Kelly Clarkson might not be a country music singer. But, the pop/rock singer has been invited to perform at the 44th Annual Country Music Association (CMA) Awards later this month because she recently recorded a song with Jason Aldean for his upcoming studio album "My Kinda Party".

While the upcoming performance will mark for the first time Clarkson sings at the prize-giving event, her duet with Aldean is not her first involvement in country music. She previously made a duet with Reba McEntire in "Because of You" and got nominated for Musical Event of the Year at the 2007 CMA Awards.

He told listeners of his U.S. radio show "Rollin' With Nick Cannon" he planned to buy some sensible shoes for Carey - and he headed out to the shops over the weekend to fulfill his vow.

Damon Albarn hates watching reality TV competitions such as "American Idol" and "The X Factor" - likening the contestants' audition process to animal slaughter. The Blur frontman has followed in the footsteps of Sir Elton John and New Order's Bernard Sumner to take aim at Simon Cowell's talent shows, insisting talented young wannabes who participate are "sanitised" by producers and stripped of their originality.

He tells Britain's The Sun, "It's not good because, though from time to time they may stumble across a beautiful voice, they put them through a food processor and make them fast food. A cow is definitely a more beautiful thing before it hits the hamburger factory."

Australian singer Peter Andre has been hailed a hero by a paralyzed fan who promised her idol she'd learn to walk again - and succeeded. Cat Hedger, 24, was left in a wheelchair after she had her drink spiked when she was just 19.

Funnyman Zach Galifianakis was verbally abused by a man dressed up as his oddball "The Hangover" character at Halloween - when he tried to thank the guy for honoring his creation.

He recalls, "I didn't really know anybody at the party; I went with a couple of people from work.

Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour is unimpressed with the state of the music industry, insisting modern singers fail to measure up to his icons Neil Young and Leonard Cohen. Guitarist Gilmour hates hearing the current crop of chart-toppers on the radio, and would much rather listen to tracks from his own era.

He tells Britain's Daily Express, "I keep waiting for someone who is as good as the old favorites I love, like Neil Young and Leonard Cohen, but I wait in vain - I can only live in hope." And Gilmour admits he's wary of digital downloads - because he's convinced the practice of releasing music through the internet will one day backfire.

"The Devil said 'I'll give you the world' 'I'll take it plus give me a girl/ Mister devil can you give a sign he said 'throw the rock up, that's one of mine'," the rapper-turned-preacher spits his verses. He becomes the hero at the end, blocking the devil and baptizing the Jigga impersonator.

Outspoken pop star Pink has urged parents to be tough on their troubled kids - because she would have died young if it hadn't been for her dad's hard justice. The "Trouble" singer fears political correctness has stripped modern parents of the ability to spank their children when they mess up and do wrong - and she feels that so many kids need a good smack from time to time to keep them on the right path.

Pink tells Access Hollywood, "I think parents need to beat the c**p outta their kids... I think the whole spanking thing and how it's gotten all PC (politically correct) is for the birds. (My dad) put me through a wall; it's the only reason I'm still alive."

I want to know who's the best for the job but I will ask, 'Is there a black person that is just as good?' when we're in the hiring process because it's very important to me that the kids, 19 and 20-year-old PAs (production assistants) running around, see it."

British actor Stephen Fry is adamant he doesn't deserve the furious backlash over a controversial new interview - because he was "misquoted" when he allegedly suggested the only women who enjoy sex "wish to be paid for it". The gay funnyman has been heavily criticized over a series of remarks which were printed in Britain's Attitude magazine, in which he reportedly claimed heterosexual women don't like having sex.

He told the publication, "If women liked sex as much as men, there would be straight cruising areas in the way there are gay cruising areas... It doesn't happen. Why? Because the only women you can have sex with like that wish to be paid for it."

After stealing dreams in "Inception", Leonardo DiCaprio will take people's lives in his upcoming movie. Deadline Hollywood reports that he nabs a serial killer role in "The Devil in the White City", a big screen adaptation of Erik Larson's 2003 nonfiction bestseller "Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America".

DiCaprio will portray Herman Webster Mudgett aka H. H. Holmes, a man who confessed to murdering 27 people - and may have killed as many as 200 - during the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. He used the fair to lure young women to his elaborately constructed "Murder Castle". Another pivotal role in the story is Daniel Burnham, the chief architect behind the fair that served to celebrate the nation's growth.

The much-anticipated music video for Rock Mafia's single "The Big Bang" has made its way out, featuring Miley Cyrus and Kevin Zegers. It captures "moments of sensuality" between them which are "juxtaposed against a mysterious car crash."

"The video is unique and honestly, was a life-changing experience," Miley told E! News. "This song means a lot to me." The clip is indeed full of plot twists. Miley and Kevin seem to be in some kind of relationship, but then she is gone after her vehicle is smashed by another car.

The relationship between Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller has apparently deteriorated since the infamous December 2009 incident where she called the police to report for domestic violence. On Monday, November 1, Sheen filed a divorce paper and he is seeking a joint physical and legal custody of their 1.5 year-old twins, Bob and Max.

In the filing as well, Sheen stated that his income made after the December arrest belongs to him alone and is not subject to community property laws. The actor, who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault, listed his income from "Two and a Half Men" in the last 10 months as his sole property while everything he made before their May 2008 marriage is counted as "separate property". Indeed, the couple signed a premarital agreement.
