Unalphabetized
Lukas Gage is keeping his sexuality to himself. The actor, 27, has often played LGBTQ+ characters, but he won’t publicly self-identify. Last year, a Twitter user criticized the “You” star for his choice in characters, claiming he was stealing LGBTQ+ roles that should go to people who are part of the community. “u don’t know my alphabet,” he replied. Luke recently spoke to the New York Times about the backlash he’s received for playing LGBTQ+ characters. In referencing his “alphabet” message, he said he’s pressured “all the time” to come clean about his sexuality. “An agent that dropped me was like, ‘Stop dyeing your hair, stop wearing weird clothes and pick a lane: gay, bi or straight. It’s too confusing,'” he said. “I understand representation and voices that need to be heard, but I don’t want to do anything on anyone’s accord but my own. Let me do it when I’m ready. And it’s acting. I feel like everyone should get the opportunity to play whatever they want.” Lukas has been linked to several famous Hollywood men, but nothing has ever been confirmed, nor is he rushing to declare himself… nor does he have to.

Ex factor
Tiger Woods and his team are adamantly denying that the golfer and his ex, Erica Herman, had any kind of verbal agreement relating to her living situation. On the heels of the couple’s split, Erica filed a $30 million lawsuit in which she claimed Tiger promised to support her and let her live in his house for at least five more years in return for unspecified “services.” Team Tiger is balking her her claims. “During their relationship, Mr. Woods invited Ms. Herman to live with him as his guest in the Residence,” his team said in court documents, which were obtained by TMZ. “Mr. Woods never negotiated an oral tenancy agreement with Ms. Herman. Nor was there ever a written tenancy agreement between Mr. Woods or the Trust, on the one hand, and Ms. Herman, on the other hand. Mr. Woods never transferred to Ms. Herman any ownership interest in or rights of possession to the Residence.” The Florida home is partly owned by a trust. Erica has claimed that not only was she booted from the house in unceremonious fashion, she is asking a judge to release her from the NDA she signed at the beginning of the five-year relationship. Tiger’s team has called her nothing more than a “jilted” ex-girlfriend.

Not your sample size
Priyanka Chopra is not a one-size-fits-all kind of woman. While speaking to Amazon Studios’ Jennifer Salke, the actress spoke candidly about Hollywood standards. “I’ve been told many things that are difficult to hear. In my job, the pressure is so intense you can’t really show the chinks in your armor,” she said, per People. “Someone told me yesterday that I wasn’t sample-sized… I was hurt and I discussed it with my family and I cried to my husband [Nick Jonas], and my team, and I felt really bad about the fact that I’m not sample size, and that’s a problem, apparently, and most of us are not and sample size is size two.”
