Kelly Clarkson is temporarily stepping away from her Las Vegas residency due to family matters. In a statement posted to X on Wednesday night, the three-time Grammy winner announced she is postponing the rest of the August dates for her Studio Sessions residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace so she can be 'fully present' while her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, is ill.

'I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me and I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow's opening at Caesars. The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice. I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve.' Clarkson's residency was announced back in February. Her next performance is set for Nov. 7, just eight days before it was originally set to end on Nov. 15.

Kelly Clarkson Reveals That Ex Brandon Blackstock 'Has Been Ill,' Postpones Residency to 'Be Fully Present' for Their Kids
Clarkson and Blackstock split in June 2020 after seven years of marriage Kelly Clarkson is taking time away to focus on her family. On Wednesday, Aug. 6, the singer-songwriter revealed her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, is ill and that she'll be postponing her Las Vegas residency to spend time with their children, River, 10, and Remington, 8. "Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas," Clarkson wrote in an Instagram post. The statement continued: "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them. I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding." A rep for Blackstock did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Clarkson was married to Blackstock for seven years before they split in June 2020. They welcomed two children during their marriage: daughter River Rose and son Remington Alexander. Clarkson filed for divorce from the music manager in 2020 and it was finalized two years later. In January 2024, Clarkson told PEOPLE the divorce was "extraordinarily hard." "You feel alone, and it's just a blessing to be able to have that outlet for those emotions that are overwhelming," she said, referencing her album Chemistry. Meanwhile, on March 27, Clarkson appeared on Kylie Kelce's Not Gonna Lie podcast and made rare comments about Blackstock, pointed out the double standards between working moms and working dads. "There's a lot that I keep in because ... co-parenting is fun," she quipped. "It's like, 'Oh, he couldn't come because this,' and I'm like, 'Okay, cool.' Do you think I just leave and just sit in the park all day?" Read the original article on People

Ukrainian artist's Dallas exhibit blends beauty, resilience
At just 10 years old, Hanna Chekodanova was captivated by the Ukrainian painting style known as Petrykivka. "It was the motif, the flowers, the flow of flowers," she said. Recognized by UNESCO as a global cultural treasure, Petrykivka is more than just art—it's identity. Chekodanova has built a successful career sharing it with the world. This week, her paintings are on display at Dallas City Hall as part of the city's friendship agreement with Ukraine. The exhibit isn't just about beauty—it's about survival. "Ukrainians are having to protect their culture so drastically because that seems to be a target for Russia," said Chrystya Geremesz of the Ukrainian American Society of Texas. "So Ukrainians are showing resilience, showing the courage to stand up and say we have an identity." When the war broke out, Chekodanova didn't want to leave her home, but she had no choice. "She started hearing all of the drone attacks and missiles and sirens," Geremesz said. Chekodanova came to the United States with her husband through the Uniting for Ukraine program. But earlier this year, the federal government paused it. Now, unable to extend her stay, she must return home this month. "She feels really sad, and is very frustrated because she has to leave the United States and now after being here two years, has to start somewhere again," Geremesz said. In North Texas, Chekodanova found a community. Just 10 months ago, she welcomed her first child. "She's very grateful for America for having the opportunity to give birth to a child in a very peaceful environment," Geremesz said. "During this war, the targets were hospitals and so many women, pregnant women, have not been able to successfully deliver." Chekodanova doesn't know what the future holds, but she's choosing to have faith. It's the title of a self-portrait with her son. "Some may feel tenderness in it, others—strength, and some may see the very essence of life's continuity, enduring even through the darkest times," she writes on her website. "The composition extends a quiet invitation to trust in something greater, something felt not through words but through the heart." Her art exhibit will be on display through Friday in the main lobby of Dallas City Hall.
