Actress Tori Spelling loves her gay icon status - because she is a “huge fan” of homosexuals.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star admits she took her role in gay-themed movie Kiss The Bride as she wanted to reward her loyal gay fans.

She said: “(The gay theme) was probably one of the top things that made me want to do the movie. I’m a huge fan of gays. They love me; I love them. They consider me kind of a gay icon, which they’ve labelled me as.”

The singer has launched the Barbra Streisand Women’s Cardiovascular Research and Education Program, which will fund research and education at the famous hospital.

Streisand said: “Women need to be educated about female cardiovascular disease, and the medical community must be propelled toward change. Just like with breast cancer, the impetus must come from women themselves, striving to become empowered to reduce their risks for heart disease.”
