But soon runner-up Clay Aiken's single started outpacing Studdard's on the charts, and now the portly pop star is getting into it with 205 Flava, makers of his signature shirts. Studdard sued the company for using his image to sell clothes, but 205 (it's the area code for Birmingham, Ala., Studdard's hometown) promptly dialed it up a notch, claiming that it paid Studdard to wear its clothes...
