Coming Distractions'Idol' wiles in Sacramento? Tour might be at Arco Arena in MarchBy David Barton -- Bee Staff Writer Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken might bring their joint tour to Arco Arena this spring. It has yet to be announced, but we're hearing through the grapevine that American Idols Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken will be performing together at Arco Arena on March 31.Clarkson was the winner of the first "American Idol" in 2002 and Aiken was the runner up in 2003 -- though he's gone on to have greater commercial success than the winner, Ruben Studdard.Aiken even won a Billboard award last month for having the best-selling single of 2003, "This Is the Night"/"Bridge Over Troubled Water."The tour has yet to be announced, even nationally, and neither singer's official Web site lists any dates (though Aiken's notes that he's due to tour in early 2004).But we're very confident in our source, who hasn't steered us wrong yet. We'll keep you posted on ticket prices and an on-sale date.
