Season 2 American Idol contestant Carmen Rasmusen is coming out to say that the Idols who the producers would like to see win are given preferential treatment. In an article she wrote for the Deseret News, Carmen talks about these discrepancies. She says, "I only received minimal vocal coaching from American Idol voice instructor Debra Byrd" while she listened to favored contestants like Clay Aiken receiving over a half hour of quality feedback and lessons each week. She also says she ws given no feedback on her performing or wardrobe choices, while it was obvious other contestants had a lot of help. Is this fair? Of course not. But that's Idol for you. Our guess is that Brooke is going to receive the Rasmusen treatment this week while the Davids are given extra attention.

Apparently Clay is turning into a lesbian? He gets more sexually ambiguous by the day. What do you think?

The pictures speak for themselves. Ohnotheydidnt has posted some pictures of Clay Aiken in his role as Sir Robin on Broadway's Spamalot. Thoughts? Jokes?

After being outed countless times this month, Clay Aiken decides to fire back on a fansite, asking people to enter a contest to create joke scandals involving him as a joke on his website. Clay, Clay, Clay, you're setting yourself up here, buddy, and so we'll set you up too. He posted:

Come up with the most outlandish story you can that places me (either alone or with others close to me) in a really juicy/tawdry/scandalous/shameful story. Then, use any photos, videos, audio clips of me that you can find along with your favorite multimedia enhancing/"doctoring" program (like a PhotoShop or a sound/video editor) to create your "evidence"! Maybe you have "pictures" of me being "abducted by oversized turnips"... or ... "video" of me "dancing with a three legged gorilla". Be creative!

Turnips and gorillas? Lame, we can do so much better with sordid sex scandals and other REAL drama. And if you can come up with the most hilarious entry, you'll win yourself your very own VFTW T-shirt, just for making fun of Clay. What a deal! Keep reading for more info...

Is this his way of slowly coming out of the closet? Perezhilton.com has exclusive pics of Clay Aiken chatting online, looking to hook up with guys on Manhunt.com. Now, we don't care either way if Clay decides he wants to be openly gay or not, because I'm not sure anyone wants him on their team.

But if you're going to stay in the closet, at least be a little more careful about the stuff you do in online interactions (and maybe take a shower or two if you're gonna use a webcam, buddy).
