Rock Dirt reports: Weeks after Good Charlotte
singer Joel Madden took a shot at 'American Idol' season one champ Kelly
Clarkson, his brother and bandmate Benji joined in on the attack. "I will
sum the last one up. I shouted out [My Chemical Romance], Fall Out Boy
and Taking Back Sunday and said reality shows suck," Benji wrote on the
band's blog. "My mom told me if I didn't have anything nice to say, don't
say anything at all. So I won't say 'Amercian Idol' sux, but it does make
me laugh when someone like Kelly Clarkson disses someone like Hilary Duff
[apparently referring to Clarkson's recent joking comment that she wanted
to start a beef with fellow Texans Duff and Beyonce Knowles], cause let's
not forget it, Kelly (BTW-Kanye West thinks you have a nice ass, I saw
him look at it one time) (me, I prefer the more fit look) anyways - you
were a 'contestant' on a TV show. Hilary made herself. [There is even more,
