  • See how he fell of the face of the earth now that he came out?

  • gayer haircut?

  • I don't give a crap of he's gay,straight,or even purple.I did, however like him better when he was that dorky guy with a great voice as opposed to the image he presents now. Regardless, he's done some truly great things (The Inclusion Project) and his orientation has nothing to do with any of those things. As long as Parker has a mother figure, I don't see how he'll be any different than a child who lost a parent to divorce or death.

  • "now that hes gay" .....i wasnt aware straight people TURNED gay....theyre always gay >.>

  • Better still whats up with Diane and this special interest group. For all the positive she thinks (or her staff and station) that they do. They create a lot false positive impressions on regular kids. The guy in Ft. Worth is a perfect example of a neg on the military being open to this special interest group.

  • This lady and this diane sawyer lady are both bitchy and unprofessional. They are the ones who are indifferent. They hit out at Clay because they themselves have attitude problem and they are hateful and unhappy inside them and they need to purge their own instability and rinse their filthy mouths. Clay, the next time this people talk like that, just treat them indifferent and you are normal they are abnormal and sing them your song "what the world needs is love..sweet unconditional love..

  • Just keep quite and mind you own business. The world will be a peaceful place.

  • No. Clay initially turned his back on the gay community, even refusing to answer simple questions from gay media organizations. He could have championed the cause by being out from the beginning of his career, thereby creating fans from this target market. Instead, he chose to alienate himself and go with the "little girl market" (Claymates, if you will. Which, by the way, have mostly grown up and dropped Clay from their playlists). Too little, too late Clay.

  • Gay people have been around forever and they will continue to be around forever. Get over it!!

  • I think Clay's voice is out of this world beautiful and so is his beautiful son. But No one should be proud to be Gay. The Bible says that a man should Not make love to another man like he does to female. We shouldn't be listening to the world and what they have to say but to the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus paid the price for us and he says. If you love me you will do as I say. How many people are listening to the Lord and Not the world. Clay turn to God for your sake and your childs.

  • @crycry151

    quit your religous shit you bigot, no one cares about your imagnery man

  • he is soooo funny! I love Cenk

  • Why do we always have to stress over if someone is gay or not. I am going to get all emotional because someone is straight now. It really is just silly.

  • Mary and Nadia and Douglas are unisex names, I don't see why James can't be.

  • none of those are unisex.

    and nor is james.

  • Mary *is* a unisex name- just very uncommon these days, if anything (in modern day) a boy's name would be 'Jean-marie'. Nadia I found out was a unisex name after looking at a list of muslim names (just interested) and it was listed as both a male and female name. Douglas on the other hand was the name of a *FEMALE* character in a book I once read.

  • @horrorvictim

    Good point

    "Courtney", "Joseph", "Mary", "Herman", et cetera, have not been unisex for ages but once were [save for some cases in "Courtney"'s case--i.e. Courtney B.Vance.]

  • Gay, straight....who the hell cares? I love his voice and his concerts are awesome. He tried to keep his private life private but the media is relentless. I'm glad he came out now but I hate that he had to put up with the demented media for so long. That baby is lucky to have 2 loving, caring parents. Much more than some "normal" families have. Good on ya Clay.

  • adam lambert owned u :))

  • i dont know him and idc if hes gay or watever at least he didnt lie and told the public the truth

  • During the whole Diane Sawyer clip, I admit I was perplexed as to who James was.

    Maybe it's a nickname..? I do agree w/ Cenk than James..is the most masculine sounding name on a female I've ever heard.

    All in all, I am happy for him he has a kid.

  • lol, i'm so over the whole "gay celebrity" thing being a controversy. but i suppose it's better than negative publicity, it's just kind of boring now.

  • He was always gay...

  • yeah i mean everyone new he was gay so i like him the same hes still cute and a very good singer

  • I don't care that Clay is gay, I love his singing.... He is AWESOME, love u clay..... hugs, Sande~

  • brooke back mountain....clay alken

    2009///

    haha....this is feeling....human nature...please understand....all of you

  • sup with the hyarr??? Gaawd. I am always so impressed with his diction. He is just so bright.

  • Sounds like he's going to be a great dad!! People shouldn't care if he's gay or not because I sure don't.

  • lol he does have a gay haircut

  • Hey ANA more Cleavage next time please:D!

  • He's an asshole! High matenence piece of shit. I'm Clay Aiken, I'm a KING!

    He never fooled anyone. We all knew he was gay from the start....puleeze, in this day and age, who gives a shit.

  • Yep, I'm still a fan, though not as hard core, but that's because he's not doing much right now. But I sure do love his voice. I want to see him in concert again. Clay when are you touring again?

  • HAHAHAHA nice gay hair cut omygawd... Cenk is so funny.

  • is he still singing?

