Kelly Clarkson And Jacob Butler BFF; Marty Simpson Pressured To Reveal Long-Term Web Romance With Fantasia Barrino

Whoda thunk it? Apparently Kelly Clarkson – who put in a lacklustre performance on Friday at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre (we know because, like, someone rang us mid-Since You’ve Been Gone with their phone in the air) – is totally besties with everyone’s favourite Idol “knob” (thanks, Dicko), Jacob Butler!

Rock-lover Butler spent time on the road with Churko and Clarkson when they travelled through London, Cardiff and Dublin in 2006.

Butler is reportedly stoked to be reuniting with his old gal pal when she hits the stage to perform Never Again.

And “never again” was apparently what Kelly was seen mouthing to her peeps when walking away from farewelling Butler at the airport!

Or, at least, that’s what we’d say.
