Clay Reports for The Insider - The Donald 'Wants' Clay

As we reported last week, Clay was out and about for The Insider (an infotainment show) at last night's Emmy awards. This program already aired in some parts of the country. Check local listings. Most TV stations show this program after their 6 o'clock news programs. Video is up at MOAM and ATCA and pax's Vivavoice site (you need to PM pax for the link).

ET also showed a brief clip of Clay on the red carpet and Scrub's lead-actor Zach Braff told ET "I love myself some Clay Aiken and I'm not ashamed.". You go Zach!

Summary from the CB:

The Insider is airing right now in NJ...and our man is EVERYWHERE! He was with Pat interviewing all the winners, and he even SANG! He sang "Thanks for the memories" to the lady from Everybody Loves Raymond, and the "Happy Days" theme with Pat O'Brien at the piano!!!

Clay met Donald Trump and The Donald said that he wants to book Clay for Mar'Lago in FL and asked for his business card!!!...Clay pointed to his publicist (Roger?) with long blonde hair and Donald said "i wanna book him right now!"

Lara was talking to Joan and Melissa and Pat commented how NICE Joan was this year about all the outfits and then said something like "will it take our newcomer Clay Aiken to be caddy about the clothing?" (i know that's not exactly what he said...but bear with me!"

They then showed Clay commenting about some up and coming screenwriter's dress saying "i'm not sure how much money was spent, because there was barely any fabric!"

He said the dress looked like it was made of dental floss!

OMG!
The show ends with him singing UP WHERE WE BELONG to Lara...with Pat playing the piano again!!!OMG OMG...this is TOO MUCH - can't wait to see it again!!!

Clay Aiken's Red Carpet Report!
It was a sizzling Sunday night at the Shrine Auditorium as TV's hottest stars walked the red carpet for the 57th Primetime Emmy Awards. 'Idol' CLAY AIKEN was on the scene with The Insider to get close with his favorite celebs -- well, as close as he could get.

"EVA LONGORIA was over there," said Clay. "I tried to get close to her. I ended up stepping on her dress which is the closest I'll get to touching her again, but hey, I'll remember that forever and ever."

Clay was undeniably starstruck, but he musn't forget, he's a celebrity himself! As CAMRYN MANHEIM exclaimed to him on the carpet: "You're the biggest rock star in the world! Did you hear those girls scream for you?!"

And TERI HATCHER said, "My daughter's like his biggest fan! We watched you ... we were there!"
