Hollywood Today: No Kelly Summer Tour



"Fans will not be seeing Kelly Clarkson in an arena near them, now that the pop-rocker and former “American Idol” has cancelled her 35-date tour due to disappointing ticket sales.
This news comes on the heels of other troubles for Clarkson who left her manager two days ago and publicly butt heads with music mogul Clive Davis over the nature of her forthcoming album “My December.” Perhaps Davis’ misgivings were warranted given the lukewarm reception for Clarkson’s first rock-tinged single “Never Again,” which peaked at eight on the Billboard charts but later fell to 17.
Clarkson’s multi-platinum sophomore disc, 2004’s “Breakaway,” spawned five top ten hits, but the songstress has opted for more rock the third time around, despite the urgings of her label. In the July issue of “Elle” magazine, Clarkson even claimed that Davis offered her $10 million to drop five songs from “My December in favor of more likely hits. She said, “My resistance upsets a lot of people, because we could make a lot of money, and I’m not hating on money. … I’m just not comfortable doing things that don’t feel like me.”"
