Clay Aiken's friends are sending him support and good wishes after hearing news that he's going to be a father with music producer Jaymes Foster.
"Congratulations, Clay!" says American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson. "I think he will be a good parent."
Actor Eric Roberts and wife Eliza says their close friend Foster – the sister of music producer David Foster – pulled them aside at her 50th birthday party in Los Angeles in March to tell of her pregnancy with a friend, whom they later learned was the 29-year-old Aiken.

LISTEN TO THIS: Jennifer Hudson's Sex and the City Song
Originally posted 05/14/2008 04:20PM
Jennifer Hudson is not only appearing in the Sex and the City movie – but the Dreamgirls Oscar-winner is lending her vocals to the film's soundtrack, as well. People.com has the official first listen of Hudson's song "All Dressed in Love," available May 27.
Listen to it here:
The energetic track showcases the former American Idol contestant's powerful voice over horns, piano and string arrangements, which contribute to its disco-era feel. The song was written by MC Jack Splash and Gnarls Barkley's Cee-Lo Green.
The Sex and the City: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack also features a song by Fergie, who contributes the re-imagined theme song, and India.Arie, who covers Don Henley's "Heart of the Matter," which is streaming on the official SATC Web site.

Stars' Stripped-Down Pics Go Up for Auction
Originally posted 05/08/2008 09:55AM
Move over, Miley Cyrus. Stars like Jennifer Hudson, Mariska Hargitay and Angie Harmon all stripped down for Allure's annual portfolio of naked stars. And Editor in Chief Linda Wells is dishing the dirt on the birthday-suit shoots.
"Stars do get surprisingly rattled," she told PEOPLE Wednesday night, during the magazine's Most Alluring Bodies silent auction in New York City. And even though they didn't all appear in Allure, nude portraits of Angelina Jolie, Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss and Scarlett Johansson were donated by photographers to benefit Skin Cancer Research.
"We've had some of the most gorgeous people with the most gorgeous bodies really have a moment of crisis when they have to drop the robe," said Wells.
So have there been any major surprises during the nude photoshoots? "Some people haven't discovered the bikini wax," she said. "That was a shock. And that is a very expensive bikini wax when you're [forced to fake it] with a lot of retouching."

Jennifer Hudson: Dreaming of a Grammy Award
Originally posted 01/01/2008 03:15PM
With an Oscar and a Golden Globe trophy already on her shelf, Jennifer Hudson is aiming for the Triple Crown of awards: a Grammy in 2008.
"I used to watch the Grammys and dream of winning one," she told PEOPLE at a New Year's Eve event headlined by the Dreamgirls star in Miami. "Maybe that can be next on my list."
Guests at the Setai paid up to $60,000 per table to dine on Peking duck salad and roasted tenderloin by the poolside. Actor Dylan McDermott posed for pictures with guests before taking the stage to introduce Hudson as "one of the most talented people on the planet."
Wearing a bright red Donna Karan sleeveless dress and more than $150,000 in jewelry specially designed by Rosalina Lydster, Hudson, 26, received an enthusiastic welcome from the crowd as she sang hits from Dreamgirls as well as "Happy Place," a song from her upcoming album.
