Demi Lovato has revealed that she would love to duet with her “inspiration” Kelly Clarkson.

The 16-year-old ‘Sonny with a Chance’ actressed confessed that she had been a huge fan of the American Idol winner for years, and says she is her dream collaboration.

Speaking to Buzznet, Lovato said: “Kelly Clarkson… has been such an inspiration since I was ten years old.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Demi was asked if she cared about standing out from the crowd, to which she replied: “No… I want to be a good example for others and I’m glad that I stand out right now, because I’m trying to use my voice to make a difference in people’s lives.”

Lovato releases her second album ‘Here We Go Again’ on July 21.

Hmmm what do you all think of that, personally I’ve never actually listened to Demi.

I should’ve posted this earlier, like Thursday, but I’ve been on vacation, and I’m sorry to let you guys know so late! But Kelly is having a private concert Tuesday July 14 in NYC at the P.C. Richards & Son Theater in TriBeCa. There are various ways to enter.

• iHeartRadio – this is ongoing on both their Twitter and their Facebook. They contact you through private messages if you win. Go go go! My friend won two tickets through the Twitter contest, and she said its definitely worth it, so try it out! *note: There’s also a contest going on for the Jonas Brothers, so just look around for Kelly Clarkson information
• Radio Stations such as z100 and KTU are hosting various ways to win tickets. There are raffles, trade-ins, and auctions. The only way to get points is to play the various features of the site. I have to warn you that you have to be extremely dedicated for this – trying to wrack up enough points to get the tickets.

Again, this is a small, private concert. At maximum, only 200 people are allowed in. Good luck to all the players, and congratulations to all the winners!

Also, Kelly is set to appear as a guest on The David Letterman Show, the day before the aforementioned concert, Monday July 13th. It is a late night show, so it’s on at 11:30 PM. You can get tickets to this, but you’ll likely get it only if you’re a constant viewer of the show. Check out the website for more information!

I saw this when it was first released, and that was only a couple of hours ago. If you can’t tell already what this post is going to be about, it’s about Kelly’s new video for “Already Gone”. Check out the cover below:

It’s so gorgeous! And different from previous covers. As well as to the single cover above, there were also three new stills for the music video released, which you can click below.

Whoah! Ridiculously stunning! Can’t wait to see the actual video. What do you guys think?

American Idol alum Kelly Clarkson is getting ready to release “Already Gone,” the third single from her smash-hit album All I Ever Wanted, and images related to the release are starting to make their way onto the Web.

The cover for the single, which is expected to hit U.S. radio in August, depicts Kelly with a glittering teardrop on her cheek. Meanwhile, stills from the song’s video—which was shot by Joseph Kahn on June 20—have also emerged, revealing Clarkson pensively reclining on a couch while wearing a gown and necklace. Elegant!

Alternative titles to this post included: “So You Think You Can Dance: Books a Musical Guest Who Can Actually Sing,” “So You Think You Can Dance Musical Guest: With 100% Less Lip Syncing,” “So You Think You Can Dance: Keeping It In The Fox Family.”

Courtesy of a Fox press release we learn that this week’s musical guest will be Kelly Clarkson. Or as I like to call her, someone with actual musical talent. Sure, she was discovered by FOX’s other hit reality show, American Idol, which makes it seem a bit cross-promotional but there’s no denying: Kelly Clarkson can sing. Kelly will perform her new hit “I Do Not Hook Up” and hopefully, unlike the other musical guests this season, she will actually sing.

While Kelly will be this week’s musical guests, professional dancers Desmond Richardson and Patricia Hachey will perform a Pas de Deux as this week’s guest dancers. You may remember Desmond Richardson for the lovely Pas de Deux he choreographed for Katee Shean and Will Wingfield last season.

That’s set for this week guys!

Also, more news on Kelly’s new video. Joseph Kahn is the director, and its not known yet when the video will be premiered.

That could all change with her upcoming third single, “Already Gone,” written by Clarkson herself and produced by Ryan Tedder. While the song may resemble listeners of Beyonce’s “Halo” in the opening riff, what will overpower those comparisons is Clarkson’s likeability factor as well as heartbreaking lyrics. Tedder co-wrote both tracks. However, Clarkson had lyrically written her version while Beyonce barely had a hand in it after “demanding” a track like Clarkson’s. Kelly Clarkson’s penned song is a tear-jerking ballad with haunting vocals of having to leave someone. “Already Gone” sums up a previous relationship Clarkson had where it just couldn’t and wouldn’t work, no matter what road they took, someone of the two had to leave and it would be her. It had to be her more so because of her high profile career that prohibits her from making enough time for a relationship.
