Who Knows Where That Hand Has Been?

Big week for former American Idol contestants. First Kelly Clarkson comes out and ups her cool by nabbing Mike Watt for her next record, and then Clay comes out ... well, more like was outed by Rosie O'Donnell on The View. This during Rosie's botched defense of Gayken from Ripa's diss (debate as to whether it was germophobic or the-other-phobic). There's really been no escaping this story this week. They even joked about it as Clay got all fabulous on last night's American Music Awards!

Clay gets slammed by Ripa, gets exposed by Rosie, and gets even on the AMAs. But the real victim in all of this? Blog readers!

What the hell is going on here? Being in the UK I had managed to escape this so is crazy. Are Americans really this crazy to make this into a news story? This is nothing to do with being gay, and she held is hand as they walked on. She seems to be an idiot who didn't like someone grabbing the attention while she talked. Looking at the comments on YouTube, do Americans really care about this stuff?

I fucking love this Kelly Vs. Clay drama. It's so overdone and everyone is talking about it.

... How the heck did Rosie think that was a homophobic remark? Talk about being oversensitive.

knock it off with your sexual preference issues.it should not be the only view of who you share your bed with.miss walters has made a mistake by hiring rosie o'donell as host of the view.get someone who has an education on not cramming their issues down our throats.no longer enjoying the view.rosie is a bully in the playground.

I wouldn't care what his sexual preference was and I sure she doesn't either. It was not cool and she was right to call him on it on the spot. Get over it!

To the tune of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"

Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Or plug up my ears

Her feuding and moaning
For all of these years
Could'ja cork up her piehole
With a keg full of beer?

Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Or plug up my ears

The Aiken thing is sidebar
For gossips to hunt
Rosie wishes it was her hand
On Kelly Ripa's... knee

Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Oh, won't someone shut up Rosie
Or plug up my ears

It's the beast who ate daytime
Versus Mrs. Skin And Bones
Who the hell would have guessed
That they'd make me miss Star jones?

"do American's really care about this stuff?"

Nah, dude, we only care about David Beckam and what Posh was wearing and who Prince Harry was seen with at what party and what band Liam hates this week and how Pete Doherty got arrested again and if Kate Moss was with him and blah blah blah...

You know, stupid American stuff

Cheers ;-)

haha good one nick ;)

I'd be annoyed if some twerp cupped my face on MY show as well. Saying "i don't know where that's been" is just easier than saying "Don't touch me I don't fucking know you."

why rosie associates dirty hands with gay people i don't really know. i think he secretly confided his sexuality to her and now she thinks she has to protect him from everybody.
