Clay Aiken VS. Newsweek

Round 1!

Newsweek got a little too inquisitive for American Idol alum Clay Aiken. Do you think the interviewer went a little too far? Here’s what went down during a recent sit-down:

How did you get into a fight with that lady on a plane? I’m not going to talk about it.

I was just curious because you’ve never talked about it. I did talk about it.

What about the Kelly Ripa thing? I’m not going to discuss it.

Did you think it was homophobic? I’m not going to discuss it.

What do you want to talk about? I think we’re done.

Can we talk about something fun? No, we’re done. I thought Newsweek would be more reputable. I’m surprised.

But I think people are curious about it. It was a year ago. This is Newsweek. It’s not the National Enquirer. I’d hate to have a job where I had to be rude to people.

I’ll change the subject. What do you do for fun? I watch the news. I read news magazines, but I’m reconsidering that now.

What an ******* diva. Aiken has lost his mind. He reminds me of carrot top/the joker here with his fug azz. Better be glad someone wants to interview him.

way to go Clay, why asked Q’s that happened in the past? past is past, focus on the future, stupid newsweek, they know better than that.

bitchy bitchy boy!!

if he feels that way about spamalot, why didnt he give the role in the musical to a more talented individual
i have no desire to see him in a broadway show

clay needs to chill.he is lucky that anyone wants to interview his dumba**! he needs to be more concerned about his record deal getting dropped like all the other AI alums.

I think this guy is a DIVA! Actually, I didn’t even know he still made music!

I think he overreacted!

Couple of points…

First it is only an excerpt even at Newsweek, very hard to say what the complete interview entailed.

Second, Newsweek got schooled, they crossed boundaries and now they are being a bit pissy by slanting the interview.

Clay just like everyone has the right to set boundaries, if Newsweek had done their homework, they would have known that Clay issued a statement regarding the airplane foot thingy.

Not sure why people take offense for setting up boundaries, are celebrities now supposed to lose all boundaries so that they get positive press?

LOL! She’s such a diva, our Clay. But his comment - “…I’m rethinking that now.” was pretty funny.

haha. he does seem gay to me. and, maybe the interviewer and Clay were both a little harsh. lol.

ew he is fug and why is he so smug. not even cute. do something with those brows.ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Don’t step on a queen’s rope. just sayin’….
But good for him, you gotta stand up for yourself, the “reporter” should have been smart and sensetive enough to notice and change the subject. The Arab Aquarius

He’s so full of his delusional self. He got dropped by label. Rightly so. Perv.

I agree about the last comment — “I read … news magazines … But I’m rethinking that now.” — haha

Why is he being interviewed?… exactly what has he done?

But I still like what he said… that magazine shouldn’t pry when he’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to talk about it. It has nothing to do with his fame. Less famous people have just as much right to refuse to answer something as much as people like Angelina Jolie do.

your 3 minutes are up. fade awayyyyyyy aging queen.
go impersonate barbra steisand.

He’s being interviewed because hes joining the Broadway cast of Spamalot but the interviewer had difficulty sticking to the subject

and Clay has not been dropped from RCA. others have recently but Clay has not - too bad too cause RCA sucks

no-lister. answer the questions will ya. be grateful. here’s a question for herkein , what color is your matching thong and bra your’e wearing?
do you own a g aykini?

I have no respect for him, especially after this. The interviewer was just doing their job. What a rude way to treat someone.

He’s irrelevant. AI is embarass. If he isn’t dropped by his label, what are they waiting on.

He needs to get over himself.

that interviewer was mean.
Clay had every reason for wanting to leave.
