According to director Brett Ratner, it’s a pretty common occurrence for a straight guy to “unknowingly” receive oral sex from a transvestite and joke about it with his equally unsuspecting buddies.

Yeah right Brett, straight guys always sit around watching football, drinking beer and talking about the chicks with dicks they scored with the night before.

In a recent interview with The Advocate’s Paul Pratt, the director of such cinema classics as X-Men: The Last Stand and Rush Hour 1 & 2, defended himself against accusations that the latest installment in the Rush Hour franchise features anti-gay humor, by claiming one scene in particular is actually a page out of his own life:

Advocate: What about when the girl takes off her wig and Chris Tucker becomes angry and accuses her of being a man?

Ratner: No, no! That’s from my personal experience. My first blow job was from a man, but I didn’t know it was a man. That’s where that comes from. It’s based on personal experience. It happens to a lot of people.

Advocate: Is that common knowledge?

Ratner: No! Well, among my friends, but I’m not homophobic or uptight about it. That happens to a lot of heterosexuals. You meet a girl in a bar, and it turns out she’s not a girl. I think a girl should tell you if she’s a girl or a man – that way it’s your preference. That specific idea was because it’s happened to me. It’s happened to my friends. We’ll get together with a girl, and it’ll turn out to be a guy. The reaction is “Oh, shit!” if you’re not gay, which is funny, I think. Getting into the situation is funny. I laugh whenever I see one of my friends talking to a girl, and I’ll ask, “Is that a man or a woman?” It’s funny, especially if you don’t know about it. If you know about it, fine. If that’s your preference…

During the interview, Ratner also seemed very curious about a particular populace of the gay community:

Ratner: So, during my last gay interview, the guy was on the Internet and said, ‚Äö?Ñ??I‚Äö?Ñ?¥m looking at you right now, and you‚Äö?Ñ?¥re a bear.‚Äö?Ñ?? What‚Äö?Ñ?¥s a bear?

Advocate: For starters, it means you‚Äö?Ñ?¥re hairy.

Ratner: There‚Äö?Ñ?¥s no hair on my ass. I have no hair on my balls. So why am I a bear?

Advocate: Is there hair on your chest?

Ratner: [Pulls down his collar] A little bit, but barely. Look at my legs! [Pulls up his pant leg] Look at my legs. I’m not a hairy “bear.” I don’t even have hair on my back!

No Brett, you’re not a hairy “bear,” you’re more the submissive bottom, “cub” type. One gets the distinct feeling a remake of The Village People musical, “Can’t Stop The Music,” could very well be in Ratner’s future.

Fast Chat: Jake Gyllenhaal

- Jake Gyllenhaal is Hollywood’s sexiest man…despite what the editors at People say. The actor took a break from his heartthrob duties to speak with Ramin Setoodeh.

RS: In “Jarhead,” you played a Marine. Is it time for us to get out of Iraq?
JG: Honestly, I’m feeling more like maybe we should.

RS: “Brokeback Mountain” is a breakthrough movie. Why do you think people oppose gay marriage?
JG: I don’t think I could give you a coherent reason. Ultimately, the movie is about the struggle of love…with a new way of looking at it. Whether it will change minds is not something you can know in the present moment.

RS: I’ve seen your butt at least twice this year.
JG: I respect that people are interested in that. I’m flattered by it. But I hope there are more important things in the stories that they’re moved by.

RS: You costarred with Jennifer Aniston in “The Good Girl.” What’s your take on her breakup with Brad?
JG: Are you kidding me? It’s none of my business. They’re both wonderful people.

RS: According to our informal office pool, you…not Matthew McConaughey?…should’ve been People’s sexiest man.
JG: You’re pinning me against him? I have no hard feelings. But I’ll challenge Matthew McConaughey in the kitchen any time.

Almost everytime two people share a same sex kiss in a major Hollywood movie, at least one of those involved has their publicist usually issue some asshole of a statement saying how “difficult, uncomfortable and awkward” it was to do a gay kiss. It’s a feeble attempt to reassure the stars ‘masculinity’/'femininity’ at best, an insulting derogatory indictment at worst.

That’s why in a surprisingly amusing article today, Jake Gyllenhaal admitted to Digital Spy that while his gay love scenes with Heath Ledger in Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain” were tough, it wasn’t for the reasons that most PR hacks would have you believe.

Gyllenhaal says “Heath almost broke my nose in a kissing scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me, and then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the shit beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn’t hurting as badly as I did after that one.”
