I dont care if Clay is gay or not. The bottom line is..... HE IS A VERY GOOD SINGER AND MAKES EVERYBODY esp. my age(in the 40's) happy. I do miss Clay a lot. If Clay will make a new CD? I'll buy it!!! Right away!!!

He's so totally gay. I wouldn't call it a rumor so much when the John Paulus guy has done upfront interviews everywhere now. Oh that and the fact that we've only heard "no comment" from Clay's people in response.

John Paulus was a real estate agent that got mad when Clay didn't buy a house from him in NC. Clay bought a beautiful 3.7 million dollar mansion in Raleigh from a different agency and Paulus is furious that he didn't earn the commission. What a sore loser. Nobody really believes this guy's story do they? He's a transparent liar.

i'm sick and tired of these rumors. clay is not gay. look at a gay person and then at clay. clay isn't like "ommegad girlfriend!" he is normal j/ metro. my lord!

I listened to this john p person on howard stern yesterday, interesting that even howard's team didn't give this guy much credit. and why haven't i read that any of these garbage news rags have even attempted to contact clays camp? nowhere have i read that the aiken camp refused to comment......fishy to me

For crying out loud, enough already. Clay has said in several interviews that he is definitely NOT gay. How much more proof do you need? The individuals bashing Clay and criticizing Clay are just jealous. I trust and believe in Clay forever.

Everyone that reads this!!! I have been a fan of Clays from day 1. Druing all of his interviews, or whatever, he denied his homosexuality. Please get over it, and if you can't, do someting better with your time. Clay was raised without a father, and yes I will admit he his feminine. But I think without a doubt that he is the kind of person we need in Hollywood to stand up for the people who aren't gay, and who dont sleep around with everyone they meet.

I live with the gay issue everyday of my life for the past 10 years, my stepson is gay as he can be, even dresses as a woman. Clay is NOT, I repeat NOT gay...you want to see gay you should see my stepson.

Clay is just a beautiful person inside and out, and every woman's dream of a man.....I have said it before and will say it again, I pray to God my 10 year old son grows up to be just like the person Clay is. BTW my son loves Clay as much as his mom does!!!!

Enough already!! If some of you are so interested in Clay, just go out and buy his CDs and DVDs, so then you can watch and listen to him 24/7. Some of you say that you are not Clay fans so why are you so interested in him then?

My Mother taught me to be friendly with people that I like and if I don't like them, just leave them alone. To the Clay-bashers, did your Mother not teach you this lesson.

J.P. is just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame because he can't get it any other way. Think about it, it's not rocket science!!!

BORING! BORING! BORING!....I AM ONE OF CLAYS NO. ONE FANS, I LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC AS MUCH AS I CAN, GAY? I DONT CARE WHAT HE IS, ITS HIS VOICE I LISTEN TO...SO GET OFF IT JOHN PAULUS, YOU HAVE HAD YOUR 15 MINUTES OF FAME, SO WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, CLAY REJECTED YOUR OFFER, RE BUILDING A HOME. EVEN HOWARD STERN WAS BORED WITH YOU, YOU MUST BE A REALLY BORING PERSON, GLAD I DON'T KNOW YOU.....YOUR SICK! SICK! SICK!.....AND I WOULD'NT BUY A HOUSE OFF YOU EITHER, YOU HAVE TRULY RUINED YOUR CAREER?

I am so sick of this nonsence! I to listened to HS today. Everyone seemed to be laughing at that JP idiot. He was nervous talking as well. He is a LIAR. Plain english. Enough said already Now go do what you really want to do JP and leave the rest of us alone to enjoy Clay's music.You've had your 15 min. of fame. Creep.

I just wanted to say...

I LOVE CLAY!

MacStansbury, I agree with you that this gossip is boring.

Funny thing is that Clay was doing a concert when this guys said they met up. Got his age wrong too.
I don't look to HS and the rag mags to get my news.
The National Networks wont give this story the time of day. Another person looking for their 15 min of fame during American Idol season.

Clay Aiken is very smart for not commenting to the slimeball's story. The mainstream media would be all over the story if he did and that would mean that slimeball would be getting what he was looking for - fame.
My radar is reading "straight" for Clay Aiken. He was so friggin sexy on Good Morning America when he sang Suspicious Minds.

