Country western star laughs off gay rumors and adds if she was a lesbian, she would 'come flying out of the closet'

Gay twins turn their devotion to Dolly Parton into film

'Hollywood to Dollywood' chronicles Gary and Larry Lane's cross-country adventure

Gary and Larry Lane left their native North Carolina more than a decade ago to try their luck in Hollywood.

Equipped with wholesome good looks and charm, they have modeled, made commercials, gotten bit parts in movies and TV shows and been big winners on the reality shows Fear Factor and Winter Wipeout.

The twins, both gay, have also been working on writing scripts - one that they wrote especially for their idol, Dolly Parton. They had met Parton briefly at several Hollywood events but had no inside connections to get her to read their script.
