Hot List 2012: Molly Ringwald

America's favorite teenager has a grown-up secret life -- and she's ready to set the record straight about the sexuality of classic John Hughes characters.

Molly Ringwald was the most famous face of a trifecta of teen films that defined a decade and a generation, turning out leads in three ’80s Brat Pack classics -- Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink -- in as many years. “Ain’t She Sweet,” Time magazine crooned on its inevitable cover -- and she was, she totally was.

She’s still recognizably That Girl at 44, with fair skin and freckles blooming beneath big sunglasses on a warm afternoon in Venice, Calif., her auburn hair worn straight and tied neatly back. And she’s still sweet -- quick to compliment her costars, too kind to name names during less flattering anecdotes -- but there’s no trace of awkwardness, no shy naivete.

1. *Scratches head* I'm confused

Is Molly coming out or is the character she plays on TV coming out?

2. From what I can gather...

It's a 'lesbian fling' on the show she's on, "The Secret Life of the American Teenager".

3. That's what I thought but then she's quoted as saying

something about Molly coming out as a lesbian driving conservatives over the edge.

4. I saw that, too...

It's a very poorly written article, in my opinion.

5. I love her quote: "Fox News... It's like Nazi propaganda"
