Clay Aiken’s second album may be in trouble, with RCA putting it “on hold” until the sex allegations of former Green Beret John Paulus blow over. And there are rumors that Aiken’s rabid fans could file a class-action lawsuit against the singer. “He represented himself as a heterosexual choirboy,” a source said. “They might want their money back.” A rep for Aiken said, “The album will come out some time in May.”
RCA can wait as long as they want, allegations about Clay Aiken aren’t going away any time soon. The only way he could make it any clearer is if he called his new album Homo Ballads and the album cover showed him playing a xylophone made entirely of penises.

He should have called himself “Gay Achin’” to avoid any confusion. By the way, who was confused?
SuperSpence | February 13, 2006 at 10:10 am
I’m a lawyer, but you don’t need to go to law school to know that class action lawsuit is a joke. Any judge not on crack will chuck that out of his or her court in about ten seconds. That means over 70% of judges in America would toss that out of his or her court in about ten seconds.
cinder | February 13, 2006 at 10:18 am
heterosexual choirboy, isnt that an oxymoron?
uncommonamerican | February 13, 2006 at 10:26 am
Wow, you can sue someone for misrepresenting their sexuality? Dude, I am totally gonna sue Michael Jackson for not singing about finger-banging 10-year-old anuses. Had I known he was “that way” I’d have bought WAY more of his albums! I got fleeced!
Bimbels | February 13, 2006 at 10:42 am
Any “rabid fan” who didn’t know this dude was gay was hiding in their own closet. C’MON!
Realistic | February 13, 2006 at 10:45 am
It’s cool that Clay, and the album will “come out” at the same time.

Who cares thathe is gay..Didn’t everyone already get that from his first American Idol audition?? Like Duh.
PapaHotNuts | February 13, 2006 at 10:56 am
He flaunts his gayness every time he opens his cock-holster- Oops, I meant mouth.
I will file a class action lawsuit if I find out he is straight.
nichole | February 13, 2006 at 11:04 am
Uggh. I hate this kid.
nichole | February 13, 2006 at 11:06 am
I don’t hate him b/c he’s gay, btw, only b/c he’s adamently denying it when it’s soooo obvious. That and he’s sooo annoying.
BTW, how come American Idol has only worked for Kelly Clarkson? The other ones have fallen into oblivion. Well, except for Carrie Underwood, but she’s new. In a year, will she disapear, too? Probably.
fame is funny | February 13, 2006 at 11:16 am
Once he opened his mouth the very FIRST time he was EVER on the show, was ANYONE confused about the sexuality of this mildly talented, even less attractive, hack? His album title is MEASURE OF A MAN for god’s aake. Paging Dr. Freud…
Here are the lyrics from his ‘hit’ song:
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I’d make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)
This is obviously a song about rejection in a gay disco. Clay is about 2 years away from pulling a George Michael and getting caught in a public restroom, playing the meat whistle.
fame is funny | February 13, 2006 at 11:18 am
for god’s ‘sake’ that is…ache is most likely correct as well.
A2Bcom | February 13, 2006 at 11:18 am
This guy has always been so obviously gay, so what’s all the hubbub? Besides, not buying is album because he’s gay is stupid. Not buying his album because his voice and music sucks to wholy hell is smart. ;)
PKClover | February 13, 2006 at 11:20 am
What you can’t see in this picture is that Clay is on all 4′s gripping a pillow with his pants down.
fame is funny | February 13, 2006 at 11:33 am
Yeah, the picture needs to be rotated to the left to make any sense.
playahater101 | February 13, 2006 at 11:36 am
I didn’t know there was anyone who actually thought he WASN”T gay. I mean, come on. It’s pretty obvious. I guess to those loyal 13 and 14 year old fans, it wasn’t quite as obvious. I love how everyone is so sue-happy these days. Can you actually sue someone for not telling the world that they are gay?
