Idol fan auctions off American Idol, Kelly Clarkson's, water bottle after recovering it at a recent concert. Kelly Clarkson fans have two more days to bid on a one and only item being auctioned off on e-bay. The anonymous seller from Ames, Iowa is hoping to cash in on a used water bottle from Clarkson's concert in Omaha. "I am auctioning off (1) 16. 9 fluid ounce bottle of Dasani bottled water that Kelly Clarkson drank out of during her concert on April 2. . . . Do you want to own some Kelly Clarkson DNA, then this is your chance," says the seller. The prized water bottle was obtained by the unknown fan thanks to a seat in row 1 at Clarkson's show, giving him, or her, the perfect opportunity to snag the bottle. The best part - there's still water in it, so fans can share a drink with their favorite Idol star. Unfortunately, Idol-goers don't seem to see the value - with just two days left there's been only three bids, reaching a total of $20. 50.
