American actor Shemar Moore has dismissed reports he is gay, insisting women are the "greatest creation" in the world. The 37-year-old was recently pictured naked on a Maui 'gay beach' in photographs published in tabloid The National Enquirer.

But Moore insists his two naked female companions were edited out of the photos and the beach was, in fact, unisex.

He says, "I went on vacation with two girlfriends of mine who, interestingly enough, got cut out of the pictures. We found a nude beach that, as far as I know, was a unisex beach...

"I had two hot chicks with me who wanted to go skinny dipping. Thank God the water was fairly warm!

"I'll say it right now - I'm not gay. I love women. Women are God's greatest creation. But I have no problem with people who are gay."
