Kelly Clarkson’s Divorce Is Officially Settled—Here’s How Much She’s Paying Her Ex-Husband

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.

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.
