Okay, not at all a shocker. People hits newsstands on New York and LA on Wednesday, and the new cover is a whopper.

Clay Aiken is officially coming out of the closet. In the magazine he basically says that he doesn't want to keep any secrets now that he has a child in the world.

Parker Foster Aiken was born on August 8 in North Carolina to Aiken's good friend Jaymes Foster, 50. The pair met when Aiken was a contestant on American Idol.

He was in "Spamalot" on Broadway earlier this year and is returning to the show.

Aiken's sexuality has been speculated for quite sometime and Aiken has remained quiet. While he has legions of female fans called Claymates, he also has been referred to for years as "Gaiken" by Perez Hilton and has been allegedly solicited gay sex online.

When the AP asked for a copy of the issue in advance, the magazine refused.
