At least in her blog she does. In a post dedicated solely to calling out Kanye West for his extremely unbecoming actions following Taylor Swift's win in the "Best Female Video" category for her "You Belong with Me" music video at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, Kelly Clarkson totally ripped the over-inflated, egocentric rapper on her personal blog. Although the whole post deserves to be placed below, here is a snippet:I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??
Wow, Kelly is so awesome and she doesn't even know it (or maybe she just has a ton more tact and class than Kanye will ever have). Congrats Kelly on the most interesting and candid blog you have ever posted.

Alums tweet their thoughts on Kanye-Swiftgate
So by now everyone has seen or at least hard about the drama that went down onstage between Taylor Swift and Kanye West at MTV's Video Music Awards this evening. Obviously, Idol alums had no shortage of opinions on the matter on Twitter. Below is a sampling of what some had to say:LaBelleMusikKanye whaaaattttt! Omg. My heart just fell for that poor girl. He just killer her dream & whole moment. Wow. That was horrible. So wrong! :( about 2 hours ago from UberTwitter
Needless to say, Kanye has lost a lot of respect from people in all sectors of the music industry after tonight's events. And for good reason.

Kelly Clarkson's music director gets "schooled"
Kelly Clarkson was sighted on multiple networks earlier this evening following the profiling of her music director, Jason Halbert, on the kickoff documentary "Get Schooled: You Have the Right." The initiative, which is a co-founded by Viacom and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is a brand-new five-year public service effort to encourage the nation's students to stay in school and graduate. Watch Jason's piece of the documentary below, which shows him pursuing a degree at BerkleeMusic.com:
Others profiled during the half-hour piece include one of President Obama's speechwriters, Sarah Hurwitz, and LeBron James' marketing exec Latesha Williams. The over-sized PSA was simulcasted on Viacom-owned cable operations such as MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central.

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Carrie Underwood to be inducted into OK Music HOF
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>It has only been four years since Carrie Underwood rose to stardom, but she will soon be able to say she is enshrined in the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. According to CMT.com:Carrie Underwood is one of three performers selected as this year's inductees into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. The announcement was made Monday (Aug. 10) during a news conference at the Tulsa Press Club.
It was last December that Carrie was inducted into the Grand Ol Opry. The ceremony and concert will take place on Thurs., Sept. 17, in the Muskogee Civic Center.
>Season 8's Top 10 finalists made a stop by NASDAQ while in New York City on Tuesday, where they partook in the tradition of Idol alums doing the ceremonial ringing of the bell to close out the day's trading. Watch the event below:
The crazy poses in the middle of the video above were used as shots of the finalists displayed out on an LCD screen on the exterior of a building. The group of 10 were in town to perform in concert as part of their "Idols Live!" tour stop at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island.
>Jennifer Hudson became Idol's latest new mother, as the third season's seventh-place finalist gave birth to David Daniel Otunga Jr. late Monday night. According to Us Magazine, the couple's publicist said the 7-pound, 14-ounce baby "is beautiful and perfect."
>While making an appearance at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards, Jordin Sparks ran into a familiar face amidst the sea of celebs. Who else but Ashley Ferl (a.k.a. the "crying girl") turned up and was sure to impress Jordin with her awesome crying skills. Jordin tweeted about the meet up, saying:Look who I saw yesterdayyyy! No, Sanjaya wasn't there! Lol http://twitpic.com/dfb83 4:12 PM Aug 10th from TwitterFon
Looks like not much has changed in two years.
>Kimberly Caldwell will be fulfilling hosting duties for MTV's upcoming series P. Diddy's Starmaker. Per a press release issued earlier this week:
Singer, actress and television personality Kimberly Caldwell has worked as an entertainment correspondent and host for the TV Guide Network. Kimberly first hit the limelight as an artist on another popular reality competition show, which gives her the ability to develop an intimate and empathetic relationship with the aspiring "StarMaker" contestants.
Starmaker premieres on Sun., Aug. 16 at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield" video leaks
As expected, Jordin Sparks' new music video for her current single, "Battlefield," leaked yesterday courtesy of tudou.com. See a rough version of the video below:
The first half of the video is rather uneventful, although the use of white and black for Jordin's dresses are symbolic. But once she goes into her battle position on the catchy and ear-grabbing "guess you better go and get your armor" line, the whole theme of the video changes and the corporation of the smoke and colors at night give it a feeling of excitement. Add to it the fact that she looks more mature than in her past videos, and we have a recipe for a hit depending on whether or not the song can get its act together at radio and on the sales chart.
The music video was slated to (and will still) officially premiere on MTV later today.

