"Kelly Clarkson has denied that she is pregnant and has offered an explanation as to why she and fianc\u00C3\u00A9 Brandon Blackstock are planning to elope. The &amp;#039;Tie It Up&amp;#039; singer announced this week that she and Blackstock have chosen to call off their elaborate wedding, in favour of an intimate ceremony.  Speculation about the couple&amp;#039;s relationship intensified days later when a radio station mistakenly reported that Clarkson was pregnant. Clarkson set the record straight in a message posted on her Twitter account on Thursday (August 22). &amp;quot;FYI ....Brandon &amp;amp; I are getting married &amp;amp; no I am not pregnant. We are eloping for one reason only. We both want an intimate ceremony,&amp;quot; she tweeted.  The American Idol winner explained earlier in the week that her and Blackstock&amp;#039;s busy schedules led them to opt for a smaller scale ceremony. &amp;quot;We are so busy that we finally just came to terms the other night and were like, &amp;#039;So, we change our minds and we want to elope&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; she said. Clarkson had previously commented that she was &amp;quot;so over&amp;quot; wedding planning.
