Hey don't look at me ... I just provided the sperm.

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.

Last Thursday, we reported that Clay Aiken and Jaymes Foster are expecting - through artificial insemination. It's a little bit strange.

Well, we can now report two new pieces of news:

1. Jaymes Foster is having a boy!
2. Clay Aiken is far from pleased when you ask him about it!

The former American Idol runner-up demonstrated a rare masculine streak last night, getting all up in the grill of a celebrity gossip photographer from TMZ who just wanted some more information on the unborn child.

Check out the video of Aiken's rage here. Then follow this link to see what Clay's legions of fans are saying about him and Jaymes Foster.

Fans of singer Clay Aiken, also known as "Claymates" are showing support after a representative for producer David Foster confirmed that Aiken is fathering a child. David's sister, music producer Jaymes Foster, is the mother.

"OMG Clay Aiken is my Hero," writes one fan on a Clay site.

"I love him and wish him the best of luck!"

Adds another on the same site:

"Now today I almost choked on my sandwich, Clay is going to be a father? And in three months? It blew me over. All I can say is 'Congratulations!' That is going to be one handsome and talented baby."

Still, some have expressed doubts about Clay Aiken's impending fatherhood.

"How can he have time with his baby if he's always on a busy schedule. Like tours, CD releases, talk show[s]. Life becomes crazy with a baby."

Many people have long speculated that Clay Aiken may be gay.

Why? No idea. Well, he's apparently not - he's gotten someone pregnant... though her name is Jaymes. Our point? We have none. We're just saying.

According to TMZ, Clay Aiken is going to be a daddy, having knocked up Jaymes Foster. No, we're serious! Clay Aiken and Jaymes Foster are expecting!

Sources say that the baby mama is a record producer, who produced some of his albums and is Clay's best friend. He lives with her when he's in L.A.

Jaymes Foster, seen here with Clay Aiken, is due in August.

She's the sister of record excutive and (Brody Jenner's stepfather) David Foster. Jaymes Foster in her late 40s, though her exact age is not known.

She divorced a few years back and has no kids. Clay Aiken is 29.

UPDATE: Apparently Jaymes Foster was artificially inseminated.

Clay is a gonna be more than just sperm to her, however - he will have an active role in raising her child. Aiken's rep has not yet commented. Stay tuned.

Say what you want about Clay Aiken, but the American Idol runner-up from season two is nothing if not unique.

Need evidence? Check out this clip of the singer channeling his inner Justin Timberlake during a recent rendition of "SexyBack." It's pretty entertaining.

And we can say this for certain: it's better than any junk that so-called singer Heidi Montag will come out with on her future album...

We didn't like Tori Spelling before. She's a bad actress, a greedy daugther and a reality TV whore.

Now, however, we've really had it with the fake blonde.

On the American Music Awards last night, Spelling dared to mock Kelly Ripa.

Sort of.

Making fun of the controversy from a recent Clay Aiken appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly, Tori placed her hand over the American Idol crooner's mouth.

We at The Hollywood Gossip are not afraid to expres our support/unabashed, unrelenting love for Ripa - and it was irritating enough when Rosie O'Donnell somehow made this a gay issue. But at least she isn't as useless as Tori Spelling!

Lint in our pockets isn't as useless as Tori Spelling.

Seriously, we thought she was dead weight back in her 90210 days, and she's only regressed since.

In less angersome, music awards news:

• Britney Spears made a surprise appearance in a breast-acular strapless dress to present.
• Nicole Richie introduced her dad Lionel singing "All Night Long."
• Jamie Foxx introduced the world to his biological mother in the audience, whom he hadn't seen in many years.

And Tori Spelling continued to suck.

It all started innocently enough.

Clay Aiken co-hosted Live with Regis and Kelly Friday morning. We assume the American Idol runner-up was simpy playing around when he stuck his hand over the mouth of Kelly Ripa - but Kelly saw nothing funny about the incident.

Our gal responded: "I don't know where that hand has been!"

It was a seemingly innocuous remark, especially coming from the (beautiful) mouth of a mother of three kids during cold and flu season.

Tell that to Rosie O'Donnell, however. Reviewing the incident on The View today, Rosie claimed:

"To me that was a homophobic remark ... If that was a straight man, if that was a cute man, if that was a guy that she didn't question his sexuality, she would have said a different thing. I was very offended by that ... I guarantee, if that was Mario Lopez, she would not have said the same thing."

Such an absurd statement prompted Ripa to call into the show to defend herself, saying she has no fear of gays.

"You have to be more responsible," she told Rosie. "Not everybody is homophobic."

Amen, Kel! We're sure Lindsay Lohan isn't. She'd probably take it from any guy.
