Corked Wine and Cigarettes said...: Serioulsy. Yawn. But is it just me, or does he look like that special fellow from LA Law in that picture? Not being insensitive here, I'm just sayin'.; September 23, 2008 at 9:30 PM
Joya said...: My thoughts exactly!; September 23, 2008 at 9:50 PM
Cathy in AK said...: Perhaps he wanted to clear things up after the birth of his child. For himself, not the rest of the planet.

Oh, and the Titanic sinks in the movie.; September 23, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Cathy in AK said...: And LiLo *is* dating SamRo. So glad we cleared that up.

Was it a slow news day or something? Crikey!; September 23, 2008 at 10:57 PM
debra said...: Are you kidding me? This is the best that People can come up for a cover shot?

I'm getting way too cynical. I need to lighten up and enjoy the "surprise" of finding out that Clay is gay.

Note to self: lighten up!; September 24, 2008 at 8:18 AM
Deaf Brown Trash Punk said...: haha. at least he doesn't have to feel defensive about his sexuality anymore, though. so kudos to him... i guess; September 24, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Dwight's Writing Manifesto said...: Let yo' freak flag fly, Clayton!

Which brings to mind the obvious question: Whom does popular culture turn to now to give their collective "Oh, c'mon!" raised eyebrow?

(And don't say Tom Cruise because I believe Andrew Morton.)

Does anybody find it odd/interesting that the TMZ-type celebrutard entertainment media has changed/(d)evolved from "Gotcha!" outings ala Troy Donahue to passive-aggressive "Oh whatEVER" outings ala Richard Simmons and David Gest?

Is this better or worse? And in this day and age isn't this a bit like saying "hey, did you know Pat Morita was... an ASIAN? Srsly."; September 24, 2008 at 3:42 PM
KD said...: Pat Morita? F'realz?

I dunno. I'm just glad that when I enjoy a Melissa Etheridge song, people no longer feel obligated to inform me that she's gay. Though I do miss my standard response of "I wonder why she hasn't hit on ME yet?"; September 24, 2008 at 9:12 PM
datinggod said...: i hear you on the yawn . . . but, still, how wonderful will it be that a singer won't need to come out years into his career because it'll be so situation normal it would be like madonna coming out in saying she isn't a natural blonde??? . . . (and clay lives in north carolina, and it is scary bible belt frothing and gnashing down here :); September 25, 2008 at 9:58 AM
pseudosu said...: This just in-- "earth not flat"

This just in for clay-- "Being gay not that much of a biggie dude."; September 25, 2008 at 4:50 PM
