Clay Aiken was a runner-up in American Idol in 2002, but has somehow remained famous. Women seem to love him because he's tiny, he has messy hair and he's openly gay. Women love the stupidest things. Now, though, Clay is pissed off at this season's Idol because of runner-up Adam Lambert. For those who don't know who he is, Adam's the one who's tiny, has messy hair and is possibly gay. Surprise, women love him too.

Clay blasted this season's runner-up on his Web site, mocking Lambert's rendition of "Ring of Fire" as "contrived," "awful" and "slightly frightening."

According to Aiken, he tunes into the show about once a season — and this year, he caught Lambert's take on Johnny Cash and thought his ears would bleed... He also thinks the series showed bias for Lambert over eventual champ Kris Allen and has focused on "slick productions and polished contestants" rather than raw talent. (AP)

Sounds like Clay's got a nasty case of, "Oh crap, this dude is just like me only newer and better," and is doing what he can to stay in the spotlight. That, or he's got a major manjina crush and wants to be noticed by Adam. Nothing says "love me" like "I hate you." All Clay has to do is insult Adam's friends, clothes, and career and you've got every family dinner I've ever been to. Good luck at not fading into oblivion, buddy.
