Anne Heche's Angry 'Advocate' Interview

Oct. 24, 2001 -- Remember what the talk of the town was prior to the Sept. 11 attacks: eccentric actress Anne Heche and her outer-space alter ego, Celestia.

Well, the one-time lesbian, who's pregnant and newly married, is once again making headlines, thanks to a meltdown she had during an interview with gay and lesbian magazine The Advocate.

According to TV Guide, Ellen DeGeneres' famous ex-girlfriend bridled over the interviewer's question about whether her new husband, Coley Laffoon, had a similarly experimental sexual background.

An enraged Heche said that the question was, "completely out of line," adding, "You have got to be kidding me, after everything I have given [your magazine], you are now asking me about my husband's sexuality? This is flooring to me … This is an article about me." Oh-kay. Settle down there, Anne. Time for a happy pill?

She also took offense at the question about whether she'd care if the child she is expecting grew up to be gay or lesbian. "Hasn't anybody heard anything I've said? Of course not. My child is free to love who they want to love. Amazing to think that would even be asked."

Meanwhile, USA Today is reporting that the sitcom she had in development at Warner Bros. TV has been rejected by all the major networks. Well, that's just one less round of press junkets, then, isn't it?
