Clay Aiken Insists No Beef With Ruben Studdard

‘American Idol’ runner up Clay Aiken is on the cover of the latest Entertainment Weekly as part of their Guilty Pleasures feature. Aiken would like to put the Clay versus Ruben Studdard (who won the Fox hit show) showdown to rest. ”The whole country wants Ruben and me to be at each other’s throats,” he said. ”We spent nine months competing with each other. And we both got what we wanted. He’s got a title, and I’m nothing but proud of him. We don’t look at who’s No. 1 and No. 2. Because it’s not worth it to us.” Check out the story here.
