Idol Geek
Clay Aiken

Who is he? No. 2 in the American Idol contest; No. 1 in our hearts, and on the charts.

Why he's a cool geek: Aiken says he's proud to carry the banner for all nerds. But that only makes him cooler true to himself, not ashamed to declare he's a virgin. Since Idol, he has gotten all spiffed up but has remained loyal to his mom and his fans. And his records are selling like geek-fried griddle cakes.

Thanks, Pamela!! It was so nice to see Clay got to be at home in LA for a few minutes, anyway--he even had real food in his 'fridge!  Wish it were downloadable to keep forever, but enjoyed it.  Loved seeing little Raleigh wandering around looking into everything, such a darling little puppy.  So Raleigh's going to go to NC with Clay for the parade too?  It sure is tempting to drive up to NC to see it . . . (Please give us a review of it when you go, Pamela, and any others who go!)

One more note:  there's another video I hadn't seen before about Clay rehearsing on Nick Christmas special.  At the end the reporter says Martin Mull was talking to John Schneider on the sidelines and said the Clay fans' screaming made it "like an Elvis sighting"--way to go, Clay fans--show him how much we love him when he makes appearances!

Earlier today, there was a message that was broadcast from the VH1
website, supposedly from Clay. It was not from Clay. Here is Suzanne's response from the post earlier today that made its way around several boards.  Suzanne is the president of Clay's Official Fan Club.

Hi, Everyone!

I'm Suzanne, Clay's friend and president of his
officially sanctioned fan club at www.clayonline.com,
linked at www.clayaiken.com.

I just spoke with Clay and wanted to assure you that
while he agrees with the sentiments expressed in that
letter, those were not his words.

Check out the fan club site and sign up for the
mailing list for e-mail updates about when the fan
club site will be re-launched and you will be able to
join, as well as receive information updates about
Clay. The official fan club site will be the place to
go to find messages from Clay!

Thank you on behalf of him for your support and
enthusiasm and for making him your AMA Fans' Choice
Award winner!

God bless,
Suzanne
