Clay Aiken continues to avoid discussing his cock sucking ways. John Paulus, the man who claims to have bedded the American Idol reject, says otherwise. He wrote an email to the Miami Herald which reads:
It’s unfortunate that in their desperation, Clay Aiken fans would take a sarcastic retort that I made in response to their ludicrous assertion and construe it as a statement of fact. Again, there was never a legitimate recant made by me nor will there be. I stand by the story as reported by the National Enquirer and as told by me on the Howard Stern Show.
…
In interviews back in September 2006 with Diane Sawyer, and Larry King, when questioned whether or not he was gay, Clay Aiken declined an opportunity to provide a direct yes or no answer. In an interview given to People Magazine in the Fall of 2006 he was once again asked the question and again he chose to equivocate and not give a definitive yes or no reply.His current refusal and equivocation to the question provide credibility to my assertions. Those using his 2003 Rolling Stones interview as evidence of his heterosexuality do so in desperation.
Cue angry Aiken fans…

Why does anyone care? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? It’s Clay Aiken people, a guy who came in second in a crappy contest. If he had the chops of Cassandra Wilson (Queerty editors: when are you going to post a Wilson clip?) then maybe he would be important. But the man is a hack, no matter how many young/old girls get wet when he opens his mouth.
Heather_L_James
Is that Clay Aiken or K.D. Lang? Cuz she is already out.
Woof
GAY GAY GAY
ProfessorVP
I think it’s a fairly interesting threesome- Clay, his Claymates, and reality. In a way it’s like politics and how we wind up with people like Clinton, Bush, and possibly over the horizon, Giuliani- you can fool people when they want to be fooled. Or maybe more accurately, you can’t fool people unless they want to be fooled.
Charles
Whether Clay is gay or not is not the point.
This John Paulus guy is a total nutcase and lies about just about everything. But HE is the one that gets the headline – cuz that is what sells advertising. Sheesh.
It never happened. Get over it.

So Carol, regardless of the truth of Paulus’s claims, do you actually believe Clay is heterosexual?
Carol
ProfessorVP, have you considered another threesome, the one that consists of Clay’s stalker, gay bloggers and reality? It’s amazing how much weight the word of pornstar wannabe who is still freeloading off his mother at 40 carries among the gay media. These people are so desperate to prove that their ‘gaydar’ is right that they would believe anything.
Carol
“So Carol, regardless of the truth of Paulus’s claims, do you actually believe Clay is heterosexual?”
mozzer13, yes, of course I do. And I didn’t get that information from stalkers and tabloids, either.
mozzer13
Bless your heart, Carol.
John Paulus
Carol-
Let me reiterate as clearly and as unequivocally as I can; that allege “recant” was nothing more than a sarcastic response to ludicrous accusations made by the Clay Aiken cult.
It should not come as a surprise that the homophobic members of Clay Aiken’s cult would conveniently and desperately grasp onto sarcasm and take it as a statement of fact especially if it supports their belief that their gay icon is heterosexual.
I can make it no less unambiguous than to repeat clearly that Clay Aiken and I engaged in sex and that I stand fully by the story I shared back in January and February of 2006.
Carol
Whatever, mozzer13.
Dom
I really don’t care whether Clay is gay or not because as far as I am concerned his generic MOR music sucks dick in the ear. The last time I’ve seen something so homogenized was in a milk carton. And I can’t figure out his fear of the gays. He should spend more time talking to Kathy Griffin. She knows the score: once you’ve got the gays, you’re set for life – and afterwards (re:Judy Garland,etc.). And if he isn’t gay maybe he should stop posting on gay sex sites. That might help get his “straightness” across.
John Paulus
Carol-
Again the truth eludes you. I have no aspirations of being a pornstar and if I did choose to be, having Clay Aiken as a reference on my resume would be detrimental. 60 year old women is not the demographic of consumer the gay porn industry is seeking.
