Simon Talks about Clay Aiken

Simon Cowell talked to Extra about the very obvious news that Clay Aiken is gay:
“Wow, that’s a shock. It’s like being told Santa Clause isn’t real — unbelievable.”

Of course Simon had to be sarcastic! But then he softened and encouraged Aiken by saying “Good for him. If he said it, it’s the right thing for him. Good for him.”

As for how Aiken’s fans will react, Cowell opined, “I don’t think anyone cares. Let’s face it. It’s 2008. You know, who cares?”
SANTA CLAUS ISN’T REAL? Oh no! There goes my Christmas. And FYI Simon, people do still care if you’re gay.

American Idol Stripped Down

It looks like American Idol has a double threat on their hands. One contestant, in the form of David Hernandez, doesn’t just sing. He can dance too – strip dance that is. David’s old boss at Dick’s Cabaret in Arizona sold him out on Monday saying that the Idol wannabe has appeared completely nude and performed lap dances for the club’s mostly male clientele. His boss even said that “He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here.” David should be disqualified. Frenchie got disqualified just for having racy pictures. David’s stripper history is much worse!
