Howard Stern Defends Kelly Clarkson — Rips Clive Davis a New One

The Clive Davis against Kelly Clarkson feud has simmered a bit in the past few days. Leave it to the "King of All Media" to stir the pot again.

On his Sirius radio show this week, Howard Stern defended Kelly Clarkson and put the music executive on blast for the comments he made about Clarkson in his new book 'The Soundtrack of My Life.'

“I always find it sickening when management guys like to set the record straight about how f**king creative and what geniuses they are. This guy’s trying to diminish what she does? Doesn’t he have enough in life? Can’t he sort of tell his story without f**king degrading her and putting her down?”

Yesterday, Davis claimed Clarkson had a "bad memory" and apparently has witnesses to back his story as to what really went down in his office with his former label star. Stern defended Clarkson and sided with her 100% percent.

“I think she has an amazing voice, and the girl has worked hard to get to where she is,” said Stern. “I don’t understand Clive Davis’ motivation for knocking this chick down.”

There is only one way to find out what Davis' deal is -- book him on the show.
