HAND OVER WORD OF MOUTH

Although the Kelly Ripa/Clay Aiken/Rosie O'Donnell dust-up made for good Television, it's not great Toobworld - unless it gets referenced in a fictional sense on some sitcom or drama.

Unless it's already been taped, there may be a chance for that when Clay Aiken appears as himself in a Christmas episode of 'Days Of Our Lives'. Clay will be in Salem, where he'll give a private concert for two of the show's characters, Kayla and Steve.

Clay will sing "Everything I Have", a song from his new album which was released last month. His version of "O Holy Night" will also be featured in the 'Days' episode, which airs December 22nd.

If they hadn't taped it before the ruckus about his appearance on 'Live With Regis And Kelly', maybe they can work in a joking reference to it......
