In an interview with Ebony Magazine, Jada Pinkett Smith says she really doesn't care about rumors that float around regarding her fam.

"You want people to talk about you, because once they stop talking about you, that's when you're really in trouble!"

True, but does she draw the line when it comes to her sexuality?

"I'm happy to have people talk about all the craziness they want to talk about, whether it's things like every year we're getting divorced, or we're an open family or Will's gay, or I'm gay," Jada 'fesses.

Well that's a...refreshing take on it all. Maybe she doesn't need to worry about people thinking she's a lesby 'cause her hubby blabs around town about how good their sex life is.

Either way, it's become quite interesting to see how stars deal with the gay talk. Hugh Jackman has been the subject of all that for quite sometime, and he also kinda responded to it recently in an interview with Parade.

"I'd be happy to go and deny it, because I'm not. But by denying it, I'm saying there is something shameful about it, and there isn't anything shameful. The questions about sexuality I find more here in America than anywhere else, because it's a big hang-up and defines what people think about themselves and others. It's not a big issue in Australia."

Hugh didn't miss a beat tho to throw that "because I'm not" in there; still, it's a pretty well-thought-out answer.

What do you all find more convincing? A straight-up denial or when stars play with and sometimes flame the chitchat? Do let us know bi all...I mean, by all means.
