TV Guide and Extra were behind the scenes at FOX News on Super Tuesday election. “We don’t care who wins,” declared anchor Shepherd Smith with what we’re sure was genuine enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Big Head DC hears that TV Guide will feature a longer piece about FOX in next week’s issue.

In response to a New York Magazine interview with FOX News anchor Shepherd Smith, Gawker Media is rehashing some old gossip that the newscaster may be a closeted homosexual.

“FOX News anchorman Shepherd Smith has lovely locks, a Southern twang and piles of rampant homosexuality rumors,” the Web site reported yesterday. “Of course, he doesn’t help matters much by saying ‘blowjob’ by accident during his live newscast…” The site then goes on to rank him as having a high probability of being gay on the infamous Kinsey Scale.

Of course, if saying blowjob is a qualification for being gay, then all the world is probably gay (hopefully!). But Smith also has that old story in his closet from Washington Blade editor-in chief Kevin Naff, who claims Shepherd once hit on him at a NYC piano bar. To our knowledge, Smith has never debunked Naff’s recollection.

Big Head DC first broke the news that Smith will anchor this weekend’s marathon Super Bowl political coverage on the cable network.
