Prayers Did Not De-Lesbianize Anne Heche

Let's be honest: Anne Heche has her moments of crazy. But in the tabloid swirl it's easy to forget that she's also a pretty good actress - remember Walking and Talking?
That said, let's dive straight back into the gossip: apparently, Heche's mother Nancy is running around claiming that she single-handedly turned her temporarily gay daughter straight through the power of prayer. Nancy Heche is even using Anne's name to promote anti-gay Christian events, referring to herself as "a single parent who experienced the international media rush during her daughter Anne Heche's highly visible relationship with Ellen DeGeneres."
Anne's not happy about that. She tells the NY Daily News, "This nonsense about my mother praying for me is really making me angry...The ex-gay events right now make me sick. And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it."
You'd think Anne could just drop her mom a note to say, "Hey, I'm not into you using my name to promote anti-gay causes," instead of taking her complaints straight to the media. But I ask you once again to refer to that whole "moments of crazy" thing.
