Yeah Right, Derek Hough!

Derek Hough, one of the flamboyant manly dancers on Dancing With The Stars, is once again denying that he is gay. He does, however, admit that he almost played one on TV. (Almost?)

Derek was suppose to make a guest appearance on ABC's new hit show Cougar Town, but had to cancel due to his rigorous dancing schedule. The role was a gay character who had a "funny little scene" with Courteney Cox.

Derek says:

"It would have been perfect. With all the rumors going around, I thought it would be really funny because it's just not true. But I was like, you know what? If that's what you want to see."

Oh, Derek.

It's cool. We'll wait for you to leave the denial closet!
