Clarkson: I'm Not a Lesbian

By Will McCahill, Newser Staff

Posted Feb 4, 2009 3:35 PM CST

(Newser) – Kelly Clarkson isn’t a lesbian, a large fan contingent and persistent rumors to the contrary, the singer tells PopEater. “I could never be a lesbian,” she says. “I would never want to date (someone like) myself, ever. I’m a crazy person. I need some kind of stable, quiet man.”

Her reaction to being asked about her sexuality by lesbians: “I’m glad it works for you and I wish I liked women like that because oftentimes men are very hard for me, but I happen to like boys.”
