David Paterson To Marry Gay Couple, Freddie Stroma, Chace Leaves Ed, TIFF Announcements, Toronto Virgin Festival Moves North, Meet Man-Madonna

The New York Post's Page Six is reporting that East Hampton residents had the police called to an Empire State Pride Agenda tea dance, held at a private residence that despite the attendance of Governor David A. Paterson. Paterson, an ally for gay marriage legislation in the state – that being an understatement, was asked by guest Heather Matarazzo, who is engaged to playwright Caroline Murphy, if he would marry the two, to which Paterson reported, with obvious enthusiasm, said yes.

So sexy Freddie Stroma tells Britain’s Now that although no one has ever asked him, he would appear nude for a role.

So sad, but true, it seems that Chace Crawford has moved out on Ed Westwick, that according to an Us exclusive.

The Toronto International Film Festival announced a selection of films scheduled to screen at the 2009 incarnation, including the somewhat surprising selection of Creation, a film by British director Jon Amiel, starring real life husband and wife Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, set to open the Festival. Of note, Precious, the remarkable film by Lee Daniels, formally known as Push, a standout at Sundance.

Owing to the ongoing civil garbage strike in Toronto, the Virgin Music Festival announced it was moving this year’s event to Orillia, a number of stellar acts scheduled to appear including the Grizzly Bear, The Pet Shop Boys, Pixies, and Franz Ferdinand.

While the real Madonna is home, in the old country, visiting Milan, Italy, an impersonator, twenty-eight year old Elias Figueroa, “a poor boy from Chile” is living large as Madonna, claiming “some people can’t tell the difference between me and the real thing they don’t’ even realize I’m a man.” There is an obvious joke there, not, however, at the expense of Elias.
