Lance Armstrong on the gay rumors

On the "Out in Hollywood" site, I've tried to take the high road (well, one does have to try) when it comes to all of the scintillating speculation over the close friendship between Lance Armstrong, Matthew McConaughey and Jake Gyllenhaal. These three single hunks, split from Sheryl Crow, Penelope Cruz and Kirsten Dunst, respectively, have been spending more time together than with any gorgeous females.
Here are just a few of the countless pics that make various sites on a regular basis accompanied with all kinds of juicy inuendo:

Of his close friendship with McConaughey, with whom he seemed inseparable last summer, Amtrong says:
"Our friendship just kind of developed. I think people see pictures and they think we're these over-grown frat guys." (they call each other 'LiveStrong' and 'J.K. Livin,' ).

On rumors of something more between the two, Armstrong jokes: 'We tried it. Wasn't for us.'"

In a reference to Gyllenhaal's "Brokeback Mountain" role, asked why Gyllenhaal was sitting in the front when Armstrong thought he preferred to be 'in the rear … of the theater.' Then, referring to McConaughey's recent PEOPLE honor, Armstrong said, 'The Sexiest Man Alive is here, Matthew McConaughey. We don't all have to turn and look – we all know what he looks like. Jake, eyes up here!'"

Anyway, even though no one in this tremendous trio appears to be gay, their male bonding is sucha beautiful thing that I feel compelled to feature even more pics of their adventures in LA, Miami and France:

It's good, clean fun. ....

What I want to know is how you go from training for seven Tour de France races to a booze-guzzling eating-who-knows-what former competitive cyclist. ...

So who should play Lance Armstrong in the movie?

mmmmm...interesting, now that lance has came out, what does it mean for the rest of these guys??
is there any other closet doors creaking?
the mind boggles.......
of course , it may be that matt and jake ARE straight and lance is just a mate....
time will tell
