Welcome to week of coming out of the closet! Or, rather, the week of coming out of the closet even though everyone already suspected you were gay.

First it was LiLo and Samantha Ronson, and now - shocker of all shockers - it is Clay Aiken.

Aiken chose People Magazine (we wonder how much they paid him for this) to share his story, telling the mag:

“Yes, I’m gay. I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things.”

Oh yeah. He has a child, remember? He donated his seed to a friend. Without ever sleeping with her. And he thinks no one ever suspected anything?

People (read: soccer moms) around the world are in a tizzy about this…er…revelation. Why? We have no idea. I mean, the dude is gay.

1) Who cares?
2) Who really didn’t see this one coming?

What do you think? Did you know Aiken was playin’ for the other team?
