Although we never heard the rumors, the inexplicably acclaimed lounge singer Alicia Keys is denying she's a lesbian. But she says she gets it why people might have thought she was, especially at the beginning of her career. "I was definitely rough around the edges. I look back at certain interviews and I'm like, 'Damn! Did I have to look that hard? Did I have to do my hair that way?' I could see why people couldn't see the diamond in the rough. I didn't take it to heart. I know what I am. I know it's not true." Last year, you might recall, she was dating Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, but she made him wait a year to have sex "because my body is too beautiful to be violated by someone who doesn't deserve it."
