Kelly Clarkson Fires Her Manager!

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Friday, July 6, 2007

On her much maligned new album, Kelly Clarkson expressed nothing but love for her former manager — then she fired his ass!

While the feud, er, creative differences between Kelly and music mogul Clive Davis haven’t been a secret, her recent firing of The Firm’s Jeff Kwatinetz — on top of scrapping her tour — proved there was trouble in Clarksonland!

But in the liner notes of “My December,” Clarkson sings a different tune by writing, “Thank you to my manager Jeff Kwatinetz for arguing with me and fighting for me!

I hate ‘yes’ people, and you are far from that, always wanting the best out of me and for me. Sometimes I want to punch you, but most of the time you inspire me and make me laugh, because you are one of the most passionate and driven people I have ever worked with.

Thank you for believing in me! I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE WE GOT THIS RECORD OUT, HA HA!!”

Neither can Clive Davis!

Despite the pleasantries, Kelly fired Kwatinetz, who was once engaged to Brittany Murphy, and hired Reba McEntire’s manager/husband Narvel Blackstock. Let’s hope Blackstock can save our little Miss Independent from self-destructing.

“My December” debuted this week at #2 on the Billboard charts selling over 290,000 copies. Yeah, yeah. Since u been gone!
