In other via-related news, we hear from the Gawsters that Renee Zellweger's ex-hubby and alleged country music sensation Kenny Chesney had an interview with Anderson Cooper about all those gay rumors. Zellwegger and Chesney had their four month marriage annulled for "fraud". Many thought that meant Chesney had just duped the perpetually constipted Zellweger into marrying him under false pretenses. According to Chesney, that's just a bunch of bullshit. He bemoans to Cooper:

The only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew...what it was like to be married, and I really didn't... We thought the least harmful (stated reason) was fraud because it (is) kind of broad... We were wrong.

It's not true. Period. Maybe I should have come out and said no, I'm not (gay), but I didn't want to draw any more attention to it...I didn't have to prove to anybody that I wasn't (gay)...

(We won't even attempt to make a joke about how Anderson Cooper's conducting the interview. We're cheap, but not that cheap.)

We promise this will be the last time we mention horses, cowboys or anything country-western. Our TV's been stuck on CMT all day and we're too lazy to get off our butts and search for the remote. Still, we couldn't let another day pass without at least addressing the rumors surrounding the marital break-up of our favorite odd couple, Kenny Chesney and pouty-faced actress Renee Zellweger. Zellweger has mysteriously cited "fraud" as the reason for the annulment. This of course has every has every blogger and their mother scream "Gay! Gay! Gay!" The Boston Herald has even devoted an entire article to Chesney's sexuality.

And now he's also come out to reassure us all that he'll "be OK." But his publicist says he is "unequivocally not gay."

OK, we're not totally convinced the little country crooner might be playing on our team just yet. Not until the inevitable Reichen Lehmkuhl hook-up rumors surface.
