Creative Editing 101: How Media Dolts Dupe the Public

So now we have the TMZ Fox Affiliate with their own attempt at getting a little publicity for themselves at Clay Aiken's expense. I think it's just one unsavory employee but it's still a reflection on the station and the network, in my opinion. According to first reports hitting the internet, a couple of local talents were "bumped" from a concert because Clay wanted to sing an extra song. Well, after a couple of people checked it out they discovered that the concert had the same set list and ran about the same amount of time as the others except for the couple of concerts where there were strict time constraints at the venue and Clay left out one of his own songs rather than cut the orchestra's time short. Hmmmmm... doesn't sound divaish to me. We also found out the local talents at his last concert were NOT "bumped" by Clay Aiken.

Someone actually asked a couple of questions and got some honest answers from Ms. Crawford of the Greensboro Symphony and they are as follows:

1_ Greensboro Symphony was hired by a promoter to be the orchestra for Clay Aiken

2_ The promoter informed the Symphony that we needed to prepare a 50 minute first half

3_Although we protested and said it was too long and people were coming to hear Clay, we were still requested to prepare a first half. This was also included in the rider sent by Aiken management.

4_ After checking with several orchestras, we prepared both a 50 minute and 30 minute first half.

5_ Due to our contracts with musicians, we are not allowed to perform something without a rehearsal, if it has not been performed within 30 days.

6_ We were told that we would only have about 15 minutes to rehearse. We informed promoter we would be performing pieces from our Holiday Concert so we would not need much rehearsal time. Our Holiday concert is mostly singing. We informed promoter we would have singers and e-mailed the program

7_ We received an e-mail from Community Theater asking if the 2 Triad Idol singers could perform on concert. They had performed with us in October at our education concerts. We checked with promoter and were given the green light to invite them to perform WITH the Symphony not WITH Clay Aiken.

8_ Once rehearsal began, Aiken management asked that we not perform any non-Holiday songs. We only had orchestra charts for the Triad Idols for 2 songs and they were non-Holiday.

9_ We told the 2 Triad Idol singers, we would need to cancel their songs. We still wanted to include them in the concert and we asked Aiken 'MANAGEMENT' if they could lead the Christmas Song sing-along. Aiken management was very gracious and said this would be fine along with the little girl singing the Hippo song. When we told the Triad idol singers, they seemed very glad to still be part of the show. Throughout the evening, they did not indicate they were unhappy.

10_ We cannot control what people do in order to gain 15 minutes of fame. We do not believe in feeding a media frenzy over nothing.

~~~

Now the young man comes forward and tattles on whomever did the interview and here are the pertinent admissions:

"Well, I was on the news Fri. before the concert and Fox 8 was expecting me to be on stage Sat., and I wasn't!!! So they called me Wed. @ 9:27 AM and asked me what happened!!! And all I did was answer honestly!!! It is not my fault that not everything of my 45 min. interview was put on the news!!! So all you people saw was what was against Clay!!! You people need to understand that all I did was answer questions!!! "
~~~

Oh, we understand quite well but what the young man doesn't understand is Clay Aiken had NOTHING to do with this set of circumstances. This was between/among the Greensboro Symphony, the promoter, the Community Theater representative who sent the e-mail, the Triad Idols, and Clay's MANAGEMENT who wanted to keep with the Seasonal Songs because it was a CHRISTMAS CONCERT........HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Clay Aiken doesn't even enter the picture...probably because he was still asleep when the decision was made and it was made by whomever told the young Idols... who, according to the above, still made an appearance leading in the singing of a.. ummmm... Seasonal Song.

My heart goes out to the youngsters who got a taste of show biz. Major acts have been "bumped" by major shows because they ran longer than planned with other guests. These major stars that are "bumped" often spend hundreds on flight, taxi, and hotel accommodations only to be asked to come back at a later date. It's tough for anyone to have to suck it up when you're looking forward to sharing a spotlight; the show must go on and that's just what happened.

Perhaps a certain interviewer should have had a little more maturity in his thinking and should not have subjected a 15 year old to "Creative Editing" consequences...which I'm sure he (the interviewer) was counting on. It happens everytime an unsavory person (in my opinion) has an unsavory agenda.

Mr. V and TMZ, shame on you! Would you like beers to go with that egg on your faces?

Comedian Clay Aiken

Don't you just love his snark?

Usually I'm frantic for the downloads of Clay's performances from the wonderful Clack Goddesses but this Christmas Tour has provided us with some of the best off-the-cuff comedy that puts the likes of Conads NoNads, Leno and other professional comedians to shame. They have writers but our guy needs none. The natural connection and affection between Clay and his fans allows for enough material to keep him and us in stitches forever. The difference between his type of humor and the scripted kind is that Clay can poke fun at himself and us without being hurtful. We adore him for his many quirks (he so knows) and he's proven 10 times over that he loves our quirkiness as well.

What a smart man! Clay has taken the sting out of the next bit of bird cage fodder allegedly coming to a grocery store near you. We've seen the post elsewhere from a gal claiming that Clay is the father of her "love child" from his college days in Charlotte. The comedy of this error is that he doesn't know this person (nor does anyone else) so he had no problem making jokes about this Not-a-Story during his Christmas Not-a-Tour. Yet another "in your face" by the King of Snark.

What I have heard that is NOT so funny (and I can't remember where I saw this) is that someone is angry enough to try tracking down who or where the photo of the little boy came from for the purpose of reporting the parent(s) to Children's Services for using an innocent child in this tabloid manner. It would be sad if someone is using their own child or if someone "borrowed" the child from innocent, unsuspecting parents who might be implicated in this latest scam.

Back to my CLACK!

IT'S THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND CLAY IS SINGING

First thing's first! Thank you all for your heartfelt condolences on the passing of my Aunt. Something like this is hard enough to take but when tragedy strikes during the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season it casts a giant shadow over what should be a celebration. I have been so grateful for the support and lifting of spirits by my fellow Clay Friends on this blog and the private blog. Thanks to Art and everyone else for bringing links to some beautiful montages and to Calico for creating her own and to those who entertained us with the "Ripacrite" photos and Youtubes. Some had me laughing until I peed my pants and those laughs were much needed by us all.

Now comes the excitement of the NotaChristmasTour. What will Clay wear? Will his hair be long and feathery or will it be trimmed a little? Will he have bangs or will his hair be swept to the side? What socks will he surprise us with? Will he be wearing a T-shirt or 10?

WHO CARES, RIGHT? Clay Aiken is back on the Road. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLAY!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SOOOOOOO LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

It's the beginning of the Holiday Season and I plan on taking a break from all this pettiness for a few days.

I'm going to celebrate life this Thanksgiving though it's an especially meloncholy one for me. I'm going to celebrate the excitement and happiness I feel when Clay Aiken sings, talks and looks into the camera with those sparkly eyes and big smile.

I'm going to celebrate the fact that both my parents are still here and they are still healthy; however, the reality of life has hit me like a ton of bricks today as I reached a grieving stage after the initial shock at the loss of my Aunt two nights ago. She was a fiesty redhead with freckles and a very snarky attitude. She was loving and kind and giving and never had an unkind thing to say about anyone. I will miss her terribly.

I've reached the point of anger in grievance. My family will be feeling a terrible hurt for a long time. I don't understand why my Aunt is gone and those who inflict hurt through lies, deception and just plain evil are allowed to breathe.

Was Kelly Ripa's Public Attack on Clay Planned??????

Judging by a comment that I rejected, someone is indicating that it was just part of the year long plan to Smear Clay Aiken. Makes you wonder what JP's and Perez's buddy, Howard Stern, told Kelly over the weekend.

TURN THE BEAT AROUND

You know what? Let's turn this around and celebrate what's coming up in the near future. We have TV appearances and a set of Christmas Concerts to look forward to with mention of a tour in the spring..... lots and lots of Clack.

There's been enough misery from this MESS and those who choose to be miserable and make others miserable will get their just rewards. It can't come soon enough.

WELL, LOOKY HERE!!!!!!

This just arrived in my email:

OC,

I meant to write to you the other day but I got tied up.... I know this was the talk on the asswipe's blog for a few days and I'm sorry I didn't write sooner.

The evening that Paulass accused Clay of meeting Matt in DC, I was there that night and I actually got to shake Clay's hand before he got on his bus. There is no way he was rushing anywhere because he took his sweet time coming out of the venue. I know because we were freezing that night and watching the clock. He finally came out with Jerome around 12:20 am and the bus did not roll out till maybe 12:45 am. The bus left for Baltimore which is about another 70 minute drive from D.C.

I was at the venue in Baltimore the next night also and talked with Maka, who is William Joseph's friend and bodyguard. I talked to him in great length about William and Clay and he happened to mention that they were all exhausted when they rolled into Baltimore early that morning. Clay was sleeping when the bus pulled up to the hotel and had to be wakened. So much for that asswipe's story of rushing to meet Matt. They did not stay in Baltimore that night either. They drove directly to the next venue. The only free night that Clay had was the night before he played in D.C.....but Butty boy made an error and picked the wrong night to set him up with Matt.

Btw, someone had posted that Clay was spotted at Bathesda Naval Hospital the day of his concert in D.C. He visited the wounded from Iraq but did not want the publicity. It just so happens that one of the nurses knew who he was and her sister was a fan.



It's things like this that the fans know which makes sh... stuff coming from JP and the swamp just another lie.

I also just returned from Constitution Hall and haven't had a chance to read the cellcert, but I will say that true to the DC phenomenon tonight's production was unique. There is something about DC that every time he is here something strange happens. The fact that he did not sing the encore GN was so unreal because we were totally unprepared when the houselights went up. Most of the front rows just sat there stunned.
The good thing about tonight was that the concert was fabulous and he did greet about 15-20 people at the buses. It was about 20 degrees out side but he went rapidly through the crowd in his dark blue hooded jacket and apologized for not being able to sign autographs, but shook hands and wished everyone a Merry Christmas.

