Coming soon to Broadway: Clay Aiken in Sperm-a-Lot!

Jokes aside, the Season 2 American Idol runner-up is soon going to be a proud papa, according to TMZ.

The gossip site reports that that record producer Jaymes Foster is pregnant - via artificial insemination - with the 29-year-old pop/Broadway singer's child. Before mothering his child, Foster, a friend with whom Aiken lives when he's in L.A., produced several of Aiken's albums.

Foster, reportedly in her late 40s, is due in August, and although no official comment has been made by Aiken's rep, it's said the singer will take an active role in raising the child.

What do you make of all this? Is Foster just trying nab some talented DNA? - Adam Bryant
