With 'Stronger,' Clarkson Finally at Ease

LOS ANGELES (AP) It may have taken some time, but Kelly Clarkson seems to finally be releasing an album without any drama on the side."Everything is good, everything is happy," she said, laughing brightly during a recent interview to promote "Stronger," released this week.It's a different scenario than her last two albums: She went through public disputes with legendary executive and mogul Clive Davis over her third album and with OneRepublic singer-songwriter Ryan Tedder after her last album was released.They were typical of the bold stances she's taken that proved her to be more than the passive, malleable product of a hit TV competition, establishing her as an artist instead of just a voice."I've been a fighter since I started walking," she said, adding casually and genuinely a line that could be lifted from one of her inspirational songs: "We get one life. You want to make sure that you're living it how you want to live it."Since Clarkson became the first "American Idol" a decade ago, she's established herself as one of pop's most formidable, and successful singers. She's sold over 20 million albums worldwide and landed seven singles in the Billboard Hot 100 top 10, including "Breakaway," ''My Life Would Suck Without You," "Miss Independent," and perhaps her biggest hit, "Since U Been Gone."Clarkson has maintained creative control of her music and career since her "Idol" days, and has written on all of her albums. But her determination to chart her own course has not come without a few battles. In 2007, Davis became concerned over the less commercial sound of Clarkson's third album, "My December," which Clarkson revealed publicly after rumors of a rift; Clarkson later mended fences and called the tension overblown. Then in 2009, Clarkson called out Tedder for musical similarities between "Already Gone," which he wrote for Clarkson, and Beyonce's "Halo," which he also wrote.Clarkson calls her new collection of 13 songs "the easiest record that I've made with my label." But she makes clear that's because the suits bent to her will not the other way around."I think people project on you like the formula that has worked in the past. And then they get to know you," she said. "(Now) they know me better as an artist, they know me better as a person. They know what I'm going to do and what I don't like, and it just really works."Sonically, "Stronger" doesn't tinker much with the formula that has helped Clarkson become the top-selling "Idol" artist ever, blending clean pop-guitar riffs with contemporary dance synths. But there is an undertone of loneliness and sadness coursing throughout, including some downbeat lyrics co-written by Clarkson herself."Hello, is anybody listening? Won't somebody show me that I'm not alone," she sings on "Hello.""If you look at my whole catalogue, there are far more sadder songs than happy," the Texan acknowledges in her Southern drawl. "But that's only because writing is a form of therapy. So obviously the things that you're getting out are the things that you've been going through and struggling with. You want to keep all the happy inside. If I'm going through a hard time, I write it out."In person, Clarkson is bubbly and quick to laugh, sharing that in her time off, she picked up the violin and started learning Italian with Rosetta Stone. "I'm horrible at it so far," she laments lightly.But she never comes close to revealing the subject of "Stronger's" multiple scornful breakup and kiss-off songs. "You don't know a thing about me," she sings on the first single, "Mr. Know It All." And it's true that the 29-year-old retains an enigmatic air, despite her down-to-Earth image.Toby Gad, who co-wrote and produced two songs on "Stronger," had planned on a 10-minute meeting with Clarkson when the two first met, but ended up at a two-hour dinner."She's a very strong survivor, and very organic and very real," he said. "You can connect with her on a very human level."Still, after the dinner and several days of revising lyrics alongside the pop star, he said he doesn't remember if she ever mentioned her own relationships to him.While Clarkson seems to sing almost exclusively about the ups and downs of love, her songs are often deceptively universal. Clarkson says "Mr. Know It All" could apply to her own record label or to the media, and Gad's "The War Is Over" functions as a coda to a romance or to an actual war."That's the underlying theme for her, to vent emotions that we all feel in our relationships," Gad said.And Clarkson will continue to vent as she sees fit."I'm always vocal," she said. "People ask me and I tell them. If I have a problem, I say it. I'm never malicious about it, I just say what happened. And I think a lot of people don't do that. So I think it maybe catches people off guard. But I don't know any other way to be but honest musically or personally. So I guess that just comes through."Copyright 2011 Associated Press.