'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' premieres with Sanjaya
Since his quest to become the next American Idol back in 2007 didn't pan out the way he wanted it to, Sanjaya's quest to become the champ of NBC's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! began last night with much more attainable odds for an actual victory for the faux-hawked one. Watch a pre-season impromptu interview of Sanjaya on his way to the jungles of Costa Rica:
Sanjaya is playing for Shriners Hospital for Children TBC as his charity. Other celebrities starring this season include Frangela, Stephen Baldwin and, until today, Spencer and Heidi Pratt. The stars of MTV's The Hills dropped out after being embarrassed to be spending time with the likes of "reality stars," which they apparently think they are not.
If this is any indication of how the season will go, it looks like Sanjaya might have an easy trek to the top of the ticket.
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here airs Mondays through Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET and will wrap up with a finale on Wed., June 24.

Kelly goes acoustic on SUBG & MLWSWY
Kelly Clarkson tried her hand at making two uber-successful, highly-processed tracks of hers sound a little bit less in your face yesterday when she visited the UK's Radio 1 Live Lounge. Kelly sang "Since U Been Gone" and "My Life Would Suck Without You" in an acoustic arrangement, giving the songs a whole new feel. Watch videos of the performances below:
"Since U Been Gone" (Acoustic):
"My Life Would Suck Without You" (Acoustic):
Kelly has been pretty much everywhere recently in full-promo mode, as the release of her fourth studio album, All I Ever Wanted, is less than two weeks away. She sat down with MTV's Buzzworthy, where she discussed the title confusion over the original reporting of Masquerade being her album's title.

Snippet of Paula Abdul's "Boombox"
So it's no secret that Paula Abdul is working on a new album, and she used today's premiere of her MTV special RAH! Paula Abdul’s Cheerleading Bowl to unveil the album's first single, "Boombox." Listen to a snippet of the track below:
Well, it does seem a bit better than her effort with Randy Jackson on last year's "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow." The song is not her own, however. It was originally recorded by Kylie Minogue and will be the title track for her remix album that will be released early this year.

Britneymania brings Marque Lynch mention
In the highly anticipated (and very disappointing) MTV documentary on Britney Spears Britney: For the Record, which premiered on the network on Sunday, an old Idol hopeful's name came up (at 7:05 in the video below) over dinner in New York City when the actor mentioned he had previously starred in the Broadway production of The Lion King.
Marque Lynch, who was in Group 1 during the Top 32 in Season 3, was referenced by a Broadway actor from the show In the Heights while he was eating dinner with Britney, a name she immediately recognized. On the show, Marque performed "Wind Beneath My Wings."
Although this might seem strange at first glance, it is not as obscure as one might think. Before auditioning for Idol, Marque was a regular castmember on Disney's The New Mickey Mouse Club with Britney, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and even Ryan Gosling. See him perform Tevin Campbell's "Always In My Heart" from the show with Timberlake and Gosling below:
How's the for six degrees of Idol-nation?

VMA wrap-up: Jordin steals the spotlight
Although she went home empty-handed Sunday at MTV's 25th annual Video Music Awards, Jordin Sparks shook up the scene at the Paramount Pictures lot with her heat of the moment defense of the Jonas Brothers after their decision to wear purity rings was mocked by host Russell Brand (who?) in his opening monologue.
Jordin was so upset by his remarks that she had to give her two cents when it was her turn to introduce T.I. alongside John Legend. Watch her response below:
The comeback has been receiving a lot of press and online buzz, mostly positive. On the awards front, Jordin's video for "No Air" lost out to Tokio Hotel's "Ready, Set, Go!" for Best New Artist and Britney Spears' "Piece of Me" for Best Female Video. Maybe next year, but it's not like it's a Grammy or anything.

'The House Bunny' promo week wrap-up
This week was an extremely busy one for Katharine McPhee as she prepped for the release of her first feature film, The House Bunny. Katharine appeared with cast mates for interviews and premieres, some of which are documented below.
Katharine sat down with her costars with Entertainment Tonight for two interviews, including one that aired in a package on the show's broadcast on Tues., Aug. 12. Watch it below:
Katharine attended the New York premiere of the film at Hearst Tower on Monday, as seen pictured on the right (photo courtesy of WireImage). The premiere was sponsored by Cosmo Girl magazine. Also in attendance were cast mates Anna Faris, Rumer Willis, Emma Stone and Australian pop/rock duo The Veronicas, who were in the city to tape a performance on MTV's Total Request Live. While at the premiere Katharine and friends sat down with ET for a second interview, which can be watched below:
Katharine also spoke with ReelTalk TV while on the red carpet at the New York premiere. In the interview Katharine talks about what it is like to play the part of a pregnant girl and how it felt to work on a movie set for the first time. Watch the interview below:
Another Web-based media outlet that the Katharine and the cast granted interviews to was ComingSoon.net, which was posted yesterday and can be viewed below:
Today the cast of The House Bunny appeared on TRL this morning, which was taped on Monday.
Tonight is the official Los Angeles premiere, which will be streamed live on MySpace and ETOnline.com at 9:30 p.m. ET. At the premiere, the cast members will take part in an interactive "Pink Carpet Chat" with viewers.

