A rep shoots down blog reports the Gossip Girl stars are having a fling

Body

Chace Crawford's rep is denying rumors that the actor, 22, is having a fling with his Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick. (Blogs had claimed the two shared an open-mouth kiss on the set of their CW hit.)

“These endless rumors are absolutely untrue,” his rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.

(See then-and-now photos of the Gossip Girl cast.)

It isn't the first time Crawford — who split with Carrie Underwood earlier this year — has dodged gay rumors.

Earlier this year, blogs claimed he and JC Chasez were an item, prompting the NSYNC singer to declare his heterosexuality on a radio station.

"That whole story got blown out of whack," Chasez told Us at a Stride Gum bash in L.A. on June 20. "It was so stupid, but I’m happy for him because his show is doing great, and he is a great guy.”

Michael Lohan: Lindsay, Sam's Romance "Evident to Anyone With Half a Brain"

Days after his daughter's PDA, Michael tells Us, "there are some things a father doesn't want to see"

Body

Michael Lohan isn't playing dumb when it comes to his daughter Lindsay's close relationship with deejay Samantha Ronson.

Days after photos of them nuzzling necks in Cannes, France, surfaced, he tells Usmagazine.com in an e-mail their relationship "is evident to anyone with half a brain."

Still, he adds, "Just like the [topless] Marilyn Monroe spread, Linds is my daughter and there are just some things a father doesn't want to see or hear, regardless of whether they are true or false." (See more spring flings.)

His daughter, 21, "is a big girl, and she can make her own life choices. Then it is between her and God."

Michael — who volunteers for a Christian-based rehab organization — couldn't help but take a swipe at his ex Dina (who just debuted her new E! reality show).

"Maybe her mother's life revolves around the tabloids and reports, but mine doesn't," Michael says. "I am into setting a good example and doing good things that don't deceive or exploit my kids.

"But I will say this: While we were a family, you never even saw or heard a negative thing about any of us.

"But since the separation, look at everything that has happened!"

Tell Us: Do you think Lindsay and Sam will last?

The BFFs were photographers nuzzling each other's necks and holding hands while partying on Diddy's yacht in Cannes, France, Thursday night.

Hot romance?

Not so much, says Lohan's sister, Ali, 14.

"They're best friends," she told Extra. "They're just friends. It's pathetic what people say."

Pete Wentz: I Made Out With Guys

He calls his same sex smooching "a slight sense of sexual rebellion"

Body

Dad-to-be Pete Wentz has a confession: He's made out with dudes.

He tells Out magazine he first smooched a guy when he was 16 or 17, probably on a dare.

He experimented again around 18 and 19, he says.

His last same-sex make out?

“A long time ago,” Wentz, 29, says. “Probably when I was 22?”

The Fall Out Boy bassist — who wed Ashlee Simpson in May — puts all his experimenting in perspective.

“When I said that I make out with dudes, there was a slight sense of sexual rebellion in that,” he tells Out. “And I probably even made it a bigger deal than it was.”

(Asked to describe his sexuality, Wentz — who admits to having a crush on
John Mayer — says: “I’ve always felt this relentless heterosexual drive.”)

See other photos of shocking hook-ups.

"Our culture bombards us with this idea that you’re not that, and if you are that, there’s something wrong with you, and then we’re going to call you that, and then it’s an insult,” Wentz says.

After Wentz once discussed his “possible bisexuality” with Blender, rumors floated that Joe Simpson, an ordained Baptist minister, had told Ashlee not to bring him home for the holidays.

He says that report was "such bull--t” and that Joe even joked about it.

“He was like, 'We should take a picture in front of the Christmas tree holding hands,'" Wentz says. Still, he admits, “There are definitely ramifications for what you say.”

See what a body language expert had to say about Pete and Ashlee.

In general, Wentz says people are becoming open to alternative lifestyles.

“The actual acceptance of gay marriage is inevitable,” Wentz declares. “It’s just like how the next generation of kids are going to all have tattoos.”

Clay Aiken: "People Don't Care" if I'm Gay

"People don't want stuff like that pushed in their face," the American Idol alum says

Body

Gay?

Straight?

Who cares, says American Idol alum Clay Aiken.

When it comes to his sexuality, "People don't want to have that type of stuff pushed, people who are living in Omaha or in Charlotte or wherever," Aiken, 29, tells Access Hollywood.

"They don't want stuff like that pushed in their face," he adds. "I don't think that's necessary and that's also not what I'm here for. I mean, I went on Idol to be a singer, I went on Idol to be an entertainer and that's what my priority is."

When blogs began speculating on his sexuality — several men even came forth, claiming to have met Aiken in gay chat rooms — he admits it was "difficult initially.

"I think when you get into anything and you're not used to people scrutinizing this, that or the other... it bothers you," Aiken says.

"After awhile you kind of just say, 'Forget this ... This is not who I am, this is not about me, what I want to do is be a singer, want to be an entertainer, and forget all that stuff,'" he adds.

Still, he opens up a bit on his new album, On My Way Here, out May 6.

"Some of the songs on the album are personal, some of them are not personal, some of them are very universal and I like to keep that - allow people to interpret it that way," he says.

JC Chasez: I'm "Not Dating" Chace Crawford

"We’re both straight,” the singer says, debunking gay rumors

Body

Get it straight: JC Chasez and Chace Crawford aren't dating.

The former NSYNC singer, 31, debunked Internet rumors linking him to the Gossip Girl hottie, 22, on Kiss-FM 104.7 on Wednesday.

“For the record, we’re both straight,” Chasez declared. "We're not dating."

Chasez — who called Crawford a "super nice guy" — said he understands why people may think they're an item.

"The only time people usually see us together is in some type of photograph, so they just assume that it’s like that," he said.

"If I’m dating a girl and I’m standing next to another girl, I’m having an affair," Chasez went on.

"So now, since there hasn’t been any of that smoke out there, if I’m hanging out with a guy, they’re going to make up a rumor.

"It’s just stupid.”