Moviefone Open Thread: Have You Really Like 'Paranormal Activity 3'?

Probably the most surprising story from the weekend wasn't the record-breaking box office of 'Paranormal Activity 3,' nor the idea the horror prequel-follow up is really a "game-changer" since it was more effective than its predecessor. (As Deadline's Nikki Finke appeared to forget in her own 'Parnormal Activity 3' analysis, 'Jackass three dimensional, 'Scary Movie 3' and 'Austin Forces 3' are third franchise films that exceeded the outlet grosses of individuals series' second records.) That which was surprising? That 'Parnormal Activity 3' gained only "C+" rating in the mostly hard to rely on-but-not-totally-useless Cinemascore. Translation: you actually did not love that one! Which boosts the question: why don't you? As evidenced by 'Drive,' poor Cinemascore rankings usually signify some type of marketing tomfoolery audiences expect one factor, they get another, after which react angrily towards the bait-and-switch throughout exit polling. When 'Drive' gained a "C-" grade from Cinemascore, it had been understandable (though not understandable enough to warrant a suit): the film was a workout in genre artsploitation rather than the raucous action audiences may have expected. Within the situation of 'Parnormal Activity 3,' however, the reduced score is surprising. In the end, the trailers and marketing demonstrated a movie which was similar in tone and elegance towards the previous two, and audiences were fine using the 'PA' mythology before. The somewhat-criticized second film ranked like a "B" on Cinemascore was 'Parnormal Activity 3' much worse? Are audiences really over this series regardless of the record-setting opening weekend amounts? Vital certainly hopes not. The studio is apparently already considering a 4th film. "I can not suppose we wouldn't create a # 4, and that i imagine [Vital Film Group leader] Adam Goodman today is taking into consideration the challenge," Vital mind of domestic distribution Don Harris told TheWrap on Sunday. "I am sure he's thinking, 'Now exactly what do I actually do?AInch Well, make a different one. The combined plan for the 3 'Paranormal Activity' films is simply over $8 million total. That's without marketing costs, but nonetheless: with almost $450 million in worldwide grosses these films are essentially a license to print money. As lengthy because the audiences are turning up in certain capacity -- even when the returns diminish for entry four and beyond -- the film's make sense financially. Obviously, whether future 'Paranormal Activity' sequels seem sensible for the pocketbook remains to appear. The ground is yours, dear Moviefone visitors: have you enjoy 'Paranormal Activity 3' and can you purchase a different one?

At NYFF: Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow and Wes Anderson Remember 'The Royal Tenenbaums' and also the Cantankerous Gene Hackman