You can repeat the falsity that I “freeload” off of my mother, but no matter the countless times you do, it will make it no more fact than repeating that Clay Aiken is heterosexual.
Lastly, I don’t need “gaydar” do know that Clay Aiken is gay. I had 90 minutes of uninterrupted sex with the man to know that.
Carol
Oh, lookie who’s here. The liar himself.
As I said in another thread, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_liar
“Pathological liars often actually convince themselves that they are telling the truth, which in turn can alter polygraph tests and other questioning. Some have observed that when caught in a lie, pathological liars tend to become hostile or try to disregard the fact they lied; often playing it off as a joke.â€
Ash
Carol, what are you doing reading a gay blog? Don’t you have to pick up your kids from school or darn your husband’s socks?
mozzer13
John, I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Carol
Dom, what in a world gave you the idea that Clay Aiken is afraid of gays? His former hairdresser and backup dancer was gay, so was his publicist, and the conductor on his latest tour. He has no problem working with gays, and never discriminated people on the basis of their sexuality.
And just because someone claims to be Clay Aiken on the Internet does not necessarily mean that they are telling the truth. Just ask the stalker up there who has been snowed by a Clay impersonator for the last several months. The poor dear actually believed himself to be Clay’s real-life friend. It’s all on that Chexxxy’s blog linked above.
enchantress
Clay’s not afraid of gays, he hangs around them all the time. His friends are all pretty much gays and faghags. What he is afraid of is the evangelical homophobic corner of his fanbase, the ones who spend most of the money, finally getting a clue and realizing he’s gay. Shame really, he has a nice voice, and if he put out a halfway decent CD he wouldn’t need them any more.
Ash
Maybe yuy guys can clarify something for me: Why do you care? Clay is not denouncing gays or supporting anti-gay politicians (though I don’t follow his career or personal life, so correct me if I’m wrong), so who cares if he’s closeted? Sure, you may feel that it’s every queer’s duty to be out and proud, but he’s entitled to stay in the closet. If he is closeted, his life must be full of shame and pain. But if that’s the life he wants, it’s his business.
And I’ll always enjoy the entertainment idiot claymates like Carol provide.
Erik
Whoever is posting as John Paulus isn’t fooling me. He sure isn’t that articulate. Trust me, I know John. He’s kind of “slow”, frankly. There’s just something a little “off” about the guy, like he should be in remedial classes, y’know?
In fact, if that IS you, John, do you remember me from Legends? Erik from Chapel Hill? You liked my smile, remember? We got totally wasted on Trailer Park night. WAY too much vodka. (I can’t even bear to go near the stuff now.) All you wanted to talk about was Clay this, Clay that. On and on and on. My eyes were rolling back into my head, I was so bored. After you left, everyone at our table cracked up at what a weird little fuck you are.
So, who is this guy posting as John Paulus? Is John paying you to post for him so he sounds semi-intelligent?
Not buying it, sorry.
Ash
Why should we believe you met John Paulus any more than we should believe it’s actually Paulus posting?
Erik
You’re right. Believe what you want.
anne t
John is getting a little frantic now and so are you, queerty. You are printing all of this crap
like it’s true.
Queerty are you really behind John Paulus?
This article from a legitimate source says it all.

John Paulus Finally Admits Lying About Clay Aiken Tryst
By Mitch Marconi
Mar 6, 2007
So John Paulus is a liar? Shocking! A little over a year ago the Post Chronicle published a series of articles defending the claims against American Idol runnerup Clay Aiken by Paulus and received a great deal of grief.
The Clay Aiken haters seemed determined to make the story John Paulus concocted true regardless of its validity.
We also published an exclusive interview with Paulus which you can read below.
After telling the National Enquirer about his alleged 90 minute bareback sex session with Clay Aiken and then posting photos of the alleged clean-up towel on his blog, John Paulus is now all of a sudden sorry about the whole story.
In a long-winded apology on his blog, Paulus claims to have had a come to Jesus meeting. He’s apparently seen the light about his actions and not recently, but immediately after selling the dirt to the Enquirer, and his blog was never a tool to hurt Clay’s career, but rather to fight back against his fans.
