Kelly Clarkson – First American Idol Winner

Kelly Clarkson has not always had it easy, both pre and post Idol. Growing up in Burleson, Texas, she comes from a family of divorce and hardship. Working several jobs, she tried to stay afloat and make ends meet. Ironically, the very gift that changed her life was never her intention. Kelly Clarkson didn’t even know she could sing until she was in junior high school when the choir teacher overheard her singing. She originally wanted to be a marine biologist.

In 2002, Kelly entered a contest after returning home from L.A. not too long before that. She’d gone out to work with a hit songwriter, responsible for Aretha Franklin’s “Natural Woman.” However, he fell ill and could no longer work with her. The very day she moved into a new apartment, it caught fire while she went to eat. Living in her car for three days, she returned to Texas where her friend Jessica had given her the American Idol contest papers. Having auditioned in Dallas, she was accepted to the next round in Hollywood.

When Kelly Clarkson first appeared on American Idol, she had no real sense of style but her voice was as big as many out there and her personality lit up faces nationally each week on TV. Singing songs by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Dionne Warwick, she never saw herself sitting in the bottom contestants while in the beginning, she was considered the underdog. On September 4th, 2002, Kelly Clarkson had become our American Idol. She released her winning song “A Moment Like This” and watched it soar up the charts, beating a record on the Billboard Hot 100 previously held by The Beatles for highest jump to No. 1.

In April of 2003, Kelly Clarkson released her debut record Thankful. The record saw moderate success as an Idol souvenir as well as an album to kick off an optimistic future in the recording industry. The album has sold over 2 million copies in the U.S. in part to her lead single “Miss Independent,” co-wrote by Christina Aguilera. The album combined pop elements with a more R&B style. What was about to happen no one saw coming nor took seriously until Kelly found herself as one of the top female vocalists in the world.

In November of 2004, Kelly released her sophomore effort Breakaway. The title, also a song that appeared in a movie, is appropriately titled for many reasons. Kelly had split with manager Simon Fuller in order to hire a company who would be there to help the budding superstar reach incredible heights. No hard feelings were left. The direction of the album had been changed dramatically to an edgy pop rock sound that allowed her thunderous voice to shine. She also had fought the label suites to include material penned by her as well. She had a lent her love for writing to the first record, however, more than half of the new record was penned by Clarkson herself, including hit singles “Behind These Hazel Eyes,” “Walk Away,” and “Because of You.” The latter being a song written at the age of 16 and was a song the record label, RCA, told her she couldn’t include on her first record. The album’s lead single “Since U Been Gone” rocked out radio and clubs nationwide and is to date her best selling single. Breakaway has sold 12 million copies worldwide and brought in her parent record label over $100 million in revenue.

With the success of the record come the perks. She embarked on several tours, three in 2005 alone. Two of the tours in the U.S. were sold out and her international world tour was a success as well. 2006 saw Kelly taking home two Grammy Awards and performing for her peers. She beat out some of music’s biggest names including Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow and Gwen Stefani. Capitalizing on her success, she ventured out on yet another tour beginning June 30th to preview songs she’d like to include on her follow up to Breakaway. She’d reported that she would be ditching the bubblegum pop and would be writing and recording with her backing band. The idea was embraced largely by the public as she included new songs in each tour she’d written with someone in the band. However, the album that was supposed to be the most anticipated of 2007 turned out to be another one of music’s infamous turmoil challenges: the label vs. the artist.

Kelly Clarkson paired up with legendary David Kahne, responsible for songs such as “Manic Monday” and “Walk Like An Egyptian,” to produce her third studio effort. Co-writing over 50 songs, her team narrowed it down to 26 songs to record and kept 14 for the standard track listing. The album that would be called My December, took on a more mature, raw and emotional approach. During the Breakaway era, she’d worked herself to death, missing family and friends and having a hard time finding good people to surround herself with. Needless to say, the stress took its toll, including a relationship that ended shortly before the release of her second record. Dating producer and ex-guitarist of Evanescence David Hodges, she found herself being cheated on with his former girlfriend. He’d produced “Because of You,” “Addicted,” and a track that didn’t make the cut titled “Bleed For Me.” After he married the former flame two months after Clarkson found out, she penned the song “Never Again” that would become the lead single for her next record 2 ½ years later.

