If there's any doubt celebrity can change a person's appearance, these photos of Clay Aiken from the beginning of the 2002 season of American Idol, and his recent return at the finale of this year's season, should be enough to freak anyone out. My wife found his new look to be a bit Reubenesque........ not the Flemish Painter but Paul Reubens as the Spleen in 1999's Mystery Men.
