Originally posted 08/14/2009 12:00PM
Kelly Clarkson and NBA supertstar LeBron James are teaming to promote education in a new special, Get Schooled: You Have the Right, documenting how the behind-the-scenes professionals who work with the stars became who they are today.
The special, which will air simultaneously Sept. 8 (8 p.m. ET) on BET, MTV, VH1, CMT, Comedy Central, Spike TV and Nickelodeon, will include flashbacks and new footage as it focuses on the educational moments that helped Clarkson's music director Jason Halbert and Latesha Williams, who works on James's marketing team, achieve their levels of success.
"Lots of young people run into problems beyond their control, like finances, that keep them from pursuing their education," Clarkson, 27, said in a statement. "At that point, it's easy to give up. But I believe it's important to continue to work hard and learn from everyone and everything around you."

COUNTED: Jamie Foxx's passionate recollection of his late grandmother during his Best Actor acceptance speech for Ray was the Oscar moment most replayed by TiVo digital video recorder customers, the company announced, basing its sample on 10,000 anonymous TiVo households.

DEFENDED: Jury selection begins in Manhattan Monday for a $3 million lawsuit against Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, 34, filed by his former chauffeur, Wardel Fenderson, 45, according to published reports. Fenderson contends he was forced by the music mogul and his bodyguards to speed away from a Times Square nightclub on Dec. 27, 1999, ignoring police orders to stop after a shooting took place. Combs, who was cleared of weapons charges in the case, is expected to take the stand in the suit, and his companion at the time, Jennifer Lopez, reportedly has been subpoenaed.
