Star Magazine is reporting that Clay Aiken is dating Broadway dancer Reed Kelly. The article says, "They even appeared together at Rosie O'Donnell's Building Dreams for Kids gala last month. 'It was obvious they were a couple,' a partygoers says." Good for Clay, he deserves some hot man sex after having to put up with the suffocation of frauen that makes up his fanbase. In other news, the frauen do not believe this news, saying that they will not believe it until it comes from Clay's own mouth. Remember what happened last time you said you wouldn't believe Clay was gay until he said it? Stupid, stupid frauen.
There's just too much good stuff. Here are most posts from around the internet of Clay Aiken's idiot fans reacting to Clay coming out of the closet.
"My dad was the first person to break the news to me when I came home from an errand this evening. As soon as the news reached my ears, the blood drained from my face and a literal rush of shock surged through my body. My face fell. For a few milliseconds I felt...nothing. Not long after that, I shut myself up in my room and wept silently, my heart breaking. This has all happened during a rough time in my life so that makes it all the more painful for me. I just...I don't know what to do. I'll probably never hear the end of it from my dad. Part of me still thinks this is all a dream, yet the whole of me knows it isn't. I will be withdrawing any financial support of him, as my beliefs do not condone his lifestyle. However, I will continue to pray for him and await further details on the situation."
"Clay has lied to me for five and a half years, telling me he is not gay, letting me think that lies were told about him in tabloids, etc.on and on. I loved Clay very much; but as hurt as I am right now, I do not like people who betray me, so I am gone, which will make some people happy, but I can no longer support a man I no longer admire. I think it is disgusting that Clay is having a "coming out" at the same time as announcing his son. Very poor timing -- just disgusting. Someday his son will see the cover of that magazine and find out how he was introduced to the world. Very sad. -- well, goodbye all.
We bring you some more Claymate fan reactions about his coming out from around the internet. The first place is even closing their message board thread every few minutes to edit people's posts. Hilarious! This stuff might be better than the Mail Bag. There's too much for the page, so click "read more" to see everything.
"I think many will realize tomorrow that he is saying he is Happy = Gay. Happy about his new son, Parker. Not that he likes men."
"WORD! It wasn't until I saw Clay in Spamalot that I became convinced that he had not been telling us the truth (I can't put my finger on what it was, exactly, but I just felt it in my gut for the first time during that performance); then when the story about the baby was reported I believed it was confirmation that he was, in fact, gay and I had allowed myself to be deceived all those years. Now I think that Clay wants to have his cake and eat it too: He wants us to continue to love him and to support him even though he is not the person we were led to believe he was, and he wants us to embrace the person he always was but is just now admitting to being and who I would never have supported if I had been told the truth in the first place! I know he wants me to feel sorry for him but I don't. I think he has known since puberty. I just wish he would have kept quiet about it instead of blabbing in a major publication. Now I have to endure the humiliation of being proven to be incredibly STUPID! I have donated all my Clay Aiken tee shirts, CDs, etc. to charity and some of the stuff ended up in the landfill, which is a good place for it. To Clay I say: Depart from me, I never knew you. "
Some highlights from the suffocation of Clay Aiken's frauen and their reaction to his coming out here. By the way, just as geese come in a gaggle, and crows come in a murder, a group of frauen is called a suffocation.
"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. I feel sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course its true. No other reason to have a kid in that way. I feel like crying."
"This is a gut wrenching day for The ClayNation. Somebody wake me up, I hope its a dream"
"please tell me I'm not the only one who is shocked beyond belief! I feel numb I'm so upset. This can't be real!! How can you guys say this won't change anything? This changes EVERYTHING. I don't even know what to think right now."
"Murah, I am so upset about this, I can't even think straight. My head hurts because as soon as I saw the cover, I burst out in tears and haven't been able to stop ever since. If this turns out to be true, I don't know if I can accept it because it would mean he lied to us all of these years. He told us the rumors were not true, he told us he was not gay and to now here it from the media and not him is just too much. The baby story was tough enough to handle, but I don't think I can deal with this. If he's happy, good for him, but I've always hated being lied to. What really bothers me is that if it turns out to be true, how can I not think twice about all the JP stuff. Once someone lies to me, it's really hard for me to ever trust them again. I've always been able to put up with a lot from people but don't lie to me. I do not tolerate liars. I won't know what to believe anymore. I have believed in Clay, I have defended him. I have taken so much crap over the years from co-workers as well as my own family. I don't know how I'm going to deal with this."
Just wait until tomorrow when the People cover is on People.com. We'll have some delicious fireworks. VFTW Victory!
Via Perez Hilton, this is the new cover of People with Clay Aiken finally admitting he's gay. It's about time. But we give him credit because we thought he'd just pretend forever. So, good on you Clay. This will be deliciously sweet to watch his fundie Claymates freak out now. We'll keep you posted with all of the entertaining highlights.
Clay Aiken's fans (the Claymates) are some of the saddest people on the planet. Because most of the Claymates are psychotic nutjobs, Clay's fansite Clay Street has set up some humorous restrictions when discussing his new baby on their site. So if you're looking to express your opinion, you might as well stick here and stay far away from that scary place. At that board, you may only congratulate Clay in a certain thread, you must be respectful of Clay at all times, religion must never enter the conversation, and sexual orientation is forbidden from discussion at the board. And even still, with all of the rules and reminders to "play nice", the old harpies are still bashing each other or going crazy within minutes of the news. Here are 3 hilarious quotes already:
"I am sad for many reasons with this news. First, it saddens me for what has happened to the traditional family. I miss the days of when you dated, got married and then started a family. I realize invitro has helped many couples to bring life into this world but with anything I believe it can be taken too far. I am a fan of Clay's because of his self professed faith and beliefs. I have always supported him and his choices, however, this choice I cannot support. There is no doubt that this child will be loved and cared deeply for, but I hold strong to the value of marriage and strong to the family unit. I can no longer support him which makes me sad. I wish him and Jaymes the best, but totally disagree and am very disappointed in Clay."
"...what many fans are wondering is, is Clay really the person he has always said he is? A normal man and a grandmother-aged woman, not romantically involved but choosing to clinicly have a child together because each wants one seems selfish....and odd....to many. I'm trying to word this in a way that gets my point across but won't get edited.... ok, if Clay is who he says he is, is he going to marry someone else someday and have children with his wife? People are always joyous over the birth of a baby, but that's not the only concern here for some fans."
"Is anyone getting anything done today? I'm sure not....I can't seem to focus on anything else. I feel like a new grandmother! I'm squeeing and EEEing over the news! It just gives us one more thing to be proud of as a Clay fan. I forgot to say congratulations to Raleigh and Durham [Clay's dogs] on their new brother. Don't be jealous - Clay has more than enough love to hold you all."
The Associated Press reports that Clay Aiken is now a daddy. It was reported months ago that Clay had impregnanted friend Jaymes Foster through artificial inseminAiken. The baby was born at 8:08 AM this morning (8/08... creeeepy) and is named Parker Foster Aiken. There's no word yet on Clay's role in supporting the baby. Rumors made up of lies suggest that Ruben Studdard was to be the godfather, but the Aiken clan was afraid the baby might be mistaken for a sandwich. (Picture via the Money Times).
We're not sure where these pictures came from, but Clay Aiken is looking mighty hideous these days. Seriously, dude. You have an attractive boyfriend. You're out of the closet and living a good life with a new son. Why are you dressing and looking like one of your 45 year old deluded female fans? What is going on here?
ETA: Update, here's where the pictures came from.
