Kelly Clarkson rocks the votes as Blender’s “Woman of the Year�

With her hit song SINCE-YOU-BEEN-GONE, Kelly Clarkson rips out of her “southern bell� image to expose a deeper and darker side that even goth-metal guitar-rock dudes can’t seem to get enough of! Blender magazine saddles up with the Lone Star lover in the upcoming January/February issue (on stands Dec. 20th) to reveal what makes Kelly Clarkson giddy up.

Since her breakup with American Idol’s label and management, Kelly says, “I tend to write on the darker side. I like songs when you can actually hear the person cry. It’s free therapy.�

Damn. This girl can drink! “I don’t sweat it,� she says. “Jesus drank. It came straight from the Bible that he had a glass of wine. Actually, I don’t know if it says he actually drank it, but whatever.�

Clarkson may be a Christian, but she admits a side of her that can get down and dirty.
“I think naked women are beautiful creatures – when it’s tastefully done. Christina Aguilera’s ‘Dirty’ video? I wouldn’t mind doing that. A hot video? That’s awesome. Eight seconds of how you felt at a club one time when you’re dancing around? Everybody feels that.�
