• NY Post PopWrap - Clay and Tyra give fan a huge surprise -

  Whether it's on "America's Next Top Model" or her daily chat fest, Tyra Banks is one of pop culture's guiltiest pleasures. So to satiate your sweet tooth this afternoon, I am bringing you two minutes and 39 seconds that could in fact save the world. Take note, Madonna.
  
  The clip in question comes from today's episode of "The Tyra Banks Show" which incidentally is her 500th! Congats T! Anyway, for the celebration Tyra is giving back to her fans and one of her lucky viewers got to meet her idol: Clay Aiken.
  
  The clip is beyond priceless when Clay goes from a wax sculpture to a real boy and scares the bejesus out of his numero uno. But things only get more hilarious when the trio heads backstage at Spamalot.
  

• American Idol mentions:
• TV Fodder -

  What did you think of the Top 5? Was the episode a little too fast for you? Did you miss the usual judges’ critiques in the first part of the show? And do you think voters are making up for past mistakes with Clay Aiken and Chris Daughtry by speed dialing for the two Davids?

• Detroit News -

  This year's "American Idol" is shaping up to be a contest between Davids Archuleta and Cook, which would be the first finale pitting two males against each other since the Ruben Studdard vs. Clay Aiken showdown from the show's second season.

• NeighborsGo - "David Archuleta has a backing not seen since Clay Aiken."
• Star Phoenix - upcoming CD releases -
