Kelly Clarkson on gay rumors: 'If I were a lesbian, I would be so in luck' (Photos)

Kelly Clarkson is now engaged, but that hasn't stopped rumors of her being a lesbian and getting hit on by both sexes. A recent interview with "Cosmopolitan" magazine was released on Friday, Jan. 4, 2012, and it tells of the confusion that the former "American Idol" has to deal with.

"I get hit on by [guys and girls]," Clarkson tells Cosmopolitan magazine. "But usually the guys who hit on me are tools. It's the ones that don't hit on you that make you like, 'Why didn't you ask me out?' 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."

The thing is, Clarkson may not like the guys that hit on her, but she is rather thrilled about the females that come on to her.

"I get hit on by the hottest girls ever," she tells Cosmo. "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."

Rumors continue to swirl that Clarkson may be gay, and they've been happening ever since she got her first touch of fame on "American Idol." Some of the reasons that they've thought she is gay, are quite strange though.

"People think, 'Oh, she's been single for too long," she explains. "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."

For those wondering though, - both guys and girls - Clarkson is off of the market and engaged to Brandon Blackstock.

"Six years I was single before this," she says of her engagement. "I've never been truly loved like I am right now."
