Clay Aiken landed on Broadway last night, in the quirky part of Sir Robin in the smash hit Spamalot.
Here’s a glance at the American Idol diva’s very first Broadway bow.
Meanwhile, in a new interview with Time Out New York the 29-year-old leader of Claynation says that in addition to be called gay, he’s been named “everything in the book.”
Time Out New York: Is it safe to say Rosie O’Donnell had diarrhea of the mouth when she called Kelly Ripa “homophobic�
Clay Aiken: Oh, God. I think people on TV say certain things just so they can get attention. I didn’t agree with Rosie. But I appreciated her trying to come to my defense, in one way or another!Time Out New York: What do you make of people nagging you about the “gay†thing?
Clay Aiken: I think the majority of the American public cares less about it than reporters like you do.Time Out New York: Has anyone ever confronted you about it in public?
Clay Aiken: I can’t come up with any specific incidents. But I’ve been called everything in the book at some point or another—gay, ugly, nerdy, fat.

He just looks soooo creepy and I only just had breakfast.
can he look any gayer
Gay, ugly, nerdy, fat…yeah you pretty much summed it up Clay. Nah calling him those names are kind of nasty, but he doesn’t help himself too much. His personality just stinks and he acts like a little uptight diva. He needs to just chill out and get over it. And I agree Lord Wednesday…he looks creepy.
Anyone else see a resemblance to Carrot Top?
I don’t exactly feel sorry for him, but he IS in a bad place. His fan base (and yes, he has one) would not be accepting of his homosexuality. So he has to continually deny, deflect, and disparage any media questions/comments to that effect. His fans are shrill in their defense of him, but if he admitted he was gay?
I honestly think they’d abandon him.
If he wants a career in entertainment, he has to stay in the closet. It’s a tough choice. Still, you’d think he’d be more media-savvy about the choice he’s made, and stop coming off as such a bitchy pretty princess. It’s hard to hide in the closet when your petticoat is peeking out…
Yep, Clay’s in a bad place alright.
Talent plus. A successful broadway debut. Tons of fans.
Just look at how miserable he looks. LOL.
^^^ Ahhh, I knew there would be Claymates lurking in the shadows–waiting for their chance to show their beloved idol the support he so richly deserves, while deliberately ignoring the “Clay is Gay!” jabs…
Spawn of Kathy Griffen and Carrot Top. Ouch.
He’s too gay to function
undoubtedly the most hideous creature i’ve ever seen
Clay Gaykin stars in “Spermalot”.
he needs to be bitch-slapped BIG time.
he’s so pretty.
speechless!
i wonder what simon would have to say about this.
Brrrr. He looks like that clown from Batman.
What’s the appeal? Why the rabid fanbase? It seems like the only thing he can sing are Billy Joel songs and then everything else just plain sucks.
He’s no big deal and will fade into the woodwork before long. He as no real appeal that will keep him famous for the long haul….mark my words
ugh. looks like im gonna be insomniac for the next few nights. he’s plain disgusting.
please post a new picture so that this isn’t the first image i see when i refresh my page. i beg you.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! What a douce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scarrrrrrrryyyyy. He looks like Willy WONKA.

you took the words right out of my mouth! uncanny!
why doesn’t he stop making a fool of himself and come out of the closet already? his insencerity is ruining his terribly weak image as it is.
maybe he’s carrot tops and k.d. langs love child
WOW he just keeps digging his own grave attacking those journalists. Nice move Gayken. If you’re not nice, all of your fanbase ( Christian women aged 45-65) are so gonna abandon you. They do not approve of viciousness.
Chelsea Clinton is not aging well……….
Good god his teeth are ala Ross’s from friends. And yes he definitely is Carrot Top Part Deux
fuck he’s ugly
Clay Aiken’s fanbase are anyone between the ages of 5-90 he is a great talent that appeals to every age group! He uses his great talent to help the underprivleged children! What have you people done lately? The world is a much better place since
clay has been dicovered It’s comparable to Christopher Columbus discovering America! I think all you people who have nasty things to say about Clay should take a good look in the mirror!
Carrot top and him should make out.
oh.dear.god.
The cock sucker should be grateful for that gig.
he seems like a prima donna bitch from his interviews. what a diva wannabe.
He’s become ugly because his attitude has become ugly. He talks trash to these magazine reporters, and he even pissed off Kelly Ripa (who doesn’t seem to get attitude with guests).
He’d get more respect with people if he finally came out. He’s been teased on Mad TV and by so many people, and its only because he’s so gay but hasn’t come out (same that happened with Rosie). The public is not stupid, just confirm what we all know. You are making it worse than it is.
omg, he looks like he’s turning into Liberace!
