Corey Clark shopping a memoir that describes Idol 2's "wild, drunken sex."
American Idol 2's Corey Clark is shopping a memoir, which will undoubtedly satiate all three people who actually remember who he is and care. However, The New York Post's Cindy Adams had a look at the sample chapters, and there's some shocking stuff in there. For example, Corey thinks that Justin Guarini is "a cheeseball." Such language! And shockingly, Clay Aiken was "a geek" who "was a humble dude in the beginning." Who knew? The weirdest part: Adams reports that Corey

"describes [Paula Abdul's] Studio City Hills house: Hardwood floors. Cheetah-print carpeted stairs on both sides of the living room. Office to the left. Over that, guest bedroom. Then, pantry and black marble countertop kitchen. Over that, a dance studio lined with her awards. Upstairs, entertainment room with stereo system, older model 68-inch Mitsubishi TV. Next door, bedroom with walk-in closet 'the size of a studio apartment,' dual-head shower, built-in steam room. Modest back yard. Pool with changing lights."
Then Adams says that Corey
"describes sitting around drinking with other people. He describes other people doing more than sitting around drinking. He writes of arguments, screaming, "wild, drunken sex." His memoir makes one wonder how any of them had enough time and strength left to actually sing."
Because Cindy Adams is incapable of coherent paragraph, kids, it's unclear if this all happened at Paula Abdul's house, or at the house the cast shares. Either way, though, it sounds a shower or two will be necessary after reading the book.

April 8, 2005 -- WE'LL soon drown in "American Idol" memoirs. Simon Whatsisname did one. Winner Fantasia Barrino's doing one on her nine minutes of fame. 2002's Corey Clark, booted for an assault and battery history in Topeka, Kan., which hadn't surfaced until he got famous for seven minutes, is shopping his already written one. OK?
I've read the book's proposal and sample chapters co-authored by Scott S. Smith. And, oy! Corey gets back at everyone but the audience.

* Refers to Justin Guarini as "a cheeseball."

* Says host Ryan Seacrest "p - - - es" him off.


* Calls Ruben Studdard "The Stud" and notes he saw much more of Ruben's a - - much more often than he needed to.

* About Simon? "He didn't give a - - - - about me."

* Clay Aiken he labels "a geek" . . . "He would blow in this little pitch pipe and sing 'mi mi mi.' He was a humble dude in the beginning, and it was funny to watch his transformation into this 'I'm Clay Aiken, hear me roar' thing."

* Some fellow contestant named Marcus Brown gets gift-wrapped as "a brown-noser."

* He also talks about "the show's own bulls - - - publicity machine."

* He writes of "infighting" and everybody lying and how, at one point, he said he had been in a specific church when, as he writes, their research somehow hadn't turned up the fact that he wasn't even of that denomination.

There's really colorful stuff about Paula Abdul.


Page 2 of the "American Paula-tics" chapter describes her Studio City Hills house: Hardwood floors. Cheetah-print carpeted stairs on both sides of the living room. Office to the left. Over that, guest bedroom. Then, pantry and black marble countertop kitchen. Over that, a dance studio lined with her awards. Upstairs, entertainment room with stereo system, older model 68-inch Mitsubishi TV. Next door, bedroom with walk-in closet "the size of a studio apartment," dual-head shower, built-in steam room. Modest back yard. Pool with changing lights.

He describes "sitting around drinking with the security guards." He describes sitting around drinking with other people. He describes other people doing more than sitting around drinking. He writes of arguments, screaming, "wild, drunken sex." His memoir makes one wonder how any of them had enough time and strength left to actually sing.

He says: "After I left the show, I have never been able to bring myself to watch another episode of 'American Idol.' Apparently, lots of others do since 66 million tuned into the two-part premiere of the 2005 season.

This nice, sweet manuscript is making publishers' rounds as we speak.

Sounds like jealousy, sour grapes, and no class to me. Guess he couldn't get anyone to pay him for his singing, so he's trying to milk his 15 minutes this way. Sorta sad.