Turning in the material to her RCA label, they were not pleased with the record, especially legendary record producer Clive Davis, responsible for Whitney Houston, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Hall and Oates and many more. Clarkson and her manager at the time were executive producers of the record and that didn’t sit well with Davis. He quickly dismissed the record as unsellable, he didn’t hear any hits and it wouldn’t sell more than 750,000 copies. Shelving the record for four months, he tried every trick in the book to get her to change her mind. He reportedly offered her $10 million to replace or change 5 songs to make them more radio friendly. However, after receiving rip off “Since U Been Gone” compositions and a song from Lindsay Lohan’s second record, she stuck to her ground and compromised to release My December as is and she would in turn create a more mainstream record the next time around.

A week before it’s June 26th release date, she fired management The Firm and hired Reba McEntire’s husband for Starstruck Entertainment. McEntire, Clarkson’s childhood hero, had already formed a budding relationship with the American Idol Grammy winner.

RCA had claimed that “Never Again” was too bitter and the public wouldn’t accept it as Alanis Morissette already had “You Oughta Know” in the 90’s. However, numbers proved them wrong. The song only peaked at No. 8 on the Hot 100 but has since went on to sell just 10,000 copies shy of being a platinum selling single. While the video reached No. 1 on VH1, the song was being pulled from radio while a second single was planned to arrive in July titled “Sober.” The label not wanting to promote the record at all did not push the single to radio and it failed to chart inside the 100, peaking at 124. The U.S. received no more singles. Fans were outraged that an artist of such calibre would be treated so disrespectfully. Although the record only has been certified platinum one time in the U.S., it proves that real music is not dead and that you don’t need a formula hit song to sell records, especially to your fans. Media was very positive and remained mainly on Clarkson’s side throughout the whole entanglement stating she’d “earned the right to call the shots.”

Connecting deeper with her fans, Clarkson has stated time and time again that she will not release a record just to sell millions. To her, it’s about the music. While many artists need several songs to sell a million copies of a record these days, Clarkson only needed one, proving her to be one of the best in the business today. Her writing ability has been questioned and also put down, stating behind closed doors that she’s “25 and a female vocalist.” Clarkson immediately hung up from the conference call in disgust. To date, she’s won three writer’s awards from ASCAP, two of them being for “Because of You,” in which one was awarded for her remake of her own song as a country duet with Reba McEntire.

Some may say Kelly Clarkson put her career up as collateral when she released My December while many who have actually heard the record defend her stand. Life is bigger than being No. 1 all the time and in order to be No. 1 on today’s music charts, formula songs must be crafted and Kelly has so far stayed true to never releasing the same project twice.

The first American Idol winner will be releasing a fourth record in March 2009, taking elements from her massive sophomore disc, including many of the same songwriters, and injecting it with a more aggressive pop rock. Though Kelly may have been lucky to find Idol when she did, American Idol got lucky to find Kelly’s voice and talent. Unfortunately for her, she will have to tread the murky waters of an industry plagued with corruption, dirty politics and a tendency to manufacture and pre-package their acts to rise above circumstance and release music that will create new fans as well as keep the core group that voted her to No. 1 more than six years ago.

Wear Positive Attitude| Wise Up: Smart Is The New Black Says Lisa Germinsky

Now that Obama is a couple months into his term and the Dubya jokes are quickly fading from memory -- let's just agree that the former president wasn't, how shall we say, cerebral -- I just can't pin our collective mess on the man. What were most of us doing while the country was being run into the ground? Searching for the next "American Idol"? Spelling like a fifth-grader? Waiting for the next pop tart’s wardrobe malfunction?

Let’s face it team, we haven’t exactly been at the top of our game. But the times they are-a-changin'.

Wooed by the refreshing sound of a president and his basic grasp of the English language, I listened to President Obama speak frankly to our mounting obstacles during a February press conference. And while the state of our nation unsettles me, I take comfort in our leader’s unwavering determination, vision and most of all, his intelligence.

Then it occurred to me: It’s cool to be smart. Has President Obama single-handedly inspired a nation to pull its head out of its ass? A little evidence that we’re yearning to think again:

1. Our "It Girl" is smart. We can’t get enough of Tina Fey. She might be easy on the eyes but that’s not what we first noticed her for. We love Fey because she made it fun to think about issues we’ve preferred to ignore. She cleverly and courageously used the world stage to say the things we were dying to hear.

2. The ultimate fashion authority says so. Vogue dedicated several pages of its January issue to Katie Couric, Campbell Brown and Rachel Maddow. And not in an investigative "Which-designers-are-in-your-closets-ladies?" kind of way. No, it’s all business. Vogue celebrates the women transforming broadcast news, pushing the boundaries and taking the lead on asking tough questions.

