Happy Cinco de Mayo, KC Fans! Kelly Clarkson is featured twice in the latest issue of "OK! Weekly" magazine (pgs. 14 & 43). Miss Clarkson admits to not using deodorant as a teenager and her nickname was "Smelly Kelly" (pg. 14). "OK! Weekly" magazine also reports Kelly's waistline as thirty-one inches (pg. 43). For the record: I love Kelly's angelic white dress (from the "Teen Choice Awards"). She's a very beautiful woman! Last Friday, I finally joined Kelly's official fan club on www.kellyclarkson.com. I couldn't resist the low sales price of $19.99. What a bargain!

Over the weekend, I heard Kelly Clarkson's ballad "Because of You" on Koit 96.5 F.M. In addtion, I watched the Christian rock band The Afters on the Gospel Music Channel's "Front Row Live." My favorite Afters song is "Until The World" (from the short-lived ABC Family Channel series "Beautiful People"). Yesterday, I bought four DVDs (on sale) at Circuit City: The gritty crime drama "Training Day," the heavenly romance "What Dreams May Come," the spiritual romantic drama "City of Angels," and the cat & mouse thriller "The Red Dragon." All excellent films!

Thanks for reading my May 5th blog. Have a celebratory Cinco de Mayo, KC fans! I'm Mexican (on my mom's side). Therefore, I do observe the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo. Until Tuesday. Peace.

P.S. I noticed Kelly Clarkson's "blessed" tattoo (on the back of her neck) in the new double issue of "People Weekly" magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People.
