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!

31. It annoys the crap out of me that comments are still made about the whole Kelly Rippa thing. I highly doubt that she didn't want Clay's hand over her mouth becaus he's GAY. She just didn't want ANYONE'S hand over her mouth because you don't know where ANYONE'S hand has been. Hell, I don't even let people I KNEW put their hand on my mouth... unless I see them washing it first!!

Would YOU let someone you barely knew put their hand over YOUR mouth??? Its not fair to say it was because he's gay or she's homophobic. Its just plain GROSS no matter who it is

32. I'm still not seeing all those over 40 year old women in the video TMZ? OH, BTW...I'm a huge Clay Aiken fan and I'm only 33.

33. Clay seemed to be really cheesing this role. Is this a comedy, such as in, Clay is purposely over acting and overcheesin his part for chuckles?? If not, wow.

((((jealous of his bouncy hair!!!!!!!!))))

35. I went to look at the video of Clay Aiken and what comes up is Britney leaving the deposition. Appropriate. The Britney train wreck is much more worthy of tabloid TMZ's time than a great singer and entertainer making their debut in a popular Broadway show attending by many of his fans. To TMZ - LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE and LEAVE CLAY AIKEN ALONE!

36. I really like Clay Aiken.
He is talented and above all a nice person.
I wish people would leave him alone about this whole gay thing.
He is not gay.
He is just a decent person who has delt well with fame and fortune.
I guess it would be more interesting if the tabloids, TMZ, and other media outlets could find something wrong with him.
But you can't.
Clay congrats on Spamalot!!! You deserve it. I hope I'll have an opportunity to see the show, too bad it's all the way in New York!
The show will be a success.
And no, not all Claymates are forty plus.
Kelly Rippa - ugh, she's the one who will be out of a job real soon. I bet she still regrets what she said about Clay. It will haunt the remainder of her career. They should let Clay guest-host Regis & Kelly. Without Kelly.

39. Im a Clay fan, and Im 32yrs old....I think he looks great, and gay or not..the guy can really sing!

40. Yes, Spamalot is a ridiculous, crude, over the top comedy. Don't you know anything about Monty Python?? It is overacted and raunchy and HILARIOUS. I'm also a fan of Aikens. He's a nice guy and that seems to bother some of you. Don't worry Richard PIerce, Aiken isn't gay so you have Harv all to yourself.

Posted at 5:43PM on Jan 21st 2008 by Richard Pierce is gay

41. OMG I hope that Kathy Griffen saw this....

42. I'm 73 - that's middle-aged if I live to be 146. lol I love Clay, he's an amazing talent and a funny guy.

43. For a small guy he has a super-sized tool. I caught a glimpse of him geting undressed in the locker room at LA Fitness and was in awe! Seems that some people have it all.

Sure you did buzzbomber. First, Clay's fans know he would never be at a fitness club, lol. He hates exercising. Second, "for a small guy?". Aiken is 6'1" in his stocking feet.

44. Why do you Dislike Clay so much??? Clay is a Good Man, He has establish a Non- Profit Organizatin Bubel/Aiken IN 2003 to help and aid children with Metal disablities and in 2004 was Appointed an ambassador for UNICEF.
CLAY is very Gifted & Muti-Talented Singer & entertainer & a Comic Actor in his Debut role as Sir Robin in Spamalot.
I have already seen this show twice. I thought your comments was very Trashy and you probably didn't even see the show.
We Need more People in this world like Clay Aiken..
