Women are so moved by Clay Aiken's presence that they hurl their panties onstage as if he were Elvis, which mystifies the 'American Idol' runner-up. "Ruben always jokes with me that I could have any woman out there," Aiken told Elle magazine. "He says, 'You need to hook up with somebody before you leave the tour.' But I try and explain that that's not what this is about for me. The reason women like me, I think, is because I don't threaten them.
