Clay Steps To Adam - 'Idol' Says 'Step Off': Did Clay Aiken approach "American Idol" standout Adam Lambert about a possible tour and duets album? According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Clay reportedly reached out to Adam last week about collaborating on a future project. The "Measure Of A Man" singer reportedly showed up unannounced on the "Idol" set and was given the cold shoulder by the staff of the FOX reality competition. Reportedly an "Idol" staff member told the Sun-Times that the show is not happy with Clay for leaving 19 Entertainment, the show's management company. "To say the least, it was tense around here when Clay showed up," the staffer told the paper. "And boy, did they hustle him off the premises as fast as possible. If he didn't get the hint after that -- he never will.'' Not that we don't love Clay, but we'd like to suggest to Adam to never duet with him or any other former "Idol"... ever!

Paris Hilton's 'Key' To Throwing A Good Party: Paris Hilton's guests are far from hospitable. The socialite threw a huge party at her new Hollywood Hills home Monday night and some of her guests "did some vandalizing" which included, "keying some of the cars" and "egging some of the cars," a LAPD spokesperson told Access Hollywood. Though police said Paris is not a suspect, the heiress should probably not expect a "Welcome To The Neighborhood" fruit basket from her neighbors - and likely also a bill for the damage!

    I like Clay Aiken's voice and I do feel he should have won the American Idol # one spot and not Rueban Stoddard. I also feel for the first time I do not agree with Donald Trumps pick for #one instead of the card player. Why did Trump not show what each had done in the last episode? And, why did he just say how much more each had brought in? A dead give-a-way was said, "Mone

    How stupid is this Clay story. Whether Adam wins or not 19 will have him in their clutches. These kids , who become the winners, sign a very restricted Contract that owns them for years. They make no decisions on their own once they sign. Recordings made have to get their approval with RCA- and they hold their careers in their hands. Clay approaching Adam for duet and Tour -?????

    I read an interview that Clay did recently and he said he is not even watching idol this year and hasn't been for several years! So I don't believe this crap. Idol has had a grudge against Clay every since he dumped 19 entertainment back in 03 and they think he talked Kelly Clarkson into doing the same thing. Although he did come back to idol in 06 when Taylor Hicks won.

    I don't know if I believe this story or not...First of all, Clay doesn't seem like the style that would be so in a hurry to just pop in on the american idol set..I do believe that he would want to do an album with Adam. I just don't know if it will turn out well, though...Adam is more of a rock type guy and Clay is more of a soulful kind of singer. But, who knows...

    Clay doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to want anything to do with that flamboyant piece of fluff. Comparatively he seems very conservative. I suspect the only truth to that story is that 19 Entertainment is angry at Clay for dropping their asses. I wonder why he felt the need to do that?
