    Re: fcuknsexy – I watch and read spanish and english gossip shows and never heard him admit it, he has always gone around the question, he hints of it more in South America but, not in Mexico or here!



  2. 102

    wow, big day.
    first Lohan and now Aiken.

    Re: Moluver

    How about all of the other celeb dudes that have hired a beard (a lot of them are Brazilian beards for some reason) to have a kid? Ricky Martin (like you mentioned), Matthew McConaughey, Vin Diesel…and Michael Jackson hasn't come out yet either! Does Tom count? Am I missing any??



  12. 112

    The baby is cute at least, poor little thing.



  13. 113

    i'm going to LOVE hearing the responses from all of those odd older women fans of his that angrily denied that he was gay. Talk about rocking their world. Guess it's back to quilting ladies!!



  14. 114

    Congratulations, Clay. You're doing the right thing, as a parent and as a gay public figure.



  15. 115

    Re: Wenchtits – Ricky Martin



  16. 116

    GO GET IT PEREZ. YOU KNOW YOU WANT HIS PECKER



  17. 117

    I'm so glad he waited until he was ready to come out, and not bow down to pressure.



  18. 118

    yayyyy!!!!! go Clay!!!!!



  19. 119

    FINALLY. good for him :)



  20. 120

    I've been waiting for this day ever since he was on American Idol. Finally, all of my dreams have come true and I can now die happy.



  21. 121

    what a shock lol nottttttt

  22. yup says – reply to this


    122

    It is so funny that drama that people impose on themselves about "coming out"…as if Clay being gay was a secret. All that pressure and really no one gives a crap!



  23. 123

    When I first read that, I thought it was photoshopped….



  24. 124

    LMAO I LOVE HOW HE DOSENT THINK ANYONE KNOWS….OH WOW HIS BABY IS UGLYYYYYY



  25. 125

    Like, duh. Breaking news.



  26. 126

    Why doesn't People have this on their website?



  27. 127

    Oh, shit! I thought that was KD Lang. Who cares about Clay Aiken, anyway.
    .
    Where has KD been?



  28. 128

    SHOCKER!
    why isnt his babymama on the cover with him…

    whatever…



  29. 129

    I am SO proud of him. What a wonderful decision he has made- now those that still lack courage might feel inspired to be themselves too!



  30. 130

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  31. 131

    aww thats great :) but wow finally. lol.
    we all knew it from the beginning.



  32. 132

    omg he's gay!! lol!! it's about effin time!

  33. k-lee says – reply to this


    133

    cute baby!



  34. 134

    Congratulations, Clay!



  35. 135

    The baby is cute! He looks happy.Well, congrats to him on both huge decisions!

    136

    1. It's about time. 2. I like how this is more important than DJ AMs and Travis Barker's plane crash, according to People.



  37. 137

    took you long enough? jesus christ



  38. 138

    Sorry ladies!



  39. 139

    Hmmm, this is very suspicious indeed. No trace of it on People's site. In case this is actually the cover of their October issue, they're gonna be furious that Perez stole the "big scoop". But this might very well be a huge hoax. Maybe it's April Fool's day in Perezito's alternative reality! ;-)



  40. 140

    wow, good for clay, but seriously his closet was made of glass…



  41. 141

    Thank you, Captain Obvious, for that bit o' information there. Didn't see that one coming…

  42. Laury says – reply to this


    142

    Now tell us something we don't know, Clay. Like we didn't see this one coming. *rolls eyes*



  43. 143

    Kathy Griffen is going to have a field day on this one!



  44. 144

    good for you clay!!! I still lvoe you!! =) had the biggest crush on you during american idol and i still do!!! your son is ADORABLE!!!



  45. 145

    Jesus, am I to be surprised???

    Congrats though on living your life freely without feeling any pressure to keep it a secret anymore Clay and enjoy your new life as a daddy!!!



  46. 146

    Awww, his baby is so cute!



  47. 147

    Re: Sammi

    nobody knows or cares about dj "crispy" am and travis "on fire" barker



  48. 148

    Why do gays find it so necessary to "announce" that they take it up the ass? Especially when we all know damn well and good that they do already? I just don't get it, well, it humors me. You're gay? You want a fricken cookie? God, who gives a shit.

  49. Gen says – reply to this


    149

    Yay! Congratulations Clay! Now make sure you vote Obama/Biden.



  50. 150

    Re: Isidorio – You're right, I just searched and there is nothing!



  51. 151

    I have to say I am so happy for Clay, I always knew he was gay. I am glad that he no longer tries to hide or lie to himself and others. Congrats Clay on being a father and coming out.



  52. 152

    Re: Sammy – lmfao too funny and too true! xoxo



  53. 153

    Good for him!!! :)



  54. 154

    Is Keanu next? That's been another one that has been in the news for years.



  55. 155

    I have one thing to say…….DUHH!!!!!!



