Aiken Contributes to DDD Events
LOS ANGELES - Clay Aiken and others associated with the July 24 episode of Drop Dead Diva were joined by fans Sunday for a preview screening and panel discussion that proved a lively, informative addition to Outfest 2011.
In this age of technology, CA fans attending Outfest 2011 were quick to share recaps of the session with friends via computer.
Featured above is the video Scarlett made of the panel discussion. Among the other participants were Josh Berman, DDD creator and director; Jamie Babbit, co-executive producer; and Ben Feldman, the actor on Clay's left.
Initial reports on CA message boards were that DDD was "drop dead delicious." During the screening, Clay sat on the second row surrounded by some of his fans.
CA Fans Share DDD Impressions
Impressions from gareem were transmitted by yaknelle to members of the Clayversity message board. In no time flat, they had been copied to at least three fan sites.
Clay as given the cameo role because Berman personally called and asked him to be a part of the show. The panel was outstanding. The show was outstanding. All actors seemed to have really bonded.
Babbit, the co-executive producer, said, "Clay had one of the most fun parts. I was so happily impressed working with him. He is a natural actor. He is very talented and very good."
Below are three clickable screen caps from Scarlett's video.
As she was dashing out to attend today's taping of The Talk (Clay promos DDD at 2 pm ET on CBS), I asked Scarlett to sum up Sunday and her birthday excursion to the Los Angeles Outfest in a couple of sentences. Here is her comment:
I keep wishing everyone "Happy Birthday" by hoping it would be their "best ever." Some of it must have bounced back on me because I literally had my BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!
Well, it sort of helped that my birthday fell smack in the middle of monsoon in Southeast Asia, lol!
If you missed Sunday's DDD episode, stream it online at Lifetime. Set your DVR now for the 7/24 episode featuring Clay.
Thank you again for your birthday greetings to all of us 7/17 celebrants! Have a wonderful week, Clay Nation!

Hi, Caro! You always do a great job writing your blogs to help keep the Claynation informed of all that is going on in Clay Land. Scarlett did a wonderful job on her video, too.
I read your previous blog, and the video with Clay and Tori was too funny. Also, I just loved Kai's birthday text to you. So cute how he chose the letters.
Thanks for all you do! Enjoy your week!
Love and hugs, ♥♥

I am so glad you put the Outpost video on. I have to admit that I was a little bored at first, wondering why they put clay on the panel if they weren't going to let him talk. Well, finally he had his chance, and as usual, he made me laugh out loud. I loved it.
Hugs, Lois
Thanks Caro for this wonderful blog and thanks to Scarlett for providing us once again with some great video!
Clay and Tori were so darn cute together! Can just imagine the fun they had putting this together!
