JC Chasez: Just looking for new friends?

OK, so here's the deal. I don't like to speculate about the sexuality of famous people. I know it's tempting but you gotta draw the line somewhere. But if a famous person issues any kind of statement responding to speculation about the subject, it seems to me to be fair game.
That said, there are plenty of people wondering if former NSYNC band member JC Chasez was hitting on a guy last week. According to the New York Daily News, the following occured and I quote the paper's item verbatim: "JC Chasez seemed very interested in meeting a particularly handsome young gentleman during Fashion Week. Of course, the poor bastard had to pick a guy who was friends with a gossip columnist. "[His publicist] was like, 'JC is going to be at such and such a place later, and he'd love to hang out with you,' " sez the olive-skinned hunk, who declined to share his phone number. Chasez's rep says he does not recall that conversation taking place. "And if it did, it would just be to hang out in a group, because he's a cool guy, not like a setup," he explained. Snickers bar, anyone?"

Whatever the case is, he sure is CUTE!
