No, Kelly Clarkson DOESN’T Want To Be Called Kelly Brianne -- What's REALLY Going On With Her Legal Name Change

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

It's official! Kelly Clarkson is no longer Kelly Clarkson. The "Voice" coach and talk show host was granted a legal name change in Los Angeles Superior Court this week. Documents obtained by Fox News Digital confirm Kelly has dropped Clarkson as her last name.

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.”

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.
