Alan Cumming Says He'd Sleep With Mitt Romney On 'Watch What Happens: Live' (VIDEO)

Andy Cohen keeps getting suprising honesty from his game "Plead the Fifth" on "Watch What Happens: Live" (Weeknights, 11 p.m. EST on Bravo). With "Good WIfe" star Alan Cumming on as guest, Cohen asked him about which presidential candidate he'd be willing to sleep with and whether Cher or Christina Aguilera was the bigger diva on the set of "Burlesque."

For the record, Cumming answered Christina with little hesitation. Having already plead the Fifth to an earlier question, the rules of the game stated that there was no getting out of this one.

Then, Cohen asked him, "What TV or film star needs to never grace the Broadway stage again?" After some reflection, Cumming gave an honest, depressing answer. "Farrah Fawcett," he said.

While Fawcett got good reviews in an early off-Broadway production of the play "Extremities," her official debut on Broadway in a show called "Bobbi Boland" was cancelled in late 2003 during the previews, never making it to its official open. Fawcett passed away on June 25, 2009 after a two-year battle with cancer.

Catch new episodes of "Watch What Happens: Live" every weeknight at 10 p.m. EST on Bravo.

I think you need to watch your language while "reporting". I keep seeing the word "blasts", and especially in this case, it is not accurate. Blasting would imply that it was a major slam said in anger. Alan was sheepish and reluctant, he didn't "blast" anyone. Clean up your reporting, using shock words to grab us from a headlines is Fox Newsworthy, not HuffPoWorthy.

Could either Cohen or Cumming be any MORE of a stereotype?

I usually like Alan Cumming, but I don't get that comment about Farrah Fawcett (doesn't he know that she's been dead for almost three years?)

Really? Farrah Fawcett? That doesn't even make sense... how old is this interview? Perhaps he's too shy to list someone currently on television... or even still alive.

I love this show, don't always love the guests. The remark about Farrah Fawcett was very unpleasant. I saw her in "Extremities" and I thought she was remarkable. Snarky doesn't always equal funny, Alan.

Yeah well Farrah was a bigger star in her day than Alan Cumming will ever be.Plus he sure has a face for radio.

Who is Alan Cumming and why should I care what he thinks?

If you're on the Gay Voices section, you should knw who he is. As to whether or not you should care what he thinks-you shouldn't. But then you shouldn't click on an article about him or comment on it, either.
