Tony Hawk admits there’s a Kelly Clarkson song he listens to in order to pump him up and get his head in the game. During an interview, to be honest interview via Men’s Journal, Hawk admits that the song “Since U Been Gone” is the song Hey and his team would use when they didn’t pull off a new trick properly. However, turning on that song would “almost always help,” he said, admitting, “It became a hymn to our ramp for a while.”
“If you tried something and you didn’t succeed, someone would put it in place to show you off, and it almost always worked,” he added. While he is clearly a fan of this song, he also revealed the A-list celebrity he is quite a fan of. Jack Black is a fan favorite in general, but when the pro skateboarder found out that the actor was an avid skateboarder himself, he became a huge fan.
“When I found out he was really a hardcore skateboarder in the mid-80s, it was a shock,” he told the outlet. “Let’s put it this way, he skated Upland Pipeline. There is a very small fraction of the population that even knows what Upland Pipeline is, let alone skating there.
Clarkson, who won American Idol Season 1 in 2002 at just 20, recently admitted to Kevin Hart while he was a guest on his new show, Hart to Heart, that she and her members of the cast thought it was a “joke” and weren’t sure how long the show would actually last. “I mean, we didn’t think it was going to come from anything. Like, we were the first season of American Idol. So we were there for that paycheck that [SAG-AFTRA] gives you, to pay some bills, ”she admitted. “No one knew that anything was actually happening. That’s what everyone hopes for, but it usually doesn’t happen. ”
After Clarkson’s big win, she won three Grammys and now has her own show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. She admitted that back in the days when she was on the hit reality TV competition series, they didn’t have all the luxuries they have now for those who compete. She noted that she and her competitors were dropped off at the mall and asked to choose outfits for national television, when they now have stylists. While unsure when it was when all would go after her victory, she said how “grateful” she was for the opportunity.
