Missed the cute blonde, I just saw Kim Locke--wouldn't have recognized her but she stood up while Clay was on stage and the powers that be stuck one of those annoying labels across her neck that said her name.
I'll have to pay closer attention when the kids watch the show--I taped it for them since they went to bed (as we did) during the presentation. I just caught a quick glimpse (knowing I had it on tape) of the smooch, then Kim Locke--must have been someone else he kissed before he made his way to the stage. . .I'll look closer.
I know that Clay did say on GMA that he didn't have a "special" someone and he's never been "in love"--maybe things have changed a bit. . .or, she's just a good friend (the blonde, I mean).
