Kelly Clarkson cancels Texas concert appearance days after ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's shock death
Kelly Clarkson has canceled her upcoming appearance at the Band Together Texas fundraising concert following the death of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The 43-year-old singer — who was not mentioned in the former talent manager's obituary — was slated to hit the stage at the event on August 17 to raise money for those affected by the deadly July floods. While the mom-of-two did not share the news herself, the announcement was made on the event's Instagram stories on Tuesday. 'Unfortunately, Kelly Clarkson will be unable to appear at Band Together Texas as planned, due to personal circumstances,' the since-expired post read. 'We send out love to Kelly and her family,' the statement concluded. The benefit concert — which is being put on by both Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum — will be held in Austin at the Moody Center. Lambert and McCollum are also set to perform as well as other music artists such as Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Jack Ingram, Cody Johnson, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall and Randy Rogers Band. The event 'aims to rally critical support for flood-impacted communities and their ongoing needs as they recover and rebuild,' per the official website. Clarkson's ex-husband passed away at the age of 48 on August 7 following a three-year battle with melanoma. The former couple were married from 2013 until their divorce was finalized in 2022. They also welcomed two children together: Remington, 11, and River, nine. He was also father to Savannah, 23, and Seth, 18, whom he welcomed with first wife Melissa Ashworth — who recently broke her silence on his death. But Clarkson was not mentioned in Blackstock's obit which was released on Tuesday by Butte Funeral Home. Other relatives were listed in the obit such as his four children, grandchildren, grandparents and stepparents — which includes former stepmom Reba McEntire. The obit notably included the bombshell revelation that Blackstock had been in a relationship with Clarkson's past assistant leading up to his death. Clarkson and Blackstock first met in 2006 but didn't begin dating until six years later in 2012. The following year, the pair tied the knot during a ceremony that was held at Blackberry Farms in Tennessee. But in June 2020, the talk show host filed for divorce and cited the reason for the split as 'irreconcilable differences.' The divorce was finalized two years later. 'I think the thing about divorce — especially having it publicized, and people thinking they know the whole thing — the hardest part of that is, like, it wasn't an overnight decision,' Clarkson said on Angie Martinez's IRL podcast in 2023. 'I wanted to make it beautiful. I wanted to make it awesome. I wanted to make it everything it possibly could be, and sometimes that just doesn't happen.' She also sued her ex-husband last year after accusing him of making unauthorized business deals on her behalf. They settled their lawsuits over commissions in May 2024, ending a contentious legal battle that began after their divorce was finalized two years earlier. Last week, one day before Blackstock's passing was announced, Clarkson took to Instagram to announce the postponement of the remainder of her Las Vegas residency concerts for August. The following day, a rep for the family said in a statement: 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. 'Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family.' The statement concluded with, 'We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.' Before his marriage to Clarkson, Blackstock had tied the knot with his first wife Melissa Ashworth in 1999 until their divorce in 2012. The obit released on Tuesday also revealed that the former talent manager had a 'loving partner' before his death. He had been in a relationship with Brittney Marie Jones and the pair had been living a private life in the state of Montana. The obit also included: 'After more than 20 years in the music business, Brandon found his way back to the mountains and the cowboy way of life he always wanted to live. He found a homestead and a love in Butte, Montana. 'Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana.' Jones had been a former assistant to Clarkson, per a prior LinkedIn profile, and was also an executive assistant to Blackstock. Jones' father has since broken silence on Blackstock's passing and called the former talent manager and his daughter 'soulmates.' 'Yesterday we lost a good man, Brandon Blackstock, my daughter's soulmate, and I considered him my son,' her father wrote in a now private post on Facebook, per Page Six. 'My sincere condolences to Brittney Jones and family. We're sure going to miss your funny humor. R.I.P hoss!' Other tributes have since flooded in to remember Blackstock as they mourn his loss, such as his first wife and son Seth. Reba McEntire's son Shelby shared a heartbreaking post in honor of his late half-brother. Blackstock was the son of Narvel Blackstock and Elisa Gayle Ritter. Narvel was later married to Reba from 1989 through 2015 — and they welcomed son Shelby together. The race car driver penned an emotional tribute to Blackstock late last week alongside an assortment of throwback photos. He also opened up about the 'tremendous loss our family has endured' and called Blackstock an 'irreplaceable part of our family.' McEntire broke her silence on his passing by penning a message in the comment section of her son's post. 'Very well said Shelby. Yes we will miss him so much,' she wrote along with red and broken heart emojis.

