I'll bet you a quarter


About a week ago, Clay Aiken got in trouble on some airline because he started a fight with some woman during a flight. I love how Clay Aiken, runner-up on American Idol a few years ago, is only mentioned for some obscure reason. When he first lost to Ruben Studdard, he got so much press & had so many followers that you would've thought that he won American Idol. Then, nothing. He just fell off the map. Clive Davis & his crew tried to do an image makeover - dyed hair, street cred, but he still just fell into obscurity. Let's review the last few times his name has come up, shall we?
1) Putting his hand over Kelly Ripa's mouth. On a scandal scale level of 1 -10, this would rate about a 1.5.
2) Fallout from the Kelly Ripa incident with Rosie spewing accusations that Kelly's homophobic against Clay, whom she says is gay. Rating: 7.
3) Clay Aiken speaking out about the Kelly Ripa incident, all the while not acknowledging that he's gay. Rating: 8.
4) Clay Aiken throwing a hissy fit & damn near bitch-slapping a chick on a plane over an arm rest. Rating: 9.
I'm willing to bet you a quarter that at this rate, Clay is on a unpublicized-due-to-lack-of-interest downward spiral into obscurity. The next time that there's a scandal surrounding him, it will be due to being discovered performing George Michael-esque at NJ turnpike rest stops or he'll be discovered slumped over in his 2001 Toyota Prius bewildered, disoriented and high on coke, also like George Michael.
I'm betting you a quarter that this will happen in the not too distant future. Are you on?
