"It was the first decision I made as a father," Clay Aiken says about coming out as a gay man in the new issue of People. "I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that." Clay makes the revelation in the next edition of the magazine, which hits stands this Friday. He will be pictured with his newborn son, Parker, and talk about the importance of being truthful regarding his sexuality. "Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it's going to be a lot," he says regarding the reactions of his fans. Still, he says his fans "know that I've never intended to lie to anybody at all. ... But if they leave, I don't want them to leave hating me." The singer also reveals that he told him mom about four years ago, after an emotional parting with his brother who was shipping off to Iraq. "I started crying in the car," he says. "It was dark. I was sitting there, thinking to myself. I don't know why I started thinking about it ... I just started bawling. She made me pull over the car and it just came out." His mom "started crying. She was obviously somewhat stunned. But she was very supportive and very comforting." Even now, Clay admits, "She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she's come a long way." He is scheduled to appear in an already-taped interview about this headline-grabbing revelation with ABC News' Diane Sawyer, with promos beginning to run Wednesday morning, and the interview running on "Good Morning America" starting Thursday. Clay, who has long deflected questions about his sexuality, recently welcomed his infant son with his longtime female friend Jaymes Foster.

Ellen Degeneres Speaks Out Against Anti-gay Marriage Proposition

After her recent high-profile marriage to her longtime love Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres is blogging against a proposition looking to constitutionally ban same-sex marriages in California.   The talk-show host, always the comedienne, took a firm stance against Proposition 8 on her blog -- but not without a little humor. Here's some of what Ellen had to say: 'The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It's like if someone asked you, 'You don’t want dessert, right?' But you do want dessert so you say, 'Yes,' which really means you don't want dessert. And if you say, 'No,' which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don't. Either way, you don't get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8. So, in case I haven't made myself clear, I'm FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you're informed, spread the word. I'm begging you. I can't return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster." Other Hollywood heavyweights who have spoken out against the proposition include actor Brad Pitt and film icon Steven Spielberg, who each donated $100,000 to the "No on 8" campaign.

Travis Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein made a dramatic escape while engulfed in flames from the Learjet crash in South Carolina that critically injured both men and killed the four other people aboard the plane, a police officer who arrived on the scene tells People magazine. "[Travis and Adam] told me that they slid down the wing on the right side of the plane," Lt. Josh Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Department tells People. Shumpert was one of the first to arrive on the scene in Congaree, a town outside of Columbia, SC. "They said they were on fire," adds Shumpert, whose patrol car's dashboard camera caught video of the tragedy, "and that they tackled each other and put each other out." "When I got there they were on the side of the road," Shumpert tells the magazine. "They were pacing and in shock." "Travis was wearing some kind of shorts and no shirt," he said, adding that Goldstein was wearing shorts or boxers as well. Doctors for Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, say both are expected  to make a full recovery despite the second and third degree burns suffered in Friday night's horrific crash. Barker, a former drummer for the group Blink-182, is close friends with DJ AM. Investigators have said the Learjet crash may have been caused by a blown tire during takeoff. The coroner's office in South Carolina confirmed that the aircraft's pilot and co-pilot died from smoke inhalation while the two other passengers were killed by injuries resulting from the impact.
