Instead of a summer camp for future American Idols, there should be a camp for fallen American Idols. Kelly Clarkson’s CD My December continues to plummet on the Billboard charts. Last week, the original Idol debuted at a disappointing number two and this week she slips to third with a 61% drop off in sales. Somewhere Clive Davis is laughing his old ass off. Despite pleas from the music industry Svengali to incorporate tracks on her new CD written by professional songsters, Clarkson wanted a CD advertising her writing skills. Skills that apparently suck out loud. Since Clarkson went against Davis, he has decided to pull all future plans to promote Clarkson’s new CD. Instead, Davis will turn J-Records/RCA’s focus to another Idol, Carrie Underwood. Her Some Hearts CD has already sold over six million copies with her follow-up release set to debut this fall. Clarkson recently cancelled plans to tour on the heels of RCA pulling the entire summer campaign of TV, print and Internet spots for My December. The only hint of Clarkson to be seen on television is her sad ads filmed to promote NASCAR events after she signed adeal to perform at this year's Nextel Cup Series Banquet and make a string of ads hocking the much maligned “sport”.
To make matters worse, her weight is taking on hefty proportions; insiders report that since the turmoil with Davis started Clarkson has packed on 40-pounds. It’s so sad to be a fat, washed up pop star. Poor Kelly! Maybe she can go be a NASCAR driver’s girlfriend; too bad her ass doesn’t fit the “template” anymore! -Linda Przygodski
