Friends Support Clay Aiken, Jaymes Foster
We've already heard from his fans. Now Clay Aiken's friends are sending support and best wishes after hearing that he's going to be a father with friend and music producer Jaymes Foster.
Foster has been artificially inseminated with Clay's boys.
"Congratulations, Clay!" says American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson. "I think he will be a good parent."
Actor Eric Roberts and wife Eliza says their close friend Foster - the sister of music producer David Foster - pulled them aside at her 50th birthday party in Los Angeles in March to tell them she is pregnant.
Albeit unconventionally, Clay Aiken got Jaymes Foster pregnant!
"This is a story of two people, who perhaps not that typical as parents - whatever typical is - or at a stage of life typical for parent, want to have a child to love and to experience parenthood," Roberts says.
"These people have the best foundation of all to share such an important task, which is a strong, abiding friendship."
Jaymes Foster, who has been friends with Aiken since they worked together on American Idol, is due in August, a rep for David Foster confirms.
Eliza Roberts stresses: "People should understand: It's not like he's the donor and she's the surrogate. These are two people who have made a very loving decision to have a baby together."
Former American Idol contestant Carmen Rasmusen, who toured with Clay Aiken after the second season, lent her support, saying, "I've always thought Clay would make a great dad. He's great with kids... He's accomplished a lot in his career, so it's probably a good time for him to be a dad."
On the tour bus, Clay Aiken would talk about wanting to become a father.
"I remember him saying, 'I can't wait to be a dad and have a family and have my own kids,'" recalls Carmen.
"He really was looking forward to being a father, even five years ago. I thought it was so cute that that was a priority for him."

Dominique, Eric Roberts is an actor...hes just kinda old.
And He could know Jaymes. But who knows..maybe Jaymes got Eric to call around, and pretend that she was pregnant. How come they didnt show any pictures of her birthday. David Foster is famous, and people would of known about it.
But we may have to wait

After reading these comments, I have come to believe that you are not really true fans of Clay. Since when is it our business to know about Clay's private life. If Clay wants to become a father thats his business and not ours. Clay made me a believer of young people again and I can see and enjoy Clay in concert bercause he is not undressed, full of tatoos and earrings and can really sing. I too have been a fan of Clay's since AI and have belonged to the fan club since it was started. I look forward to every CD that Clay puts out and I just plain love the man. Clay is one of the good guys who has done so much in his 5 years on the scene and I dont recall reading about other pop stars doing what Clay is doing for children. So Clay wants to be a father and know the joy of raising a child. Whether he is married or not so what. Clay gives his all to us and his private life is his and again I say none of our business. I will always love Clay and be in his corner. Oh by the way, I a

katy=crap=sally.....same person. These people are not members on the fan boards or they would have posted these messages there. IF they left, why keep getting google reports on Clay? Don't get worked up by these silly people, it's the reaction they are looking for.

I love Clay, and I support him today, tomorrow and always. I came for the voice and stay for the man. If people leave because of this story.. then they were never really fans. Clay is a good man. No, he is a great man. He has done more in the five years he has been around, then most celebrities have done for decades. He is what being a role model is all about. He does set a good example. Always has. He does so much for children here in the US and all over the world. And, to top it all off.. there still is no proof or confirmation, that this baby is his. It's all been rumors and innuendos. People are taking the word of the tabloids. And, even the so called "real news" is only reporting what is off of TMZ. I mean really.. who believes any of the stuff they spew? Sure, maybe it's true.. but so far nothing has confirmed this rumor. But, if the baby is Clay's, then I do congratulate him. Maybe they are married. Maybe they're not. Maybe he was just doing something nice for a friend. Maybe th

I have just read the above and it appears that some people are in need of a life of their own. Clay is a fantastic entertainer and the best American Idol contestant ever (along with Kimberley Locke). His chosing to become a father, by "regular" or "irregular" means, I believe, is the business of the mother and himself. I've been a fan since AI and have never understood the relentless fascination with his sex life. Get a life of your own - whether it be sex life or other.

For the fans that are leaving because of this latest episode (not a scandal) They were far too invested in the first place and its their own fault for that, not Clay's. Shame on him indeed! He doesn't need fickle fans like you anyway. Probably all the claymate spamming and ridiculous defense of him has made him a laughingstock more than anything he's actually done. You guys should get a grip.

Greatnu, fans of the Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, the Eagles, Usher, Madonna, Lil Wayne, etc., have to pay to be entertained by them. Groupies that mainly wanted to get laid by one or all members of the band usually had to pay for their concert tickets also like everyone else. Greatnu, I'm kind of lost about what you think Clay Aiken fans expect from him. Are the women and some men hot and bothered by him? Guess what? Women and men felt the same way about Elvis, the Beatles, et al.
