Kelly Clarkson was in in Australia this week to promote her new album Stronger, and Take 40 were lucky enough to sit down and chat with the gorgeous gal!

Kelly's latest single 'Mr. Know It All,' has been met with a huge response from Aussie fans and we were wondering what it was all about... has she dated a Mr. Know It All?

Kelly assured us that it's not about anyone specific, but more about general annoying people she might have worked with in the past.

"I've had a lot of man bashing songs..." she told Take 40, "(but) I'm actually very nice."

We also wanted to know whether she liked listening to her own music in those intimate moments... and her answer? Hmm not her own tunes exactly, but rather something heavily surprising!

Make sure you watch the full chat with Kelly below to hear what she said!

Kelly's new album Stronger is out on October 21st this year! Exciting!

Could our beloved Justin Bieber be scoring a guest role in our fave show?

'Gossip Girl' star Kelly Rutherford (who plays Lily Van Der Woodsen) says she would love to have Justin on the show!

"It would be great to have Justin on the show, it would be so much fun, we'd love to have him!" she said.

"I think he should perform. I think if he performed on the show it would be great. But I'm sure he's a great actor too so obviously whatever he wanted!"

Sounds like Kelly has a bit of Bieber Fever!

Kelly even brought her kids to New York Fashion Week to get a picture taken with Justin.

Totes jealous!

Meanwhile, Gossip Girl returns to TV in the US on September 26! Get your illegal downloads ready... what? We said nothing. Sssh.

There's no mistaking where she gets her fashion sense from – even if a mini dress, high heels and flaming red lipstick are not every mother’s idea of what their 14-year-old should wear.

But then Lourdes Leon is no ordinary teenager and Madonna is certainly no ordinary mother.

The singer was happy to let her daughter take the spotlight and the hosting duties as they celebrated the first birthday of their Material Girl clothing line at Macy’s department store in New York.

Looking far older than her years – and remarkably like her mother – Lourdes, nicknamed Lola, attended the party and fashion show
with Kelly Osbourne, daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne.

She took over as the label’s ‘muse’ after Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen was sacked for comparing its style to that of a ‘highclass hooker’.

When it comes to clothes for warmer weather, it’s shorts for spring that are all the rage for the girls. “I’m like obsessed with them,” said Lourdes.

While Osbourne pointed out the accessories. 'The shoes - there’s a pair of nude heels that I’m really obsessed with.

'There’s so much stuff in it that’s so me and what I wear. There’s a leopard dress that I get to wear next that I’m excited about. I love prints,' she told People Magazine.

The pair also mentioned the affordability of the brand.

'There’s not many other companies besides Material Girl that do clothes at an affordable price that are high fashion and [are] what people see in the magazines and can emulate themselves without having to go and spend $1000 on a dress, she said.

Kelly has also admitted to taking 'so much of my style from Madonna in the Eighties'.

But will have to be very careful about what she says as the clothes and the ad campaigns are aimed at teenagers.

Actor Arjun Rampal announced yesterday that the infamous Lady Gaga will be performing at the Formula One after party which will be hosted at the actor's club.
He told The Times of India: "Huge event for India to get a star of her calibre. She has one million Twitter fans and over 40 million Facebook fans. It's a great feeling to get an icon like her to perform at your club at your lounge. She is very excited to come to India and to perform here."
The Airtel Grand Prix of India will take place at the Buddh International Circuit on October 20th 2011.
Gaga will be performing on the 30th of October. And ticket prices are a whopping Rs.40,000.

Liza Minnelli cuts a tiny figure curled into an oversized chair in her riverside hotel suite. The fathomless black eyes are the only sign of animation in a face the colour of parchment.

She’s wearing silver, high-heeled pixie boots, black velvet trousers and a black hoodie with white skull-and-cross-bones appliquéd up each sleeve, the last thing, apparently, in current New York chic.

If she will forgive the observation, she looks like death warmed up. She smiles that crooked smile. ‘Listen honey, I’m not jet-lagged,’ she says, pulling on an ever-present Marlboro Lite. ‘I’m jet-thumped. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going.’

Ten days ago, she left New York with her lifelong friend Rock (son of Yul) Brynner for Vladivostok where he was tracing his lineage. ‘We’ve known each other since we were five. He’s the first boy I ever kissed.’

She then flew to London (via Korea) to perform at the White Rose Ball this Sunday in aid of the Holocaust Centre in Nottingham. ‘The more we educate young people about the terrible things that happened,’ says Liza, ‘the less likely they could ever happen again.’

At 65, the woman is unstoppable. Four marriages, two hip replacements, one new knee, a near-fatal bout of viral encephalitis, Liza has survived them all. ‘I’ve been down,’ she says, at one point, ‘but I’ve never been out.’

Unlike her mother Judy Garland, who died in London in 1969, awash with booze and pills, aged 47 — and about whom she is ‘bored, bored, bored’ of talking.

But while we’re — briefly — on the subject, she does let slip a sweet, rather revealing tale about Judy.

As a child, she’d wait in the wings at Garland’s concerts, a trembling cup of tea in her hand to deliver to her mother when the final curtain fell.

‘One day, I said to her: “Mama, why are you always so sad when you sing Over The Rainbow?” She looked at me. “It’s what they want,” she said. “Now let’s go get a hamburger.” Forget anything you’ve read. That’s how I remember her. That’s my reality.’

LeAnn Rimes knows that public scrutiny comes with the territory of her chosen profession. She just wishes all the fodder about her, whether good or bad, was actually about her profession! "Time to move on," the Grammy winner laments to The Boot, referring to the much-publicized drama surrounding the demise of her first marriage and start of her relationship with new husband, Eddie Cibrian. The 29-year-old songbird isn't avoiding blame for the controversial timing of her romance with the actor, she's just ready for her music to be more publicly prominent than her personal life.

'Lady and Gentlemen' may accomplish just that. That's the title of LeAnn's brand-new album, out today (Sept. 27), mostly comprised of tunes originally recorded by men -- some of the greatest men in country music history, including George Jones, Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson -- to whom she has looked up throughout her own 15-year career. The cover songs span from the 1946 classic, 'Sixteen Tons,' to 1989's 'When I Call Your Name,' by the project's co-producer, Vince Gill. LeAnn also reflects her own personality with two very different original tracks: the sassy, clever 'Crazy Women,' and the thought-provoking 'Give.'

The Boot chats with LeAnn about finding courage to put her own spin on some of the most beloved country songs of all time. The svelte star also gets very candid with us about her annoyance with the tabloids shifting from her philandering to her physique. And we get to the bottom of all those 'Playboy' rumors.

The actress had to take up the instrument for one of her roles. She’s always loved music so looked forward to strumming the strings – before she realised how tough she’d find mastering it.

“I love seeing live bands with my friends – I like everything from classic to country to rock. The last album I downloaded was The Strokes. I’m learning the guitar for my next role and it’s given me a new respect for musicians as it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she laughed.

Jessica has appeared in several TV shows and movies but is best known for her portrayal of Vanessa Abrams on Gossip Girl.

She still can’t believe she ever landed the part, particularly as it came about in such an unexpected way.

“I had just thrown on some denim shorts, a T-shirt and flip-flops [to go to my friend’s barbeque] and had my dog with me. It was a nice, chilled, day, but my agent phoned the next day and asked if I’d been at a BBQ, as an executive producer from Gossip Girl had called and wanted to know more about me,” she recalled to InStyle. “The next think I knew I was on my way to Warner Bros. in New York to start filming.”
