EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.

Billy Crystal has backtracked on comments he made recently about gay sex scenes on TV, saying he was ‘misunderstood’. The veteran actor was promoting his new TV show, The Comedians, when he said the “explicit sex” was “too much” for him.

Sometimes it’s pushed a little too far for my tastes, and I’m not going to get into which ones they are… I just hope people don’t abuse it and shove it in our face, well, that sounds terrible, to the point of it just feels like an everyday kind of thing.

TL;DR: Gay sex scenes make Billy Crystal feel kind of icky.

After considerable outrage on Twitter, Crystal has tried to explain what he meant - and says he wasn’t just talking about gay sex scenes:

What I meant was that whenever sex or graphic nudity of any kind (gay or straight) is gratuitous to the plot or story it becomes a little too much for my taste.

Well then. (Hollywood Reporter)

Plus Miley likes using candy, like lollipops.

FILTHY. Maybe. (Mirror)
