Clay wrote in his blog Tuesday evening about the intruder posing as him in the Official Fan Club Chat room this past weekend. 
He said that the intruder is not a member of the fan club. The hacker got in via a software glitch of the chat technology -- the website itself was not hacked.  He said the glitch 
has been repaired.

He apologized again and said they would do their best to not let it happen again. He also assures his fans  that he would never say anything so rude or
unpleasant to anyone "intentionally". If people see anything like that in the chat room in the  future, that 
they should know that
it is not him and to leave
immediately.

UNICEF, Yahoo, Hollywood Team 
Up To Help Children
"UNICEF Ambassador celebrities include Clay Aiken, Alyssa Milano, Danny Glover, Lucy Liu, Laurence Fishburne, Tea Leoni, Marcus Samuelsson, India Arie, and Elton Brand. Incidentally, today is Clay Aiken’s day (Ruben, we hardly knew ya..) and his page features some excellent video on his visit to Uganda in 2005 and over 5,500 answers to the question he poses, “UNICEF is working for the survival of children worldwide. What can we do to get more Americans involved?” Ponder that. 

Clay will be on Good Morning America [this morning]  promoting the campaign and speaking about his time 
as an UNICEF ambassador."



"Whatever" writes:
"You know, I think one thing that his overseas jaunts have done for HIM is put the occurrences of this last year in perspective. I'm so sorry that all of that crap went down and continues. And I would never underestimate the seriousness of what has been said about him. I would have no IDEA how to withstand that. But I think part of his strength in the face of that is his thinking back to those children. Stooping down in that room of sleeping children. The death of some, being orphaned, being hungry, being weak and ill, having to come in even to sleep safely, fer cryin' out loud. 

Maybe Clay imagines himself sitting down with those very same children and saying, "Listen, there are people at home who make up horrible things about me, make jokes about me and stomp on my
