Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Kelly Clarkson announced a new “All I Ever Wanted” tour Tuesday, complete with 30-plus show dates from October through December.

It appears the closest the tour will come is Atlantic City, N.J., (Oct. 9) and Fairfax, Va., (Oct. 10). Opening for Kelly will be The Veronicas and Parachute.

Of course, local Kelly fans don’t have to travel nearly that far to see Kelly live. She’s in the middle of a summer fair tour that will bring her to York on Friday, Sept. 11, which happens to be the opening night of the York Fair.

Here’s a link to ticket information for that concert. And here’s a link to a complete list of the “All I Ever Wanted” tour dates.

Another new announcement regarding Kelly: Less than a week after the York Fair appearance, she’s scheduled to perform on “VH1 Divas.” which is being revived after a four-year hiatus.

Starring alongside Kelly will be Adele, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus. You can go here to learn more about the show, which will air 9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17.
