Clay Aiken Blasts Raunchy Celeb Peers At AMAs

The New York Daily News reports ‘American Idol’ season two runner-up Clay Aiken says that he probably shouldn’t have taken his mother to the American Music Awards in 2003. “The show was crass,” he said. “Dave Grohl made vulgar jokes. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie said the F-word. Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson alluded to their sex life any chance they could. My mother… was not enjoying what she would later call a ‘smutty little program.’ … If I could have left, grabbed my mom, and hightailed it to a Cracker Barrel, I probably would have.”