Lavis | February 13, 2006 at 11:39 am
Wait a minute! He’s gay? I am still shocked about George Michael and Elton John and Boy George and Rob Halford and and should I go on? Get over it Clay. You’re gay! So are a million other people.
pookiedoo | February 13, 2006 at 11:57 am
Thanks PKClover. That one made me piss myself. As for Clay, big deal, he’s gay. The story I’m waiting for is when it is revealed that his father is actually a leprechaun.
Spindoc | February 13, 2006 at 12:21 pm
The type of people who didn’t know Clay Aiken is gay are the same people that think Richard Simmons and Liberace just haven’t met that right girl yet. All I can say is I’m glad that this happened, because those 13 year old girls need to know that if a guy acts like Clay, he isn’t sensitive, he isn’t innocent and he doesn’t care about you so much he’s willing to wait until marraige…he’s gay. Girls, watch Clay, learn how he acts, then you can avoid marrying some closet case and having him leave you in 5 years for the pool boy. Oh, and Clay, if this kills your career I hear that Tom Cruise is looking for a “personal assistant” if ya know what I mean.
Allie D. | February 13, 2006 at 12:24 pm
Um, it took Kelly Clarkson over 2 years after winning AI to finally break out on her own. Fantasia was just nominated for a Grammy. Clay has son a TON of albums. Ruben- I’m not sure what all he’s been up to, truthfully. Probably 600 lbs by now.
Anyway this shit is ridiculous with Clay. Why would anyone sue someone because they’re GAY? My God man… this is the entertainment industry where the gayness ratio is something like 3 to 1.
Allie D. | February 13, 2006 at 12:25 pm
That should read that Clay has “sold” a ton of albums.
my_glorious_lawn | February 13, 2006 at 12:59 pm
I remember my sister and mother playing his cd and thinking, oh god please no more misery. It was pure torcher, and I recommend playing it to people that you hate. Who cares if he is gay or straight, his music sucks as it is.
dimestoredetective | February 13, 2006 at 1:23 pm
We’re always gonna have closeted balladeers: Liberace, Barry Mantilow, Clay Akin. Their shelf life is just much shorter now. I mean who really gives a rat’s ass whether Clay is Gay? Good for Clay. Save the day for gays. who pay. who stay out of my way. during the week days.
tis GLAM | February 13, 2006 at 1:49 pm
Ewww….i never liked that kid. Too pale. Looks dead.
OMG, LOOK! It’s Callista Flockhart’s long-lost twin! or nephew?…or son? –Can that thing even bare children?
Tink | February 13, 2006 at 2:20 pm
wait this guy isn’t out of the closet and he has fans?
I guess I’m way behind or way ahead
HollyJ | February 13, 2006 at 2:47 pm

“…Homo Ballads and the album cover showed him playing a xylophone made entirely of penises.” LOL!!
this site takes me to my little happy place

#11 :
” BTW, how come American Idol has only worked for Kelly Clarkson? The other ones have fallen into oblivion…”
Well, have you ever head of the word “overexposed”? that’s exactly why.
It worked for Kelly Clarkson because she’s smart enough to no longer sing her finale song “A moment like this, some people wait a life time …”.
sqongo | February 13, 2006 at 3:08 pm
Hahahaha!!Xylophone made out of penises,or is it penii?lol
HollyJ | February 13, 2006 at 3:12 pm
Penises or (oddly enough) Penes.
Penii, sadly, is not a word.
Magus | February 13, 2006 at 3:25 pm
is it ok if i have no idea who this guy is ?
Bogart | February 13, 2006 at 3:27 pm
I just love that much of his hard core fans are bible thumpers, when it was obvious from the very beginning that he was gay and lying about it. This story was as shocking as Rosie O’Donnell coming out. And by shocking I mean painfully obvious unless your a bible thumping idiot who believes everything they’re told as long as it’s coming from someone who claims to be “Christian”.
Legal Diva | February 13, 2006 at 4:13 pm
LMAO…Brokeback Ballads :)
Tracy | February 13, 2006 at 5:30 pm
I heard that Barry Manilow and Elton John might also be gay. But don’t quote me.
