Happy Birthday, Clay Aiken!
Before Adam Lambert, there was Clay Aiken.
Both artists rose to fame on American Idol; both finished second to artists that are unlikely to have more successful careers than these runner-ups; and both are gay.
The latter item is utterly irrelevant, but it does give Lambert and Aiken even more in common. That, however, is where the comparisons ends.
While the former superstar flaunts his sexuality and is known for flamboyant, controversial performances, the latter has quietly carved out a productive career for himself on Broadway and on the sales charts.
Aiken turns 31 today. Send in your birthday wishes and honor him by clicking on the Clay photos below...
Mindy McCready and Elisha Cuthbert also turn 34 and 27, respectively, today.

Clay, a belated happy birthday! I celebrated by donating to your foundation, the National Inclusion Project. Even more than your musical & Broadway successes, you must be so proud of the work your foundation is accomplishing in giving opportunities to children with special needs to play and learn with their typical peers! Always a fan of your music, your comedy talent, your courage, and your humanitarianism. Bring on that new album in 2010 - and, please, a tour!
