Yesterday, Clay Aiken shared with the world that yes, he is gay and has been for a very long time. Of course, there was a LOT of feedback on this, especially from his fans nicknamed Claymates; many of them were not happy and felt that he had betrayed them with this admission.

However, I applaud Clay for taking an honest stand about who he is, especially now with baby Parker in the picture. His best friend Jaymes Foster, who was inseminated to carry Parker, had this to say about Clay coming out:

I totally support him. It’s his choice. It’s a choice that he made. I love him and I’ll support him in any choice that he makes, whether as an entertainer, or a father, human being, of course I support him.

She’s staying with Clay at his house in North Carolina, and they both are taking care of the baby: he’s got nail clipping duty, while she drew bath time. Sounds like a pretty good arrangement!

In addition, another singer who had a VERY public outing himself as well, Lance Bass, had this to say about Clay’s decision to make his lifestyle public:

“I’m happy for him,” says Bass, 29. “It’s good to see someone actually being true to who they are. I think it’s something that’s nice to share with the world, because it really does relieve a lot of pressure off of you.”

Last, but not least, here’s a great video of Clay Aiken on Good Morning America this morning: listen to him singing to baby Parker, and he also talks about his decision to come out.

See this guy?

In this week’s edition of People magazine, Clay Aiken will be on the cover with the words “I AM GAY” plastered over his face. Yes, it’s true - and you Claymates just better stop sending me angry letters and leaving paper bags of flaming poo on my doorstep. Or maybe that’s just my mother in law? Huh. Either way, interesting news and while we ALL ALREADY KINDA KNEW, it’s nice to hear that we were justified.

Well, knock me over with a feather. Apparently, crooner Clay Aiken has somewhat proved that he, you know, HAS A PENIS by knocking up his best friend Jaymes Foster, a record producer whom he stays with when he’s in LA. Oh, and get this? SHE’S 50 YEARS OLD. Uh huh.

I’ve been diligently researching this news for you lovely peoples and it looks like maybe Clay didn’t actually have to get anywhere near Old Lady Va-Jay-Jay; she just borrowed his Little Clays and is artificially inseminated. What do you think he thought about when he was squeezing off a few knuckle children…..Barbra Streisand? Hulk Hogan? The entire cast of Hogan’s Heroes? Truly fascinating.

Frankly, I’m pretty grossed out by this news, but here’s the thing that gets me: she couldn’t have found someone OTHER than Clay to be her baby daddy? That was it as far as candidates? And what in the world is she thinking getting preggers at 50. Cripes, she’ll be a walker when the kid graduates from high school.

So! Do you think this is really true? Did Clay’s spermies take a ride into the Cave of No Return?

Clay Aiken has stated publicly that not only does he not want to be in a relationship, he actually has no desire whatsoever. Like, something in him might be busted. Well, either that or he just hasn’t met the right person yet!

He imagines his social life here will be “nonexistent, really. I’m not a nighttime person.” He does not plan on dating, and he is not involved with anyone. “Heck, no,” he says. “My dogs.” He has never had a romantic relationship with anyone, unless you count the girls he took to dances back in high school in Raleigh. “I just don’t have an interest in … any of that at all. I have got too much on my plate,” he says. “I’d rather focus on one thing and do that when I can devote time to it, and right now, I just don’t have any desire.”

But Aiken is 29 years old and he is also a human. Surely he must have needs. Urges. He contemplates this in silence for 20 or 30 seconds. “Ah think maybe I don’t! I mean, not really. I’ve just kind of shut it off, maybe. Is that bad?”

I don’t think it’s bad as much as it’s highly freaky and concerning. Although maybe he’s just so focused on his career that it’s taken over as his desire receptor. Or something. I don’t know what I’m talking about, actually.
