Apparently America wants to know. Apparently that has been the topic of discussion in many a household. Apparently we have to know are we won’t get any sleep!

I wonder why that bit of information is so important. Apparently, so does Clay Aiken. If you noticed it was like he dropped off the face of the planet (to coin a phrase) and we haven’t seen him make as many appearances as he did after American Idol.

He’s been dealing with a lot of things in his private life, so he told Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America. He’s been trying to deal with his depression and the tabloid stories and other things. He’s not too keen on that side of fame where he’s become fodder for the tabloids and they are questioning his sexuality. He wonders why that has to be of such interest to everyone.

Well, I guess some people would say that he’s a celebrity now so he has to deal with it or just jump ship. That would be thoughtless to say though; the guy is learning how to handle the scrutiny and trying to get a handle on his life. And in the mean time he wants to still have his adoring fans.

He didn’t answer the question when Diane asked. In fact, he went around every corner there was in order not to answer the question.

I think he should just come out and say it though. Why not? That would get people off his back right? Or that will make him lose legions of fans and I think that’s the crux of his problem.

To me, he seems exceedingly homosexual...but, as I always say...I don't care. I never watched American Idol...and I really don't want to. The only way I know of Clay Aiken is primarily through the skits on MADTV and I'm alright with that. Be he gay, or just really metrosexual, I'll never buy one of his albums.

Unfortunately, this is the reason why he's getting bombarded by this problem! If he's metrosexual, hey he might as well just say that! Nothing wrong with that at all! Of course, if he's a homosexual, hey, I don't think he will be chastised or anything like that. He would possibly lose some fans, but hey, that's life. At least he would be more comfortable being himself.

Why is it so important that we know his sexual preferences? I'm not a big fan, but I certainly feel sorry for the kid to have to deal with this kind of shit. There's a lot of other celebrities who don't want to answer the question either, not because they don't want to reveal if they are or aren't, but because why should they?

Nice article.

Nice article, Donna.

I'm in the same boat with Nicky and Zoo - I don't give a damn one way or another about Clay Aiken regardless of his homosexuality. But I do kinda feel bad for him. But on the other hand, no I don't - that's the price of being famous and making booko bucks. But whatever.

(That seems to by my reply a lot these days . . .)

I dont know if he is or not, but the local talking head said he did admit it.  Frankly, I dont care.  If his songs are good, I will listen.  If not, I wont.  I dont care what he does with his private life.

Exactly Nicky! Why should they?!


Nice article.



Thank you!

Thanks Braeden!

I know, me too.

Yeah, but still why should he have to go through that as we said. However, I guess he's gonna have to learn to deal just like all the others have!


I dont know if he is or not, but the local talking head said he did admit it.


If it's on the Good Morning America program, he didn't. If it's from the tabloids, he didn't either, that's why they were interviewing him for him to put the rumors to rest.


If his songs are good, I will listen. If not, I wont. I dont care what he does with his private life.


me too, and me too!

I have no idea who the guy is but I assume he's a singer. What does who he screws have to do with his singing and why does anyone care?

People can be so stupid.

I think he said it was in People Magazine, but I did not listen too closely, as I said.  Machts Nichts zu mir.

In the words of Conan O'Brien, Damn Now we're never going to know. I guess it will remain one of life's great mysteries.

Personally I don't think he's gay, but I do think his boyfriend is.

You may be thinking of Lance Bass.

(Gene Nash quip of that week: "Well, now we all know how to catch a Bass. Just wiggle your worm at him.")

To me, by not answering it, he did answer it.

Can you imagine a straight guy not taking every opportunity to completely and loudly denounce that rumour? (Assuming said straight guy didn't have a thriving career in the fashion industry, of course.)


If we need any more of a clincher, I hear he's begging Lisa Marie Presley to make out with him at the next MTV Video Awards.

He's a singer yes. He was on American Idol and became famous but he's a good singer that's why. Exactly!

! funny!

Oh. Well, he didn't say anything to Diane as I said.

Hmm, German right? Recognized... me, nothing....ok, translation?

! His boyfriend would definately have a lot to say!

That definately made it look that way, that he is gay. I guess when he's ready he will come out.

Nooooo, I didn't hear that! That's probably just someone spreading rumors about the poor guy again. I can't blame him for feeling how he does! Lisa Marie Pressley is too old for him anyway!
