Oh. No. He. Didn’t!!!!
In a new interview with Newsweek to promote his Broadway debut in Spamalot, Clay Aiken not only disses the show he’s starring in, but also pulls a total diva tantrum when probed about his personal life.
Here’s the excerpt:
Have you seen “Spamalot”? The first time I saw it I thought it was the stupidest thing I’d ever seen in my entire life. My tour drummer is the “Spamalot” drummer, and [he] said you’ve got to see it again.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.
We’re just having a conversation. Change the subject! I’d never take a job where I had to do something that I didn’t want to do.
What about all those Ford commercials on “American Idol”? That wasn’t a job.
It was part of your job. It wasn’t a Ford commercial. It was a music video. It was a completely different thing.
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.
Are you going to watch “Idol”? I haven’t watched since season four. I compare it to high-school football–if it weren’t for high school, we wouldn’t be successful, but I don’t need to keep going to the football games.
Wow — what an inflated sense of importance!! Blame the Claymates!!

lol what a dumbass
I disliked him before, but now I hate him. What an asshole.
Fucking loser!!!
As much as I hate Perez this is those times I like seeing the white doodle style dicks by the person’s mouth.
Haha Get that stick out of your ass, Gayken!
Now I dislike him more than ever! He’s someone who deserves to lose all the fame and wealth he’s gotten. I hope his fan base dries up for good. The difference between him and Barry Manilow is Barry has had decades of hit songs and didn’t turn into a diva until decades later, opposite of Clay.
I’d love it if a gay video of him came out, a really embarrassing video at that!
He’s washed up anyway, no one cares about him anymore except the fat old ladies LOL.
What a dick.
I am not, repeat, not a Clay Aiken fan. But I guess I read it a little differently. I believe I also would be upset if Newsweek wanted to interview me and only asked questions about disputes I had with others a year ago. The reporter doesn’t let up on him, either. I’ve certainly reacted snotty to rude behavior. Haven’t you?
He’s so gay he doesn’t know what to do with himself.
OMFG! I think I just got a (little?) respect for Aiken! Is it wrong that I think his answers were, dare I say it, funny and right on? Newsweek asking those questions? That is lame. Now I must go hang my head in shame.
If Newsweek were more reputable they wouldn’t be talking to Clay Aiken.
I don’t see what the big deal is. I think he was funny. What was the deal with bringing up the Kelly Ripa thing from 2 years ago???
Oh god what a little prick. It doesn’t bother me one bit if he’s gay or not, that’s got nothing to do with the fact that he acts like an asshole. When you are in the public eye you are going to be asked about the things you do, there are certain ways to say no comment without making it into a much bigger deal than it is. Look at Britney when she used to get the virginity questions all the time…she’d just say I don’t really want to talk about and laugh it off and move on. It’s journalist’s jobs to ask questions. Clay needs to get over himself and realise nobody actually really cares that much about him anyway.
The only noteworthy things about the creepy dude is what Newsweek asked and he won’t discuss any of it! ROTFLMAO! and then only bitches about and insuts the show he is there to promote! ROTFLMAO!
Wow, he’s really mad.
OMG Gayken come out already and go have sex, it will help with your grumpiness. It’s quite funny though when he has these BF’s ( You know, bitch fits).. I’m sure that’s what he and his girlfriends call them..
what a total and utter TOOL!!!!
He is so full of himself! If he was hoping to win over new fans, or sell tickets to Spamalot, he messed up big time. What a jerk!
I freeking love Clay aiken Now.. I can respect him for not pandering to the lowest of the low blow questions. He was there to talk about his current project and he gets Tabloid/ homophobe questions thrown at him? I freeking loved this .”This is NEWSWEEK. It’s not the National Enquirer. I’d hate to have a job where I had to be rude to people” Damn straight ( no pun intended)
Oh and classic “I thought NEWSWEEK would be more reputable. I’m surprised.” Bwah. The man will not be pushed into answereing anything he deemed unwarrented.
Could he have been more diplomatic sure, but I’m not sure the interviewer deserved it.
What a cunt
Can’t say that I blame him. He must get awfully tired of being subjected to the same old negative story seekers ! Leave well enough alone and let him go on with his endeavors. Problem seems to be that he’s not willing to play the game just to get ahead. That to me is worthy of respect.
