As if the bottom-of-the-barrel scraping couldn't get any worse, this clown is going to get a gig on Broadway.
Clay Aiken will join the Broadway cast of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” on Jan. 18, playing one of the leads, Sir Robin, in the Tony Award-winning musical directed by Mike Nichols.

Whoa, Mills, you in a bad mood or something? Ha. Clay has always been the type of singer that people look at and go, "He needs to be on Broadway, not in the studio trying to make pop music." That said, I don't thing "Spamalot" is the right choice here ... is he even funny? Guess we'll find out.

Is it just me, or does Clay look a lot like a porky Martin Short in that pic?

Yeah - the dude looks bloated. However, I gotta agree with Iceman on this, Mills. He should be on B'way...maybe not Spamalot, but definitely on B'way. He absolutely has the pipes for it.

Check out Kathy Griffin and her new beau, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, hit up the grand opening of Diablo's Cantina at the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino on Saturday night. Griffin, who split with her husband last year -- after accusing him of stealing over $70,000 from her.

Bobby Brown Thursday!

I don't know about you, but I sure miss "Being Bobby Brown." Well, thank God for YouTube. Here are some fun Bobby clips for your Thursday. You'll thank me for the "throw back" third one.
Loser
--Reality star Jonny Fairplay is suing another reality star – Danny Bonaduce – for battery and infliction of emotional distress for tossing him during an awards show last week. The suit stems from the pair's confrontation onstage during the FOX Reality Really Channel awards. Fairplay, 33, was being jeered by the audience when Bonaduce, 48, came out and said into the microphone, "They're booing because they hate you." A moment later, Fairplay (real name: Jon Dalton) jumped into the arms of Bonaduce, who tossed the former Survivor star over his head. Fairplay landed on his face, and lost several teeth. Police investigated the incident and declined to press charges, calling Bonaduce's actions "self-defense."
But on Tuesday, Fairplay filed the lawsuit against the former Partridge Family star, as well as FOX reality channel, the show's producers and the club venue where the event took place. Fairplay claims that the incident has caused him "great mental, physical and nervous pain and suffering." He is suing for an undisclosed amount of "general damages." Click here to read the complaint.
This guys is a total loser. I'm kinda glad Bonaduce caused him to lose a few toophers.

Again, watch the video ... no chance this doesn't get thrown out, just like Fairplay himself. He jumped on Bonaduce and started monkey climbing him ... what would you do?

--ThalÃa has welcomed her first child with her music executive husband Tommy Mottola. Sabrina Sakaë was born Sunday morning in New York and weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. (It seems like soooo long ago that he was married to Mariah).
--Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts, the two biggest female stars of our time, are possibly heading for a teaming up. The movie in question is a Kidman project called "Monte Carlo," based on a novel called "Headhunters." The story concerns three Midwestern school teachers who pose as socialites in the worldÂ’s glamorous gambling capital and wind up snaring billionaires. ItÂ’s sort of an update on "How to Marry a Millionaire."
--And, on the Britney front: Her weekend consisted of 1) making up w/ her mama and sister; 2) missing her visitation w/ the kiddies; 3) partying; 4) and Taco Bell.

