ER cutie Shane West has been the subject of gay rumors since he arrived at a party in March with actor Ashton Holmes. Anonymous tips to Queerty had him making out at two different parties with a guy that fit Holmes’ description. (I’m not attempting to out the guy and I personally don’t believe that anyone should do that intentionally as that’s someone’s personal business and can affect an actor’s career. There’s a difference between reporting on a story and maliciously going after someone. I know to me it doesn’t matter, and I always thought people may as well come out. Crazy Days and Nights has a good post about how it can ruin an actor/actresses chance to play straight characters, which made me reconsider.)

Anyway there’s a questionable article in the National Enquirer this week about Shane West’s supposed 11 year affair with a porn star, who says she broke it off with him when he wanted threesomes with other women. If that doesn’t say he’s a red-blooded straight guy, what does?

Of course it’s filled with enthusiastic quotes from the buxom brunette about how into sex he is. The tone of the article is so over the top that it sounds comical:

ER star Shane West has had a secret 11-year-affair with a porn star, The Enquirer has learned exclusively.

“Shane loves sex, maybe too much!” says 31-year-old Dorian Grant.

The two broke up earlier this year because, Dorian says, Shane wanted her to bring other women into the bedroom.

“Our relationship ended because he couldn’t get his way and have a threesome,” says Dorian, who has starred in such movies as “Jiggly Queens 2,” “Busty Blondes in Heat 6″ and “Beautiful Bosom’s Bound…”

“We began seeing each other, but I quickly realized he was only interested in using my ‘talents’ and didn’t want to take me out on regular dates,” said Dorian. “Shane treated me like a porn star all of the time, and that made me angry.”

Shane would visit her at her home strictly for sex, she says, and she finally became fed up with being his booty call.

“Most of the time he couldn’t even wait to get to the bedroom,” she said “Shane wanted to do it everywhere - on the floor, the couch of a table - it didn’t matter to him. At first I thought he was just turned on by me or really liked me, but the moment he was finished he was out the door.”

Isn’t that a great stage name, Dorian Grant? The fact that it’s a reference to an Oscar Wilde novel about debauchery makes the whole story seem that much more credible.

Grant is a real porn star (link is to IMDB and is safe for work) who has gone by that name for some time, but whether this story is true or not is up to question, and she probably could use the publicity. Maybe that’s just how porn stars talk. Shane’s publicist says he’s never had a relationship with Grant, but she supposedly passed a lie detector test, according to The Enquirer.

According to Wikipedia, West has been linked with Rachael Leigh Cook, Monica Keena, Marla Sokoloff, Dina Meyer, Jenna Dewan, and singer CC Sheffield.
