'Idol' Clarkson Fired Manager

Uh-oh, Kelly Clarkson is really self-destructing before our eyes. She went to war against music mogul Clive Davis about her latest album and now she has fired her manager. I think those guys wanted her to keep her lesbianism under wraps so she ditched 'em as a rebellion.

Here's what Page Six is reporting:

KELLY Clarkson - the "American Idol" winner who was at war with Sony BMG boss Clive Davis over artistic control of her third album - has fired her manager, The Firm's Jeff Kwatinetz. "Kelly has clearly seen the light," laughed a Davis crony. Clarkson, who's sold 11 million records, has insisted on writing all the songs on her third album and spurned the tunes by other composers which Davis, "the man with the golden ears," was offering her.

"Kwatinetz, a co-producer of Kelly's upcoming album, led her down the road of recording without the benefit of Clive Davis' magic and collaboration with hit-making songwriters," our source said.

"Clive was trying to stop her from jumping off a cliff." Kwatinetz, who treated Clarkson like "a little sister," was said by a pal to be "shocked." "She's not happy, and she can't fire Clive, so she fired Jeff," said the source.

A spokesperson for The Firm issued this statement: "Kelly Clarkson is an enormously talented artist, and we are pleased to have served as her managers in her well-deserved rise to stardom. We have only the best wishes and hopes for her in the future."
