Clay Aiken Stinks up Plane

We used to think that fame + money meant that anything annoyingly human about your body could be taken care of. Crow's feet are smoothed out, cellulite is sucked out, unflatteringly dark anuses are bleached. Certainly stinky feet should be easily fixed with the removal of pedal sweat glands or at least some Manolo Blahnik-designed Odor Eaters. But Britney once taught us that this is not the case with your, how shall we say, more country celebs, and Clay Aiken is now giving us a remedial class in "money doesn't make you classy." Celebitchy reports:

On a recently flight from LA to Clay Aikenís hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina, the American Idol runner up didnít get drunk and rowdy, but he did act weird and smelly.

Aiken was said to have taken off his socks and shoes and to have put them on his assistantís lap. His feet stunk up the whole first class cabin.

"Clay, who was accompanied by a terrified-looking female assistant, draped his feet over her lap and removed his shoes and socks – allowing a foul smell to invade the small cabin! Even stranger, after fidgeting through most of the flight, he ended up sitting on the floor in front of his expensive seat! Exclaimed one passenger, 'Heís an odd one!'î

The way we see it, Clay's fellow first-class passengers got off easy. If Clay had really wanted to get comfortable, he could have went beyond the socks and shoes and removed his entire ensemble, and if his feet are so odoriferously offensive, we're guessing that kid has some major ball stench.
