"Bachelor Jake Pavelka is single again and looking for love -- with a gal, not a guy.  The reality star debunked unsubstantiated rumors that he is gay during a Wednesday appearance on The View.\r\nThe topic came up as he and The View&amp;apos;s female panel chatted about ex Vienna Girardi&amp;apos;s charges that they weren&amp;apos;t &amp;quot;intimate&amp;quot; for months during their relationship.\r\n&amp;quot;There was a lack of intimacy because our problems were so heavy,&amp;quot; Pavelka, 32, explained. &amp;quot;I can&amp;apos;t separate love and intimacy  -- and apparently that makes me gay.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBut, when asked point blank whether he is gay, he said, &amp;quot;no, no,&amp;quot; adding, &amp;quot;one of my best friends is gay.  I can&amp;apos;t see how someone can look at [Vienna] and find her  not attractive.&amp;quot;\r\nThe pilot said that he and Girardi &amp;quot;have not spoken&amp;quot; since their fiery TV reunion taped on June 24.  He also defended his angry behavior during that interview.  &amp;quot;What people don&amp;apos;t understand is, that was 24 hours after my [publicist] called me on the set of Drop Dead Diva saying the relationship was over. [Vienna] didn&amp;apos;t call me, it was a publicist,&amp;quot; he charged.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;24 hours later, I&amp;apos;m sitting there and I wasn&amp;apos;t ready,&amp;quot; he said of the joint interview with Girardi, which aired during a July 5  episode of The Bachelorette. &amp;quot;You know when you&amp;apos;re kids and you&amp;apos;re trying to protect yourself? It was like that.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe heartbroken star said, &amp;quot;When I got down on one knee, I meant it. I still believe that you can find love on that show.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPavelka passed on good wishes to just-engaged Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky, a contender for his final rose on The Bachelor before she left for her job at Facebook.  &amp;quot;I knew she would make a beautiful Bachelorette,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ll always have a special place in my heart for her.&amp;quot;\r\nFedotowsky also slammed rumors that Pavelka is gay during a July appearance on Lopez Tonight. &amp;quot;Just because he wears really nice turtleneck sweaters does not mean he&amp;apos;s gay!&amp;quot; she joked."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
