Nice find from the CB's ClaysMyMidlifeCrisis - a photo of Clay with venue security during his Christmas tour stop in Wilke Barres last year. It just dawned on me how long his hair was back then ...

The "Clay Aiken fanclub" being referred to in the article is a group of fans who held their Pala pre-concert meet up at Tori Spelling's inn before Clay's concert at the Pala Casino Starlight on August 3 (see the invitation on the right):
- CBS Showbuzz - you don't have to win Idol to find success -
Constantine Maroulis finished sixth place on Season 4 of "American Idol." To some, that might not be the greatest showing, but former Idols are proving again and again that you don't have to win to be a star.
Chris Daughtry from Season 5 is enjoying immense success with his band, Jennifer Hudson from Season 3 won and Oscar for her role in "Dreamgirls" and Season 2's Clay Aiken is a household name. - "Idol: The Musical" is calling it quits. The show has officially closed in New York -

Tidbits 8/12
- ABC News - roundup of the late night comedy.. for Jay Leno's show:
The debate was here in Los Angeles and it centered on topics of interest to the gay community -- which I don't understand. Don't gay voters care about the same things as straight voters -- health care, the war in Iraq, what's the deal with Clay Aiken? These are the issues, these are the issues we want to know about.
- Playbill - "Idol: The Musical", "based on the fan worship of former "American Idol" contestant Clay Aiken and featuring direction by Daniel Tursi — officially opens at the 45th Street Theatre Aug. 12. Previews began July 5."
- Lincoln Journal Star - Raleigh rapper looking to be Raleigh's next Clay Aiken ...
Small World thought about why he’ll follow Clay Aiken as the next big thing from Raleigh and why North Carolina rappers haven’t made a dramatic dent in the hip-hop scene.
- Meadville Tribune - 2007 turning out to be a bad year for fair concerts ...
In 2005, the Crawford County Fair did hit two home runs.
Country music star Toby Keith actually had more than 10,000 seats sold — 10,248 as the fair board squeezed in the 248 extras on the race track.
However, only 3,100 turned out for adult contemporary singer Clay Aiken’s concert that year.
- ClayKat - a beautifully written, honest and candid post about that certain someone who "made false accusations [about Clay] in early 2006" and why he showed up at Clay's Cary show on Friday night ...
I just need to share my anger at some people who for some sick reason, get kicks out of goading Clay, in his very face, in his home-state... Clay's summer tour stopped in Cary, North Carolina last night, and as well as the huge crowd of Clay fans, there was a certain someone in the audience with bad intent, a person who has slandered Clay and made false accusations in early 2006. If that guy - who will remain nameless because I will not provide links nor an easy way to find his garbage - had a shread of decency in him, he would not have bought tickets to Clay's concert, for goodness' sake! He would have stayed far away. It just makes me sad to think how Clay must have felt last night, during the concert, knowing those nasty eyes were on him.
I am happy to learn, despite my and others' feelings about this man, that there were no incidents having to do with him, at the concert. However, the handshake line that Clay often does after his concerts, was cancelled for security reasons. Ah, let's see... what could those be? Could they have to do with the evil-doer? In my opinion - of course that's why the handshake line was cancelled! So thanks to that ill-intentioned guy, hundreds of peaceful, Clay-loving fans did not get to shake Clay's hands - and I bet that Clay himself was somewhat shaken by the situation.
