Here's OG "American Idol" Kelly Clarkson filming her latest video in L.A. this weekend (left) -- and fledgling British pop star Jessie J in concert recently (right).

It's amazing what winning a contest will do to a person.
 
We're just sayin'.

Queen of Pop Madonna is performing during the halftime show at the Super Bowl, while original "American Idol" Kelly Clarkson is singing the national anthem.

Question is ...

Wearing a form fitting white bandage dress, Christina Aguilera showed off her stunning talents at the AMAs last week, while Kelly Clarkson belted out her hits in a copper colored version on "The X-Factor."

Question is ...

Kelly Clarkson waged war on Best Buy this week -- after one store refused to sell her iPods for her orphan charity drive -- but, fortunately, this story has a happy ending.



Kelly wrote a diatribe on her Facebook page on Tuesday -- claiming Best Buy at the Ridgemar Mall in Fort Worth, TX refused to sell her iPod shuffles ... citing a store policy which limits how many iPods they can sell to a customer.

But according to sources at Best Buy, no such policy exists ... and corporate is PISSED -- in fact, a BB rep even left an apology on Clarkson's Facebook, explaining, "We spoke to the management [at Ridgemar] and they'd like to apologize for this experience ... their intention was not to upset you."

But that's not all Best Buy did -- after Kelly was allowed to buy the iPods she wanted at a nearby location ... BB corporate donated a bunch to her charity. Hooray!

Some people can hold it. Kelly Clarkson is not one of those people.



Kelly was performing in Germany on Friday night when she mysteriously disappeared from the stage during a song. The band covered for her for a bit before she finally returned. She finished the song and then admitted, "I'm really sorry, I had to pee."

Such a lady.

Proving she's still an American idol, Kelly Clarkson took the stage at KIIS FM's Wango Tango concert this weekend.



After her last album didn't do as well as expected, the 27-year-old has made a big comeback.

After Kelly Clarkson performed on "American Idol" last night, our mailbox was flooded with peeps saying she looked pregnant.


Either way, she rocked her performance.

Kelly Clarkson is officially crawling back to people that made her who she is ... by reselling out and hitting up an "Idol" event at, of all places, Disney World.

In the greatest gathering of minds since the creation of NATO, sources say Clarkson -- who has dissed "A.I." and Clive Davis in the past -- is joining the other six winners (and a slew of losers) from the show for the debut of the "American Idol Experience" at Disney World in Orlando tonight.

The "A.I." experience is a 365-day-a-year dream-crushing extravaganza for all the wannabe singers at the park -- not including the employees forced to sing "It's A Small World" by the bathrooms at the Kilimanjaro Safari.

Despite having the #1 song in the country, tickets to a Kelly Clarkson concert are being knocked down by 50% and all you have to do to get them is ... fly to the Bahamas and pay for four nights of hotel accommodations!



Even resort hotels like the Atlantis are feeling the economic pinch, so they're trying to lure vacationers by slashing prices to Clarkson's February 14th concert. Suicidal shark not included.

If they really wanted to be your Valentine, they'd just slash their room rates!

Believe it or not, one of them won an Oscar at the age of 11.

We're just sayin'.

One of them is rockin' ... highlights.
