I was wondering what the reaction of some of his fans would be and just as I suspected, many are devastated. I wish I knew how old the posters of these entries were, but it’s painfully obvious that they are in a state of shock and disbelief!
Here are a few comments on the Claymates forum:
“This is a gut wrenching day for The ClayNation. Somebody wake me up, I hope its a dream.”
“please tell me I’m not the only one who is shocked beyond belief! I feel numb I’m so upset. This can’t be real!! How can you guys say this won’t change anything? This changes EVERYTHING. I don’t even know what to think right now”
“I wish him well and hope he gets some peace of mind now BUT I feel he lied to everyone-especially us fans. He should have just said so years ago. I feel like we were “used”. I still love to hear him sing but I also feel he has now become like a Michael Jackson and it’s a bit too weird! He isn’t just the plain ordinary person with the values he first stood for.-but it’s just my opinion.”
“One really sad thing for me that sums this up. THis morning at the breakfast table my 9 and 10 year olds were there and the radio was on and they came on with the headline “FOrmer American Idol…” and I knew what was coming and I ran to turn it off. I didn’t want my young children to hear that and ask questions about it. To me this is the saddest thing and the reason I won’t be able to hold him as my idol. I remember the day when I ran to turn it on and called all the family to watch with pride. It just seems so in your face now and I don’t want exposing my kids to this. ”
“I just feel rather silly now having spent the last 5 years drooling over and being fan girly for a singer I thought was straight and now finding out he is gay. It does change my perception of who he is and how I see him. We always called him our boyfriend and that won’t be happening anymore.”
I can’t wait to read his reaction to the pain he has caused. *sniffs*
After repeatedly dodging questions about his sexuality and despite the rumours, former “American Idol” singer Clay Aiken has now admitted he is a gay man in an interview with People magazine which will be online Wednesday.
He had insisted previously that his sexuality was nobody’s business but his own and in 2006 when ABC’s television’s Diane Sawyer asked him flat out, he told her off saying it was a “really rude” question! He also shrugged the same question off in a previous interview with People magazine saying that people “are going to believe what they want.”
The caption on the latest PEOPLE cover reads “Yes, I’m Gay,” and underneath is a quote from Aiken on his decision to come out of the closet that says: “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.”
In August this year, Clay’s friend, music producer Jaymes Foster, (sister of record producer David Foster) gave birth to the baby fathered by him.
I wonder how his fanatical fans the Claymates will react to this revelation?!
Paul McCartney can relax when he arrives in Israel next week. Yesterday, the internet was abuzz with rumours that he would be a target if he went ahead and performed in the Holy Land but apparently the original threat was from a lone fame seeking terrorist named Omar Bakri.
Aaron Klein WorldNetDaily’s Jerusalem bureau chief has released a statement saying he personally called leaders from all of the terrorist groups and none of them knew who Sir Paul was.
Klein is also author of the book “Schmoozing with Terrorists.”
Klein said he even sang some of the Beatle’s hits including: “Yesterday,” “Let It Be” and “She Loves You,” but none of the leaders recognized any of them.
Klein has interviewed Bakri several times. In 1999, he spent a weekend with Bakri and his group, writing an article called, “My Weekend with the Enemy,” published in newspapers, including the Jerusalem Post and Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Klein called Bakri a “notorious media attention seeker” who is “more talk than action.”
He said Palestinian terror groups “pay little to no attention to anything Bakri says or does. They don’t take Bakri seriously.”
Here are a few quotes from some of the other leaders:
“I don’t know any of this,” said Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesman and senior leader of the Popular Resistance Committees terror group.
Abu Ahmed, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in Gaza, told Klein, “We don’t know these Beatles.”
Ala Senakreh, chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the West Bank city of Nablus said:
“Listen, I have a friend at the University [of Nablus]. I can call him. Maybe he knows of McCartney,” Senakreh told Klein.
Klein said he also called members of Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and a lesser-known group, the Army of Islam. Those terrorists also had no idea who The Beatles/Mcartney were.
Lindsay is annoyed and has taken to her MySpace blog to vent about the chit chat going on about her little sister’s boobs and whether or not she’s had them done. I don’t imagine that mama Lohan ever told her that sometimes the best response is no response. For whatever reason, Lindsay felt she had to set the record straight. Whatever… maybe she really thinks that any publicity is good publicity!
She wrote this:
“ARE THEY REAL?????
hey everyone..
i just had to share something that came up today and it made me feel a bit sick to my stomach.
so, here’s the visual…
me and my friend Patrick walking into a store, and two paparazzi come up out of nowhere (like usual) and start throwing questions at me…
one of them being, “Hey Lindsay, what do you have to say about people commenting on your sisters implants?”
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my response simply was, “Did you really just ask me that? She is a 14 year old girl, and you are a pedophile!”
i was caught out of nowhere so i didn’t really come up with the proper response at the time.. there’s many other things that i felt like saying, but why give it to a random guy with a camera so that he can make money!
All i am trying to say is, is that, i was raised with a wonderful family surrounding me, of course we have our ups and downs, but all in all my mother taught us to appreciate what we have been given. Nor would she ever encourage, or allow a 14 year old child to alter her body.
i am not judging people that do, but i am just saying that its not something that my family finds necessary to do, especially when you’re not even fully developed yet!
