![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
At least one former "American Idol" isn't worried about the housing crisis -- Kelly Clarkson just bought herself a new crib, y'all!
The OG "Idol" purchased this really nice -- but modest for a Grammy-winning pop star -- $1.5 million home in Nashville.
Maybe keeping it simple will be keeping Kelly from having to perform at local balloon festivals, housing developments or outlet malls in the future!

I think it is nice to see someone with money that doesn't feel like they need a house as big as a football field.

Nice! keeping it simple. But it's time to kick out some more music if you wish to keep what you have.

john travolta has the ugly house, the inside looks like it could be the most uncomfortable place to try and relax. It does look like an airport inside as well as out. Kelly you have great taste and good luck with the new home.

I'd do the same if I won the lottery.
Don't NEED the United States for a front yard or 2000 bedrooms I'll never use...

I hope she writes her own songs. Don't want to acquire such things for doing other people songs when they don't make as much

Good job Kelly. This house is very beautiful, tasteful and not overdone. It is refreshing to see a celebrity not purchase a house the size of a museum, flaunting their wealth in front of us regular folk.

That is what old Ed gets for marrying a woman old enough to be her grandpa..she cleaned his old ass out and now he's looking for a hand out..he should put her ass on the hoe stroll to bring in some of the money she spent!!!

i think you won't see miss clarkson performing at a festival any time soon. her last tour with reba was an enormous success and her new album is almost finished. she's not the only one of clive davis's contractees to battle over an album (*cough whitney *cough*).

Just an FYI, TMZ; not everyone born and reared south of New Jersey uses "y'all" on a regular basis. Please eirther recycle the jokes or get some new writers. This one is as stale as month old bread.

Uh, aside from the malls Ms. Clarkson has performed in front of the current pope.
Does it get any better than that?
Y'all, indeed.