What a nasty smear (sabotage) campaign jp, and 'whomever', is trying to run against Clay.
Clay doesn't need to comment on this trash. Let this guy hang himself, with his lies. We have moved on, and so should all others. Clay has our Continous Support,and Love.
The only emotions I feel, in regard to this creeps 'news', is a whole lot of pain for Clay and family, to have to hear trash like this.
Evil is pretty rampant in this world, but in this instance, Good, will prevail, over the evil. The persona that Clay exudes, is the real MAN that he IS.He has GOD, on his side, that will always win over evil.Some evildoers, need to realize the difference between protecting, and defending Clay, and 'Using Our Voice' in support of him.

Unfortunately, when you become a celebrity, you have a target on your back from all the tabloids. It is the down-side of fame. There are always people trying to make a buck off your name.
Clay has stated in interviews that he is straight. Until he says otherwise, I choose to believe him. It does not matter to me whether he is straight or gay--I will continue to support him. He is smart, cute, funny, sexy as hell, a master showman in concert, and has the most awesome voice on the planet. I cannot wait for his new CD!

After listening to that tabloid guy on Howard Stern, I have to say - the guy is sort of looney. In a scary way.

He could not even keep his story straight *LOL*. It has more holes than swiss cheese.

Even Howard was openly skeptical. Seems like the guy scored a gay porn movie deal out of this tabloid story - and he is proud of it. Wonder why he went to the NE?? *sheesh*

You would have to be an idiot to believe this story in any part.

One thing most everyone agrees on is that Clay is SMART (college grad, lobbyist, UNICEF spokesperson, etc). I doubt he'd risk his health and career and call a stranger from such a, and try to sneak into a public place for a night of thrills. Didn't know about Paulus' real estate hopes. My sympathy to Clay and his family to even have to hear this trash. And much thanks to Clay for his joy in music and the joy I've received hearing him sing!

Sad that people get away with this kind of stuff. Sould be a law againt this. Clay Aiken is smart not to comment on this story cause it is definately not worth anyones time of day.Paulus wants attention and it almost turns my stomach that there are people like him in this world. Paulus get some help...never to late.

Paulus has the DNA evidence.

Proof wins.

This article is too rediculous to be believed. It ranks up there with the "TWO-HEADED MARTIN" having Brad Pitt's love child!!!
Here are the errors:
1. Clay was NOT even in the area at the time this tryst took place .
2. This scuzzbucket got Clay's age wrong. He is 27 not 26 as was quoted.
3. DNA evidance does not hold up in a court of law and the outcome can be manipulated by emotions ! This has happened in the past and I would not put it past this dude !
4. JP said there was 'unprotected sex'...WELL WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH HIM PROVIDING PROTECTION? It makes it sound like the slimeball had no choice in the matter .....(ya right , Clay @ 150 lbs. being a big bully !! lol)
5. The location is laughable. Clay has 5 star hotels at his disposal why would he stoop to this slimy dude's character and go to a Quality Inn?
6. This guy opens his mouth long enough to change feet ...case in point : quote:**** They couldn't pay me enough to have my pics on the supermarket stand," he told the Daily News. "I am not the type of guy that would make life difficult for anyone." ..." end quote"*** THEN WHY DO IT , YOU IDIOT??? He also states:
***"I would estimate that I have lost $30,000 in commissions."**** ...to that I respond .GOOD ON YA BUDDY , try selling ladders , you might need one to reach the curb !!!
7. Clay picks and choses his battles . This one is not worth him even commenting on , it is so stupid. Give the slimeball enough rope and he will hang himself!! TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS and Clay Aiken is a walking talking example of God's truth in action! **** The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -Martin Luther King
Jr.******

Clay is paying his dues and as weathered other accusations which have been proven wrong .
He has NOTHING to hide , he is who he is , ...a wonderfully talented and caring individual and if people would stop judging by what is on the outside (which ain't half bad .....go to some of his concerts and the proof is in the puding!!)
and look at Clay's heart that just keeps giving unnconditonally! You will be blown away !

anyone can say they have DNA proof, who is going to pay the big bucks to have it tested....the word we are all looking for is called defamation (false statements about a person that injure the reputation,an abusive attack on a person's character or good name).This creep is out for a fast buck....

jojo...you go girl...we Claymates can whoop this creeps ass!!!

