KELLY CLARKSON REFLECTS ON HER LIFE
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- There's one achievement Kelly Clarkson considers bigger than winning the first "American Idol": she fell in love. As Clarkson puts it, "Welcome to Cheeseville!" She's been dating Brandon Blackstock for eight months. Clarkson says it's her best accomplishment because she didn't think it would happen. She says it's like "one of those cheesy love songs," but at some point she'll get mad at him, so she'll write songs about that. Clarkson's "Greatest Hits - Chapter One" comes out next week.

TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA SETS CONCERTS ON FIRE
NEW YORK (AP) -- What band uses the most pyro in their live shows? Paul O'Neill of Trans-Siberian Orchestra claims it's his band -- and he says TSO may even have more pyro than all other bands combined. He says they do intense negotiations with fire marshals in every city they visit. O'Neill says they also have a road crew that runs like a military campaign who set up and tear down the massive sets. O'Neill says you can see them on YouTube but you have to be there to appreciate the multi-dimensional aspect of a TSO concert.

PROSECUTORS ELIMINATE DRUG CHARGES AGAINST BON JOVI'S DAUGHTER
CLINTON, N.Y. (AP) -- Drug charges against Jon Bon Jovi's daughter have been dropped. Prosecutors dismissed drug possession charges against 19-year-old Stephanie Bongiovi and fellow Hamilton College student Ian Grant. Under New York's Good Samaritan law of 2011, someone having a drug overdose or seeking help for an overdose victim can't be prosecuted for having a small amount of heroin or any amount of marijuana. The law intends to reduce overdose deaths by encouraging people to call 911 without fear of prosecution. Bongiovi was hospitalized after apparently overdosing on heroin in a Hamilton College dorm early Wednesday.

PHISH FRONTMAN OPENS UP ABOUT DRUG USE
NEW YORK (AP) -- Phish frontman Trey Anastasio says the lowest point of his life was right before Phish called it quits in 2004 -- because he was a raging drug addict. Anastasio tells Rolling Stone keyboardist Page McConnell had told him for 20 years he had faith in Anastasio onstage, but for the first time he wasn't sure. Anastasio was arrested for drug possession in 2006 and was humiliated that a Phish fan happened to be his jail guard. Anastasio is clean now and says he hates drugs.
