Kelly Clarkson's son hates brushing his teeth
Kelly Clarkson's nine-year-old son "refuses to brush his teeth".
The 43-year-old pop star - who has son Remy and daughter River, 10, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock - has found an unusual way to encourage her son to embrace dental hygiene.
She said on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show': "I have a boy and a girl. And my boy and I have a real hard time. He's gonna hate me saying this, I don't care, because maybe it'll shame him into doing it. But he just refuses to brush his teeth."
Despite this, Kelly has found an innovative way to get Remy to brush his teeth.
She shared: "It's like a thing, and so finally, I was like, 'Hey, let's make a fun thing of it.' So I was in the shower, I'm like, 'Just take your toothbrush and your toothpaste in the shower. You can be messy. You can do whatever'.
"So that works. So now he's brushing his teeth."
Kelly explained that her son and daughter have very different attitudes.
She said: "I don't know what it's about boys. They don't wanna brush.
"My girl is always like, 'Oh yeah, of course, I did that.' Like I'm an idiot that I asked her. And then my son, he's just like, 'Yeah, I totally did.' And I'm like, 'You're lying. Let me smell your breath.'"
Meanwhile, Kelly previously admitted to suffering from so-called mom guilt.
The chart-topping star revealed that she struggled to find a healthy balance between her work and her family life.
Kelly - who was married to Brandon between 2013 and 2022 - told Redbook magazine in 2016: "If you're a mom, you want to be with your kid every day. You don't want to miss a moment, you want her to need you and want you and not want somebody else."
Despite this, Kelly still loves the challenges of motherhood.
The singer shared: "There are days where I cry and I'm like, 'I don't know if I can handle all this!' or get it all done. But at the end of the day, 99 percent of the time, it's awesome and it's worth it, and that's what I say to myself."

Hoda Kotb feels ready for her next 'chapter' in life
Hoda Kotb is "open" to finding love again. The 60-year-old TV star has barely thought about romance since leaving the 'Today' show in January - but Hoda is now looking forward to the next "chapter" in her life. Hoda - who has Haley, eight, and Hope, six, with former partner Joel Schiffman - told People: "I've been really getting my sea legs. When it happens will be the time it's supposed to happen." Hoda is now looking forward to the future with optimism, admitting that she's open to finding someone new. The broadcaster - who was married to Burzis Kanga between 2005 and 2008 - said: "When things are supposed to end, they end. And when things are supposed to begin, they begin. "But you have to be wide open because if you're not, it's not happening. So I think that chapter is yet to come, but I know it's coming. And I'm excited for that chapter." Hoda left her role on the 'Today' show on January 10, and she subsequently announced plans to launch her own wellness app. During a conversation on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show', the host told Hoda: "I have to say though, ma'am, as soon as they told me you were not doing the 'Today' show, I was like, 'So what's that b**** doing?' "I was like, 'Because there's no way you're not doing anything.' You're me, you like problems, you like working." Hoda then admitted that she's determined to stay busy, before revealing her plans for her new wellness business. The TV host shared: "I like things, I do. "So, I kind of got hooked in the wellness space, like a couple of years ago. I started doing stuff that I thought seemed woo woo and weird, and then all of a sudden as I was doing it. I was like, 'Wait, I feel calmer, I feel better.'" Hoda has been busily "building" her new business venture over recent times, and she's convinced that it has huge potential. Hoda explained: "We can get together, do things that I love, and when you're done, it's not like going to Mexico with your girls, which is fun, but this is something that when you leave, you'll go like, 'Oh my gosh. I feel transformed. I feel different.' So I'm in the building process of that."

Elizabeth Banks makes toilet plea to hotel guests after 'shocking' experiences as chambermaid
Elizabeth Banks used to remove "condoms and tampons" from toilets during her time as a "chambermaid". The 51-year-old actress has recalled her time taking on difficult jobs before finding success as an actress, and she recalled a period where she "cleaned toilets" to make a living. She told 'The Kelly Clarkson Show': "I started working really young. I've done everything. I was a waitress for a decade. I also was a chambermaid at a bed and breakfast." The 'Charlie's Angels' star took the opportunity to make a plea for any guests in the hospitality sector from someone who's been on the other side. She begged: "I just have some advice for people who stay in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, whatever. "Please stop flushing things other than tepee down toilets. "Like the amount of condoms and tampons I had to dig out of toilets as a 17-year-old is shocking to me." However, Elizabeth conceded that the experience was character-building, and she feels like she's ready for anything. She added: "Kelly, I can go anywhere. It's not glamorous this life you lead. You end up going a lot of crazy places and I'm like, 'I've been worse.' " Jessica - who has kids Felix, 14, and Magnus, 12, with her husband Max Handelman - recently insisted her children have "no interest" in following in her footsteps as actors when it comes to their own working ambitions. She told PEOPLE magazine: "If my kids decide to get into acting, which they have currently no interest in, then I would be thrilled to ever do anything with them if they would deign to hang out with me. "It's unlikely. In fact, it would have to be a paying job for them to actually want to hang out with me." She also revealed one of her boys recently had a role in a school production, but wasn't impressed with the return he got for the work he put in. Speaking to E! News, she quipped: "My son was recently in a school play and he said, 'That was a lot of effort for flowers and some applause!' "