  • So what that he's gay. I still like him for who he is, gay or not. He makes me smile evertime I hear his music or see his performance. Great voice! Great personality! Gotta love Clay Aiken.

  • is that clay from breathe carolina

  • BUT what does it matter

  • I will always love Clay Aiken. His voice is simply amazing. I like Cenk think Clay and Jaymes will be wonderful parents. Cenk calm down on the name. It's just a name.

    Cenk I love you. I love Clay Aiken and will always be a fan of his amazing voice.

    Clay's voice, keeps me coming BACK FOR MORE!!!

  • I have always loved Clay. He's a wonderful guy with a fantastic voice. BTW, Parker's mom's name is spelled Jaymes. Somewhat more feminine with that spelling. :-)

  • TYT did critize the black people that voted against prop 8. I saw the video where Cenk said that black people who voted against it where wrong to do so. So it looks like your wrong so you can take your little conspiracy theory get lost.

  • Wow he mentioned it in passing in one little video? wow thats some serious criticism right there. I can feel the huge feud between TYD and the negroid population building already, I'm gonna go stock up on food and hide in my bunker while the carnage takes place

  • dude.. how do you sleep at night?

  • I love and respect him more for doing the right thing for Parker. It took alot of courage. It makes no difference to me if he is gay. He impacted my life so much that something as simple as this does not overshadow that. This guy in the video is an ignorent jerk.

    As for the name Jaymes, it's JaYmes. She was supposed to be a boy, but her parents kept the name. And goodnes sake it's the 21st century!

  • Please no one take this thr wrong way! That little boy is going to have a hard childhood because kids are cruel and they do what their friends and random other things tell them to do (mostly, not all kids). Obviously Clay is entitled to a child like any other person, and like the man said, he will love that boy to death, I just feel sorry for the boy when he gets a little older. I wanted to get that out, and I think I'm not the only one.

  • i do not like him more, nor like him less.....i like his voice, that's all

  • No.

  • I agree!! he has a fantastic voice and is a real sweetheart. I dont see why ppl believe one shud dislike someone just becoz they are gay?!

  • Clay is wonderful. I was always a fan and still am. His sexual orientation makes no difference to me.

    He is still the same amazing singer, actor, philanthropist, role model, and father he always was.

  • No...why does it matter that he is Gay? Does it matter that my neighbors is left handed??? WHO CARES!!!!!!!

  • nope

  • He's the same guy today as he was yesterday.  I loved him then, love him now, will love him tomorrow.

  • u kno...i truly looked up to him when i was like six and when i was younger(10-11) all my friends used to say "He's gay! get over him!" ... but now to hear that he IS gay...it hurts BUT i do feel good knowing that he's doing this for his son & all...its just... HES GAY! lol but i still love clay, w/ all my heart! and that will never change :)

  • Gay or Straight I LOVE CLAY AIKEN!!!!

  • If it hasn't been said already, don't forget that Barack Obama's mother's real first name was Stanley. And John Wayne's real name was Marion, which sounds feminine if you've never seen it in print. I'm sure there are others.

  • I liked it better when he was just the nerdy gay guy with a great voice. Now they dressed him up all creepy-like and made him something he really wasn't. Don't use bull like, "Truth is the way, so it don't matter if he's gay."

    Honestly, truth is out the window for this guy. He's too dishonest now... and creepy. He still has got a good voice, but the man behind it is fake.

  • Of course I like him more. I am always going to like and respect a person who is honest more than I would a liar!

  • whats the point of this hateful subliminal homophobic question??? I admire people who are real, honest and grounded... this web-site is a waste.... bye bye grade B commentators and production value

  • Yeah I know he is gay,but it doesn`t matter whether he is gay or not!!!

    I still love him and his music.

    Isn`t it true clay`s voice is like a angel,everybody is attracted by his voice?

    Don`t underestimate his musical talent just by his sexuality.

  • lol at the title " IM A GAY DAD "

  • I love Clay Aiken just as he is :)

  • this is the biggest suprise of the year

  • I knew it a long time ago. when i saw him on idol

  • I have no much more respects for Clay now knowing he came out to install the correct moral values for his child.

    Telling the truth or not is a moral question, being gay or not isn't.

  • who in the world has ever said "I know Clay Aiken is straight!" no one....

  • Who in the world didn't know Clay was gay!?

  • Can we stick some dollars in that cleavage? It is soooo hard to take this seriously when you dress like a high school girl desperate for some attention rather than professionally for public view. Cenk dresses very professionally!!!

  • i don't care that he's gay, kinda knew that already. i mean come on listen to speak, watch his mannerisms. i agree w/ this guys observation of diane sawyer, i've thought for a long time now that she is the fakest reporter out there. oh, and i think she needs to come out as a lesbian, she's so gay too!

