Clay Aiken Gets New Hairstyle, Comes Out as Not Gay, Probably

Clay Aiken is sporting a new look and speaking out about the rumors swirling around his sexual orientation. You may remember awhile back there were a couple people who claimed to have had internet affairs with Aiken and provided the tabloids with some naughty photos taken and supposedly transmitted by Aiken’s webcam. The American Idol star claims this wasn’t him at all, merely someone who looks a lot like him. The new hairstyle will certainly separate the real Clay Aiken from his gay internet doppelganger and hopefully put the rumors (and lawsuits by his teenaged female fans who feel they were duped into believing they had a chance with the superstar) to bed (pun intended). Here’s what the singing sensation told People Magazine about the controversy:

"What do you say (to that question)? … It's like when I was 8. I remember something would get broken in the house, and Mom and Dad would call me in and say, 'Did you do this?' Well, it didn't matter what I said. The only thing they would believe was yes. … People are going to believe what they want."

Now, he didn’t say that he isn’t gay, but with a haircut like that, how could he be?