Lies, Lies with a Little Help from His Friends

Just heard the latest about a certain blog and a certain hook-up. The holes were punched in this story while I was sleeping; nothing changes. Impossible date for Clay... again. An OLD story that was posted on PH in February to rile the fans. A photo straight off a website and the address is the address of a venue.

Well, that was certainly boring but here are some interesting tidbits that went with the same hole punching discussion:

"Jewel on Taylor Hicks:

'Wow...there is just no way that man isn't just a leeetle bit gay. And if he isn't, he will be when I'm done with him' "

Way to go Bina Bitch!
~~~~~

"One of the OC members, Beachbum, just board suicided and admitted to helping JP and admitted that she has not been a fan for a long time. She outed herself and anna and said they've been helping JP along with other OCers that are still members but she wouldn't name them."

Source: Anonymous

I would give credit to the person that caught this before it was deleted from the open forum at the OC and moved to the private forum...but nahhhhh. Nobody should become a target of the swamp rats and rags.

Oh, and JP. Let's not go blaming Clay's fans AGAIN for the foul language and name calling that only happens on YOUR blog. By YOUR own admission when you shut down the first time, the culprit(s) is/are your own supporters. Just to name a few: Groucho, a Kelly Clarkson fan; Emach, a Ruben Studdard fan; Tiffany, your fan.

...And here's an excerpt from your new blog, JP:

"Clay told Matt that he would find an excuse to cut the show short that evening so that the two could get together earlier."

Groucho (Kelly Clarkson's stalker and your personal "insider") already laid claim to this show being cut short on his once upon a time blog, Wimbletoncootie. He claimed to have put a "HIT" out on Clay for people to flash away with their cameras even though flashes weren't allowed because his very light grey green beauties are very sensitive to the light especially bright flashes.

Way to F*CK UP, Asswipe.

Real Friends: How About That Sports Fans!

Sometimes people on message boards agree to disagree. One of those disagreements happened the other day and it became a little heated. What happens when someone gets really riled when they're called out for dropping innuendo and running and suspected of being a "mole"? They spill their guts and another piece of the puzzle falls into place. Can't tell you how the whole story unfolded but here are the best parts:
~~~~~
"I thought you guys would want to know why the Enquirer may be printing stories about Clay now and then. Did any of you know for a fact that John and Alan are such good friends? I doubt you did. .............

Alan and JP are actually real friends and it isn't because of "tabloid fodder"."
~~~~~

I beg to differ with the last statement....but then if it's not because of "tabloid fodder" I would be inclined to believe ... maybe.... butt buddies?

Clay Aiken: The Entertainer

While working online today I was listening to my wonderful CD of Lurve Songs and found myself closing my eyes and swaying to the music. I don't remember anyone else besides Barbra Streisand connecting to the lyrics and feeling the music so passionately. There have been many great ones and Clay will always seem a part of that legacy; I can feel it. When we saw him on AI-2 many of us felt we were watching the birth of a legend.

I recalled the story written by a fan meeting one of Clay's former girlfriends outside a radio station in Raleigh when Clay and Amanda were visiting and Clay was to pick out the best sign. The fan asked the former girlfriend what Clay is like and her response was that Clay is very romantic and passionate. She then told the fan to not ask for anymore information along those lines. Seems Clay gravitates toward young ladies with fine character like himself.

What is it about Clay and his music? We know about the "Mandate" now and we know that he turned the project into something timeless and special in spite of all the hurdles. He didn't just jump over them, he kicked them out of his way to give us a masterpiece full of that same romance and passion.

So then I sat here and wondered further why it is that Clay grabs me and won't let go. I think I've got it! Clay sings like a man. He sings like a man who loves. He SOUNDS like a man and he sounds like an intelligent man when he sings. The songs he co-wrote are better than the rest because of his maturity and understanding of what music should be. It's him grabbing onto us because perhaps he feels that we're his, all his. He said it with song. He's right! There's nobody like him and never will be again. He's ours, all ours.

So why the let down from his PR team? One has to wonder if it's due to the fact that he was, he is and he always will be of such fine character inspite of liars and extortionists in the guise of recording execs who want to keep their hands in the pockets of kids they discovered and launched into stardom. Clay is a REAL MAN. Asswipes come and go; they're disposable. TPTB have done everything they can to bring him down to their level and he silently thumbs his nose at them.

Clay won't sing about raunchy sex, he won't drop his drawers or yank a woman's clothes off. He can get downright sexy in concert because...well...he's downright sexy. There's the difference between Clay and other pop artists. He can really sing, he can enterpret, he can entertain, he can be sexy without trying because of his voice, demeaner, his gorgeous looks and moves you can only be born with. He doesn't have to play the part as other male pop artists do.

Whassa matter RCA? Couldn't you get him to act like a teen humping his bedpost in a frenzy?

The Difference Between Right and Wrong

There has been a big game going now for 10 months plus. The Pickle is just the latest arrival and he's everybody's pawn. Emach and Soulful Ruben, DirectorSandi and the KCE and Gr8White & Random Thoughts of Cafe Allegro have been at it far longer than any Gherkin. The DIFFERENCE in these types of people and Clay's fans is that we do our best to do our best; they do their best to show everyone their worst.

Clay's fans have been fooled for a while into thinking that someone (Insane Bastard) had knowledge of Pickle and his games but it was a smoke screen devised by people who have supported him but who would do him in without a second thought. Someone has been borrowing this character's old comments from a private forum and substituting JP's name into them and then posting them on Perez Hilton's site and the blogs which sprang up in support of Clay and the TRUTH. In the last couple of days the IB comments copied and posted here by anonymous posters were twisted so badly that the red flag went up and some investigating behind the scenes took place. Funny how a lot of the responsive comments were coming from Canadian IPs. Since we know that the Cafe gals use a scrambler I can just about guess at who the main culprit was.

So now, here's our game. The above mentioned players from the Swamp, Tinfoil Village and Cootieville are no longer worthy of our time. We're taking the controls back. This is our train and you're not invited to board. You can take your lies, innuendo, and criminal acts and shove it all! You are unworthy of the air you breathe, in my opinion. As vile as I believe JP is, I still wouldn't have done what one or more of you tried to do to him. You all deserve each other and nothing else.

Hot Boy + Hot Girl = SPARKS

As we know, some lucky fans got to spend close to 3 hours staring at Mr. Green Eyes who was staring at one lovely Tyra Banks. I got permission from one of the fans to let me copy a few tidbits from her summary for us to moon over. Judging from the recaps that she and others have been giving, I cannot wait to see this show.

Enjoy:
~~~
"Who knows what will make it on air but the taping can only be described as two hours of looking into Clay's living room window while he and someone he just met fell for each other.

OMG ! Those two were flirting like you won't believe. I honestly would not be surprised if they see each other privately after this show. They were freaking on fire.

Tyra and Clay spent the whole time sitting on a couch together. Early in the interview they spoke of contact lenses and Tyra wanted to see his - yep she got close enough to see his contact lenses and whammo from that point on she was butter.

They hugged, touched each others legs, giggled and otherwise made us jealous."

There was more but we wouldn't want to put all the spoilers out here. You get the picture: Boy, Girl, HAWT!

Wikipedia: A Gay Tabloid?

One of the Clay Aiken Fan Forums that I'm a member of found the following new tidbit on Clay's bio at Wikipedia:

"Clay is now openly gay, and lives with his life partner - Richard Loblaw, a licensed dermatologist - in a residential area of Sacramento, CA."

Of course, we know that Clay is living platonically (snort) with Kristy Barnes, female, at his new home in Raleigh, NC. We also know that he is living openly as a straight man; has been, is, and always will be.

My curiosity piqued in the past when references in Clay's Wikipedia bio were made to the MESS. I discovered that some esteemed fans contribute to Wikipedia and I also found that some NOT so esteemed fans contribute to Wikipedia. I asked myself, "WHY would reference be made to the scandalous tabloid lies and why would the Purple Gherkin have a bio in Wikipedia?" It got answered very quickly: The owner/founder of Wikipedia is gay and someone from the OC is a contributor.

Out of curiosity this morning I typed "Wikipedia Gay Porn Stars" in my browser and wouldn't ya know I'd find these entries:

"List of gay porn stars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"

"Gay Porn Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"

"Kyle Bradford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"

Well, these were just 3 of the entries. There are 9 PAGES of this garbage and when your child or grandchild uses Wikipedia online as a reference in the future they may just stumble upon some gay scandal reference in the bio of anyone they have to do a report on. Perhaps one of these gay porn references may be sandwiched alphabetically between what the child is REALLY looking for and the child may get curious.

In my opinion Wikipedia isn't interested in screening out what's not the truth. Like other gay gossips, it appears they leave in the innuendo (lies) as if it has merit. I know that some contributors have argued the point that it's not in anyone's best interest to leave the lies in the bios but the efforts were futile when it comes to gay issues and a certain cutesexysingerboywhohappenstobestraight. I keep asking "Why? What's the real point?" My mind keeps answering, "I think it's YE OLDE GAY AGENDA."

Parents and Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, Guardians and Sitters: Time to reintroduce younger family members and charges to YE OLDE FUNK AND WAGNALLS where FACTS take priority over gossip.

A BOY NAMED SUE

Polly Graf said...
John's latest blog -

For months Claymates have been calling me a liar and a fraud. They have concocted elaborate stories and have posted false information about me. I have requested they remove blogs and comments that make such false accusations and they have ignored or laughed at me. Yesterday it was ruled that posting such messages about a person is defamatory.

If you would like to see the Claymates be made examples I am requesting information on the following screen names from the Clay's Equalizer blog. oh crap, wru, truth rules, polly graf, wombatrus, yeahthat, and linda. I am also looking for information on chexxxy and WSCA. By information I mean real names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. Please do not post their information on my blog, but kindly email it to me. You can set up a new email address if you are concerned about privacy in order to send me the information. Also if you are aware of any site that are writing things that are defamatory please send me that information as well.

