For her latest “Kellyoke” cover to open her daytime talk show, Kelly Clarkson dusted off an old classic that’s older than she is: “Vincent Starry, Starry Night)”, from Don McLean’s American Pie album.

She’s taking it “Piece by Piece”! Kelly Clarkson is giving her talk show a makeover.

Kelly Clarkson, 39, is one of the biggest household names but that hasn’t stopped her from going through with legally changing her name. The American Idol star has dropped her last name, as confirmed in docs obtained by Page Six. “There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted,” the docs read. “The Decree is signed and filed. The Petitioner’s name is changed from KELLY BRIANNE CLARKSON to KELLY BRIANNE.”

New name, new outlook on life. Kelly Clarkson has legally changed her name to Kelly Brianne, Us Weekly confirms.

Anne Hathaway could moonlight as a karaoke lounge singer if the acting thing fizzles out. The "WeCrashed" star, 39, proved her pipes when she made an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" Tuesday and beat the "American Idol" winner at her own game of "Sing That Name That Tune" by performing part of one of Clarkson’s big hits. It all started when Hathaway jumped out to a 3-0 lead on Clarkson and the talk show host hilariously tried to get Matt Iseman and her band to "play a fricking song I'll know." On came Clarkson’s 2004 smash "Since U Been Gone." Within seconds, Hathaway stepped up to the center podium and let her voice rip, singing the song’s chorus to the live studio audience.

Kelly Clarkson has set the record straight on the news that she planned to change her name. The singer had reportedly filed documents in February to legally change her name, 20 years after she first found fame on American Idol. PHOTOS: Inside Kelly Clarkson's jaw-dropping $5.4m LA mega-mansion She has been requesting to be known legally as Kelly Brianne, her first and middle names.

Change of plans: Kelly Clarkson, 39, won’t be changing her name now that she’s divorced from Brandon Blackstock, 45. The “Stronger” hitmaker petitioned in February court documents to change her name to Kelly Brianne (Brianne’s her middle name). But on March 21, Kelly revealed to PEOPLE (the TV Show!) that she’s still going by “Kelly Clarkson” — at least in her professional life.

Kelly Clarkson and Anne Hathaway faced off in a singing competition, and the outcome was very unexpected. On the March 22 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the two stars played a game of “Sing That Name That Tune” hosted by Matt Iseman. Kelly, 39, and Anne, 39, stood on opposing platforms as the beginning tune of a song would play, and once they recognized the song, they would step out on the platform and sing the lyrics. Well, after Anne beat Kelly in the first three rounds, the American Idol champion was frustrated things weren’t going her way.

Kelly Clarkson is setting the record straight.

Still Miss Independent — and Miss Clarkson! Kelly Clarkson spoke out after Us Weekly obtained documents requesting her legal name change to “Kelly Brianne,” noting her professional name isn’t going anywhere.