Like our friends at Queerty, “We wonder if his feelings of contrition got in the way of his performance in the porno he shot for Michael Lucas.”
The Blog entry has since been removed but the Neutral Zone has the text.
So now we find out that like many, we were right all along. A Hat tip goes out to Mike Baron and Jim Brogan for their contributions to this subject.
__________________________________________________
The rags were looking all over in every aspect of Clay’s life after John Paulus’s lie came out last year. They have never, ever found one single thing in his life that he could be ashamed of or that would tie him to JP or to whatever pipedreams that scumbag Perez Hilton dreams up.
It’s funny. When someone is accused unjustly the press is all over it.
When they are vindicated the press doesn’t care, it seems.
Maybe it’s more fun to destroy a person’s reputation than it is to say they were wrong for believing the worst. ???
Is it more fun, Queerty?
I don’t think Clay is gay, but whether he is or not doesn’t matter to me.
What I do know to be true is that he would never ever have anything to do with the likes of John Paulus.
Clay is a man of integrity and has many wonderful friends. He doesn’t need garbage like JP.
I am not at all prejudiced against homosexuals. Many in my family and many friends are gay. I believe homosexuality is genetic.
andy
Definitely gay.
And I agree with mozzer – bless your little heart Carol.
djellabah
May I ask a simple question: Why does anybody care about this?
faghag
THE GUY IS A HOMOSEXUAL OF THE GAY VARIETY, HE IS GAYER THAN RICHARD SIMMONS WEARING A PINK TUTU ON MARDI GRAS.
SeaFlood
Wow.
I don’t think I have ever seen so many nervous het people in this space before!
Clay’s gay. The only reason it matters is because he is SO ridiculously gay and won’t own it. It also matters because, no matter how much shit we give him and his BAD music, no one wants to see him be like stars of old who had to be closeted and led lonely, horrible lives. Clay doesn’t have to be that way. And if you were REALLY a fan and REALLY concerned about him as both an artist and person, you ALL would try to help him just come out and support him once he did.
I mean… who can argue with 90 minutes of uninterrupted sex?
Also, as someone morbidly curious about the whole thing, I believe he sarcastically recanted due to pressure from “Claymates” who are really rabid when it comes to Clay… look at the defenses here!
(and he SO fucked that man… he had his CUM, folks… how do you think he got it?)
Michelle Skarlon
I don’t think there’s any such thing as being ridiculously gay. Gay is gay. Clay is gay. Come out come out where ever you are Clay! Your faghag fans love you and so would the gays if you came out and did some groovy music!
ms
This has very little to do with whether or not Clay Aiken is gay. This much more about how very easy it is to spead a rumor, to destroy a persons credibility, to see how far your story will spread and in the process become just a little famous yourself.
I actually hope Clay IS gay, at least for his sake. You can come out and say your’e gay, everyone will believe it. Just not the other way around. Once people have pegged you as gay thats it, your gay. Doesnt matter if you are or aren’t. Tough shit, we said your gay, case closed.
The bottom line is what has Clay Aiken done to deserve so much crap? The guy is alot stronger than I am, my head would have exploded a long time ago.
Carol
I’m baaack! Just for your entertainment, Ash.
enchantress No. 19, that’s a load of bullshit, and you know it. Believing one’s right to define his sexuality is not homophobic. Opposing the hounding and persecuting of the innocent person just because he is perceived to be in the closet is not homophobic. And stereotyping the entire fan base because on the phony FTC complaint filed by the group of Clay-hating freaks is about as smart as stereotyping all the gay people as stalkers and pathological liars just because John Paulus happens to be one of them.
And SeaFlood No. 28:
“I mean… who can argue with 90 minutes of uninterrupted sex?”
Someone who knows that the stalker is lying about it. Every aspect of the story has been debunked by posters on his blog long before he issued the recant.
