Clay Aiken Comes Out of His Glass Closet

Not that we didn’t know already, but Clay Aiken has decided to officially come out of the closet and declare to the world that he is gay.

He says he’s not doing it to appease the public, nor is he really doing it for himself. He is doing it for his new baby, Parker.

“It was the first decision I made as a father. I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that.”

Still, he says he expects a backlash from fans who don’t accept him for who he is.

“Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it’s going to be a lot. [I hope my fans] know that I’ve never intended to lie to anybody at all. But if they leave, I don’t want them to leave hating me.”

Aiken, 29, comes from a Christian family and says he found it difficult to tell his mother the truth. Then one day he just couldn’t hold it in anymore. He and his mother, Faye, had just dropped off his younger brother Brett, who was being deployed to Iraq, at Camp Lejeune.

He recalls, “I started crying in the car. It was dark. I was sitting there, thinking to myself. I don’t know why I started thinking about it. I just started bawling. She made me pull over the car and it just came out.

“She started crying. She was obviously somewhat stunned. But she was very supportive and very comforting. She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she’s come a long way.”

Regarding his own son, who was conceived via in-vitro fertilization, he says that he will be “accepting and allowing him to be happy. I have no idea if he’ll be gay or straight. It’s not something I’ll have anything to do with, or that he’ll have anything to do with. It’s already probably up inside the code there. No matter what the situation you’re in, if you’re raised in a loving environment, that’s the most important thing.”

Good for Clay. People make fun of him, but I think he is adorable. I bet he feels like the weight of the world has just been lifted off his shoulders.

And isn’t his baby just darling??

And you thought Clay Aiken was gay!

Reports have surfaced today that Aiken, 29, knocked up his 50 year-old producer and best friend. Yes, it’s a woman! Her name is Jaymes (I know..) Foster and she is the sister of legendary music producer & songwriter, David Foster.

The baby is due in August, so they have been holding onto this secret for awhile.

I still don’t know if I believe it, I’m just reporting it!

Update: People is reporting that Foster was artificially inseminated. Ok, now it’s making sense! Heh.

David Foster’s rep confirmed the news saying, “The story is true. It is true Clay is the father. She was artificially inseminated by Clay. She’s due in August.”

Woman Nearly Kicks Clay Aiken’s Ass on Airplane

Clay Aiken was involved in a dispute on an airplane Saturday while en route to Tulsa.

It seems Clay couldn’t keep his feet off off a woman’s armrest and she finally tired of his diva ass and let him have it.

FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson confirmed there was a dispute between a male and female passenger but wouldn’t say if the female was indeed Aiken.

Heh.

Johnson added that there were allegations of the woman giving the man a slight shove.

Aiken reportedly joked about the incident on stage during a performance later that evening saying he was beat up by a girl.

Tulsa Airport Authority spokeswoman Alexis Higgins said the passengers were held until FBI agents arrived to interview them. No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.