3. The frivolous are taking heed. Meet the Recessionista, formerly known as the Fashionista. They’ve abandoned Carrie Bradshaw’s financial credo -- "I like my money where I can see it: hanging in my closet" -- for more conservative cues from the likes of Suze Orman... who, I promise, will never tell you Manolo Blahniks are sound investment.

4. Demetri Martin. Haven’t heard of him yet? Pay attention. Curiously politics-free and furtively smart, his new show, Important Things, made its Comedy Central debut last month.. "New York" magazine sums it up best, “So if the last election signaled a free-floating desire among young people to embrace a shift toward the smart, the different, and the new, then Demetri Martin is the man arriving at the exact right moment.”

5. Even our class-clown is growing up. The ever-charming, celeb-punking Ashton Kutcher is putting his infectious energy and multi-tasking mind to good use. He recently announced his commitment to end human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children through his Presidential Pledge. Kutcher has since rallied hundreds of fellow celebrities to make pledges of their own, and continues to encourage all of us to be the change. He's even using his newfound social media presence to help sick kids.

Brains are back. Fiscal responsibility, the environment, the war in Iraq, human rights, poverty, healthcare -- it’s all got to stay top-of-mind. Take your pick, because there’s a mountain of work to do. We can no longer afford the luxury of ignorance or keep waiting around for someone else do to the job. Sure, we’re still going to dance with the stars and keep Britney steadied at the top of our Yahoo searches (we’re Americans after all), but first, we’re going to do our homework.

Why People Love Celebrity Pictures

Many people can’t seem to get enough of anything that has to do with celebrities’ news, gossips, scandals, fashion, and lifestyle, just to name a few. All these are captured by celebrity pictures, whether celebrities like it or not. TV and movie stars have no way of escaping the prying eyes of the paparazzi. Every move celebrities make even in their private moments is always caught on camera. Photos of stars in their most glamorous or most unflattering looks grace the pages of various celebrity magazines and websites.

Celebrity photos have been popular especially during the World War II, when GIs pin up on barrack walls pictures of female movie stars wearing either one-piece swimsuits or low-cut evening gowns. According to historians, the fascination of Americans with celebrity photos started with the illustration “Gibson Girl” that landed on the pages of a magazine in 1887. Prior to the Internet boom, people were content seeing images of celebrities on magazines and movie posters. But nowadays, it’s easy to access celebrity photos on the Internet. You can view and download photos of Hollywood stars in just a few minutes. Or you may download a Bollywood actress picture if you adore Indian actresses. All it takes is just a few clicks on celebrity websites that can provide hundreds of celebrity photos in various shapes and sizes.
People love to view celebrity photos, even to the point of being overly fascinated with the who’s who in Tinseltown. Surfing the Web for Hollywood actress pictures has been a national pastime for men and women alike. Some people make hobbies out of celebrity photos by using them as desktop wallpapers. In particular, teenagers usually like posting photo printouts of their favorite actors, actresses, and musicians on the walls of their rooms.

Why are people so interested with celebrity pictures? Pictures of celebrities have entertained people across the globe as much as their acting, singing, and dancing prowess. Viewing a photo of your favorite star gives you an enjoyable distraction, helping you get through a busy, routinary, and tiring day.

But compared to talents, pictures have a more visible and lasting effect. It’s because pictures immortalize celebrities. Even after the death of immensely popular stars, their memories remain alive. Also, photos instantly elicit various reactions. How many times have you wondered why a certain actress always wears horrible gowns on the red carpet, or why a young star has suddenly become skinny or overweight? A celebrity’s personal life, usually depicted on photos, bothers you even if you know too well that it’s none of your business.

Although they appear like demigods on the screen, celebrities are “humanized” on photos. To some extent, celebrity photos give fans a glimpse of how certain superstars make a lapse in fashion, speech, or manners. To satisfy people’s curiosity, photos also show the appearance of Hollywood stars when they’re away from the limelight. For example, some Hollywood actress pictures show that certain celebrities can still look hot and attractive even without makeup. Photos of pregnant celebrity moms as well as celebrity hunks babysitting their children are just as popular. Thus, celebrity photos prove that actors and actresses despite their fame and glamour are humans just like everybody else.

