After telling the Enquirer about his alleged 90 minute bareback love session with Clay Aiken and then posting photos of the alleged cum rag on his blog, the suddenly-not-that-famous John Paulus is now pretending to be sorry about the whole thing. In a long-winded apology on his blog, Paulus claims to have seen the light about his actions not recently, but immediately after selling the info to the Enquirer, and his blog was not a tool to hurt Clay's career, but rather to fight back against his fans, which is something we don't entirely understand, especially in light of all the fame-mongering Mr. Paulus has done in the past several months.

We wonder if his feelings of contrition got in the way of his performance in the porno he shot for Michael Lucas. Rather they probably helped him get in the mood for being punished.

We’ve heard one too many stories about Clay Aiken and John Paulus. Enough is enough. Madonna does not even get this much coverage on blogs.

And while John Paulus makes his porn debut this week thanks to our pal Michael Lucas, Perez Hilton returns to posting the items that we love from him. Let’s not forget it was Perez who broke this story after all. We may hate on Perezzle from time to time, but when he’s good, he’s good. We just wish he would think before getting dressed.

Perez has a press release, whether fake or not, that is bound to make you laugh. Seems like there may be a group of Claymates interested in suing Aiken’s handlers for false advertising.

The whole text is after the jump.

It appears as if Clay Aiken has his own equivalent to Monica Lewinski’s jizz-stained blue dress; a cumrag. At first John Paulus, Clay’s hunky North Carolinian online hook-up, insisted he isn’t coming forward ($$) to hurt anyone’s reputation ($$). But his story ($$), cumrag and all, has now mysteriously ($$) ended up in The National Enquirer. We wonder what it was that changed his mind ($$).

Paulus tells the world that Clay doesn't play safe:

"On Dec. 16, using the screen name of 'valleyprettyboy,' Clay sent me his first instant message," Paulus claims.

He contends that, after a month's correspondence, Clay admitted he wanted a "discreet bf."
After arranging a meeting at a Quality Inn in Garner, N.C., Paulus says, "Clay told me his ex-lover was selfish and mean. And within five minutes he started to feel my arms and put his hands on my leg.

"We started to mess around and Clay said he wanted to have sex with me. Before I knew it, we were having unprotected sex.

Ok, so no one is surprised about the gay sex part. But we suggest that next time valleyprettyboy goes in search of a discrete “bf,” he check his million-album-selling risky butt into a classier hotel than the local Quality Inn.
