And in the Dumbest Rumor Evah department, Kelly Clarkson’s camp has denied that Kelly was asked to join this year’s Idol tour:
Clarkson’s rep tells Access Hollywood that the report is “not true.” Furthermore, a Publicist for the “Idol” tour tells Access that this is the first she has heard of this, and that she has no idea where it is coming from.
In a fabulous game of link pong, first the “World’s Most Important Blog” *cough* Geno’s World starts the rumor. For some reason I haven’t yet figured out, (who the hell is Geno?) Rolling Stone picks up the ball and runs with it. Geno reports on Rolling Stone’s report, failing to mention that Rolling Stone based their report on Geno’s flimsy rumor–making it appear that RS is confirming the report in some way. The New York Post repeats the rumor in their gossip column today.
Finally, Kelly’s people step in to stop the madness, and many many hits later, Geno’s World posts that WHOOPS, the rumor is NOT true. No sh*t Sherlock, Kelly going on tour with this year’s Idols would be wrong, not to mention INSANE on so many levels…
So here’s the deal. I want me some hits. Since Rolling Stone appears to be in the business of printing sourceless rumors, what Idol rumors can you guys come up with that will get ME linked in Rolling Stone’s Rock Blog. Be creative!
