Clay Gets A Haircut!!
Ed Slott and Clay Aiken met at the PBS TV station in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Slott had his picture taken with Clay and put it on his FaceBook page and even Tweeted it. It was a real treat for Clay fans to see the picture as it showed Clay with his new hair style. Some fans mourned the loss of the long hair, while others cheered for the shorter look. All thought Clay looked handsome and at ease with Mr. Slott who probably had no idea his picture would be all over the Internet.
