Clay Aiken

Adam Lambert is gay.

Shocker. Haven’t we heard this before?

The American Idol Season 8 runner-up sets the record straight (pun intended) in the next issue of Rolling Stone."I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear I'm gay." He explains: "I've been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man. I've been at clubs drunk making out with somebody in the corner."

American Idol runner up Adam Lambert was spotted holding hands with a male friend at Guys and Dolls in West Hollywood on Monday night.

No doubt this will certainly crush all of those pesky rumors about his sexuality. Yea, right!

Lambert has never ‘officially’ come out, but actions speak louder than words.

Maybe he is following in his recent antagonist, Clay Aiken’s footsteps.

The American Idol in-fighting continues.

Adam Lambert talked to Access Hollywood yesterday about Clay Aiken's comments about his singing and his subsequent apology, and his response to the situation was awesomely passive agressive.

A former American Idol runner-up is apologizing to the current runner-up...sort of.

Clay Aiken, who wrote on his fan site earlier this week that he thought Adam Lambert's voice made his ears bleed and that overall Lambert was "contrived, awful, and slightly frightening," has issued a psuedo-apology to Season 8's almost-Idol.

America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks and former American Idol contestant Clay Aiken were snapped together on the red carpet of the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City last night.

That's not a random pairing at all. We love how uncomfortable they look.

We bet Tyra's already thinking of a way to spin this into a story about how she overcame the challenges of making it in the modeling industy.

Let the rumors begin.

They split back in November but last night, exes Terri Seymour and Simon Cowell posed for photos together at Beso where they were both attending a fundraiser.

And didn’t they look cozy?

Simon looks like he’d rather be sandwiched between a naked Randy Jackson and Clay Aiken then next to Terri.

Hey everyone, are you ready for the least surprising announcement of the year?

Clay Aiken has come out as a gay man.

Although it’s completely not shocking, it is a brave choice that we applaud him for finally making. While our condolences go out to all the female Claymates whose dreams have been shattered, we wish Clay all the happiness in the world. 

Remember how Clay Aiken was reenacting that terrible Rupert Everett-Madonna movie, The Next Best Thing, by “impregnating” his best, total platonic female friend? (Hello, turkey baster.) 

The baby has arrived! Clay blogged about the new arrival on his website.

Does anyone remember Justin Guarini?

He came in second to Kelly Clarkson on American Idol’s first season. But unlike Clay Aiken (who was the silver medalist to Ruben Studdard’s gold), Guarini went from toast of the town to punchline.

Case in point: Justin Guarini performs a free show at Universal Citywalk in Los Angeles yesterday. For those unfamiliar, Citywalk is a big outdoor mall. Justin Guarini has sunk to Tiffany’s level.

No words necessary, the look on his face says it all.

American Idol's season 2 winner (though Clay Aiken has been exponentially more successful) Ruben Studdard married Surata Zuri McCants at Canterbury United Methodist Church in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala., Saturday.

Studdard, 29, and McCants, 30, "looked really happy," an eyewitness said.
