This is so ridiculous.
It's not the job of a pop star to prevent people from smoking. Educating people about tabacco and its effects is their government's job.
Aside from the fact that they're sponsoring her concert. She's not endorsing their product. Big difference. She's never been seen smoking. Isn't using the product actually supporting it?
I think that she's handling it well. It's not fair to her or her fans to cancel her show. And I hope she makes a comment at the show and tells people to not smoke because it's not good for them. I can so see her doing it.

...this is so fucking ridiculous, LMAO. I seriously cannot at that website. Of course my comment won't get approved, as it was #TeamKelly. I hate that it says 'we want to make sure she cares about her fans!!1!' Caring about her true fans would be to go on with the concert as scheduled, so people who have been waiting years to see her finally get to. SMH.

I know I shouldn't fan the flames, but my comment said: "Because of you, Kelly: I want Cigs, Cigs, Cigs Cigs, Cigs, Cigs, Cigs I I I I I I I want cigs." It is ridiculous though. It'll blow over by tomorrow.

I just wanted to add that Narvel Blackstock is a fucking incompetent idiot. He could have easily killed this right when it started and issued a statement on Kelly's behalf. Then this dumb mess wouldn't have started to begin with.

No doubt the local paparazzi will be harrassing her given the "controversy" of the her show and given that her concert has been formally "banned"....just RIDICULOUS !

I know Kelly is very happy with him, but I don't think Narval is all that good of a manager. The Firm weere the sh*t!

LOL, I can't at how over dramatic this one is. "Sponsoring tobacco is like sponsoring premature death. Promoting something this addicting and deadly is essentially saying "Hey! buy this product. while your at it, don't stop buying it 'til your a rotting oatmeal head in some hospital room and your heart is slowly, painfully decaying and your LUNGS are losing function. But its ok, Cause its fun right now!" Just don't do it and save yourself the afterthought." Fucking Zack from Ben Wheeler, Texas.

Look at what this b**ch said on Facebook:
Karen McLean Kelly - all you ever wanted was to grow up. Time to act responsibly and get rid of the tobacco industry role in your life. You can do it -- and you do not want to let your career and all your fans be poisoned by them!
Gorl please.

I can so see her doing it. I think it's been made pretty clear that tobacco is ingrained into their culture. One of the issues that were brought up is that she could change the lives of SoOoOoO many kids if she didn't go with the concert as if their entire decision whether or not to smoke was solely decided on Kelly's ad. It is so ridiculous how much pressure some of the people have put on her (These kids are depending on you, Kelly, to do the right thing.)It's the PARENT'S responsibility to take care of the kids, not some celebrity or supposed role model they find on TV. People who start smoking pick it up from others that they know, not from people they see on the media. What's even more ridiculous is that Kelly doesn't even smoke. It seems they're just picking on her because it is so convenient for their agenda. They don't even take in consideration that as simple as it sounds, she can't just cancel on the concert. As far as Kelly's response, for a lose-lose situation, she handled it pretty damn well. It's stupid that all these advocate groups are targeting Kelly when really she has had no hand in contributing to their problems. People are f**king ridiculous.

Paris takes a bite out of a Hardees hamburger but that's not promoting obesity. Britney smokes cigs but that's not promoting smoking. Madonna puts out a sex book but that's not promoting promiscuity.
Yet a sponsor that wasn't properly researched uses a KC picture in billboards and suddenly she's promoting smoking.
It sucks even more because KC is a super sweet girl and when something happens to her, it really bothers me.
I also was concerned about her safety. And maybe next time, her management will do some due diligence before accepting where the money comes from. I hope there's nothing sketch going on that hasn't been disclosed yet.

The Cigarette Scandal is on Showbiz Tonight.
Basically they said they were outraged at Kelly Clarkson over her connection to cigarettes.
They showed the Billboard. They did say she claims she didn't know. They said she should demand that the ads be pulled, like Alicia Keyes.
They did report on her blog.
They think she should perform but that she should be very public in putting down cigs and demand another sponsor and get rid of the Cig Company.

This kind of phony controversy and fake outrage is usually reserved for politicians.

(JG Photo) Controversial Clarkson Sponsorship Deal ExtinguishedThere is unlikely to be any post coital cigarette smoking after it was announced on Thursday that the brief yet fiery relationship between US Singer Kelly Clarkson and an Indonesian tobacco company had been stubbed out. Adrie Subono, CEO of music promoter JAVA Musikindo, told the Jakarta Globe that it had severed its relationship with PT Djarum and its brand LA Lights and confirmed the concert on April 29 would go ahead without “its main sponsor.” Adrie said all offending billboards and other promotional material featuring Clarkson and LA Lights had been removed. He did not say how much the move was likely to cost the company. “This is Java’s commitment to Clarkson and her fans,” he said, adding that the company had done everything according to the correct procedures. Clarkson’s upcoming concert at the Senayan Indoor Tennis Stadium on April 29 became the focus of criticism after it became clear that Djarum were backing it. Huge billboards promoting the concert feature the Grammy Award winner — who shot to fame after winning the first season of American Idol — with a logo of the LA Lights cigarettes just above her head. Muhammadiyah, the country’s second-largest Islamic group with about 30 million members, has declared smoking haram, or forbidden under Islam. It said all things related to smoking — including the concert — were also forbidden. “We do not need to put out another fatwa [religious edict] on a thing that is already clear,” Yunahar Ilyas, who heads Muhammadiyah’s fatwa department, told the Jakarta Globe. Even the Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI), which considers smoking undesirable but not forbidden, says young people would be wise to avoid the concert that was certain to be used to promote the habit. Writing on blog.kellyclarkson.com, the artist said she had no idea that PT Djarum brand L.A. Lights was sponsoring her Jakarta concert. I was not made aware of this and am in no way an advocate or an ambassador for youth smoking. I’m not even a smoker, nor have I ever been.” She said she was going ahead with the concert because of her fans.

WHEW, thanks for posting that! I was getting nervous about the reception she would get and the security around her. Hopefully this will satisfy the people that are freaking out about it and hopefully the world press will pick this story up as quickly as they picked up the first one.
