Clay was mentioned on the E! channel last night, according to nekia at CV: "They were doing a segment on the top 10 makeovers in Hollywood. He was not in the top ten, but after finishing the top ten, they put his picture up and said he deserved a special mention. Something like he went from geek to refined."

Chexxy's Pearls has a heartfelt post about the events unfolding in Uganda, which Clay visited last year. "We come to the shelter because I fear being abducted again. I was eight years old then. I do not want my brothers and sisters to be abducted as I was. We walk fast in the night to be here." Late last year, Clay testified in front of Congress and pleaded for more funds for UNICEF.
