“American Idol”, like most hit TV shows that eventually crash and burn, is (thankfully) closing out its historic 15-season run on Fox tomorrow night. Let’s face it, the horse is dead. It’s been dead for quite some time now. So what will future generations, 2,000 years from now, make of this pop culture touchstone? ...
Kelly Clarkson, the American Idol winner, today damned Dr Luke, the music producer accused of sexually assaulting Kesha. She told an Australian radio program that Luke “blackmailed” her into working with him. She flatly said he was “not a good person.” Clarkson made the comments on Sydney, Australia’s KIIS FM radio program “The Kyle and Jackie O Show.”...
Kelly Clarkson put a new twist to the hot dating app Tinder on Jimmy Kimmel last night. She set some weird profiles to music and sang her heart out to bring them hilariously to life, including the guy with a foot fetish. Kimmel isn’t exactly up to speed on the trendy dating app, but did his best to explain how it often leads to hookups in “public bathrooms.”...
Demi Lovato’s new single “Cool For The Summer” appears to have hit a wall that was bound to happen sooner or later. Pop music has become so homogeneous one song now invariably sounds like another and another and another. Not cool. Lovato’s new song from her upcoming album was officially released today (July 1) and immediately drew comparisons with songs by Katy Perry, Jessie J and probably other artists as well....
Kelly Clarkson thinks award shows like the Grammys are a big pain and it’s not because she has to get all dressed up and go out. Other artists are the problem. They think “they’re too cool for school,” she says. ...
Beyonce is no “Milli Vanilli.” She sang the “National Anthem” a Capella to kick off her Super Bowl news conference today (Jan. 31) and didn’t miss a note. She also promised to sing live at the Super Bowl. She caused a national uproar and came under a firestorm of criticism. Both Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor, who preceded her, sang live....
Kelly Clarkson gave the performance of a lifetime at the Inaugural swearing in ceremonies and put the R&B queen, who sang after her to shame. Kelly took a big risk and sang live, but Beyonce lip-synched her performance. Clarkson, obviously caught up in the moment, soared as she sang “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” Despite chilly weather and a case of nerves, she was pitch perfect.

American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson lost an amazing 30 pounds in six months by eating smaller portions and doing lots of cardio exercise.

Kelly Clarkson, winner of American Idol’s first season, sang the Star Spangled Banner to open Super Bowl XXXXVI tonight (Feb. 5). She hit every note and sang every word and finally gave the song its proper due. Clarkson must have felt some pressure given last year’s performance by Christina Aguilera, who muffed the lyrics....
Country queen Taylor Swift has been known to cross over audiences with her music, but she should draw the line on rap. Despite LL Cool J’s best efforts, Swift squeaks her part in a new Grammy commercial. Still it looked like it was good fun, and Taylor, 22, seems to have no problem laughing at herself at the end of the 30-second spot. Cool J, 44, will be hosting the 2012 Awards show, and Swift will be one of the feature performers along with Katy Perry, Adele, Rihanna, Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Jason Aldean and Nicki Minaj ....
Kelly Clarkson's endorsement of Republican Ron Paul for president has put her at odds with many of her fans. Many have criticized her because Paul is perceived to be racist and homophobic....
