Clay Aiken to People: Yes, I’m Gay
All over America, girls are sobbing into pillows. One of the most seemingly eligible bachelors is off the market - at least as far as they’re concerned. Years of speculation, rumors and probing questions have finally come to an end.
That’s right. American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken is gay. As if we didn’t know.
The full story premieres in People’s newest issue, set to hit newsstands on Friday. “Yes, I’m gay,” reads the Aiken quote. If your jaw isn’t dropping, that’s okay - this guy has had “gay” written all over him from the word go, and the thought that anyone might really be thrown for a loop with this info is the real shocker.
Yes, Clay…we know you’re gay. We just can’t believe you’re finally ready to own it. “It was the first decision I made as a father,” said Aiken in his interview. “I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that.”
Read More Clay Aiken, 29, fathered a child with Jaymes Foster, sister of David Foster, who’s somewhere in her fifties. The child was born August 8. Aiken stated in his interview that he “never intended to lie to anybody at all.” And that’s true. For years, Clay ignored questions, refused to answer and maintained that he has a right to his own privacy. Never giving a straight answer was his defense against the offensive questions. He was much more forthcoming with his own family, of course. In fact, Aiken dropped the bomb to his mother four years ago. “She started crying. She was obviously somewhat stunned,” Clay recalled. Really? Why? Does she live under a rock? “She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she’s come a long way.” As for his son, Clay has no plans or expectations when it comes to his sexuality. “I have no idea if he’ll be gay or straight,” said Aiken. “No matter what the situation you’re in, if you’re raised in a loving environment, that’s the most important thing.” The worst-kept secret in show business is out…and so is Clay Aiken. Try not to fall over from the shock of it all.

On the Lot is a good idea executed poorly.
You find filmmakers starting out in the industry, put them into a competition, and the winner receives an opportunity to work at Dreamworks.
What they did right, was find a good mix of contestants from all over the world.
But to feature them in an American Idol type contest was all wrong. Who cares about a live elimination? And voting for your favorite? Um, okay, but why not leave it up to the judges and pre-tape everything?
Which leads me to…
The judges are all wrong. I’m not sure whose bright idea it was to have people in the industry judge their peers, but to me a better idea would have been to use movie critics. I’m not sure if the current judges don’t want to discourage someone starting out or they’re afraid of upsetting someone who may become a director, but they’re all too nice. You need some criticism, especially when you’re at home thinking to youself, “That short was a piece of @*#!” but on TV they’re saying, “Well…IT…looked good”
There’s apparently trouble behind the scenes, as we’re already on host #2, the show’s been reduced to 1 day a week from 3 days, and 6 contestants disappeared without any explanation.
It would not surpise me if the show was pulled early.
