Clay Aiken VS. Newsweek

I don’t care for him that much, but good for him!

AIKEN BREAKIN MY HEART.

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.

LOL! Clay thinks he’s all that. But he’s just a stuck up little @&$#* like tons of others. YAY ME!!!! EIGTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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

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

I think he overreacted!

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

that interviewer went way to far.
JJ can you please delete the irrelevant and rude comments on here? Please?

It’s an interview.
He should get over it. Pretty rude of Clay to do such a thing.

this is a fake article

Clay Aiken I am so glad that you did not let them talk you into starting this whole episode again, I f anybody read the press and tabloids the question of what happen with Kelly and the Airplane was answered by you. Newsweek wanted to catch you offguard like they do so many others stars when they sign up for an interview. I guess Clay have watched other stars trying to explain a question they were not prepared for. Whatever anyone thinks of Clay Aiken, you will be telling a bald face lie if you say he cannot sing. He is a great talent when it comes to singing. I wish he would perform in Vegas.

Lisa,

Newsweek got schooled? LOL

I am sure *Insert sarcasm here* they have a weekly or daily Clay Aiken fact checker.

I think gayken needs to get over himself big time. He was so rude to Kelly Ripa, didn’t even thank her or say anything when he co-hosted… *****. He is rude and arrogant & I hope his career is over fast. Plus his hair is ridiculously stupid.

Clay has such a chip on his shoulder, and is an angry, traumatized little man who gets all wound up and passive-aggressive at the drop of a hat. Maybe I wouldve normally given him the benefit of the doubt, but I have actually SEEN his clash with Ripa on YouTube…look it up. He was simply a jerk to her nonstop, just a guest who wants to throw barbs at her because he’s prissy & pissy, she was just trying to defend herself with some measure of humor. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t like to talk about it, because it makes him look bad…maybe he’s one of those angry closet homosexuals who act aggressively because they can’t come to terms with who they are. Not that I have anything against homosexuals, I have several gay friends, I just dont appreciate when unresolved personal issues make a person act like a jerk.

Wait, he’s still got a job?

actually i feel that interview was rather crap - stupid and irrelevant questions - i don’t blame him for answering the way he did.

The stuff that comes out of gayaiken mouth are inherently divisive and hypocritical!

He looks like trail mix…. He is soooo ugly! He is arrogant like a gay men.

That interview is ******* hilarious.
Gayken is such an *******.
No one cares about any of his **** except the stuff he ‘won’t discuss’ and he just can’t stand it. He was lucky that Newsweek agreed to interview him and then gets pissy at their questions?
What a loser.

This guy is pathetic and so goofy looking…and his singing voice now sounds like a girl…i can’t stand hearing him sing like his last album i could not listen to it…to think that i was a fan of him in AI2 and even voted for him…he has lost what it takes to make it in the business, has a horrible womanly singing voice and screams when he sings…
Also he has shown no sophistication at all and dresses like a country mouse…sorry Clay.

Wow I’m really offended that JJ is allowing all these homophobic comments. If you want to be negative and down on Clay Aiken, than thats your business, but to call him gay slurs is unnecessary and wrong.

Jessie you are obviosly a hopeless claymate…this is not his website so people can say what they have in mind…he is what he is so get over it…
he’ll be happier if people can accept him for who he really is, gay, warts and all….and why should you be offended are you employed by him to be his keeper and protector…

someone needs to just ‘come out’ and ask the queeer-o if he’s gay. the answer’s obvious but it would be nice to hear him admit it.

who cares? f****** ugly though!!!!! yikes

Newsweek didn’t go far enough. I’m sorry but WHO does Ms. Aiken think she is? The President. Prime Minister. The Pope. No, some freak who came in second on a crappy tv show and sold a lot of records through wal mart. His career is at an end, next up cruise ships.

Ok, he’s a ***!! What an idiot…!

He’s a bitter little queen whose career is going nowhere and hates himself for being gay. He should just come out, maybe that’ll revive his dying career. For a while, anyway.

Diva … hope he gets the chop too … now is not soon enough!

He’s so pathetically gay!

Can’t say I’m a fan, but he handled himself nicely. Newsweek is a rag.

He needs to remember that he LOST American Idol.

Wow I never knew he was such an asshat.

Good for him, to actually stand up to a rude interviewer. He’s a smart guy. And I’m laughing at the comments that calls him egotistical and stuck-up, and finishes with “Yay me!”. Ironic.

So if he were in the closet, were to come out, then what? Y’all would still be slinging the slop. Just finding another thing to aim at. If you’ve read any other interviews this same reporter has done, he does it in all of them, the inane questions, and gets the same type of response. Clay didn’t do anything different from them. If the reporter really truly was pissed he wouldn’t have said he was witty and charming…he would have said he was arrogant and an ass. Mountain out of molehill, yet again.

As to the airplane thing..that woman was the assaulter, she hit him, while he was sleeping, as he stated in his comment on it, after it was spread across CNN.:-) Personally, she’s the one that was disrespectful. I’da smacked the hell out of her, seeing as how it’s so accepted to do so, with no consequences.

Whatever. The man’s still richer than me and probably most of y’all.
Green is an ugly color.

While Newsweek was out of line asking questions that had nothing to do with Spamalot, Aiken’s attitude toward his new gig is $h*tty at best.

He has to realize that attitude means everything. Just look at Katherine Heigl; she wafted in all the publicity she received when promoting Knocked Up, but tried to act like a paragon of feminist virtue months after? She came off as a douchy b*tch, plus, she may have marred the memories of those who saw the movie.

