Clay Aiken fans may be behind Adam Lambert smears

Claims in the media that claim Adam Lambert is a rude diva may have come from Clay Aiken fans, at least one site is claiming.
According to ClayAiken411, “Claymates” (fans of Aiken) were behind the diva story first reported by MSNBC regarding Adam Lambert. The story was spread in an attempt to “get even” with Lambert after his stoush with Aiken last month.
The original report included multiple quotes from people who were allegedly connected to the shows, claiming that Lambert was a massive diva, rude to staff, and that he’d never get ahead with an attitude like that. What was surprising about the allegations was the timing: not once before has Lambert been accused of such behavior.
Aiken and Lambert have never met before, but drew headlines together after Aiken attacked Adam’s singing. Lambert jokingly responded later that Aiken was trying to ride his coat tails.

Courtney Hazlett, always the liar, is the hack reporter behind this BS
Jun 6, 2009
finally some sense on the matter!!! Of course Adam is wonderful.. and untouchable.. LOVE YA ADAM..
Jun 6, 2009
I want to add that Perez Hilton has also acknowledge that any slams against Adam were being spread by Claymates. But more than that, you have to look at Courtney Hazlett of MSNBC and wonder if she should be fire for reporting something to wrong – she didn't have any names in her story, only unnamed sources. Word is she was offended Adam didn't have time for an interview with her. Of course, the more popular you are, the more false reporting will go on. It's disgusting. Hazlett should resign! ADAM is the best and wouldn't hurt a fly.

This whole thing is ridiculous. Ms. Hazlett should check her sources. I can't believe msnbc would actually print such nonsense! Us Lambert fans knew it was all lies and are happy someone in the media is finally getting to the bottom of this.

What is with Clay Aiken? What is motivating him to slur Adam Lambert like this? What did Adam Lambert do to him to evoke such VENOM? Why doesn't he just go back to doing whatever he was doing before he ever heard about Adam Lambert? Sounds to me like he is envious that Adam Lambert has achieved such worldwide fame in such a short time. If he was such a difficult person, how come so many people LOVE him all over the world? And finally, what makes Clay Aiken such an authority on Adam OR Music? GROW UP CLAY!!!

Clay Aiken is a weirdo fagot anyway….not worth the news mention.

Aiken fans are so cruel in nature, like him. Sorry you all have failed. We would never believe the grapevine you have spread. Because truth will prevail. In all our videos we have seen, Adam Lambert has always appeared warm-hearted, cool, generous in his praises and portraying a wonderful SMILE ALWAYS. He has wonderful relationships with everybody, young to old. And his objective is to help people to carry on their dreams. We are all inspired by Adam, including my daughter who wants to sing like him.
Even with the latest paparazzi video who pursues him down the staircase all the way to the car, he was talking politely to them and smiling for them to let him go to the car and to take photos if they want. He has never LOST HIS COOL OR BEHAVE LIKE A DIVA. Instead his driver is getting all hysterical and trying frantically to STOP the parapazzis. Then he asked Adam “What to do”. Adam replied laughingly “I don't know”. Its so cute and funny.
Adam always makes us laugh and be happy in life, whoever we are. Thanks Adam. WE WILL NEVER BELIEVE THOSE EVIL PEOPLE. They are so lame and got nothing else better to be or to do. I have never known Clay and will never want to do. Sorry.

It could be Clay Aiken's fans that started this Adam smear.How can they stoop so so low?
Jun 6, 2009
Courtney Hazlett should first publicly apologize to Adam, his family and friends, his legion of devoted fans, and then to the backstage American Idol concert workers who truly do respect and admire Adam, and then MSNBC should FIRE her sorry behind. Trash journalists like Courtney Hazlett, come a dime a dozen. Despite all her education, Courtney Hazlett still managed to stir things up, step back, and watch the huge mess unfold, while remaining silent. She never got the other side of the story because there wasn't another side to the story. Courtney Hazlett's tabloid trash and desperate lies to get her one minute of fame backfired. Shame on her and shame on MSNBC for releasing an “article” that did nothing but fuel anger, prejudice, and resentment. Courtney Hazlett can't hide behind Aiken's Claymates. All fingers point to Courtney Hazlett.

