American Idle

In what should have come as no surprise to anyone (unless you have been holed up in a cave for years…but I’ll bet even Bin Laden gets FOX) it was announced that Clay Aiken is gay. Duh, really?

What gave that away, the fact he’s big on Broadway, or the fact he doesn’t really have a girlfriend, just some girl who happened to have his baby via artificial insemination?

He finally “came out” in this week’s issue of People magazine and so now you can say what you will about Aiken, but at least he doesn’t have that big albatross looming over his shoulder.

Now, if you wanna talk about his music career, as opposed to his Broadway career, which should have given you the first big clue about his sexuality, then we can get somewhere in this whole thing.

But there are at least 20 million cougars who had their hearts broken, and who knows if they’ll continue throwing their Sears panties on stage during his performances?

It was basically the biggest American Idol story to hit the newsstands since Jessica Sierra went on a drug & alcohol binge/psychotic rampage about the same time last year. I should know; I covered the story for about two months and even Sierra’s sister had a few unkind words to say about me.

Whatever; I told the truth, just like I’m doing this time around. So, Claymates, if you wanna pick on me, go ahead, but remember that what goes around comes around.
