Like good twenty-first-century rock stars, Kelly Clarkson and John Mayer are taking to the Net to share their innermost thoughts. The latest: Clarkson takes on her “supposed feud” with label boss Clive Davis while Mayer gently admonishes the 63 fans arrested for underage drinking at his recent Pennsylvania concert by threatening to teabag them.
Clarkson friends and foes have been breathlessly following her tiff with Davis over her latest album, My December (at one point the American Idol victor implied Davis’ age impeded his enjoyment of her work). But now — after the LP has so far failed to impress on the charts — the singer has changed her tack. “I want to set the record straight on this,” Clarkson writes. “Contrary to recent characterizations in the press, I’m well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key advisor and has been an important force in my success to date. He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so. I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice.”
John Mayer, on the other hand, is using his always-entertaining blog to address the 63 fans who were accused by Hershey, Pennsylvania police of everything from underage drinking to disorderly conduct to possession of marijuana and public drunkenness at a recent concert: “If I happen to be walking backstage and I see any of you young men passed out drunk on a stretcher, make no mistake about it, you will come-to in front of your disappointed parents with a face full of Sharpie and the sneaking suspicion that you’ve been teabagged by one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2007.”
