Giants fans weren't the only ones willing to freeze their butts off to cheer for their idols.
On Sunday night, when the temperature was a bone-rattling 19 degrees, Clay Aiken aficionados clamored outside the Shubert Theatre to get up close and personal with the new star of "Monty Python's Spamalot."
Alyssa Benedetto, 19, a student at the University of Delaware who lives on Long Island, was among an estimated crowd of 100 people.
Benedetto had seen the Sunday matinee of "Spamalot," but missed seeing Aiken afterward and was determined to get her picture snapped alongside the pop singer. She arrived at the stage door 20 minutes before the final curtain Sunday night. "I thought Clay was great," she said between shivers. "His English accent was really good."
Rachel Plummer and Erika Brown, graduate students in their mid-20s, agreed with her. The two friends had flown in from Detroit and Chicago to see Aiken play Sir Robin in the musical spoof. The airline tickets cost them about $150 apiece, but both said the experience was worth every penny. "I don't know why," Brown said, "I just love Clay."
TV Grapevine hands out some advice to Idol wannabes-
Listen to the American Idol judges comments because they can help you down the line. Many times, they will advance people but give you some things to work on. Look at Clay Aiken. Simon said he had a good voice but the look. When Clay came to Hollywood, he had taken the advice to heart and ended up second. While not a winner, he did win the hearts of the Claymates!
Broadway World - The Apprentice to feature Spamalot on this week's episode, airing Thursday on NBC -
On tomorrow night's episode of "The Apprentice: Celebrity Edition" the two teams compete to sell tickets to some of Broadway's hottest shows, including Monty Python's Spamalot. Piers Morgan will be wearing a King Arthur costume and there are rumors of an argument with Stephen Baldwin.
Tony Award winning Best Musical Monty Python's Spamalot plays at Broadway's Shubert Theatre; Clay Aiken joined the company last weekend, making his Broadway debut in the role of Sir Robin.

American Idol: To steal a line from one of my favorite VH1 time-killers, is South Carolina having the best week ever? Presidential primaries from both sides -- and tonight's Idol audition episode, from Charleston. But Clay Aiken still belongs to North Carolina. 7 p.m., KDFW/Channel 4
The Monitor - it is truly sad when an article must be written about a TV glitch that cut off "American Idol" for a few minutes on one FOX affiliate last night -
The local Fox television affiliate experienced technical difficulties for a few minutes Tuesday night during the popular American Idol program.
A spokeswoman for XHRIO said the station briefly lost power during the 7 p.m. broadcast, causing the show to be disrupted for a few minutes.
American Idol has helped to launch such musical stars as Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken and Rueben Studdard. Its panel of sometimes scathing judges includes Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and former musical sensation Paula Abdul.
Orlando Sentinel - complaining about Hard Rock Orlando and how they treated Clay:
Second, Hard Rock Live. I covered the Clay Aiken concert for the Sentinel on Sunday night. I didn't mention this in the review, but it was quite distracting when the Hard Rock started breaking down the bar during one of Aiken's quieter numbers, a song he wrote himself. My seatmates and I were turning around in our seats to see what the ruckus was. Poor Clay's on stage pouring out his heart about being alone without love, and all I can hear is the dishwasher starting and ice being dumped!
At 6 feet 3 inches, Ryan's a tall, dapper man who looks 10 years younger than his 29 years. With blue eyes, baby-smooth skin and Clay Aiken hair -- his term -- he's quite the looker.
But some of the most gut-busting are those that the redhead delivers (in her packed performances or in the show’s interspersed booth commentary), about more popular celebrities like Tyra Banks, Sharon Stone, Clay Aiken and Whitney Houston, among a gaggle of others.
Knox News ... uh... not sure what to make of this; but Donald Trump shouldn't be uttered in the same breath as Clay Aiken, if you ask me:
Mind you, I have absolutely *zero* interest in just about any version of "The Apprentice," but I am intrigued by the idea of the upcoming celebrity version, coming in early 2008. New York tabs are reporting that The Donald is trying to nab Paris Hilton and Britney Spears -- which would get me to watch in a heartbreat.
Here's who I'd like to see:
Ann B. Davis ("The Brady Bunch"), Lucas Grabeel ("High School Musical"), Kathy Griffin, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Steve-O, Masi Oki, P Diddy, Clay Aiken, Peyton Manning and Dakota Fanning.
After the backlash of season six, the question now seems to be whether or not the show will be outlived by the stars- Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, and hopefully Jordin Sparks- it created.
Buddy TV - "So You Think You Can Dance" winners face "uncertain future" -
American Idol breeds stars, So You Think You Can Dance does not. The reason is simple: pop singers are viable commodities, dancers are not. Idol has given us Kelly Clarkson, Katharine McPhee, Clay Aiken and Carrie Underwood. No So You Think You Can Dance winner will ever sniff the success of any of those singers. Is this the way is should be? Could it be different? Can FOX do anything about it?
Taking A Moment ... Jemock, being her usual comedic self: "Oh NOES!! The Tour is OVER?!?!? What the..?!!?!?"
