I just did a search on Kelly Clarkson because I wanted to see if there was any news on her "feud" with Clive Davis ... looks like the feud is still on. She's had to cancel her summer tour - due to lack of ticket sales, which I'm sure is a by-product of her lack of cooperation with Clive Davis. The label has a big role in promoting ticket sales for their artists. Here are a couple of articles:

American Idol Kelly Clarkson Snubbed Davis' Offer To Scrap Songs

I am glad she is sticking to her guns. I find Clive Davis to be a despicable human being who is partly responsible for the disaster named Whitney Houston. He treated Whitney like a "product" (he even calls her "the product" in an interview on her greatest hits DVD), and I think that too much of Whitney's self-worth was tied up in the image that Clive Davis manufactured. I know she's ultimately responsible for her own decisions in life, but I can't help but think that his strong influence starting at such a young age (15?) had something to do with her eventual implosion.

Frankly, I don't think Kelly will care if she ends up playing small venues for the rest of her career. I think she cares much more about her own integrity as an artist, and I applaud that!!
 
Kelly Clarkson has only ever kissed five boys - because she is scared of
catching herpes!

The 25-year-old singer insists she doesn’t like smooching because it’s too
“personal” and she is always worried about what she might catch from
potential suitors.

She said in an interview with Blender magazine: “I have major trust issues.
I don’t make out with people. That’s a waste of my kisses and my time. And
it’s so personal - it’s, like, my face. Plus I’m afraid of mouth herpes!”
Kelly previously dated US rocker Graham Colton, who she met when Graham’s
group, the Graham Colton Band, were the opening act on her ‘Behind These
Hazel Eyes Tour’, in 2005.

They split in February 2006 after dating for around seven months due to
conflicting work schedules.

Meanwhile, Kelly has confessed to eating a cannabis cookie.

The ‘American Idol’ winner admits she has experimented with marijuana but
doesn’t class it as a serious drug, because it is not a Class A substance.

Kelly said: “I have eaten a marijuana cookie. It was in Amsterdam. It is
legal there, and it is not legal in America. I don’t ever do anything
illegal at home. Since then I have been oregano-free!

“I have never smoked anything in my life. I’ve never tried any drugs. I
wouldn’t do anything that would cause holes in your brain or your nasal
cavity. Call me Texan, but I don’t think of marijuana like that.”
 
I can understand where she's coming from since I too am terrified of mouth herpes. The other day I was buying some grocerie and the girl that was serving me had mouth herpes... I ended up not taking anything that was not inside a box LOL