Poor, Troubled Bonaduce
--A court commissioner ruled Wednesday that Britney Spears can have visits with her two sons but did not reverse an order giving temporary custody to Kevin Federline, the pop star's ex-husband, his attorney said. Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon was expected to issue an order detailing the visitation rights, attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said. The order was not released by the time court closed for the day. Federline attended the hearing but Spears did not.
--Former child star Danny Bonaduce has been named as the suspect in a felony battery report after allegedly beating up a U.S. reality TV star at an awards show. The Partridge Family star stunned the audience at the Fox Reality Channel Really Awards on Tuesday night when he jumped up onstage and attacked Survivor star Jonny Fairplay. The reality star lost a few teeth in the fracas, according to Tmz.com. Speaking on the Adam Carolla radio show in Los Angeles on Wednesday, co-host Bonaduce admitted he has had a thing against Fairplay ever since the reality TV star lied about his grandmother dying, in order to get sympathy on the show. Bonaduce revealed the fight started after Fairplay - real name Jon Dalton - poked fun at him from the stage.
--New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, 32, and his wife, Cynthia, 34, are expecting a baby next spring, they have revealed. "Cynthia and I are overjoyed to announce this addition to our family," says the athlete. “We realize what a special gift children are, and feel very blessed to welcome our second child." The two-time American League MVP and his wife of nearly five years already have a daughter, Natasha, 2.
--Single Hollywood stars Jennifer Aniston and Orlando Bloom have prompted rumors of a romance, after they were spotted getting close at their manager's wedding. The pair are both represented by Aleen Keshishian, and traveled to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico to celebrate her marriage, along with other clients Natalie Portman, Laura Linney and Bloom's ex-girlfriend Kate Bosworth. Fellow guests claim Aniston and Bloom immediately latched onto each other and spent much of the ceremony together. A source tells Life & Style magazine. "When they got down to Mexico, they just gravitated to each other. They sat next to each other for both the rehearsal dinner and the actual ceremony. Their super-flirty behavior surprised some of the other guests, but they didn't look like they cared who was watching because they were so into each other." Representatives for both stars insist they are just good friends. (Can I call them Aniblo?)
--When Angelina Jolie stepped out in a midriff-baring tank top, her emaciated stomach nearly ruined In Touch's plans for this week's cover: "Is Angelina Jolie pregnant?" To protect its story, the glossy bought exclusive rights to the shots of her taut torso "so no other weeklies could run them," said an insider. In Touch claims Jolie gained 10 pounds in her chest, but conveniently cropped the photo above her flat stomach. "When Angelina showed up looking so skinny, they bought the photos," our source said. The mag says, "The most striking area of Angelina's weight gain is in her chest, which is why we focused on that area."
--As NBC's "American Gladiators" remake begins to take shape, the network is turning to elsewhere in the world of "sports entertainment" for the show's host. Pro-wrestling legend and VH1 reality star Hulk Hogan is on board to serve as the show's host. Though the deal is still being finalized, TV Week reports that both NBC and the Hulkster (real name: Terry Bollea) are gung-ho about the series, which is likely to find a midseason berth on the network. (Sweet! I totally loved this show!)
--"Go cry to your bald mom, you [bleeping] loser," Charlie Sheen wrote to Denise Richards in an e-mail the actress included in documents filed last week in L.A. Superior Court in the couple's custody battle. "You are a pig. A sad, jobless pig who is sad and talentless and sad and jobless and evil and a bad mom, so go [bleep] yourself sad jobless pig," reads another. "You are an evil piece of [bleep]. I can't wait to tell the world what a piece of [bleep] you are. You don't get a [bleeping] dime till this is resolved," says a third e-mail. Richards says in her court filing that she was particularly hurt by the one about her mother, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatments for cancer. Pictures of Sheen's "erect penis" that Richards says he used for his profile on sex sites are also included, which Richards claims he e-mailed to "approximately 30 women." "I'd love to give it to you any time," Sheen wrote to one woman under the screen name "mrjonze55." Richards says Sheen even visited gay pornography sites - "which I found even more disturbing because I felt that the boys looked underage," the documents state. Richards accuses Sheen of punching the headboard of their bed once in a rage, and telling her that by no longer breast-feeding, she was causing their daughter, Sam, to "become retarded." "He took a large wedding photo off the wall. He had it placed in our garage. He sawed the picture in half and took spray paint and sprayed 'the dumbest day of my life,' " Richards claims in the documents. (Um...whoa).
--People can't get enough of Jennifer Aniston. Neither can Us Weekly, Star or other popular celebrity magazines. Aniston sits atop Forbes.com's first-ever analysis of top-selling famous faces, based on several factors, including newsstand sales of celebrity weeklies People, Us Weekly, In Touch Weekly, Life & Style, OK! and Star over a six-month period ending June 30, as supplied by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The 38-year-old actress graced six covers - appearing on every magazine except In Touch Weekly at least once during the time period - with her face collectively selling more than 5 million copies, the Web site said Tuesday. Aniston's ex-husband, Brad Pitt, takes second place on the list, followed by Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Valerie Bertinelli and Kelly Ripa.
--Evan Handler, who played Charlotte's bald but lovable hubby, Harry Goldenblatt, on "Sex and the City," reported to his first day of filming for the movie version on Tuesday, when he was a guest at Big and Carrie's wedding. But production had to be halted a few times because of a chronic hiccuping problem Handler has developed. "It's been going on now for the past two years," he said in between hiccups. "Sometimes it goes on for two, three days straight. So, it was happening a little while filming, yes. But I can get in under control. I go to a quiet corner and redirect my breathing and center myself."
--Oh, for the love of no, Courtney...

