The entertainment world has been abuzz for months about Bruce Jenner’s apparent gender transition.
Now it sounds like Jenner is ready to talk.
ABC confirmed on Monday that Diane Sawyer has scored an exclusive interview with Jenner. It will be broadcast on April 24 as a two-hour special.
Clearly Jenner has something to say. But what? ABC is being mum. The title of the special is “Bruce Jenner — The Interview.”
ABC simply said it would be “far-ranging” and “exclusive,” and revealed nothing else about the subject matter.
But Sawyer knows what it’s all about, because the interview was taped back in February, before Jenner was involved in a multi-vehicle car accident in California.
For months, speculation has been running rampant — due to paparazzi photos — that Jenner is transitioning from a man to a woman.
But he has said nothing in public about it. (That’s why, for now, this story says “he” and not “she.”)
CNN.com reported back in February that “repeated attempts to get comment from Jenner, his agents and his mother have gone unanswered.”
The E! channel, well-known for the hit reality series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which features Jenner, is said to be taping a documentary all about Jenner’s gender transition. But the channel has refused to confirm that any such project is in the works.
A spokeswoman for E! did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.
