Fred (Nickelodeon Star) REVEALS – I’m Gay!

Lucas Cruishank,  better known as FRED,  is a HUGE Nickelodeon star that got his start making viral YouTube videos.  If you are young or have kids, chances are, you have heard of him.  Fred makes several shows and movies with Nickelodeon, but today he is allowing the world into his personal life, revealing that he is gay. 

In typical FRED fashion, he released a YouTube video this morning of his coming out – which also featured his good friend Jennifer Veal (Disney Star from “Jessie”).  Throughout the video Lucas (bka Fred) says that his friends and family have known about his homosexuality for years, but he never felt the need to be public about it, until now.  Even joking with Veal during the video by saying “Why dont you have to make a video saying that you are straight?”

PS.  Lucas shot to stardom on YouTube playing the uber annoying but hilarious Fred.  Check him out if you havent yet!   Fred’s YouTube Channel:  http://www.youtube.com/user/Fred‎

Former Disney Star – Lee Thompson Young – DEAD AT 29!

 

Lee Thompson Young, who played “The Famous Jett Jackson” on Disney has died of an apparent suicide.  Young’s rep confirmed today that Lee Thompson Young apparently took his own life, with a single self inflicted gunshot wound to the head.  Lee Young was currently appearing on the TNT series “Rizzoli & Isles” and when he didnt show up to work Monday morning, production staff called the landlord that Young rents from and asked them to check on him.  That is when he was discovered dead with what was believed to be (and now confirmed) gunshot wound to the head.  Young’s body was discovered as soon as the landlord opened the door.  More details regarding the circumstances of his suicide will be published as further details emerge.
