Tidbits 12/19

MSNBC readers caption this photo. Here's what they came up with:

1. Clay Aiken attempts to get on with the American Music Awards, but Tori Spelling insists on telling another story about life on "90210."
2. Aiken was set to tell America what he really thinks about Kelly Ripa's "germaphobia," but luckily Spelling was there to stop him.
3. Ever famous for her discretion, Spelling shows Aiken that this isn't the time or the place for deeply personal revelations, no matter how obvious they may seem.

• simonncharge has some beautiful Red Banks concert photos on her Photobucket gallery. You'll want to check this one out.
  
• Clay's ATDW is shown briefly in a new Wal-Mart Holiday commercial, now airing nationwide, according to the CB's missmusic07:

  I was watching TV today and saw this new WalMart commercial where a guy forgot to get gifts for people so he distracts the other guests and rushes to WalMart. He grabs like, 3 CDs, (one of them being Clay's new AIW!!) then rushes back just in time to hand the gifts out.



• Crunch Gear (technology blog) - what you can do with your new MP3 boombox: "[listen to] your favorite tunes and lyrics on the display (a Clay Aiken song for Blake I’m sure)"
• Roanoke Times - radio DJs need to get a grip of reality, writes one reader:

  I am concerned that some of our local radio stations are having a negative effect on our children.
  
  Even worse than the lyrics to some of the songs, disc jockeys take every opportunity to make fun of everyone -- not once but over and over.
  
  Just recently, Clay Aiken, a multi-platinum singer, was made fun of because he was unable to reach and hold out the note of his final song of the night.
  
  There was no mention that the previous songs in his show had shown off his tremendous vocal ability.
  
  My student told me that Aiken's effort to reach this note was played over and over while the disc jockeys laughed.
  
  They are teaching our kids that trying means nothing and that you should make fun of people whenever they don't succeed. Is this the kind of society we want?
  
  I'll just turn off the radio and listen to my Aiken CDs.
