It's Raining Men on American Idol Temenos Entertainment
'It's Raining Men' found it's way onto American Idol last week for the second
time, in Fox show that has a long and winding gay sub-text.
Idol contestant Kim Locke did an admirable job performing the classic. When the
time came to critique her performance, however, the notoriously critical Simon
Cowell was more interested in commenting on host Ryan Seacrest. Cowell commented
that the gay camp classic was one of Ryan's favorite songs.
The Marsha Wash song was also performed by American Idol winner Kelli Clarkson
in the first season of the show.
Ryan Seacrest, not to be outdone, commented on a show later that week, that
Simon's favorite song was 'YMCA', a song he first heard at a bar called the
'Manhole'.
Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest are not the only American Idol regulars whose
sexual orientation has been a subject of discussion. American Idol fans
discovered the online journal of Jim Verraros, one of the top 10 finalists from
the first season, and put the pieces together. Verraros came out last December
in an Advocate Magazine interview.
While Jim Verraros is the only 'American Idol' to come out of the closet, he
joins Will Young, the openly gay winner of the Brittish version of the show 'Pop
Idol'. Young came out shortly after releasing his first single in the UK.
This season contestant Clay Aiken has been the subject of much speculation.
While Aiken's hometown newspaper ran a story about him with the headline 'Female
fans achin' for Aiken', male fans have also been posting on American Idol
message boards around the net wanting to find out more about this top ten
finalist.
If Clay or any of the current American Idol contestants are in fact gay, it is
unlikely we will find out any time soon. Both Jim Verraros and Will Young came
out months after their respective Idol shows ended.

Will Young told not to mention he's gay to US
Will Young claims record bosses have told him not to mention
he is gay if he wants to crack the US.
He has also been told to have his teeth straightened and
whitened before he takes on America.
The singer says he may now turn down the lucrative deal.
He told The Sun: "I've been offered a major deal but I'm in a
dilemma.
"They want me to keep quiet about my private life and, worse,
they've told me to get my teeth straightened.
"I thought they were joking but that is the bottom line."

Young and Restless
Hunky Brittish pop singer Will Young got a bit restless staying in
the closet, se he came out in a major way.
Just days after his first single, "Evergreen/Anything is Possible,"
became the fastest selling debut ever in the UK.., Young told a
Brittish newspaper, News of the World, that he's gay.
"I feel it's time to tell my fans I'm gay. It's no big deal, just
part of who I am." Young told the paper, "I always try to be honest
with myself and truthful with everyone. My family and friends have
known ever since I have."
Though millions of his screaming female fans might be upset that
their hopes of a romance with Young have been dashed, News of the
World commended Young.

Idol Will snubbed again
(Zoe ... more tracks than winner Will)
WILL YOUNG fans are in for more disappointment as I can reveal the
Zoegate scandal.
An album of songs by the Pop Idol finalists, to be released on
Monday, features more tracks by fourth-placed ZOE BIRKETT than winner
Will.
Zoe, below, sings three songs on the CD — titled Pop Idol: The Big
Band Album — while Will performs on just two. Runner-up GARETH GATES
also sings two tracks.
Two weeks ago I revealed the Garethgate scandal where Pop Idol host
DECLAN DONNELLY told The Sun he believed Will was being treated
unfairly because Gareth was being promoted more.
