Sideshow: At 80, Clive Davis comes out as bi

Pop music recording industry mogul Clive Davis is a bisexual American man. So the 80-year-old, Brooklyn-born, Harvard Law-educated Rock and Roll Hall of Famer says in a newly revised and expanded memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life, released on Tuesday.

Davis, revered for having discovered such artists as Janis Joplin, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, and Alicia Keys, writes that after his second marriage ended in '85, he began dating men as well as women.

"I opened myself up to the possibility that I could have a relationship with a man," Davis on Tuesday told Katie Couric. "I'm still attracted to women. You don't have to be only one thing or another. For me, it's the person." Davis adds he has been in a "strong monogamous relationship" with a man for the last seven years.

Davis' memoir has added fuel to his little feud with Kelly Clarkson, who on Tuesday said Davis portrayed her inaccurately in the book. "I refuse to be bullied, and I just have to clear up his memory lapses," she wrote on her whosay.com page. She takes him to task for calling her '07 LP, My December, unsuccessful. The album "went platinum," she wrote. "Hardly a huge failure."