"In the introduction for Pedro Almodovar last evening, Richard Pena made the reality that after a lot of many a lot of wonderful films, Almodovar has returned in the NY Film Festival having a movie as new so that as adventurous every he's available. He isn't planning to relaxation on his laurels," Wes Anderson stated throughout his introduction for that tenth anniversary screening of 'The Royal Tenenbaums' in the NY Film Festival on Thursday evening. "Which really struck a chord beside me because that is what I have come here to complete.Inch Anderson could do far worse than sitting on the laurels of 'Tenenbaums': it's perhaps his best film and inarguably his most financially effective. Launched on 12 ,. 14, 2001 -- approximately three several weeks following the terrorist attacks on 9/11 -- the now-essential NY film made $52 million in the domestic box office, snapped up an Oscar nomination for the best Original Script (Anderson and co-star Owen Wilson), and, as Anderson stated throughout the publish-screening Q&A, required him from the art-house ghetto for a while. The good thing is that 'The Royal Tenebaums' is really as funny and heartbreaking while you remember (R.I.P. Buckley) the greater news is the fact that in recognition from the film's tenth anniversary, Anderson and stars Gwyenth Paltrow, Bill Murray and Angelica Huston made an appearance in the Alice Tully Hall in NY's Lincoln subsequently Center to go over the crowning achievement. Ahead, six findings in the evening. "I am not speaking about dance training. I am speaking about placing a brick with the other man's car windows. I am speaking about taking it and cutting up up.Inch While Paltrow, Murray and Huston made an appearance for that tenth anniversary, star Gene Hackman wasn't gift for the festivities. That was most likely for top, thinking about just how much he intimidated Anderson. "I had been [scared]. They were not," Anderson stated, though that wasn't really true. "I had been very scared," stated Paltrow. Huston agreed: "I had been a great deal scared, however i was more worried about safeguarding Wes." The worry of dealing with Hackman aside, Anderson stated he could not imagine doing 'The Royal Tenenbaums without him. Something which almost happened. "Gene passed for any year . 5. He was kind of instructed to perform the movie which wasn't fair, really. I simply stored asking him and disturbing him. I simply used him lower. I did not genuinely have much use of him, I'm not sure generate an income worked out that. Eventually he just type of caved." What triggered the modification of heart? Murray had a minumum of one idea. "He's weak. Gene is weak," the star stated to thunderous laughter. "Whenever you challenge someone like Gene, you discover his weakness. He's an excellent actor and that he was great within the movie and every one of us here hate Gene Hackman." Kidding. Most likely. "Let us shag ass." The version of 'The Royal Tenebaums' that you have seen a large number of occasions really is not the version that opened in the NY Film Festival 10 years ago. That cut used many Beatles tunes, that Anderson wasn't in a position to secure the privileges. Not too he did not make use of all his connections so that they can have them. "I attempted to bribe Paul McCartney," Paltrow stated. "Sex and everything." There wasn't sex involved, but there is some... bowling? "I wound up taking him bowling, strangely enough, with Louise Mills, his ex-wife, and Luke Wilson," she stated. "Wes put me on the mission. 'You gotta obtain the privileges!' He loved the film, only then do we went bowling and that he stated he's nothing related to the privileges." Womp womp. Or as Murray summed up: "Paul McCartney, too, is weak." "You've made a cuckold of me." All the way through, the cast of 'The Royal Tenenbaums' was perfect, a well known fact that did not escape Murray. "It had been an excellent bunch. Another individuals are so large they did not even need to come," Murray stated, amusingly mentioning to Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Danny Glover, narrator Alec Baldwin and Hackman. "It had been an excellent group. I loved the small kids a great deal. They weren't weak, individuals two. These were strong. It had been a great job." Within the film, Murray shares many moments with Paltrow. Did he enjoy dealing with the Oscar champion? "To utilize Gwyneth, I truly loved dealing with Gwyneth," Murray stated to laughter. "I'd rather not say something that you'll misunderstand, however i loved dealing with Gwyneth. She thinks things i believe." Seems like they'd a ball. "This is the before you place a knife within me!Inch Why is exactly the same number of stars keep returning to Wes Anderson films? "I'd rather not say he's weak that puts him inside a category with McCartney and Hackman," stated Murray, that has labored with Anderson five occasions. "I'm not sure if there is a word that states he's someone I anticipate dealing with again. I'd rather not say exciting. 'Exciting?' I am animated. I believe he will get things out of folks that they do not escape ordinarily. He causes us to be all make a move different." Huston, that has done three films using the director, agreed: "He's someone I love to be around. He's someone who you are pleased to be incorporated within his circle." Paltrow never labored with Anderson again, but he still ranks among her most difficult film bosses. "My word could be specific," when requested to explain Anderson. "I have never labored with any director who's so precise about not just what he wants, but it is far beyond that. I recall our first meeting in SoHo, and that he only agreed to be explaining the role. 'She wears black eye liner and her locks are kinda the colour of the coat' -- camal -- 'and it's going to here, and she or he wears Izod dresses.' It had been like, 'OK, great.' I felt so comfortable while he understood precisely what he wanted. It had been built such precise way and that i had this freedom beneath it. I did not need to bother about things i was doing." "Baby, I am dying. I am sick like a dog. I'm going to be dead in six days. I am dying." One of the numerous great moments in 'The Royal Tenenbaums' happens when Royal informs his estranged wife Ethel that he's dying. Except he isn't. Except he's. "Which was my first scene with Gene Hackman and that i was particularly afraid, because I possibly could tell he wasn't in an exceedingly good mood that morning," Huston stated. "It had been a really cold morning, and that i was putting on kid mitts, as well as in testing, I smacked his lapel. Whenever we went ahead and shot it, I hit him an excellent. I saw the imprint of my hands on his oral cavity. It had been very good I truly loved that scene." So did Anderson, because it got Hackman to express a line he'd formerly declined to utter. "The take we me is whenever you whacked him. I recall I had been looking to get him to express goddamn," stated the director. "He stated he did not am getting at goddamn he desired to say damn because, 'They'll just change it out later.' I stated, 'Nobody will change it out later.' He stated, 'No, not to imply it.' When you hit him he stated, 'Goddamn.'" "I do not think you are an asshole, Royal. I simply think you are type of a boy of the bitch." While a lot of the evening was spent remembering Gene Hackman horror tales, the 'Tenenbaum' group agreed he wasn't as bad because they made him seem. "I loved dealing with him," stated Paltrow. "I loved finding yourself in exactly the same moments as him. He was type of a bear of the guy, however i also found something very sweet and sad inside. I loved him a great deal. I believe he's among the finest stars whatever person resided. To stay in his presence watching him do his factor. It's like -- you realize, you are Gene Hackman, you may be inside a bad fucking mood." "I'll stick up for Gene too," stated Murray. "I'd hear these tales, like, 'Gene threatened to kill me today.' 'He can't kill you, you are inside a union.' 'Gene threatened to consider most of us and hang fire to us.' 'It's a union shoot, it's NY, he can't set fire for you.AInch Hackman fortunately did not light any fires, though Murray stated he understood a few of the rage issues when he visited the set eventually for any scene between Hackman and Luke Wilson. "[Gene] does his factor and it takes approximately 50-a minute, and Luke blew his line 13 or 14 occasions. Luke Wilson. I figured Luke was good? He isn't good. Because at that time, he was deeply in love with this girl right here" -- Murray pointed in an embarrassed Paltrow -- "and that he could not think straight. So this is the trouble with Gene. He needed to use Luke who had been dizzy for each other and Kumar Pallana, each day.Inch Kumar Pallana performed Hackman's onscreen partner, the immortal Pagoda. "He'd, like, an entire spread-out senior high school kid and Kumar each day. The number of individuals have labored with Kumar? None individuals! You would not be around should you have had. Kumar makes Luke Wilson seem like Gielgud. Basically needed to use Kumar and Luke Wilson, I'd have set fire for this whole building."

