Claymates, rejoice: “American Idol” alum Clay Aiken heads for Broadway this spring, stepping into a role in the Rialto production of “Monty Python’s Spamalot.”
Aiken, who placed second in the second season of “Idol,” will play Sir Robin, the part originated by David Hyde Pierce.
“Idol” vets have shown up on Broadway with increasing regularity. Fantasia Barrino, currently starring in “The Color Purple,” gave that tuner a major box office boost and won critical praise when she took over the lead role in April. Tamyra Gray appears through Nov. 25 in “Rent” (in which Frenchie Davis also has appeared), and Diana DeGarmo has done stints in “Hairspray.”

It’s unfortunate that in their desperation, Clay Aiken fans would take a sarcastic retort that I made in response to their ludicrous assertion and construe it as a statement of fact. Again, there was never a legitimate recant made by me nor will there be. I stand by the story as reported by the National Enquirer and as told by me on the Howard Stern Show.
Clay Aiken had an opportunity to address the claims I made back in January 2006, but declined. Instead his management and publicist refused comment when asked by several media outlets if the allegations were true.

Parishioners at the Central Christian Church in Wichita, Kansas where Clay Aiken is reportedly scheduled to give a Christmas concert in late November are apparently
worried they might have a gay enter their holy sanctuary
and want to make sure that’s not the case before Aiken is allowed to sing there:
“The Central Christian Church controversy reached a fever pitch shortly after the performance was announced, and the executive pastor Mark Posson felt compelled to send a letter to concerned elders. A source tells the National Enquirer, ‘Pastor Posson thought it was in the church’s best interest to circulate a letter.’ In the note, the pastor avoided the gay issue, declaring Aiken was a Christian who didn’t ‘drink, smoke, swear or womanise’. The clergyman also recalled interviews Aiken gave to Rolling Stone magazine and an internet site, in which he stated he was not gay.”
