Tidbits 6/7

• Unofficial Google blog: nice Clay mention in blog about Google's upcoming Spreadsheet service "Allow Google Spreadsheet to interface with sites such as TVGuide and HBO to pull online media data such as the Buzz over who watched The Sopranos" and calculate the online audience reach of, say, American Idol 5 which I highlighted in blog posts such as Clay Aiken scores new fans on American Idol Finale."
• American Idol/Sony BMG PR: Katharine McPhee signs with Sony BMG. Press release.
• Daily Nonpareil: Iowa para educator, Sarah Porter, will sing at College World Series. Notes that fact that "this will not be Sarah's first performance in front of a large audience. In November, she and 11 other performers were selected to sing on stage with Clay Aiken at the Mid-America Center."
• Press Connects: Silly, but cute article about the 'hazards' of moving "upwards"... "If you get into an accident en route, any number of objects, from an iron to a houseplant to a Clay Aiken CD, are ready to take out your head."
• Deadspin: Not sure what this article is referring to... talks about human growth hormone and "what it has done to Clay Aiken." I'm going to take it as a compliment to Clay's height.
• Carolina Newswire: Clay's Anoroc agency (maintains BAF website) receives honour from Seedlings Baby Food.
• Antimusic: Clay's former name (Clayton Holmes Grissom)equals '666' using the Greek Gematria system.
• Dianne Austin's second article (see yesterday's Tidbits for her first one) about her trip back to Raleigh.
• MetroWeekly interviews Kimberley Locke... "She then laughs hysterically for several seconds, her friendly and self-deprecating nature coming through just as it did when she was the second-runner-up to Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard on season two of American Idol."
• Manilla Bulletin- Idol article. Mentions Clay's superstar status.
• The Independent: mentions NC's domination of the American Idol top 12s... "Raleigh's Clay Aiken finished second three years ago"
• ClayBlogs.com: here's an interesting site that attempts to organize all the Clay blogs out there, including CDD, onto one page. Great idea... the execution isn't perfect(Some posts, like our Tidbits posts, get all squished together), but a it's site you'll want to bookmark!
• Clay retains his reign on top of HOB.com's most searched for list.
