Clay Aiken is gay? To quote Dennis Miller on Jim J. Bullock's coming out, "I couldn't have been more certain of that if he'd blown me before I came out on stage."
The local paper, which is all Clay and all John Edwards all the time, has not printed this story yet.
As when Richard Chamberlain came out, the most common response will be along the lines of "For whose benefit are you admitting this? Your own? We knew!"
Time made big changes in the way it delivers its print magazine. The shift in delivery from Monday to Friday wasn’t about cutting costs but adapting to how the audience consumes media, [Time publisher] McCarrick said. “From Monday to Friday, moment-to-moment, the Web site does the heavy lifting,” he said. “On the weekend, then relax and they’re open to spending time with long-form analysis. We didn’t do this because to cut costs, we actually incurred considerable costs for printing and delivery. This brings the magazine closer to the consumer.”
Online advertising revenue currently accounts for about 10 percent of overall revenue at Time and is projected to grow by 57 percent in 2008 and another 35 percent to 40 percent in 2009, according McCarrick.
While McCarrick thinks online will eventually account for 30 percent to 35 percent of overall revenue, “offline revenue is still the big engine.” Still, one medium is leveraged with another. “We’re putting together a multifaceted approach and it’s no longer clean in terms of one media being separate from another.”
Did he "make" the baby? Because that would be the really surprising thing.
Reminds me of when the president of the student body at my college came out. Someone told me, and I said, "He was in?" "Yeah, he has a girlfriend." "He has a girlfriend? That's ridiculous."
I once owned shoes like Ellen is wearing. During the long-forgotten disco era, I believe. And a matching belt. The ensemble was known as the 'full Cleveland' at the time.
Ok, here is a serious question. I always wondered something about gay men like Clay Aiken who look...well like a female. I mean, if you're into guys don't you go for a guy who looks like a guy rather than a guy who looks like a girl? Seems like it defeats the purpose.
Some people want to know the identity of the baby's mother. Huh? She's right there, in the picture, holding the baby! What I want to know is the identity of the father!
To think Clay Aiken could've become a Scientologist and spared us this heartache wondering all these years, Seven Machos.
BTW, if this story is true, does that mean that soldier, John Paulus, who said Aiken took him roughly from behind in a hotel room was true? It was revealed by (wait for it) The National Enquirer!
The National Enquirer has officially trumped the New York Times this year, as America's paper of record.
If they don't get a Peabody this year, it's just twattage.
OK, I thought that Clay was probably gay from the begining but inspite of my "red state" alliance, I thought he was the most talented and had no problem making the call to vote for him. I was delighted he did as well as he did in IA and wished him great success in his life endeavors. I just hope that he and whomever he considers as his "family" have a great life and. oh, by the way, I will be voting for McCain/Palin.
I hereby dub people who everyone on earth and their tranny lovers know are gay, but refuse to come out for the longest time, only to finally do so at the end:

Nobody in Hollywood was the least surprised about Foster; it was one of those open secrets. You see people like this out all the time, they just don't go to Hyde Lounge. And no, I'm not telling you where they do go.

He didn't notice that when he stepped into the public light the closet had already burnt around him. Did he?

Gay celebrities. That's definitely front-page news. Are there gay hairdressers and field hockey players, too? Time for a hard-hitting investigation...
To permalink to comments you have to insert a c after the #. Weird, but it works.

He's "out"? When was he in?

Aw, thanks!
Well, what's actually shocking is... no, I can't say it. It would be wrong. Somebody else say it.
There goes his music career ...well the career he had enjoyed.
Equally stunning, shocking, surprising, amazing breaking news.
Apparently, "yep" is the special lesbian way to say yes.
Lesbian comedians. Rock star lesbians sing "Yes, I Am."

Not that there's anything wrong with that, right?
OMG! Clay Aiken's Gay??????
Wait, who is Clay Aiken?
Clay Aiken gay? Color me shocked.
Now if Clay had squeezed out that cute little baby, that would be front page news.

I'd go with prongs, not facets.
I'm in complete disillusionment. In fact, when I first saw that cover and that headline, I thought it was the baby who was coming out as gay.
So who's his baby-mama? Debbie Rowe?
Does Clay whats-his name know that Ellen is wearing his shoes?
Trig Palin is the baby's mother.
So who's his baby-mama? Debbie Rowe?
I dunno, who's the female equivalent to David Crosby? Grace Slick? Joan Baez? Boomers, help me out...
Ann, Ellen used to say "yep" on her sitcom. That's where it came from.
And....knock me over with a feather! Clay Aiken is GAY???!!!!! Who knew?
Did he "make" the baby? Because that would be the really surprising thing.

"Yeah, he has a girlfriend."
"He has a girlfriend? That's ridiculous."
The mother is actually a songwriter from LA named Jaymes. Yes, her name is Jaymes.
This is shocking, shocking, shocking news. I simply had no idea at all. Oh what shall we do?
What I wanna know is how did frog Degeneris get butterfly DeRossi?
I once owned shoes like Ellen is wearing. During the long-forgotten disco era, I believe. And a matching belt. The ensemble was known as the 'full Cleveland' at the time.
Shepard Smith wants Clay to come home soon,and all will be forgiven.

