Brian Hiatt scored some time with Kelly Clarkson for the Q&A in the current issue, grilling the Idol vet on her new album All I Ever Wanted, why Auto-Tune pisses her off, whether she made out with Katy Perry and what she sings around the house for fun. Grab the issue to check out the full story, and check out some bonus Kelly right here — Kelly Clarkson on Boyfriends and Backlash — where the pop star explains the real inspiration behind her heart-wrenching new ballad “Cry” and how she dealt with her most embarrassing YouTube moment (discovering somebody shot footage of her drunkenly singing “Sweet Child O’ Mine with Metal Skool). Clarkson also opens up about her search for a boyfriend — or lack thereof — the backlash to 2007’s My December and rumors that she’s going country.
