Clay Aiken comes out

Clay Aiken comes out of the closet. I'm shocked! No, really, I am. Not that he's gay, of course. But that he had the balls to be open about it. I expected him to pull a Barry Manilow and just go through his whole life pretending.

The night before, Lindsay Lohan finally confirmed her relationship with Samantha Ronson. And a couple weeks ago, Perez Hilton reported that New Kids on the Block's Jonathan Knight has a boyfriend. Who knew there were all these gays in the music business?

Also, I must take this opportunity to plug Clay's song "Invisible." I still listen to it. It has a sugary chorus that sticks in your head, even if its lyrics are creepy and stalker-ish (If I was invisible/If I could just watch you in your room...) Or maybe that's precisely why I like it?
