hiddenmuse | A little R & R

{And when I say "R & R", I mean "Rants and Raves", my lovelies.}

Clay Aiken keeps telling everyone that he's not gay. What's next? A full-page ad in The New York Times advertising his heterosexuality? Better yet, will he just buy billboard space to advertise his overwhelming heterosexuality?

For serious, Clay ... I've got bad news for you, honey. As I'd heard a gay man say, "only gay men will talk openly about the medications they take ..." Let me break it down for you ... you didn't just tell us all that you have panic attacks - you told us that you're on Paxil for it. I'm surprised that you didn't tell us the dosage while you were at it!

Also, the whole thing about wanting to adopt kids? Are you now Angelina Jolie with Howdy-Doody's face and k.d. lang's haircut? Sure, it's a valiant thing - and if you do it, more power to you - I'm content with raising cats as children, not actual human children.

Now I'll just wait for the People magazine cover story in 10 - 15 years, with a splashy blurb and Clay finally joining Lance Bass in the "out of the closet teen heartthrobs" society.

Now, a rave: I've been indulging in a guilty pleasure ... cheesy music. While on iTunes the other day, I saw that Jordan Knight had a new CD out (yeah, he's still alive and making music ... imagine that ... hehe) - covers of love songs, called appropriately enough Love Songs. Needless to say, I did get a few of the songs - his cover of "Careless Whisper" is beautiful, and it seems that boyfriend has managed to rein in that eardrum-piercing falsetto from the "I'll Be Loving You Forever" days. And did I mention that he can actually *enunciate* - so I now know what the hell the lyrics are to some of those songs? It's a good thing.

I also got "London Bridge" by Fergie.
