AIKEN NEWS NETWORK, APRIL 28

GOOD MORNING...

May sweeps is also the time when some shows sign off for good – say farewell to Prison Break and King of the Hill in the coming weeks – and regular series wrap up with big-ticket season finales. Quite often these finales will include stunts and celebrity guest appearances, but this May's list is noticeably lacking in star power.

Beyond the delightful Ms. Fairchild and the wedding between McDreamy and Meredith on Grey's Anatomy (May 14), the season-finale forecast is not so great.

In case you're making a list, Carl Reiner plays a cranky old patient on House (May 11). Gerald McRaney, formerly TV's Major Dad, does likewise on the finale of CSI (May 14). And Alan Alda and Clay Aiken – together at last! – turn up on the last outing of 30 Rock (May 14).

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened the show with New York based Pilates Pro Kristin McGee. Kristin just released her new exercise dvd titled, Pilates for Beginners. Kristin explained that pilates doesn’t have to be for the rich or have to take all morning. She set out to give the beginner that taller, leaner posture, with slimmer waist and hips that working out with pilates gives you. Her dvd features 10 and 20 minute workouts. They work your core, back and butt. And as a bonus you get a booklet with 8 moves for making the most out of ones practice. During the interview Kristin shared some behind the scenes stories of training celebs like: Steve Martin, Clay Aiken and LeeAnn Rimes. You will not find an easier way to learn pilates.

CANN has an excellent essay about bullies and Clay's respone to a question about bullying.

When Clay Aiken was gracious enough to answer questions from his fans on Friday, it was almost hard to keep up.  But one serious question stood out and the answer was amazing.

Walk down memory lane,  one year ago today was Clay on QVC...

QVC debut on Monday, April 28 at 7 PM (ET).  Although some of Clay’s fans were experienced QVC shoppers, for many it was a new experience.

Clay appeared on QVC’s Q-Sessions Live, and performed songs from his much-anticipated new album “On My Way Here.” Clay also took the time to talk about some of the songs, giving some insight into the inspiration behind the album. QVC shoppers also had the opportunity to order “On My Way Here”, with a bonus CD/DVD created especially for QVC, eight days before its scheduled release.
