Seacreast: Gay or Uber Gay?

"In a 2003 interview, Seacrest answered gay rumors in an interview with the weekly entertainment magazine Steppin' Out [1]:
I'm trying to think of the best way to describe the feeling I get when I hear that particular rumor. I am a certain way. I am relatively clean-cut and I do like to shop for clothes. If I had to break it down stereotypically, that would be a gay male habit. Well for me it's not. It's a straight male habit.
In May 2006, Teri Hatcher insinuated Seacrest was gay on Late Show with David Letterman. Earlier in the evening, a gag with Mother's Day gifts included a diamond studded heart which read 'I'm gay.' When Letterman asked 'Whose type do you think he is?', she responded 'I think there was a Mother's Day gift that he should buy,' referring to the earlier joke.
On an episode of On Air with Ryan Seacrest, where Gene Simmons of KISS was a guest, Simmons said that he was going to become a rabbi but then he saw a girl jumprope and he changed his mind. Simmons then asked Seacrest if he went 'that way'; Seacrest replied that he went 'both ways.' There was then an awkward moment of silence, implying that Seacrest may be bisexual."
