In case you missed it earlier this week, there are some awesome new photos from last month's Jimmy Kimmel mini-concert at 1iota.com.

Meghan's Quote of The Day
"When it comes to getting through life, laughing at it sure beats crying."

-Clay Aiken

• Tongue firmly in cheek mention of Clay in USA Weekend:

  The "Don't-Blame-Me-I-Voted-For-Katharine-McPhee" Voter Reward Act. Because more people are voting for their favorite crooners on "American Idol" than for their own congressperson, it's time for democracy to ride the coattails of prime-time entertainment. (Undoubtedly, this is just how our forefathers envisioned it.) This act proposes that Nov. 7 will be the only day to vote for the winner of "American Idol" and that all votes must be registered at your local polling booth. Bonus feature: After making your selection, the screen will allow you to choose a background vocal track, and you will have three minutes to record an audition tape. Voters should be clearly advised, however, that all ballots with the write-in "Clay Aiken for president" will be voided.

• YouTube Homeless Animal Montage - Clay's song, "Lonely No More" is the musical background to this montage, by Shanna1010. It is a heartbreaker, especially if you are an animal lover, and the words fit perfectly with these sweet homeless cats and dogs.
• YouTube Josh Grobin Interview - Josh Grobin has a Clay mention. When asked who would win in a cage fight, Josh grinned and said that he has been working out, so Clay has his work cut out for him! (Note: This interview is 3 years old. Josh is now 25 and was 22 when it was made.)
• Toronto Star- plain weird mention - "A date with Paula Abdul fails to attract bids on eBay Ryan Seacrest is still holding out for that spa day with Clay Aiken."
• Boston Globe- don't you just love these stupid, pointless Clay mentions? I'm not going to read through it all to put it into context for you, but read the entire article if you must.
  

• ClayKat- congratulations to ClayKat's blog on their 1st birthday.
