According to a post on perezhilton.com (and perez LOVES glambert), MSNBC says: "He is such a diva. Rude to everyone - from fans right down to the lighting folks," says a source who interacted with him on his recent publicity tour. Apparently, this was all started by CLAYMATES!!! They were spreading rumors saying precious ADAM was a DIVA!

After that post, perez posted another one, stating:

"You best watch out for those Claymates. They can be caddy, sneaky b**ches! And they have the power to influence major news stories!

Apparently, a group of Clay Aiken fans were still angry over the whole Clay vs Adam Lambert showdown, probably because everyone sided with Adam.

So they started a vicious rumor about the recent American Idol runner-up and it spread like wildfire all around the Internet. They reportedly told MSNBC that Adam was a grade-A, crazy diva, confessing he was "rude" to everyone he met on his publicity tour.

Haters are going to hate, but Clay Aiken fans are gonna mess with your reputation.

Watch out, Adam! They might try and strike again!"

Comments! (SCREW THEM CLAYMATES!!)

oh god, i can't believe people actually did something that ridiculous and pathetic! how embarrassing for them…plus they've just made Clay Aiken's image that much more negative.
