Don't like the way Clay Aiken sings? Well, you're a heathen with taste up your poopshoot! How about at least hearing the American Idol runner-up talk? Here he is in a brief "webisode" interview on broadwayworld.com whereby he says Spamalot—the Broadway campfest he's currently in—isn't about the music or the plot, it's about irreverent humor, and he also talks about the making of his new CD, which hopefully ISN'T about irreverent humor. Two points of interest: The webisode starts with an ad for Aiken's CD! That's the totally uncomplicated state of web journalism in 2008! And though I used to say Clay looks like kd lang, all I can think of now is that he SOUNDS exactly like local drag star Lady Bunny!
The hardest thing he's ever done, eh? Poor child, I'm sure he's done some other hard ones, too. Lord knows I have!

What's with those cheek implants? He looks like some weird banyard animal.

"all I can think of now is that he SOUNDS exactly like local drag star Lady Bunny!" - Hey Michael, what did Lady Bunny ever do to you anyway?

Ah, I see Mr. Musto is still as clever as always.

Clay Aiken? Honestly, Michael -- who gives a shit? Stop writing about him. He's just a sweet little gay boy with thousands of perfectly lovely people who adore him for talents that this tired, bitter bitch can't see. But don't ask me about pop stars, I find them all pretty dreary. Except Britney. She's so refreshingly white trash. I would have fucked Kevin Federline too. But Clay Aiken? Never, never, never. He reminds me of a gay Annette Funicello.

Good lord...I look forward to day that Aiken just goes "fuck it" and decides to just come out. Oh joyous day.

Personally we think Clay could really help Kitty Hiccup's show at the Ritz on Sunday nights. That's a solid career move. You know they are both from the same locale in North Carolina..... and the same age.....
hmmmmm. At at least Kitty is a top.

I thought I saw him at Barrage last Friday night, but it could've been a Claymate. I did see Jimmy Fallon that night, 'though, he looks great, marriage agrees with him!
