Michael Stipe Is Gay and Funny
Published 3/21/2008 by Evil Beet at Evil Beet Gossip
Yeah, Michael Stipe has sex with dudes. But you knew that, didn’t you? Come on. Everyone knew that. I knew that when I was like 14. And so did you, if you let yourself admit it. After recently letting it slip that he plays for the other team, the REM frontman made this formal announcement. Brilliant.

Michael Stipe Outs the Rest of R.E.M. [Announcements]
Published 3/21/2008 by Pareene at Gawker
Michael Stipe came out this week! Again! Everyone was... shocked? Seriously, we know he's quiet about his personal life, but he's not Anderson Cooper—we were pretty sure he came out officially like 8 years ago when he described himself as "queer" to Time, but who reads Time? Today, though, Stipe released, via YouTube, an even more stunning announcement about his bandmates, Mike Mills and Peter Buck. Click through to see.

Michael Stipe Announces Bandmates' Heterosexuality
Published 3/21/2008 at Starpulse Entertainment News Blog
R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe has poked fun at his homosexuality by reading out a 'statement' revealing his bandmates Mike Mills and Peter Buck are heterosexual. In the staged press conference video on the group's YouTube webpage, Stipe sits down to read his humorous statement as camera bulbs flash repeatedly around him. The frontman, who first revealed his sexual preference in an interview with Time magazine in 2001, retains a deadly serious composure throughout the clip, before collapsing in a heap of laughter at the end. In the video, Stipe says: "R.E.M.'s Pete Buck and Mike Mills have announced today, after ...

Michael Stipe: “I’m Gay, Duh!”
Published 3/21/2008 by Spicy Pants at Celebrity Smack! Gossip & Entertainment Blog
After discussing his sexuality earlier this week with Spin magazine, the press made a big deal saying Michael Stipe was officially admitting that he was gay.
However, Michael figured that people should have figured it out for themselves. He says he never tried to hide it.
“It was super complicated for me in the ’80s. I was totally open with the band and my family and my friends and certainly the people I was sleeping ...

Michael Stipe has an announcement to make
Published 3/24/2008 by Michael Slezak at Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch
I'm sure this cheeky little publicity stunt has nothing to do with the fact that REM's latest album, Accelerate, drops April 1 (and will be streaming for the next week at iLike.com). So let's just congratulate Stipe's bandmates Peter Buck and Mike Mills on their courageous declarations of heterosexuality. ...
Stream R.E.M.'s Accelerate On iLike
Published 3/24/2008 by Stereogum at Stereogum
After the other day's big news, that Mike Mills and Peter Buck are in fact heterosexual, we figured the R.E.M. cycle would slow down awhile. Not so. As promised, the band's made Accelerate available for full-album streaming on iLike, which can be accessed via Facebook, iTunes plugin, and apparently even iPhone(?). Listen to it at ilike.com/R.E.M. The album is really good. ...

REM’s Michael Stipe outs his bandmates…as straight
Published 3/25/2008 by MSat at Cele|bitchy
Last week, REM lead singer Michael Stipe revealed, to the surprise of no one on this planet, that he is gay.
The singer has never felt the need to publicly discuss his sexuality before, but thinks now is the right time to do so.
He said: “It was super complicated for me in the ’80s. I was totally open with the band and my family and my friends and certainly the people I was sleeping with. I thought it was pretty obvious.
“I didn’t always see that. But I see now, of course that’s the case, of course that’s needed. I’d just never felt strongly enough about a ...
R.E.M. Cover Editors (And Vice Versa)
Published 3/28/2008 by Stereogum at Stereogum
R.E.M. Cover Editors (And Vice Versa) No longer ambiguous about his sexuality (or that of his bandmates ), Michael Stipe can now afford to be ambiguous about his song selections. On Radio 1 Live Lounge recently, Stipe and Co. took on Editors' "Munich." The box percussion, toe tapping, and Michael's "with one hand" gestures are great. Actually, it's a good cover in general: This means you, too, Mike and Peter. Is this an endorsement or are they just repaying the Brits the favor for covering "Orange Crush" enough times that the recorded version , which shows up as a b-side to "Blood," made it onto The OC ? Speaking of ...
R.E.M. - Accelerate: Music Review
Published 3/31/2008 at Slant Magazine
onsidering the buzz that preceded 2001's Reveal , it's probably wise to regard the pre-release buzz surrounding R.E.M.'s Accelerate with a healthy dose of skepticism. Billed as a return to form, Reveal ended up offering a couple of fine standalone singles but still followed in the band's post-Bill Berry pattern of recording both art-pop experiments and formal genre exercises, neither with consistent success. Accelerate , already being touted as a full-fledged comeback, earns that reputation for being the first album on which the trio of Michael Stipe and recently-out heterosexuals Peter Buck and Mike Mills sound like a ...

The recent R.E.M narrative has gone like this: Accelerate, their most recent album — good. Around the Sun, Reveal, and Up, their last three albums — bad. Band bassist Mike Mills thinks this is lazy journalism, and he wasn't exactly thrilled when some ...
