Billie Eilish is crushing a track, but we don't mean one of her hit songs -- instead, she's fueling her need for speed by getting behind the wheel and racing go-karts! Billie hit up Go Kart World in Carson, CA with her father and 2 friends. A spokesperson for the track tells us the singer was already packing plenty of muscle when she arrived ... referring to her 1,000-horsepower Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye. Of course, Billie was pushing way fewer horses last Tuesday night once her group got on the venue's one-third mile Super Track, where they were zipping around in Euro Karts ... which top out at 40 mph. The folks at Go Kart World had no idea Billie was coming in, and she stayed until closing. We're told she was extremely nice to the staff -- she and her friend Duckwrth even posed for a photo with the manager. Of course, she didn't leave without showing off her skills behind the wheel ... leading everyone else in her group on each lap. Must be all that … [Read more...] about Billie Eilish Goes Night Racing At Go Kart World With Dad and Friends

On Tuesday, the singer announced she’s taking her talk show’s “Kellyoke” segment — where she covers her favorite songs, both old and new — on the road to welcome others to perform duets of her own songs. Clarkson’s tour bus will make stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Chicago — and also watch auditions submitted on TikTok with the hashtag # KellyokeSearch — to find the best singers to duet with her on the Kelly Clarkson Show. “This summer we’re taking the Kelly Clarkson Show on the road to find some of the greatest voices across America,” Clarkson said in a video. “Come sing a virtual duet with me to one of my songs.” Some of the best “virtual duets” may even be featured on Clarkson’s talk show, which just got renewed for a fourth season. The fan-interactive version of the segment comes several weeks after Clarkson dropped an EP of covers from her … [Read more...] about Kelly Clarkson Takes ‘Kellyoke’ on the Road as She Searches for the ‘Greatest Voices’ in America