Elvis Wedding Las Vegas

Elvis and Priscilla were married May 1, 1967, nearly eight years after their courtship began. The wedding was private, and it was held at the Alladin Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Priscilla wore a beaded white gown and a veil. The veil was attached to her hair, which was styled in the popular "bee-hive" style. The veil was three feet long. Her hair was dyed black. On top of her hair sat a rhinestone crown. Elvis wore a black dinner suit that fit him quite well. Elvis had two best men, Marty Lacker and Joe Esposito. Priscilla's maid of honor was her sister Michelle. Elvis was thirty-two years old and Priscilla was twenty-one years old.

The ceremony was in the morning and lasted around eight. minutes. At the ceremony there was a small amount of guests. The ceremony was followed by a press conference. At the conclusion of the press conference, a breakfast reception was held. There were 100 guests in attendance for the reception. The cake was six-tiered. Their first dance as husband and wife was to the song "Love Me Tender."

After the wedding, the two left to honeymoon in Palm Springs, California to vacation for a few days. They stayed at 1350 Ladera Circle in a grand home. The location is now available for tours. You can even use it for your own honeymoon or wedding. Upon their arrival Elvis showed his romantic side by picking up Priscilla and carrying her over the threshold. While doing so, he sang "The Hawaiian Wedding Song."

The home that Elvis honeymooned at was leased by him for a year. Elvis' manager Tom Parker lived in the area and made the suggestion for Elvis to honeymoon here, because he thought it would be the perfect place for him to relax and enjoy the company of friends.

Famous Hollywood gossip columnist Rona Barrett lived nearby and became suspicious of a wedding when many family members arrived in Palm Springs on April 29, 1967. Rona made contact with the house maid and she was able to get confirmation that the two were set to be married May 1, 1967. She made an announcement on her nightly television show that the two were prepared to be married.

The two planned on having their wedding at the estate in Palm Springs. However, the media onslaught forced them to change their plans. The morning of the wedding, the two had to sneak out the back door of their estate and meet up with a limo on Rose Avenue. Upon arrival to Rose Avenue, there were limousines prepared to drive them and the wedding party to the airport.

Frank Sinatra loaned Elvis his private jet "Christina." By 4:00 a.m. the two had arrived and already obtained their marriage license. The actual wedding took place at 9:40 a.m. at the Alladin hotel in the owner's suite. On the same day, the couple left for their honeymoon, back in Palm Springs, California. Another point of interest is the fact that Lisa Marie, the first daughter of Elvis and Priscilla was born exactly nine months after the date of the honeymoon.

A Hollywood Expose On Deviated Septum Surgery

Why deviated septum surgery? And a better question who’s had the surgery. Before these questions can be answered effectively, a brief introduction into what a deviated septum is needs to be examined. The nasal septum is the area of the nose that separates the nasal passages. The septum is made up of both bone and cartilage.

A deviated septum is when that bone and cartilage of the nose is no longer straight. There are a few ways that a septum may deviate, one way is at birth. This type of deviation is called congenital.

Hollywood is full of actors and actresses that have gone under the knife to fix a deviated septum. There are many that have done it for the sake of looks and there are those that have needed them because of health reasons. What ever the reason the jury Is out on whether or not it has helped or hurt their career.

Some of the most notable actresses that have gone under the knife to get their noses worked on are most recently Jennifer Anniston , and Cameron Diaz. Again whether it was necessary or whether it affected their looks the jury is still out. Either way so far it doesn’t appear that their carreers have suffered as a result.
Remarkably there is one actress who’s career suffered as a result of a nose surgery was Jennifer Grey. Many will remember her from her most notable movies being Dirty Dancing, and Red Dawn. After her role in the film Dirty Dancing, Grey decided to have a nose job to remove the bump from her nose.
It is true that the bridge of her nose, had a bump on it, and it was well noticed, but that nose was who she was, and it was a part of her. It was so much a part of her that even some friends didn’t really recognize her wants she recovered from her surgery.
There are plenty enough pictures and “Access Hollywood” type interviews out there to see that the results of her surgery have almost literally changed her look to be another person all together
In an interview after her surgery she stated that the surgery on her nose was the “worst mistake she had ever made”. She stated that she didn’t look like the girl from dirty dancing, just someone who somewhat resembled that girl.
There are some more recent starlets that have received similar comments since going under the knife. A phrase has come out nick named the "Jennifer Grey" syndrome, which has been attached to celebrities such as Ashlee Simpson and Ashley Tisdale from "High School Musical"

If your considering a surgery for yourself, a visit to the doctors office will determine whether deviated septum surgery is necessary. The doctor will start out by using an endoscope, a thin lighted instrument, to view your nasal passages and the shape your septum. The surgery typically takes between 1 to 1 ½ hours, usually under local or general anesthesia. In most cases this is an outpatient surgery.

