After a week where I'm supposed to accept that Simon Cowell is a lock-up-yer-daughters 'heterosexual' lothario, one who unlike any other straight man takes his harem of conquests on holiday with him, I now have to deal with Ryan Seahorse having a girlfriend.

Has the world been turned on its axis this week, maybe a huge solar flare has caused a sudden shift in the magnetic poles and it's affected bird migration and human sexuality.

Ryan told us his giggling girlfriend fancies Phillip, which is of course exactly the sort of thing a man would reveal about his girlfriend on live TV.

Oh well, I'm not going to completely extinguish my 'Ryan is gay' candle, the one I've been burning for years, I can only hope him and his girl plan to take Philip home and share him.

Yes, it was all very odd, wasn't it. I had him down as either gay or asexual. It's the first time he has ever mentioned anything about his personal life on Idol.

Strange, as it is all at the same time as the Simon news.

He's been dating Julianne for a while now.

Well, gay doesn't exist in American Idol land. Apparently Joshua is meant to be straight also.