I am Natalie and I am a big fan of Clay Aiken! I am 23 years old and working with special needs because I new a man by the name of Clay Aiken that was a nice and caring person that I new after watching American Idol. If Clay is gay that's fine with me! We all are different. It's though the roamer are going on to long. I wish it could all stop. Thanks!

I am on the Official Fan Club for Clay and my screen name is Clayafan! So if you want to write to me you can on my profile you can! Thanks!

After reading the HS article about the interview, we know damn well jp is lying. He said he didn't want to talk about Clays' 'size', because he didn't want to dissapoint anyone.
Is he insane?? There are PLENTY of pics of Clay in concert that shows very well, that Clay wouldn't dissapoint AT ALL.
You got it wrong jp, you jerk. You guessed wrong,Oh Mr."I just signed my porn contract, I'm gonna be a BIG STAR", Paulus.I hope you find it hard to sleep at night, knowing what you are trying to do to someone who has nothing bad to say about anyone. Clay is so high above scum like you, and your 'entourage' of sabatogers.

This whole smear campaign is a total farce. The famewhore Paulus has changed his story so many times, it's becoming laughable.

I also love the part about how JP is so rich. Is that why he's filed bankruptcy twice in the last several years? (It's public record.) Nothing like fabricating a whole story (with the help of Billy Masters and Perez Hilton) to collect those juicy bucks from the tabloids, is there?

Some people will do anything for money even if it is a lie. He should get a real job and work for his money.

It surprises me that a 5'6" gay man who admittedly can't get an erection thinks he has a career in the gay porno movie business. Are limp noodles popular in those films? Personally, I don't see the interest there, but what do I know?

I didn't know he was bankrupt two times. Is that why he was kicked out of his apartment that he wasn't actually living in since he was living in one of daddy's houses?

DNA - No doubt he probably has plenty of DNA from all the Toms, Dicks, and Harrys he's probably seen at that motel. I really doubt there was a Clay among them.

The guy is a walking, talking idiot.

If the Enquirer says this is a true story, why doesn't the Enquirer have this rag tested? This guy is probably a pathological liar and can say anything and pass a lie detector. That's what I want to see, real proof. Anybody can say what Paulos is saying. He sounds like a loser to me. I believe Clay until it's proven otherwise.

Hang in there, Clay.

And when is there going to be a new CD out? That's what I really want to know.

How the hell do you stinky fish know so much about Clay? He wouldn't fry your asses if he had a tub of Crisco! He stays in five star hotels? How many of them are in NC? George Michael stays in 5 star hotels, so do ELton John and Berry Manilow. Rock Hudson and Liberace stayed in them too.

Clay is a flaming hypocrite, and his record label is about to crank out a cheap piece of crap CD filled with covers. To all you Clay nuts, make your reservations for his new destination. Branson. He'll be there the rest of his life with his "Invisible" girlfriend.

HoHo,

You're a big laugh. How do we know about Clay? We've followed his career for going on three year. What the H do you know about him? A big fat zero, just like yourself. Why don't you do yourself a favor and hook up with Mr. Paulus? Birds of a feather and all that...

HoHo, this is jojo:

Ya know , IF IGNORANCE IS BLISS, YOU MUST BE ORGASMIC!!! It is really hard to believe that you beat out 1,000,000 other sperm!!

Clay has stated (as I have mentioned many times ) he is NOT GAY! You could again give the trite answer that ya many people say that but they are hiding in the closet and yes that could be true for some but in Clay Aiken's case , he is TRUTH in action! He has nothing to hide . He walks the talk of his faith .
In all other facits of his life he lives a life of truth and honesty not just for himself but for others as well.
People are shallow and judgemental when they are blieving all this stupid gossip of what Clay Aiken is "PERCEIVED" as being! He has said he is NOT and that is good enough for me !

As for his CD being full of covers..(ya know dude some folks drink at the fountain of knowledge , you must have just gargled huh? ) Lots of people have recorded covers ......KILLING ME SOFTLY, by the FUJI's was previously done by Roberta Flack or THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKIN , just won
a People's Choice award ! There will not just be covers , but lots of other stuff on there too !

It is time we got back to the voice , instead of just a bunch of crude lewed lyrics with no depth or meaning ! Clay has the pipes of perfection and will be around for eons to come !!

