthrob snuck into his ex's apartment a few months ago and raped him so violently, the ex ended up in the hospital - and the actor paid him $500,000 to keep his mouth shut."
The tabloid media is always going too far, but this (and tell me if you agree) really scared me on so many levels. I hope the truth comes out. Speeding healing thoughts to the victim, who knows that the payoff won't fix his psyche.

liz,
why do you believe it's true?
i wouldn't trust anything that a sleazy tabloid like Page Six said without independent verification!

Well, I said "if true" and there's a reason. Richard and Paula are known not to print speculative items that don't have some sort of verification. Despite being a tabloid sheet, they are very careful. Look at the Enquirer - they hit the nail on the head with the Edwards-Hunter fracas. Page Six will never out the person, if the story is true, but they'll print this.
I just feel it belongs a) nowhere, or b) being investigated and not in Page Six.
