It's confirmed: Clay's gay

Ahh another guy boy. Clay Aiken has apparently confirmed that he's gay.

What appears to be the cover of the forthcoming issue of People magazine was posted on the gossip Web site perezhilton.com yesterday. Aiken is posed with his new son, Parker Foster - who was delivered via a surrogate - and a headline proclaiming, "Yes, I'm Gay." The subhead continues: "The 'Idol' star opens up about his emotional decision to come out: 'I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.'"

A call to Aiken's representative was not returned.

A representative for People magazine neither confirmed nor denied the cover's accuracy, MTV News reports. "We can confirm that Clay Aiken and his son are featured on the next issue of People," the rep said, adding that the complete story will appear today at the magazine's Web site.



Aiken, who was the runner-up on the second season of "American Idol," is currently appearing in "Spamalot" on Broadway.