Clay Aiken has fans?
Jun 6, 2009
The site in question is run by a psychopath who has stalked Clay for years and will do anything to destroy him. It's all lies, as are the other crazy things that he's reported. It wouldn't take a person very long to determine that. Now the guy has taken an interest in Adam, too, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start making up crap about him, as well.
Jun 6, 2009
I don't know if Clay Aiken fans are behind the rumors of Adam Lambert being a diva. But, I can tell you as a Adam Lambert fan there is no way I would believe such a statement anyway. First off Courtney Hazlett – the originator of the first piece is well known for writting garbage about stars. To the point that all of her work is considered Hollywood trash and no one puts any merit behind anything from her. In fact I pretty much believe she makes up her stories about Hollywood Stars. How many times has she been made to publically apologize to the star she had personally and publically offended all ready? I believe they should just star suing her for slander from here on out.
As far as Adam Lambert is concerned I do not think he should even bother rebutting the article. His family, friends and fans all know and love him the way he is. HE is not a DIVA. Adam is a fantastic singer. Adam is a MAN of many talents. Adam is OMG Sexy! Adam is a trend setter. Adam is a great dancer! Adam is going to go stratosphere and a lot of people are jealous. But Adam also treats everyone well. Where is the proof? Just in AI alone you saw week after week, video after video, interview, candid shots and if you were lucky enough like some you got to be in the audience during a performance followed by an autograph session. The guy is geniune and sweet and just a great guy. What is really amazing is how articulate and intelligent he is during interviews and how refreshing his take on various subject matters really is. Is that due to his left brain thought? Hmmmmm, who knows. But many of my friends at work and at school are all a buzz about Adam Lambert. They want to know what he is wearing, where did he get those jeans, the boots, the belts, his jackets…. They want to know which hair color out of what bottle is he wearing and what color is his nail polish! They want to know what scent he dabs on and whose guy liner does he really wear. There is an endless debate about underwear and if he is a boxer or a briefs guy and who would he look the best wearing. It is crazy. I want to know more about his music, if he would ever do a Adam Lambert Velvet Goldmine story? Would he do movies and if yes I see him as a romantic comedy just waiting to happen. I can totally see him teaming up with Michael Buble but would love to see and hear him with Madonna. Things I don't see coming true are any of the DIVA rumors.
Thank you to all of the folks from Michael Slezak to Best Week Ever and more for coming to the AID of Adam Lambert and showing the freak shows who try to bash on him we (his fans) won't buy it, won't care and won't support you with your weak efforts. Anyone who would like to get on the sue and or fire Courtney Hazlett band wagon let me know. Go Adam!
Jun 6, 2009
Nope . The entire story has no real facts to back it up . Certainly Adam is no diva nor is he rude . I think the claymate tie -in was a lame attempt for attention by a well known celebrity stalker and he got it . What a shame .

That article doesn't make much sense. Adam Lambert publically acknowledge the band almost each and every performance he did. He talked about the lighting crew and the guys behind the scenes whenever they allowed him time to bring up how he made his entrances. I heard him on several interviews where he brought up about how the guys said we have frozen ice and a lift and how that's how his entrance came about. Or where they said you can come down the stairs and we can have them all lit up. I mean they really had some cool entrances. No one else in AI did that. Adam really showed respect for the band, was obviously WAYYYYYYYY IMPRESSED AND IN AWE OF RICKY MINOR, and he really thanked the folks behind the scenes. Not another single Ido did. He backs people up. He was the only Idol who went to bat for Kara and he did it on Larry King Live and at the final AI show in an interview defended her song. He again was the only Idol who did. He stood up for Michael Sarver at an autograph signing, Ooooooooohhhhhhhh and Megan Joy! Both of these Idols were being the butt of many a jokes and Adam who was signing autographs came to their defense. He didn't have to. But he was there. He said look you guys only see a small part of these guys BUT Sarver if he gets the right Country record will be great. He said that Megan Joy had an original sound and would also be big, even in Country too. But he said something like every single one of the Top 10 could have won as it was based on votes and so we had to watch them to see what they do. But all the top 10 Idols were going to be really great. Of course I'm paraphrasing. He also gushed about Anoop and Matt Giraud and Allison and the Tour and duets and Kris Allen. I mean heck he was so nice and so grateful and so accommodating to all of us how anyone could say he was a DIVA is crazy. And then his people had to drag him away. It was funny because he was like Aweeeeeeeeee I'm having fun! After being that close to him and listening to him talk about how cool all of the Idols were and how he respected and admired each one of them and how happy he was that Kris was the one to win I realized that Adam Lambert really was a winner in my eye. He is going to be one of those really great artist who overcome huge obstacles. This being one of them.

