Today is Sunday and it will only be a few hours until we see Clay Aiken on TV.  It seems that Celebrity Apprentice has made Sunday the best day of the week.  As we count down the minutes, there are a few things that happened that are fun to think about.

Clay had a chance to meet up with his friend, Tyra Banks.  She was in Raleigh in her role as Keynote Speaker of  Women’s Empowerment 2012.  

According to the PNC Arena/ Radio One site:

Women’s Empowerment is a high energy, high profile event that targets African-American women of all ages and is attended by as many as 18,000 Radio One listeners…

…The event will feature a noteworthy motivational speech by a nationally recognized speaker. This year’s keynote speaker will be model, actress, media personality and author Tyra Banks. Banks is highly-recognized for her successful television shows “America’s Next Top Model” and “The Tyra Banks Show” and has been acknowledged as one of the most successful models of her generation.

Created in March 1994, in honor of Women’s History Month, Women’s Empowerment was designed to enhance the lives of African-American women by addressing issues that specifically impact their health, relationship and overall lifestyle.  Women’s Empowerment began in 1994 as a way to celebrate Women’s History Month, and although the event aims to empower women, it is not uncommon for men to attend.

Well, Clay Aiken was there to support his friend, Tyra and tweeted the following picture during a break.

The magazine, Maxim has a feature called 24 Hours To Live.  In their April, 2012 edition, they ask Adam Carolla some questions.  There are two questions that relate to Celebrity Apprentice:

Guy’s Guy and the Celebrity Apprentice contestant Adam Carolla has a podcast, a memoir, a brand-new app…and one last day…..

Which celebrity apprentice cast member would you most hate to be stuck with for all eternity?

Clay Aiken. He’s such a nice guy and one hell of a singer. If we were together for eternity, eventually I’d go gay for him.

What would your last words be to Donald Trump?

The people from the Make-A-Wish Foundation assured me that it would be OK to have sex with your daughter.

I received an e-mail about the up-coming Clay Aiken Fan Fest.  It seem that this annual event is growing each year.  It is a great event that raises much needed funds for The National Inclusion Project while Clay Aiken fans have a wonderful time.

This year, the event will take place on May 19-20, 2012, at the Yorktowne Hotel in York, PA.  The theme for the week-end is And The Beat Goes On…Jukebox Revisited.  There is a special “Viewing Party” on Sunday, the 20th so that the fans can watch Clay on Celebrity Apprentice together.  

Be sure and visit FANFEST  to find out about all the up-dates,  including information about the Fan Raffle, a special Raffle for VIP Gala tickets and the Viewing Party.  Cookie needs to know if you are planning on attending the event as she needs to confirm the plans with the venue in April.

The following is a picture of a beautiful Holiday Wreath made by Faye Parker that will be available for bids at the Fan Raffle.

 This event sounds like so much fun.  Why do I live on the other side of the country?  I wish I could be there to participate in all the fun and support The National Inclusion Project too!
