Derek Hough comes out... as straight! Hottie pro-dancer (and talented musician), Derek Hough, from ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS, says that he can laugh at the untrue rumors that he's gay. Derek is so cool about all things gay, that he almost played a gay character on the new Courtney Cox series COUGAR TOWN.

According to E! Online:

"It would have been perfect," Hough said. "With all the rumors going around, I thought it would be really funny because it's just not true. But I was like, you know what? If that's what you want to see."