“(and he SO fucked that man… he had his CUM, folks… how do you think he got it?)”
Didn’t you hear? He recanted the cum too, just a few days ago.
“It was a towel in my trunk that I used to put Armerol on my dash.
John Paulus”
By the way, if I post a picture of a wet dildo, would it prove that I just had sex with Britney Spears? Think about it.
Dom
OK, this is the last I’m saying on the subject.
Where is the lawsuit from Aiken to Paulus? Surely it would be quite easy to prove that he didn’t have sex with Paulus, since I’m certain he can prove he was not even in Paulus’ vicinity, and quite easy to prove that he never posted anything on a gay sex site, since URLs and the like can be traced. If Tom Cruise can sue to try to prove he’s not gay, then so can Aiken, although I can’t for the life of me figure out what the hell he’s worried about since nearly every male star in movies, TV or the recording industry has had gay rumors flying about them at some point in their career. If he’s that worried about his rep, then he should go to court; paulus can pay the legal bills if Aiken wins. And as far as this church matter is concerned, if Aiken had any balls whatsoever he’d tell them to fuck off, whether he’s gay OR str8. Proving your sexuality in order to perform for a bunch of right-wing homophobes is not something I would want on my resume. If Aiken is so upset about people making aspersions about his sexuality, perhaps he can take some of his frustrations out on these wackos, the ones who REALLY deserve his scorn. Since when does a popular recrding artist worry about kowtowing to the small-mindedness of a bunch of bigots? I’d like to see what Springsteen – or even Britney Spears, for that matter – would say to them.
abelincoln
Everyone’s missing the biggest question of all…
who gives a fuck.
Ash
Thanks, Carol. When I grow up I hope I get to be a pissed-off homophobic housewife who’s obsessed with an American Idol non-winner too.
ProfessorVP
SeaFlood said it well. Clay is over-the-top gay. Someone like, say, George Clooney or Anderson Cooper can get away with being coy on the topic. But there is nothing ambiguous about Clay. For someone as out-there-in-your-face gay to hide in plain sight, in 2007, is not funny. It’s like a 1950’s Liberace story. We can look back on that time and shake our heads, but in the 21st century, it’s a sad commentary on how far we haven’t come.
Carol
You’re welcome, Ash. When I grow up, I hope to be a narrow-minded bigot obsessed with other people’s sexuality to the point of fucking up their lives if they don’t allow me to dictate them.
ProfessorVP, you’re right, it is not funny. It’s a very sad commentary on our society when the gay community would rather support a proven liar and stalker than a decent person trying to make a difference in the world.
Ash
Well, I’m going to go ahead and correct your straight ass about me being obsessed with someone else’s sexuality. I don’t give a shit about Clay, but I am certainly fascinated by people as dumb as you.
Ash
Also, Carol: What “gay community” is supporting whatever-his-name-is, the “liar?” I don’t know what straight people imagine when they think of the gay community, is it a big group of rainbow flag-waving fags and dykes? You can’t use the comments on a blog as proof of the supposed “gay community” and its opinions. Also, what’s most amusing about you is how you talk about Aiken like he’s your friend. You call him “a decent person” when you have no idea. Maybe in his spare time he rapes babies while swinging bags of kittens into bags of puppies. Basically the point is, and has always been, people like you need to get a life.
Carol
Ash, you’re calling me all sorts of names just because I’m saying that Clay Aiken is straight and his stalker is full of shit. Why would you be doing it if you really didn’t care about his sexual orientation?
As for the gay community, I’m not just talking about this blog. Correct me if I’m wrong, but with the exception of Howard Stern, every web site, publication and radio show that gave the stalker the platform to spout his lies was run by the gay people. Many of them stated that they were doing it because they think Aiken is in the closet and it’s his duty to come out and set the example for other celebrities. They use every mention of him in the news as the opportunity to slam him and call him names because he would not give in to their demands. And then their faithful readers or listeners join in and sling some more mud Aiken’s way, while ridiculing anyone who happens to disagree with their treatment of him.
