Kelly Clarkson has had a busy week preparing to host the Billboard Music Awards, doing press for her movie Ugly Dolls that comes out tomorrow, promoting her new single Broken & Beautiful and dealing with appendicitis. According to Jarrett Wieselman, she had been suffering with it all week, but you never would have known watching host the show yesterday. He said you never would have known that she was in any discomfort. She told him, “Not gonna lie…. I may or may not have broken down in tears after the show from pain 😬 BUT thanks 2 all the amazing people @ Cedars-Sinai I flew home directly after the event, nailed the surgery early this morning, & feeling awesome now! Bye bye appendix 🤣 #TheShowMustGoOn 💁🏼♀️”
Instead of being hungover this morning, she was drugged. Since it was the good stuff, I am sure she does not mind.
Now let’s talk about her commitment to making sure the show went on. If you see Clarkson in person, bow down to her because she is a Queen. Not that many people would have performed in that condition. Things we learned from season 1 of American Idol, she is not like most people. Plus, as bad as the pain was this go around, it still had to be less painful than filming From Justin to Kelly. There are not enough drugs to dull that pain.
One that won’t be painful is her new talk show in the fall. For some reason this makes me want to watch it more. I bet you she will be the #1 talk show host by the end of the season.
Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson have gotten used to things at The Voice being as is, but this season things are going to get competitive with John Legend joining them on the big red chairs. That is because the EGOT winner is more than just a singer. Unlike those other three.
Plus, who is going to want to be on the team of American Idol’s first winner when they can work with a Tony winner? Who wants to be coached by someone who played the Super Bowl halftime show when they can be taught by the youngest winner of the touchdown of Hollywood awards? Why work with Blake Shelton when you can work with John Legend. Those three are going to be left with his sloppy seconds. And I cannot wait to watch it all go down starting on February 25th.
Let’s be honest, whenever you are alone and Kelly Clarkson’s Since U Been Gone comes on, you sing your heart out to it. We all do it! It screams, rock out to me. Thus, you obey.
But maybe we shouldn’t. Jimmy Fallon got several people to listen to the chart-topper, blasting in some headphones and sing along with the tune on The Tonight Show yesterday. How did John Oliver, Rachel Brosnahan, Mumford & Sons, Meghan Trainor, Anthony Anderson and The Roots do? Well, none of us noise cancelling headphones on, but we wish we did.
As bad as some of them sounded, they still sounded a million times better than me. Which is why my neighbors have asked me to stop singing in the shower or anywhere basically.
Seriously, this segment is so full of joy, I hope the NBC show does it more often.
Tonight on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots invited The Voice coaches to do a mashup of their hits acapella style. The started with Adam Levine, followed up with Jennifer Hudson, somehow got Blake Shelton to blend in before saving, Kelly Clarkson, the best for last.
Oddly enough, not only do they mesh well together as coaches on the NBC show. They also mesh well when they sing as one. Who knew?
The first trailer is out for the star-studded animated movie Ugly Dolls and I am disappointed by it. You would think with a cast like Janelle Monáe, Nick Jonas, Pitbull, Wanda Sykes, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton and Emma Roberts, they would spend money on making the animation film look good, but I guess they spent it all on the cast instead.
It looks cheaper than the animated series based on movies that the kids you know watch on Netflix. Have you seen how bad those Barbie episodes look? Plus, the song is not as catchy as the ones in Trolls.
Yet, having said all of that, I am sure lots of kids will be begging their parents to take them to see it on May 10th. Then we will be forced to buy them the toys from it for their birthdays. It is an evil cycle that costs us money.
