ABDUL: 'COWELL IS NOT GAY'

Singer-turned-television presenter PAULA ABDUL has slammed critics for branding music mogul SIMON COWELL gay - claiming he is just "comfortable in his own skin". Despite dating longtime girlfriend Terri Seymour, Cowell is still scrutinised by the media about his sexuality - much to Abdul's disgust. The Straight Up singer is sick of the constant rumours and claims even to fancy the acid-tongued judge herself. She tells Britain's Star magazine, "People say that all the time but no, he's not! His brother always jokes and says that he's gay but Simon has fun with it now. He's very comfortable in his skin. "He's been doing more push-ups lately. There's no excuse for him to dress that way."
