Kelly Clarkson has babies on the brain.
The former American Idol winner, 31, and her newlywed husband, Brandon Blackstock, are hoping to add to their family — soon!
“I want babies!” the singer said during a radio interview with Valentine in the Morning on Wednesday. “Everybody keeps saying, ‘What do you want for Christmas?’ And I’m like, ‘I want to be pregnant.’ “
The People Like Us singer said her husband is “excited about all the [baby-making] practice,” she joked, adding that she wants two children “around the same age.”
Kelly is now a stepmother to Blackstock’s two children from a former marriage, Savannah and Seth.
“I honestly never ever used to want to want kids because I’m kind of selfish with my career, but going to soccer games with Seth and doing homework with Savannah — I just really love it y’all,” she gushed. “It’s so cool. It sounds so cheesy but it’s such a bigger point to life. I really lucked out with the whole kid situation. They’re amazing.”
In a previous interview, Kelly said, “My first child will be a girl—I know it in my soul.”
The couple were wed in an intimate Tennessee ceremony on October 20.

Bethenny Frankel picked up Bryn from school in New York City on Monday (October 28).
The talk show host wore a sleeveless top, black pants and blue heels. She was all smiles as she carried her daughter.
Bethenny – who is in the midst of a nasty divorce battle with her ex Jason Hoppy – has said she doesn’t blame reality television for their split.
View Slideshow »»“I don’t regret letting the cameras roll at all. I could have skated by. I could have stayed on the show and been like, ‘Oh, everything’s perfect with us. Everything’s great.’ It made me feel dirty for people to think that I had this perfect relationship and this perfect life.”
We’ve all been thrilled about his role on “Glee” this season, and it sounds like Adam Lambert is bringing his A-game.
The “Better Than I Know Myself” singer is featured on a cover of Lady Gaga’s single “Marry the Night” and his voice is flawless.
Lambert’s track is part of the forthcoming episode titled “A Katy or a Gaga,” slated to air on November 7th.
Adam is also pictured with Lea Michele, Naya Rivera, Kevin McHale, and Chord Overstreet in some new stills from the show. All in all, it’s going to be fabulous!

Pop superstar Pink is lashing out against her critics who have problems with her parenting skills.
Over the weekend, her motocross racer husband, Carey Hart, took the couple’s 2-year-old daughter Willow out for a motorcycle ride — and some people had a major issue with it.
“Been waiting for this day for a very long time,” the proud papa captioned the above photo collage via Instagram. “Willz went for her 1st ride on my motorcycle around the pits today.”
“She was pumped the whole time. When we stopped, she gave me a big hug and said it was fun, thank you Papa. That’s my girl,” he continued.
While this seems like a fun father-daughter bonding experience, some people slammed the couple for not putting a helmut on the tot.
“If any of u have more experience on a bike than my husband, then I will listen to your opinions on how he should take my daughter for a ride,” Pink defended her husband via Twitter. “I can’t promise I will care, but I will listen none the less.”
The conversation soon turned into a blunt exchange between Pink and her followers.
“Wait until she’s 16 and let her decide for herself. Bikes are no joke!” wrote one follower, which later added, “Yeah ok. I’ve never met you but that’s great.” Another fan said, “Honestly.. I wouldn’t like the idea of a child so young being on a bike.” Pink replied, “Then I don’t recommend it for your child.”
Pink ended the conversation with: “M’kay I’m gonna go now. Gotta figure out what wills is wearing tomorrow for her MANIACAL MOTO MANIA!!!!!! Gotta pack veggies too! Organic!”
What are your thoughts on the issue?
Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong and songstress Norah Jones have teamed up to cover the Everly Brothers. The two musicians will release Foreverly, a modern-day reworking of the Everly Brothers’ 1958 country folk covers album Songs Our Daddy Taught Us.
Back when Songs Our Daddy Taught Us was released, people and critics praised the album for its contemporary take on traditional ballads and country songs from singers like Gene Autry and Tex Ritter. This time around, Armstrong and Jones (both of who are big fans of the Everly Brothers) will be doing just the same. They will reinterpret the album’s 12 songs.
According to Billboard, Armstrong discovered the record a couple of years ago and fell in love with it right away.
“I was playing it every day and thought it would be a cool idea to re-do the record, but with a female singer. I thought of Norah because she can sing anything, from rock to jazz to blues, and I knew her harmonies would be amazing… she has a really good ear for arrangements.”
Jones also shared the same enthusiasm and praised Armstrong for his “low-key [and] open approach to the music.”
“He was very inviting. He wasn’t set in his ideas, which made it fun for us both to sort of discover what felt right for us, musically.”
Foreverly contains the same 12 songs as the 1958 original. Here is the track listing (which has since changed):
“Roving Gambler”
“Long Time Gone”
“Lightning Express”
“Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine”
“Down In The Willow Garden”
“Who’s Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet”
“Oh So Many Years”
“Barbara Allen”
“Rockin’ Alone (In An Old Rockin’ Chair”
“I’m Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail”
“Kentucky”
“Put My Little Shoes Away”

