For decades I've read about Diane and me being best friends rather than lovers. We weren't just friends. We aren't just friends. It was simply a burst of passion that lasted for years. And yes, I liked men too, but that didn't conflict with my love for Diane, the billionaire explained in his memoir.
Earlier this year, IAC Chairman Barry Diller came out as gay in his memoir, Who Knew. Now, is he the first big, fancy businessman to be gay? Certainly not. But because Diller has been married to Diane von Fürstenberg since 2001, the admission generated a fair amount of discourse and made some people (read: me) very jealous. It all started in May, when New York magazine published a touching essay by Diller titled: "Barry & Diane: The truth about us, after all these years."
Diller claimed Travolta approached Michael Eisner, who was Paramount Pictures' president, about stepping back, citing his grief over the death of both his mother and girlfriend.
