Great White Way Ridiculous

Clay Aiken's Saturday night debut in Broadway's "Spamalot" was full of absurdity -- and not because of Monty Python's material.


As Aiken made his debut at Broadway's "Spamalot" on Saturday, TMZ was in the house and -- believe us -- the Shubert Theater was full of middle-aged housewives (who comprise the Claymates) elbowed and bitched their way through a crazy throng to get their Romeo's autograph.

If Kelly Ripa doesn't want him touching her, there are definitely plenty of 40-and-overs who do!

17. Just like Liberace, there are thousands of soccer mom's adoring an obvious homosexual. I am fascinated by that. Why is this? And now he's in THEATER---next he will be a figure skater! I would have SO much more respect for him if he had the courage to come out. But he NEEDS those soccer mom's, as gay men are not at all into him, like they are Ricky Martin. So perhaps that's why he stays behind the THINLY veiled curtain.

18. Why don't all you haters just get off his back already!!! What has he ever done to you?

19. Saw the original show and it was great. Good for Clay - looks like he's having a good time. I'm still trying to find all those over-40 housewives in the stage door video though. I'm seeing plenty of young women and men mixed in with the crowd. How do you know who's the housewife?

20. Enough already. What the heck is the matter with you idiots at TMZ. Pissed because Clay had the brains to get out of Hollywood and lead a normal life.? The theater has been packed with MEN and women and a huge amount of young people.

You are telling lies and the Hollywood worshipers here are more than willing to believe you. Yeah, I'm a fan. I'm 28.

21. TMZ You need to stick to reporting on the losers in LA and leave Broadway alone. They are way out of your league. And does the gay accusations make some of you feel better about your own love life? Losers.

23. It's obvious that Clay only did this because his career was in the toilet, and he was jealous of other Idols getting more attention. This guy's ego is huge. Back in the day, he was the most "successful" Idol. Now, it's just a bunch of old ladies and gays who like him. Oh, well, a guy's got to pay the bills. But, Simon said he belonged on Broadway all along, so it's nice to see that Simon is right again.

24. It's official that Broadway is now the dumping ground for American Idol losers and their delusional SQUEEE fans.

25. This is discrimination .What is wrong with you people from TMZ? What do you have against women over 40? Last year I went to The Almann Brothers concert and a saw a lot of men over 50 but nobody think there is anything wrong with that. Clay has a lot of fans, my two good friends from NY went to see him on Friday and yes they are over 40 and they look great . isn't kelly Ripper also over 40?

26. TMZ was in the house? Yeah, right. Check out Broadway.com. Not only was the theater Standing Room Only all weekend, but it was men and woman of all ages-even teenagers. And the stage door was also a mixed group. Why do write false stories? Is it because most people here are ready to believe those little pimply faced boys who write for you? You will never forgive Aiken for being a nice guy. Shove it.

27. TMZ can spin this any way they want. Saw Spamalot this weekend-Aiken was great. Loved the show. The whole cast was great. It was so much fun. Ask anyone that was there this weekend.

28. He looks like Carrottop, only Carrottop is better looking and more talented. I wish Clay Aiken would go away, far away.

29. He looks like Carrot top, but Carrot top is better looking and more talented. Why don't Clay Aiken just leave, go away, far away. He's just annoying.

Hey there, Momma. You got it backwards. Hollywood is the dumping ground. It takes talent and dedication to have success on the stage. To be a success in Hollywood, one only needs to drive drunk, use drugs and be sure to show up at all the clubs so you caa live vicariously through them.
