Clay Aiken and Spamalot’s Hannah Waddingham depart from the 22nd Annual Easter Bonnet Competition, held on Tuesday at the Minskoff Theatre in New York City.

It was announced that over $3.7 million had been raised for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

In his new album On My Way Here, Clay has a track called ‘The Real Me’ which was written by Natalie Grant, a singer-songwriter in the area of contemporary Christian music.

In an interview with Billboard, Clay said of the track ‘The Real Me,’ “We first looked at that song as one of four originals on the last album. The thing I love so much about ‘The Real Me’ is that when I listened to it, I thought, ‘It’s about God.’ Jaymes (executive producer) heard a romantic song. Other people think it’s about their mom. Everyone is able to take their own message. Natalie was kind enough to change a little bit of the lyric so that it fits my life even better.”

Longtime UNICEF Ambassador Clay Aiken continues to rock out his blonde hair as he talks up the Tap project, which helps UNICEF provide safe drinking water to children around the world.

The 29-year-old American Idol alum encourages people to eat out during World Water Week (3/16 - 3/22). During that time, New York City restaurants will be asked to pay $1 for each glass of water that normally comes free with their meal. One dollar provides safe drinking water for a child in a Third World country for 40 days.

Broadway star Clay Aiken is not in love and he’s not looking for love, he tells NY Magazine. Here are some snippets from his length interview:

On his social life: “Nonexistent, really. I’m not a nighttime person.”

On his plans to date someone: “Heck, no. My dogs.”

On never having had a romantic relationship with anyone: “I just don’t have an interest in … any of that at all. I have got too much on my plate. I’d rather focus on one thing and do that when I can devote time to it, and right now, I just don’t have any desire.”

On suppressing his hormones: “Ah think maybe I don’t! I mean, not really. I’ve just kind of shut it off, maybe. Is that bad?”

On bars and clubs not being for him: “The only reason people go to bars is to get drunk and have sex. To me, bars are what hell is like.”

And for kicks, here’s how the article ends: “Us. We. He uses those words like one of those aggressively married women. But then he is married—to his brand, his team of staff, his celebrity, self-promotion. That’s what he was trying to tell me: He’s promosexual. And in New York City, that’s not so unusual. Perhaps Clay Aiken will fit right in.”

You can catch Clay on Broadway’s Spamalot until May 4th. Read the full interview at NYMag.com.
