Kelly Clarkson - Kelly Clarkson Uses Perks Of Fame

Kelly Clarkson loves getting her assistants to use her name to get restaurant tables that would otherwise be fully booked.

Kelly Clarkson loves using her celebrity status to get tables in restaurants.

The 'Breakaway' hitmaker insists she would feel like a "tool" if she called a venue to make a booking for herself but is happy to have her assistant arrange things for her.

She said: "I do love it when you call a restaurant and they're booked, then you have an assistant call, dropping your name, and somehow a table is found.

"I've never dropped it myself though, I'd feel like a tool."

However, Kelly - who shot to fame after winning TV talent show 'American Idol' in 2002 - insists she never goes out of her way to be noticed by anyone and can't understand why some celebrities enjoy being spotted so much.

She told Closer magazine: "I laugh at people who go to places just to be seen. At the start, I was told I should do that too but it's fake and ridiculous to me, I don't understand it."
