RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 8 - Former "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken is a father.
The 29-year-old crooner from Raleigh announced the birth of Parker Foster Aiken on his Web site's blog Friday.
Foster, who was artificially inseminated by the Aiken, reportedly gave birth to son Parker at 8:08 a.m. on 8/8/08.
"No hyphens. One first name," he wrote. "One middle name. One last name."
Aiken's mother, Faye, told Raleigh TV station WRAL the child was born in North Carolina. Aiken was a favorite of fans during the second season of "American Idol," where he finished second to Ruben Studdard. His album "Measure of a Man" went double platinum in 2003, and he made his Broadway debut this spring in "Monty Python's Spamalot."
The baby's mother is Jaymes Foster, Aiken's friend and record producer whom he met while performing on "American Idol." Their son was born at 8:08 a.m. Friday, and weighed 6 pounds 2 ounces and was 19 inches long, according to the statement on the Web site.
"The little man is healthy, happy, and as loud as his daddy," Aiken wrote. "Mama Jaymes is doing quite well also."

Posted: 8/8/08 at 5:02pmBlue, as I said on the thread on the main board, 8:08 on 8/08/08 is just too weird to be coincidence.

Was it a c-section or a regular delivery?
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#3
Posted: 8/8/08 at 6:11pmIt's being reported that Clay is going to sell the pictures to The Globe for an undisclosed amount. Now, I did hear the amount, which I can't repeat, but let me put it this way... Aiken will have enough for a latte on his way home... MAYBE a pastry.

Jane, sorry--I didn't check the main board, only here. I figured it was off-topic news!
Jersey, why can't you repeat the amount?

Posted: 8/8/08 at 6:24pmWhat I'm confused about is baby being born today. I thought it was only announced in the past few months, meaning less than nine.
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#9
Posted: 8/8/08 at 6:26pm
Yeah, Jane...lol. I can't imagine him getting more than that. I do find it funny that his baby mama is named Jaymes.
Marrianne, I think she was well along in the pregnancy before they made the announcement.
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#10
Posted: 8/8/08 at 6:35pmOkay, I thought I missed something somewhere. And yeah, this whole situation is just weird, in my opinion.
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#11
Posted: 8/8/08 at 6:38pmVERY weird. LIke how did they arrange for the birth to be at 8:08,8/08/08?
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#12
Posted: 8/8/08 at 6:38pmGood timing?

"I first misread this as "Clay Aiken is dead.""
LMAO!!!!! I did too. I was actually just going to ask if it was just me who kept reading it like that when I look at the boards. Guess I know the answer to that now. 
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#15
Posted: 8/8/08 at 8:25pmI keep reading it "Clay Aiken is dead," too. Glad I'm not going crazy.
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#16
Posted: 8/8/08 at 8:42pmhahah moi aussi, of course that may just be wishful thinking.
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#17
Posted: 8/9/08 at 9:44amwhen does this white trash get married?
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#18
Posted: 8/9/08 at 3:12pmAs soon as the state he lives in passes the bill to allow him to marry I would guess.
re: Clay Aiken is a dad#19
Posted: 8/9/08 at 4:15pmI was just about to come on here and say that that's what I keep reading also. Maybe it's because it seems more plausible than Clay Aiken being a dad?
