Taking Twitter on storm.
Bruno Mars has found himself in the middle of a massive social-networking rumor. His rumor is a bit different than the standard death hoax. According to at least one report, the "Grenade" singer has revealed he is a homosexual.
According to the iCNN report, Bruno made the admission during an interview on a Chicago radio station. He just so happened to make the announcement on Sunday, April 1, you know, April Fool's Day. But, Bruno insisted it was not a joke, "The timing is bad. I hadn't realized it was April Fool's Day, but it's been pointed out to me, and I don't want to go too public with this."
Too public? In this day and age, a whisper in a friend's ear quickly becomes headline news. Bruno explains his "coming out" approach, "I will not go to great lengths to spread this news." He almost sounds ashamed or embarrassed, which is incredibly sad. He has no reason to feel that way if the story is true. He is a talented musician, and hopefully, people will judge him by his talent, not his sexuality.
A rep for the singer has told Gossip Cop the story is "completely fabricated." Fans have already criticized the site for insinuating being gay is a bad thing. Quite frankly, one's sexuality has nothing to do with talent, but some people choose to live inside closed minds and will ostracize the Grammy winner.
Even if the story was meant as a joke, it has already planted a seed in thousands of people's minds. His every move will be analyzed and dissected as people look for signs he may, in fact, be gay. The original report on iCNN has been flagged as inappropriate and is currently under review, indicating it was most likely false to begin with.
What do you think? Should Bruno Mars address the rumors or carry on with business as usual?

Cant stand him but good on him if he has... otherwise stop being an attention-seeking twat by not addressing it.
