Aiken is part of Celebrity Apprentice's largest cast to date.

With the new Celebrity Apprentice cast, we now have a question that asks, did Clay Aiken get plastic surgery?

Contact Music UK notes in a report that "recent rumors had suggested Clay had undergone plastic surgery."

In a reaction to the image shown of Clay for the show, one commenter muses that "he looks a little different than the last time we saw him. We can't tell whether it's the much-rumored plastic surgery, the nearly transparent facial hair, or just a case of Photoshop run amok."

While none of that is clear, Aiken is part of Celebrity Apprentice's largest cast to date, which includes Arsenio Hall, Tia Carrere, Debbie Gibson, Adam Carolla and Star Trek's George Takei.

About being on the reality TV show, the former American idol runner-up Aiken told Today.com:

"Being in front of Trump is more intimidating than (being in front of Cowell). That’s because you realize his success is real outside of TV. Whereas with Cowell, I don’t deny him his value – but singing is not his expertise.

“I expected meanness from Simon, because I felt Simon’s job was to be rough and brutal, and therefore it didn’t matter as much what he said to me."
