Finally, Kelly Clarkson’s Fifth Album Will Drop This Fall

After several leaks and delays, Kelly Clarkson‘s fifth album will finally be released, and soon!

Titled, Stronger, the album will drop October 25, preceded by the single Mr. Know It All which debut via a live webcast with fans August 30 through Kelly’s website. The song will then hit the airwaves September 5.

The album was originally slated for a late 2010 release, but got several push backs. Last month, three of the album’s songs leaked, including Forgive You and Dumb + Dumb = You just a week after another new tune, Let Me Down had surfaced online.
Clarkson is super excited about the long-anticipated release. She posted a note on her blog saying, “Can’t wait for y’all to hear the new single! The band and I are really excited and currently gearing up for this record! It’s gonna be a fun record to tour!”

Before the above note, the first American Idol winner has been excitedly and frustratingly Tweeting about the album release for a while. She wrote: “Just found out my single is hitting radio in August!” She also tweeted: “Woohoo! It sounds great as well! Can’t wait for y’all to hear it!” An hour later, Clarkson had to retract: “Okay please do not get angry but it might be September for my single.” Then again, “My calendar was messed up! I’m so sorry! BUT it might be late August! It’s a huge bummer waiting but I promise it’ll be worth it! Stupid technology!!”

Kelly Preston Says Scientology Helped Her Cope With Loss Of Son

Kelly Preston and husband John Travolta suffered an excruciating loss in January 2009 when their 15-year old son Jett passed away.

Kelly is now speaking out in the latest issue of Health and says she got through the ordeal because of her belief in Scientology.

“To be honest, [it was] the Scientology center. I don’t know if I would have made it through without it.”

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

On substance abuse: 

“I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I’ve done all of that. And now, I live a really clean life.”

On giving herself advice: 

“Don’t sweat the small things. Love your kids like it could be the last moment.”

On youngest son Benjamin

“We [had been trying] for quite a few years…When I found out I was pregnant, I was floored. I’d snuck out of bed and then came back and woke Johnny up in bed. We both started crying. It was wonderful.”

On living with a pilot and having own landing strip: 

“I’ll be sitting there [at home] doing something really normal with the kids and then all of a sudden I hear, ‘Whoosh!’ and see the lights of the airplane and he’s like, ‘Honey, I’m home!’”

PHOTOS: Lauren Conrad Debuts Fashion Line For Kohl’s

The more you know, the more you Kohl’s may be a terrible motto, but Kohl’s can now lay claim to a beautiful celeb pushing her own cute line of clothing at the discount retail chain.

Former The Hills star, Lauren Conrad, is shown in these Kohl’s ads pimping her own line, LC by Lauren Conrad, which will be coming out in the fall.

Abercrombie & Fitch Offer Substantial Payment To The Situation To STOP Wearing Their Brand

BIZARRE BUT TRUE.

One of the perks of being a celebrity is to make crazy dough endorsing various products. From T-Mobile, to Coke, to Allstate Insurance, major companies seek out famous people to plug their products for the cool factor.

But not Abercrombie & Fitch. And not when it comes to the cast of Jersey Shore. Continue reading

Janet Jackson, Maroon 5 & Lady Antebellum Cancel Concerts After Stage Crash

The devastating tragedy which killed 5 people and injured dozens more at the Indiana State Fair before Sugarland’s performance has resulted in cancellation of shows at the same venue by Janet Jackson, Maroon 5 and Lady Antebellum.

Each performer made the cancellation announcement via their websites:

Lady Antebellum wrote: “As a result of the terrible tragedy that occurred at the Indiana State Fair on August 13th, several bands have made the difficult decision to cancel their shows. Lady A’s appearance, which was scheduled for August 19th will no longer be taking place. Ticket refunds will be honored by returning to the original point of purchase.”

Janet‘s site read, “Due to the recent tragedy at the Indiana State Fair, officials have canceled all of the concerts that were scheduled to take place on Wednesday, August 17th, including JANET.”

Maroon 5, who was scheduled to perform with Train, is relocating instead of completely canceling the concert. “All previously purchased Train and Maroon 5 tickets for the show at the Indiana State Fair will be honored at Conseco Fieldhouse on the night of the show…The Artists, Indiana State Fair and Conseco Fieldhouse will all donate the entire proceeds from the concert to the Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund.”

Salma Hayek Talks Skincare, Plastic Surgery

Salma Hayek may be one of the most beautiful women, not just in Hollywood, but in the entire world, and she wants us to know that she has not achieved her looks through plastic surgery.

Hayek spills her natural beauty secrets in the September issue of Allure which hits newsstands on Aug. 23.

In the mag, the beautiful 44 year-old actress says she knows a thing or two about slowing down the aging process. “I believe that every woman is entitled to fight to preserve her youth.”

But that doesn’t mean she thinks women should combat the aging process with plastic surgery.  “It’s like the uniform of a generation,” Hayek says about our tendency towards going under the knife. “And it’s not necessarily beautiful,” she says. “It’s not wrinkled-looking, but it’s not beautiful.”

Hayek says “I’ve never had anything done on my face. I’ve never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing.”

Hayek is launching a skincare line called “Nuance” which will be sold through CVS pharmacies.

“I’m [creating the line] with the philosophy that within you there is beauty, and you have to learn how to find it and enhance it in a natural way,” she says. “One thing that is exciting about being a woman is that you can rediscover your beauty over and over and over.”

There is one part on her body that Salma has not been able to keep as young as she’d like. “My boobs,” she says. “They’re not bad, by the way. I’m not complaining about them.”

Neither is anybody else, Salma.

Taylor Momsen Quits Acting

Taylor Momsen may have just turned 18 but she has just made a big life-changing decision: She is quitting her acting career.

The Pretty Reckless singer told Elle magazine that she has “quit acting” so she can solely focus on her music career:

“I quit Gossip Girl and now tour and am in a band. That’s pretty much all I want to do. Hopefully, I’ll be able to only do that for the rest of my life.”

Taylor continued: “[Music] is all I ever wanted to do with my life. I’ve dreamed of wanting to make records and tour, so it’s very exciting that our first record is coming out and people can actually hear it.”

Bachelor Pad’s Ames & Jackie Already Broken Up!

Ames Brown made us all leap in air in joy and laugh like giddy high school girls last night when he ditched his chances to win $250,000 on Bachelor Pad for love by running after a limo with his eliminated girlfriend Jackie Gordon inside.

A day later, our hopes of happily ever after for Ames and Jackie have been dashed into a thousand pieces. Today,  during a conference call with reporters, Ames and Jackie confirmed that the two are no longer a couple despite Ames’ stupendous gesture.

“We had a great time on the show and chose love over money in the competition,” Ames said. “We are not still dating, but we enjoyed every moment we had together.”

Their fairly tale romance sadly ended up being rather short-lived, as they dated for “a couple of weeks” before Ames broke things off at a surprise to Jackie.

“I personally was definitely shocked that it ended as it did,” Jackie said. “I was certainly not expecting that. I thought this was something that had the potential of forever, but you know, with every relationship, nothing is maybe exactly perfect.

“But it’s a hard pill to swallow when you find love, especially on a show like that where it’s so unusual, and it leaves you. It’s hard,” she stated.

So will a single Ames, the 31-year-old bachelor (from Ashley Hebert‘s season of The Bachlorette), make a good next Bachelor?

“It hasn’t been discussed or anything. So at this point, I don’t even know,” Ames said.
