Kelly Clarkson can't get other artists to collaborate with her...
Kelly Clarkson said in a recent radio interview she's starting to feel like she has "the plague" after several performers turned her down for possible collaborations.

"I honestly would collaborate with a lot of people, but everyone usually says no," the star reportedly told BBC Radio 1. "I'm not kidding you. I have legitimately asked several people that I'm not going to call out, and that's cool, but I don't know."

The 32-year-old went on to say that she's only asked "good people" to sing with her, including John Legend, who said yes.

"I don't want to sing with crap people, so I mean, I ask people who are great vocalists, but I'm not going to point out anyone. I have asked several people...Sometimes I feel like I have the plague, or leprosy, they're like, 'If you get too close...' I don't know."

"I feel like I'm a very nice person that you might want to sing with me...I can get country artists to sing with me and John Legend!" she added. "I'm gonna keep John Legend. He's super credible and talented. I feel very good about myself with that one."

Kelly released "Heartbeat," the first single from her forthcoming EP, Piece By Piece in January.


He's Just Not A Nice Guy!...
Dethroned cycling champion Lance Armstrong pleaded guilty to careless driving for hitting two parked cars on an icy street in Aspen, Colo., in December.

The incident took place Dec. 28 as Armstrong, 43, and his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, 33, drove home from a party.

Hansen initially took the blame for the crash, she said to keep his name out of the media. She eventually backtracked, admitting the cyclist was to blame for the incident.

Armstrong entered a guilty plea to careless driving by mail Friday. He paid $238.50 in court fees and a $150 fine. Hansen faced no charges for false report.

Armstrong's charge is punishable with jail time but Deputy District Attorney Andrea Bryan said it's uncommon.

Filmmaker Michael Cimino Addresses Sex Change Rumors...
Reclusive The Deer Hunter director Michael Cimino has broken his silence about reports suggesting he's transitioning into a woman, insisting the story is the latest "false" news written about him.

Cimino claims his anti-media stance, which has kept him out of the headlines for over a decade, often backfires and reporters run with tall tales and lies.

Asked about the reports regarding his sexuality in a rare interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmaker says, "There have been so many false things written about me by people who don't know me... I don't even want to go there, OK? I don't know what that bulls**t is all about. It's worse than a rumor, it's personal assassination."

"If you can't stop somebody from working and making movies that you hate, what's the next best thing? Destroy them personally... It's absurd. I don't want to really go into it. It's stupid how these things get going. But it seems to me that I am a fount of fodder."

"Because people don't see me around a lot, I'm the source of all sorts of rumor."

John Travolta To Star In New Action Film 'I Am Wrath'...
John Travolta will star in new action thriller I Am Wrath.

The 61-year-old actor will portray a man who seeks vigilante justice on his wife's killer after a group of corrupt police officers fail to catch the suspect. Nicolas Cage was previously considered for the project but never officially committed.

I Am Wrath is based on a story by French film editor Yvan Gauthier, with Chuck Russell (Eraser) as director and Michael Mendelsohn, Nick Vallelonga and Richard Salvatore as producers. Production will begin in Columbus, Ohio, in mid-March.

"This has a major Hollywood actor with lots of history," mayor Michael B. Coleman said in a statement. "And if we combine this film with other efforts and keep trying to go down this road, it can help be a catalyst for additional film and television opportunities."

Travolta last appeared with Robert De Niro in Killing Season, and is attached to portray O.J. Simpson defense attorney Robert Shapiro in new Ryan Murphy series American Crime Story. The actor will return as a presenter at the 2015 Academy Awards, despite his "Adele Dazeem" flub in 2014.


??? Guess Who ???

The rapper who has won the right to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Orange County, California?

It's Cypress Hill star B Real... recently took third prize for Best Sativa Flower in the Cannabis Cup in San Bernardino, California, has won the lottery for one of the county's available legal dispensaries.

He tells Billboard.com, "We were actually there when the ball was pulled and we were definitely excited. Out of 630 applicants to be in the top six of the first pull was very exciting for us. So we were extremely happy and optimistic towards how this is gonna all play out.

"We're in a unique position because we have a lot of history behind us as it relates to music and the pro-legalization movement. We want it to be a place where you can come get quality meds responsibly and all that stuff, but we want it to be an experience as well."