Five Marijuana Smoking Sports Stars Who Faced Scandal And Survived

The cliché of the marijuana smoker is that of a couch potato, a student or an aging hippy, but like most clichés this one has little substance to it. Marijuana seed growers and smokers have long known that fans of marijuana come from all walks of life – even including a surprising number of champion sports players.

Gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps has been dragged over the coals for his recent exposure as a marijuana smoker, but he joins a long line of top level sportsmen and women who have undergone a highly public encounter with the substance. Here are five sportsmen and women (including Phelps) who have been outed as smokers and lived to tell the tale…

Michael Phelps

The Scandal: Michael Phelps is the latest sports star to fall foul of a paparazzo’s snapping camera. Having won a record breaking 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, he faced widespread criticism when the News of the World released pictures of him smoking a marijuana bong. He wasn’t in training at the time the photo was taken, but his standing as an All American hero combined with his marijuana use has ignited fierce debate over what kind of punishment he should face, if any.

The Recovery: Too soon to say what the long term damage to his career and reputation will be. He has been banned from competition for three months, and Kelloggs have withdrawn their sponsorship (and have put themselves on a pot smoker’s boycott list – stay away from those corn flakes while high!) but it doesn’t look like he’ll be facing a serious long term ban. I don’t suppose he’ll be touching so much as a marijuana seed for a good long while!

Jennifer Capriati

The Scandal: Tennis prodigy Jennifer Capriati, who won an Olympic Gold Medal and a raft of singles titles before turning 18, went off the rails spectacularly in 1994. Arrested for shoplifting and marijuana possession, she then did not play for almost two years, fuelling speculation that her professional career was over before she had even turned 20.

The Recovery: Capriati took her time to recover but eventually managed to return in style, becoming world number 1 in 2001 and winning three Grand Slams along the way. Now plagued by injury, her future is uncertain, but she is firmly established a legacy as one of the top female players of recent years.

Shinichi Suzukawa AKA Wakakirin

The Scandal: Sumo has been rocked by a number of scandals in recent years, from match fixing to doping, but the latest scandal involves a Japanese wrestler who fights under the ring name Wakakirin. Wakakirin (real name Shinichi Suzukawa) has recently been permanently barred from competing after being arrested for marijuana possession. While the drug isn’t classed as a performance enhancer, sumo wrestlers are expected to dress and live in an austere and ritualised fashion, and the incident has scandalised the sumo wrestling administration.

Speculation that marijuana fuelled munchies may have played a part in crafting Wakakirin’s sumo physique are, at the time of writing, unproven….

The Recovery: Unfortunately for Wakakirin, a recovery doesn’t look likely. He has been dismissed from the sport, and barring some kind of miracle recall, it doesn’t look like he will wrestle professionally again. On the bright side, he hasn’t been expelled (which would have denied him retirement pay)…which is a recovery of sorts…

Ross Rebagliati

The Scandal: Canadian snowboarder Ross Rebagliati had to suffer the ultimate indignation that can be experienced by a sports star – after winning Olympic Gold at the 1998 Winter Olympics he was stripped of his medal when marijuana was discovered in his system.

The Recovery: Interestingly, the ruling was quickly overturned and the medal returned Rebagliati to on the grounds that marijuana a) wasn’t on the list of banned substances and b) wasn’t classed as a performance enhancing drug. Indeed, someone who can win Olympic Gold whilst in any way under the influence of marijuana probably deserves another medal of a different kind!

Damon Stroudamire

The Scandal: Skilled basketball player Damon Stroudamire, nicknamed “Mighty Mouse”, kept hitting the headlines for various marijuana related incidents whilst playing for the Portland Trail Blazers (who unfortunately became know as the Jail Blazers when Stroudamire was playing for them, due to numerous discipline and drug issues.) After his third arrest for marijuana possession in 2003, he was fined a quarter of a million dollars and banned for three months.

The Recovery: Stroudamire went through a 90 day rehabilitation program after his suspension. He also struck a deal with a journalist, that he would provide a urine sample at any point in the season that the journalist nominated. He went on to have one of his best ever seasons, and took the journalist’s test half way through to negative results.

So, unless you are a Japanese sumo wrestler, it seems that marijuana isn’t too damaging in the long term to your career – and that it is more widespread in the sporting world than anyone would normally think…
