The Aiken In Between
Attention, Claymates! Wearing a Burberry bucket hat and a UConn hoodie sweatshirt, Clay Aiken leaves LAX airport on Morning evening with a copy of Rory Stewart’s “The Places In Between” in hand. The paperback is Stewart’s travel writing from his trek through Afghanistan a few months after the Taliban were deposed.

Huh? That doesn’t look like him…
ha sadly the only things i like in this photo are the UCONN sweatshirt (due to the fact i live in CT) and that lady’s purse but that’s it..
At least he’s covering his hair?
who’s that girl with him?
God his face is fat now. Is he on some kind of steroids or other meds? Creepy looking jerk.
Bwahahah, you people are a hoot! Do you hang around places so you can bash Clay Aiken?
He’s looking more butch.
Absolutely not Clay Aiken. Check your facts first.
And just WHAT would those “facts” be?
Of course it’s Clay Aiken.
Sheesh, the haters get here before the fans. Guess they don’t have lives, either. Bwahaha!
That’s Rick Schroeder.
Yep, That’s him. He looks great! He’s a cutie!
The girl is his cousin, Jamie. She is also his hairstylist, I think.
Geesh, now I see the ring on his right hand. Maybe it is him. Sure doesn’t look like him!
How does it not look like him? It looks exactly like him.
That’s Gayiken? Nope,s orry. This guy’s bigger and MUCH butcher.
OMG! Clay had a haircut or he’s hiding it all under the hat. I can’t wait for tomorrow night when he goes on Jimmy Kimmel. I freaking LOVE CLAY AIKEN!
He looks bigger because his arms are out slightly from his boddy because of his bunched up sweatshirt sleeves and backpack straps. It’s just his posture and the closeness of the picture. I can assure you that’s Clay Aiken.
Kelly Clarkson’t fans are such hateful *******. Go away and go talk about how fat and ugly Kelly is and stop saying such mean things about Clay. OK we get it, you’re jealous of how popular Clay is, now get over it.
Beefed up Clay on his way to kick slimey pond scum’s ass. You can run PH but you can’t hide.
Looks like all the jealous people are out in force today…He’s a milionaire and the little people are so envious of his popularity…so sad but get over it!!!
Looks more like Lance Bass with that fat face
Some people just don’t seem to realize Clay is a pretty big guy, he stands 6′1. He is not the little geek that stood next to 6′4 huge Ruben Studdard, Ruben would make anybody look small.
That IS Clay Aiken, he has gained a little weight he looks GREAT! WOW!
Someone got chunky ba-funky.
Love him. I don’t care what Perez says about him. He is a very talented young man. Do you really care whether he is straight or gay? I mean really. How does that affect the haters personally?
I’ve seen him in concert a few times and he is the real deal!
Clearly not Clay…..hey look everyone, somebody wrote “gullible” in blood on the ceiling
Nah. This guy is “buff” to a certain degree, as opposed to Clay being simply fat with a double chin. Sorry.
That’s Clay for sure. I can tell by his rings, the backpack straps and the bucket hat. He looks great!
I would rather have my nuts tightened in a vice than have to endure “multiple” clay aiken shows….you must have skin like leather
I think it’s him, but isn’t he getting a bit old and laden with scandal to wear those college sweatshirts? It just doesn’t seem right. I hope he takes a UNICEF trip to Afghanistan and gets his life back on track.
Could it be that he is trying to reshape his body so that the webcam pix look less like him?
Looks like the haters have nothing better to do with their time. Its definitely Clay! And he looks great! Yes he has “beefed” up a lot and looks absolutely wonderful! He has also matured….I see most of you have not. Can’t wait till KIMMEL!!! He is my Valentine and I can’t wait!!!!
It looks like Rick Schroder to me.
Gosh, that’s Clay aiken?
He looks…..good.
Heeee Ryan …. be careful what you wish for …… Bwahahaha
Holy Cow!! THAT is Clay Aiken? Nerdy Geek Clay Aiken!? Niiice. (did I just say that?)
Look at his big fat stomach sticking out! He’s out and proud!
He looks like boo.
Just haters drinking the cool aid again. Sad.
I can’t wait to see Clay On Kimmel. Looks to me like he has cut his hair, either that or he has it pulled back in a pony tail.
He’s my Valentine too.
Just what makes a person “too old” to wear a college sweatshirt? I’ll be sure to tell my husband he can no longer wear his Ohio State hoodie and I, too, will retire my Notre Dame one!
GEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And just what “scandal” is he in that makes it a freaking crime to wear a freaking college sweatshirt!?
Perfect example of why I use a coffee cup daily that says “I see dumb people”…..
I gotta admit, Clay is lookin good.
Any Clay fan knows that it is him. I also recognize the pretty gal.
Anyone that has seen Clay recently knows he is not fat. During AI, he weighed about 145 which is quite thin at 6 ft. 1. So he puts on a few pounds, matures and grows into his looks quite nicely. Most of you Clay haters hiding behind a number of screen names wish you looked so good. But then, that’s the crux of the matter isn’t it. He’s young, handsome, has model looks and is wealthy and you are sooooo
jealous you can’t stand it.
Still boggles my mind that people who dislike him so immensely spend all their waking hours finding any discussion thread about him. And they say the Clay fans are obsessed. These people are obsessed in a “sick” way. Grow up.
How funny is it that the hater don’t think it is Clay because this guy is buff and manly. Ha on them. This IS Clay and you haters are just mad that he looks so good.
Definitely Clay. Definitely HAWT!!!!!!!!!!
Jesse, you’re an *******. Why do you have to drag Kelly into this thread, it’s about Clay you moron.
ALL YOU CLAY HATERS ARE ACTUALLY CLAY LOVERS AREN’T YOU? WHY ELSE WOULD YOU BE SO OBCESSED WITH HIM. COME ON, ADMIT IT. WE WON’T TELL.
HE IS LOOKING HAWT ISN’T HE?
This is both sick and funny. Yes it’s Clay. Yes, he’s on Paxil, as he told Diane Sawyer a few months ago. Yes, it causes some weight gain. But as also mentioned, he was quite thin back in the day and has now grown up and filled out. The hair looks like it’s down the back of his hoodie. Frankly, he has more charm and class than a truckload of these ‘haters’ and it will carry him long after they have been sucked into their own swamp.
becuz cubbie the kelly biotches are nothing but a bunch of haters that won’t leave Clay and his fans alone. Go away!!
What is the world coming to? I actually think Clay Gayken is hawt.
Scandal schmandal. Any tabloid rag can print a ridiculous story and label it a “scandal.” Yawn
So, Del, if it’s confirmed that the pic really is Clay, I guess you’re admitting you think he’s “‘buff’ to a certain degree,” right?
And if it’s not Clay, it’s someone who looks a lot like him, wearing the same clothes, hat, and rings he’s very often seen in.
Hubba! Hubba!
I think I like it.
I have to say that it is VERY fascinating watching all the weirdoes who call Clay fans obsessed lurking at every possible opportunity to slam him. It’s very humorous watching some of you going from blog to blog and board to board just so you can post nasty things about him.
It IS true, he IS a fascinating fellow and you all prove it constantly. Don’t you have someone you LIKE enough to take the time to post about? Hmmm, guess not. :)
When I first looked at that picture I thought it was Michael Rosenbaum from Smallville. JJ you should have used this picture for a guess who? I would never have gotten it.
Clay looks hot! ^_^
I like that he’s filled out a little…..love those broad shoulders. Pretty girl too!
Bwahhhhhh—haters, how original or NOT!
Wow, that’s Clay Aiken? He’s really growing into a fine looking mature man. Wow, never knew he was so hot! I like what I see! I’ve heard medications such as Paxil do make you gain weight. Seems to look good on him though. So, he’s going to be on the Jimmy Kimmel show? I’ll have to tune in!
Yes, it’s Clay with his cousin/hairdresser. It’s also freakin’ hilarious how the haters are so obsessed with him that they spend all their time going from blog to blog posting about Clay. Not even smart enough to try to hide it. You may have numerous url’s, but the same trolls pop up over and over. Get a life or a job or another idol to obsess over. He has called your bluff with his tabloid contest, losers! You have lied so much that you don’t remember the truth.
Give it up already. I am sick to death of all of you the “fans” and the “haters”. Your constant berating of each other on blogs is getting reeeeeeeeeeeeally old! It seems to me you all need to grow up!
If you like Clay fine, quit sticking him down people’s throats. If you hate him, fine! Just leave each other alone for once. At least those who hate him are finally getting equal time though. You fans have so over done it where Clay is concerned for so long it is about time you had some competition but geez it gets old seeing the same tired comments to each other back and forth everywhere! Maybe it is time to cancel the google alerts.
