Kelly Clarkson is finally opening up about her battles with her record label and the venerable Clive Davis. Apparently, she thinks that she knows more about music than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Producer.

She probably intends to vindicate herself by sharing this story, but it only servers to cast her as arrogant and foolish. (No wonder she thinks she’d make a bad mother.)

According to the New York Post:

Clarkson insisted on recording her own songs on her third album, while Davis – mindful of needing hits – wanted her to sing tunes written by others. But in the August issue of Blender, Clarkson says she told Davis: "I don’t know you very well, and I am not a bull-[bleep]er. I get [that] you don’t like the album. You’re 80; you’re not supposed to like my album."

Kelly, your album is tanking and you had to cancel your tour because nobody was interested. Despite your belief in your own business smarts, you obviously need better handlers, or this wouldn’t have come out in your interview with Blender.

Embarrassing.
