Clay Tells Access Hollywood: New Material Coming For Next Album

UPDATE: Videos are up, again thanks to the CB's extraordinary gerwhisp:

• ET
  

Clay revealed to Access Hollywood last night that he would like to make another album of entirely new material in the future. He didn't use the word "soon" and we're hoping that's a good thing! You can watch their entire interview with Clay on their website (select the video "ACCESS EXTENDED: Clay Aiken".

Speaking of infotainment shows, most of them including The Insider and Entertainment Tonight will do a follow-up to the entire "Kellygate scandal" tonight.

... and as if we aren't tired of this... already:

• The Insider asks - "Have tensions between KELLY RIPA and crooner CLAY AIKEN finally been resolved? Tonight, we have the latest on their high-profile misunderstanding!"
• Access Hollywood spoke with Regis last night and aired a piece on Clay appearing on Days of our Lives. You can read their online article here (there are also 2 videos you can watch!).
  

  No one could've guessed the firestorm that would have erupted following Clay Aiken's appearance on Regis and Kelly.
  
  It's amazing what one hand can do. But you can be sure that Clay would like to have that moment back. Especially when you consider that deep down, he'squite a country boy who doesn't always want the attention he gets.
  
  And as Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson found out when she caught up with Clay as he was taping his guest appearance on the set of "Days of Our Lives," sometimes he wishes it would all go away.
  
  "Would you trade everything that you have today for your anonymity?" Shaun asked Clay.
  
  "It depends on what day you ask me," Aiken admitted. "I'm kind of happy today. I like what I'm doing. But there are days when it gets very nerve-wrecking."
  
  Safe to say, the past week would qualify as one big long bad day for Clay after the controversy Kelly Ripa's caustic comment caused, which then led to Rosie O'Donnell inadvertently outing him referring to Ripa's actions as "homophobic."
  
  Ironically, a week before all the brouhaha started, Shaun spoke with an introspective Clay on the downfalls of fame as Clay was filming a cameo for the December 26 episode of "Days of Our Lives."
  
  "It's all kind of frightening and scary and there are days when I think 'Will anybody ever not know who I am?'" Clay revealed.
  
  Clay also admitted that soap operas have never really been his thing. So how did they convince him to do a "Days" cameo?