*There's more that Polly Graf copied but you get the idea.

This morning I had this threat in my pending comments:

Anonymous said...
You're going down bitch! I just sent JP your real name and address, and he's going to sue your fat ass for defamation. That'll teach you to mess with me you bitch!

12:50 AM

~~~
To which I answer: Hey, Bitch! Wake up! He can't sue people for telling the truth nor does he DARE sue because that would mean a countersuit. This is where we have the option of implicating in his "fernids in high places"... you know, the ones funding this smear campaign.... the ones who made the mistake of hiring someone who is ratshit batshit crazy. Exposing his lies and his part in this smear campaign does not make US the liars. It doesn't work like that.

..And you, you little prickette, just became fodder for the police and FBI. Do your parents know how you spend your computer time? They will shortly.

~~~~~~

So here we have it! Another freaking threat and hit list by a Green barrette who thinks intelligent adult women are easily intimidated simply because they are women. How embarrassing it must be for him to constantly be beaten down by these same women.

A liar and a criminal is exactly what you appear to be, Buttboy.
~~~~~
I submit this into evidence as Exhibit BR-549 along with this late entry which just came in:

Linda said...
Hey ladies = thanks for the heads-up about buttplug's threats towards us.

My crack team of attorneys and I find the whole thing quite comical.

Yo, asswipe - I'm gonna explain this to you once and once only in plain english cause you wouldn't understand the legal aspects if your life depended on it - oh wait - it just might!!

YOU HAVE NO FREAKING CASE!!!! You made yourself a "celebrity" by going to the press, doing interviews and getting things in print about your alleged (yes alleged cause it NEVER HAPPENED!!) tryst with one cutesexysingerguy.

Now that you are a "celebrity" of sorts, you have lost the opportunity to sue us because of a little thing you may have heard of called the CONSTITUTION.

There are exceptions to defamation rules for politicians and celebrities and, to a limited extent, for people who have become the subjects of a public controversy. These people, because they are in the public eye, are expected to have tougher skins and can only be defamed if it is proven that the false statements were made with a reckless disregard for the truth--for example, a website owner posting what he knows to be false information about a celebrity's sex life.

Do you know that that means??? Huh? Do ya? Do ya?

It means you can't sue us because we don't do it with disregard for the truth, unlike you. We do it because we have the truth on OUR side and you don't.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, asshole.

Control, My Ass

The main purpose of Pickle's blog is CONTROL.

* To incite hatred amongst the Clay Fans, turning them against Clay as well as each other, trying to convince the fans that he is a victim that was used against his will.

* To try to convince the fans that Clay is gay when we know he's not. Then further calling Clay a hypocrite, a liar, a con, and a manipulator, borrowing from Pickle's own traits (and only the Pickle is right).

* to humiliate, and embarrass Clay and his family; pry into his private life and post titillating tid-bits of a sexual nature from a Gherkin's experiences, NOT Clay's.

* To continually criticize, bash, make fun of Clay, his voice and music and inciting others, including minors, to do so as well.

* Taking various things that Clay may say in a joking manner and posting them on his blog - not as a joke ...but as factual, twisting Clay's words and using them against him in an exaggerated manner.

* Taking things that friends and fans may say, repeating them out of context to use against Clay.

* Using archived files and exaggerating the content to use against Clay.

Purple Pecker has an agenda: to destroy Clay Aiken. Pickle claims to have honor and integrity but has never displayed any signs of it on his blog. The majority of Clay's fans are strong minded and not easily led - but some fans are more vulnerable and may be convinced to turn against Clay - and this is what Purple Gherkin hopes to accomplish with his blog. There is too much to write here - but even with just this.....I still feel sorry for Gherkin as he is not a happy man. But how can you find happiness at the expense of so many???

BLOGGER or BOOGER? That is the Question!

***Edited to ADD: Thank you very much to whomever just posted a comment as me using my real name because now I will be the first to use the link below along with all the proof of how you got my name. Do my partners want to go in and see the post?****

Seems JP has gone a little overboard suggesting or allowing suggestions to further assassinate the Character of a certain cutesingerboy. He's also posting photos of fans again with someone offering up the identities of other fans who try to counter his lies with the truth.

He likes to threaten women because he's pissed off that he's not one. This all kind of reminds me of the night on the old FOC Blog where JP said he had "fernids in high places" and told a male blogger, "I think there's a bullet with your name on it."

To the swamp, tinnies, and roaches: this is the type of crazy bastard you, the tabloids, and the gay tabloid bloggers have encouraged and thrust upon us. Don't expect us to thank you.

For those who have seen your photos, photos of your children, or your screen name mentioned in the context of offering up or requesting personal identification to or from JP or anyone on his blog, below is a link you might want to save.

American Media Inc: Beginning of the End

We all know by now that American Media, Inc. is the umbrella company that publishes the tabloids as well as some reputable publications that concentrate on issues regarding people's health and well being. There seems to be a contradiction of support here. On one hand they support magazines that promote something good and on the other hand they promote something that has become a threat to the safety of celebrities and, in the instance of Clay Aiken's internet fanbase, a threat to the safety of private citizens. How is this possible? Easy! They lend credibility to a scam artist by printing lies and passing them off as truth thus unleashing an already dangerous person on us and making him feel untouchable.

The Purple Gherkin has repeatedly assaulted the Clay Nation but since Clay has come forward to denounce tabloid rumors, thus calling the Pickle a liar, I feel that it's time to take the gloves off and land some solid blows of our own. We know that Pickle has put out "hit lists" to gather personal info on the more vocal fans and he has harassed and threatened some of them by phone. If any new readers or media wants verification, contact the Harnett County Sheriff's Department in North Carolina where numerous complaints have been filed against John Paulus, a cyberbully and cyber terrorist extroardinaire (and delusional stalker).

Just how involved is American Media, Inc? According to John Paulus's hints, they seem quite involved. Food for thought below:

From the previous blog:

"I just wanted to give you a little heads up. There have been takers for the $10,000 offer and other guys have come forward. I would be paying close attention in the coming weeks. ;-)
Publish Reject (John Paulus) 9:12 PM"

To which I stated that now we know he must have some money to sue for but his answer was this:

" John Paulus said...
Oh crap it's not me that is paying the 10,000 for the story. I was just that facilitator.

10:11 PM "
**

So who is doing the facilitating? Let's go back in time to some threats left on this blog site that he deleted but which fortunately go to the blogger's email address and I saved mine in Word as well:

"I am blaming the Claymates. BTW you may want to write to Abutterfield@nationalenquirer.com I hear he's the one working up something. I mean what do I know since those people at the National Enquirer think I'm "nuts" and they "dissed" me.

I have a suggestion how about you give the NE all the information you have on me and let them expose me? You would think that the media would embrace your "evidence" about me being a liar. Can it be because the real crazy ones and out of touch ones are some of you? Psst here's a conspiracy for you- did you know one of the VERY top guys, no pun intended, is a gay guy over at America Media?

Then this one a little later was just part of his diatribe but since it's the most telling....:

"I don't think you really want to get the gay boys upset.... Be careful ladies..."

The truth is that Butterfield had been contacted a long time ago by one of the fans offering proof of Clay's innocence in this scam but Butterfield wasn't interested. I, too, contacted David Perel and an officer at American Media, Inc. and was ignored. Seems they quit returning emails unless you have a lie you want to sell.

There it is...the beginning of the end of this MESS. My gloves are off! I'll be CCing Alan Butterfield, David Perel, Executive Offices at American Media, Inc. and possibly sponsors. Are they the ones financing Mr. Pickle's finds. Are those supposedly coming forward really JP's former hookups? You know how he likes to use his own life experiences to create a lie.

John Paulus Threatens ClayMates! AGAIN!!!!!

Below is a threat that the Purple Gherkin left on some blogs tonight and .. well... we thought turn about is fair play. Here is the comment that WombatsRUS copied for me since I rejected mine:

"I just wanted to give you a little heads up. There have been takers for the $10,000 offer and other guys have come forward. I would be paying close attention in the coming weeks. ;-)
Publish Reject (John Paulus) 9:12 PM

Publish

Reject

Select: All None

9:31 PM "

~~~~~~~~~~

AND NOW.... ClayMates offer a reward to anyone coming forward with varifiable proof of John Paulus's part in this smear campaign against Clay Aiken. You must also have varifiable proof of who his backers are and why this is being done. Provide a list, to your best knowledge, as to who all is involved.

AND THIS JUST IN FROM JOHN PAULUS HIMSELF....YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST, FOLKS!

THE BIGGER PICTURE

(Edited to note important message at bottom)

So here we are going into to the 10th month of this MESS and what has it boiled down to? John Paulus: Better known as the Purple Gherkin because he photoshopped a bi-racial man's penis onto himself and wasn't good at hitting the target or getting the color exactly right. He also used a yellow, veiny and wrinkled one as well. Both the photos were used in his online hooker profiles along with a photo of his puckering strings with bulls' nuts dangling. Had anyone taken a good look at the photo Perez had on his site calling attention to JP's crotch you would have noticed that he was dressed to the right and the real thing was about the size of my thumb. He's definitely no Clay Aiken in looks, character or attributes.

After visiting the swamp, all I see is a bunch of nonsensical chattering from the Ruben and Kelly fans so I'm inclined to suggest a change of name to the Chimp Farm. Come to think of it, JP and some of his supporters do look a little chimpy.

They are blathering on about the webcams so I thought I'd put up a reminder to visit our friends at We Support Clay Aiken where the badly photochopped jobs were turned to mush along with the fake IMs:

http://www.wesupportclayaiken.blogspot.com

*Equalizer Note: To all Clay fans who read this blog.. NOW is the time to STOP posting at JP's blog. Read and bring your rants here or the private forums. Trust Us!

