Tidbits 2/3
Check out this and more gorgeous wallpapers from the Clayboard's cindilu2. The above wallpaper feature photos taken by MixNJude at this week's GMA appearance.
- OnOurTV - petition started to bring back 60-year old Sherman Pore who was given the rare chance to audition on AI last week. Mr. Pore brought Paula Abdul to tears as he recounted the story about his wife's battle with cancer; Mr. Pore was with her every step of the way.
Sherman Pore was the gentleman in his 60s who sang in honor of his lady love, who died of cancer. This story has been receiving a lot of press, and someone has even started a petition to bring him back to sing at the finale. I’d certainly rather hear him than the Taylor Hicks “look alike” (like last year’s Clay Aiken “look alike”).
- Mrs. Giggles - putting a lid on tabloid lies... "Top ten stupid things to keep in mind" --
Just because you think Clay Aiken isn't gay, that doesn't mean he is necessarily straight, or vice versa. Unless you personally had had sex with Clay Aiken, you do not have concrete proof of his hetero- or homosexuality so everything is speculation.
We've got a wonderful selection of blogs today... read on...
- RECOMMENDED READING - The ConCLAYve - losing more credibility with each passing day. Celebrities declare war on tabloids. Go to YouTube to watch Tyra Bank's beautifully unscripted response to tabloid "speculation" that she is fat.
This past week, Tyra Banks discussed the hurtful pictures and comments that addressed the fact that she's not a waif thin runway model anymore. She is a beautiful woman with a beautiful body but for some reason, even though she's not asking anyone to buy anything from her because of the shape of her body, it's OK to call her names, draw infantile grafitti on her pictures (not to mention that the pictures themselves were taken while she was on her personal time). It's OK to say to young girls struggling with their weight that Tyra Banks is fat as they look at themselves and think “Tyra is much thinner than I am.”
Clay Aiken has been tabloid and especially blogger fodder for a long time. Most of it centers around the fact that they think he is a closeted gay man, despite the fact that he has said on countless occasions that he is straight. Of course, many stories about Clay say he has never addressed his sexuality which is blatently untrue. I guess it would take them too long to look up his Rolling Stone interview or others like it.
Clay's had photoshopped pictures made up of him as if he trolls gay websites looking for men. He's had fake AIM chats published, despite the fact that all AIM chats can be edited. Heck, you can set up two accounts and chat with yourself and make the two “people” say whatever script you want. He's had pictures manipulated, stories made up around pictures taken in innocuous moments but made to seem like “evidence”. He's had a group of people who find him so fascinating in their hate that they can't walk away but instead spend more time on his career than most fans by feeding these gossip sites ideas. It takes all types but typically consists of people who will lie for fame, money or because they are a few cards shy of a full deck. - Taking A Moment - too much Clay... too little time?
I know everyone has been so busy this week, what with all the assignments that Clay gave us, GMA just this past week, Kimmel coming up soon, and various other activities and appointments that tend to make our lives clayotic.
I know, for myself, I worked all day long yesterday on my ATD Valentine poem, and hardly had time to go to the bathroom or finish off a liter of vodka, much less think about my annoying loving yet demanding family.