Go see Captain America this weekend! Support our Colin!
I went to the premiere on Tuesday and it was the coolest thing ever. First, the movie is AMAZING and Chris Evans is a superstar. Second, there were so many damn people there it was insane. I have been to movie premieres in New York before and they were nothing like this. I mean, they closed down Hollywood Boulevard. I would've taken photos to show you, but the invite said to leave phones in the car. But here's a photo of me in my cool Captain America 3D glasses:
(Sit down, stop jumping around, it's an awesome picture, I know. And the quality is amazing. It's not grainy or reddish... it's perfect.) (No, it's not.)
(And you can totally see the Captain America logo on the side of the glasses.) (No, you can't.)
Anyway, Captain America is pulling a strong 71% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes right now so GO SEE IT! IT'S FANTASTIC!

During band's rehearsal break for Sunday's Movie Awards, we put Foos to the test.
By Ryan J. Downey, with reporting by Jim Cantiello
<P><b>UNIVERSAL CITY, California</b> — Hard rock, heavy metal, hardcore and punk have long gone hand-in-hand with evil wizards, magic, vampires and werewolves. And with a collective sub-cultural pedigree that includes stints in the Germs, No Use for a Name, Sunny Day Real Estate, Scream and some band called Nirvana, you'd think the <a href="/music/artist/foo_fighters/artist.jhtml">Foo Fighters</a> — set to perform at Sunday's <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2011/">Movie Awards</a> — would know their "Potter" from their Zeppelin.

Read on — and click the video! — to see how the Foo Fighters fared when we caught up with them on the Universal Studios lot, shortly after they finished rehearsing their <a href="/news/articles/1664297/foo-fighters-mtv-movie-awards.jhtml">Movie Awards performance</a>. </P><P> </P><P>Our own Jim Cantiello played dungeon master as Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear were given a series of semi-famous lines and asked whether they originated with "Harry Potter," the "Twilight Saga" or the lyrics of hard-rock pioneers Led Zeppelin. </P><P> </P><P>Here's a sampling of a few of those one-liners: </P><P> </P><P><b>»</b> "The elder wand, the most powerful wand ever made." </P><P> </P><P><b>»</b> "Why don't you let me be yours ever truly?

Meanwhile, Paula Abdul has been absent from the set since her final group was eliminated last week.
By Jim Cantiello
<P><i>MTV News' own Jim Cantiello is exclusively covering "The X Factor" rehearsals. Read on for his fly-on-the-wall backstage report!</i> </P><P> </P><P><b>LOS ANGELES</b> — "The X Factor" top seven are back on the lot after their first (and only) mini-vacation of the season. And as the Thanksgiving tryptophan wears off, the anxiety of another double elimination is setting in. </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="'X Factor' Star Astro Teases His Michael Jackson Song Night Performance" id="vid:714741" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>Adding to the stress? "The X Factor" is tackling the songs of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jackson_michael/artist.jhtml">Michael Jackson</a> on Wednesday night (November 30), on the 29th anniversary of <i>Thriller</i>'s release, no less. </P><P> </P><P>One of the contestants is so stressed over the theme he's emerged as a total perfectionist. During Monday's rehearsals, he had already nixed multiple arrangements the show had provided him. "This is the most unprepared I've felt on a Monday," he said to his mentor as they rushed out of Stage 36. There was a camera crew chasing them to capture the drama — as well as the ensuing late-night emergency meeting with the vocal coaches — so don't be surprised if some of this intense footage ends up in your living room. (This afternoon's dress rehearsal went swimmingly, for the record.) </P><P> </P><P>Meanwhile, one contestant had a full-on battle with his/her mentor over a chair. The mentor said, "Sit and sing." The contestant said, "Again?! How about I do something on my feet for Michael Jackson week?" Another mentor came to the defense of the contestant. In the end, the contestant is sitting after all. Don't worry, contestant. The eerie arrangement of an MJ classic is what folks are going to be buzzing about. No one will care if you sit or stand. In the control room, I spied one of the bigwigs utter the word "brilliant!" after the contestant's dress rehearsal. </P><P> </P><P>Another hot topic: wardrobe! When paying homage to one of the biggest music icons ever, it's tempting for the stylists to include clothing nods to Michael's various looks. But several singers are worried they'll look too much like Jackson impersonators, which has caused many a headache in the wardrobe trailer. But stylist June Ambrose is still able to keep things light in the midst of the drama. While waiting around for a contestant's last-minute fitting, she started an impromptu MJ dance party on the lot. Crotch grabs and "woo" included! </P><P> </P><P>Lastly, Paula Abdul's sunny energy has been noticeably absent on the CBS lot now that all her groups have been eliminated. She went from being the most hands-on mentor to an on-set ghost. "The X Factor" family can't wait to welcome her back for her first live show as strictly a judge. What do you think she's been doing with her newfound free time? </P><P> </P><P><b>You can catch Jim on the "X Factor Pepsi Pre-Show," streaming at 7 p.m. ET tonight on <a href="http://www.thexfactorusa.com/" target="_blank">TheXFactorUSA.com</a>!</b></p>

