Simon Cowell has more important things to worry about than your thoughts on his sexuality.

To wit: Who will be joining Demi Lovato as a judge on The X Factor this fall? And how can he stop that show from sucking?

So when asked by Great Britain’s Radio Times about rumors that he’s gay, the TV and music producer gave a classic, Cowell-like response: No, but think whatever the heck you want!

“I couldn’t care less because it’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Cowell said. “It feels like such an antiquated question now. If I was living 200 years ago in a coal mine, maybe, but I work in possibly the gayest industry in the world.”

 

HAHA, how true!

What else needs to be even be said on the matter?

Little, but Simon did elaborate that if he were gay, “it would make no difference to my life or my career. A lot of my friends are gay, but I’m not.”

And there you have it, folks. Spread all the rumors your heart sees fit.
