TMZ reports that during  recent trip to Bear Mountain in upstate New York Eric saved a puppy who fell through thin ice while chasing a flock of geese. Apparently when Eric saw the puppy, named Sugar Ray, struggling in the water he immediately went into hero mode,  stripping down to his birthday suit and diving into the freezing water.

Both Sugar Ray and Eric are reported to be fine, although there’s no word on the shrinkage they may be suffering as a result of the event.

Clay Aiken is Makin’ Babies

According to TMZ.com , American Idol alumnus Clay Aiken has made a baby, but not in the old-fashioned, fun way.

The website reports that Clay has artificially inseminated his 50-year old BFF, record producer Jaymes Foster. She is the sister of record mogul David Foster. Apparently the two are so tight that he stays at her house when he is in L.A. But clearly not tight enough for a little chika-womp-womp.

The little bundle of Clay is due to make it’s appearance some time in August. And word is that Clay intends to have an active role in raising the baby.
