Clay Aiken To Delicately Explain To President Why Some Children Might Be Left Behind

Merely donning a set of Kevlar wings and having a teamster raise and lower you by rope-and-pulley may not be enough to fully cement your status as Earthbound Angel, but gifted sonbgird and frequent online romance seeker Clay Aiken will soon be able to fully lay claim to the title:

More Male Prostitution: Clay Aiken Engaging In Wholesome Gay Sex?

Blogger PageSixSixSix continues to put more effort into analyzing the sexuality of American Idol runner-up and child-hater Clay Aiken—there's something to be said for the tenacity of the Internet Gays, no? After suggesting that Clay Aiken had sex with male prostitute Mario Cruz (at right, link NSFW), Crazy McBlogger went so far as to hunt down Cruz's phone number and give him a call. Predictably, Cruz had no comment. Is this a case of "No means yes," or is Cruz just working his 15 minutes? You can, of course, call Cruz and ask him yourself; now that his number is listed online, we're sure the Claymates are suiting up for battle. Lawsuits TK! More »

Clay Aiken Fans Speak Out

Hell hath no fury like a Clay Aiken fan scorned or forced to look at a pin-up of Ruben Studdard. The hate mail continues to pour in from the allegations posted here that Aiken acted like the Great Santini of choir leaders to a bunch of school kids. One determined reader has written us three times. Each time the font got bigger, redder, and crazier. You really have to appreciate this kind of devotion from a fanbase. Or get very, very, very far away from them. More »

Clay Aiken In Overly-Clichd Relationship?

Gosh, we sure do love American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken and his army of irate and defensive fans Claymates. While we appreciate their suggestions that, instead of hating on Aiken, we "accept Jesus" into our hearts, we're not sure divine intervention would prevent us from covering newsworthy Aiken updates such as this tidbit regarding one John Dahlstrom, from email newsletter Gossiplist: More »

Susan Barry: Clay Aiken's Archenemy Is Our BFF

Allow us to take a moment to reflect on how much we absolutely and genuinely adore Susan Barry, the woman who sent us the renowned email exposing American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken as a selfish douchebag. Susan is out of the anonymity closet because she's been unfairly suspended (with pay, thankfully) by her school district for sending the much-lauded missive. While we're happy that Susan essentially has scored herself a paid vacation for emailing Gawker about the AikenBot, we have to say it's a wee bit outrageous that an educator is removed from her classroom for exercising critical thinking skills (albeit with an F-bomb dropped here and there). Since when was honesty a punishable offense? More »

Following Up: Clay Aiken Still Hates The Little Children

We hate to say we told you so, but the virulent influx of hatemails from belligerent Clay Aiken fans is forcing us to do exactly that. On Monday, we ran an email from a NJ teacher claiming that Clay Aiken and his people treated students and staff from a local school choir like little slave-monkeys and then threatened to "make trouble" if any of the present parties talked to the press. The Philadelphia Inquirer has done some follow-up work—like, real journalism!—and confirms the story's veracity. And yes, we're sure Clay was very nice in every other city he went to, but he certainly behaved like a twat in Jersey. Fin. More »
