I'm not sure whether or not Clay Aiken fatigue has completely set in or not, but I thought I'd take a chance and post the latest tidbits People Magazine is enticing folks with about Clay. The headline of an interview on People.com with Jaymes Foster, the mother of Clay's son Parker, reads "Clay's a 'Natural' Dad" and my first thought was that it somehow referred to how Parker was conceived, i.e., Jaymes and Foster conceived Parker the "natural" away.