Butterfield is Such a Card! Or is that Such a Tool?

Academic freedom, The National Enquirer and U
Issue date: 10/23/03 Section: Opinion

Page 1 of 1

On Oct. 15, students in Craig Wirth's public relations class was so lucky as to have Alan Butterfield grace them with his presence. Butterfield was invited to provide a "Hollywood publicist" inside perspective to the class.

For those unfamiliar, Butterfield is a reporter for the National Enquirer-yes, the supermarket tabloid-and is the one who "broke" the gay sex-ring story about Ed Smart and several of his brothers. The story was based on information obtained from unnamed sources. Later it became known that some unnamed sources were paid $10,000 each. In the end, the information proved to be false and two reporters, Kevin Cantera and Michael Vigh of The Salt Lake Tribune, were fired due to their involvement in the fiasco.

Several professors in the department of communication were angered by Butterfield's visit, and rightly so.

There is no question as to the fundamental importance that freedom of thought and freedom of the press have. These liberties are basic tenets of our nation. Indeed, the United States relies heavily on the marketplace of ideas that results from the exercise of such liberties.

However, it is important that such liberties be placed into context and not be applied recklessly. The liberties afforded citizens in the Constitution are not given with an accompanying free license of application. Unfortunately, that seems to be the assumption made by Butterfield and many of his supporters.

Allowing Alan Butterfield to speak to a public relations class, and justifying such in the name of intellectual freedom, is analogous to The Wall Street Journal printing neo-Nazi manifestos in the name of freedom of the press. Just as The Wall Street Journal has a responsibility to print news and not destructive or inflammatory rhetoric, institutions of higher learning have the responsibility to teach students in a nondestructive manner.

Obviously, drawing the lines between what is and what is not destructive is an exercise in subjectivity, to say the least. Yet it does not seem appropriate to bring in a guest speaker who makes a living telling lies and exploiting people. The world of journalism needs to be built on integrity, not sensationalism.

Yes, tabloid journalism is part of the American journalistic landscape. But so are racism, sexism, classism and other deplorable ideologies. Needless to say, Larry Flynt will not be asked to speak to photography students, so why should Alan Butterfield speak to communication students?

**Compliments of Ticked.
~~~~~~~~

And here is one of the best posts of the day so far after a few reviewed both the January NE Article and the newest one:

TRUTH RULES said.....

".....This article calls into question the prior article's statement, quoted by stalkerboy, that Clay had already come out to his mother and close friends early in 2005.

I love it when one liar outs another liar."
~~~~~~~~

**I LURVE IT TOO. The new informant outs NE and Butterfield outs JP and we "OUTED" them all as liars months ago. To them all I would just say.... When Karma comes a knocking, bend over.

TRANSLATION 101

For all the stalkers, male and female, who made an intense effort to ruin a decent person simply because you couldn't get in his pants or make him something he's not:

HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU !!!!!!!!!

For all of Kelly's and Ruben's fans who supported, promoted, financed, fed the beast and assisted with the tabloid scams with your made up stories and your photoshopped webcams:

UP YOURS !!!!!!

All week and especially in today's 45 minutes with Larry King, in case you didn't understand superior intelligence, Clay has your number and he ain't dialing.

13 Freaking Times and 2 for Good Measure

...and Clay put his own size 13s down to say NO MORE. If people STILL can't understand this then I'll be happy to take off my double-barrelled sling shot, put bolders in the cups and perform a double lobotomy...and if that doesn't work, the Equalizer Bloggers are creating the NEW DICTIONARY FOR IDIOTS so they can look up two simple words: NOT GAY.

#1 – Star Mag - 04/26/03

Star magazine reports that despite the constant rumors that he’s gay, 'American Idol' finalist Clay Aiken insists otherwise. An insider says, "Finally, after weeks of wondering, a couple of the girls on the show decided to confront him and ask point-blank: 'Are you gay, or what?' Clay didn’t hesitate. He insisted that he is straight."

#2 - Rolling Stone – 07/10/03:

Some people, for example, seem to think that because he is slender, has long, fluttering eyelashes, and currently doesn’t have a girlfriend, he must be gay.
...This kind of stuff seems to amuse Aiken more than it upsets him.

"One thing I’ve found of people in the public eye," Aiken says, "either you’re a womanizer or you’ve got to be gay. Since I'm neither one of those, people are completely concerned about me. They’re like, 'What are you then?' I’m sure it has to do with being raised by women. I wouldn’t want somebody gawking at my mom and grabbing her butt and catcalling at her, trying to hook up with her at a bar. I’m not saying I’m not going to look. Hello! But you know what I mean?"

He’s also a good sport and fun to spar with.

"So, what’s your position on pre- marital sex?"

"My own personal position is that it’s much more special to wait for the person who you’re married to."

"Are you a virgin?"

"Well, this morning, while getting my manicure and pedicure, I watched a biography of Britney Spears on TV. In it, she said that she regrets ever saying anything about it. So, I hate to repeat myself, but: I think it’s much more special to wait for the person who you’re married to."

"Masturbation?"

"Are you kidding me? I hope that’s a question and not a proposition! Anyway, I don’t think it makes you go blind."

"And you know that from personal experience?"

"You stop right now!"

#3 - Prime Time Live with Diane Sawyer - 10/09/03

Diane: In Rolling Stone he hinted he’s a virgin and denied what’s asked him over and over again. Is he gay? He says no.

Clay: "Somebody asked it right after the finale of the show, in the press conference with Ruben and I. I think the problem is people don’t know who...what to do with me. They don’t know anything about me. I’m not completely blind and stupid. I’ve got a southern accent which people say is...uh..."

Diane: All southern people are gay...

Clay: "Well, that and English people, too."

Diane: Oh, well that...I mean...

Clay: "I have some very effeminate qualities, you know, I try to make sure I’m clean. I was raised by my mom and my two grandmothers really for a long time. I’m not completely blind to it. I...I have gotten used to people asking the question. They think, ok, he doesn’t drink; he doesn’t go out and have sex with...with every woman that he sees. I think it’s high time there’s somebody who represents people who aren’t gay, but doesn’t sleep around with everybody...you know. If I’m supposed to carry the banner for all the nerds in the world I’m fine with that, too, so..."

#4 - J14 – Fall 2003

(under photo)Q: True or False...that Clay Aiken is gay? A: False

Clay insists he is not gay, but he understands why people think he is.

There are rumors. Speculation. Gossip. But Clay wants people to know: He is not gay. Though the American Idol runner-up says he understands why people might think he is gay, since he has some "effeminate qualities," he is definitely attracted to women. Not that he’s currently dating anyone. "I’m so busy right now," he says. "I don’t have time." He does, however, "need someone to go to award shows with." But the 25 year-old singer doesn’t consider himself to be a heartthrob. When women throw their underwear on stage, "I laugh, right there in front of them," he says. "How can you not laugh?" Clay thinks the idea of anyone thinking he’s alluring is "frightening. I try not to think of myself as a sex symbol. I think it’s kind of hilarious. I think of myself as geeky and gangly and dorky and kind of hicky from North Carolina."

#5 – Elle Magazine – 09/06/03 - Allison Glock

"...Ruben always jokes with me that I could have any woman out there. He says, ‘You need to hook up with somebody before you leave the tour.’ But I try and explain that that’s not what this is about for me. The reason women like me, I think, is because I don’t threaten them. I realize Ruben’s right, I probably could"—he pauses, blushes—"you know, but I respect women more than that."
He wrinkles his brow, and then shakes his head. "I am extremely flattered. There are some gorgeous women who are, quote, in love with me. But I think taking advantage of that is wrong..."

...Besides, Aiken is a man who takes sex seriously. "I was raised by my mother and grandmothers, and a lot of what I am is because I wanted to be different from my birth father. He was a womanizer. When I had to go visit him, there would be a different woman over every time. I thought that was really tacky."

When it’s suggested that not many young men would forgo voluntary, anonymous sex with beautiful, knickerless girls, Aiken shrugs.
"If anything, women want to take care of me, to mother me. I think that’s part of the reason I’ve sold a lot of records..."

...Aiken is nothing if not chivalrous. Considerate. Polite. He’s the guy who asks you questions and actually listens to the answers—and even asks follow-up questions hours later, thereby proving that he finds you worth his attention. And he notices things. Like that the empty Burger King bag is rattling at your feet on the floor of the van, so he picks it up. Or that the air conditioner is too cold, and turns it down. It’s this empathy and inherent graciousness evident in every press appearance and performance that leads many men to speculate that Aiken is gay (he has denied it) and even more women to say, Who cares?

"I don’t think people know what to do with me," Aiken says. "I’m interesting because they don’t know what to do with me..."

#6 - Reality Blurred – 01/13/05
American Idol 2

Clay Aiken won’t talk to a gay magazine, his publicist told a columnist for a gay magazine. In Next Magazine, Matt Bell writes, "We tried to get an interview with the sexually ambiguous pop star... but his publicist told us he’d ‘never talk to a gay magazine!’"

#7 - Reality Blurred – 08/30/05

Clay Aiken thinks jokes about him are "funny...half the time," but gay questions are "insulting."
Clay Aiken has a sense of humor about the jokes that often make him their target. And they’re not all that unfamiliar. "I spent years and years in middle school getting picked on, so I’m kind of used to it," he tells The Calgary Sun. "First of all, I usually don’t watch (the talk shows) and someone else will tell me about them. And, heck, half the time, I think it’s funny."

He also says that when people ask him about his sexual orientation, it’s "insulting." Jokes about him being gay are "just as insulting as when someone like you interviews me and asks a question like that, no matter how you word it," he says. But he’s also resigned himself to the insults: "It’s part of the game. You just do it."

