Do You Really Want To Know What Your Man Thinks About The New Baby?

A new genre of confessional literature has men opening up about what they really thought when they became a father. The dads know they’re supposed to be overcome with joy after the birth of a child, but many felt demoralized, depressed, or just plain bored.

The biggest entertainment news to break this week is Clay Aiken’s revelation that he is indeed gay. This news really wasn’t surprising to me because my gaydar started beeping the second I first laid eyes on the former “American Idol” contestant.

I hope they still remain supportive because it would be really messed up if they shun him for his sexuality. Keep reading »
