Seems like Clay Aiken is afraid of getting beat up, or he just really hates strangers.

The Spamalot "star" has been recently traveling with an extremely large bodyguard to protect him from all of the "fans" that mob him.

It seems Clay's obsession with protection is going even further.

Clay even took his bodyguard to the third anniversary party of Spamalot at Pigalle earlier this week.

You'd take a bodyguard to a celebrity studded event, where your "fans" aren't even allowed inside because… Is he afraid other celebs will mob or attack him?

Diane Sawyer was in attendance as well. Maybe he was afraid she'd dropkick him.

"Clay stood there with the bodyguard all night," said one partygoer. "He stays a few feet away from him and follows him around. Apparently, Clay gets mobbed by fans, but this party was just other celebrities, so it was peculiar."

Maybe it's not even a bodyguard, and just a hired escort?

You know he likes to roleplay!

It's a fun fun time!

Lezbopalooza!!!

Rosie O'Donnell and her wife, Kelli, visited the Gayken backstage after catching his performance in Spermalot on Monday night.

They probably talked about Kelly Ripa, musicals and how to revive Clay's barely there career!

Even though he's reported to spend hours trolling the Internet for gay sex, Clay Aiken has revealed that he has NO sex drive at all.

How sad!

He's shut it off, he says. And understandably so, he can't indulge in his sexual needs when he isn't comfortable enough with his sexuality to be open about it.

This excerpt for Clay's new interview with New York magazine makes us wanna cry for the poor un-horny Idol reject:

He does not plan on dating, and he is not involved with anyone. “Heck, no,” he says. “My dogs.” He has never had a romantic relationship with anyone, unless you count the girls he took to dances back in high school in Raleigh. “I just don’t have an interest in … any of that at all. I have got too much on my plate,” he says. “I’d rather focus on one thing and do that when I can devote time to it, and right now, I just don’t have any desire.”

But Aiken is 29 years old and he is also a human. Surely he must have needs. Urges. He contemplates this in silence for 20 or 30 seconds. “Ah think maybe I don’t! I mean, not really. I’ve just kind of shut it off, maybe. Is that bad?”

Do the Claymates really want the Gayken to be so repressed???

Clay is blonde!

The fagulous Idol reject showed off his new 'do on The View Tuesday morning.

He spent most of his time dissing the Claymates. We love it!

The Gayken is set to begin his role in Broadway's Spamalot, which means he's doing a bunch of interviews to promote the show.

Thankfully, though, journalists are "going there." Almost every single interviewer is bringing up the American Idol alum's homosexuality, which he still continues to deny.

Here are the highlights from his new interview with Time Out New York:

Time Out New York: So Spamalot isn’t how one expects Clay Aiken to invade Broadway.
Clay Aiken: And tell me why not! [Laughs]

Time Out New York: Well, you seem like a traditional guy. It’s a pretty unconventional show.
Clay Aiken: That’s exactly why we chose it. If you’re going to branch out into a new field, well, go whole hog—try something different.

Time Out New York: Had you seen the movie?
Clay Aiken: Never. And the first time I saw the show, I thought, This is stupid—there’s no plot. What’s the point?!? I had this image of Broadway having uplifting stories and melodies. But Spamalot’s just silliness and irreverence raised to a completely different level. I get to soil myself onstage!

Time Out New York: What will your fans think of that?
Clay Aiken: If I’ve learned one thing in the past five years, it’s that you’ll never please everybody. But the people who’ve been so supportive of us, they trust us enough to have some fun here and there, and be a little irreverent. I won’t be soiling myself for the rest of my life.

Time Out New York: Did you come up with the term Claymates?
Clay Aiken: No, it started when I was on American Idol. I didn’t really like it at first. I was like, Oh my God, how tacky! But now I think, If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. We’ve fully embraced it.

Time Out New York: Ever worry you’ll get a limb torn off?
Clay Aiken: Maybe just squeezed to death. [Laughs] But the Claymates are just a section of the fan base. The overwhelming majority are very respectful, very protective and mothering. If I sneeze onstage one night, 15 people show up at the next tour stop with Triaminic. I’ve got far more mothers than I ever needed!

Time Out New York: Is it true you’re allergic to nuts?
Clay Aiken: I’m allergic to a number of things: tree nuts, coffee, mints, chocolate. Some fans tried to introduce me to carob a few years ago. But it gave me the runs, so… [Laughs]

Time Out New York: Speaking of which, is it safe to say Rosie O’Donnell had diarrhea of the mouth when she called Kelly Ripa “homophobic”?
Clay Aiken: Oh, God. I think people on TV say certain things just so they can get attention. I didn’t agree with Rosie. But I appreciated her trying to come to my defense, in one way or another!

Time Out New York: What do you make of people nagging you about the “gay” thing?
Clay Aiken: I think the majority of the American public cares less about it than reporters like you do.

Time Out New York: Has anyone ever confronted you about it in public?
Clay Aiken: I can’t come up with any specific incidents. But I’ve been called everything in the book at some point or another—gay, ugly, nerdy, fat.

Hmmmm….

What have we learned about Clay????

He's into scat play!!!

Like any good 'mo, The Gayken is obsessed with Britney Spears.

And he has strong opinions about the former singer!

"We have a presidential election going on, and for whatever reason this is what people are interested in," the Idol alum tells Entertainment Tonight. "I think that is probably the saddest thing. Leave her alone, just leave her alone."

Stop talking about her, queen! Don't dignify the question! Don't feed the obsession!

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!
