Is anybody really ever ready for fatherhood? Who knows, but it's safe to say nobody was ready for this: Clay Aiken is going to be a dad. That's right, the 29-year-old "American Idol" runner-up, "Spamalot" star and best-selling memoirist has fathered a child with his friend and record producer Jaymes Foster, according to reports. She's the sister of music mogul (and reality-show regular) David Foster. She also happens to be 50 years old. But don't get jealous, Claymates. Aiken's paternity was accomplished via artificial insemination, so he's still on the market (though he plans to be involved in the baby's life, friends say). The Clay thing may be weird; the Zac Hanson thing will just make you feel old. Hanson, 22, was the baby Hanson. Now he's the father of John Ira Shepherd Hanson. Happy Father's Day to all.