My advice to you HoHo is to save your breath, you will need it to blow up your date !!

jojo

I'm no huge Clay Aiken fan, but a CD of covers? Now, that intrigues me. I'd love to hear that voice on an album of covers.

This John Paulus guy is just creepy. Let's see if I've got his resume' right -

exGreen Beret (discharged under suspicious circumstances), exgay bar dancer, exreal estate agent, has naked pictures plastered all over the internet, wannabe gay porno star.

Did I miss anything?

(Can he get one of those pumps or get an extension for that erection problem he has? Wouldn't that be pretty noticable in a gay porno movie?)

He gives the gay community and idiots everywhere a bad name.

I just want to comment on a girl who wrote on this page. A gay guy dosent have to be the "ommegad girlfriend" type to be gay. He could look as straight as a man could look and also be gay. So it IS vey possible that Clay Aiken isint straight!

But, a guy can appear gay - not a macho man - and be totally straight.

I think there are more Clay Aiken type guys in this world than football or baseball player types. That doesn't make them gay. They are just nice guys who are better at other things.

And nothing says that football or baseball players (or muscle builders) can't be gay just because they are athletes.

That street goes both ways.

Dang it! I wish there was an edit button here.

The stereotyping of people in this country continues on much longer than it should.

Whether or not Clay Aiken is straight or gay is really nobody's business but Clay Aiken's. He knows the truth. He doesn't have to prove anything to anybody.

But from what I know of him, he appears to be a person who values his career, his charity work, and his reputation. For him to risk all that for a one night stand with someone like John Paulus in a cheap motel, goes beyond the ridiculous. People sometimes do stupid things for no apparant reasons, but I don't think Clay Aiken is that stupid or desperate.

Now, I will leave you fine people.

You fish have spent three years following Clay Aiken? Good for you. He's spending your money on hook ups with MEN, and laughing all the way to the bank. He's discusted by everything about you excpet your M-O-N-E-Y. I can't blame him for making a money grab, a fool and her money and all. He's just helping you part with it. I hope you buy a million CDs the first week his new one is released. More money for us, fish!

HoHo:

I imagine you took an IQ test and the results were negative??
I am afraid to ask you to have an open mind for fear your brains would fall out !!!
I hope Clay is smiling all the way to the bank , he deserves it , a lot more that someone like Kanye West who would have himself cloned and make love to himself he is so conceited!!!
He has told his fans over and over again that he loves us and he shows us that in each and every performance he gives !

Just give it up ok, lord , you would be out of your depth in a parking lot puddle !!

jojo

Oh, my, a Claymate attack! I smell hot tuna! A man you've seen on a concert stage loves you? The Easter Bunny and Santa loves you too. Go drown in that parking lot puddle, fish! But first, if you're cloning Kanye, send me a copy.

The facts:
a. Clay Aiken is in fact gay.
b. Clay Aiken makes TERRIBLE music.
c. Clay Aiken has lied, or hidden the fact that he's gay to keep religous families buying his music.

Ethically:
It's ok to be gay.
It's ok to be openly gay.
It's ok to be feminine.
It's ok to make bad music as long as people are buying it.
It's NOT ok to lie to your audience to provent them from buying your albums.

It's time for some of you to wake up and quit denying what's obvious.

Jojo:
Please, please, please get off your ass and quit basing your life off of American Idol. In the real music industry, music is sold by TALENT. Kanye actually has a lot of talent and Kanye has the right to be as arrogant and conceited as he wants. Clay Aiken should have never made it past the regional auditions for American Idol. Who knows who's dick he sucked to get to where he is today? Maybe he'll fess up for a little cash!

Please people. NONE of you know Clay Aiken. NONE of you know if he's straight or Gay so STOP saying you do. There is a possibility that these accusations are true just as there is a possibility they are false.
You know the person you see on Tv and in concert..you don't know Clay Aiken

Ladies,
I think we should all just stop replying to these butt heads here. They are Just trying to make us mad, and they aren't going to give up....

No matter what anyone says, no one will ever make me dislike Clay aiken....nuff said.

"i'm sick and tired of these rumors. clay is not gay. look at a gay person and then at clay. clay isn't like "ommegad girlfriend!" he is normal j/ metro. my lord!"

This is possibly the most ignorant statement I've ever heard. Not all gay men are effeminate, you bigot.
