Clay Aiken decided to take his baby out for the day in Los Angeeeles yesterday. He opted not to hold his child, though, in favor of pretending like someone was calling him for the paparazzi.

See everyone? See how he is on the phone?

Someone must care enough to call!

He's too lame.

Baby's cute, though.

American Idol wasn't afraid to give Clay Aiken the cold shoulder when he showed up to the set last week in a bid to reach out to contestant Adam Lambert for a possible "duets" album and concert tour, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

But Clay was also the first Idol contestant to break up with the show's management/producers, 19 Entertainment, taking Kelly Clarkson with him. So is it really any wonder that no one was eager to welcome Aiken into the VIP room?

As a staff member put it, "'To say the least, it was tense around here when Clay showed up — and boy, did they hustle him off the premises as fast as possible. If he didn't get the hint after that — he never will.”

Doesn't Clay have anything better to do?

So presh!

Don't you just wanna pinch those cheeks?

Clay Aiken's babymomma, non-celeb Jaymes Foster, took their son, Parker, out for some lunch to Taste in Los Angeles this past weekend.

The Gayken's been spending some time with the tot in El Lay.

He is so adorable!

We hope Clay Aiken got an advanced copy!

Turns out his baby momma's brother, David Foster, will soon be releasing an autobiography about his life.

David is a music producer who's worked with Celine Dion, Katy Perry's boyfriend, Josh Groban, and everybody else.

In his new book, the music man will be writing about his life and the life of his sister, Jaymes - as well as her baby and relationship with the Gayken.

In a recent interview, David revealed that his sis is "very close with Clay, they're best friends. It made perfect sense to me that he'd want to have a child with his best friend."

He adds that Jaymes "always wanted a child, so it kind of worked out." As for Clay, apparently he's a "spectacular father" and Jaymes is "a natural mother."

And who's going to raise the baby? David says it's all Jaymes "They're working it out. I don't know quite how. It's a bicoastal thing."

We're hoping the book has a lot juicier info than that!

Now that he's out and proud, he can be out and about!

The Gayken attended the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's Media Awards in NYC on Saturday night.

The American Idol loser took downtown drag artist Tyrannosaurus Banks as his date for the special occasion.

Clay was awarded the Power Bottom of the Year award, an honor that went to Lance Bass last year.

Congratulations!

As we mentioned yesterday, Clay Aiken had been rumored to be splitting from his record label, RCA.

Well, today Billboard reports that Aiken and RCA did indeed split and that he actually was dumped left the label a couple of months ago!

Looks like the American Idol reject from season two didn't do so well with his last album, On My Way Here.

The collection only sold about 159,000 in the US. By comparison, his 2003 debut album sold 2.7 million.

People got tired of the Gayken!

He did manage to extend his 15 minutes of fame much longer than most other Idols, though.

Time to retire now, maybe?

The end is near for our dear Clay Aiken! At least so far as his contract with RCA goes.

The label has been removing the Gayken from their roster little by little, with the deletion of his official RCA message board and press materials from the RCA website. Nor was he present at the opening of the American Idol Experience at Disney World.

The only thing missing is an official announcement from RCA!

The Claymates must be weeping into their various Gayken merchandise!

But we've got a feeling he'll land on his his feet like a twinkly glitter pussy and be A-OK.

Looks like 2009 is going to be a good year for Clay Aiken.

The former American Idol winner runner-up has been given the job of a lifetime!!!!!!!!!

He's set to serve as a guest judge on Tyra Bank's America's Next Top Model.

He's probably all giddy and shiz inside!

The 12th season starts at the end of this month.

Let's hope Gayken shows his true diva side in the episode. You know he's probably dying to walk down that runway himself!

Clay and his super cute boyfriend, Broadway actor Reed Kelly, at the closing night party for Spamalot earlier this month.

We're hearing rumblings they may have broken up, though.

That'd be sad!
