Thanks to Catherine for pointing this out: the teacher who wrote in to Gawker about Clay Aiken being -- surprise! -- a showbiz phony, has been suspended by her school district.

Okay, she used profanity in the message she sent to Gawker. But the email was submitted anonymously and the facts of her account don't seem to be in dispute, so it's tough to see why the district bothered to track her down and exact their admittedly not-so-terrible vengeance (a one-week suspension, with pay). I guess Clay did threaten to "make trouble" if anyone went to the press, so maybe that sent them running scared.

A crooner prone to vague threats and acting like an asshole, huh? Is it too early to crown the new Sinatra?
