Kelly Clarkson is turning out to be a more outspoken "American Idol."

The singer has admitted that she struggled to get her latest album made, because of record company executives trying to choose her music for her. However, the strong-minded pop star insisted on making an album her way or no way.

"American Idol" doesn't have a fan in soul singer Joss Stone.

The British entertainer admits she was a fan of the talent contest when it first debuted, and launched the career of Kelly Clarkson, but now believes it has gone downhill.

Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Hicks are not competing on "American Idol" anymore, but that doesn't mean they are free from Simon Cowell's criticism.

The acid-tongued judge spoke out about the two former contestants while at the Annual Paley Festival at the Directors Guild of America in West Hollywood.

It seems like many celebrities are just trying to be nice about Britney Spears' new look without getting to the bottom of the issue.

Kelly Clarkson has said the pop princess still "looks hot" with a bald head.
