Kelly Clarkson had some words for Kanye West after last night's fiasco at the VMAs and naturally she took it to her blog to express herself, saying:
Dear Kanye,
What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??
I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.
On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!
Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!
KC
Girlfriend makes a valid point, just look at the numbers!
Kanye, people are PISSED at you and we're not sure if your "apology" is going to cut it!
The past 12 months have treated many artists in the music industry extreeeemely well, while others haven't had quite the same luck with their new releases.
So who came out on top???
The biggest albums of the year sales-wise appear to be Taylor Swift's Fearless (3.7 million copies sold), Michael Jackson's #1's (3 million!!), Beyonce's I Am… Sasha Fierce (2.4 million) and rounding out the bunch is the ever-popular Twilight soundtrack, which sold a massive 2.2 million copies.
Honorable mentions?
Check out the list:
Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana Soundtrack) 1.5 million copies
Miley Cyrus BREAKOUT 1.5 million copies Lady GaGa 1.4 million copies Pink 1.3 million copies Eminem 1.4 million copies Britney Spears 1.6 million copies Rascal Flatts 1 million copies David Cook 1.2 million copies Jason Mraz 1.3 million copies NeYo 1.1 million copies Katy Perry 1.1 million copies Kanye West 1.6 million copies U2 1 Million copies Dave Matthews Band 900,000 copies Maxwell 750,000 copies
This year has seen its fair share of bombs as well!
Not everyone can do well!
The Jonas Brothers fever must be cooling, because the boys only managed to sell 520,000 copies of their new album!
Disney darling Demi Lovato also bombed big time, pushing only 240,000 copies of Here We Go Again.
Other losers include Jordin Sparks (105,000 copies), Green Day (750,000 units) and Miz Kelly Clarkson, who sold 675,000 copies of her new album.
Perezicious reader Jodie sent us this awesome vid of Eric Hutchinson performing at the Minnesota State Fair this weekend!
E-Hutch was all set to open for Kelly Clarkson at the fair, but Clarkson cancelled only two hours before showtime!!!
Hutchinson took it upon himself to perform a full length show for the crowd, even inviting the kids in the cheap seats to join the rest of the fair-goers at the front of the stage!
Aww.
Check the vid above to hear the song E-Hutch improvised for the audience!
Check out these pretty pretty promo posters, created by artist Maximillian Wiedemann, for VH1 Divas, airing next month, which the network just released!
Aren't the Divettes (baby divas) simply gorge?!
And extremely Photoshopped!
P.S. Jordin Sparks' poster isn't ready yet, but stay tuned!
Paula Abdul announced on her Twitter that she will be hosting VH1's Divas Live come this September.
Says the former Idol judge: "Hi guys! im really excited 2 announce ill b hosting this year's "Vh1 Divas"!The show will be live on Sept 17th @ 9 pm EST"
Kelly Clarkson was on SIRIUS XM Hits 1's Morning Mash Up yesterday and when asked about the abrupt departure of American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, Kelly said she didn't buy it.
Watch as Kelly insists that the producers are only pulling this stunt for "drama" and suggest that Paula will return to the Idol table (above).
Kelly Clarkson opens up about weighty issues in her dramatically retouched September issue of Self magazine.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On the haters:
"When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't. I'm fine!' My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more."
On her exercise motivation:
"I do it totally for my psyche. I'm much better when those endorphins are going. It's a release. And I also love food, so there's a payoff!"
On her Crossfit workouts:
"It's like bootcamp! You never work out more than 35 minutes, but it's so intense … It makes me feel like G.I. Jane. It's very empowering. I feel like I can whup ass!"
On her diet:
"I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount. Whatever I'm craving, I go for it."
On her secret weight loss:
"For me, it's the times when I'm not paying attention that I end up losing weight. But I'm never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I'm just being!"
We love a girl with a healthy body image, just make sure you send Mimoo's retoucher home!