Ok, so what did everyone think about the Rock of Love finale? I liked Jess all along, so I was happy with his choice. Thank God he didn't keep that crazy Lacey around. Heather, was just too, well trashtastic--even for Bret.

I watched the video -- Bonaduce did not attack Fairplay. If anything, Fairplay did the "attacking" because he jumped on Bonaduce and started dry-humping him, prompting Bonaduce to lift him over his head to get rid of him, and then Fairplay fell flat on his mouth. Looked like a poorly staged encounter if you ask me.
Hard to imagine anyone being "too trashy" for Bret Michaels, but after watching the series, he seems like a pretty good guy (can't hate on him for livin' the hairband lifestyle!), while she is just ... trashtastic. I would have picked Jess from day one, and since she's reportedly available already, there's still a chance!

Diaz, 35, and newly-divorced (from Jennifer Esposito) Cooper, 32, were spotted caressing each other during a meal at Morgans Hotel in the city. They were also spotted enjoying a New York Giants game on Sunday night. A source tells New York gossip column PageSix, "(They) were very close and lovely. Something is definitely going on, and it's clear they are more than just friends."
--O.J. Simpson was minus one Rolex watch - real or otherwise - Tuesday after a judge ordered him to hand it and other assets over to the father of slaying victim Ron Goldman. Superior Court Judge Gerald Rosenberg also ordered the former football star to turn over any future royalties from a videogame in which he appears and any of the disputed memorabilia he can prove is his that Las Vegas police seized when they arrested him last month on robbery, kidnapping and other charges.
--Wrestler-turned-movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has made history at his former college by handing over $1 million to fund football facilities at the University Of Miami. The action man, who played football at the Florida university a decade ago, now becomes the most generous former student athlete in the school's history. Johnson's cash gift will help to fund renovation in the university's athletic department. The Miami Hurricanes' football locker room will be renamed in the actor's honour. In making the donation on Tuesday, Johnson said, "My wife Dany and I have always said that being a student athlete here at the University Of Miami has always been a tremendous part of our lives. I have said it time and time again, that this program was a launching pad for my success." Johnson and his wife met at the university. They announced their separation in June.
--It's over between Tory Burch and Lance Armstrong. The fashion designer and the Tour de France champion had been dating for a year, but decided to break up Monday. "It's a geographical thing," said an insider. "They're friends. It's amicable. They really like each other. The logistics were too much." Tory has a brood of six kids (counting her ex-husband's children from a previous marriage). Lance has three young tots.
--Leonardo DiCaprio's Israeli model girl friend, Bar Refaeli, dodged her country's mandatory military service - and couldn't be prouder.

--A California judge temporarily stripped Britney of custody of her sons.
(Hmmm...I'm thinking she either didn't go to one of her parenting classes, or didn't take and/or failed one of her drug tests. What do you guys think?)

According to a family lawyer on tv last night, there's only two ways that a mother typically loses custody.
1) physical abuse
2) drugs
The former seems very unlikely, while the latter seems extremely likely.

Everyone assumes she wants the kids. Silly assumption in my opinion. Sometime mothers do not have motherly feelings or instincts. My bet is she is, if not happy, certainly relieved she does not have to deal with them any longer. Maybe her Ex will grow up a bit and really take care of them. He certainly can't do worse than her, can he?
