Kelly Clarkson on gay rumors: 'Hottest' girls don't make 'em true Kelly Clarkson knows about those gay rumors, people, and she's "never insulted" by them. Alas, she's also never played for the girls' team. More shockingly, she said, life can be a lot like "American Idol" auditions. More on that later. PHOTOS: Gay celebrities - who's out? The original "American Idol" champ, now 30, recently got engaged to boyfriend Brandon Blackstock. So will that ginormous rock be enough to sway those who have questioned her sexuality? "People think, 'Oh, she's been single for too long,'" Clarkson told Cosmopolitan in an interview for its February issue. That's kind of an insult to the gay community. Being single doesn't mean you're gay. (Conspiracy theorists, now's the part where you say, "Aha! But being engaged doesn't mean you're straight!") "But I'm never insulted by it, obviously," the singer said, and there are even some flattering perks. I mean, I get hit on by the hottest girls ever. 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. She doesn't command the same kind of hot-hottie interest in that league, she says. "[U]sually the guys who hit on me are tools ... ," Clarkson told the mag. 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. Thanks, Kelly. That explains so much.
