Looks Like Chace Crawford's Nate isn't the Gay on Gossip Girl

Probably not Nate Archibald, unless he's got his face in his beard. We still think it's young, troubled Eric van der Woodsen.

In related news, I came across some video of JC Chasez, defusing that real-life gay gossip. You can watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

JC Chasez: The Fact of the Matter is I'm a Straight Guy

At last night's live finale of Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew, JC Chasez repeated assertions about his relationship with Chace Crawford to People: "You know what, it's laughable the first time. I think the tenth time, it gets annoying. I don't care about [people's] assumptions or anything, but when people outright lie, that's wrong. So I think that part of the rumor is outright stupid. The fact of the matter is I'm a straight guy and I'm allowed to have [guy] friends."

J.C. Chasez on Chace Crawford: We're Not Dating

J.C. Chasez called in to 104.7 KISS FM morning show JohnJay and Rich today and the hosts asked him about his frequent companion and BFF Chace Crawford.

Said Chasez: "Well you know what, it's stupid, really...for the record, we're both straight, we're not dating. Lets clear that up real quickly and the thing is, we don't even get to hang out that much. We are friends, absolutely, the guy is a super nice guy and he's a friend of mine but you know the only time people would usually see us together is in some kind of photograph so they just assume that it's like that. You know people hang out with their best friends every day......and I don't even see this guy every day. He's a friend of mine, like I said, but it's just ridiculous. The fact of the matter is, if I'm standing next to a girl and I don't have a girlfriend all the sudden I'm dating her. If I'm dating a girl and I'm standing next to another girl I'm having an affair, so now since there hasn't been any of that smoke out there in a minute. Now if I'm hanging out with a guy they're going to make up a rumor, it's just stupid now. You know what, I don't have any control over [the rumors]. You know, they're not saying anything that's based on fact or at least not in their minds. People say, 'they were standing next to each other so in my opinion it's blah blah blah'. It's just stupid, it's pretty much a waste of everybody's time. Ya know."

Chace Crawford and J.C. Chasez Hold 'Boys Party' in Hotel Cabana

Inseparable twosome JC Chasez and Chace Crawford were apparently causing a scene poolside at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel over the weekend, according to this handy diagram provided by Defamer.

Defamer writes: "Before jumping to conclusions about what it means for two handsome young men to share a poolside cabana with some of their best bros, and all the mutual lotion-application that implies, we'd caution instead that nothing in this scenario should necessarily arouse any further suspicions."

With Gossip Girl reportedly about to out a major character, the real-life intrigue of one of its male stars seems to be the thread Hollywood watchers are following.

The NY Daily News' Rush & Molloy found "'Gossip Girl' hottie Ed Westwick brushing off pesky Internet rumors that he and co-star Chace Crawford are gay. 'It's just because we live together, but we're just mates,' the British actor shrugged at the Audi Forum party."

Now Westwick's supposedly gay? That's certainly a new one. TMZ grilled Crawford over the weekend on the rumors about he and Chasez, but didn't get much of a response. Co-star Leighton Meester said of the twosome: "I can say with absolute certainty that's not true."

Of course, what's to be expected when you star on a show that centers around a blog and its gossip? As Defamer notes, "This could be the most ambitious viral marketing campaign in network history!"

JC Chasez and Chace Crawford: Attached at the Hip

JC Chasez and Chace Crawford are like the new Matthew McConaughey and Lance Armstrong, without the shirtlessness.

After last week's Elton John Oscar party Chasez and Crawford took a trip to Vegas together where they took matching photos with New York Giant Michael Strahan.

They're likely just BFFs. Who possibly have moved in together.

Whatever the case, they make a good match.
