People: Claymates Bring the Hate

DARE WE CALL IT CLAY-MYDIA? We hear there's a rumblin' and a grumblin' in Claynation. Factions of Clay Aiken fans — called Claymates — are ferociously feuding on the messageboards of their beloved star's Web site. The source of the scuffle? Debate over Aiken's sexuality.