  56. 156

    hmmmm… i wonder what he's trying to sell now… this has to be a career move as well…



  57. 157

    It's good that he finally came out! He's such a nice person, and he's so talented. I don't see why this should interfere with his career? It's not like being gay makes him sound any different. : /

  58. assie says – reply to this


    158

    No shit, it's about fucking time. What took so long? Really when everyone already knew what's the use in pretending. What a waste of time. Good for him. I'm sure that's not easy, but it's a little anticlimactic.



  59. 159

    Re: Stool Sample – thats real mean why dont you have some respect for the people who died thats real fucking low



  60. 160

    I am so happy for you Clay!!!



  61. 161

    i never though he'd come out…



  62. 162

    yah…. come on Ricky Martin….don't be the only closeset baby daddy.

  63. pryme says – reply to this


    163

    who is kathy griffin going to make fun of?!?!?! you can't really call him "the gay-kin" now….just not as much fun. hmmmfff.



  64. 164

    It's about f****** time Clay!



  65. 165

    omfgg. drama. lmao. i feel bad for the babyy



  66. 166

    UH DUUUH! But, congrats,



  67. 167

    he is just stating what has been known for years…but nonetheless good for him and it looks like he's lost some weight too.



  68. 168

    Aww! I



  69. 169

    Now all of you CLAYMATES finally know just how FUCKING STUPID you all are!!!



  70. 170

    yay! did coming out day come early? that baby is so freakin ADORABLE!



  71. 171

    OMG FINALLY!!! I've been telling my mom for years that he's gay and she's wouldn't believe it since he's a "Christian" LOL He very well be Christian but he's also gay, thank you Clay for the admission.



  72. 172

    It takes a lot of courage to come out. I am happy for Clay and hope that life brings him nothing but good things. I agree with his philosophy about not raising a child to lie and hide things. Ignore these people saying your career is over. They are out of touch and don't know what they are talking about.



  73. 173

    Good for him! It's not a shock that he is…just that he admits it. I'm so happy for him for now being free from that secret. I wish him and his baby a healthy and happy life!



  74. 174

    Yay!! Congrats on the coming out and the adorable new baby!!! :D



  75. 175

    And this is news HOW? Gah, everyone knew he is gay. There isn't a closet out there big enought to conceal it! Anyhoo, good for you, Clay, ya big Mo.



  76. 176

    I'm not surprised that he's gay, but I'm surprised he came out.



  77. 177

    I think the saddest thing is that he had to even think about coming out, it should have just been out there the whole time. He should have announced it on American Idol when he came in second, like it's no big deal, he's gay. Get over it. Maybe someday it won't be a big deal for most people



  78. 178

    are u serious? whos he coming out to, i think everyone knows hes gay.



  79. 179

    Congratulations Clay! Awesome.

    *
    Still, I think it's unfair that anyone has to "come out", since sexual orientation should be the norm no matter what the orientation. I would hate to have to officially announce that "I am straight".



  80. 180

    DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!!!



  81. 181

    I'm happy for him! Poeple need to stop forcing celebs to come out, it's invasive……..



  82. 182

    oh god really?
    i thought we figured this out years ago



  83. 183

    DING DING DING! FINALLY! Now he can cruise manhunt in peace!



  84. 184

    I totally always new that he was gay.
    Since american idol… lol
    duh.

  85. SKB says – reply to this


    185

    So glad to hear it! Way to go, Papa Clay! And his son is BEAUTIFUL!



  86. 186

    Ok so tell me why we are commending him for coming out? It's not like we couldn't already figure it out. Anyone who does not "willingly" come out these days should not be commended for "finally" doing so. He was ashamed and not proud. If anyone has it easy I would say it's anyone in Hollywood. He would be way more respected had he come out when he was first asked, not because he had a kid with a friend and doesn't want to raise his child in lies.



  87. 187

    No Shit. He's Always Been Gay.



  88. 188

    omg it about time he confirmed it i meen we all knew but hey this is like the icing on the cake



  89. 189

    duhhhhh



  90. 190

    That does it. I'm getting a sex change operation to turn myself into a man so Clay can lay the pipe to me. I love him. I don't care if he is a fudge packer. The guy is talented.



  91. 191

    well, what do I need to say… not a helluva lot!!!



  92. 192

    i think is not going to be a good dad, not because he's gay just because he always has looked stupid to me.



  93. 193

    Re: Nordic Blonde – Play nice, blondie.



  94. 194

    Whoo-Hoo! It's about time, Clay dear. Glad you had the pride to come out today. Just like Lindsay & Samantha. As Pezzie said, "Welcome to the gayborhood!" PS ~ Your little boy is DARLING!!!



  95. 195

    "I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things." That, Perez readers who are homophobes, is why he came out.



  96. 196

    i so called this when he won (or didn't win? iunno)
    american idol!



  97. 197

    It's not a surprised for me. At least now he's comfortable with himself.



  98. 198

    hollywood is so GAY! yaaaay! i love it!



  99. 199

    hahaha ¨yes I'm gay¨ hahahahah we all knew that but is good to know that at least he is brave enough to confess it not like the idiot of lindsay lohan



  100. 200

    I hope he marries LARRY BIRKHEAD and adopt Dannielynn!
