Cowboy from The Village People calls Simon Cowell the biggest queen on TV

Randy Jones, the cowboy from 70s supergroup The Village People gave an interview to The Enquirer in which he named the male celebrities who set off his gaydar. He says he doesn’t see why they don’t come out of the closet at this point as it’s no longer a liability to be gay in Hollywood.

He lists off the usual suspects: Clay Aiken, John Travolta, Kenny Chesney… and Simon Cowell. He says Simon’s unique brand of bitchiness is a sure sign of a raging queen.

“Times have changed. I think actors and singers should realize that they can still be successful even if they are openly homosexual,” Jones told The Enquirer in an exclusive interview.

“In my opinion, Simon Cowell is the biggest queen on TV. To me, he gives off a ‘bi/gay’ vibe and tends to carry on with bitchy, campy commentary. I know a lot of gay men and Simon seems to me like a ‘gay wannabe.’”

Jones goes on to say that Kenny Chesney and Clay Aiken shouldn’t deny that they’re gay if they really are. He said they should be proud of their orientation and that they won’t lose fans if they come out of the closet.

He also said “I knew John [Travolta] in the 70s when he was great-looking, hotter than hot, buff Hollywood stud. Now he’s a big fat lady - at least in the movies!”

While The Village People are known as a gay icon group not all of the members are/were gay. The Lead singer Victor Willis, who was both the police officer and sailor, was married to Phylicia Rashad of The Cosby Show from 1978 to 1980.

I think Simon Cowell is straight, but he does have the bitchy thing down to a tee, the guy’s got a point.
