Tidbits 7/19

• Clay blogged on the OFC last night about "A Thousand Different Ways"
• Tower Records is also joining other record stores in listing a September 19 release date for ATDW.
  
• The Deadbolt: Fall American Idol releases ... "Although maybe it should be called American Idol season, as Clay Aiken's third album hits stores on September 19th, Ruben Studdard's smooth soul comes back for a third time on September 26th, and Fantasia Barrino's second album drops on October 17th. It's an American Idol world this fall."
• Yahoo Music has a similar article: "Clay Aiken's third album drops Sept. 19, Ruben Studdard's third effort is out Sept. 26 and Fantasia Barrino's second album hits shelves Oct. 17."
• Access Hollywood article about teen singer/actress Samantha Cole -- "Cole appeared on 30 episodes of MTV's "The Grind," and her first self-titled album came out in 1997, according to her MySpace page. The blonde songstress toured America with a Top 40 song called "Happy To You" which was re-recorded by none other than Clay Aiken!" (CDD's note: Bad journalism... the CBers have discovered that 'Happy To You' actually refers to Clay and Kimberley Locke's duet, 'Without You')
• Clay was mentioned on last night's episode of The Daily Buzz (a syndicated Infotainment show). Recap courtesy the CB's fancynails4:

  Clayton (how ironic) Morris was giving the run-down on 'She's The Man' with Amanda Bynes; and showing a clip. She plays a girl who disguises herself as her twin brother to get into his private school for a couple of weeks and then falls in love with his best friend. Hilarity ensues, I guess! The hair-do she is wearing is moptopped. Clayton said, 'She now looks like Clay Aiken'!!! Well, at least Clay IS being thought of! This was pretty mild as Clayton Morris is usually very snarky towards Clay!!!

• Idle-wandering has a mock CD cover for us. By the CH's Fountaindawg.
• Idle-wandering also has a little history on the long overdue soph. album, ATDW.
  
• Chexxxy -- Clay Aiken & Elvis Presley. "Critics booed him, haters trashed him, djs refused to play him, he ignored them and continued to sing his songs. He became so famous he only needed one name------------Elvis. 49 years later another young southern boy walked out on stage in California and started singing, week after week. He is becoming so famous that most people know him by one name------------Clay,"
• What I have on my iPod/Claypod -- ConCLAYve.
• Marhaven blogs about crafts... (not really Clay related)
• WebWeaver's blog about "A Thousand Different Ways" (soph. album)
• Wednesday's Child... we've been patient for almost 2 years now... only a few more months left!
