As of the most recent episode of Celebrity Apprentice, Clay Aiken and Arsenio Hall are the final 2 contestants! The last task, which began on this past Sunday night and will be completed live this coming Sunday night, involves a charity show and party, ticket selling and a PSA. Clay and Arsenio have some of their former competitors on their team to help them win. Both finalists have already run into problems in part 1 of the finale, from lack of locations for the PSA to bad coast to coast communication with a film crew. I'm excited for Clay and glad that the finale involves a friendly rivalry. Too bad that I won't be home-will be going to Americus, GA for a family reunion. My dvr is set and I'll be watching in the motel on the edge of my seat(The family reunion is older than Celebrity Apprentice.) ! The show is a great opportunity for both celebrities and their charities; The National Inclusion Project and The Magic Johnson Foundation. For more on Celebrity Apprentice; check out my "friendly rivalry..." post on my other blog, ApplaUSe For A Cause.

Holy cliffhanger,Batman ! This past Sunday's episode has Apprentice fans and Claymates on the edge of their seat and next week looks to be similar. The previews for this past week show Trump announcing that 2 will be fired, but that's in addition to Lisa Lampenelli being fired. Teresa Guidice is also fired this episode and another will be fired next Sunday.Let's hold on to our seats and to the hope that Clay wins for the National Inclusion Project.

I want to wish Clay, his family, and all of you a very happy Easter! Happy passover to those celebrating passover, too.

Check out this video- these people from Hungary really have the Spirit of Easter;

So what is everyone doing for Easter or Passover? It's going to be a quiet holiday. I've had a flareup with lymphedema in my left foot and am just getting over a stomach bug. I may celebrate later.

Who is Clay Aiken? I think only he and his friends and family really know him, but his fans have gotten to know him pretty well while respecting his privacy. Is he "the boy next door" who sang and won our hearts in American Idol and gave his heart to kids in need? Is he the "King Of Controversy'' ? Is he a music Superstar? Or a snarky comedian? These are just a few facets of the man and singer, Clay Aiken

Thanks to all the Clack Gatherers and Makers

The Boy Next Door

A young adult walked onto a stage in January of 2003 to audition for American Idol. He didn't make it the first round but got another chance. One judge looked at this man and said that he '..didn't look like a pop star, but you have a great voice..' He was runner up on the show but he won a lot of hearts and keeps on winning. Once he studied to become a special ed. teacher and has used his stardom to help kids in need through UNICEF and his own foundation, The National Inclusion Project. He is so considerate of his fans and yet maintains his own privacy. He shakes hundreds of his fans' hands after nearly every concert, with some risk due to food allergies that even a touch from someone eating certain items can cause great harm. Now, this singer with a heart of Gold is competing on Celebrity Apprentice to win 250,000 dollars for the National Inclusion Project.

"King Of Controversy"

From the time he first became famous, Clay has been involved in a few controversies. Some happened before and after he came out in 2008 in People Magazine. Some of the controversies happened due to something he did or said, and sometimes it just seems like he gets in trouble without trying. Gossip rags and websites like to make more controversies then there really is about Clay. It's enough at times to give Clay's publicist a heart attack :D !

Superstar Clay

From American Idol, to Platinum Albums, to Broadway to the Apprentice, Clay has proven to be a superstar. If you've been to one of his concerts, you know that he (and his band) provide not only musical prowess, but comedy as well. There's a bit of everything in one of his concerts. The only problem is a lack of radio airplay in recent years. Sometimes I think I would like to be his publicist for a week- but dealing with real or contrived controversies would be my downfall! :D

Clay, the Snarky Comedian In his concerts, on Broadway and on tv and other places, you can observe the wit of Clay. Sometimes he's funny on purpose and sometimes he's funny by accident. Yo can even catch a funny and cute moment from this past Sunday's episode of The Apprentice, featuring Clay and Arsenio wrestling on Entertainment Weekly.

So who is Clay Aiken, anyway? &nbs

p; He's a little bit of all of these combined into one person. Thank you, Clay, for sharing yourself with your fans and the world.
