Star Turns A Non-Event Into An Event With Clarkson

Robert Wilonsky of the Dallas Observer caught up with Los Angeles attorney Jay Cooper for his reaction to the big controversy surrounding ‘American Idol’ Kelly Clarkson and how she reportedly already had a record deal violating the reality show’s rules. “We don’t have any problems,” said Cooper, who works with the three songwriters Clarkson did the demo with. “What happened was the Star took a non-event and tried to make an event out of it. The young woman did some tracks with my client for the purpose of trying to get a record deal for her. It didn’t come to pass, other than the tracks were recorded. That’s it. This whole thing has been totally blown out of proportion.”
