Best Gayken Interview Ever!

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Clay Aiken

a77147967.jpg

Clay Aiken was interviewed by Newsweek to promote his upcoming role in the Broadway musical Spamalot, and the fagulous singer totally lost his cool when the reporter started digging a little too deep.

But we thought fisting bottoms liked it deep?

Here are some of our HIGHlights:

NEWSWEEK: How's the "Spamalot" rehearsing going?
Clay Aiken: I'm sore. I couldn't even get off the toilet the other day. It hurts so bad. I don't know if it's I'm not coordinated or using muscles I never had to use before.

Have you seen "Spamalot"?
The first time I saw it I thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen in my entire life. My tour drummer is the "Spamalot" drummer, and [he] said you've got to see it again.

Are you a Python fan?
I thought Monty Python was a person until three months ago.

Do you think the Claymates will come see you?
They'll be there in full force. I hope they behave.

Are they rowdy?
Sometimes. They scare me every once in a while.

Do women throw their underwear on stage?
In Minneapolis, we had a lady throw her panties in the middle of "Silent Night." I'm like, Are you kidding me? We've had ladies throw Depends that say, "Your older fans love you, too."

How did you get into a fight with that lady on a plane?
I'm not going to talk about it.

I was just curious because you've never talked about it.
I did talk about it.

What about the Kelly Ripa thing?
I'm not going to discuss it.

Did you think it was homophobic?
I'm not going to discuss it.

What do you want to talk about?
I think we're done.

Can we talk about something fun?
No, we're done. I thought NEWSWEEK would be more reputable. I'm surprised.

But I think people are curious about it.
It was a year ago. This is NEWSWEEK. It's not the National Enquirer. I'd hate to have a job where I had to be rude to people.

We're just having a conversation.
Change the subject!

    207

    I'm kind of surprised that "Newsweek" would ask him about that stuff too. I supposed that it must get frustrating being asked the same questions all of the time. I don't think he's a bad person though… he just wants some of his personal life to still be personal.

    I would think a reporter for Newsweek would report what is pertinent NEWS. Kudos to Clay for responding respecfully. WHY would he respond???? Back off people…for gosh sakes let people be. Who cares what his sexuality is?????? I continue to be taken aback by the hate spewed in these comment sections. Unbelievable.

    Go Clay — best of luck to you in this new avenue for you. You still have the most amazing voice, and it brings me joy.

    209

    Wow Perez, you should be so proud of the TYPE OF PEOPLE who post comments on your site. They are just as shallow and unitelligent as you. How easy it must to hide behind your pcs and fling insults at anyone who doesn't live up to your holy high standards of complete coolness with no room for imperfection. What the hell are you teaching these young kids (at least I hope they are young kids and not adults who should surely be beyond that).

    Are you a Python fan?
    I thought Monty Python was a person until three months ago.

    Then technically he has no right to be even DOING a Python show.

    But I've seen every one [NY. LV and London] And well… The American plays suck.

    Good for him. Why answer questions about something that happened over a year ago - it's yesterday's news plus the interviewer's clumsy way of trying to out him was pathetic.

    clays right for not answering those questions.. i think more celebrities should be like him. PRIVATE! fucking britney cant get enough attention, and look at her! these people are PEOPLE!!!! and it just so happens that they're famous but what they do.. its their JOB…they have a job and a paycheck like the rest of us.. they're not strange exotic creatures that have to be poke and prodded at!their job doesn give the public the right to invade their privacy! these paparazzi and interviewers have NO RESPECT for privacy, and its about time someone stood up for thier right to have theire OWN life, and not have to share it with the rest of the world!

    221

    Why do people hate Clay so much? Seriously, WHAT has he done to earn such hatred from this many people? You'd swear that he KILLED someone or something! Is all the hostility because he won't talk about his supposed-homosexuality? First of all, we can all THINK that he's gay as much as we want but no one KNOWS for sure but HIM; and secondly, even if he is gay, why does he HAVE to talk about it? It's really no one else's business. If people want to live in the closest, let them–it's THEIR lives and they're the ones who suffer for it.

    Or is it because he's "ugly"? Well, that isn't a fucking CRIME, either! I think most of you are just jealous of his success and think that he shouldn't be successful simply because he doesn't happen to be good-looking. How shallow! Well, nobody ever said you couldn't be talented without also being gorgeous, so get the fuck over yourselves and HOPE that people aren't nearly as judgmental of YOU as you are of Clay. This man isn't handsome enough for you to drool over so you trash him instead even though he's a talented man who has earned everything he now has. Remember, he's a SINGER, not a MODEL!

