Kim Kardashian stripped down in front of pal Jonathan Cheban to gauge whether or not he is gay

Kim Kardashian was in the closet to speak, of her New York hotel and decided to carry out the “test” after Kris Humphries gets her thinking about Jonathan Cheban’s sexual orientation.

Kris Humphries is convinced PR guru Jonathan Cheban is homosexual – and tells him as much – but Kim Kardashian is not so sure, saying they have never talked about his private life before.

The results of her little striptease – which aired last night in an episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York – are inconclusive, however. Jonathan Cheban averts his eyes when she strips to her bra.

Later, Kim Kardashian tells Kris Humphries: “I got changed in front of him to see if he would look but he didn’t.”

However, she concluded, he could have just been being polite and courteous.

During their closet encounter, Kim Kardashian quizzes Jonathan Cheban about what he looks for in a partner.

He jokes: “Light skinned, big ass,” to which she jokes back: “What if we are in love with each other.”

Later, in an apparent bid to prove he is straight, Jonathan Cheban goes on date with woman.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries meet her at his home before they go out – where Kris again asks Jonathan Cheban about his sexual preference.

While Jonathan Cheban remained rather elusive about his sexual orientation, he apparently wanted to prove conspiracy theorist Kris Humphries wrong, whose suspicions were alerted after accompanying Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban on a trip to a candle shop.

While Kris Humphries sat their looking bored, Jonathan Cheban appeared to enjoy perusing all the scented products on offer, which Kris finds odd.

Whatever the case, Jonathan Cheban was last week spotted in Miami soaking up the sun with a mystery brunette where they put on an affectionate display.