If that’s Clay Aiken I want him tested for roids. No pencil **** like that puts on 45 pounds in just a few months without the juice or 500 Bic Macs
You do realize your doing the exact same thing your annoyed about by posting about it in here…just a thought. Clays fans want to enjoy Clay, and haters use every thread they can find to put him down..even the yahoo questions thread, which was NOT about the hate, it was about what we can do to help the children, those who posted hateful things in there should be ashamed.
anyways, looks just like handsome Clay to me….never thought it wasnt…LOVE the freckles:)
He looks hot and hunky!! I will have to watch for him on Kimmel too. Is it tonight? Clay has grown into a big handsome man. He doesn’t look like a kid like he did on American Idol any more.
Thats not clay…your all messed in the head
That Michael Rosenbaum from Smallville.
so funny watching people argue. it’s obviously clay. i think his fans know what he looks like, they look at pictures of him all day long for the last 3 years. people change and their faces, gain weight, work out, age, yes?
look! a pop star reading an actual book! and one that doesn’t look like it’s light reading. a book about Afganistan? cool. I love a thinking man. wooHoo Clay.
Wow! The skinny geek has turned into one buff HOT guy? Who’d have figured? But it definitely is Clay Aiken —– believe it or not.
so not michael rosenbaum, what the hell? he’s jewish, dumbasses, hahahaha. don’t see any jewish nose structure on Clay.
Well, if you.are.so.sick of all. of.the. fans. why do YOU keep showing up? No one is “sticking him down your throat” …….. you just keep showing up. If you hate it all sooooo much why did you come to post comments in something which is clearly about Clay Aiken? DUH! You can’t stay away and yet accuse others of forcing him on everyone.
Somehow this logic escapes me. Why aren’t you somewhere else posting wonderful things about people you like????? Instead you come to a place about Clay Aiken and then get angry. IT DOES NOT COMPUTE. :)
“I would rather have my nuts tightened in a vice than have to endure “multiple” clay aiken shows….”
if I had nuts I’d put them in a vice for clay tickets!!
What a doll he is.
That is 100% Clay Aiken. All 6 feet and 1 inch of a very, very hawt man!!! Yes, he is working out! Yes, I am a fan! Why? He is gorgeous, funny, smart, snarky and has a vox I love. No one is ever going to that take away those facts! I will love seeing him on Valentine’s Day on Jimmey Kimmel! Thanks for the picture.
Carrie On
That can’t be him. He looks manly. Clay doesn’t look manly… HE NEVER DOES!!!
That looks like Boo to me.
Didja think he was going to be 23 forever?
I’m a fan, but I think he looks awful right now. I hate the hair and the weight gain. Buddy needs to lay off the Hot Pockets and KKs and should stop taking the Paxil **** and lose weight again! He was much hotter skinny. It almost looks like he’s trying to look like the majority of his fans. *hurl!*
IT IS CLAY AIKEN, I TOOK THE PHOTO
:P Gabo
He looks like he wants to punch someone with his clenched jaw and clenched fist.
The boy has grown into a man.
I think I love him.
Nice shot, gabo. Are there any more? He looks good. Very very good. Hot even!
I’d pay to see him punch somebody’s lights out.
smooches to you gabo, nice pic!
Question: Have you seen Clay in person before? Does he look somewhat more…um….broadshouldered now than in the past?
He looks HAWT to me. Who knew?
His belly looks bloated.
kidi, that isn’t his belly that is bloated, it’s just all the items he has in the pocket of his sweatshirt. Most likely his iPod for sure, maybe his keys and other assorted items.
Clay is hugely bloated these days. He’s put on at least 30 pounds in the last few months. It’s all the drugs and the pain of being a closeted homosexual. Thank God he looks better on his Manhunt webcam or he’d never get any!
I love Clay Aiken. He looks great!
Clay’s date at manhunt…sorry, that wasn’t Clay! That was Perez Hilton inpersonating Clay Aiken. LOL!
Clay looks great! All the girls know he looks great! Eat your heart out, those that go following his supporters around. We read your blogs and know that you just can’t let him be. Go support someone you like instead of tearing down Clay! Thanks.
Great picture gaba!
You do realize your doing the exact same thing your annoyed about by posting about it in here…just a thought. Clays fans want to enjoy Clay, and haters use every thread they can find to put him down..even the yahoo questions thread, which was NOT about the hate, it was about what we can do to help the children, those who posted hateful things in there should be ashamed.
Beautifully said!!
