In the world of Hollywood, friendships can often transcend the boundaries of on-screen chemistry. Such is the case with Jane Lynch and Jennifer Coolidge, who have been longtime friends and former on-screen flames. At the recent Santa Barbara Film Festival's Virtuosos Awards, Lynch playfully acknowledged Coolidge's role in the hypothetical 'gay mafia' of Hollywood.
In a joking manner, Lynch stated that she has not been invited to be a part of any 'gay mafia.' She then proceeded to declare Coolidge to be the reigning queen of this elusive group, despite the fact that Coolidge herself is not gay. Lynch's comments come on the heels of Coolidge's Emmy acceptance speech, where she thanked 'all the evil gays' as a nod to her character on the popular series, White Lotus.
