Letters To The Editor
By AskMen.com Editors

attack of the claymates
AskMen.com has been spammed by The Claymates  -- [it's] virtually all middle-aged, loveless, lonely, deluded, and socially dysfunctional women [who voted] in your Top 49 Men qualifying poll. They will continue to spam your poll and Aiken absolutely 100% will win thanks to the dedicated whacko cult of Clay Aiken's Claymates. They resemble Liberace's middle-aged female fans who refused to believe he was gay. If you allow this deception to stand, your website and your reputation will suffer. Your decision to allow the spammed selection of Aiken into the top 100 already makes you look bad.   

Rick

[Editor's note: Yes, democracy can be an ugly mistress. But we stand by our decision to defer to the people in building our nominees list. And if you think that Clay doesn't deserve a spot on the final list, you'd better get over to the nominations ballot and vote for those who you think do.]

Ace's wild
Boulder's Ace Young hits the Pepsi Center with the American Idols __ and gets ready for his next big step (snip)

Young moved to Los Angeles to further his music career, and though he has opened for Brian McKnight and New Edition and appeared as himself on an episode of the UPN sitcom "Half & Half," he still found it difficult to break through to a larger audience.

Enter "American Idol," the wildly successful Fox talent show that debuted in 2002 and has launched the careers of Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken and Fantasia Barrino, among others.

"'American Idol' is the new 'Ed Sullivan Show,' if you will, and it exposes talent on the same level 'The Ed Sullivan Show' did in its heyday," says Mark Bliesener, a Denver-based band manager who works with music groups including Big Head Todd and the Monsters. "It's the only television that my entire family sits down and watches together. I want to watch it; my wife wants to watch it; my daughter wants to watch it, so it has this great unifying force which I think spreads across a lot of media and a lot of culture."

Clay Aiken Fans Plan Worldwide CD Release Parties; Tower Records, WalMart and Virgin Among the Retailers Hosting
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2006--Clay Aiken may have titled his new album A Thousand Different Ways for artistic reasons, but his fans want to propel him ONE way...and that's straight to the top of the charts.


The eagerly awaited CD goes on sale Tuesday, September 19th and will feature the hit single, "Without You." Participating stores will stay open late on the night of Monday, September 18th, allowing fans to buy Clay's CD at the stroke of midnight. Party activities will vary by store but will include music and raffles. Retailers nationwide include WalMart, Virgin Megastores, Barnes & Noble, Tower Records, Wherehouse Music and Borders, among others. To find a party by region, visit www.clayaikencdparties.com.

Clay's first CD, 2003's Measure of a Man achieved the highest first week sales for a debut solo artist in 10 years. The following year his second CD, Merry Christmas with Love smashed the Billboard record for highest first week sales for a holiday album. Last month, A Thousand Different Ways shot to #1 on Amazon.com just hours after pre-ordering began. The Clay Nation is eager to hear the CD as quickly as possible and will be holding CD release parties in 81 cities in North America.

The CD Release parties are a 100% fan based initiative and are not affiliated with Sony/BMG.

Clay Aiken to be appointed to committee
 
Quote
The White House has announced that President Bush intends to appoint Clay Aiken -- or Clayton Aiken, as he is listed in the press release -- to the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities.
Aiken is a Raleigh native who rose to fame as a runner-up in the "American Idol" competition. Before his singing career took off, Aiken worked as a counselor at a YMCA.

The committee advises the president and the head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on issues relating to programs and services for people with intellectual disabilities, according to the committee's web site. The committee was first established, as the President's Panel on Mental Retardation, in 1961 by President Kennedy
