We'll see how this one works.
Publicist Howard Bragman wants to help celebrities come out of the closet — on national television.
Bragman, who is the chairman of Hollywood PR agency Fifteen Minutes, sold A&E on a pitch for a one-time reality TV special where gay stars who have been playing straight will come out of the closet.
Over the years, Bragman has earned a reputation for helping gay celebrities including Chaz Bono and Meredith Baxter navigate the coming out process.
Bob Horowitz and Juma Productions will executive produce the special for A&E along with Bragman, who is currently searching for celebrities to appear on the special.
