Bisexual director Bryan Singer has decided he wants to become a family man, as E! News reports he’s set to become a dad. The mother is actress Michelle Clunie, and while she and Singer aren’t a couple they do intend to raise the child together.
Singer’s rep comments, “Best friends for 25 years, mother and father are both very excited about the upcoming birth and look forward to co-parenting the child together. The pair have been planning this baby for years and have been trying for the last two.”
Clunie isn’t acting as a surrogate, but it’s now known whether she conceived via artificial insemination or whether Singer allowed his bisexual side out for the occasion.
It’s also being reported that Singer has bought a house for Clunie so that the two can be closer together and make it easier for them to raise the baby.
The child is due sometime in early 2015.
It’s certainly better news than Singer’s been having for the last few months, where he’s been mired in legal woes stemming from allegations of sex abuse and rape of an underage boy. However the cases filed against him have since been dropped due to issues over the reliability of his main accuser, Michael F. Egan (who’s getting into trouble himself now, with cases taken against him for malicious prosecution, and in the last week he was admonished by a judge over lying about whether lawyers had been helping him with his defence or not).
And if you’re wondering why we’re referring to Singer as bisexual when most have always referred to him as gay, earlier this year he told Out, “I’m quite bisexual. In the last five years, I’ve had two girlfriends—one for two years, one for eight months…In the end, it’s probably going to be a guy. I emotionally lean towards male relationships, so I’m happy to say I’m gay, too, if it’s a one-syllable, easy answer.”
Sebastian Stan is going to be a busy boy. He still got loads of movies to go in his Marvel contract (he’s made two Captain Americas and it’s believed he’s contracted for seven more Marvel flicks), he recently signed to appear in Ridley Scott’s The Martian and now

While Paul Greengrass signing up for a movie is far different from him actually directing it (he has a tendency to pick up and leave movies behind), he’s recently agreed to helm The Tunnels, based on an upcoming book by Greg Mitchell.
Many of the films hoping for Oscar nominations are already busy jostling for position, but now we get one that may be up for BAFTAs next year, but without a confirmed 2014 US release set, may not be up for the Oscars. The film is Suite Francaise, which has just released its first trailer.
The first two Chapters of Insidious took us into the creepy world of The Further through the story of the Lamberts and their the supernatural’s interest in them and their son. Now it’s prequel time, showing us how Lin Shaye’s Elise came to known about The Further, which came in handy in the earlier movie.
We weren’t meant to get the Avengers: Age Of Utron teaser until next week, but after the trailer leaked Marvel quickly decided that rather than trying to put the genie back in the bottle they’d go with it and release official versions.
