“I feel like we weren’t dating during the movie. But I feel like maybe we did. We did date a little bit,” Kelly continued.
Kelly explained that their crazy pre- and post-“Idol” lives led to their brief romance.
“I think any two people who are thrown together that much [would eventually date]. ‘Timeless,’ you put that song on from ‘From Justin to Kelly’ – you can’t fight it!” she explained.

During the show’s “Plead The Fifth” segment, Andy also asked Kelly, “Would you still liken Miley Cyrus’ singing to a ‘pitchy stripper,'” referring to a past Tweet from Kelly.
“I never said Miley Cyrus! The fact that I Tweeted ‘pitchy stripper’ and people thought Miley Cyrus is not my problem. I’m just saying!” Kelly was quick to say. “I never said Miley Cyrus! Everybody else said Miley Cyrus when I did that. That’s not my fault!”
