Stop The Clay Questions!

Hey everyone, just a note to say please please post up a message on any Clay Aiken boards that I have STOPPED taking questions!

I know a lot of you are members of Clay forums etc. so would you please be kind enough to post a message to say I will not be taking any more questions about Clay because they're basically just repeating themselves anyway, and it's getting in the way of my prep for when the interview comes around and it's becoming harder to organise. I will have to start refusing questions.

Please, if you have posted on your message boards about this interview, guide them to this site so they can see any updates etc. on this matter. I appreciate your cooperation on this, and thanks!

And by the way, i've had a few more e-mails AGAIN! People saying 'i'm positive this one hasn't been asked,'.... it has been asked, trust me, there are thousands of you and yes, every possible question about Clay, obscure and normal, has been asked! Not a single new e-mail has been a unique question, please, please, please respect that this has to stop or i'll still be taking Q's at Christmas!

Just a quick Good Morning to You!!  

I have an early meeting this morning so I need to be brief!

Did you send a question in Deanna?? Or anyone else from the board? I did....anyone willing to share what they asked?

Mine was similar to : " Would Clay consider dating or entertain the idea of marrying someone that has NO musical talent at all! Can't sing a note!! If so, since that is such a huge part of how he relates to someone, does he think he would be missing something? (Ex: Like love and songbirds Faith Hill and Tim McGraw- Vince Gill and Amy Grant)"

Kind of lame but it stemmed from the fact that I can not sing a note in tune!! I wondered if I had a chance at all!! HAHA!- (she says dragging a twenty year marriage and a 14 yr old son along...)

Hope you have a great day!

Oh- and Aikenseeker....I took my horoscope from yesterday to heart..I am accepting my new slightly lower paying, no dress clothes and heels, less stress postion and have these days off ...get this..Friday - Saturday- and Sunday every week!!!!!!!!!

Smiles today everyone!

I want to take a second and thank everyone for all the nice responses yesterday!!!      
I really appreciate all the nice folks here!!! :colors  :colors

You are all very, very sweet!!![/b]

Here ya go:

Morning everyone!!!

Here's Clay's horoscope for the day from yahoo.com!

Quickie:
You don't have to sever the knot. Untangle it gently, so you don't destroy the rope.

Overview:
Ssshhh! You're not in the mood for anything obvious -- in fact, the more intrigue and mystery, the better. Go ahead and play detective. Who knows what you'll discover, but it definitely won't be a boring day.

Daily Extended Forecast
Great things are happening all around you. You may have to look in unexpected places, but you'll find them eventually. Today you're the first one on the scene, which gives you greater authority than you might normally have. Take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself. Your good luck makes you the most popular kid on the block. Those closest to you are amused by your new image. Tonight is a great time for a party.

Love and Relationships:
Daily Flirt:
You've struck karmic gold. Maybe that means you're long overdue, or maybe that means you'll have a lot of paying back to do later -- but whatever the case, enjoy the ride and have fun. The world is on your side.

Daily Couples:
You're so surrounded by friendly admirers that your true love can hardly see your lovely smile. Wade through the crowd for some time together.

Daily Singles:
Listen to how people laugh for a big clue about your compatibility. And if they're not laughing around you, that's a pretty big clue as well.

Career and Finance:
Your ability to improvise on the spot is commendable, but even you could benefit from a little extra prep time. If you know your subject inside and out, you'll never be caught without a ready answer.

Good morning y'all!  This was reported last night by outthere, but I thought I would put it here also for posterity!

It's been reported in many, many news outlets that Jay Leno said this in his monologue:  "...Both candidates are neck in neck. Pollsters are now saying this could be the closest race since Clay Aiken beat Ruben Studdard."

What he actually said was: "...Pollsters are now saying this could be the closest race since Ruben beat Clay, and it's almost as important!"

The media's version?  It's funnier.  It seems lots of people think Clay did win!  Which isn't cool for Ruben, but still.  It makes me !

Is it Friday yet?

[Pamela]

Those closest to you are amused by your new image. Tonight is a great time for a party.

New image?!? Oh, and tonight is a great time for a party...a celebration of MoaM's first birthday!  I hope Clay is celebrating too!

GOOD MORNING DEANNA AND EVERONE POSTING.  I THINK WE ALL NEED ANOTHER CUP OF JO THIS COLD MORNING FROM CT.

 Ain't it funny how they aren't bringing together last year's cast assembled with season 2 like they did for season 2?

The media's version? It's funnier. It seems lots of people think Clay did win! Which isn't cool for Ruben, but still. ....Is it Friday yet?
