Host Ryan Seacrest briefly mentioned season one winner Kelly Clarkson on Tuesday's two-hour episode of "American Idol." Kelly (similar to a few of this season's contestants) didn't receive much attention early in the A.I. competition. Yet she scored the top prize. Kelly's involvement in the Salvation Army's Red Kettle campaign raised $118 million dollars last year. A new record! BTW: My personal feelings for Kelly Clarkson haven't changed. I still love and respect Miss Clarkson. I want Kelly, her family, friends, and loyal fans to be "happy and healthy." That's my special prayer.