You Clay fans are freakin hilarious. So passionate. So driven. So argumentative. So weird. So what…he’s gay as a 3 dollar bill. Y’all say you wouldn’t care if he was gay, but deep down you know your midnight masterbatory fantasies would be ruined. Hmmmmmm…but good for you for having a passion. Hunky and masculine Clay….bwahaaaaaaaa, cahhahahaa, that is HIGH-LARIOUS.
I’ll never understand why Clay is such a target. Grow the hell up!
Clay Aiken is great. I love the little extra weight on Clay. What a cutie!
Clay, being the humanitarian that he is, sure does some heavy reading - The Places in Between - about Afghanistan after the Taliban were deposed. Says alot about this talented young man. Can’t wait to see him on Kimmel tonight.
After seeing some of the comments on this site about Clay and his picture at the airport, I had to wonder if this was a high school website - or maybe middle school. Such childish and immature comments about a young man who is trying to be a positive role model - which makes him the perfect target for the haters. Sure says a lot more about the character (or lack thereof) of the commentors than it does about Clay.
Love Clay Aiken!!!
Since his face has plumped up he looks just like Boo.
Who the hell is Boo? Anyhow, no way does Clay look fat/bloated. Do you know how stupid that makes you seem when you say that when he is in no way overweight? It makes you sound desperate to find something…anything…to say against the man. Me? I think he looks great, and sings great.
That is definitely Clay unless someone stole his hat, rings, backpack, and his cousin. He has gained a little weight but no where near as much as some people try to claim. He was still very thin during his Christmas shows and looked much the same on the morning show just two weeks ago. I doubt he is buffed or built up, just the normal male growing into his manhood and structure. The guy was never little, just skinny. The haters, well, they are just as funny as ever. Someday maybe they will grow up and move on.
Man, he is looking mighty fine! Look at those arms, would ya? His cousin Jamie is a cutie as well.
Wonder what his hair will be like? He is always changing it.
Tonight he is on Kimmel…..Jimmy Kimmel knows how to get the ratings for Sweeps!!! LOL He and Clay are always so hilarious in their antics and talking.
Bet the studio is filled with Valentine gifts for Clay. He deserves it!!
I see the Soulful Sistahs (Ruben fans gone bad) and the Kelbots (Kelly fans who are just as bad) have swarmed here like the gnats they are. Their job 24/7 is to try to trash Clay. Too bad for them it hasn’t worked. Pathetic losers they are!!!!
Glad to see clay has great taste in books…
Great shot Gabbo! Keep up the good work. If you can make someone who has endured a long flight look this good, I want you there at all of my celebrity arrivals. MUAH!!!!
I think it’s just great that all these people who just cannot stand Clay Aiken and think he is so awful feel the need to hang around so they can spout their nasty comments.
Green is a lovey shade and it is really showing on some of these people. Try moving on from middle school.
God he sucks, in more ways than one.
he sucks or Boo sucks? Kelly fans, explain to us who Boo is, isn’t he Kell’s best Buds you know, the one pictured with Kelly and havind the drugs and stuff in front of them on the table in that picture at new years a few years ago? I remember .
I love Clay. He looked great on KImmel too. does that bother you?
THATS NoT HIM!!!!!! He was on Jimmy Kimmil tonight and he is still a skinny little nerdy thing and looks nothing like that….its not him..i dont care who took the picture
Yeah, It’s him alright. He was hilarious on Kimmel last night. What a cutie!
I think the guy looks great. I met him at a Kelly C. concert and he was much too thin back then. A relative of Kelly’s is a business associate and told me that Kelly and Clay have been secretly dating since they toured together. I think they make a great couple. Best wished to both of them.
“**** Campbell”…..yeah right! Unless Kelly has had a sex change operation and turned into a guy, then I would believe she and Clay were dating. You Claymates are something else! Desperate much?
Hey Ryan, I’ve got a vice grip with your name on it …waiting. Why do Kelly’s fans follow everything that Clay does? They sure do hate him…wonder why?
on second thought…..a small pair of tweezers will do.
IF YOU DONT HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT CLAY KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.CLAY IS A WONDERFUL PERSON,HE DOES A LOT FOR THE CHILDREAN AND OTHERS.THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER IDOLE LIKE CLAY,HES THE BEST.
Hurray I guess Kelly is now a transvestite so she and clay are dating…more power to them…
and by the way clay is so ugly and sucks…dresses like a redneck too.
He needs some plastic surgery. You’re looking old, fat, and fugly Clay.
