  1. I assume because you say "STFU about it" you are speaking of the fans who have made a production of saying this on widely read message boards or gossip sites, or who have deliberately spread rumors--these being a very few individuals--as opposed to the larger number of fans who entertained the thought on occasion. I don't believe that larger number of fans has done any harm to him whatsoever. I thought he was gay during AI2, just assumed, never discussed it with anyone, and it didn't affect my fandom, nor do I believe my thinking that affected him. The tabloid rumors had nothing to do with fans, IMO, (with the possible exception of one individual who may have deliberately started rumors) but with some internet gossip site operators with a desire for more hits/more revenue in tandem with JP, Stern, Lucas, and the tabloids themselves, also motivated by $$$$. Those fans who brought and continue to bring attention to those individuals by going to their sites, by arguing with them, by bringing word of what they said around to all the boards--they're the ones who ought to STFU, IMO, because they give them just what they want--$$$ and attention. Blame the gossip-mongers, blame Perez, blame the tabloids, blame JP, blame Lucas, blame Stern, blame Conan, blame Kathy Griffin, blame Leno, blame MAD-TV, blame Simon, blame AI, blame stereotyping, blame a culture that gets away with taking out its homophobia on Clay because it's no longer PC to taunt gay people, but please don't blame every fan who ever thought Clay was gay, and don't blame the handful of people who get a charge out of upsetting people on the OFC with their innuendo (the reaction does far more harm than the innuendo, IMO), or the half-a-dozen people who get a charge out of upsetting the fans stupid enough to go to obscure little sites and read what is said there, or some teeny-tiny message board where free speech is accepted. I've seen the Hall of Shame, and everybody and her sister was on that list. It was ridiculous. If your list is as large as that, then I vehemently disagree with you. I always thought it was the specific nature of the rumors, which were sordid, nasty, and demeaning, and the crassness of the comedian's mocking that bugged Clay, rather than the idea that some people might think he's gay, but that's just me. I've never seen the Hall of Shame. I've never been to the cyberstalker's site. But I have known posters who appear sweet as pie go to another board and say despicable things and laugh about him. I've seen some of those posts retrievable on a google search. I've also encountered fans who believe the tabloids and still say they are just the best fans ever. The Clay message board world is our world. We make it up. Amid the complaints about the mommies, the insiders, the attention seekers, I don't let this group pass.
  2. Y'all sure have been blabby this weekend. It took me quite a while to catch up. Cindilu2, I've got to agree with you. I don't what he sings as long as he sings. I don't care what he does with his career as I long as I get to share it. Otherwise, I don't think Clay really drinks. I love a good drink, but Clay sounded ashamed of himself in LTS for being goaded into hard liquor. And he didn't like it. And now with the Paxil, I doubt if he indulges much at all. I also think Clay was poised for huge stardom, but things went somehow wrong when it became cooler to ridicule him than to enjoy him. Fans? They can wear blinkies, attend a million concerts, respond to articles - responses to just about any internet articles are appalling, I don't care. This is the part where I get serious. And I hesitate writing it, but it is the truth for me and it looks like things were getting pretty serious writing-wise over the weekend. I will unequivocally say I do not accept fans who say he is gay, but still "love" him. Who have no grasp of the harm they do and have done. In my opinion, it's the tabloid rumors that became accepted as truth that have hurt Clay's career the most. And many of the fans fed that. And they hurt him personally. I saw his hands shake on GMA discussing it. I. don't. ever. want. to. see. that. again. If that's what someone believes and I don't understand why anyone would think they know better than what Clay has stated about himself, STFU about it. Just STFU about it. Go join the CIA or Congress or some place where superomniscience is appreciated. Rant over. More pics and fun, please.
  3. Yup! And that new pic has been safely tucked away in my folder marked "2008 Calendar." Thanks!
  4. Permaswooned recap. The bolded portion brought a tear to my eye AGAIN.
  5. OMG! OMG! OMG! I had to bring this over from the cv. It's CLASSIC! eBay auction for http://cgi.ebay.com/Clay-Aikens-Childhood-...1QQcmdZViewItem
  6. I love that guy! But then again, I loved the fauxhawk. What a cutie!
  7. Sometimes I think his eyes look dark because his pupils get so big in the light. Double click both of these. Oh gah!
  8. Thanks! It is hard to see his eyes in the pics, but I liked the title of the review: "The man has incredible pipes" Hmmm, yeah. And my brain is going bouncy, bouncy, bouncy picturing it, er them.
  9. will this be possible since his eyes are green...hee speaking of Atlanta...that show sure had very little clack...what happened??? and I guess that will be the funny version of Without You...cos thats when he sang about can;t live without a car...hee eta: hee I;m on top of the page...its not too bad... are peole afraid of heights or something??? YAH! Izzy's M&G report :laola0: said that he was wearing colored contact lenses. Blue, brilliant blue!
  10. Morning y'all. I know I'm new and have no right to be pushy and demanding (although, frankly, you might want to get used to it.) However, it's for the greater good. I want to see a close up of Clay's eyes in Atlanta. I want to see those Paul Newman blues as described in the meet & greet. No, change that from "want to" to "got to." PS - for those who also loved MST3K, I've come to the conclusion that Gypsy would have loved Clay even more than Richard Basehart.
  11. Field of Dreams, The Natural, Bull Durham. All faves. MST3K? I LOVE Tom Servo, Cro-o-w, and above all, my GYPSY! And here she is.
  12. Gibby - I'm in love with you and those pictures. I don't think Jamie & Clay are in a romantic relationship. This revelation is based entirely on those pictures. Clay is holding, squeezing, cuddling oh, god Jamie, but she isn't really holding him. Including his thumb unless she has six fingers. I think we first saw her in that beach vacation pic last summer with Jaymes. That pic was all over the boards, but then pulled as being too personal as it was from Jamie's myspace, I think. I just looked at it and she still had her wedding ring on then. She is tiny compared to our strapping young man. I want to know about the woman who cooks his food and washes his clothes. I could have sworn he once said that Jennifer cooked for him. I could do that. Okay, I could learn to do that. Oh yeah,
  13. Hey, y'all! I've been lurking, but I HAD to comment on this post. The thought of Clay skillfully holding his long, sustained, heavy weight, keeping his arms straight while I appreciate how hard it is and how he does it so well. I, personally, don't think I'd get ever get bored with it. Or did I mix that up? It's been that kind of a day. I found a pair of panties in my drawer marked size M. I don't know whether to be more depressed that I used to wear them or that I obviously haven't cleaned out that drawer in the past ten years.
