Most of the time I try to stay away from celeb interviews because well they tend to ruin the illusion

I know what you're saying. I sort of liked not knowing anything about her when I wrote the fic, it was easier to assume she was a normal person. But then she does seem completely down to earth and fun loving in reality which is neat.

the interviewer pushed her, and then basically declared them "the hottest lesbian couple of the ever" based on the 'just don't look upstairs' joke

Reading the article, it seems like Kris did not really intend for her joke to be an official confirmation of the relationship. It was a probably super awkward moment for her and went beyond her ability to manage PR while being honest. I'm definitely reading that Michelle doesn't want to out herself at this point in her career while Kris is really only willing to say she's bi and in a lesbian relationship right now.

I'm really curious to see how this is all going to play out. If anybody can sell being in a lesbian relationship and having a mainstream career, it's Kris. She is that powerfully sexy and seems like she has the right personality.

This is another good reason to move on from TLW. It seems like it's a little bit of a refuge for promising lesbians who haven't been able to break into the mainstream. That's the one thing that Ilene is doing that I totally respect. She's probably employing a good number of the lesbians working in the TV business.
