]]> Clay's handprint ceremony American Idol star, Clay Aiken, has had quite a year in 2008.  It was filled with life-changing moments and his fans (most of them anyway) have stood by his side through every moment.  He’s even spoken about the amazing support he’s seen through this year’s ups and downs.  He said: "We’ve been very impressed and my heart has been thoroughly warmed to find people very supportive."

This year, Clay became a father for the first time when his best friend, Jaymes Foster, gave birth to little Parker. 

Next, Clay publicly announced that he is gay and has embraced the truth about his sexuality ever since, even making humorous reference to it in an appearance on the short-lived variety show Rosie Live!

What’s Clay planning for 2009 (his run in the Broadway show, Spamalot, ends on January 4th)?  "I want to spend time with Parker,” he says. “He’s still uber-dependent.  I’m ready for him to start talking. I’m ready for a little action!  We’ll take a little bit of time, we’re not quitting or anything, we’re just gonna take it slow for a month or so and recollect once I get back.  I may never have any free time once Parker starts walking and talking!"

I think that sounds like a perfect plan.  I know that there are days, as a mother, when I wish I could just slow down and enjoy it more so I can’t imagine how crunched for time someone like Clay is!  I wish him all the best in the new year!
