Kelly Clarkson: Since U Been Gone, Music Has Sucked Without You

American Idol Champ Makes a Breakaway to No. 1

Kelly Clarkson’s been dreaming of another moment like this.

American Idol’s first viewer-created champ makes a triumphant return to the top of the charts, appropriately enough in time to debut her monster hit, “My Life Would Suck Without You,”  on the show that made her famous as it hits the airwaves for another season of pitchy popstar wannabes.

Move over, Britney.  Kelly’s Clive Davis-approved single claimed the No. 1 slot and leaped into the history books for the biggest jump to number one in Billboard Hot 100 history.  Busting a move up 96 spots, the rock-pop tune beat the previous biggest mover, Britney’s recent 95-spot jump for “Womanizer.”  But Clarkson’s history-making ways don’t stop there. “My Life” also makes Clarkson the first Idol contestant to score a second solo No. 1. Pressure’s on Carrie Underwood!

After the Idol’s last album, My December, failed to strike a chord (at least in comparison to her 2004 smash, Breakaway), the scrapping of her tour due to lousy ticket sales and much-publicized feuds, including one with record boss Clive Davis and another with her managers, this is totally Kelly’s E=MC2 moment.  But, you know, without the Glitter bomb or TRL striptease.  How much kissing of Clive’s ring do you think Kelly had to do to get back into his good graces?

Like her new album, All I Ever Wanted, these 80s glam Marc heels by Marc Jacobs hit the perfect note to highlight Kelly’s playful pop side and return to chart-topping glory.

Britney Spears Raids Madonna’s Closet for Circus Comeback

Flattery or Fashion No No:  “Womanizer” Copycats Couture Costume

Want to feel old, ya’ll?  Britney Spears’ chart topper “Hit Me Baby, One More Time” celebrated its 10-year anniversary not too long ago.  Ah, it seems like just yesterday that the Catholic school girl uniform clad popster had teen-age boys across the globe barricaded in bathrooms.  And after a craaaaazy couple of years, Brit herself edged closer to the big 3-0 with a 27th birthday bash, gifting fans with a Circus comeback and a new look . . . Madonna’s.

Gearing up for her three-ring Circus tour, Britney hit the promo trail with her single “Womanizer” in copycat couture that closely resembles her Material Girl mentor’s tour ensemble, from her ringmaster top-hat down to the knee-high black boots. After the whole no panties thing and her Starbucks and Cheetos diet, BritBrit looks really cute and in good shape and has a decent weave for once.  But Madonna could TOTALLY crush someone with her quads.

The music mavens have been joined at the mic since Madge handed down the pop crown to the Britster at the 2003 MTV VMAs, when the duo shocked and locked lips in a ratings-winning display of faux-lesbianism.  They paired up again in the “Me Against the Music” video and a rehabbed Britney joined the Queen of Pop on-stage during her Sticky and Sweet tour.  No tongues this time.  Hmmm, now that we think about it, the relationship between the BFFs has outlasted their respective marriages.

Maybe Brit is tipping her hat, quite literally, to Ms. M for her support during her “Crazy Britney” head-shaving days.  Or, if rumors from musical spies are true, it might signal that Madonna will duet with her showbiz sis and show up at one of her upcoming shows.  Squeal!  A “Gimme More Holiday” collab would blow the roof off the auditorium.

Show them the bitch is back in crazy, cool black knee-high boots like these by Luichiny.