Dang Adam Lambert is one heck of a Sexy Man. Where did he get that jacket and that jewel he is wearing is so different! Can I just say trend setter! Who dresses this man? I know I would like to! Hee, hee! Just kidding…wait no I am not! Adam you are a Hottie!
Jun 6, 2009
I love Adam!!!
Jun 6, 2009
Adam fans beware! This only the beginning, it is a shame that this mess has happened. But there it is. I really doubt that Clay fans are behind this. Seriously, they are just fans, like you are with Adam. I can't say there aren't strange people out there, but I would not lump all fans into one group.
I like Adam, I think he is talented and will do well. I like Clay too and he has entertained me at several concerts. There is room in the world for both because they are completely different.
I see no reason for anyone here to say cruel things about either of them. Just enjoy the talent they offer and try and stay off these sites because they only insight angry that is very misplaced. Adam will face these kinds of rumors and there is nothing you can do about it. But don't go crazy ..let it go. Both guys are good guys really ..let's move on.
Jun 6, 2009
Adam, we would never believe such nonsense! We think you're fantastic and hope Michael Jackson will write a song for you, Queen will guest on your new album and Gene Simmons tongue will be hanging out when he hears your new CD! Love Ya!
Jun 6, 2009
Beware of Clay haters and John Paulus is the # 1 destroyer. Adam Lambert fans beware of this person and he is a psycho!
Jun 6, 2009
lol! Adam is the sweetest guy in the world he's even nice to paparatzi!
Jun 6, 2009
I don't know whether or not Clay's fans were behind this but the important thing is that we all know it's not true. Even disregarding how sweet and gracious he was on AI or how everyone who works with him says wonderful things about him, just that one horrible video on youtube where he gets chased by this flock of paps laughing like wild hyenas and still manages to be incredibly sweet is enough to prove to anyone that he's as far as you can get from a diva.
Jun 7, 2009
This is false. The people responsible for the untrue reports is ClayAiken 411 and John Paulus who is a Clay Aiken stalker. They have been working hard for a long time to ruin Clay's career. They tell lies about him and plant false stories in the tabloids about him. If only he would file a lawsuit against them. Maybe soon that will happen..
Jun 7, 2009
I like Adam a lot. My daughter and I voted so much for him. I am also a Clay Aiken fan. They are both wonderful guys. Some people would love to see trouble for them and keep trying to stir it up.. Those stories about Clay and about Adam have no credible sources. Just ugly gossip to cause problems for them.
Jun 7, 2009
When Adam performed at AI and he was done performing, what he would do was turn around and thank the band and whoever he can thank in the back who contributed to his performance. I believe that he was the ONLY contestant in AI that consistently thanked the band and others after his performances. Smearing Adam in the news with FALSE information is not a good thing to do.
Jun 7, 2009
this is nothing to do with Clay, it is a desperate hack reporter trying to get some attention. shame on msnbc for having anything to do with her. she's been in trouble many times before, once for calling Spike Lee “uppity”. charming woman.
Jun 7, 2009
Ditto
Jun 7, 2009
RitaNJ,
totally agree… I mean how can you be nice to them?! Unlike Adam who laughs it off I seriously would of puched TMZ reporters…. Yes I agree with everyone that says that the smears are all crap… I mean why are the slamming him about that NOW?! Even then I wouldn't believe it.
Jun 8, 2009
I totally agree. Look at Aiken and then look at Adam. Now, laugh!