  • If you just listen to him talk about the situation, he's a pretty normal guy with normal dreams & needs. Not the freak people make him out to be. The mother's birth name is Colleen Foster (David Foster's sister), but their family for some reason gave all the girls male nicknames & all the guys female nicknames. Must be an inside joke. She is Jaymes with a 'y'. Clay will be a great father as he has worked with kids all his life. Jaymes calls him "a natural caregiver, a perfect person."

  • Why do people care so much about the non-singing aspects of his life? He's just a really good singer. I really like his voice. But damned if I'm gonna give two shits about whether he's gay or not.

  • :D You deserve a medal for being a horrible, horrible person. Bless you too.

  • The only objecktion I have is clay singing to his kid. LOL love is love.

  • as gay people (like black people) see themselves as a "community", surely the "gay community" should hate this guy for lying about it for so long?

  • question is what about these men out raping women and killing people? let this white fool  be gay .the biggest threat is the war and the economy fuck that butt pusher who gives a fuck real talk

  • Cenk!!! A GAY haircut? Did Fox news rub off on you at the political conventions? I am SOOOO disappointed!

    More power to ya, Clay!

  • Ok we all saw it coming but remember you can stick a truck driver in a dress and in some states and people think its a woman!

    There will always be some people that are so dumb they don't see it coming and then get all pissy when they feel like they've been duped.

    Personally I ain't gonna lose much sleep over it!

  • wow, gay? nobody saw that coming (sarcasm)

    either you've always liked the guy or not. most people suspected it anyway, so him coming out shouldn't change anything.

    i've never liked him to begin with. this doesn't change anything

  • yes!!! i do like him more....now i can laugh at a lot of his fans who are those people who think gay men shouldn't get married or have kids...i mean it didn't shock me at all, but i'm sure somewhere there are people who are in shock...somewhere

  • damn it turk your good but don't attack people who don't deserve it. JAMES???

  • How is ashley a guys name?

  • like ashley from gone with the wind maybe?

  • I could never like him more.

  • He`s going 2 love that kid 2 death, Beautiful comment Mr,Cenk.

  • Clay is gay?? damn i didn't see that one coming

  • I think Jaymes changed her name, in honor of her dead father.

    Yea- you should kinda feel like an ass for that.

  • ya' know...the detail lays in the balance...what is the deciding factor impressed upon you of "gaydom"? What's it gonna' be: If some people are sure someone's gay because he is just too good looking or is it because he's a little plain looking with a nice "dew"...? And as far as your opinion of what Clay Aiken can sing anymore or what he can't sing is not any of your trendy popularized notions of what is important about singing or song writing, to judge.

    Clay's really Ok, although off key abit

  • get real! Most of these post's about a very public man...are psychologically "dislexyc" psuedo intellectual dribble...I can't stand people who always think they know someone is gay because of a look about them...that is the first and most frustrating problem between young girls and boys when someone ends up (because of trendy diabolical popularizations) assumes they "just know" something personal about someone by their look...sot you and blow off!

  • Okay, it's your turn Ryan Seacrest... Sanjaya you can tell people your are a trany now.

    if you are a guy on american Idol you should have to come out as straight, because everyone assume your gay from the start.

  • Is this supposed to be a comedy show?

    Fairly lame.

    Why the Diane Sawyer hate?

  • I don't like him any better or more...He didn't tell me anything we didn't already know I'm just gald he was able to admit it to himself

  • Oh, this just in - water is wet.

  • lol like yea clay's gayness was painfully obvious

  • Count of hands - who didn't know he was gay the first day on American Idol? Come on people.

  • the footloose haircut!

  • somethin about mary haircut

  • Eww!

  • Clay still has the most beautiful voice & natural charisma. There may be songs he can't perform anymore referring to romance & women which is a shame'cuz Clay really can sing. I hope none of his past projects become some gay anthem. And Clay, please stay reserved about ur private life'cuz personally I really never cared who u were sleeping with.U know?I think they could've made Jaymes look better 4 this interview. 1 more thing, ur baby's beautiful!!

  • i though everyone knew anyway

  • Was her birth cerfiticate name "James"?.... Maybe her name is "Jamie" and she uses "James" for variety... LOL

  • Eh good for him, i see no reason that people should have to deny there sexuality in this day and age.

  • nice cleavage ana.

  • Clay is gay all day .

  • yes, very

  • James probably changed her name when she was young. Like that actress Jaime King. Back when she used to model, she went by James King. I think it was cool because, here you have this beautiful, very feminine looking model chick with the name James. In the case of this woman it just sounds silly because shes old, lol.

  • Good on him... I'm glad he came out, it was getting ridiculous that he never actually would say so when people would ask. He was so bitter and mean to people before, now he seems like a cool and mature guy.

  • At least he fixed his hair. It looked like shit before.