VMA update: VotY is "No Air"-less
Although it seemed like a sure thing, the video for "No Air" did not make the final cut for the most coveted Video of the Year category for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Jordin Sparks' duet with Chris Brown was slighted in order to make room for such "masterpieces" as Britney Spears' "Piece of Me" and The Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up."
Despite the non-nomination, "No Air" is still up for Best New Artist and Best Female Video, and is surprisingly the only Idol-related video on the ballot for the awards show.
The VMAs will air live on Sept. 7, 2008, at 9 p.m. on MTV. It will be hosted by Russell Brand.

VMA update: Video of the Year now open
Since neither Paula Abdul nor Katharine McPhee made the final nomination roster for the Best Dancing in a Video category, it was Jordin Sparks who was the sole Idol alum to receive a nomination for a category last week. Jordin was nominated for Best New Artist for her video for "No Air." In that category, Jordin must deal with Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry among others.
But the most important category for all - Video of the Year - is now up for voting on narrowing down the nominees. On the list are Jordin ("No Air," "One Step At a Time"), Paula ("Dance Like There's No Tomorrow"), Katharine ("Love Story"), Blake Lewis ("Break Anotha"), Carrie Underwood ("Last Name"), Daughtry ("Feels Like Tonight," "Over You"), Elliott Yamin ("One Word") and Jennifer Hudson ("Spotlight"). Strangely enough, none of Daughtry's videos are nominated for Best Rock Video, which is also now open voting.
Voting for the category ends on Wed., Aug. 13, with the final nominees being revealed on Fri., Aug. 15. The VMAs will air live on Sept. 7, 2008, at 9 p.m. on MTV.

VMA update: Best Dancing, BNA categories now open
In a surprising twist of events, no Idol alum - not even Jordin Sparks - made the cut in the Best Pop Video category, which finished winnowing its nominees on Wednesday. The video seemed almost a lock for a nomination, but it unexpectedly fell victim to videos by Danity Kane and Tokio Hotel among others.
There are two more categories open to fans voting for nominations, however, and both feature videos by alums that have a shot at nominations. For the Best Dancing in a Video category, Katharine McPhee's "Love Story" and Paula Abdul's "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" are both (long shot) contenders. But for the Best New Artist category, Jordin looks to have a good shot at a nomination, represented by her videos for "No Air" and "One Step At a Time." Blake Lewis is also on the ballot and is represented by his video for "Break Anotha."
Voting for the categories ends on Wed., Aug. 6, with the final nominees being revealed on Fri., Aug. 8. The VMAs will air live on Sept. 7, 2008, at 9 p.m. on MTV.

Heidi Montag made it to Hollywood..in 2004
Yes, it's true. The star of MTV's The Hills tells J-14 magazine that she actually made it to the Hollywood round in 2004 for what would have been Season 4. As dug up by veronicamarsfan on IDF, according to the summer 2007 issue of the magazine:
Heidi Montag has proudly admitted that she, among the likes of William Hung, is an American Idol reject! Montag, who stars on MTV's hit show "The Hills" with Lauren Conrad, says "I auditioned for American Idol in late 2004 in San Francisco, but my audition and Hollywood performances never aired on TV," laughed Heidi.It's a sad fact that Heidi will never have the chance to grace the Idol stage, but something tells IDOL LIVE that this is a good thing. America was spared seeing this on its TV screens.
When asked what Simon Cowell said to her about her singing, she joked, saying, "He thought I was horrible and he made me cry! No, but seriously, when I first auditioned, the judges didn't really like me. Simon said I was just another pretty girl with an okay voice. Randy said that I was better than most of the people they had seen in San Francisco. Paula said she was on the fence, but I seriously got down on my knees and begged her and she finally said yes. But it didn't matter because I ended up getting cut on the first day of Hollywood. I was really upset, but I got over it because I had just moved to San Francisco to start a new life."