It is hard enough being 14 years old and you have enough insecurities to begin with, then add being in the public eye…
i just find it really disconcerting that people have to focus on the negative and that some people are sooooo bored with their own lives that they need to manifest lies to hurt another person.
in a more positive light…
i got some great clothes from alexander wang and i miss samantha cuz she’s out of town 
have a wonderful day everyone~
til next time..
xx LL”
Well that will settle that!

I’m reading Craig’s list and came upon this ad. I am a wee bit excited, and…. a wee bit tempted. I have an urge to apply because … something tells me this will be a blast. Who am I kidding, I’m so freakin’ busy with school there’s no way, but I’m definitely going to pass this along to some of my friends. There are a few drama freaks in my social circle, and I’m so sure they’d love to take a chance and will no doubt send in their applications.
Nelly has been performing at festivals throughout Europe and she has been doing some really fun video blogs to share her travels with her fans. She’s looking really healthy, and happy. Nice to see. Check it out for yourself.
THE GAME has stepped on EMINEM in a new track leaked online. This seems to be a thinly veiled announcement that their friendship is over.
The single, from his forthcoming L.A.X. album, is a collaboration with Lil Wayne.
The Game raps: “All the pictures of me and Em, I burned them / So there ain’t no proof I walked through 8 Mile.”
The two rappers were closerthanthis back in 2005, they did a duet on the track We Ain’t, from The Game’s debut album The Documentary.
I had to go look it up as I remembered him defending Em’s rep as a rapper awhile back to Rolling Stone… here it is:
“Everybody thinks it’s so bizarre because a white kid has never been at the top of hip-hop’s food chain. Eminem’s a talented motherf**ker, and nobody can f**k with the white dude.”
I wonder what caused this beef between them? Then again, he also has ongoing drama with 50 Cent who is one of Em’s proteges.
Jessica Simpson was snapped by the paparazzi wearing a t-shirt that read “Real Girls Eat Meat’ and this apparently has upset Pamela Anderson, a devoted vegetarian and high profile member of PETA. I actually think that the shirt was a lame attempt by Jessica to make a dig about her boyfriend Tony Roma’s ex girlfriend Carrie Underwood who is a vegetarian but even if it wasn’t, I really don’t get the hateful reaction.
Speaking on an Australian radio station, Pam fumed:
“I think she is a bitch and whore. Actually, I don’t know if she was talking about food or men. [Not eating meat] is healthy, good for your body and good for the environment.”
Umm, Pamela Anderson has slept with her fair share of men, has been married and divorced a few times, has a sex tape that was leaked to the internet… she really has cheek to be calling Jessica Simpson names! *meow*
Here is Jessica wearing the T-shirt
According to Idolator.com, Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend video is currently Youtube’s all-time no. 2 clip, “having been viewed some 88,739,107″ times.
Is she getting that many views or are some of her more rabid fans helping it along? It now appears that a devious plan has been in the works to move her into the top spot!
avrilbandaids.com has this writeup:
“Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend music video is less than 1 million views away from becoming the most watched video of all time on YouTube, so if ever there was a time for us to bring back the YouTube campaign, that time is now!
“But making Girlfriend the most watched video on YouTube is small potatoes compared to what we’re capable of. We’re going to make Girlfriend the first ever video on YouTube to have over 100,000,000 views…
“…what we’re attempting won’t be easy but…. Bahh who am I kidding? Of course it will be easy because we have a secret weapon.”
The secret weapon? A page that will automatically refresh every 15 seconds, adding one view to Girlfriend’s YouTube total each time it does.
“Keep this page open while you browse the internet, study for exams, or even sleep. For extra viewing power, open up two or more browser windows at this page!
“The views will start to add up faster than you can even imagine. If we had 86 people keeping two windows open for 10 days straight, we would already be at 10,000,000 views.”
The number one position currently belongs to that ‘History of Dance’ clip. Time will tell if her posse manages to get the job done, although it really is pathetic of them in my opinion!
Hi Everybody!
WOW! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! We are so excited about the fantastic response that we have had from everybody registering to come and see us on tour. It means so much that people want to see the 5 of us together again on stage.
Now for some really cool news! We’ve had loads of messages from people all over the World asking why we weren’t performing in their Country. It’s impossible for us to perform everywhere but we thought why not let our fans decide where we play? This is your chance to turn your City in to “SPICE CITYâ€! All you need to do is tell us where you want to see us!
The City with the most votes will become “SPICE CITY†and we’ll definitely come and play there as part of our tour. It really is up to you to decide which City becomes “SPICE CITY†so get voting!
Lots of love
The Spice Girls
Isn’t that sweet that the Spice Girls are letting their fans vote for what city they want them to do a concert in! I guess they are trying to rally up what fans they have left and get them to feel part of their special come back. Now if only they would bring back those tasty Spice Girl lollipops. I think I must have spent 100 of dollars on them because they tasted soooo good. (Go to their website to sign up to vote and to buy tickets)