  • On Mad About you, Helen Hunt's character was officially called Jamie. But in many episodes, Paul Reiser called her "James," as in - either that's her full birth name, accoridng to Paul, or his nickname for her. Either way, I think James is still within bounds of reason for a woman.

  • well we all knew that... shiiiit

  • Which "fine culture" are you talking about? All of the single-parent families with mothers on welfare? All of the kids who are caught in the middle of two parents battling over a divorce? Or was it something else?

  • What's wrong with gays? They are humans too. In The Netherlands, gays and hetero's are the same.

  • Duh. I knew that Aiken was a fruitloop from the start. Who didn't?

  • i love Cenk lol

  • Just another publicity stunt to keep another corporate-produced starlet in the news.

  • Btw guys, I don't know if spelling counts in making a name feminine, but her name is Jaymes Foster. Yes, with a Y. Just FYI.

  • James King is the actress (girl) from Pearl Harbour. I think it's kind of a kool name for a girl. I'd might even consider using it myself if it weren't my father's name and I don't want to name any of my kids after him. :|

  • Who is Clay Aiken?

  • You guys are hilarious the thing on Diane and Clays Haircut and Jaymes! lol I liek how y'all can report on serious topics then something trivial like this.

  • I don't care that he's gay. Sexual preference is something that people are born with. But I have a lot of respect for him having the guts to say this publicly. He shouldn't have to talk about this, and it doesn't matter, but he still has a lot of guts. And the guy can sing. I can't stand that kind of music, but the guy can sing.

  • Clay Aken gay, who knew

  • it could totally be James.. and they could call it Jamie.. James could be the "real" name if you ask me.

  • Yes james is close.

    btw, i've known men named sara

    the really masculine names are things like

    Jefferey

    William

    Johnathan

    Scott

    Eric

    Steven

    Where things like James and Matt are names i can see some women having.

  • well you must be on crack if thats the case.

  • Cenk, what about Jamie? That could be a womans name in my opinion. Just abbreviate it, sounds alright to me. btw anna looks smoking hot in this clip.. phieev...

  • clay aiken is the greatest guy ever. i love him no matter what. wo ever say's something bad about him; you're just jealous. and btw.. he's still gorgeous!

  • WDF How is his son gonna handle his days in school. That would suck if my dad was a gay guy. I HAVE NOTHING against gay people, but it would be weird to have a gay dad

  • Its not actually that weird. I'm a high school student right now, and my friend has lesbian parents and nobody makes fun of him for it. These days, most kids mind their own business and try to show a certain level of respect, even if it doesn't show all the time. But elementary school, on the other hand... haha.

  • I'm guessing you're from a pretty good sized high school with a lot of diversity. My high school had about 600 students total, and there is no way that a kid with homosexual parents wouldn't have been taunted for it, at least from the more bigoted students.

  • I love Clay Aiken.

  • I wish James could be a girls name...

  • Why can't it be? James King?

  • Yeah, but its not 'officially' a unisex name

  • Oh, I didn't get that far in the video.

  • It totally could.. Haven't you watched "FRIENDS"? :) Remember.. Rachel want's to name the baby James..

  • damn ana's hot!!

  • I named my daughter Lyndon (conbination of her grandmonthers names - Linda & Donna). Lyndon is traditionally a male name, but everyone I meet likes it on her ( I don't know if they would tell me otherwise). It could be that, up here in Canada, Lyndon is not really a known name at all, except for the former US president (and I definately did not name her after him)

  • This is like Wesley Snipes admitting to everyone that he's black.

  • I love Clay

  • If you judge people, you have no time to love them "Mother Teresa "

  • Why did I suspect this before hearing about the news?

  • ana on the left is great, i wish she'd more political stuff too

  • that girl on the left is just useless. why's she even there. :\

  • Does this mean you're coming out too? ;)

  • maaaybe just for you. :P

  • Haha, I deserved that.

  • i think this is just sweet. (:

  • Come on guys.....who cares if her name is James? it's awfully strange of you to be so accepting of homosexuals and yet act as if a woman having a male name is an affront to society. If she were a lesbian, would that make it ok? How about a transsexual? Your claimed open-mindedness is in question.

  • He's jk-ing

  • Anna cleavage is nice

  • I think Jamie would be the femine equivelant of James.

  • I don't know who this guy is and I don't care that he is gay. God bless him.

  • If it's truly good music, he won't have to worry about it - people truly won't care. If it's more of the same old pop-crap that everyone seems to be doing these days, then he might have something to worry about.

  • He sounds like a gay John Edwards.

  • yep gay and still ugly...do ya think we even care about clay aiken? no we dont care about him period. His 15 minutes is way up.

  • aw, sounds like he's going to be a great dad.

  • maybe it's jaimes? a nic for jaimee? or maybe not.
