Over the weekend, Clay Aiken was a special guest at the David Foster and Friends show in Las Vegas (May 9, 2009).  He looked fantastic (did anyone find video of an actual performance?) and I hope he had a good time while he was there (it was at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino which I really love!). 

I was able to find this collection of pictures from the performance set to the Leona Lewis version “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.”  Enjoy, Claymates!

American Idol star, Clay Aiken, will be on this week’s episode of America’s Next Top Model.  I’m pretty excited because I think he will be helping judge the acting skills of the contestants.  I know it’s off-topic but do I have Top Model fans out there?  Come back here after the show and tell me what you thought!
The episode airs on Wednesday night and he recently divulged a couple things about the experience:

It was interesting to be on the judging side of a reality television program. 
He felt unqualified to comment on fashion since he wears “a UNICEF t-shirt and …read more

American Idol season two runner-up, Clay Aiken, attending the GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Awards for the first of, what I’m sure will be, many times.  He looked really dapper at the event wearing a pink shirt and suit (in the picture below with Tyra Banks, who was presented with the “Excellence in Media” award).

I also was able to scrounge up a couple videos of Clay arriving at the event.  They aren’t anything super amazing but I know my Claymates will appreciate it anyway!

Wow!  I was so surprised when Erin from over on Top Model Gossip sent me an  email to let me know that American Idol star, Clay Aiken, was going to be a guest on America’s Next Top Model.
My first question was about what he was going to be doing?  Quick answer – he’ll be a guest just on the episode airing on April 8, 2009. 
Do you guys watch Top Model?  Most of the men on the show are gay (which I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with) and the show is about fashion (which I sometimes have a problem with).  …read more

This is our second day in our week-long countdown to the start of American Idol season 8!!!  So, what do you remember about the second season of your favorite singing competition?
It was the season of Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken.  Even back during the competition, I just could not decide.  I loved them both so much for two entirely different reasons.  Ruben had a smooth style and teddy bear-like quality that made him so lovable during performances like “Music of My Heart” but then Clay brought so much skill and growth to songs like “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” 
I …read more

This year, Clay became a father for the first time when his best friend, Jaymes Foster, gave birth to little Parker. 
Next, Clay publicly announced that he is gay and has embraced the truth …read more

I’m reading reports all over the place that Clay Aiken is dating Broadway dancer, Reed Kelly.  There’s a picture of them together here.
Apparently, an "insider" spilled the beans and said: "Everybody knows Reed as Clay’s guy.  Clay met him when he was doing Spamalot in early 2008, and that’s one of the reasons he came back to the show again."
Wow.  Could Clay be getting cozy with the Wicked cast member?  I hope so.  This year has been full of life changes for Clay and I’m hoping 2009 will translate into a year of happiness for …read more

According to d-list comedienne, Kathy Griffin, there is a rift between her and American Idol star, Clay Aiken.  She claims that he became upset with her after she referred to him as "Gayken" during one of her stand-up comedy shows.  While they were both backstage at the doomed variety show, Rosie Live, Kathy made an attempt to smooth things over.  Here’s what she describes:
I held up one of those ghetto blasters playing one of Clay’s songs, and I begged him to take me back and he said no. And then I walked out of the room and Gloria Estefan …read more
