Kelly Clarkson Breaks Her Silence after Talk Show Absence
The Kelly Clarkson Show has gone on without its host, and guest hosts including Wanda Sykes, Brooke Shields, and Kevin Hart, Roy Wood Jr., Simu Liu, and Willie Geist have stepped in to fill her shoes. Molly Sims returns to host the show today, March 14. The unexplained absence has caused concern among Kelly's fans.
When Simu Liu hosted last week, the actor told the audience, "Here's the thing, I did not know that I was doing this until five minutes ago when I arrived here to promote my new movie Last Breath…so I'm here now, and I'm not one to back down from a challenge." There has been no mention of her absence since.
News outlets have since reported that Kelly is dealing with a personal matter: TMZ reported, "Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ... Kelly herself is completely fine. She's been dealing with a personal matter that does not directly involve her." The news outlet also explains that she was scheduled to resume filming on March 13, and, according to the show's latest Instagram post, she'll return to the air on March 18. Another guest host will take over on March 19.
In the meantime, Kelly took to her Instagram story on March 14 to update fans on some career news with a special message. She joined Rascal Flatts for a new version of their song, "I'm Moving On." The band has a new album, Life Is a Highway: Refueled Duets, coming out this summer, and their single with Kelly dropped today. She wrote, "Thanks @rascalflatts for letting me jump on 'I'm Movin' On' ❤️ I have always loved this song!"
While it may not be the update fans were looking for, we hope this means Kelly is doing well and will be back on our TV screens soon!

Kim Kardashian ditches her signature dark hair for new color
Kim Kardashian may no longer be "keeping up" with her dark hair color. The "Kardashians" star took to Instagram on Friday, Aug. 15, with a photo soft-launching a possible return to blonde locks in a selfie featuring her pouted lips and a hair clip attached at the top of the fashion icon's forehead. "About that time," Kardashian captioned the post. City Girls rapper JT commented, "Favorite color on you!" Kardashian's hairstylist, Chris Appleton, wrote, "The best," as the "Your Roots Don't Define You" author added a white heart emoji. Met Gala 2022: Kim Kardashian channels Marilyn Monroe When did Kim Kardashian previously have blonde hair? The Skims founder has previously embraced blonde hair. In 2022, Kardashian channeled American beauty icon and blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe's hairstyle while at that year's Met Gala. Kardashian sparked backlash when she borrowed the original skin-tight, sparkling Bob Mackie dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to sing "Happy Birthday" to President John F. Kennedy, nearly 60 years to the day after the iconic actress first did. She wore a tight, bleach blonde bun for the occasion, just two days after showing off flowing, dark hair at the White House Correspondents' Dinner with her then-boyfriend, comedian Pete Davidson, during their red carpet debut. Then, two years later, she brought blonde back again for the Met Gala's 2024 edition with a platinum blonde look. Kardashian shimmered in a floral Maison Margiela dress by John Galliano as the gown's metallic silver sheen gave an ultramodern spin on "The Garden of Time" dress code. But the highlight of the night's look was her surprising hair choice: the platinum locks, parted and worn down. Contributing: Edward Segarra & Hannah Yasharoff/ USA TODAY