Paula lives in Studio City?! No wonder she allegedly drinks and/or takes other substances before she allegedly judges the show.

so what if clay IS gay? i still love his voice. sexual orientation is a person's own business. IMO

Regardless, don't you love the fact that he conveniently saved a washcloth? But he wasn't seeking publicity. BALDERDASH!

and he probably bought it at the GAP and it's navy blue.......why would the guy even bring it up? and how convenient that he is already out of the military, so a gay encounter doesn't affect his 'career' at all.
he probably saved the washcloth to sell it on eBay.

i just want to point out that my post about clay's 'supposed' lover does not mean i believe it or that any of my comments are to be taken as anything but sarcasm (with more than a little disgust thrown in for the man who made the claim).
if it happened, it was a private consentual moment between two adults. why would this man bring it up later? who would save DNA unless they wanted to make a buck or two?
i love clay!! his private life, whether this incident is truly part of it or not, is HIS private life. i love the public clay and that is all i (and most people) get to know of this talented man.

I'm just glad he has already taken (and passed) a lie detector test and that he has the DNA sample there, so if anyone wants to prove him a liar, all they have to do is see whether the DNA matches or not. It's quite simple really.

We talked about this in the Hollywood Gossip thread a few weeks ago and I don't think anyone is really surprised about anyone's sexual orientation anymore...and I don't think him trolling around for tricks on the internet is any big deal, either; if he enjoys it, I could care less. But the stuff about unprotected sex? That's worrisome.

why would it matter if this person took and passed a lie detector test and has a DNA sample? and why would he take a lie detector test and save a
DNA sample in the first place? he obviously wanted to make a scene/embarrass clay/make some money off the story.
a private life should be a private life.
i would not be disgusted with clay, i would be disgusted with a partner who kissed and told!

And would it really matter - no matter what Clay does these suspicions will always follow him around - he could get married and have a dozen children and people would still spread these rumors.

i think clay should be entitled to whatever 'bliss' he finds, without someone demeaning it! gay, straight, bi...it doesn't change his voice or his appeal. because if we only listened to music or went to a movie or read a book based on the singer's or actor's or director's or author's sexual orientation, we'd have nothing much to enjoy!

from page six....

THE Christians are not standing by their man. After Clay Aiken's alleged affair with John Paulus was made public, and it was reported he trolled for men on gay Web sites, some of his fans sued his label, RCA, for misrepresentation. Aiken's bible-thumping album was then postponed and he was disinvited from Sunday's Pure Fashion show in Atlanta, which is "committed to promoting the virtues of modesty and purity in our culture." Pure Fashion national director Brenda Sharman sent out this e-mail to members: "We were so excited about Clay Aiken appearing as a young man who promotes Christianity in the music industry, and then we started to be inundated with e-mails referring to scandal. We searched for his public response and couldn't find one, so at this time we will have to err on the side of caution until these matters are resolved." Aiken was replaced by Christian singer Rebecca St. James.

I see the latest gossip has arrived in this thread. Page SIx, a bastion of "real" news.

This information originated on a disgruntled failed gay porn actor's site (note: the man admits he is a gay porn actor, I just added failed since he was fired), then copied to a gossip columnist with additional (not) information and then picked up without any confirmation buy page six and even more fake information was added to that.

I won't add any information to this, but there are at least 10 glaring errors in this "news item", and basically it mistates some "facts" and quotes a very naive women's email response to an e-mail from a stranger that for some odd reason she trusted.

I could go into details, but this thread is pretty much unread, so I will leave it at this: When dealing with gossip columns, use a large salt lick - deer sized and listen to George Clooney, he knows what of he speaks.

Sadiesmom,
My heart has been aching for Clay (no pun intended)
I have seen and read some if the accusations, but as you said it needs a large salt lick.
On the plus side there is a new Clay calendar for sale on Amazon. As you can tell I love Clay.

My heart is not aching for anyone, I just think gossip should be kept in perspective, it belongs right there with Batboy captures Saddam Hussein and Tom Cruise is an alien. It is gossip only because there is not fact. If there were fact, it would be news.

On topic, the calendars are nicely innexpensive as opposed to the price that calendars.com tried to charge. It has been 9 days since the last blog and I am hoping more tidbits are released soon about the album.

I hope I am catching all the errors in my spelling today, I broke the fingers in my hand 10 years ago and I am having a bad arthritis day today as a result.

Thanks for the updates Sadiesmom. I've been wondering what Clay was up to. Honestly, it doesn't surprise me that he has fallen from grace with the bible-thumping crowd. They put him on too high of a pedastal and he was bound to disappoint them in some way. It's really too bad as he is only human.

So, is his next album going to be a religious one? I really hope not.

Clay is working with Clive Davis on his album and plans on having some older songs, with new arrangements and also some great new songs, maybe some from the JBT.
