Jill Greenberg/RCA RecordsKelly Clarkson is revealing details of her new album Piece by Piece, well, piece by piece. In her latest gift to fans, she shares some lyrics and song titles from the album’s track listing.

“Each of these lyrics relates to an experience in my life, and I hope that some of these may trigger memories or reactions for y’all as well,” Kelly writes in a note to fans. “If it does, I would love to hear about it and why that lyric connected with you. I’ll be checking in and reading your stories, and I might even reach out to you personally to hear more!”

One of the songs, called “Invincible,” seems to be in the same empowering vein as her hit “Stronger.” The lyrics read: “Now I am invincible/No I ain’t a scared little girl no more/ Yeah I am invincible/What was I running for/I was hiding from the world/I was so afraid I felt so unsure/Now I am invincible and I’m a perfect storm.”

The title track, “Piece by Piece,” includes the lyrics, “Piece by piece I fell far from the tree/I will never leave her like you left me/And she will never have to wonder her worth because unlike you I’m gonna put her first.”

And in another song called “War Paint,” the lyrics state: “We could be beautiful without our war paint, our war paint/And we could have it all once we let our walls break, our walls break.”

In total, Kelly reveals partial lyrics and titles for eight tracks, not counting the previously announced single “Heartbeat Song.”  You can view them all, and share your comments, by going to PiecebyPiece.KellyClarkson.com.

Piece by Piece hits stores March 3. Kelly released a lyric video for “Heartbeat Song” on Monday.

ABC/Randy HolmesIf you’ve ever been so hungry that you’ve become angry then you certainly will relate to Snoop Dogg‘s new Super Bowl commercial.

The rapper has teamed up with comedian Gilbert Gottfriend for a 30-second commercial to promote a new app Eat24, which allows anyone to curb their hunger with late-night eating options.

“Are you hangry?” Snoop says in the clip. “Know the signs: uncontrollable yelling, hallucinations, pants discomfort. Hangry — it can happen to anyone.”

The free app, which Snoop considers the best “mother f**king way to order food online,” is available for iPhone and Android devices.

Image Courtesy Peter Kramer/NBCKanye West says marriage to Kim Kardashian West has changed him for the better, in more ways than one.

“I’ve definitely learned how to compromise more,” the Grammy winner told Ellen DeGeneres on her show Wednesday. “I’ve learned how to shut up more. … I think I’m a better human being because of her and because of my daughter.”

The A-list couple tied the knot in May and are already parents to North West, who appears in West’s new video for “Only One,” which just premiered on his website.

“I have always someone to think about going home to,” Kanye said. “There’s things I’ve done in the past that were considered negative, but I was really jumping in front of the tank for other people or for culture in a way. Now, I always have to have that in my mind that I have a family I have to protect, too.”

DeGeneres added that West seemed “calmer” and that his emotions were channeled in a more grounded way.  West responded that earlier, he was going through his version of “my terrible twos,” referencing his past, and relating to his little two-year-old at home.

“My daughter, she just wants to express herself, but she just doesn’t have the words for it,” he said.  “For me, there’s so many things I want to do with film, with clothing, and I just didn’t have the words.”

He added that “There’s no amount of money that someone can give you to make you not be creative … a lot of times people try to block you, control your creativity with money.”

West said with his new Adidas deal, he’s got more control over his clothing line and that it’s like “a little bit of oxygen.” Unlike his past, West explains, “You guys were seeing someone suffocated by perception.”

As for more kids, West said, “Yeah, we’re trying … I just want whatever Kim wants.” The rapper also revealed that he’s still working on a title for his next album. “We’re still trying to find the vibe,” explained ‘Ye. “[There’s] this transition from what I felt when I did Yeezus to what I feel now and we’re just creating, so we haven’t found it yet.”

Douglas Gorenstein/NBCWhile most stars wouldn’t be caught dead wearing the same red carpet outfit more than once, Lorde is not above doubling up.  The Grammy-winning “Royals” singer posted a photo to Instagram Wednesday which shows her repurposing the crop top she wore to the Golden Globes.

Derrick SantiniEarlier this week, it was announced that Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Tom Petty and legendary rock singer/songwriter/producer Jeff Lynne had been added to the songwriting credits of Sam Smith’s Grammy-nominated hit, “Stay with Me,” because of its supposed similarity to Petty and Lynne’s 1989 hit composition, “I Won’t Back Down.”  Now, Petty has issued statement about that decision, saying there’s no bad blood between himself and Sam.

“About the Sam Smith thing. Let me say I have never had any hard feelings toward Sam,” Petty writes on his website. “All my years of songwriting have shown me these things can happen.  Most times you catch it before it gets out the studio door but in this case it got by.” 

Here, Petty is apparently referring to the fact that sometimes, songwriters are unaware that what they’re working on is similar to an existing song.

Tom then continues, “Sam’s people were very understanding of our predicament and we easily came to an agreement.  The word lawsuit was never even said and was never my intention.  And no more was to be said about it. How it got out to the press is beyond Sam or myself.  Sam did the right thing and I have thought no more about this.  A musical accident no more no less.”

Petty concludes, “In these times we live in this is hardly news. I wish Sam all the best for his ongoing career. Peace and love to all.”

When the news of the credit addendum came to life, Sam’s rep issued a statement saying that the publishers of “I Won’t Back Down” had contacted the publishers of “Stay with Me” about the  “similarities heard in the melodies of the choruses of the two compositions.”  The statement went on to say that Sam and his co-writers were not “previously familiar with” Petty’s hit, but they “acknowledged the similarity.”

That statement concluded, “Although the likeness was a complete coincidence, all involved came to an immediate and amicable agreement in which Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne are now credited as co-writers of ‘Stay With Me’ along with Sam Smith, James Napier and William Phillips.”

The Recording Academy later clarified that if “Stay with Me” wins the Song of the Year Grammy, Petty and Lynne will not receive trophies, because they didn’t do any “new writing” on the song.
