Australia's Very Own Clay Aiken
I think everyone - except for his "Claymates" believes Clay Aiken is gay. Aiken was the 2003 "American Idol" runner-up and has been the subject of rumors and tabloid reports questioning his sexuality. Now it appears that Australia has a case of the "Gaykens".
Many in Australia believed Anthony Callea, the 2004 "Australian Idol" runner-up, is gay but mainstream media pretty much left the subject alone. That is until a traffic reporter "outed" him on a morning radio show!: Vic Lorusso outed the singer after mentioning meeting Callea while discussing an old school mate on The Edge's breakfast show.
"You wouldn't know him. He's a nice guy but his partner, which is Anthony Callea, didn't want to know anything about anybody," the traffic reporter told host Christo."
A spokeswoman for the show claimed Lorusso had not outed Callea deliberately. "Vic had no idea that it wasn't common knowledge," she said. Neither Callea nor his management have yet to respond to the report.
He was questioned about the comment but quickly moved back to traffic. Let's hope that Callea feels comfortable enough to live his true life - whatever his sexuality -and let's hope his fans accept him for who he is. -- Wonder if the "Claymates" are capable of such support?!

John Paulus Admits He Was Hired To Lie
In an unexpected turn of events, former Green Beret, John Paulus, said on his weblog earlier this morning that he lied about his alleged January 2, 2006 sexual tryst with Clay Aiken.
This comes after more than a year of passionate assertion, whereby Paulus was adamant that he had a sexual encounter with Aiken in a North Carolina hotel room. Paulus previously claimed Aiken engaged him in conversation on the “Big Muscle” gay website, and they subsequently met for sex. According to Paulus, he later felt rejected by Aiken after his attempts to contact Aiken were snubbed.
Consequently, Paulus talked to the tabloids and press alleging that he was in possession of a towel containing DNA evidence, IM chat transcripts, and incriminating nude webcam shots of Aiken. Paulus passed two lie detector tests for the National Enquirer, his initial contact.
As of March 2, 2007, John Paulus is singing a different tune. According to Paulus, he was recruited by a group of eight people in July of 2005 to carry out a plot to discredit Aiken’s straight-arrow image and portray him as a promiscuous homosexual. Paulus is claiming they located him from the “Big Muscle” gay website:
“They saw me there and that I was muscular, attractive, and from NC. and persuaded me to help them. So we worked out this scheme over 6 months and put it into place going over ever detail. I even took 3 prior lie detector test so that I could pass one by any media that gave me one.”
According to Paulus,
"… it was nothing but a story concocted by another Idols fans and I was nothing, but the front person in this scheme.”
What about the evidence previously offered up by Paulus?
Said Paulus,
“Oh what about the towel? Used a prop. And the cell phone calls? They were calls made by ‘haters’ to my phone. And the hotel room? There was really a room 207 and I really did check in and I did walk with someone into the room. Clay and I never met nor have we ever had sex.”
All of this begs the question, why would John Paulus participate in such a scheme and then cling to it so tenaciously for more than a year?
Paulus explained,
“My only compensation was that they would get me in touch with Lucas to do porno.”
In his estimation, Paulus’ porn flick, for Lucas Entertainment, New York City, paid his bills for an entire year.
After Paulus initially went public with his allegations, last year, he claimed that some of Aiken’s fans (also known as Claymates) sent threatening emails and death threats, telephoned him at his job, and got him fired from his job, prompting him to contact the FBI for protection. An added incentive for Paulus to stick with his story, after his Lucas Entertainment deal, was:
“Because Claymates pissed me off and it was fun messing with them.”
He got his porn deal, he messed with the Claymates; so what caused John Paulus to do this sudden about face and claim that his liaison with Aiken was all part of a grand scheme in which he played only a small role? When asked, Paulus explained that his co-conspirators were offended by his apparently softening stance on Aiken, and he felt they were attempting to discredit him:
“Because when I told the haters I was over this and didn’t want to be a part of their game and I defended Clay by saying he looked good and happy on Kimmel they attacked me and said I was a traitor. I can not go on lying for them and destroying a good person.”
Amongst those, who Paulus alleged were involved, included an accused blog owner who goes by the name of “Percocet” and owns the Clay Aiken Fraud Squad blog, formerly named, Rabid Claymates Exposed. Percocet denied that she had any involvement in, or knowledge of, the “scheme” that Paulus spoke of.
“I am not, and to the best of my knowledge, noone on my blog is in any kind of cooperation with JP. It is becoming clear how insane he is. You can read his e-mails that he sent to me earlier tonight in my blog comments at 411. JP is just concocting a big story.”
Paulus went on to say,
“I’d be willing to have a press conference admitting that this was all a lie and that Clay and I never met nor did he ever solicit me for sex and that as far as I know he is straight.”
That's interesting slumming but John Paulus isn't the only reason people think Clay is gay. And I definitely don't think he should be ashamed.
Thank you for posting the article!
no doubt clay is gay and this anthony guy is too. be proud boys!
Clay is definitely not gay. You can think what you want but it isn't true. This shit gets so old. Give the guy a break.
