A Message from Kelly Clarkson  


Kelly Clarkson 's been pissing off a lot her people lately including music mogul Clive Davis but it seems her words have caught up with her. Read this message she posted on her website this past Monday.

“There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding the release of My December, much of which has focused on a supposed feud with my record label, in particular, Clive Davis. I want to set the record straight on this by saying that I want my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family. Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it’s respect and admiration that will keep us together. A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive. Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and taken out of context. Contrary to recent characterizations in the press, I’m well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key advisor and has been an important force in my success to date. He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so. I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice. I would never intentionally hurt anyone. I love music, and I love the people I am blessed to work with. I am happy that my team is behind me and I look forward to the future.”

Quote: Lily Allen on Lindsay Lohan  

Lily Allen doesn’t seem to have much sympathy for Lindsay Lohan’s weekend of partying-related troubles.

Writing on her blog, Lily wrote yesterday:

"We went to this club called Les Deux [in Los Angeles recently], and that was really fun untill Linsay Lohan arrived and had us thrown off our table , I know shes a huge star an all , and famous people deserve to sit down especially when they've been working so hard , but whatevs . Linday our thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time in your life ( she got arrested this weekend ) in the words of Timbaland and Timberlake ' what goes around ..............' "

Quote: Simon Cowell Defends Kelly Clarkson  


''Kelly is not a puppet; she does not like to be told what to do. She could have gone the easy route, which is, you go with ['Since U Been Gone' producer] Max Martin -- it's a guaranteed success. She made it absolutely clear that she wanted to steer the musical direction on this record. You just gotta say, 'You know what? This girl has given us millions and millions of sales.' You've got to give her that opportunity. If it works out, fantastic. If she then decides she wants to do a pop album, every good writer and producer wants to work with her. Because Kelly will be here for 30 years. She has one of the best pop voices in the world right now. What she sold in the U.K., Europe, Asia had nothing to do with American Idol. It had everything to do with the fact that she made a great record and she's got an incredible voice. She's not a girl who got lucky in a talent competition; we got lucky to find her.''

Quote: Adam Levine On Lily Allen  

"It's not attractive seeing someone spew shit out of their mouths. She's bigger in the UK but her words still have some effect. Her talking shit seems to be embraced. I've said some really negative things about people and I just think, 'Why?' Say whatever you want to if it makes you feel good, but at the end of the day attacking people doesn't make sense and it's hurtful. Lily's young, though, and I'm sure she'll learn eventually."

Quote: Adam Levine on Beautiful Men  

"Oh, there are beautiful men out there. Antonio Banderas is gorgeous. Well, maybe not so much anymore. He peaked around Desperado. I mean, every male secretly wants to have sex with Brad Pitt, but that's a given."

Quote: Joss Stone on Drinking and Smoking  

"I've been drinking beer since I was 13. I'm English! Sometimes I smoke, sometimes I drink. But I don't go on binges. I'm not a genuine bad girl. I don't want to ruin my voice. But when I'm home in England, I have a beer and a smoke. Sometimes I even smoke weed."
