“Mamma Mia” Actors Stand Up Gay Fest

“MAMMA Mia!” actress Amanda Seyfried and her screen “fiancé,” Dominic Cooper, disappointed gay activists in LA who were expecting their participation in Outfest, a film festival for the homosexual and transgender sets. The actors were expected to walk the red carpet, pose for pictures and do interviews before introducing the movie musical, which features Meryl Streep singing ABBA tunes. But at the last minute, Outfest’s p.r. man, Carl Larsen, received an e-mail: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the red-carpet arrivals . . . have been canceled.” Larsen said, “I was taken by surprise. There was no explanation.” Another observer fumed, “Outrageous! How can [Seyfried] diss the gays like that? This is our movie!” A rep for Universal said, “This was never a red-carpet event. She volunteered to come and introduce the movie and did a great job. There was never a red carpet for her to walk.”
