Kelly Clarkson, the first American
Idol, believes she would be “so in luck” if she were a
lesbian.
The 30-year-old Clarkson addressed
rumors she's gay while speaking with women's fashion glossy
Cosmopolitan, saying she believes being single for so long
fueled the speculation.
“People think, 'Oh, she's been single
for too long,” she
said. “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. 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.”
Clarkson had been single for six years
before she began dating talent manager Brandon Blackstock last
February. The pair are now engaged.
In February, Clarkson told UK's Now
Magazine that she's “not gay. If I was, I'd say, 'I love
women!'”
“That's why it drives me nuts. But I
feel like even if I did say it, people would be like, 'You're just
trying to do that to win the gay audience.'”
