But on last night's I'm a Celebrity… he said, "I make a really good gay best friend, but I don't like guys, so it confuses people."

Consider us confused. He went on to say that he's a "straight gay best friend," which he claimed was a legit term that lots of people use, explaining, "I do hair and I'll sit in the corner and knit and a lot of my friends refer to me as their 'straight gay best friend' because we'll go do things that you stereotypically will do with a gay guy. It sucks that that's the term, but that's the kinda the term that has come to be."

Janice, who has a reciprocal love for gay men, wasn't buying it. But at the same time, Sanjaya is only 19, and entered the national spotlight through American Idol when he was just 16. It must be incredibly difficult to deal with that kind of sudden fame, even if you aren't being questioned about your sexuality (or questioning it yourself). What he does with his dick is his own business, but his explanation was too odd not to notice. Hopefully, hanging out with Janice will help him not be afraid to be the person he really is, whether that's a gay guy, or a straight guy who likes to braid hair.

<![CDATA[Teen Choice Awards Fashion: Why God, Why?]]> The Teen Choice Awards: Ah, how we love that bastion of the little man's (or, er, of the little tween) freedom of expression. The stars pretend they care about their young fans. The young fans cry at the sight of the stars. It's an equal opportunity masturbatory red carpet heydey. The fashion however? Oy. Best summarized by Jessica Alba's outfit here: It started so pretty! But oh GAWD! Those shoes! The good, the bad, and the ugly, after the jump.

teenchoicegood.gifThe Good: Sophia Bush looks sleek, Eve proves that jumpsuits are hot, Oleysa Rudin rocks modest-chic, and Emily Deschanel is just so pretty and classy that we would totally hate her if we didn't totally love her.

teenchoicebad.gifThe Bad: Miley Cyrus found Nemo — on her dress, Avril Lavigne needs to get a new look already, Vanessa Hudgens looks like Cleopatra at the prom, and Hillary Duff could be twins with pre-nose job Ashlee Simpson

teenchoiceugly.gifThe Ugly: David Spade, Ryan Seacrest, Sanjaya, and Larry Birkhead: Enough said.
