• Canada.com: Clay's New album delayed... (mentions gay allegations)
• Caroll News Online: The internet opens new doors, "Why would I possibly crack my stats book when I could peruse extensive scholarship on the Ebola virus, slap bracelets and Clay Aiken?"
• Canoe.ca: Neil Sedeka article... mentions Clay's rendition of Solitaire.
• FoxesOnIdol: A trip down Idol memory lane.
• WebMetricsGuru: "It's like trying to redo Elvis, people try all the time but can anyone sing Elvis better than Elvis? Maybe Clay Aiken (well, he does sound good, but he's not really singing Elvis, he's stays himself)."
• Several CB members say they have received a survey from UNICEF asking them about Clay's work with UNICEF's 2005 Trick-or-Treat campaign.
• Clay was mentioned in Diana DeGarmo's mom's blog today.
  
• ClayAiken.com forums has a poll suspiciously similar to our weekly poll. It asks: "Well, we got some cd news finally and the fanbase seems to have mixed feelings about it. Do you like the idea of covers being on the cd?"
  
• The CB's WNYClayFan says there was a Claymate with a creative Clay sign present during this morning's NBC's Today Show:

  Woohoo....there was a lime green neon sign in the audience that read "Patiently waiting for Clay Aiken's CD"!!! It was on just after 8:30 am eastern - you could see it while Katie was talking to some fans with curlers in their hair!!

• P S Bonnie at the Clayboard informs us that UNICEF is sending out email requests to participate in a survey and it asks a few questions about Clay and his role in Trick or Treat for UNICEF. I had deleted the survey they sent me, but was able to pull it up and take the survey. So double check anything you get from UNICEF via email so you can give positive feedback for Clay!
