Well, actually one contest and one roast. There are a couple of news items as we wait for Clay to start his run on Broadway. First, he has a new contest for his fans! Members of his Official Fan Club can enter by writing a new biography for him. The winning entry will be used as his bio in Playbill and the winner will also get two tickets to SPAMALOT and a backstage tour conducted by Clay Aiken! Cool! If you are a Fan Club member, you can check out the rules here. You have until September 19 to submit your entry.
Another news tidbit is that People reports that Clay is on the list of invitees to this year's Friars Club Celebrity Roast in New York! Apparently the honoree to be roasted is the Today show host, Matt Lauer. I hope we get lots of pictures!

A Broadway play, a new baby, and to take part in a celebrity roast. I want Clay's life. It sound like too much fun- plus he gets paid for all that fun.
YAY!!! Can't wait for Clay!!! Spam and Friars and hopefully a few surprises :D
Clay Aiken will have many entries for this write a bio contest!!
Others will find out just how funny and snarky Clay Aiken is when he's at Matt Lauer's roast!
2008 has been a very busy year for Clay Aiken, and it seems it will continue to keeping him hopping.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it if someone could sneak into the Roast and get clack. Maybe Matt Lauer will show some highlights.
Clay Aiken------is da man!
Love the Clay Aiken fan club contest. He is going to be busy reading! The Friar's roast of Matt Lauer sounds interesting.

Writing a Clay Aiken biography in 150 words is going to take some real effort. You could easily write 1500 words and still miss some of the things he has done in the last 5 years.
The Clay Aiken bio contest...first time a fan can write a playbill bio for one of the performers....another first first Clay...he is groundbreaking!!!

Man, Clay is in fine company at the Matt Lauer roast! Mr. Aiken , you are doing great!
I wanna be a fly on that wall! Bet it is going to be hilarious.
Wish I could write I would love to enter this contest..But teacher Clay would redline most of it! hahaha

I'm not much of a creative writer so I'll look forward to reading the winning entries for the bio contest. As for the Matt Lauer roast, what until they get a load of Clay Aiken, aka Mr. Snarky! What a great opportunity for Clay to show off his talent and wit!
So glad he is doing the roast. People besides his fans need to see his comedic side. Clay Aiken is such a hoot!!
What tremendous excitement in Clay Nation! When Clay Aiken takes the stage next Friday Night, it's going to be like the 4th of July! An explosion of laughter, joy, fun, hilarity, and most of all, love for our wonderful guy.
The Friar's Club gig is amazing. I went to their site and there are lots of photos from prior roasts, so we'll at least get that....maybe Diane Sawyer will take some video for us, LOL.
I am so hoping for some clack at this Friar's Club appearance... Clay Aiken fans find a way! They always do if they know there is an appearance!
Yay.... can't wait!!
Deona,
Thank you for keeping us posted on the latest news. "Contests and Roasts" is another great example of your dedication.
Many thnx for your kind remarks in the Carolina blog.

I so enjoy your ruminations, Deona, that I seldom read anybody else's any more. You always have plenty of good news for us.
It sounds like a big honor for Clay Aiken to be included in a celebrity roast. Congrats Clay!
To paraphrase Forrest Gump , being a Clay Aiken fan is like a box of chocolates . You can never tell what you're going to get .
This Fall is going to be so much fun !
If we can't get video, maybe we can get audio. Who can we bribe?
Love that Clay Aiken has been invited to be part of the Matt Lauer roast. What a life that man is living!!
What a busy guy Clay Aikenis going to be in the next few months. I love that he has been invited to roast Matt Lauer. Wish I could be there. And that bio contest is a great way to get the fans involved. Can't wait to see the winner. I'm very excited about Clay returning to Spamalot.
I would love to read some of the bios that Clay Aiken fans have written about him, I bet some of them are very funny, but I am not envious of him reading all those many entries, LOL
Thanks again for the one stop shopping Deona. Ha... I SO want to write a bio but I'm pretty sure my mess wouldn't what he'd be looking for.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at that roast - I think some folks are going to be mighty surprised at how witty and snarky one Mr. Clay Aiken can be!
And Clay in Spam again - thank you, Lawwwwdddd Jesus!! I can hardly wait to see him again.
Clay will do a great job at Matt's roast! He is a natural born comic! Very very funny guy!
Clay at the Friar's Club Roast! What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall. I'll bet he's hysterical!
I wonder how many other wonderful opportunities Clay Aiken will have while he's in NYC. I wish I were able to attend Spamalot this time around, but good luck to all those who are submitting bios!!
I'm so excited for Clay Aiken & his triumphant return to Spam!! WhooHoo!!
Now this is one gig I never would have thought of for Clay AIken. I'll bet he will surprise a lot of people.
It will be great to read Clay Aiken's new biography, one written with the love of his fans.
I have been trying for days to write a bio. I just don't think I am creative enough.
Oh well, at least I will be there in October.
Great blog! Everything is coming together for Clay - I'm so pleased!
Clay Aiken was made for the Sir Robin role!
Clay Aiken as Sir Robin...perfect fit!!!
Broadway is welcoming back one of their own and his lucky fans. Can't wait to see Clay Aiken again.
That's our Clay Aiken, always coming up with something new and exciting!
Three days left until Clay Aiken returns to Broadway. Ticket sales will surely go up this weekend!!
