Simon Cowell: Me Dear? Gay Dear? No Dear!

Simon Cowell has slashed (and probably blushed) at reports suggesting that the X Factor judge was G-A-Y, stating that he was “absolutely baffled” at the recent speculation.

Some fans have said for a long time that Cowell is too effeminate to be straight - however this week the music mogul has responded.

“It’s probably my mother’s influence,” Cowell told the Daily Mail. “If I was, why hide it? It’s not as if the music business would be an odd place for a gay man to work. And anyway, if I was trying to hide the fact that I was gay, I would be off playing rugby every Saturday, wouldn’t I?”

Then again, Cowell did tell the press that he was scared of the responsibility of kids, perhaps suggesting he was indeed a homosexual.
