The situation continues to get stranger - Clay Aiken’s baby has finally arrived. Born at 8:08 on lucky day 8/8/08, baby boy Parker Foster Aiken is going to need all the luck he can get with weirdo genes like his daddy’s. Wanting desperately to be a father, Aiken had his 50-year-old friend Jaymes Foster artificially inseminated. Does anyone else find this to be outta-this-world weird?

Whether you like him or not, there’s no denying that Aiken is gay – why he continues to deny the claims is a mystery because it’s so blatantly obvious. Women often worry about wanting to have children at a young age because of their biological clocks. As women get older, it becomes harder and more dangerous to conceive.

Men, on the other hand, can put fatherhood on the backburner as their biological clocks seem to be wound for life. Aiken was  rushing so much to have a baby that he didn’t even look for a suitable surrogate. Women are usually seen as high risk pregnancies after the age of 35. So at 50, Foster was way past the expiration date for a mommy-to-be. Maybe he’s dying and wanted his clone-like spawn walking this earth to replace his barely missed presence.

Whatever the reason of the conception, Clay is now a father. I think we can all agree that it's finally time to close down the fertilization clinics to celebrities because we don't need any more of them out in the world.
