Kelly Clarkson Shuts Down Gay Rumors in New Interview

While Kelly Clarkson is currently happily engaged to fiancee Brandon Blackstock, for some reason her sexuality has been questioned for some time now. Kelly Clarkson gay rumors still run rampent, but now the original American Idol winner sets the record straight—no pun intended.

Kelly Clarkson address gay rumors In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, saying, "I get hit on by the hottest girls ever," adding, "Oh, my God, if I were a lesbian, I would be so in luck. But it's just not my thing. I've always batted for the boys' team."

"People think, 'Oh, she's been single for too long. That's kind of an insult to the gay community. Being single doesn't mean you're gay. But I'm never insulted by it, obviously.'"

As for the fellas, Kelly says, "I get hit on by [guys and girls]." She continued by stating, "But usually the guys who hit on me are tools. It's the ones that don't hit on you that make you like, 'Why didn't you ask me out?' It's like American Idol auditions: The guys who are the most confident are the horrible ones, and the ones who are good have no confidence at all."

We got to agree with Kellz. Straight women can be single, too. But will this finally put an end to Kelly Clarkson gay rumors?