Britney Spears suffers double nip-slip in peekaboo dress as fans rage over Kevin Federline's 'cash grab'
Britney Spears posted another one of her trademark scantily-clad dance videos on Tuesday - this time with a saucy twist. The 43-year-old was wearing a revealing gold minidress with a wide peekaboo section that flashed her amply endowed cleavage. Unfortunately the gap was so broad that Britney found herself repeatedly suffering nip slips, sometimes on both sides simultaneously. She was cheerfully undeterred by her wardrobe malfunctions, continuing to dance and grinning mischievously at the camera. However she made sure to use tiny sunflower emoji to ensure she refrained from violating the Instagram Community Guidelines involving nudity. The video comes after her fans slammed her ex-husband Kevin Federline over his announcement he is penning a tell-all about her called You Thought You Knew. Federline, 47, irritated loyal Britney supporters as he promised in a news release his book would reveal 'extremely intimate and transparent' details about their 'highly publicized marriage.' Federline said of his upcoming book, 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' Federline, who was wed to Britney from 2004 thru 2007, added that 'if you've ever had questions, you'll find answers here.' But loyal supporters of the ...Baby One More Time songstress - who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Federline - weren't interested in the book, which is slated to be released October 21. Daily Mail has reached out to Federline via Instagram for comment on the backlash to the release of the forthcoming book. Fans of Spears took exception with Federline for rehashing his past with the Womanizer artist in what they felt was a blatant cash grab. 'So, no one would buy his story, so he thinks people want to hear him read his notes app life story?' asked one user, while another said, 'Damn, he REALLY needs money!' Said one Reddit user: 'That child support dried up realllllll quick,' while another chimed in, 'His timing tells you everything.' The 43-year-old was wearing a revealing gold minidress with a wide peekaboo section that flashed her amply endowed cleavage One user on X referenced another of the Lucky singer's famous exes in slamming Federline. 'Instead of writing fanfiction novels he should go back and tour with Justin Timberlake so they can both cry endless rivers,' the user said. 'It's tiring.' One Reddit user added, 'I suggest on his release date, let's all buy a copy of Britney's book and get her back on the charts.' In addition to his sons with the Oops!... I Did It Again vocalist, Federline is father to daughter Kori, 23, and son Kaleb, 21, with actress Shar Jackson, 48. He is also father to daughters Jordan, 13, and Peyton, nine, with his wife, former volleyball player Victoria Prince, 42. One X user said of Federline's ties to show business: 'He was a dancer, knocked up 2 celebrities, abandoned the 1st one and their kids while she was still pregnant then married the more famous one and took her kids for the child support money.' According to the news release, 'The public unraveling of Britney's life and the constant attention around their family forced Kevin to balance being a father with being a protector.' Some fans expressed concern Britney could be emotionally impacted for the worse with her ex-husband bringing their past dirty laundry back into the public consciousness. 'Ah great…another person reopening her wounds and bringing more judgement her way,' a Britney fan said. A Reddit user noted, 'Britney has been through enough. Now this? My heart goes out to her and I hope she slams him.' One Britney fan referred to the 2022 book penned by her sister Jamie Lynn Spears, Things I Should Have Said. 'Guess he didn't see what happens when Jamie Lynn attempted to mooch off Britney w her book,' the fan said. Federline in the book also will detail his time as a dancer for Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child and Pink, according to the news release.

Taylor Swift confirms October album release for The Life of A Showgirl
The news came during Swift's appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, who formerly played for the Philadelphia Eagles. Unveiling a copy of the new record, the singer said: 'This is my new album, The Life Of A Showgirl. It's something I was working on while I was in Europe on the Eras tour.' A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) Travis Kelce said the fact that Swift recorded the album while simultaneously travelling the world for her sold-out tour was 'still blowing my mind'. Swift said: 'I just love music. I would be playing shows three nights in a row then I would have three days off. 'I would fly to Sweden. Working on this, I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating.' In an Instagram post, the 35-year-old revealed the album's artwork and 12-track listing – with Sabrina Carpenter featuring on the title song and only collaboration. The Life Of A Showgirl is Swift's first album since regaining control over her back catalogue and purchasing the rights to all of her concert films, music videos, album art and photography, as well as her unreleased songs. The US popstar re-recorded her first six albums and released them as Taylor's Version, following a dispute with retired talent manager Scooter Braun. Braun acquired the back catalogue when he bought Swift's former label. Her master copies were then sold in a deal with Shamrock Capital, before Swift purchased them from the company in May. Swift has released new versions of Fearless (2008), Red (2012), Speak Now (2010) and 1989 (2014). Her 12th album follows 2024's The Tortured Poets Department, and comes after Swift's billion-dollar, record-breaking Eras Tour ended in December. She made history last summer when the tour became the highest-grossing of all time, and Swift became the first solo artist to perform at London's Wembley Stadium eight times on a single tour. Swift has had four UK number one singles and 13 UK number one albums, and some of her best-known songs include Love Story, Shake It Off and 22.