    Why should it be a rule that the world should belong only to the good-looking people when the "ugly" (as you call them) are the far more talented and deserving? Remember that you do nothing but bitch and whine when the beautiful but sleazy and talentless (ie. Britney Spears) are overwhelming this world.

    What an idiot! I agree that the only reason we hear about this ass is because we want to see him admit he loves the cock. He needs to keep his mouth shut. He has Katherine Heigl syndrome. Quit talking shit on the business decisions that you are making.
    His comment on Monty Python has completely made me disinterested in this asswipe.

    #217 - nathalie-You're an idiot! The paparazzi chasing down celebrities for pictures has NOTHING to do with a celebrity AGREEING to an INTERVIEW! This is Newsweek, when they agree to answer QUESTIONS they know in advance that their lives are OPEN for inspection, that's what the whole business is about. If celebrities want a private life, STAY OUT OF THE BUSINESS or don't let yourself get into situations where you NEED to explain your actions. I'm sick to death of all these people who want fame & fortune and then expect the media NOT try & access their personal lives especially since it's the PUBLIC paying their salaries. They and YOU need to grow up and quit whining, when you act like an asshole you're doing in front of the whole world, so suck it up!

    You people are ridiculous. I'm not even a Clay Aiken fan, but honest to god, the shit this guy gets is completely uncalled for and totally immature. WHO CARES if he's gay or not? I think choosing not to talk about it is his right, and good for him for sticking to his guns. Make the assumptions you want to make, but to harrass a guy for not admitting he's gay (when its not even known whether he is or not) is completely out of line, and honestly, its not anyone's business but his. And I'm pretty sure a lot of you would be just as short tempered on the matter if not more so if you got grilled on issues related to your sexuality on a daily basis when it has absolutely nothing to do with your career and why you're in the public eye anyway.

    Haha Oh Ambie! Yep I was the friend that threw the panties. He got the story wrong. Everyone really should leave Clay alone though. He is an amazing singing, a wonderful person, yes he is hot and nerdy, and if everyone spent less time harshing him and more time helping others the world would be a little better!

    I'm not a "claymate", but seriously.. leave Clay alone. God…what's wrong with you people? You're all just being hypocrites, saying that he's "disgusting" and a "fag". I wonder who's the one that's digusting and being a fag by posting comments about someone that obviously has not done anything wrong. Normal people get annoyed and frustrated. If I were in his position, I'm pretty sure I would've been upset with the interview as well. I don't see what the big deal is. There's obviously bigger things than this to worry about out there.

    Dear Clay, if you want to be in this business you have to do some interviews.

    I am so over this "I'm not going to talk about it thing" I used to believe that he was a clean cut sophisticated guy. But now he has made a fool of himself so many times that I've dropped that thought. If he doesn't like the spotlight then he should leave it. I bet you that even his diehard fans are getting a little tired of this cat and mouse game he plays. He is making a fool out of these naive women and I think its kinda sad. Oh well, they will figure it out. They can't bee as stupid as he thinks they are.

    Tack-EE! I'd like to see this smug bastard consigned to working six months behind the counter at McDonald's or something. He obviously has no idea how privileged he is, has no appreciation for the people who put him in such a position, and could do with a serious bitch-slap upside the head to teach him a thing or two about life. What a twat!

    What are the Claymates doing commenting in here?? I thought you were progammed not to enter boards like this one. Naughty naughty.

    What sick people you all are. What's the matter can't talk dirty in the real world, but you can here. Does it make you feel big. Makes me want to throw up. Have no one better to put down than a talented man, who puts his career on hold to help disabled children. Who have you ever helped? A little jealous. Get a life. What would mommy think of these comments. You are closet pigs!!!

    253

    For all of the losers on this site. Have you ever listened to Clay's CD's, have you ever been to one of his shows, do you realize what he does for disabled children, did you see him sing in Las Vegas in Dec, did you see his Christmas show or ever listen to the beautiful Christmas CD he has out, have you ever heard of the Bubble Aiken society? Did you know that his weight gain is due to antidepressants he had to go on due to people like you. My guess, would be that most of you would have to answer "no" to all of the above. It is really sad when people put down and make up lies about someone they know nothing about. Unless you've been with him, none of you losers would no for sure if he was gay.

    I guess all of you are perfect, never did anything wrong, and are just the perfect weight. I can't believe the words some of you use. I think you should start looking at yourself. Is it what you do for fun is to put people down and kick them in the face? What if someone did that to you. How would you like your child or your mother to read this site. My suggestion is that you stop, maybe try to make yourself a better person, maybe even go to church.

    In the troubled world we live in today, maybe you can put some of this energy into something useful. Next time you want to bash someone, just stop and think one minute that this person is a human being made by GOD, just like you; and how would you like if everything said in this site was directed to you.
