Kelly Clarkson lived a few blocks from me in LA before moving to NYC, and I was a little bummed about that. However, seeing how happy she looks in my old hometown makes me happy for her.
The singer was on Today this morning, and I couldn’t get over how radiant she looked. Not only that, she looks like she took off a few pounds because she has to walk and subway everywhere now.
Kelly Clarkson and Andy Cohen were talking shit on Watch What Happens Live, and their conversation literally turned to shit.
The host asked her if she ever peed during a concert. She hasn’t. But she did tell him there were two times she had to stop her show to poop.
One time was when she got food poisoning in Germany and turned the bathroom into that scene from Bridesmaids. The other time was when she pooped in a trash can during a costume change at Staples.
It wasn’t all bad. She said, “Not many people have been cheered on while shitting. And I have.”
The more you know!
And you know what she didn’t know. Any of the winners of American Idol in the last five years. Do you know what? She is not alone.
Back in 2008, Billy Joel played the last concert at Shea Stadium before they tore it down. Since it was such a monumental event, the singer invited some of his friends from low places to join him on the field. They were musicians like Garth Brooks and Steven Tyler.
The Country singer has an interesting story from that night, and he shared it with Kelly Clarkson on her daytime talk show.
Brooks told her that he showered with the Aerosmith singer. What? How have we not heard this before? Because it is not as exciting as it should’ve been.
Basically, he wanted to shower before the show, and all they had was the open showers you have in locker rooms. He thought he had it all to himself, but he didn’t. When he cleaned off her soap-covered eyes, he noticed that Tyler was in there with him like it was no big deal.
That is the difference between someone in a band and someone who is a solo act!
Remember when American Idol started in 2002, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson were the judges and Ryan Seacrest was the host? Well, it almost wasn’t that way.
Today, when Seacrest was on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the first American Idol asked him if it was true he was almost a judge on the singing competition.
“Originally, when the producers, Nigel [Lythgoe] and Ken [Warwick], were setting up the show, they heard me on the radio here in Los Angeles, and they thought I might fit the panel to be up there with whoever else was already on,” he told Clarkson. “Wait, a minute. I would love to audition to be the host. And I auditioned eventually to be the host. And I got the job.”
And 21 years later. He still has the job. And he might not still have it if he were a judge instead of a host.
Could you imagine him as a judge? I can’t. So I am happy it didn’t happen.
And can we talk about how Taylor Hicks looks exactly the same? But then again, he looked like an old man back then too.
Kelly Clarkson had Carol Burnett on her show today to celebrate her 90th, and the host wasn’t the only one asking questions. The audience wanted to learn more about the legendary comedian.
So a woman wanted to know if there is anything left that she wants to accomplish. Without hesitation, Burnett said, “George Clooney!”
Hopefully, he will say yes. Although that it might be the death of her. And what a way to go! I can just hear him telling everyone she let one last Tarzan scream, and then she died with a big smile on her face as though Tim Conway was telling her a story about an elephant.