So tell me, if all these people don’t represent the views of the gay community on this subject, then who does?
And no, I’m not a friend of Clay Aiken, but I am a long-time fan who followed him for years. So, I daresay I do know more about him than people who get their information from sources like Queerty and supermarket tabloids. In addition to touring and recording, he runs a charity foundation benefitting children with disabilities, travels to disadvantaged countries as a UNICEF Ambassador for education, and is a member of Presidential Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities. All that sounds like a pretty decent person to me.
Incidentally, he undergone a full background check when he was evaluated for the Presidential appointment, and if any of the tabloid stories were true, I doubt that he would have qualified for that position.

Alexa
Carol, give it up sweetheart. There is no huge conspiracy to prove Clay gay, nobody here cares whether Clay is gay or not except you. Just because someone thinks he’s gay doesn’t mean they CARE if he’s gay and it doesn’t mean they’re not a fan. And, guess what, someone can be gay and still be a humanitarian and a “decent” person, they aren’t mutually exclusive. Elton John raises millions for charity. And you can be on a presidential committee and a UNICEF ambassador and not have to prove you’re straight (Angelina Jolie is openly bisexual, for example).
ProfessorVP, I’ve always found it a little unfair that someone who is obviously gay like Clay is pushed to come out more than someone who can “pass.” I’m not even sure that Clay coming out at this point would be that helpful, unless he decides to become an activist. Everyone thinks he’s gay anyway (except the Carols of this world) so nobody would really care. Someone like George Clooney or Anderson Cooper, or Jodie Foster, who many people perceive as straight would be far more of a talking point. Some of the straight people I know are still shocked that “Doogie” is gay, and the more people like him, who are seen as straight by the general public, who come out, the better.
Ted
Clay is or isn’t. Doesn’t matter. He is a fine, decent human being one way or the other.
But what DOES matter is that the wacko’s of the world are allowed to spread lies about decent folks and the tabloids help them. It is a sick world that we live it.
It is a lose lose situation for Aiken to acknowledge the fiction in any manner. Look what good it did Tom Cruise to sue and sic the lawyers on the tabloids. He won the case and still lost the war. So Aiken will never acknowledge this story in public. And it steams the stalker that he won’t get that attention. Because is really really really wants that attention.
You would have to be a dimwit to believe this pile of fiction that this internet stalker is still trying to milk – two years later. After all the changes, retractions, unretractions etc.
But some people just WANT to believe the worst, so they ignore that the storyteller is obviously a nutcase.
Carol
Alexa, are you seriously suggesting that Queerty and the posters here who are tearing Clay Aiken a new one actually consider themselves fans? If that’s the case, I think you need to have your head examined.
And get a reading glasses while you’re at it. The issue was not whether being “decent” and gay were mutually exclusive. Ash suggested that I have no basis for thinking that Clay Aiken is a decent person, and I stated my reasons for saying that he is.
The Presidential Committee may not care if the person is gay, but I’m sure they would take an issue with one of their members trolling the Internet for one-night stands and putting themselves and others in danger by doing it bareback. The fact that Clay Aiken passed the background check strongly suggests that there’s no truth to those particular rumors.
So why don’t you go back to your Openly Clay board and plot new ways to help the stalker cause more damage to Clay? Maybe you can chip in for his limo ride when he tries to cause a scene at another Clay Aiken concert.
Ash
Once more, Carol, for old time’s sake, I am going to address you. I’m not calling you names because you’re saying Aiken is straight. I’m calling you names because you’re obsessive about it to the point of hijacking a thread on a gay blog to make sure people know how great your precious “singer” is. You are clearly an idiot with so little going on in her life she has to spend her time defending runners-up from American Idol. It’s funny ’cause it’s sad.
rigamortis
Don’t most of the Claymates believe Clay is gay by now? Those that didn’t believe it at first believe it now.I’d say 90% do. They don’t care. They are still fans.
