Clay Aiken is going to star in the Broadway play Spamalot. The "American Idol" runner-up will play the lead role of Sir Robin, which was originally played by David Hyde Pierce (a.k.a., that guy from "Frasier"). Aiken's run with the production will begin on January 18th and go through May 4th.

 

Aiken will join Jennifer Hudson and Tamyra Gray as ex-"Idol" contestants who have transitioned into musicals. Hudson stars in The Color Purple and Gray has a role in Rent.

And on the 8th day, God said, "Turn off that damn Clay Aiken album!"



Clay Aiken is scheduled to perform at a Wichita church on November 26th, and it seems that some of the churchgoers are concerned.