#8 - Fly Magazine – December 2005

In other words, even after selling millions of albums and becoming one of America’s biggest pop stars, it appears that Clay Aiken is still the same lovable goof we first met three years ago. There’s something strangely comforting about that.

FM: In a position like yours, everybody’s so interested in your personal life. Suddenly I’m reading things about you, everything from stories about your childhood pets to speculation on your sexual orientation and everything in between. Does that weird you out?

CA: It’s tough. At the very beginning of the process, it’s quite a shock. You don’t understand why people are asking these things. I had a goat – who cares? And I didn’t tell anybody that. There are times that I look on the internet or read a message board and they’ll know things about me that I didn’t know. [laughs] I never told anybody that! How did they find out? So at first it’s a shock. And then later on it’s not as shocking but still upsetting. And then after a while, it’s just like having a gnat in your nose. You just want to kill it. [laughs] It becomes unfortunately a negative part of what you do, and you need to kind of live with it. But if you could get up your nose and kill it, you would do it. [laughs] It’s not so easy sometimes.

#9 - Charlotte News & Observer – December 2005
Matt Ehlers

He lost in the show's final sing-off in 2003, but the zealous fans he won assured the kind of success that makes you think of a latter-day Tom Jones without the innuendo.

All of it -- the record contract, the money, and the panty-tossing fans -- could have gone to his head. Instead, as two days on the road with him reveal, the Clay Aiken who left North Carolina three years ago as a purposeful young man on a mission has returned that same man, only with better hair and more mettle.

#10 - The News Tribune.com – 11/04/05
Ernest Jasmin

What I really wanted to know was how he felt about the people who were really mean to him – namely the likes of Conan O’Brien, "Mad TV," "Saturday Night Live" and others who have made Aiken the subject of gay jokes since he graduated from "Idol."

"A lot of times I don’t find out about these things unless I read them online," Aiken said. "I guess there’s a compliment hidden deep within there. If they weren’t talkin’ about me, I guess it would be worse, wouldn’t it? At least when people say mean things they’re admitting we’re important enough to mention."

#11 - Today’s Christian – Nov/Dec 2005
Holly Vicente Robaina

...But celebrity hasn't been all roses. He jokes that the paparazzi know his schedule better than he does. Details of his life regularly appear on newsstands and the Internet, from what he eats for breakfast (his favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch) to his bad habits (he used to bite his toenails). Speculation swirled about his sexuality. (No, he's not gay.)
[Note: A reputable magazine would not print such a strong statement without having first discussed it off the record.]

#12 - Qnotes – 02/11/06

At a press conference May 21, 2003, Aiken pointedly ignored a question from Advocate reporter Alonso Duralde: "A lot of your fan base thinks you’re gay. Any comment on that?"

According to Duralde, Aiken had no response whatsoever — he simply moved on to the next reporter for another question. "He froze me out," said Duralde.

#13 – Amazon.com

Gossip has always surrounded celebrities--and one of the most common bits is about sexuality. In the past, rumors of homosexuality have been a career-killer; that is less true today, but even so most celebrities still go out of their way to deny it.

CLAY AIKEN - Pop singer Clay Aiken has often ignored the question, but he flatly stated that he was not gay to The Rolling Stone, Primetime Live, and The Kansas City Star.

#14 - USA Today – 08/07/06 12:34 PM

Clay Fires Back!

Aiken, in a statement issued by RCA Records, said Monday...

"As a so-called 'celebrity' I have become used to scurrilous (vulgar) allegations and untruths (lies) being made about me and my work. I have always taken the path of not reacting to these matters and have accepted them as, somehow, coming with the 'job.'

#15 - GMA - Diane Sawyer 9/23/06

"For a long time you want to let everybody be a part of your life.....you know what , this is ridiculous, it doesn't matter what you say, certain people are gonna believe this, certain people are gonna believe that....I'm just not commenting anymore there's no point, I've answered before (*see 1 - 14 above). I feel like a kid who is in trouble in school and is called in, did you do this? did you cheat on that test? and, of course no, but it doesn't matter what you say." - Clay Aiken

GREAT CLAY AIKEN IN THE MORNING!!!!

NEWS FLASH !!!!!!!!

We interrupt this program to bring you the latest and greatest. "We Support Clay Aiken" has jumped back into the fight for TRUTH and JUSTICE. If you didn't get to see John Paulus's lies get busted earlier this year well here's your chance to see it.

Words cannot express how much their efforts were and are appreciated.

All we can say is THANK YOU for bringing your blog back. Here's the link to see an artist at work:

JP and Haters: Take a Suck on THIS!

Well, here we have it, folks! The little gossip queens, the little stalker queen, Cafe Allegro (main entree: Sour Grapes), and the Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard fans at Tinfoil Village who put their heads together to run a diabolical 9 month long smear campaign to stunt Clay's numbers might be in for a surprise.
~~~~~~~~
Here's the way it stacks up from the Insider site:


www.theinsideronline.com/celeb/4677/

"Crazy for Clay!

His newest CD dropped yesterday to big numbers, so how is CLAY AIKEN feeling today? He's in our studios today talking to LARA SPENCER about his latest success!

Featuring 10 cover songs from the "Idol" runner-up, plus four new tunes, Clay's latest collection has one driving theme behind it: L'amour!"
~~~~~~~~

Love is such good medicine. It's a shame the folks listed above refuse their doses; hate is so much easier in their world.

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN, DON'T THEY?

Ok, so I took a nap around 5:30PM and didn't wake up until 10:30PM and I've been reading about Paxilgate. Soooooo? So what! One of the problems that Paxil is prescribed for is anxiety and Heaven knows that this MESS has caused us all a great deal of that.

Clay has admitted that he's human (imagine that) and that he gets ill like the rest of us. So what? This seems to be an issue twisted to fit the agenda of the low lives at the Swamp, Cootieville, Tinfoil Village and the CessPool Palace of PH. I find it odd that the biggest bruhaha is coming from two little queens who wish they were taking Mydol for Cramps. Maybe a miracle will happen and they'll get their wish. Let us pray!

Clay Aiken's "A Thousand Different Ways"

Some of our bloggers wanted something a little upbeat and more celebratory. I think I found it and I borrowed it. This was taken from the Liner Notes of the new CD. It's a message to US from Clay. How is it possible to love this man more and more everyday?

***

"To My Fans: It's fitting that this album is all about love and the different ways it can be expressed. After so many opportunities I have had to be on the receiving end of such abundant love and support from you all, I am so thankful for the opportunity to try to give something that can express my gratitude and love for you. This album is yours in A Thousand Different Ways."

My Liner Note to Clay: EVERYTHING WE DO, WE DO IT FOR YOU!

HERE HE COMES AGAIN! DAYUM!!!!!!

Okay...so I was a little under the weather yesterday and I was slugging down the Pepsi, Sprite and Coca Cola to keep from yacking on my keyboard and monitor (I'm not a very good little "DoBee" (tm Romper Room) when it comes to medicine). There was something in the air and I could feel it so I just hung in there playing with all my friends poking the pickle and Perez with the truth (and BOY did it come flying out).

First was the cellcert at a few of the message boards. The numbers of members, visitors and anonymouses who were logged in proved that, except for the small handful of vile creatures that used to be fans who are posting on JP's & Tinfoil's, everyone is still here and then some. Well, KICK ME IN THE ASS! You mean JP and Groucho lied? Again?

So back to the good stuff and I won't rehash the whole cellcert. What was interesting is that when Clay Aiken was given his nice introduction at David Foster's Star Search where he was a guest judge..... the audience BLEW THE ROOF OFF the venue. Sure sounded like Clay is still hot to me.

A few pages into the cellcert someone discovered that Clear Channel had already put up the Preview streaming Clay's new CD and then we became like the statue of Lady Justice..you know.. you have scales dangling from your hands and you don't know which way to tip them so you end up streaming WHILE reading then beating a path back here to give your report on either or both.

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ALL NIGHT LONG. We find out that Clay will be on the Cover of PEOPLE, BRAVO will broadcast Clay; oh yeah, they'll be broadcasting the whole Star Search event but who gives a piss about anyone else!? Then the cellcerters start reporting in that ABC is there filming the object of our obsession for GMA and/or PrimeTime. Now mind you, some of us are still streaming at the CC link because we can't get enough of our NEW FAVORITES of all time sung by our guy...and the PHOTOOOOOOOOOOOS start coming in of Judge Clay. Natural Clay, Red Hair, Stubble, Eyelashes and that one-of-a-kind SMILE.

To say the least, someone(s) became more insignificant in our lives than they ever were before in these past 9 months. They all put us and Clay through hell but now the Cafe girls can take their sour grapes at not getting control of BAF and Clay, JP can take his lies and celebrity scams, Groucho and the KCE FREAKS & Soulful Sisters with NO souls can take their jealousy and criminal activity, PH and BINA can take their VPB antics of 3 years and shove it all up their tab-loids.

One of our bloggers probably said it best:
~~~~~
"Anonymous said...
He hasn't changed one bit. He's our Clay. Our Clay and he's back with us.


Screw the haters......screw you!

9:00 PM
~~~~~

And because it can't be said enough (I'm not as clean spoken) to the haters and scammers: "FUCK YOU"
~~~~~~~

Now let's go back to discussing what's important: Album/CD = Masterpiece

MR. GOOD DEEDS GOES TO WASHINGTON

Just want to borrow a couple of excerpts from the Official Qualifications of what an applicant for a Government Committee has to undergo before he/she is approved and finally sworn in:

****Most applicants under serious consideration for an appointment will go through a full FBI background check in which their employment, professional, personal, travel, medical, financial, legal, military and educational histories will be reviewed and scrutinized. The financial holdings and sources of income for most applicants under serious consideration must be disclosed for review for possible conflicts of interest, and any conflicts must be remedied by divestiture, the creation of special trusts, etc.****

****...all aspects of your personal and professional life, including organizations to which you belong or once belonged; speeches you may have given and books, articles, and editorials you may have written; legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings to which you may have been a party; in short, anything that might embarrass the President or you if he should choose you for a position in his administration.*****
~~~~~~~~~

So what does this tell us? It tells us that somebody actually DID their homework and it wasn't just ANYBODY; it WAS NOT someone who cuts and pastes a couple of facts and a lot of "fiction" to suit one's "Agenda". It was the US Government checking out our guy to make sure he is qualified and clean of anything that would "embarrass" the President or himself.

