He's Clay. He's Gay. Get used to it.



In a hard-hitting scoop that is gonna (adult-pop) rock the entertainment news cycle like a John Tesh Christmas album, Clay Aiken dropped an "obvious bomb" to People magazine that he is, in fact, gay. According to the Associated Press, Raleigh, NC's favorite androgynous son and recent father is on the cover of the magazine, which hits newsstands Wednesday:

"The cover of the latest People magazine shows Aiken holding his infant son, Parker Foster Aiken, with the headline: 'Yes, I'm Gay.' The cover also has the quote: 'I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things.'"(AP)

Exactly. You knew it. I knew it. Parker Foster Aiken probably knew it. So before you have to listen to stale-ass talk show hosts recycling lame cracks about it from three years ago or "entertainment experts" filling some time analyzing it on 24-hour news networks with their own unoriginal snark, let me just say congrats to Mr. Aiken. Congrats for sucking it up and coming to grips with yourself. I know you knew that this would rock your army of Claymates (conservative middle-aged women who serve as his financial base) more than most of the country and at least cause you some financial shortcomings in the short term. Honestly though, it's 2008, and the rest of us don't really give a shit. So congrats, dude: be happy, raise your kid honestly, and go take down some co-star on Broadway -- just don't get caught getting your picture taken, 'cause, though we support you, we don't want to see one frame of it.


UPDATE: This just in... apparently Lohan recently prefers her scrimmages to be inter-squad as well. Accepting pictures or videos.
