It’s official, Clay Aiken has been dumped by his male beard, Reed Kelly.  Clay Aiken and Reed Kelly have long been rumored to be dating, but no official confirmation has ever been published.

Sources are citing Clay Aiken’s prolific cheating as the reason for the break-up.

Several months ago, I published a blog post in which I showed that Clay Aiken had attempted to “hook-up” with me on Manhunt while he was rumored to be dating Reed Kelly.  Claymates were quick to dismiss this.  At the time, I stated that if the rumors of Clay and Reed dating were true, then Clay Aiken was cheating.  I made it clear that Reed would be hurt and that Reed should be forewarned that Clay was not being faithful.  Claymates immediately dismissed my unsolicited warnings and attacked me.

Apparently, Reed Kelly has been deeply hurt by Clay’s infidility and is suffering the trauma of being cheated on by yet another lover.  These emotional scars will not heal easily and Claymates attacks on Reed, Reed’s friends, and family will not help- they are sure to happen.

Clay Aiken is a very sick and selfish individual.  He does not care about love or long term relationships.  Clay Aiken is not looking for stability- he is looking for instant gratification.  Men entering and leaving Clay’s door will not bode well for the emotional stability or well-being of his son either.  Clay’s selfishness and infidility will adversely affect Parker Foster Aiken, his son.  How will Parker react when he learns that Reed will no longer be in his life?  Perhaps Clay will tell Parker the truth-  Daddy cheated and caused the bond that Parker was forming with Reed to be severed. 

Will Clay Aiken ever learn?  Will he ever put his family and career ahead of his need for anonymous sex?  I somehow doubt it.

How does Broadway raise money for charity?  They strip.  Classy, right?  Of all the many ways for Broadway to raise money, they have decided to have 10 of their Broadway performers strip for cash- don’t worry, Clay Aiken is not one of the 10.  Besides, he doesn’t strip for charity, just webcams.  However, Clay Aiken’s long rumored boyfriend, and some say male escort, Reed Kelly, will be baring it all for charity.  I guess with a career in the toilet, Clay doesn’t pay as well nowadays.

BROADWAY BARES returned to Chelsea’s hottest hot spot and the original location of the very first BROADWAY BARES in 1992, Splash, for SOLO STRIPS: AROUND THE WORLD on Sunday, April 11.

Directed by Rachelle Rak, assistant directed by John Berno and costumes by Brad Musgrove, AROUND THE WORLD featured eleven of Broadway’s sexiest performers stripping to two capacity crowds and raising an impressive, if sweaty, $7,365. The evening was the second in a series paying homage to that very first BROADWAY BARES twenty years ago which featured Jerry Mitchell and six friends performing original strips on the bar at Splash for a $10 donation plus whatever tips the audience gave to the dancers.

Rak had the challenging task of taking us around the world for a strip in nearly a dozen time zones but was certainly up to the task. She explained, “Ten years of Broadway Bares has made stripping sort of my specialty skill! Thanks to Jerry (Mitchell) who taught me how to take off a glove properly. I now pass on my knowledge and sass.”

Host Marty Thomas, most recently in Xanadu and Wicked, kicked things off with an electric rendition of the evening’s theme song, the Electric Light Orchestra hit “All Over the World” which revved up the crowd for what it was about to experience.

BROADWAY BARES creator and executive producer Jerry Mitchell joined Thomas and special guests Tony Award nominee John Tartaglia and Emmy Award winner Leslie Jordan thanking the enthusiastic crowds and announcing raffle winners. With each strip, we get closer to the fundraising goal of $1 million goal set by Mitchell at the first SOLO STRIP this past January 31st for Broadway Bares XX, which will be held on June 20 at Roseland Ballroom.

Claymates have reported that Clay Aiken was spotted in the Caribbean- no not in Port-au-Prince , but on the island of St. Lucia vacationing last week with his male friend Reed Kelly.

The humanitarian of 2008 and UNICEF Ambassador has not commented on the human disaster in Haiti nor has he attempted to bring awareness to the plight of its suffering people.

Adam Lambert, who Clay last year criticized for “making his ears bleed”, tweeted to his fans to donate to the relief effort and put out a public service announcement (PSA), asking for help.  Other celebrities who have not been recognized as “humanitarians”, have all used their voices and their wallets to help in this human disaster.  Even disgraced former Senator John Edwards traveled to Haiti to lend a hand with the relief efforts.

In Clay’s defense, some Claymates have argued that Clay’s ambassadorship with UNICEF centers only around “education” and when the search and rescue effort is complete, Clay will play his part.  Unfortunately for the orphans, the amputees, the hungry, and the suffering, having a book read to them is the furthest thing from their minds.  They need food, medicine, blankets- they need the world “educated” about their plight so that the world can provide them the items they need just to survive.

Clay Aiken April 2007:

What is the mission of UNICEF and why is it important to you?

In my opinion, there are very few issues in the world that are as important—and solvable—as saving the world’s children. For 60 years, working in more than 150 countries, UNICEF has been the world’s leader for children’s rights, saving more young lives than any other humanitarian organization.

So what has the “Humanitarian of 2008″ and UNICEF “education” ambassador said about the earthquake in Haiti– nothing that I’m aware of.  In fact, the same Clay Aiken who took time to blog his outrage over the duly elected Wake County School Board (for which he voted in a county he did not reside), has not blogged a word to his fans pleading for their support for the children of Haiti.  But, Clay has been blogging.  In fact, he’s been blogging prolifically regarding some surprise; January 19th,  January 22nd, and January 23rd.  No word whether that surprise is another charity event for his family run charity, NIPI, or some self-promotional career event.

Perhaps one of his fans, who recently spotted the 2008 Humanitarian of the Year enjoying the musical, ‘Memphis the Musical‘, can asked him why he’s been missing in action for the women and children of Haiti or when the UNICEF education ambassador might lend his voice.

So you’ve been using Echo for the weekend, how do you like it?  I know it doesn’t have everything that some of you enjoyed with Haloscan, but I think you’ll agree there are plenty of extra features that make Echo a whole lot better.

The last few days, I’ve been out shopping with my mother for her new house.  We’ve been at Macy’s, JC Penny’s, Home Good’s store, Dillards, and Belks.  We purchased towels, and curtains for the bathrooms.  Drapes for mom’s bedroom.  A beautiful carpet for the living room.  A large mirror for the dining room.  We’ve done a lot of shopping.

To be quite honest, I haven’t read many of the comments.  I’ve been really busy this weekend, but I received emails telling me that Clay has been with Reed.  Ladies, I know.  His IP address showed up on my ClayAiken411 address for Minnesota.  I’m very happy that Clay could take the time to visit his friend and family.

Any way, I’m going to relax while I watch Oprah’s special and enjoy the ranting of some of you.
