The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka told the panel of The View Wednesday that he's not gay, and RadarOnline.com has all the scoop for for you.
The gay rumors sprouted up after Pavelka's ex Vienna Girardi went on the offensive after their messy break-up following Jake's stint on Dancing with the Stars this spring, saying that the pair went months without "intimacy" -- i.e., sex.

According to Pavelka, his problems with Girardi outside the bedroom all but killed any chemistry they might have had between the sheets.
"There was a lack of intimacy because our problems were so heavy," Pavelka, 32, said on The View. "I can't separate love and intimacy. And apparently, that makes me gay."

When asked point blank if he's homosexual, Pavelka, a Dallas-based airline pilot, replied: "No; one of my best friends is gay. I can't see how someone can look at [Vienna] and find her not attractive."
Pavelka said that when he knelt "down on one knee [to Girardi, he] meant it.

"I still believe that you can find love on that show," Pavelka said.
Last week, talk show host George Lopez asked another of Jake's beauties from The Bachelor, Ali Fedotowsky, if she thinks Pavelka is gay.

Fedotowsky said she doesn't believe him to be, adding that "just because he wears really nice turtleneck sweaters, that doesn't mean he's gay."















If you have to make a public statement declaring that you're not gay... you're probably gay.

Jake is a con man if there ever was one! He's a bald-faced liar who is only after fame and fortune, and he knows being gay would hurt that. I read ABC won't allow Vienna to co-host The View. I'd want to defend myself from this sick jerk.

"One of his best friends is gay"? What does THAT mean? Bet the ladies loved it at the end when he singled Elizabeth out as being so attractive. He may not be gay... but he is certainly clueless.

Maybe he's in denial and hasn't come to that conclusion yet. He doesn't want to ruin his "career".
