Last week, Cate Blanchett was rumored to have come out as bisexual after saying in an interview withVariety that she had had relationships with women "yes, many times." (She plays a lesbian woman in Carol, the movie she's promoting at the Cannes Film Festival, which inspired the question.) Various outlets picked up the quote, leading Blanchett to address all the coverage this weekend during a Cannes press conference. She is not bisexual, she clarified, but why should her sexuality matter either way?

"We're living in deeply conservative times and if we think otherwise we're being very foolish." They're strong words from an actress who shows the best way to handle a rumor is to take the opportunity to make a greater statement.
