Kelly Clarkson Archives

On Thursday, it’s a collision of stars at Los Angeles International Airport.

Super smiley Kelly Clarkson looks relaxed and cheerful as she prepares for departure while a tired-looking John Mayer offers a tight-lipped almost smile as he makes his way to the parking lot.

Meanwhile, the cast of Superbad, including Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin), runs amok in the airport, playing paparazzi. (Could Cera’s old school white camera and rolls of film be related to his recent trip to Samy’s Camera?) But, it looks like even they can’t make security checks fun.

Kelly Clarkson arrives at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards.

Avril Lavigne, Fergie and Kelly Clarkson are all scheduled to perform this year.

Kelly Clarkson shows off her back-to-blonde bob as she drops by Canada’s MTV Live to promote her latest album, “My December” on Monday afternoon.

Looking classic is black, Kelly ragged on American Idol a bit, favoring Canada’s version over the American one.

“Yours is so cool,” she said. “Your Idol is so much better! They don’t let you near instruments on American Idol.”

Kelly, 25, is scheduled to perform a couple of live tracks Tuesday night on Canadian Idol.

Britney Spears has done one of the most sane things she’s done in awhile — hire legitimate management!

Britney has hired Jeff Kwatinez of The Firm to help her make her comeback into the music industry. Her former manager, Larry Rudolph, was the one that “forced” Britney into rehab.

Idol champ Kelly Clarkson gave Kwatinetz the boot earlier this year and hired Reba McEntire’s manager/husband Narvel Blackstock.

Pictures below include Britney grabbing dinner at West Hollywood eatery Cravings Italian restaurant with sons Sean Preston, 22 months, and Jayden James, 10 months (Britney is carrying baby Jayden).

Kelly Clarkson is doing a bit of damage control via her official website:

“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.”
