#SHOWBIZ: Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband Brandon Blackstock dies of melanoma at 48
LOS ANGELES: The official cause of death for Brandon Blackstock — the ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson and father of her two children — has been confirmed as natural causes related to melanoma. Silver Bow County Coroner Dan Hollis told People that the 48-year-old talent manager passed away peacefully at his home in Butte, Montana, on 7 August. He was under hospice care and was surrounded by his family. Blackstock's representative had previously confirmed his death in a statement, revealing he had been battling melanoma, a type of skin cancer, for over three years. "It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away," the statement read. "Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family." Just a day before the announcement, Clarkson postponed the remaining dates of her Las Vegas residency in August, citing her ex-husband's illness. "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," she wrote on Instagram, thanking her fans for their kindness and understanding. During her Las Vegas show on July 26, Clarkson became visibly emotional while introducing her 2015 ballad 'Piece By Piece'. Wiping away tears, the Grammy-winning singer told the audience: "Compartmentalisation, I'm really trying to pull it together." Clarkson and Blackstock married in 2013 and had two children together: daughter River, born in 2014, and son Remington, born in 2016. Clarkson filed for divorce in 2020, and the split was finalised in 2022 after a highly publicised legal battle. Before his marriage to Clarkson, Blackstock was married to Melissa Ashworth from 2001 to 2012, with whom he had a daughter, Savannah, 23, and a son, Seth, 18. At the time of his passing, he was expecting his third grandchild.

New Lizzo song pokes at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans mess
Lizzo (left) hinted last week at being inspired by the scandal, when she previewed the new track as she sported an all-denim get-up, channeling Sydney Sweeney. Photos: TNS, American Eagle/Instagram Sydney Sweeney might be all buttoned up regarding her controversial American Eagle jeans/genes ad campaign, but Lizzo isn't ready to let the scandal die down just yet. For the rare few who missed the Internet's ire over the Euphoria star's jeans ads that launched late last month, many took the 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' slogan as a nod to Nazi-era eugenics. Grammy winner Lizzo, 37, shared a clip from the I'm Goin' In Till October music video on Wednesday, less than a week after American Eagle broke their silence on the denim mess. 'No kizzy, he ain't got no business being with me/ Fat a– pretty face with the t—s,' sings the Juice pop star, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson. 'B—, I got good jeans like I'm Sydney.' Though some might assume the winking lyric should be spelled 'genes,' Lizzo hinted last week at being inspired by the scandal, when she previewed the new track as she sported an all-denim get-up, channeling 27-year-old Sweeney. The video, captioned 'Lizzo's got Good Jeans,' began with a pundit slamming the 'woke agenda' and the response to the Emmy nominee. It was a since-deleted commercial that courted controversy as the Anyone But You star tells consumers, genes, or jeans, are 'passed down from parents to offspring, determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour.' The blue-eyed, blonde bombshell — whose own look the Internet quickly equated to the Aryan aesthetic favoured by Adolf Hitler — then proclaims that her 'jeans are blue.' American Eagle insisted the campaign 'is and always was about the jeans' and that the retailer would 'continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' Lizzo's tongue-in-cheek move comes two years after her own reputation took a hit in August 2023, when her former dancers filed a lawsuit accusing the body positive songstress of racial and sexual harassment and weight-shaming. A September 2023 lawsuit filed by Lizzo's former wardrobe assistant was dropped in December 2024. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