Hero Shots Galore: The Avengers Trailer Assembles!

This morning Disney released the first full trailer for Joss Whedon’s Marvel superhero party The Avengers, and ZOMG guys — have there ever been two minutes of action more packed with hero shots, zingers, and things blowing up before this very moment? (Michael Bay might give Whedon a run for his money, but the Avengers trailer has what even his robot spectaculars don’t: copious slow-mo superhero booty shots. Consider the bar raised.) In fact, the trailer doesn’t even bother with explaining plot and set-up; it assumes (correctly) that you already know what The Avengers is all about, why Sam Jackson’s corralling a bunch of A-listers to his cause and who that pale, long-haired Shakespearean looking fellow is that’s tearing up the streets of America. Which means: Cut to the assembling, already! Let’s take a look. “What do we do?” “We get ready.” Oh, that Sam Jackson. Always prepared. In fact, the only nagging thing about this trailer, which I kind of love because of the aforementioned butt-shots, the fiery set pieces, and the sight of Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., and Scarlett Johansson looking bad ass in their spiffy costumes, is the strangely conspicuous verbiage this super-team throws around. “Assemble” is their battle cry? What are they, Voltron? Putting a puzzle together? Building IKEA furniture? “But it’s from the comics!” you say. Yeah, yeah. Well, it sounds funny. Also see the line, “”If we can’t protect the Earth, you can be damn sure we’ll avenge it,” spoken by a serious RDJ, in contrast to the rampage of witty one-liners he’s on during the rest of the trailer. Of course you will. You’re the Avengers. Verdict: I’m nitpicking. This looks pretty badass, and who am I kidding? They had me at [explosion]. [Apple]
