Kelly Clarkson on her soul album: ‘I’ve wanted to make this record since I was in junior high’ – Is that why you signed with Atlantic?
Yeah! They just had this stellar, soulful, more urban vibe, and that’s really what I was looking for. And they’re down with me making a country record one day. Because basically country and R&B are cousins. [Atlantic] is just really into me being an artist and doing different things. We don’t need to hear “Stronger” again, or “Since You’ve Been Gone.” It’s time for something else. We’re about to go to L.A. to do a big recording-writing session. It’s so much fun, because it’s like I’m a brand new artist again. – Read more at Entertainment Weekly
X Factor judge Adam Lambert set to party while in Sydney – WHEN Adam Lambert returns to Sydney for the X Factor live shows, the sometimes Queen frontman’s connections in the Emerald City guarantee he won’t be lonely or bored.

The unlikely duo were snapped together several times, with social media images of them lying in bed while taking a selfie and posing together.

Cheryl Burke: ‘DWTS’ partner Ryan Lochte is ‘prepared for the worst’ – “I always like to have a dance partner who is going through change or controversy, because I like to be able to affect their life more than just teaching them how to dance,” says Burke, who during her hiatus from “Dancing With the Stars” created and directed a stage show in Japan called “Love on the Floor” and competed on the short-lived NBC reality show “I Can Do That.” “So with Ryan, before I met him, I was like, ‘Hopefully, he’s a great guy – because I would love to change people’s perception.’ ” – Read more at Charlotte Observer
Dancing’s Derek Hough: I Was Not Upset with Marilu – We may not have gotten immunity, but I thought the tango was Marilu’s best dance so far! She’s been improving every week and I thought she looked fantastic and very impressive. I want to clear the air about something: I know Marilu said in the clip on the results show that she thought I was upset with her, but I wasn’t. I wasn’t upset with her or about the scores. “Upset” is the wrong word. I was just bummed out because I just knew she could perform it better. Our dress rehearsal was better. I’m with her when she does it fantastically. I just want everyone to see that. I’m not disappointed in her. I’m not upset with her. I’m proud of her. I just want people to see how great she is. She loves the show so much and I want her to look her absolute best. – Read more at TV Guide
