Producer and songwriter Ryan Tedder is a bit taken aback over Kelly Clarkson’s assertion that he ripped off his own work on Beyonce’s 2008 hit “Halo” for her new single “Already Gone.” Read the rest of this entry »

Kelly Clarkson is once again at odds with RCA Records. This time the dispute is over her new power ballad — which sounds bizarrely like Beyonce’s 2008 hit, “Halo.”

The dispute began after the American Idol Season One champ realized that “Already Gone,” a tune she co-wrote with hit songwriter Ryan Tedder, was a deadringer for another Tedder-penned tune, “Halo.”

Tedder recently confessed that he gave both platinum-selling singers a tune with the same backing track. However, by the time Kelly heard “Halo” and realized the similarities between the tracks, it was too late to make changes to her current album, All I Ever Wanted, which debut last spring.

Kelly Clarkson performed “Already Gone” live at the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday, July 13.

The celebrity sect isn’t in a forgiving sort of mood when it comes to razor-tongued meanie Perez Hilton. In fact, some celebrities, like Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson, find the celebrity gossip blogger’s weekend beatdown in Toronto downright funny.

In case you live under a boulder, the web’s No.1 shit starter has fingered Black Eyed Peas manager Polo Molina in the assault that left him with a black eye and a bloody nose.

In an interview with the website The Gossip Kid on Monday, singer Kelly Clarkson said that while she does not condone violence, Perez had it coming. Kelly noted that since blogger is not even nice to young celebrities, like Disney’s Miley Cyrus, or the children of celebs, no one is going to shed any tears for him.

“You’re mean to children! No one’s going to pity you,” Kelly joked.

“I do not think violence is the answer, but what do you expect? I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already,” the original American Idol laughed. “I’m thinking how much did will.i.am pay his manager to do that?”

Kelly Clarkson isn’t above a teen crush.

During an appearance on Australia’s 2 Day “Kyle and Jackie O Show,” the world’s first American Idol — an admitted Twilight fanatic — confirmed she’s got a itsy-bitsy bit of a thing for on-screen bloodsucker Robert Pattinson.

“Yes, he’s an attractive guy,” Kelly told the hosts. “But I think girls are more so into that whole Dracula bit. It’s very sexy… I don’t know him. I’ve never really seen him in interviews either… [But] yeah, he’s cute.”

Kelly Clarkson thinks its “hot” when other women flirt with her.

The “I Do Not Hook Up” singer who over the years has repeatedly denied speculation she is a lesbian, doesn’t mind if attractive women shower her with attention when she is out partying.

“The rumors are not helping me on the dating front! I prefer the boys. I’m extremely flattered when I do get hit on by girls and I think it’s hot but I’m not into it. I like boys,” the nation’s first American Idol explained in an interview on 2Day FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show Wednesday.
