ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey — (PRESS RELEASE) — Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort and Live Nation present Kelly Clarkson in the Mark G. Etess Arena on Sunday, January 15 at 7:30pm.

Clarkson first appeared on the public’s radar in 2002 when she won the first season of American Idol. Since then Kelly has become an international pop icon, selling over 20 million albums worldwide and notching seven singles on the Top 10, Billboard Hot 100 chart, including “Miss Independent,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Walk Away,” “Never Again,” and “Mr. Know It All” from her latest album, ‘Stronger.’

When developing ‘Stronger’, Clarkson was influenced by Tina Turner, Prince, Sheryl Crow, and Radiohead. “The whole album is very much about strength and empowerment, so ‘Stronger’ felt like the perfect title,” Clarkson says. “Plus the title song “Stronger” is just a gold mine — it’s a little bit pop, a little bit pop-rock, a little bit urban, a little bit dance, and it ties everything in. And everybody loves that message. ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ It’s a perfect representation of my life.”

I appologise about the delay in the caps for What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger) music video, we had a minor issue with the site, firstly we needed more space, and for some reason I couldn’t get stuff to dlete or change on the site.  But anyhow it is all fixed now, I will get them up tomorrow, I’m a little exhausted from Christmas.

Which leads me onto this, Merry Christmas to everyone, I hope you all stay safe, and you all have a blast.  I say stay safe because road fatalities are so high in the Christmas season, if you are traveling anywhere, please take care, we cannot make another you.

Kelly brought the heat last night with the best of the best on VH1’s Divas. Kelly opened the show with Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige performing a rendition of their hit singles, as well as a performance of her new single “(Stronger) What Doesn’t Kill You”. Kelly also teamed up with Ledisi for their version of “Chain Of Fools”. Check out Kelly on the red carpet here and watch the full performances below!

I will be capping this as soon as I get back from Christmas shopping.  Sorry for the halt again on updates, I have spent the last feew weeks helping my family clean out my grandmas house, so it’s been an emotional time, for those who don’t know my grandma passed unexpectedly in late August.  It’s closure though, I did get a beautiful crystal duchess set, I have something to remember her by.  2012 is a new year, and hopefully I won’t have any more interruptions.

SNL and NBC released their 2012 schedule:

Saturday Night Live celebrates the new year starting off January 7 with Charles Barkley and Kelly Clarkson returning to studio 8H.

Barkley, returning for his third hosting appearance, played basketball for sixteen seasons in the NBA, is an eleven time NBA All Star, an NBA Most Valuable Player, a two-time Olympic gold medal winner with Team USA Basketball, one of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players in History, and a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame. Barkley is about to begin his twelfth year as a studio analyst for the Emmy Award-winning “Inside the NBA” on TNT and his second year in studio for the NCAA’s “March Madness” college basketball tournament coverage on CBS and TNT. Barkley has written four books.

Returning for her third appearance as musical guest, Clarkson recently released her fifth studio album, “Stronger,” which includes the Billboard chart-topper “Mr. Know It All.” Since bursting onto the music scene 10 years ago, Kelly Clarkson has released 5 studio albums, sold over 20 million albums worldwide, 10 million albums in the US and has had 7 singles in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. She is the recipient of 2 Grammy Awards, 4 American Music Awards, 3 MTV Awards and 12 Billboard Awards.

MTV.com’s POSTED Artist for November Kelly Clarkson has already offered fans tons of insider info. We’ve learned about her favorite song from her new album, Stronger, and we even got some scoop on potential career aspirations. Now we get the ultimate lowdown with a sneak at her new “VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul” photo. She’s also letting us in on some of her favorite movies — Hint: They’re comedies. Because she’s the best.

First up, let Kelly Clarkson in a sequined tank get you revved up for “VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul” (as only sequins can). The event pays homage to soul music, and judging by the gorgeousness of Clarkson’s pic, we can expect an equally stunning performance. The evening also includes powerful performances from Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott and Florence + The Machine. “VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul” airs Dec. 19 at 9 p.m. ET on VH1.

Next up, a video clip has Kelly dishing on where she gets her sense of humor — from hilarious movies! “I always quote ‘Dumb & Dumber’… that and ‘Talladega Nights’!” The singer giggles through some of her favorite movie moments, and fans even get a few reenactments of the movies’ most quotable lines (hilarious gestures, free of charge). She insists that her impersonations don’t do the flicks justice, but we beg to disagree.

‘I’ve been trying to sing with her for a while,’ Clarkson tells MTV News.

Kelly Clarkson doesn’t mind a little friendly competition.

The former “American Idol” winner recently told MTV News she didn’t care if Coldplay “killed” her on the Billboard albums chart (her latest, Stronger, came in second, selling 163,000 to Mylo Xyloto’s 447,000). Clarkson might not give a second thought to chart placement, but what does she think about all these other pop divas who have taken over the airwaves?

“I always think it’s healthy to have a lot of stuff out there, and there’s room for everybody, because everybody is so different, especially all the women right now in the industry,” Clarkson told MTV News. “We’re all very different from each other, which I think is good. It keeps it not boring.”

We have to agree: The “Mr. Know It All” singer is anything but boring, recently telling the U.K.’s Guardian: “I want to punch Adele in the face! She is just too good.”

Of course, she was kidding. “That’s a term of endearment for me,” Clarkson laughed. “I think maybe overseas that didn’t read well. I meant more to be funny. She’s just so talented; she’s just so ridiculous it’s upsetting.”

Adele — who, like Clarkson, is known for her emotional songs about love and heartbreak — is set to undergo surgery to treat her vocal issues, but when she recovers, we have an idea who might want to work with her.

“I’m stalking her currently through interviews. Every interview, they are like, ‘Who do you want to work with?’ ‘Adele! I want to do a duet with Adele!’ ” Clarkson said. “I’ve been stalking her since we did ‘[VH1] Divas’ together, actually, and we were supposed to sing together, and then they changed the concept to where we would sing with somebody from a different generation. That was actually really cool, because I got to sing with Melissa Etheridge, and she’s amazing. That wasn’t like a letdown or anything, but I’ve been trying to sing with [Adele] for a while.”

Clarkson will be returning to the “VH1 Divas” alongside Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, Florence and the Machine, Jessie J and Jennifer Hudson.

“I always think competition is healthy, it’s good. Even, like, Jennifer Hudson — let’s say that people that are fans of her don’t know me very well; they’ll tune into ‘VH1 Divas’ or something and be like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know I’d like her,’ ” Clarkson said.

“VH1 Divas” premieres December 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