NOW...what does THIS tell us? It tell us that our Government and the President KNOW that Clay Aiken doesn't go "trolling the internet" for gay hookups as a handful of vile humans would have the public believe.

Who are these "vile humans" (do they even qualify for being human)?

1. They are Clay's KNOWN and spurned female stalkers.
2. They are gay activists who "out" anybody, gay or NOT, if one doesn't play
by their rules and be their advocate in some way.
3. They are a few lusty "queens" with their own fantasies (PH, we SO KNOW).
4. It is the little gay guy, Purple Gherkin Paulus, who can only DREAM up shit.
5. They are the Cafe Allegro ladies (gag) who THOUGHT they were ENTITLED to run BAF
and get in Clay's pants.
6. They are Groucho, Shannon and the Pips from Kelly Clarkson Express who think
Clay has a chance to overtake their gal in CD sales and popularity.
7. They are Emach and a militant few (formerly known as "Soulful Ruben") who are
known for some pretty crass and borderline criminal activities to hurt Clay
and his fans.

These people joined forces for ONE reason: SMEAR CAMPAIGN

All our efforts to keep these people exposed to the public as LIARS and to expose Pickle Pussy Paulus (who NEVER met Clay Aiken) for the scam artist he is has been upstaged by the PRES. By Swearing In Clay Aiken next Thursday the PRESIDENT of the US is declaring, after a thorough investigation, that Paulus NEVER existed in Clay Aiken's life.

Everything JP wants people to believe DIDN'T happen, but WE faithful fans already knew that and so did the above. Their goal is to stunt the sales of Clay's new CD so he doesn't surpass Kelly's sales and if they can ruin his reputation in the process then their life's mission will be over. Does accomplishing this mission mean they will bless us by curling up to die? NO... I'm sure they'll go after Taylor next because he poses the next biggest threat to Kelly and Ruben. The gay faction already got a head start via Perez planting the seed of doubt on his blog.

Well.... this is it in a nutshell. The President declares Clay "The Good Guy" by virtue of his Crystal CLEAN record.

Those involved in the 9-month long smear campaign may soon be welcomed by Sheriff Joe in Tent City. See ya there guys, gals and 1 queen; I'll be the one doing the Scorpion Toss as the "no messing around" lawman parades you down the dusty trail to your tents and ..... BUBBA!

We're Sooo Proud of Our MAN

Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma
You're in for a pleasant surprise

I've wasted time
I've wasted me
So say I'm slow for my age
A late bloomer, Okay, I agree

That I've been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I'll get over these lousin' up
Messin' up, screwin' up times

You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part
Someone's gonna make good
Cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy

Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer
You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
But that couldn't be all that I am

Water flows under the bridge
Let it pass, let it go
There's no good reason that you should believe me
Not yet, I know, but

Someday and soon
I'll make you proud of your boy
Though I can't make myself taller
Or smartter or handsome or wise

I'll do my best, what else can I do ?
Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you
Mom, I will try to
Try hard to make you
Proud of your boy

How Adults Deal with Temper Tantrums

The amazing Ms. Polly Graf provided us with a few links so we could get an idea of the mentality of certain individuals who are directly or indirectly responsible for the full-of-lies smear campaign on Clay Aiken. The Gawker link is especially telling

IMDb profile for Perez (Mario)
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491768/

IMDb profile for Billy Masters
http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Billy+Masters


Here are some excerpts, mostly from Perez, for those who don't want to give Gawker hits. This is email banter where the recipient tries to blow off a pissed Perez. Why is PH pissed? Because he didn't get invited to a party. Holy Chit! PH not invited? Wonder why?

PH: "I never claim to be objective. In fact, I reslish in my perspective and point of view. That's why people visit my site, so much that I get more visitors in ONE day that visit me than read Star or OK in one week."

PH: "In the mean time I am free and will continue expressing my thoughts about H.... S... to all of my publicist friends, media friends and your current clients that I know."

Other Guy: "Im not going back and forth with you over this. It's just lame to lie it's like get a life... And BTW -I don't respond to threats."

PH: "Thanks cupcake!
Look for me on E! News tomorrow night talking about every party expect yours."

PH: "And on your way to work, be sure to listen to me on Star 98.7, where I am also a regular correspondent and will be doing my Super Bowl wrap-up."

You know, I can afford to be unprofessional, because I make probably a lot more money than you do. You, on the other hand, can't afford to be as crass and reckless ad crazy Perez.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you can see, PH starts CCing HIS "fernids in high places" (tm Pickle); he spells just like the Purple Gherkin and Groucho too.

Judging from the email exchange, the recipient of PH's pissy attitude handled the situation as an adult while Perez displays all the characteristics of a preschooler. Quite a few anti-fans and JP like to spin Clay's silence into what it is not. What his silence is indicative of is this: Clay's instinct and training as a teacher kicked in and he has ignored these children with their 5 year old mentality whose only joys in life include temper tantrums, lies and one upmanship.

I stated in my blog comments section that I was SURPRISED that people I thought were shrewd assholes are really children who need to be treated as such and that is what Clay has done. Imagine having to deal with this kind of ridiculousness from these "ME ME ME" individuals on a daily basis when you're in the entertainment industry.

Artists cater to these blackmailing FUCKwads in order to avoid the smear campaigns (as Gawker verified in the above blog link); Clay simply says, "UP YOURS!" with his silence. Since they are neither his children nor his students, he turned his back on them completely and walked away leaving them on the floor kicking and screaming.

I LOVE CLAY AIKEN WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE BRAVEST MAN I'VE EVER SEEN. I love it that he gave them the double-barreled middle finger.

The Sum of Many Parts

I promised some fun and games for the month of September and September has arrived. There have been many players in this online and tabloid "Smear Campaign" and we're going to start exposing them right here on the front page. I may have developed a sinister side after all this smearing but I'm going to enjoy what is to come.

One of our brilliant regulars took the information we've been discussing for months and has come up with the best summary I've seen yet. I'm going to make it the blog for the day because it's the perfect lead which will be followed by details in the next week or so.

August 31, 2006 (8th Month into the Smear Campaign)

"Anonymous said...
You know, I had forgotten about the rumored phone calls between Clay and Reichen and how coy Reichen was whenever he was asked about them. It wasn't Clay on the phone with Reichen, it was Lance Bass, the "spiky-haired popstar." Reichen was trying to protect Lance. Additionally, Reichen was filming a movie at the time and having his name linked with Clay's would provide lots of free publicity. When the movie aired, the director thanked Clay in the credits. Then Reichen denied he knew Clay as did his mother on his blog, and she said it was all a publicity stunt. How nice.

PaulASS saw how Reichen, who's backstory is similar to his own, was parlaying it and his AR win into an acting career and was considered somewhat of a celebrity, if only for 15 minutes. PaulASS wanted a taste of that and even latched onto Reichen's idea of writing a book about gays in the military. PaulASS had nude photos of himself on gay porn websites that also had as members certain gay tabloid bloggers with an axe to grind. He would be an easy recruit, someone desperate for fame, celebrity, notoriety (it's all the same to him) and a chance at a porn career. What was there to lose? Nothing except a job with ReMax selling lower-end properties in a rural area south of Raleigh. Not very lucrative and certainly not as exciting as what he hoped to experience as a pseudo-celebrity. Since Clay was moving back to Raleigh and was rumored to be gay by those same gay bloggers, it would be the perfect set-up. They finally found someone willing to allow his face and name to be attached to the scam for credibility. The added plus was that PaulASS was broke, had no assets and lousy credit, so he wasn't worth suing. BM acknowledged that Clay wouldn't sue and he was right, because it would cost too much and the end result would be lots of negative publicity at a time when the press should be focusing on the new CD.

I would think that as an employee (am I wrong here,or is he not an employee of American Media, as is PH?)BM would know that the NE fabricated the DNA evidence, as was admitted to by PaulASS to a writer who was contemplating a story.

The reports coming out of the Quality Inn tell a different tale than that told by PaulASS, and the valleyprettyboy designation was formally and legally traced back to one of these gay tabloid bloggers as the original source of the trolling rumors, leading one to suspect this gay blogger was doing the trolling in Clay's name for hits to his own blog and/or to set the stage for this smear campaign.

The Silent Murder of an Innocent Man

Character assassination has been described as the silent murder. Destroy a person’s character, good name and reputation and you have basically killed him. Throw in defamation, maligning, libel, harassment, humiliation, embarrassment and hate that borders on a crime, and you have overkill!

Is it conceivable that John Paulus was forced, coerced or paid to manufacture a scandal? Was he fed a story, a fanfic, or porno script and paid to tell it, or did he act alone? Could the past eight months be so easily explained as nothing more than the product of a delusional fantasy from a very sick, demented and twisted mind that desired to become the “star” of a living porn script? I say no…he had help, which means there are others just like him out there, hiding behind the anonymity of a computer screen.

