Clay News!

HA! You and me both!

He writes beautiful lyrics like "Lover All Alone" but says he is thinking about Hot Pockets while singing them He sure doesn't really want to let people in to really get to know him. He is a walking contradiction in my book. His Idol was Fred Rogers but he is making babies with a good friend and not getting married. Not exactly the way Fred did it

You know, I totally agree about the fans and the mothering. I can understand not blogging as often as was promised, but there certainly should be the other perks promised. The pix and videos like there were for the promo of ATDW. Nothing like that at the OFC for OMYH. No new pix for months and months. No interviews or behind the scenes video/pix of Spamalot. You know, just that extra stuff that the fan club was suppose to provide.

If he doesn't want to do ANY of those things that were incentives to join his fan club, then just don't have one. Don't take their $30 and do nothing that was promised for it. I'm sorry, it is an issue with me. No blogging - well fine (not really ) but no "nothing else"? Not fine.


(I still love him though )

Badger, what the heck is "CMSU" that is so often used at The Clack House? When I google CMSU I get "Central Missouri Sate University. Some how I do not think that that is what the CHers are talking about It has been driving me nuts!

I'm drawing a blank on it myself, firecracker. I'd probably need to see it in context.

Well, the context sure doesn't help me I can't figure out for the life of me what it is an acronym for I know it goes back to PROC days, but it is not in the PROC glossary

I think it's: Cracks my shit up!

Oh thank you Janice!!

How nice to see you again! It has been awhile!

Clay in Somalia. Nice picture. His hair is long and brown again.

That is a very interesting photo to look at. Thanks FC!

You're welcome Lau! I hope you read the article too. Very sad stuff. Clay is so brave and caring to go into these difficult situations to help the children of the world. I'm sure it all puts his troubles into perspective.

I agree with you, FC. Seeing situations like Clay is visiting on these UN trips must be quite a life changing experience. I applaud him for the work he is doing.

Brown hair again. Thank god, it looks much better. And if he wants to run around saving the world for the rest of his life, I will be very proud to have been one of the people who voted him that opportunity. Clay Aiken is one Idol who is taking a shot at becoming a Great Man.

I agree with every word Abrahammy! From the brown hair to the great man! I honestly believe making a difference in the world means more to him than his career. I think he views his career as giving him the opportunities to do what is really important to him. I think he ENJOYS singing and performing a lot. I think he LOVES the charity work!

Another good write up about "Pop Star and UNICEF Ambassador Clay Aiken"

Clay's Field Notes and some beautiful pix of him with the children of Somalia! Kids sure seem to love him! And he so loves kids! I simply adore a man that adores children!

Nice photos of Clay and the children. He looks like a natural with them.

Yes he is. I'm sure that helped a lot when he was teaching special needs kids.

Clay's single is #2 in Indonesian! He is right under The Pussycat Dolls (who the heck really likes their crappy songs anyway )

He needs to tour some of the Asian countries. He is so popular in several of them.

Clay's baby is born!

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20217863,00.html

Wow, seems like we just heard the news that she was pregnant. Congrats to the happy parents! He will be a great father.

Wow, that was fast. I guess she was deep into her pregnancy when the story broke. Congratulations to them!

And China has a big party to celebrate. With every firework in the entire world. Like, literally. I've heard there is an international shortage because China kept them all this year to get ready for the Olympics.

I think is is very cool that Clay has a baby with his dear pal. I bet the kid grows up to rule the world.

p.s. I started a dedicated Olympics thread in the TV and Movies section.

Fireworks indeed!

Congrats to Clay, Jaymes and little Parker Foster Aiken! Great name! Not as good as Apple - but still great! Oops, it's a boy - make that banana
