Kelly says “No.” Simon gets haughty!

Kelly Clarkson wants people to give a damn about her. Seems reasonable, considering she’s the only entertaining winner of “American Idol” thusfar. The news is that Clarkson has strict control over her tunes, and therefore new “Idol” contestants can’t sing them. Hey, if I had a good thing goin’ and already started distancing myself from that nightmare, I’d do the same thing. Of course, Simon Cowell isn’t happy about it, saying “I don’t like this, when they walk away from the show and kind of forget.” Well after From Justin to Kelly, who wouldn’t want to more than “kind of forget”? Speaking of which, I really need to score a cheap copy of that movie for future self-punishment.

Ricky likes to pee-pee

There are always great ways to make the public remember you when your star has faded. Seem that Ricky Martin is angered by the public backlash over a recent interview. In that Q&A, Martin said he enjoys “giving the golden shower,” especially in the shower. Personally, I can’t fathom why people would complain about this discovery when all his fans let him shit all over them with his lousy music. Hell, they even paid for him to do that, time and again. Let’s stop being fickle, public!

I understand the McDonald’s in Bahrain is hiring…

Since he apparently can’t get work in the States (though he can, at least, get arrested, ho, ho), Michael Jackson is reportedly looking to score a gig as a consultant with a Bahrain-based company that plans to set up theme parks and music academies in the Middle East.

(The article can be found here.)

Oh, yeah, and he claims that the single he’s been recording for the Katrina victims for, like, MONTHS – which is entitled “I Have This Dream” and features guest appearances from Keisha Cole, Ciara, Snoop Dogg, Babyface and R. Kelly – is gonna be released on a Bahranian label…eventually.

Maybe MJ should take a cue from the folks over at the War Child organization, who can get charity albums recorded and released in in a week’s time.

The Chauffeur falls asleep at wheel, misses new Scott Stapp information

RollingStone.com posted an interview with Stapp here. By the end of it, you just about feel sorry for the guy and wish him well. (Fortunately, there’s a lot of funny stuff in the middle.) Actually, Stapp comes off far better than his former Creed bandmate, Mark Tremonti, who says stupid things like, “When people from (the Creed days) get together, it’s like a convention of people who went through Nam.” Who would’ve conceived of the possibility that Stapp might actually not have been the dumbest guy in that band…?