The sad thing about it is we may never know the answers to these questions we so earnestly seek. We may never fully understand how such a vicious hoax of this magnitude could befall one of the least deserving in the music industry...a person who has never deliberately hurt another human being in his life! Yet, it happened, and we know it did, because we witnessed it and followed it day after day…

…Day after day…here’s how it all began…

12/16/05 (Friday - JNT2 in Nashville). As reported in the tabloids, the first IM to JP came from “valleyprettyboy,” allegedly Clay Aiken, while on tour. After a moderate uproar on the PH site over the use of the screen name, VPB, which everyone knew to be fake and had been around a long time, the name would soon change to “Revnoles” and VPB would never be mentioned again, except for the occasional “forged” profile. In fact, Revnoles would at times appear as Ray Noles, the name of a retired baseball player, Dickie Ray Noles, born in Charlotte, NC., in 1956, and still living today.

12/17/05 (Saturday-JNT2 in Atlanta) JP emailed Revnoles, who did not respond for another 4 days.

*Clay Blogged – 12/18/05 (Sunday – JNT2 in Pensacola) 09:09 PM – Re: Big G. “You should know by now you can’t believe what you read on the Internet.” – CA. The quote, initially made in regards to Big “G,” would later prove to be prophetic.

12/21/05 (Wednesday - JNT in Charlotte) Revnoles responded with a very “business-like” email, as compared to the “Hey man” of VPB. An entirely different “tone” is noticeable between the two correspondences.

*Clay Blogged – 12/24/05 (Saturday – C’mas Eve At Home) - 09:04 AM: C’mas “Greetings!”

12/29/05 (Thursday – JNT2 in Clearwater) Again, JP emailed Revnoles – 4 hours later Revnoles responded with another brief business-like email. JP responded.

12/30/06 (Friday - Final night of JNT2 - Clearwater) Four sources confirm that members of the cast, including Clay, were invited by Brianne Hinman to fly to NYC for New Year’s Eve. Transportation to the airport was arranged with the venue security.

01/02/06 (Monday) Revnoles IMs JP – arranged to meet at the Quality Inn & Suites in Garner, NC. Initially, according to JP, this was the first IM he saved, for if JP had saved every IM and email from the beginning, it might appear as though he were trying to set someone up! Later, he would choose to disregard that fact and substitute his own IMs or emails, which were allegedly missing from Dec. 16th. JP received at least three phone calls for which no phone records were ever produced. In the meantime, Clay stayed over Sunday night in NYC, to attend a meeting with RCA on Monday to plan the schedule for the coming year, which would begin after his short vacation/nap.

01/03/06 (Tuesday) – Early AM – Clay left NYC late Monday night and returned home on a red-eye flight in the early morning hours of Tuesday 01/03/06. (See Jan. 25th)

01/04/06 (Wednesday) Raleigh - Clay lunched at a local restaurant and autographed the wall. (Photo)

01/09/06 (Monday) – Allegedly JP contacted Clay’s attorneys and said a half hour later he was contacted by Kristi Gamble, who supposedly sent a C & D letter to NE, which they deny ever receiving.

01/10/06 (Tuesday) – JP IMs Revnoles to inform him he had contacted the media. If true, why didn’t Clay’s attorneys inform him of such an alleged phone call received the previous day?

01/11/06 (Wednesday) – JP IMs Revnoles.

01/12/06 (Thursday) – New York City - Based on a frantic phone call from Randylandd, alleging to have received an email from “Revnoles,” Rocco from the blog: “I Probably Hate You,” while high on a coke binge, sent out 96 text messages claiming to have proof that Clay is gay. Who were the most likely recipients of Rocco’s text messages?

01/12/06 (Thursday) – Bodybuilders.com - Profile for “Revnoles” with an erroneous birth date, no doubt meant to deflect attention, was established. All activity on the profile ceased on 01/15/06. (Did JP and/or his accomplice[s] establish this profile for the purpose of creating emails under the name of “Revnoles?”)

01/16/06 (Monday) The story leaked on-line by the NE to BM, appeared in the NY Post: Page Six, Billy Masters (Filth2go) and Perez Hilton’s blogs. It would be an additional six weeks before JP fully disclosed the “details” of his fanfic and produced his “evidence,” all of which he fabricated and sharpened to conform to recent and current history he picked up along the way.

01/16/06 (Monday) – Revnoles IMs JP-Re: NY Post article. No response from JP.

01/17/06 (Tuesday) - 01:13 AM – Revnoles IMs JP Re: the Perez blog.

*Clay Blogged 01/17/06 (Tuesday) – 12:56 AM PST – CA states it’s 3:56 AM EST. Clay did not hide from the scandal as alleged. From the beginning he acknowledged it privately to his fans (the only ones who needed to know at the time), and would continue to do so while in a public “No Comment” mode. Scripture verse - “Do not fear the reproach of others, and do not be dismayed when they revile you.” Isaiah 51:7 [It’s important to note that Clay did not have to acknowledge any vilification in the form of “reproach” or “revilement.” It was a deliberate decision he made to address the issue head on. He did not spend hours with his attorneys working on talking points and damage control.]

01/17/06 (Tuesday) – 05:12 PM – Revnoles IMs JP-Re: New York Post article. The two IMs for the 17th are the only IMs submitted by JP that were given a time, a fact obviously designed to coincide with Clay’s early morning blog to his fans, but also a blog that JP failed to post.

01/17/06 (Tuesday) – Reality News Online - Logan Martin interviewed Nigel Lythgoe, producer of Fox TV’s American Idol, who stated: “If you knew…that Clay Aiken was so far ahead every week, it would be a waste of time watching. You wouldn’t vote for anybody else…you would think…no one else is going to win…He was that far ahead, is what I’m trying to say.”

01/20/06 (Friday) – QueerDay blog - A reader, identified only as “John,” posted and refused to confirm or deny the contents of the story, but objected to some of the “errors” reported in the QD blog.

01/23/06 (Monday) – QueerDay blog published a letter received from a “John Paulus,” in which John identified himself as the ex-Green Beret in the tabloid story, to which QD referred to JP as a “scumbag opportunist.”

01/23/06 (Monday) - OFC – The fans create the “Circle the Wagons” thread in support of Clay.

*Clay Blogged 01/23/06 (Monday) – 09:00 PM PST -
“:) Thank you!” Two simple words that said it all. Another blog not posted by JP.

01/25/06 (Wednesday) - The NE and the Globe stories hit the newsstands. The Globe described Clay as “slight” and “pixyish.”

01/25/06 (Wednesday) 02:59 PM – TC, certainly aware of the 01/16/06 Internet story, would have consulted with their client by now. When asked about Clay’s whereabouts on the day in question, they do not issue a “No Comment” statement, but instead stated unequivocally to an “insider” that Clay was in NYC on 01/02/06. Knowing their statement would be posted on the Internet, consider the potential legal ramifications and fallout if this were not an accurate and true statement of fact that could be verified in a court of law should the need arise.

01/26/06 (Thursday) – Amazon.com - Previously ranked in the #900s, after a huge and unprecedented show of fan support, MOAM reached #1 on Amazon!

01/28/06 (Saturday) – Revnoles IMs JP and quotes the warning posted by JP to the fans at PH regarding what he’s about to do, which JP claimed he had just posted at PH minutes before. He swears to Revnoles he has remained silent, has cried over the fans, and said he was not out at work (on the 28th) and begs for the chance to be “trusted.” Last alleged contact.

*Clay Blogged 01/30/06 (Monday) – 06:25 PM – CD News is coming! “Love you all.”
*Clay Blogged 01/30/06 (Monday)
– 10:35 PM – “PS. When thinking about the CD, prepare for something different!”

*Clay Blogged 01/31/06 (Tuesday) – 08:31 AM – 08:32 AM – 08:33 AM “Oops” – 08:33 AM – More CD news - made 4 attempts to blog, but didn’t edit them. “It’s not what you’re thinking! It’s NOT what you are expecting!”

**While in NYC the latter half of January, Clay was spotted on at least four occasions: (may not appear in order of occurrence). 1) Clay spotted in the audience at the SNL rehearsal; 2) attended a performance of the “Color Purple,” with unknown blonde woman (Photo); 3) attended an off-Broadway performance of Slavia’s, “Snowshow,” with YSG (Photo); and 4) snapped an “engagement” picture for a couple in Central Park. (Photo taken 01/21/06)

02/08/06 (Wednesday) - “I Probably Hate You” - Rocco blogged to answer email response to his blog, asking for verification of the email addy for Revnoles, per Randylandd, which was not surprisingly: revnoles@yahoo.com.

02/08/06 (Wednesday) – JP signed porn contract with Michael Lucas. (Photo)

02/09/06 (Thursday) – JP interviewed on Howard Stern Show. (Transcript & audio)

02/13/06 (Monday) - Juciee News Daily reports: “It is worth noting that the season 2 runner up, Clay Aiken, was the viewer’s wild card choice (reportedly Aiken garnered over 8 million of the 11 million votes cast that night.”)

*Clay Blogged 02/14/06 (Tuesday) – 9:37 AM – Valentine’s Day: “And... if you're okay with it...I'm taking each of you as my own personal Valentine today!!!”

02/14/06 (Tuesday) – 107.9 FM – Quiana Parler on the Matt & Ramona show. Regarding Clay and the tabloids, she said: “Don’t believe it…” “He’s such a blessing! It’s wonderful.” (Mp3) Quiana told a fan that attended her show in SC that Clay tried to tell her about the tabloid scandal. She said she told him, “They always are talking about you.” Clay answered, “Yeah, “Q,” but this time it’s really bad.”

02/15/06 (Wednesday) – 9 News APS – Clay Aiken, declared highest grossing Idol and ranked #18 in Top 20 Concert Tours in NA for 2005; the only “Idol” to make the list.

02/25/06 - 02/26-06 - JP posted all the IMs and emails at PH.

03/01/06 (Wednesday) – The Star & NE publish the infamous Web cam pictures.

