American Idol wasn’t afraid to give Clay Aiken the cold shoulder when he showed up to the set last week in a bid to reach out to contestant Adam Lambert for a possible “duets” album and concert tour, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
But Clay was also the first Idol contestant to break up with the show’s management/producers, 19 Entertainment, taking Kelly Clarkson with him. So is it really any wonder that no one was eager to welcome Aiken into the VIP room?
As a staff member put it, “‘To say the least, it was tense around here when Clay showed up — and boy, did they hustle him off the premises as fast as possible. If he didn’t get the hint after that — he never will.”
Doesn’t Clay have anything better to do?
