SO LONG, FAREWELL A so long to Queerty editor and Jossip Initiatives managing editor Andrew Belonsky, who's leaving us after two-plus years.
Clay Aiken finally admitted to People magazine that he's gay, confirming what the rest of the world has known for years. "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things," Clay says on the cover of the mag's latest issue, which features the American Idol alum with his tiny new baby.
Some of us are more excited about this development than others, as evidenced by Mollygood's editor Cord Jefferson, who jovially announced via Gchat: "clay aiken's out!!!! post IT POST IT"
Queerty has more details, complete with the glorious cover, here.

Last week Queerty editor Andrew Belonsky shared a child's rendering of his dead hamster, a piece of art that may be the most profound — and adorable! — illustration of death's mystifying effects. Luckily for us, there were more where that came from, and he graciously captured a few other drawings for public consumption. They're no "Hamster what?" but magic like that only comes along once in a lifetime.
Because everyone loves elementary art, the front window of Queerty editor Andrew Belonsky's neighborhood vet currently features some childrens’ renderings of their pets.
As you can see, one local child recently lost their hamster and, like so many people, has a hard time grappling the concept of death.
Our tux still had blood on it Friday evening, so we were unable to attend the gayest gala of the year: The Out 100. But our outed brother Queerty dove headfirst into the glittery hubbub, emerging with a gay joke from Mary-Louise Parker, interesting banter from Tim Gunn and a reportedly "25-pound gift bag." (Size queen!)
Despite the aging and the mustache that accompanies it, our drinking buddies at Queerty have rekindled their flame for Sean Connery, this after a semi-nude portrait of him was chosen to be featured in a major exhibition in Scotland. Above is a shirtless Connery, who was reportedly a bodybuilder at the time. And if this is what a bodybuilder looked like back then, we think today's turgid freaks have a lot to learn from their forefathers.

• After her VMA performance, Britney Spears reportedly lamented that she looked like "a fat pig." So, suicide watch, then? [Yeeeah]
