Jodie Foster, the Hollywood staple and multiple award winning actress, finally came out of the closet and announced she is a lesbian. **crickets chirping....**

The Hollywood star paid tribute to "my beautiful Cydney" as she accepted an award from entertainment magazine the Hollywood Reporter at Los Angeles' Beverly Hills Hotel last week, the first time she has made reference to her relationship with film producer Cydney Bernard, her reported girlfriend of15 years.

Picking up the prize as the guest of honour at the magazine's Women in Entertainment Power 100 breakfast last Tuesday (04.12.07), Jodie said: "I would like to thank my beautiful Cydney who sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss."

Rumors abounded for many years regarding Foster's sexual orientation, but she always refused to discuss it. Recently Ted Casablanca of E! insisted that a well known celebrated actress was about to come out of the closet, and almost all of the guesses were Jodie.

No surprises here, folks.
