More headaches for Kelly Clarkson today, as fans of the original American Idol are pretty pissed that the Burleson native canceled her Minnesota State Fair performance just two hours prior to her scheduled performance time, leaving fans who'd paid to enter the fair just to see her show feeling pretty gypped. It also, I guess, left them feeling the need to take to Twitter to bitch about it, as evidenced by this piece from Minnesota Public Radio, in which the station amassed the Twitter complaints against Clarkson's cancellation. (Hat tip.)

Still, good on Minnesota for even booking Clarkson to their fair, huh?