Aiken has a lot to learn. Newsweek needs to get rid of the tabloid influence.

Krung Krung #10 I think the interviewer was NOT over the line. He asked politely and was taken aback by Clay’s answers. What did Clay think he was going to get asked about? World politics?

And Arab Aquarius #19 they DID try to change the subject but no-class Aiken was horrified that anyone would ask about all his bad behavior that he didn’t even want to change the subject.

Aiken should be glad anyone is interviewing him about anything, and the Kelly Ripa thing was his chance to give his side to a reputable magazine. He’s known as a whiny phony diva, and he just proved it. Saying that it’s not National Enquirer — that would be a legitimate complaint if they had kept digging or were asking who he was dating or whatever, but they were asking about actual NEWS events that have happened, and giving him a chance to speak his side.
He’s just made a bigger ass of himself, if that was possible.

This is lame. Seriously, what did this ‘has been’ think Newsweek wanted to talk to him about? Newsweek wouldn’t have any other interest in him - what are they going to ask him about, his opinions on the presidential candidates or global warming?

Good for Clay Aiken….finally a celebrity that has backbnone to put these people in their places. Way to go.

While not at all interested in his career, I thought this except was great. Newsweek is supposed to be a news magazine, not a gossip rag.

Oh puh-lease! For all you stupid Claymates, he had a hissy fit and interfered with an airplane’s scheduled air travel, had the plane’s passenger’s detained, and involved the FBI!!! That is not merely “gossip” — that’s news.
By saying he wasn’t going to discuss something that he made news is like Paris saying she doesn’t want to talk about her time in jail, just sell her new perfume. Sorry, but you screw up on a national level, even news mags are going to ask you about it!

Good for Clay that he refused to answer even “fun” questions? He’s a DIVA. He only wants to promote himself. This wasn’t about “stick to my Broadway show” — do you really think Newsweek is there because he’s THAT good a singer? It’s because he’s a nationally known screwup who is in the public eye!

Newsweek was NOT acting like a gossip rag, and I’d be the first to clamp down on them if they were. He wants to promote his show, but sorry, the only thing he’s known for is acting like a brat and overstepping his celebrity bounds. If a news mag is going to say, look, you caused trouble on an airplane, what gives? He could have easily deflected it and downplayed it, but by acting uppity and snotty about it, he only made himself look worse.

As for Kelly Ripa, the guy slapped his hand across a TV host’s mouth. That’s news, not gossip. He did it on national television. If he doesn’t want to explain his weird and disgusting behavior, he shouldn’t agree to interviews in the first place. He acts like he has the right to treat people how he wants, but no one has the right to question him about it.

He’s an a s s h o l e, and he just got caught again. Anyone defending him is a Claymate who is divorced from reality.

Jeers to Clay Aiken for not acting with more grace. And jeers to Newsweek for thinking Clay Aiken is relevant.

I can’t believe that you people are still calling him gay he’s from the south and is a Christan so he’s suppose to hate gays, remember?

To Wilbert…

I don’t usually respond to this stuff, but I don’t listen to Clay Aiken (not that I’d be ashamed if I did). I’m gay and that is why homophobic comments offend me.

Although I think Newsweek was over-stepping it’s boundries by asking personal questions like those, I think Clay Aiken handled the interview very badly. Technically Newsweek is not supposed to be a tabloid magazine, but let’s be honest, how many magazines these days don’t ask those juicy personal questions? Not many. In one way or another, every magazine has an ounce of tabloid in it.

But even when the reporter tried to change the subject, Clay Aiken was still rude and pouty. The reporter was just doing his job, and even though he wasn’t exactly respecting Aiken’s privacy, that does not give Clay the right to be rude back. It would have been enough for him to say, I don’t really feel like talking about it, and then allow the subject to be changed.

Given his situation, he shouldn’t do anything else that would make more people believe he really is as stuck up as the magazines make him out to be.

Ugly ****..!!

Gayken lovers are the same kind of morons that would vote for Mike Huckabee.

his voice sucks and sounds like a screaming woman…i can’t stand listening to him…i actually threw his last cd in the garbage. clay you have no class and sophistication and you ought to go back to where you belong, to the backwoods of north carolina…

Oh give me a frikkin break. Clay is such a joke and his fans are insane. You’re finally getting an interview and you’re rude to the interviewer and you diss the show that’s your chance into having a real career.

So everyone, how would you have answered those boring year-old questions that the interviewer already knew the answers to, as we all did? If it were I going into this interview, from a reputable magazine, with the assumption it was to promote Spamolot, but only to get hit with the “same ol, same ol” garbage questions…I would be pissed too. This was an award winning interviewer? How pathetic. No, I’m not a claymate, nor an AI watcher…just an individual who likes the theatre and wanted some insite on the new production…not last year’s tabloid crap. Newsweek, if you can’t do it right, don’t do it please.

he gets pissy b/c the stuff newsweek is interviewing him about ‘happened 1 yr. ago’. that alone should have him thinking… if it happened 1 yr. ago and that’s roughly the only subject a news mag has to interview you about, get your sorry a-ss outta town - or do something newsworthy. crybaby a-ss-hole.

He had every right to stop the interview when he did.
Good for him! I’m glad he stood up for himself!

AHAHA!! i’m not a fan of his, but good for him! it’s funny & sad how he kept repeating “I’m not going to discuss it.” the last line was the best “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.” HAHA.
