Kelly Clarkson Slams Clive Davis For "Spreading False Info" About Her In New Memoir

Feb 20, 2013 06:00 AM

We were stunned to learn that Clive Davis came out as bisexual in his new memoir The Soundtrack of My Life, but apparently Kelly Clarkson is more shocked over his claims that she threw a hissy fit over production on her debut album!

Kelly wrote on her WhoSay blog, “So I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music. I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don’t have to cower to anyone – even Clive Davis.”

The singer added, “First, he says I burst into “hysterical sobbing” in his office when he demanded ‘Since You Been Gone’ be on my album. Not true at all. His stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the original demo and Clive did not. Max, Luke and I still fought for the bigger sound and we prevailed and I couldn’t be more proud of the life of that song. I resent him dampening that song in any way."

UPDATE:
Davis countered Kelly's claims with the following statement on Twitter:

    "As anyone who has read The Soundtrack of My Life knows, I think Kelly Clarkson is a tremendous vocal talent and performer. In the book, I provide an in-depth look at our years together during which we shared major multi-platinum success, as well as a few creative differences. I am truly very sorry that she has decided to take issue with what I know to be an accurate depiction of our time together.

    Before the book was published, I had every fact checked with five independent individuals who were present on a daily basis throughout it all," he wrote in his response to the American Idol singer's claims. "The chapter as it is written was thoroughly verified by each and every one of them. I stand by the chapter as written in my book. At the same time I wish, and will always wish, Kelly's talent and her career to soar to ever new heights."

Kelly Clarkson Opens Up About Lesbian Rumors

Jan 4, 2013 10:50 AM

kellyclarkson230pic.jpgKelly Clarkson is opening up about those gay rumors in Cosmopolitan's February issue.

The first American Idol winner said the following to the mag:

    “People think, “Oh, she’s been single for too long.” That’s kind of an insult to the gay community. Being single doesn’t mean you’re gay. But I’m never insulted by it, obviously. I mean, I get hit on by the hottest girls ever. Oh, my god, if I were a lesbian, I would be so in luck. But it’s just not my thing. I’ve always batted for the boys’ team.”

The 30-year-old songstress recently got engaged to Brandon Blackstock. As for her engagement, Kelly added, "Brandon’s totally the one. I’ve never been so happy."

You go, girl!

Kelly Clarkson has a boo-boo!

The original American Idol winner injured her foot so bad, she was forced to use a wheelchair on Tuesday, sharing a Twitpic with the caption: "Sprained my foot and have a hairline fracture but the show must go on people ha!"

Thankfully, the singer appeared to be in good spirits as she hobbled along on her crutches while stopping to pick out baubles at jewelry store Alisa Michelle in LA, on Friday afternoon.

Clarkson is currently serving as a judge and mentor on the singing competition show Duets, but the injury didn't stop her from appearing on the show, sitting for hair and make-up in a wheelchair while holding crutches.

The 30-year-old Grammy winner hasn't revealed what caused the injuries, but she's clearly not letting it get her down!

Kelly Clarkson Shows Off Her Slimdown At Sur

May 23, 2012 03:45 PM

sunglasses Kelly Clarkson sur shorts tattoo It looks like someone has been hitting the gym!

We spotted Kelly Clarkson grabbing lunch with a female friend at Sur in West Hollywood yesterday, and we almost didn't recognize the "Stronger" singer... she's lost so much weight!

Maybe it's because the American Idol alum is happy in love with her boyfriend? The 30-year-old brunette beauty has been dating Nashville-based talent manager Brandon Blackstock, who happens to be the stepson of country star Reba McEntire, since last year. Romance is better than Ben & Jerrys any day!

Although, apparently being in a happy relationship is bad for song writing.

"It's ruining my creativity. I'm writing all this happy [stuff]... People are going to be, like, 'What the hell happened to you.' It has been really difficult. I love it. It's an awesome problem to have," she tells People magazine.

Whether she sings depressing or upbeat songs, Miss Clarkson has a voice that will stand the test of time!
