Attention fans of Clay Aiken: You can stop e-mailing now.

We have gotten the message. You think that the "American Idol" star's hometown paper ought to be more friendly toward him.

We're not sure that the Under the Dome item you're complaining about was derogatory, since all it said was that Aiken was "hiding in a corner" at a Jenna Bush book-signing. (Especially since we've written worse things about him before.)

Furthermore, we're not sure how you would know if it was, since you clearly didn't read the item, which attributed that information to The New Yorker. For the record, Dome was not there, did not interview Aiken and did not write the original piece.

Anyway, you can stop sending your thinly disguised form letters to us.

Thanks for (sort-of) reading!

Clay Aiken was spotted at a Jenna Bush book signing.

According to a piece in The New Yorker, the former "American Idol" singer and current UNICEF ambassador "was hiding in a corner" at a launch party for Bush's book, "Ana's Story."

He was impressed with the book, which tells the story of a H.I.V.-infected teen in Latin America.

"I read it on the plane to Afghanistan," he said of the book. "I was quite impressed. I remember thinking she must have had a ghostwriter, but she didn't. She did it herself."

Aiken had a co-writer on his 2005 book, "Learning to Sing."
