Love him or hate him, Clay Aiken just doesn't seem to want to budge off of the pop-culture radar. Since rocketing into fame on the second season of American Idol, Clay's kept himself mighty busy between touring, making guest appearances on talk shows and recording his new album, On My Way Here.
In case you haven't been keeping a close watch on Clay's career, here's what he's been up for all this time. After the release of 2003's Measure of a Man, which sold more copies than Idol winners Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, Clay launched eight successful live tours. Not bad for a runner-up. He also authored a New York Times bestseller, Learning to Sing: Hearing the Music in Your Life, and had his own televised Christmas special in 2004 titled "A Clay Aiken Christmas."
Besides working on music, Clay used his fame for a few worthy causes. He created the Bubel/Aiken Foundation in 2003, which promotes the inclusion of children with disabilities in activities with non-disabled children. He accepted a UNICEF ambassadorship in 2004, and in 2006 George W. Bush appointed him to become part of a committee for the Department of Health and Human Services that advises about programs for kids with disabilities.
As if that weren't enough, Clay made his Broadway debut earlier this year playing the role of Sir Robin in Monty Python's Spamalot.
Clay Aiken is a busy guy, but he luckily found the time to chat with Kiwibox about his latest album, On My Way Here, in stores right now. We asked him what it's like to constantly be in the spotlight, how he finds time to tackle his many projects and, of course, what it's like to perform on Broadway.

I love Clay Aiken so much. I have all his albums and even a
website on American Idol which has tons of pictures of Clay. I
also have been to his Christmas concert that he had here.