Jonboy in SF | February 13, 2006 at 5:40 pm
#20 Spindoc hit the nail on the head…reminds me of that SNL skit “I took a gay man to prom.” Actually my ex-girlfriend took a gay man to prom…and I took a lesbian to prom. Figure that one out!
Kyrie | February 13, 2006 at 5:52 pm
Anyone who thinks Clay Aiken is straight also thinks George Bush is a genius. How pathetically in denial is THAT?
However, suing someone because they represented themselves as a heterosexual and turned out to be gay is the stupidest thing in the world–and makes it obvious that to them, music is about the way the person looks or their sexual orientation, which ultimately makes them poseurs.
Spindoc | February 13, 2006 at 5:52 pm
#35, Now THAT sounds like one hell of a prom story.
One other thing, I totally forgot to mention…..somebody is going to sue Clay for having a phoney Public Persona?! If that case goes through every single Hollywood star would be sued, can you imagine? Plaintiff: I’m suing because Jennifer Lopez acts very sweet in her movies, I want money because in real life she is a scary bitch, oh, and I’m also Suing Lindsay Lohan because her website mentions NOTHING about her being a skanky coke-whore. LOL!!!!!
ESQ | February 13, 2006 at 6:22 pm
In response to #1 that was the best comment: “Who was confused?”
In response to #15 & #16: Who here is good with Photoshop?
As for Clay Aiken, he reminds me of Peter Pan and his gaggle of lost boys. Get a grip Clay your gay and guess what it is OK! “Your here, don’t fear your queer!”
eastboundanddown | February 13, 2006 at 6:48 pm
I’ve heard that Tom Cruise and John Travolta have a special “gay island” where they stock it with well hung young boys. And Travolta pilots his 747 there. And occassionally Clay shows up to sing and provide the entertainment. I’m not sure if this has been proven true but it’s just something I heard.
sara1beth2 | February 13, 2006 at 6:48 pm
The “claymates” are considering suing him? My god, having a bunch of old fat housewives screaming “I love you Clay” probably drove him to Paulus’ ass.
Celetina | February 13, 2006 at 6:51 pm
Unless Clay Aiken specifically said “I’m Clay Aiken and I’m swearing on the Bible right now that I’m a straight arrow”, I’m pretty sure that’s not actually a viable lawsuit. It’s been said before (and by wittier folk than I) that EVERYBODY knows he hangs around the cock tree in the gay garden. Sheez.
Jayne | February 13, 2006 at 6:52 pm
I hope those fans have what Helen Keller had.
Because honestly…you can’t expect him to be a :a heterosexual choirboy:
dugjay | February 13, 2006 at 9:22 pm
tell me i’m not the only one that thought he was gay from the git-go?
seriously..didn’t anyone see the flames shooting outta his butt?
a concerned fan | February 13, 2006 at 9:49 pm
Calm down! He’s not gay. He’s just anal-y inclined. Like Christina Aguilera.
amyjane7 | February 13, 2006 at 10:03 pm
A) Anybody who bought the album thinking he is straight deserves to get ripped off.
B) Anybody who thinks its a big deal that Clay is gay should stop watching tv…..and listening to radio….and leaving the house.
bakismaki | February 13, 2006 at 11:57 pm
Clay Aiken is gay, no way. That’s like saying Rosie O’Donnell is a lesbian or Nicole Richie has an eating disorder, I mean really where do you get these things.
HollyJ | February 13, 2006 at 11:57 pm
#36, “Anyone who thinks Clay Aiken is straight also thinks George Bush is a genius. How pathetically in denial is THAT?”
Kyrie – TRUE! lol excellent pt
eyespy27 | February 14, 2006 at 4:19 am
i’d hit it.
AmberDextrose | February 14, 2006 at 4:33 am
I’d hit it harder. With a spade. Until it stopped whimpering.
Grope For Luna | February 14, 2006 at 7:49 am
John Paulus is a porn star trying to promote his website and porn career. The story is bunk, although Clay is probably still gay.