U2 are hoping to finish their new album later this year, with the goal of releasing it in early 2014. Bass player Adam Clayton revealed in a radio interview that the band are really trying to finish the project soon, and spoke a little about the sound of the album.
This new album will be the first U2 record in four years, since 2009′s No Line On The Horizon. As previously mentioned, it is expected that their new record will appear in 2014.
Clayton told the Irish radio station 98FM that the the record will feature a sound reminiscent of old U2, “but with the maturity, if you like, of the U2 of the last 10 years. It’s a combination of those two things and it’s a really interesting hybrid.” He also said that the band is in the studio right now trying to get 12 songs finished before Christmas, so that they can enjoy the holidays.
Guitarist The Edge, who was also present during the interview said:
“We always try to bring out something different, every time we’re in the studio. But it’s the fans who decide that really.”
There’s some assumption that U2 were reportedly working with Coldplay‘s Chris Martin; some say that the singer will appear on U2′s upcoming record.
Are you excited for a new U2 album?

Fashion expert weighs in on B's post-baby style during a President Obama fundraiser.
By Jocelyn Vena
<P>All the single ladies: Put your hands up and show Beyoncé some love for looking so smoking hot just 10 weeks after <a href="/news/articles/1676906/beyonce-jay-z-baby-born-ivy-blue.jhtml">giving birth to her baby girl, Blue Ivy</a>. </P><P> </P><P>After multiple sightings of the star out and about in NYC since she first emerged at a <a href="/news/articles/1678726/beyonce-post-baby-appearance-blue-ivy.jhtml">Jay-Z's post-Carnegie Hall party</a>, the singer got all dolled up to hang out with first lady Michelle Obama in Manhattan on Monday night. </P><P> </P><P>The first lady of hip-hop and the <i>actual</i> first lady gathered at the Greenwich Hotel for a fundraising event for President Obama. Along with raising some dough, Beyoncé also raised eyebrows, thanks to her slamming post-baby body. Decked out in a body-hugging navy dress by Victoria Beckham, B rocked sky-high heels, dazzling bling (including a diamond-encrusted eagle) and her hair pulled back in a simple ponytail. So what was Beyoncé doing right in terms of styling herself as a new mom? </P><P> </P><P>"When you think of all the things women dislike about themselves, the majority don't like their upper arms and also have skirt-length issues, so she's addressed both of these. It's an interesting choice because it's snug, not tight," celebrity stylist Robert Verdi told MTV News about B's post-baby style. "There's a distinction. It's body-flattering, for sure. </P><P> </P><P>"It's also a very tasteful length: 2 inches above the knee. It's also a very conservative color, and it's very covered, but it still remains very sexy," he continued about the look. "You don't see all the bumps that women have post-pregnancy. ... Again, the distinction is it's body-conscious without revealing every lump and bump. Tight ain't right, but this ain't tight. This is body-skimming." </P><P> </P><P>With Beyoncé heading back into the spotlight more and more, including a set of <a href="/news/articles/1681308/beyonce-memorial-day-atlantic-city-shows.jhtml">shows planned for Memorial Day weekend</a>, does Verdi think Queen B will reassess her stage style now that she's a mom? </P><P> </P><P>"She's really young, and ... her equity is in her sex appeal, so you can't dismiss that," Verdi said. "She's not going to cover up. I think you've seen a similar evolution with Madonna, where fashion is sexy but is more intellectual. It's not as in-your-face. I think you're going to see the same thing with her. You evolve, but I don't think you stop being an attractive woman because you've had a child." </P><P> </P><P><i>What do you think of B's post-baby style? Let us know in the comments!</i></p>

Adele posed for an elegantly put together Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot spread while talking about everything from ridding of the booze to her highly publicized vocal cord surgery.
Highlights from Adele’s interview are as follows.
On her ‘loud’ personality:
“I am quite loud and bolshie,” she says (British slang for unruly and clamorous). “I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.” Indeed. There is no doubt when Adele is in the building. The rule of thumb for protecting one’s vocal cords, she tells me, is: If people are more than an arm’s length away, you shouldn’t talk to them. “But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,” she says, laughing. “It’s really bad.”
On giving up drinking last May:
“Don’t like drinking anymore. I think I got it out of my system. D’yaknowhaImean?”
On her vocal troubles:
“I’ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I’ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.” She flew to London the next morning to see her doctor and was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. After a couple weeks’ rest, she continued her European tour, came to America, and then her voice went again in May. “That was a hemorrhage… a burst blood vessel on my vocal cord. That healed, I did a tour, and then it happened again at my best friend’s wedding on October 1.”
On getting support through her surgery from other artists:
“John Mayer had it done at the same time as I did and he really helped me be chilled out about it. Roger Daltrey’s had loads of stuff done; Steven Tyler reached out; Elton John. Lots of artists have had problems with their voices, but you don’t know about it. And they are still singing incredibly well in their 50s and 60s.”
On her six Grammy nominations:
