Posted June 29, 200718 yr Kelly Clarkson's Agent Demanded $15 Million Advance It's always about money, isn't it? The Kelly Clarkson saga at RCA Records continues, even as the "American Idol" winner's "My December" album looks poised for a No. 1 or No. 2 debut next week with up to 320,000 copies sold. When we first reported that Kelly had fired manager Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm, it was because he had allegedly made himself the bad guy in an ongoing feud between Clarkson and RCA. Now, sources tell me that Kwatinetz actually demanded a $15 million advance for Clarkson from RCA last summer. That was the beginning of the bad blood, since the singer was turning in an album the label didn't like. Kwatinetz, I am told, was soundly rebuffed. Clarkson received a much more reasonable $1.5 million advance. RCA has put more money into the project, even though we all know that Clive Davis does not approve of "My December."
