Multiplatinum-selling recording artist Kelly Clarkson — winner of the first season of American Idol — hit her blog in a fury on Thursday, after the head of Taylor Swift’s record label made a biting reference to the TV talent show that catapulted her to stardom in his attempt to defend the country star’s widely-panned Grammys duet with Stevie Nicks.
Kelly Clarkson’s Tuesday night concert in Boston, Massachusetts was marred by tragedy after a fan suffered a fatal heart attack, The Detroit Free Press reports.
A 38-year-old man collapsed while the pop star was onstage at Boston University’s Agganis Arena. He was unconscious and in cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived on the scene at approximately 10PM to transport him by ambulance to a nearby hospital. He was later pronounced dead, Boston University spokesman Colin Riley said.
“It’s terribly tragic, unfortunate,” he said. “But the EMTs did everything they can and I’m sure they’re very saddened that they weren’t able to revive the individual.”
Rocker wildchild Kelly Osbourne ruled the dance floor with a powerful Viennese Waltz on Tuesday night’s premiere of Dancing With The Stars 9, immediately sailing into the good graces of sharp-tongued judges, Carrie-Ann, Len, and Bruno. But, in a new interview with Closer Magazine, Kelly, says its anything but smooth sailing with much of the rest of the cast.
“When I first started the rehearsals, I thought the other contestants were all lovely, but it’s suddenly become much more competitive and there’s a bit of bullying going on behind the scenes,” Kelly says.
“There’s a rumor floating around that one of the celeb dancers has been having secret lessons for two years! That is so not fair.”
Taylor Swift’s not the only teen star Kelly Clarkson’s a fan of.
In a video posted on YouTube on Friday, the nation’s first “American Idol” covered Miley Cyrus’ hit single “The Climb,” with the help of two of her backup singers.
The song came one day after both Kelly and Miley took the stage at the VH1: Divas Concert in Brooklyn, NY.
Kelly Clarkson performed her smash singles “My Life Would Suck Without You” and “Already Gone” on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday.
