'IDOL' AIKEN IN GAY SEX CLAIM

January 27, 2006 -- "CLAYMANIACS" are out for blood now that a former Green Beret has gone public with his claim that he had a gay sex romp with "American Idol" superstar Clay Aiken.

Alleged Aiken love toy John Paulus has been deluged with death threats from the singer's fervent fans ever since his name was leaked onto the Internet as the man who was blabbing to the National Enquirer that he had sex with their beloved "Idol," who's repeatedly denied being gay. The story is in the Enquirer issue out today nationwide.

"He is getting death threats from Clay's fans," a friend of Paulus tells PAGE SIX. "After his name was leaked on a couple of gossip Web sites, he's been getting threats. But he's also gotten calls from gay porn directors who want to cast him in a movie, kind of what happened after John Wayne Bobbitt got famous."

Paulus, 38, passed a polygraph test administered by the Enquirer in an attempt to corroborate his bombshell claim that he had sex with Aiken at a Quality Inn in Garner, N.C., on Jan. 2. In the new Enquirer, Paulus claims he and Aiken had 90 minutes of man-on-man passion at the hotel, which is near Aiken's hometown of Raleigh, N.C.

The muscle-bound ex-soldier says Aiken contacted him after seeing his picture on the Internet : "I have several personal ads on gay men Web sites," he told the Enquirer. "Clay later told me he saw my pictures on a couple and decided to e-mail me. On Dec. 16, using the screen name of 'valleyprettyboy,' Clay sent me his first message.

"He wrote, 'Hey man, see you're online. I'm 26 years old from Raleigh and would love to talk. I have pics but I have a very recognizable face and I can't post the pics. I would be happy to send them to you if you can promise absolute discretion."

Paulus added that in later e-mails, Aiken "told me that he had just come out of the closet to his mother and a few close friends last year. He told me that he was single again, having broken up with his boyfriend about five months ago."

Aiken has always maintained that he is straight, but in 2003 he told Diane Sawyer on ABC's "Primetime Live," "I have some very effeminate qualities." His spokesman, Roger Widynowkski, declined to comment on the Enquirer story yesterday.

Can't say I'm suprised...kind of a shitty thing to do to though

I thought everybody knew he was gay.

I thought everybody knew he was gay.

Me too lol

MadTV is gonna have a field day with this!

It couldnt be more obvious, I just cant imagine Clay saying hey guys I just want to taste some !@#$%^&*] tonight or lets go find some !@#$%^&*] tonight, just doesnt mix.

Hopefully photos or some home videos wont be realeased next.

Chances are it's true because the magazine could get sued if it weren't. They are very good about their fact checking these days.

Can't say I'm surprised.

Hrm...I can't say that I'm surprised.

I'm sure that Conan's going to have something to say about it! I remember when they had a spoof of American Idol with Triumph the Comic Insult Dog and he rated the singers, "gay", "very gay", and "Clay Aiken."

GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

J/K.

Lol

I wish he would just suck it up (pun not intended) and claim who he is. [!@#$%^&*], I'm still closeted to everyone I know IRL except for two people that I trust very much (and I only told them because one's gay and the other's bisexual), but I feel that when I come out to my parents, I don't give a damn about anyone else who finds out.

But then again, I don't have a multi-million dollar singing career either and millions of teenage girls throwing their panties at me...but still, its the principle of the thing!

LoL

While it is easy and fun to poke fun at this, I think some of us on this board can understand, to a certain extent, what he's going through. I'm struggling with this in a podunk town where everyone feels entitled to air out your dirty laundry. I can't even imagine how it feels to be under a constant microscope and not be afforded the time to personally deal with this.

I'm sure that Conan's going to have something to say about it! I remember when they had a spoof of American Idol with Triumph the Comic Insult Dog and he rated the singers, "gay", "very gay", and "Clay Aiken."

Conan and Triumph rule!!!!

One of the funniest things I've ever seen is Triumph talking to those in line to see Star Wars Episode III.

LOL

LOL

I'm just impressed that nelly Clay landed a muscle-bound Green Beret. However, I feel the phrase "man on man sex" might be a slight stretch of the imagination.

"One of the funniest things I've ever seen is Triumph talking to those in line to see Star Wars Episode III."

LMAO! I loved that!

"And what's your name? Obi-wanna--wack off right now?"

The claymates are so going to go after this guy.
