Oprah: I'm Not Gay

Oprah Winfrey and best friend Gayle King address rumors about their close relationship in the August issue of O Magazine, denying they are gay:

"I understand why people think we're gay," Winfrey says. "There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women. So I get why people have to label it -- how can you be this close without it being sexual?"

King goes on to say that they would not hide a gay relationship if one existed.

One more mystery solved. No word yet on why Winfrey keeps foisting King on a public that clearly ain't interested.
