I have no idea what age group he prefers, but he's definitely gay (his
own fine, strapping boys notwithstanding, who incidentally have much
healthier careers than he does). He spends a lot of the year in a
chichi little town in southern Vermont, though knowing the town I'd
guess there wouldn't be much cruising opportunity for him.
A friend who lives there says he's very nice and quite
approachable--and that he likes submarine sandwiches, which he was
buying in a pricy little deli when she met him.

who lingered in the same little deli when he visited Vermont this past
winter, hoping Dom would mosey in; alas, to no avail
Wasn't there some news recently about Deluise being arrested for
fondling the private parts of a young lad in a public place? The
scandal seemed to blow over fairly quickly, but I remember reading
about it in the somewhat more reliable sources (like Entertainment
Weekly).
--M.
There was also some story about the gardener or some other household
employee who was boffing both DeLuise & his son Michael's wife.
* Anyone know if Dom Deluise is a pedophile or gay or what???
*I've often wondered.......
I always thought he was gay and then he was sued a few years back for
sexually harrassing a bell boy at one of the Atlantic City Hotels...I
wish I could remember some of the particulars, it was pretty juicy
stuff from what I recall....Anyone out there retain the details?

Whadya mean whadya mean?
I met him in Times Square in '85 or '86, with two gay male friends of
mine. (Ok, let's just say 7th Ave. I'm not trying to convict the guy right
from moment one).
Dom was with a male friend who seemed younger than him, but not illegal or
anything. My pals were 21-22ish. One was just clean-cut average guy, but
the other was kind of goth-y, and had several earrings, including a nude
man suspended from one ear. We stopped Dom (Mr. Deluise?) because we
recognized him, and he was MOST fascinated with my friend's earrings.
(Earrings on boys, especially elaborate ones were not all that common -
remember those days?). Dom said he was thinking of getting an earring
himself, and he wanted to know: what did it feel like, did it hurt, did
people stare, etc. With me ( the girl) he was sort of sweet but kind of
'on' - mugging with a 'prop' I was carrying, but to my friend he was
ever-so solicitous.
So you know what they say.... If the 'dar dings, it's a duck.
Or at least there's some probability that given the right circumstances he
might quack.
Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase, "Eat This, It'll Make You
Feel Better" doesn't it?
I've heard two nationally covered stories about him:
The first was in that sterling example of fine journalism, The
National Enquirer. They had a cover story some time ago about some
guy who worked as a handyman for the DeLuises, and claimed Dom paid
him to blow him (or perform some sort of sexual act). As I recall,
the charge was denied, and it was claimed the guy, before he went to
the Enquirer, had tried to extort money from Mr. DeLuise.
The second was more widely reported. I'm not exactly clear on all the
details, but some male employee somewhere where Dom was staying or
appearing (runs in my mind it was Atlantic City, maybe Vegas), sued
him for sexual harassment. He claimed Dom had said something
suggestive to him, trying to make an advance. The case went to court
and the guy lost.
So, based on the above, I'm not convinced. However, it *is* kind of
strqange that these kinds of stories keep cropping up about him.
I'd be disappointed if he were gay, actually, because he's married,
has kids, and generally promotes himself as a family man. I don't see
anything wrong with being gay, but pretending you're something you're
not is another matter.

My husband delivered a pizza to him about a year ago (when he was at Duke
trying to lose weight), and Mr. Deluise asked him to come in, sit on the
bed, and watch TV with him. (Hubby declined politely.)

It's just as well. I notice Dom didn't offer him any of the pizza.

Sweetie - dare I mention the old Canadian game show "Definition"? It
was a bit like having your cryptaquote played out on a caculator, with
Jim Perry (when he had WHITE hair) bragging up their *fabulous* prizes
which were habitually either a Brother Sewing Machine or a set of
pillow cases. I think once a year they gave away a typewriter.

Not that it makes any difference, but he has at least two kids.

... or the announcer would proudly tell a lucky contestant, "You've
just won fifteen dollars!" Enough to cover car-parking fees, any road.
For other denizens of the Great Lakes broadcasting area: does anyone
remember the televised charades contest, "Party Game", where such
Canadian luminaries as Dinah Christie, Billy Van and Barbara Hamilton
would try to decipher team-mates' hand gestured clues, e.g.
"Longfellow, digguh digguh digguh digguh...", which meant that the
clue was a play on a Longfellow saying, and 'digguh digguh digguh'
was some kind of punctuation?
The prizes for such shows always reflected the pragmatic nature of
Canadians: a heating blanket, some ovenware casserole dish, car wax,
or silver polish.
