Music mogul Simon Cowell insists he is not gay - he just likes to take
care of his appearance.
Cowell has been plagued by gay rumors since launching talent TV shows Pop
Idol and American
Idol in the U.K. and U.S. respectively.
But the multi-millionaire insists he is not homosexual.
He says, "If I was, why hide it? It's not as if the music business
would be an odd place for a gay man to work.
"And, anyway, if I was trying to hide the fact that I was gay, I
would be off playing rugby every Saturday, wouldn't I?"
