'Desperate Housewives' star Marcia Cross who plays Bree Van De Kamp in the show is angrily denying press reports she is gay.
The actress' publicist insists the rumours are "completely untrue", but stipulates Cross is "very supportive of the gay and lesbian community".
Cross says: "It was very odd and I assume this is what comes of being 42 and single. I don't know if they just needed to find a reason why I wasn't married."
She also said she did not know what all the fuss was about.
"I did think it was really weird that there was all this curiosity about something like that, about sexuality. I thought, 'What a world we live that that's so important."
Rumours about her sexuality circulated when American tabloids reported she was planning to pose for US gay magazine The
Advocate.
