  • A group of women are suing Clay Aiken and his record labels for false advertising, alleging that marketing campaigns characterized Mr. Aiken as, well, something other than the flaming homosexual that even a blind and deaf person would notice that he is. In their complaint they make the shocking claim that “the private Clay [read: prancing queen Clay] is very different [read: gayer than Christmas] from the manufactured packaged public Clay [read: repressed, depressed choirboy] that was marketed to us.” Okay, I’m not sure how to say this more clearly: IF IT LOOKS GAY AND SOUNDS GAY AND DENIES IT TO DIANE SAWYER ALL THE TIME FOR GOD’S SAKE IT’S GAY. [Starpulse]
  • And Anna Nicole Smith had her day at the U.S. Supreme Court as part of the dispute over her late husband’s $1.6 billion fortune. In an effort to win over the Court, Ms. Smith provided 85-year-old Justice Stevens with a happy-ending massage and offered Justice Ginsburg tips on the most lucrative street corners to work in Capitol Heights.

    Wow! What an interesting basis for a law suit. I’m not sure how the ladies can prove that the false advertising did them any harm, though. I mean, did any of them have even the slimmest hope of meeting Clay, falling in love, marrying and then finding out it was all a sham? Or is their complaint that Clay Aiken’s sexuality affected their enjoyment of his music? Or perhaps they are under the impression that they can catch “gay” by listening to him. How delusional are these women? Do they honestly think that any performer’s public persona is based on reality? I’m sure that very few performers show their real private side to the public. That’s why it’s called “private”.

    As to Anna Nicole- I hope she gets the money. I think she deserves some of that fortune just for putting up with the old man (and his family). Besides, then maybe she can afford not to appear on television anymore. Wouldn’t that be nice?

    Yeah damages are going to be hard to prove in this one here. Very weird. I would ask what lawyer would ever take this case, but that question is not really worth asking these days.

    zevonia said it all regarding the fallen “Clay Nation”. Are these people insane?

    Yes. Yes they are insane. For instance, they believed that Clay was heterosexual. I find it amusing that their complaint is based on tabloid claims that Clay is gay…as if even the claim somehow interferes with their “enjoyment”. Next thing you know, they will sue Tom Cruise (or the estate of Rock Hudson).

    These whacked out Claymates have got to be the dumbest women in America, who also have a lot of time on their hands. Every Claymate I’ve seen is usually obese, middle aged, wears stretch pants and has really bad hair. Even if Clay were straight, these train wrecks wouldn’t have a chance, so what are they all bitchin’ about?

    The hole is confused!

    I just wonder whether Ms. Smith used the time-tested “Want some monnnnnney? Like my boddddddddy?” line on Clarence Thomas.

    Humm . . . homophobic perhaps?

    These nine woman are all church-going (I go church but am not a fanatic so don’t attack), right-wing neo-conservatives who were duped by Clay Aiken? They are more outraged by this dishonesty than the dishonesty of someone they voted for? That’s right — give me back my $16 and the hell with the future of America!

    TVWilliams- “They are more outraged by this dishonesty than the dishonesty of someone they voted for?”

    You win for wisdom of the day. I couldn’t have said it better myself. (not that I ever say anything all that well).

    Poor Anna Nicole should get the $$$ – then maybe she can afford decent extensions.

    Did you see the back of her head when the wind blew?
    Nasty!
