Clay Aiken is gay, 90210 is still on the air - and someone cares about this?

Ok, more time away from the political shakeup of the Presidential election race, and the potential shakedown to the public and economy from the trillion dollar bailout.

So, what’s going on in the world of entertainment that is worth discussing?

There is news about Clay Aiken being gay. Not rumors which have existed since he first appeared and killed brain-cells on the profoundly bewildering success American Idol. This is an admission that he is gay by the performer himself.

Honestly I didn’t want to know about his private sexual practices. My life would never have been affected had he never said anything. If anything I am concerned by his admission in regard to the artificially inseminated child that he has. Because I strongly believe that if a person cannot have a child via nature’s process they should not have a child at all.

Though I must say that when a fan of Aiken wrote this comment I was taken aback

"This is really shocking news as I had no idea he was gay," read a comment posted by "Sheridansq." "And now I have to deal with this. I am not sure what to say to people who know I was a fan. ... I didn't go to work today and am not answering the telephone."

Seriously people. If you are so homophobic as to be afraid of going to work because people might know you are a fan of an artist you have serious personal problems. His sexual preferences have nothing to do with his ability to sing a song. Just as a sexual preference has nothing to do with any career. I like Freddie Mercury and his band Queen, and Elton John’s early songs. What the hell does that mean besides I like good rock n roll?

Beyond that what else is worthy of a few moments of reading?

Well the new 90210 will be extended to 22 episodes for the season, so it isn’t cancelled yet. I am still hoping it dies soon. But for those fans that the show must have since it has been extended, I have news.

It seems that Brandon (Jason Preistley) and Dylan (Luke Perry) will be on the next episode. Well in a sort of grab-ratings-in-a-lie kind of way. Neither actor will be on the show, as both had the good taste (and future career hopes) to deny the show. So instead we learn that Brandon writes emails, and Dylan will make a phone call. Amazing that they are so technology-friendly.

Best yet, the phone call of the ex-boyfriend of 2 of the original shows stars seems to start a fight. That’s brilliant. Jealousy over a phone call from an ex. There’s drama for you. Why do people watch this show?

Well that’s a bit of quick blurbs. I know something far more important, or at least interesting, is happening in the world of entertainment and celebrities. I’m just off my pace at the moment. That has to be the reason because someone has to be more interesting than this garbage.
