Kelly Clarkson Vs. Beyonce

Here is the video for Kelly Clarkson's new single "Already Gone." I personally think it is a beautiful song with touching lyrics. However, there is some controversy where people claim Clarkson stole the song from Beyonce. And while "Halo" does sound like "Already Gone," it's because the same (lazy) person produced both songs and Beyonce's was released first. I'd hate for this to destroy the potential success of Clarkson's song especially since I think it's better done than "Halo," but in an overrated world where Beyonce is treated like she's the only person in the universe who can actually sing, perhaps Clarkson is in a bit of trouble. Here's the link to Beyonce's "Halo" for comparison.



Ryan Tedder (of One Republic) produced both Clarkson's and Beyonce's song. What I've been hearing is that he worked with Clarkson first and she had written her song before he worked with Beyonce. Rumor also has it that Clarkson later tried to stop the release of the song, but couldn't.



Kelly Clarkson performs an alternative version of the song on the David Letterman show.

Holmes on SYTYCD

During last Thursday's So You Think You Can Dance results show, actress Katie Holmes paid tribute to Judy Garland. Her performance helped raise the ratings 17 percent for the dance competition's 100th episode. She sang and danced to bring light to a charity she supports called the Dizzy Feet Foundation, which improves and increases access to dance education in the United States. Although Holmes has received mixed reviews, judge and executive producer of the show Nigel Lythgoe believes she shouldn't be judged on her dancing since she has had no formal training.

'Harry Potter' Scores $22 Mill

The latest Potter film earned $22.2 million for its midnight debut, making it the biggest midnight gross of all-time. The Warner Bros.' "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was shown in 3,003 runs Wednesday morning.

Ryan Seacrest = $$$$

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest has tripled his earnings since signing a new three-year agreement with CKX, parent of Idol producer 19 Entertainment. With this $45 million deal, Seacrest will now make $15 million per year for the hit show - the highest-rated on television. Previously, he made slightly less than $5 million per season. This new deal is believed to be the richest ever for a reality host.

Mind you, this deal is only for Idol and doesn't include Seacrest's numerous other money-making projects. Seacrest has a separate cable deal with Comcast. He is also E! Entertainment's lead anchor and produces shows such as E!'s "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." He has an upcoming Jamie Oliver reality series in the works for ABC as well. Not to mention his 102.7 KIIS FM gig.

I like a man who can make some dolla-dolla.

Let's Try Again...

In a recent US magazine article, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says that Twilight actor Robert Pattinson is the "better" sex symbol. Rewind... Honestly, I don't find either of them very attractive. I don't understand why just because you're in a popular film, all the sudden you're "sexy." Radcliffe looks awkward and his eyebrows remind me of caterpillars. Pattinson on the other hand kind of resembles a druggie, like a male Amy Winehouse.

Personally, I'd take Ryan Reynolds over either of them any day!

P.S. Reynolds has been cast to play the title role in "Green Lantern."

Get Over Yourself 7

According to Transformers director Michael Bay, actress Megan Fox "says some very ridiculous things." Turns out he's right! Apparently the 23-year-old recently ranted about Bay for focusing more on special effects than on acting according to an US magazine article. It boggles my mind when people talk trash about others who gave them their careers. No one would know who Megan Fox was if Bay had not casted her into the Transformers movies and who says she really can act anyways... Megan Fox, get over yourself!
