Hey, all you Clay Aiken fans!

[babylonsister]

He's going to take a break, hates the attention, from just about now until or through next year. :thumbsup:
And he announced it on Larry King! :bounce: :bounce:

Obligatory sorry if this has been posted before.

7. i'm going to see her on Dec. 5th, i'll report back any Aiken news if she

11. I saw an article about her this morning

For all the jokes she does about him, she has consistently said that he's one of the few stars she targets who has a sense of humor and gets what she's doing. She's been banned from many talk shows because a lot of the people she makes fun of refuse to have anything to do with her. and Ryan Seacrest had her fired from E! when he joined them.

6. I couldn't even finish his new CD when I heard it

There are some good songs and others that worked as A/C, but Clay makes everything charmless. And I'm not a pop basher! I watch AI and bought and enjoyed the Cheyenne Kimball CD. And like a good deal of pop and pop/rock.

9. Poor Clay. I kinda feel sorry for him.

10. I saw the show and you're mistaken

What he said was that after the craziness following IDOL, he kind of stepped back in 2005 -- he did a couple of tours but nothing major -- and concentrated on other thiings like his work for UNICEF and his foundation. Basically, he's now coming off that break as he has a new CD to promote.

Interesting that both he and Bo Bice -- who finished 2nd in his season -- both have younger brothers in Iraq.