Dianne Wiest had a baby!
(What horrible, terrible, wrong thing were you going to say, Althouse?)

That is just rude!
Clay does not look like a female.
if you're into guys don't you go for a guy who looks like a guy rather than a guy who looks like a girl?
This merely demonstrates that it probably sucks to be gay and look like Clay Aiken.
"The mother is actually a songwriter from LA named Jaymes. Yes, her name is Jaymes."
The sperm donor was actually named Bartles. They got him tanked up on wine coolers before he could get it up.
I always wondered something about gay men like Clay Aiken who look...well like a female.
That is just rude!
Well its true, rude or not although he has nicer tits in the photo you linked.
What's actually shocking is that there were deluded (mostly) female fans who didn't see this announcement coming from miles away.
Denial can be so strong.
My kinda gal.
Who on earth thought this man wasn't gay? I find it hard to believe.
Who on earth thought this man wasn't gay?
They did.
And so did she.
Gentle gents with giant genitals
Were his cup of semen,
He drew the line at gentile giants
Whose uncircumcised size left him screaming.
Kathy Griffin will be so surprised.
Could those pictures any BIGGER?
We like our gays BIG.
Who the hell is Clay Aiken, and why does he matter to anyone? If he wants to schtupp some guy at home, why on Earth should I care?
There's a huge difference between celebrity and importance. I assume this guy is a celebrity of some sort, but he's obviously not important.
Even if he were important, why would anyone care, one way or the other?
Well, I stand corrected.
Where have you gone, Morrissey, George Michael, and Rock Hudson? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
Chuck, you're right. The size was not aesthetically pleasing. I made them smaller for you.
We like our gays BIG.
We sure do...
Did not see that coming.
I also don't think Tom Cruise or John Travolta are gay either. Yep, 100% not gay.
Yes, Victoria. Thank God our actor gays remain handsome and relatively hunky and manly. And trapped in cults.

"Did he 'make' the baby? Because that would be the really surprising thing."
When you find out the father of your baby is gay, then you can be surprised. Until then, buzz the hell off.

Well, now you've done it. Now you've offended Trumpit's tender gay sensibilities.
All bets are off.
What I wanna know is how did frog Degeneris get butterfly DeRossi?
How do frogs always get butterflies? With the tongue...
So these two lesbians are sitting at a gay bar. One of them says to the other, "Who is that creepy, butchy, weird blond back in the corner?"
"Oh, that's Ellen Degeneres. She always goes home with the most beautiful woman here every night."
"Really? How?"
"I don't know. No one knows. She just sits back there, licking her eyebrows."
You have to give Ellen credit, though. She stayed funny.
And whoever Clay is... I hope he stays funny too.
He sure can sing.
Ruben Studdard won that round of American Idol, but you guys already know that. Ruben can really sing too.
This news is so shocking, I'm forced to immerse myself in making a batch of ravioli.
What do you call a lesbian in outer space?
Alien Degeneras.
Props to Craig Ferguson.
Ooops.
Degeneres*
I made them smaller for you.
Cold water does the same thing.
I was pleased when Neil Patrick Harris came out recently, also somewhat redundantly. I would like to have more like him.
Trumpit is Gay? I thought he was a satirist.
So did the blond guy from Boyz N The Hood, or Bros, or NY SYNC, or something. Sorry, I'm not musical.
That was also a shocker, wunn't it?
It's a wonder we still have some holdouts out there, yes Anderson Cooper I am talking to YOU. And you, Miss Foster.
And well, you too, Ricky Martin.
But not, I repeat not, Levi Johnson. That would totally suck ass.

Oh, forgot.

I plan on using my newly coined term soon.
Cheers,

I think people who come out of the closet suck.
"What I wanna know is how did frog Degeneris get butterfly DeRossi?
Money, fame, connections....
I actually think poor Ellen may have gotten another ringer. DeRossie apparently "discovered" her true sexuality after knowing Ellen a year. Uh oh.

It was Lance Bass from NStYNC.
Jodie came out a few months ago...everyone yawned...
"But not, I repeat not, Levi Johnson. That would totally suck ass."
Must... resist... gay... Levi Johnson... sucking ass... rimming... joke...
Wait Jodie Foster came out PUBLICLY, and this didn't make news, like with fireworks courtesy of The Advocate and Perez Hilton using Paint to scribble a vagina on her face??
That is NOT funny, Palladian, sir! You take that visual back, he's mine.
Ernie, I got your challenge acceptance about the bras and panties. You're on! And I might be off...
You know when your gaydar is pegging on the MAX, you should totally ignore it.
This is what I think: Clay Aiken
Who.
Cares?

Yeah, ET did a 3 minute feature, and that was it.
Nobody in Hollywood was the least surprised about Foster; it was one of those open secrets. You see people like this out all the time, they just don't go to Hyde Lounge. And no, I'm not telling you where they do go.
