Since U Been Drinking

On Wednesday night, Kelly Clarkson was at a club on the Sunset Strip. And, from the looks of it, she was very, very drunk--on Chivas out of the bottle, which only proves my point that she is indeed ready to become the future second Mrs. Wilonsky. Till then, here she...

On Wednesday night, Kelly Clarkson was at a club on the Sunset Strip. And, from the looks of it, she was very, very drunk--on Chivas out of the bottle, which only proves my point that she is indeed ready to become the future second Mrs. Wilonsky. Till then, here she is on a stage with Yellowcard singer Ryan Key and a band called Metal Skool, a cock-rock-hair-metal cover band that pretends it's all just a screw-off giggle but can't hide the fact it takes this stuff very, very seriously. The Guns N' Roses cover performed here is pretty awesome; there just isn't enough of it. (This video's 10 minutes, but I wish it would last...forever.) But the video does prove two things: Clarkson really ought to cut a hard-rock record, and she really needs to check for what appears to be an entire team of cinematographers whenever she chooses to get wasted and hop on a stage with Whitesnake wannabes. She's "makin' her image more fuckin' edgy, bro." If we were ESPN, we would deem this an instant classic. --Robert Wilonsky
