‘American Idol’ Host Brian Dunkleman Says He’s Not Gay

Michael Ausiello of TVGuide.com spoke with ‘American Idol’ host Brian Dunkleman who denied message board chatter that he’s gay just days after Simon Cowell did the same on Howard Stern. Dunkleman said, “On the message boards there are a lot of people asking, ‘Are these hosts gay?’ But then, there are six or seven messages after that [saying], ‘Why do you care?’ It’s just ridiculous. Personally, I would rather people not think that… I’ve got a girlfriend and I’m very happy.”