*Clay Blogged 03/02/06 (Thursday) – 11:03 AM - E. Europe vacation. Clay informed us he had been on vacation and was the sickest he’d ever been. Then said, “So, let’s talk about something that REALLY happened…” But instead of going into the details of his vacation, he discussed photos and his skill as a photographer and the type of pics he takes. It was reported by crafty55, a mod at RHT, that she read the blog when first posted. Then later on the blog was edited and the bolded sentence above was added, proving it was not a part of the original, but deliberately placed in the blog. It will be the third blog not posted by JP. (E.E Photos)

03/03/06 (Friday) – TittleTattle - Jim Brogan of the Post Chronicle contacted JP and submitted written questions; JP stalls. Claiming to get advice from his attorney, he later submits his written answers. Brogan also interviewed Coti Collins (impersonator), who claimed he did not know JP, but had “turned down large amounts of money to portray Clay in a negative way…” which he refused to do.

*Clay Blogged 03/03/06 (Friday) – 2:18 PM - E. Europe vacation continued. (E.E Photos)

*Clay Blogged 03/05/06 (Sunday) – 11:46 PM – E. Europe vacation continued. – On the media site at OFC, the caption for one of the photos said, “I could make something up if you want.” And again, “I am very picky.” At the end of the blog Clay said, “No pictures of my sick bed. Sorry.” (E.E Photos)

03/06/06 (Monday) – The Web cam of Revnoles is discovered on Terry Goldman’s MySpace. Having just been posted the day before, the blog is deleted by afternoon, but not before Perez captured and blogged it.

03/12/06 (Sunday) – Seymour Johnson AF Base, NC - Clay sang the Nat’l Anthem for Military retirees. (Photo)

*Clay Blogged 03/14/06 (Tuesday) – 01:47 PM – SCRUB up!”

04/03/06 (Wednesday) – John leaves PH and begins his own blog.

*Clay Blogged 04/03/06 (Monday) – 11:22 PM – “The Kite Runner” Book Report. Was this a subtle hint to us from Clay? I can hear him asking, “Have you read any good books lately?” rather than scurrilous blogs?

04/19/06 (Wednesday) – Terry Goldman blogged. Although he did not deny having a conversation with Clay, he stressed it was completely non-sexual! Asked JP if he was insane?

*Clay Blogged 04/25/06 (Tuesday) – 8:37 PM – Long CD explanation – “…there seems to be no end to the speculation about the current recording process. I am here to let you know that the truth is...” “You have already got way more info than you were gonna get!”… “Take care and thanks for your love & support...”

04/30/06 (Sunday) – Pure Fashion Charity Show. Scheduled to donate his time and perform at the Fashion Show, Clay cancelled the appearance on the 23rd citing a scheduling conflict, according to the Pure Fashion website.

05/05/06 (Friday) The Post Chronicle – (TittleTattle) Jim Brogan blogged to report the awesome findings of the web cam investigation by WSCA, and the “interesting transformation in Photoshop” she discovered, using the likeness of Thom Yorke. The Gossipist blog also carried the story. (JP previously posted a picture of Thom Yorke on his blog, believing it to be Clay.) On the eve of exposing the Terry Goldman, “Revnoles,” “fake” web cam pic as a Photoshop as well, WSCA yielded to overwhelming pressure and ended her investigation. (Photos)

05/10/06 (Wednesday) - Middlesex Middle School charity appearance in Darien, CT. (Photos)

*Clay Blogged 05/17/06 (Wednesday) – 10:25 AM – Shortly after JP began dredging up old news, and answering an OFC contest to guess Clay’s favorite food, Clay, in a clever move, blogged, and by using Mexican food as a cover said, “What’s with all of this refried mess?”

05/22/06 (Monday) Entertainment Tonight - CNN’s Showbiz Today…cited CD Sales and Concert Revenue for the Idol finalists and noted that Clay is the most successful Idol contestant after Kelly Clarkson, selling nearly 4 million CDs and earning over 28 million in concert sales--the highest concert sales for any Idol!

05/22/06 (Monday) – Florida Sun Sentinel – “Aiken, the second-year runner-up, has far eclipsed Studdard in record sales and concert attendance. In fact, other than first-year Idol Kelly Clarkson, who has emerged as a genuine superstar, Aiken is arguably Idol’s biggest find.”

05/24/06 (Wednesday) Fox TV – American Idol Finale 5 appearance – Clay appeared, sporting a new hairstyle and creating lots of buzz for several weeks. Rumored to have attended and performed at Gov. Schwarzenegger’s state dinner in Sacramento that evening (Unconfirmed). (Tons of AI photos and lots of buzz!)

06/03/06 (Saturday) – Trip to Sweden. Attended Michael Buble concert on June 5th. It is rumored that Clay worked while there. At this time, the CD had not been completed. Length of stay in Sweden and date of return trip are unknown. (From Buble interview: Buble stated that Clay told him he was smeared in the tabloids on a daily basis. The two will be performing together in Sept.)

*Clay Blogged 06/14/06 (Wednesday) 10:27 AM – Blessed New Arrival! Quiana’s son is born: Chamberlain Malik Moore, 6lbs., 2 ozs. (Photos) Clay also revealed the correct answer to the contest: Clay’s least favorite vegetable…beets!

06/15/06 (Thursday) – Attended Hurricane’s game #5. (Photos)

06/19/06 (Monday) – John Paulus publicly apologized to Clay, his family and his fans. Many on-line news sites carried the story, as well as MSNBC. One might question what prompted the apology in the first place, other than a futile attempt to gain publicity.

06/19/06 (Monday) – Hurricane’s win the Stanley Cup! Was Clay there?

06/21/06 (Wednesday) – Billboard.com reports Clay’s first single, “This Is The Night,” still holds the #1 spot for first week sales with 393,000 copies sold!

06/22/06 (Thursday) – anti.Music reports: “David Perel, presently the NE editor and former head of American Media, said he doesn't remember Paulus having a legal letter sent, but said even if there was one, Paulus is ‘completely distorting’ the story. ‘It’s not a situation where he told the story one time,’ Perel said. ‘He engaged in multiple conversations with our reporter. He couldn’t stop talking, and then he talked to reporters after it was out.’” So much for doing everything legally to stop the story and lying to Revnoles. Losing control over the release of the story is one thing, but why didn’t JP sue the NE or the Globe for using his photos without his permission?

06/30/06 (Friday) – OFC - Extends Renewal date and announces NANA contest.

07/03/06 (Monday) Clay and friends attend Kelly Clarkson’s concert with Ruben Studdard. (Photos)

*Clay Blogged 07/04/06 (Tuesday) - 08:36 PM – Lottery – CA ups the ante for the NANA contest. Said… “Missing you. But we'll be ‘seeing’ each other soon. The time is drawing nearer........”

07/05/06 (Wednesday) – Clay flew to LA after the 4th of July holiday. (Photos)

*Clay Blogged 07/05/06 (Wednesday) – 08:01 AM – More contest strategy.

*Clay Blogged 07/05/06 (Wednesday) – 03:44 PM – After a lengthy and heavy discussion at Perez on the subject of whether or not Clay ever specifically said the words, “I’m not gay,” or “I’m straight,” Clay blogged and said, “So…let’s get this straight!!”
The statement actually had nothing to do with the blog itself.

07/05/06 (Wednesday) - Clay is ET's #5 All-American Super Star!

*Clay Blogged 07/06/06 (Thursday) – 03:51 PM – The NANA tension mounts…

07/08/06 (Sunday) – JP deleted his blogs. Left the message…“Once upon a time…”

*Clay Blogged 07/11/06 (Tuesday) - 10:33 PM – “We have a winner!”

Other contributors include: Max Lucado, Billy Graham, Anne Graham Lotz, Charles Swindoll, Michael Reagan, Gary Smalley, and Zig Ziglar. According to Amazon.com, the book is due to ship on Halloween (Oct. 31).

*Clay Blogged 07/14/06 (Friday) - 10:06 PM – Congratulations to the winner!

08/07/06 (Monday) – Jeannie Holleman filed a lawsuit with Wade County, NC, alleging Clay and his mother tried to defame her, resulting in the loss of book sales.

08/08/06 (Tuesday) – Clay responded to lawsuit. The first paragraph is directed to Jeannie Holleman, in which it reads, “Aiken, in a statement issued by RCA Records, said Monday that he had “instructed my attorneys to not only vigorously dispute the claims that have been made but to also pursue all possible remedies against those involved in the perpetration of these untruths.”

In reference to JP and others, he said, “As a so-called ‘celebrity’ I have become used to scurrilous (vulgar) allegations and untruths (lies) being made about me and my work. I have always taken the path of not reacting to these matters and have accepted them as, somehow, coming with the ‘job.’

The difference between the two situations are this: “However, I cannot, and will not, stand by when these attacks are made on my family.”

We've rehearsed with the band.” And now the waiting continues for a few more weeks until Sept. 19, 2006, although interspersed with appearances. We can handle that.


In conclusion: It’s difficult to imagine that there are human beings like John Paulus in the world. It’s even harder to imagine that there are haters in the world, who for lack of anything better to do, would follow, defame and malign someone they claim they can’t stand. Yet, mankind has coexisted with these types since the beginning of time. Hate is what caused Cain to murder his twin brother, Abel. Hate is what crucified Jesus Christ. Hate is what motivated the Nazis to murder six million Jews. Hate is what killed three thousand people on 09-11-2001.

Something Insane Bastard said gave true insight into this situation. He said, “...ya know, there’s more of that same pattern of hatred they have for people that are true loyal friends, notice that?” Yes, I have noticed that, IB. It manifested itself in the form of an attack directed against Clay’s fan base in an attempt to destroy our support, our bond, and our concern for one another, in the evil hope of destroying the man whom we have all come to love. We’re all vastly different, yet, one in the same because of that man…that man and his voice. May it be heard around the world!

For those who bit the bullet, handled the flack and the insults and took “I have your back” literally, you fought for what you believed in, for whom we believed in, and fought for someone who was unable to fight for himself, because of legalities. I believe when it’s all said and done, we will be victorious…we already are!
